Chapter 148: Chen Xin Falls
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, high in the sky!
Chen Xin’s expression was sorrowful as past events flashed through his mind one by one—the carefree conversations with Ning Fengzhi, the laughter and scolding with Gu Rong. Following the deaths of Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong in battle, these had become Chen Xin’s most precious memories.
He raised his left hand, and the Seven Kill Sword in the distance seemed to receive a summons. It traced a white arc through the sky, flew back to Chen Xin’s side, and he grabbed it firmly in his hand.
Gripping the Seven Kill Sword, the Aura erupting from Chen Xin’s body grew increasingly intense. His Sword Intent rang out, and his Sword Qi was frigid and sharp, as if it wanted to pierce a hole through the sky.
He murmured softly: "Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, if you haven’t gone too far, please bless me with your Spirits in heaven!"
"I will definitely avenge you. Even if the price is my life, I will not hesitate!"
"Kill!!!"
As Chen Xin finished speaking, he let out a roar. The Killing Intent and Sword Qi all over his body climbed to their peak, and the spirit power inside his body surged wildly, like a rolling torrent.
With a heart set on death, Chen Xin completely broke the shackles of the past. If he did not die after this battle, he might have been able to break his limit, advancing from Rank 96 spirit power to Rank 97 spirit power.
In the next instant, Chen Xin’s figure flashed out, streaking across the sky like a flying rainbow, brilliant and shocking.
Watching Lu Chen grow larger in his field of vision, Chen Xin’s expression was cold. He swung his sword with his left hand to strike, but without a doubt, it missed, and both he and the sword passed straight through Lu Chen’s body.
This feeling of striking a phantom with a sword, unable to exert one’s strength, was undoubtedly the cruelest torture for Chen Xin, who wanted to kill Lu Chen.
He turned around and looked at Lu Chen, who had also turned around. Lu Chen’s expression remained calm, as if he were mocking his helplessness.
Chen Xin gritted his teeth and continued to swing his sword, launching a storm-like offensive against Lu Chen, but every sword strike passed through Lu Chen’s body, causing no effective damage.
Chen Xin’s emotions grew increasingly agitated, but he forced himself to calm down. While swinging his sword, he used words to provoke Lu Chen: "It is a pity, a tragedy, a lamentable thing. A possessor of twin spirits, facing a disabled old man like me who has lost an arm, only dares to hide in the Void Realm."
"Do you not feel ashamed? If you have the guts, come out of the Void Realm and let us have a fair fight!"
Lu Chen was no greenhorn; he naturally knew this was Chen Xin’s provocation, but he no longer cared whether he fell for it or not.
Even if he stood still and let Chen Xin slash at him, Chen Xin might not be able to kill him.
This was the absolute confidence brought to Lu Chen by the extreme life attributes of his Divine Rank Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.
Lu Chen chuckled and said: "Then as you wish. Chen Xin, known as having the number one attack power on the continent, let me see exactly how strong your attack power is!"
As soon as these words were spoken, ripples of space undulated around Lu Chen’s body. As the spatial ripples spread, his body stepped out of the void space.
Facing the sword strike Chen Xin swung over, Lu Chen raised his right hand with lightning speed and blocked the sword with his Dark Gold Terrorclaw.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out in mid-air.
The Seven Kill Sword was indeed sharp and difficult to block, but upon encountering the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, it could at most leave a white mark on it.
Although he didn’t injure Lu Chen, an expression of immense joy appeared on Chen Xin’s face.
He had hit!
This time, Lu Chen was not an illusion!
Lu Chen had really walked out of the Void Realm!
Chen Xin was incredibly excited, even laughing maniacally: "Hahaha, good, good! Since you want to experience my number one attack power on the continent, then I certainly cannot disappoint you!"
As his voice fell, Chen Xin instantly retreated a hundred meters.
He threw the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, and his Seventh Spirit Ring and Ninth spirit ring shone simultaneously: "Seven Kill Domain!"
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Seven Kill True Body!"
"Ninth Spirit Ability, God and Demon Two Slashes!"
Black and white light erupted from Chen Xin’s body. Black Sword Qi and white Killing Intent poured into the Seven Kill Sword, causing it to tremble slightly, raising its attack power to the extreme.
With the activation of the Seven Kill True Body, the Seven Kill Sword suddenly expanded, rapidly enlarging proportionally, stretching across the entire sky and transforming into a giant sword forty meters in size.
When the effect of God and Demon Two Slashes activated, the Seven Kill Sword, which had already turned into a forty-meter giant sword, let out a resounding sword cry. Countless Sword Qi erupted, and within just a few breaths, a giant sword phantom of a hundred meters in size condensed.
This hundred-meter giant sword phantom almost exhausted all of the spirit power of Chen Xin, a Rank 96 Titled Douluo. It was his strongest strike; as long as it hit an enemy head-on, it was enough to kill any Titled Douluo of the same Rank.
Chen Xin’s face was deathly pale. With very little spirit power left in his body, he could no longer seal the Acupoints of his right arm, and blood began to seep out from the spot where his right arm had been severed once more.
But Chen Xin could no longer care about such things!
He only wanted to avenge Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong!
Chen Xin brought his left hand fingers together into a sword gesture, pointing at Lu Chen’s position and said: "Go!"
In an instant, that hundred-meter giant sword phantom descended toward Lu Chen’s position, stirring up ripples of air currents that spread outwards.
The extremely sharp and frigid Sword Qi, though it hadn’t yet landed on Lu Chen, already made his whole body feel cold.
Lu Chen looked up at the descending giant sword. Since he had already walked out of the void space, there was no need for him to go back.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Substitute Blue Silver Emperor!"
As the Eighth spirit ring lit up, his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul bloomed with light, quickly differentiating a palm-sized, miniature Blue Silver Emperor.
Lu Chen extended his palm, grabbed the miniature Blue Silver Emperor, connected his Qi to it, and then looked at Chen Xin with a playful gaze.
His life-saving methods were far more than just the ability to turn intangible.
To want to kill Lu Chen under his arsenal of life-saving methods, unless a Divinity from the God Realm personally intervened.
Otherwise, on the Douluo Continent, no one could kill Lu Chen.
Lu Chen wanted to make Chen Xin despair. He wanted to let Chen Xin see with his own eyes that the strongest attack he launched couldn’t even hurt him in the slightest.
A moment later, the hundred-meter giant sword descended from the sky with the power to tear everything apart, landing on Lu Chen’s body and slamming him down toward the ground.
Lu Chen only lasted for ten breaths of time before the sharp Sword Qi of the giant sword finally tore his body apart, nearly cutting him in half at the waist.
Even Lu Chen’s body, which surpassed that of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, could not withstand this terrifying sword strike from Chen Xin. As the Titled Douluo with the number one attack power on the continent, Chen Xin was indeed terrifyingly strong.
Seeing Lu Chen successfully "killed" by him!
Chen Xin wept, his old tears streaming down. The faces of Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong flashed through his mind continuously. He shouted excitedly: "Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, do you see? I have finally avenged you!"
However, at this moment, Lu Chen’s faint voice came over: "Chen Xin, you seem to be happy too soon."
Just at the spot where Lu Chen had originally stood, the space suddenly twisted, making one’s vision blurry. As the twisted space returned to normal, Lu Chen was standing there, completely unharmed.
In his hand, a torn and tattered Substitute Blue Silver Emperor drifted toward the ground with the wind.
Chen Xin watched with wide eyes, his eyes full of disbelief. His strongest strike, which had exhausted his spirit power, had only managed to tear Lu Chen’s body apart, yet he had instantly returned to his original state.
Chen Xin’s mentality shattered, his expression dazed: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"You didn’t hide in the Void Realm again. I saw your body shatter with my own eyes. How could you possibly still be alive?!"
Lu Chen did not explain to Chen Xin: "As expected of the Sword Douluo with the number one attack power on the continent. If one were to take this sword strike head-on, even a 100,000-year Spirit Beast would likely not be able to withstand the power of this sword!"
"That was your turn, now it is my turn!"
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw, Spirit Ability Mode!"
Lu Chen extended the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, and his spirit power poured into it continuously, causing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw to bloom with a dark gold luster.
When the power had accumulated to its peak, Lu Chen swung the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, immediately striking out a dark gold claw mark, blasting it toward Chen Xin.
Chen Xin’s spirit power was exhausted; he had no extra strength left to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as that dark gold claw mark, carrying the terrifying power to tear everything apart, slammed into his body.
Chen Xin’s body was torn apart. Intense pain came from all over his body, like waves, impacting his brain wave after wave.
Feeling the passing of life within his body, a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, although I couldn’t avenge you, I have come to keep you company..."
As his voice fell, Chen Xin’s vision went black, and his life ended there.
