However.
Facing this strike capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Tang Xiao, suspended in mid-air, remained as calm as a placid lake.
He watched the whistling giant sword and bone dragon approach.
"Mayflies shaking a tree."
Tang Xiao said indifferently.
He did not even fully raise his right hand, merely extending a single index finger.
A lustrous blue light flickered at his fingertip and vanished.
BOOM!
An immensely terrifying power poured forth from his fingertip in an instant.
This power was too vast.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding space shattered inch by inch like a mirror.
The hundred-meter giant sword, which seemed to possess overwhelming might, collapsed and disintegrated the instant it touched this blue force, as if it were made of paper, turning into a sky full of debris.
As for the massive bone dragon, it could not even let out a scream before its pale bone armor shattered over a large area, reverting into the figure of Gu Rong, who was sent flying backward in a wretched state.
Pfft!
While still in mid-air, Gu Rong spat out a mouthful of blood and slammed heavily into the ground, creating a massive crater.
Chen Xin did not escape unscathed either.
That tyrannical force surged back along the blade, shattering his protective soul power.
He was struck as if by a heavy blow, his face turning deathly pale in an instant. His body was sent flying back hundreds of meters, crashing through several thick stone walls before finally coming to a halt.
Ning Fengzhi, acting as the support, suffered a violent backlash the moment the two titled Douluo were severely injured.
The light on his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda dimmed instantly, and fine cracks even appeared upon its surface.
Ning Fengzhi coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered back a dozen steps, and finally collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
He did not bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring at Tang Xiao in the sky with eyes full of horror.
"This... how is this possible?"
Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled.
A ninety-eighth-level peak Douluo and a ninety-fifth-level defense-type Douluo.
With his full support, their combined strike should have been enough to contend even against a ninety-ninth-level peerless Douluo.
Yet now.
The opponent had used only a single finger.
A simple, solitary finger had shattered all their pride and power into dust!
"Who exactly is he?"
Gu Rong lay in the deep pit, struggling to stand, only to find his internal meridians in complete disarray, unable to muster any soul power.
He looked at the blue figure in the sky, nothing but endless fear remaining in his heart.
Such an existence.
It had already transcended the boundaries of humanity.
This was absolutely the power of a god!
In mid-air.
Tang Xiao's expression was cold.
He did not even glance at the three injured men.
To him, defeating these people was no different than casually swatting a few ants; it was not worth a second thought.
He took a step, walking through the void, heading straight toward the back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
His goal was clear.
It was to rescue his mother, Ah Yin.
As for the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he did not care.
"Stop..."
At that moment.
Tang Xiao paused and tilted his head slightly.
In the ruins not far away.
Chen Xin was using his Seven Kill Sword to support his body, swaying as he stood up.
His clothes were stained red with blood, and his face was as pale as paper, yet his eyes remained fixed on Tang Xiao.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... will never allow anyone to trample upon us at will."
Chen Xin gritted his teeth as he spoke.
He knew he was no match for the young man before him.
But as a swordsman, his dignity would not allow him to retreat.
Originally, he had intended to go into seclusion after this, spending months or even years slowly digesting the rewards bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao, as the energy was simply too immense.
Forcing himself to absorb it in a short period would place an unbearable burden on his body.
But now, he had no choice left.
"If that is the case, then bring it all on!"
Chen Xin let out a roar in his heart.
He no longer suppressed the violent power of the Heavenly Dao within him.
BOOM!
In an instant, a brilliant, dazzling golden light erupted from Chen Xin's body.
The light was scorching, enveloping his entire being.
Bathed in the golden radiance, Chen Xin felt his damaged meridians instantly repair themselves, becoming even tougher than before.
His aura began to climb frantically at an incredible speed.
Level 98...
Peak Level 98...
BOOM!
With a dull roar, the bottleneck within Chen Xin shattered, and his cultivation broke through to the peak of the 98th level!
At the same time, the Seven Kill Sword in his hand underwent a heaven-defying transformation.
The Heavenly Dao Seven Kill Sword!
Not only that, but a 100,000-year spirit ring, radiating an eerie red light, slowly rose from beneath his feet and circled his body.
Level 98 spirit power.
The evolved Heavenly Dao Seven Kill Sword.
Coupled with a 100,000-year spirit ring.
At this moment, Chen Xin's strength had reached a peak state he had never experienced in his entire life.
Chen Xin felt the surging, powerful energy within him that was nearly overflowing.
His originally aged face seemed to grow a dozen years younger in that instant.
He raised the Heavenly Dao Seven Kill Sword in his hand, pointing it diagonally at Tang Xiao.
"Your Excellency, I will give you one last chance."
Chen Xin's voice was resonant, amplified by his spirit power, echoing through the air like a great bell.
"Leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now, and I can pretend that nothing ever happened."
"Otherwise, this sword of mine will surely leave you bleeding on this very spot!"
The strength of the 98th level gave Chen Xin immense confidence.
He believed that with his evolved martial soul and the 100,000-year spirit ring, he was now absolutely qualified to battle any powerhouse.
However, facing Chen Xin, whose strength had surged and whose momentum was overwhelming, Tang Xiao's face remained devoid of any extra expression.
In his cold, indifferent eyes, there was even a hint of mockery.
"Level 98?"
"Is this all you have to rely on?"
Tang Xiao whispered to himself.
"You seek death!"
Chen Xin was instantly enraged.
He had cultivated bitterly for a lifetime; when had he ever been looked down upon like this?
Especially now, at the very moment he had obtained the Heavenly Dao reward and reached the pinnacle of his strength!
"Since you insist on seeking death, then I shall grant your wish!"
Chen Xin roared in anger.
The ninety-eighth-level soul power within his body surged frantically, held back by nothing in this instant.
He concentrated all of his strength, all of his sword intent, and even the power of that newly acquired hundred-thousand-year soul ring into the Heavenly Dao Seven Kill Sword in his hand.
"Heavenly Dao Sword, Sever!"
Chen Xin gripped the sword with both hands and raised it high.
At this moment.
He seemed to have merged into one with the divine sword in his hand.
This move condensed his lifelong comprehension of the sword path; it was his ultimate strike, poured out with everything he had, without a shred of reservation!
Blinding golden light dyed the entire sky gold.
That sword thrust out.
Space was sliced open as easily as thin paper beneath the tip of the blade.
The speed of this strike was extreme, surpassing the limits of the naked eye, and it locked onto Tang Xiao's throat.
In the deep crater not far away.
Gu Rong stared at this strike, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Chen Xin, you must win!"
Gu Rong prayed silently in his heart.
