"Hmph, don't be so arrogant! Haotian Righteous Qi, Sun and Moon Shine Together!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Heavenly Dao Judgment!"
Yan Chixia swung his twin swords, unleashing both his spell attack and his Ninth Soul Skill at once.
[Haotian Righteous Qi, Sun Moon Strange Light] used flying swords to absorb and reflect the opponent's energy attacks.
[Heavenly Dao Judgment] summoned a phantom Xuanyuan Sword to descend from the heavens, delivering an unavoidable strike against a single target.
With both techniques unleashed, one for defense and one for offense, even Bibi Dong had no way to secure victory.
Otherwise, given Bibi Dong's temperament, how could she possibly tolerate someone repeatedly pointing at her nose and cursing her to her face?
"BOOM!"
Very soon, the two men's soul skills collided. In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, and the shockwaves produced by the terrifying clash swept through the entirety of Heaven Dou City.
Great Soul Arena.
"W-what's going on? What happened?" As the ground shook, many Soul Masters and spectators inside cried out in alarm.
Having just knocked down his opponent and dismissed his Sun Moon Halberd martial soul, Ye Zhou also looked shocked.
An earthquake?
The novel never mentioned an earthquake happening in Heaven Dou City!
"Young Sect Master, I'll escort you out of here." Yue Buqun immediately came to Ye Zhou's side and said.
"Mm." Ye Zhou nodded. He had already finished two matches and loosened up a bit. There was no point in staying any longer; it was time to leave.
Thus, the two quickly headed toward the exit of the Great Soul Arena.
Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded. She had never expected that, even with her enhancement, the two people facing Ye Zhou in the Soul Arena would still lose.
Was her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancement not strong enough?
How could that be? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the number-one support martial soul in the world!
"Mm, it must be because those two were too useless. That has to be it!" Looking at the two Soul Masters who had lost to Ye Zhou being carried away, Ning Rongrong nodded and told herself.
"Young Miss!" At that moment, several disciples from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who had been hiding in the shadows to protect her also came to her side. "This place isn't safe. We'll take you away."
"Why are you here?" Ning Rongrong quickly realized what was going on and angrily said, "You've been secretly following me all this time?"
"This was the Sect Master's order. You snuck out alone, and the Sect Master was worried. Young Miss, we should leave quickly. We don't know whether this is an earthquake or high-level Soul Masters fighting nearby," the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples explained.
"Hmph, let's go. I'll deal with you when we get back," Ning Rongrong huffed petulantly. Then, following the group, she quickly left the Great Soul Arena as well.
On the roof of the Great Soul Arena.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, stood there. Though shockwaves came rushing in from afar, she remained completely unmoved.
The place where Yan Chixia and Chen Xin were fighting was some distance away. By the time the shockwaves reached here, their power had already weakened greatly. They could only make the buildings shake violently a few times and could not hurt Qian Renxue at all.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two figures clad in black cloaks appeared behind Qian Renxue. They were none other than Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo.
"What happened?" Qian Renxue asked.
"It's Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Dugu Bo. They ran into Yan Chixia, Yue Guan, and Ghostly, and they're fighting fiercely," Porcupinefish Douluo answered.
"Oh? Didn't Elder Yan issue an order at the Martial Soul Holy Hall forbidding conflicts with other forces?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "How did they end up fighting?"
"Yue Guan was dining out today when Dugu Bo spotted him and tried to poison him..." Snake Lance Douluo told Qian Renxue what had happened.
After hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded. "So that's what happened. Hmph, that Dugu Bo was truly courting death. He actually dared to poison Ju Elder. Did he not know that his poison could not deal with any Titled Douluo? Not to mention that Ju Elder knew a thing or two about poison himself."
Besides...
"You said Elder Yan rushed over immediately after hearing that Ju Elder and Gui Elder were in danger?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Yes."
"I remember the information sent back from Spirit City said that Elder Yan and... that woman had a terrible relationship, didn't it?"
"Terrible is an understatement. They argued every day and even came to blows before. Yan Chixia had pointed at the Pope's nose and cursed her to her face more than once," Snake Lance Douluo said.
"Mm." Qian Renxue nodded. Because of this, she had developed a certain degree of goodwill toward Yan Chixia.
Anyone who hated that woman had to be a decent person.
What was more, when Yan Chixia had first gone to Spirit City, he had wanted to join the Douluo Worship Hall. He had even been received by her grandfather, who personally arranged for him to enter the Elder Hall and assist that woman.
In Qian Renxue's view, her grandfather had made those arrangements so Yan Chixia could keep an eye on that woman for him.
Though she did not know why Yan Chixia later chose to remain in Heaven Dou City and even dragged Ghostly and Yue Guan into staying there with him, her grandfather had no objections to it, so neither did she.
Moreover, having three Spirit Hall Titled Douluo openly stationed nearby was a good thing for her.
In short, Qian Renxue saw Yan Chixia as someone on her side, a major source of support when she reclaimed power from that woman in the future!
"Elders, do you think Elder Yan can defeat Sword Douluo?" Qian Renxue asked the two men.
"Chen Xin's Soul Power was Rank 96. Yan Chixia only broke through to Rank 95 not long ago. However, all nine of Yan Chixia's soul rings are ten-thousand-year rings, and even the weakest is seventy thousand years old. His soul skills are stronger than Chen Xin's, though his endurance is slightly lacking. If they fought, he should have a sixty-five percent chance of winning. But with Ning Fengzhi's amplification, Yan Chixia would certainly be no match for him." Porcupinefish Douluo thought for a moment before answering.
"No, no, no. That's only in a one-on-one fight. Aren't Ghostly and Yue Guan there too? Even if Chen Xin's side also has Dugu Bo, Yan Chixia's side would still have the higher odds of winning if they fought." Snake Lance Douluo shook his head.
"I think so too. Since that's the case, we'll go over later. Once my teacher has suffered a major loss, this disciple of his can go clean up the mess for him." A slight curve lifted Qian Renxue's lips as she spoke softly.
Qian Renxue and the other two did not know the full extent of Yan Chixia's strength. They believed that Yan Chixia needed Ghostly and Yue Guan's help to defeat Chen Xin, who had been amplified by Ning Fengzhi. Little did they know that Yan Chixia's strength far exceeded their imagination.
Pfft!
The attack from the Ninth Soul Skill, God and Demon Dual Slash, was blocked by [Haotian Righteous Qi, Sun Moon Strange Light], with part of it reflected back.
The enormous phantom of the Xuanyuan Sword descending from the sky struck Chen Xin's Seven Kill True Body. After less than a moment of stalemate, it forced it into the ground. Then, the Martial Soul Avatar shattered, and Chen Xin spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell toward the ground.
He had lost.
Even with Ning Fengzhi's amplification, he had still lost to Yan Chixia, whose Soul Power was one rank below his own.
Yan Chixia had not only blocked an attack that even a Rank 97 defense-type Titled Douluo might not have been able to withstand, but had even reflected part of it back. And his Ninth Soul Skill... it was far too powerful. Even Chen Xin's Martial Soul Avatar could not endure it.
Yan Chixia stood proudly in the sky, looking at Sword Douluo as he fell toward the ground and at Ning Fengzhi, whose entire face had gone pale not far away. He shouted boldly, "Starting today, the title of Number One Attack Douluo Under Heaven belongs to someone else. I, Yan Chixia, am the Number One Attack Douluo Under Heaven!"
