……

A clear, resonant sound of a blade suddenly echoed through the sky, containing a rhythm that penetrated the soul.

The next instant, in the sky directly in front of Ming Xingyun, scorching energy gathered wildly, and countless sharp blades of light intertwined, overlapped, and rotated, instantly condensing into a gigantic, eerie-colored, deep red lotus of purgatory that was unlike anything in the mortal world.

As soon as the red lotus took shape, without the slightest pause, as the lotus petals unfolded and contracted, the sword intent and flames instantly collapsed and condensed.

It transformed into a massive blade of light capable of splitting heaven and earth, burning the void, and containing endless destruction and annihilation, slashing down towards Ming Xingyun, who had just begun his ascent.

At the same time, a clear, melodious female voice, tinged with a sense of vicissitude, pierced through the surging, energetic roar:

"The Three Deadly Blades of Hell - First Blade: Crimson Lotus in Full Bloom!"

As the blade fell with a resounding thud, the heavens and earth seemed to hear the mournful cries of the deepest hell!
It is the embodiment of the desolate aura contained within the blade's edge that exerts a powerful pressure on the spiritual level.

"What?!" Ming Xingyun's expression changed drastically in an instant!

At this critical moment of life and death, he dared not hold back any longer!

Suddenly, the dark, gleaming soul bone on his right arm shone with a deep black light, and surging soul power poured into it without reservation.

"Right Arm Soul Bone Skill - Soul-Devouring Black Light!"

A jet-black beam of light, condensed to its extreme and resembling a black hole ray, suddenly erupted from his right arm, meeting the terrifying karmic fire blade's aura head-on.

boom--! ! ! !

The Soul-Devouring Black Mango was indeed powerful, withstanding the ferocious slashes of the Karmic Fire Burning Blade. However, the terrifying impact and burning power contained in the blade's aura also caused its Soul-Devouring Black Aura to violently fluctuate, its light dimming and almost dissipating.

Before Ming Xingyun could catch his breath, the clear, cold female voice rang out again, like a death knell:
"Second Strike - Blazing Inferno!"

hum!
Almost at the same moment the first strike ended, the remaining force of the karmic fire blade light suddenly changed, transforming from a vertical slash into dozens of blazing lotus petal blade energies that spun and annihilated the already dissipating Soul-Devouring Black Light.

The remaining power of the lotus petal blade energy had not yet dissipated when it slammed into Ming Xingyun's Black Nightmare Battle Armor, which was now shrouded in black light again. The impact caused him to stagger backward, and the armor's light dimmed once more!
In the instant he lost his footing, the female voice, carrying the weight of supreme judgment, had already delivered its verdict:

"Third Strike - Styx Severing Life!"

There was no prelude whatsoever!

A massive blade of light, even larger and more refined than the previous two, its color almost a dark, deep purple, emanated a deathly aura that extinguished all life. Silent yet incredibly fast, it traversed a short distance and struck Ming Xingyun, who had just regained his footing and didn't even have time to catch his breath.

*Whoosh—* Rumble!!!

This time, nothing can stop us!

The heavy, dark Nightmare Armor let out a mournful cry of despair the moment it was struck by the blade's edge, and the black light flowing across it was completely extinguished.

The blade's edge tore a shocking gash in his sturdy armor, and the terrifying blade energy, carrying karmic fire and deathly power, slashed fiercely into Ming Xingyun's flesh.

Stab it!

Blood gushed from the enormous wound, which ran diagonally from the left chest to the right abdomen, so deep that the bone was visible.

Ming Xingyun couldn't even let out a scream as he was violently cleaved away by the terrifying impact of the fatal blow, crashing heavily into the rubble and ruins behind him.

slam-la-

Dust and smoke filled the air, and gravel rolled around.

Ming Xingyun struggled to prop himself up on one side, kneeling amidst the mess.

His face was as pale as paper, and blood gushed from the huge wound on his chest, staining the ruins beneath him red.

He suddenly looked up, and another mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out, splattering onto the ground in a glaring red. He stared intently at the figure standing in mid-air where the dust had settled.

Only then did she reveal her true appearance, her imposing face bearing a hint of coldness, and in her hand she held a long sword burning with red and purple flames.

It was that woman who had been following Chen Zhang before—the female accountant!

Shock and disbelief instantly overwhelmed Ming Xingyun.

original!

That makes sense. How could someone who followed Chen Zhang, Li Xunhuan, Zhu Yanfeng, and Xia Yun deep into the lion's den be a simple character?

Previously, the female accountant's skillful knowledge of clothing and financial techniques had misled him, causing him to overlook her.

She was the one who ambushed him, the real one who laid the trap, not some titled figure he thought was about to appear.

Everyone else is just dragging him down, holding him back, and hurting him.

And she, gathering her strength, calming her mind, and refining the Three Deadly Blades of Hell!

A colossal mistake! A fatal oversight!
"Pfft—" Another mouthful of blood gushed out, and Ming Xingyun roared hoarsely, "You're from the Ximen family! Who are you?! When did the Ximen family... produce a... female Douluo?!"

Above, a woman holding a knife stood coldly looking down and uttered a few clear, icy words: "Red Lotus Douluo—Ximen Wenlan."

At that moment, on the other side of the ruins, Li Xunhuan clutched his chest, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and couldn't help but shout, "Mother!"

At this shout, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Ming Xingyun's cloudy eyes, and some long-forgotten names and information instantly connected: "Ximen Wenlan...you are the Red Lotus Maiden?!"

He remembered now, Ximen Wenlan, Ximen Wenhua's younger sister, who had disappeared for decades... It turned out she had married into the Li family.

The Chen family initially promised the Yang family and the Ximen family each a precious opportunity to break through to a higher title. The Yang family gave their spot to Yang Zhiqiang, but the allocation of the Ximen family's spot remains an open question.

At that time, there were no level 89 peak Soul Douluo among the direct bloodline of the Ximen family.

Only Ximen Wenlan, who married into the Li family, is the closest in strength and has the best chance.

Such top experts are not common; it's good enough if each major family can have even one within a certain period of time.

At this stage, the Chen family only has Chen Wenchao.

However, the title is extremely prestigious, and even ancient families would not dare to underestimate it.

Since Ximen Wenlan was already a member of the Li family, there had been a brief and minor controversy within the clan about whether or not to give her the spot.

In the end, the patriarch, Ximen Xiaoran, made the decision to award the spot to his daughter, Ximen Wenlan.

The old patriarch saw things clearly: the quota was limited and could not be delayed.

For others, it will be at least five or six years later, by which time it will be too late.

Having another Title Douluo in the family at this stage is a real boost to their strength, no matter where she is, and it will greatly benefit the family's overall power and influence.

Moreover, Ximen Wenlan is located in the central district of Tiandou in the North. If she can achieve a title, she will not only become a powerful figure herself, but also greatly strengthen the Ximen family's presence and influence in the core area of ​​the empire, thus expanding the family's foundation.

No matter what, the Li family is an important branch of the Ximen family.

As for "recommending the virtuous without avoiding relatives"? Ximen Xiaoran didn't care at all.

Given the strong relationship between the Ximen and Chen families, as long as they make greater contributions in the future, they can still expect to secure more spots.

Right now, the fundamental thing is to focus on immediate benefits and enhance hard power!
