Thinking of her long journey and meticulous planning, finally intercepting the werewolf who posed the greatest potential threat to humanity on this sea, yet failing to gain the upper hand from the start, the surprise attack turned into a direct confrontation, Tan Yueer naturally felt some concern in her heart.

Chen Xuanfeng, suddenly attacked, would have suffered significant damage to the newly acquired Goblin Warship if not for his quick reaction, naturally he was not in a good mood. Standing high on the ship's bow, he sneered and shouted, "Hmph, so it's 'Celestial Moon Maiden', you chased quite fast. I left the elven kingdom a day earlier than you, without stopping on the way, yet you managed to get ahead of me. Instead of bewildering the high elves in the elven kingdom, what brings you here to find me?"

Tan Yueer, knowing there were no other options, naturally retorted without hesitation, "How could the lord not know my purpose, of course, it is to invite you to rest eternally beneath these waves."

As she spoke, she withdrew the power that solidified the sea surface, and the massive whirlpool immediately collapsed. The surrounding seawater poured towards the center, and in moments, the void in the sea disappeared. The clashing seawater surged up into a hundred-meter-high giant wave, roaring and churning, stirring the sea surface for several kilometers before gradually dissipating.

The "Ancient God" was originally floating in the air, and as the giant wave surged, it naturally rose with it, slowly descending back into the sea after the waves calmed. At the moment of the wave's impact, Tan Yueer, Morova, and Carol each prepared to seize the opportunity for a surprise attack, but they saw Chen Xuanfeng standing on the ship's bow, hand on the hilt of his ancient sword, his aura complete, revealing no flaws, forcing the three to have no chance to strike.

When the ship stabilized somewhat on the sea, Chen Xuanfeng spoke, "Since I dared to come to the south, naturally I have considered being surrounded by you, but to kill me, see if you have the ability." Then, he turned to look at Morova standing on the back of the phantom beast Flame Phoenix not far away, and asked, "Since you are here, has my disciple Xi Luo also come?"

Morova coldly shook his head, "No, to kill you, the three of us are enough."

Before Chen Xuanfeng could respond, Carol, the "Knight of the Desert Moon" on the other side, suddenly drew the pair of crescent moon scimitars from his waist and said, "Lord Blizzard, as warriors of the Saint Realm, the three of us joining forces to ambush you here is indeed very shameful, but today I am here to avenge my brother Lansino. I swear by these 'Blazing Crescent Moons' that I will surely kill you here."

Chen Xuanfeng sighed slightly and said, "It's nothing, we are all fighting for the future of our own nations, originally a life-and-death struggle where anything goes. When I killed your brother, it was not by fair means, and now you come for revenge, naturally there is no need to talk about fairness with me. Similarly, I will definitely not go easy on you. But before we all let loose in battle, I have one more request."

Tan Yueer, somewhat puzzled, said, "I wonder what the lord's wish is, if it is to ask us to let Miss Jin Luosha go, there is no need to say more. The 'Kingdom of Holy Love' she founded poses no less a threat to humanity than the lord himself, please forgive us for not letting her leave."

Chen Xuanfeng proudly smiled and said, "Celestial Moon Maiden jokes, even if the three of you join forces, I have the confidence to protect my own people, how could I make such a cowardly request. I am also a swordsman, what I want is merely to properly witness the legendary martial art 'Stellar Chess Sword' that can reverse cause and effect. When your fellow disciple Xue Lingpei went to the Saint Spirit Mountain, I had the heart to fight her, but unfortunately, I never found the opportunity. When we met again later, the gap between us had grown too large to make it worth fighting. This time, I finally meet you, the most orthodox heir of the 'Heavenly Sword of No Name', if I don't try it out, wouldn't it be a huge regret? If we all fight in a melee later, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to fully appreciate the sword techniques inherited from the Moonlight Tower, so I want to ask you, if I promise not to use this 'Sword of Divine Punishment', would you be willing to compete with me in swordsmanship?"

Tan Yueer did not expect that at the moment of life and death, the werewolf opposite her still had the mind to discuss martial arts. Could he really not take the three sword saints on her side seriously? Just as she was about to refuse outright, she suddenly thought that although her side knew from various intelligence that this werewolf's combat power was astonishing, only Morova had fought with him before. According to the intelligence, the other party was a knowledgeable person, having personally experienced the "Nine Saints War", fought against two previous generation sword saints, and witnessed several sword saint battles. Although he was not familiar with the Moonlight Tower lineage, he knew the martial arts of the "Flame Saint" and "Sword Saint" lineages in detail. When the fight starts, he might take advantage of this. Thinking this way, it might be better to first compete with this werewolf now, to understand his strength, and also let the two observers calculate how to strike.

Thinking of this, Tan Yueer did not hesitate, smiled and replied, "Since the lord is interested, the heir of the Moonlight Tower will naturally not disappoint the lord."

As she spoke, her slender and beautiful fingers gestured, and a pure stream of water immediately rose from the sea surface at her feet, transforming into a narrow water sword over a meter long, its blade pointing directly at Chen Xuanfeng.

Chen Xuanfeng laughed heartily, did not draw the "Sword of Divine Punishment", but reached out and plucked a silver hair about an arm's length from his sideburns. With his internal force, it immediately straightened like a sword, ringing with a metallic sound.

The two, one conjuring a sword from water, the other fashioning a blade from his hair, their eyes met, and without speaking, they directly made their moves.

Chen Xuanfeng, having cultivated for several years, spent half his effort on this "Eight Celestial Vistas Sword Technique", mastering and surpassing hundreds of unique skills and techniques, and only after repeated refinement did he achieve success. Although this only sword technique secret in the Nine Yin martial arts explicitly states "nine breaks and nine establishments", Chen Xuanfeng himself knew after cultivation that the nine words are merely a virtual number, actually meaning endlessness. The more and deeper the martial arts the practitioner sees and breaks, the more astonishing the power of this sword technique becomes, it can be said to be a martial art of endless depth. And the reason he challenged Tan Yueer's "Stellar Chess Sword" face to face was naturally to hope to use this sword technique originating from the "Progenitor of the Sword Saints" to perfect and enhance his own skills.
