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

In the last moment before the two powerful energies collided, the air became silent as if all the air had been drained away.

The minotaur roared, his eyes wide as bells. His muscles swelled to their limit, and the great axe in his hand began to emit a deep, dark light. It was a sense of power that was almost suffocating, as if the entire space was twisting and trembling at his roar. The great axe quickly absorbed all the surrounding light, transforming into an all-consuming black dot, rushing straight towards Ye Lin's position.

At that moment, the originally quiet space was suddenly disturbed by a powerful wave. As the minotaur's axe got closer and closer to Ye Lin's position, every tiny particle in the surrounding air seemed to be drawn into this force, emitting a slight but clearly audible hissing sound.

"You... don't think about defeating me so easily!" The Minotaur said gritting his teeth. Every step he took made the earth tremble. The only remaining fighting spirit in his heart was completely ignited at this moment.

At that moment, the minotaur's size began to undergo a drastic transformation. His muscles expanded like balloons, the veins beneath his skin visible, almost bursting, his entire body bulging like a mountain. He let out a deafening roar, as if drowning out all other sounds in the world with this bestial roar.

"Humph! Do you think you can scare me just by getting bigger?"

A cold smile curled Ye Lin's lips, but his eyes burned with determination and calmness. He quickly gathered the scattered swords back into his hands. As if drawn by some mysterious force, these weapons slashed through the air, creating smooth, sharp streaks of light before merging perfectly into a transcendent weapon radiating a faint blue glow. "Come on! Let's see who's stronger, your strength or my sword!"

After saying that, the young man who looked weak but actually possessed extraordinary skills suddenly jumped up and turned into a sharp stream of light rushing towards the giant monster!

Ye Lin raised high in his hand the new weapon "Thunderous Fury" which was the essence of many swords, and slashed forward fiercely!

The air suddenly seemed to be cut apart, accompanied by a piercing scream, and the invisible yet powerful force wave caused everything around to become distorted...

“Roar!!” The Minotaur sensed an unprecedented threat and instinctively defended himself with all his might: his two rock-hard arms quickly crossed in front of him, attempting to withstand the devastating blow.

"Snap—boom..."

A dazzling light erupted from the point of collision, followed by a terrifying earthquake... The entire battle scene instantly fell into a brief but intense silence...

A few breaths later, as the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the once majestic landscape was left with only a devastated landscape. The figure standing nearby was no longer the arrogant giant; it now knelt on one knee, panting heavily, its body covered in deep wounds, large and small, visible to the bone... It was clearly at a complete disadvantage.

"How is it possible... I actually... lost to a human... such a weak creature..." Even at this point, this once invincible being still refused to accept the reality of defeat; however, the last bit of strength in his body was gradually draining away...

Ye Lin slowly put away the longsword in his hand. "Little Bullhead, it's quite commendable that you were able to withstand my full-strength attack and survive." He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the figure in front of him, who was in a state of disgrace but still unruly. "But... you'd better understand the situation - from today on, you no longer belong to yourself."

Before he finished speaking, a breath so powerful that it could suffocate everything burst out from Ye Lin's body.

"If I defeat you, I'll gain the secrets of the Tyrant Scripture, right? Then let's fight!" Those words, filled with domineering and authoritative power, lingered in every corner of the Minotaur's heart like a spell, making him feel a panic he had never felt before...

"You...where are you from? How do you possess such terrifying abilities..." The Minotaur couldn't help but ask while struggling to stand up.

Ye Lin didn't answer directly, but just smiled calmly: "There are many secrets in the world that not everyone deserves to know. As for who I am, it doesn't matter."

The minotaur panted heavily, his eyes burning with resentment and despair. Though his body was covered in wounds, an inexplicable force rekindled his resolve. "Damn human, did you think I would just give in like this?!" the minotaur roared, his voice tinged with grief and indignation.

Then, all the air in the place seemed to be drained away by some force, leaving an eerie silence. The massive minotaur warrior clasped his hands together before his chest and began chanting an ancient, obscure syllable. As the spell grew faster and faster, the temperature around him plummeted several degrees. It was clear he was performing some extremely dangerous, energy-consuming, forbidden magic!

Soon, a beam of red light slowly rose from his hand and gradually covered his entire body, forming a solid and eerie red armor. This process lasted for a very short time. Almost in the blink of an eye, the figure that had been withering once again glowed with unprecedented vitality and fighting power.

"Hmph! Look! I'm going to use all my strength to tear you to pieces!!!" The minotaur armed with blood-red armor had an even more ferocious look on his face. After a roar, he rushed towards the calm figure in the distance like a wild horse, and the ground cracked into countless tiny cracks under his trampling.

Seeing the opponent's swift attack, Ye Lin didn't show much surprise or panic. On the contrary, a hint of admiration flashed across his face. "Interesting." With that, he quickly dodged and moved to the side, perfectly avoiding the fatal attack.

However, the battle had only just begun. Before anyone could recover from their shock, the monster in red armor had already adjusted its stance and prepared to launch a second, even more fierce attack.

The Minotaur sought a quick victory, his entire body seemingly brimming with boundless energy. He swung his massive fist and attacked again, a thunderous roar filling the air. Facing such a ferocious attack, Ye Lin remained calm and composed, his fingers gently tracing arcs and traces in the air, creating mysterious paths. "Destroy the evil!"

As those two simple words fell, countless silver-white runes suddenly appeared in the void ahead. With astonishing speed, they converged to form the shadow of a gigantic longsword, gleaming with holy light, which thrust forward. The instantaneous collision erupted, creating a deafening roar and a cloud of dust that obscured everyone's view...

After the dust settled, people were able to see the latest situation on the field: the person who had been so arrogant and wanted to turn the situation around and win the victory was now half-kneeling on the ground, covered with scars and breathing rapidly; on the contrary, the person who had always remained indifferent and had no emotional fluctuations was still standing there as steady as a mountain.
