Ning Fengzhi's entire body shuddered violently, jolting him awake from the overwhelming shock.
The moment he looked up, he saw Dugu Bo's withered, claw-like hand reaching toward him.
"Dugu Bo, you dare!" Sword Douluo's voice roared with extreme fury as a massive sword qi shot toward Dugu Bo.
The sword qi tore through the air, ripping open countless thin black cracks in the surrounding space.
Those were not the color of the sword qi itself, but the hue of another dimension exposed where the sword qi had shattered space.
Dugu Bo's expression turned grave. He swiftly retracted his hand, retreated several steps, and gave up on capturing Ning Fengzhi alive.
He specialized in poison. Although both were Title Douluo and their ranks only differed by two levels, Sword Douluo's sword was enough to tear his body apart.
Once a Title Douluo broke through to rank ninety-six, their strength would undergo a qualitative leap, and they would be called a Super Douluo.
"Chen Xin, you still dare to get distracted while fighting me?"
Yu Yuanzhen's voice rang out, accompanied by a terrifying surge of energy. A Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon as thick as a water tank, condensed with dreadful power, blasted toward Sword Douluo's back.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lived up to its reputation as the strongest offensive beast spirit. Even with Ning Fengzhi's amplification, Yu Yuanzhen and the other elder had suppressed Sword Douluo from the very beginning.
If not for Sword Douluo's exceptionally powerful and fierce offensive capabilities, he would have already been defeated.
In a two-against-one fight, Sword Douluo still dared to turn away to save Ning Fengzhi, naturally having to endure the enemy's attack.
"Bitch!" Bone Douluo shouted. Ignoring the attacks of his two opponents, he charged straight toward Sword Douluo's back.
Just before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon struck Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo finally arrived. He used his own body to block the terrifying attack.
In front of him, a thick and heavy bone shield rapidly condensed.
With a deafening boom, the highly compressed Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon slammed into the bone shield. The shield exploded, sending bone fragments flying in all directions.
The attacks of the other three Spirit Hall Title Douluo followed closely behind the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, mercilessly landing on Bone Douluo.
As a defense-type Title Douluo, Bone Douluo possessed extremely strong physical defense, but he couldn't withstand the simultaneous attacks of three Title Douluos of the same rank.
As the attacks landed, the sound of cracking bones rang out. Gu Rong's tall body sprayed blood as he was sent flying backward, crashing into Sword Douluo's back.
"Old Bones." Chen Xin turned around and caught his old partner. The rage in his heart nearly burst through his chest.
"Kill!" This single word carried a terrifying, vast, and majestic killing intent, instantly enveloping the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.
The voice pierced through the clouds and the night, audible several kilometers away.
The ten thousand Spirit Hall soul masters all retreated at once under this thunderous shout, their bodies turning ice-cold and their scalps tingling.
Chen Xin held Gu Rong and shot backward toward Ning Fengzhi's direction.
At the same time, the Seven Kill Sword in his hand moved. The sword brought forth a blur of sword shadows as he unleashed six consecutive strikes in one fluid motion, forming a massive "Kill" character in the air.
Every stroke of this enormous "Kill" character was pitch-black, as if it had absorbed all the light from the lanterns within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. Carrying a terrifying aura, it slashed toward Yu Yuanzhen and the other four.
"Break!" Yu Yuanzhen's expression turned solemn. Together with the other three Title Douluo, he attacked the massive "Kill" character.
This was the ultimate technique of the Seven Kill Sword spirit, something that demanded their full attention.
Chen Xin's sword qi forced Dugu Bo back. Ning Fengzhi ran toward Chen Xin's direction while Chen Xin, carrying Gu Rong, shot backward toward Ning Fengzhi.
An explosion rang out once more. The pitch-black "Kill" character disintegrated under the combined assault of the four Title Douluo.
Countless sharp sword qi scattered in all directions, riddling the ground and the surrounding ruined walls with holes.
Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi finally regrouped.
"Old Bones, how are you?" Chen Xin asked anxiously.
Gu Rong coughed up another mouthful of blood and shakily stood up.
"Hehe, these old bones of mine aren't that easy to kill." A strange smile appeared on Gu Rong's withered face, though his complexion was somewhat pale.
His muscles were shriveled, but his skeletal frame was abnormally large, standing at two and a half meters tall. His entire body looked as if it were composed solely of bones.
Sword Douluo breathed a slight sigh of relief. He knew his old brother well, if he could still laugh, then the injuries weren't too severe.
Yu Yuanzhen did not continue attacking. With a wave of his hand, the four Title Douluo plus Dugu Bo surrounded the trio of Ning Fengzhi.
Miserable, terrified screams continued to echo.
"Sect Master, save me…"
"Elder Sword, save me…"
"Sect Master, I don't want to die…"
…
Ning Fengzhi turned to look at the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. Of the more than two thousand disciples, only a few hundred were still struggling to hold on.
Those with lower cultivation had died within a few breaths after being poisoned. The remaining ones were the elite disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, yet the poison had already reached their hearts. Their bodies had turned a dark green, and they were beyond saving.
Just moments ago they had been vibrant, living souls. Now they had become cold corpses.
Watching those disciples stretch their hands toward him in their final moments, begging him to save them, Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth but no sound came out. Two lines of bloody tears streamed down his face.
As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, he could only watch helplessly as two thousand disciples died miserably before his eyes, powerless to do anything.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi felt as if his heart was being cut by knives. A large mouthful of blood sprayed out, his eyes closed, and his body collapsed limply.
"Fengzhi! Fengzhi!" Chen Xin shouted anxiously, catching Ning Fengzhi and pouring soul power into his body.
Ning Fengzhi slowly regained consciousness, his spirit extremely weak.
He pushed away Chen Xin's hand and dropped to his knees with a thud, kneeling toward the two thousand dead disciples.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School was destroyed by my hands. I am a sinner for all eternity. I have failed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. I have failed our ancestors!"
Ning Fengzhi's voice was hoarse, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. His head of jet-black hair turned snow-white in just a few breaths. In an instant, he had aged several decades.
Yu Yuanzhen felt a mix of lament and relief. After joining Spirit Hall all these years, he had fully understood just how powerful Spirit Hall was.
If he had been as stubborn as Ning Fengzhi back then, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's fate would not have been much better than that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.
"Fengzhi." Seeing Ning Fengzhi like this, both Chen Xin and Gu Rong felt their hearts ache.
Chen Xin reached out to help him up, but Ning Fengzhi waved his hand away. Then he kowtowed heavily three times toward the tragically dead two thousand disciples.
Blood seeped from Ning Fengzhi's forehead. Only then, with Chen Xin's support, did he stand up.
His former elegance, composure, and gentleness were all gone. His entire person seemed to have lost all vitality.
"Why?" His calm gaze turned toward Dugu Bo. Within that calmness was a silent, desperate cry.
A complicated look flashed across Dugu Bo's face. "I was originally a dying man. It was Spirit Hall that gave me a second life and greatly increased my strength. I approached Xue Qinghe precisely so that you would try to recruit me, giving me the opportunity to destroy the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School."
Ning Fengzhi turned his head and looked at Yu Yuanzhen. His voice remained calm, yet anyone could hear the despair within that calmness. "You won."
Yu Yuanzhen let out a long sigh. "Prosperity and destruction are decided in a single thought. If I had chosen the same path as you back then, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might have ceased to exist long ago. After joining Spirit Hall for four years, my clan received rewards from Spirit Hall and gained two additional Title Douluo. The number of soul masters in Spirit Hall has now grown to several hundred thousand. No one can stop them anymore—not the two great empires, and not the seven great sects!"
Ning Fengzhi's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart filled with shock.
As far as he knew, Spirit Hall only had several tens of thousands of soul masters. How could the number have grown to several hundred thousand?
"Elder Yu, you've said too much." A young voice rang out. The Title Douluo all turned to look.
Jiang Chen, who had already restored his original appearance, walked over and stood beside Yu Yuanzhen.
Only then did Yu Yuanzhen realize he had spoken too much.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, please forgive me!" He hurriedly bowed, cold sweat already beading on his forehead.
If Spirit Hall pursued the matter of leaking confidential information, the responsibility was not something he or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could bear.
Jiang Chen looked at the trio of Ning Fengzhi and said indifferently, "If Elder Yu can kill these three, the secret will not leak. Not only will there be no fault, but there will also be merit."
"Your Highness the Holy Son, rest assured. Today, Ning Fengzhi and these two will definitely die!" Yu Yuanzhen revealed a ruthless expression.
"Jiang… Chen!" Ning Fengzhi's blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Chen, as if he wanted to devour his flesh and blood to vent the hatred in his heart.
