Forced into a corner, Chen Xin had no choice but to swing his sword at Lu Yunzhu's neck.
The next moment,
a crisp clang of metal rang out without warning.
The moment after that,
an incomparably powerful force sent Chen Xin and his Seven Killing Sword flying.
The first exchange was over!
Lu Yunzhu had gained the slight upper hand against the two of them!
"Go!!!"
Seeing this, Dugu Yan shouted her encouragement once again.
Beside her,
as Dugu Yan's close friend,
Ye Lingling promptly added, "Go!"
"Facing two opponents alone without falling behind, even holding a slight advantage... Lu Yunzhu truly is no ordinary man."
Staring fixedly at Lu Yunzhu with astonished, shocked eyes,
Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long thought to himself,
his expression gradually turning solemn.
Meanwhile,
at the entrance to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
A delicate beauty stood there. Dressed in a blue palace gown, her graceful figure was exquisitely curved. Her elegant, noble bearing added an unusual charm to her already beautiful face.
It was only natural for men to find themselves unable to look away from her.
"Is he Lu Yunzhu? He looks... so young."
The beauty stared at Lu Yunzhu, who was battling Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin in the sky, and murmured to herself.
Chapter 26: Chen Xin Loses an Arm, Yu Yuanzhen Is Seriously Injured!
(First update)
The beauty's identity was self-evident.
She was Tang Yuehua of the Clear Sky Sect.
In order to win over—or rather, make contact with—Lu Yunzhu, that unfathomable cultivator,
the once mighty Clear Sky Sect, unable to conveniently show itself in public, could only send a woman to act.
That really was rather ridiculous.
After all,
in today's Douluo Continent,
probably no one would have expected
that the Clear Sky Sect, once renowned throughout the land,
would now need a woman to take the lead.
"His strength is extraordinary, Chen Xin. We have to be careful. Otherwise, if we lose today, you and I will lose all face in the Soul Master World... every last bit of it!"
As Yu Yuanzhen spoke his warning,
he also prepared to give it everything he had.
Hearing this,
Chen Xin, his face grave and solemn, answered,
"His Sword Dao, Sword Technique, Sword Intent, and comprehension and understanding of the sword are all above mine. In a one-on-one duel, I would definitely not be his match. But if the two of us join forces, we have the strength to fight him and some chance of winning."
After saying that,
Chen Xin fully unleashed his Seven Kill Sword Qi,
and released his Seven Killing Domain as well.
Seeing this,
and confirming again and again that he had not misheard,
Ning Fengzhi's breathing involuntarily quickened.
A level ninety-six Peak Douluo,
the number one swordsman on Douluo Continent,
was actually inferior to a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Wasn't that... far too absurd?
Moreover,
to fight him,
he even had to join forces with another Peak Douluo.
Thus,
if he had not seen it with his own eyes,
Ning Fengzhi truly would not have dared believe it.
"How exactly... does one become a cultivator?"
As Ning Fengzhi murmured to himself,
his heart was filled with curiosity and confusion.
At the same time, a powerful urge drove him to investigate further and delve into the mysteries—or secrets—within.
"If I became a cultivator, what would my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul become?"
With that thought,
Ning Fengzhi fell into deep contemplation.
Disguised as Xue Qinghe's coachman,
Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long watched the battle between the three of them,
and was utterly shocked.
As he secretly thought to himself, cold sweat involuntarily formed on his forehead and back.
"If I were to face Lu Yunzhu,"
"I fear that... in no more than three exchanges... I would be effortlessly defeated by him."
Thinking of this,
Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long clenched his fists unwillingly.
For Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long to climb to his current position,
he did not know how much effort he had expended or how much blood and sweat he had poured in.
Yet Lu Yunzhu?
He had used only three years
to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, equal to a Title Douluo, and could even... suppress Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long with ease.
The enormous gap
left Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long deeply unwilling to accept it.
If possible,
he, Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long, also wanted to become... a cultivator!
After slowly coming back to his senses,
in order to deny Lu Yunzhu any time or opportunity to catch his breath,
Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin launched another attack.
After entering his Dragon Transformation state,
Yu Yuanzhen underwent a dramatic transformation.
Blue-violet scales covered every part of Yu Yuanzhen's body, enlarging his physique somewhat. At the same time, faint arcs of electricity appeared in his eyes.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, True Dragon Body Protection!"
After Yu Yuanzhen finished speaking,
two pitch-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings rose one after another from beneath his feet.
Immediately afterward,
countless lightning arcs as thick as an adult's arm crackled around Yu Yuanzhen's body.
These lightning arcs were extraordinarily powerful.
If an ordinary Soul Ancestor or Soul King was struck even once,
they would either die... or be severely injured!
With the enhancement of the Seven Killing Domain, Chen Xin's attack, defense, and speed all rose greatly.
Yet even that
was not enough for him.
To defeat—or contend with—Lu Yunzhu, he felt that the Seven Killing Domain alone was far from sufficient.
For that very reason,
to be safe,
and prevent any accidents,
Sword Douluo Chen Xin used a Ten Thousand Year soul skill as a safeguard. "Fifth Soul Skill, Terrify All Directions!"
After the pitch-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring rose,
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's aura increased somewhat as well.
Looking at the two men charging at him with fierce momentum,
Lu Yunzhu, who had remained calm and composed from beginning to end, smiled.
As he stepped forward, he spoke,
"Flowers intoxicate three thousand guests in a hall; one sword chills fourteen provinces with frost."
"War drums and horns pierce the heavens, chilling auspicious air; winds and waves shake the earth... autumn fills the seas and mountains."
As Lu Yunzhu's voice fell,
the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Arts—Sword Technique—was unleashed to its fullest, while the Lightning Summoning Technique was invoked once more.
Before Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin could make sense of Lu Yunzhu's murmur,
everything around them,
