Boom-!
Chen Xin's Seven Kill True Body spun backward and crashed into the ground, plowing a deep trench nearly a hundred meters long and smashing through a row of side halls.
Chen Xin rolled more than a dozen times before stopping, blood pouring from his mouth.
Gu Rong's Bone Dragon True Body fared even worse.
The hundred-meter-long bone dragon had only made it halfway when Elder Qian's heart gave a sudden thump, and a scarlet core flame transformed into a massive hammer and smashed straight toward it.
Elder Zhou's silvery iron fists, each larger than a head, followed close behind, one punch slamming into the bone dragon's lower jaw.
Elder Wei's ears quivered, and a ring of dark green sound waves brought Gu Rong's movements to a complete crawl. Elder Zhao stomped down with his massive foot, bending the Bone Dragon True Body at the waist.
Under that chain of attacks, Gu Rong was beaten straight out of his Bone Dragon True Body and back into his original form!
Gu Rong crashed into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's training ground, gouging a massive crater into it. Shattered stones flew, and dust filled the sky.
One sword, one bone dragon.
The two Martial Soul Avatars had not lasted even a single exchange against the five men's combined assault.
The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fell deathly silent!
"Grandpa Sword! Grandpa Bone!"
Ning Rongrong screamed and tried to rush out, but the maid beside her held her back with all her strength.
Yet.
Amid the dust, a razor-sharp sword intent shot into the sky once more.
"Cough, cough..."
Supporting himself on the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin staggered to his feet amid the ruins.
His white robes were already in tatters, and blood covered his chest and the corners of his mouth, but the fighting spirit in his eyes had not gone out.
"Old Bones..."
Chen Xin's voice was hoarse, yet carried a note of absolute resolve. "Can you still move?"
Inside the massive crater, Gu Rong crawled to his feet, covered in blood.
"I'm... not dead yet!"
Gu Rong spat out a mouthful of bloody froth.
The two exchanged a glance.
Chen Xin gripped the Seven Kill Sword again, sword energy surging around him as his sword intent sharpened to its utmost. "Seven Kill Domain! Man and Sword as One!"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Spatial Bone Escape!"
Gu Rong roared, unleashing the full power of his Bone Dragon Martial Soul.
Spatial Vortices appeared in the air one after another, working in concert with Chen Xin's Seven Kill Domain to turn half the sky into a battlefield belonging solely to the two of them.
"And us!"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's disciples had also had some of their fighting spirit stirred at that moment.
"Seven treasures turn, revealing glazed tile..."
Pillars of light flew in from every direction and sank into Chen Xin's and Gu Rong's bodies.
Almost all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's direct-line disciples were supporting them, sending their auras climbing higher and higher.
"You still dare resist?"
Jin Peng looked down, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"You have some backbone. Unfortunately... with such a vast gulf in strength, even gathering your entire sect's power won't spare you defeat."
Despite Chen Xin and Gu Rong receiving support from so many Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters.
In reality,
The increase in their strength was limited.
The reasoning was simple: if enhancements could stack without limit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have long since become invincible beneath the heavens!
Meanwhile, every one of Jin Peng's group of five possessed a Soul Core and a silver-grade second awakening, making them inherently stronger than the Titled Douluo of this era.
The gap between the two sides was greater than it appeared on paper!
"Old friends, let's do it."
Jin Peng's voice shook every direction. "After today, let the entire continent know-there is another incomparably powerful sect in this world, named... the Body Sect!"
"Hahaha!"
"Now that's satisfying to hear!"
Elder Qian and the others all burst out laughing, and the five hundred-meter giants moved at once.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong moved as well.
Both poured everything they had into this strike!
"Ninth Soul Skill, God-Demon Dual Slash!"
Chen Xin bellowed, and the hundred-foot sword split in two. Twin sword gleams, one white and one black, intertwined as they slashed forth, forming a beam of sword light that pierced the heavens.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Bone-Transforming Divine Dragon!"
Gu Rong's Martial Soul transformed into an enormous, ferocious bone dragon, its entire body black as ink and ghostly blue soul flames burning in its eyes.
Yet,
Faced with such an offensive, Jin Peng and the others remained utterly composed.
It was five against two, after all, and they had Jin Peng, a rank ninety-seven Titled Douluo. They did not even need their full strength to win.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Golden Peng Rends the Heavens!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Core Heart Burns the Heavens!"
"Right Arm Soul Bone Skill, Wolf Fang Shatters Mountains!"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Myriad Sounds Strangulation!"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Trample Mountains and Rivers!"
Five Soul Skills blasted forth at once, colliding with Chen Xin's and Gu Rong's Ninth Soul Skills.
In an instant,
Heaven and earth lost their color!
Boom-!
Chen Xin's God-Demon Dual Slash was crushed in an instant.
Unable to maintain Man and Sword as One, Chen Xin was blasted out of the sword.
The Bone-Transforming Divine Dragon also disintegrated completely under the multiple attacks, and Gu Rong's aura weakened rapidly as he was sent flying.
Moreover,
The shock waves from the collision did not stop there.
The five men's Soul Skills were so powerful that even their lingering shock waves were incredibly dangerous.
"Protect the disciples!"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Douluo and Soul Saint experts rushed out, unleashing their defensive Soul Skills with all their strength to resist together.
But they still could not hold them back!
Large numbers of low-ranking disciples were thrown by the shock waves. Some fell to the ground vomiting blood, while others were struck by collapsing walls. Groans, screams, and cries rose one after another.
"Aaah-!!"
A Soul King guard was flung into a stone pillar by the shock waves. His breastbone shattered, and he slid limply to the ground.
A steward collapsed from exhaustion and lost consciousness on the spot.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lay in ruins.
A large hole gaped in the main hall's high wall, the entire row of western side halls had collapsed, massive craters covered the training ground, and injured people lay strewn across the square.
The five hundred-meter giants stood proudly in the sky above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, like gods looking down upon all living beings.
More than ten li away.
Scouts from the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall, and various other powers watched from afar, witnessing this crushing battle.
When Chen Xin's and Gu Rong's Ninth Soul Skills were effortlessly crushed by Jin Peng's group of five, every scout's expression changed drastically.
"Five Titled Douluo, two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings... the Sword and Bone Douluo had no power to fight back!"
The Heaven Dou spy's voice trembled. "The Body Sect is terrifying beyond belief!"
The Star Luo secret guard's face was deathly pale as he hurriedly penned a secret message: "The Body Sect's strength far exceeds the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's. They won an overwhelming victory without using their full strength."
"Recommend placing the empire on its highest alert and winning them over at any cost!"
Spirit Hall's hidden scouts also looked grave. Their leader said solemnly, "That Titled Douluo named Jin Peng is far too powerful. He is unquestionably strong enough to enter the Worship Hall."
"Moreover, the Body Sect's sect master still hasn't appeared. Just how strong... is he?"
But the Body Sect and Spirit Hall had just entered into a partnership.
So,
Having witnessed the Body Sect's tremendous strength, Spirit Hall's scouts did not know whether they should be happy or wary.
The scouts from the other powers were also left with their jaws on the floor by this battle.
"The Body Sect?"
"This sect that suddenly sprang up has probably already surpassed the Clear Sky Sect!"
"The Clear Sky Sect? Nothing but a relic of a bygone era."
"Exactly. From today onward, the Body Sect is the greatest sect beneath the heavens!"
Everyone who witnessed the battle understood clearly.
From this day onward, the Body Sect's name would shake the entire continent!
