Death Grip
“Ninefold Thunder Palm……” The rich purple light in Xing Chen's eyes flickered continuously, as if he held countless thunders in his palm. He suddenly thrust his hand forward, and a massive illusory palm print collided fiercely with the descending sword shadow.
Boom!
Accompanied by a violent roar, the ground around them trembled, cracking open instantly. In the air, purple lightning and blood-red light intertwined continuously, while a terrifying hurricane surged outward.
“Puff…” Xing Chen spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, but the purple light in his eyes grew even more intense, showing no signs of retreat from the enormous hand in the sky.
“I wonder how long you can hold on.” Yang Xingguang coldly watched the struggling Xing Chen, a faint sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth as he pressed down harder with his sword.
Bang!
The ground beneath Xing Chen's feet suddenly exploded. As Yang Xingguang's power continued to increase, Xing Chen's body sank deeply into the ground. However, he did not utter a single word throughout; despite suffering continuous injuries, he ultimately withstood Yang Xingguang's strike.
“To withstand my sword with your Human Soul Realm strength is something to be proud of, but this is where it ends for you.” Yang Xingguang looked at Xing Chen and slowly said: “Seven Killing Sword Technique——God-Slaying Strike!”
Without further delay, Yang Xingguang unleashed the third sword of the Seven Killing Sword Technique, intending to kill Xing Chen in one blow.
“Calm!” Just as Yang Xingguang was about to execute the third sword, God-Slaying Strike, the purple light in Xing Chen's eyes suddenly transformed into brilliant silver. Immediately, an extremely powerful sense of oppression descended upon Yang Xingguang. This pressure targeted his very soul; in that instant, Yang Xingguang felt as if a great mountain had suddenly pressed down on him from deep within his soul. The heavy pressure not only prevented him from executing the God-Slaying Strike, but also forcibly pulled him out of the state of unity between man and sword.
“What kind of power is this?” Yang Xingguang looked at Xing Chen in shock. This power was too mysterious; it could suppress his soul, preventing him from unleashing powerful sword techniques or entering the state of unity with his sword.
“Lend me your sword.” Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Xing Chen then spoke to Xu Yuxi behind him.
This time, because he was attending the gathering of the Third Prince, Xing Chen did not bring the Lonely Star Sword with him and had to borrow Xu Yuxi's sword.
Xu Yuxi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly threw the sword in his hand to Xing Chen.
"Starlight Overwhelming—" Xing Chen received the long sword, a cold light flashing in his eyes. In an instant, he stomped his foot, and his figure soared into the air. The long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light with his swing, a brilliance that even overshadowed the sun in the sky.
At that moment, everyone involuntarily closed their eyes slightly. However, in the next moment, Yang Xingguang opened his eyes. At the same time, Soul Power surged out fiercely, but he strangely found that his Soul Power could only extend a mere ten meters. A hint of anxiety appeared in his eyes. Just then, the blinding light in the air slowly dissipated, and his Soul Power could be released again.
"Damn it, I actually got played by that guy!" Yang Xingguang looked at the empty street around him, where not even half a figure remained. Frustrated, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Xing Chen! You cowardly bastard better not let me see you..."
"What should we do now?" At this moment, Hong Qizhi walked over and asked. He had just been momentarily dazed by the intense light of Starlight Overwhelming, and by the time he regained his senses, Yuer, who was fighting him, had long since vanished.
"Hmph, you can run away from a monk but not from the temple. We'll go wait for him at his branch. If he doesn't return to the branch, we'll have Starry Branch expelled here." Yang Xingguang snorted darkly and turned to head toward Starry Branch.
...
On another side, after Xing Chen and the others shook off the two powerful Soul Realm experts, they did not return to Starry Branch but went to Ye Family. Xing Chen knew that right now, Ye Family was the only safe place in Star City; other locations like Starry Branch or Star Inn where Xu Yuxi and others were located were no longer safe. The only secure place was Ye Family.
Although there was only one early-stage Soul Realm person at Ye Family—the Third Prince—he carried a large number of Thunderfire Bombs. Just based on this point alone, Zhang Family would not dare to attack here easily.
"Young Master Chen, are you alright?" Seeing blood continuously oozing from Xing Chen's mouth, Yuer asked with concern on her delicate face.
"I'm not dead yet. However, I truly didn't expect Zhang Family would dare to send people to ambush us halfway; I'm afraid others are not much better off than us," Xing Chen said weakly as he coughed a few times. "Zhang Family's preemptive strike caught us all off guard; this time our operation against Zhang Family is likely to be completely declared a failure."
"Why are we going to Ye Family? Is that Third Prince really trustworthy?" At this moment, Xu Yuxi asked from the side.
"We have no choice left; other places definitely cannot withstand the attack of the Zhang Family. Only here can be considered a safe place." A hint of bitterness appeared on Xing Chen's face. He was truly cornered this time. With his strength, he was simply not enough to deal with the Zhang Family. If Plaque were still around, there might have been a chance, but now Plaque had already transformed into a force that merged into his body, making it impossible for him to unleash such great power as he did last time in Azure Cloud City.
"Young Master Chen, I also think that Third Prince is a bit strange. Why don't we just avoid going to the Ye Family?" Yuer spoke up at this moment. Although the Third Prince had been good before, who knew if he would take this opportunity to kick them when they were down.
"What do you think we should do?" Xing Chen glanced at the two of them; after all, he was already at his wit's end and had no other options.
Xu Yuxi and the other person fell silent at Xing Chen's question. Indeed, Xing Chen was right; there really was no other way out. Although she had brought many strong members of the Eastern Sun Gang, those people were at Star Inn, and given the current situation, they would likely be ambushed before they even reached Star Inn.
"What about Luo Tong?" At that moment, Xu Yuxi suddenly realized that Luo Tong was missing and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"He probably ran away long ago. People like Luo Tong care most about their own lives, so he must have taken the opportunity to escape while we were fighting," Xing Chen replied without thinking.
"Damn it, I really don't understand why my father would take such a person as an adopted son," Xu Yuxi said angrily.
"Of course, it's because he recognized his talent. Although I don't particularly like Luo Tong, I have to admit that his talent is indeed astonishing," Xing Chen said weakly, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth as he spoke.
"You're hurt so badly; you shouldn't talk anymore," Xu Yuxi said with a hint of concern in her eyes as she looked at Xing Chen.
"I'm not dead yet. I won't let today's matter go just like this; I will make them pay the price," Xing Chen's eyes gleamed with cold light, and a chilling killing intent radiated from him.
"You still hold grudges like this. However, you should first think about how to escape this calamity!" Xu Yuxi shook her head and said. Xing Chen's tendency to hold grudges remained unchanged from before.
"Xing Chen Helmsman? What happened to you? How did it come to this?" At this moment, Xing Chen and the others had arrived at the Ye Family's entrance. However, before they could enter through the main gate, it was opened, and seeing Xing Chen and the others, the Third Prince who was about to leave couldn't help but pause and quickly asked.
"It was just a few rats blocking our way; Third Prince need not worry too much. However, I think others should be in no better condition than us, so it would be best for you to take a look," Xing Chen said lightly as he looked at the Third Prince.
"Zhang Family actually dared to ambush you halfway? Xing Chen Helmsman, don't worry, I will send someone to check immediately. We will definitely rescue them." The Third Prince showed an expression of anger and then shouted, "Come here, quickly take Xing Chen Helmsman to recover."
"Yes, Your Highness." As soon as the Third Prince finished speaking, several disciples from the Ye Family stepped forward respectfully.
"Xing Chen Helmsman, please!" One of the Ye Family disciples stepped forward and said in a cold voice, while the Third Prince was already leading people to rescue others from different factions.
Xing Chen glanced at the person who spoke and then silently walked forward. However, Xu Yuxi, who was beside him, knew that Xing Chen was holding a grudge. Every time Xing Chen looked at someone like that, it meant he remembered that person and would definitely seek revenge in the future.
Soon, they were taken to a courtyard, and after bringing Xing Chen and the others there, the few Ye Family disciples left without saying another word, except for the initial exchange with Xing Chen.
"It seems we are not very popular here!" Xu Yuxi remarked as he watched the departing Ye Family disciples.
"That's quite normal. If they welcomed me, that would be truly strange!" Xing Chen replied lightly. After all, he had extorted a considerable sum from the Ye Family, so it was already quite good that they didn't kick him out, let alone greet him with smiles.
"Regardless, we have temporarily escaped a disaster, and you can rest assured to recover now." A smile appeared on Xu Yuxi's face.
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple; that Third Prince seems a bit off." Xing Chen said, his gaze flickering slightly.
