Death Grip
With his current strength, facing the Yang Po Fivefold's Puppet would be a life-or-death situation. Moreover, he was not only dealing with one Yang Po Fivefold Puppet, but there were many other Puppets of varying strengths surrounding him.
If it were just this one Puppet, Xing Chen could manage to evade it after some back and forth, but the critical issue was that he was now surrounded by countless Puppets.
If he got entangled with this Yang Po Fivefold Puppet at this moment, he would basically be facing death.
Xing Chen rapidly considered his options while not slowing down his feet, continuously using Shadow Shift in an attempt to escape the pursuit of this Puppet.
"I absolutely cannot be caught by it; otherwise, I will surely die." The light in Xing Chen's eyes flickered uncertainly, and at this moment, there was no one close to him, neither in front nor behind him.
"Shattering Star Finger! One finger shatters the stars, two fingers break the ground, three fingers extinguish the firmament, four fingers dominate the Cosmos!"
A fierce look flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as he pointed backward repeatedly. The Yang Po Fivefold Puppet that relentlessly pursued him was struck by his four fingers, leaving four indentations on its body while its movement slightly paused, letting out an angry roar.
However, although these four strikes from Xing Chen slightly hindered the Puppet, they did not have a significant effect; the Puppet continued to rush toward him swiftly.
"Five Finger Divine Demon Fall!"
Seeing that the Puppet seemed unaffected by his previous attacks, Xing Chen pointed again with one finger—the final strike of Shattering Star Finger, Divine Demon Fall!
As he pointed out, a tremendous pressure instantly radiated from him, like the arrival of twilight for the gods, causing all divine beings to fall beneath this finger.
Boom!
A loud vibration echoed, and the entire Puppet Passage seemed to tremble slightly. The Yang Po Fivefold Puppet was finally pushed back a few steps by Xing Chen's pointed attack, leaving a finger-sized hole in its chest.
One had to admit that this Puppet was indeed powerful; after taking such a hit from Xing Chen, it only staggered back a few steps, paused for a moment, and then continued to pursue him.
"Damn, does it have to be this monstrous? If I had known, I would have just aimed for its head," Xing Chen glared resentfully at the Puppet that was relentlessly chasing him from behind.
At this moment, the distance between him and the Puppet was no more than a hundred meters. If it weren't for the fact that the Puppet couldn't use Martial Arts, even if Xing Chen hadn't been killed by it, he would definitely have been severely injured by now.
"Nine Thunder Fire!"
Xing Chen slightly opened his mouth, and a purplish-red orb flew out instantly. Then, an incredibly violent and domineering Nine Thunder Fire erupted from the Thunderfire Pearl.
Xing Chen brushed his finger across the Thunderfire Divine Ring, and a jade vial containing Holy Fire Elixir appeared in his hand. After swallowing a drop of Holy Fire Elixir, the power of the Nine Thunder Fire surging from the Thunderfire Pearl increased significantly.
All Puppets around him that did not exceed Yang Po San Chong were instantly melted into molten iron by the raging thunder fire. With the Puppets cleared ahead, Xing Chen found it much easier to run.
He continuously used Shadow Shift; each time he flickered, he reappeared over a hundred meters away. Without any pause, he used Shadow Shift again and vanished once more.
After repeating this several times, Xing Chen finally shook off the Yang Po Fivefold Puppet.
"Phew! I've finally escaped from that Yang Po Fivefold Puppet," Xing Chen looked back with lingering fear. Seeing that the Puppet was no longer pursuing him, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Is that... Yang Spirit Peak?" Suddenly, Xing Chen noticed a Puppet guarding the exit of the passage that was actually at the Yang Spirit Peak level.
This Puppet Xing Chen is something that cannot be dealt with no matter what. Even using the Earth Grade Divine Weapon Slaying God Sword would not harm this Puppet in the slightest.
At this moment, Zhao Yiming and his four companions were fighting against this Puppet. However, it seemed they were at a disadvantage, as their cultivation was only at Yang Po Er Chong. Although their Soul Power was strong, it was of no use against the Puppet.
“Spatial Restraint!” At that moment, Zhao Yiming shouted loudly, and a massive surge of Soul Power instantly emerged, restraining the surrounding space.
However, there were simply too many Puppets in this passage. He could not possibly restrain all of them, so this Spatial Restraint was only aimed at that particular Yang Spirit Peak Puppet.
“Spatial Restraint!”
The others also shouted almost simultaneously. With the combined Soul Power of these five, comparable to that of a Yang Spirit Peak, they successfully restrained the Yang Spirit Peak Puppet in an instant.
Then, the group swiftly activated their movement techniques and rushed towards the Puppet Palace. After all, although these Puppets were powerful, they had one limitation: they could only move within the passage and could not enter the palace.
“These people are indeed impressive!” Xing Chen silently praised them and then moved as well, rushing out of the passage and into the Puppet Palace.
“Everyone, hurry and recover your Vital Energy. Next, we will pass through the Thunderfire Passage to enter the Thunderfire Palace,” said Zhao Yiming, looking seriously at everyone. The last time they entered this palace, they stopped at the Thunderfire Passage.
Due to their lack of preparation last time and not having any treasures to resist thunder and fire, they had to be unwillingly teleported out. However, this time was different; everyone was prepared for the Thunderfire Passage.
Although people brought by Lu Yunhe had died, they surely had more than one plan. Even if those two unfortunate Rascals perished in the Yin Wind Passage, they must have other methods.
Xing Chen glanced at the Thunderfire Passage. He could feel the violent Thunderfire Power emanating from the passage. However, it was not yet time to challenge the Thunderfire Passage, so he did not observe for long. He merely took a quick look before beginning to recover his consumed Vital Energy.
Others also sat cross-legged with their eyes closed, recovering their Vital Energy. After all, the dangers in the Thunderfire Passage were far greater than those in the first three passages.
Passing through the Thunderfire Passage was definitely not a simple task.
While adjusting his breathing, Xing Chen was once again contemplating the idea of escaping. He had already made up his mind that he absolutely could not associate with these people; otherwise, when it came time to leave this place, it would be his moment of death.
Now, facing these individuals, there were only two options. The first was to fill the Thunderfire Divine Ring with power; this way, Xing Chen would have a powerful trump card and would no longer need to fear them.
The second option was to find an opportunity to separate from these people so that they could not find him. Currently, these were the only two methods that could ensure his survival.
"I can only see if I can find an opportunity in this Thunderfire Passage for the Thunderfire Divine Ring to absorb energy. If that doesn't work, then I will have to find a chance to escape."
Xing Chen's thoughts raced quickly, and soon an hour had passed; everyone had mostly recovered.
"Everyone, we don't know what awaits us in the palace at the end of the Thunderfire Passage. However, I still hope that when we reach the Thunderfire Palace, everyone will follow the previous rules and not fight over anything."
Seeing that everyone had nearly finished their recovery, Zhao Yiming stood up and glanced at everyone. Of course, his words were directed at Qiu Pengchi, Zhang Mengning, and others; they did not concern Xing Chen or the girl beside Zhang Mengning.
After all, Zhao Yiming and his group had never considered sharing any good items with Xing Chen and the others. Even if there were things they could not use, they would never let Xing Chen benefit from them.
"This Thunderfire Passage is uncharted territory for all of us. Besides the dense Thunderfire Power within the passage, we do not know what else lies ahead. Therefore, as we pass through the Thunderfire Passage, we can only rely on our own abilities," Zhao Yiming continued when he saw no objections from the crowd.
Last time they stopped before the Thunderfire Passage, although they had prepared this time, there was no one who could protect everyone's strength. After all, even though Xing Chen's Thunderfire Pearl could absorb Thunderfire Power, it also had its limitations and could not absorb it indefinitely.
Zhao Yiming was not sure whether Xing Chen could lead him through the Thunderfire Passage; he was completely gambling on it, betting that Xing Chen could get him through.
If even Xing Chen, who possessed the Thunderfire Pearl, could not pass, then he truly did not know who else could lead him through this Thunderfire Passage.
"Come with me!" Zhao Yiming glanced at Xing Chen and said calmly.
The others also wore serious expressions, their faces tense. No one knew if they would be able to pass through the Thunderfire Passage this time, but they all had to take a gamble. After all, if they really made it through, the rewards would be beyond their imagination.
Even for those treasures, they had to risk it this time.
Xing Chen slowly walked toward Zhao Yiming, his gaze flickering slightly at that moment.
Soon, everyone gathered in front of the Thunderfire Passage. From here, countless purple-red magma surged within the passage, leaving only a narrow path wide enough for a hand to walk on. Above them, lightning struck down from time to time.
The terrifying heat was even greater than that of the Fire Path in the Ice and Fire Passage. If the Thunderfire Passage only had lightning or only had fire, everyone could find a way to get through. However, it had both lightning and fire, which posed a challenge for everyone.
Not to mention the continuous strikes of lightning above; each bolt possessed the power of a full-force attack from a Yang Po San Chong expert. The Thunderfire Magma below was even more terrifying. Every time lightning struck down, even if it did not hit anyone directly, it would still strike into the magma. When that magma splashed onto someone, it might not take their life but would definitely cause unbearable pain.
