Chen Xin's martial soul evolution had made his attack power even stronger.
Once the sword was drawn, someone had to die!
His sword was meant for killing.
Either he killed someone, or someone killed him.
Seven Kill Sword, Seven Kill Sword—seven swords unleashed, Death Sentence Sword!
"That was more or less what it meant."
"I can unleash nine incredibly powerful Death Sentence killing swords. If even all nine fail to kill my opponent, then my time to die will have come."
Chen Xin did not think it was a bad thing. On the contrary, he was thrilled. A stronger martial soul meant greater strength.
Xu Xiao carefully examined the Deadly Seven Kill Sword in Chen Xin's hand and asked curiously, "Fifth Brother, what exactly do you mean by these nine Death Sentence killing swords?"
"A soul skill? Or a Self-Created Soul Skill of the Chen Family?"
Chen Xin chuckled and began showing off.
Soul Rings began to emerge beneath his feet: two yellow and one purple.
Pointing at his Soul Rings, Chen Xin said, "Big Brother, these nine Death Sentence killing swords are my soul skills. Although my current soul skills have not changed, they now possess the sharp offensive power of Sword Sever Grass."
"You could say that my first three soul skills now possess the most terrifying sword attacks!"
As he spoke, Chen Xin began demonstrating them to Xu Xiao. "I even gave them new names."
"First Soul Skill: Longsword Wind Draw—Void Severing!"
"Second Soul Skill: Frost Sword Shatters the Void—Heartless Severing!"
"Third Soul Skill: Sorrow Sword, Desolate Nether—Sorrowful Severing!"
Chen Xin unleashed three consecutive sword strikes. Each carried terrifying attack power and killing intent, and three more deep cracks appeared in the ground.
Xu Xiao's mouth twitched. Did everyone who used swords like this flashy nonsense? It sounded so pretentious!
He had even renamed his soul skills. Still, he had to admit that they did look incredibly powerful.
And these were only soul skills from hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Rings.
Once Chen Xin raised the age of his Soul Rings, his soul skills would become even stronger.
"Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, our faction will have another Sword Douluo in the future." Xu Xiao would have been lying if he said he was not satisfied.
Though the soul skills were a little flashy, they really were powerful.
"Hahaha, Big Brother, Sword Douluo? I like that."
"In the future, my title will be Sword—the one and only Sword on this continent!!"
Chen Xin pointed his longsword at the heavens, brimming with high spirits, his eyes filled with a young man's hopes!
Chen Jianjun's title was Seven Kill, Seven Kill Douluo! (PS: This little author couldn't find out whether Chen Jianjun was Sword Douluo, so I changed it to Seven Kill Douluo to distinguish him from Chen Xin. Please forgive me, dear readers!)
"Big Brother, how are you now? Can you go hunt your third Soul Ring?"
Chen Xin was eager to give it a try.
Xu Xiao said, "What? You want to help Big Brother hunt a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast?"
Chen Xin nodded, then shook his head. "I want to try. I still don't know how strong I am now."
Xu Xiao pointed at the Spirit Pagoda. "Go to the second floor. There might be ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts in there, so you can test yourself."
"After trying it, don't use Soul Power. Return to the first floor and practice your sword."
"Once your first Soul Ring reaches six thousand years, you can begin the second step of your heavy sword training."
"Once your heavy sword has matured, Big Brother will take you to a treasured land!"
"That is where you truly ought to go."
Xu Xiao thought that Tang Chen had not yet gone to that place. He could let Chen Xin check it out first. If possible, he could even steal Tang Chen's opportunity.
By taking the position for the Divine Trial, even if the Asura God truly had some scheme, Xu Xiao could still save Chen Xin without letting the Clear Sky Sect benefit from it.
No matter what, Xu Xiao was definitely going to Slaughter City. Not only would he go, but his good brothers would go as well.
If there was wool to be plucked, then pluck it. It was just sitting there anyway; if he did not take it, someone else eventually would.
He had to reach Slaughter City before Tang Chen.
At the words "treasured land," Chen Xin's eyes lit up. He wished he could go immediately.
This treasured land had evolved his martial soul. What about the next one? Chen Xin did not even dare imagine what it might contain.
"Big Brother, if that's the case, I'll go cultivate now. My sword is already thirsting for battle."
After saying that, Chen Xin did not wait for Xu Xiao's response. Laughing happily, he rushed into the Spirit Ascension Platform space.
Xu Xiao smiled and shook his head. He truly was a cultivation fanatic. Neither Yue Guan nor Gui Mei loved cultivation as much as Chen Xin did.
Chen Xin was the one among them who loved cultivation the most. Even Xu Xiao was not that devoted to it.
Now, Chen Xin was no longer thinking about hunting Soul Rings and was wholeheartedly practicing his sword.
"Xu Xiao, it's time for you to hunt Soul Rings as well."
The Blue Silver Emperor behind Xu Xiao urged him on, afraid that Xu Xiao would keep delaying his Soul Ring hunt.
Xu Xiao burst out laughing. "Emperor, why are you more anxious than I am?"
The Blue Silver Emperor chuckled. "I'm not anxious. I just want you to grow stronger as soon as possible."
Xu Xiao did not expose him. "Emperor, you should hurry and refine the Immortal Herb Third Brother found for you. Once your strength rises, we'll have more security too, right?"
The Blue Silver Emperor waved his vines and lightly tapped Xu Xiao on the head. "You, honestly. You're lecturing me now?"
"Just make your own arrangements, kid."
The Blue Silver Emperor could not be bothered to interfere anymore and began refining the Immortal Herb Yue Guan had found for him.
"Emperor, I'll go out and gather some information to see what exactly is happening with the Clear Sky Sect. I'll leave this place's safety to you."
After saying that, Xu Xiao left. The Blue Silver Emperor nodded lightly. This was his home now too, so he had to guard it well.
Xu Xiao put away the Spirit Pagoda and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. His brothers were all inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, so he was effectively bringing them along.
Inside Heaven Dou City.
Xu Xiao came here alone and carefully gathered information.
After killing Tang Lie, Xu Xiao had naturally been worried. What if they really traced it back to him?
But no sooner had he arrived than he heard some exciting news: the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had compensated the Clear Sky Sect with one-third of its resources.
Xu Xiao could only exclaim in amazement. Tang Chen really was overbearing. Merely because he had encountered them, he had demanded one-third of Blue Lightning's resources.
As he continued asking around, Xu Xiao heard more news.
Tang Lie's death had ultimately been blamed on a Soul Beast. Tang Zhan had found no clues at all, but Tang Chen apparently was not satisfied.
As for the specifics afterward, Xu Xiao did not know.
Xu Xiao merely smiled at that and did not pay it much mind. Just as he was preparing to leave after learning the information, a burst of commotion rose up.
"Hurry, hurry! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is here again."
"I wonder whether the Ye Family will compromise and join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time."
"If you ask me, Seven Treasures isn't bad at all. The Ye Family is just too ungrateful!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. These factions aren't something people like us can discuss."
"Come on, let's go watch the show."
Xu Xiao listened carefully. The Ye Family? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Interesting. This was a spectacle he really could go watch.
Xu Xiao followed the crowd to the front of a fairly large estate.
The surroundings were packed with people. At the front stood a man in luxurious robes, looking down arrogantly at the estate before him.
"Ye Family, the three-day deadline has arrived."
