Death Grip
When he first went to the Sun Kingdom, it was the owner of this voice who forced him to flee in disgrace. This was the shame of his life, and how could he possibly forget it?
However, what surprised him was that Xing Chen was still alive. Using the Seven Killing Blood Seal's Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation!, he had somehow survived, and his cultivation had improved significantly compared to before.
"Xing Chen!" Yang Xingguang gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words through clenched jaws.
"Yang Xingguang, it's rare that you still remember me! The purpose of my visit to the Sword Kingdom is to seek revenge on you. I didn't expect that before I could find you, you would appear on your own." The air around them rippled slightly as Xing Chen's figure slowly revealed itself, exuding an aura of Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle.
"You actually didn't die, and you've risen from Human Soul Realm Mid Stage to Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle?" Yang Xingguang stared intently at Xing Chen. To survive after using the Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation! was something only Xing Chen could achieve.
Even the Seven Killing True Monarch from back then had died after using the Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation!, yet Xing Chen had not only survived but also improved so much in strength.
"How could I die before you? Back then, you forced me into such a state; if I don't show you something, then I'm not Xing Chen." Xing Chen sneered coldly while simultaneously sending a soul transmission to Jiang Hanren.
"When I fight them later, you should escape quickly. After this matter, they definitely won't let you go."
"You don't need to say anything; just listen to me. After leaving, you can go to Sun Kingdom and join Azure Cloud Gang. With those Demon Cores around, no one will be able to catch you."
Soul transmission is a form of communication conveyed through the frequency of soul vibrations.
Jiang Hanren glanced at Xing Chen and subtly nodded. He knew that staying here would only cause trouble, and this was definitely not the time for sentimentality. Thus, Jiang Hanren decided to follow Xing Chen's instructions.
"Xing Chen, originally you should cherish your life since you managed to survive. You shouldn't have come to my Sword Sect. Since you've come here, I'll make sure you know what regret feels like!"
Yang Xingguang no longer wasted words with Xing Chen. Last time in the Sun Kingdom, it was Xing Chen's territory, and he had no choice but to flee. But this time was different; this was Sword Kingdom, his territory. With all advantages on his side—time, place, and people—there was no need to fear Xing Chen.
"I want to see how you'll make me regret it." Xing Chen snorted coldly, his gaze toward Yang Xingguang filled with killing intent.
“Seven Killing Sword Technique—Slash!”
Yang Xingguang’s expression grew cold, and without saying a word, he unleashed the Seven Killing Sword Technique. With a single slash, thunder rumbled, and the ground trembled, as if even the earth feared this strike.
“Seven Killing Blood Seal!”
Xing Chen’s clothes fluttered as he cast a cold gaze at Yang Xingguang.
With a sudden step, his momentum surged violently, and a terrifying killing intent emanated from Xing Chen, charging forward.
Four Blood Seals stacked upon each other shot out in an instant, like an Angry Dragon breaking through, turning the tides.
Boom!
The combined force of the four Seven Killing Blood Seals instantly overwhelmed Yang Xingguang’s Seven Killing Sword Technique. Yang Xingguang’s face turned slightly pale, and he felt the ground beneath him sink. The earth cracked with a thunderous sound, and Yang Xingguang’s entire body sank at that moment.
“God-Slaying Strike! Slay Immortal! Sever Spirit!”
Feeling the pressure coming from across, Yang Xingguang let out a fierce roar and instantly slashed out three swords, stacking them upon the previous strike.
“Shattering Star Finger!”
Xing Chen’s expression grew serious as he brought his left hand’s two fingers together and thrust them forward sharply.
As Xing Chen pointed out, his aura surged once more. A crown formed from countless stars materialized above his head, making him appear like a celestial emperor descending to shatter everything.
“How… how powerful! Is this really the level that someone in the Soul Refinement Realm can achieve?”
Watching the shockwaves from the clash between the two, both of the Soul Realm powerhouses and Jiang Hanren couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
Especially those two Soul Realm experts, how could Yang Xingguang be so strong? Looking at themselves, the two Soul Realm experts exchanged glances and saw a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes.
Yang Xingguang was fine; after all, he had received the inheritance of the Seven Killing True Monarch. However, the one who was fighting against Yang Xingguang, despite being merely at the Earth Soul Realm, was surprisingly not at a disadvantage and even seemed to have the upper hand.
People really cannot be compared; the gap is simply too vast, the two Soul Realm experts sighed inwardly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hanren, besides being shocked, felt an even stronger admiration for Xing Chen.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded as Xing Chen staggered back a few steps, his face slightly pale. Yang Xingguang's face turned red, nearly spitting out blood, but for the sake of his pride, he forced himself to swallow the blood that was about to come out.
"It’s been over a month since we last met; I didn’t expect your strength to have improved quite a bit," Xing Chen said coldly to Yang Xingguang while simultaneously sending a soul message to Jiang Hanren: "When I engage him again, you should take the opportunity to escape immediately. The commotion from my earlier fight with him has definitely attracted the attention of the Yang Spirit Realm experts from the Sword Sect. If they arrive, I won’t be able to protect you."
"Likewise, your progress in strength is what truly makes me unable to believe," Yang Xingguang snorted coldly, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly. It was clear that he had suffered a hidden loss in his earlier encounter with Xing Chen.
"Unfortunately, this is your Sword Sect's territory. If it were elsewhere, I would have fought you properly," Xing Chen sighed as he shifted his gaze.
"You're right; this is our Sword Sect's territory, and there’s no way you can escape," Yang Xingguang did not deny this point and had no intention of challenging Xing Chen to a one-on-one duel.
If a Yang Spirit Realm expert from the Sword Sect arrived later, given Yang Xingguang's character, he would definitely let them take action to capture Xing Chen. As for fighting Xing Chen alone, Yang Xingguang was not foolish enough to consider that.
"Heh..." Xing Chen sneered and then moved his feet as if stepping on stars and chasing the sun and moon, instantly appearing behind the two other Sword Sect Soul Realm experts.
The Thunder God Sword appeared in his hand as he swung it fiercely, lightning flashing from the blade as silver snakes danced wildly, instantly tearing through the air and beheading the two members of the Soul Sect.
"Earth Grade Divine Weapon?" Yang Xingguang felt no sorrow for the deaths of his fellow disciples; what surprised him was the Earth Grade Divine Weapon in Xing Chen's hand.
Earth Grade Divine Weapons are incredibly rare; there are only a handful throughout the entire Sword Kingdom. If he hadn’t obtained the Seven Killing Sword from the Seven Killing True Monarch, he would never have possessed an Earth Grade Divine Weapon himself.
"Come on, Yang Xingguang, now that no one is bothering us, I want to see what progress you've made these days," Xing Chen said loudly, pointing his sword at Yang Xingguang.
Jiang Hanren had already activated his movement technique to escape the moment Xing Chen made his move, and he had long since disappeared from sight.
"In my Sword Sect's territory, I'm not afraid of you running away. Since that's the case, I'll play with you," Yang Xingguang said with a sinister smile, raising his murderous Seven Killing Sword and pointing it at Xing Chen.
"Thunder Descends Upon the World!"
Xing Chen wasted no time; as he pointed his sword towards the sky, dark clouds instantly gathered, and a chilling wind blew. Yang Xingguang's gaze towards Xing Chen also became extremely serious at that moment.
"Fourfold Thunder!"
Sizzle! Four bolts of lightning struck down from the sky in quick succession, creating an astonishing spectacle that shook the ground. As it absorbed the four bolts of lightning, a terrifying wave was slowly brewing on the Thunder God Sword.
"Annihilation Technique!"
Yang Xingguang looked slightly shocked as he watched the terrifying wave emanating from Xing Chen's Thunder God Sword. He then unleashed the Sword Sect's ultimate technique, Annihilation Technique.
With a single strike, it was like a Demonic Dance, devastating the surroundings as the space around them began to tremble.
This attack was much stronger than the one used by Dantai Hongzhen over a month ago. Fortunately, Xing Chen was not to be underestimated either; with a sword imbued with terrifying Thunderous Power, he thrust forward fiercely. The four bolts of lightning struck out in succession and collided violently with Yang Xingguang's Annihilation Technique.
Boom!
As the two forces collided, a terrifying shockwave instantly spread outwards. The ground cracked, debris flew everywhere, and the air roiled with wind and thunder, resembling the end of the world.
"Thunderfire Divine Shield!"
Seeing the terrifying shockwave approaching, Xing Chen activated the Thunderfire Pearl within him. A layer of purplish-red light enveloped him in an instant.
Yang Xingguang was not so lucky. Without the powerful protection of Xing Chen, he was instantly sent flying by the shockwave, crashing through dozens of trees, blood gushing from his mouth.
In almost an instant, Yang Xingguang fell to the ground, unconscious.
Just as Xing Chen was about to strike and kill Yang Xingguang, a sudden aura from the Yang Spirit Realm erupted, sweeping across the Eight Desolations. A tremendous Soul Power enveloped Xing Chen.
"At least a Yang Po Fivefold level expert?" Xing Chen's expression changed as he felt every hair on his body stand on end, an overwhelming sense of danger washing over him.
"You dare to cause trouble in my Sword Sect? I will make sure you never return!" The figure, suspected to be a Yang Po Fivefold expert, waved a hand, extending it like God's Hand, making it impossible to evade. A powerful aura enveloped Xing Chen, leaving him with no strength to dodge.
"Damn it, how could I encounter such a powerful being? Shouldn't such experts be guarding the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword?" Xing Chen's face darkened as he looked at the hand reaching for him. Gritting his teeth, he decided to fight back.
Nine Thunder Fire!
The Thunderfire Pearl appeared instantly, and the surrounding temperature surged dramatically as a powerful Crimson Thunderfire erupted, surging outward.
Feeling the might of that large hand, Xing Chen gritted his teeth and summoned a Crimson Jade Bottle. He quickly swallowed a drop of Holy Fire Elixir.
