Dugu Bo Captured, Seven Kill True Body vs. Xuanyuan Sacred Sword Avatar

Chen Xin's eyes widened.

Dividing into tens of thousands of flying swords to kill the enemy—wasn't that his Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin? Moreover, Yan Chixia had shouted, "Dragon Roar Nine Heavens, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin." There was only one extra character at the beginning.

What was going on? How did he know his Sixth Soul Skill? And... he had used it without even activating his Martial Soul?

"Uncle Sword, don't let your guard down!" Ning Fengzhi shouted from behind him. Then, a seven-colored radiance enveloped him.

"Third Soul Skill, Soul Power Amplification!" Before Ning Fengzhi, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shone with dazzling light.

Feeling the Soul Power he had expended in his earlier battle against Ghostly and Yue Guan rapidly recovering, Chen Xin took a deep breath, stopped dwelling on it, and focused completely on fighting Yan Chixia.

He raised the Seven Kill Sword in his hand and said to Yan Chixia, "Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"

With that, he swung it fiercely. In an instant, countless flying swords materialized as well, surging toward Yan Chixia.

"Boom!" Their attacks collided, erupting in a violent explosion. A powerful shockwave shattered the surrounding buildings, while countless chunks of rubble were swept into the distance by the air currents before crashing down onto the streets, terrifying many pedestrians.

Those farther away began scrambling desperately to find cover.

"Take this!" Yan Chixia showed neither surprise nor fear when his attack was blocked. He flew straight at Chen Xin, the sword light of the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand icy and sharp.

"First Soul Skill, Strength Amplification!" Another seven-colored ray fell upon Chen Xin. Wielding the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin charged to meet Yan Chixia.

"Clang!" The two swords collided. Their faces met at close range—one wore a fierce gaze, while the other frowned slightly.

Soon, they both retreated. The next second, they charged at one another again, even faster than before.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..." The two engaged in a fierce aerial battle. Sword light flashed continuously as they traded blows, fighting with astonishing intensity.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Myriad Streams of Flowing Light!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Ghosts and Demons!"

Yue Guan and Ghostly launched a ferocious assault on Dugu Bo, cruel smiles on both their faces. With Chen Xin no longer holding them back, could a mere Dugu Bo really turn the tables?

"Pfft!" Seeing the two charging at him while immediately unleashing their immensely powerful Eighth Soul Skills, Dugu Bo was frantic enough to spit out another mouthful of blood. He hurriedly turned his head toward Ning Fengzhi.

"Sect Master Ning, amplify me!" he shouted.

Then, no longer caring about his injuries, he desperately mobilized the Soul Power within his body. He leaped back onto the head of the Jade Scale Snake Emperor Martial Soul, the eighth Soul Ring beneath his feet shining brightly.

Not only that, but a bone-like outer shell resembling a helmet appeared over his head. That was... a Head Soul Bone!

"Third Soul Skill, Soul Power Amplification!" Ning Fengzhi provided Dugu Bo with a highly effective boost.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Time Solidification!"

"Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone Skill, Medusa's Gaze!"

With his Soul Power amplified, Dugu Bo squeezed out every last drop of power in his body, forcibly unleashing both his Eighth Soul Skill and his trump-card Soul Bone skill at once.

Below him, the Jade Scale Snake Emperor opened its blood-filled maw and spat out a terrifying beam of light, charging directly at Ghostly and Yue Guan's Eighth Soul Skills.

At the same time, two petrifying rays shot from its eyes. Those rays could petrify even energy itself!

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out as Dugu Bo's Eighth Soul Skill was broken.

The remaining Soul Skill attacks of Ghostly and Yue Guan continued forward, each meeting one of the petrifying rays before being petrified.

"Whew..." Dugu Bo let out a breath of relief.

"Bang!" The next second, the petrification was undone, and the two Soul Skills continued onward.

"What?"

"Boom!"

"Ah!" Dugu Bo let out a miserable scream as he was struck head-on, sent flying from the Jade Scale Snake Emperor's head toward the ground once more.

This time, even the Jade Scale Snake Emperor Martial Soul began dissolving into specks of light, vanishing from everyone's sight.

Yes, he had been beaten so badly that his Martial Soul had been forcibly deactivated.

"Mr. Dugu!" Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi grew anxious. He wanted to call Chen Xin over for support, but Chen Xin was locked in a fierce battle with Yan Chixia and simply could not spare a hand. Besides, Ning Fengzhi was a Support System Soul Master; though willing, he was powerless.

What should he do? What could he do?

"Hmph, Old Poisonous Creature. Even with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's amplification, the weakest Titled Douluo like you can never be a match for the two of us. You've even used your Soul Bone skill. Let's see what other tricks you have!" Yue Guan said smugly.

Then, he and Ghostly attacked Dugu Bo, who had fallen to the ground, and quickly subdued him.

At this point, even if Dugu Bo wanted to ignore his injuries and squeeze out more Soul Power, he no longer had the slightest ability to fight.

Truly... not even a little.

Like a dead dog, he was pinned to the ground with his hands restrained by Yue Guan and a foot pressing down on him.

"Alas!" Ning Fengzhi sighed heavily at the sight.

He turned to look toward Chen Xin.

Chen Xin and Yan Chixia were fighting back and forth in the air, seemingly unable to gain the upper hand over one another.

This would not do.

"Uncle Sword, we can't wait any longer!" Ning Fengzhi shouted to Chen Xin.

Hearing that, Chen Xin narrowed his eyes and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Kill True Body!" Chen Xin unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar. The Seven Kill Sword in his hand shot out, transforming into a giant sword hundreds of meters long and radiating dazzling sword light. Chen Xin entered a state of unity between man and sword, his attack power multiplying several times over.

"First Soul Skill, Strength Amplification!"

"Second Soul Skill, Agility Amplification!"

"Third Soul Skill, Soul Power Amplification!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Defense Amplification!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Attack Amplification!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Attribute Amplification!"

"Seven Treasure True Body, Amplification!"

Ning Fengzhi also exhausted all his Soul Power, doing everything in his power to give Chen Xin an enormous package of amplifications.

One after another, seven-colored rays enveloped Chen Xin and continuously strengthened him. Yan Chixia's eyelids twitched at the sight.

Shameless. This was truly shameless!

Since you people were being shameless, don't blame me for getting serious too.

"Buzz..." Yan Chixia activated his Soul Power, raised his arm, and opened his left hand. A flash of light appeared, and a longsword identical to the Xuanyuan Sword in his right hand materialized in his palm.

It was his Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul.

"Today, I will use these two swords to shatter your title as the number one attack Douluo, Chen Xin!" The nine black Soul Rings beneath Yan Chixia's feet shone as he shouted.

Then...

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar: Xuanyuan Sacred Sword."

The Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul shot out, likewise transforming into a giant sword hundreds of meters long and merging Yan Chixia with his sword. Instantly, all of Yan Chixia's attributes increased by 300%, while his attacks gained the effect of Wrath of the Human Emperor, increasing damage against Beast Martial Souls by 50%.

"Ninth Soul Skill, God and Demon Dual Slash!" Seeing Yan Chixia finally release his Martial Soul and likewise activate his Martial Soul Avatar, Chen Xin took a deep breath and used his strongest Soul Skill. With Ning Fengzhi's full amplification, even a level ninety-seven defense-type Titled Douluo might not be able to withstand this move. Yan Chixia was bound to lose!
