Crossing Blades with Sword Dao Chen Xin! (Please Keep Reading!)

After landing, Jiang Qianhai found Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong and the two Title Douluo were there as well, but Ning Rongrong was the center of attention at the moment, while everyone else stood off to the side watching.

The moment he arrived, Jiang Qianhai saw Ning Rongrong carrying the Mystic Heavy Ruler on her back, gritting her teeth as she tried to stand.

"Eeyah!"

"I can't do it."

After using up the last of her strength, Ning Rongrong plopped straight down onto the ground.

She looked at Zhu Zhuqing in confusion, panting as she asked, "Zhuqing, how on earth did you manage to carry something this heavy?"

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, grasped the Mystic Heavy Ruler with one hand, gave a jolt of Soul Power, and with one burst of strength, hoisted it onto her own back.

Only then did she begin answering Ning Rongrong's question.

"You get used to it."

The corner of Ning Rongrong's mouth twitched. "All right, I get it."

Suddenly spotting Jiang Qianhai, Ning Rongrong hurriedly stood up and patted the dirt off herself.

"Jiang Qianhai, you're finally back. Did you deal with that tiger?"

"It's dealt with." Jiang Qianhai looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "Not bad. Looks like you can already adapt to the Mystic Heavy Ruler now. Faster than I expected."

Zhu Zhuqing turned around. "I only just adapted to it not long ago. And the Mystic Heavy Ruler suppresses Soul Power very well, so my Soul Power has been growing quickly."

What she did not say was that she had discovered cultivating the Aura Concealment Art during meditation greatly accelerated the growth of her Soul Power. Added to the suppressive training from the Mystic Heavy Ruler, her Soul Power had now reached rank 29!

But with outsiders present, it was better to keep it hidden.

As for why Ning Rongrong had suddenly wanted to try the Mystic Heavy Ruler herself?

It was purely out of curiosity.

Hearing that Jiang Qianhai had killed that annoying Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong's mood instantly improved.

At that moment, a question that had puzzled her for a long time suddenly popped up.

"Speaking of which, Jiang Qianhai, just how strong are you?"

She had been curious about Jiang Qianhai's strength for ages—from instantly killing Zhao Wuji, to now even Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather being unable to figure him out.

It was seriously baffling.

"I'm not sure either."

Jiang Qianhai told the truth. He really was not sure.

"Young man, why don't we spar a little?"

Chen Xin's eyes lit up, and he offered his suggestion with a smile.

He wanted to test Jiang Qianhai's strength. If possible, it would be best to pull him over to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cherished powerful people like this the most.

And ever since Jiang Qianhai had stepped into the Dou Huang realm, he had never known his exact strength. Faced with Sword Douluo Chen Xin's invitation to fight, Jiang Qianhai gladly accepted.

"Let's go farther away."

"Good."

One rode his sword, the other spread his wings, and they soared into the air.

Seeing this, Gu Rong waved his hand, wrapping Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong in Soul Power as he hurriedly followed.

In half a quarter of an hour, Jiang Qianhai and Chen Xin found an excellent open area.

The two slowly descended. Gu Rong, who followed close behind, landed in the distance as well. He had to ensure the safety of the two young girls, allowing them to watch the fight while avoiding being affected by the battle's aftershocks.

The two stood a hundred meters apart.

"Wait!"

Jiang Qianhai reached out, and the Mystic Heavy Ruler turned into a streak of light from Zhu Zhuqing's back and arrived in his hand.

He knew Chen Xin's Martial Soul was a sword, and he had no desire to use his fists to take Sword Dao Chen Xin's blade.

More than anything, it was out of caution.

After all, he did not know Chen Xin's strength either.

Chen Xin, however, was not overly serious. There was even a faint smile on his face.

In his view, Jiang Qianhai was a junior. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to be absurdly powerful.

So while this was nominally a spar, in truth, his goal was to give guidance to a junior and form a good connection through it.

After all, he was a rank ninety-six Super Douluo.

In this world, the people who could make him get serious numbered fewer than the fingers on two hands!

And Jiang Qianhai was definitely not among them!

"Come on!"

The Seven Kill Sword appeared in Chen Xin's hand, and the smile on his face faded. A battle still had to be treated seriously.

The two of them stared at each other, both their eyes narrowing slightly. A murderous atmosphere descended around them, and the collision of their auras kicked up a cloud of dust.

Chen Xin nodded inwardly. This aura was indeed at the level of a Title Douluo, and not one who had only just entered the rank. It was probably around rank ninety-three.

However, among Title Douluo, the farther one advanced, the more each rank became like a natural chasm. And he was a full four ranks higher than Jiang Qianhai!

So he was definitely going to secure this good connection!

Bang!

Jiang Qianhai moved first.

Exploding Step!

Holding the Mystic Heavy Ruler, he charged straight at Chen Xin. The burst of speed was somewhat beyond Chen Xin's expectations, but it was still within his control.

Faced with the ruler coming head-on, the Seven Kill Sword in his hand gave a slight sweep and knocked aside the Mystic Heavy Ruler's attack.

The aftershock of the attack scattered outward, cracking the ground within a hundred meters.

"Attacks aren't supposed to be so straightforward. This kind of attack is fine against someone weaker than you, but in an evenly matched battle, charging like that makes it very easy for the enemy to dodge and leaves you wasting effort for nothing."

"Next it's my turn to counterattack. Take this. First Soul Skill, Longsword Out of Sheath!"

Soul Power surged around Chen Xin, and a yellow Spirit Ring flickered. White Soul Power emerged, then attached itself to the Seven Kill Sword.

"Slash!"

With Chen Xin's soft shout, a white sword beam shot straight toward Jiang Qianhai.

Clang!

Jiang Qianhai held the Mystic Heavy Ruler horizontally. Though the sword qi forced him back again and again, in the end, he still blocked Chen Xin's attack without taking damage.

"Is there really a bit of a gap between me and a Super Douluo?"

Jiang Qianhai shook out his left hand and sighed slightly in his heart.

Chen Xin definitely had not used his full strength in that strike. Rather, that sword was only a little stronger than a basic attack.

But even so, Jiang Qianhai still had no way to take it head-on. From this, Jiang Qianhai estimated his raw strength without using anything else.

"How did that strike feel?"

Chen Xin held his left hand behind his back, the tip of his sword pointing toward the ground.

Jiang Qianhai nodded in acknowledgement. "It really was strong. I more or less know my strength now."

Chen Xin nodded silently, inwardly thinking that this child was truly teachable.

But Jiang Qianhai's next words made his eyelid twitch.

"Warm-up's over. The real fight starts now! Here I come!"

In an instant!

In that instant, his speed soared. In Chen Xin's eyes, Jiang Qianhai directly became a series of faint afterimages.

Seeing this, Chen Xin's eyes suddenly widened. While inwardly cursing, what the hell, he hurriedly brought his left hand in front of him. Then two Spirit Rings on his body flashed in succession, and his Second Soul Skill—Spirit Sword Guard—and his seventh soul skill—Martial Soul Avatar—were used at the same time.

Sword qi transformed into a shield that wrapped around him.

Ding ding ding * N

The moment the sword shield formed, a rapid series of striking sounds rang beside his ears. Yet he could only see the barest trace of Jiang Qianhai's afterimage, which made the corner of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.

What the hell was this speed?

Crack!

Chen Xin's eyelid twitched, and he abruptly looked toward the direction the sound had come from.

He saw that a crack had actually appeared in the sword-qi shield there.

My Spirit Sword Guard, which can defend against a Super Douluo, was broken open just like that?

Ridiculous!

It had only been one breath!

Whose Title Douluo fought a Super Douluo like this?

Wait, where were his martial soul and Spirit Rings?

However, this still was not the end. Chen Xin only saw himself surrounded by dazzling purple for an instant, and the next moment, the entire shield shattered with a sound.

"Stop, stop, stop! I can't fight this, I can't fight this. I'm not fighting anymore!"

Chen Xin waved his hands repeatedly, then finally crawled out covered in dust and grime.

This fight had been truly stifling. All he had done was take hits.

However, this time, it was indeed because he had been careless. Jiang Qianhai had caught him completely off guard. If he had opened with his big moves from the start, Jiang Qianhai might not necessarily have won.

After all, this time, he had not used his eighth or Ninth Soul Skill either.

After the battle, Chen Xin transformed into a streak of sword light and slipped away directly. At that moment, the thought in his heart was, I've embarrassed myself badly this time! I absolutely can't let that bone man mock me!
