One Person: Revitalize the Sword Sect, Start with the Sword Challenge of the Ten Lords

"Yuan Tao, water can adapt to everything and can also surpass everything. Today, I will let you see this limit beyond your imagination!" Ye Lin's voice was filled with unquestionable conviction. The water dragon seemed to understand his command and suddenly accelerated, colliding head-on with the Ice and Fire Purgatory Pearl.

boom!

The sky and the earth changed color, the air seemed to freeze in that moment, and everything around was pushed and shaken by the aftermath of this force, and it was on the verge of collapse. However, just when everyone thought that the situation would be a lose-lose situation, the water dragon miraculously wrapped around the Ice and Fire Purgatory Pearl and slowly absorbed it into its body.

"This... how is it possible!" Yuan Tao was so shocked that his hand holding the beads began to tremble. He looked at this scene in disbelief. The pride and confidence in his heart suffered an unprecedented impact at this moment.

Ye Lin slowly landed on the ground, a faint smile on his face. He looked at Yuan Tao not far away and said in a calm yet powerful voice, "Water is both soft and strong. Remember, everything has its own way. Only by following nature can you achieve success."

"You...the contest between us is not over yet!" Yuan Tao gritted his teeth. Although he was at a disadvantage at the moment, his indomitable spirit and fighting spirit were even more intense.

There was a glint of ruthlessness in Yuan Tao's eyes, and his fingers tightly grasped the Ice and Fire Purgatory Bead. The light on the bead flickered, as if it was accumulating more powerful energy.

He roared, and all the spiritual energy in his body suddenly rushed towards the bead. In an instant, a more violent fire and ice force than before intertwined into a vortex and swept towards Ye Lin.

"Ye Lin, accept this baptism of ice and fire!" Yuan Tao's voice was mixed with unquestionable determination, as if he wanted to pour all his resentment and anger into this final blow.

Just as the devastating force was about to reach Ye Lin, a plump little hand suddenly reached out, and a round water ball silently merged into the raging energy flow. Fatty's chubby face was full of seriousness, and his little eyes were rolling around, making him look particularly clever.

"Brother Ye, let me help you! Fire the water bomb!" Along with Fatty's childish but firm words, the water ball that incorporated his little ingenuity miraculously exploded in the center of the vortex of ice and fire, forming a thick water curtain that cushioned most of the impact force.

Ye Lin's lips curled up into an appreciative smile as he glided through the water, using its flexibility to neutralize the remaining attacks. He murmured to himself, as if sighing, "It seems that following the ways of nature always yields unexpected rewards."

Yuan Tao was stunned to see his attack once again neutralized, his frustration growing even greater. But at that moment, he suddenly noticed something strange happening in the Ice Fire Purgatory Orb in his hand. A warm yet cold aura surged from the orb, running down his arm and straight into his heart.

"This... this is..." Yuan Tao's face showed horror. The strange energy made him feel both painful and tempted, as if something was resonating with the depths of his soul.

Ye Lin noticed something was wrong with Yuan Tao and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to go forward to investigate, he heard Fatty calling anxiously from behind him, "Brother Ye Lin, be careful! There seems to be something wrong with that bead!"

Before he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and the sky suddenly darkened, as if an unknown force was approaching this world. Ye Lin's eyes were sharp, and he understood something in an instant. He shouted in a deep voice, "Stand back, Fatty. This Ice and Fire Purgatory Pearl doesn't seem to be simple."

"Damn it! I won't give up!" Yuan Tao gritted his teeth, suppressing the surging energy within him as he struggled to gain a firm footing. But the force grew increasingly uncontrollable, enveloping him in a shimmer of light and shadow.

Just as Ye Lin and Fatty were looking warily at Yuan Tao who was surrounded by strange energy, two figures rushed over from the dust in the distance like lightning and arrived in an instant.

The visitors were Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu from Mount Longhu. They both had serious expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had noticed the unusual fluctuations here.

"Young friend Ye Lin, what happened here?" Lu Jin asked in a deep voice, his eyes piercing through the wind and sand, looking directly at Yuan Tao who was distorted by the light.

Seeing that it was Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu, Ye Lin felt relieved and quickly recounted the previous situation. After listening, Lu Jin frowned and nodded to Zhang Lingyu. The two exchanged glances, showing a tacit understanding.

"Quan Xing's methods are becoming more and more bizarre. Ye Lin, you step aside and rest first. Leave this to us." After Lu Jin finished speaking, he flashed and approached Yuan Tao in an instant. The talisman of Tongtian Lu had already taken shape in his hand, flashing with mysterious light.

"Brother Ye Lin, let's step back." Fatty tugged at Ye Lin's sleeve, his face full of nervousness, yet also a resolute expression. Ye Lin nodded, and the two of them retreated to a safe distance, waiting to see what would happen.

Lu Jin used his ultimate move. He shouted loudly: "'Thunder Clouds Shocking Dragon' from the 'Tongtian Talisman'!" Dark clouds rolled in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a giant dragon formed by the gathering of talismans roared out and rushed towards the strange energy around Yuan Tao, trying to suppress it in one fell swoop.

Zhang Lingyu, on the other hand, was light as a feather. He leaped into the air, formed seals with his hands, and murmured, "Pure Yang body, thunder shaking the nine heavens, Yang Wu Lei·Qingzhe!" As he finished speaking, dazzling golden light surged from his palms, transforming into countless tiny but powerful lightning bolts, which shot densely towards Yuan Tao, trying to break through the ominous force from the other side.

"Hmph, a mere junior from Longhu Mountain, you dare to show off your skills in front of me!" A cold voice suddenly rang out, and then a black-robed figure slowly emerged from the glow. It was none other than Yuan Tao, controlled by Quan Xing. His eyes gleamed with a madness not his own, and a sneer curled his lips.

"Old Lu Jin, it's been many years since we last met. It seems that you haven't mastered the Tongtian Talisman yet." The man in black robe sneered, and quickly formed seals with his hands. He actually dissolved Lu Jin's Thunder Dragon and Zhang Lingyu's Yang Five Thunders one by one. The surrounding space was distorted by the collision of energy.

"Yuan Tao, you have been controlled by Quan Xing, wake up quickly!" Zhang Lingyu said sternly, and the Yang Wu Lei gathered again, preparing to launch a new round of offensive.

"Awake? Haha, I've already seen through the hypocrisy and cruelty of this world. Only strength can bring true liberation!" Yuan Tao laughed wildly, and the aura emanating from his body became even more violent. The light surrounding him suddenly surged, and he was actually going to meet the attacks of the two head-on.

"Zhang Lingyu, step back!" Lu Jin shouted and reacted almost at the same time. He grabbed Zhang Lingyu's shoulders and threw him to a safe area with all his strength.

This move not only protected Zhang Lingyu, but also demonstrated Lu Jin's determination to risk everything. Zhang Lingyu rolled several times in the air and landed steadily, looking at the center of the battle with a serious expression.

As Zhang Lingyu was safely transferred, Lu Jin's figure suddenly expanded, and lightning surrounded him. He took a deep breath, spread his hands, and shouted loudly: "Tongtian Talisman - Thunder Prison is coming!" As soon as the words fell, the sky seemed to respond to his call, dark clouds rolled, thunder roared, and among the dense dark clouds, countless lightning gathered to form a sea of thunder, rushing down and bombarding the position where Yuan Tao was.

"Is that all you have? You want me, Yuan Tao, to surrender?" Facing the overwhelming thunder and lightning, Yuan Tao was not afraid at all. Instead, he became even more arrogant. His black robe rustled and he suddenly waved his hands. A dark energy that was more powerful than before emerged and transformed into a giant dark claw that covered the sky and the sun. It clashed fiercely with the sea of thunder and lightning. The two collided with a deafening roar, and the surrounding rocks were shattered into pieces by this force.

"Power is the key to mastering everything!" Yuan Tao's voice echoed in the thunder and black fog, appearing more and more distorted and crazy.
