Battle Chen Xin Again

"Has the man with that sword come again?"

Chen Xin looked around in terror, but found nothing.

Yet he was far too familiar with that sword.

"What a Sword Dao Chen Xin. You dare cause trouble on my turf the moment you break through to level ninety-seven. How arrogant."

"Sword, come!"

The Immortal Slaying Sword, which had been embedded in the ground, instantly flew into the distance.

"Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Eighth Soul Skill—Seven Kills Thunder Rise, One Sword Breaks the Sky!"

At the same time, the weather in the sky changed abruptly. Dark clouds rolled in, blotting out the sun.

Bolts of purple lightning tore across the sky and descended like silver serpents dancing wildly.

The lightning contained immensely powerful energy, as if it could split the earth in two.

Faced with such overwhelming force, Chen Ping'an merely smiled faintly, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He slowly raised the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand and gave it a casual swing.

In an instant, a dazzling sword light shot into the heavens like the rising sun, illuminating the entire world.

Wherever the sword light passed, the void shattered and all things turned to ash.

It collided violently with the lightning filling the sky, triggering an earth-shattering explosion.

The deafening boom echoed between heaven and earth for a long time without fading.

Lightning and sword radiance tangled and collided fiercely, erupting with endless light and power.

The entire space trembled, seeming ready to collapse at any moment.

"So strong!"

Dugu Bo swallowed unconsciously as he looked at the terrifying energy reverberating through heaven and earth.

If he had been anywhere nearby, even the aftermath would have killed him instantly.

The tremendous commotion also roused Tang San and the others, except for those deeply poisoned.

"This is bad. The owner of this place has returned. Teacher, we need to leave quickly!"

Tang San glanced around but did not spot Flender or Zhao Wuji.

"Damn it!"

Tang San cursed, grabbed his 100,000 Year Soul Ring and Yu Xiaogang, and fled the scene at top speed.

Liu Erlong did not think much either. She took the poisoned students and left at top speed. As for the other students capable of protecting themselves, they had long since fled in disgrace.

Dugu Bo was still immersed in the shock of the battle and did not notice that they had run away.

"Run? Where do you think you're running to?"

Chen Ping'an swept his gaze over them, and the Immortal Execution Sword appeared in his hand.

"Your Excellency, please show mercy!"

Flender, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally emerged.

He also knew that this man was Chen Ping'an and hoped that Chen Ping'an would spare them for old times' sake.

But imagination was always beautiful.

"Erlong, Xiaogang!"

Flender and Liu Erlong exchanged a glance. The two simultaneously pulled Grandmaster behind them, each taking a step diagonally forward. In an instant, the three formed a triangular formation.

Flender shouted, "Sun and Moon Shine, Golden Transformation."

Yet he did not release his Martial Soul.

Only an intense golden light suddenly burst forth, shooting into the sky.

At the same time, it spread out from beneath his feet.

The same golden light also appeared on Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.

Golden light filled the air, instantly forming a golden triangle with the three of them as its vertices.

At the very center of the triangle was a golden ring of light, surrounded by all manner of intricate patterns.

"What a Sun and Moon Shine, Golden Transformation."

Chen Ping'an gave it a calm glance.

He was in no hurry to attack them.

He would let them summon that giant dragon first, then see what it was.

Meanwhile, Chen Xin had already been blasted hundreds of meters away by the aftermath.

Although he had suffered only minor injuries, he still looked utterly disheveled.

"A sword swung so casually possesses such terrifying power. He has grown stronger than before, yet his Soul Power does not seem to have improved."

Chen Xin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He glared fiercely at Chen Ping'an.

But once he clearly saw Chen Ping'an, he was completely stunned. There was a sword on each side of him!

"Twin Martial Souls!"

Chen Xin drew in a sharp breath.

Now that he no longer had Ning Fengzhi's support, even with level ninety-seven Soul Power, he likely would not have a chance to escape.

Chen Xin also understood that if Ning Fengzhi had supported him earlier, he would not have been left in such a sorry state by that sword strike.

"I'll go all out!"

"The cassia tree stands young across a hundred leagues,

Partridges cry beside the cool noon shade.

At Yanping Ford, peaks rise sharp as blades,

The sword departs; over empty skies, waters flow on."

After Chen Xin recited the poem, a powerful aura erupted from his body, and even the surrounding air seemed to be pressed lower.

Immediately afterward, a circular formation suddenly appeared above Chen Xin's Martial Soul Avatar.

Light flickered within the formation, and faint sounds of wind and thunder emerged. Suddenly, a dazzling sword light soared into the sky, like a rainbow piercing the sun. It tore through the void and shot straight ahead.

At that moment, Chen Xin's Martial Soul Avatar also changed. Its originally golden body turned blood-red on one side and azure-blue on the other, appearing strange and mysterious.

"Ninth Soul Skill—God and Demon Two Slashes!"

Chen Xin shouted, his voice exploding like thunder.

At the same time, his Martial Soul Avatar reached out and accurately seized the longsword flying through the void.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to be torn apart. Sword qi crisscrossed in every direction, unstoppable and invincible.

That terrifying might made people shudder in fear.

Below, a majestic golden dragon suddenly soared into the air, its eyes gleaming brilliantly.

The golden dragon had four claws beneath its belly, and its entire body was covered in thick dragon scales. Its golden dragon eyes overflowed with majesty as overwhelming dragon might spread in all directions.

Even Dugu Bo could not help frowning beneath that heavy pressure.

He did not know whether he should intervene.

"Very good!"

Only then did Chen Ping'an nod in satisfaction.

The Immortal Slaying Sword in his right hand pointed at Chen Xin, while the Immortal Execution Sword in his left pointed at the giant dragon.

"Use the First Soul Skill—Sword Dance in the Sky—simultaneously!"

Countless streams of sword qi condensed and intertwined in the air, enveloping Chen Xin and the golden dragon.

Before absolute power, all resistance was futile.

Chen Xin managed to hold on for a while.

The instant that dragon came into contact with the sword qi, it was blasted into nothingness.

"Go!"

Just as Chen Xin could no longer hold on, Gu Rong appeared behind him.

He used the Eighth Soul Skill—Space Gate—to take him away.

"Eighth Soul Skill—Sword Breaking Void!"

Chen Ping'an reacted swiftly and directly unleashed his Eighth Soul Skill, sending it through that Space Gate.

"Go!"

The Immortal Execution Sword descended.

It formed a sword qi barrier, blocking the aftermath of the explosion.

If he had not done so, the aftermath alone would have been enough to destroy the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Tang San and the others also took the opportunity to escape.

They rushed toward Blue Tyrant Academy at top speed.

"Your Excellency, it was my fault. I failed to protect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Dugu Bo looked at the devastated Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He completely broke down. This was the work of his entire life.

"It's fine. Go directly to Blue Tyrant Academy and demand justice. I'll pay a visit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Chen Ping'an was also extremely displeased.

But he had to admit that Tang San's luck truly was good.

Today, justice would surely be served!
