Chapter 2176 The Bane Family's Mixed Martial Arts
Although Matthew did not know much about Emsgate's art of the sword, he knew their cultivation methods, and
those who trained with weapons were exceptionally fond of swords. Of course, there were other weapons
available, but they were scarce.
Also, the Emsgate people strived to be the strongest, so they had an almost extrpursuit for the speed of
drawing their swords and attacking. That led to the evolution of the two most common but practical Killing
Techniques, the Sword Draw Slash and the Air Step Slash.
Both Killing Techniques had one similarity-the swordsmen needed to build up strength before slashing. At the
stime, they had to use all their power to deliver one killing blow.
Hence, when Mathias was boosting his strength with his squat, Matthew immediately realized his identity as an
Emsgate Warrior.

Similarly, Mathias was aware of that, but since he had deemed the young man before him to be a dead man, he
did not care whether his identity had been exposed. With a bloodthirsty smile, he disappeared from his spot, and
when he reappeared, he was already standing before Matthew.
Failing to react in tunder such extrspeed, Matthew used both hands to brace against the Thunder Sword
to resist the attack.
When Mathias saw that, the disdain in his eyes increased. How could a frail wooden sword resist my Cross Slash?
While he thought of that, he boosted the strength in his hands.
When both weapons clashed, Matthew instantly felt a horrifying strength entering his body through his arms,
followed by the feeling of his body getting ejected away.
Bam!
He slammed into the metal with a loud thud and dented the item. As for himself, he tasted copper in his throat
and spat out blood while the Thunder Sword was flung away. He felt hopeless while wiping the blood from the
corner of his lips. Great. I've just healed my internal injuries, and there are new ones now.
"Not bad. There are only less than ten young men who can resist my Cross Slash." Just as Mathias was proudly
showing off, his pupils contracted in shock because he discovered his Scarlet Gold Sword now had a tiny crack.
He then looked at the Thunder Sword not far away and noticed it was unscathed. His eyes becbloodshot as
he felt the urge to kill. "Kid, how dare you damage my Scarlet Gold Sword!"
In the meantime, Mylo watched the scene with greedy eyes, thinking, That Thunder Sword is not as ordinary as it
seems.
Mathias, however, was furious. His favorite sword, which had been with him for decades, was damaged, and he
could not forgive the kid for that.
Standing opposite him, Matthew stood up and felt slightly relaxed after seeing his behavior. That was because an

each other, he noticed that Mathias' speed had decreased despite increasing his attack strength.
That meant he still had hope to get out of this dire situation.
However, his only concern was the man watching them from the side. He was the greatest danger in this room,
and more importantly, that man was blocking all of his escape paths. Even the Bloodreaper's case was behind
that man, but there was not much tfor Matthew to think because another violent sword attack cat him
the next moment.
He took a deep breath and spread both his hands. That was the beginning stance of the Bane Family's mixed
martial arts. While avoiding the enemy's sword, he faced the blade and charged forward. Knowing that every
inch of the distance he lost meant he was an inch closer to danger, Mathias knew his massive sword would be
useless once Matthew got too close to him. While thinking of that, he immediately withdrew his sword and raised
his arm to punch Matthew's head.
The opponent's attack did not intimidate Matthew as he raised his palm to take on the attack. The mixed martial
art technique, One Inch Punch, instantly exploded.
