Chapter 144: Chen Xin’s Severed Arm
Ning Fengzhi’s expression was dull; Chen Xin and Gu Rong were also too shocked to speak.
The shock Lu Chen had brought them was too great.
Thinking about Lu Chen’s Cultivate speed, why it was so fast, and how he could Breakthrough to Titled Douluo in just a few short years—that no longer had any meaning!
The talent Lu Chen displayed made even Ning Fengzhi feel terrified.
He had never regretted his attempt to intercept Lu Chen; he only regretted not acting sooner, which allowed Lu Chen to live until now and become a major threat to them.
Ning Fengzhi’s originally gentle and refined face was now left with only a sinister, predatory look. The killing intent in his heart had never been as intense as it was now.
If gazes could kill, Lu Chen would have already been torn to pieces.
Ning Fengzhi instantly summoned his Spirit. A seven-story Seven Treasure Glazed Tile pagoda condensed out of thin air before him. The pagoda bloomed with seven-colored light, emitting an incomparable Aura of nobility and treasure.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—a total of seven spirit rings rose beneath his feet.
The next instant, all seven spirit rings flashed simultaneously:
"Seventh Spirit Ability: Seven Treasures True Body!"
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile has a name, the first is Power!"
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile has a name, the second is Agility!"
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile has a name, the third is Spirit!"
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile has a name, the fourth is Defense!"
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile has a name, the fifth is Attack!"
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile has a name, the sixth is Attribute!"
Ning Fengzhi activated his Martial Soul Avatar immediately; his own spirit power consumption was reduced by 50%, and his first six amplification skills were boosted by 50%.
Among them, the 120% Power amplification, 120% spirit power amplification, and 120% Defense amplification were all cast upon Gu Rong.
In addition, the 120% Agility amplification, 120% Attack amplification, and 120% Attribute amplification were all cast upon Chen Xin.
Ning Fengzhi’s voice revealed incomparable determination:
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, kill him! We must kill him today!"
"He possesses the talent of twin spirits, and his Second Martial Soul has only had three spirit rings added to it. This is our best chance to kill him!"
"Once he adds the remaining six spirit rings, even if they are all ten-thousand-year spirit ring, he will be beyond our ability to deal with. If he adds even a few more Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be completely finished!"
Clang! Clang!
Under Ning Fengzhi’s full amplification, a clanging Sword Intent erupted from Chen Xin, and the sharp, tangible Sword Qi shredded the white clouds in the sky into pieces.
Chen Xin’s expression was somewhat dazed. Ever since his Sword Heart had become tarnished, he had never felt his Seven Kill Sword so restless.
Relying on Ning Fengzhi’s amplification, he regained a fraction of his former feeling.
Power surged endlessly from within his body, and Chen Xin decided to fight with everything he had. After firming his resolve, his Aura surged even further.
"Good!"
"For the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, no matter what, I must leave this person behind today!"
"In all my life, I have never witnessed a true Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. To be able to see the power of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring with my own eyes is exactly what I have longed for!"
"Sixth Spirit Ability: Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
Chen Xin raised his hand and grabbed; infinite white light surged from his Dantian, rapidly converging in his palm. Soon, a two-meter-large silver-white giant sword condensed.
It was none other than his Spirit, the Seven Kill Sword, known as having the number one attack power on the continent!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—the nine spirit rings with the optimal configuration rose from beneath Chen Xin’s feet.
As the sixth spirit ring flashed!
Chen Xin held the Seven Kill Sword high, and as his spirit power poured into it endlessly, a loud, clear sword hum instantly rang out from the Seven Kill Sword.
Then, one after another, Seven Kill Swords condensed in the sky. These Seven Kill Swords possessed a transparent texture; they were all condensed from spirit power.
Although the attack power of these spirit power-condensed Seven Kill Swords was only 70% of the original, the quantity of these Seven Kill Swords was simply outrageously high.
Tens of thousands of Seven Kill Swords filled the entire sky, and the sharp Sword Intent they emitted was enough to make anyone feel a chill run through their entire body.
Every time Lu Chen saw this ability, he couldn’t help but feel amazed.
The quality of the Seven Kill Sword Spirit was among the best of the top-tier Spirits; a casual ten-thousand-year spirit ring ability could actually create such a massive commotion.
Yet, facing the threat of these tens of thousands of Seven Kill Swords, he seemed as if he had been frightened silly, making no response whatsoever.
In reality, he had used the skill of the Void Mantis Spirit Bone. Etherealization!
In the space around Lu Chen’s body, ripples invisible to the naked eye undulated, as if opening the door to another dimension, taking Lu Chen’s body away from the current world and into the Void Realm.
The next instant, as Chen Xin swung his sword forward, the tens of thousands of Seven Kill Swords covered the sky, surging forward like a torrent, piercing toward Lu Chen’s position.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Seven Kill Swords tore through the air, emitting sharp hissing sounds, and in the blink of an eye, they flew right in front of Lu Chen.
Seeing that Lu Chen did not make any dodging movements, Chen Xin felt extremely puzzled. He knew the power of his Myriad Swords Return to Origin very clearly.
Even if Lu Chen possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, he shouldn’t be so lax.
But soon, he discovered something was wrong!
He saw the first Seven Kill Sword pass directly through Lu Chen’s body, as if that body were merely a phantom, without substance.
Subsequently, one after another, the Seven Kill Swords all passed through Lu Chen’s body, yet they caused no harm to the opponent.
Chen Xin was stunned; this Myriad Swords Return to Origin, which had consumed 30% of his spirit power, had actually failed to produce any effect.
"How is this possible? Could Lan Chen have hidden long ago, and what is left here is merely an illusion?"
Chen Xin looked around vigilantly, attempting to find the location of Lu Chen’s true body.
Meanwhile, Gu Rong, who was guarding Ning Fengzhi, sensed a familiar power. He immediately reminded Chen Xin: "Chen Xin, that is space power! Lan Chen used space power to evade the damage from your Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
At the same time, Lu Chen grinned. Letting the countless Seven Kill Swords pass through his body, he gripped the Black Iron Sickle tightly and flew toward Chen Xin’s position.
Like Teleportation, in just a few blinks of an eye, Lu Chen had already approached Chen Xin’s position.
After receiving Gu Rong’s reminder, Chen Xin braced himself with full alertness. Facing the rushing Lu Chen, his fifth spirit ring lit up, and he swung the Seven Kill Sword in a horizontal slash.
"Majesty Shaking All Directions!"
In an instant, powerful Sword Qi shot out from the Seven Kill Sword, sweeping forward in all directions, pointing directly at the incoming Lu Chen.
However, just like before, the powerful Sword Qi passed directly through Lu Chen’s body, causing no harm to him.
Facing such a bizarre scene, Chen Xin furrowed his brows tightly.
The powerful Sword Qi of his Majesty Shaking All Directions Spirit Ability inherently carried a knockback effect, yet now, it all passed through Lu Chen’s body.
This made Chen Xin certain that the Lu Chen before him was one-hundred-percent an illusion.
Therefore, in the next moment, when faced with Lu Chen swinging the Black Iron Sickle toward his body, Chen Xin did not dodge; he merely instinctively placed the Seven Kill Sword in front of himself to block.
Just as expected, the moment his Seven Kill Sword collided with the black scythe, his Seven Kill Sword felt no resistance at all and passed right through the black scythe.
This caused Chen Xin to relax slightly...
What he never expected was that the black scythe, which had been merely a phantom, suddenly turned from ethereal to physical the moment it struck his body. With a "crack," Chen Xin’s right arm, which was holding the Seven Kill Sword, was severed at the root by the Black Iron Sickle.
Blood sprayed like a fountain. Intense pain assaulted Chen Xin’s brain, leaving him with an expression of disbelief while he let out a muffled groan and his figure instantly retreated rapidly.
Chen Xin retreated dozens of meters away. Using his remaining left hand, he covered the wound on his right arm and circulated his spirit power to seal the Acupoints on his right arm, preventing the blood from gushing out like a fountain.
After stopping the bleeding with his spirit power, Chen Xin looked at his severed arm, then at Lu Chen in front of him, having roughly guessed Lu Chen’s ability. He spoke with a deathly pale face:
"What a bizarre space power. Whether it is physical or an illusion, it is almost entirely up to your whim. You can switch to physical when you want, and switch to an illusion when you want!"
"I did not see your spirit ring shine, so this must be your Spirit Bone ability. No wonder you dared to come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to run wild after having only absorbed three spirit rings; you were certain that we would have no way to deal with you!"
Having severed one of Chen Xin’s arms, Lu Chen, along with the surrounding space ripples, entered the Void Realm once again.
He looked at Chen Xin with surprise: "As expected of a veteran powerhouse of the continent. Just one round of exchanges, and you have already seen through the essence of my Spirit Ability. But so what? Can you break it?"
