"Everyone, 75 degrees to the southeast! Attack in position!"
Ning Fengzhi also heard Tang Sui's voice. With an order, he, holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda emitting a radiant glow, turned first towards the direction Tang Sui indicated.
Just as several Soul Douluos and Soul Saints managed to break out of the domain, a barrage of attack soul skills mixed with poisoned crossbow bolts surged towards them, magnifying in their pupils.
"Rumble—!"
The dense attacks, like rain hitting banana leaves or fireworks constantly exploding, fell upon them, covering the sky and earth.
The disheveled figures in black were forced to retreat from the range of the flames of war. Two to three hundred disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stood at a distance from Dai Mubai and the others, frozen, glaring with venom at Tang Sui, who had also emerged from the domain at some unknown time, now clutching her chest and panting slightly.
One domain had cost their team of two thousand countless lives.
Even though they had lost many during their assault on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to the strange weapons used by the sect's disciples, none of it stung as much as this girl's single strike that took over a thousand lives!
Such terrifying strength explained why His Holiness the Pope had elevated the bounty on this girl to the highest tier back then!
"Sui Sui, can you still hold on?"
Dai Mubai, who had activated his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, maintained his attacking posture, shielding Tang Sui. Ma Hongjun was in the air above, and Zhu Zhuqing guarded the outside, tightly protecting Tang Sui.
One after another, auxiliary lights fell upon Tang Sui, but most of them were soul power enhancements.
It wasn't that they didn't want to give Tang Sui a sixth amplification, but almost all the powerful disciples of the sect were away on missions. Ning Fengzhi's support was entirely focused on Chen Xin and Gu Rong above, leaving him unable to multitask. Many disciples were only at level thirty or forty.
This was the greatest support the other disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could provide Tang Sui.
With both internal and external strength rising, Tang Sui's pale complexion warmed slightly. She shook her head at Dai Mubai's question and looked up at the six figures engaged in a fierce battle in the sky.
"I'm fine. The rest depends on Senior Sword Douluo and Senior Bone Douluo."
Their current strength was too weak. Moreover, forty percent of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main force was out on business. They had done what they could. Now, it was up to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to withstand the four Titled Douluos!
"Bang bang bang—!"
The sound of hard metal clashing echoed endlessly.
"Chen Xin! Let's try our combination skill!"
Snake Spear Douluo and Thorn Blood Douluo both summoned their martial soul true bodies. With the Thorn Blood Douluo's body inflated into a giant sphere of spikes as the main component, combined with the long spear-like fangs emerging from the mouth of the porpoise under its martial soul true body, they unleashed a powerful charge that blasted through countless sonic booms, fiercely stabbing towards Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were standing in mid-air.
"Rock Puffer Spear!"
The fat pufferfish, bloated into a sphere of blood-red thorns, opened its sharp, spear-like fangs, repelling the small swords conjured by soul power. With the imposing aura of a single person holding back a million, it broke through the encirclement of the sword formation, trailing crimson light. In an instant, it was close to Chen Xin.
Chen Xin's gaze sharpened, but instead of meeting it head-on, he suddenly retreated tens of meters. Using this brief delay and the distance gained, a wisp of black smoke coalesced in the void. Gu Rong, clad in black armor and with a cold glint in his eyes, raised his hands, his sixth dark halo buzzing with energy!
"Sixth Soul Skill, Gate of Time and Space! Open!"
A black spatial gate, larger than the inflated Thorn Blood Pufferfish, opened before them. The powerful suction force prevented the inertial charge of the Thorn Blood Pufferfish from braking in time. Even the other two Titled Douluos chasing closely behind Gu Rong—Demon Subduing Douluo and Golden Hook Douluo—almost lost their footing and were pulled into the massive spatial black hole.
"Not good! We're going to be sucked in!"
A sense of crisis crawled up their spines. Thorn Blood Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo quickly dispelled their combination skill and scattered in different directions.
Demon Subduing Douluo and Golden Hook Douluo, who were pursuing, held hands with the one wielding a golden dragon-patterned long staff, who resembled the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, capable of covering 108,000 li with a single somersault. Relying on the terrifying weight of the staff, which weighed tens of thousands of catties, they stabilized themselves and successfully retreated.
Golden Hook Douluo, whose martial soul true body was avian, appeared much more disheveled than Demon Subduing Douluo, but she still frantically flapped her fiery feathers. Her feathers were disheveled, and countless fine wounds appeared on her body. Nevertheless, she managed to break through the suction force and retreated several meters with a swift movement.

But it wasn't over yet!
Black flames, not true flames but an aura, flickered in Gu Rong's eyes. These were spatial rifts in the world!
"Gate of Time and Space! Open!"
"Open!"
"Open!"
Gu Rong opened one spatial rift after another, at varying distances, forming an absolute encirclement that trapped the four Titled Douluos who were dodging separately.
Simultaneously, Chen Xin moved.
"Seven Kill Sword, Ten Thousand Swords Concealed!"
In the swirling night, the sword tips flashed with cold light, not as a single point, but with lightning speed. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of sword lights flickered. Like iron drawn to a magnet, the buzzing small swords, along with the countless blood-stained crossbow bolts lying on the cold ground, formed a dragon of over a hundred thousand interwoven arrows and swords. Accompanied by a powerful sword aura that swept outwards, it seemed as if it would cleave through the boundless night!
"Sixth Soul Skill, Myriad Swords Return to One!"
Chen Xin, with beads of cold sweat on his forehead, his expression stern, his eyes shot out frigid sword intent.
At this moment, he was not a person, but a sword, a drawn sword, profound and suffocating, yet with a vast sword intent as embracing as the sea, it spread out.
His sword-pointed fingers, like blades, sliced through the air. The massive sword rain then whistled out, shooting into the spatial black holes opened by Gu Rong, forming a closed-loop flowing sword formation that sealed the four Titled Douluos layer by layer!
A sword frost chills fourteen provinces!
"Boom boom—!"
The sword rain hit, like thunder splitting the sky, tearing through the dark curtain, emitting deafening explosions that tortured people's eardrums. Even the Soul Douluos felt their blood and qi surge, their minds dizzy, stars appearing before their eyes, and one of them suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
All the mental and power impacts on Ning Fengzhi's side were blocked by the barrier of demonic power. As the owner of the barrier, Tang Sui naturally didn't fare any better. She immediately spat out another mouthful of blood. The sharp decline in her stats made Tang Sui feel danger, but the moment her second soul skill's 90-second cooldown was complete, she still applied it to Chen Xin in the void!
"Second Soul Skill, Benevolent Visage!"
"Cough!"
After using the soul skill, Tang Sui's vision darkened. Her attack form was forcibly dispelled due to the sharp decline in her stats, and her legs gave way, causing her to lurch forward.
"Sui Sui!"
Zhu Zhuqing, reacting with extreme speed, caught the semi-limp Tang Sui. Uncontrollable worry etched itself onto her cool and beautiful face.
Tang Sui was covered in cold sweat. With a thought, a white porcelain bottle instantly appeared at her feet.

Tell a joke, today Mo Li was carried down on a bamboo sedan chair. Truly, went in standing, came out horizontally (lying down jpg).
But, to be honest, the bamboo sedan chair was actually quite nice. It was like riding a horse, but without the worry of your legs getting chafed.
