Situ Chicheng's Heavenly Gang Sword Array made Bai Ye feel a hint of danger.
What did that sense of danger feel like?
Bai Ye didn't know, it was more of an instinct, a sixth sense.
So, after WarGreymon finished charging the energy ball, he threw it towards the outer edge of the sword array, and then…
Boom!
A violent sound erupted.
Terrifying energy fluctuations once again spread in all directions, blowing away the rows of neatly arranged illusionary swords.
But…
Just as WarGreymon attacked, the surrounding illusionary swords began to move on their own.
The rows of illusionary swords interlocked, moving rapidly like walls, and then…
The energy fluctuation of the Gaia Force was blocked!
As the energy ball shattered, golden energy waves continuously pushed outwards, forming ripples. However, upon colliding with the surrounding illusionary swords, these golden ripples were blocked as if hitting a wall.
Bai Ye said gravely, "Explode!"
WarGreymon roared immediately, and then high-temperature energy began to detonate. Huge fireballs continuously burst, obscuring the entire sky.
But the imagined scene of illusionary swords flying everywhere did not appear!
On the contrary…
A sword dragon broke through the flames and descended from the sky towards Bai Ye!
The Heavenly Gang Sword Array not only completely blocked the Gaia Force but also split into hundreds of swords, launching a continuous attack.
Seeing this, WarGreymon immediately shielded Bai Ye loyally and leaped into the sky with the Shield of Courage.
Clang, clang, clang…
Illusionary swords struck the Shield of Courage, emitting crisp clanging sounds. But…
What about the areas not covered by the shield?
As the illusionary swords grazed past, WarGreymon's body was continuously slashed, and blood splattered everywhere.
After barely blocking a round of attacks from the Heavenly Gang Sword Array, WarGreymon was covered in bloody wounds.
At this moment, Situ Chicheng attacked again, saying, "Heavenly Gang Sword Array, Qu Xie!"
The surrounding illusionary swords gathered again, intending to launch a second round of attacks.
Bai Ye's gaze deepened, and he also formed a sword seal, saying, "Ning Shuang, Sword Illusions of Frost!"
The Ning Shuang Sword flew into the air, quickly transforming into frost that scattered outwards. In the blink of an eye, as large patches of frost covered the sky, the flying illusionary swords were gradually covered by the frost, and their speed began to slow down.
The next instant, Bai Ye charged towards Situ Chicheng.
The frost from the Ning Shuang Sword could only delay the attack, not block it, so Bai Ye had to seize the opening in the opponent's attack!
He swiftly arrived in front of Situ Chicheng, leaped up, and slapped towards him.
Situ Chicheng was also in a bad state, having severed one arm. Although he had stopped the bleeding, it was only superficial. The intense pain made his face pale and devoid of color.
However, seeing Bai Ye leap up, Situ Chicheng endured, flicked his right arm, and a Taoist talisman flew out from his sleeve!
The Taoist talismans used by Situ Chicheng were clearly different from Bai Ye's. Bai Ye used ordinary talismans, while Situ Chicheng's were purplish-gold and strung together with threads.
"Concentrate your spirit and return to your origin!" Situ Chicheng grunted, "Qi Sword Finger!"
As Situ Chicheng pointed forward, the string of purplish-gold talismans directly transformed into strands of purplish-gold sword energy, shooting forward.
Bai Ye's heart leaped, and he quickly conjured two talismans.
"Earth Curse!"
Boom, boom!
Two earth walls suddenly rose, blocking in front of Bai Ye for defense, but…
It was useless!
Each strand of sword energy easily pulverized the earth walls and zipped past Bai Ye.
Puff, puff, puff…
Bai Ye's body was continuously slashed. The pain made his expression contort, and in front of him, more sword energy condensed. Without the obstruction of the earth walls, they aimed directly at Bai Ye's body, but at this moment…
With a bang!
WarGreymon suddenly descended from the sky, blocking in front of Bai Ye and spreading its arms.
Puff, puff, puff…
The remaining sword energy all pierced into WarGreymon's body. In the blink of an eye, WarGreymon was covered in dense blood holes, and then…
Thud!
WarGreymon fell backward, crashing in front of Bai Ye.
At that moment, Bai Ye and WarGreymon's eyes met.
I did my best!
WarGreymon had given its all.
"You are strong!" Situ Chicheng gritted his teeth and drew more than a dozen talismans from his sleeve. "But I am still the one who lives."
As Situ Chicheng spoke, he formed a hand seal, intending to transform those dozen talismans into sword energy again. Behind Bai Ye, without WarGreymon as a shield, countless illusionary swords also struck directly at Bai Ye.
But, at this moment…
Bai Ye suddenly looked up at Situ Chicheng.
"No!" Bai Ye said seriously, "You are already a dead man!"
Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff…
Situ Chicheng was about to mock Bai Ye's boastfulness when, at this moment, the talismans strung by threads suddenly became taut, like blades, and pierced towards Situ Chicheng's throat. In the blink of an eye, they filled Situ Chicheng's throat, forming a circle around his neck.
Situ Chicheng's eyes widened, and he never understood what was happening until his death, nor did he have the chance to.
Bang!
Situ Chicheng's body fell backward. The surrounding dense illusionary swords, due to Situ Chicheng's death, began to gradually become transparent until they completely disappeared.
"You have killed a participant (xianxia world)."
"You have obtained three fragments of God Stones."
Bai Ye panted and got up from the ground, looking at Situ Chicheng's corpse and saying, "Next life, remember, villains die from talking too much."
If Situ Chicheng hadn't spoken so much and had directly burned the talismans, Bai Ye would have been helpless. Because once the talismans were burned, they were in the process of transforming into sword energy, no longer paper. The Paper God's ability would not activate. Therefore, the first time Situ Chicheng drew out the talismans, Bai Ye could do nothing.
But the second time Situ Chicheng drew out the talismans, he had to say that sentence, giving Bai Ye the opportunity to activate the Paper God's ability…
Since Situ Chicheng gave him an opportunity, Bai Ye naturally wouldn't be polite!
So…
Bai Ye stood on the ruins, looking at the corpses around him, and couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems…" Bai Ye grinned, "I won!"
…
