Fierce Family Battle, Each with Their Own Strengths and Weaknesses

Chen Jianjun's battlefield was the most perilous. Alone with a single sword, he faced a level 97 and a level 95 Super Douluo.

The level 97 Qiu Family Douluo possessed the Shadow Twin Daggers Martial Soul. His figure flickered like a ghost, and he excelled at concealment and killing with a single blow. The level 95 Douluo, meanwhile, possessed the Lava Colossal Fist Martial Soul. His power was berserk, and his frontal assault capabilities were exceptionally strong. One was cunning, the other fierce, and together they became far more formidable.

"Seven Kill Sword Formation, rise!"

Chen Jianjun did not dare let down his guard in the slightest. From the very start, he deployed the powerful sword formation. The Seven Kill Sword split into over a hundred solid sword phantoms, forming a domain of sword intent brimming with killing aura around him and protecting him firmly at its center.

"Shadow Assault, Backstab!" The level 97 Shadow Douluo's body flickered, transforming into several black shadows that were impossible to distinguish between real and false as they tried to infiltrate the sword formation from different directions.

"Lava Burst Fist!" The level 95 Giant Fist Douluo roared. His fists turned as red-hot as branding irons, carrying searing heat and devastating force as they slammed repeatedly into the outer perimeter of the sword formation, attempting to break finesse with brute strength.

"Hmph, cheap tricks!" Chen Jianjun's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's. He pointed the main Seven Kill Sword in his hand forward. "Sword formation, grind them to dust!"

Sword qi crisscrossed within the formation, instantly slicing and shredding apart the shadow clones attempting to infiltrate it. Yet the Shadow Douluo's true body was exceedingly cunning. He always found a sliver of opening within the airtight web of swords and slipped away like a loach. His poisoned daggers struck from unbelievable angles from time to time, forcing Chen Jianjun to divide his attention to deal with him.

Outside, the bombardment of the Lava Colossal Fist made the entire sword formation tremble violently. Every punch was like a heavy hammer striking Chen Jianjun's mind. He needed to continuously channel Soul Power to maintain the formation while precisely controlling the sword qi to fend off the internal assassinations. The drain on both his Soul Power and mental strength was enormous.

I can't keep defending! Chen Jianjun's thoughts raced, and a flash of resolve crossed his eyes. He abruptly poured most of his Soul Power into the main sword. The sword formation's might surged, forcibly driving the Shadow Douluo back several steps and temporarily halting his harassment.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Ninth Soul Skill, One Sword Across Worlds!"

Seizing that brief opening, Chen Jianjun unleashed his strongest attack! The Seven Kill Sword Avatar and the blood-red ninth soul ring lit up simultaneously. A blood-red sword aura, condensed to the extreme and thin as a line as though it could cleave space itself, ignored the distance between them and suddenly appeared before the level 95 Lava Colossal Fist Douluo, who was attacking the sword formation with all his strength!

The Giant Fist Douluo had never expected Chen Jianjun to launch such a fierce counterattack while at such a disadvantage, let alone target him directly! In his haste, he only had time to cross his lava-covered arms in front of himself.

"Pfft!"

Blood burst forth! The sword aura of One Sword Across Worlds directly severed one of his lava arms and left a wound on his chest so deep that bone was visible! Scalding, magma-like blood sprayed everywhere!

"Aah!!" The Giant Fist Douluo let out a miserable scream, and his aura instantly weakened by more than half.

"Fifth Brother!" The Shadow Douluo was shocked and enraged. His attacks became even more frenzied as he tried to restrain Chen Jianjun and stop him from continuing his pursuit.

Though Chen Jianjun had landed a blow, he did not dare pursue him. That ninth soul skill had consumed an enormous amount of power, so he immediately withdrew his sword to defend. His face was slightly pale, but his gaze remained sharp. Although he had failed to kill his opponent, severely injuring one of them greatly reduced his pressure. What had previously been a precarious stalemate became a battle he could barely sustain, and he could even launch a counterattack from time to time. The situation finally stabilized.

Li Yuanhui's battlefield was a release of passion and fury.

He faced two level 94 Qiu Family Titled Douluo alone. One possessed the Wind Demon Wolf Martial Soul and was incredibly fast, while the other possessed the Darksteel Shield Martial Soul and had astonishing defenses. One focused on harassment and offense, while the other focused on defense and restraint. Their coordination was seamless.

"Sky Phoenix Halberd Art, Phoenix Dances Across the Nine Heavens!"

Li Yuanhui poured all the grief and rage in his heart into the Sky Phoenix Halberd in his hands. As his halberd art unfolded, it was like a divine phoenix spreading its wings. Blazing flames surged into the heavens, and the scorching halberd winds dyed the night sky crimson. Regardless of his own expenditure, he fought as though risking his life. Each strike was faster and heavier than the last.

Relying on his speed, the Wind Demon Wolf Douluo constantly circled around Li Yuanhui, trying to find an opening. Blades of wind flew toward Li Yuanhui's vital points. Meanwhile, the Darksteel Shield Douluo stood like a boulder, his massive shield always arriving in time to block Li Yuanhui's fatal strikes aimed at his companion.

"Get out of my way!" Unable to break through after attacking for so long, Li Yuanhui grew increasingly agitated. With one halberd strike, he forced back the Wind Demon Wolf, then poured all his Soul Power into the Sky Phoenix Halberd. The golden-red flames around its body condensed into a lifelike flaming phoenix!

"Eighth Soul Skill, Sky Phoenix World-Burning Strike!"

The flaming phoenix released a piercing cry and, carrying a terrifying heat capable of burning all things to ash, ignored the slippery Wind Demon Wolf and crashed directly into the indestructible Darksteel Shield!

"Darksteel Bastion, Absolute Defense!" The Shield Douluo also sensed the deadly threat. He poured all his Soul Power into his shield, causing black light to blaze from its surface as patterns emerged, as though it had become one with the earth.

"Boom----!!!"

The flaming phoenix collided solidly with the massive Darksteel Shield! A deafening explosion resounded through the skies, and violent waves of fire and shockwaves spread outward in rings, forcing even the Wind Demon Wolf, who had been trying to approach for a sneak attack, to retreat again and again.

Once the light faded, the Darksteel Shield Douluo's face was deathly pale, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Clear cracks had appeared across the Darksteel Shield he had been so proud of, showing that it had been severely damaged. Though Li Yuanhui's aura was also somewhat unsteady, his fighting spirit burned even hotter. Seizing the moment when his opponent's defense had been broken and his mind shaken, the Sky Phoenix Halberd turned into a streak of light once more and thrust straight toward his chest!

"Fourth Brother, watch out!" The Wind Demon Wolf Douluo cried out in horror and desperately rushed over to save him.

Fighting one against two, Li Yuanhui finally began to gain the upper hand through sheer bloody courage and a reckless, life-or-death fighting style.

As for the battlefield where Li She Long, Li Tiancheng, Li Tianji, and Li Changlong faced four ordinary Titled Douluo from the opposing side—one level 94, one level 93, and two level 92—it was even more chaotic, though each of them had their own strengths.

Li She Long, at level 94, faced another level 94 Qiu Family Douluo. The two were evenly matched, Snake Lance against a ghost-headed saber. Their battle was difficult to distinguish, with forceful energy surging in every direction.

Li Tianji faced a level 92 Titled Douluo. The Sky Phoenix Halberd clashed against the Bloodthirsty Wolf, and neither side could gain the upper hand. They traded blow for blow.

Li Tiancheng faced a level 93 Titled Douluo.

Li Tiancheng's ninth soul ring came from a ninety-thousand-year Frenzied Rift Rhino. Its ninth soul ring was centered on brute force and berserk power, and combined with his high cultivation and his ninth soul skill, it forcefully suppressed Qiu Tianxie, the Qiu Family's level 93 Titled Douluo. Qiu Tianxie was already rather old, and under Li Tiancheng's suppression, he found himself in danger several times.

Li Changlong, at level 92, faced another level 92 Qiu Family Douluo. Relying on the Beast King Martial Soul's powerful physique and savage fighting style, he did not fall behind in the slightest. His Darkgolden Claw repeatedly collided with his opponent's Martial Soul, producing the clang of metal against metal. His fighting style was the most barbaric and direct.

Above the entire Li Family estate, the radiance of soul skills bloomed, collided, and vanished like the most brilliant yet most dangerous fireworks of a festival. Roars, explosions, clashing weapons, furious shouts, and miserable screams intertwined into a bloody and cruel symphony of war.

The night was still long. Blood was still flowing.
