"Seven Kill Sword... Who exactly are you?!"
Yue Guan's voice echoed quietly between heaven and earth.
The many elders of the Elder Hall were equally dumbfounded.
"Seven Kill Sword—could it be Sword Dao Chen Xin?"
"But where would Chen Xin have gotten a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring?"
Inside the Worship Hall.
"Seven Kill Sword, Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring... Could it be him?"
A figure slowly surfaced in Qian Daoliu's mind.
Golden Crocodile Douluo beside him also seemed deep in thought. He shook his head and said firmly,
"It can't be that man. He passed away decades ago. Spirit Hall's spies confirmed it repeatedly back then. There can be no mistake."
Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Qian Daoliu nodded without suspicion.
Spirit Hall possessed the strongest intelligence network on the continent. When Chen Xun died, spies had even personally examined his corpse.
Ever since Chen Jianjun's death,
only one Seven Kill Sword remained in this world.
Other than Sword Dao Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there could never be a second one.
The two of them could not make sense of it no matter how hard they thought.
Chen Xun held the Seven Kill Sword, his voice cold as ice.
"Who am I?"
"Merely an old man who vanished long ago and was forgotten."
"I already said it. You two are still too weak. Have those old geezers from the Worship Hall come out and play with me."
This time, Chen Xun did not deliberately lower his voice.
His words echoed quietly between heaven and earth.
Though calm, his voice carried an unrestrained arrogance in others' ears.
Arrogant—far too arrogant.
But after defeating Ghost and Chrysanthemum, two Titled Douluo, with a single sword strike, he had every right to be arrogant!
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly inside the Worship Hall. With the other party provoking Spirit Hall so openly, he naturally could not tolerate it as the Great Worship.
Just then,
two figures arrived before Qian Daoliu.
"Great Worship, that man outside has provoked Spirit Hall so brazenly. Let my brother and me teach him a lesson."
Demon Subduing Douluo's tone was brimming with confidence.
Thousand Jun Douluo beside him nodded in agreement.
Qian Daoliu looked thoughtfully at the two of them before slowly speaking.
"The injuries you two sustained have yet to heal, while the other party's strength is still unknown. The risk is too great."
Hearing this,
Demon Subduing Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo became even more eager to fight.
They had been sent by the Great Worship to investigate the strange phenomenon in the sky, yet not only had they learned nothing, they had even been injured.
If they could not make up for their mistake, the two brothers would truly be unable to sleep at night, consumed by guilt.
Thus, the two requested permission to fight once more.
Seeing that he could not dissuade them, Qian Daoliu agreed to let them take the challenge.
Demon Queller and Thousand Jun walked through the air and arrived before Chen Xun.
Demon Subduing Douluo raised the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand and pointed it at Chen Xun, his voice stern.
"Allow me to experience your skills and see whether your strength is worthy of such arrogance!"
Chen Xun chuckled upon hearing this. Looking at the two, he replied calmly,
"You alone are not qualified."
"Have the man beside you join you."
"I'll take you both on."
Demon Subduing Douluo was so angered by Chen Xun's words that he nearly laughed.
"Fine, fine, fine! I'd like to see what strength you possess that gives you the nerve to say such things!"
"Brother, together!"
Thousand Jun Douluo nodded and summoned his Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul.
The next moment,
the two brothers both wielded their Coiling Dragon Staffs and charged at Chen Xun to kill him!
Blood energy surged from Chen Xun's Seven Kill Sword. Red light bloomed in his eyes as he said faintly,
"Fourth Spirit Skill, My Body is the Sword!"
The Seven Kill Sword let out a violent tremor, and overwhelming sword intent burst forth between heaven and earth!
At this moment, Chen Xun had become one with the Seven Kill Sword.
The sword was him, and he was the sword.
Chen Xun continuously parried the combined attacks of Demon Subduing Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo.
The two were blood brothers of the same clan, and both possessed the Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul. To call their coordination flawless would not be an exaggeration.
Demon Subduing Douluo laughed wildly as he attacked.
"Your strength is certainly impressive, but before the combined might of my brother and me, you have no ability to fight back at all."
"Even the Great Worship would not dare to be careless against the two of us working together. It is time for you to pay the price for your arrogance!"
A sharp glint flashed through Chen Xun's indifferent eyes. He said coolly,
"You won't know whether you can win until you try."
The next moment,
Chen Xun rose into the clouds, Above the Nine Heavens. The Seven Kill Sword at his side erupted with killing intent as vast as a sea of blood, dyeing everything between heaven and earth an incomparably crimson red!
Then,
Chen Xun extended two fingers. Blood energy, black as ink, flowed from his fingertips and drifted through heaven and earth.
His voice was vast and imposing.
"One Sword Across the Sky, Stars are Cold."
"Bloodlight floats over ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers."
"To slay all foes is but a trivial matter."
"Laughing, Treading on White Bones, Singing of Xiliang!"
"This sword is called—Seven Kill!!!"
In an instant,
a blood-red phantom of the Seven Kill Sword stood between heaven and earth.
At this moment,
the entirety of Spirit City appeared exceptionally small before the Seven Kill Sword.
Demon Subduing and Thousand Jun could only raise their heads to look upon it.
All the citizens of Spirit City stared in shock.
"This aura... It's him, it really is him!"
"Sword Master Chen Xun!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned frenzied, and even his voice trembled faintly.
A man who had already died decades ago
had actually returned to the world!
How was that possible?!
Yet this familiar aura had to belong to him!
Having dealt with Chen Xun for many years in the past, Golden Crocodile Douluo was likely the person in this world most familiar with Chen Xun.
Chen Xun and Golden Crocodile Douluo were truly of the same generation. Even Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were a generation younger than them.
In that era,
there was a name known by all.
Sword Master Chen Xun.
A powerhouse who had suppressed an entire era.
Even Golden Crocodile Douluo of that time had not been Chen Xun's match!
It could be said that Chen Xun was the shadow that had haunted Golden Crocodile Douluo for his entire life.
Even if his grandson Chen Xin failed to recognize Chen Xun, Golden Crocodile Douluo would never mistake him.
"Kill!"
As the word "kill" fell,
Chen Xun pressed down with one hand. The blood-red Seven Kill Sword tore through the air as it descended, and terrifying Soul Power fluctuations erupted completely between heaven and earth!
Demon Subduing and Thousand Jun turned pale with grave expressions. They hurriedly unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars, attempting to block the sword strike that could tear apart heaven and earth!
Yet the moment the Seven Kill Sword fell upon their shoulders, the two finally realized just how terrifying Chen Xun's strength was.
This sword was like a mountain ten thousand zhang tall, unstoppable!
He had likely already surpassed Level 98 and reached the Level 99 Peerless Realm!
Seeing the Demon Subduing brothers nearing their limit, Golden Crocodile Douluo hurriedly rushed toward the clouds from within the Worship Hall.
"Seventh Spirit Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
The roar of the Golden Crocodile King shook heaven and earth. Golden Crocodile Douluo stood before the two men and faced this familiar sword strike head-on!
Golden Crocodile Douluo sank downward, gritted his teeth, and forcibly endured the strike.
However, he also suffered considerable injuries as a result.
Though his Golden Crocodile King was one of the continent's most powerful beast martial souls, possessing tremendous defense and offense,
his opponent was Sword Master Chen Xun.
Among three generations of the Chen Clan, he was the only one capable of perfectly unleashing the Seven Kill Sword, the number one offensive martial soul under heaven!
"Green Peak Drawn, Proudly Facing the Cloud Waves; Splitting the Azure Waist, Breaking the Rainbow Waist."
"Laughing, Drinking a Thousand Cups; In Drunkenness, Ask the Heavens How High!"
"Let us stop here for today. I will return another day!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
At this moment, only Chen Xun's aged yet heroic voice remained between heaven and earth.
