Boom!
The Gaia Energy Cannon exploded in front of Situ Chicheng, followed by a thunderous roar.
Buildings in the vicinity were the first to suffer, cracking under the impact of the energy waves, covered in a dense, spiderweb-like network of fissures.
Immediately after, Situ Chicheng's body was sent flying backward, crashing violently against a wall. He stuck there like a hanging painting before the wall shattered and he was gradually embedded within it.
But it wasn't over yet…
Boom, boom, boom…
After the energy fluctuations subsided, the high-temperature energy from the Gaia Energy Cannon erupted, causing the air to constantly detonate.
Explosion after explosion boomed, the fiery spheres connecting into a line, creating a spectacular sight. Then, a skyscraper to the side began to tilt and collapse.
Bai Ye looked at the rising black smoke ahead and the fireballs raining down, saying, "Don't waste time, I know you're not dead yet!"
Suddenly, amidst a wisp of drifting black smoke, a silver light appeared. It was Situ Chicheng, wielding his sword and lunging towards Bai Ye, his blade aimed directly at Bai Ye's throat.
Bai Ye remained calm, reaching out to grip the Ningshuang Sword and flicking it forward.
Clang!
A crisp metallic sound echoed as Bai Ye parried Situ Chicheng's sword strike horizontally with the Ningshuang Sword.
Bai Ye looked at Situ Chicheng and taunted with a playful sneer, "What? Finally learned to bow to reality?"
Bai Ye couldn't believe Situ Chicheng didn't know that it was more sensible to confront him directly rather than clashing head-on with WarGreymon.
Situ Chicheng's refusal to do so stemmed purely from his arrogance.
Catch the king by capturing the bandits?
Situ Chicheng disdained such tactics. He would defeat WarGreymon first, then defeat Bai Ye, thus proving that nothing could withstand him.
But…
Situ Chicheng eventually discovered that defeating WarGreymon, and then defeating Bai Ye…
Seemed a bit difficult!
Therefore, Bai Ye's words were like a sharp knife, piercing directly into Situ Chicheng's heart, causing his rage to erupt completely.
"Die!"
Situ Chicheng roared, abandoning his flying sword and suddenly striking out with a palm towards Bai Ye.
"Dragon Sword!"
In front of Situ Chicheng, a circle of golden light appeared. Within the golden light, lines formed by condensed light quickly drew an incantation.
Roar!
A dragon's roar sounded, and a golden dragon, four to five meters long, shot out from the incantation, hurtling towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye didn't waste words, leaping to the side to evade the golden dragon's lunge.
Boom!
The golden dragon bit down, crushing a section of the ground. It then looked up at Bai Ye, intending to continue its attack. At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly struck out with his palm.
"Xuanming Divine Palm!"
That palm strike seemed ordinary, but the moment Bai Ye unleashed it, the surrounding temperature plummeted drastically. Frost and snow materialized from thin air, converging at 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 on the other side had intended to coordinate his attack with the golden dragon. However, the instant he began to press forward, he felt a strong gust of wind approaching from behind.
Situ Chicheng was forced to retreat, and WarGreymon arrived, striking down with a fierce claw that shattered the ground.
Missing his target, WarGreymon did not give up. He twisted his body and continued to pursue Situ Chicheng, crossing his claws in front of him and then slashing forward forcefully, creating a cross-shaped beam of light that shot forward.
Clang!
Situ Chicheng quickly brought his sword horizontally in front of him, deflecting the beam and shattering it. But in that instant…
A large cascade of playing cards appeared to Situ Chicheng's side, spinning and slicing down towards him.
Situ Chicheng's eyes narrowed. He swiftly took to the air, and the playing cards embedded themselves in the ground. However, when he looked up again, Situ Chicheng found that Bai Ye had vanished.
"I'm here!"
Bai Ye's voice echoed from behind Situ Chicheng as he reached out with a palm strike.
Situ Chicheng reacted swiftly, dodging the attack, but his left arm was injured, hindering his movement!
Bai Ye missed his first palm strike and immediately changed his hand into a claw, grabbing Situ Chicheng by the left shoulder.
In an instant, an intensely chilling sensation spread through him.
Situ Chicheng gritted his teeth and swung his sword, forcing Bai Ye back. He then retreated, looking at his left shoulder, where a patch of frost had appeared.
Subsequently, Situ Chicheng's entire left arm began to turn a bruised black. The cold poison had entered his body and was rapidly spreading along his arm.
Situ Chicheng resolutely gritted his teeth, then raised his sword and forcefully slashed at his own shoulder.
With a *poof*!
After the sword beam flashed, Situ Chicheng severed his entire left arm, thus preventing the cold poison from continuously invading his body.
Dark blood sprayed continuously from the wound on his shoulder. Situ Chicheng's face was ashen. He quickly pulled out a porcelain bottle from his embrace, unscrewed it, and poured pills into his mouth, which finally stopped the bleeding from the wound.
Bai Ye's assessment was that he was ruthless. Cutting off an arm was indeed a way to prevent the cold poison from entering his body, but…
Bai Ye spread his palms, cold energy surging from them and drifting into the surroundings.
Bai Ye said, "For your next palm strike, what part of your body will you cut off?"
Situ Chicheng sneered, "You're just basking in your temporary glory. Do you think you still have a chance?"
As Situ Chicheng spoke, he swung his single arm, and the surrounding illusionary swords vibrated, emitting "buzzing" sword hums.
In an instant, the surrounding illusionary swords flew up, emitting dazzling sword light and swiftly arranging themselves around Situ Chicheng. Faintly, one could sense a mysterious connection between the arrangement of these illusionary swords!
Bai Ye frowned, "A sword formation?"
Situ Chicheng let out a cold laugh, "At least you have some discernment!"
Situ Chicheng extended his hand forward, and the surrounding illusionary swords began to revolve.
"Tiangang Sword Formation!" Situ Chicheng shouted, "Exorcise evil!"
The illusionary swords suddenly formed a continuous line, like a sword dragon, dancing in the air. They circled around Bai Ye and Situ Chicheng, enclosing them.
Bai Ye felt a sense of foreboding, a feeling of sharp edges pressing in. The dancing illusionary swords made Bai Ye feel a sense of danger.
"WarGreymon!" Bai Ye commanded decisively, "Gaia Energy Cannon, blast a path out!"
Roar!
WarGreymon let out an enraged roar, then raised its claws and began to gather energy.
