Chapter 62 The Xuanyuan Family
Victory and defeat were already decided.
The golden shockwave sent Yan's massive body flying, and after crashing through a wall, he landed heavily on the ground.
At this moment, Yan had long been dazed by the unique might of the Holy Dao possessed by the Xuanyuan Sword, and even his martial soul possession was forcibly dispelled.
As he fell to the ground now, he completely lost consciousness, lying there like a corpse.
"Yan!"
Xie Yue's figure flashed, arriving at Yan's side. He leaned down to check Yan's breath, and only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
"Who is making a move?"
With such a commotion, the experts from Spirit Hall stationed outside the room naturally detected it. Six figures shot to Zhou Chen's side the moment the voice appeared, surrounding him.
At this time, all six of them had released their martial souls and soul rings; each person possessed seven soul rings.
Soul Saints! Six Soul Saints!
Spirit Hall certainly has great style!
Zhou Chen did not speak. The Xuanyuan Sword in front of him trembled slightly, emitting a clear and melodious sword hum.
The next second, the sword suddenly shot up from the ground, suspended above Zhou Chen's head, with the blade horizontal and the sword tip pointing outward, spitting out golden sword glints!
"Everyone, do not make a move; Ji Chen is my person!"
Seeing Zhou Chen surrounded, Hu Liena immediately shouted loudly. Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed even faster, rushing into the encirclement and blocking herself in front of Zhou Chen.
Hearing this, the six Soul Saints glanced at Hu Liena, silently retreated, and withdrew their martial souls and soul rings.
Although their strength was far higher than Hu Liena's, they dared not disobey the orders of this Pope's successor.
"Are you alright?"
Hu Liena threw herself into Zhou Chen's arms and asked softly with concern.
"He can't hurt me."
Zhou Chen smiled, stretched out his arms, and simultaneously hugged the willow waists of Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Really? Let me check."
Hu Liena said in a coquettish voice. Then, she checked carefully before finally setting her mind at rest.
At this moment, Yan had just been revived by Xie Yue. Coincidentally, he saw that Hu Liena actually did not care about him, who had fainted, but instead was inquiring after this pretty boy who was unharmed.
Immediately, unwillingness, anger, grievance... all sorts of emotions that caused Yan extreme pain surged in his heart. He suddenly spat out another mouthful of fresh blood and fainted again, spraying the blood all over Xie Yue's chest.
"Children just like to fight; fortunately, there was some restraint this time."
An old and cold voice sounded. The next moment, five elderly people suddenly appeared, as if by teleportation.
Of course, they did not know Kam Miao's space soul technique; the reason they looked like they were teleporting was because their strength was too great!
An energy field covered the surroundings of the five elderly people. Although they were simply standing, the aura belonging to experts could not be hidden at all.
All five elderly people wore black robes embroidered with golden patterns.
This type of black robe with golden patterns was a custom-made ceremonial robe that only those above the eightieth level, Soul Douluos, were qualified to receive from Spirit Hall!
Not only that, but immediately after, another fourteen middle-aged men dressed in black tight outfits with a calm and composed demeanor walked in.
From the aura radiating from them, Zhou Chen could clearly sense that these fourteen people were all Soul Saints.
Adding the six Soul Saints who surrounded him earlier, the number of powerhouses Spirit Hall sent to suppress the Blood Soul Masters this time actually totaled five Soul Douluos and twenty Soul Saints!
It was simply terrifying!
"Lord Lordiadala, why have you come?"
Seeing the youngest among the five elderly people, Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise.
"Your Holiness the Saintess, this operation is a matter of great importance. His Majesty the Pope sent me here just to be cautious."
The elder called Lordiadala replied to Hu Liena with a trace of respect, then looked at Zhou Chen, sizing him up, and his eyes grew brighter the more he looked.
"Your name is Ji Chen, right?"
Lordiadala chuckled and said, "Your soul power should be around the fortieth level, yet you were able to defeat the fifty-first level Yan in one move. This shows that the quality of your martial soul is far higher than Yan's Flame Lord."
"How is that possible?"
Hearing these words, another Soul Douluo beside Lordiadala involuntarily cried out.
It must be known that Yan's Flame Lord martial soul is a top-tier martial soul inherited from the ancient abyssal plane.
Within the entire Spirit Hall, there are very few martial souls of higher quality than Yan's.
"Nothing is impossible."
Lordiadala smiled. Looking at the golden ancient long sword above Zhou Chen's head, he asked, "Your martial soul is one this old man has never seen before; what is its name?"
"The sword is named Xuanyuan."
Zhou Chen looked directly into the eyes of the Soul Douluo before him and said in a deep voice.
"Xuanyuan Sword?"
Lordiadala raised an eyebrow, feeling vigilant in his heart, and said in a solemn tone, "This should be a family inherited martial soul, right."
"Correct."
Before Zhou Chen could speak, Hu Liena, sensing a great alarm in her heart, answered first, "Ji Chen's family has always lived in seclusion from the world, calling themselves the Xuanyuan Family, and there has always been only one descendant per generation."
"Only one descendant per generation?"
Hearing these words, the solemnity in Lordiadala's eyes immediately dissipated.
If such a powerful martial soul as the Xuanyuan Sword came from a flourishing family with a large population, they would instantly become another Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect or Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The threat to Spirit Hall would likely be even greater than those two.
But if it is only passed down through a single line, and the current successor is in a romantic relationship with the Saintess Hu Liena, then for Spirit Hall, it is actually an incredibly good thing.
Furthermore, this kid is only a dozen years old yet has reached level forty in soul power.
One can imagine that the strength of Ji Chen's father, grandfather, or even great-grandfather is at least that of a Soul Douluo, or even a super powerhouse at the Titled Douluo level.
In other words, Ji Chen also has a backer behind him.
Thinking this, his gaze became increasingly gentle, and he said enthusiastically, "Little friend Ji Chen, we are making a move against those Blood Soul Masters tonight. When the time comes, the safety of Her Holiness the Saintess will depend on you to protect."
"I will."
Zhou Chen exchanged a glance with Lordiadala, smiling with an innocent look...
Night.
Southwest corner of Silves City.
The experts from Spirit Hall, led by five Soul Douluos, were tightly surrounding the Blood Soul Masters' lair located here from all directions.
And in mid-air, Zhou Chen stepped on the Xuanyuan Sword while holding Hu Liena, completely exuding the style of an immortal cultivator.
That's right, the Xuanyuan Sword could also be used as a flying sword; this was the result of Zhou Chen's research over six years.
However, like the might of the Holy Dao emitted by the Xuanyuan Sword itself, sword riding flight is not a soul skill but a passive skill.
If he wanted to use a soul skill, for example, the move "Xuanyuan Sword Exits, Mountains and Rivers Shatter" that Zhou Chen performed back then, he had to activate his first martial soul, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.
The reason was, on one hand, that the Xuanyuan Sword was the sword of the Yellow Emperor, so naturally it could only be controlled with ease by the Yellow Emperor martial soul.
On the other hand, it was because the Xuanyuan Sword had no soul rings.
In reality, the Xuanyuan Sword was more like an extension of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor martial soul, and it shared the million-year god-level soul ring with the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor martial soul.
