A few minutes earlier, on a hidden peak at the edge of the canyon...
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood side by side, their gazes piercing through the smoke and dust, clearly seeing the fierce battle raging with energy below in the canyon.
Watching the entanglement and Fighting between multiple forces like Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang Hao and his son, and Tianxing Academy, especially seeing his daughter Ning Rongrong's Tianxing Academy deeply surrounded.
Ning Fengzhi's elegant face, at this moment, couldn't help but furrow tightly, falling into deep thought and deliberation.
He was hesitating whether to intervene in this murky situation at this moment.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the Upper Three Sects, if it rashly got involved in such a large-scale conflict, especially directly confronting Spirit Hall, the risks were enormous.
"Fengzhi, from the current situation, it seems impossible for Spirit Hall to take down Tang Chuan today."
"Unless... they have other Titled Douluo hidden who haven't made a move."
Just then, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, standing beside him, dressed in white with an aura as sharp as a sword, slowly spoke. His voice, like his sword, was clear and direct.
"Why don't we... make a move now?"
"After all, that girl Rongrong is also in Tianxing Academy. Our intervention at this time, though not exactly 'sending charcoal in the snow,' is still much better than waiting until everything settles and the storm subsides before showing goodwill."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered with light. He only hesitated for a brief moment, then nodded heavily.
In the previous situation, Tianxing Academy was at a significant disadvantage; a slight misstep could have led to the entire academy being wiped out.
But now it was different; Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo, the two Revered Elders, had already lost their combat ability.
If his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to make a move now, the outcome would be unknown.
Having reached a consensus, a glint flashed in Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes, and he said no more. The Seven Kill Sword in his hand, renowned throughout the continent, had already sensed its master's Battle Intent, emitting a clear hum!
The next second, the nine spirit rings on his body simultaneously burst into brilliant light, and then he flew off on his sword!
Thus, there was the scene just now of the Seven Kill Sword arriving through the air, shocking the entire field!
...At this moment, on the chaotic battlefield, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had also retreated in disarray to the side of Revered Elders Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo. The four stood together, facing the sudden change in the situation.
Looking at the Seven Kill Sword that had suddenly appeared, radiating endless sharpness and murderous Qi, deeply embedded in the ground as if splitting the entire battlefield in two, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed slightly. He sharply cried out, putting on a brave front:
"Chen Xin! Are you, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, also going to wade into this murky water?!"
His voice carried a threat, attempting to use Spirit Hall's power to deter the other party.
However, what answered him was an elegant figure descending from the sky like a startled swan.
It was an old man with white hair and beard, yet a stern face, eyes as sharp as swords, and a posture as straight as a pine. He lightly landed in front of the Seven Kill Sword, then extended his hand, as steady as a rock, and, as if without a trace of effort, pulled the Seven Kill Sword out of the ground.
"Wading into what murky water?"
With a cold laugh, Sword Douluo held the Seven Kill Sword, casually pointing its tip forward, his gaze calmly sweeping over Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others, his tone indifferent but with an undeniable meaning.
"My Young Miss is right here within Tianxing Academy."
"This old man is merely protecting my Young Miss and her friends... that's all."
He cleverly defined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intervention as protecting his Young Miss and her friends, taking the moral high ground rather than openly opposing Spirit Hall.
"You...!" Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo was so angered by Chen Xin's seemingly reasonable but actually forceful stance that he almost spat out another mouthful of blood. He roared:
"So, you, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, are really planning to oppose us?!"
"Aren't you afraid..."
Hearing this, Chen Xin merely moved his wrist slightly. The Sword Qi on the Seven Kill Sword pulsed, emitting a low hum. His eyes, like cold stars, stared coldly at Chrysanthemum Douluo. Although he said nothing more, his posture already made everything clear.
So what if they were?
With him here, Spirit Hall would not dare to touch Tianxing Academy a single bit today!
The atmosphere in the field, due to Sword Douluo Chen Xin's forceful intervention, once again became tense! Only this time, the scales of advantage had begun to tilt towards Tianxing Academy.
Just then, a clear and elegant voice rang out:
"Opposing what? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is merely following Emperor Xue Ye's command to protect the safety of the participating students." Ning Fengzhi emerged, holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
At this moment, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire was by his side.
However, the latter's expression was somewhat grim, clearly, he hadn't expected Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo to appear here at this moment.
Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi's figure, Thousand Jun Douluo's brow furrowed slightly.
He naturally knew the auxiliary capabilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. At this moment, Sword Douluo Chen Xin could completely be equivalent to two ninety-sixth-level Titled Douluo! If the fight continued?
However, as a Revered Elder of Spirit Hall, how could he be so arrogant and high-minded as to give up now? He was about to speak, but then saw Xue Qinghe's lips move slightly.
Immediately, his expression changed again, and then he said to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo:
"Take the people and retreat."
After speaking, the two figures flashed, transforming into two streams of light and disappearing from their original positions.
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, though somewhat bewildered, merely exchanged glances, then nodded, and immediately flashed, disappearing from their original positions.
After Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two great Titled Douluo, subtly vanished, the surrounding black-clad figures also retreated like a tide. As they withdrew, they did not forget to carry away the bodies of their companions.
They came quickly and retreated even faster; in just a few blinks of an eye, these deadly black-clad figures had already disappeared on both sides of the hill.
Just after the Spirit Hall members vanished as streams of light, a dark green figure swiftly approached from the other side of the valley; it was none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
At this moment, his hair was somewhat disheveled, and his robes were still covered with a bit of dust, clearly having just endured a bitter battle.
Seeing the newcomer, Ning Fengzhi immediately stepped forward, his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda still glowing, and apologized warmly:
"Dean Dugu Bo, I apologize. I originally wanted to rush over earlier to help you all, but I also needed to protect His Highness the Crown Prince's safety, which is why I was a bit late."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo stopped, his gaze sweeping over Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe beside him. A hint of understanding flashed across his wrinkled face; he clearly knew in his heart that this Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had definitely been observing from the sidelines until the situation became clear before making an appearance.
But he still forced a smile and said in a hoarse voice:
"Sect Master Ning, what are you saying? We are already grateful for your help. If you hadn't appeared in time, I don't think these people from Spirit Hall would have retreated."
