Death Grip
"I will kill you!" The Bian'an Demon Lord's eyes turned blood red with anger, and the Demonic Aura around him surged as he threw a powerful punch at Xing Chen.
Transcendent Fist of the Other Shore!
This punch was at least twice as powerful as the last time Xing Chen encountered him in the Eastern Region. Just a moment ago, the fist was still far away, but in the next instant, it was right in front of him.
Xing Chen's expression changed slightly as he quickly raised his Hate Demon Sword to block in front of him.
Clang!
A loud crash echoed as Xing Chen was instantly knocked backward, feeling a surge of blood and energy within him, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Is this the power of the Demon Lord? It's truly overwhelming..."
"That's right, it's incredibly strong. If it were us, we would have been killed hundreds of times by now."
"We should still support our friend the Emperor; he might be able to defeat the Demon Lord! Otherwise, our Hate Emperor Palace will definitely be unable to protect itself."
"Indeed, the Bian'an Demon Lord's strength is formidable. However, if you think you can kill me with this, you're mistaken." As Xing Chen spoke, his body returned to normal size. Against a powerhouse like the Bian'an Demon Lord, being larger was almost useless and would only waste his strength.
"Hmph, whether I can kill you or not, you'll find out after receiving another punch from me." The Bian'an Demon Lord said as he launched another fierce punch at Xing Chen.
"Underworld King Fist!"
Xing Chen had long been prepared for this and would not be like before, only able to defend. He directly unleashed the immensely powerful Underworld King Fist.
Boom!
A thunderous roar instantly echoed, causing the sea below to surge with towering waves. The tremendous force reverberated, shaking the entire Hate Emperor Palace.
Both Xing Chen and Bian'an Demon Lord simultaneously retreated, but Xing Chen fell back several dozen miles before stopping, while Bian'an Demon Lord only retreated a little over a hundred steps. It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
"Child, you are no match for me. Prepare to die!" Bian'an Demon Lord roared, and at the same time, the Crossing Blade appeared in his hand, slashing fiercely toward Xing Chen.
"Xing Chen, watch out!" At that moment, Xueqing and Meng Xiner exclaimed in alarm. Although they were seated atop the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, they could clearly see the situation below. Seeing Xing Chen at a disadvantage made their hearts race.
Xing Chen had just stabilized himself when he saw the formidable sword strike coming at him. A hint of panic appeared on his face. After all, while he was not an ordinary Half-Step Emperor, Bian'an Demon Lord was also not just any peak Emperor of Thunder Punishment. The power of Bian'an Demon Lord was nearly comparable to that of an ordinary monarch. Without the Spear of Punishment, Xing Chen could not hope to contend with a monarch, and there was no time to retrieve it now.
"Cang Biyou!" Xing Chen fully activated the Hate Demon Armor and used the strongest defensive technique from Ming Seven Styles, Cang Biyou. Two powerful shields were simultaneously placed upon him; even if he could not completely block the opponent's attack, at least it would reduce some damage.
Bang!
As Bian'an Demon Lord's sword struck Xing Chen, he was instantly sent crashing into the boundless sea.
With a dull thud, Xing Chen fell straight down. The surface of the sea turned blood-red in an instant; clearly, even with two powerful defenses, Xing Chen had suffered serious injuries from this blow.
"Xing Chen..." Xueqing and Meng Xiner screamed frantically upon witnessing this scene.
At that moment, a super powerful aura suddenly surged within the Hate Emperor Palace, and what was even more terrifying was that this aura was at least at the level of a Sovereign.
"The aura of the Hate Emperor? Could it be that he has really broken through to the Sovereign realm?" Upon sensing this aura, Bian'an Demon Lord was immediately horrified. He was all too familiar with the aura of the Hate Emperor, after all, he had once hunted the Hate Emperor. How could he not recognize it now?
"Bian'an Demon Lord, you actually dare to come to my Hate Emperor Palace? You really have some guts!" The words of the Hate Emperor thundered out like rolling thunder, crashing into Bian'an Demon Lord's mind.
With just this simple statement, Bian'an Demon Lord spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura quickly weakened. Just moments ago, he had been arrogant and invincible, but now, under a single word from the Hate Emperor, he was on the verge of vomiting blood. The power of the Hate Emperor was evident.
"Hate Emperor, I didn't expect you to have truly reached the Sovereign realm! However, don't get too proud. Even if I leave, Dark Demon Lord will soon descend upon your Hate Emperor Palace again. At that time, your Hate Emperor Palace will still be doomed," Bian'an Demon Lord wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to look towards where the Hate Emperor was.
"Hmph!" The Hate Emperor snorted coldly, his voice like thunder once again crashing into Bian'an Demon Lord's mind, causing him to spit blood once more.
This time, Bian'an Demon Lord learned his lesson and did not speak further; he turned to leave. However, it was somewhat too late for him to think about leaving because as soon as he turned around, he found someone staring intently at him from behind—this person was Xing Chen.
Having just been struck down into the sea by Bian'an Demon Lord's sword, Xing Chen certainly would not let Bian'an Demon Lord off so easily.
"Bian'an Demon Lord, you absolutely cannot leave here today," Xing Chen declared, a dark and deep light flashing in his eyes as he shouted, "Hate Demon Domain!"
As soon as Xing Chen's words fell, a powerful aura instantly enveloped Bian'an Demon Lord. At the same time, boundless Demonic Aura surged forth like a tide, forming an incredibly strong Hate Demon Domain outside.
"Otherworldly Demon Domain!" Bian'an Demon Lord refused to back down and unleashed his own demon domain. Suddenly, a powerful chasm appeared between them, and Bian'an Demon Lord's figure began to distance itself from Xing Chen.
The Otherworldly Demon Domain allows its user to remain unreachable by their opponent while on the other side; this is the strength of the Otherworldly Demon Domain and makes it one of the best domains for escaping.
"I want to leave!" Xing Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent. He absolutely would not let the other party go just like that. After all, he had almost died at the hands of this person, and if he let him leave now, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
"Haha, if I want to leave, even the Emperor can't stop me, let alone a mere Half-Step Emperor!" Bian'an Demon Lord laughed heartily.
"Can't stop you?" Xing Chen sneered, and then a Black Light flickered between his eyebrows as the Phantom of the Fate Jade Pendant appeared.
"Ming Seven Styles, Fifth Style, Continuous Strike!"
Xing Chen directly unleashed the fifth style of Ming Seven Styles, Continuous Strike. This technique was primarily used for chasing enemies and escaping. Once this move was executed, he could instantly merge with the surrounding environment. Within this distance, Xing Chen could appear wherever he wanted.
For instance, right now, Xing Chen had merged with the land within a hundred thousand miles. Within that range, he could appear anywhere at any time; even appearing on the other shore where Bian'an Demon Lord was located would not be a problem.
"Bian'an Demon Lord, you cannot escape from me!" Just as Bian'an Demon Lord was puzzled about why Xing Chen had suddenly disappeared, a voice suddenly came from behind him—this voice belonged to Xing Chen.
"Y-you how did you appear behind me?" Bian'an Demon Lord's face changed drastically. He simply couldn't believe how Xing Chen had crossed that chasm to reach the other shore. This had never happened before; even the Underworld God could only break through the chasm but could never cross over.
"You don't need to know that because you are going to die here today!" Xing Chen swung the Hate Demon Sword toward Bian'an Demon Lord in an instant.
"Transcendent Fist of the Other Shore!"
Due to the close distance, Bian'an Demon Lord couldn't swing his sword at all, so he could only use Transcendent Fist of the Other Shore to block Xing Chen's strike.
However, the Hate Demon Sword was no ordinary weapon; it was not something he could withstand with just his bare hands. As soon as the Hate Demon Sword collided with his fist, Bian'an Demon Lord's hand shattered instantly.
He let out a scream, and at the same time, he tore forward with his other hand, instantly ripping apart the space ahead.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Xing Chen made a gesture with his palm, and the Purple Gold Divine Dragon that was swirling in the air transformed into a beam of purple-gold light, shooting towards Xing Chen.
"Spear of Punishment! Thunder Dragon Annihilation!" Xing Chen thrust his spear forward fiercely, and with immense power, it pierced through the body of the Bian'an Demon Lord, forcibly expelling him from the space.
"Die together with me!" The Bian'an Demon Lord stared fiercely at Xing Chen, and a violent force slowly rose from his body, indicating an intention to self-destruct.
"Want to self-destruct?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow, instantly seeing through his intent. Most importantly, Xing Chen showed no intention of dodging, as if he were not afraid of the opponent's self-destruction at all.
"Xing Chen, get away!" Meng Xiner and Xueqing shouted loudly from behind Xing Chen.
"He can't self-destruct successfully!" Xing Chen slightly rotated the Spear of Punishment in his hand, and lightning flashed across it. Under this powerful electric force, the Bian'an Demon Lord's form that was about to self-destruct suddenly stopped because he was already completely dead and had no strength left to explode.
"The Demon Core of the Demon Lord is enough for me to break through to the Emperor Realm." Xing Chen took out the Bian'an Demon Lord's Demon Core, holding it in his hand and murmuring to himself.
As for the corpse of the Bian'an Demon Lord, it naturally fell into the sea without being shattered into pieces; that was already enough face for him.
