A moment later, Qian Renxue returned.
Her expression was grave. "I've already brought Chen Xin to the imperial study."
"Good." Jiang Chen stood up.
"Be careful in everything." Qian Renxue reminded him.
In her view, attempting to assassinate a ninety-seventh-level Title Douluo face-to-face was no different from seeking death.
If Jiang Chen leaked even the slightest trace of killing intent, it would be detected.
"Don't worry. He is no longer a peak ninety-seventh-level Title Douluo. With his internal injuries and poisoning, his strength is probably not even as good as an ordinary Title Douluo now." Jiang Chen smiled quite relaxedly.
He had to appear relaxed, otherwise, Qian Renxue would worry even more.
The grave look on Qian Renxue's face eased slightly.
After the two approached the imperial study, they stopped speaking. Their expressions returned to normal, showing no signs of anything unusual.
Jiang Chen had lived with Qian Renxue for a long time and knew Xue Qinghe extremely well. At this moment, disguised as Xue Qinghe, even Qian Renxue could not find the slightest flaw.
There was no way Chen Xin could suspect Jiang Chen from his speech or behavior.
At the entrance of the imperial study, Qian Renxue stopped and watched Jiang Chen enter.
Once Jiang Chen entered the study, he saw Chen Xin pacing back and forth with a somewhat pale face.
A young maid had already served tea, but Chen Xin had not taken a single sip, which showed the anxiety in his heart.
Gu Rong had a tough life and would not die so easily, but Ning Fengzhi was not necessarily the same.
Chen Xin understood how terrifying that poison was. Moreover, Ning Fengzhi's meridians had been almost completely destroyed. Whether he could survive today was still uncertain.
He and Ning Fengzhi had decades of friendship; how could he bear to watch Ning Fengzhi die?
Footsteps sounded. Chen Xin looked up and immediately saw the Heaven Dou Emperor, Xue Qinghe, walking in.
Joy appeared in his heart, and he quickly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, something major has happened." Chen Xin spoke urgently.
In the past, he had always addressed Xue Qinghe directly by name, but this time he was asking for help and had to lower his posture slightly.
Xue Qinghe frowned. "Elder Sword, what exactly happened to make even you so tense?"
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School has been wiped out." Chen Xin sighed.
Shock appeared on Xue Qinghe's face. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xin's arms, asking anxiously, "Who did this? What about my teacher? Is he still alive?"
Seeing Xue Qinghe's anxious appearance, Chen Xin felt somewhat comforted, thinking that Ning Fengzhi had indeed taken in a good disciple.
He explained, "It was done by the Spirit Hall. Fengzhi is still alive, but he is already in critical condition and could die at any moment…"
Xue Qinghe's face first showed shock, then became even more anxious.
"What is my teacher's current condition? Where is he? If a healing Soul Master is needed, I will dispatch one immediately."
"He is currently inside Shrek Academy. Flender, Grandmaster, and Liu Erlong are there. The three of them can use their Martial Soul Fusion technique to withstand a Title Douluo, so it is relatively safe for now."
Xue Qinghe breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Elder Sword, you are a ninety-sixth-level Title Douluo with powerful strength. I estimate those thieves from the Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to act recklessly in Heaven Dou City."
Chen Xin smiled bitterly. "Right now, probably any Title Douluo that comes could kill me."
Xue Qinghe was greatly alarmed and quickly asked, "How could that be? Did even someone of your strength suffer heavy injuries?"
Chen Xin nodded, his voice bitter. "We were surrounded and attacked by five Title Douluos. I suffered severe injuries, and there is a deadly poison in my body. Although I have temporarily suppressed it, it could erupt at any moment… Ugh!"
As soon as Chen Xin finished speaking, he felt a tearing pain in his abdomen. Looking down, he saw that Xue Qinghe's entire right hand had already pierced into his abdomen.
The dantian was the place where soul power was stored. Now that it had been breached, the vast soul power in Chen Xin's body began to dissipate, leaking out from all parts of his body.
Jiang Chen injected the most violent corpse poison into him, instantly withdrew his hand, and quickly retreated.
Because of the soul power dissipation and the suddenness of the event, Chen Xin's mind went blank for a moment. By the time he released his Martial Soul, Jiang Chen was already more than ten meters away.
Seeing that Chen Xin had already released his Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, Jiang Chen's heart jumped. Although Chen Xin's strength was greatly reduced, like a beast on the brink of death, he might still erupt with astonishing power.
The Zombie Domain was immediately released by him, descending upon Chen Xin. He opened his mouth and sucked, and the blood in Chen Xin's body surged out like a fountain, flying across more than ten meters through the air and into Jiang Chen's mouth.
In just an instant, more than half of the blood in Chen Xin's body was lost. His entire person shriveled up as if dehydrated.
The Seven Kill Sword he had just raised fell powerlessly, finally propping itself on the ground. His whole body knelt on one knee.
Qian Renxue rushed in at this moment, standing behind Jiang Chen and watching Chen Xin vigilantly.
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It had gone smoothly without any major incidents. Chen Xin was no longer a threat.
He increased the suction force, and the blood in Chen Xin's body was drained in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Chen Xin's shriveled appearance was almost the same as Gu Rong's. There was not a single drop of blood left in his body.
His soul power had also gradually dissipated completely, and with the eruption of the terrifying corpse poison, the Seven Kill Sword had already disappeared.
At this moment, his heart was filled with shock, confusion, and fear…
"Why?" He knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse and weak as he questioned Jiang Chen.
The gaze in those eyes was as sharp as a sword, wishing it could pierce through Xue Qinghe before him.
Jiang Chen wiped the corner of his mouth and gave a sinister smile. His face began to change, finally returning to his original appearance.
"I understand… So… the imperial family has also fallen to your poison." Chen Xin was now filled with utter despair.
Jiang Chen stepped forward a few steps and said coldly, "You understood a little too late. If you hadn't harbored thoughts of opposing the Spirit Hall, how could you have ended up like this today?"
Chen Xin's breathing grew weaker and weaker. If it were another Title Douluo, he would probably have died long ago, but it seemed a thread of obsession was still supporting him, refusing to let him close his eyes.
In a pleading tone, he said, "Jiang Chen, Holy Son, I know that Fengzhi and Gu Rong will certainly not escape death either, but Rongrong is innocent. I beg you to spare her life."
As he spoke, he used his remaining strength to kowtow on the ground.
After this kowtow, he could no longer get up. He no longer had even a trace of strength left.
"Please spare her life." Chen Xin let out a final roar with his life.
As his words fell, Chen Xin's life aura dissipated. The world-renowned Sword Douluo passed away from this world.
Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue were moved, touched by Chen Xin's final obsession.
"Senior Sword Douluo, rest assured. I will spare her this time." Jiang Chen murmured.
He would not kill Ning Rongrong this time, but if Ning Rongrong dared to oppose him in the future, he would absolutely not show mercy.
Qian Renxue opened her mouth but said nothing.
Jiang Chen released his Martial Soul. The sixth soul ring on his body lit up, and a beam of light shot out from the soul ring, landing on Chen Xin.
Chen Xin's corpse actually floated up eerily, shrinking as it flew toward Jiang Chen, and was finally absorbed into his sixth soul ring.
His sixth soul skill was called Corpse Refining. The stronger the corpse was in life, the stronger the power it could display after being refined.
The longer it was refined, the stronger it would become.
Sword Douluo was an admirable opponent. His fame should not disappear from the Douluo Continent just like that.
In the future, he would become one of Jiang Chen's strongest guardians.
Qian Renxue sighed. "Senior Sword Douluo is admirable. It's a pity he chose the wrong side."
Then, she looked at Jiang Chen. "What about Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong? How do you plan to deal with them?"
Jiang Chen smiled. "The most troublesome Chen Xin has already been dealt with. The remaining two will be simple. I'll wait outside Shrek Academy for the right moment. You can wait in the palace for my good news."
Qian Renxue nodded. With Chen Xin dead, she no longer had any worries in her heart.
