Chen Xin vs. the Haotian Brothers

Chen Xin vs. the Haotian Brothers

Haotian Nine Wonders: Empty Word Art, Seal Word Art, Pierce Word Art, Penetrate Word Art, Entangle Word Art, Vibrate Word Art, Break Word Art, Brake Word Art, Collapse Word Art.

Tang Xiao unleashed every one of the Clear Sky Hammer's sect-defining techniques, the Haotian Nine Wonders. At the same time, Sword Douluo continuously counterattacked with the Seven Kill Swordplay. Hammer and sword collided, sending sparks flying without end.

The Soul Masters present subconsciously widened their eyes. When had they ever seen so many Self-Created Soul Skills? For a Soul Master, possessing even one Self-Created Soul Skill was already remarkable. Yet the Clear Sky Sect and Sword Douluo casually threw them out one after another, without repeating a single one. No one could compare to such foundations.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Awe-Inspiring in All Directions!"

"Soaring Sky Strike!"

Boom!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"

Sword Douluo leaped into the air, and the sixth Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up. Before him appeared Seven Kill Swords formed from Soul Power, each over a hundred meters long. Like a torrential downpour, they rained down upon Tang Xiao.

"Haotian Body Protection!"

The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Xiao's hand blazed with black light and spun before him, transforming into a black shield that blocked the endless rain of swords, with hundreds falling every second.

The deflected Seven Kill Swords embedded themselves in the arena, yet for some reason, they did not dissipate.

The eighth Soul Ring beneath Sword Douluo's feet suddenly lit up. With a lift of his finger, the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul flew into the air. Not only that, the Seven Kill Swords formed from Soul Power below also rose into the sky.

"It's over, Tang Xiao!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Seven Kill Thunder Rises, One Sword Shatters the Sky!"

Countless Seven Kill Swords merged into one. The Seven Kill Sword rapidly expanded, becoming an enormous sword dozens of meters long. All its sword qi condensed upon the blade without leaking even the slightest bit. Yet Soul Masters below the Soul Sage rank felt unbearable pain in their eyes after just one glance at the sapphire-like Seven Kill Sword. Those with even lower Soul Power had blood streaming from their eyes.

On the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's side, Bone Douluo spread out his Spiritual Power and formed a protective barrier to prevent Bibi Dong's eyes from being injured.

The massive Seven Kill Sword slashed downward, seeming as though it would split even space in two.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"

Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul swelled as well. Its hammerhead was as large as a small hill, and the hammer's body was not much smaller than the Seven Kill Sword.

However, because Tang Xiao had used his Martial Soul True Body a half-beat too late, he had no time to gather strength and swing the Clear Sky Hammer. Thus, when the Clear Sky Hammer collided with the Seven Kill Sword, a deafening metallic crash rang out. The two sides ended in a draw.

"I lost."

Tang Xiao admitted defeat. His glowing seventh Soul Ring dimmed, and the Clear Sky Hammer shrank. He had not conceded because the Clear Sky Hammer had lost in a direct clash with the Seven Kill Sword. Rather, several Seven Kill Swords condensed from Soul Power still hovered around him. These had been created by Sword Douluo's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. He had not gathered all of them into his eighth Soul Skill and had deliberately held several back.

He had used his eighth Soul Skill to lure Tang Xiao into abandoning his defensive methods and activating his Martial Soul True Body. Then, the Seven Kill Swords that had not been incorporated into the eighth Soul Skill came into play.

Tang Xiao had been one move behind and lost to Sword Douluo.

"Senior Chen Xin, let me be your opponent!"

The moment Tang Xiao conceded, Tang Hao jumped down.

Sword Douluo frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. Was this going to go on one after another without end? Tang Xiao had at least been a Soul Douluo, but Tang Hao was merely a Soul Emperor.

Ning Fengzhi also frowned. "Sect Master Tang Zhen, we have fulfilled your request for Tang Xiao to fight Uncle Sword, and Uncle Sword has already won. Aren't you going against our agreement by doing this?"

Tang Zhen said, "Quite the contrary, Sect Master Ning. Sword Douluo, Hao'er has inherited the old sect master's true teachings. He is the next generation's Clear Sky Douluo of our Clear Sky Sect."

The next generation's Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect!

At those words, the older Soul Masters present all revealed looks of reverence. The previous generation's Clear Sky Douluo had been Tang Chen, one of the Twin Peaks of the Soul Master world.

Everyone knew that every Soul Master who broke through to become a Titled Douluo had to enter Douluo Hall to receive their title. However, the Clear Sky Douluo was an exception. Spirit Hall had publicly declared that the title Clear Sky Douluo belonged exclusively to the Clear Sky Sect. It did not need to receive a title from Douluo Hall, nor did Douluo Hall have the authority to bestow it.

The Clear Sky Douluo was the strongest Soul Master of the Clear Sky Sect to wield the Clear Sky Hammer at the same rank!

Hearing this, Sword Douluo's gaze grew serious. If Tang Hao had merely been an ordinary Clear Sky Sect disciple like Tang Xiao, he naturally would not have accepted such a rude challenge. But Tang Hao was the future Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, and that qualified him.

As long as he defeated Tang Hao, the Seven Kill Sword would unquestionably be the number one tool Martial Soul on the continent. Otherwise, even if he refused now, Tang Hao would still challenge him after breaking through to Titled Douluo. If he lost then, the Seven Kill Sword would once again be pushed down from its position. With Sword Douluo's pride, that was unacceptable. If this had to be settled, it would be settled once and for all.

"Tang Hao, since you are the future Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, this old man accepts your challenge."

Tang Hao respectfully cupped his hands. "Thank you, Senior Chen Xin. Senior Chen Xin, do you need to rest?"

Sword Douluo chuckled. "When you reach the Titled Douluo realm, you'll understand just how immense the Soul Power within your body truly is. Come."

Scarlet killing intent suddenly erupted from Tang Hao's body, forming a small domain.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings appeared. Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul in his hand. His Soul Power Level was 68, and the scarlet killing intent stained the Clear Sky Hammer with a trace of blood-red.

"This is... Divine Slaughter's Domain." Sword Douluo's expression grew more solemn.

"Divine Slaughter's Domain. I have only heard Uncle mention that the previous Clear Sky Douluo possessed it. I never expected Tang Hao to have this domain as well. That means Tang Hao made it through the City of Slaughter. No wonder there has been no news of him these past few years." Ning Fengzhi sighed. This was also his first time seeing the legendary Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Bibi Dong asked doubtfully, "Brother Fengzhi, what is the City of Slaughter? How come I've never heard of it?"

Ning Fengzhi shot Bibi Dong a reproachful look. "I told you to study properly and stop being so playful. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has records of the City of Slaughter. It is a true hell on earth, but anyone who walks out of it receives an enormous reward. That reward is the Divine Slaughter's Domain on Tang Hao."

Bibi Dong pouted slightly. Wasn't this exactly the age when she was supposed to be playful? It was already enough that she had to cultivate diligently—did she really have to study properly too?

Seeing Bibi Dong like this, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly turned his gaze back to the arena. That tempting mouth, that captivating face... even his composure was somewhat difficult to maintain. Dong'er, did you really not know how attractive you were?

In the arena, a pale white sword qi erupted from Chen Xin and stood in opposition to Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain. This was the domain Chen Xin had cultivated from the Seven Kill Sword: the Seven Kill Domain.
