"Dao Ye True Person?" Ling Yunpo was also greatly shocked upon hearing the name mentioned by Duan Fenhai and Sima Changyan.
Before his first participation in the Shushan Tournament, Lin Duanshan had explained the various schools of sword techniques in Shushan to him, also mentioning this title — Dao Ye True Person's swordsmanship was vastly different from Su Jian's Seven Kills Sword Technique.
Seven Kills Sword Technique emphasizes "striking first to gain the upper hand." As long as my sword is fast enough, I can quickly seize the initiative in battle.
However, Dao Ye True Person's Ziyuan Sword Technique took the approach of "striking later to gain control." Its theory also had the mystical style of swordsmanship: A Sword Immortal's moves, if there is a moment when they are impregnable, then it must be the instant when his sword is about to strike but has not yet done so.
