Surrounded by the Soul King

Chen Xin pointed his Seven Kill Sword at Spirit Kite Douluo, a disdainful smile on his face.

"You lot are just a move behind; why all the chatter? Come and meet your deaths!"

Chen Xin struck with his sword, bearing down directly upon the four of them.

Seeing the vacuum zone that had appeared within a hundred meters of the sect, Gu Rong joined the battle between the Title Douluos.

Spirit Kite saw the situation worsening; if this operation failed, she would undoubtedly face severe punishment from Bibi Dong.

Since she could not secure a quick victory, Li Tianyi became her breakthrough point. Even if the mission failed, bringing Li Tianyi back would balance her merits and demerits, sparing her from punishment.

As for Snake Lance Douluo and the others, she could not care less about them.

When Gu Rong charged in, Spirit Kite Douluo did not feel her attributes drop, which left her somewhat surprised.

"It wasn't you! Then what was that domain just now?"

Spirit Kite looked in astonishment at the small figure; that was certainly not the Slaughter God's Domain. There was no biting killing intent, only a Peerless battle intent that stood alone under heaven.

"Damn it! Everyone! Capture that child alive!"

Spirit Kite Douluo could not spare a hand to deal with Ling Chen, nor could she stop Ning Fengzhi from providing full support to Chen Xin and the others.

As the saying goes, to capture the bandits, first capture their king; if they took down Ning Fengzhi, the tide of battle could be reversed almost instantly.

However, they had already lost the initiative, and with the buffs from Chen Xin and Bone Dragon, they found it difficult to break free.

To reverse the situation, the final breakthrough was to capture Ling Chen alive.

After receiving the order, the Martial Soul Hall soul masters launched another charge. Attacking the city was now no different from throwing their lives away; even if Bone Dragon Douluo were not outside the walls, the Godly Zhuge Crossbows alone would ensure this vacuum zone remained.

"Kill!"

Level 40 Soul Ancestors and Level 50 Soul Kings charged one after another, a dark, dense mass of people sweeping forward like a tide.

But when they stepped into the Peerless Domain, they all froze.

The soul masters who had died earlier had not told them of the domain's terror, and even Spirit Kite Douluo in the sky had no time to relay this intelligence.

They had assumed what Ling Chen possessed was merely the Slaughter God's Domain, which would be slightly troublesome to deal with.

But to have their strength slashed by nearly half the moment they entered was somewhat terrifying. The key was that the opponent was a god of slaughter; trying to capture him alive would inevitably result in missing limbs.

They had heard of the title Severed Limb Demon Child, but that only carried weight in Slaughter City, and missing limbs were common on the battlefield.

They felt no fear; with their current cultivation levels and the ability to use soul skills, taking down Ling Chen should have been simple. But the appearance of this Peerless Domain truly made things difficult for them.

A 41% drop in all attributes was no joke. Sluggish reactions, lagging speed, strength that couldn't be exerted, accelerated soul power consumption...

For some soul masters, their defense even dropped into the negatives; they could shatter at the slightest touch.

Yet, watching the Title Douluos fall into a disadvantage, they could only grit their teeth and attack. It wasn't as if they lacked advantages; with hundreds or thousands of soul masters surrounding him, it was impossible for him to escape.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly called out a warning.

"Tianyi, come back quickly! As long as you hide in the sect, they won't be able to do anything!"

However, Ling Chen did not listen to Ning Fengzhi, instead walking toward the Martial Soul Hall army.

Opportunities to quickly acquire Martial Soul Origin were rare; large-scale human battles like this in the Douluo I era were few and far between.

Fortune favors the bold; he would kill until not a single piece of armor remained!

Ling Chen also wanted to see if, with his firepower fully unleashed, he could go toe-to-toe with these Soul Ancestors and Soul Kings.

"Kill!"

Ling Chen let out a roar and charged toward the dark, dense crowd.

Ling Chen's speed was immense; the 81% boost to all attributes allowed his small frame to erupt with power far exceeding that of a Level 30 Soul Elder.

"So fast!"

A Soul Ancestor saw the afterimage of a child swinging a Green Steel Sword toward him, while his own body felt incredibly sluggish.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Ten Tree Wall!"

Ten trees rose from the ground, forming a wooden wall two trees wide, which he hoped would block Ling Chen's momentum.

With a crisp "Crack!", Ling Chen's Green Steel Sword severed both the wood and the man. With the 81% strength boost and Ling Chen's year of cultivation, the power of the Green Steel Sword had reached an unstoppable level.

Seeing this, the other Soul Ancestors felt their legs tremble.

Is this even human? Breaking a Level 40 Soul Ancestor's skill with brute force alone without using a soul skill—did he think he was holding a Clear Sky Hammer?

Ling Chen looked up and met the eyes of these Soul Ancestors, his scarlet pupils filled with a thirst for slaughter. In the past year, he had never killed anyone, and now, this feeling of cutting through chaos like a sharp blade only fueled his intense killing intent.

The Soul Ancestors dared not slack, unleashing a barrage of various soul skills. Capturing Ling Chen alive was impossible; only by killing him could they hope to leave this place alive.

However, under the suppression of the Peerless Domain, not only were their soul skills significantly weakened, but there was also a slight delay in their activation.

To Ling Chen, it looked like a child picking up a stone, swinging it twice before throwing it. Following that, screams rang out one after another.

If he didn't seize such openings, was he supposed to wait for them to finish their attacks to see how powerful they were?

Ling Chen wove through the crowd, transforming into a heartless killing machine. Facing Soul Kings, Ling Chen bypassed them entirely.

Some Soul Kings had soul skills that could offset the reduction of the Peerless Domain through unilateral buffs; if Ling Chen engaged them, he would inevitably be dragged into a stalemate.

Once the encirclement formed, he would not be far from being captured alive.

As for those at the Soul Saint and Soul Emperor levels within Martial Soul Hall, most had been dispatched to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while the rest had been slain by Gu Rong.

After all, Martial Soul Hall would not deploy so many high-level combatants to deal with a support-type sect.

Those Soul Kings were no fools; although they could not match Ling Chen in speed, there were over thirty of them, and surrounding him was merely a matter of time.

Ning Fengzhi saw through the intentions of those Soul Kings and wanted to go out to assist Ling Chen, but he was held back by the many disciples of the sect.

"Sect Master, Li Tianyi's domain is indiscriminate. If you go in to provide him with buffs, you will also suffer from attribute reduction!"

"Exactly, if you go out and Martial Soul Hall finds an opening, we will be finished!"

What these disciples said was not unreasonable, leaving Ning Fengzhi to pace back and forth in anxiety.

"Fire arrows! Fire! Even if the range isn't enough, we must provide support to Li Tianyi!"

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly issued the order; he would never allow Ling Chen to be taken away.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Arrows tore through the sky, landing at the edge of the vacuum zone. No matter how they adjusted the angle of the Godly Zhuge Crossbows, they simply could not reach Ling Chen's position.

There was a gap of nearly two vacuum zones between them; a distance that would likely require siege-grade heavy crossbows to bridge.

As expected, a sharp sense of Killing Intent Perception told Ling Chen that he had already been surrounded.
