"What a brilliant martial skill. With that already uniquely shaped Moon Blade, both the angles of attack and defense are extremely strange," Tianlin thought to himself with some apprehension. There are simply too many Title Douluo in the Spirit Hall. Designing a set of exclusive soul skills for Xie Yue is too easy for them. It was also obvious that they had come prepared specifically to counter the Seven Kill Sword Technique. The Seven Kill Sword Technique was powerful, but its attacks were straightforward and linear, every move a direct frontal assault. But now, Xie Yue fights mainly with agility, completely countering the Seven Kill Sword Technique. In the spectator stands, Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and the others focused their soul power in their eyes to see through the red mist. They saw that Xiao Tian was at a disadvantage. "The Seven Kill Sword Technique is being countered. Sword Uncle, when are you going to teach him the real essence? Right now, Xiao Tian's Seven Kill Sword Technique is just an entry-level move. If he mastered the true Seven Kill Sword Dao, Xie Yue wouldn't be his match at all," Ning Fengzhi asked Chen Xin beside him. "I thought his current Seven Kill Sword Technique would be enough for the tournament, and I planned to teach him the rest after it was over. I didn't expect this situation to arise," Chen Xin said, frowning. The Seven Kill Sword Technique, famous alongside the Clear Sky Clan's secret techniques, naturally isn't as simple as it appears. Like how the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer has its true essence in the Nine Absolutes, Ring Detonation, and the Great Sumeru Hammer, the Seven Kill Sword Technique has its own deeper secrets—that's Chen Xin's true ultimate skill. "Haha, you don't need to worry. Against this kind of skillful and tricky martial technique, Xiao Tian has his way of dealing with it," Dugu Bo laughed casually. When he once lived with Tianlin at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he had seen Tianlin use another sword technique, which, coincidentally, happens to counter Xie Yue's current martial skill perfectly. Within the red mist, Tianlin had already been forced to the brink by Xie Yue; his clothes were slashed with multiple tears. If not for the Drunken Immortal Moon Gaze Steps, he would likely have been injured already. "Jun Tianlin, you're finished today. Full Moon!" Feeling he had the upper hand, Xie Yue unleashed his strongest move, aiming to decide the match in one go. At that moment, Tianlin smiled faintly and suddenly changed tactics. The Demon Sword thrust straight through the gap between the two Moon Blades, forcing Xie Yue to withdraw and defend. Tianlin flipped over, and the Demon Sword pressed down on Xie Yue with seemingly immense force, completely different from the earlier Seven Kill Sword Technique. While both were offensive, the essence of the Seven Kill Sword Technique was to strike enemy vital points. The swordplay Tianlin now used was all about overwhelming power, unconcerned with what part of the enemy he hit—if he landed a blow, the opponent would be gravely injured if not outright killed. Here, smash was the right word, not slash. The Demon Sword in Tianlin's hand now seemed like an indestructible greatsword; each strike landed with thousands of catties of force. Tianlin swung left and right—it looked plain, but every strike forced Xie Yue to retreat or defend. No matter how skillful Xie Yue's techniques were, he had no room to use them. "What a marvelous sword technique—using bluntness to break skill; the situation has reversed!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed. "Damn it, what sword technique is this? Even with Chen Xin, I've never seen him use it," Gui Mei and Yue Guan were furious. They had spent endless effort to create this Moon Blade technique to counter the Seven Kill Sword, yet it was so easily and thoroughly broken. "Watch closely—this is the Shu Mountain's Steel Slash, the ultimate heavy sword technique," Tianlin thought. Did they think he was helpless once his Seven Kill Sword Technique was restrained? Then Spirit Hall had truly underestimated him. "Sky-Cleaving Slash!" Tianlin swung the Demon Sword three times; the mighty sword pressure pierced through heaven and earth. Xie Yue raised his Moon Blades to block, barely withstanding the first two slashes, but both blades were sent flying by the sword pressure. For the third, it was only thanks to Hu Liena risking her fox tail that they barely managed to block it. "This time, you're finished!" Tianlin stepped forward, terrifying sword energy erupting from his body. He was preparing his ultimate move. Bibi Dong and the others' pupils shrank. This sword energy—Tianlin's next move would be earth-shattering. In Xie Yue and Hu Liena's current state, they couldn't possibly defend against it. Even if Tianlin held back due to the rules, they would still be severely injured. Outside the red mist, feeling Tianlin's immense sword intent, Yan's hair stood on end. "No! Nana is in danger, I have to help her!" Yan didn't consider that if he left, the rest of the Spirit Hall team would become easy prey for Yu Tianheng and Gu Ran, but all he cared about was saving his goddess. "We haven't finished our fight yet, and you want to leave? Dark Thunder!" Yu Tianheng's fifth soul skill—while not as terrifying as ordinary lightning, this kind of dark water lightning didn't disappear after an attack, instead continuing to pool like liquid. After such a long battle, Spirit Hall's half of the arena was already flooded with this black water thunder. It hadn't affected them before, so they ignored it. That was their mistake, and now it would lead them to defeat. Large quantities of dark water thunder gathered in a certain area, continuously draining the life force from anyone but the caster. Anyone entering the pool would feel weak and numb. "Damn it, I have no strength left." Yan and two other Spirit Hall soul masters grew dazed and wobbly. Only the female soul master with the Golden Waist Swallow martial soul was spared, thanks to her flight ability. "Senior Yan, give me your hand, I'll pull you out." Her priority was to save Yan, their strongest member; without him, they had no chance. "Roar!" At that moment, a massive bone dragon blocked her path—Gu Ran's fifth soul skill. The bone dragon stood in the pool unaffected—it was undead, with no life to drain. But the Spirit Hall members were strong too. Though their strength was drained, their soul power remained, so the bone dragon couldn't approach them for a while. But the goal of Emperor Battle was achieved. Yu Tianheng's fifth skill and Guran's bone dragon weren't meant to defeat the opponents, but to buy time. The real finishing blow would come from the least conspicuous—Huanyin. "Everyone, get ready. Let Spirit Hall see what we've prepared for them," Tianheng commanded. While he maintained the dark water thunder, the others surrounded Ye Lingling, channeling their various soul powers together using the fusion theory and then using her unique talent to merge them. The five then stood in a row, their soul power layered and finally channeled into Huanyin. This battle formation shocked everyone. Even the Grandmaster cried out in disbelief, "Five-in-one fusion technique!"
