Before the battle with Ji En had even begun, several figures of light appeared in the distance. These figures of light appeared one by one, and the ones leading them were almost all Heaven-Defying Cultivators.
Zi Chen's gaze swept across the faces of these Heaven-Defying Cultivators and found that there was no murderous aura on their faces, nor was there any killing intent around them. There was only boundless excitement and curiosity.
When they arrived at the battlefield, they deliberately stopped a kilometer away and did not move forward.
This was obviously to tell Zi Chen not to misunderstand and that they were only here to watch the battle, not to participate.
Just as Yi Qian said, not all foreign races who came to this world were invaders who came to wreak havoc.
During this period of time, no one dared to provoke Zi Chen, so after Ji En arrived on this continent, the powerful murderous aura that surged around him was very obvious. Therefore, the crowd followed this aura and came to witness the battle.
Among the cultivators who came to watch the battle, the number of foreign races was undoubtedly the largest, but there were also some human cultivators. Because of Zi Chen, these invading foreign races temporarily gave up fighting with the human side, and both sides were now in a state of peace.
The human cultivators who came were all in the Heavenly Realm. They gathered together and stood in an inconspicuous place, looking at Zi Chen with eyes that could not hide their excitement, but also some nervousness and worry.
Ji En's gaze swept across these spectators, and the corner of his mouth revealed a faint, cold smile. His figure flickered slightly, and he rushed towards Zi Chen.
As he rushed forward, his figure changed, and an illusory shadow appeared, and he rushed straight towards Zi Chen.
A hurricane appeared out of nowhere, and the hurricane swept up sand and dust, filling the world.
Feeling the pressure surging in the hurricane, the expressions of many cultivators who were watching the battle changed.
Among the human Heavenly Realm cultivators, an old man saw Ji En moving forward in the hurricane and could not help but exclaim, "As expected of a Heaven-Defying Cultivator, he is indeed powerful. Even the aura he emits is frightening."
Beside him was a young man with a longsword on his back. Hearing the old man's exclamation, he couldn't help but worry. He asked in a low voice, "Ancestor, can Zi Chen win?"
The old man gently shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but judging from Zi Chen's calm appearance, he should have some confidence."
While the two of them were conversing, the sandstorm had completely filled the sky. The world was grey, and Ji En's silhouette was clearly visible in the sandstorm. She was about to reach Zi Chen.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zi Chen. This was the first confrontation between the two of them, and no one knew who would win.
Zi Chen stood motionless in his original position. The sand and dust that filled the air would naturally dissipate when it was three meters away from Zi Chen. Looking at Ji En who had arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a golden light surged out from his body.
"Bang."
A loud sound of energy colliding rang out abruptly, followed by a powerful energy fluctuation that spread out in all directions.
This fluctuation carried a powerful destructive force, causing the space to begin to distort rapidly. Wherever it passed, the sandstorm that filled the sky was immediately twisted into nothingness. Wherever the ripples passed, the world lit up again, and the dust was not tainted.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the field. They saw that Zi Chen and Ji En had already made contact. Then, Ji En's figure swayed and retreated ten steps.
As for Zi Chen, he retreated five steps.
This was the first confrontation between the two of them. It seemed that Zi Chen had the upper hand, but everyone knew that this was only the beginning of the test. Neither of them used their Heavenly Soldiers, so naturally, they didn't show their strongest moves.
Ji En was slightly surprised that she was forced to retreat. She gently stepped on the ground and brought out another energy hurricane. Then, she rushed toward Zi Chen again.
A bright light flashed in Zi Chen's narrowed eyes. In a flash, he also rushed toward Ji En.
The two of them turned into two beams of light. Under the watchful eyes of many Heavenly Realm and Heaven-Defying Cultivators, they fiercely collided.
This was a head-on confrontation. The powerful collision of energy caused another explosion in the world. Terrifying energy ripples spread out once again.
This time, however, the ripples appeared continuously. It was as if a huge rock had suddenly fallen into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples.
These ripples were very terrifying. The people who had already intended to retreat had to retreat again.
When the ripples reached Yi Qian, they dissipated on their own. They couldn't do anything to her at all. However, after considering that this simple test might be a real life and death battle, she also took the initiative to retreat.
As for Black Tiger, he had already seen that the situation was not good. He flew toward a mountain peak in the distance.
When he was retreating, the old man on the human side happened to see Black Tiger retreating. When he saw that familiar figure, the old man was slightly stunned. A hint of doubt appeared on his face, but soon, he was attracted by the battle again.
"Boom!"
The energy was still vibrating in the sky. Terrifying auras emerged one after another. The two of them fought from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground to the sky. The space was constantly shattered and reformed. Broken energy craters appeared on the ground one after another.
In this head-on collision, the two of them clashed powerfully. For the time being, the winner couldn't be determined.
"Swoosh!"
Ji En's figure flashed and appeared behind Zi Chen. He threw a powerful punch at Zi Chen's back.
The dazzling fist light fell, but it only hit an afterimage. Then, Ji En felt a terrifying power coming from the side.
Feeling this terrifying energy fluctuation, Ji En's expression changed slightly. When the surface of his body formed a defense, he quickly dodged, trying to avoid this attack.
"Boom!"
The fist light exploded. The terrifying power swept through the sky. A huge black hole appeared in the sky. Ji En's figure swayed slightly and brushed past the edge of the black hole.
Although he dodged the attack head-on, his face was a little pale. He glanced at Zi Chen, who was chasing after him again. He gritted his teeth and rushed toward Zi Chen again.
Most of the experts watching the battle could only see two light shadows entangling. It was just that the light shadows turned into human figures from time to time. Only a small number of experts could see the specific details of the battle.
Hiding on a mountain peak, Hei Hu watched the battle from afar. His slightly nervous expression gradually relaxed. After a while, he muttered, "Although this kid has some tricks up his sleeve, Zi Chen is still a little better. It seems that this kid is going to lose this battle. Next should be the real life and death battle."
Not long after Hei Hu's voice fell, an even more muffled explosion sounded on the battlefield. A large area of space was shattered.
When the space shattered and the black hole appeared and spread, Zi Chen and Ji En flew back.
They stopped at the edge of the black hole. Ji En, whose face was a little pale, stared at Zi Chen with cold eyes. A streak of dark red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Ji En bleeding from the corner of his mouth, the foreign races watching the battle immediately changed their expressions. When they looked at the unharmed Zi Chen again, there was a deep sense of fear in their eyes.
Obviously, Zi Chen won this battle without using the Heavenly Soldiers.
The human Heavenly Realm experts were obviously worried about Zi Chen. When they saw Ji En bleeding from the corner of his mouth and Zi Chen unharmed, they were greatly relieved. The nervousness and worry in their eyes disappeared.
"Zi Chen is really strong." Seeing that Zi Chen was unharmed, the young man with the long sword on his back was the happiest.
"That's right. It's a small victory for now."
The old man beside the young man looked at Zi Chen with eyes full of praise.
When he heard the small discussions around him, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Ji En's face. He subconsciously looked at Yi Qian. In the previous battle, he didn't have the upper hand, but that didn't mean anything.
Fortunately, Yi Qian wasn't as superficial as the others. Her expression was still calm. As if she felt Ji En's gaze, when she turned to look at him, Yi Qian nodded slightly at him as encouragement.
Ji En turned his neck slightly, and with a sound like beans being fried, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Zi Chen and said coldly, "Warm-up is over."
Zi Chen nodded and said, "It's time for a serious battle."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the crowd was a little dumbfounded. When the two fought earlier, they couldn't withstand the energy fluctuations and had to retreat again and again. Who would have thought that the two were just warming up?
And now, the real battle had just begun.
While the crowd was shocked, their faces were also filled with excitement. Obviously, they would be able to watch an even more exciting battle.
A sword appeared in Ji En's hand. The sword was seven feet long, and the blade flashed with a blue light. The two lights were interchanging, and the sword emitted an aura that belonged to a heaven-defying weapon. A huge pressure appeared out of nowhere, and many of the weaker existences felt extremely oppressed, as if they were suffocating.
Looking at the strange Heavenly Weapon in Ji En's hand, Zi Chen recalled what Yi Qian had said before. Ji En's weapon was the Sorrow of Separation Sword.
At this moment, the Sorrow of Separation Sword emitted an oppressive aura. In Zi Chen's senses, there was a thick sense of sorrow. This was the aura emitted by the Sorrow of Separation Sword.
After holding the Sorrow of Separation Sword, the aura on Ji En's body obviously underwent a huge change. The original tyrannical aura disappeared, and in its place was a thick sense of sorrow.
Obviously, this was the heaven-defying law that Ji En had mastered, and it was completely compatible with the Sorrow of Separation Sword.
One man and one sword, completely merged into one.
"Man and sword as one."
When the old man in the distance saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaim.
Just by standing there casually, Ji En had become one with the sword. It could be seen that Ji En was a sword genius, and the sword was his strongest means.
As the Sorrow of Separation Sword fell into his hand, the aura around Ji En's body had completely suppressed Zi Chen's. The previous discussion also dissipated under this aura.
Yi Qian's eyes flashed. The current Ji En was qualified to be her target.
