Chapter 7: Nine Character Sword Art!

Chapter 7: Nine Character Sword Art!

In the sky above, Chen Xin and Ji Wudao had already finished their soul skill confrontation and instead began to fight with their swordsmanship. Each had their own understanding, fighting evenly, making it difficult to distinguish between them. At least, with Ning Fengzhi's assistance, Chen Xin couldn't completely surpass Ji Wudao.

With a single sword strike, Chen Xin pushed Ji Wudao back and murmured, "His swordsmanship is truly domineering, even more aggressive than my Seven Kill Swordsmanship!"

If Chen Xin's swordsmanship was known for its speed and dominance, then Ji Wudao's swordsmanship was about overwhelming his opponents with powerful attacks. His sword strikes were bold and forceful, possessing a highly aggressive nature, making it even more domineering than Chen Xin's Seven Kill Swordsmanship!

It could only be said that both swordsmanship styles had their own merits and insights.

"Chen Xin, it's time to end this. I don't have time to waste with you here. Let's determine the outcome with one move!" Ji Wudao stood tall in the sky, one hand behind his back, the other holding his long sword. With his white hair fluttering, he looked like a transcendent figure untouched by worldly affairs.

Meanwhile, Chen Xin's clothes were somewhat tattered, and he himself was in a sorry state, being pushed back step by step by Ji Wudao. Even with Ning Fengzhi's assistance, he could only manage to hold his ground against Ji Wudao.

"Alright, let's determine the outcome with one move!" Chen Xin responded.

Ji Wudao smiled. Although he hadn't killed Tang San today, this trip was not in vain. It had honed his Purgatory Swordsmanship to a higher level. Fighting against a master swordsman had greatly improved his skills!

"Come, Chen Xin! Nine Character Sword Art: First Word, Attack Word Technique. Second Word, Agility Word Technique. Third Word, Defense Word Technique!"

As Ji Wudao finished speaking, his aura suddenly soared, and soul power surged around him. Three characters formed from soul power appeared around his body: Attack, Agility, and Defense.

As the Three Character Sword Art, a reward from the system, had been perfected by him over the years, Ji Wudao's strength had reached its peak. The Three Character Sword Art could enhance his attack, agility, and defense by one hundred percent!

Standing on the flattened mountain peak, Chen Xin looked up at Ji Wudao in the sky. He could feel that Ji Wudao's strength had increased, and he was more powerful than before!

"Nine Character Sword Art, is this your true strength, Eighth Worship of the worship hall?" Chen Xin muttered.

Without hesitation, he shouted, "Seventh Soul Skill: Seven Kill True Body!"

A huge phantom appeared behind him, wielding a massive Seven Kill Sword. Chen Xin's aura reached its peak. With Ning Fengzhi's assistance, his strength was not weak. He could even battle against two opponents of the same level!

But he was facing Ji Wudao, this monster. Although their strengths were equal, he always ended up at a disadvantage.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Divine Demon Double Slash!" Chen Xin's feet lit up with nine soul rings. Then, the ninth soul ring merged into his body, and a character appeared behind him for a moment before disappearing and merging into the Seven Kill Sword, increasing its killing intent.

"Eighth Worship of the worship hall, prepare yourself for the most powerful attack of my life!"

Behind him, his martial soul true body was ready to strike.

Ji Wudao also didn't hesitate and smiled, "Seventh Soul Skill: Purgatory True Body!"

Soul power surged, almost solidifying the Purgatory True Body this time. It resembled a specter, exuding an imposing presence. The black armor made it even more visually striking.

With his huge Purgatory Sword raised high, he pointed it directly at Chen Xin!

"Ninth Soul Skill: Divine Demon Purgatory Slash!" A red soul ring suddenly appeared, and crimson energy surged before merging into Ji Wudao's body. Two characters appeared behind him.

Divine, Demon!

One black, one red, the two characters were so conspicuous in the sky that even the sky seemed dim, shrouded in gloom.

Then, the characters of "Divine" and "Demon" exploded and merged into the Purgatory Sword, endless malevolent aura soaring into the sky, forming a vortex of malevolent energy.

"Chen Xin, I respect you as my opponent, so this is my most powerful attack. Brace yourself and don't die!" A trace of darkness flashed in Ji Wudao's eyes.

With a loud shout, he slashed, "Divine Demon Purgatory Slash!"

Chen Xin shouted in response, "Divine Demon Double Slash!"

The Purgatory True Body swung its sword fiercely, and a crescent-shaped black and red sword aura rushed towards Chen Xin's position.

Meanwhile, Chen Xin, in his Seven Kill True Body, swung his two swords fiercely, unleashing a cross-shaped sword aura filled with his comprehension of swordsmanship. At this moment, Chen Xin's understanding of his own swordsmanship was extremely clear.

The blue and black sword auras collided, causing debris to fly around. Chen Xin was sent flying hundreds of meters away, barely managing to stabilize his figure.

As the dust settled, a huge gully appeared on the ground, about a kilometer long. This was the residual impact of Ji Wudao's sword aura. If it weren't for Chen Xin's Divine Demon Double Slash neutralizing most of the energy, the aftermath would have been even more terrifying.

With the battle over, Ji Wudao left. It wasn't the time to kill Chen Xin now. The Spirit Hall hadn't yet openly clashed with the major forces of the continent. If he killed Chen Xin recklessly, it would likely put the major powers on guard and even trigger a powerful counterattack!

Kneeling on one knee, Chen Xin spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the massive gully created by Ji Wudao's sword aura with a lingering fear and said, "Truly worthy of being the Eighth Worship of the worship hall. Even the Eighth Worship possesses such terrifying strength. It's truly horrifying!"

He lost this battle. Chen Xin lost. However, the gains were also immense. His comprehension of swordsmanship and sword heart had deepened. It probably wouldn't take long before his swordsmanship reached a higher level!

Chen Xin wiped the blood from his mouth, slowly stood up, and pulled out the Seven Kill Sword embedded in the ground. Looking at the massive gully, he said, "Next time, I won't lose!"

He already had a plan. Whether it was a swordsmanship competition or a soul skill competition, he believed that the opponent's gains would definitely not exceed his own!

After the Advanced Soul Master Grand Competition on the entire continent ended, he planned to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to start seclusion and break through to the next realm, level 97!

He had reached level 96 many years ago, but progress had been slow. Today's battle had enlightened him a lot, enough for him to break through to the next realm!

At their level, enlightenment was key. Otherwise, even at the same realm, it might take seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, to make progress!

"How are you, Sword Uncle?" Ning Fengzhi rushed over at this moment. Seeing the blood on the ground and Chen Xin's sorry state, he knew that Sword Uncle had lost this time.

Chen Xin turned to him and said, "Fengzhi, I've met a formidable opponent, a rival in swordsmanship. He's much stronger than me, much stronger. But I've gained a lot from this battle. With your assistance next time, I won't lose!"

With Ning Fengzhi's assistance, he wouldn't lose. Otherwise, he admitted that he was completely no match for the opponent, whether it was the terrifying Sword Technique Three Styles or the Nine Character Sword Art!

These two self-created soul skills were enough to prove that the opponent's comprehension of swordsmanship was stronger than his own!

But he was not weak either. The Seven Kill Swordsmanship was no less inferior to the opponent's swordsmanship!
