Death Grip
At the moment when Zhang Yifan launched a major attack on the Ye Family, Xing Chen and the others had already gathered outside in Mountain Valley.
"Everyone, is everyone here?" Xing Chen scanned the people present and slowly spoke.
"The Helmsman’s people are all here, we can now reclaim the Elemental Stone Vein," Chen Li said after looking around.
The Elemental Stone Vein was located within this Mountain Valley. Originally, this Elemental Stone Vein had always been occupied by Starry Branch, but during the time Starry Branch left, it was seized by the Zhang Family, who sent many people to mine the elemental stones within.
"Good, since everyone is here, it’s time for the Zhang Family to pay the price," a glint of cold light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes. "Ling, take a portion of people to guard here and prevent anyone from entering Mountain Valley. The rest will come with me to reclaim the Elemental Stone Vein. As for those inside, kill them all—no survivors. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Helmsman!" everyone replied in unison. Xing Chen then assigned a portion of people to Ling to guard here while the others followed Xing Chen into Mountain Valley.
"Helmsman, there are quite a few Zhang Family spies in Mountain Valley. Should we eliminate them?" Chen Li asked Xing Chen.
"No need. Even if they know, what can they do? It’s obviously impossible for them to send messages outside. As for notifying those inside... even if they do, what difference does it make? In the face of absolute power, any resistance is futile; we just need to fight our way through," Xing Chen sneered and then slowly spoke.
The strength of the Zhang Family was originally inferior to that of Starry Branch, and those stationed at the Elemental Stone Vein were even less capable of resisting Starry Branch's forces. Although Zhang Yifan had brought back many strong individuals, they were currently attacking the Ye Family and could not spare any effort. Therefore, the Zhang Family could not defend the Elemental Stone Vein.
"Elder, bad news! The people from Starry Branch have arrived, and almost all their strong individuals are here..." A disciple of the Zhang Family rushed into the Elemental Stone Vein in a panic.
"What’s going on? Speak slowly," said Zhang Mingda, the Third Elder of the Zhang Family stationed at the Elemental Stone Vein. His strength was at the Mid Stage of Earth Soul Realm. Upon seeing the panicked disciple rush in, his expression changed slightly, but he still forced himself to remain calm.
"Elder, the strong individuals from Starry Branch have mobilized and are now outside Mountain Valley. They are about to break in," said the anxious Zhang Family disciple.
"Starry Branch? They actually still have energy to attack us? Go quickly and seek help from the family," Zhang Mingda's expression changed as he hurriedly instructed.
"The elders are useless; their people have already blocked the exit. Moreover, I heard that the family is currently launching a full-scale attack on the Ye Family. Even if we call for help, they won't be able to spare anyone to come here!" At this moment, the disciple of the Zhang Family spoke with a hint of tears in his voice.
"Damn it, we were too careless. We thought that after seeing the current strength of the Zhang Family, the Starry Branch wouldn't covet this Elemental Stone Vein anymore. I never expected that at this time, they would dare to send all their strong fighters to attack here." Zhang Mingda slammed his palm on the armrest of his chair, his old face filled with anger.
Initially, the people of the Zhang Family believed that the Starry Branch wouldn't attack here when both sides were evenly matched, so they only sent a Third Elder to guard this place. Little did they know that just a short while later, the people from the Starry Branch would come attacking.
"Elder, let's escape quickly! Are we just going to wait here to die?" The disciple of the Zhang Family looked pale as he stared at Zhang Mingda, clearly having no hope of holding this place.
"Escape? What a joke! The Starry Branch is launching a massive assault, and this Mountain Valley's only exit has been blocked by their people. We can't rely on the family either; what hope do we have left?" Zhang Mingda shouted angrily.
"This... this..." The disciple of the Zhang Family turned even paler upon hearing this, as any remaining glimmer of hope in his eyes was extinguished.
"Master Chen, how much longer until we reach the range of the Elemental Stone Vein?" Xing Chen asked slowly as he looked at a dead disciple of the Zhang Family ahead. Along the way, they had encountered numerous disciples from the Zhang Family, all of whom had been discovered and killed by Xing Chen and his group. The strongest among them had reached the early stage of Human Soul Realm, while the weakest had at least reached Refining Body Ninth Level.
"Helmsman, right ahead is the Elemental Stone Vein. The strongest here is Zhang Mingda, the Third Elder of the Zhang Family. However, he is only at Mid Stage of Earth Soul Realm; it shouldn't be difficult to take him down," Chen Li replied after a moment's contemplation.
"Mid Stage of Earth Soul Realm? His strength is decent, but regardless of his power level, he will undoubtedly die today," Xing Chen said with a flash of killing intent in his eyes before continuing forward.
The Elemental Stone Vein is a place where elemental stones are produced. Besides increasing one's cultivation speed, elemental stones also serve as currency in this world. One can imagine how important an Elemental Stone Vein is to a force; this is also why the Zhang Family is unwilling to return the Elemental Stone Vein to the Starry Branch.
"That person must be in charge of the Zhang Family here," Xing Chen said slowly as dozens of people appeared ahead and blocked their path.
"That's right; this is Zhang Mingda, the Third Elder of the Zhang Family," Chen Li nodded after glancing at him.
"Chen Li, what do you mean by bringing people to my Zhang Family's Elemental Stone Vein?" Zhang Mingda shouted loudly as he looked at Xing Chen and others. He didn't recognize Xing Chen but was familiar with Chen Li since he was the Vice Leader of Starry Branch and had met him several times. However, very few knew Xing Chen's true identity; only Zhang Yifan and the head of the Zhang Family were aware.
"Hey, Zhang Mingda, you really have some nerve! When you said you would return the Elemental Stone Vein to the Zhang Family, didn't you feel embarrassed?" Chen Li mocked with a smile.
Zhang Mingda paused slightly; Chen Li was right. If one were to trace it back, this Elemental Stone Vein actually belonged to the Starry Branch and had nothing to do with his Zhang Family. However, it was true that the mine was currently under the control of the Zhang Family, so technically, Zhang Mingda wasn't wrong.
"Hmph, this Elemental Stone Vein is now mine and belongs to the Zhang Family. What do you mean by bringing people here?" Zhang Mingda said coldly.
Although Zhang Mingda knew very well what the other party's intentions were, in this situation, it was best to delay as long as possible.
"Don't you know our intentions? We are here to take back what belongs to us, and you and your Zhang Family will have to pay for what you've done," Chen Li said with a sinister smile. He continued, "Also! Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue; your Zhang Family is busy fighting with the Ye Family and has no time to care about you here. So if you are sensible, just surrender quietly!"
"Pah! You think you can make me surrender? Dream on! Chen Li, even if I die today, I will drag you down with me," Zhang Mingda shouted angrily.
"Alright, no need for useless chatter with him. Although this matter is almost certain, dragging it out won't do any good. Let's just get started!" Xing Chen said with a slight frown before speaking calmly.
"Yes, Helmsman." Chen Li nodded slightly and then waved his hand. Behind him, over a hundred disciples from the Starry Branch charged forward. After a slight change in expression, Zhang Mingda also gritted his teeth and fought against the crowd from the Starry Branch.
"I'll take care of this old rascal; the rest of you deal with the others. Remember, not a single one can escape," Xing Chen said as he flexed his wrist, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes as he slowly walked toward Zhang Mingda.
"Get lost! If you're brave enough, call that bastard Chen Li out for a one-on-one!" Zhang Mingda said darkly as he looked at Xing Chen standing before him.
"Hmph..." Xing Chen sneered coldly. His eyes flashed with cold light as he kicked toward Zhang Mingda. The kick was like thunder, incredibly fast, leaving Zhang Mingda no time to react.
Bang!
Seeing the incoming kick, Zhang Mingda could only raise his arm to block it in front of his chest. He immediately felt a tremendous force coming from his arm and was kicked back several steps. His gaze toward Xing Chen also became slightly serious.
“Human Soul Realm You dare to attack me at the early stage, and even managed to push me back. That's quite impressive! However, this is where it ends for you.” As soon as Zhang Mingda finished speaking, his figure blurred, and a fierce wind suddenly surged from behind Xing Chen.
Xing Chen moved slightly, shifting his body to the right just enough to narrowly avoid the punch coming from behind. Then, he took a step back, increasing the distance between them. At the same time, a blood-red light gathered between his palms, forming an indistinct Blood Seal that churned like an Angry Dragon.
Seven Killing Blood Seal!
Xing Chen thrust his palm forward, and at that moment, a thick aura of bloodlust and killing intent instantly spread outwards from Xing Chen, causing anyone who felt this power to change their expression and retreat hastily. Even the strong from the Earth Soul Realm looked over with serious expressions.
Roar—
It seemed as if a Dragon Roar echoed in the air, and then the Blood Seal shot out from Xing Chen's palm towards Chen Mingda.
“What is this?” Chen Mingda's expression changed slightly, as if he recognized Xing Chen's martial arts. Suddenly, golden light erupted from Zhang Mingda, and without dodging, he directly punched towards the Blood Seal.
Boom!
The two collided, creating a powerful shockwave that spread out rapidly. Those nearby were instantly pushed back by the force of the wave, and those whose cultivation had not reached the Soul Refinement Realm even spat out mouthfuls of blood.
“The Seven Killing Blood Seal truly lives up to its name. However, if that's all you've got, then it's simply wishful thinking for you to defeat me.” At this moment, Zhang Mingda's voice slowly came through, indicating that he had not suffered any serious injuries from this attack.
