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

"Yuan Tao, don't think you're the only one who can use the opponent's force to counterattack!" As soon as Ye Lin finished speaking, he suddenly accelerated. The Sword of Exorcism seemed to transform into a flash of lightning, piercing through the shadows of the dragons and heading straight for Yuan Tao's heart. However, just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the shield, the Nine Dragons Body Guard suddenly twisted and deformed, deflecting the sword energy.

"It seems that it's time for you to witness the true power of the Nine Dragon Formation!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yuan Tao's eyes, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. Nine dragon shadows circled around him, getting faster and faster, and finally turned into a tornado, raging wildly in all directions. Wherever it went, the space seemed to be torn into pieces.

At this critical moment, Handan in the distance seemed to feel the urgency of the battle. A cunning look flashed in its eyes, and it suddenly opened its mouth wide. Two thick streams of water shot towards Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu like cannonballs, obviously trying to distract Ye Lin's attention.

"Be careful!" Ye Lin's heart tightened, but he could only watch helplessly as the water bullet rapidly approached the two defenseless people. At this moment, a cyan figure suddenly jumped out. It was Lu Jin. Her clothes fluttered, and the long whip in her hand turned into an emerald green light curtain, easily splitting the powerful water bullet in two, defusing the crisis.

"What a clever little guy, but it's a little early for you to play this trick in front of me." Zhang Lingyu smiled. He didn't make a move, but just waved his hand. The air around him seemed to freeze for a moment, and the remaining water bullets paused strangely in the air, and then slowly dissipated.

Feeling the warm support coming from behind, Ye Lin's worries eased a little. He took a deep breath and refocused his gaze on Yuan Tao. "Yuan Tao, it's time to end this!"

Ye Lin's figure transformed into countless figures once again. The Sword of Exorcism, carrying the sound of breaking through the air, transformed into a series of sword beams, attacking Yuan Tao's Nine Dragon Body Guard with an impenetrable force. This time, the sword's intent contained not only fierceness, but also a sense of open-mindedness that transcended life and death.

"Come on, let me see your limit!" Yuan Tao's laughter echoed in the wind, and the light of the Nine Dragons Body Protection reached its peak, as if it was going to compete with Ye Lin's sword light.

Ye Lin's figure suddenly paused, and the tip of his sword lightly touched the ground. A powerful sword energy spread out from under his feet, surging like a raging wave.

With a flash of sword light, his sword force suddenly changed. The sword shadows that were originally as dense as stars gathered into a dazzling dragon, roaring straight into the sky, and then suddenly swooped down, aiming directly at Yuan Tao's dazzling nine-dragon body protection.

"Even the nine dragons guarding the sky cannot withstand the power of my sword!" Ye Lin growled, his tone full of persistence and confidence in the way of the sword.

Yuan Tao's expression remained unchanged. Nine-colored auras swirled around him, each representing an ancient legend. The nine dragons seemed to be imbued with life, roaring and charging towards the attacking stegosaurus. The two collided in mid-air, erupting in a blinding burst of light. The entire world seemed to be torn apart by the blow, and a raging wind blew, sending sand and rocks flying.

Meanwhile, Handan, facing the combined attacks of Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu, seemed surprisingly at ease. Despite his clumsy build, he always managed to deftly dodge at the crucial moment, occasionally deliberately revealing a flaw, eliciting an even more intense attack from both men, though his attempts always came up empty. Handan's carefree laughter seemed oddly out of place amidst the tense atmosphere of battle, yet strangely elicited joy.

"Hey, you two, it's not fun at all for you to chase and beat Handan like this!" Handan dodged and laughed, with a cunning light flashing in his little eyes.

Lu Jin frowned, clearly impatient with this cat-and-mouse game: "This kid is incredibly agile."

Zhang Lingyu sighed softly, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Perhaps, he is much more interesting than we thought."

Just as the battle was getting more intense, the fight between Ye Lin and Yuan Tao was also about to decide the outcome.

After the fierce collision between the sword dragon and the nine dragons, the sword dragon gradually gained the upper hand. The sharp sword energy seemed to have found the tiny flaws in the nine dragons' body protection and began to slowly erode it.

For the first time, a solemn expression crossed Yuan Tao's face. He knew that if nothing changed, he would likely face total defeat today. "Excellent, Ye Lin! You've truly surpassed my expectations. But do you think you can defeat me like this?" He quickly formed seals with his hands, and the Nine Dragons shield instantly shone brightly, transforming into a towering Nine Dragons statue, emitting a terrifying aura.

Seeing this, Ye Lin's eyes became more determined, and he lightly tapped the tip of his sword. The sword dragon seemed to feel the master's determination. With a loud bang, it turned into thousands of streams of light and went straight for the eye of the Nine Dragon Statue.

"The outcome will be decided right now!"

Ye Lin's figure was graceful, and his sword moved with his heart. The first move of the Sword of Exorcism, "Dark Moon Slash", silently cut through the air. The sword light was like a crescent moon, accurately hitting one of the dragon horns of the Nine Dragon Statue. In an instant, there was a sound of metal clashing, and the statue trembled slightly. Yuan Tao's face changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, a mere skin and fur, and you dare show off in front of me?" Yuan Tao suppressed the pain, a sneer curling his lips. Handan was extremely anxious beside him. His huge body leaped flexibly, his palms moving flexibly, repeatedly blocking the aftermath of Ye Lin's sword energy, showing his loyalty and tenacity.

"Second move, the Severing Love Technique!" Ye Lin muttered. The sword's light suddenly shifted, transforming into an extremely cold silver line that struck the Nine Dragon Statue's chest. This time, not only did the light flash, but a chill penetrated the bones, and even the air seemed to freeze with frost. Yuan Tao frowned. The Nine Dragon Statue's light dimmed slightly. His blood and qi surged, but he still managed to maintain the stability of the protective statue.

Seeing his master in pain, Handan roared, "Ye Lin, you traitor to your master and ancestors! Wait till I teach you a lesson!" He strode forward, his fists wrapped in the strength of mountains, smashing down on Ye Lin. Ye Lin sneered, his figure nimbly dodging, his sword pointing to the sky. He unleashed his third move, "Howling Wind Breaks the Clouds," and the sword's edge unleashed gusts of wind, completely neutralizing Handan's attack.

"Master is fine, Handan, step back." Yuan Tao's voice was a little weak, but still steady and powerful. Handan reluctantly stepped aside, staring intently at the scene, ready to help again at any time.

Ye Lin's swordsmanship became faster and faster, and each move targeted the weaknesses of the Nine Dragon Statue. "Sunset Glow", "Soul Chasing", "Silence and Lifelessness"... As the seven moves of the Evil-Defeating Sword Manual were displayed one by one, the Nine Dragon Statue gradually became unable to cope, and its light gradually dimmed. Fine beads of sweat oozed from Yuan Tao's forehead, and it was obvious that it was at the end of its strength.

"The last move, to ward off evil and return to the true self!" Ye Lin's voice was filled with determination, and unprecedented power gathered on the long sword, as if even the heaven and earth were attracted by this move.

The sword light surged, transforming into a dazzling beam of light, rushing straight towards the center of the Nine Dragon Statue. With a loud bang, the Nine Dragon Statue shattered, and the light scattered. Yuan Tao's figure appeared, with blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still as sharp as before.
