A spotless white robe, silver hair neatly combed, and in his hand—a sword, three feet and three inches long, without any ornamentation. Under the blessing of soul power, it gleamed with a dazzling azure light.
His expression was indifferent, his eyes seemingly blind to everything around him.
He stood there, silent.
Yet even by merely standing still, he radiated the feeling that all under heaven and earth bowed to his supremacy.
This was Sword Douluo.
Behind him stood an exceptionally tall, skeletal old man, and beside that elder was a refined middle-aged man, a seven-tiered pagoda spinning in his palm. They were Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi.
Poison Douluo stepped forward to stand with them, shoulder to shoulder.
Though there were only three Titled Douluo present, under Ning Fengzhi's support, they faintly resisted the oppressive might of the six Titled Douluo before them.
"Sword Dao Chen Xin… your reputation is well-deserved."
The Titled Douluo who had been sent flying by the Seven Kill Sword returned with heavy steps. His body was covered in thick armor, studded with jagged barbs that gleamed with a chilling, murderous light.
But on that proud armor was now a deep white mark—the scar left by the recent clash with the Seven Kill Sword.
"Hall of Spirits' Ninth Elder—Xuan Gui Douluo."
Sword Douluo recognized him instantly.
With the situation having reached this stage—six Titled Douluo sent at once—who else could it be but the Spirit Hall?
And it was clear the six had no intention of concealing their identities. Or rather, they had already resolved to leave no witnesses alive.
"Xuan Gui, Mo Xiong, Ghost Leopard, Thorned Porcupine, Snake Lance, and Spirit Kite…"
Bone Douluo recited their names like a list he had long committed to memory, his brows twitching slightly.
Six Titled Douluo—and this did not even count Bibi Dong and her "Heng-Ha" pair, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo.
That meant the Spirit Hall's known power had already reached nine Titled Douluo.
And beyond that, rumors spoke of a Worship Hall with several Super Douluo at rank 95 or above, not to mention Qian Daoliu himself…
Hiss—
Even Bone Douluo could not help but draw a sharp breath.
Such a force—who could stand against it?
And though six Titled Douluo stood openly before them, who could say if Bibi Dong herself was not lurking nearby?
A mission of this magnitude, yet her two personal Douluo were absent? Who would believe that?
Bone Douluo scanned the surroundings, searching for any other hidden enemies.
Across from them, the six Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall stepped forward in unison.
Just a single step—and the oppressive pressure surged sharply.
At the front, Sword Douluo gave a muffled grunt and, without hesitation, unleashed his Martial Soul True Body.
Dugu Bo followed suit. His face pale, he retreated two steps before releasing the Martial Soul True Body of the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor—a massive serpent materializing in the air.
Shua—
Under Bone Douluo's protection, Ning Fengzhi's face was solemn as he raised his hand, releasing his own Martial Soul True Body. The phantom of a towering Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda appeared behind him. Beams of light in several colors simultaneously shot into the bodies of the three Titled Douluo.
Sword, Bone, and Poison Douluo—three Douluo whose auras suddenly soared to unfathomable heights.
"I've heard the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda can grant a Titled Douluo the strength to face two Douluo at once. I wonder if the rumors are true… I want to test them."
Mo Xiong Douluo's massive figure stepped forward, murderous light flashing in his eyes.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—
The perfect spirit ring configuration shone on his body. His cultivation had reached a terrifying rank of 95. No wonder he was eager to measure himself.
Sword Douluo gave a cold snort, stepped forward with the Seven Kill Sword in hand, and said icily, "Let me."
Beside him, Xuan Gui Douluo stepped forward without a word, moving to stand beside Mo Xiong Douluo.
The combined pressure of two Titled Douluo bore down upon Sword Douluo.
But he merely stood still, sword pointed forward, without even using a soul skill—his aura alone breaking apart their combined momentum.
Then, with a single step forward, a blue domain burst outward—Seven Kill Domain!
Following that, Sword Douluo slashed seven times, carving into the air seven strokes that formed the character for "Kill."
This was Sword Douluo's original soul skill.
And this time, he unleashed four of them in one breath.
Under the boost of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, his momentum climbed to an immeasurable peak. Four "Kill" characters attacked simultaneously, forcing Mo Xiong and Xuan Gui Douluo to both unleash their Martial Soul True Bodies, fighting with all their might.
For the opponent was the man famed as the strongest offense in the world—Sword Douluo. Even two-on-one, they dared not take him lightly.
Clang—Bang—
Soul power clashed in bursts, brilliant spirit rings and soul skills flashing. Though he fought alone against two, Sword Douluo's strength forced them to back up step by step.
"Damn it! We're here for a mission, not a sparring match. Everyone—attack together!"
Snake Lance Douluo's cold shout rang out.
In the next moment, the other four Titled Douluo all stepped forward.
A chill seeped through the air as green poison mist enveloped them—Dugu Bo's sinister voice following, "Don't forget—I'm still here…"
Thorned Porcupine Douluo snorted coldly, turning to inhale deeply. The poisonous mist vanished into his lungs in an instant.
"Old venom sack, let's see whose poison is deadlier!" he said with a mocking tone.
The two titled Douluo turned to clash directly.
Thorned Porcupine Douluo's cultivation was not high among Titled Douluo—only rank 92, equal to Dugu Bo's. But his martial soul perfectly countered Dugu Bo's poison. Even with Ning Fengzhi's boosts, Dugu Bo found it difficult to gain the upper hand, barely managing a slight advantage.
On the other side, Spirit Kite, Ghost Leopard, and Snake Lance Douluo advanced on Sword Douluo together—five against one.
No matter how strong he was, even Sword Douluo could not face five Titled Douluo head-on.
Bone Douluo sighed, activating his Martial Soul True Body to forcibly hold back two of them, but this allowed Snake Lance Douluo to slip through.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's two guardian Douluo—one fighting three, the other two—while Dugu Bo was locked with Thorned Porcupine Douluo.
For the moment, the battle seemed evenly matched.
Xuan Gui Douluo, pushed back by a single sword strike, narrowed his eyes and shouted, "I'll take down Ning Fengzhi! Without the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's boost, I don't believe the three of them can stand against all six of us!"
With that, two of his spirit rings flared in rapid succession—too fast to see what skills he used—before his spiked armor surged forward toward Ning Fengzhi at extreme speed.
