Chapter 63: The Battle Between Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo
In the forest!
Tens of thousands of Seven Kill Swords descended from the sky like a torrential downpour, tearing apart everything in their path.
In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming Seven Kill Swords had already pierced toward the hiding spot of Lu Chen, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan.
Fortunately, Lu Chen had prepared in advance, casting Blue Silver Protection ahead of time to raise a blue barrier half a foot thick in front of them.
The sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword was indeed difficult to block; with a sharp crack, the first Seven Kill Sword pierced deep into the blue barrier.
Then came the second, the third... in just three breaths of time, at least a hundred Seven Kill Swords had pierced the blue barrier from every angle.
Crack! Crack!
The blue barrier, unable to bear the weight, shattered with fine, spiderweb-like cracks, clearly on the verge of collapsing.
Seeing this, Lu Chen, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan quickly flashed away from the location.
The next instant, the blue barrier completely shattered, and the spot where Lu Chen, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan had originally stood was now filled with Seven Kill Swords.
If they hadn’t dodged in time, they would surely have been minced into meat paste by the Seven Kill Swords by now.
Seeing this from afar, Lu Chen exclaimed in astonishment, "What a terrifying attack! This Seven Kill Sword Spirit is truly worthy of being called the Spirit with the number one attack power on the continent!"
Dugu Bo’s muscles were tense, his face showing a hint of eagerness. He summoned his Spirit Possession, and nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—rose up beneath his feet.
He spoke with an excited tone, "Lan Chen, give me a boost, and take good care of Yan Yan. I’m going to go have a go at this Chen Xin!"
"In the past, with my level 91 spirit power, I always had to retreat whenever I faced Chen Xin. This is a good opportunity to let me see the gap between myself and Chen Xin!"
Lu Chen nodded in agreement. Constantly hiding was indeed not a solution; when it was time to retaliate, one had to retaliate.
Otherwise, others would always think they were easy to bully.
"Group Blue Silver Blessing!"
Lu Chen cast Group Blue Silver Blessing. All the Blue Silver Emperors in this forest radiated light, gathering a massive amount of life force and pouring it into Dugu Bo’s body.
Boom!
A terrifying Aura erupted from within Dugu Bo’s body. That tangible, terrifying pressure formed ripples of energy that spread outward with Dugu Bo as the center.
Unfortunately, in this forest, neither the quantity nor the quality of the Blue Silver Grass compared to the Blue Silver Forest, so the all-attribute boost effect of the Group Blue Silver Blessing was only 200%.
But this was enough!
Although Dugu Bo only had level 93 spirit power, under the 200% all-attribute boost, his Aura was completely on par with Chen Xin’s.
Dugu Bo instantly soared into the air, flying to a height of about fifty meters above the ground. This was roughly the limit of the Blue Silver Domain; any higher and he would be out of range. He spoke loudly, "Chen Xin, they all say you are the Titled Douluo with the number one attack power on the continent. Today, let me have a go at you. Let’s fight in the sky!"
Seeing Dugu Bo take to the air, Chen Xin looked back at Ning Fengzhi and saw him nod.
Chen Xin then walked through the air, flying to the same height as Dugu Bo in the blink of an eye. With one hand behind his back and the other holding his sword, his eyes sharp as a hawk’s, he stared intently at the Dugu Bo opposite him. "Dugu Bo, you truly surprise me now!"
"According to the information I have, your spirit power should only be level 91. Now it seems your spirit power is far beyond level 91!"
"And your current Aura is actually on par with mine. I am quite curious: what kind of terrifying boosting Spirit Ability could forcibly elevate you to the same level as me!"
This was a very cutting remark, clearly implying that if it weren’t for Lan Chen’s boost, Dugu Bo would have no qualifications to be mentioned in the same breath as Chen Xin.
Chen Xin indeed had the ability to be proud, if not for the fact that his Seven Kill Domain was needed to counteract the suppression of the Blue Silver Domain.
With just the Seven Kill Domain alone, Chen Xin could suppress Dugu Bo in every aspect.
As Titled Douluos, having a Domain ability or not having one made a world of difference.
Dugu Bo stared at Chen Xin with gloomy eyes, speaking with a forced smile, "What a Chen Xin, what a Sword Douluo. Your words are certainly tough. Every word you say shows you don’t take me seriously at all."
"Today, I will prove to you that I am no longer the person I used to be."
"First Spirit Ability, Jade Phosphor Poison Fire!"
Spirit Abilities over ten thousand years old were all life-or-death killing moves; even a Titled Douluo would not start a fight by using their killing moves.
Therefore, battles between Titled Douluos began with century-level or millennium-level Spirit Abilities to probe and look for weaknesses.
With a wave of his hand, Dugu Bo condensed dozens of jade-green flames, glowing green like will-o’-the-wisps.
Under his control, these dozens of jade-green flames smashed toward Chen Xin in unison.
Seeing this, Chen Xin did not dodge or evade. He raised his left hand, brought his fingers together into a sword gesture, and tapped his Seven Kill Sword. "Second Spirit Ability, Spirit Sword Protection!"
In an instant, the Seven Kill Sword poured out a massive amount of Sword Qi, which surrounded Chen Xin’s body, forming a spherical protective shield.
The smashing jade-green flames were all blocked by the spherical shield; a mere century-level Spirit Ability could not harm Chen Xin in the slightest.
The next moment, Chen Xin lifted his foot, and his figure flashed out rapidly. With the 80% agility boost given by Ning Fengzhi, his movement speed was shockingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Dugu Bo.
"First Spirit Ability, Long Sword Sharpens!"
Chen Xin swung his sword to strike. Under the 30% attack boost, his Seven Kill Sword flashed with a chilling light, making Dugu Bo feel a chill run through his entire body.
Dugu Bo retreated rapidly, dodging the incoming sword blade, while simultaneously making a quick response. "Second Spirit Ability, Red-Refined Iron Python Constriction!"
He spread his arms, and his hands rapidly transformed, manifesting two Red-Refined Iron Pythons with gaping, bloodthirsty maws.
The bodies of the Red-Refined Iron Pythons were harder than steel, and their venom could take a person’s life in just a few breaths.
Dugu Bo revealed a vicious smile. The two Red-Refined Iron Pythons manifested by his hands bypassed the blade of the Seven Kill Sword, one biting toward Chen Xin’s wrist, the other toward Chen Xin’s neck.
Now it was up to Chen Xin to choose whether to protect his wrist or his neck.
Chen Xin’s gaze was like lightning. Faced with these two choices, he actually made a third choice.
He abandoned his sword!
Chen Xin’s palm released the hilt of the Seven Kill Sword. Facing the two Red-Refined Iron Pythons biting from left and right, his figure retreated rapidly.
"Third Spirit Ability, Sword Wings Fly!"
In an instant, the Seven Kill Sword, released from the hilt, trembled. Then, without anyone holding it, it slashed first at the Red-Refined Iron Python on the left, then at the Red-Refined Iron Python on the right.
The sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword was indeed difficult to block; both Red-Refined Iron Pythons had their heads severed by the Seven Kill Sword and dissipated into a cloud of smoke.
Dugu Bo gasped in pain. With the Red-Refined Iron Pythons severed one by one, his hands returned to their original form.
Facing the Seven Kill Sword with its blade aimed at him once again, Dugu Bo had no choice but to temporarily avoid its edge. "Fourth Spirit Ability, Jade Phosphor Bewitching Array!" "Third Spirit Ability, Corrosive Black Witch Snake!"
In an instant, a large amount of jade-green poisonous mist permeated from beneath Dugu Bo’s robes. The poisonous mist spread rapidly, not only obscuring people’s vision but even preventing mental force from penetrating this layer of mist.
Chen Xin controlled the Seven Kill Sword from a distance, hacking wildly, but unfortunately, he did not strike Dugu Bo.
Just then, a black giant python, fully over eight meters long, opened a bloodthirsty maw that exuded a foul stench and bit toward Chen Xin’s position.
Seeing this, Chen Xin flicked his finger. Immediately, the Seven Kill Sword flew out from the poisonous mist, striking after but arriving first, quickly catching up to the eight-meter-long black giant python.
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Sword Shadows Layered!"
In an instant, countless Sword Qi erupted from the Seven Kill Sword, forming a vortex of Sword Qi that engulfed the black giant python, tearing it to shreds in a moment.
Throughout the entire exchange just now, although the time was not very long, both sides had used multiple Spirit Abilities.
The two went back and forth, fighting to a standstill!
Without using ten-thousand-year Spirit Abilities, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo, these two Titled Douluos, truly couldn’t defeat one another...
