Death Grip
Zhen Hanhe was even less likely to escape. He had no Earth Grade Divine Weapon, nor had he obtained any strong person's Inheritance. Moreover, he was currently being besieged by the Three Great Sect Masters. His attempt to flee was more difficult than that of Zong Hongfei.
Boom!
At that moment, another explosion rang out. Zhen Hanhe finally could not hold on any longer and was struck by Fuyuan Xuan's sword, his body instantly falling to the ground.
Seeing Zhen Hanhe's situation, Zong Hongfei realized that the tide had turned against him; there was absolutely no way for him to turn the tables.
"Blood Shadow Escape!"
Since the situation was dire, Zong Hongfei naturally would not continue to fight these people. In an instant, his body transformed into a beam of blood light, attempting to break through the encirclement of the Four Great Protectors.
"Thunderstorm Net!"
The Four Great Protectors saw Zong Hongfei trying to escape and quickly moved to block him. A massive electric net instantly formed in the air, descending upon Zong Hongfei.
"Ah—"
Zong Hongfei let out a scream as his blood-light form fell to the ground, unable to rise.
"Hehe, it seems the situation is settled. Although Qi Gaojie and Xun Yuhuan managed to escape, capturing Zhen Hanhe and the Gate Master is already quite good."
Xing Chen's eyes flickered with a cold smile. His Vital Energy had already recovered; although he could not unleash his peak combat power, he no longer feared an ordinary Yang Spirit Realm opponent.
"You all are truly impressive, managing to capture two people so quickly and severely injuring another two."
Xing Chen slowly clapped his hands and said.
"This brother, this time we were deceived by Zong Hongfei, so please don't take it to heart," Tao Zhen said, looking at the slowly approaching Xing Chen with a slightly changed expression.
"What a coincidence, my only virtue is that I hold grudges," Xing Chen said with a cold smile as he looked at the three of them.
Just moments ago, these people had attacked him, coveting the treasures on him, and now they thought they could brush it off with a light remark. There is no such easy thing in this world.
"Are you saying you don't intend to reconcile?" Tao Zhen's expression also turned cold. As the leader of Dragon Slayer Gate, being threatened by a mere child from the Soul Realm made him very angry.
"Sir, I advise you to know when to stop. This time we indeed made a mistake. Even if we give you some compensation, we have no complaints. However, if you truly want to clash with us, the Three Major Forces, we are not afraid."
Beside him, He Liqin also looked at Xing Chen with cold eyes. As the leader of a faction, they naturally cared about their reputation. It was already humiliating enough to actively seek reconciliation with Xing Chen. If they were to apologize humbly, their face as the Three Major Forces would be completely lost.
"Hey, given your current half-dead state, do you really think I need to let you go?"
Xing Chen scoffed and looked at the Three Great Sect Masters, as well as the equally tense-looking Thunder and Lightning Four Great Protectors behind them.
"Leave some room for others; it will be easier to meet again in the future. I advise you not to push things too far," said Fuyuan Xuan, who had been silent until now.
"The thing I love most is to eliminate all threats completely; I don’t like dealing with the same trouble repeatedly," Xing Chen replied calmly. However, despite his cold demeanor and apparent intent to kill them all, it was clear from his inaction that he did not truly wish to eradicate them; otherwise, he would have acted long ago.
"What do you want? Feel free to state your conditions," Tao Zhen said slowly, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes as he looked at Xing Chen.
At this moment, he realized something. Xing Chen indeed had the strength to kill everyone here, but since he hadn't acted yet, it meant he didn't genuinely want to wipe them out; he simply wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for some benefits.
"Let me borrow your Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers for a while!" Xing Chen smiled, finally revealing his true intentions. He wanted to leverage the power of these individuals' Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers to further enhance his own cultivation.
"You're being a bit excessive, aren't you? While we should compensate you, it's absolutely impossible for you to take away all the Earth Grade Divine Weapons from us!" Tao Zhen replied firmly.
In the Sword Mound, if one did not have the backing of an Earth-Level Remnant Soldier, it was very easy to lose one's life. After all, there was no comparison between a Yang Spirit Realm with an Earth-Level Remnant Soldier and one without.
"I’m just borrowing them. I’ll return them after use. Of course, you can choose not to lend them to me, in which case I’ll have to come and take them myself."
Xing Chen appeared confident that he had everyone at his mercy.
"Fine, you can have the Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers. I hope you keep your word and return them to us!" As soon as Xing Chen finished speaking, Fuyuan Xuan gritted his teeth and handed over the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier to Xing Chen.
After all, while the Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers were important, they paled in comparison to one's life. With Fuyuan Xuan leading the way, others also took out their Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers and handed them over to Xing Chen.
"Don't worry, I'm not a good person, but I do keep my word." As Xing Chen received these Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, a green light flickered in his eyes. With so many Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, he would be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Soul Realm.
Upon hearing Xing Chen's words, everyone scoffed. Given Xing Chen's ruthless methods, if he actually kept his word, it would truly be a miracle. They knew that their Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers would be like meat buns thrown to dogs—gone without a trace.
However, even though they understood this, they had no choice but to hand over their Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers. If they waited for Xing Chen to come and take them personally, it wouldn't just be about taking away the Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers. Their lives might also be at stake.
"Hehe, Zhen Hanhe, I didn't expect you to be here today too. Although Xun Yuhuan and the others escaped, they will die sooner or later. Don't worry; it won't be long before I send them to keep you company."
After putting away the Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, Xing Chen approached Zhen Hanhe, sneering coldly.
"A soldier can be killed but cannot be humiliated. If you have the guts, just kill me directly, stop insulting me here!"
Zhen Hanhe snorted coldly, glaring at Xing Chen with a fierce gaze.
"At this point, you still dare to play tricks with me? Are you hoping that I won't kill you so you can wait for someone to rescue you? You are too naive; this is Sword Mound, and it's absolutely impossible for anyone from the outside to come in."
Xing Chen looked down at Zhen Hanhe, fully aware of his intentions. This was a typical tactic of provoking and then feigning weakness.
Clearly, he didn't want Xing Chen to kill him, yet instead of begging for mercy, he chose to provoke Xing Chen. Someone like Xing Chen would not be swayed by such tactics, so Xing Chen would definitely keep him alive just to torture him.
However, he had underestimated Xing Chen's intelligence; his thoughts were almost immediately seen through by Xing Chen.
"What... what do you want?" Upon realizing that his plan had been uncovered, Zhen Hanhe's expression turned frantic. He had indeed overlooked one crucial point: this was Sword Mound.
In Sword Mound, only the strongest, like Yang Po Er Chong, could enter. Once someone surpassed Yang Po Er Chong, it would trigger a frenzied attack from the Vengeful Spirits at the core of Sword Mound.
"Aren't you someone who can be killed but not insulted? Then I won't insult you; I’ve decided to give you a quick end."
A rare gentle smile appeared on Xing Chen's face, but to Zhen Hanhe, it was the most terrifying smile in the world.
"Don't... don't! Please don't kill me!" As he saw the Blood Seal appear in Xing Chen's hand, Zhen Hanhe shouted desperately. He was the top talent of Guangyang Prefecture, and he didn't want to die like this.
"Die!"
A flash of bloodlight appeared in Xing Chen's eyes as the Blood Seal shot out violently, instantly piercing through Zhen Hanhe's chest.
"You... you..."
Looking at the hole in his chest caused by the Blood Seal, Zhen Hanhe struggled to raise his finger to point at Xing Chen, trying to say something. But in the next moment, his eyes lost their luster as life rapidly drained from him.
"I'll leave this traitor for you; I believe you'll handle him properly." As Xing Chen turned to leave, he added, "Three days later, I will return the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier to you. If you don’t come by then, your Earth-Level Remnant Soldier will belong to me."
Watching the departing Xing Chen, the Three Great Sect Masters and Four Great Protectors gritted their teeth in frustration, but there was nothing they could do; after all, they were no match for his strength.
Thus, they vented all their grievances on Zong Hongfei's expression.
"Damn it, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how would I have been so unlucky to encounter this calamity and have the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier taken away?"
"Exactly! If it weren't for you, that damned traitor, I wouldn't even be here! If I hadn't come here, how could the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier have been taken from me!"
"Damn it, you owe us for the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier! You scum, I will make sure to kill you!"
After Xing Chen left, everyone continued to berate Zong Hongfei. The poor Zong Hongfei became a punching bag for these people and ultimately ended up suffocated by their anger.
On the other side, Xing Chen was on his way to the Meeting of the Remnant Sword Sect, secretly relieved that it was thanks to Xun Yuhuan and others that they had turned on each other. Otherwise, whether he could escape would have been a question. It seemed he needed to be more cautious in the future.
Xing Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This incident had taught him a lesson: he must not act recklessly again; otherwise, he might end up losing his life sooner or later.
"However, although this time was dangerous, I gained quite a bit. After all, fortune favors the bold." Thinking about the Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers he had obtained, Xing Chen felt much more balanced inside.
