Seven Kill Domain

I saw an old man, his white robes whiter than snow, his hair and beard as white as frost. His expression was as cold as ten-thousand-year black ice, and he cradled a primitive longsword in his arms. Just by standing there, he radiated a sharp sword intent that made even the space around him tremble!

He was the pillar supporting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—Sword Douluo, Chen Xin!

The other old man was tall and robust, with a resolute face and a disdainful gaze. The space around him rippled and distorted, as if he existed within his own domain. Who else could possess such a heavy, domineering aura but Bone Douluo, Gu Rong?!

"Chen Xin! Gu Rong!" Yue Guan's voice carried an air of disbelief and shock. "What... what is the meaning of this, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?!"

He had never expected that the ones intercepting them would be these two super Douluo who were famous throughout the continent!

The black mist of Ghost Douluo churned violently, revealing his extreme inner turmoil.

The simultaneous appearance of the Sword and Bone Douluo was definitely no coincidence!

Chen Xin cradled the Seven Kill Sword, his indifferent eyes sweeping over Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo. His cold voice sounded like the friction of sword blades: "You shall not pass."

Gu Rong grinned, revealing his stark white teeth. A warlike light flickered in his eyes, and his voice boomed like a bell: "Chrysanthemum Guan, Old Ghost, long time no see! You two look to be in such a hurry, where are you off to for some fun? Why not... stay behind and loosen up your bones with this old man?"

He clenched his fists, his knuckles popping with a crisp, cracking sound.

The hearts of Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo sank to the bottom of their pits.

They knew they were in big trouble! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had actually gone so far as to dispatch two of their sect-protecting Douluo to intercept them!

What did this mean? Could it be that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had reached some kind of agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that they were unaware of?

Or perhaps... the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted to snatch the prey from the tiger's mouth?!

Regardless of the possibility, this hurdle before them would certainly not be easy to overcome!

With two level-95 super Douluo blocking their path, even with the tacit coordination of the Chrysanthemum and Ghost and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it would inevitably be a bitter battle. Furthermore... their mission would likely be completely delayed!

Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo's hearts sank. Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, these two level-96 super Douluo, had appeared together, and their intent was self-evident—they were here specifically to obstruct Martial Soul Hall's operation to capture the "Holy Wing King," Yu!

"Chen Xin! Gu Rong!" Yue Guan's voice was filled with irrepressible anger and shock. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand shone brilliantly, its golden petals flowing with sharp soul power. "Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect openly making an enemy of my Martial Soul Hall?! All for the sake of a mere beast?!"

"A mere beast?" Gu Rong laughed loudly, his laughter causing the valley to hum.

"Chrysanthemum Guan, the way you put it, it sounds as if your Martial Soul Hall mobilized such a massive force, sending two Title Douluo plus two elite squads, just for a spring outing? If that beast can make you and the Old Ghost so 'concerned,' it must have its own extraordinary qualities."

"As for being enemies..." Gu Rong's eyes suddenly turned sharp as knives, and a heavy, domineering pressure slammed toward Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo. "It is your Martial Soul Hall that has overreached!"

Chen Xin cradled the Seven Kill Sword, remaining silent from start to finish. Yet, when his calm, unruffled eyes swept over Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo, the pressure they brought was even more lethal than Gu Rong's unbridled aura.

The black mist around Ghost Douluo churned violently, and his hoarse voice carried the grating sound of metal rubbing against metal: "Chen Xin, Gu Rong."

"His Holiness the Pope is determined to obtain that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It slaughtered the Heaven Dou princes and dukes and severely injured the empire's consultants. Its ferocity is monstrous; if left to exist, it will surely become a scourge to the continent!"

"Martial Soul Hall's actions are to act on behalf of the heavens and maintain the peace of the continent. Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect trying to harbor such a vicious beast? Does Sect Master Ning know the gravity of this?"

"Act on behalf of the heavens?" Chen Xin finally spoke, his voice as cold as spring water hitting stone, every word seemingly carrying a chilling sword intent. "Since when did the 'Way' of Martial Soul Hall become something to be carried out on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Xue Beng and Xue Xing brought this upon themselves, and Dugu Bo was simply outmatched. As for being a scourge..." Chen Xin's gaze was like lightning, staring straight at Ghost Douluo. "The fact that Martial Soul Hall desires its soul ring and soul bone is known to everyone. There is no need for such high-sounding rhetoric."

He took a small step forward, and with just that tiny movement, the killing intent between heaven and earth doubled instantly!

Although the Seven Kill Sword had not left his hand, his invisible sword domain had already unfolded, enveloping Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo, and the team of Martial Soul Hall soul masters behind them.

The sharp sword intent sliced through the air, emitting faint hissing sounds. The weaker soul masters of Martial Soul Hall turned pale instantly, feeling their skin prickle as if countless invisible blades were hanging over their heads.

"Old Ghost, it seems reasoning is not going to work!" Yue Guan's face was as gloomy as water; he knew there would be no easy way out today.

He and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, reaching a tacit understanding instantly. The nine soul rings on their bodies flared with light simultaneously, especially the final black ten-thousand-year soul ring, which shone with a blinding intensity!

"Seventh Soul Skill: Singular Velvet True Body!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Ghost True Body!"

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum expanded instantly, transforming into a towering giant flower with golden light and petal-blades. A rich, floral fragrance filled with strong paralytic and corrosive toxins began to spread.

Ghost Douluo's figure merged completely into the churning, thick black mist, transforming into a massive, blurred ghost shadow that radiated a cold, deathly aura. Countless shrill wails seemed to come from the netherworld, chilling the soul.

The two Title Douluo had directly activated their Martial Soul True Bodies, clearly intending to go all out to break through the blockade of the Sword and Bone Douluo as quickly as possible!

"Hmph! So you're getting serious? This old man will keep you company!" Gu Rong laughed wildly, his bones popping and cracking.

His entire body instantly expanded and grew taller, his skin covered in grayish-white bone armor. Huge bone wings extended from his back, and his head was covered by a ferocious bone helmet, transforming him into a towering, massive bone dragon—the Bone Dragon True Body!

Violent spatial energy vibrated from his center, as if it were about to twist and crush this entire world.

"Sword-man! Do it!"

Chen Xin nodded slightly, his eyes as sharp as swords.

Facing the aggressive Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo who had activated their True Bodies, he was in no rush to activate his own Seven Kill True Body. The longsword he cradled was finally raised slowly, its tip pointing diagonally forward.

There was no earth-shattering explosion of soul power, only a sword intent so pure that it seemed capable of severing karma and shattering all laws, rising into the sky!

"Domain: Seven Kill!"

In an instant, with Chen Xin as the center, the space within a radius of several hundred meters seemed to be forcibly stripped away, transforming into an independent world filled with endless sword qi!

Countless solid and illusory Seven Kill Sword shadows appeared out of thin air, hovering in the sky, all pointing their tips toward Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo!

Each sword shadow radiated a sharp aura that made the soul tremble. Within the domain, the air itself had turned into the sharpest of blades, slicing at the protective soul power of the intruders.

This was Chen Xin's Seven Kill Domain!
