Boom!
The Gaia Energy Cannon exploded in front of Situ Chicheng with a deafening roar.
The surrounding buildings were the first to suffer, cracks spreading across them like a spiderweb under the impact of the energy wave.
Next, Situ Chicheng's body was sent flying backward, slamming hard against a wall. He stuck there like a hanging painting, and then, as the wall shattered, he was gradually embedded within it.
But it wasn't over…
Boom, boom, boom…
After the energy wave subsided, the high heat energy from the Gaia Energy Cannon erupted completely, causing the air to crackle and burst.
Explosion after explosion thundered, the fiery orbs merging into a continuous line, a spectacular sight. Then, a building to the side began to tilt and collapse.
Bai Ye looked at the rising black smoke ahead and the fireballs raining down, and said, "Don't waste time. I know you're not dead yet!"
Suddenly, from a wisp of black smoke, a silver glint appeared. It was Situ Chicheng, sword in hand, charging towards Bai Ye, his sword aimed directly at Bai Ye's throat.
Bai Ye calmly reached out and gripped the Ning Shuang sword, flicking it forward.
Clang!
A crisp ringing sound echoed as Bai Ye parried Situ Chicheng's sword with his Ning Shuang sword.
Bai Ye looked at Situ Chicheng and mockingly sneered, "What? Finally learned to bow to reality?"
Bai Ye didn't believe Situ Chicheng didn't know that it was better to confront him directly than to fight WarGreymon head-on.
Situ Chicheng's refusal to do so was purely due to his arrogance.
Catch the leader to capture the bandits?
Situ Chicheng disdained such tactics. He intended to defeat WarGreymon first, and then defeat Bai Ye, proving that everything before him was fragile.
But…
Situ Chicheng eventually realized that defeating WarGreymon and then defeating Bai Ye…
Seemed a bit difficult!
Therefore, Bai Ye's words were like a sharp knife directly piercing Situ Chicheng's heart, igniting his rage.
"Die!"
Situ Chicheng roared, abandoning his flying sword, and suddenly thrust his palm towards Bai Ye.
"Dragon Sword!"
In front of Situ Chicheng, a circle of golden light appeared, and within it, lines of condensed light quickly formed a rune.
Roar!
A dragon's roar sounded, and a golden dragon, about four to five meters long, burst from the rune and lunged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye didn't waste words, leaping to the side to evade the golden dragon's pounce.
Boom!
The golden dragon bit down, shattering a section of the ground. It then looked up at Bai Ye, intending to attack again, but at this moment, Bai Ye suddenly thrust out his palm.
"Xuan Ming Divine Palm!"
That palm strike appeared ordinary, but the moment Bai Ye unleashed it, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and frost and snow materialized out of thin air, gathering in Bai Ye's palm and erupting towards the golden dragon.
Crack, crack!
The sound of freezing quickly followed. The golden dragon was soon covered in frost, encased in ice.
Meanwhile…
Situ Chicheng, who had intended to cooperate with the golden dragon's attack, felt a strong gust of wind approaching from behind just as he was about to press forward.
Situ Chicheng could only retreat reluctantly. Then, WarGreymon arrived and slammed down with a powerful claw, smashing the ground to pieces.
Failing to hit, WarGreymon did not give up. It twisted its body and continued to pursue Situ Chicheng. Its claws crossed in front of its body, and it slashed forward forcefully, creating a cross of light that shot forward.
Clang!
Situ Chicheng quickly brought his sword horizontally in front of him, blocking the blow and shattering the light. But in that instant…
A large number of playing cards appeared to Situ Chicheng's side, spinning and slashing down.
Situ Chicheng's eyes narrowed. He rapidly ascended, and the playing cards embedded themselves in the ground. However, when he looked up again, Situ Chicheng found that Bai Ye had disappeared.
"I'm here!"
Bai Ye's voice sounded behind Situ Chicheng, and he thrust his palm towards him.
Situ Chicheng's reaction was also extremely fast. He quickly turned to dodge, but his left arm was injured, hindering his movement!
Bai Ye's first palm strike missed Situ Chicheng. He immediately changed his palm into a claw and gripped Situ Chicheng's left shoulder.
In that instant, an incredibly chilling sensation washed over him.
Situ Chicheng gritted his teeth and swung his sword, forcing Bai Ye back. He then retreated continuously and looked at his left shoulder, where frost had appeared.
Then, Situ Chicheng's entire left arm began to turn a dark, bruised color. The cold poison had entered his body and was rapidly spreading along his arm.
Situ Chicheng decisively gritted his teeth, then raised his sword and forcefully slashed down at his shoulder.
With a thud!
After the sword light flashed, Situ Chicheng directly severed his entire left arm, thus preventing the cold poison from continuously invading his body.
Dark blood spurted from the wound on his shoulder. Situ Chicheng's face was pale. He quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his embrace, unscrewed it, and poured pills into his mouth. Only then did the wound stop bleeding rapidly.
Bai Ye's assessment was that he was ruthless. Severing his own arm indeed stopped the cold poison from entering his body, but…
Bai Ye spread his palms, cold energy surging within them, constantly drifting outwards.
Bai Ye said, "For the next palm, what part of your body are you going to cut off?"
Situ Chicheng sneered, "You've only achieved a momentary victory. Do you think you still have a chance?"
As Situ Chicheng spoke, he waved his single arm, and the surrounding illusionary swords began to tremble, emitting constant "buzzing" sounds.
In an instant, the surrounding illusionary swords flew up, emitting dazzling sword light, and rapidly fell around Situ Chicheng. Faintly, one could sense a mysterious connection in the arrangement of these illusionary swords!
Bai Ye frowned, "A sword formation?"
Situ Chicheng coldly chuckled, "You've got some eyes after all!"
Situ Chicheng extended his hand forward, and the illusionary swords around him began to rotate.
"Tian Gang Sword Formation!" Situ Chicheng shouted, "Exorcise evil!"
The illusionary swords suddenly connected into a line, like a sword dragon dancing in the air, circling Bai Ye and Situ Chicheng, trapping them within.
Bai Ye felt a sense of unease, a feeling of sharp edge. The dancing illusionary swords made Bai Ye feel danger.
"WarGreymon!" Bai Ye said decisively, "Gaia Energy Cannon, blast a path out!"
Roar!
WarGreymon let out a furious roar and raised its claws, beginning to gather energy.
