"Oh? You actually dodged my lethal ambush?" The old man looked at Yi Chen in surprise.
"Heh, of course I knew you would ambush me. I'm highly vigilant, and my reactions are quick," Yi Chen said calmly. "But I know even better that once I'm cornered, my enemy will pounce without the slightest hesitation."
"Clever!" The old man nodded approvingly. "But you're still nowhere near good enough!"
The old man took a step forward. Dazzling golden light immediately rose beneath his feet, making him look like a Buddha, sacred and majestic!
At the same time, Yi Chen radiated a brilliant golden luster, like a god of war bathed in golden light, his imposing might surging to the heavens.
Rumble...
The old man struck. He raised his arm, spread his fingers, and reached for Yi Chen. Violent primordial energy surged, gathering between his fingers before finally condensing into a gleaming golden sword.
The golden sword radiated suffocating fluctuations of power.
Yi Chen's gaze turned icy. He met the attack fearlessly, slashing the long saber in his hand toward the old man's palm with a piercing shriek.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere. The dagger in Yi Chen's hand actually failed to withstand the old man's sword strike and was knocked flying, while the fierce golden sword continued hurtling down at Yi Chen with heaven-shaking sword qi.
Whoosh!
Yi Chen's expression shifted slightly. He sprang into the air, evading the sword.
A fine cut appeared on his face, and his skin split open.
He had to admit that the old man possessed formidable cultivation and terrifying strength. Even after activating his supreme treasure, he still could not withstand the attack.
Yi Chen's gaze grew colder. Although this supreme treasure could block the old man's attacks, he could also feel its enormous consumption of energy.
