Chapter 153 Predicament

  The bald man excitedly wielded his own weapon, and what surprised Ye Chen was that the opponent was actually using a long knife. Although Ye Chen had used a black knife before, it was out of desperation, and what he displayed was still sword energy.

  Could it be that this man is the same as himself? Ye Chen's first thought was that the other party also used a long knife as a sword, after all, this was Xing City on the outskirts of Jian Cheng, where most people took pride in learning swordsmanship, and few were not learning swordsmanship. Of course, it did not rule out the possibility of learning other skills, just like Mingyue's weapon was a black long whip.

  It seems to be verifying Ye Chen's idea, the bald man's long knife slashed out a crystal-like knife gas that swooped towards Ye Chen, with a strong momentum, and Ye Chen's black and white sword gas also flashed out.

  The blade aura and the sword aura collided, and the sharpness of the black and white sword auras was apparently beyond the bald man's expectation. The sword aura slashed through, and the crystal clear blade aura was actually scattered open, which made the bald man stunned on the spot, and then became even more excited.

  A good opponent not only promotes one's own progress, but also tests the recent efforts of oneself. The bald man excitedly looked at the black and white sword energy emitted by Ye Chen, and with a single slash of his long knife, he dispersed the black and white sword energy in an instant.

  The black and white sword energy was sharp, but facing the weapon in the bald man's hand, the sword energy was still not hard enough. The bald man said with a smile, "Not bad, worthy of my full strength." As he spoke, he tilted his long knife diagonally towards the ground.

  After the bald man finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly changed and became even more powerful, giving Ye Chen a feeling of facing a steep cliff. The kind of lofty height made Ye Chen feel a sense of looking up, and he quickly shook his head to shake off this feeling.

  Then, Ye Chen also released his own aura, a sharp and piercing aura that seemed to cut off all ties burst out from Ye Chen's body, and Ye Chen became sharp and intimidating at this moment.

  Two powerful forces collided, both emitting an overwhelming pressure that seemed invincible. Neither side gave in, and the intense heat in the bald man's eyes grew thicker. He had underestimated his opponent, but the stronger the opponent was, the better; otherwise, it would be too boring.

  "Cut off the horizon!" The bald-headed man let out a loud roar, and the long knife in his hand burst forth with dazzling light. The shadow of the knife seemed to break apart, exploding from the long knife, piece by piece, sometimes far, sometimes near, not very clear.

  Ye Chen remained unmoved, facing this attack. The combined seal of the Jiuyao Sword contained not only offense but also defense, making it the only one among the three moves of the Jiuyao Sword that had a defensive function. As soon as the move was made, nine black and white sword energies appeared around Ye Chen.

  Nine long swords combined together, forming an existence like a shield. A huge black and white long sword, like the protective sword energy, only more substantial than that protective sword energy, this giant sword formed by the nine yao swords is almost tangible!

  Ye Chen's figure was blurry in the sword aura, and the bald man snorted, "You think you can block my attack like this?" The bald man seemed to be very confident in his own attack. At this moment, a flurry of knife shadows suddenly appeared before Ye Chen, attacking him from both near and far.

  The sword cut through the horizon, not just forming a simple knife shadow, but cutting off the horizon, showing the power of this sword. Ye Chen truly felt an attack that was overwhelmingly strong, and those knife shadows seemed to have the power of a thousand tons, coming with a loud crash.

  Ye Chen felt as if he was being oppressed by the blue sky, as if space itself was being torn apart, and he stood at the point of that split, slowly being torn open. The sharpness of the black and white sword energy was not to be underestimated, also dispersing the knife shadows that were rushing towards him.

  A flash of sword light came, a wave of overwhelming force from the assassination spirit was transmitted to Ye Chen's body. Ye Chen's tiger mouth had long been shattered, but he still persisted. This kind of competition between two strong men did not require thousands of moves. Many times, one move could determine the outcome.

  If Ye Chen can't hold on this time, his series of games will come to an end. Ye Chen is also clear about it, but being clear is not enough, he must counterattack. However, the knife shadow seemed endless, attacking fiercely and in order, as if it would not stop until it cut through heaven and earth.

  Each attack was dispersed by Ye Chen, but the damage he suffered also increased. The bald man's one move, "Knife Cutting Off the Horizon", made Ye Chen unable to cope, but the bald man didn't just have one move.

  Three consecutive slashes were also a blade that cut off the horizon, making the knife shadow that was sometimes far and sometimes near even more numerous, and also made Ye Chen feel endless. Although he knew that his opponent couldn't slash out an endless knife shadow, so much time had passed, but the knife shadow didn't seem to decrease, which made Ye Chen's face inevitably solemn.

  The more he encountered difficulties, the calmer Ye Chen became. A powerful force struck his body through the Ling Shock, and even Ye Chen's physique, which was comparable to that of a third-stage cultivator, could hardly withstand it.

  It can't go on like this, Ye Chen felt that if it continued like this, perhaps before the opponent's knife shadow disappeared, he would really be cut down by the opponent. Since defense is not possible, there is only attack, and attack is his strong point!

  Ye Chen's face was solemn, and the killing intent and sharpness emanating from his hand holding the Ling Slayer were extremely strong. The combined seal suddenly dissipated, and the massive black and white sword energy also disappeared from Ye Chen's body. The stagnant Knife Shadow seemed to have received some kind of instruction, and it went crazy.

  The Ye Chen's hand-held soul slayer also burst out with an extremely strong momentum, and in Ye Chen's hand, a sword shadow was drawn out one by one, without black or white, only layer upon layer of black.

  The black sword shadow was equally sharp, although it didn't have the opponent's kind of overwhelming power, but because of the human-shaped sword spirit, the sharp sword shadow was enough to cut through the layers of unending knife shadows.

  Ye Chen's internal energy surged throughout his body, and the sword shadow he unleashed was not to be underestimated. He finally found a weakness in the endless knife shadows.

  For this slight opening, Ye Chen paid a considerable price as well. His body had already been struck by the sword's shadow once, and that power almost knocked him down.

  Ye Chen's body flashed and dodged out of the knife shadow, before he could even catch his breath, a dazzling knife light came towards him.

  The bald man didn't give Ye Chen a chance. As soon as Ye Chen appeared, the bald man clearly saw his position and intercepted him at the spot where he was passing by.

  The bald man's judgment was still very accurate. Facing Ye Chen who was charging towards him, the bald man didn't show any courtesy and directly slashed down with his knife.

  The gleaming blade edge carried an overwhelming momentum, making Ye Chen's dust almost unable to breathe, but in a moment of life and death, he couldn't afford to think too much, raised his hand and blocked the assassination with Ling.

  Having obtained the inner power of Ye Chen's sword, Yi Ling became stronger day by day, worthy of being a famous sword with human-shaped sword spirit. Ye Chen sighed many times.

  The opponent's blow was blocked by the increasingly powerful Soul Slayer. The Soul Slayer seemed to sense its master's thoughts, and suddenly burst out with an even more powerful aura, killing intent boiling over, dark energy surging!

  The sword spirit of the tyrannical soul did not appear, but even so, it was unmatched. The pitch-black longsword and the opponent's dazzling long knife stuck together, black and milky white distinct, each unwilling to yield.

  Ye Chen's body was suppressed for a moment, but in the end he withstood the opponent's fierce and swift slash.
