Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 277: Forest War, Sixth Soul Skill, Flying Sword Without Trace

The soul hunt continues.

Hong Tianxiang's attack had no killing effect on the 40,000-year-old ground-piercing dragon.

The ground-spinning dragon seemed to sense the weakness of its opponent, so it stretched out its body and counterattacked towards Hong Tianxiang.

"The seventh soul skill, the true body of the weapon soul."

The Changyun Stick became huge in his hand. He raised the Changyun Stick above his head and used it as a head stick to hit people.

It was quite difficult for a high-level Soul Saint to face a 40,000-year soul beast. Even with the assistance of the domain, Hong Tianxiang could only fight it to a draw in a short period of time, and the fight was hard to separate.

Ning Tianchen raised the Seven Killing Sword in his hand.

The Ground Thorn Dragon is different from other hedgehogs, as it not only has spikes on its back, but also very thick armor. However, as a variant of the hedgehog, its abdomen is as fragile as that of the hedgehog, which is also its only weakness.

While the two sides were fighting fiercely, Ning Tianchen activated his third soul skill. Under his control, the Seven Killing Swords cut through the sky like a meteor and shot towards the belly of the Ground Armor Dragon.

The sharpness of the Dragon-patterned Seven Killing Sword was evident as it left deep sword marks on the fragile belly of the Ground-armored Thorn Dragon.

Blood continued to ooze out, the Ground Thorn Dragon howled in pain, and curled up into a ball again.

Hong Tianxiang sighed and said helplessly: "This guy is too tough. My attack can't break its defense."

His Changyun Stick was considered a heavy weapon, but unfortunately, a nouveau riche like the Hong family had no foundation at all, let alone a set of systematic stick techniques.

Apart from his soul skills, Hong Tianxiang has very few means of attack.

Ning Tianchen seemed to understand why it was difficult for these small families to pass on.

Without a mature system for cultivating one's own inherited martial spirit, it would be fine if the family could pass it down to one or two generations, but after three generations, even if there are no external factors, after the family affection fades, there will inevitably be people inside who clamor for separation.

If they stick together, their power is still strong. But once they split up, they will lose their ability to resist risks and the entire family will inevitably perish.

Of course, this is not Hong Tianxiang's fault. His strength and understanding are not enough to compile stick techniques.

Without becoming a Titled Douluo, one's understanding of the martial spirit will always be limited. If the Hong family starts to train Hong Xinyue well from now on, there may be a chance to become a big family in the future.

Putting his thoughts aside, Ning Tianchen replied: "The sword I just struck has already seriously injured it. But it won't bleed to death. Master Hong, find a way to use your stick to pick it up."

Hong Tianxiang was hesitant to do so because he was worried that the ground-armored dragon would take advantage of the long cloud stick to attack him.

But there is no better way than this method at the moment.

Taking a deep breath, Hong Tianxiang made all preparations.

The sixth soul ring under his feet suddenly lit up, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura.

The long cloud stick suddenly stabbed into the ground where the ground-armored dragon was, and he put all his strength into trying to lift the opponent up.

Ning Tianchen prepared to attack.

The moment the body of the local armored dragon was lifted up, sword wings grew out from behind Ning Tianchen and he rushed forward at an accelerated speed.

When the Ground Thorn Dragon was blown into the air, the Seven Killing Swords suddenly stabbed into its abdomen.

Through the slight vibrations on the sword, Ning Tianchen could clearly feel that the sword did not pierce the internal organs of the ground-armored dragon, but only scratched its surface skin.

“What a thick skin.”

Ning Tianchen was shocked and flew into the sky without thinking too much.

The fat layer on the abdomen of the Diplodocus was cut open, and the fat inside was turned out, but it did not pose a threat to its life.

The severe pain made him become manic.

"Oh no, it's going to shoot spikes."

Hong Tianxiang has no ability to fly and cannot rush to Ning Tianchen's rescue in mid-air.

The spikes on the back of the Ground Thorn Dragon were slightly raised, and the next moment, it quickly attacked Ning Tianchen and Hong Tianxiang.

While the spikes are fired, the Geodon does not move itself.

Hong Tianxiang found a place to hide on a slope and avoided the attack of the spikes, but Ning Tianchen in mid-air was not so lucky.

Faced with the sharp thorns that were like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, he could only rely on defensive spirit skills to barely resist.

"The sword wings and sword energy barrier are almost reaching their limit." Ning Tianchen gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk.

The moment the sword energy barrier was broken, his body fell back to the ground rapidly.

The Ground Thorn Dragon had not expected his action, and all its subsequent spikes missed.

But it did not give up its desire for revenge and turned to attack Ning Tianchen.

With Ning Tianchen's current strength, the Killing God Domain is not enough to stop the opponent's actions.

"Be careful!" Hong Tianxiang warned loudly and came to support at the same time.

But his speed was obviously not as fast as that of this ground-armored thorn dragon.

If Ning Tianchen encounters an accident here, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will definitely find out that they are responsible. By then, the entire Hong family will be in big trouble.

No matter what, he had to save the other person.

……

Looking up and seeing the attacking ground-armored dragon, Ning Tianchen did not panic.

Previous attacks have proven that the Seven Killing Swords have difficulty piercing the thick skin on the abdomen of the Earth-Armored Thorn Dragon.

"Then let me show you the power of the Shura Demon Sword."

Even without the blessing of divine power, the Shura Demon Sword is still extremely sharp.

His right hand was like a sword finger, lightly touching the Shura mark between his eyebrows.

A stream of blood-red smoke flowed out from the mark and fell into Ning Tianchen's hand. The smoke condensed to form a complete Shura Demon Sword.

With two swords in hand, Ning Tianchen took the initiative to attack the opponent.

The Ground Thorn Dragon was huge in size, but it pounced towards him; Ning Tianchen fell to the ground and slid to avoid its attack.

Then he turned around quickly, crossed the two swords in his hands, and swung them violently. The blood-red and silver-white sword energy merged with each other, and the fierce sword force penetrated the entire body of the Earth-Armored Thorn Dragon.

"So strong." Ning Tianchen was shocked.

The Shura Demon Sword, driven by soul power, can actually produce such powerful sword energy.

The entire body of the ground-spining dragon was cut open, and the bloody smell spread with the wind.

Hong Tianxiang arrived late, and was shocked when he saw the blood-red sword in Ning Tianchen's hand. "What kind of weapon is this? It can easily cut through the body of the Earth Armor Thorn Dragon."

If it were him, he would probably not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded.

Ning Tianchen shook the Shura Demon Sword in his hand, and then put it into the mark between his eyebrows.

Even though he only swung the sword once, 50% of his soul power was drained away by the Shura Demon Sword.

Since there is no divine power in your body, it is better not to use the Shura Demon Sword in future battles if you can avoid it.

This time, 50% of his soul power was squeezed out. God knows whether all of his soul power will be squeezed out next time.

Of course, what surprised him was that the Shura Demon Sword could be easily activated by his soul power.

It was obvious that the Asura God had given him a backdoor. If it were a normal divine test, even if he got the divine weapon, he would probably not be able to use it without divine power.

"Mr. Hong, I got this sword by accident during an experience in an ancient monument. I didn't expect it to be so powerful." Seeing that there was no greed in the other party's eyes, he explained.

Hong Tianxiang smiled and said, "I see. There are many ancient sites on the continent that are tens of thousands of years old, or even hundreds of thousands of years old. I heard that three hundred years ago, there was an unrivaled strong man who, because of the inheritance from the ancient sites, was able to break through to the Titled Douluo level even though his innate spirit power was only at level five."

Ning Tianchen also knew this story.

Everyone knows the importance of ancient monuments, but these places are generally the places where once powerful people passed away. People without destiny will not be able to find any traces of ancient monuments even if they search the entire continent.

Not only is the location of the ancient monument hidden, but even if it can be found, there are many traps inside and one could lose his life if he is not careful.

Without asking too many questions, Hong Tianxiang immediately gathered his troops to protect Ning Tianchen.

The forty thousand year spirit ring was a huge challenge for Ning Tianchen.

Before absorbing the spirit ring, he had made almost all the plans.

……

The process of absorbing the soul ring was extremely long, from afternoon to night, and then to noon the next day, Ning Tianchen showed no sign of finishing the soul ring absorption.

"Grandpa, why does it take so long to absorb the spirit ring? Almost twelve hours have passed." Hong Xinyue asked in confusion and dissatisfaction.

Hong Tianxiang speculated that Ning Tianchen might have absorbed a soul ring of a higher level and needed to withstand more impact.

Hence the delay.

"Then can I also absorb spirit rings of higher levels?" Hong Xinyue couldn't help but ask.

It seemed that she attributed Ning Tianchen's powerful strength to his absorption of spirit rings of higher levels.

Hong Tianxiang didn't dare to let his precious granddaughter take risks, and hurriedly explained: "Xinyue, don't mess around. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect should have some secret method to ensure his success rate when absorbing spirit rings of higher levels. If you fail, grandpa can't save you."

"If you practice step by step, you can also become a strong person. When grandpa was your age, he had just broken through to the Soul Master level. You have already surpassed grandpa at the starting line. It is better not to compare yourself with the children of these big families."

After all, the soul master theories and cultivation resources mastered by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect are far beyond their reach.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were talking, a loud shout was heard.

"So you are here. I had to look for you so hard." The person who spoke was Pang Shun.

After being attacked by Hong Xinyue and her men, he fled all the way out of the city and, relying on his connections, gathered together a group of powerful men, preparing to attack the Hong family.

It’s a pity that Patriarch Hong’s illness was cured, and the strength of the high-level Soul Saint caused the makeshift team he had put together to fall apart in an instant.

Unwilling to give up, he joined a sect near Fengwu City that had a Soul Sage in charge.

Soul King-level healing soul masters are very popular in these small sects. After the sect leader heard about his experience, he decided to avenge him.

Of course, this is just an excuse. What the sect leader wants most is the Hong family's market share.

They have long been jealous of doing business with the military, such a profitable business.

"Mad Blade Sect, you actually come to get involved!" Hong Tianxiang snorted coldly.

There were more than thirty people from the Mad Blade Sect, including Peng Shun, and almost all the strong men above the Soul King level in the sect were mobilized.

On the other hand, there were only thirteen people on Hong Tianxiang's side.

Ning Tianchen was absorbing the soul ring and could not take any action for the time being. Hong Xinyue's strength was far from enough to deal with the Soul King.

In the case where he needed to divide his forces to protect two people, the number of people he could fight with was less than ten. Not to mention, the other side also had the healing spirit master Peng Shun.

Gu Ao, the leader of the Mad Blade Sect, took a step forward and said, "You old fool, your Hong family has taken so many benefits, but you only want to make money on your own. You have made it very difficult for our Mad Blade Sect."

"How about this? You take out 90% of the profits from the military horse market and give it to our Crazy Blade Sect as protection money. From now on, your business will be protected by our Crazy Blade Sect."

In such a situation, if he proposed to take 10% of the profits, on the premise of ensuring the safety of Ning Tianchen and Hong Xinyue, Hong Tianxiang might agree.

But the fact that the other party mentioned the share of Jiucheng in one go made it clear that they had no intention of negotiating and wanted to grab a piece of the cake.

Hong Tianxiang couldn't bear it anymore.

But in the current situation, they are clearly in a passive position.

They have to find a way to buy some time, and when Ning Tianchen wakes up, they can fight and retreat at the same time.

Just as he was thinking, a hand patted his arm, "Mr. Hong, it seems that there are some blind people who want to come here and die."

"It's you! Arrogant boy, the leader of the Mad Blade Sect is here, and he will make sure you're in trouble later." Peng Shunyin said fiercely.

Obviously, Ning Tianchen's previous lesson to him still bothered him.

Ning Tianchen took a step forward and said, "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you, a scum."

As he spoke, his eyes fixed on Peng Shun, and the killing field spread rapidly with his body as the center.

The God of Killing field has a built-in mental deterrent effect.

After absorbing the sixth soul ring, Ning Tianchen's soul power level reached level 62. The mental power surge brought by absorbing the soul ring greatly increased the power of the Killing God Domain.

After just one encounter, Pang Shun's spirit seemed to be completely destroyed and he became stupid.

"Damn it."

Seeing that Peng Shun was useless, the leader of the Mad Blade Sect called out his martial spirit and ended his life with one strike.

After doing all this, he did not forget to pin the murderer's hat on Ning Tianchen, "You are so young, yet you are so vicious. Boy, you will pay the price for your actions."

Hong Xinyue couldn't help but curse, "Blind Gu, do you think others are blind too? It was obviously you who killed Pang Shun."

The leader of the Mad Blade Sect, Gu Ao, was called the Blind Man. The reason for this was that he had one eye blinded in a battle when he was young.

Although he was not wearing an eye patch, he could not see with his left eye.

Ning Tianchen sneered and said, "Since you are rushing to die, you can't blame us."

As he spoke, he asked Hong Tianxiang in a low voice: "Old man, how strong are they?"

Hong Tianxiang replied in a low voice: "Gu Ao is a level 76 Battle Soul Saint. Among the remaining people, there are two Soul Emperors, and the others are Soul Kings. I can hold Gu Ao back, but I can't guarantee the others."

He is very old and cannot exert his full strength.

Facing Gu Ao, a powerful Soul Saint who was in his prime, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Ning Tianchen asked: "A battle that comes to your door, do you want to fight it?"

Hong Tianxiang affirmed: "Fight."

Since Ning Tianchen wanted to fight, then let him fight. Even if he was defeated, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Tianchen would avenge them.

"You don't know what life and death is." The leader of the Crazy Blade Sect raised the Crazy Blade Martial Spirit and took the initiative to greet Hong Tianxiang.

The martial spirits of the other members of the Mad Blade Sect are all different.

Ning Tianchen took the initiative to confront two Soul Emperors, who were elders in the Mad Blade Sect.

"If a Soul Emperor can become an elder, it seems that your Mad Blade Sect is not that great!" Ning Tianchen stepped on them imperceptibly.

In the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, except for those who have made special contributions, the outer sect elders are all Soul Sage level, and the inner sect elders are all Soul Douluo.

In the Spirit Hall, the elders must be Titled Douluo.

It is conceivable how weak the Mad Blade Sect is.

"Arrogant!" The two Soul Emperors, one on the left and one on the right, attacked from both sides.

"Cang Long Po."

The Seven Killing Sword rolled up sword energy and suddenly struck out.

The shadow of a blue dragon lingered around Ning Tianchen, and the attack from the two Soul Emperors was resolved in an instant.

"Soul Emperor!"

The two of them showed horror at the same time.

Such a young Soul Emperor is probably already better than Tang Hao back then. This boy must be from a big family.

The Mad Blade Sect was originally a loose sect. It was obviously not worth it to offend an unknown big force for the sake of a sect without cohesion.

The two looked at each other, turned around without looking back, and ran in the opposite direction.

Ning Tianchen thought this was some kind of tactic and stood alert for a long time.

It was not until he could no longer see any trace of the two that he believed that they were simply running away.

Scratching his head, he was somewhat confused about the situation.

How come these two guys just ran away out of nowhere? As Soul Emperors, they were evenly matched opponents, so they had to fight for a few rounds.

Without caring about anything else, Ning Tianchen looked towards another battlefield.

Faced with the attack from a team of more than thirty people, the ten elite members of the Hong family had to huddle together for warmth.

Among them, Hong Xinyue was unable to face the Soul King's attack and could only passively hide behind other people.

However, faced with the charge of a large group of more than 30 people, their formation was quickly dispersed, and Hong Xinyue was also in a dangerous situation.

"Sixth soul skill, flying sword without trace!"

Ning Tianchen's sixth soul skill is similar to the swordsman Chen Xin's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.

However, each blade he summoned seemed to have the ability to think independently and would choose its target independently.

The Seven Killing Swords rolled up thousands of spiritual swords, which poured down under Ning Tianchen's control.

With the cooperation of the ten elite soldiers of the Hong family, all the thirty people were killed.

Ning Tianchen landed beside Hong Xinyue and asked with a smile: "Will you dare to do dirty things in the future?"

What happened today could have been avoided because Hong Xinyue did not plan ahead and Pang Shun escaped, which led to today's attack.

Hong Xinyue smiled bitterly and did not refute his words.

……

On the battlefield not far away.

For ordinary Soul Saints, there will be a seven-day gap after using the Martial Soul True Body. Yesterday, Hong Tianxiang had already released the Martial Soul True Body, and when facing Gu Ao opening the Martial Soul True Body, he could only passively defend.

"Old man, you've even used your spirit body. It looks like today is the end of your Hong family."

As Gu Ao laughed wildly, he caught a glimpse of Ning Tianchen wiping out all his subordinates.

He was immediately furious, and with a slash of his sword, he forced Hong Tianxiang back, then turned and rushed towards Ning Tianchen.

"Boy, you dare to kill my Crazy Blade Sect's elite, you deserve to die."

The loss of these thirty-odd Soul Kings greatly reduced the strength of the Mad Blade Sect. Even if they defeated the Hong Family, they would not be able to take over all of the Hong Family's market share.

If Ning Tianchen ruins his plan, he will definitely kill him to vent his anger.

"The fifth soul skill is powerful in all directions."

The Seven Killing Sword flew out, and the soul skill's forced repulsion effect interrupted Gu Ao's attack. The latter had no time to react, and countless sword qi attacked him.

At the same time, ten elite members of the Hong family escorted Hong Xinyue and left the Xingdou Great Forest from another direction.

Ning Tianchen's countermeasures made Gu Ao, who was in the form of his martial soul, very embarrassed.
