At the very start of the battle, Chen Xin struck first. "First Soul Skill: Long Sword Unsheathed!"
Several streaks of silver-white sword energy tore through the air, dense as a rainstorm, sealing off every possible path of Tang Zhan.
Tang Zhan's expression remained unchanged as he instantly activated his first Clear Sky Soul Ring. "First Soul Skill: Titan's Might!"
The Clear Sky Hammer swelled by more than ten feet, and a heavy aura shielded his body. The sharp sword energy crashing down from all directions was deflected and shattered against the hammer aura.
Chen Xin's assault did not stop. "Second Soul Skill: Sword Spirit Guardian!"
A wall of azure sword armor instantly formed around him, combining offense and defense. Then, he directly activated his third Soul Ring.
"Third Soul Skill: Sword Wings Like Flight!"
Transparent sword wings spread behind him as his figure turned into a streak of light and instantly closed in. Sword energy for close-range slaughter slipped through every opening.
Tang Zhan stomped down. "Third Soul Skill: Gravity Suppression!"
An enormous pressure burst outward, tripling the gravity within several meters and forcibly slowing Chen Xin's advance.
"Clear Sky Nine Arts, Entangling Formula!"
At the same time, Tang Zhan unleashed the rotational force of the Entangling Formula to restrain him, then counterattacked with the vibrations of the Shock Formula. Spiral Soul Power erupted layer upon layer from the hammer, shattering every sword attack near him. Neither his offense nor defense fell short.
Their opening exchange was evenly matched. Sword energy and hammer aura collided without end, blasting waves of air throughout the arena.
Chen Xin's killing intent grew heavier. He stopped probing. "Fourth Soul Skill: Murderous Aura Unleashed!"
The Seven Kill Sword became enveloped in murderous sword intent, its edge bone-chilling. Every streak of sword energy carried killing force
