Death Grip
The two had truly entered the territory where various forces roamed within Sword Mound. Anyone who could survive here was no good person, and encountering them would inevitably lead to a fight.
Fortunately, up until now, they had not run into anyone. The major forces present in Sword Mound numbered at least eight hundred, if not a thousand. After all, over the course of hundreds or even thousands of years, many people had been forced into this place by various powerful factions.
Although they could not possibly live for long, these people had managed to thrive here. Additionally, there were always newcomers being driven in from outside, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that Sword Mound had become a kind of nation.
Suddenly, while walking, Xing Chen's expression changed sharply, and he stopped in his tracks. Qian Hongkai, who was following behind him, nearly bumped into his back.
"A few ants dare to follow me? Get out here!" Xing Chen said coldly, turning to look toward the misty distance.
As soon as Xing Chen finished speaking, three tall and thin figures gradually emerged from that area. Through the mist, their faces were indistinguishable; however, Xing Chen could sense that these three were merely at the level of Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle.
"Hehe... What an arrogant brat. A newcomer dares to act so presumptuously within the territory of my Remnant Sword Sect. You must be tired of living!" A mocking voice came from one of the three men in the middle.
"Just a mere Earth Soul Realm, and you dare to be so brazen in front of me." Xing Chen licked his lips, revealing a hint of bloodthirst. He was already furious from being chased earlier, and now these three clueless individuals had come to vent his anger on; naturally, Xing Chen would not hold back.
"Die!" A cold light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as he took a step forward. An overwhelming killing intent surged up instantly, shooting straight toward Nine Heavens.
Seven Killing Blood Seal!
Xing Chen flipped his palm over, and four Blood Seals radiating with intense blood light appeared in his hand one after another. Then, the four Blood Seals stacked on top of each other and shot out towards the three figures across from him.
Sword Mound values strength above all; there is no morality to speak of. As long as you are strong enough, you can do anything, and absolutely no one dares to say a word against you.
Similarly, if you want others to fear and respect you, you also need powerful strength; otherwise, you will only become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four Blood Seals instantly struck the three figures across from them, who had no chance to resist before being killed.
In their final moments, they had only one thought: how could there be someone so strong in the Earth Soul Realm?
"Hmph!" Xing Chen snorted coldly and stepped forward. After collecting the three men's Storage Rings, he kicked their bodies into the depths of the thick fog without even looking back, continuing on his way.
Watching Xing Chen's actions, Qian Hongkai felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that if Xing Chen wanted to deal with him, it would not be much harder than dealing with those three. After all, he had witnessed Xing Chen fighting against the first disciple of the Sword Sect, Qi Gaojie, whose strength was definitely not inferior to that of the Yang Spirit Realm.
"Qian Hongkai, now we have officially entered the territory of Sword Mound, right?" Xing Chen glanced at Qian Hongkai. The appearance of those three who claimed to be from the Remnant Sword Sect already indicated that they had officially entered Sword Mound.
"Yes... yes, this area is already under the jurisdiction of those forces. From what those people said just now, this should belong to the jurisdiction of the Remnant Sword Sect."
Qian Hongkai was momentarily stunned but quickly spoke up.
"However, for safety's sake, we should go deeper. After all, this is just the outskirts; it's not unusual for people from major forces to come here occasionally. Only by going deeper can we truly be safe."
After thinking for a moment, Qian Hongkai quickly added.
Of course, this sense of safety was only in regard to being hunted by outsiders. After all, those major forces within Sword Mound were exceptionally ruthless and vicious. Without some means, surviving here would basically be hopeless.
However, for Qian Hongkai, who had already deeply witnessed Xing Chen's strength, he absolutely believed that Xing Chen had the ability to survive here.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's go deeper," Xing Chen nodded slightly. Compared to the people in Sword Mound, those from the outside world posed a greater threat to him.
The two delved deeper into Sword Mound, where the surrounding mist grew thicker and a chilling aura filled the air. However, the deeper they went, the greater the benefits for Xing Chen, so he welcomed the surrounding coldness.
"Wait, there's someone ahead!"
Xing Chen suddenly raised his arm, stopping Qian Hongkai in his tracks and speaking calmly.
Qian Hongkai was slightly startled and quickly halted, cautiously looking ahead.
He saw a figure staggering nearby, running past them. Perhaps due to running too fast, this person completely failed to notice Xing Chen and Qian Hongkai.
"Conceal yourself!"
Xing Chen's gaze shifted slightly as he quickly pulled Qian Hongkai aside. Their figures flashed and vanished from their original spot.
Just after Xing Chen and Qian Hongkai disappeared, another figure appeared with a sinister expression. This person swiftly passed by where Xing Chen and Qian Hongkai had just been, letting out a series of eerie laughs.
"Why are you running so fast, Senior Brother? As a junior disciple with a weak physique, I can't keep up with you for such a long time!" The young man with a sinister look continued to chuckle. "Senior Brother, you know that our sect is about to hold a grand competition. The winner gets to become an elder!"
"This time, I specially spent a lot of money to acquire several kinds of poisons to ensure victory; otherwise, how could I dare to covet the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier in your hands?"
The fleeing figure swayed even more violently at this moment but gritted his teeth and continued running forward without saying a word.
At this moment, both Xing Chen and the others noticed that the man who was fleeing had a purple-black complexion and was breathing rapidly, showing signs of severe poisoning. Given that even his Soul Realm cultivation could not suppress the poison, one could imagine how potent it was.
Anyway, aside from knowing that Meng Xiner's Soul Controlling Poison and Soul Binding Poison could achieve such effects, Xing Chen truly did not know of any other poison that could do the same.
"Senior Brother, look at me! I've fought for the position of Elder for so many years; just help me out this once! I promise to leave you with a complete corpse!" The young man with a sinister expression slowly approached, getting closer to the fleeing individual.
Xing Chen watched the chase with great interest. In the past, he was always the one being hunted while others watched; now he finally experienced what it felt like to be an observer.
At this moment, the fleeing man suddenly trembled and then spat out a mouthful of black blood. His body instantly weakened, and the light in his eyes rapidly faded.
Seeing this, the Eerie Youth finally smiled. He stepped closer to the fleeing man and drew a peak human-grade broken sword, striking down several times until he confirmed the man was completely dead. He then grabbed the corpse and removed the Storage Ring. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed two figures watching him not far away.
Those two individuals were also at the Earth Level Peak, which made cold sweat break out on Eerie Youth's forehead.
However, thinking about how he had already seized his Senior Brother's Earth-Level Remnant Soldier, Eerie Youth suddenly felt a surge of courage. With an Earth-Level Remnant Soldier in hand, he believed he could contend even against two individuals at the peak of Earth Soul Realm.
He tossed the corpse aside and cupped his hands towards Xing Chen and his companion, revealing a gentle smile as he said, "Greetings, brothers! I am Hun Haoran from Remnant Sword Sect. May I ask which forces you two belong to? Is there anything I can assist you with at Remnant Sword Sect?"
Seeing how quickly Eerie Youth changed his demeanor, even Xing Chen couldn't help but admire him inwardly—perhaps they were not as good as him!
Xing Chen gradually stepped out from the mist and looked at Hun Haoran, speaking calmly: "I am somewhat interested in the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier you mentioned. How about you show it to me for observation?"
Upon hearing this, Eerie Youth's expression changed instantly. The words sounded pleasant enough—just show it for observation—but if he really took it out, he might never be able to reclaim it.
Eerie Youth's mind raced as he quickly thought of countermeasures. However, he was being overly cautious this time; Xing Chen genuinely only wanted to see what an Earth-Level Remnant Soldier was like. After all, he possessed a complete Earth Grade Divine Weapon and naturally would not care about a mere Earth-Level Remnant Soldier. His curiosity simply drove him to want to see what kind of power an Earth-Level Remnant Soldier could achieve.
"This brother, this Earth-Level Remnant Soldier is something I obtained after great effort. You think you can just take it with a single word? That's a bit too much, isn't it?"
Eerie Youth's smile vanished, and he looked at Xing Chen with a wary expression.
"I only want to observe it a bit; I have no intention of taking your Earth-Level Remnant Soldier," Xing Chen said, his brow slightly raised, and his voice gradually grew colder.
However, the more he spoke like this, the more alert Hun Haoran became. Observe? That line was just a trick. If he took it out, there would be no way to get it back. Hun Haoran thought bitterly.
Having lived in Sword Mound, he understood the ways of the people here very well. A treasure like the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier would have no chance of escaping once someone had their eyes on it; a fierce battle was inevitable.
As for the other party's desire to "observe," that was merely an excuse to get him to hand over the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier. If he handed it over, then perhaps if the other party was in a good mood, they might spare his life. But if the other party was ruthless, they would definitely take both the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier and his life.
