At those words, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fell deathly silent.
In the square, along the corridors, and on the training grounds, every disciple and deacon lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
Those words-"Get the hell out here."
They were like a resounding slap across the face of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Chen Xin's face instantly turned livid.
Veins bulged on the back of his sword hand, and the keen sword intent around him abruptly surged, bringing the temperature in the great hall down several degrees.
"You've gone too far!"
Gu Rong roared outright.
"Fengzhi, stay in the hall."
Chen Xin did not turn around, his voice as cold as ice-tempered steel.
"Old Bones, let's go."
"Wait-"
Ning Fengzhi reached out to stop them, but Chen Xin and Gu Rong had already turned into two streaks of light, one white and one gray, flying straight out of the hall and soaring into the sky.
"Uncle Jian! Uncle Gu!"
Ning Fengzhi called out. Seeing that the two had already flown high into the sky, he gritted his teeth, hurried outside the hall, and looked up.
Five figures stood in midair as two figures tore through the air toward them.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong stopped a hundred meters from Jin Peng and the others, a Seven Kill Sword and a bone dragon hovering behind them.
Chen Xin spoke first, his voice cool and clear, each word distinct. "As a Titled Douluo, do you not find such vulgar language beneath your standing?"
Gu Rong followed immediately, his voice brimming with fury.
"You are far too insolent! Do you think our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is made of clay?"
At those words, the corner of Jin Peng's mouth twitched into an amused smile. Rather than answer immediately, he tilted his head to glance at the four elders beside him.
Elder Zhou, Elder Wei, Elder Zhao, and Elder Qian all wore faint smiles, their eyes scornful.
"Made of clay?"
Jin Peng scoffed, his gaze returning to Chen Xin and Gu Rong. "Isn't that exactly what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is made of?"
"The two of you think you're worthy of putting on airs before me?"
The moment his words fell,
Jin Peng abruptly waved his hand.
Five immense surges of Soul Power erupted at once.
Humm-!
The sky seemed to shudder.
The five men, led by Jin Peng, released their Martial Souls in unison. Five enormous phantoms rose into the sky behind them, each radiating terrifying pressure.
Then, Soul Rings rose from beneath their feet, one after another.
Yellow, purple, black, red-
The almost tangible fluctuations of Soul Power left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's disciples below weak in the knees. Some collapsed straight onto the ground, staring skyward in horror.
Beneath every one of them lay nine Soul Rings.
Nine.
All five truly were Titled Douluo.
What made Chen Xin's and Gu Rong's pupils contract even more was that among the nine Soul Rings beneath Jin Peng's feet, a glaring blood-red ring occupied the ninth position.
And beneath Elder Qian's feet, to Jin Peng's left, there was also a blood-red ring.
Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!
Red enough to sear the eyes, red enough to shake the heart.
Chen Xin's fingers tightened slightly around his sword hilt, his knuckles turning white.
The anger on Gu Rong's face also froze for an instant, and a trace of gravity flashed through his eyes.
The two of them released their Soul Rings at the same time.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
Nine Soul Rings, the standard configuration for an ordinary Titled Douluo.
Yet before those five figures opposite them, those nine Soul Rings looked... shabby.
"That's it?"
Jin Peng looked at the utterly ordinary nine Soul Rings beneath Chen Xin's and Gu Rong's feet, the sneer at his lips growing more pronounced.
He even deliberately tilted his head to glance at Elder Qian, his tone mocking:
"Old Qian, look at those two over there. Their Soul Ring colors are quite neatly arranged."
Elder Qian gave them an expressionless glance, disappointment in his voice. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two guardian elders, the Sword and Bone Douluo renowned across the continent-is this all the strength you have?"
"Heh."
Elder Zhou chuckled and shook his head.
"With your abilities, you dare demand that our Young Sect Master kneel in repentance? I've lived over a hundred years, and this is the first time I've heard such a hilarious joke."
Elder Wei and Elder Zhao said nothing, but their eyes said it all.
Naked contempt!
For the proud Chen Xin and Gu Rong, this was hard to accept.
Below, Ning Fengzhi's expression changed sharply.
He saw the disparity at a glance-the Soul Power auras of all five men opposite them were powerful. Every one of them was a veteran Titled Douluo.
In fact,
Jin Peng's and Elder Qian's auras were even stronger than Uncle Jian's and Uncle Gu's!
This is trouble...
Ning Fengzhi clenched his fists, his thoughts racing. The Body Sect-where on earth did this sect spring from?
Ning Fengzhi drew a deep breath and, from over three hundred meters away, cupped his hands and bowed to Jin Peng and the other four.
"Seniors, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect spoke and acted improperly today. I, Fengzhi, offer you all my apologies."
"As a token of our apology, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to pay one million Gold Soul Coins in compensation and let this matter rest. What do you think, seniors?"
One million Gold Soul Coins.
After hearing this, Jin Peng exchanged glances with the four elders beside him, and all five burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
Jin Peng laughed loudest, his laughter shaking the clouds into rolling waves.
"One million Gold Soul Coins? Sect Master Ning, are you tossing alms to beggars?"
The smile abruptly vanished from Jin Peng's face, his gaze turning cold as he looked straight at Chen Xin and Gu Rong. "I can't be bothered to waste words with you."
"Make your move. Let me weigh just how much strength you have!"
A cold gleam flashed in Chen Xin's eyes. He knew there was no room left to ease matters today.
"Old Bones!"
"Attack!"
The instant the words fell, the Seven Kill Sword hovering behind Chen Xin abruptly swelled, its blade growing dozens of meters long and blazing with dazzling white light.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Kill True Body!"
Chen Xin seemed to merge into the blade, and a clear sword cry rang through heaven and earth.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Bone Dragon Martial Soul!"
Gu Rong threw back his head and roared. The bone dragon phantom behind him abruptly solidified, its enormous bony wings spreading as layers of stark-white bones covered his entire body, forming a hundred-meter-long bone dragon.
"Fengzhi!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Treasures True Body!"
Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi brought his hands together, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda blossomed with brilliant light.
Beams of light shot from the pagoda, landing precisely on Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
"Seven Treasures Have Names."
"First: Strength! Second: Speed! Third: Soul! Fourth: Defense..."
Six beams of light sank into their bodies, and Chen Xin's and Gu Rong's auras surged a notch higher.
Watching this, Jin Peng did not so much as lift an eyelid.
"Is that all you can do?"
"I'll show you mercy and let you witness what true power is."
Boom-!!
Jin Peng and the other four released their Martial Soul Avatars simultaneously.
Five hundred-meter giants appeared together above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Each hundred-meter giant was different, perfectly embodying the characteristics of a Body Martial Soul Avatar-"the entire body enlarged to gigantic proportions, the Martial Soul body part pushed to its utmost"!
For instance,
Elder Qian-whose Martial Soul was his heart, whose title was Crimson Heart, and who was a level 96 Titled Douluo-became a hundred-meter giant with red light shrouding his heart.
The heavens trembled, and the clouds shattered.
The entire mountain entrance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shook violently, while the buildings below creaked under the unbearable strain.
"It's terrifying!"
The pressure pinned the disciples flat against the ground, leaving them unable even to raise their heads.
Chen Xin, too, felt pressure unlike anything he had ever experienced.
But,
he did not retreat.
The blade shuddered, turning into a three-hundred-meter streak of white sword light that slashed straight at Jin Peng!
Gu Rong charged out with a roar, the bone dragon's claws tearing through the air as they reached for Elder Qian.
Yet-
Jin Peng and the others had never intended to give them a fair fight.
The five hundred-meter giants struck simultaneously, unleashing Soul Skills in a combined attack.
Boom-!!
The next instant, Chen Xin's and Gu Rong's attacks were shattered, and the enormous Seven Kill True Body and Bone Dragon True Body were sent flying backward.
