Chapter 88 Battle-Scarred Dragon Beast

*Snap!*

The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

WarGreymon immediately moved, charging towards Situ Chicheng. It then leaped, opening its massive jaws, and lunged at Situ Chicheng.

Situ Chicheng immediately changed his sword technique, chanting, "Myriad Swords Return as One!"

The surrounding illusionary swords flew towards Situ Chicheng and converged, forming a giant sword that sliced towards WarGreymon.

*Boom!*

WarGreymon was inches away from biting Situ Chicheng, but the giant sword descended at that very moment, striking WarGreymon and blasting it towards the ground.

With a thunderous roar, the ground exploded into a massive crater, riddled with countless cracks.

Situ Chicheng, standing on his flying sword, looked down at Bai Ye and said, "Indeed, this is our last meeting."

Though the words were the same, the meaning conveyed by Bai Ye and Situ Chicheng was entirely different.

Bai Ye grinned and then declared, "Mega Flame!"

WarGreymon, still on the ground and yet to rise, suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a torrent of flames, which shot towards the sky.

Situ Chicheng waved his hand sharply. The giant sword split back into countless illusionary swords, which then arranged themselves into circular formations and began to spin rapidly.

As the illusionary swords spun, the flames spat by WarGreymon seemed to hit a wall, bouncing off and scattering in all directions.

Situ Chicheng stated, "If this is all you've got, then prepare to die!"

As he spoke, Situ Chicheng casually gestured towards Bai Ye, and an illusionary sword descended, thrusting directly towards Bai Ye.

Just as the illusionary sword was about to pierce Bai Ye's throat, Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand and caught the flying sword.

*Clang!*

Bai Ye casually tossed the illusionary sword aside and said, "Want to see something amazing? I'll show you!"

Bai Ye looked at WarGreymon, waiting for it to get up, and then...

"WarGreymon, Mega Evolution!" Bai Ye shouted, "WarGreymon!"

*Roar!*

Responding to Bai Ye's command, WarGreymon lifted its head and roared fiercely.

In the next instant, a black aura circle appeared around WarGreymon, filled with dense green program code. Then, a white light enveloped WarGreymon's body, and its form began to change.

WarGreymon, a Mega level Digimon.

After evolving to the Mega level, WarGreymon's form was completely transformed. It changed from a dragon-like form to a more humanoid one. Its head remained draconic, covered in metal plating, but its body became humanoid, clad in metal plates. Its legs grew larger and its claws extended. Its arms no longer bent but were straight like a human's, equipped with twin mechanical claw weapons. It looked like a dragon warrior clad in full metal armor.

Its strength and speed had significantly increased.

At the same time, Bai Ye glanced at the holographic screen before him and saw that WarGreymon's abilities had also expanded, no longer limited to just Mega Flame.

In the next moment, WarGreymon stepped out of the black aura circle.

Bai Ye immediately waved his hand and issued his command: "WarGreymon, Gaia Force!"

Gaia Force: Concentrates energy from the atmosphere into a single point, then unleashes a highly dense, high-temperature energy projectile.

*Roar!*

Upon receiving the order, WarGreymon clasped its hands together at its chest. Soon, golden rings of light appeared in its palms, rapidly condensing into a blazing crimson energy sphere, which was then hurled with great force towards Situ Chicheng.

Situ Chicheng remained unmoving, a strategy of meeting force with stillness. He watched the energy sphere fly towards him, still intending to block it with his illusionary swords.

But...

This time, it wouldn't be so easy!

*Boom!*

The energy sphere struck the illusionary swords, then exploded with a deafening roar.

Violent energy waves rippled outwards, setting the sky ablaze. The gathered illusionary swords were instantly blasted away, scattered in all directions. Some embedded themselves in the surrounding walls, while others fell to the ground.

For the first time, a flicker of change appeared on Situ Chicheng's cold face as he looked in astonishment at the illusionary swords flying past him.

His sword formation had been broken?

And not just broken, but forcefully 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 the instant he received Bai Ye's command, WarGreymon twisted its ankles and began to spin rapidly. Dust swirled from the ground, and gusts of wind converged around WarGreymon, forming a vortex.

With a *bang*, WarGreymon leaped forward, charging towards Situ Chicheng.

Situ Chicheng snapped out of his surprise and quickly formed another sword seal: "Myriad Swords Return as One!"

The scattered illusionary swords were drawn back, flying towards Situ Chicheng once more, merging into the form of a giant sword.

Situ Chicheng pointed forward and commanded, "Break!"

The giant sword flew forward and collided with the tornado generated by WarGreymon.

*Clink, clink!*

The giant sword and the tornado clashed, and a piercing sound of metal grinding against metal echoed continuously.

Situ Chicheng's expression grew increasingly contorted, his right hand, gripping the sword seal, trembling violently, clearly under immense pressure.

Then...

After a stalemate of nearly half a minute, a deafening explosion rent the air. The giant sword shattered, reverting back into countless small swords.

However, as the wind dissipated, WarGreymon was also blasted downwards from the sky.

With a *thud*, WarGreymon crashed to the ground, carving out a deep pit.

Situ Chicheng, still in the air, formed another sword seal: "Shu Mountain Myriad Swords Art!"

The illusionary swords that had been scattered by the impact swiftly flew back, condensing before Situ Chicheng, poised to strike. The clear intention was to finish off WarGreymon before it could rise.

Bai Ye decisively commanded: "Shield of Courage!"

From WarGreymon's back, a metal plate extended and was ejected, grasped by WarGreymon – it was a metal shield.

*Clang, clang, clang...*

The illusionary swords rained down, striking the shield repeatedly, their impact creating clear, resonant sounds.

Once the falling illusionary swords dispersed, Bai Ye immediately waved his hand again: "Gaia Force!"

WarGreymon roared and raised one hand, quickly condensing another energy sphere. Seizing the opportunity before Situ Chicheng's illusionary swords could reform, it launched a swift counterattack.
