Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
A dense series of whooshing sounds echoed through the arena as golden sword energies surged forth like a raging torrent, hurtling towards Wenren Bingying.
"Let's see how you counter this!"
Ye Chen sneered. These sword energies were under his control and could relentlessly pursue and attack like maggots clinging to bones. No matter how good Wenren Bingying's movement technique was, it was impossible for her to dodge all the sword energies' attacks.
Wenren Bingying also felt the power of this move and dared not underestimate it in the slightest. As she retreated, she swung her sword to block the sword energy attack. There were clanging sounds of metal colliding, and within a few breaths, twenty or thirty sword energies were shattered by Wenren Bingying.
However, this did not resolve Wenren Bingying's crisis, as hundreds of sword energies continued to shoot down upon her.
Upon seeing this, Wenren Bingying's eyes flashed with a cold glint. She suddenly made an arc-shaped movement and darted towards Ye Chen's position.
Do you think you can get rid of it this way?
Ye Chen chuckled, and then saw the dense, golden sword energy rapidly change direction in mid-air, before once again drawing out a dense array of golden sword shadows, whistling as it shot towards Wenren Bingying.
Wenren Bingying's lips curled up slightly. After rushing forward for a distance, she suddenly stopped and flipped over, soaring upside down high behind her.
"idiot."
Ye Chen seemed to have not expected Wenren Bingying to do this. He was stunned for a moment before coldly controlling his sword energy to soar into the air and shoot towards Wenren Bingying in mid-air.
This scene made everyone in the spectator area hold their breath for Wenren Bingying. These sword energies were already agile and swift, making them difficult to dodge, but Wenren Bingying was still flying into the air in an upside-down position, cutting off her own escape space. Wasn't she just making herself a live target for the sword energies?
Wenren Bingying had nowhere to hide at this moment, but she never thought of dodging. As she spun to the highest point, her body almost vertically upside down, an extremely cold spiritual power suddenly surged out from the Ice Soul Sword.
"Ultimate Ice-Sealing Slash!"
A cold shout came from the air. Wenren Bingying suddenly swung her sword. The icy blade, which was gathering a huge amount of cold spiritual power, flashed and drew a crescent-shaped, pale white sword light as it slashed down.
Huff!
As the sword was unleashed, the Ice Soul Sword suddenly shone brightly with white light. The boundless and abundant icy spiritual power transformed into a dazzling ice-colored sword light several meters long, stirring up a violent icy storm like a celestial gale, sweeping across the ground like a laser cannon.
Wherever it passed, the golden sword energy instantly froze and shattered. On the arena floor where the sword light swept, a cluster of ice cones, each ten feet high, rose from the ground and extended outwards from the sword mark. As the sword light swept across, it resembled a roaring ice dragon, rapidly freezing towards Ye Chen.
"not good!"
Ye Chen was secretly shocked by the power of this sword. He quickly used his movement technique to the extreme and barely dodged the icy sword light. The icy sword light continued forward until it cut out an ice wall that split half of the arena in two before it came to an abrupt stop.
A biting wind howled in, like tiny ice blades cutting Ye Chen's skin painfully. He turned to look at Wenren Bingying, who had fallen back to the ground, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes. His move was a top-level Xuan-rank spiritual technique, but Wenren Bingying had broken it with a single sword strike. It seemed that this woman's strength was even greater than he had anticipated.
"Junior Sister Bingying has actually mastered the ultimate Ice Seal Slash?"
"As expected of a genius who can be listed on the Death Monument, she has mastered a top-level Xuan-rank spiritual skill with such cultivation. Junior Sister Bingying's talent is truly extraordinary!"
"Could the spiritual technique Ye Chen just used also be a top-tier Xuan-level technique? It actually forced Junior Sister Bingying to use this move to break it."
"Judging from his power, he is probably not far from being at the top level of the Xuan rank. Ye Chen's talent is truly terrifying. Not only did he reach the Spirit King realm in just five years, but he also possesses such formidable combat strength. If Wenren Bingying's cultivation level were not two ranks higher, she would probably not be a match for Ye Chen at all."
"Although Wenren Bingying is only at the third level of the Spirit King realm, her combat strength is comparable to that of a typical fifth-level Spirit King. Ye Chen, on the other hand, is only at the first level of the Spirit King realm, yet he can fight Wenren Bingying to a standstill. He is truly incredibly strong."
The exchange between the two drew gasps from the spectators, especially Ye Chen's strength, which shocked the older generation of experts, who thought to themselves that this young man was destined for greatness.
An Yuxi's eyes showed a hint of worry, and she sighed softly, "Bingying's cultivation has improved too quickly, but her combat strength has not kept up. I don't know if her fifth-level combat strength can defeat Ye Chen."
Chi Yuan remained silent, feeling somewhat worried as well, but there was nothing he could do to help Wenren Bingying at the moment, so he could only choose to trust her.
"Huff... huff..."
On the arena, Wenren Bingying was breathing heavily. Although her sword strike had broken Ye Chen's move, it had also greatly depleted her own spiritual power, leaving her with more than half of it.
In contrast, Ye Chen, although his breathing was also somewhat disordered, was in much better condition, which showed how profound his spiritual power was.
"We cannot fight a protracted war with him."
Wenren Bingying knew that Ye Chen's spiritual power was much deeper than hers. If they were to get into a protracted battle, she would definitely lose. If she wanted to win against Ye Chen, her only option was to fight an extreme, explosive battle!
With this thought in mind, a ruthless glint flashed in Wenren Bingying's eyes. She decisively activated the recovery pills she had taken in advance, and a vast amount of spiritual power surged out, quickly replenishing the deficiency of spiritual power in her dantian.
At the same time, Wenren Bingying quietly unleashed a secret technique she had comprehended in the Abyss of Death, a technique that allowed her to temporarily boost her cultivation by overdrawing her life force.
In an instant, her aura surged, and in the blink of an eye, her combat power had reached the sixth level of the Spirit King realm.
"Ice Jacaranda!"
Sensing that Wenren Bingying's life force was slowly waning, An Yuxi covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise. She never expected that Wenren Bingying would increase her combat power by overdrawing her life force. No wonder Wenren Bingying's life force was quite weak when she first came out of the Abyss of Death. It seems that she also used a similar secret technique.
But why should the icicle do this? Overdrawing its vitality can cause irreversible damage, and if it overdraws too much, it could be life-threatening!
Chi Yuan was also moved by this, and for the first time, a trace of heartache appeared in his eyes as he looked at Wenren Bingying on the arena.
"You crazy woman, you're squandering your life force! Don't you value your life?"
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically. He could still handle the fifth-level Spirit King combat power, and with his profound spiritual power, he was not unable to outlast Wenren Bingying. However, the sixth-level Spirit King combat power was far inferior, and even he could not withstand it at all.
"What use is my life if I cannot defeat you?!"
Wenren Bingying's voice was filled with a resolute determination to risk her life. As soon as she spoke, she charged towards Ye Chen at a speed far exceeding her previous speed.
Seeing this, Ye Chen gritted his teeth, a look of madness flashing in his eyes: "Do you think you're the only one who knows this kind of secret technique?"
"Blood Burning Technique!"
