A swordmind itself did not have power, and you couldn't kill others with it. But a swordmind represented the extent of a swordsman's skill, and it showed how much their sword skills connected with the earth. The more synergy a swordsman had with the earth, the more powerful his skills would be when they were unleashed.
Someone with a strong swordmind could make even common sword skills incredibly powerful.
Han Sen was not focused on the sword, but his swordmind was the best. Although it had been achieved through luck, he tried hard to practice with it, too.
One strike drew blood, and the second strike lopped off an arm. The sword strike went for the soul.
Under Han Sen's sword, Mister Elephant felt as if he could not use his own powers to compete. It was as if he had been restricted, and couldn't do anything.
He could not block anything completely. All he could do was watch his own blood cascade.
