Two Soul Bones, Death Attribute

Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin transformed into a single Seven Kill Sword.

It slashed down at the Death Spider Emperor with a thunderous crash.

The Death Spider Emperor sensed keenly that it could not afford to be struck by this attack.

It unleashed its Soul Power and roared, its two front spider legs chopping at their Seven Kill True Body like sharp blades.

"Slash!"

Chen Jianjun shouted furiously.

Their attacks collided, the sound reverberating throughout Death Canyon. A blast of wind swept as far as where Qian Xunling and Bibi Dong stood.

Bibi Dong ducked behind Qian Xunling and saw Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin sent flying backward. "It looks like the old grandpas can't beat it," she said worriedly.

Hiss! Hiss!

The Death Spider Emperor seemed utterly enraged.

The venom on its body bubbled up.

At the same time, several clones charged straight at Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin.

"It can create clones?" Chen Jianjun's expression tightened. He looked at Chen Xin. "Xin'er, don't hold anything back. Use your full strength."

"Yes, Father," Chen Xin replied.

At the same moment, both men began using sword Qi.

Two of the Death Spider Emperor's clones charged straight at them.

Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin used their Soul Skills together with their sword Qi, barely managing to hold them off before staggering backward. But the Death Spider Emperor's main body gave them no time to react. Its eight spider legs became deadly blades as it rushed in front of Chen Xin in an instant.

It had seen that Chen Xin was the weaker of the two.

So it intended to break through Chen Xin first.

"Xin'er!" Chen Jianjun's expression turned anxious, and he immediately shook off the Death Spider Emperor clone in front of him. But the remaining two Spider Emperor Clones promptly blocked his path.

"Damn it!" Chen Jianjun shouted, sword Qi bursting forth.

But the three Death Spider Emperor clones cared nothing for life or death.

Chen Xin had to face the Death Spider Emperor's main body alone.

He was only a Level 92 Titled Douluo and was utterly incapable of dealing with a top-tier Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.

But Chen Xin would not yield. He shouted, "Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

"Man and Sword as One!"

Chen Xin once again unleashed the essence of the sword.

Unfortunately, no matter how great his mastery, it counted for little against such overwhelmingly superior raw power. The Death Spider Emperor stabbed out with its two front legs, destroying Chen Xin's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect and striking him.

"Ugh!" Chen Xin was sent flying backward.

Bibi Dong cried anxiously, "Martial Uncle!"

But she found that Qian Xunling was no longer beside her.

"Martial Uncle?" Bibi Dong looked around in alarm.

Qian Xunling appeared in front of Chen Xin and the Death Spider Emperor. Seven Soul Rings rose slowly around him, and his second, third, and fifth Soul Rings lit up at once.

"Freeze."

Qian Xunling clapped his hands together.

The Death Spider Emperor's descending front legs froze in place, held fast by the wind in the air. At the same time, powerful healing energy immediately repaired Chen Xin's body, restoring him in an instant.

Before Chen Xin could marvel at the terrifying healing ability, he heard Qian Xunling shout, "If you're not dead, hurry up and attack its eyes! Smash every last one of them!"

"Right!" Chen Xin got back to his feet and charged forward.

Seeing that Chen Xin was all right, Chen Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately focused all his attention on the three Death Spider Emperor clones and said coldly, "You're in my way."

Qian Xunling fixed his gaze on the Death Spider Emperor. His Divine Aspect Martial Soul rose behind him, and he pulled both hands downward. Lightning crackled down from all across the sky!

The Death Spider Emperor roared and tore free of Qian Xunling's Second Soul Skill.

But Qian Xunling shouted again, "Sixth Soul Skill, Time Stop!"

A black-and-white domain covered more than half the nest.

The Death Spider Emperor could not move.

But Chen Xin could still swing his sword.

Qian Xunling shouted, "Do it!"

"Right!" Chen Xin had no time to consider the terrifying Soul Skill. He immediately unleashed his Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar, once more, then used his Eighth Soul Skill: "Thirteen Sword Slashes!"

The bound Death Spider Emperor could not break free in that brief second or two. Even Tang Chen would have been held in place for half a second by Qian Xunling now, let alone the spider.

Thus, the lightning from the sky and Chen Xin's Eighth Soul Skill struck the Death Spider Emperor's many compound eyes together.

A sizzling sound accompanied the explosion of all the Death Spider Emperor's compound eyes. Chen Xin even used his full strength to smash its brain, stopping just short of decapitating it.

After Time Stop dissipated,

the three spider clones on Chen Jianjun's side came to a halt.

Chen Xin thought they had succeeded.

But Qian Xunling shouted, "Its origin core isn't in its brain, so it can only be in the center of its abdomen. Neither of you hold anything back. Quickly, use your strongest attacks to pierce the origin core inside its abdomen.

"It has an undying body. As long as its core isn't destroyed, it can keep regenerating."

"It has an ability like that?"

Without much hesitation, Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin flew once more toward the Death Spider Emperor, which looked like a corpse, the moment Qian Xunling finished shouting. But in that brief span, the four Death Spider Emperor clones began moving again, charging at Qian Xunling.

Qian Xunling gritted his teeth. "Sixth Soul Skill, Time Stop!"

This was the second time Qian Xunling had used Time Stop in a short span.

And he was facing a Hundred Thousand Year Death Spider Emperor.

A wave of exhaustion washed over Qian Xunling's mind, and his body felt as though it were being torn apart. But he ignored it and shouted, "Hurry!"

The Death Spider Emperor, which had been preparing to regenerate, was firmly suppressed by the power of Time Stop. But it was visibly struggling to break free, making the black-and-white domain tremble.

Chen Xin also realized that something was terribly wrong and began exerting all his strength. "Ninth Soul Skill, Strongest Sword Strike."

His Ninth Soul Skill would burn his life, but only for a short while. He could withstand it.

Chen Jianjun also began using his Eighth Soul Skill. "Eighth Soul Skill, Seven Kill Thrust."

The two aimed at the Death Spider Emperor's abdomen-or, more precisely, the spot where the presence of regeneration was strongest-and thrust the Seven Kill Swords in their hands forward at the same time. At the moment father and son unleashed their attacks,

they seemed to gain insight into another Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

They shouted together, "Seven Kill Thrust Formation!"

At the same moment, a sword formation enveloped the Death Spider Emperor's body. The Seven Kill Swords within the formation, together with those in Chen Jianjun's and Chen Xin's hands, turned into countless streams of sword Qi that pierced its abdomen.

The Death Spider Emperor's abdomen was covered in its thickest armor.

But faced with this attack, and unable to use its Soul Power to resist, the armor was broken through in an instant. A sword then pierced the origin core within its body.

The resurgent presence of regeneration abruptly vanished from the Death Spider Emperor.

The four Death Spider Emperors also disappeared at the same time.

At the side, Bibi Dong clenched her fists and cried joyfully, "We did it! Hooray!"

The Death Spider Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly floated out, and two Soul Bones emerged with it.

"Soul Bones! And there are two of them!"

These were Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, worth a fortune.

Even Chen Xin felt a flicker of envy.

But Chen Xin looked at Chen Jianjun and kept his composure. Chen Jianjun smiled and looked respectfully at Qian Xunling. "Congratulations, Young Master Xunling. It's hard to imagine anyone getting even one Soul Bone from killing a Soul Beast, yet you got two at once."

Qian Xunling smiled. "Thank you both. I'll still need you to stand guard for me. I'm going to absorb this Soul Ring here."

"Rest assured, we're here," Chen Jianjun said with a nod.

Qian Xunling sat down cross-legged and drew the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring toward him. At the same time, his Immortal Martial Soul appeared and sat cross-legged in front of him, as though they were one and the same.

When the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring floated over Qian Xunling,

the death-attribute presence emanating from it surged with a roar!

"What is this?" Chen Jianjun looked at Qian Xunling in bewilderment.

He wasn't worried, just purely curious.

The eyes of Qian Xunling's Divine Aspect Martial Soul turned golden, and an unusual power surged sharply, as though using the attribute presence released by the Soul Ring to stir something in a corner of this world.

Although nothing was happening before them,

Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin distinctly felt discomfort throughout their bodies, along with an inexplicable sense of weakness. Both looked at Qian Xunling. In the air, unseen by them, a presence belonging solely to death poured into his Divine Aspect Martial Soul.
