Battle Against Sword Douluo (Part 2)

Sword Douluo brushed his fingers across the blade of the Seven Kill Sword, and the notch just carved into it by the Green Steel Sword vanished as if it had never been there.

It was precisely this action that caused the spectators in the stands to gasp in unison.

That was the Seven Kill Sword! The Seven Kill Sword of a Title Douluo! To be able to inflict damage upon it with a mere iron sword—what kind of strength was required to achieve such a feat?

Tang Hao recalled Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer being covered in sword marks just a few days ago, and he was now certain that Li Tianyi's martial soul was incredibly domineering.

No wonder he was able to walk out of Slaughter City. Even Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword can barely hold up against him, let alone those people inside Slaughter City.

Ning Fengzhi remained calm and composed, though he could hardly conceal the shock in his heart.

"Sword Douluo has shifted from defense to offense! Li Tianyi is rolling continuously on the ground, his agile body dodging Sword Douluo's attacks!"

Bone Dragon Douluo shouted his commentary, though his voice had been unable to penetrate the energy barrier to reach the ears of Li Tianyi and the others since the match began.

Sword Douluo did not use any complex techniques; he simply swung his sword, yet the pressure was enough to keep Li Tianyi from even lifting his head.

Li Tianyi knew this could not go on. While activating his Peerless Domain, he rolled away to put some distance between himself and Sword Douluo.

Upon rising, Li Tianyi did not retreat; instead, he launched a counterattack. He had to survive the remaining three rounds before his soul power was exhausted.

Sword Douluo was caught off guard by Li Tianyi's domain, his attack rhythm affected by an all-encompassing debuff of approximately one percent.

Every time Li Tianyi's sword collided with the Seven Kill Sword, he tried to shatter it, but Sword Douluo neutralized the force with ease every single time.

Li Tianyi was also carefully observing Sword Douluo's moves; they appeared chaotic in rhythm, but in reality, they were designed to strike only after the opponent had made their move.

Sword Douluo relied on simple sword techniques, yet they were enough to keep him in an invincible position.

Chen Xin's expression, however, was grave; the influence of the Peerless Domain was deepening. With every clash of their weapons, the debuff increased by another one percent.

Not only that, but Chen Xin also discovered that Li Tianyi's domain was expanding continuously throughout their battle, and Li Tianyi's own buffs were also rising steadily in percentage across the board.

"It's getting more and more interesting. If Chen Xin doesn't finish Li Tianyi off soon, he's going to be in trouble!"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi say this, Tang Hao shook his head in disagreement.

"No need to worry. Even with innate soul power, it is nearly impossible to maintain the consumption of a domain for long. Especially one that continues to expand like this."

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and felt that Tang Hao's words held some truth. However, these were merely their speculations; the actual situation remained to be seen in the coming battle.

The two were locked in an inseparable struggle, but the audience could no longer sit still.

"Sword Douluo! Stop holding back and finish this brat with one strike!"

"Stop testing him! I think he's just trying to ride on your reputation, Sword Douluo, so he can brag about it later!"

The shouts of the audience were earth-shattering, but these sounds were blocked by the energy barrier and could not reach the two combatants.

"Li Tianyi, your domain lacks any biting killing intent. This shouldn't be your Slaughter God's Domain, should it?"

Li Tianyi did not answer, which was taken as an admission. However, this gave him an idea: if he were to integrate killing intent into his Peerless Domain, would it become a Slaughter God's Domain?

Bone Dragon Douluo, floating above the arena, was still providing commentary when he suddenly felt himself enveloped by an invisible force.

"It actually broke through the energy barrier and spread all the way here! Is this still the Slaughter God's Domain I know?"

Bone Dragon Douluo looked in disbelief at Chen Xin, who was still fighting. The buffs and debuffs of Li Tianyi's Peerless Domain had reached a staggering 20 percent.

This was an all-encompassing increase and decrease; soul power consumption, agility, strength, defense, and even spirit—the gap between them was widening continuously.

What was terrifying was that Li Tianyi's domain was still expanding, and the percentage of the buffs and debuffs was still climbing.

Originally, when he had not yet awakened his martial soul, using the Peerless Domain consumed his Martial Soul Origin to generate soul power, and the percentage-based recovery of soul power could not be fed back into it.

Therefore, Li Tianyi's Peerless Domain could not last long, and it had exacerbated the consumption of his Martial Soul Origin.

But now, being able to utilize soul power made him comparable to a perpetual motion machine.

Even though he was only at level ten, maintaining such a domain for a long time with a percentage-based soul power recovery buff was quite easy, not to mention that the buff was still increasing.

However, there was a limit to this. Li Tianyi had already reached his maximum capacity by expanding the domain to the spectator stands.

The buff and debuff stopped at 25 percent, and Li Tianyi had already survived the fourth round.

"Have you stopped the expansion and the debuffs? Li Tianyi, you truly have opened my eyes! To possess such means at six years old—it really makes one envious!"

Chen Xin slid his sword through the air, and an incredibly fast sword qi surged toward Li Tianyi.

"However, it won't be so easy to become my disciple!"

Li Tianyi dodged the sword qi, but his alert Killing Intent Perception sensed that the killing intent had not vanished; instead, it had intensified significantly.

Li Tianyi rolled to the side, only to see the Seven Kill Sword pierce the spot where he had just been, followed immediately by a horizontal sweep.

Li Tianyi raised his sword to block, but a powerful, explosive force collided with the Green Steel Sword, sending him flying.

The Seven Kill Sword shattered into two pieces, the broken blade falling onto the arena floor. Yet, Chen Xin's assault did not stop; even holding the broken sword, he charged toward Li Tianyi in mid-air.

His Killing Intent Perception screamed with warnings, and Li Tianyi felt a sense of endless, suffocating despair. Killing intent surged within his eyes, and a thick, bloody aura erupted, forcing Chen Xin back.

After landing, Li Tianyi no longer possessed his usual calm. The monstrous killing intent merged into his Peerless Domain, instantly forming a thick, blood-red mist that covered the entire arena.

"Bang bang--!"

"Bang bang--!"

Everyone could hear their own heartbeats accelerating as waves of negative emotions flooded their minds. It felt as if they were standing in the depths of hell, watching a god of slaughter reaping the lives of living beings.

Tang Hao and Bone Dragon Douluo were the first to regain their senses; a twenty-five percent mental suppression had actually managed to trap these two Title Douluo in an illusion.

Tang Hao immediately unleashed his Slaughter God's Domain, temporarily helping the audience suppress this power.

Chen Xin's brows were tightly furrowed. Ling Chen's current state was deeply wrong, and he was there laughing with a hideous, manic intensity.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Why! Why do you all love to bully me! Are you only satisfied once you have splattered this land with blood?"

Suddenly, Ling Chen's figure vanished. Chen Xin sensed that something was amiss; the buffs and debuffs of Ling Chen's Peerless Domain had actually doubled at this very moment!

The situation was spiraling toward an uncontrollable direction. If Ling Chen could not be stopped, a massacre would be unavoidable.

"Move! Suppress him!"

The moment Chen Xin spoke, Bone Dragon Douluo and Clear Sky Douluo instantly arrived on the arena. Ning Fengzhi immediately evacuated the audience, activating his Seven Treasures True Body to provide buffs to the three of them.

The powerful pressure from the three of them instantly scattered the blood mist, and Ling Chen was slammed hard against the ground by the force, unable to move.
