With a snap, Bai Ye finished speaking and snapped his fingers.
WarGreymon immediately moved, charging towards Situ Chicheng. It then leaped, opening its massive jaws to bite down on him.
Situ Chicheng swiftly changed his sword technique, "Myriad Swords Return as One!"
The surrounding illusory swords flew towards Situ Chicheng, converging to form a giant sword that descended upon WarGreymon.
Boom!
WarGreymon was just inches away from biting Situ Chicheng when the giant sword struck, slamming WarGreymon into the ground.
With a tremendous crash, the ground erupted, forming a massive crater and countless fissures.
Situ Chicheng, standing on his flying sword, looked down at Bai Ye and said, "Indeed, this is our last meeting."
Though the words were the same, they held entirely different meanings coming from Bai Ye and Situ Chicheng.
Bai Ye grinned and then said, "Mega Flame!"
WarGreymon, still lying on the ground, opened its mouth and spewed out a torrent of flames towards the sky.
Situ Chicheng waved his hand, and the giant sword split back into countless illusory swords, arranging themselves into a spinning circle.
As the illusory swords spun, the flames from WarGreymon met them like a wall, being constantly deflected and spilling outwards in all directions.
Situ Chicheng declared, "If this is all you've got, then prepare to die!"
As he spoke, Situ Chicheng casually gestured towards Bai Ye, and an illusory sword descended, piercing directly towards Bai Ye.
Just as the illusory sword was about to pierce Bai Ye's throat, Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand and caught the flying sword.
Clang!
Bai Ye casually tossed the illusory sword aside and said, "Want to see something impressive? I'll show you!"
Bai Ye looked at WarGreymon, waiting for it to rise, and then...
"WarGreymon, Ultimate Evolution!" Bai Ye shouted, "WarGreymon!"
Roar!
Responding to Bai Ye's command, WarGreymon roared towards the sky.
In the next instant, black rings appeared around WarGreymon, filled with dense green program code. Then, a white light enveloped WarGreymon, and its body began to transform.
WarGreymon, an ultimate-level Digimon.
After evolving to its ultimate form, WarGreymon's appearance had completely changed. It transformed from a dinosaur-like form to a more humanoid shape. Its head remained that of a dragon, covered in metallic plating, but its body was now clad in metal plates in a humanoid posture. Its legs became larger with longer claws, and its arms, no longer bent, were straight like a human's, equipped with two mechanical claw-arms as weapons, resembling a dragon warrior in metal armor.
Its strength and speed had visibly increased.
At the same time, Bai Ye looked at the holographic screen in front of him and saw that WarGreymon's skills had also increased, no longer limited to just Mega Flame.
In the next instant, WarGreymon stepped out of the black rings.
Bai Ye immediately waved his hand, issuing a command, "WarGreymon, Gaia Force!"
Gaia Force: Concentrates energy from the atmosphere into a single point, then releases a high-density, high-heat energy projectile.
Roar!
Upon receiving the command, WarGreymon brought its hands together in front of its chest. Soon, golden rings appeared in its palms, quickly condensing into a blazing crimson energy sphere, which it then hurled forcefully towards Situ Chicheng.
Situ Chicheng remained still, intending to block with his illusory swords as the energy sphere flew towards him.
However...
This time, it wouldn't be so easy!
With a boom!
The energy sphere collided with the illusory swords, erupting with a deafening explosion.
Intense energy waves pushed outwards, setting the sky ablaze. The clustered illusory swords were instantly blasted apart, scattering in all directions. Some embedded themselves into nearby walls, while others fell to the ground.
For the first time, Situ Chicheng's cold expression changed, and he looked at the scattering illusory swords with astonishment.
His sword formation had been broken?
And it had been forcefully broken?
Just then, Bai Ye's voice rang out again, "Dramon Breaker!"
Dramon Breaker: WarGreymon spins its body at extreme speed, forming a tornado to deliver a piercing attack.
Almost the instant Bai Ye gave the command, WarGreymon twisted its ankles and began to spin rapidly. Dust billowed from the ground as currents of wind gathered around WarGreymon, forming a tornado.
With a thud, WarGreymon leaped forward, charging towards Situ Chicheng.
Situ Chicheng snapped out of his surprise and quickly formed another sword technique, "Myriad Swords Return as One!"
The scattered illusory swords were drawn back, flying towards Situ Chicheng once more, merging into the form of a giant sword.
Situ Chicheng pointed forward, "Break!"
The giant sword flew forward and collided with the tornado whipped up by WarGreymon.
Crackle, crackle!
The giant sword and the tornado crashed together, emitting a piercing screech of metal on metal.
Situ Chicheng's expression became increasingly grim, his right hand, holding the sword technique, trembling under immense pressure.
Then...
After a stalemate of about half a minute, there was a thunderous roar, and the giant sword shattered, breaking back into countless small swords.
However, as the wind subsided, WarGreymon was also blasted down from the air.
With a thud, WarGreymon slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit.
Situ Chicheng, in mid-air, formed another sword technique, "Shu Mountain Myriad Swords Technique!"
The illusory swords, which had been repelled, swiftly flew back and condensed in front of Situ Chicheng, beginning to descend. He intended to launch a continuous barrage to defeat WarGreymon before it could recover.
Bai Ye decisively commanded, "Courage Shield!"
A metal plate on WarGreymon's back unfolded and ejected, which WarGreymon caught in its hand – it was a metal shield.
Clang, clang, clang...
The illusory swords rained down, striking the shield repeatedly with clear ringing sounds.
As soon as the falling illusory swords dispersed, Bai Ye waved his hand again, "Gaia Force!"
WarGreymon roared and raised one hand, rapidly condensing an energy sphere. It launched a swift counterattack before Situ Chicheng's illusory swords could reform.
