The Gentleman at the End

The weapon in Yi Chen's hand perhaps can be considered a 'Chain Blade', while also having a divine aura of dark black color cast on the surface of the iron chains,

Those who participated in the invader wars and have encountered the Outer Realm Divinity know this represents the divine nature of the outer realms. They are deeply puzzled as to why this iron chain, produced by the monastery plantation, would exude divinity.

The Great Emperor could also distinctly perceive the high rank of this iron chain, which might even compare to the chains behind the Prison Director.

Although he did not know how the young man in front of him could obtain a chain of such rank, it truly made him glad... The Great Emperor originally thought the so-called performance before him was merely a display of arrogance by a group of weaklings, but surprisingly, he encountered a true powerhouse, and one closely connected to his 'old friend'.

At this moment,

Yi Chen, leaning against the side wall, began to pose an aggressive stance, using his wrists to manipulate the iron chains held in both hands,

Under the guidance of the iron chains,

the black long blade at the chain's end began to spin rapidly,

With his right foot stepping forward, he stomped deeply into the ground before him.

Gathering all his strength, he swung his arm to throw the iron chain, letting the blade at the end slash directly towards the Great Emperor a hundred meters away,

This was also Yi Chen's first time, and the first time for William's team, launching an attack on Emperor Pulaid,

Depending on the effect of this strike, it might determine whether it's possible to defeat this fearsome emperor of the Old World.

Watching the Chain Blade attack from the left side,

The Great Emperor sensed a rare threat from it, feeling as if he was back in the invasion war, as if the enemy before him was not an Old World patient but an Outer Realm God.

With his left hand not holding a sword, he made an upward motion and chanted:

≮Emperor Blood Plague. Part Two - Blood Fortress Casting≯

Buzz!!

A blood fortress, equivalent to the city-state of old, rose from the ground, reaching the top of the circus tent, even with various armors and shields of soldiers hanging on the wall.

The wall's surface was covered with special blood vessels to form a solid structure, sufficient to withstand large army attacks.

This scene left Marquis Enwei dumbfounded,

"To think a chanted blood plague secret method could raise such a high wall from the ground, forming such a perfect and strong barrier, is this the effect of 'Emperor's Heart'? It seems the Great Emperor's powers have grown stronger during his seclusion... Even if the Blood Lord cannot be fully resurrected, the Great Emperor can perfectly accept this qualification."

As Marquis Enwei was amazed by the Great Emperor's demonstration of the blood plague secret method,

Clang!

The Chain Blade swept in, and the tip of the black blade struck the massive wall surface,

Only from a visual standpoint,

Such a small 'anti-personnel weapon' seemingly could not break the wall, let alone the blood fortress constructed by the Great Emperor.

But the actual situation was unexpected.

Boom!

The theater trembled, and the walls collapsed, blood scattered.

The blood citizens on the observation platform all widened their eyes, unable to believe the scene they vaguely saw during the wall's collapse.

"Was that just now!"

Skilled in perception, Marquis Enwei saw a clearer picture,

During the collapse of the blood wall, through the gaps of the shattered wall, Marquis Enwei saw countless dead, with men and women, old and young, all dressed in different attire, showing different states of death.

Yet they all grasp, or bite the iron chain, their consciousness connected, collectively driving the chain to gather the essence of death upon the black blade at the top, turning the 'anti-personnel weapon' into an 'anti-city weapon'.

Clusters of death converged to directly break through the wall,

The most direct perception belonged naturally to Emperor Pulaid, who genuinely felt an unusual army of dead governed by Yi Chen fully breaking through the walls, advancing directly towards his throne.

This was a kind of army he had never seen before; even without unified attire or armor, their thoughts demonstrated a high degree of unity and integration.

The Great Emperor could also feel Yi Chen was also a 'ruler', though he had never seen this strange ruling style, finding it difficult to understand why these dead, whom Yi Chen had killed, would persistently follow the killer.

At the moment of the wall's shattering, the Great Emperor took the initiative to block with his sword,

Clang!

The ear-piercing sound waves spread across the field.

This scene appeared much like the "Blood-colored Knight Order" under the Great Emperor's command and the army of the dead governed by Yi Chen clashing, as these were well-trained troops with the emperor's command.

The Chain Blade failed to breach the Blood Sword's defenses, being completely bounced and deflected,

The scene was as if the Blood-colored Knight Order had scattered the disorganized dead simply linked by chains.

Yi Chen pulled the Chain Blade back... Adjusted his wrists to continue rotating the chains, letting the black blade at the end continue to spin rapidly, seeming that the previous attack had let Yi Chen adapt to the new weapon.

The real assault was yet to come.

Though the Great Emperor deflected the Chain Blade, the weighty feel of the chain was beyond imagination, and its divine aura surprisingly could rival the Blood Sword head-on.

Moreover, the Great Emperor sensed the most unusual part among the Chain Blade,

Besides those 'slain' who followed Yi Chen, there was a special presence, acting as the most threatening weapon to lead the swarm of dead in the charge, the 'General',

the Fear Circus's top executioner – Nash.

The recent clash had left a shallow black mark on the sword encased by the deep red rope binding, some kind of death black liquid not belonging to the Old World lingering on it.

Crack~

A crisp sound of an ankle fracture echoed,

"Instant"

Yi Chen began to display his movement technique, each ankle twist causing the complete shattering of the joint, even visible tearing in the ankles to the naked eye.

Residual images momentarily filled the entire circus arena,

"Is this how 'Instant' is used... increasing speed through death, it's my first time seeing something like this~ interesting. However, to surpass the Great Emperor's eyes might not be enough, hopefully, there are other means at play."

Somehow, Zede had crawled out of Glatoni's mouth, sitting beside him to jointly watch this once-in-a-century showdown.

The rapidly spinning Chain Blade slashed towards the Great Emperor from different angles,

Each strike was led by General Nash, propelled by over ten thousand dead, lashing towards the Great Emperor.

Sword glints and shadow strikes, black and red intertwined

Each collision seemed likened to the frontal clash of two armies,

Unsurprisingly, all the black blade's slashes were blocked by the Great Emperor, who might even use his free left hand to cast secret techniques, growing numerous blood-colored arms in the area to try and grab Yi Chen.

The scene looked like both sides were in a stalemate,

But the clown, Art, from the observation platform quickly noticed an issue, a very significant issue, and his eyes almost popped out.

"Oh my God! I didn't expect such a big gap? It seems even if Mr. Yi undergoes qualitative changes in the short term, it's hard to contend with such genuine Old World monsters."

William was somewhat curious, "Art, you've already noticed the gap? How big is it?"

"William, are you blind? Oh! You've been kicked in the head by Mr. Yi, perhaps your reaction is indeed slower now... have a look for yourself, the Great Emperor's area of activity compared to Mr. Yi's, just compare them.

From the start of the fight to now, the Great Emperor's left foot hasn't moved even once, he only needs to stand in place to block all attacks.

His 'Twin Eyes' have already seen through every move, seeming only to wait for an opportunity, a chance to end this duel with a single sword slash.

Let's prepare for the warm-up~ If Mr. Yi is defeated, we'll need to start executing the plan."

William, with ashes drifting through his pupil, remained silent, not believing Yi Chen could win, yet also convinced Yi Chen wouldn't be defeated so easily.

"Yi Chen, if you don't pull out some other tricks, you're really going to lose!"
