*Pop!*
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.
WarGreymon immediately sprang into action, charging towards Situ Chicheng. With a mighty leap, it opened its gaping maw and lunged to bite Situ Chicheng.
Situ Chicheng swiftly changed his sword seals, exclaiming, "Myriad Swords Return as One!"
The surrounding phantom swords flew towards Situ Chicheng, converging and forming a colossal sword that then cleaved down towards WarGreymon.
*BOOM!*
WarGreymon narrowly avoided being bitten by Situ Chicheng, but at the same instant, the colossal sword descended, blasting WarGreymon into the ground.
With a thunderous impact, the earth shattered, forming a vast crater, and countless cracks snaked across the surface.
Stepping on his flying sword, Situ Chicheng looked down at Bai Ye and said, "Indeed, this is our last meeting."
Though the words were the same, their meaning was entirely different when spoken by Bai Ye and Situ Chicheng.
Bai Ye grinned and then declared, "Super Flame!"
WarGreymon, still on the ground and not yet recovered, suddenly opened its mouth and spewed a torrent of flames upwards.
Situ Chicheng waved his hand, and the colossal sword split apart into countless phantom swords, which then arranged themselves into rotating circles, spinning at high speed.
As the phantom swords whirled, the flames spewed by WarGreymon seemed to hit a wall, bouncing back and scattering in all directions.
Situ Chicheng sneered, "If that's all you've got, then prepare to die!"
As he spoke, Situ Chicheng casually swept his hand towards Bai Ye, and a phantom sword shot forward, directly towards Bai Ye's throat.
Just as the phantom sword was about to pierce Bai Ye's throat, Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand and caught the flying blade.
*Clang!*
Bai Ye casually tossed the phantom sword aside and said, "Want to see something powerful? I'll show you!"
Bai Ye looked at WarGreymon, waiting for it to rise, and then…
"WarGreymon, Ultimate Evolution!" Bai Ye roared. "WarGreymon!"
*ROAR!*
Responding to Bai Ye's command, WarGreymon let out a furious roar.
In the next instant, black rings appeared around WarGreymon, filled with dense green program code. Then, a white light enveloped WarGreymon's body, and its form began to change.
WarGreymon, an Ultimate-level Digimon.
Upon evolving to its Ultimate form, WarGreymon's appearance was completely transformed. From a dragon-like creature, it became a humanoid form. Its head remained draconic, encased in metallic plating, but its body was now clad in metal plates. Its legs grew larger, its claws extended, and its arms straightened like a human's, equipped with twin mechanical claws for weapons, resembling a dragon warrior in full metal armor.
Its strength and speed had clearly increased.
Simultaneously, Bai Ye looked at the light screen before him, noting that WarGreymon's skills had also increased, no longer limited to just Super Flame.
The next moment, WarGreymon stepped out of the black rings.
Bai Ye immediately waved his hand, issuing his command: "WarGreymon, Gaia Force!"
Gaia Force: Concentrates energy from the atmosphere onto a single point, then releases a highly dense, high-temperature energy projectile.
*ROAR!*
Upon receiving the command, WarGreymon brought its hands together before its chest. Soon, golden rings of light appeared in its palms, rapidly coalescing into a burning, crimson energy sphere, which it then hurled with great force towards Situ Chicheng.
Situ Chicheng remained still, facing the onslaught, and watched the energy sphere approach, intending to block it with his phantom swords.
But…
This time, it wouldn't be so easy!
*BOOM!*
The energy sphere struck the phantom swords, exploding with a deafening roar.
Violent energy waves rippled outwards, igniting the sky in flames. The gathered phantom swords were instantly blown apart, scattering in all directions, some embedding themselves in the surrounding walls, others falling to the ground.
For the first time, a flicker of surprise crossed Situ Chicheng's usually indifferent face as he watched his phantom swords fly past him.
His sword formation had been broken?
And not just broken, but forcibly shattered?
At this moment, Bai Ye's voice rang out again: "Great Tornado!"
Great Tornado: WarGreymon spins its body at high speed, forming a tornado for a piercing attack.
Almost instantly after Bai Ye's command, WarGreymon twisted its ankles and began to spin rapidly. Dust kicked up from the ground as powerful gusts of wind converged around WarGreymon, forming a whirlwind.
With a *bang*, WarGreymon leaped into the air, charging towards Situ Chicheng.
Situ Chicheng snapped out of his astonishment and quickly formed new sword seals: "Myriad Swords Return as One!"
The scattered phantom swords were drawn back, flying towards Situ Chicheng once more, merging to form the colossal sword.
Situ Chicheng pointed forward and commanded, "Break!"
The colossal sword shot forward, colliding with the tornado generated by WarGreymon.
*Clank, clank!*
The colossal sword and the tornado clashed, emitting harsh metallic grinding sounds.
Situ Chicheng's expression grew increasingly contorted, his right hand trembling as he maintained the sword seals, clearly under immense pressure.
Then…
After a stalemate of about half a minute, a deafening explosion erupted, and the colossal sword shattered, reverting back into countless small swords.
However, as the wind subsided, WarGreymon was also blasted down from the air.
With a *thud*, WarGreymon crashed to the ground, carving a deep crater.
In mid-air, Situ Chicheng formed sword seals again: "Shu Mountain Myriad Swords Art!"
The phantom swords that had been blown away quickly flew back, converging before Situ Chicheng and beginning to descend, clearly intending to finish off WarGreymon before it could recover.
Bai Ye decisively commanded, "Courage Shield!"
A metal plate on WarGreymon's back deployed and shot out, which WarGreymon caught, revealing itself to be a metal shield.
*Clang, clang, clang…*
The phantom swords rained down, striking the shield repeatedly with crisp ringing sounds.
As soon as the falling phantom swords dispersed, Bai Ye immediately waved his hand again: "Gaia Force!"
WarGreymon roared, then raised one hand, rapidly condensing an energy sphere. Taking advantage of Situ Chicheng's dispersed phantom swords, it launched a swift counterattack.
