If two commoners being well-matched in strength had a clash of saber, with battle calls and saber lights, one of them would definitely fall down. It would take them only a few minutes at most to end the fight. If one person could be a bit more dauntless with greater morality, he might become the winner through fierce collisions and crazy slashes. The braver one would win when two enemies met in a narrow way.
If two parties became experienced veterans above LV 10, it would take them a bit longer to end the fight. It was similar to the battle between two professional boxers with the same heavyweight in the ring. As both parties had rich experiences and battle skills and had less difference in battle force, such combat could barely come to an end in a short period of time. The combat wouldn't come to an end until the last stage due to a small mistake, weaker battle force, a bit slower movement, a bit lack of precision or a bit weaker strength, even a pure fluke mind.
