Skill Mastery, Seven Star Rapid Fire

Lu Zheng's remark made Ghost Douluo, who was hiding in the shadows, think he had been discovered.

But upon second thought, he realized the man had simply stumbled upon the truth by accident.

After all, no one would ever believe that four Soul Ancestors could slaughter so many Soul Kings.

Nevertheless, Ghost Douluo emerged, bringing two people with him.

One was the Lu Family's vice-patriarch, Lu Qing, who was Lu Zheng's son; the other was Lu Xiao, who possessed the mutated Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

"Father, save me..." Lu Qing cried out for help the moment he saw Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng ignored him, instead looking at Ghost Douluo and saying, "My Lu Family is completely finished this time. I admit defeat, but could you let me die with a clear understanding? What exactly is your background?"

"Patriarch Lu, you have misunderstood. This Seat has not made a move from start to finish. If you don't believe me, you can ask these two!" Ghost Douluo pointed at Lu Qing and Lu Xiao.

When the Lu Family had surrounded Xiao Chen and the others earlier, Lu Xiao and Lu Qing had both been watching. Although they could not see the specific events within the mental domain, they could confirm that no one else had intervened.

"Father, there was indeed no one else involved! A red radiance suddenly appeared out of thin air, and by the time the red light dissipated, all the clan elders had already perished!" Lu Qing said immediately.

Despite Lu Qing's testimony, Lu Zheng still could not believe it. He looked at Ghost Douluo and asked, "You don't expect me to believe that my Lu Family's elite were all taken out by those four, do you?"

"Is there a problem? I warned Patriarch Lu earlier that if you wanted to snatch someone from their hands, you must not hold back. It is a pity that Patriarch Lu did not take it to heart. Had you arrived sooner, your clansmen would not have ended up completely wiped out!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice suddenly drifted from afar.

Lu Zheng turned his head to see a figure flying through the air—it was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"A fine scheme, Excellency! You deliberately kept me occupied at the Soul Fighting Arena while secretly arranging for others to slaughter my clansmen. Now you put on a show; do you expect me to be grateful?" Lu Zheng knew he was doomed today and had nothing left to fear.

Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head slightly, his tone indifferent as he spoke: "There is one thing I did deceive you about; I was the one who brought Mystic Spear to Xilu City. Don't you want to kill him? Feel free to make your move. I can guarantee that I will not intervene in the slightest. How about that?"

As he finished speaking, he thought to himself, I won't make a move, but Old Ghost never said he wouldn't.

Chrysanthemum Douluo had great confidence in the Triple Martial Soul Fusion of Xiao Chen and Hu Liena, but he could not truly leave them to fend for themselves!

While Chrysanthemum Douluo was speaking, Xiao Chen had already released both his Bow Martial Soul and Long Spear Martial Soul.

"Twin Martial Souls!" Lu Zheng said in shock. "So 'Absolute String' and 'Mystic Spear' are the same person. Your Soul Power Level... this... this is impossible. Your Soul Power Level is only twenty-five, yet you can join forces with that 'Fox Fairy' to crush a group of Soul Ancestors. This is absolutely impossible!"

"Possible or not, just make your move and you'll find out!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said.

Once he finished speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand, sending Xiao Chen and the others away to a distance of about two hundred meters from Lu Zheng.

Ghost Douluo also took Lu Qing and Lu Xiao to a distant spot.

Lu Zheng did not understand what Chrysanthemum Douluo was planning, but things had reached such a point that he no longer feared any schemes.

Truly arrogant to the extreme! Even if these four all possess Twin Martial Souls, they could never contend with a level 68 Soul Emperor. If I can drag one of these top-tier geniuses to the grave with me today, it will be worth it! I want to see what kind of expression you will have when such a peerless talent is lost! Lu Zheng thought to himself.

This man was vicious and ruthless toward himself as well.

Knowing he was in a desperate situation with no hope of survival, he made up his mind to take a few people down with him.

He could not perceive the true cultivation of Chrysanthemum Douluo or Ghost Douluo, and had originally thought that if he faced either of them directly, he wouldn't even have the chance to drag anyone down with him.

Yet, these two had taken the initiative to give him an opportunity to fight four Soul Ancestors.

He would naturally not let such an opportunity slip by. Even if he could not escape death today, he would fight with all his might to make Xiao Chen and the others pay the price.

"Trying to use me as a stepping stone for these juniors? You underestimate me far too much!"

Lu Zheng muttered to himself, immediately releasing his Martial Soul—a war halberd—accompanied by six spirit rings: two yellow, three purple, and one black, the standard configuration for a Soul Emperor.

Facing a Soul King, Xiao Chen and his group dared to fight head-on, but against a level 68 Soul Emperor, they dared not be the least bit careless.

Xiao Chen and Hu Liena immediately unleashed their Triple Martial Soul Fusion.

When Lu Zheng saw Xiao Chen and Hu Liena perform the Triple Martial Soul Fusion, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

He was already shocked that Xiao Chen possessed Twin Martial Souls, but he truly had not expected that Xiao Chen and Hu Liena could perform a Triple Martial Soul Fusion.

Lu Zheng had heard of the Golden Iron Triangle and knew of the existence of Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skills, but he never imagined that such a skill could be performed by only two people.

The complete forms of the String Fox Phantom Bow and the Celestial Fox Moon-Chasing Arrow were also two distinct skills. The first was an enhanced version of the dual-martial soul mental domain: the Blurry Domain, covering a radius of three hundred meters.

Enemies within the domain would experience an accelerated drain of their mental power and soul power, while their vision would be obstructed, their mental perception masked, their speed reduced, and they would be subjected to gravity suppression and the manifestation of illusory dreams.

A level 68 Soul Emperor had strong mental power; his own cultivation was sufficient to resist the deep sinking of the illusory dreams, preventing him from losing his mind or falling into a trance, but he could not completely isolate himself from the erosion of the illusion.

While his consciousness remained clear enough to avoid being swallowed by the dream, the reality he saw was still filled with overlapping phantom shadows.

Thus, once Xiao Chen and Hu Liena deployed the Blurry Domain, Lu Zheng lost his sense of direction.

He could only see about three meters in front of him, and phantoms flickered constantly, disrupting his judgment and throwing his attack rhythm into chaos.

Having just fought a fierce battle, Xiao Chen and Hu Liena had consumed a significant amount of energy, so the duration of their Triple Martial Soul Fusion was considerably reduced.

Therefore, they could not afford a war of attrition with Lu Zheng and had to end the fight quickly.

Under the Triple Martial Soul Fusion, every 'Celestial Fox Moon-Chasing Arrow' possessed power comparable to the 'Full Moon' in the Enchantress state.

Although this move could pose a threat to a Soul Emperor, if the opponent were prepared, it would certainly not be a one-hit kill, especially against a level 68 Soul Emperor like Lu Zheng.

In their current state, Xiao Chen and Hu Liena could release the Celestial Fox Moon-Chasing Arrow four times, but Xiao Chen still felt it was not enough to be certain of victory.

Therefore, he intended to use the archer's ultimate technique: Seven Star Rapid Fire.

This was something Xiao Chen had just received from the system, a reward for his first time using the Triple Martial Soul Fusion against an enemy alongside Hu Liena.

Seven Star Rapid Fire, despite having "Seven Star" in its name, was by no means limited to seven arrows.

As long as one's soul power was abundant and one's mental power was sufficiently stable, one could fire continuously without pause.

With every additional arrow fired, the power condensed within the projectiles would stack, and the overall destructive force would surge layer by layer, leaping upward significantly.
