Cao Mingjin sank his body, looking in the direction of the golden sword aura.
"Lan Bu!"
Cao Mingjin stomped heavily on the ground and then darted forward, showing no intention of retreating, but instead facing the golden sword aura head-on!
The instant the golden sword aura was about to strike, Cao Mingjin's figure flickered, and he suddenly shifted half a step to the side, evading the golden sword aura and charging directly at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye lowered his sword and looked at Cao Mingjin.
A very wise choice!
The Xuanyuan Sword is powerful!
But it is only the Xuanyuan Sword that is powerful, not Bai Ye himself.
Cao Mingjin was not without a chance to win; as long as he could evade the Xuanyuan Sword's attacks and then strike at Bai Ye.
"That's what you're thinking, isn't it?"
Bai Ye slowly grinned, watching Cao Mingjin leap in front of him. As his palms crossed, a large stream of wind appeared, entwining Cao Mingjin's arms.
Bai Ye suddenly raised his foot and stomped on the ground!
With a roar!
A large expanse of flames surged, enveloping Bai Ye's body and forming a pillar of fire.
Cao Mingjin's fists boomed forward, the constantly rotating streams of wind forming sharp blades that sliced 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 outwards in all directions, shattering the streams of wind stirred up by Cao Mingjin.
Cao Mingjin felt a distinct impact rushing towards him, and his body tumbled in the air before landing back on the ground.
On the other side, Bai Ye emerged from the flames and looked at Cao Mingjin, saying, "You didn't think I had no other skills besides this sword, did you?"
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised the Xuanyuan Sword.
He was truly underestimated!
Bai Ye swung the Xuanyuan Sword forward again, and the sound of the sword's hum erupted.
Golden sword aura reappeared, heading towards Cao Mingjin.
Cao Mingjin dared not be negligent and quickly retreated backward.
To Cao Mingjin, the power of the golden sword aura was terrifying, so terrifying that Cao Mingjin absolutely dared not take it head-on.
One, two, three?
Cao Mingjin was unsure how many golden sword auras he could withstand if he took them head-on, but it wouldn't be many.
However, for Cao Mingjin, there was good news: the cutting speed of the golden sword aura was not particularly fast. With the explosive instant acceleration of Lan Bu, Cao Mingjin was confident he could evade the golden sword aura.
As Cao Mingjin thought this, streams of wind appeared at his feet again.
Lan Bu activated!
Cao Mingjin seized the opportunity and leaped to the side, but…
The next instant…
The moment Cao Mingjin looked up, he was shocked to discover that Bai Ye had appeared right in front of him.
Explosive instant acceleration?
Bai Ye was using…
Teleportation!
This time, the moment Bai Ye unleashed the golden sword aura, he did not remain in his original position but immediately used teleportation.
The space Cao Mingjin could dodge into was either the sides of the golden sword aura, or above it.
One-third probability!
Bai Ye had bet correctly!
Hand raised, sword lowered!
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.
"Hmm?"
Strangely, Cao Mingjin's hands did not touch the Xuanyuan Sword. His crossed hands were on either side of the Xuanyuan Sword, with emptiness in between.
However, Bai Ye felt as if he had struck something, and the Xuanyuan Sword was intercepted.
Moreover, Cao Mingjin's face was contorted with strain, clearly resisting with all his might.
As Bai Ye pondered, he gently scraped the Xuanyuan Sword, and a piercing sound rang out. Bai Ye then noticed that Cao Mingjin's hands were adorned with rings, and between these rings were nearly transparent threads.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin, and with a sudden pull backward, he used a cutting motion to slice through the thin threads.
Almost instantly, the threads snapped, and after grazing Cao Mingjin's arms and neck, they left behind streaks 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, then quickly retreated…
Because Bai Ye's Xuanyuan Sword was coming at him again!
Bai Ye gave Cao Mingjin no chance to catch his breath. He flicked his wrist, and after the Xuanyuan Sword twirled like a flower, it thrust forward again.
As Cao Mingjin retreated, he lifted his sleeve, revealing a silver mechanical wrist gauntlet.
He placed the mechanical wrist gauntlet in front of him. Then, a whirring sound of mechanics echoed as metal plates extended from around the gauntlet, quickly forming a diamond-shaped metal shield.
Clang!
The Xuanyuan Sword descended, and a crisp clash of metal erupted.
The sharpness of the Xuanyuan Sword was unimaginable. With that single strike, a gash was directly cut into the diamond-shaped shield.
However, it had managed to block it!
Cao Mingjin quickly moved past, and from his other sleeve, a wrist blade shot out unexpectedly, then lunged towards Bai Ye's abdomen.
But, at the moment of impact…
Teleportation!
Bai Ye's figure suddenly vanished and then reappeared behind Cao Mingjin, his Xuanyuan Sword striking again.
Cao Mingjin's reaction was swift; he quickly turned his body and blocked with the wrist blade.
Clang!
A crisp metallic ring sounded again.
But the instant Cao Mingjin blocked the wrist blade, Bai Ye swept his leg horizontally, striking Cao Mingjin's waist.
Flames roared to life, wrapping around Bai Ye's lower leg, and the moment they hit Cao Mingjin…
Yan Bao!
The flames wrapped around Bai Ye's leg exploded with a bang.
A massive fireball burst forth, and the shockwave rippled outwards. Cao Mingjin was instantly sent flying, crashing into the wall beside him.
And then…
Golden sword aura!
Bai Ye raised his hand and swung forcefully.
The golden sword aura shot forward again.
Where the sword aura passed, the ground continuously cracked open.
Cao Mingjin had just caught his breath when the golden sword aura reached him.
Cao Mingjin could only bring his wrist shield forward and roar, "Defense Field!"
A nearly transparent barrier appeared around the diamond-shaped shield, increasing its defensive coverage and also strengthening its defense.
But…
The moment the golden sword aura struck the shield, Cao Mingjin still felt immense pressure.
The immense force made Cao Mingjin's arm tremble, and the wrist shield also shook with a clanging sound, and then…
Crack!
A sound like shattering glass echoed.
The barrier surrounding the wrist shield shattered, and immediately after, the wrist shield itself was torn apart.
The golden sword aura exploded, causing the wall behind Cao Mingjin to collapse outwards. Cao Mingjin was then blown from inside the room into the passage outside.
