Whoosh.

Above the Zodiac Battle Platform, Ye Chen's body left an afterimage in place as he charged at Duanmu Xiong, wielding the Thunder Sword Aura.

Having pushed the Myriad Human Emperor Body to its limits, his speed was incredibly fast, causing sonic booms in the air as he moved.

The watching freshmen hadn't even reacted before Ye Chen appeared in front of Duanmu Xiong, brandishing the Thunder Sword Aura, executing five or six slashes against the Silver Sword Dragon.

"Trash, don't think you can succeed. This time, you think you'll hit me again?" Duanmu Xiong's expression was sinister as he manipulated the Silver Sword Dragon's sharp claws to strike at Ye Chen's Thunder Sword Aura.

Clang clang clang!

Two forces collided fiercely, producing an ear-piercing metallic sound that shook everyone's eardrums painfully.

This time, Ye Chen's Thunder Sword Aura couldn't harm the Silver Sword Dragon and was even repelled by its incredibly sharp claws.

The Silver Sword Dragon's power was incredibly strong, reaching the equivalent of two hundred Tiger Power.

Even though Ye Chen displayed the Perfection Realm , he still couldn't compare to the opponent.

However, Ye Chen remained extremely calm, as if everything was within his control.

Though his body was knocked five or six zhang back by the Silver Sword Dragon's claws, he appeared undamaged.

After all, Ye Chen's Myriad Human Emperor Body's defense was comparable to a Tier Two Demon Beast, and most of the Silver Sword Dragon's attacks were offset by the Thunder Sword Aura.

The remaining power couldn't harm Ye Chen's physical body at all.

"You think you can defeat me with your trash skills? You're just daydreaming. Today, I'll crush your Dantian completely so you'll never rise again," Duanmu Xiong said coldly, murderous intent surging from him, manipulating the massive Silver Sword Dragon to crash into Ye Chen like a silver Divine Mountain.

Thump thump thump.

The whole Zodiac Battle Platform trembled uncontrollably at this moment.

In an instant, the massive body of the Silver Sword Dragon rushed at Ye Chen, appearing as if it would smash him into pulp.

"Too slow." Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile; with a flicker, he easily dodged the Silver Sword Dragon's impact, appearing behind it.

Slash slash.

The next moment, the Thunder Sword Aura in Ye Chen's hand slashed down hard on the Silver Sword Dragon's back, sending a series of sparks flying, an incredibly astonishing sight.

However, the defense of the Silver Sword Dragon's back was far stronger than its head, and even Ye Chen's attack could only leave arm-thick wounds without posing a substantial threat.

"Useless trash, you only know how to dodge like a stray dog? We'll see how long the True Qi in your body can last," Duanmu Xiong shouted, eyes turning blood-red, resembling a mad beast, causing chills.

In his view, Ye Chen's True Qi was quite limited, and performing the Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts consumed a lot of True Qi.

Once Ye Chen's True Qi was depleted, he wouldn't be able to maintain his current battle power.

Then he'd crush Ye Chen like an ant.

Roar.

The next moment, the Silver Sword Dragon's massive body turned sharply, swinging its tail covered in silver spikes, sweeping toward Ye Chen like a mountain ridge.

Whoosh.

Yet, Ye Chen's response was incredibly quick; he instantly anticipated the Silver Sword Dragon's attack trajectory, effortlessly dodging its assault.

Moreover, his leg muscles unleashed terrifying power, propelling his body like a spring into the sky, appearing above the Silver Sword Dragon's head, stabbing the Thunder Sword Aura toward its eye.

"Oh no." Duanmu Xiong gasped in shock, eyes wide with horror.

The eyes were the Silver Sword Dragon's weakest defense point; if Ye Chen's Thunder Sword Aura hit it, the consequences would be dire.

"Damn trash, you forced me to this point! Bloodline Secret Technique, Myriad Swords Piercing the Heart." Faced with the threat of death, Duanmu Xiong roared angrily, instinctively deploying the hidden Secret Technique of the Silver Sword Dragon Bloodline.

This Secret Technique was the most powerful attack of the Silver Sword Dragon Bloodline and Duanmu Xiong's trump card.

He wouldn't utilize it readily unless absolutely necessary.

But now, he had to activate it, or he might really lose to Ye Chen.

If that happened, how could he face others?

Buzz.

In a flash, dazzling silver divine light bloomed from the massive body of the Silver Sword Dragon, like a blinding small sun.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Immediately, the silver bone spikes that were originally upright above the Silver Sword Dragon's back shot out like Celestial God's swords, densely packed, piercing towards Ye Chen in the sky.

"Not good." Above the Zodiac Battle Platform, Ouyang Zhong's face suddenly changed dramatically, looking even worse than a corpse.

He couldn't have expected that Duanmu Xiong would be forced by Ye Chen to use a bloodline secret technique.

One must know, the power of those silver bone spikes is extremely terrifying, likely surpassing the Power of a Hundred Tigers.

Moreover, they are razor-sharp, comparable to a divine weapon cutting through iron like mud, and even Ye Chen's Myriad Human Emperor Body could not possibly withstand.

If Ye Chen gets pierced, it wouldn't just be a matter of his dantian being crippled; he could even lose his life.

Boom.

In the next moment, an incomparably violent surge of Celestial Spirits erupted from Ouyang Zhong's body, emitting a soul-shaking aura.

Even if it meant breaking the rules of the competition today, he absolutely could not stand by and watch Ye Chen get killed.

"Ouyang Zhong, what do you intend to do? With me here, no one will disrupt the competition today." At that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in Ouyang Zhong's ear, carrying an overwhelmingly dominant tone that would not tolerate any opposition.

The speaker was none other than Duanmu Ying.

From her body also surged an incredibly powerful Celestial Spirits, much more formidable than Ouyang Zhong's, firmly locking him in place.

If Ouyang Zhong truly acted to save Ye Chen, she would definitely intercept him without hesitation.

"Damn it! Duanmu Ying, you are deliberately trying to get Ye Chen killed." Ouyang Zhong was furious to the extreme, his forehead even lined with veins.

He had waited so long for a genius like Ye Chen, yet now all he could do was watch Ye Chen get killed.

How could he resign to that!

But Duanmu Ying's strength was far too great, beyond anything he could contend with.

Even if he wanted to save Ye Chen, he had no way to do it.

"Oh my god! What a terrifying bloodline secret technique, Ye Chen is doomed this time." The observing freshmen exclaimed in shock, their expressions extremely frightened.

"Hmph! That loser dies, he dies; he brought it upon himself. Why did he have no self-awareness, thinking that someone like Duanmu Xiong is someone he can provoke." Some sneered at the spectacle, a schadenfreude smile on their faces.

Swoosh swoosh.

At that moment, the sharp silver bone spikes suddenly pierced Ye Chen's body like a beehive, making the air emit ear-splitting sonic booms.

However, something unexpected happened to the crowd.

Ye Chen's body, pierced through, did not spill a single drop of blood; instead, it vanished into the air.

"What? That was his shadow decoy; how could this be?" Duanmu Xiong's pupils contracted sharply, his expression instantly frozen, looking worse than a corpse.

He initially thought that even if his bloodline secret technique couldn't kill Ye Chen, it would certainly inflict unimaginable critical injuries.

But unexpectedly, Ye Chen seemed to have predicted he would use the bloodline secret technique, deliberately leaving a shadow decoy to mislead him.

How did he manage to anticipate it?

Shu.

While Duanmu Xiong was still in disbelief, a dazzling thunder sword aura suddenly pierced into the Silver Sword Dragon's eye, bursting forth with terrifying lightning.

Snap snap.

In the next moment, the Silver Sword Dragon's eye shattered entirely, and even the top of its head split with huge cracks, like ceramics, seemingly ready to break apart at any moment.

Ah!

Heart-wrenching screams suddenly echoed from Duanmu Xiong's mouth, like an evil spirit crying out, sounding bone-chillingly eerie.

His body, although not directly hit by Ye Chen's thunder sword aura, suffered from a terrifying backlash.

In an instant, his meridians were collectively broken, and even his internal organs appeared with numerous cracks, critically injured, lying on the ground like a lifeless dog.

"It's all over." Ye Chen's gaze was icily cold, clutching the thunder sword aura, and fiercely stabbed towards Duanmu Xiong on the ground.

If not for his Myriad Human Emperor Body sensing danger earlier, helping him to evade Duanmu Xiong's bloodline secret technique, he'd likely already be dead.

At this moment, Ye Chen's intent to kill Duanmu Xiong completely took form.

"No! I don't want to die." Duanmu Xiong's eyes were filled with intense fear and despair, but his injuries were too severe, preventing him even from admitting defeat, leaving him to watch helplessly as Ye Chen's thunder sword aura stabbed toward him.
