Unexpectedly, the Killing Sword of Nine Yin Mountain can actually be intercepted purely with swordsmanship and sword skills, which opened up Tie Dan's mind, giving him many new insights.
The swordsmanship wielded by the opponent is indeed a world apart from the approach of Nine Yin Mountain.
It may sound strange, but the set used by this old farmer actually leans more towards Han-style Ancient Swordsmanship, while the swordsmanship passed down by Nine Yin Mountain is more akin to the modern thrusting sword of Chen Xuantian.
After all, what Sword Sect teaches ultimately boils down to killing skills; the sword is just a tool, not for sparring or competing. It emphasizes simplicity and directness in movement, launching like a storm, firing the sword at the most lethal moment, aiming for a sure kill and unavoidable death.
