Chapter 328: A Narrow Escape from Death?
Facing this inescapable, overwhelmingly powerful Ninth Spirit Skill, there was not a trace of fear in Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes, only a cold, extreme serenity and an understanding of his own Dao of the sword.
He did not retreat; instead, he took a step forward.
"Seven Kill Domain, open!"
As a low shout fell, a terrifying Killing Intent, thick as blood and chilling to the bone, instantly spread out with Sword Douluo at its center. It directly locked onto and neutralized a portion of the pressure released by Demon Subduing Douluo, while greatly enhancing the sharpness and penetrating power of his own Sword Qi!
This was a Domain that Sword Douluo Chen Xin had realized himself. Within this Domain, except for himself, everyone's attack power would be weakened by thirty percent.
Immediately after, the Seven Kill Sword in his hand emitted a hum of extreme excitement!
"Seventh Spirit Ability—Seven Kill True Body!"
The next second, behind Chen Xin, a massive phantom identical to his own body, yet ten zhang tall and composed entirely of silver Sword Qi condensed to the extreme, suddenly emerged!
In the phantom's hand, it held a Seven Kill Sword magnified countless times!
On the blade, the Seven Kill Sword Qi condensed into a solid form!
Having unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, Sword Douluo's Aura instantly surged.
Man and sword, intent and soul, perfectly unified!
Facing the blood-colored giant rod crashing down, Sword Douluo gripped the Seven Kill Sword with both hands, the tip pointing obliquely at the sky, as the eighth black Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly shone with a profound light!
"Seven Kill Thunder rises, one sword breaks the sky!"
"Eighth Spirit Ability—Moving Mountains and Filling Seas!"
This was one of Sword Douluo's strongest single-target Spirit Abilities. By condensing his lifelong Sword Intent and vast Soul Power into a single point, it possessed the terrifying power to shake mountains and overturn rivers!
With a sharp shout, the massive Seven Kill Sword in the Seven Kill True Body's hand suddenly transformed into a silver thread condensed to the extreme, as if capable of slicing through space and time, or like a celestial river waterfall flowing against the current. Without dodging or evading, carrying an indomitable will to cut through all techniques, it met the blood-colored giant rod descending from the sky head-on!
Sword against rod!
Extreme sharpness against extreme weight!
"Rumble—!!!"
The silver sword waterfall and the blood-colored giant rod collided head-on in the mid-air of the side hall, without any fancy tricks!
Words cannot describe the terrifying explosion of energy at this moment!
The next second, blinding silver and red light instantly swallowed that space, and a massive ball of energy expanded rapidly, blowing off and annihilating the hall's roof!
A deafening roar, as if two Worlds were colliding, echoed throughout the entire palace! The violent energy shockwave spread in a ring, shattering and scattering the remaining walls and beams of the side hall!
Some black-clad Soul Masters who were too close didn't even have time to scream before being instantly reduced to blood mist by the terrifying aftermath! Even Tang Xiao and Thousand Jun Douluo, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, had to temporarily stop and channel their Soul Power to resist this destructive energy storm!
The light and roaring continued for several breaths before slowly dissipating.
In mid-air, the phantom of the giant blood-colored Coiling Dragon Rod was already covered in fine cracks, and finally shattered with a bang, dissipating into spots of light across the sky.
Demon Subduing Douluo himself let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and the arm holding the rod trembled slightly. It was clear he had suffered a minor disadvantage in the earth-shattering clash just now.
He never expected that his Ninth Spirit Skill would be head-on broken by Sword Douluo's Eighth Spirit Ability combined with the Seven Kill True Body and the power of his Domain!
Conversely, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, although the light of his Seven Kill True Body had dimmed significantly and his face was somewhat pale from the massive consumption, still stood with his sword, his posture as straight as a pine, his gaze as sharp as before.
"Forgot to tell you, after that kid Tang Chuan helped me reattach my arm."
"My Soul Power has now broken through to level ninety-seven!"
Seeing that the two Enshrined, Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing, were gradually being suppressed by Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo under the amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and that even Demon Subduing Douluo's Ninth Spirit Skill had been forcibly broken by Sword Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, who had been watching from the sidelines waiting for an opportunity, could finally no longer hold back!
"What a Clear Sky Sect! What a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"Today, no matter what, we will slaughter you all here!"
Snake Lance Douluo's eyes flashed with cold light, and then he exchanged a look with Porcupinefish Douluo. Almost simultaneously, their figures flickered like two ghostly streams of light, rushing toward Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo, who had just repelled their opponents and whose breaths were slightly fluctuating!
The Snake Lance in Snake Lance Douluo's hand transformed into a tricky and vicious emerald cold light, stabbing directly at the slight flank opening that Tang Xiao had exposed due to executing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method!
Porcupinefish Douluo's body swelled up like a giant poisonous gas balloon, and carrying foul-smelling poisonous mist and sharp thorns, he ferociously rammed into the recovering Sword Douluo Chen Xin!
The addition of two Titled Douluo instantly caused the pressure on Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo to soar!
They had already been locked in a fierce battle with Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing for a long time, and their consumption was immense.
Facing the sneak attacks from Snake Lance and Porcupinefish at this moment, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!
However, that was not all!
At the very same instant that Snake Lance and Porcupinefish struck, from the shadows in the corner of the side hall, two more incomparably powerful Titled Douluo Auras erupted without warning!
"Swish! Swish!"
The next second, two blurred figures suddenly sprang up like venomous snakes that had been lurking for a long time!
On their bodies, nine Soul Rings of the best configuration—Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black—were circling! Although the Soul Power fluctuations on their bodies seemed slightly inferior to the Enshrined, the majestic pressure belonging to Titled Douluo could not be faked!
These two were clearly experts secretly mobilized by Spirit Hall and lurking here, and now they had finally bared their fangs! Their goal was extremely clear: to cooperate with the other four Titled Douluo and kill or severely injure the exhausted Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo as quickly as possible!
Four Titled Douluo, plus Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing, who were only slightly at a disadvantage and could return at any moment, along with the countless black-clad Soul Masters eyeing them hungrily from the outside... Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo were instantly plunged into a desperate situation of being besieged by six Titled Douluo-level enemies!
Although Ning Fengzhi's support was strong, facing such a huge disparity in top-tier combat power, it was already futile!
Inside the side hall, the Killing Intent had already become extremely thick!
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the palace, the earth-shattering roar coming from the direction of the side hall, followed by the subsequent, unmasked fluctuations of numerous Titled Douluo-level Soul Power, were like thunder in the night, instantly alarming the Five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect who were waiting anxiously outside the palace gate.
They had originally been ordered to stay outside to provide support and remain vigilant. Now, feeling that familiar yet violent Clear Sky Hammer Soul Power fluctuation, and the numerous palpitating hostile Auras, the expressions of the Five Elders changed drastically!
"Not good!" The Seventh Elder, who had the most explosive temper, was the first to roar: "The Sect Master is being ambushed inside! And there are at least four or more Titled Douluo enemies!"
"The Sect Master is in danger! We cannot wait any longer!" The Second Elder made a decisive decision, a terrifying gleam erupting in his aged eyes, and said: "Everyone, listen to my orders! Follow me in and rescue the Sect Master!"
"Yes!" The other four Elders responded in unison, their Soul Power erupting instantly, and five powerful Auras shot into the sky, ready to break through toward the side hall at all costs!
However, they had only rushed forward a few steps.
"Halt! This is a Forbidden Land of the palace; trespassers will be killed!"
The palace guards, who had previously appeared to be just ordinary sentries, suddenly surged out from all directions like magic, including many Soul Douluo-level Soul Masters, and several experts with obscure Auras hidden in the formation! They formed a tight formation, their Soul Power lights connecting into one piece like a wall of bronze and iron, rudely blocking the path of the Five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect!
"Get lost!" Seeing this, the Third Elder roared, raised his hand and gripped it, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his palm.
"By order of the Crown Prince, no one is allowed to approach the side hall area! Violators will be executed!" The guard commander's voice was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Kill our way in!" The Fifth Elder was furious, knowing that words were useless, and directly smashed a hammer over!
"Boom!" The guard formation shone brightly, taking the blow head-on. Although the formation swayed, it did not collapse. Immediately after, countless Spirit Ability lights erupted from the guard formation, covering the Five Elders!
The Five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect were forced to fight back, and immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the palace guards!
Hammer shadows crisscrossed, Spirit Abilities bombarded each other, and the scene was equally fierce!
Although they were powerful, the enemy was numerous and defended in formation, so for a moment, they were unable to break through quickly! They could only listen helplessly to the increasingly intense sounds of battle from the direction of the side hall, burning with anxiety!
Internal trouble and external distress, rescue blocked!
Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and the others were now trapped in a desperate situation, isolated and facing a narrow escape from death!
