The Pulling Method had only succeeded once. Just as if caught off guard, the joint attack formation was greatly shaken, but once it recovered its original momentum, the technique no longer worked. For the Heaven and Earth Great Shift to work, I needed to see through the opponent's forms.
I had to know the direction of the force so I could pull or reverse it as I intended. Just moments ago, I had grasped the flow of Yang's secret art and was able to draw it out with the Pulling Method.
But then Dong Hae-il and Mok Un-jeong's breathing became almost one, like a single body, so I could no longer read their sword paths. Since the Pulling Method failed, there was no point in even attempting the Reversal Method.
I contemplated the Yin-Yang Twin Spiral Formation, which was embodied in abstract images of Yin and Yang, through the path of Heavenly Steel, and confronted it with the Heavenly Steel Saber Technique.
Clang!!!
Along with a heavy metallic sound, the sword force of the joint attack that had entangled me was pushed far away. I swung my long blade to protect myself and leaped backward. The image of the Yin-Yang Twin Spiral Formation quickly dispersed, and I saw Dong Hae-il and Mok Un-jeong standing there with their swords.
