["What?!"]
["The Soul Skill attacks from all four of us were swallowed just like that?!"]
[The wind and snow atop the mountain suddenly faltered, and the vicious grins on Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and the others froze in place.]
["Next, it's our turn!"]
[Before the words had faded, a series of faint cracking sounds suddenly came from the surrounding void.]
[Gu Rong stood in midair with his hands behind his back. Behind him, his Bone Dragon Martial Soul spread its enormous skeletal wings, its pitch-black bony scales gleaming coldly.]
[He raised his fingertips slightly, and dozens of pitch-black spatial fissures abruptly tore open in every direction, each only the size of a palm.]
[Yet they resembled opening slit pupils, firmly locking down every possible direction of evasion for the four Titled Douluo: Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Snake Lance, and Pufferfish.]
["Little Sword, your turn."]
[Gu Rong smiled faintly, his voice brimming with confidence.]
[The Seven Kill Sword in Chen Xin's hand hummed softly. His white robes stirred without wind as he closed his eyes, wielded his sword, and recited!]
["Cloud-Rising Ambition · Wind-Following Sword Art-"]
["Dark Warrior's Protection, Iron Sword Invincibility! A blade worth a thousand gold, its edge concealed for decades, never once drawn!"]
["When I turn back, Meteor Chasing the Moon sweeps nineteen provinces in an instant! Slaying demons, and gods and Buddhas too!"]
["A Thousand Generations Untouched, Giant Sword Mending! Free and unfettered in a secluded corner, let the mortal world disturb me not!"]
["Now I turn! Sword Qi Unleashed, cold radiance spanning thirty thousand miles! I ask only this of all beneath heaven-who can match me!"]
[The sword rose!!!]
[Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!!!]
[The concentrated sword qi instantly split into hundreds upon thousands of tiny sword shadows, all plunging into the spatial fissures Gu Rong had spread out.]
[The next second, the Spatial Gates surrounding the four Titled Douluo erupted simultaneously with a skyful of sword qi!]
["Not good! He's trying to attack us with his sword qi through Gu Rong's Spatial Gates!"]
["And our earlier attacks... Gu Rong has sent those back through the Spatial Gates too!!"]
[Snake Lance reacted fastest, sweeping his lance across himself to block. Yet a string of crisp clangs exploded like a barrage of beads, and notches instantly covered the lance's shaft as the sword qi slammed him backward through the air.]
["Aaaaah!!!"]
[Pufferfish was already injured, and several streaks of sword qi pierced his shoulder, sending blood spraying wildly.]
[The two Super Douluo, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, roared simultaneously, spreading their Soul Power and forcibly shattering the surrounding sword qi. Even so, they had been caught off guard, their robes torn and their appearances utterly bedraggled.]
["What a troublesome combination of bizarre spatial powers and swordsmanship!"]
[Qian Jun Douluo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze so sinister it seemed ready to drip water. "But don't celebrate too soon. Our Spirit Hall has planned the Soul Hunting Operation for years. How could these be our only means!"]
[Demon Subduing Douluo immediately understood and swiftly exchanged looks with Snake Lance and Pufferfish. All three flickered into motion, taking positions beside and behind Qian Jun, then pressing all three pairs of palms against his back.]
["Pour all your Soul Power into me!" Qian Jun bellowed. His ninth Soul Ring abruptly blazed with dazzling black light, and his Soul Power surged madly like a volcano. "Try my strongest trump-card killing move!"]
["Codex Burst · Doomsday Codex Annihilation Curse!"]
[In an instant, countless ancient talismans burning with flames appeared around Qian Jun. They spun and expanded, spreading toward the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with an aura that could destroy heaven and earth.]
["Not good!!"]
[Gu Rong's expression changed drastically. He pushed his spatial power to its limit to erect a barrier, but those talismans were like black mist that could seep through every opening, exploding outward along the folds of space.]
["Protect the sect master and Rongrong first!!"]
[Seeing that they could not withstand the situation, Chen Xin spoke urgently.]
[Left with no choice, Gu Rong abandoned his attempt to stop the attack and used Spatial Gate, taking Chen Xin as he sped toward Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong. He brought the two of them, along with the nearby sect disciples, to higher ground, out of the expanding blast's range.]
[Rumble!!!]
[Deafening explosions rang out one after another, and the entire mountaintop of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shook violently.]
[Halls with upturned eaves and interlocking brackets collapsed in an instant. Towering ancient trees were blasted apart at their middles, and white snow mixed with rubble and bloody froth sprayed across the sky.]
[The low-ranking disciples in the front rows were swallowed by the curse's power before they could even scream. Those in the middle and rear were also hurled away by the shock waves, severed limbs and broken remains scattering everywhere.]
[Crimson blood flowed down toward the foot of the mountain with the snowmelt. The sect that had once resembled an immortal palace became a scorched wasteland of ruins in the blink of an eye.]
["All forces, hear my command!"]
[Qian Jun Douluo hovered amid the flames of the explosions, his sinister laughter resounding across the battlefield.]
["Kill! Leave no one alive!!!"]
[In an instant, the fourteen thousand Spirit Hall Soul Masters behind him answered in unison.]
[The light of their Soul Rings joined into a black sea as they trampled over ruins and blood, bearing down on the surviving Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples.]
The images on the Sky Screen paused.
An uproar instantly boiled over among the beings of both worlds.
It was fiercer than at any previous moment.
"Holy freaking hell! The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was razed to the ground just like that?!"
"So this was Spirit Hall's ultimate trump card for attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Isn't that way too outrageous!"
"People were just saying Sword and Bone were guaranteed to win together, and now the whole sect's gone in the blink of an eye? That must have cost them at least half their disciples!"
"Spirit Hall's fourteen thousand people are practically unscathed, while the remaining Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples are dead or wounded. How are they supposed to hold them off?!"
"What difference does it make that Gu Rong made it back? The sect's been blasted to pieces, and everyone's lost heart. How can they keep fighting?!"
"Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the Manga World really going to follow in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's footsteps?!"
Anime World.
Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang froze for two seconds, then burst into shrill laughter:
"Ning Rongrong! I told you long ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the other world is doomed to destruction!"
Ning Rongrong's face paled, but she still refused to believe it and snapped:
"Bullshit! The sect's been destroyed, but its main fighting force is still there! There's definitely still hope!!"
Manga World.
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
At the sight, Ning Rongrong immediately collapsed to the ground, tears welling up uncontrollably:
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... has been destroyed!!!"
Seeing this, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others immediately stepped forward to comfort her.
Yu Xiaogang also approached, his gaze utterly resolute:
"Rongrong, believe in your sect! It definitely won't fall!!"
As the beings of both worlds discussed it.
The Sky Screen's revelations continued:
[Above the mountaintop ruins, smoke and dust slowly dispersed, carrying a mist of blood.]
[The surviving Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples slumped among broken walls and rubble, staring at the sect that had once resembled an immortal palace, now reduced to scorched earth.]
[As they looked at the mutilated bodies of their fellow disciples beside them, some finally lost control and broke down.]
["Could it be... that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is destined to be destroyed here...?"]
["How are we supposed to stand against four Titled Douluo and an army of over ten thousand Soul Masters now?!"]
[The tear-choked murmurs drifted through the wind and snow into everyone's ears, weighing on their chests until they felt stifled.]
[Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Gu Rong, all present, felt a chill in their hearts.]
[Only Sword flew into a rage!]
[He slowly raised his eyes, sweeping his gaze across the devastated sect and the disciples who were either dead or wounded. The sword intent he had kept suppressed deep within his eyes abruptly surged into towering waves.]
[Finally, Chen Xin quickly calmed himself again and gave a faint smile.]
["It's simple. I'll just break through, won't I?!"]
[During the battle just now, as he witnessed the destruction of the sect he regarded as home, he had attained enlightenment!!]
[With that, he finally stopped concealing his aura and revealed it, his cultivation climbing madly at tremendous speed!]
