Chapter 189 Perfect Fusion! Sword Douluo Suffers a Minor Defeat!
On the other side, Ning Fengzhi frowned, while Ning Rongrong kept tugging at Ning Fengzhi's sleeve.
Ignoring Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, though not a battle spirit master and not very familiar with these combat techniques, still had some insight as the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the three upper sects.
Ning Fengzhi immediately recognized the difference in Qin Mu's move, which seemed to have a similar effect to Sword Douluo's.
But he wasn't quite sure why.
But when Bone Douluo saw Qin Mu like this, his eyes widened in surprise.
As a colleague of Sword Douluo for decades, he knew how much effort Sword Douluo had put in and how much time he had spent to finally reach such a level.
But how could Bone Douluo not be shocked that a young man of about twenty years old was using a technique that he had only comprehended after years of training with Sword Douluo?
Ling Yuan stood beside Bone Douluo, looking completely unconcerned. She even showed a hint of disdain when she saw the surprise on Bone Douluo's face.
Having accompanied Qin Mu for many years, Ling Yuan knew that Qin Mu's talent was far beyond everyone's comprehension.
She only grasped the essence of Sword Douluo's unity with his sword during the battle, which was terrifying, but far less shocking than what Qin Mu had given her back then.
You should know that Qin Mu only read the "Breaking Word Technique" once before he learned one of the Clear Sky Sect's proudest Nine Absolute Techniques!
Sword Douluo's mastery of the unity of man and sword is certainly strong, but how can it compare to the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Nine Absolute Techniques?
The most surprised person was Sword Douluo himself.
Generally speaking, once a person enters a state of perfect harmony with their sword, no external interference can disturb the Sword Douluo's state of mind.
But the current situation is different.
Qin Mu's current state is almost exactly the same as Sword Douluo's, so how could Sword Douluo not be surprised?
With his mind distracted, Sword Douluo's state of perfect harmony between man and sword instantly crumbled by more than half.
Qin Mu, seemingly unaware of Sword Douluo's unusual behavior, waited until his aura completely merged with the Clear Sky Hammer before suddenly taking a step forward.
Qin Mu, who was dozens of steps away, arrived in front of Sword Douluo in the blink of an eye.
Accompanying him was Qin Mu's Clear Sky Hammer.
Sword Douluo was completely unaware of the existence of the Clear Sky Hammer, but his eyes had already seen the Clear Sky Hammer held high above his head.
The Seven Kill Sword was thrust out again, but this time the attack lacked the unity of man and sword, and was far inferior to Qin Mu's Clear Sky Hammer in both momentum and power.
Moreover, Qin Mu's attacks were almost filled with terrifying killing intent!
This is Qin Mu integrating the God of Slaughter Domain into his attack.
The original domain skill was centered on the user, releasing a certain range of killing intent, using the powerful aura to increase the user's attack power, and weakening the opponent to a certain extent.
Now that Qin Mu has contained his God of Slaughter Domain, his original killing intent is hidden within the Clear Sky Hammer.
Although the range has been reduced considerably, every time Qin Mu launches an attack, his attack will be accompanied by an even more powerful force.
The target being attacked will also be further weakened by the stronger aura emanating from it.
With their strengths and weaknesses shifting, their attacks eventually collided.
Sword Douluo's body trembled slightly, clearly having suffered a minor setback under Qin Mu's attack.
However, as a veteran in the world of soul masters, he was unwilling to show his displeasure in front of so many people, even if he suffered a setback.
With his powerful soul force, Sword Douluo managed to withstand Qin Mu's hammer blow.
But soon, before Sword Douluo could even catch his breath, Qin Mu's second hammer had already come crashing down.
This time, Qin Mu's attack seemed somewhat mediocre compared to the previous strike, but the attack power it contained was even greater than the previous strike!
Upon seeing this, Sword Douluo's expression changed again, seemingly surprised that Qin Mu had grasped the essence in such a short time.
Facing Qin Mu's second hammer blow, Sword Douluo once again swung the Seven Kill Sword, but this time it was a horizontal slash instead of a thrust.
The sword and hammer clashed, producing a metallic clang. Although Sword Douluo managed to maintain his balance, his body sank slightly due to Qin Mu's attack.
If you look closely, you'll see that Sword Douluo's feet are now deeply embedded in the ground.
Faced with Qin Mu's two consecutive blows, even with Sword Douluo's current state, he was already showing signs of being overwhelmed.
If he doesn't find an opportunity soon, he'll probably suffer a major setback at Qin Mu's hands.
He twirled the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, then held it upright in front of him.
Instantly, Sword Douluo himself merged with the Seven Kill Sword once again.
However, this time the aura was much coarser than the last time, and even the aura of Sword Douluo was occasionally released.
"Not good! This bastard's mind is in disarray; in such a hasty state, he can't possibly achieve the unity of man and sword!"
"If we keep this up, that kid is probably going to get himself into trouble!"
As the person who knows Sword Douluo best in the world, Bone Douluo could tell at a glance what Sword Douluo was like now.
Bone Douluo's mutterings were clearly heard by Ling Yuan, who was standing nearby.
Hearing that even the renowned Sword Douluo might suffer a setback at Qin Mu's hands, Ling Yuan felt inexplicably relieved, and her dissatisfaction with them also diminished considerably.
As Sword Douluo had predicted, Qin Mu's third hammer came crashing down as well.
Compared to the first two blows, the third blow can only be described as mediocre.
Anyone who sees this hammer will instinctively think that it has no offensive power at all.
Unless one is a top expert on the continent, no one would be able to detect anything unusual.
Sword Douluo is one of the top powerhouses.
Upon seeing Qin Mu's third hammer blow, Sword Douluo's expression finally broke down, turning instantly grim.
Ignoring his own poor condition, Sword Douluo slashed out with his sword.
With this sword strike, Sword Douluo didn't treat Qin Mu as a twenty-year-old junior at all, but rather as a master of equal caliber.
Therefore, the place where he slashed with his sword was also very skillful. He did not attack the hammerhead of Qin Mu's Clear Sky Hammer as he did last time, but chose a place where the force was relatively weak, the junction of the hammerhead and the hammer handle.
Clang—
The Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword collided violently. The spiritual power and killing intent contained in the Clear Sky Hammer instantly made Sword Douluo's face show difficulty.
Sword Douluo never imagined that he would one day meet a soul master who could combine his various abilities so perfectly.
Such a soul master is only a twenty-year-old young man!
Since neither side used their full strength, this attack did not cause any casualties.
But to everyone's surprise, after the collision, Qin Mu remained standing in place, his body completely unaffected.
In contrast, Sword Douluo was actually forced to take two steps back after this collision!
