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

"You two, I will remember today's grudge and will repay you one by one in the future."

Shen Chong's voice came through the smoke, with a bit of unwillingness and determination. Suddenly, a strong wave of wind element broke out from the center of the smoke. It turned out that Shen Chong had caused a small storm with himself as the center. The smoke was blown away in an instant, and he himself took advantage of the storm's cover and turned into a shadow, escaping into the depths of the dense forest.

"Want to leave? That's not that easy!" Ye Lin shouted coldly, tapped his toes lightly, and moved as fast as lightning, chasing after him relentlessly.

Seeing this, Xiao Zizai was unwilling to fall behind. The two of them followed Shen Chong, one in front and one behind, like a shadow, vowing to capture him.

A moment later, deep in the dense forest, at the entrance of a hidden cave, Shen Chong leaned against the wall, his breathing slightly disordered, clearly having consumed a great deal of energy from the series of actions just now. Meanwhile, Ye Lin and Xiao Zizai were slowly approaching, their eyes filled with both enjoyment of the battle and a hint of respect for their formidable foe.

"Shen Chong, surrender, you have no way to retreat." Ye Lin lowered the sword in his hand gently, with a barely perceptible regret in his tone.

"Haha, surrender? You think you can trap me like this?" Shen Chong laughed a little awkwardly, but he still pretended to be calm. "Don't forget, I, Shen Chong, am known as the 'Phantom Hunter'. In this forest, I am the king!"

"Oh? Really? Then we'd like to see how you, the 'king', continue your hunting with our cooperation." Xiao Zizai smiled slightly, the sword in his hand flashing a cold light in the sunlight, and he approached step by step.

"Join forces? Humph, then I'll let you see my true abilities!" Shen Chong stomped his feet violently, and suddenly the light in the cave became brighter. An ancient and powerful force surged out from his body, trying to break through by force!

"What?! This power..." Ye Lin's face changed, he felt an unprecedented crisis.

"It seems that there will be new variables in today's battle." Xiao Zizai narrowed his eyes, with excitement and desire for challenge in his eyes.

"Hmph, come on! Let the heaven and earth bear witness that my oath, Shen Chong, is not in vain!" Shen Chong's voice resounded through the cave like thunder, and the Qi surrounding his body formed vortexes, shaking the surrounding stones, as if even the space was shaken.

A cold smile played at the corner of Xiao Zizai's mouth. Faced with such overwhelming power, he didn't retreat, but instead became even more determined to fight. "Alright! Then let me, Xiao, teach you the true path of strength!" The tip of his sword trembled slightly, and he unfurled his body, like a flash of lightning, streaking through the sky, aiming straight at Shen Chong's vital point.

Seeing this, Ye Lin was secretly shocked by the two men's strength, but he didn't panic. Instead, his eyes became sharper. He knew that in this battle, calmness and wisdom were the key. Ye Lin quietly mobilized the Qi within his body, preparing to search for that fleeting flaw.

"Brother Shen, although you are strong, don't forget that fighting does not rely solely on strength." Ye Lin's words were ambiguous. Although his voice was soft, it was clearly heard by Shen Chong and Xiao Zizai during the gap between their fierce fight.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chong slowed his attack, a trace of deep thought flashing across his eyes. Indeed, pure brute force wasn't omnipotent, especially when facing a seasoned opponent like Xiao Zizai, strategy was equally essential.

"Ye Lin is right. Strength is only a means, not everything. I am willing to play a game of wisdom and courage with you." Xiao Zizai's sword moves suddenly changed from fierce to agile. Each strike seemed random, but contained a mystery.

The battle entered a white-hot stage. The figures of the three people intertwined with each other. Sometimes the sword light flashed, and sometimes the Qi waves surged. The whole cave seemed to have turned into a huge training ground, testing their will, skills and wisdom.

Just when the battle seemed to be at a stalemate, the ancient and powerful power in Shen Chong's body suddenly fluctuated, and an indescribable pressure emanated from him, making the air in the cave seem to solidify.

"Xiao Zizai, Ye Lin, are you ready to face the real storm?" Shen Chong's voice was filled with unquestionable determination. The aura that was already extremely powerful rose again, as if it was about to break through some limit.

Xiao Zizai and Ye Lin exchanged a glance. Without further ado, their mutual understanding and trust were fully revealed in that moment. They knew that the next blow would determine the outcome of this battle and even affect the fate of all three.

"Come on, Shen Chong! Let our battle become a legend!" Xiao Zizai responded loudly, pointing his sword to the sky, exuding an extremely sharp aura.

"Legend? That depends on who can be the last one to dominate the world!" Shen Chong laughed loudly, and the Qi waves all over his body rolled up, gathering into a torrent of energy that could destroy the world and rush straight towards him.

And Ye Lin, in this tense and intense moment, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had found the decisive flaw...

"Remember, the real winners are always those who can seize opportunities." Ye Lin whispered, his body suddenly accelerated, and he inserted into the battle group from an incredible angle, aiming directly at the delicate balance point that the two had ignored.

The Qi field around Shen Chong instantly solidified, as if it had turned into substance, forming an invisible barrier that deflected Ye Lin's sudden attack.

"Ye Lin, your sharpness impresses me, but in this decisive battle, any negligence will be fatal!" His words contained some praise, but more of the passion for battle.

Ye Lin dodged Shen Chong's counterattack with ease, a playful smile on his face: "Negligence? I won't give anyone that opportunity."

After saying that, he launched another attack. This time, his target was clear, aiming directly at the tiny crack in Shen Chong's defense. That was the confidence in his previous smile.

At the same time, Xiao Zizai's movements became incredibly swift. With a flick of his hands, he removed the blindfold, revealing eyes gleaming crimson. Instantly, a frenzied aura filled the air. His pupils, like two blazing flames, watched every subtle shift on the battlefield. "It seems it's time to show you the real me!" Xiao Zizai, who usually appeared lazy and unfocused, now exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

The battle between Shen Chong and Ye Lin paused for a moment because of Xiao Zi's sudden change. Both of them couldn't help but look at him. Even they couldn't help but be moved by the fighting spirit that came from the depths of his soul.

"Xiao Zizai, what are you doing..." For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in Shen Chong's voice that was difficult to conceal.

Xiao Zizai did not answer, but a hint of cunning flashed in his red eyes. The next second, he shot out, not attacking anyone, but weaving through the gaps between the two people's attacks in an incredible way, actually using the aftermath of their battle to form a new storm.
