Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang dared not let the Golden Dragon take on Sword Douluo's attack head-on. He suddenly roared: "Farting like thunder, Luo San Pao, split the heavens and earth!"
What Yu Xiaogang shouted was the original Spirit Ability of Luo San Pao. Instantly, the Golden Dragon glowed with golden light and abruptly twisted its body in mid-air. The very next second, a plume of golden mist sprayed from beneath the Golden Dragon's tail, condensing into a shimmering gold shield in mid-air to block the incoming Sword Qi.
"Boom—!"
The Sword Qi and the golden shield violently collided. Light exploded, the Void Realm shook, and the two forces actually stalemated, locked in a fierce struggle high above the ground. The golden shield and the intense Sword Intent constantly clashed, a thunderous roar sweeping across all directions.
"A bit interesting. You were actually able to block my fifth Spirit Ability," Sword Douluo said, a cold smile slowly spreading across his lips. "What if I add my sixth Spirit Ability?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his sixth Spirit Ring suddenly lit up. That deep black color spread out as if it were devouring the world. Sword Douluo held his sword with one hand, raised his other hand high, and then sharply brought it down.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Myriad Swords Returning to the Sect!"
With his low roar, the energy between heaven and earth seemed to tremble. Immediately after, countless Seven Kill Swords, condensed purely from spirit power, suddenly formed in mid-air. They were densely packed, like a waterfall pouring from the sky. The blades shone with brilliant, cold light, roaring as they covered the sky, then raining down frantically toward the Golden Dragon.
"Roar—!"
The Golden Dragon let out a deafening roar, struggling to resist, but the moment the sword rain fell, the golden light shield shattered instantly, unable to hold! Countless swords pierced right through the Golden Dragon's massive body. The golden dragon scales broke off piece by piece, like the crisp sound of porcelain smashing.
"Crack, crack, crack—!"
Starting from its head, the Golden Dragon's huge form rapidly cracked open. The massive dragon head instantly crumbled into specks of golden light, which then spread throughout its entire body. Finally, it collapsed into a sky full of golden fragments, scattering and falling in the air, disappearing without a trace.
Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender all turned pale, staggering back a few steps. Their aura was extremely weak, and traces of blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill had almost completely drained their spirit power. Yet, Sword Douluo in front of them was still standing high and mighty.
"Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is indeed excellent."
Sword Douluo's words were sharp, each one cutting into Yu Xiaogang's heart like a blade. "If all three of you had Spirit Saint level cultivation, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be your opponent. But unfortunately, among you, there is one good-for-nothing who hasn't even reached level thirty!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen. His body trembled, and he panted heavily but couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, don't go too far!" Liu Erlong's eyes blazed with fire. She gritted her teeth and let out a cold shout, but due to the overexertion of her spirit power, she could barely stand. "We are, after all, members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Sword Douluo sneered, slowly raising the Seven Kill Sword in his hand.
"Heh heh, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Others might be afraid, but I, Chen Xin, am not." His gaze was filled with cold killing intent. "Speak, do you have any last words?"
At this point, the Seven Kill Sword in his hand flickered with cold light, and a chilling Sword Qi flowed from the blade, pointing directly at the three of them. Its sharp aura was suffocating.
"You… you can't kill me! Erlong and I have unusual identities! We are not just ordinary Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples!" Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled, yet he desperately tried to appear strong.
"I… I am Yu Yuanzhen's son, the Clan Chief of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Erlong is even my second uncle Yu Luomian's daughter! If you dare to touch Erlong and me, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will never let you off!"
As his voice fell, the air instantly became dead silent.
"Heh heh, Yu Yuanzhen's son? So what?" Hearing this, Sword Douluo raised an eyebrow, his sword edge still sharp, a hint of mockery and disdain appearing on his face. "Rongrong's vitality has diminished quite a bit.
At best, it will affect her cultivation Foundation; at worst, it will shorten her lifespan. Today, if you don't give my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School an explanation, then you will just…"
At this point, a hint of killing intent flashed in Sword Douluo's eyes, and he horizontally slashed out with the Seven Kill Sword in his hand.
However, just then, a sound of rushing wind suddenly came from directly ahead.
"Clang—!"
The piercing Sword Qi and the incoming arrow collided in the air, sending sparks flying everywhere. The next second, the arrow was instantly split in half, then fell to the ground, making a crisp clinking sound.
Seeing this, Sword Douluo frowned slightly, his gaze like a sword as he stared ahead. Ning Fengzhi's eyes also narrowed, and a grave expression appeared on his face.
"This crossbow bolt seems a bit familiar." Looking at the arrow that had been split in half, Ning Fengzhi paused slightly and said in a low voice.
Sword Douluo replied in a deep voice: "Hmm… indeed, this is exactly the same as the Hidden Weapons Rongrong brought back to show us before."
As he spoke, Sword Douluo slightly raised the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, and Sword Qi swept forward like water ripples. His gaze was quite sharp as he demanded: "Who is it? Come out!"
A blue figure slowly walked out from behind the Shrek Academy gate. His steps were steady, his expression calm, and in the light of the setting sun, his young and resolute face was clearly visible. It was Tang San.
"Junior Tang San, greetings to School Master Ning, greetings to Senior Sword Douluo." Tang San took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said in a calm tone.
Seeing the newcomer, Sword Douluo's eyes narrowed. The Sword Intent on his Seven Kill Sword did not retract, but slowly rotated, as if it could strike at any moment. After a moment of contemplation, Ning Fengzhi spoke in a deep voice: "You are… Tang San?"
Tang San nodded slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, and took another step forward.
"Those Hidden Weapons on Rongrong, did you make them?" Sword Douluo exchanged a glance with Ning Fengzhi beside him, his eyes moving slightly, and pressed for an answer.
"Yes," Tang San said calmly, meeting the sharp gaze.
Hearing this, the Sword Intent in Sword Douluo's eyes grew stronger. But Tang San did not flinch; instead, he continued: "I think you two must have misunderstood my teacher. I was watching just now and heard your conversation. Rongrong fell ill after returning, and her vitality has severely diminished. This matter truly has nothing to do with our Shrek Academy."
At this point, he paused, and his expression turned cold. "The one truly involved in this is a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Spirit Master named Dugu Yan."
"What did you say?!" Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo almost simultaneously changed their expressions dramatically, a hint of shock and disbelief flashing in their eyes.
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "A Jade Phosphorous Serpent Spirit Master, Dugu Yan? Poison Douluo's granddaughter?!"
The next second, Sword Douluo's gaze suddenly sharpened, his entire body's Sword Intent erupted again, and he pressed: "Tang San, what do you mean by that?!"
Facing Sword Douluo's substantial Sword Intent pressure, Tang San showed no fear. His voice became even clearer and more forceful as he said:
"When our Shrek Academy participated in the team battle Spirit fighting in Soto City, all five of them, except for Xiao Wu and me, were poisoned by Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom. I had studied some pharmacology since childhood, and when I detoxified them afterward, I discovered an anomaly."
He explained further, "I found that the vitality in their five bodies had all diminished to varying degrees. This was not something our Shrek Academy could have caused, but rather a symptom that would only appear after being poisoned by snake venom."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi frowned tightly, not speaking for a long time.
"If you two still have doubts, I can immediately invite the remaining four members of our Shrek Academy out for you to personally examine. Then you will see that the vitality in their bodies has also diminished quite a bit. All of this has nothing to do with Shrek Academy." Seeing that Ning Fengzhi's heart was already somewhat wavering, Tang San quickly continued.
As he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo both looked grim. They exchanged glances, and the cold light in their eyes had already receded somewhat, replaced by doubt and contemplation.
However, just at this moment, a cold shout suddenly came from a nearby rooftop, with a hint of sarcasm in the voice:
"Oh? If you're poisoned by my granddaughter's snake venom, your vitality will disappear?" The voice chuckled. "Heh heh… This is the first time this old man has heard such a thing. If Jade Phosphorous Serpent's venom were really that potent, wouldn't I have been invincible long ago?"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked up in unison. On the rooftop, an old man in a green robe and a young man in blue stood. The two of them looked down at Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and the Shrek group below.
