"His martial soul wasn't the Seven Kill Sword. It was a mutated martial soul, so he might not belong to the Chen Clan," Ji Chengjian voiced his doubts.
Liu Yirong nodded slightly, but her gaze held a carefully considered certainty. "It was a mutated martial soul, clearly a set of sword-type martial souls. Judging by their power, their grade was no lower than the Seven Kill Sword's. The three swords combined probably surpassed it."
