Chapter 227: Sword Douluo Takes Action, Spirit Hall Retreats!
A few minutes earlier, on a secluded mountain peak at the edge of the canyon, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood side by side. Their gazes pierced through the smoke and dust, clearly seeing the fierce battle raging in the canyon below.
Watching the Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang Hao and his son, and the Tianxing Academy entangled in battle, especially seeing his daughter Ning Rongrong's Tianxing Academy deeply surrounded, Ning Fengzhi's refined face furrowed, lost in deep thought and weighing his options.
He hesitated, wondering whether to intervene in this mess.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the three upper sects, rashly getting involved in such a large-scale conflict, especially directly confronting the Spirit Hall, would be extremely risky.
"Fengzhi, judging from the current situation, it seems impossible for the Spirit Hall to capture Tang Chuan today."
"Unless... they have other Title Douluos hidden from the fray."
Just then, standing beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, clad in white with an aura as sharp as a sword, slowly spoke, his voice as clear and direct as his sword.
"Should we... make a move now?"
"After all, Rongrong is also at Tianxing Academy. Our intervention now, while not exactly a timely help, is much better than waiting until everything settles down and the storm subsides before trying to curry favor."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed upon hearing this. He hesitated only briefly before nodding heavily.
In the previous situation, Tianxing Academy was at a huge disadvantage; a slight misstep could have resulted in the entire academy being wiped out.
But now it's different. The two Elders of Qianjun Jiangmo have lost their fighting ability.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to make a move now, the outcome would be uncertain.
Having reached a consensus, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He said no more. The Seven Kill Sword in his hand, renowned throughout the continent, had already sensed its master's fighting spirit and emitted a clear, resonant hum!
The next second, all nine spirit rings on his body shone brightly, and he immediately flew away on his sword!
Thus, the scene of the Seven Kill Sword piercing through the air and stunning the entire battlefield unfolded!
...
At this moment, on the chaotic battlefield, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had also retreated in a sorry state to the sides of Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, the two elders. The four of them stood together, facing the sudden turn of events.
Looking at the Seven Kill Sword that had suddenly appeared, radiating endless sharpness and killing intent, deeply embedded in the ground as if splitting the entire battlefield in two, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed slightly. He shouted in a shrill voice, his voice fierce but weak:
"Chen Xin! Does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also want to get involved in this mess?!"
His voice was threatening, attempting to intimidate the opponent with the power of the Spirit Hall.
However, his response was a graceful figure descending from the sky like a startled swan.
It was an old man with white hair and beard, a cold and stern face, sharp eyes like swords, and a posture as upright as a pine tree. He landed lightly in front of the Seven Kill Sword, then extended his hand, steady as a rock, and effortlessly pulled the Seven Kill Sword from the ground.
"Why are you getting involved?"
With a cold laugh, Sword Douluo held the Seven Kill Sword, casually pointing the tip forward, his gaze calmly sweeping over Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"My young lady is within the Tianxing Academy."
"At this moment, I am merely protecting my young lady and her friends… nothing more."
He cleverly defined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intervention as protecting his young lady and her friends, occupying the moral high ground, rather than openly opposing the Spirit Hall.
"You...!" Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo was so enraged by Chen Xin's seemingly reasonable yet actually forceful statement that he almost spat out blood again. He roared,
"So, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really intends to oppose us?!"
"Aren't you afraid..."
Hearing this, Chen Xin merely flicked his wrist, the sword energy on the Seven Kill Sword pulsating and emitting a low buzzing sound. His eyes, like cold stars, coldly stared at Chrysanthemum Douluo. Although he didn't speak again, his posture had already said everything.
So what if he is?
With him here, the Spirit Hall will not be able to touch the Tianxing Academy in the slightest today!
The atmosphere in the arena became tense again due to Sword Douluo Chen Xin's forceful intervention! However, this time, the scales of advantage had begun to tilt towards the Tianxing Academy.
Just then, a clear and elegant voice rang out:
"Oppose what? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is merely acting on the orders of Emperor Xue Ye to protect the safety of the participating students." Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, carrying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Beside him stood Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
However, the latter's expression was rather grim; clearly, he hadn't expected Qianjun and Jiangmo to appear here.
Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi, Qianjun Douluo frowned slightly.
He naturally knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support capabilities; Sword Douluo Chen Xin was currently equivalent to two level 96 Title Douluos!
What if they continued fighting? However, as a retainer of the Spirit Hall, he was too proud and arrogant to simply give up. He was about to speak when Xue Qinghe's lips moved slightly.
Then, his expression changed again, and he said to Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo,
"Take your men and retreat."
With that, the two of them flashed away, transforming into two streaks of light and disappearing from the spot.
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were somewhat confused, but they exchanged a glance, nodded, and then vanished from the spot in a flash.
After the two titled Douluos, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, vanished silently, the surrounding men in black retreated like a tide, taking their fallen comrades with them as they went.
They arrived quickly and retreated even faster; in the blink of an eye, these deadly men in black had disappeared behind the hill.
Just as the Spirit Hall members vanished in a flash of light, a dark green figure rushed in from the other side of the valley—it was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
His hair was disheveled, and his robes were dusty, clearly indicating he had just endured a fierce battle.
Seeing the newcomer, Ning Fengzhi immediately stepped forward, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his hand still glowing, and apologized gently:
"Dean Dugu Bo, I'm sorry. I wanted to come and help you sooner, but I had to protect His Highness the Crown Prince, so I was a little late."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo stopped, his gaze sweeping over Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe beside him. A knowing glint flashed across his wrinkled face. He knew perfectly well that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader had been observing from the sidelines until the situation became clear.
But he still managed a smile, his voice hoarse, and said,
"Sect Leader Ning, what are you saying? We are deeply grateful for your help. If you hadn't appeared in time, I doubt those from the Spirit Hall would have retreated."
