The power of the Sword Pill in Ye Chen's hand could only sustain Ye Chen's super strength for a few seconds.
However, Geng Qu did not have such a restriction. Once the power of the Sword Pill in Ye Chen's hand was depleted, it would be the moment of Ye Chen's defeat and death.
"Kid, how can the strength of these external items compare to the strength that we have painstakingly cultivated? It's best that you obediently accept your death."
Geng Qu felt that victory was within his grasp. As he blocked Ye Chen's attacks, he waited for the power of the Sword Pill in Ye Chen's body to be depleted.
As long as the power of the Sword Pill in Ye Chen's body was depleted, Geng Qu was even confident that he could capture Ye Chen alive.
If he could capture Ye Chen alive, the guilt that Geng Qu had to bear for Guan Zhengqing's death would immediately be washed clean.
This was because the Myriad Swords Palace had a secret technique for refining sword slaves. If a sword genius like Ye Chen was refined into a sword slave, the Myriad Swords Palace would immediately have another powerful sword slave. The impact of Guan Zhengqing's death on the Myriad Swords Palace would immediately be reduced to an extreme.
"Sword Qi Across the Sky."
Suddenly, countless sword flashes shot out from Ye Chen's body. Most of the sword flashes were heading straight for Geng Qu.
Only one of them was like a stream of light that flashed towards the horizon.
Ye Chen's figure was also within it.
"Sword Dao escape technique. Ye Chen actually managed to barely cast such an escape technique with the help of the Sword Pill's power. Who knows, he might really be able to escape alive this time." The surrounding crowd immediately sighed when they saw Ye Chen's figure rapidly vanish into the horizon.
The so-called Sword Dao escape technique was an ultimate technique that one would automatically comprehend after their Sword Dao cultivation reached an extremely high realm.
With the help of a powerful Sword Dao cultivation, it could allow a warrior to tear through the void and reach an astonishing speed.
However, to cast a Sword Dao escape technique, one's Sword Dao cultivation had to be extremely astonishing. Ye Chen had clearly not reached this realm, so the Sword Dao escape technique he cast was barely cast with the help of the Sword Pill's power.
"He barely managed to use a Sword Dao escape technique. Even if he managed to escape, he wouldn't be able to get far."
Geng Qu narrowed his eyes and stared in the direction that Ye Chen had fled. A golden talisman appeared in his hand and he slapped it onto his body. A layer of golden light enveloped Geng Qu and carried his body towards the direction that Ye Chen had fled at an astonishing speed.
"Senior Geng Qu actually used a treasure to chase after Ye Chen. Looks like he won't rest until Ye Chen is dead." The surrounding crowd sighed and dispersed one after another.
They couldn't bear to waste their precious life-saving treasures, so they chased after them to continue watching the show.
Even though Ye Chen's Sword Dao escape technique was incomplete, it was not a problem for him to travel hundreds of miles in one go.
Seven hundred miles away from the Sword Realm, Ye Chen's figure appeared in a flash.
His figure staggered and fell out of that sword light, bringing Ye Chen out for more than seven hundred li in one breath before disappearing into thin air with a popping sound.
"The power of the Sword Pill has finally been exhausted." Ye Chen murmured, and the terrifying Sword Essence on his body slowly dissipated at this moment.
Without the power of the Sword Pill to protect him, Ye Chen's strength had once again returned to its original level.
Although this level of strength was enough for him to enter the Eastern Region's Fengyun List, he was still vulnerable in the face of an experienced expert like Geng Qu.
Looking in the direction of the Sword Realm, Ye Chen vaguely seemed to see a figure shrouded in golden light rushing towards him.
"He actually chased after me."
Ye Chen's body shook, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, there was a hint of determination.
Now, it was indeed the most critical moment for him. If he did not take out his greatest trump card, he was afraid that he would really die here today.
Holding the Monarch Sacred Sword in his hand, Ye Chen's eyes slowly closed.
Golden light flickered, and Geng Qu's figure suddenly stopped above Ye Chen.
Looking at Ye Chen who had returned to normal below, Geng Qu's face showed some pride and said: "Kid, no matter how many tricks you have, you can't escape from my palm."
Seeing Ye Chen's closed eyes, Geng Qu thought that Ye Chen had accepted his fate and would no longer resist him.
Therefore, Geng Qu grabbed downward with one hand, wanting to capture Ye Chen.
Whoosh!
A shocking aura suddenly burst out from the Monarch Sacred Sword in Ye Chen's hand.
"Hundred Inscriptions Divine Weapon." Geng Qu's face changed drastically, and his figure quickly retreated.
However, no matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than the Monarch Sacred Sword that was slashing towards him.
At this moment, on the surface of the Monarch Sacred Sword, countless lines appeared. These lines were like ancient characters that were inlaid on the Monarch Sacred Sword.
These ancient characters emitted a faint light that enveloped the Monarch Sacred Sword, causing the power of the Monarch Sacred Sword to reach an astonishing level.
Rumble!
Geng Qu's expression changed greatly as he forcefully used the crystal gloves in his hand to block in front of him.
But the quality of the crystal gloves was obviously inferior to the Monarch Sacred Sword. The Monarch Sacred Sword's sword aura directly slashed through the crystal gloves, cutting the crystal gloves into two.
At the same time, Geng Qu's arm was also cut into two.
Geng Qu's two arms were cut off at the elbow and fell to the ground.
Not only that, the power of the Monarch Sacred Sword drilled into Geng Qu's body from his severed arms and started to wreak havoc.
With a 'pu' sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Geng Qu did not dare to stay any longer. He forcefully controlled his body and flew far away.
Seeing Geng Qu leave, Ye Chen who was also pale white waved his hand and recalled the Monarch Sacred Sword. Just as he held onto the sword hilt, Ye Chen also spat out a mouthful of blood.
Following this mouthful of blood, Ye Chen's spirit seemed to have left his body along with this mouthful of blood.
Activating the lines on the Monarch Sacred Sword could indeed unleash a terrifying power. But, as the price, all of Ye Chen's power was also sucked away.
And this time, in order to ensure that he could kill Geng Qu in one fell swoop, Ye Chen had gambled everything. Even the power of the blood meridians in his body was consumed greatly.
The current him could be considered to have completely lost his ability to fight. If someone were to come to Ye Chen's side at this moment, it would be easy for them to kill Ye Chen.
"This time, I've suffered a great loss." Falling to the ground, Ye Chen smiled bitterly in his heart.
In order to deal with Geng Qu, not only did he use up the sword pellet that he had just obtained, he had also turned himself into this state. With his current state, he did not know how long it would take for him to recover.
After resting on the ground for a moment, Ye Chen immediately stood up and wanted to leave this place.
The sword strike just now did not kill Geng Qu, but only severely injured him. If Geng Qu stabilized his injuries and turned back, Ye Chen would still be dead.
However, Ye Chen still underestimated his injuries. After barely taking a few steps, he immediately fell to the ground again.
Rustle!
At this moment, a soft sound suddenly sounded in Ye Chen's ears.
"Who is it?" Ye Chen, whose expression changed greatly, suddenly turned his head to look at the dense forest beside him.
This dense forest did not occupy a large area. It was just the most ordinary forest in the Hidden Dragon World. Hence, Ye Chen and Geng Qu did not take this dense forest seriously.
To a Supreme Dao warrior, such a dense forest was indeed nothing. Hence, one move was enough to flatten it.
