"Sword Douluo, you were indeed hiding in the shadows." Grand Marshal Lin Yu, who had not yet entered the chaotic battle, instantly unleashed a terrifying aura and charged forward.
"Third Spirit Ability, Sword Intent Like Flight!"
Sword Douluo, clad in soldier's armor, was hidden among the soldiers and was rapidly launching a sneak attack on Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo not far away.
His Third Spirit Ability used spirit power to drive the Seven Kill Sword, making it move at an extremely high speed, thereby achieving a preemptive strike.
If a high-level Titled Douluo were to launch a sneak attack amidst a chaotic battle, it would be extremely deadly.
Snake Lance and Porcupinefish had no time to react to Sword Douluo, who had long prepared to ambush them.
"Oh no! Snake Lance Douluo, watch out!"
Snake Lance and Porcupinefish had already sensed the dangerous aura behind them and turned around at their limit to defend. Although they blocked the attack, they were heavily wounded by Sword Douluo's single strike and sent flying.
"Pfft! Ahhh!"
Both of them simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and crashed to the ground.
They were instantly heavily wounded by Sword Douluo's sneak attack.
"Sword DouluoChen Xin… you… you actually ambushed us." Snake Lance Douluo clutched his chest, speaking weakly.
There was nothing wrong with a sneak attack, but for Sword Douluo, who was seen as righteous and held himself in high regard, ambushing others was somewhat unbefitting of his status.
If it were the Sword Douluo of the past, no matter what, he would indeed not choose to sneak attack, nor would he condescend to do so.
However, after the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, coupled with the current situation, Sword Douluo's mindset changed.
What did a sneak attack matter, as long as he could kill a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall?
"War is inherently deceitful. It's enough if I can kill you all." Sword Douluo spoke arrogantly, in his eyes, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo were already dead for sure:
"Go to hell, Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall!"
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Killing Intent Revealed!"
Sword Douluo rapidly unleashed several sword energy cross-slashes, striking towards Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo.
"Oh no! Snake Lance! Porcupinefish!!"
Dugu Bo, Ling Yan, and Golden Alligator, the three Titled Douluo, wanted to rush over in time to provide support, but it was already too late.
In this situation, the heavily wounded Snake Lance and Porcupinefish were simply unable to withstand Sword Douluo's Fourth Spirit Ability.
They would definitely be killed on the spot!
Snake Lance and Porcupinefish also felt the fear of death: "It's over…"
But just at that critical moment, a long sword burning with raging flames descended from the sky, striking the ground directly in front of Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, blocking Sword Douluo's Fourth Spirit Ability.
Bang! Boom! Boom!
The long sword emitted raging flames, forcing Sword Douluo back.
"This is…" Sword Douluo frowned tightly.
The flames dispersed.
Grand Marshal Lin Yu's figure appeared between the two sides, looking indifferently at Sword Douluo before him.
"Grand Marshal Lin Yu!!"
Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo looked excited, and they also let out a long sigh of relief: "We're saved."
"Grand Marshal Lin Yu!" Looking at the extraordinary young man before him, Sword Douluo immediately felt his power and aura suppressed.
His expression was incredibly solemn, wary, and also extremely unwilling.
Just a little more!
He was just a little short of seizing the opportunity to instantly kill two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, but he was blocked by Grand Marshal Lin Yu at the crucial moment.
"Snake Lance, Porcupinefish, retreat. You two temporarily disengage and go to the rear to recover from your injuries." Grand Marshal Lin Yu waved his hand.
"Yes! Grand Marshal Lin Yu!"
Snake Lance and Porcupinefish exchanged glances, then quickly helped each other up and turned to retreat.
Being heavily wounded, they were in a weakened state, and continuing to fight in such a condition would easily lead to their deaths on the battlefield.
Grand Marshal Lin Yu looked coldly at Sword Douluo before him with some surprise, because he felt that Sword Douluo's spirit power had already reached level 97.
In the original work, Sword Douluo was always a peak level 96 powerhouse, and his spirit power broke through to level 97 after his arm was severed when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was attacked.
But in this life, he did not lose an arm, and his spirit power also broke through to level 97 after the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"We meet again, Sword Douluo." Grand Marshal Lin Yu said as he walked towards the Fire God Sword in front of him, pulling it from the ground and gripping it in his hand.
Looking at the flame-emitting sword in Grand Marshal Lin Yu's hand, Sword Douluo could tell that it was no ordinary artifact.
He put one hand behind his back, once again displaying his arrogant posture: "It seems you have always been wary of me."
"I had long heard that after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed, you, Sword Douluo, immediately gathered less than ten percent of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile SchoolSpirit Masters who were outside and entered Heaven Dou City to seek refuge with the Heaven Dou Empire."
"In this battle, the Heaven Dou Empire dispatched five hundred thousand troops to aid Barak Royal City, so I naturally should have thought that you, Sword Douluo, might be lurking among them. What I didn't expect was that you actually broke through to level 97."
"It's a good thing I was prepared, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have lost two Titled Douluo generals today." Grand Marshal Lin Yu said calmly.
Previously, Grand Marshal Lin Yu would usually charge into battle, taking the lead in killing enemies.
But in today's battle, he had always remained in the rear without making a move precisely to guard against Sword Douluo. Otherwise, if he had also been fighting in the chaotic battle, he might not have been able to rescue Snake Lance and Porcupinefish in time from Sword Douluo's sneak attack.
Since he had already missed the opportune moment to kill Porcupinefish and Snake Lance, two Titled Douluo, his unwillingness was useless. Sword Douluo's killing intent was fully revealed, and he forcefully activated his Martial Soul True Body: "Seventh Spirit Ability, Seven Kill True Body!!"
He planned to see if he could kill Grand Marshal Lin Yu in a short period of time.
Grand Marshal Lin Yu's life was worth several times more than Snake Lance and Porcupinefish's.
"I had long anticipated that your talent would one day rival mine. I just didn't expect you to grow even faster than I imagined, so quickly becoming qualified to stand before me and be regarded as an opponent."
"Make your move, young man."
Sword Douluo's attitude was serious and solemn, without the slightest hint of disdain. He did not underestimate the young man who was only 16 years old and whose spirit power was less than level 90.
He truly regarded Grand Marshal Lin Yu as an opponent, an opponent worthy of his full effort.
However, Sword Douluo did not know that his current strength, strictly speaking, was no longer qualified to be regarded as an opponent by Grand Marshal Lin Yu.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed by me. Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi also died by my sword, personally slain by me."
"Sword Douluo, this is your only chance to avenge them. You must seize it well." Grand Marshal Lin Yu intentionally revealed this matter, while also activating his Martial Soul True Body.
And released his Elemental Domain.
His purpose in saying this was to ignite Sword Douluo's anger and hatred, making him fight to the death with him.
"What did you say?! You personally killed the Sect Master?!"
Sword Douluo, upon hearing this, was indeed provoked. His hand gripping the Seven Kill Sword visibly trembled, and his killing intent soared: "Grand Marshal Lin Yu, today you shall surely die by my Seven Kill Sword!!"
"Die!"
"First Spirit Ability, Long Sword Unsheathed!"
Sword Douluo manipulated the Seven Kill Sword to stab towards Grand Marshal Lin Yu, while simultaneously charging forward.
"Sword Douluo, today, let me truly experience the strength of you, the world's foremost sword master." Grand Marshal Lin Yu gripped the Fire God Sword and easily deflected the Seven Kill Sword.
