Qian Renxue and Sword Douluo stood in mid-air, facing off. Sword Douluo Chen Xin immediately summoned his Seven Killing Sword, and his soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared, radiating an intense killing aura.
His soul rings were identical to those of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, but the two were not on the same level.
Holding the Seven Killing Sword, Sword Douluo stood with an aura of absolute power. The clouds around him scattered as if unwilling to face him.
"Aren't you going to use your martial soul?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue released his martial soul as well. The pure and holy power flooded the entire sky, with divine light shining as if to illuminate the entire night.
Behind him, eight wings slowly appeared, blocking the sun, and demonstrating Qian Renxue's immense strength. The white feathers floated freely, symbolizing the Angel Martial Soul's pursuit of freedom.
"Six-winged Angel?!"
"You come from that place?"
Sword Douluo's expression changed. No one understood those wings better than he—his father had once been defeated by someone from that lineage.
"No, wait, your wings aren't right. Why do you have four pairs of wings? You're not a Six-winged Angel, you're an Eight-winged Angel?!"
Qian Renxue did not directly respond to Sword Douluo's questions. Why bother with so many details? He just wanted to fight.
"Sword Douluo, are we fighting or not? If not, I'm leaving!"
After saying this, Qian Renxue made as if to turn and leave. Sword Douluo, who valued the sword above all else, could never let go of such a worthy opponent.
"Let's fight!"
At that moment, Sword Douluo's soul rings began to glow. The first ring illuminated, and the Seven Killing Sword in his hand suddenly blazed with light. Powerful sword energy enveloped the blade, enhancing his attack power significantly.
"First Soul Skill, Long Sword Outburst!"
Although this was a yellow soul ring, it was one of Sword Douluo's few auxiliary skills. Had Ning Fengzhi been present, he wouldn't need to use it, but now that Ning Fengzhi was absent, he had no choice but to employ this ancient soul skill.
Qian Renxue also quietly released his domain. The Angel's Domain granted a significant boost to his abilities.
With an overall 30% attribute increase, the divine energy carried the effects of purification and dissolution, as well as a slight reduction in the opponent's perception, all enhanced by the Sacred Sword given to him during his Angel God's trials.
Although this wasn't the full power of his Angel Domain, in the realm of Title Douluo, this was already incredibly formidable!
"Domain?!"
Sword Douluo's expression grew serious, not daring to underestimate the young man before him. He released his Seven Killing Domain as well, attempting to counteract the effects of Qian Renxue's domain.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Killing Aura Revealed!"
A sharp sword blade shot toward Qian Renxue, cutting through the air with a deafening sound. It seemed as though nothing in the world could stop this blade.
Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed, and a ball of flame appeared in his hand, quickly condensing into a long sword. He shot it toward Sword Douluo's direction.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Sacred Sword!"
This move was a direct counter!
Qian Renxue was determined to see whose sword was stronger—his or Sword Douluo's!
Qian Renxue had a significant advantage. After all, this was the Sacred Sword of the Angel God, and within the Angel Domain, this sword's strength was at least three times more powerful!
As expected, when the two long swords clashed, Qian Renxue's Sacred Sword shone brilliantly, not only breaking through Sword Douluo's fourth soul skill but also transforming into a killing move, heading straight toward Sword Douluo.
Sword Douluo's expression changed, and two black soul rings appeared around him, making his aura even stronger.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Killing True Body!"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Move Mountains and Fill Seas!"
Sword Douluo's aura intensified. The killing intent around him grew sharper as he became one with his sword, creating twelve sword shadows that charged toward Qian Renxue's Sacred Sword. Under Sword Douluo's enhancement, only three of these swords broke through Qian Renxue's attack.
The remaining nine swords flew toward Qian Renxue, but he remained calm. Countless divine energies gathered in front of him, slowly forming a small vortex that devoured all nine swords.
This wasn't a soul skill—just a demonstration of Qian Renxue's understanding of the Angel Domain. He had developed it when he absorbed two Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Sword Douluo saw his attacks easily neutralized and lowered his head, speaking gravely, "Kid, be careful!"
"If you can block this attack, I'll admit defeat!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, God and Demon Dual Slash!"
Qian Renxue's expression changed. Was he playing around with sand here?!
This was a life-risking move. Once Sword Douluo used this skill, if he didn't win, it would mean he had lost. After all, this was a finishing move, and it would exhaust all of Sword Douluo's soul power and mental strength, transforming him into a sword that would strike directly.
When Sword Douluo had just become a Title Douluo, he used this move to kill another Title Douluo of the same rank. The power of this move was unimaginable.
Flying up into the sky at that moment, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, upon seeing the move, quickly darted back down toward the ground.
"What the heck?! He's using a life-risking move right away. What kind of grudge do these two have?"
"Did he sleep with Sword Douluo's wife or something?"
Qian Renxue also didn't dare to underestimate this attack. Even Bibi Dong had once dared to wield a sword with such a dangerous move. If Qian Renxue were careless, he could very well be caught off guard.
As the eighth soul ring around him glowed, a massive angelic figure appeared behind him, and golden divine power condensed into an enormous Angel Sword.
This sword flew toward Chen Xin, fully blocking his God and Demon Dual Slash!
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo, having returned to the Lantern Festival in Tiandou City, quietly appeared by Ning Fengzhi's side. After all, the aerial battle was something that was far beyond his ability to observe.
"Who's that person up there? Why are they fighting for their lives with Sword Douluo?"
"Xue Qinghe" nodded slightly. Though Poison Douluo Dugu Bo wasn't highly ranked among the Title Douluos, he was still an honored guest of the Tiandou Empire.
As the Crown Prince, "Xue Qinghe" naturally had to show respect.
Ning Fengzhi gently shook his head, his gaze turning toward "Xue Qinghe."
"Fighting for their lives?"
"That shouldn't be the case. They're just exchanging a few moves. It shouldn't be too excessive!"
"Xue Qinghe" nodded in agreement. After all, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo were known as the "Pillars of Heaven" and the "Golden Pillars" of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
If the Pillars of Heaven were in mortal danger, Ning Fengzhi would not sit idly by.
These were invaluable treasures to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, hearing this, couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "Exchanging a few moves? He's using life-threatening soul skills already. I'd be struck down just by being near them."
"Exchanging moves?!"
