Seven Kill Sword Qi

Ning Rongrong reluctantly let go. From hell to heaven, it was the first time she had ever felt so safe. Now that someone had her back, she turned around with a smile in her eyes, hands on her hips, looking ready to enjoy the show.

Ning Rongrong knew Dai Mubai was powerful, but she believed Chen Yuan could definitely beat him until he was crawling for his teeth.

Chen Yuan stepped out from behind Ning Rongrong, his expression cold and his gaze deep. Dai Mubai was just the right opponent to test how strong he had become. After all, Dai Mubai was the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Chen Yuan did not stop. Step by step, neither hurried nor slow, he walked toward Dai Mubai. He appeared casual, yet every step placed greater pressure on his opponent.

Dai Mubai frowned tightly. He did not know Chen Yuan's background, but he knew there would be no peaceful resolution today. In the end, they would have to settle this with their fists.

"Then let's fight!"

Watching Chen Yuan approach at an unhurried pace, he decided to strike first. With a tiger's roar, Soul Power surged through his body. He stomped forward and swung his fist at Chen Yuan.

He charged forward swiftly and fiercely, his fist hurtling straight for Chen Yuan's face. Chen Yuan dodged with a quick sidestep, then struck like lightning, catching his wrist and twisting it backward.

The immense force left Dai Mubai utterly unable to resist. He let out a muffled groan and stumbled, his entire body toppling to one side. Chen Yuan followed with a kick to Dai Mubai's chest. Dai Mubai silently opened his mouth, his eyes bulging as his body flew backward like a ragged sack. Chen Yuan had nearly kicked him to death in one blow.

Neither side had used their Martial Souls yet, but their basic physical qualities had already determined the victor.

Bang!

Dai Mubai slammed heavily into the ground. The tremendous force sent him tumbling several times before he finally managed to stop.

Amid cries of shock from the surrounding crowd, Ma Hongjun and Oscar hurried forward to help Dai Mubai up, watching Chen Yuan warily.

Tang San and Xiao Wu did not move. Tang San did not move, so Xiao Wu did not move either. Tang San's expression was extremely grave. He had already activated his Purple Demon Eyes, a faint violet gleam filling them and allowing him to see their brief exchange even more clearly.

Though their clash had lasted only an instant, Chen Yuan's effortless manner, along with the terrifying strength and speed he displayed so casually, filled Tang San with alarm.

He had fought Dai Mubai before and personally experienced his strength. Yet in his clash with Chen Yuan, Dai Mubai had clearly been crushed with ease.

"Bastard, I'll kill you!"

Pain throbbed through Dai Mubai's chest. After Ma Hongjun and Oscar helped him up, his eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at Chen Yuan and roared.

He flung Ma Hongjun and Oscar aside. Seeing that Chen Yuan had not summoned his Martial Soul, he had refrained from doing so as well. But after taking such a beating, he finally could not endure it any longer.

"White Tiger, Possess!"

White light bloomed from Dai Mubai's body as his Soul Power surged wildly. In an instant, his body transformed. He grew several inches taller, muscles rapidly swelling all over his body. Blades half a foot long extended from his broad palms, while his golden hair turned black and white in striped patterns. The character for king appeared on his forehead, and his mismatched eyes were exceptionally intimidating. Three Spirit Rings rose beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple. Under normal circumstances, this was the optimal Spirit Ring configuration.

"Roar!"

With another tiger roar, this one truly carrying a soul-stirring force, Dai Mubai moved and pounced at Chen Yuan with immense speed and momentum.

Chen Yuan merely chuckled. With a grab of his hand, the Seven Kill Sword appeared in his grasp. Unlike Dai Mubai, he underwent no major physical changes, yet his entire body became razor-sharp, his fierce aura enough to make anyone shudder.

Three Spirit Rings rose beneath his feet as well: yellow, purple, purple. The moment they appeared, everyone present except Ning Rongrong froze, their faces soon filling with disbelief.

But Chen Yuan had no time to care about them. Facing the aggressively charging Dai Mubai, he neither dodged nor retreated, instead rushing straight at him with such speed that everyone's vision blurred.

Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically. He only had time to cast a layer of the White Tiger Protective Barrier around himself before Chen Yuan reached him.

Chen Yuan thrust his sword. The White Tiger Protective Barrier shattered on impact. It could not withstand the edge of the Seven Kill Sword at all. With a ripping sound, the sword pierced into Dai Mubai's body. It did not pass all the way through only because Dai Mubai's tiger claws were gripping the blade tightly. Blood seeped from his palms and dripped to the ground.

A chill ran through Dai Mubai's heart. If his combat experience had not been so good, if his reactions had not been so quick, this sword would already have pierced straight through him. Looking at Chen Yuan's handsome face, fear rose within him. What grudge did they even have? This man was trying to kill him.

He used another Soul Skill, firing a White Tiger Light Wave from his mouth. At such close range, Chen Yuan immediately drew back his sword and leaped into the air, dodging the orb of light.

Dai Mubai stumbled forward before retreating again and again. He stared fixedly at Chen Yuan, gathering Soul Power as he activated his thousand-year Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

His body swelled once more. Even the wound still bleeding on his body stopped bleeding as his muscles hardened like granite.

After using this Soul Skill, every aspect of Dai Mubai's abilities doubled. It slightly dispelled the chill in his heart, and he immediately roared like a madman.

"You dare try to kill me? Do you know who I am?"

Chen Yuan tilted his head, his voice perfectly calm.

"Just a piece of trash."

When Dai Mubai heard the word "trash," he seemed to recall something. He lost some of his reason, his face becoming savage and terrifying as he lunged viciously at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan had lost any interest in continuing the fight. He circulated his Soul Power and swung his sword twice, slashing out two sword qi strikes more than three meters long. The sword qi crossed each other, incomparably sharp as they struck the charging Dai Mubai without missing.

Boom!

The fierce sword qi poured over Dai Mubai's body, sending him flying backward. He did not cry out in pain, because he had already lost consciousness. When he crashed heavily onto the ground again,

his eyes had rolled white, and the clothes over his chest had been completely shredded. He had exited his Martial Soul Possession state, revealing two crisscrossing wounds on his body, deep enough to expose bone. Blood poured from them, making for a miserable sight.

Seven Kill Sword Qi was originally an innate Soul Skill of the Seven Kill Sword that required no Spirit Ring. It could grow stronger along with Soul Power, while its unique Killing Word Technique could further strengthen the sword qi and increase its power.

Just as the Clear Sky Hammer could grow heavier with increased Soul Power, and just as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could truly transform into a dragon, every top-tier Martial Soul had its own unique qualities.

A complete killing character was equivalent to a ten-thousand-year Soul Skill. With Chen Yuan's current strength, he should have been able to slash out a complete killing character. But against Dai Mubai, there was no need for a ten-thousand-year Soul Skill.

As Chen Yuan gradually accumulated more advantages, his strength had become extraordinarily formidable.
