The intelligence received by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was inaccurate.
Chen Xin only knew there was a Sword-winged Dragon in Thunder Canyon with an age between 1,500 and 2,000 years, but he didn’t know this Sword-winged Dragon was the offspring of a 50,000-year Sword-winged Dragon King.
After finding the Sword-winged Dragon, Ke Jie was just about to make a move when the Sword-winged Dragon King unexpectedly ambushed him.
Caught off guard, he was almost heavily injured.
Fortunately, the Sky Canopy Chessboard was large enough to block the sneak attack.
A 50,000-year soul beast was equivalent in strength to a human Spirit Douluo.
Furthermore, Ke Jie was a control-system soul master and lacked lethal attack methods.
Although he could restrain the opponent, that was the extent of it.
These damn bastards from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan didn’t inform us about the existence of the Sword-winged Dragon King in advance, Ke Jie cursed every single member of the Blue Lightning clan in his heart.
This was their territory; how could they not know about the existence of the Sword-winged Dragon King?
Perhaps they planned to use this opportunity to silently assassinate Ning Tianchen.
If Ning Rongrong hadn’t insisted on coming, Ke Jie wouldn’t have been sent out.
With Sword Douluo Chen Xin’s strength, dealing with the Sword-winged Dragon King wouldn’t have been a problem.
But if the battle became too intense, other soul beasts would rush over to assist.
Surrounded from all sides, Chen Xin might be able to handle it, but Ning Tianchen would have zero chance of survival.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan is truly malicious.
Thankfully, the Eldest Miss had the foresight to bring me along, Ke Jie fumed inwardly.
Even if the Blue Lightning clan really did this, they would never admit it.
Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan demanded answers later, they could use various excuses to brush it off.
He had to report this to the Sect Master and expose their ugly faces!
…
About the time it took an incense stick to burn, Chen Xin arrived with Ning Tianchen and Rongrong.
The moment he saw the Sword-winged Dragon King, Chen Xin instantly guessed the Blue Lightning clan’s trick.
With a cold snort, he placed Ning Tianchen and Rongrong in a safe area far from the battlefield.
“Tianchen, hide well.
I’m leaving Rongrong’s safety in your hands.” Chen Xin patted his shoulder, his expression solemn.
Then, he quickly rushed to the battlefield to assist.
Thunder Canyon wasn’t large, and the commotion from the battle quickly attracted the attention of other soul beasts.
Among the soul beasts raised here by the Blue Lightning clan, two Thunder Dragons, aged 70,000 and 65,000 years respectively, had already arrived in the sky above the battlefield.
To prevent any unforeseen events, Chen Xin directly activated his Martial Soul Avatar.
Hiding in the safe zone, Ning Tianchen didn’t know he had been set up by the Blue Lightning clan.
He stared fixedly at Chen Xin in mid-air with burning eyes.
“The Seven Kill Sword’s ‘Kill’ character sword technique!”
The ‘Kill’ character technique was one of the Seven Kill Sword’s most powerful sword techniques.
To learn it, one needed the strength of at least a Soul Sage.
Two consecutive ‘Kill’ characters descended, completely neutralizing the attacks of the two Thunder Dragons.
“Grandpa Jian is so amazing,” Ning Rongrong couldn’t help but clap her hands.
Despite knowing him for so long, this was the first time Ning Tianchen had seen Chen Xin go all out.
He watched without blinking, afraid of missing an opportunity to learn.
Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to vibrate; something was about to drill out from underground.
Ning Tianchen immediately snapped back to reality.
The Seven Kill Sword martial soul appeared, and two yellow soul rings floated around him.
“Second Soul Skill, Dragon Sword Guardian!”
He planted the Seven Kill Sword into the ground, transforming his soul power into thousands of spiritual swords, forming a sword qi barrier that enveloped the two of them.
Seeing Ning Tianchen’s soul skill, Ning Rongrong, who was watching the battle, immediately summoned her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
From underground, a 600-year Earth Dragon (earthworm) emerged.
Its disc-shaped mouth was filled with rows of sharp teeth.
It bit down on the barrier but failed to shatter it.
“What a disgusting soul beast!
Brother Tianchen, hurry up and finish it off!” Ning Rongrong yelled, her face pale with fright.
For an Earth Dragon to possess a 600-year cultivation, there must be some kind of fortuitous encounter in this area, Ning Tianchen analyzed internally.
He knew from the sect academy that Earth Dragons usually only had a few decades of cultivation at most.
Without natural predators and if they lived long enough, they might have a chance to become hundred-year soul beasts.
But that was the absolute limit for this species; reaching 600 years was practically impossible.
The size of the creature in front of him was large enough to swallow an adult whole.
“Rongrong, buff me.
I’ll go meet it head-on.”
With a loud shout, Ning Tianchen pulled the Seven Kill Sword from the ground and charged at the Earth Dragon.
The two yellow soul rings beneath Ning Rongrong’s feet flashed.
“Seven Treasures spin, out comes the Glaze.
Seven Treasures have names: First is Strength, Second is Speed.”
Two rays of seven-colored light entered his body, boosting Ning Tianchen’s strength and speed by thirty percent.
Seeing its “food” approaching, the Earth Dragon pulled the rear half of its body out of the ground, intending to severely injure its opponent with a tail whip before swallowing him.
“First Soul Skill, Azure Dragon Break.”
Sword qi shot out, forming the phantom of an Azure Dragon.
As his soul power level increased, the power of his first soul skill had also grown significantly.
The sword qi landed on the Earth Dragon’s body, slicing through its tough outer cuticle without resistance and chopping it in two.
Earth Dragons were very unique soul beasts.
Usually, if a soul beast was cut in half, it had almost no chance of survival.
But the Earth Dragon’s severed halves seemed to gain independent consciousness, both attacking Ning Tianchen simultaneously.
Although only one segment would eventually survive long-term, in the short term, Ning Tianchen undoubtedly had to face “two Earth Dragons” at once.
Moving to neutralize, turning to flip, light and steady, swift and fast.
After five years of training, Ning Tianchen had successfully fused his movement techniques with his swordplay.
His footwork was swift and fierce, moving like a breeze, stable as a mountain.
The Seven Kill Sword swung a arc of light; like a gentle breeze, the sword was unseen.
The two Earth Dragons lost their target, their attacks completely missing Ning Tianchen.
The light of the Seven Kill Sword fell upon them, chopping their bodies into pieces once more.
Earth Dragons could not split infinitely.
Once their bodies were severed again, they completely lost their vitality.
A yellow soul ring emerged from one of the body segments.
Seeing the danger resolved, Ning Rongrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She curiously examined the Earth Dragon’s corpse.
“Brother Tianchen, is this an Earth Dragon?
How could this kind of soul beast have such a high age?”
Ning Tianchen didn’t answer; he didn’t dare lower his guard yet.
The stench of blood from the dead Earth Dragon would likely attract other soul beasts.
Their priority was to relocate immediately.
…
The scene on the ground was observed by Chen Xin.
Initially, he had prepared to step in, but seeing Ning Tianchen calmly handle the Earth Dragon’s attacks, he felt relieved.
Ning Tianchen’s soul power was at level thirty; ordinary thousand-year soul beasts were no match for him.
Withdrawing his gaze, he focused on Ke Jie.
Currently, Ke Jie was surrounded by multiple 50,000-year soul beasts.
Relying on the unique properties of the Sky Canopy Chessboard, he barely managed to stabilize the situation.
But if this dragged on, the outcome would be unpredictable.
