Xiao Chen’s voice came unexpectedly, which captured the attention of the nearby newcomers and senior disciples. When they saw Xiao Chen, they were all stunned. Last time, Xiao Chen was beaten and taught a lesson by Bai Ling. This time, he shouldn’t be…

“Do you want to try?” Bai Ling turned around and looked at Xiao Chen coldly.

Xiao Chen smiled and looked at her slender, snow-white legs. He smiled and said, “It’s getting colder by the day and Senior Sister Bai Ling is wearing so little. Don’t you feel cold?”

“Swoosh!” Bai Ling thrust her sword toward Xiao Chen’s throat. She was so swift, just like a beam of cyan light, which quickly flashed in the air. The wind howled and the stones splintered. Everyone was shocked because it was obvious that Bai Ling was much stronger than she had been last month.

“Clank!” A loud clang sounded and a flash of light caught everyone’s eyes. Xiao Chen reached out with his palm. His power instantly condensed into an ice-blue defensive barrier that resisted the attack of the Cyan Spirit Sword belonging to Bai Ling.

The crowd was stunned. Obviously, Xiao Chen had also made great progress. It was hard to imagine how he managed to make such a breakthrough in such a short time.

“Chu Qi, get out of my way!” Xiao Chen moved his fingers to cast spell quickly. Then, three beams of golden Sword Qi shot out from his palm and launched an attack at Bai Ling.

“Swoosh!” Bai Ling leaped up into the air to dodge the golden light. At the same time, she swung her sword and formed a gigantic Pentacle Sword Formation with her Sword Qi to strike back against Xiao Chen.

“Boom!” Their momentums clashed with each other, causing the leaves to fall from the trees. A huge pentacle was printed on the ground. Xiao Chen dashed upward into the sky in the blink of an eye and kept casting spells with both hands and shouted, “Boundless heaven and earth, universal Storm of Swords! Unsullied Sword! Go!”

As his voice fell, the Unsullied Sword flew out with a whoosh. Thousands of golden Sword Qi streams shot out and lit up the sky. Everyone was surrounded by rows of dazzling golden lights that contained surging Mystic Power. “Storm of Swords! He is using Perfected Immortal Qingxu’s Myriad Sword Defeating!”

The golden Sword Qi just like a sharp claw came right at Bai Ling. The earth trembled and the mountains swayed in different directions. Xiao Chen’s intense momentum permeated the air and was soon condensed into an intangible cyclone, whirling toward everyone present. Bai Ling jumped back and shouted, “Song of the Cyan Spirit Sword!”

Before her voice faded completely, the Cyan Spirit Sword let out a cry. In an instant, it turned into a cyan light that enveloped a radius of a thousand feet, which resisted the powerful Sword Qi burst out from Xiao Chen. “Boom!” The raging Mystic Power swept around the sky and even shattered the clouds in an instant. Many disciples nearby flew away under the impact of the energy wave.

Right in midair, both sides kept reciting their own spells. After a while, their attacks came to a deadlock just between the roars of airwaves. Seeing that, Xiao Chen changed his spell again. He drew back all his Sword Qi. Then, two beams of mighty Sword Qi burst out and flew at Bai Ling rapidly. Bai Ling was forced to retreat. After regaining her balance, she cast a spell. The Cyan Spirit Sword divided into three parts and dashed at Xiao Chen.

It seemed like it had all happened in the blink of an eye, but the whole area was in a total mess with dust flying out everywhere. All disciples nearby had already retreated to a place more than 300 meters away and couldn’t help exclaiming, “Excellent! Both of them have their own advantages!”

Floating in midair, Xiao Chen kept moving his fingers to cast spells to resist the attacks from Bai Ling. It was a battle of Mystic Powers. Xiao Chen clearly felt that Bai Ling was stronger than last month.

Bai Ling also felt that Xiao Chen’s Mystic Power had become much purer than it had been last month, and his cultivation had also improved by quite a bit.

“Senior Sister Bai Ling, I don’t want to hurt you. Why don’t we stop fighting?” At this moment, although Xiao Chen kept casting spells to resist the attacks from Bai Ling, he was still calm and unhurried.

In the past, if Xiao Chen had said such words, no one would believe him and would even sneer at his overconfidence. But now, no one dared to do that, except for those who still did not know that Xiao Chen had gotten 3rd place on the Earth Ranking.

Bai Ling felt dizzy and weak, but she breathed in, forcing calmness. She answered with more than the usual coldness in her voice, “You are still too weak to challenge me!”

After that, she suddenly jumped up about a hundred feet. It seemed that she had sunk into the clouds. Then, a layer of cyan light emerged on her body, and her Cyan Spirit Sword also burst out with abundant shining light. She continued to recite spells, as if all the vital force between heaven and earth had gathered and been absorbed by her.

Everyone was stunned. “Senior Sister Bai Ling is really going to summon the Spirit of the Cyan Spirit Sword this time! Get out of the way!”

Bai Ling was floating hundreds of meters in the air. Her body was covered by a faint cyan light and her clothes were rippling gently in the wind. She was just like a charming fairy. Behind her, a 30-meter-long cyan-colored divine bird slowly appeared.

The feathered tail of the cyan-colored divine bird fluttered in the air, like clouds that covered the sky for a thousand miles. The crowd exclaimed, “Sword Spirit! It’s a real sword spirit!”

Xiao Chen held his breath and concentrated. This time, he felt the powerful immortal energy of the Green Spirit Divine Bird. It was a pity that the Spirit of the Unsullied Sword had not been awakened. Otherwise, it would not have been so hard for him to fight Mo Jinyan last time.

“It’s over…” Bai Ling’s expression was indifferent. In the first battle with Xiao Chen at the Long-Gate Pass, she didn’t want to hurt Xiao Chen. But now, she no longer cared about that. With her ice-cold eyes, she released all her power. It seemed that she would even kill Xiao Chen.

“It’s over…” Bai Ling’s cold voice echoed in the sky above the back mountain. The Green Spirit Divine Bird roared and rushed at Xiao Chen fiercely. The vital force of heaven and earth was surging back and forth at this moment, summoning gales and splintering stones that obscured everyone’s vision. Horror welled up inside the eyes of Qin Tianyu and the other disciples from the Wind-heeding Pavilion. “Brother Chen!”

Xiao Chen stood high in the sky, with his robe rustling loudly and hair fluttering in the wind. He focused his eyes on the Green Spirit Divine Bird that was getting closer and closer to him. He didn’t panic at all and murmured as if he was talking to himself, “Bai Ling, you didn’t use all of your Mystic Power during our battle at Long-Gate Pass, so I also didn’t want to hurt you that time. But now you still insist on fighting with me, so… Dragon’s Decimation!”

As his voice fell, Xiao Chen ran his True Energy and unleashed the sixth move of the Dragon Roar Palm—Dragon’s Decimation. In an instant, the wind blew around fiercely and the entire back mountain shook violently. Large pieces of dark clouds gathered in the sky as bolts of lightning and thunder raged.

At this moment, it seemed that the whole sky turned dark and gloomy. The dark clouds blocked out the sun, and the whole back mountain seemed to be at dusk.

“Howl…”

All of a sudden, dark clouds were rolling in the air. A dragon roar, loud enough to shake heaven, resounded and shocked people’s souls. The whole back mountain trembled and everyone’s ears were about to be deafened by the roar. They looked up at the sky and cried out, “Goodness! What’s that?”

The dark clouds opened up to reveal two 300-meter-long black dragons that were covered in thunder and lightning. Their eyes were like lamps as they glared at everyone below in fury. All the people were shocked. They widened their eyes and exclaimed, “Oh, my god! Dragons! They’re dragons!”

Many of them had seen the purple lightning dragon summoned by Perfected Immortal Zihui before, but at this moment, when they saw Xiao Chen summoning the Divine Archean Dragon, they could only open their mouths in astonishment.

In fact, the purple lightning dragon of Perfected Immortal Zihui was the spirit of a Divine Archean Dragon, which could be regarded as a real dragon. While the two dragons summoned by Xiao Chen were just phantoms formed by Dragon’s Decimation, not real dragons. However, since everyone didn’t calm themselves down from the amazement, it was hard for them to distinguish whether the two black dragons were real dragons or not.

Seeing that, Bai Ling’s face became more gloomy and she cast spells more quickly. Cyan light flashed between her fingers and produced more power to support the Green Spirit Divine Bird to launch attacks. The Green Spirit Divine Bird kept making sharp whistling sounds. It must have sensed the mighty power of the black dragons and realized that the dragons should be great threats.

“Howl…”

Lightning was rolling in the clouds above. The two black dragons roared loudly, and one of them suddenly rushed to the Green Spirit Divine Bird. The dragons’ bodies were covered with black scales, which looked frightening. Some disciples with lower levels of cultivation were so scared that their faces turned white and their legs trembled.

After all, dragons were horrible creatures only existing in the ancient legends. They had terrifying power that could destroy the world. According to legend, there were two dragons, namely Yinglong, a Divine Archean Dragon, and Qiongtian, an Evil Archean Dragon. These two dragons had been fighting for thousands of years and once destroyed the whole world. Finally, Fuxi Emperor in the Human Realm subdued them and sealed their power.

Of course, the two raging dragons summoned by Xiao Chen were naturally much weaker than those two dragons in the ancient legends.

The Green Spirit Divine Bird and the black dragon, which had flown away from the black clouds, were at a stalemate. Intense momentum permeated the air, sending shockwaves through the crowd. It could be seen that the black dragon was hundreds of feet long, and its angry eyes were like lamps. It was surging its destructive energy. The Green Spirit Spiritual Bird was only 10 feet in height, but its eyes were sharp and sparkling with cyan light. Its momentum was not inferior to that of the dragon.

All of a sudden, the whole scene changed again, along with surging Mystic Power. A strong blast swept through the air, resulting in the collapse of mountains and cracks in the ground. Seeing that, most of the disciples had to condense barriers to block this powerful remnant force.

Because of the loud noise, not only the disciples nearby, but also other disciples in a distance had been attracted by the fierce battle between the dragon and the cyan-colored divine bird. Their faces were filled with shock.

On the top of a mountain in a distance, the three Perfected Immortals were also focusing on the fight. Perfected Immortal Zihui stroked his beard and nodded, saying, “He transformed his Mystic Power into phantoms of Divine Archean Dragons to fight against the Spirit of the Cyan Spirit Sword. This kind of cultivation method is really mysterious. That might be handed down from ancient times.”

After a pause, he added, “But I am afraid that he is still unable to defeat Bai Ling. It is because the Green Spirit Sword Spirit is a real immortal spirit, while his dragons are only phantoms.”

…

Once again, the throng broke out into chaotic chatter, both excited and a little scared. In the air, Xiao Chen moved his fingers at rapid-fire pace as he chanted spells to produce enough power for the raging dragon. He felt very tired. It seemed that he had really underestimated Bai Ling, or the strength of her Sword Spirit.

Bai Ling did not look any better either. Her face had turned a little pale and her long hair fluttered wildly in the wind. Obviously, she had exerted her nearly maximum power. It was her Sword Spirit that resisted Xiao Chen’s raging dragon, but she should provide her own spirit energy for the Sword Spirit.

Bai Ling bit the tip of her lips and spat some Essence Blood on her palm, using it to cast some strange spells. Suddenly, strange, unnatural winds began to blow. Bai Ling’s eyes became bright red. At the same time, the cyan light around her brightened and gathered into a beam of strong cyan light that connected Bai Ling with her Sword Spirit. Then, both the size and power of the Green Spirit Divine Bird increased by several times in an instant. The raging dragon was unprepared for that and was forced to back 20 meters away!

The crowd on the ground took notice of that increasing power, and they immediately exclaimed, “She! What did she do?”

In the distance, the three Perfected Immortals grew stone-faced in an instant. Perfected Immortal Qingxu said in astonishment, “Bai Ling is asking for death by doing so! She has signed a blood contract with her Sword Spirit. If her Sword Spirit is hurt, she will be doomed! Hurry up! Go and make Xiao Chen stop striking back!”

After thinking for a while, Perfected Immortal Chongyang was the first to calm down. He stretched out his hand and stopped Perfected Immortal Qingxu. “Don’t worry, Senior Brother. Xiao Chen knows what he’s doing. He won’t really hurt Bai Ling.”

Perfected Immortal Chongyang just remembered that in the last Wastelands Sword Tryout, Xiao Chen risked his life to send Jiang Qianqian back to a safe place at the last minute. From this, it could be seen that Xiao Chen was not a cold-hearted person.
