Chapter 595: A Bad Feeling

As the Sword Energy approached, the Flame Tribe fighter’s expression became serious.

Even though Yi Chen had suppressed the power of the Sword Energy to just one percent and its speed to only one-tenth, it still posed a considerable threat to him.

Of course, it was merely a threat.

The Flame Tribe fighter took a deep breath, and his twenty-meter tall body suddenly transformed into a flash of red lightning, dodging to the side.

Whoosh…

The Sword Energy brushed past him and struck the defensive barriers, where it was blocked.

The Flame Tribe fighter hesitated for no moment; his entire body instantly turned into a massive flame and surged towards Yi Chen.

The temperature of this flame reached several million degrees, causing the entire space to begin to warp slightly.

"They’re coming! The Flame Tribe fighter is starting to counterattack!"

"This guy isn’t foolish. Just a moment ago, he was arrogant and let Clay attack first. Now, seeing that Clay excels at long-range attacks instead of using branches and leaves, he immediately switches to offense."

From the stands, the majority of the spectators grew excited.

On the stage, Yi Chen remained calm and composed.

As he saw the Flame Tribe fighter transform into flames approaching him, he swiftly swung his sword for a rapid succession of slashes.

One after another, Sword Energies sliced towards the Flame Tribe fighter.

They still held only one percent of their power, and the speed remained at one-tenth.

However, after transforming into flames, the Flame Tribe fighter’s size expanded significantly, greatly increasing his attack area.

Though he still moved at high speed, he couldn’t avoid the oncoming Sword Energies.

One by one, the Sword Energies penetrated forward, striking the flames that the Flame Tribe fighter had turned into.

These Sword Energies cut deep, leaving behind sword marks on the flames.

Yet, they could not stop the approaching flames of the Flame Tribe fighter.

Just as this vast area of flames, now stretching a hundred meters wide, was about to close in, Yi Chen shifted his body.

He executed the Cloud Treading Technique, quickly dodging the overwhelming flames.

As he opened the distance, he continued to swing his sword in quick cuts.

His speed was only one-tenth of the Cloud Treading Technique, but it was still slightly faster than the flames.

"What incredible speed!"

"Oh my, what’s happening? It seems his speed is even faster than that of the Flame Tribe fighter!"

"Level 150, with such attack power and speed, can barely be considered a genius."

In the stands, most spectators looked visibly unhappy.

Attack, speed, and reaction.

These three conditions, although not a complete representation of the outcome of a duel, serve as important references for determining victory or defeat.

Even though Yi Chen was only displaying one-tenth of the speed of the Cloud Treading Technique, he was still slightly faster than the Flame Tribe fighter.

Regarding attack power, the Sword Energy was also impressive. While the Flame Tribe fighter’s attack methods countered those of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, they could only be seen as a little superior.

This meant that in terms of attack and speed, both sides had their strengths and weaknesses.

In this battle, the Flame Tribe fighter clearly had a harder time winning than they had imagined.

In fact, the situation on the field indicated that the Flame Tribe fighter was slightly at a disadvantage.

As Yi Chen used his speed to create distance, he continuously attacked the Flame Tribe fighter with Sword Energy.

These Sword Energies struck the Flames, and while they only created a gap in the Flames, that gap quickly restored itself.

It appeared to cause no damage to the Flame Tribe fighter.

However, the spectators who had seen the Flame Tribe fighter in battle understood well.

Although the flames did not harm the Flame Tribe fighter when attacked, they significantly drained his energy.

The Flame Tribe fighter needed to expend a lot of energy just to restore the Flames fully.

"Damn it, you can’t escape!"

After chasing for four to five minutes, the Flame Tribe fighter felt extremely frustrated.

No matter what he did, he couldn’t keep up with Yi Chen’s speed.

On the other hand, Yi Chen used his speed and the advantage of attacking from a distance to make the Flame Tribe fighter’s energy drain quickly.

He understood clearly that he could not continue this way.

Otherwise, he would find himself defeated.

Suddenly, the Flames split into over a dozen smaller flames, bursting out and quickly circling towards Yi Chen.

Each small flame seemed to possess a life of its own, rapidly surrounding and intercepting Yi Chen.

"You think you can control multiple attacks at the same time?"

Yi Chen sneered.

In the next instant, over a dozen immortal swords appeared around him.

Under his control, these swords moved like spirit serpents, launching towards the Flames to intercept and attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like his attacks, Yi Chen suppressed the intensity of his divine consciousness to only one percent.

Then, the reaction speed was lowered to only one-tenth of its level.

Even so, it was still slightly higher than that of the Flame Tribe fighter.

The dozens of immortal swords were faster and more agile than the fireballs.

The Flame Tribe fighter completely did not expect that Yi Chen had such attack methods.

Caught off guard, the fireballs were unable to dodge and were pierced by the immortal swords, leaving holes in them.

The Flame Tribe fighter was shocked.

His main body continued to chase after Yi Chen while controlling the punctured fireballs to intercept him furiously.

Unfortunately, Yi Chen’s mind was sharp as well.

He controlled the dozens of immortal swords to defend while quickly swinging his own sword, actively charging towards one of the fireballs before it could surround him.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A series of Sword Energy struck first, cutting the already-pierced fireball into sparks.

Yi Chen’s body then passed through the blockade, continuing to evade the Flame Tribe fighter’s pursuit.

The dozens of immortal swords, under his command, launched another fierce attack on the fireballs.

With the assault from the immortal swords, the already-damaged fireballs suffered further strikes and were left in ruins.

The Flame Tribe fighter felt helpless.

He could only control those fireballs to return to his main body.

This round of attack not only failed to intercept and defeat Yi Chen, but it also caused immense energy loss due to the fireballs taking heavy damage.

The spectators in the stands were a bit anxious.

On the surface, it still appeared that the Flame Tribe fighter had the advantage due to his natural talent, suppressing Yi Chen and maintaining control.

However, because Yi Chen was faster and could attack without physical contact, it was actually the Flame Tribe fighter who was at a disadvantage.

If the Flame Tribe fighter continued to struggle to find a way to counter Yi Chen, he would inevitably fall into a state of continuous depletion.

Once his energy was exhausted, defeat would be certain.

"It’s over, it feels like I’m going to lose!"

"I knew something was off; if there was no confidence, how could the odds stay at one to two?"

"The consequences of chasing high odds are indeed to pay the price!"

The spectators were all extremely frustrated.

Only a small number of those who bet on Yi Chen’s victory secretly rejoiced.

Because based on past battles, the Flame Tribe fighter’s most commonly used attack method was to transform into Flames.

When facing a strong opponent, he would release more than ten fireballs for an attack.

Although the Flame Tribe fighter might have other hidden cards, this Tree-Dwelling Tribe fighter named Clay might also have those yet to be revealed.

At least for now, he held the advantage with better odds than the Flame Tribe fighter.
