Death Grip
Xing Chen moved slightly underfoot, avoiding the spreading aftershocks, his gaze fixed tightly on the opposite Dan Tai Hong Zhen.
At this moment, Dan Tai Hong Zhen's expression was dark, his arm charred black, and his eyes revealed a look of shock and fury. It was unimaginable that a formidable Soul Realm expert like him could be so severely injured by someone at the early stage of Earth Soul Realm. The anger in his heart was evident.
However, Xing Chen was not in a good position either. First struck by lightning, then directly hit by Dan Tai Hong Zhen's Annihilation Technique, his right arm was continuously bleeding, and he no longer had the strength to lift it.
"Damn Rascal..." As soon as Dan Tai Hong Zhen opened his mouth, his face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Inside him, the thunder raged; even the slightest movement would trigger the lightning power within.
Xing Chen stood quietly at a distance, watching Dan Tai Hong Zhen. His body was also ravaged by endless Destruction Sword Qi, and he dared not make any moves, even speaking could worsen his injuries.
"Wow, what happened here?" Just as Xing Chen and Dan Tai Hong Zhen were at a standoff, a surprised voice suddenly came from nearby. A cute girl, delicately beautiful in her Blue-Clad attire, appeared in their line of sight.
Seeing this girl, Xing Chen's expression changed slightly. She was the one who had warned him on the ship before; however, he did not know whether her appearance now was good or bad.
On the other side, Dan Tai Hong Zhen's expression was equally grim—no, it should be said to be extremely ugly. If one looked closely, they could see his body trembling slightly.
"Wow, you two are amazing! You fought to this extent!" The Blue-Clad Girl, looking at the surrounding chaos, exclaimed exaggeratedly.
However, anyone could tell that she was merely putting on an act. Both Xing Chen and Dan Tai Hong Zhen had faces as dark as thunder; they were both heavily injured and found it difficult to even move, let alone deal with this suddenly appearing girl.
"What do you want?" Dan Tai Hong Zhen glared at the Blue-Clad Girl, his face filled with inexplicable anger.
Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly. From Dan Tai Hong Zhen's expression, it was clear that he recognized the Blue-Clad Girl, but judging by his demeanor, it seemed they were not friends; rather, it looked like he had suffered greatly at her hands before.
"What do I want? I just heard fighting sounds and came over to take a look," said the Blue-Clad Girl, her innocent face filled with a look of innocence as her big watery eyes looked at Dan Tai Hong Zhen with a sense of grievance.
Looking at the girl's innocent expression, Xing Chen couldn't help but feel somewhat strange. At the same time, he circulated his internal Vital Energy to quickly expel the sword qi rampaging through his body.
The power of Dan Tai Hong Zhen's Annihilation Technique was indeed immense; that fierce sword qi had nearly taken his life. If it weren't for the timely assistance of the Soul Suppression Power within him stabilizing his soul at a critical moment, perhaps now Xing Chen would have already returned to the Underworld.
"Since that's the case, you've seen the situation here. Can we leave now?" Dan Tai Hongzhen's expression was cold as he secretly circulated his Vital Energy to dispel the residual lightning power left by Xing Chen's recent attack.
Dan Tai Hongzhen had a deep understanding of the terrifying nature of the girl before him. Despite her cute appearance and her cultivation at the Mid Stage of Earth Soul Realm, only those who truly knew her understood that this was merely her facade.
Thinking of this, Dan Tai Hongzhen couldn't help but shiver, not daring to think further.
"Hehe, why should I leave? I still have things to finish!" The Blue-Clad Girl revealed a charming smile, then waved her fair hand lightly in the air, filling the atmosphere with a faint fragrance.
This is bad! The thought flashed through Dan Tai Hongzhen's mind, but it was already too late. The moment he inhaled the faint scent, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. Xing Chen was not in a much better situation; the fragrance had a mesmerizing effect that could cause one's soul to become disoriented instantly, and during this time, their Soul Power would rapidly dissipate.
Xing Chen's expression changed as a faint silver glow flickered in his eyes—Soul Suppression Power, which could stabilize his soul against external disturbances.
However, at that moment when he stabilized his soul, Xing Chen also went limp and fell to the ground. Of course, this was an act; it was merely a means of self-protection. Once the fragrance dissipated, he would release his Soul Suppression Power and recover. The only trouble was that Dan Tai Hongzhen's sword energy continued to wreak havoc within him. If not dealt with promptly, it could pose a life-threatening risk.
"I didn't expect it to be resolved so easily; this is truly unexpected!" The Blue-Clad Girl clapped her hands with a smile. The fragrance she had released was extracted from the Soul-Restraining Grass, one of the top ten poisonous herbs in the Eastern Region. It possessed soul-binding power; anyone who inhaled it would have their soul instantly imprisoned.
At that moment, cracks began to appear on Xing Chen's skin as blood flowed continuously from his wounds. This was the result of Dan Tai Hongzhen's sword energy rampaging within him. As long as his soul wasn't imprisoned, he could still mobilize his Vital Energy to resist or even expel this sword energy. But now he could no longer summon his Vital Energy.
Dan Tai Hongzhen was in a similarly precarious situation; his body convulsed as purple arcs of electricity erupted from within him.
"Oh dear, I forgot you two are injured. I'm so sorry!" The Blue-Clad Girl looked at their condition and suddenly slapped her forehead with an apologetic expression. She then walked over to them and took out two pills to give each of them.
"What... what do you want?" Dan Tai Hongzhen weakly asked the Blue-Clad Girl.
At this moment, under duress, Dan Tai Hongzhen had no choice but to submit to this girl; otherwise, endless torment awaited him.
Throughout this ordeal, Xing Chen remained silent and observant because speaking more would be futile. Given the Blue-Clad Girl's demeanor, she clearly wouldn't let them off easily. Thus, Xing Chen had been quietly searching for an opportunity to escape.
"Wait a moment; it's not safe here. I'll take you to a secure place." The Blue-Clad Girl suddenly turned her gaze toward the distance and then smiled at both of them.
Then, with a slight sway of her figure, she vanished from their sight along with both of them.
Just as the Blue-Clad Girl had just disappeared, a group of people arrived at the scene.
"This is clearly where the fight just took place, so why is there nothing here?"
"We're late; the fighters must have already fled."
"It seems that two powerful beings from the Soul Realm just fought here."
The crowd looked at the chaotic ground and began to discuss among themselves.
At this moment, Xing Chen and others were also brought to a mountain peak by the Blue-Clad Girl.
"This place should be free from disturbances," the Blue-Clad Girl said, looking around with satisfaction.
"By the way, how did you two end up fighting?" she asked with great interest.
"Hmph!" Dan Tai Hong Zhen snorted coldly, ignoring the Blue-Clad Girl, while Xing Chen kept his eyes closed throughout, not even glancing at her.
"You two are actually ignoring me," the Blue-Clad Girl said, a hint of anger appearing on her cute face. "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as her words fell, Xing Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance passing through them. He then stood up and instantly executed Shadow Shift from the Northern Dipper Star Steps.
The reason Xing Chen had been keeping his eyes closed and silent was that he was waiting for an opportunity. The sword energy within him had been expelled due to the Blue-Clad Girl's elixir, so he no longer needed to worry about that aspect. As long as he could remove the Soul Suppression Power that was suppressing his soul, his Vital Energy would be able to circulate freely, allowing him to escape.
Just when the Blue-Clad Girl was about to make her move against them, Xing Chen found his chance to flee. Without any hesitation, he instantly escaped, leaving only a faint afterimage behind.
"You..." The Blue-Clad Girl's face showed surprise and anger. Her Soul Binding Poison had never missed before; this was the first time it had failed, allowing someone who had been poisoned by her to escape.
At this moment, Xing Chen had already darted into the ancient trees across from him. His figure flickered slightly before disappearing completely.
Watching Xing Chen escape, the Blue-Clad Girl angrily slapped Dan Tai Hong Zhen on the head, knocking him unconscious. Then she moved swiftly into the forest as well.
“Puff…” After just escaping for a mile or two, Xing Chen could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He had just fought against Dan Tai Hong Zhen and was seriously injured. Although the sword energy within him had been expelled, his injuries could not be healed in a short time.
“With such severe injuries, you still managed to escape from my hands. I must say, I am quite impressed.” At that moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from ahead.
Xing Chen looked up and saw a Blue-Clad Girl standing gracefully atop a tree, her gaze slowly assessing him.
“Seven Killing Blood Seal!” A flash of bloodthirst appeared in Xing Chen's eyes as he formed seals with his hands. Two Blood Seals quickly appeared in his grasp, and with a push of his palm forward, the two Blood Seals instantly shot towards the Blue-Clad Girl on the treetop.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The nearby Ancient Trees were instantly destroyed, and the attack struck the Blue-Clad Girl on the treetop. However, before the dust settled, a look of astonishment appeared on Xing Chen's face.
The Blue-Clad Girl remained quietly standing on the tree; not only was she unharmed, but even the tree itself showed no signs of damage.
“Although I am severely injured, this attack is definitely not weaker than an ordinary initial strike from the Earth Soul Realm. How could this be…” A hint of disbelief flashed in Xing Chen's eyes.
