6 Chu Feng drinks wine, awaiting the battle of Sword Douluo.
The newcomer was none other than the Protecting Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo Chen Xin!
Dressed in white robes, his hair and beard were completely white, and his eyes scanned the mountains of corpses with a cold light.
He showed no sign of grief, only a hint of disdain.
However, he must have been entrusted by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to come here.
As a level 95 Titled Douluo, his appearance immediately made Qian Renxue feel invisible pressure.
Chu Feng, however, acted according to his own will, casually tossing his Battle Axe into the river of blood and turning to find a clean spot to rest.
Qian Renxue's eyes widened, utterly astonished.
Who would just give up when facing such a great enemy? Could it be that even he couldn't win?
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Qian Renxue asked in a low voice, confusion filling her brow.
"Just resting. Killing him won't take much effort."
Chu Feng pulled out a pot of Palace Red Wine from who knows where, lifted it into the air, and poured it into his mouth.
Half-turned, he savored a unique pleasure amidst the bloodshed.
This behavior caused Qian Renxue's impression of him to return to square one: he was a scoundrel.
She then remembered that she was also a Titled Douluo, and if she fought head-on, her chances of winning wouldn't be low.
Just then, dozens of Glazed Tile School Disciples in light green robes rushed in from outside the hall. Clearly, they were here to assist Chen Xin.
"No one move."
Chen Xin seemed displeased, commanding them with a face like cold iron.
The disciples felt embarrassed and could only retreat slightly.
"I told you long ago that Sword Elder's swordsmanship is unmatched in the World, and he doesn't need our assistance, but you insisted on coming."
One of the disciples began making excuses, fully aware of Chen Xin's temperament.
He never needed help for things he could easily accomplish.
Naturally, facing these two mediocre opponents, Chen Xin was sure to succeed. For them, as disciples, to appear rashly would only spoil the scene.
But another disciple said, "But over four hundred members of the Imperial Family have died in battle. Their strength cannot be underestimated."
"Exactly, better safe than sorry," another disciple chimed in.
"Noisy!"
Chen Xin strongly disliked this idle chatter and rebuked them sternly.
The disciples lowered their heads instantly, finally remembering how formidable the Sword Elder before them truly was.
The reason the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could stand tall in the World was partly due to this sword.
After all, the Sect was established based on supportive Spirits; their offensive combat capability was essentially negative.
To carve out a place for themselves on the cruel Douluo Continent, they would certainly struggle to gain recognition.
Therefore, the existence of a Combat-Type Spirit was necessary to ensure the long-term stability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
And Sword Douluo was arguably the strongest Sword Spirit user the Sect had found throughout the generations over the past few centuries.
Moreover, Sword Douluo's Spirit, the Seven Kill Sword, was originally a Famous Inherited Spirit, occupying the highest rank among Tool Spirits.
Even when compared to the Clear Sky Hammer, the strongest Tool Spirit blessed with a Protagonist's Halo, it did not fall behind.
"That's right. Once, when the Sect was vulnerable, we were ambushed. If Sword Elder hadn't defended against the enemy alone, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"I remember that time it was four Tool Spirit Titled Douluo. Their swords were also quite famous, but they were too far behind Sword Elder."
"Exactly! Now let's see what qualifications those two newly-promoted Titled Douluo have to block the strongest sword in the World!"
The disciples couldn't suppress their soaring emotions, acting as if they were personally involved.
Qian Renxue heard these words clearly, and of course, she had long been aware of his reputation.
Because the title Sword Dao Chen Xin was already highly renowned in the current World, and most people would be terrified upon hearing about the strongest offensive Spirit.
However, Qian Renxue's Angel Spirit was not just for show. She just wasn't sure how large a five-level gap truly was.
"You've killed so many members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, yet you show no remorse?"
Sword Douluo's eyes shone like stars. He finally dropped his aloof demeanor and prepared to act.
Primarily, he had been goaded by this group of disciples, and if he didn't show off a bit, his image would suffer.
"This?"
Qian Renxue couldn't find a suitable response; she was naive.
Chu Feng answered for her: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is rich enough to rival a nation, so why do you assist the wicked and serve the Noble Class?"
This counter-question made Sword Douluo's heart tremble.
Logically, with his experience traveling the World, he couldn't gauge Chu Feng's depth at all.
And those words were like a sharp thorn piercing his heart, stirring up a considerable ripple.
At the same time, Qian Renxue heard Chu Feng's bold words and thought he had finally smartened up, only to turn around and find him drinking again.
"The Heavenly Dao resides in Heaven Dou, and the Emperor's decree is the Heavenly Dao. This is an indisputable fact. You are just being sophistry."
Sword Douluo cleared his throat and continued to speak brazenly.
The disciples burst into joyful cheers, their admiration for their Elder fully displayed.
"Sword Elder has already given you plenty of leeway. Please don't be ungrateful."
"Exactly! You have committed a monstrous crime and are surely doomed. Why not be more dignified about it?"
...After the disciples cheered him on again, Sword Douluo's expression solidified.
"Seven Kill Sword!"
He truly showed no courtesy, and he truly lived up to his identity as a "Sword Man."
He immediately used a vicious move, seemingly leaving Qian Renxue no room to maneuver.
This further indicated that Chu Feng's words had struck a nerve in his heart.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Angel True Body!"
Qian Renxue could no longer hold back. Since there was a gap in strength, she had to give it her all.
As she shouted, a massive golden phantom of an Angel appeared behind her, granting her a large increase in damage.
But the five-level gap remained, and she lacked the determination to win.
Chen Xin was slightly startled at first, knowing he was facing a God-Bestowed Spirit, but then he gathered his focus.
He seemed to know even better that if he could slay the Angel with the Seven Kill Sword, his strength would advance another level.
"It seems normal that these soldiers died by your hand, but unfortunately for you, you met me!"
Sword Douluo was extremely arrogant, swinging the Seven Kill Sword, causing lightning to tear through the air.
"Just a petty person upholding imperial power. Take this!"
Qian Renxue gradually adopted Chu Feng's Spirit and way of thinking, her tone becoming somewhat similar.
She raised the Angelic Sacred Sword and charged toward the Seven Kill Sword, golden and purple streams of light intertwining amidst the lightning.
The entire great hall was shattered into pieces. The piles of corpses were blasted a second time, scattering flesh and blood everywhere.
However, Qian Renxue soon found it difficult to withstand such a powerful attack. She had the strength of a Titled Douluo but lacked the spirit rings corresponding to that title.
This was the greatest drawback of the Buff: leveling up without granting high-tier spirit rings.
This was fatal to her; Qian Renxue felt a life-or-death threat.
"I told you earlier to take a break. See, why won't you obediently listen, you stubborn girl?"
As Chu Feng spoke, he tossed the pot of wine away, then dusted off his clothes and drew his sword.
Where did he get a sword? It was the third Divine Artifact granted by the System previously: the three-ring sword.
