Purify Character Art, Why Was Liang Born When Yu Already Existed?

"Porcupinefish Douluo's judgment was wrong."

"What?"

Snake Lance Douluo looked at the Young Master in confusion.

Just from the way he had appeared, Snake Lance Douluo had sensed that Lin Yi's Martial Soul was no inferior to the Seven Kill Sword.

Qian Renxue continued:

"Lin Yi's Martial Soul isn't merely comparable to the Seven Kill Sword. It surpasses the Seven Kill Sword—one could even say it completely stands above it."

Qian Renxue's Angel Martial Soul had always been nearly above all Martial Souls, making her more sensitive to the differences in Martial Soul quality.

Especially since Lin Yi's Fire Sword and Chen Feng's Seven Kill Sword were both Sword Martial Souls.

Among Martial Souls of the same type, she could see the difference in quality even more clearly.

If she had not been mistaken, the Seven Kill Sword had definitely been trembling.

Such trembling could only occur between similar Martial Souls whose qualities differed enormously.

Even Qian Renxue found this discovery hard to believe.

Though the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul could not compare to the Angel Martial Soul, it was still a top-tier Martial Soul.

If its inheritors had not been so scarce, it might even have been able to compete with the Clear Sky Hammer for the title of greatest Weapon Martial Soul.

How could a Martial Soul of such quality be so vastly inferior to another Sword Martial Soul?

Qian Renxue's curiosity toward Lin Yi rose another level.

Someone possessing such a Martial Soul inheritance could never be an unknown nobody.

"Investigate Lin Yi's identity and background. Could he be the heir of some hidden Soul Master family?"

On the Soul Fighting Platform.

After the host slid away, Chen Feng did not attack immediately.

"I have always regretted that the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul had no sword-type Martial Soul capable of contending against it. Your appearance came at just the right time."

"Is that so? I have a bit of that regret too, but your appearance is not particularly important to me," Lin Qi replied.

"Hmph!"

Chen Feng's brows twitched as sword intent filled with killing aura soared into the sky.

The Seven Kill Sword Technique was heavily steeped in slaughter, and Chen Feng transformed all his anger into killing intent.

His Seven Kill Sword Technique had entered an entirely new realm.

Almost at the same time, Lin Qi's sword intent rose as well.

His violent flame sword intent seemed capable of corroding and incinerating everything, including Chen Feng's killing intent.

Neither used a Soul Skill. As their figures flashed, the Seven Kill Sword and the Fire Mountain River Sword collided in an instant.

Chen Feng was two major realms above Lin Qi.

Yet Lin Qi's physical strength was incomparably formidable, while the Mountain River Sword Martial Soul possessed powerful suppression against Weapon Martial Souls.

Thus, after this exchange of swords, Chen Feng was the one who staggered back repeatedly.

"Use your full strength. Otherwise, you won't even be able to make this interesting for me."

Chen Feng truly had not used his full strength.

He believed he was one major realm above Lin Yi, and out of pride, he had deliberately suppressed part of his power.

But after that strike, he saw reality clearly.

If he did not go all out, he would quickly fall into a disadvantage and might even lose outright.

From that simple exchange, he had not only felt Lin Yi's inhuman strength, but also the weakness of his own Martial Soul.

The Seven Kill Sword seemed to resist clashing with Lin Yi's Fire Sword, as though such a collision was a terrifying experience for it.

The Seven Kill Sword's emotions were transmitted into Chen Feng's heart, creating a crack in his state of mind.

He could not lose this battle.

Even if his Martial Soul was inferior, he absolutely could not lose.

"Kill!"

The Kill Character Art emerged in response.

This was the strongest move Chen Feng had mastered in the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

Three "kill" characters brimming with killing intent appeared and tore through the air toward Lin Qi.

Each "kill" character carried dense slaughtering sword intent. If one's will was not firm enough, one might even give up resisting and await execution.

But Lin Qi was clearly not among them.

Chen Feng's Kill Character Art also stirred Lin Qi's insight.

He did not use the Prairie Fire Sea that he had temporarily comprehended during the previous battle.

Flame's violent nature was completely restrained, transforming instead into a pure yet powerful force of purification.

Lin Qi turned his wrist, and his long sword likewise slashed through three "kill" characters.

Yet these three "kill" characters contained not the slightest trace of killing intent.

Lin Qi's Inspiration Sword made Chen Feng's heart tremble violently.

How does Lin Yi know my family's inherited sword technique too? That's impossible.

But he quickly realized that Lin Yi's Kill Character Art merely looked the part and contained none of the killing intent that formed the core of the Kill Character Art.

Yet this discovery did not reassure Chen Feng. Instead, it shocked him even more.

Because it meant Lin Yi did not know the Seven Kill Sword Technique at all. He had simply imitated it on the spot after seeing Chen Feng's sword technique.

Such talent, such brilliance.

Chen Feng knew he could not compare, that the gap between them was so vast he could scarcely even glimpse the other's back.

For a moment, a sense of defeat arose in his heart.

As a genius, he seemed so dim and insignificant before Lin Yi.

But his shock rose several more levels in the next instant.

The "kill" characters he had considered empty imitations did not collapse upon contact when they met his Kill Character Art.

The white flames seemed to possess no temperature at all, yet the killing intent contained within his Kill Character Art vanished in an instant.

Three consecutive "kill" characters had their killing aura purified away, while Lin Qi's "kill" characters transformed into "purify" characters.

The Kill Character Art was broken, and the Purify Character Art emerged.

"Is he even human?"

The shock in Chen Feng's heart had reached an indescribable extent.

He dearly wanted to believe that Lin Yi's sword technique had been specially created to counter his Seven Kill Sword Technique, the result of a long-planned scheme against the Seven Kill Sword.

But reason told him that this was simply Lin Yi's improvisation.

As the Purify Character Art closed in, Chen Feng felt no fear or threat whatsoever. Even his own killing intent was rapidly fading away.

This was completely abnormal.

When using the Seven Kill Sword Technique, he should have been gathering intense killing intent. How could his killing intent dissipate on its own?

Before he could think further, Chen Feng's first three Soul Rings lit up simultaneously.

Spirit Sword Guard formed layer upon layer of defenses, and he dodged the Purify Character Art at extreme speed.

Just as he had not wanted to use the Soul Power of the Soul Ancestor realm, Chen Feng had not wanted to use Soul Skills either.

He had originally planned to compete with Lin Yi using pure swordsmanship, since Lin Yi had not used Soul Skills either.

But cruel reality shattered his resolve. If he did not use Soul Skills, he would immediately lose to this move.

The Seven Kill Sword, having completely lost its killing intent, could not even display thirty percent of its power.

When the Purify Character Art met Spirit Sword Guard, it was like a branding iron meeting fresh snow, instantly piercing through it.

However, Chen Feng had already dodged it. At the same time, his fourth Soul Ring lit up.

At this point, there was no need to maintain his so-called pride and persistence.

Pride could only be preserved when one held an absolute advantage in strength. Clearly, Chen Feng was no longer qualified for it.

Layer upon layer of sword shadows transformed into a hurricane and swept toward Lin Qi.

Lin Qi's eyes flickered.

This Soul Skill was not bad either.

A Flame Vortex gathered around Lin Qi and collided with Chen Feng's hurricane.

A large portion of Chen Feng's Sword Shadow Hurricane was dyed red, and the crimson color continued spreading toward Chen Feng.

The entire Soul Fighting Platform became the domain of a Flame Storm.

Pain!

Chen Feng's entire body hurt.

His own Sword Shadow Hurricane was now controlled by his opponent and attacking him instead.

But what hurt more than his body was Chen Feng's heart.

He could clearly sense that Lin Yi's move bore a striking resemblance to his Sword Shadow Hurricane.

If Lin Yi's on-the-spot creation of the Purify Character Art from his Kill Character Art had already shaken him to the core,

then Lin Yi's ability to imitate even his Fourth Soul Skill on the spot now drove him into despair.

How could such a monster exist in this world?

"Since the Seven Kill Sword was born, why was the Fire God Sword also born?"

The pain vanished, the Flame Hurricane dissipated, and a blazing longsword hung one inch before Chen Feng's throat.
