Qian Renxue was so stunned by the scene before her that she could not speak.
Such terrifying power had defeated even a genius feared by Spirit Hall with such ease.
That strike had even made her sense a trace of power beyond this world.
She had felt this sensation once before—when she had first seen her innate martial soul, the Angel God.
The awe of facing a god had somehow washed over her once again in this girl.
Tang Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Acheron in utter shock.
Although Acheron had already withdrawn from her combat stance,
she still filled him with deep apprehension.
Tang Hao's pride as the strongest Assault System Soul Master in the world had completely vanished.
There was only one thought left in his mind: run!
Tang Hao knew that if this dragged on, he would absolutely be no match for this girl. He immediately turned and fled in panic.
He exhausted what little Soul Power he had left to speed away from the area.
Qian Renxue stared blankly.
They were both Titled Douluo, yet Tang Hao could instantly kill Spirit Hall's Pufferfish Douluo,
but he could not even last ten breaths against this girl.
Such terrifying strength...
Qian Renxue was just about to turn and ask Lu Jiang about the girl's origins
when she discovered that he had collapsed limply onto a rock.
At his side stood the flustered Firefly and Sparkle, who was watching the show with amusement.
Meanwhile, above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,
Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood atop a Flying Sword, gazing solemnly toward a spot deep within the forest.
He had sensed that powerful Blade Qi just now as well.
And it had shocked him beyond belief.
That power, that ultimate Blade Intent...
It was what he had pursued all his life.
Yet even though he had already become a Titled Douluo, he still had no way of cultivating his Blade Intent to such a pure level.
Who exactly had unleashed that strike?
Just watching from afar was enough to make his heart pound with fear.
He had clearly seen it just now—even the sky had been cleaved open by that sword qi.
Such power was something he could never attain even if he spent his entire life pursuing it.
He had once heard his father say
that the ultimate realm of the sword and blade was the ability to cut through all things.
If one cultivated sword intent to the pinnacle, one could even sever space and fate.
Chen Xin's heart began to pound violently.
He was called the Sword Maniac because his dedication to cultivating the sword had reached a nearly fanatical level.
At that moment, he truly wanted to meet this master.
He even had the thought of directly taking him as his master.
But he feared that revealing himself would incur that senior's displeasure.
Chen Xin asked himself honestly: if he had been the one to endure that attack just now, it would have been nearly impossible for him to escape unscathed.
He might even have risked death and the destruction of his soul.
After hesitating again and again, Chen Xin still decided to investigate.
His pursuit of the ultimate path of the sword had already reached the point where he could cast aside his life.
Even if he died beneath such ultimate Blade Qi, he would at least have witnessed the true end of the sword path.
He would die without regrets!
Having made up his mind, Chen Xin rode his sword toward Lu Jiang and the others.
Meanwhile, on Lu Jiang's side,
Qian Renxue looked at the chaotic scene before her, unable to understand what had happened to him.
He had been perfectly fine just moments ago. How had he suddenly gone limp?
Moreover, Qian Renxue could sense Lu Jiang's Soul Power rapidly draining away.
When she observed him with the Eye of the Archangel, she even discovered that his Soul Power was flowing weakly, as though it could fall into chaos at any moment.
Tears welled up in Firefly's eyes.
"Trailblazer, please, you mustn't let anything happen to you."
Firefly pleaded through tears.
Lu Jiang opened his eyes and smiled helplessly. "My Soul Power Level isn't high enough, so the drain was a bit much. But it's not a big problem. Don't worry, Firefly. Without Acheron's strike, it would have been difficult to escape an enemy like Tang Hao."
"It's good that you're all right." Firefly let out a breath of relief.
As she spoke, the massive expenditure of Soul Power caused Lu Jiang's vision to go dark, and he fell asleep on the spot.
The four girls watched the scene before them.
"Let me see if I can help."
Qian Renxue walked behind Firefly and spoke to her.
Firefly raised her head and looked at Qian Renxue.
Then she nodded and took several steps back.
After all, she had no solution at all. She could only leave it to Qian Renxue and hope for the best.
Qian Renxue then slowly crouched down and looked at the unconscious Lu Jiang.
Her expression was deeply conflicted, as though she were engaged in an intensely important inner struggle.
After hesitating for a long time, Qian Renxue seemed to make up her mind.
In truth, she could tell at a glance that Lu Jiang's condition was simply a lack of Soul Power.
However, the depletion of his Soul Power seemed absurdly severe, causing him to suddenly pass out after only saying a few words.
Lu Jiang's body was like a Black Hole had instantly sucked away all his Soul Power, leaving an enormous deficit within him and causing him to end up like this.
And saving him was simple—she only needed to transfer Soul Power to him.
However, his condition was extremely urgent. Ordinary methods of transfer would definitely not work; their efficiency was far too low.
She could only use a special method. Qian Renxue had hesitated again and again before making this decision.
The method for rapidly transferring Soul Power was the union of yin and yang.
Quite a few Soul Masters could even use this method to rapidly increase their strength.
Of course, even if Lu Jiang was a peerless genius, Qian Renxue could not simply offer herself to him like that.
After all, the cultivation requirements of her martial soul demanded that she remain a virgin.
However, if they were not cultivating through the union of yin and yang and were merely transferring Soul Power, none of that was necessary.
All it required was some simple physical contact.
Thus, Qian Renxue brushed back her hair and directly pressed her lips to Lu Jiang's.
She even applied force so that the channel through which Soul Power was transferred would be smoother.
In an instant, vast Soul Power flowed into Lu Jiang's body.
Acheron stared dumbly from the side, her eyes wide as she looked blankly at the scene before her.
Even Sparkle, who was usually so lively, fell quiet and merely watched Qian Renxue.
"Ah? Trailblazer... you... I..."
Firefly's reaction was much greater. The moment she saw Qian Renxue kiss him, she had already gripped her Transformation Device tightly.
But when she saw the Soul Power, Firefly, with her military background, instantly understood that Qian Renxue was saving Lu Jiang.
So she quietly stood to one side.
But her mind had already gone numb.
In the blink of an eye, someone had stolen her home again.
No, from now on, she had to take better care of the Trailblazer!!!
At this rate, who could possibly endure it? Every day, someone was stealing her home right under her nose.
On the other side of the forest, the severely injured Tang San was still waiting for Tang Hao to return with Xiao Wu.
"My father is the Clear Sky Douluo. He can definitely do it!"
