I think it was replaced by Arming sword and then further by long sword. The Viking sword was heavier and more for bashing opponents, and the Arming sword lightness and flexibility and the Longsword a more flexible longer version of it.

The massive weight of the European sword is mythical, the Viking types of the early middle ages weighed three pounds or slightly less . The traditional Chinese jian type sword, a straight double edge blade similar in design to the swords of the early middle ages in Europe and overlapping in time, would weigh only slightly, if any, less than the Viking weapon, so I suppose any technique Chinese fighters developed would be transferable. There are many sources on swords, their history and use from all ages and continents available online.
