Death Grip
Now Xing Chen has consecutively used Seven Seals, and he surely won't last much longer. The former Seven Killing True Monarch also died after using the secret technique Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation! in a fit of rage to kill a Soul-Searching Realm Expert from outside the Eastern Region. Xing Chen will undoubtedly meet the same fate.
However, he could never have imagined that Xing Chen, this freak, possesses a mysterious jade pendant that can keep him alive.
"You can try to see if I still have any attacking ability left. How much longer can I survive?"
Xing Chen licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty look as he stared at Huang. Now that Seven Seals has passed, every strike he makes possesses the power of Sun Soul Seventh Peak.
Moreover, as long as the Mysterious Jade Pendant doesn't fail him, he can maintain this state indefinitely until he decides not to.
Of course, he doesn't know what will happen once the power of the Mysterious Jade Pendant fades, but now is not the time to think about that; what he needs is an equal footing in this conversation.
"Since that's the case, I want to give it a try!" Huang naturally wouldn't back down at this moment. If he retreated now, wouldn't that be equivalent to yielding to Xing Chen? As a dignified Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm powerhouse and an Imperial Ancestor, how could he possibly submit to Xing Chen! Moreover, Xing Chen is still a disciple of Yun Qing.
"Gentlemen, let's stop here. We didn't come to the Sword Kingdom for internal strife; don't forget our purpose."
At this moment, Xu Shuo stepped in as a peacemaker, seemingly having forgotten that it was he who instigated this situation.
"Xu Shuo, stop pretending to be so innocent. If it weren't for your instigation, we wouldn't be in this predicament," Huang, already furious, became even angrier upon hearing Xu Shuo's words.
How dare you suggest stopping now? How dare you say not to have internal strife? If it weren't for you, old Rascal, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, countless sounds of breaking air came from all directions, and in an instant, hundreds of powerful figures from the Yang Spirit Realm appeared. These individuals were all strong practitioners from various major forces in the Eastern Region, drawn here by the clash between Xing Chen and Huang.
"People from the Sun Kingdom? Are they in-fighting?"
"It seems the situation is tense; we arrived at a rather inconvenient time!"
"Huang? Xu Shuo? Two of the three great experts of the Sun Kingdom. Who is that confronting Huang? Such a strong aura..."
Once these individuals arrived, they immediately began to discuss among themselves, with Xing Chen becoming the focal point of their conversation.
"Do you two still want to continue? If this goes on, someone else will definitely benefit from it."
Xu Shuo looked at the surrounding Yang Spirit Realm experts, his gaze flickering slightly before he spoke again.
"Hmph!" Huang snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, he won't live much longer. I don't need to bother with a dying person."
"Then let's see who dies first!" Xing Chen smiled sinisterly, bloodlust flashing in his eyes.
Huang snorted again and turned to leave, heading towards the direction of the Sword Sect. As for the other members of the royal family, Huang did not bring any of them along because nearly all had died—over eight-tenths were dead, and those who survived were barely hanging on, clearly beyond saving.
"Young Master Chen, are you alright?" Seeing Huang leave, Lin Luori and others hurriedly approached to ask. Yuer was already in tears, her face streaked with weeping.
"What could possibly happen to me? I've never been better," Xing Chen replied as he stretched his neck.
The onlookers who had come to see the excitement realized there was nothing left to watch and gradually dispersed, leaving only Xing Chen, Xu Shuo, and a few others behind.
"Truly impressive, being Brother Yun's disciple. After using Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation!, you remain completely unharmed and can maintain this state," Xu Shuo remarked with a smile as he glanced at Xing Chen.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Xing Chen replied calmly, then turned to Lin Luori and the others, saying, "Let's go to the Sword Sect now!"
At this moment, Xing Chen was undoubtedly in his strongest state. Every strike possessed the power of a Sun Soul Seventh Peak expert, and he could unleash attacks without limit. As long as the Mysterious Jade Pendant remained functional, his Vital Energy would never deplete, and his attacks would never cease.
"This young man is extraordinary; it seems I should arrange for Xiyer to get to know him," Xu Shuo thought as he observed Xing Chen's retreating figure, a glint of interest flashing in his eyes before he followed suit.
The reason he decided to follow Xing Chen was twofold: on one hand, he wanted to see if Xing Chen could truly maintain this state indefinitely; on the other hand, he was curious about how Xing Chen managed to eliminate the side effects of Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation!. Although the chances of discovering anything were slim, Xu Shuo still hoped to observe something useful.
"Young Master Chen? Are you really okay?" Lin Luori asked again with concern as she looked at Xing Chen. She was certain that his current state was abnormal; although incredibly powerful, it also made her uneasy.
The greater the power of a secret technique, the more significant its side effects. For someone like Xing Chen, who originally had Soul Realm cultivation, to forcibly elevate himself to Yang Po Sevenfold and maintain that state meant that the side effects of such a powerful technique were likely unimaginable.
"I've checked many times; I'm fine and better than ever," Xing Chen replied somewhat impatiently. He had been asked this question hundreds of times along the way. While he understood that they meant well, their constant inquiries were beginning to wear on his nerves.
"But you really don't look fine at all!" Lin Luori said with a hint of bitterness on her face. She knew that repeatedly asking would annoy Xing Chen, but she couldn't shake her worries without clarifying things. She feared that if this continued, Xing Chen might endanger his own life.
"I'm fine; I assure you I'm fine. Please stop asking. This is my strongest state, and since Master isn't here anymore, I'm in a better position to take you all to the Sword Sect," Xing Chen waved his hand and continued. Originally, going to the Sword Sect without Yun Qing would have been extremely dangerous; however, even if Xing Chen's strength didn't match Yun Qing's, it was certainly not far off. This trip to the Sword Sect would be much safer now.
Beside Xu Shuo, although he had been observing Xing Chen the whole way, he did not notice any unusual behavior from Xing Chen. If there was anything amiss, it was that occasionally a Black Light flashed in Xing Chen's blood-red eyes.
This left Xu Shuo puzzled. Why would a blood-colored gaze flash with Black Light? Despite his confusion, Xu Shuo did not dwell on it further.
"Young Master Chen..." At this moment, Yuer stepped forward, but was interrupted by Xing Chen.
"I'm really fine, so please stop asking," Xing Chen said with a hint of helplessness on his face. He truly had no issues at the moment and was extraordinarily powerful.
Even if there were problems, they would only arise later; for now, there was definitely nothing to worry about.
"That's not it. I meant that someone is blocking the way ahead." Yuer pointed forward, and Xing Chen looked over to see that indeed there were many people obstructing their path, one of whom was a familiar face—Qizeyu.
"Qizeyu?" Xing Chen's expression instantly turned cold. He clearly remembered how Qizeyu had once hunted him down, and his first thought was to kill him now.
"Xing Chen?" Qizeyu was slightly taken aback upon seeing Xing Chen. After all, the difference between Xing Chen now and back then was immense. Although his appearance hadn't changed, both his aura and the look in his eyes had undergone significant transformation.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to recognize me. It seems you came here specifically to wait for me? In that case, I won't hold back." A sinister smile appeared on Xing Chen's face as his entire body transformed into a streak of blood light, charging towards Qizeyu. The Blood Seal condensed in his hand and shot forward in an instant.
"You..." Qizeyu wanted to speak but found himself forced to deal with Xing Chen's attack instead. With no choice, he could only respond to Xing Chen's assault.
"Turn the Clouds and Cover the Rain!"
As Qizeyu flipped his palm, the Blood Seal seemed to have a faint tendency to sweep back.
However, at this moment, Xing Chen's strength surpassed his, so this move was essentially ineffective against Xing Chen now.
The Blood Seal merely trembled slightly before once again launching towards him. This scene caused Qizeyu's expression to change drastically, revealing an extreme shock in his eyes.
It should be noted that not long ago, Xing Chen's strength was still merely at the Soul Realm. Although he could fight beyond his level, he could not contend with a powerhouse of Yang Po Sevenfold!
But now, with his own Yang Po Sevenfold strength, he was faintly sensing an inability to withstand a single blow from Xing Chen. This result left Qizeyu in disbelief while also feeling slightly astonished by how quickly Xing Chen's strength had increased.
This was simply not something a normal person could achieve. No, as long as one is human, whether normal or abnormal, it is impossible for their strength to leap from the Soul Realm to the realm of Yang Spirit Peak in such a short time.
“Separation of the Sea Sword Technique!”
As Qizeyu retreated, the Earth Grade Divine Weapon, the Sea-Splitting Sword, appeared in his hand. He swung it fiercely forward to collide with Xing Chen's Blood Seal. After a loud explosion, Qizeyu instantly spat out blood and was sent flying backward.
Meanwhile, after licking his lips, Xing Chen lunged forward again, his hand radiating a rich blood light as the Blood Seal condensed once more and struck fiercely towards Qizeyu.
