Chapter 253: This Seat is an Evil-doer, and You Expect Me to Show Mercy?
Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, if one were to ask who had a grudge with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect right now, it would undoubtedly be the Tang Sect members who had left earlier.
But... this was exactly what Ning Fengzhi found most puzzling.
After all, even though they were forced by the situation to join forces with Bibi Dong against Jiang Li in front of the The Pope's Palace, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not part of Spirit Hall.
If Jiang Li had wanted to settle scores with them back in Spirit City, Spirit Hall would likely have just stood by and watched.
"Uncle Sword, are you confident?"
Ning Fengzhi lowered his voice, a hint of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
"Fengzhi, the situation is grim. I can clearly sense that the thieves lurking around are at least of the Titled Douluo level!" Chen Xin held the Seven Kill Sword, his expression solemn to the extreme. "This time, I'm afraid things won't be settled easily!"
Boom—
Before his voice could fade, five pitch-black giant hammers that blotted out the sky suddenly tore through the clouds and smashed down towards the position where Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were!
Even though Chen Xin's reaction was lightning-fast and he activated a defensive Soul Skill at the critical moment to block part of the impact, in order to protect Ning Fengzhi behind him from being crushed by this force, he could only endure the aftershocks. Instantly, his blood surged, and he let out a muffled groan.
Especially since he had just overextended his Soul Power to activate the Seven Kill Avatar in front of the The Pope's Palace, facing a strong enemy now, Chen Xin clearly felt a sense of exhaustion from his empty Meridians.
In an instant, the entire wilderness was silent, with only the earth-shattering roar from just now echoing through the mountains.
"Uncle Sword!"
Ning Fengzhi turned pale with fright and hurriedly summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Brilliant treasure light soared into the sky, and all sorts of top-tier amplification attributes surged into Chen Xin's body as if they were free.
"Cough, cough... Fengzhi, be careful. This overbearing power is—the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Chen Xin swallowed the metallic taste in his throat and stared fixedly at the sky.
Hearing those three words, Ning Fengzhi's brain buzzed. Looking at those pitch-black great hammers, his eyes instantly turned blood-red, and his chest heaved violently!
He, Ning Fengzhi, considered himself a man who had schemed against the Tang Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even played both sides between the Imperial Family and Spirit Hall. Only towards the Clear Sky Sect did he believe he had never done anything wrong!
Even when facing pressure from Spirit Hall back then, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had secretly helped them quite a bit!
And now, these bastards were actually biting the hand that fed them, coming to intercept and kill him halfway?
Just as Jiang Li said, these were a bunch of naturally evil Tang Family members!
"What exactly does your Clear Sky Sect mean?! Do you really intend to go to all-out war with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Ning Fengzhi questioned in a fit of rage. "Also, you lost so many Elders in Spirit Hall before. Where did these five Titled Douluo crawl out from now?"
However, facing Ning Fengzhi's powerless rage, the five dull-faced Tang Family members surrounding them—or rather, Jiang Li, who was controlling everything from the shadows—had no interest in answering at all.
Buzz—
In mid-air, the five giant Clear Sky Hammers instantly intertwined.
Immediately after, the Soul Power of these five Titled Douluo reached a strange and perfect resonance.
A massive amount of power gathered at a single point, like heavenly punishment descending, and smashed ruthlessly towards the crown of Ning Fengzhi's head!
This move was precisely another secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Great Array!
"Fengzhi, be careful!"
"Seven Kill Domain, open!"
"Second Soul Skill, Spirit Sword Protection!"
At the moment the Domain expanded wildly, a materialized Sword Qi protective shield with a diameter of only two meters, centered on Chen Xin, firmly protected the two of them inside.
Ning Fengzhi's movements were also lightning-fast. Besides the maximum amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he also unleashed the defensive Soul Bone abilities he was equipped with without reservation.
As a Rank 96 Peak Douluo famous for slaughter on the Douluo Continent, even if Chen Xin wasn't at his Peak, it wouldn't be easy for ordinary Clear Sky Sect Elders to kill him across ranks.
But... with Ning Fengzhi, a support system burden with no combat capability by his side, he couldn't move freely to dodge and could only choose to take it head-on!
Boom—
The world-destroying energy storm instantly swallowed the two of them.
The blinding light was like a falling sun. When the violent aftershocks gradually dissipated, the tragic scene inside made the air freeze.
Chen Xin's left arm had been severed at the root and was nowhere to be found; his entire body was also covered in blood.
However, as the saying goes, one rises from the ashes. Under the life-and-death pressure of the severed arm, the Bottleneck that had been imprisoned in Chen Xin's body for many years shattered. An even sharper and purer Sword Intent shot into the sky. At this moment, he had actually forced his way into the Rank 97 Peak Douluo Realm!
As for Ning Fengzhi, who was firmly protected behind him, although he survived, he was bleeding from his seven orifices due to the backlash, and his situation was equally dire.
"Fengzhi... in a moment, I will risk my life to hold back these madmen. You find an opportunity, don't look back, and flee towards Heaven Dou City immediately!" Chen Xin gritted his teeth, leaning on his Seven Kill Sword with one hand.
"Uncle Sword... you..."
Before Ning Fengzhi could finish his sentence, Chen Xin forced a breath, and a gentle Sword Qi lifted Ning Fengzhi's body, throwing him outward with a sudden force.
However, how could Jiang Li, who had already set an inescapable net in the shadows, give them a chance to escape?
"Want to leave? Have you asked This Seat?"
A playful voice rang out from thin air.
Ning Fengzhi, who hadn't flown far yet, was instantly caught by a burly black shadow.
That Tang Xiao, who had been refined into a Puppet, swung his great hammer. With a "bang," he smashed the Sect Master of one of the Upper Three Sects back into the deep pit on the ground.
This voice...
No matter how slow Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were, they finally realized at this moment.
Ning Fengzhi recalled Jiang Li's second Martial Soul, which emitted an aura of extreme evil, and that strange Black Banner capable of containing a giant dragon...
"It's you!" Ning Fengzhi pointed at the Void Realm, his voice trembling. "You are Jiang Li!!!"
Being recognized, Jiang Li was surprised for a moment, but only for a moment.
"Jie jie jie—"
As the surrounding Blue Silver Grass emitted dots of blue-gold light, Jiang Li's slender figure slowly emerged. "As expected of the School Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, your mind turns quite fast to have actually recognized me."
Seeing the path to survival cut off, Ning Fengzhi still wanted to make a final struggle. He swallowed hard and shouted urgently, "Excellency Jiang Li! There's no need for our two sides to reach this point! If you are willing to show mercy, I, Ning, am willing to offer all the hundreds of years of heritage and wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and give it all to the Tang Sect!"
"Heh, Sect Master Ning, oh Sect Master Ning, your memory seems to be a bit poor." Jiang Li looked down at him from above, his eyes full of mockery. "Back in Spirit City, didn't you all agree that This Seat is an unpardonable Fallen Spirit Master?"
"Since This Seat is already an evil-doer, why would you naively think that I am not a person who seeks revenge for even the smallest grievance?"
Jiang Li spread his hands helplessly. "Besides, if I slaughter everyone in your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, everything in your treasury will naturally be mine!"
"What slightly surprised This Seat, though, is that Chen Xin, you actually broke through to Rank 97 after losing an arm. Interesting."
