Dang! Dang!! Dang!!! 

Sparks flew in mid-air like heavy flints in the night sky as the two blades collided in mid air with like bullets. 

Both Duan Ming'an and Zhao Jie kept changing their finger postures seemingly directly changing the direction of the sword trajectory. 

The flying blade is a tool that is currently connected to the mind but just thinking of the path the blade will pass through isn't just enough to directly propel the blade. 

There had to be some kind of stimulation from the body because as an Mortal Stage Mental Practitioner, just using the mind alone isn't enough to propel the blade to the direction one wished which was the reason for using the hands as a sort of steering wheel for the blade. 

Duan Ming'an had wide evil grin in his face as he kept pressing forwards with reckless abandon, his fingers kept switching poses, unexpected and dominant. 

But Zhao Jie didn't really show signs that he was bothered by Duan Ming's forceful blade. His feet kept withdrawing backwards, parrying the blade attacks with his own flying blade. 

It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage but only at a slight disadvantage and for him to lose the battle, Duan Ming'an would have to try better than that or they would be there all day fighting against each other.. 

Although the fight was beginning to get boring, David didn't chose to leave. Instead, he focused all of his attention on both of their hands as they switched postures and positions. 

His expression was currently serious and he was deep in thought. While he had been reading about mental techniques, he had read about the directing finger poses but didn't think too much of it but had the faintest idea it was important which was why he had memorised the entire basic finger movement, such as Pierce, Slash, Block, and other finger poses.

But now that he was seeing it in person, he finally realised just how important it was. 

Suddenly, Duan Ming'an snapped, and with a sinister glare, he said. "Enough of this nonsense! Let's see if you can handle my Sword technique!"

His gaze changed and his bearing switched up like a tornado from a calm wind. His right index finger and middle finger met with his left index and middle finger. 

This pose seem to be some kind of magnet and his treasured sword flew towards him with intense speed, leaving the entanglement of swords. 

Stopping right before him. Duan Ming'an eyes opened wide and a smirk appeared on his face. 

"Five stars revolution. First star... "

His smile spread wider and the blade before him gave a droaning sound while his fingers kept continously changed postures, seemingly leaving after images. 

Zhao Jie's expression turned serious ad he could feel the gravity of the attacks Duan Ming'an was about to unleash. 

Not daring to tally, he also called back his flying sowed and his fingers postures also started changing. 

"This is the moment I've been waiting for! They are finally unleashing their techniques after feeling each others strength." The crowds were all excited when they saw the situation was getting more intense. 

David's eyes got brighter, this was exactly what he was expecting. His eyes suddenly glowed both red and gold and he was in his absolute focus state. 

All of a sudden, his switching finger posture halted and Daun Ming'an breathed out a single word with disdain written all over his face "First Star... Fall!"

"Whoosh!"

The atmosphere trembled and the air whizzed as though a meteor was descending. There seem to be illusion of a starry sky faintly shown in the surrounding area, and in the next second, a beam of light descended from above. 

Like a collapsed star, the beam shot through the air with intense speed, shooting towards Zhen Jie not looking anything like a sharp sword. 

The crowds gasped for air as they saw the technique displayed by Duan ming'an "Sword Kinesis phenomenal!"

"To be able to affect the environment and although it's very faint, the starry skies are still visible!" some one muttered in disbelief. 

"Duan ming'an has unexpectedly reached this level of mastery in his star fall, unbelievable!" another person shook his head in amazement. 

Zhan Jie's expression was the same and he didn't look as though he was disturbed by the incoming flying blade that was no different form a shooting star. 

His finger posture didn't stop in the slightest and they switched from one form to another before it eventually stopped. 

"Lightning Pierce, first form: Roaring Thunder!" His voice rumbled and the air trembled. 

Immediately, the sound around him faded and there was a crackle of electricity as lightning crackled and faint signs of a storm could be witnessed within the vicinity. 

"Crackle!"

Within that storm, a single stroke of lightning formed in mid-air and in an unpredictable manner, it stuck out towards the shooting star as though it was thunder descending from the nine heavens.

"Boom!"

Both the shooting star and the lightning strike descended upon each other, creating visible sharp ripples in the surrounding area as though two super heavy metallic object had collided. 

Sparks erupted in mid-air and then, the two faint phenomenon faded, revealing the true from of the things that had attached. 

The two sword were immediately sent reeling backwards and the result was obvious to everyone, they both were equally matched. 

Crossing his fingers, his blade circled back to him returning to the spot right before him. 

Duan ming'an expression wasn't that of anger like one had expected, instead he had a smile in his face as though he wasn't at all annoyed by the fact that Zhen Jie had the strength to counter his technique. 

Techniques like that takes time to master and normally, one would be given the chance to learn to techniques which was a good and also a bad thing. 

Good because one would be able to do combat with the sword kinesis using two techniques, making it unpredictable for the opponent to focus on but it was a bad thing because one would not be able to focus on just one technique. 

Perhaps the average person would think having many techniques was the path to go but in this case, learning a single technique to its final stage gives you a huge boost in strength, a lot better than having to learn multiple techniques with the same power level. 

"I hadn't expected you would have the guts to learn an high grade technique which is very time consuming. And you managed to learn the first stage so quickly, I must commend your effort." Duan Ming'an smiled as his treasured sword kept floating around him like a pet. 

Zhen Jie's expression was indifferent but he had a premonition something wasn't entirely right but he replied. "Thanks for you appreciation."

"But... Just the first stage of a high grade technique isn't enough to stop me. Let me show you teh true difference between an ordinary man and a genius." A wide smile appeared in his face as he gazed at Zhen Jie sinisterly. 

"Five Star Revolution, Second Star... " His finger posture swapped poses like phantoms, leaving after images and in the blink of an eye, the vicinity trembled and the air vibrated like a strings in a guitar. 

Vague starry skies filled the environment and the surrounding area seem to darken slightly. Five faint stars appeared in the air like a constellation. 

"... Fall!"

Whoosh!!! 

Shriek! 

One of the five star suddenly trembled and in an instant, it descended towards Zhen Jia like a meteor falling from the sky. 

The descending sound was terrifying and the pressure as it descended was so powerful the entire air seem pressured by the sword star. 

The spectating crowd couldn't even say a single word as this seem to be some sort of shock to them. 

Meanwhile, Zhen Jie's eyes opened wide in shock and he immediately switched his finger form. He had tried to gain insight into the second form of his Lightning Pierce technique but then he was unable to do so as he didn't have the talent to enter the second level quickly.

And since he wasn't so talented, he had used the time to learn another technique because of the Demon hunt that was coming up in the next few weeks. 

But he had never expected Duan Ming'an to have reached the second level so quickly as the only person he knew it have reached the second level of their techniques amongst them could only be counted on one finger. 

Instantly, he switched up to use his most powerful technique. "Flood Dragon Wave, whirlpool!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!! 

The environment seem to be filled with water and the air gave the impression to become like an ocean, suppressing the entire world all by it self. 

In that instant, a whirlpool formed and immediately, it slammed into the shooting star as though wanting to wash the meteor away from it's trajectory. 

David was stunned by this display of strength and his eyes lit up as he watched the battle that was in going. 

Sword Kinesis.
