The Unusual Earth Dragon

The intelligence obtained by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was inaccurate.

Chen Xin only knew that there was a Sword Winged Dragon in Thunderclap Canyon that was between fifteen hundred and two thousand years old. He did not know that this Sword Winged Dragon was the offspring of a fifty-thousand-year Sword Winged Dragon King.

After Ke Jie discovered the Sword Winged Dragon and was about to make his move, the Sword Winged Dragon King suddenly charged out.

Caught off guard, he had nearly been severely wounded. Fortunately, the Sky Chessboard was large enough to block the attack for him.

The strength of a fifty-thousand-year soul beast was already comparable to that of a human Soul Douluo. Moreover, Ke Jie was a Control System Spirit Master and lacked the means to kill enemies. Though he could restrain his opponent, that was all he could do.

"Those damned bastards from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan didn't tell us about the Sword Winged Dragon King in advance." Ke Jie cursed every last member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in his heart.

This was their territory. How could they not know of the Sword Winged Dragon King's existence?

Perhaps they intended to use this opportunity to have Ning Tianchen killed.

If Ning Rongrong had not insisted on coming, Ke Jie would not have been sent out. With Sword Dao Chen Xin's strength, dealing with the Sword Winged Dragon King would not be a problem.

But if the battle became too intense, the other soul beasts would also rush over to help.

Surrounded from all sides, Chen Xin could still handle the situation with his strength, but Ning Tianchen would have no hope of surviving.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is truly vicious. Good thing the young miss saw through them." Ke Jie was filled with indignation.

Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really had done this, they would never admit it. Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect held them accountable afterward, they could brush it off with all manner of excuses.

This matter had to be reported to the Sect Master. They had to expose the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ugly true face!

About One Incense Stick Time later, Chen Xin arrived with Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong.

The instant he saw the Sword Winged Dragon King, Chen Xin immediately guessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's scheme.

With a cold snort, he set Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong down in a safe area far from the battlefield.

"Tianchen, hide well. Rongrong's safety is in your hands from here on." Chen Xin lightly patted his shoulder, his expression solemn.

Then, he swiftly rushed toward the battlefield to provide support.

Thunderclap Canyon was not large, and the commotion from the battle quickly drew the attention of other soul beasts.

Among the soul beasts raised here by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were two Thunder Dragons, one seventy thousand years old and the other sixty-five thousand years old.

The two soul beasts had already arrived above the battlefield.

To avoid further complications, Chen Xin directly activated his Martial Soul Avatar.

Hiding in the safe area, Ning Tianchen had no idea that he had already been set up by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His gaze was fixed intently on Chen Xin in midair.

"The Seven Kill Sword's Killing Character Sword Secret!"

The Killing Character Sword Secret was one of the Seven Kill Sword's most powerful sword arts. To learn it, one needed at least the strength of a Soul Saint.

Two "Kill" characters descended in succession, completely neutralizing the attacks of the two Thunder Dragons.

"Sword Grandfather is amazing!" Ning Rongrong could not help but clap.

After all this time, it was also Ning Tianchen's first time seeing Chen Xin fight with his full strength. He stared without blinking, afraid of missing an opportunity to learn.

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet trembled. Something was about to burrow out from underground.

Ning Tianchen immediately came back to his senses. The Seven Kill Sword Spirit appeared, and two yellow soul rings floated around him.

"Second Spirit Ability, Dragon Sword Guardian!"

The Seven Kill Sword pierced the ground, transforming soul power into countless spiritual swords that formed a sword qi barrier around the two of them.

Ning Rongrong, who had been watching the battle, noticed Ning Tianchen's spirit ability and immediately summoned the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit.

An Earth Dragon (earthworm) that was six hundred years old burrowed out from beneath the ground. Several rows of sharp teeth filled its circular mouth. It bit down on the barrier, but failed to shatter it.

"What a disgusting soul beast! Tianchen Gege, hurry and get rid of it!" Ning Rongrong cried out in alarm, her face pale.

"An Earth Dragon soul beast actually has six hundred years of cultivation. There must be some kind of opportunity here," Ning Tianchen analyzed inwardly.

He had learned from the sect school that Earth Dragon soul beasts usually had, at most, a few decades of cultivation. Only if they had no natural enemies and lived long enough did they have a chance of becoming hundred-year soul beasts.

But that was already the limit of this kind of soul beast. Having six hundred years of cultivation was simply impossible.

This fellow before them was already large enough to swallow an adult whole.

"Rongrong, strengthen me. I'll go meet it."

With a shout, Ning Tianchen pulled the Seven Kill Sword from the ground and charged at the Earth Dragon with sword in hand.

The two yellow soul rings beneath Ning Rongrong's feet flashed. "Glazed Tile emerges from the Seven Treasures, the Seven Treasures have names: First: Strength, Second: Speed."

Two streams of seven-colored light entered Ning Tianchen's body, increasing his strength and speed by thirty percent.

Seeing the "food" approach, the Earth Dragon pulled the latter half of its body out of the ground. It intended to severely injure him with a tail sweep before swallowing him whole.

"First Spirit Ability, Azure Dragon Break."

Sword qi shot forth, forming the phantom of an azure dragon.

As Ning Tianchen's Soul Power Level increased, the power of his First Spirit Ability had also risen considerably.

The sword qi struck the Earth Dragon's body, effortlessly slicing through the keratinous armor on its surface and severing it in two.

Earth Dragon soul beasts were rather peculiar. When an ordinary soul beast's body was cut into two, it had almost no chance of survival. But the two severed halves of an Earth Dragon seemed to gain minds of their own and attacked Ning Tianchen at the same time.

Though only one of the severed halves would ultimately survive for long, Ning Tianchen undoubtedly had to face "two Earth Dragons" at once for the moment.

Walk-Transform-Spin-Flip, Light-Steady-Swift-Fast.

After five years of training, Ning Tianchen had already fused his movement technique and swordsmanship together.

His footwork was swift and fierce, moving like a gentle breeze yet standing as steady as a mountain.

The Seven Kill Sword swept out a flash of sword light, like a breeze that showed no trace of a sword.

The two Earth Dragons lost sight of their target for a moment, their attacks unable to touch Ning Tianchen at all.

The Seven Kill Sword's light fell upon them, cutting their bodies apart once more.

Earth Dragons could not divide endlessly. Once their bodies were severed again, they completely lost their life force.

A yellow soul ring rose from one of the body segments.

Only after seeing that the danger had passed did Ning Rongrong let out a sigh of relief. She curiously examined the Earth Dragon's corpse. "Tianchen Gege, is this an Earth Dragon? How can this kind of soul beast have such a high age?"

Ning Tianchen did not answer. He still did not dare let down his guard.

The bloody smell left behind after the Earth Dragon's death was very likely to attract other soul beasts. Their top priority was to move away immediately.

Chen Xin saw everything that happened on the ground.

At first, he had been prepared to intervene, but when he saw Ning Tianchen calmly face the Earth Dragon's assault, he was reassured.

Ning Tianchen's soul power had reached level thirty. Ordinary thousand-year soul beasts were no match for him.

Retracting his gaze, he turned his attention to Ke Jie.

At that moment, Ke Jie was surrounded by several soul beasts that were as old as fifty thousand years.

Relying on the Sky Chessboard's unique properties, he could barely stabilize the situation.

But if this dragged on any longer, the situation might not remain so favorable.
