Death Grip
After Xing Chen returned to the secret chamber, he took out an Earth-Level Remnant Soldier. First, he used the Thunderfire Divine Ring to absorb the Sharp Sword Qi within, and then he began to absorb the Negative Power inside.
This process was quite simple, and Xing Chen absorbed it smoothly. The bottleneck for his breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Soul Realm became increasingly loose with the influx of Negative Power.
Just as Xing Chen was about to break through to the mid-stage of the Soul Realm, the Mysterious Jade Pendant inside him suddenly activated, absorbing all of that Negative Power, leaving nothing for Xing Chen.
"I..." Seeing this situation, even with Xing Chen's indifferent personality, he almost cursed out loud. Fortunately, his composure was still intact; he took a deep breath and gradually calmed his anger.
Then he took out another Earth-Level Remnant Soldier. After the Thunderfire Divine Ring absorbed the sharp sword energy within, Xing Chen began to absorb the Negative Power. However, the Mysterious Jade Pendant once again came out to cause trouble and devoured all of that Negative Power.
"What the hell is going on? You never fought me for anything before; why are you doing this now at such a critical moment?" This time, Xing Chen could no longer hold back and burst into curses. This damn pendant was infuriating. Was it easy for him to obtain an Earth-Level Remnant Soldier? Was it easy for him to advance to the mid-stage of the Soul Realm?
With only one step away from reaching the mid-stage of the Soul Realm, this pendant suddenly jumped out to cause chaos, not only devouring the Negative Power from his hard-earned Earth Grade Divine Weapon, but also preventing him from breaking through to the mid-stage of the Soul Realm. This was truly maddening.
Boom! Boom!
Just as Xing Chen was fuming, a loud vibration suddenly came from outside, causing his expression to turn serious. From the recent tremors, it was clear that someone had attacked the Remnant Sword Sect, and this person's strength was definitely not weaker than an ordinary Yang Po Fourfold expert or even higher.
"Who on earth is it? Why do they come now of all times?" With a darkened face, Xing Chen walked outside.
The moment he stepped out of the secret chamber, a powerful wave of Soul Power swept over him. This wave of Soul Power was undoubtedly the strongest he had ever encountered; even compared to that expert at the Yang Po Realm Fifth Layer he met in the Sword Sect, this power exceeded it.
The sweep of this Soul Power made Xing Chen's scalp tingle and hair stand on end. His face darkened as he swayed and dashed away from the secret chamber without saying a word.
That wave of Soul Power was simply too overwhelming. Xing Chen was certain that this person could annihilate him in an instant, so he had no intention of fighting back. He fled directly into the distance after coming out.
"Heh heh, you think you can run in front of me? If I let you escape, I won't have any face left to see anyone!" A voice emerged from that powerful wave of Soul Power, calm and unhurried.
Xing Chen bit his lip and said nothing. Suddenly changing direction while racing forward, a faint silver light flashed in his eyes. The power of the Soul Calming Plaque appeared instantly, causing that overwhelming sense of pressure from the surrounding Soul Power to vanish without a trace as soon as the silver light emerged.
"Eh? It can actually isolate my Soul Power. This Rascal is indeed not simple." An old man behind him looked at the fleeing Xing Chen, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he muttered to himself.
At this moment, Xing Chen felt an unusual sense of urgency and unease. Throughout his life, he had never experienced such a feeling of imminent death. The pressure from this old man was simply too great.
Even with the isolation of the Soul Suppression Power, the intense unease in Xing Chen's heart remained difficult to dispel.
"Who exactly is this old Rascal? Why has he suddenly come looking for me?" Xing Chen thought to himself, feeling confused. He still couldn't understand why this old man had suddenly come to the Remnant Sword Sect to find him.
Xing Chen was certain that he had no grievances with him in the past and no enmity recently. Even if it was because he had destroyed Tongmen and upset him, with this person's strength, there was no need for him to act personally!
"Rascal, you can't escape. You might as well surrender and come with me! No matter how far you run, it will be of no use," the old man's voice slowly came from behind.
Xing Chen's expression darkened as he sneered in silence. Did this old Rascal really think he was a fool? If he truly surrendered, he would probably never escape from this person's Demonic Palm and would most likely become a puppet at someone else's mercy.
He had to escape; that was the only thought in Xing Chen's mind at that moment.
"Seven Killing Blood Seal!"
Although he knew the attack would be useless, Xing Chen still turned around and launched a Seven Killing Blood Seal at the old man. Five Blood Seals stacked together surged toward the old man like a Blood Dragon.
"Useless, disperse!"
The old man chuckled and lightly shouted the word 'disperse.' As soon as the word left his mouth, an immense force surged forth like an ocean, transforming into towering waves that violently spread out. The surrounding mist immediately retreated under the impact of these waves, and the Blood Dragon twisted oddly for a moment before dissipating into thin air upon contact.
Xing Chen's body shook as well; blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and his vision blurred momentarily.
"What kind of person is this? Why is such a powerful existence suddenly against me?" Xing Chen had countless questions in his heart, but no one could answer them.
At that moment, the old man had already caught up. He pointed a finger, and Xing Chen's body trembled again as if it were frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
"Rascal, you run pretty fast. I’ve chased you for half an hour! Tsk tsk, I must commend you; with your Soul Realm cultivation to achieve this, I believe there’s no second person like you in the entire Eastern Region."
The old man clicked his tongue in admiration, but his gaze towards Xing Chen was incredibly intense.
Xing Chen looked at the old man with a dark expression. Just a moment ago, under the old man's finger, he felt as if his soul had been instantly imprisoned. This kind of confinement was somewhat similar to Meng Xiner's Soul Binding Poison, but it was even more domineering.
As soon as this power appeared, Xing Chen had no chance to react; he instantly lost control over his body, and his entire soul was bound.
"I ask you, have you obtained the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance?" The old man asked, his gaze piercing as he looked at Xing Chen.
"Yes!" After a moment of silence, Xing Chen nodded. The old man's strength was simply too overwhelming; he had absolutely no power to resist in front of him. Therefore, Xing Chen could only comply; otherwise, he might lose his life in an instant.
"Then is the Thunderfire Pearl with you?" The old man's eyes were like lightning, staring at Xing Chen as he spoke each word deliberately. There was a hint of murderous intent flashing in his intense gaze; if Xing Chen dared to hesitate even slightly, the old man would surely kill him in a fit of rage.
Xing Chen remained silent for a moment before nodding. He could sense the killing intent from the old man; as long as he showed any sign of insubordination, he would undoubtedly meet a terrible fate.
Without further ado, the old man took out an Earth Grade Divine Weapon from his Storage Ring. This was a true Earth Grade Divine Weapon and also a High-Level Divine Weapon. However, there was a faint crack at the tip of the sword that would not be noticeable unless one looked closely.
"Use the Thunderfire Pearl's Thunderfire Power to burn this Earth Grade Divine Weapon," the old man said coldly as he placed the sword in front of Xing Chen. This Earth Grade Divine Weapon contained astonishing Negative Power, and even he did not dare to use it excessively.
Because the concentration of Negative Power within it was so intense that overuse would make it impossible for him to withstand its corrosive force. The Thunderfire Pearl's Thunderfire Power was precisely effective against this kind of Negative Power, which is why the old man instructed Xing Chen to burn this sword.
"Nine Thunder Fire!"
A purple-red light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as the Thunderfire Pearl flew out from his body, spinning above his head. Then, a violent surge of Thunderfire Power erupted instantly.
However, this attack was not aimed at the sword but at the old man himself; Xing Chen had decided to fight to the death.
The raging Nine Thunder Fire surged towards the old man, burning fiercely in mid-air like a Thunderfire Divine Dragon wrapping around him.
As the Thunderfire Divine Dragon charged forward, there was no hint of panic on the old man's face. He merely extended his finger slightly forward, and in an instant, the Thunderfire Divine Dragon halted and slowly dissipated into thin air.
However, the old man's finger was also scorched by the violent Thunderfire Power of the Thunderfire Divine Dragon, charred on the outside yet tender on the inside.
The old man was momentarily stunned to find himself injured by Xing Chen. At that instant, as he was taken aback, the Thunder God Sword appeared in Xing Chen's hand. Five bolts of lightning struck down in succession, and as Xing Chen swung the Thunder God Sword forward, the five bolts of thunder shot straight toward the old man's forehead.
Buzz!
A ripple appeared at the old man's forehead as the five bolts of lightning struck one after another, yet they caused him no harm. At this moment, Xing Chen also activated Shadow Shift, instantly escaping hundreds of meters away.
At that time, the old man trembled, and the lightning that had been surrounding him dissipated instantly. He looked at his finger, which had been scorched by Thunderfire Power, and a fierce anger emerged in his eyes.
With a sinister grin, he formed hand seals, and his Soul Power rapidly expanded to cover a hundred-mile radius. He shouted loudly, "Spatial Restraint!"
The area within a hundred miles was instantly confined by the old man's Soul Power, causing Xing Chen, who was trying to escape, to come to a halt once again.
Just then, a silver light erupted from Xing Chen's body. The soul power that restrained him began to loosen, and Xing Chen's figure surged forward once more.
