Boom!
The Gaia Energy Cannon flew to Situ Chicheng's front and exploded with a deafening roar.
The surrounding buildings were the first to suffer, cracking under the impact of the energy fluctuations, covered in a dense, spiderweb-like pattern of fissures.
Immediately after, Situ Chicheng's body was sent flying backward, crashing violently into a wall. He stuck to it like a hanging picture, and then, with the wall shattering, he was gradually embedded within it.
But it wasn't over yet...
Boom, boom, boom...
After the energy fluctuations subsided, the high-temperature energy within the Gaia Energy Cannon erupted completely, and the air began to constantly explode.
One explosion after another thundered, the fiery spheres connecting into a line, creating a truly spectacular sight. Then, a building to the side began to tilt and collapse.
Bai Ye looked at the rising black smoke ahead and the falling fireballs like rain, and said, "Don't waste time, I know you're not dead yet!"
Suddenly, amidst a wisp of drifting black smoke, a silver gleam appeared. It was Situ Chicheng, sword in hand, charging towards Bai Ye, his blade aimed directly at Bai Ye's throat.
Bai Ye calmly reached out and grasped the Ning Shuang sword, parrying forward.
Clang!
A crisp ringing sound echoed as Bai Ye held the Ning Shuang sword horizontally, deflecting Situ Chicheng's strike.
Bai Ye looked at Situ Chicheng and taunted with a slight sneer, "What? Finally learned to bow to reality?"
Bai Ye didn't believe Situ Chicheng didn't know that instead of confronting Battle-Scarred Dragon, it was better to go directly for him.
Situ Chicheng didn't do so purely out of his own arrogance.
Capture the king by capturing the leader?
Situ Chicheng disdained such tactics. He would defeat Battle-Scarred Dragon, and then defeat Bai Ye, thereby proving that everything was vulnerable before him.
But...
Situ Chicheng eventually discovered that after defeating Battle-Scarred Dragon, then defeating Bai Ye...
Seemed a bit difficult!
Therefore, Bai Ye's words, like a sharp knife, pierced directly into Situ Chicheng's heart, causing his anger to erupt completely.
"Die!"
Situ Chicheng roared, abandoning his flying sword, and suddenly struck out with a palm towards Bai Ye.
"Dragon Sword!"
In front of Situ Chicheng, a circle of golden light appeared, and within the golden light, lines formed by condensed light quickly drew a talisman.
Roar!
A dragon's roar sounded, and a golden dragon, four to five meters long, shot out from the talisman, charging towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye wasted no words, leaping to the side to dodge the golden dragon's pounce.
Boom!
The golden dragon bit down, shattering a section of the ground, then looked up at Bai Ye, intending to attack again. At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly struck out with a palm.
"Xuan Ming Divine Palm!"
The palm strike appeared ordinary, but the moment Bai Ye unleashed it, the surrounding temperature plummeted drastically. Frost and snow materialized out of thin air, gathering at Bai Ye's palm and erupting towards the golden dragon.
Crack, crack!
The sound of freezing quickly followed. The golden dragon's body was soon covered in frost, encased in ice.
At the same time...
Situ Chicheng, who had intended to attack in conjunction with the golden dragon, felt a strong wind approaching from behind just as he was about to press forward.
Situ Chicheng could only retreat reluctantly. Then Battle-Scarred Dragon arrived and powerfully swiped with its claw, shattering the ground.
Missing its target, Battle-Scarred Dragon did not give up. It twisted its body and continued to pursue Situ Chicheng. Its claws crossed in front of it, then it slashed forward forcefully, creating a cross of light that shot forward.
Clang!
Situ Chicheng quickly held his sword horizontally in front of him, colliding and shattering the light. But in that instant...
A large number of playing cards appeared to Situ Chicheng's side, spinning and slashing down at him.
Situ Chicheng's gaze sharpened, and he quickly leaped into the air. The playing cards then embedded themselves into the ground. However, when he looked up again, Situ Chicheng found that Bai Ye had vanished.
"Over here!"
Bai Ye's voice sounded from behind Situ Chicheng, and he reached out with a palm strike towards him.
Situ Chicheng's reaction was extremely fast, and he quickly turned to dodge. However, Situ Chicheng's left arm was injured, making his movements inconvenient!
When Bai Ye's first palm missed Situ Chicheng, he immediately changed his palm into a claw and grabbed Situ Chicheng's left shoulder.
In an 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, looking at his left shoulder. Frost had appeared on his left shoulder.
Then, Situ Chicheng's entire left arm began to turn a dark blue-black color. The cold poison had entered his body and was rapidly spreading along his arm.
Situ Chicheng decisively gritted his teeth, and then with a swift movement, swung his sword down forcefully onto his shoulder.
With a *thud*!
After the sword light passed, Situ Chicheng directly severed his entire left arm, thereby cutting off the continuous invasion of the cold poison into his body.
Dark blood splattered from the wound on his shoulder. Situ Chicheng's face turned pale. He quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his embrace, unscrewed it, and poured pills into his mouth, which quickly stopped the bleeding.
Bai Ye's assessment was that he was ruthless. Severing his own arm indeed prevented the cold poison from entering his body, but...
Bai Ye spread his palms, cold air surging within them, continuously drifting outwards.
Bai Ye said, "For the next palm, what part of your body do you plan to cut off?"
Situ Chicheng sneered, "You're just a petty person who's had a moment of triumph. 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 continuous "buzzing" sword hums.
In an instant, the surrounding illusionary swords flew up, emitting dazzling sword light, and rapidly landed around Situ Chicheng. Faintly, one could feel an inexplicable connection between the arrangement of these illusionary swords!
Bai Ye frowned, "Sword formation?"
Situ Chicheng sneered, "You have some eyesight after all!"
Situ Chicheng reached out towards the sky in front of him, and the surrounding illusionary swords immediately began to rotate.
"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 within.
Bai Ye felt a sense of foreboding, a feeling of sharp edges all around. The dancing illusionary swords made Bai Ye feel a sense of danger.
"Battle-Scarred Dragon!" Bai Ye said decisively, "Gaia Energy Cannon, blast a path out!"
Roar!
Battle-Scarred Dragon let out an angry roar, then raised its claws and began to gather energy.
