Jing'an had made a plan and began to bombard the Sword Cultivator in the forest. Apart from using the trees to press him, he also hid in the shadows, awaiting the opportune moment to strike.
In his view, the only thing the Sword Cultivator could do was to ascend with his sword to break through. When the Flying Sword left his body, that would be the time for him to unleash his Divine Skills and claim his enemy's life.
As he wished, the Sword Cultivator did indeed exit the Body Sword State, but he did not force his way through. Instead, he leisurely strolled through the forest, holding his Longsword. The aura he emitted while holding the sword extinguished Jing'an's thoughts of getting close.
Basically, every Sword Cultivator was proficient in Close Combat Sword Skills, and some even had very high mastery, just like this one in front of him.
Unable to get close, he decided to continue compressing the trees. It was the best way to observe how the Sword Cultivator would react.
