With one slash, Ye Chen sent sword energy blazing forward like a rainbow. A fierce wave of force surged into the air as the merciless strike hurtled toward Zephyr, who stood firm, his legs rooted to the ground.
The Iron Wall Crusher came down with furious force. A deafening crash shook the air as the sword energy struck it. The two forces clashed like dragons, neither gaining the upper hand. Zephyr might have been old, but he had lost little of his strength.
Ye Chen's sword flashed as he unleashed the Deadly Quick Sword with all his might. Combining it with deft footwork and peerless Lightness Skill, he darted around Zephyr, and the two plunged into a fierce battle.
Zephyr's strength was fearsome, and the Iron Wall Crusher was dangerous. But Ye Chen's Lightness Skill and swordsmanship were exceptional. Worse, he never stuck to a pattern. One moment he swung his sword; the next he struck with fists and feet. His attacks were impossible to predict.
After a while, Ye Chen suddenly sheathed his sword, drove his True Qi to its limit, and slammed a fist into Zephyr's left arm.
The Iron Wall Crusher contained Seastone, but Ye Chen coated his fist in Haki, so he no longer had to fear its power.
Zephyr was old, and Ye Chen's sudden change of tactics gave him no time to dodge.
Bang!
The punch landed squarely. With a crack, a fissure split the Iron Wall Crusher. It broke in two and fell to the ground. Zephyr seemed to have had the spirit drained out of him. His face dimmed, and his commanding presence faltered.
"Teacher..."
Seeing Zephyr fall, Ain broke away from Kuina and rushed over. Ye Chen looked at Zephyr and urged him, "Take your people and leave the Holy Land.
