Kent was pushed back, riding the shockwave that exploded after he clashed with the clone.
"Stronger and faster than the third-level clone," he muttered, but he quickly attacked again, aiming to check how fast and precise his attacks had become.
Blades clashed in the air, creating powerful shockwaves and sword flashes that could overwhelm anyone below the Sword Saint stage.
In fact, even Sword Saints with Profound Sword Intent and Qi below the third level would have been overwhelmed, yet he was matching the clone's attacks.
At every turn, he could tell he wasn't on par with the clone, but no matter how quick the attack was, he always countered, creating a dynamic he just couldn't understand.
"Somehow, I can defend against all his attacks like I know when and how they will be executed. This feeling is strange," Kent said to himself as he continued exchanging sword strikes with the clone.
