Xiong Jun vs. Chen Xin

Chen Xin issued an ultimatum,

Xiong Jun had absolutely no tact. He was actually speaking so arrogantly.

In front of so many people, he did not give him any face at all.

He had already given him a way out just now.

Since he did not appreciate it, there was no need to say anything more.

In that case, they could only settle this with force.

If this was not handled properly, it would indeed damage the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reputation. Even Chen Xin himself would be mocked by that old Bone fellow.

"Take it back?"

"I think you're dreaming in broad daylight."

After finishing the last bite of braised pork elbow, Xiong Jun let out a satisfied burp and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth.

He immediately rose to his feet, standing a full head taller than Chen Xin.

Clenching his fists, Xiong Jun looked down at him. "If you have the guts, let's fight. I think you're just using your Title Douluo cultivation to scare people."

"You want to save face in front of me? You should first see whether you're qualified. Don't forget, this little girl was the one who started it."

When Chen Xin looked up, he felt an immense pressure.

This guy was far too arrogant. Chen Xin was somewhat angered. "Since you say so, then let's do it."

Chen Xin had not been scared into submission. No matter how strong the other party was, could he be more terrifying than Qian Daoliu had been back then?

He refused to believe that his attainments in the sword path would lose to this man.

"Come on. Let me see exactly how strong you are, and whether you are qualified to fight me."

Xiong Jun sneered.

This felt good—too good!

Especially displaying his burly physique and perfectly massive muscles.

This feeling of reigning over the world was simply wonderful.

A Title Douluo. He wanted to see just how strong one really was.

After the matter was settled,

the two set off one after the other for the open plains outside Heaven Dou City. They could not fight within Heaven Dou City.

Chen Xin took Ning Rongrong to the city wall and left her in the guards' care.

Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena, who were returning to the courtyard, spotted two soaring auras from afar. They exchanged a glance and immediately hurried toward the outskirts of the city.

Gu Yuena was baffled. How had this turned into a battle with human Soul Masters?

She was not worried that Xiong Jun would lose. She simply knew that this battle would certainly attract many people.

When they arrived outside Heaven Dou City,

the two men stood facing each other in the air above the plains.

"Come on. Let me see how strong you are."

Xiong Jun flexed his fingers, his knuckles cracking as battle intent surged from him.

He had also noticed that the mistress and his lord had come to watch. He immediately became fully alert, intending to show off a little in front of the mistress.

Chen Xin gripped the Seven Kill Sword as the aura of a level ninety-six Title Douluo exploded forth.

The Seven Kill Domain unfolded, covering an area thirty meters around him.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Kill Avatar!"

A sword-armored giant dozens of meters tall condensed into existence. The Seven Kill Sword swelled dozens of times in size, its edge aimed directly at Xiong Jun.

"Interesting."

Xiong Jun grinned and waved his right hand.

"Dark Gold Terrorclaw!"

That single strike was brimming with killing intent. The question was whether Chen Xin could withstand it.

A three-meter-long dark golden giant claw appeared out of thin air, carrying the power to tear through space as it viciously clutched at the Seven Kill Sword.

"Clang!" The sound of metal striking metal was deafening.

The giant claw locked tightly around the Seven Kill Sword. No matter how Chen Xin urged it, it could not move in the slightest.

Chen Xin's expression changed as shock filled his heart.

This strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined. Just what level was his opponent at?

Could he be a level ninety-eight Title Douluo?

No matter what, the current situation did not allow him time to think.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Killing Intent Revealed!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Might Shaking All Directions!"

The two Soul Skills erupted at once, and countless sword energies shot toward Xiong Jun.

Xiong Jun formed another Dark Gold Terrorclaw with his left hand and swept both claws back and forth.

The instant every sword energy struck the giant claws, it shattered into dust.

"Is that all you've got?"

Chen Xin gritted his teeth and pushed his Soul Power to its limits.

He was nearly giving it everything he had, yet his opponent still looked completely unsatisfied, leaving him with a sense of helplessness.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

Over ten thousand Seven Kill Sword phantoms condensed, raining down on Xiong Jun like a storm of arrows.

Xiong Jun let out a low roar as golden light from his entire body gathered in his claws.

"Sky-Ripping Claw!"

A thousand-meter-long golden blade arc split through the air, cleaving Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect straight in half.

The blade arc continued without losing momentum and viciously struck the Seven Kill Avatar.

"Crack!"

In but an instant,

dense cracks appeared across Chen Xin's Seven Kill Avatar before it shattered at once.

The moment it broke apart, Chen Xin spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying several hundred meters before barely steadying himself.

He held the trembling Seven Kill Sword and stared at the completely uninjured Xiong Jun, his eyes full of disbelief.

On the city wall, Ning Rongrong covered her mouth in fright.

She had never seen Grandpa Sword beaten so badly.

Before Heaven Dou City's gates, Gu Yuena leaned against Shen Yifeng's chest and yawned.

Xiong Jun had done well. She was very satisfied.

She wondered whether her wife was satisfied. Unfortunately, she did not have her memories for the time being.

"Wife, what do you think of this Xiong Jun?"

Gu Yuena asked.

"He's pretty good. Being able to force Sword Douluo into such a state is already very impressive."

After receiving Shen Yifeng's approval, Gu Yuena decided to praise Xiong Jun afterward.

This was already the second time.

Xiong Jun and Chen Xin descended to the ground.

Chen Xin landed steadily. He appeared uninjured, but his internal organs were all wracked with intense pain.

The force was too great. It was like facing an attack from the Clear Sky Hammer, like being struck head-on by a hammer. It was terrifying.

It was just like how Qian Xunji had been smashed down by Tang Hao's hammer back then.

Only, the hammer had been replaced by claws.

"Your name is Chen Xin. I'll count you as an expert for now, but before me, you're still not enough."

"The difference in our strength is too great. You cannot beat me."

Xiong Jun had not enjoyed himself, because Chen Xin had not risked his life and truly gone all out—that kind of all-out effort where one staked everything on the line.

If Chen Xin had used his full strength, perhaps Xiong Jun could have enjoyed the thrill of battle.

"You are very strong. I did not lose unfairly."

"Who exactly are you? A powerhouse like you cannot possibly be nameless."

Chen Xin clutched his chest and asked with difficulty.

Every time he spoke, he felt a piercing pain.

"Who says a powerhouse must have a name and reputation? Your Grandpa Xiong does not like showing off everywhere. If I wanted to, I would have become famous long ago."

Xiong Jun's task was to cooperate with his lord in pursuing the mistress, not to fight and kill all day. Besides, if he truly wanted a battle, it would certainly be against one of the current Peerless Douluos.

"Since you are unwilling to say, I will not force you."

"I was presumptuous today. I hope you will not take it to heart."

Chen Xin took a step back. He was also afraid that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would make an enemy of the man before them.

"I'm not that petty. If I had truly wanted to kill you, you might already be lying on the ground."

Xiong Jun said no more and left. Once he returned, he would definitely go brag to Di Tian and the others.

Chen Xin recalled the Seven Kill Sword, immediately went to the city wall, and took Ning Rongrong back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The watching Soul Masters were all stunned by this battle.

Among them were Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xue Qinghe.

They were all surprised by Xiong Jun's appearance. None of them had expected such a hidden powerhouse to exist.

"Teacher, Xiong Jun is so strong, and we did not even see his Martial Soul."

Tang San said.

"Even I do not know." Yu Xiaogang was extremely curious. Could it be some kind of mutated Martial Soul?

If it was a mutated Martial Soul, was there a way to help him break free from the level twenty-nine bottleneck?
