Chapter 188 Reflections! Man and Hammer as One
While everyone was stunned, Qin Mu was not intimidated by Chen Xin's imposing aura.
He swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, choosing to collide directly with Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword.
Neither of them chose to use their own soul skills; instead, they opted to compete using pure soul power.
Even though Qin Mu already possessed level 88 soul power and carried three 100,000-year soul rings and four 100,000-year soul bones, he was still at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
Most importantly, Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword has been honed with him for decades, and he is in a state of perfect harmony with the sword, so Qin Mu naturally cannot gain any advantage.
Qin Mu took dozens of steps back before stopping, but he did not feel angry or have any other emotions because of this.
During the previous exchange, Qin Mu finally caught that slight difference.
Chen Xin's attack not only carried his own immense soul power, but also fused his entire essence, energy, and spirit into one.
Therefore, the pressure he exerted on Qin Mu was comprehensive.
Qin Mu even had a feeling that even if his soul power surpassed Chen Xin's, he would still be no match for Chen Xin in a simple fight against Chen Xin's state of man and sword as one!
To truly understand Chen Xin's attack methods, much more verification is needed.
Raising his head, Qin Mu's gaze towards Chen Xin showed not defeat, but rather radiance.
On the other side, Chen Xin pretended to be calm on the surface, but in reality, he was filled with surprise.
Seeing the eight spirit rings on Qin Mu's body that were beyond the optimal ratio, Chen Xin's originally tentative sword strike ultimately couldn't help but add a few more points of force.
However, when the sword struck Qin Mu, Chen Xin discovered that Qin Mu did not use any techniques, but simply chose to withstand the attack with his soul power.
In the end, it seemed that Qin Mu was forced to retreat a great distance in a very disheveled state, but in reality, Chen Xin had not inflicted any substantial damage on Qin Mu.
Although Chen Xin himself did not intend to harm Qin Mu, it was definitely not normal for Qin Mu to be so relaxed.
A skilled attacker will not ignore his opponent's attack; decades of rich combat experience allow him to sense the intensity of the opponent's attack from the slightest clues.
The most terrifying thing was that Chen Xin actually felt a strange pressure on Qin Mu's Clear Sky Hammer.
How could an eight-ring Soul Master pose a threat to me?
If he hadn't just experienced it, he wouldn't have believed it no matter who told him.
Suppressing his surprise, Chen Xin originally wanted to stop his attack and report the information he had just gathered to Ning Fengzhi, but he found that Qin Mu on the other side showed no sign of stopping.
"I have long heard that Sword Douluo is the number one attack titled Douluo on the continent. I, Qin Mu, would like to learn a few moves from Sword Douluo. I humbly request that Sword Douluo bestow his guidance!"
After saying that, Qin Mu didn't care whether Sword Douluo agreed or not, and charged towards Sword Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
On the other side, after Bone Douluo knocked Ling Yuan back with one blow, Ling Yuan's expression couldn't help but turn somewhat annoyed.
Regardless of their motives, the two of them came to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect overcome its difficulties.
But the moment the two sides met, the other party attacked them without even asking what happened. Is this how you treat a guest?!
A hint of anger flashed in Ling Yuan's eyes, and her moves suddenly became extremely fierce.
Faced with Ling Yuan's attack, Bone Douluo naturally dared not underestimate it. After several attempts to defend against it, Bone Douluo's face gradually became somewhat solemn.
He hadn't expected Ling Yuan's attack to be so powerful, exceeding his expectations.
If this continues, he will surely be defeated by Ling Yuan.
Fortunately, his task was only to intercept the spirit kite.
On the other hand, Ling Yuan also found it very difficult to deal with Bone Douluo, who was a defensive titled Douluo.
However, she soon realized that something was wrong.
Even if Bone Douluo is not good at attacking, he shouldn't be completely powerless to fight back.
Ling Yuan slowed her attack slightly, and Bone Douluo also slowed down in line with her pace.
Later on, the battle between Ling Yuan and Bone Douluo seemed like a theatrical performance.
Now, Ling Yuan understood.
Since the other party had no intention of fighting, Ling Yuan was too lazy to make a move and simply stopped and looked in Qin Mu's direction.
As long as Qin Mu is alright, there's no need for her to keep pretending with Bone Douluo.
At the same time, Qin Mu's Clear Sky Hammer also smashed towards Sword Douluo.
Faced with Qin Mu's attack, Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes and, after finding the right moment, thrust out with his sword.
The Seven Kill Sword struck the center of Qin Mu's Clear Sky Hammer with perfect accuracy.
The attacks, which seemed disproportionate, were balanced in Chen Xin's hands.
Qin Mu wasn't surprised by this.
If he were to be so easily defeated by Qin Mu, as the number one attack titled Douluo on the continent, then he would not be worthy of being the guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Qin Mu took two steps back, and a strong killing intent suddenly erupted from his body.
The Domain of the God of Slaughter!
Since acquiring the God of Slaughter Domain, Qin Mu has rarely used it.
It's not that the God of Slaughter Domain is useless, but compared to that, the Gravity Domain, which has many overlapping states, is more convenient.
Qin Mu had always followed the path of overcoming all laws with sheer force, but only now did he realize that his essence, energy, spirit, and soul power could be perfectly integrated and become a considerable fighting force.
While the Titan's Hammer possesses formidable attack power, it only affects soul power.
The Heaven and Earth Hammer is the most comprehensive and destructive of Qin Mu's moves, but that is only because it relies on Qin Mu's extraordinary soul power and spiritual strength.
The Heaven and Earth Hammer is able to fuse together primarily because of the shared attributes of the Clear Sky Hammer Intent and the Clear Sky Hammer itself, rather than because of the fusion of the essence, energy, spirit, and martial soul of someone like Chen Xin.
If he could perfectly integrate his essence, energy, spirit, and soul power, reaching the state of unity between man and hammer like Chen Xin, then Qin Mu believed that even without any substantial changes, the power of his soul skills would be further enhanced!
With this in mind, Qin Mu also began to try to gradually integrate the God of Slaughter Domain with the Clear Sky Hammer.
The moment the God of Slaughter Domain appeared, the Sword Douluo's expression changed slightly.
He was familiar with the God of Slaughter Domain, but he never expected that Qin Mu would have such a trump card.
Chen Xin also possesses a domain, but facing a junior who is much younger than himself, and since it's not a life-or-death battle, Chen Xin doesn't need to take it so seriously.
With the Seven Kill Sword held upright in front of him, Chen Xin closed his eyes, his entire aura completely merging with the Seven Kill Sword.
To outsiders, they could not sense Chen Xin at all; they could only feel the chilling Seven Kill Sword!
Seeing the changes in Chen Xin, Qin Mu finally grasped that sliver of understanding, and then slowly closed his eyes.
A natural aura emanated from Qin Mu.
At this moment, those with some strength present all turned their shocked gazes toward Qin Mu.
Because in their perception, Qin Mu had gradually disappeared.
Only the immense aura of the Clear Sky Hammer continued to emanate!
