Douluo Dalu: Starting With Tom Cat
Chapter 308: The Seven Kill Sword Would be Afraid of a Blade of Grass?!
CHAPTER 308: CHAPTER 308: THE SEVEN KILL SWORD WOULD BE AFRAID OF A BLADE OF GRASS?!
"No, I object."
All the Tributes looked towards Qian Renxue. Shen An’s proposal is quite good. Why is our own Young Master objecting?
Qian Renxue felt a little flustered being looked at by so many gazes and put on a stern face.
She couldn’t very well say that there were two vixens in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and that she was afraid Shen An would go and rekindle old feelings, could she?
That would make her, Qian Renxue, seem like she couldn’t even control her own man, which was very weak.
She coughed lightly twice. "The journey to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is long. A round trip will delay a lot of time. For Shen An to disappear rashly will make Bibi Dong suspicious."
The various Tributes were silent. To be honest, this reason was very far-fetched.
How noble was a Titled Douluo? As a top-tier expert on the continent, they could basically do whatever they wanted.
If even an unreasoned disappearance had to be reported to Bibi Dong, then being a Titled Douluo would be too frustrating.
Besides Qian Daoliu, the Tributes looked at each other. They all felt that their own Young Master was a little off.
"I can feign being in seclusion. As a Titled Douluo, it should be very normal for Yan Chixia to be in seclusion, right?" Shen An said.
"I have some old acquaintance with Sect Master Ning. It would be easier to talk if I go. If it were you all, with Sect Master Ning’s wisdom, he would surely be suspicious."
He added. Only then did Qian Renxue unwillingly nod her head.
For this matter, besides Shen An, no one else could really do it. After all, their innate camps had decided that it would be very difficult for both sides to have a good talk, so a middleman was very much needed.
Only then did Qian Renxue unwillingly nod her head, her expression even a little resentful.
What kind of shrewd people were the six great Tributes? Having experienced countless things in their lives, they instantly guessed that there was only one possibility for Qian Renxue to make such a posture: she also had a rival!
In an instant, the six great Titled Douluos looked at Shen An with unfriendliness. They were loyal to the Angel lineage, and their faith in their hearts was how devout.
Naturally, they could not sit by and watch Qian Renxue, who had hopes of becoming a god, become another’s wife and concubine along with other women.
In their view, for Shen An to be able to receive Qian Renxue’s favor was already smoke rising from his ancestral graves.
It was just that Qian Daoliu had not spoken, so they were not in a good position to overstep in this aspect.
In the end, they could only snort in unison.
Shen An instantly felt his scalp go a little numb. These were not just Titled Douluos, but also Qian Renxue’s elders.
Fortunately, Qian Daoliu spoke up. "In that case, then let it be so. But Xue’er, the divine trial is your ultimate goal. You must not slack off."
Qian Daoliu said earnestly. He very much hoped that the Qian family could produce another Seraphim. Even if he knew that the price was his life, he would not hesitate.
Qian Renxue’s pupils were blazing, like the sun in the sky, brilliant, bright, and vast.
"Grandfather need not worry. I will be this human world’s emperor, and I will also achieve the god-seat. I will surely be the most outstanding person in the Angel lineage to carry on the past and open a way for the future."
Qian Renxue’s words were calm, yet they revealed an indescribable dominance and confidence.
To be both a human world’s emperor and a god in the heavens—this was an achievement that even the first-generation Angel had not reached.
And in Qian Renxue’s mouth, it was as if it were within easy reach.
A look of gratification was revealed in the eyes of Qian Daoliu and the six great Tributes. Such a Qian Renxue would surely be able to sprinkle the glory of the Angel lineage upon the great earth.
...
Shen An had originally planned to set off the next day, but unfortunately, Qian Renxue had been staying in his room and refused to leave.
Logically speaking, ordinary girls like to pet cats, but Qian Renxue was completely indifferent to Tom. For the whole day, she was only concerned with petting him.
Don’t misunderstand. This "petting" referred to clinging to Shen An, kissing and hugging, and the like.
After getting along for these few days, Shen An had also gone from being insincere at the beginning to now calmly accepting it.
Tom: Heh, men.
In Shen An’s courtyard, a barrier was silently laid down. No Titled Douluo could, without alerting Shen An, get a glimpse of the scene inside.
Tom and Jerry propped up their beach chairs and were sunbathing in the courtyard, leisurely and at ease.
It was just that the thought that tomorrow they would have to travel a long distance with Shen An to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and they would no longer have these beautiful days, made Tom’s cat face can’t help but show a look of sorrow.
The sorrowful Tom, while peeling a banana, was watching the Qian Renxue lying in Shen An’s arms with great relish.
On the rattan chair, Qian Renxue was leaning against Shen An, appearing exceptionally lazy.
The sunlight shone on her scattered golden hair, making it shine brilliantly. Her fair face seemed to feel that the sunlight at this time was a little piercing, so her small face wrinkled slightly, and she buried it in Shen An’s embrace.
Every move was as lazy, elegant, and clingy as a cat’s.
For a time, Tom was a little confused as to who was the cat. He just blankly peeled the banana peel.
"Shen An, after you go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, go quickly and come back quickly. No delays are allowed," she said with a charming cry.
Qian Renxue was very lacking in love. Once she had confirmed that she loved someone, she would inevitably want to possess them, to have them, to be with them at all times.
She suddenly raised her head to look at Shen An, her golden pupils full of a look of reluctance.
Shen An gently hummed in agreement and also held her, enjoying this beautiful moment of the years.
Tom showed a look of envy. He also wanted a beautiful love, but the cats in this world were too ordinary.
As he thought, the banana peel in his hand was casually thrown. It should have flown towards the east.
But as it flew, the banana peel suddenly paused in the air, and then immediately realized that as a banana peel thrown by Tom, it should not fall casually.
It should... go and hit Jerry!
Thus, the banana peel, ignoring gravity, flew in the opposite direction towards Jerry. Without any deviation, it landed on Jerry’s head. The banana peel wrapped the little mouse tightly.
Thus, in the small courtyard, the cat flew and the mouse fought.
---
Shen An took Tom and Jerry to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Normally, it would take about a month.
But that was on the premise of taking a carriage and going around in circles.
If Shen An were to choose this method, it was estimated that by the time he arrived, the daylilies would have already gone cold. Bibi Dong would have long since sent people to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
So Shen An directly flew on his sword. Without considering his soul power, his speed was how fast?
He had set off from Spirit City that morning and had arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the evening.
On the way, he had incidentally taken off his disguise. Tom and Jerry had also done the same.
Night fell. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect castle.
The night was very quiet. The sound of the wind blew gently. Continuous dark clouds blocked the light of the stars and the moon.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong instantly arrived outside the sect gate, looking at the distant horizon.
They had sensed an extremely strong and sharp aura rushing over. And that aura, they were extremely familiar with.
The disciples who were originally patrolling lazily outside the castle suddenly’s spirits were lifted. Their backs couldn’t help but straighten, as if they were seriously patrolling.
Gu Rong...
Chen Xin also helplessly shook his head. There was no other way. Now, after he had fought several Titled Douluos in Spirit Hall, the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had risen even further.
It had already been regarded by many people as the head of all the sects besides Spirit Hall.
The disciples of a sect with two Douluos instinctively thought that no one would dare to come to their door. Naturally, it was inevitable that slacking off would occur.
Chen Xin thought to himself, This can’t go on. I have to persuade Fengzhi again. We must be prepared for danger in times of peace. The strength of Spirit Hall is no joke.
Soon, Shen An arrived on his sword, a longsword formed from azure qi.
After he had reached the Soul Sage realm, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass had returned to its original appearance. And his body of soul power and sword qi was even more so retractable at will, all by his will.
Gu Rong looked at the one person, one cat, and one mouse in the sky. A mischievous smile suddenly appeared in his eyes. He said, "Old scoundrel, this boy’s strength is now comparable to a level ninety-six Titled Douluo. Don’t you want to go and see? It just so happens I can also let the disciples in the sect learn a lesson."
Gu Rong’s judgment of Shen An was based on when the two had joined forces to deal with the Sky Azure Bull Python more than a month ago.
How could he have ever thought that in just one month’s time, Shen An’s combat power had undergone another heaven-and-earth-shaking change?
Chen Xin glanced at Gu Rong. The two had been companions for many years. Their tacit understanding naturally went without saying. The moment Gu Rong moved a finger, he would know what bad idea the other party had in his heart.
However, an extremely strong battle intent burned in Chen Xin’s indifferent eyes. After two years, Shen An’s growth had surprised him.
He really wanted to see how strong this youth, who had once been unable to even take an unintentional sword strike from him, was now.
A faint smile suddenly appeared on his face. He said, "Alright!"
Gu Rong also smiled slyly. Immediately, his soul power circulated, and a high-pitched voice was so obvious in the quiet night.
"Enemy—attack—"
’An enemy?’
The ears of Tom and Jerry on the longsword suddenly pricked up. They looked left and right nervously. Where was the enemy? Where was the enemy?
Unfortunately, the two of them did not know that this so-called "enemy" was themselves.
The corner of Shen An’s mouth twitched. What are you trying to do? Use me to practice?
But soon, a battle intent also rose in his heart. Then let me see how strong I am now.
The sword qi in Shen An’s body surged, like a great river flowing. In an instant, a sharp azure light rose in the dark night, like a great sun in the sky.
The patrolling disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, hearing this one shout from Gu Rong, their hearts were immediately on high alert. Immediately, they saw the ball of azure light in the sky.
"Brothers, let’s go together!"
It’s unknown which disciple had shouted this one sentence. All the disciples on the periphery rushed over one after another. Without any hesitation, all kinds of soul skills were used one after another, smashing towards Shen An.
It was just that, no matter what kind of attack soul skill, the moment it came into contact with the azure light, it would silently dissolve, without even a sound being made.
Gu Rong looked at this scene, clicking his tongue in amazement. On one hand, he was amazed at Shen An’s strength.
On the other hand, he was slightly satisfied with the reaction of the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They weren’t too bad. At least they knew to go up when they saw someone.
Immediately, Gu Rong shouted again, "All of you, get out of the way! No need to go and tell Fengzhi! Chen Xin and I can solve this person!"
Since he had let the disciples in the sect feel a sense of crisis, it was also time for them to make a move.
All the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, hearing that Gu Rong and Chen Xin were going to make a move, their morale, which had fallen slightly because they couldn’t break the defense, instantly soared.
One by one, they retreated in an orderly manner, at the same time not forgetting to look at Gu Rong and Chen Xin with reverence.
The two great guardian gods of the sect were making a move. Could there still be an enemy that couldn’t be solved?
"Solve me? Then come and try!" Shen An said to himself with a smile.
Two balls of azure qi condensed into the shape of a sword, first sending Tom and Jerry down.
Immediately, the Sword Domain unfolded. A one-grass sword intent burst forth. The sword qi around his body suddenly soared!
A powerful spiritual lock on Gu Rong. The sword qi from all four directions of the Sword Domain came one after another, condensing into a beautiful azure longsword.
"Slash!"
A sword strike without any warning fell towards Gu Rong. Its speed was so fast that Gu Rong didn’t even have the thought of breaking open space to dodge. In his haste, he could only burst out with his soul power and bombard this sword.
Rumble!!!
All the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were dumbfounded. Their guardian god, Gu Rong, had actually been split by this one sword strike and had crashed through who knows how many trees. He was in an extremely sorry state.
However, he just looked very miserable. Shen An naturally could not have dealt a fatal blow to Gu Rong.
"What a handsome sword strike," Chen Xin praised. Immediately, the Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand. Nine soul rings transformed into nine stars and landed on the Seven Kill Sword.
A vast and great killing intent firmly locked onto Shen An. He flew up and engaged in battle with him.
"It’s His Excellency the Sword Douluo who has made a move! His Excellency the Sword Douluo is the number one in attack on the continent! He will surely be able to repel the strong enemy."
"That’s right! His Excellency the Sword Douluo is the peak of the sword path! That person also uses a sword. He is definitely no match for His Excellency the Sword Douluo."
The voices of the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect rose one after another, as if they were cheering for themselves. However, they also truly believed in the Sword Douluo’s strength.
"A strong enemy?"
Ning Fengzhi, who was in his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, also sensed this one sword strike from Shen An. Without any hesitation, he rushed out of the sect.
The Seven Kill Sword and the sword qi condensed by Shen An clashed together. The longsword formed from sword qi was naturally no match for the solid Seven Kill Sword.
After a few probing moves, it had already become much more illusory. However, it was then gathered again by the sword qi, replenishing it.
Chen Xin, seeing Shen An’s young face and feeling his combat power just now, a sense of things having changed and the new generation surpassing the old rose in his heart.
He said with a smile, "Why don’t you fight me with your martial soul? And you’re not even showing your soul rings."
Hearing Chen Xin’s teasing, Shen An smiled faintly. "Senior Chen Xin, my martial soul has changed a little. You’d better be careful."
Immediately, seven soul rings rose up. Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Gold!
Chen Xin was instantly not calm. No, let’s not talk about why Shen An, who is just a Soul Sage, has such combat power.
Just this soul ring configuration, is it reasonable?
What the hell is a golden soul ring?
And, how come the first two soul rings have also turned black?
What made Chen Xin’s jaw drop even more was that Shen An’s originally beautiful longsword had actually turned into a blade of grass.
A blade of grass with nine leaves.
When fighting, for you to take out a blade of grass, logically speaking, it should be quite funny.
But Chen Xin did not show the slightest smile. On the contrary, he looked on with a grave expression.
In his eyes, how was this a blade of grass? It was clearly a peerless good sword!
No, a peerless good sword was not worthy. This was a sword that could cut through everything in the world! It was a sword with a peerless sharpness and a monstrous flame!
At this moment, the Seven Kill Sword was actually trembling. The sword cry it emitted was no longer clear and bright.
Chen Xin looked over with a complicated expression. He understood that at this moment, his old partner was not excited or agitated.
But—afraid!
The Seven Kill Sword, the king among swords, was afraid of a blade of grass in Shen An’s hand!
Chen Xin took a deep breath again. His powerful palm gripped the Seven Kill Sword even more tightly. A sword was just something held by a person.
The Seven Kill was still afraid, but he, Chen Xin, would not be!
At this moment, the battle intent of this peak of the sword path grew crazily. His body of sword intent was scorching hot and boiling, illuminating heaven and earth!
"Let’s fight!"
