Boom!
The Gaia energy cannon exploded in front of Situ Chicheng with a thunderous roar.
The surrounding buildings were the first to suffer, cracking densely like a spider web under the impact of the energy waves.
Immediately after, Situ Chicheng’s body was sent flying backward, crashing violently 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 yet…
Boom, boom, boom…
After the energy fluctuations subsided, the high heat energy from the Gaia energy cannon erupted completely, and the sky began to crackle continuously.
Explosions echoed one after another, with fiery plumes connecting into a line, creating a magnificent spectacle. Then, a skyscraper on the side began to tilt and collapse.
Bai Ye looked at the rising black smoke ahead and the falling embers, and said, “Don’t waste time. I know you’re not dead yet!”
Suddenly, a silver glint emerged from a wisp of black smoke. It was Situ Chicheng, sword in hand, charging towards Bai Ye, his sword aimed directly at Bai Ye’s throat.
Bai Ye remained calm, reaching out to grip the Frost Condensing Sword and parrying forward.
Clang!
A crisp ringing sound echoed. Bai Ye held the Frost Condensing Sword horizontally, blocking Situ Chicheng’s strike.
Bai Ye looked at Situ Chicheng, a mocking smile playing on his lips. “What? Finally learned to bow down to reality?”
Bai Ye didn’t believe Situ Chicheng was unaware that it was more sensible to target him directly rather than clashing with WarGreymon.
Situ Chicheng’s refusal to do so was purely due to his arrogance.
Catch the king first?
Situ Chicheng disdained such tactics. He intended to defeat WarGreymon first, then Bai Ye, thereby proving that nothing could withstand him.
But…
Situ Chicheng eventually realized that defeating WarGreymon first, and then Bai Ye…
Seemed a bit difficult!
Therefore, Bai Ye’s words were like a sharp blade piercing Situ Chicheng’s heart, igniting his rage.
“Die!”
Situ Chicheng roared, abandoning his flying sword, and suddenly struck out with a palm towards Bai Ye.
“Dragon Sword!”
A circle of golden light appeared before Situ Chicheng. Within the golden light, lines of condensed light quickly formed a rune.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar echoed, and a golden dragon, four to five meters long, rushed out of the rune, streaking towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye didn’t waste words, leaping sideways to avoid the golden dragon’s pounce.
Boom!
The golden dragon bit down, shattering a patch of ground. It then looked up at Bai Ye, intending to attack again. At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly struck out with his palm.
“Mystic Nether 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 ensued. The golden dragon was soon covered in frost, encased in ice.
Meanwhile…
Situ Chicheng, who had intended to attack in conjunction with the golden dragon, felt a fierce wind approaching from behind just as he was about to press his advantage.
Situ Chicheng was forced to retreat. WarGreymon then arrived and struck down with a claw, pulverizing the ground.
Unyielding, WarGreymon did not give up. It twisted its body and continued to pursue Situ Chicheng, crossing its claws in front of it and slashing forward forcefully, creating a cross of light that shot forward.
Clang!
Situ Chicheng quickly brought his sword across his body, shattering the light. But in that instant…
A large swarm of playing cards appeared to Situ Chicheng’s side, spinning and slashing down towards him.
Situ Chicheng’s gaze sharpened. He rapidly ascended into the air, and the playing cards embedded themselves into the ground. However, when he looked up again, Situ Chicheng found that Bai Ye had vanished.
“Here!”
Bai Ye’s voice echoed behind Situ Chicheng as he reached out to strike him with a palm.
Situ Chicheng reacted swiftly, dodging back. However, his left arm was injured, hindering his movement!
Bai Ye’s initial palm strike missed Situ Chicheng. He immediately changed his hand to a claw and seized Situ Chicheng’s left shoulder.
In that instant, an icy chill surged 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 black and blue, as the cold poison entered his body and rapidly spread along his arm.
Situ Chicheng decisively gritted his teeth, then raised his sword and brought it down forcefully on his own shoulder.
With a splash!
After the sword strike, Situ Chicheng severed his entire left arm to prevent the cold poison from further invading his body.
Black blood spurted from the wound on his shoulder. Situ Chicheng’s face was deathly pale. He quickly pulled out a porcelain bottle from his embrace, opened 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, and a cold aura surged from them, drifting outwards.
Bai Ye said, “For the next palm strike, what part of your body do you plan to cut off?”
Situ Chicheng sneered, “You’re just enjoying a moment of triumph. Do you think you still have a chance?”
As Situ Chicheng spoke, he waved his single arm, and the illusory swords around him trembled, emitting a constant hum.
In an instant, the surrounding illusory swords rose, emitting blinding sword light, rapidly arranging themselves around Situ Chicheng. Faintly, one could sense an inexplicable connection between the swords.
Bai Ye frowned. “Sword array?”
Situ Chicheng sneered, “You have some eyesight after all!”
Situ Chicheng extended his hand forward, and the surrounding illusory swords began to rotate.
“Heavenly Dipper Sword Array!” Situ Chicheng declared in a low voice, “Exorcise evil!”
The illusory swords suddenly connected into a line, like a sword dragon dancing in the air, encircling Bai Ye and Situ Chicheng within.
Bai Ye sensed danger, feeling a sharp and formidable aura. The dancing illusory swords made Bai Ye feel threatened.
“WarGreymon!” Bai Ye said decisively, “Gaia energy cannon, blast a path out!”
Roar!
WarGreymon roared to the sky, then raised its claws and began to gather energy.
