Twin Blades Collide · A Fierce Battle, Part Two

Li Xiaochen pushed up his glasses and smiled. "It's no use. The finer my metal particles are broken, the more of them there are. Cut one in half, and it becomes two; cut two in half, and they become four. In theory, as long as I have enough Soul Power, they can divide without end."

Ye Lingtian's expression changed completely!

Ye Zhongguan's brows knitted tight. He realized that unless he dealt with Li Xiaochen first, there was no way to fight this battle!

"Lingtian, cover me!" he growled. Beneath his feet, his Sixth Soul Ring flashed with black light!

"Sixth Soul Skill: Sea Abyss Soul-Exterminating Slash!"

Ghostly blue light fused with the black power of annihilation along the Sea Abyss Soul-Exterminating Blade, becoming a world-ending arc of blade light that slashed straight toward Li Xiaochen!

Ye Lingtian gritted his teeth and swung the Heaven-Splitting Sword with all his might. Nine arcs of sword light became a golden curtain before Li Longyue, trying to stop him from coming to the rescue!

But—

Li Longyue made no move to help.

He simply stood there, watching the blade light slash toward Li Xiaochen. A faint smile touched his lips.

"Xiaochen, your turn."

Li Xiaochen pushed up his glasses and swept his left hand lightly through the air.

"Thousand-Mechanism Lock: Absolute Defense!"

Countless metal particles gathered in an instant, forming a massive shield three feet thick before him! Dense Soul Tool runes glimmered across its surface!

Boom—!!!

Ye Zhongguan's Sea Abyss Soul-Exterminating Slash struck the shield with savage force!

The shield shuddered violently. Countless hairline cracks spread across its surface, but... it did not break!

Ye Zhongguan froze!

His strongest attack had been stopped by a shield?!

"That's impossible!" he blurted out.

Li Xiaochen peeked out from behind the shield and smiled. "Nothing's impossible.
