Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Vulnerable to a Single Blow

However, Ye Qingchen still stood in place, his gaze full of cold mockery, unmoved by the boss’s fury.

"Is that so?" Ye Qingchen’s voice remained calm, even carrying a hint of faint teasing. His gaze was as sharp as a torch, coldly watching the boss, as if the other’s anger was nothing more than a laughable struggle in his eyes.

Seeing the boss’s uncontrollable rage, Ye Qingchen’s sneer deepened even more.

He was already prepared to deal with any situation. No matter how furious the opponent was, it was difficult to change the determination in his heart.

Ye Qingchen saw the long knife in the boss’s hand flashing with a cold gleam, knowing that the opponent was no ordinary person. His expression remained unchanged, and with a thought, the wood element within his body quickly circulated and instantly merged with the surrounding environment.

He felt the life force of the surrounding trees, flowers, and plants, and it seemed they were all offering their support to him.

The boss let out a furious shout, swinging his long knife fiercely towards Ye Qingchen. The blade came slicing through the air with fierce momentum, as if intending to cut even the air apart.

However, with a slight movement of his foot, Ye Qingchen’s entire body was as light as a leaf, dodging the deadly strike. The boss’s long knife struck the ground with a loud crash, the blade cutting into the earth and tearing a deep crack in the surface.

Ye Qingchen’s hands swept across his chest, and the surrounding vegetation immediately responded to his call, as if they came to life in an instant. The grass on the ground suddenly grew wildly, and long vines encircled the boss’s legs like snakes, attempting to bind him.

The boss was startled, hurriedly swinging his knife to cut the vines, but they seemed endless, wave after wave surging towards him, bringing a great hindrance to his movements.

Although the boss was indeed powerful, facing such a bizarre situation made him appear somewhat strained.

He continuously swung his knife to sever the vines, becoming increasingly anxious. However, Ye Qingchen did not give him a moment to breathe. Ye Qingchen raised his hands once again, and the branches of the trees on the ground suddenly shot towards the boss like arrows.

The boss hastily swung his knife to parry, but one of the branches still managed to cut his arm, blood instantly staining his sleeve red.

The boss let out an angry roar, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

He summoned the True Qi within his body, exerting force suddenly, his long knife sweeping towards Ye Qingchen with blinding light. This blow was filled with the power of his whole body, and wherever the blade passed, it seemed even the air was split in two.

Ye Qingchen’s expression grew serious, his foot tapped lightly, and his figure instantly turned into a blur, evading the boss’s blade light. At the same time, his hands quickly performed hand seals, the wood element within him becoming increasingly lively, the surrounding vegetation growing even more wildly in response.

The roots on the ground emerged from the soil like giant serpents, madly entwining the boss’s limbs, while vines simultaneously lashed towards his face.

The boss, enraged, furiously swung his knife to slash the roots and vines, but Ye Qingchen had already found his weakness. Just as the boss was entangled by the vines, Ye Qingchen swiftly charged forward, pressing both hands fiercely against the boss’s chest, infusing powerful wood element into his body.

The boss only felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his True Qi was being suppressed by something within, causing his movements to slow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Qingchen quickly withdrew his hands, leaping to the side, and with a light swipe of his finger, the vines on the ground instantly tightened around the boss’s limbs, rendering him immobile.

The boss realized the dire situation, his eyes wide open in anger, his expression grim, as the True Qi within him circulated wildly.

Suddenly, the Fire Element within him exploded out.

Only to see a mass of crimson flame burst forth from his body, instantly igniting the surrounding vines and roots. The flames burned fiercely, crackling, as the burning aura rapidly spread, waves of heat surging forth, causing the temperature in the air to soar.

The vines withered and turned to ash under the blaze, allowing the boss to break free. His eyes burned with the flames of fury, his whole being resembling an enraged wild beast.

The Fire Element encircled him, the scorching heat causing the surrounding trees and plants to wither, the air filled with the scent of scorching.

The boss let out an angry roar, waving his hands, the Fire Element within instantly gathering in his palms, then suddenly struck the ground.

A blazing inferno erupted from the ground, surging towards Ye Qingchen like a tidal wave, as if intending to consume him entirely.

The flames swept in, turning the environment into a fiery red, the air filled with scorching heat, the entire space seemingly about to be torn apart by this intense fire.

Seeing this, Ye Qingchen’s gaze sharpened, quickly retreating, his toes tapping lightly, his body swiftly floating back to avoid the fiery onslaught.

However, the boss’s offensive did not stop. He once again let out a furious roar, pushing forward with his hands, a massive flaming tornado forming in his palms, the flames swirling towards Ye Qingchen, the entire space seemingly engulfed by the fire.

Ye Qingchen dared not be careless. The wood element within him circulated swiftly, his hands waving, and once again, numerous roots and vines sprouted from the ground, attempting to block this deadly fire.

However, this time the flames were extraordinarily fierce, and wherever the fire tornado passed, all the vines and roots turned to ash in an instant, the fire relentlessly pursuing Ye Qingchen.

A gleam of triumph appeared in the boss’s eyes, as if he could already see Ye Qingchen being consumed by the fire.

However, Ye Qingchen did not panic. His figure vanished from the original spot in the moment before the fire was about to strike, reappearing on the other side of the flames the next second. The fire struck nothing but air, crashing to the ground with a loud bang, leaving the surface charred black, sparks flying everywhere.

Seeing this, the boss’s anger flared even more intensely, the Fire Element in his hands becoming increasingly violent, nearly enveloping his entire being.

Again, he concentrated the fire in his hands, intending to deliver a lethal blow to Ye Qingchen.

At that moment, Ye Qingchen calmly controlled the remaining wood element around him, opposing the boss’s Fire Element.

With a flick of his finger, a beam of blue light shot from his fingertip, piercing through the fire, hitting the boss’s chest with unerring accuracy.

The blue light, carrying powerful vitality, directly disrupted the flow of the Fire Element within the boss.

The boss felt a searing pain in his chest, the Fire Element within him immediately losing control, his legs almost giving way beneath him.

The intense pain made it difficult for him to concentrate, and the flames gradually extinguished, his body teetering.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Qingchen swiftly appeared beside the boss, his palm striking down fiercely, the wood element within him pouring into the boss’s meridians, completely sealing his True Qi flow. The boss’s body trembled violently, the light of the Fire Element within him rapidly dimming, until he finally fell powerlessly to the ground, utterly losing his combat prowess.
