Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 94: Was Ma Xiaotao located?

At this point, Lin Chen couldn't care less about chasing after such a petty person; breaking through these traps was the most important thing right now.

However, Si Nan can't escape either.

When Lin Chen first saw him, he had already secretly attached a wisp of spiritual power to him. Given his speed, it was impossible for him to escape Lin Chen's perception.

Lin Chen raised his right hand, and the Seven Kill Sword immediately appeared in his hand.

Several sword energies slashed through, destroying arrows and mechanisms alike.

Lin Chen held the sword in his right hand and condensed his soul power in his left, creating a dazzling flame of light that instantly illuminated the entire dark walkway.

Lin Chen accelerated, wielding the Seven Kill Sword and hacking wildly with sparks and lightning, using brute force to overcome skill as he advanced while simultaneously dismantling traps.

To Lin Chen's surprise, the mechanism suddenly stopped as he was walking.

If this happens, there's only one possibility: no one is operating the switch.

"Could it be that Si Nan was killed? But there are only the two of us here," Lin Chen said, puzzled.

While pondering, Lin Chen had unknowingly reached the end of the passageway.

Pushing open the door, one enters a spacious underground cave.

Directly in front of Lin Chen, there was a staircase leading upwards, clearly leading to the ground.

"Lin Chen, be careful, Ma Xiaotao is up there," Qian Renxue warned in her mental sea.

"Ma Xiaotao? How did she know I was here? With my mental power, plus your presence, Sister Renxue, how did she locate us?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, clearly unable to come up with a solution either.

Just then, Ma Xiaotao's alluring voice rang out: "Come out, no need to hide anymore."

Lin Chen gripped the Seven Kill Sword and cautiously stepped out of the underground cave.

Seeing Si Nan being trampled under Ma Xiaotao's feet, Lin Chen immediately realized that the problem wasn't with him, but with this burden.

At this moment, Si Nan's last drop of blood was completely absorbed by Ma Xiaotao, who then kicked him into a corner of the room.

This kid is really lucky!

"What do you want?" Lin Chen asked coldly. He dared not place any hope in the fact that this ruthless, fiery demon before him could awaken; even if she could, she would still be a sinner to the entire continent.

At the same time, he fully activated his mental power, sensing the surrounding situation to see if there was any terrain that was advantageous to him.

After scanning the area, Lin Chen was surprised to find that the entire village was devoid of any signs of life and had become an abandoned village.

"She actually slaughtered the entire village. If it was her, her strength must have increased again, right? That would be a bit bad," Lin Chen thought to himself.

Ma Xiaotao didn't care what Lin Chen was thinking. She licked her fingers, and phoenix wings instantly appeared on her back as she charged directly at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He immediately activated his first soul skill, and the two Seven Kill Swords instantly attacked Ma Xiaotao.

Seeing the two Seven Kill Swords attacking her, Ma Xiaotao flashed a hint of disdain. She then accelerated and used her wings to protect her body just as the Seven Kill Swords were about to touch her, using the momentum to continue rushing forward.

With your Soul Saint cultivation level, you think you can hurt me, sister?

But as the Seven Kill Sword pierced Ma Xiaotao's wing, Ma Xiaotao's expression finally changed.

Ma Xiaotao was stabbed back and tumbled in the air before landing. When she landed, the phoenix wings on her back were still trembling slightly.

Phoenixes are not strong defensively, while Lin Chen's Seven Kill Sword is known for its offensive power. The offensive power of Lin Chen's Seven Kill Sword has reached the level of a Title Douluo, so it is perfectly normal for Ma Xiaotao to be injured by Lin Chen.

"Very good, it's been a long time since anyone has been able to harm me, Phoenix True Form!"

Ma Xiaotao was also furious; being injured by a mere Soul Saint had ignited her anger.

Moreover, after becoming an evil soul master, her dark side was amplified. Putting aside everything else, her temper alone was much worse than it had been when she was in the academy.

"Seven Killing True Form!" Lin Chen also used his seventh soul skill.

After absorbing the spirit ring from the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, Lin Chen, as always, concealed the color of the spirit ring. On the surface, it was just an ordinary, unremarkable ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

A strange feeling instantly spread throughout Lin Chen's body, and he felt as if his soul was about to fly away.

"This is the true form of the weapon spirit? It feels like my soul is about to merge with the Seven Kill Sword!" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise.

"You haven't reached the state of oneness with the sword yet; this is just the normal state of your Martial Soul True Body," Qian Renxue said.

"Man and sword as one?"

Having read many martial arts novels in his previous life, Lin Chen naturally knew about this state, but achieving it was extremely difficult.

"Well, after all these years of using the Seven Kill Sword, you have reached the threshold of becoming one with the sword, but you haven't truly entered that realm yet. Your grandfather once fought against a Title Douluo with a level 97 Seven Kill Sword martial soul, and he frankly said that if that Title Douluo were at the same level as him, it would be hard to say who would win or lose."

"Excellent, sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

Ma Xiaotao flew into the air, and shooting stars burning with black flames appeared around her.

"With its sharp edges fully revealed, all swords return to their origin!"

Purple and black spirit rings appeared one after another, and countless Seven Kill Swords suddenly appeared around Lin Chen, pointing at Ma Xiaotao in the air.

Lin Chen brandished the Seven Kill Sword, pointing it at Ma Xiaotao, and countless swords and blades instantly attacked her.

Not to be outdone, Ma Xiaotao flapped her wings, and a phoenix meteor shower crashed down on Lin Chen.

The battle between the two sides officially began at this moment.

"Phoenix wings soaring through the sky, a phoenix rising from the ashes!"

Ma Xiaotao also used her amplified soul skill, spitting out ball after ball of phoenix evil fire at Lin Chen.

Another ten-thousand-year soul ring flashed by, and the Thunder Qilin activated its first skill. A bolt of lightning struck Lin Chen instantly, causing his body to crackle with electricity.

Lin Chen used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to walk on the rooftops of one house after another.

Since this place has become an abandoned village anyway, there's no need to worry about it harming ordinary people.

The two fought their way from the village into the woods, but Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire Line didn't touch Lin Chen at all.

"Is this really the speed that a Soul Saint can possess?" Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but wonder.

Although she had become the Holy Maiden of the Fire Phoenix, she had not lost her ability to think. Seeing Lin Chen's speed, she couldn't help but have doubts.

However, she did not know that Lin Chen was not an ordinary Soul Saint, but a Soul Saint with the first Soul Core, so in all aspects he was incomparable to those ordinary Soul Saints.
