"What a speed, it seems those Nine Shadows are just as I expected..."
Chen Ping smiled faintly. These past few days, he had been pondering Watanabe Ichiro's Nine Shadow Sword Technique and had made some progress.

Bang!

Ichiro Watanabe's swift figure flashed past, followed by a powerful punch landing heavily on Chen Ping's body.
Chen Ping did not dodge, but instead directly gave up and let Ichirō Yamada hit him.
Chen Ping's figure swayed twice, not suffering any harm at all.
Watanabe Ichiro, on the other hand, felt a tingling sensation in his arm. He stood at a distance, coldly observing Chen Ping.
"As I thought, the faster you go, the weaker you become. You can't have both power and speed at the same time. Your so-called Nine Shadow Clones sacrifice power for speed, and now it seems like nothing more than a useless gimmick…"
Chen Ping sneered at Watanabe Ichiro.
Ichiro Watanabe's doppelganger was merely an illusion caused by his incredible speed, blinding everyone's eyes.
"Do you really think you've seen through my Nine Shadow Sword Technique?"
After Watanabe Ichiro finished speaking, his arm trembled and he directly drew out the Cicada Wing Sword. A faint light emanated from the sword, and after a surge of energy was injected into it, the sword's radiance suddenly expanded, emitting a tremor-like humming sound.
"What? You're already a defeated soldier, and you still want to use the same tactics against me?"
Chen Ping's eyes showed disdain, then with a wave of his hand, the Zhanlong Sword appeared in his hand.
"Hmph, this isn't the arena today. You forgot I have help..."
After Watanabe Ichiro finished speaking, three men in black behind him suddenly threw off their black robes, revealing golden armor that shone like the sun. With their masks, they looked just like three golden warriors.
Three figures in black, their golden armor gleaming under the sun, began to emit three dazzling beams of light. All three beams converged upon the katana held by Watanabe Ichiro.
Watanabe Ichiro's sword in his hand began to emit a menacing aura, the blade's radiance expanding several dozen feet.

Chen Ping frowned slightly. At this moment, he could feel the murderous aura emanating from the sword in Ichiro Watanabe's hand, which made him feel uneasy!
"This time, why don't you try my Nine Shadow Sword Technique..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Watanabe Ichiro's body shot up suddenly. Then, with a sword thrusting through the air, a terrifying sword glow instantly appeared before Chen Ping.
Chen Ping suddenly felt a hint of danger. The flames on his Dragon Slaying Sword rose, and he swung it out with a sudden force!
< rumbling…… >
Two sword energies collided, sending Chen Ping's body flying backward with immense force. The small island was as if a bomb had exploded on it, and a deep pit over ten meters appeared from the impact. Trees flew everywhere.
"Chen..." Andrew rushed forward to check on Chen Ping's condition.
Chen Ping stood up with a disheveled appearance, though he was messy and embarrassed, he was unharmed.
"I didn't expect your flesh to be so tough..."
To Iwabuchi's surprise, Chen Ping was unharmed.
"Ichiro Watanabe, this is a competition! You secretly arranged people beforehand, aren't you breaking the rules..."
Andrew accused Watanabe Ichirō.
"Haha, what rules? When I kill you all, I will be the winner. The rules are made by the winner…"
Watanabe Ichiro laughed heartily.
"Don't get cocky too soon. The two of us working together, even if you have help, what can you do..."
Andrew roared in fury, and immediately his form began to swell. Hair sprouted with alarming speed all over his body.
Andrew is about to transform into his best fighting state...
Watanabe Ichiro frowned. If he let Chen Ping and Andrew team up, he would be in real trouble.
"What the hell are you all standing there for? Now, get your hands on them and kill them all........ "
Ichiro Watanabe commanded the samurai he had brought with him.
