Starting from the ninth layer, the number of swordsmen had remained at one thousand, and the twenty-eighth layer was no exception.
On this layer, the swordsmen's Sword Domains had already surpassed Ye Chen's, reaching the mid fifth level. Every sword Ye Chen thrust out encountered endless resistance and twisting force. After killing forty-four swordsmen, his heart and throat were pierced by the forty-fifth and forty-sixth swordsmen.
Challenge of the twenty-eighth layer failed!
"The Sword Domain's influence on strength is far too great." Ye Chen's swordsmanship was ten or even a hundred times stronger than that of the twenty-eighth layer's swordsmen, and his attainment in the sword path was much higher as well. Yet before a stronger Sword Domain, it was already good enough if his swordsmanship could unleash one percent of its power. It was completely beneath his usual standard.
In the void outside the Sword Dimension, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, replaying every scene from the battle in his mind.
Three days later, Ye Chen entered the Sword Dimension again.
Cutting his way through every obstacle, Ye Chen soon arrived at the twenty-eighth layer.
Within the Sword Dimension, True Essence could not be projected outward. One could only engage in close combat, meaning that at most a dozen swordsmen could approach Ye Chen at a time, while the rest could only line up behind them.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew in all directions. Holding two swords, Ye Chen cast aside every distracting thought and focused wholly on dealing with the charging swordsmen. The twin swords in his hands resembled twisted rays of light, repeatedly piercing through the swordsmen's bodies. With the Fleeting Sword Domain, he could hold on for a while, even if their Sword Domains were a notch stronger than his.
The forty-fifth.
The fifty-second.
