Chapter 514: Gradually Integrating

The two stood opposed, not engaging in aerial combat as in a true fight, for the backyard was not spacious enough for such maneuvers; instead, they used a flowering tree between them as a marker to see whose Flying Sword could pluck the brightest bloom without harming the rest of the garden's flowers and plants.

At their level of cultivation, control over their Flying Swords was so refined that it became completely effortless. Although this type of contest could not completely replace real combat, it essentially showcased their capabilities with the Flying Swords.

The battles between Sword Cultivators were exceedingly perilous, often decided by the smallest margins; it's a matter of who strikes first—you might only be a moment behind, but that moment could translate to a difference of several meters; holding back affects the display of true power, while going all out could easily cause harm, so unless absolutely necessary, Sword Cultivators rarely crossed swords.
