Cao Mingjin sank his body and looked in the direction of the golden sword energy.
"Lan Bu!"
Cao Mingjin stomped on the ground and shot forward, not retreating, but instead charging at the golden sword energy!
The moment the golden sword energy was about to strike, Cao Mingjin's figure flickered. He moved half a step sideways, dodging the golden sword energy, and closed in on Bai Ye.
Bai Ye lowered his sword and looked at Cao Mingjin.
A very wise choice!
The Xuanyuan Sword was very powerful!
But it was only the Xuanyuan Sword that was powerful, not Bai Ye himself.
Cao Mingjin wasn't without hope of winning. As long as he dodged the Xuanyuan Sword's attack and then attacked Bai Ye, he could win.
"That's what you're thinking, right?"
Bai Ye slowly grinned, watching Cao Mingjin leap in front of him. As his palms crossed, a vast amount of wind appeared, entangling Cao Mingjin's arms.
Bai Ye suddenly stomped on the ground!
With a boom!
A large amount of flames erupted, engulfing Bai Ye's body and forming a pillar of fire.
Cao Mingjin's fists shot forward, and the constantly swirling wind formed sharp blades, slicing through the flames surrounding Bai Ye.
But…
"Yan Bao!"
The moment the flames dispersed, Bai Ye decisively detonated the scattered flames.
The roar of the explosion sounded, and layers of shockwaves pushed outward, shattering the wind currents stirred up by Cao Mingjin.
Cao Mingjin felt a significant impact surge towards him. His body tumbled in the air before landing back on the ground.
On the other side, Bai Ye emerged from the flames and said to Cao Mingjin, "You don't really think I have no other skills besides this sword, do you?"
Bai Ye said this as he raised the Xuanyuan Sword.
He was really underestimated.
Bai Ye swung the Xuanyuan Sword forward again, and a sword cry suddenly rang out.
Golden sword energy reappeared, heading towards Cao Mingjin.
Cao Mingjin didn't dare to be careless and quickly retreated backward.
To Cao Mingjin, the power of the golden sword energy was terrifying, so terrifying that Cao Mingjin dared not meet it head-on.
One, two, three?
Cao Mingjin wasn't sure how many golden sword energies he could withstand if he met them directly, but it wouldn't be many.
However, for Cao Mingjin, there was good news: the attack speed of the golden sword energy wasn't very fast. With the explosive instant acceleration of Lan Bu, Cao Mingjin was confident he could evade the golden sword energy.
As Cao Mingjin thought this, wind currents appeared at his feet again.
Lan Bu activated!
Cao Mingjin chose his moment and leaped sideways, but…
The next instant…
The moment Cao Mingjin looked up, he was astonished to find that Bai Ye had appeared right in front of him.
Explosive instant acceleration?
What Bai Ye used was…
Teleportation!
This time, the moment Bai Ye unleashed the golden sword energy, he didn't stay in his original position but immediately used teleportation.
The space Cao Mingjin could evade into was either the sides of the golden sword energy or above it.
A one-third probability!
Bai Ye had bet correctly!
His hand rose and fell with the sword!
Seeing Cao Mingjin charging towards him, Bai Ye unhesitatingly swung his sword down.
Cao Mingjin's heart leaped in shock.
At the critical moment, Cao Mingjin suddenly crossed his hands and met the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Hm?"
Strangely, Cao Mingjin's hands didn't touch the Xuanyuan Sword. His crossed hands were positioned on either side of the Xuanyuan Sword, with empty space in between.
However, Bai Ye felt as if he had struck something. The Xuanyuan Sword was intercepted.
Moreover, Cao Mingjin's face was contorted, clearly resisting with all his might.
Bai Ye thought this as he lightly dragged the Xuanyuan Sword. A piercing sound rang out, and Bai Ye realized that Cao Mingjin's hands were wearing rings, connected by nearly transparent silk threads.
Bai Ye grinned and suddenly pulled back, using a cutting motion to slice through the thin threads.
Almost instantly, the threads snapped. They grazed Cao Mingjin's arms and neck, leaving behind lines of crimson blood.
Cao Mingjin retreated, wiping his neck.
Looking at the crimson color in his palm, Cao Mingjin couldn't help but curse under his breath before quickly retreating…
Because Bai Ye's Xuanyuan Sword was coming again!
Bai Ye gave Cao Mingjin no chance to breathe. He flicked his wrist, and the Xuanyuan Sword twirled into a sword flower before thrusting forward again.
As Cao Mingjin retreated, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing a silver mechanical bracer.
He brought the mechanical bracer in front of him. A mechanical whirring sound ensued, and metal plates sprang out from around the bracer, quickly forming a diamond-shaped metal shield.
Clang!
The Xuanyuan Sword descended, and a crisp clang echoed.
The sharpness of the Xuanyuan Sword was unimaginable. The sword strike directly cut a groove into the diamond-shaped shield.
However, it had been blocked after all!
Cao Mingjin quickly moved past, and from his other sleeve, a wrist blade shot out unexpectedly, then lunged towards Bai Ye's abdomen.
But, just as it was about to hit…
Teleportation!
Bai Ye's figure suddenly vanished and reappeared behind Cao Mingjin, swinging the Xuanyuan Sword again.
Cao Mingjin's reaction was remarkably fast. He quickly turned around and blocked the wrist blade in front of him.
Clang!
The crisp clang sounded again.
But the moment Cao Mingjin blocked the wrist blade, Bai Ye swept his leg horizontally, kicking Cao Mingjin in the waist.
Flames blazed fiercely, wrapping around Bai Ye's leg, and the instant it connected with Cao Mingjin…
Yan Bao!
The flames wrapped around Bai Ye's leg detonated.
A huge fireball exploded, and shockwaves blasted outwards. Cao Mingjin was instantly sent flying, crashing into the wall on the side.
Then…
Golden sword energy!
Bai Ye raised his hand and swung forcefully.
Golden sword energy shot forward again.
Where the sword energy passed, the ground continuously cracked open.
Cao Mingjin had only just begun to catch his breath when the golden sword energy arrived.
Cao Mingjin could only bring his wrist shield in front of him and roar, "Defense Field!"
Around the diamond-shaped shield, a nearly transparent barrier appeared, increasing the defensive range and strengthening the defense.
But…
The moment the golden sword energy struck the shield, Cao Mingjin still felt immense pressure.
The tremendous force made Cao Mingjin's arm tremble, and the wrist shield vibrated and made noise, then…
Crack!
A sound like shattering glass rang out.
The barrier surrounding the wrist shield shattered, and then, the wrist shield itself was torn to pieces.
The golden sword energy exploded, and the wall behind Cao Mingjin collapsed, falling outward. Cao Mingjin was also blown from inside the room into the passage outside.
