“Suicidal!”
Lan Xi flicked his hand forward, throwing the flying sword in his grasp, and then rapidly formed sword incantations. The flying sword transformed into a stream of sword light and shot forward.
“Sword control?” Bai Ye chuckled, “I can do that too!”
Bai Ye spread his palm, and the Steel Slime quickly solidified into the shape of the Frost Sword, then flew forward.
The next moment…
Two streams of sword light, one black and one silver, collided in mid-air with crisp clanking sounds.
Bai Ye didn't stop. While rapidly moving to the side, he quickly produced a talisman.
“Thunder Flash!”
The talisman held between Bai Ye’s fingertips burned rapidly. Then, Bai Ye waved his hand forward, and the burning talisman transformed into a bolt of heavenly thunder, striking down towards Lan Xi.
“Starfall Style!”
Lan Xi swiftly altered his sword techniques, then pointed a fingertip towards the sky.
The flying sword instantly soared upwards, its sword light like a shooting star, crashing fiercely against the descending thunder.
BOOM!
Sword light shattered the air!
The thunder broke apart, countless arcs of electricity raining down like a shower.
However, as the collision occurred in the sky, Bai Ye was not idle either.
Teleportation!
Bai Ye didn’t even look at the result of the Thunder Flash colliding with the sword light. Instead, he immediately locked onto his target and teleported instantly to Lan Xi’s front.
Combat must never cease!
The Shadow Battle Axe appeared in Bai Ye’s hand, and he slashed downwards.
A streak of purplish-black light emerged, charging towards Lan Xi.
However, one wouldn't reach this far and do well on the World Battlefield with only one flying sword, would they?
Lan Xi opened his hand, and a new flying sword appeared in his grasp.
The flying sword was entirely fiery, crafted from crimson crystals. The moment it was swung forward, large swathes of flames enveloped Bai Ye.
Bai Ye showed no intention of dodging. The Shadow Battle Axe clashed with the crystal sword, and then, facing the flames, he swept a kick at Lan Xi’s leg.
A tremendous force struck, and Lan Xi retreated backward repeatedly, stabbing his sword into the ground to stabilize himself.
“Sorry!” Bai Ye clenched his left fist and said, “Fire doesn’t work on me!”
As he spoke, Bai Ye’s fist blasted forward.
Bai Ye’s entire arm ignited, blazing flames transforming into a pillar of fire that struck directly towards Lan Xi’s face.
Lan Xi immediately stepped forward, gripping his sword with both hands and slashing forward.
The next instant, the pillar of fire split into two the moment it touched the crystal sword in Lan Xi’s hand.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. The opponent’s crystal sword seemed to possess the ability to control flames, not merely release fiery attacks.
In that case…
“Poison Dragon!”
Bai Ye immediately switched to the abilities of the Venom-Venom Fruit. Poisonous liquid began to overflow from his entire body, and he punched forward again.
The scattering poisonous liquid transformed into a poison dragon, heading towards Lan Xi.
Lan Xi forcefully swung his sword. Flames ignited, and then Lan Xi rapidly changed his sword techniques.
“Flame Sword!” Lan Xi let out a soft cry, “Po Jun Zhi Yan!”
Lan Xi swept his sword forward. The crimson crystal sword blazed once more, unleashing a ring of fire that cleaved apart the incoming poison dragon.
Then…
Lan Xi’s expression drastically changed!
The incoming poison dragon was cleaved apart by Lan Xi’s sword without question.
However, the scattered poisonous liquid landed on Lan Xi’s arm, and an intense stinging sensation instantly followed.
Lan Xi’s clothes instantly developed small holes, his skin corroded, and wisps of black smoke arose.
Lan Xi quickly retreated, rolled up his sleeve, and saw that his arm was already covered in ulcerated patches.
Lan Xi quickly took out a porcelain bottle, poured out powder from it, and sprinkled it on his arm.
But before the powder was finished, Bai Ye attacked again.
The Shadow Battle Axe was raised high by Bai Ye and slashed downwards.
Lan Xi dodged rapidly, but as he dodged, a chill ran through his heart. Because, at the moment of the attack, the poisonous liquid on Bai Ye’s body automatically splashed outwards.
“Tiangang Battle Qi!”
Seeing that the poisonous liquid was about to splash onto him again, Lan Xi immediately let out a low roar.
The next instant, a faint aura appeared around Lan Xi, as if he were wrapped in a flow of wind.
The moment the poisonous liquid landed, it actually stopped about three inches in front of Lan Xi, blocked by an invisible barrier.
“Huh?”
Bai Ye frowned, but his movements did not pause. He followed up with a knee strike, hitting Lan Xi’s ribs and forcing him back.
About four to five meters away, Lan Xi forcefully stabilized himself and spat out a mouthful of blood to the side.
Bai Ye had clearly suppressed Lan Xi, but…
Bai Ye looked at the Tiangang Battle Qi on Lan Xi’s body and couldn't help but frown. The faint barrier seemed unable to block physical attacks but could repel poisonous liquid.
This was definitely not good news for Bai Ye.
“People from the immortal hero world are indeed troublesome,” Bai Ye licked his lips and said, “It seems I must first break that so-called Tiangang Battle Qi.”
As Bai Ye spoke, he strode forward, holding several talismans in his hand!
“Warm Mist!”
“Thunder Flash!”
Bai Ye threw out a talisman.
The talisman burned, transforming into a large patch of mist that obscured the surroundings, hindering Lan Xi’s vision. Then, three talismans flew into the air simultaneously, transforming into heavenly thunder that struck from above.
Lan Xi dodged rapidly, leaping left and right, avoiding two descending bolts of thunder.
However, Bai Ye’s talismans were not thrown randomly. He predicted where Lan Xi would move and sealed off Lan Xi’s escape routes in a triangular formation.
Lan Xi could not avoid the third Thunder Flash.
“Ah!”
Lan Xi roared in anger, choosing to confront the lightning head-on.
The Tiangang Battle Qi on his body became more concentrated. The faint aura wrapped around Lan Xi’s body, and then he shot up into the sky, raising his sword to slash at the heavenly thunder.
With a loud boom!
The thunder exploded!
Lan Xi landed back on the ground.
That sword had cleaved the thunder. When Lan Xi landed, arcs of lightning rained down around him.
However, the Tiangang Battle Qi wrapped around Lan Xi had clearly dimmed as a result. Although it could defend against attacks other than physical ones, the Tiangang Battle Qi was being continuously consumed.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. Plan successful, first deplete the opponent’s Tiangang Battle Qi!
As Bai Ye thought this, the Shadow Battle Axe in his hand melted, and two Pulse Pistols appeared in his palms.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
Bai Ye unhesitatingly pulled the trigger towards Lan Xi’s direction. Then, with the sound of gunfire, pulse beams shot forward.
