Death Grip
The crowd, which had already shown signs of despair, looked at the leader's token in Xing Chen's hand. Upon hearing his words, their eyes instantly turned red, and one by one, they charged forward recklessly, while the elite disciples all rushed towards Xu Xing.
A position as Vice Leader and a closed-door disciple of the gang leader—these two promises were enough to drive all the disciples of the Azure Cloud Gang into a frenzy.
"Child, you are seeking death!" Seeing the Azure Cloud Gang members going mad, Xu Xing's eyes flashed with killing intent as he suddenly struck out a palm towards Xing Chen.
"Bewitched by Immortals, Buddhas, and Spirits, **Plaque of the Underworld**—" As Xu Xing's palm came crashing down, a burst of silver light erupted from Xing Chen's eyes. Instantly, a feeling that made everyone's souls tremble spread throughout their hearts.
"This is..." Xu Song and others who had felt the power of **Plaque** turned to look at Xing Chen with expressions of terror. They would never forget what happened at the Inn; that power had nearly cost them their lives and was still fresh in their memories.
Buzz!
Xu Xing also felt dazed, as if a buzzing sound suddenly resonated deep within his soul. The palm strike he had sent out abruptly halted in mid-air.
"Go, kill him." Seeing Xu Xing momentarily lost in thought, Xing Chen shouted to the surrounding Azure Cloud Gang disciples. At the same time, he unleashed the **Seven Killing Blood Seal** again, crashing it towards Xu Xing.
The Azure Cloud Gang members, slightly dazed from the power of **Plaque**, immediately unleashed their strongest attacks upon hearing Xing Chen's command, striking Xu Xing.
Countless attacks descended. By the time Xu Xing reacted, it was too late to evade. Watching the powerful strikes come crashing down, his face twisted into a grimace. A dazzling flash of lightning flickered around him just as those powerful attacks hit his body.
Boom! Boom! Boom—
A series of thunderous roars echoed as dust flew everywhere. No one could see what was happening inside; whether Xu Xing lived or died remained unknown.
Moments later, as the dust settled, an angry roar suddenly erupted. As the dust cleared, Xu Xing was seen kneeling on one knee, blood continuously oozing from the corner of his mouth. He appeared disheveled and his aura was somewhat diminished.
"Good, very good. As expected of Yun Qing's second disciple, your skills are impressive. You actually managed to injure me to this extent." Xu Xing slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and coldly stared at Xing Chen. From the moment Xing Chen took out the Azure Cloud Gang leader's token, Xu Xing had already guessed his identity. After all, Eastern Sun Gang leader Xu Dongyang had met Xing Chen, and although most of the people under Eastern Sun Gang had not seen Xing Chen, they all knew that Yun Qing had taken on another disciple.
"Xu Xing, you cannot escape death today. Your men are nearly all dead, and there are no more than ten of you left who can still fight, including yourself. Meanwhile, we Azure Cloud Gang still have thousands of fighters ready to battle. We can easily wear you down." Xing Chen looked at Xu Xing with a cold expression, a bloodthirsty glint occasionally flashing in his eyes.
"Hahaha... You are too naive. Although this is your home ground, the strength of my Eastern Sun Gang is definitely not something a mere branch of your Azure Cloud Gang can contend with. A large number of our troops are about to enter the city, and when that happens, it will be you who dies." Xu Xing laughed heartily.
"The city gates have already been sealed by our people. Unless you Eastern Sun Gang deploy a strong fighter from the Yang Spirit Realm, it is absolutely impossible for you to break into the city." Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly; he suddenly had a bad premonition, but his face still wore an expression of confidence.
"Heh heh, even if you're clever, you're still just a child who hasn't fully grown up. Although you've sealed the city gates, the Teleportation Array in the city is under the control of my Eastern Sun Gang. As long as we send out two fighters from the Soul Realm, your defeat is certain." Xu Xing smiled slightly, his previously gloomy expression now tinged with amusement.
Xing Chen's expression changed. Xu Xing was right; although he had anticipated their reinforcements and had people seal the city gates, he hadn't expected that they would control the crucial Teleportation Array.
"Senior Brother?" At this moment, Xing Chen turned his gaze toward Qin Ying. He didn't know whether Xu Xing's words were true or false, but Qin Ying would certainly know since this was his territory.
"Is it him? Is that traitor helping you?" Upon seeing the questioning look in Xing Chen's eyes, Qin Ying's face instantly changed. The disciples responsible for guarding the Teleportation Array were all arranged by that Huang Duzhu, and now he couldn't bear to think about whether those guarding the array were disciples from the branch or not...
"Hehe, you finally understand. That's right; all the disciples guarding the Teleportation Array are from my Eastern Sun Gang." Xu Xing sneered coldly.
"In that case, we'll kill you first." A flash of killing intent appeared in Xing Chen's eyes. His figure flickered and disappeared from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind Xu Xing, delivering a merciless blow with his Ninefold Thunder Palm.
Boom!
Indeed, as expected of a powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Soul Realm, even after being severely injured, when he clashed with Xing Chen, he still managed to force him back more than ten steps.
"Everyone attack! Whoever kills Xu Xing will become the third closed-door disciple of our leader!" As he retreated, Xing Chen shouted loudly.
"Kill..." As soon as everyone heard this, they instantly became as if injected with adrenaline, crazily charging forward. Thousands of people launched their attacks simultaneously, and even Xu Xing, with his Soul Realm Pinnacle cultivation, could not withstand such a fierce assault.
"Fire Dragon Devouring the Sun..." Just as the crowd attacked Xu Xing, a fire dragon suddenly surged up from behind, then dove into the crowd and exploded. The scorching flames erupted among the people, instantly incapacitating dozens of disciples from the Azure Cloud Gang.
"Luo Tong..." Seeing the fire dragon surge up, Xing Chen and Qin Ying exchanged glances, both shocked by what they saw in each other's eyes. Qin Ying was astonished that Luo Tong would attack the disciples of the Azure Cloud Gang, while Xing Chen was shocked that Luo Tong had appeared here at all, and that his strength had actually reached Half-Step Soul Realm.
"The two young masters of the Azure Cloud Gang, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Luo Tong, holding the Eclipse Sun Sword, walked over to Xing Chen and the others with a cold smile.
"Luo Tong, what do you mean by this?" Looking at Luo Tong approaching step by step, Qin Ying, who was unaware of the situation, asked.
"Haha, I forgot to tell you, I am no longer a member of the Azure Cloud Gang. My current identity is the adopted son of Xu Dongyang, the leader of the Eastern Sun Gang." Seeing the puzzled expression on Qin Ying's face, Luo Tong laughed heartily.
Since leaving the Azure Cloud Gang, Luo Tong followed Xu Dongyang to the Eastern Sun Gang. Upon returning to the gang, Xu Dongyang immediately announced that he would adopt Luo Tong, which made him ecstatic after initially feeling a bit anxious. With Xu Dongyang's unwavering support, Luo Tong's cultivation rapidly advanced from early Human Soul Realm to Half-Step Soul Realm in just over half a month.
Everything he did not obtain in the Azure Cloud Gang, he gained in the Eastern Sun Gang. His identity, status, and everything else were worlds apart compared to his time in the Azure Cloud Gang, making him repeatedly grateful for his choice.
Of course, there was also selfishness behind Xu Dongyang's relentless support. The talent of Luo Tong was undoubtedly exceptional; with proper cultivation, it was not impossible for him to surpass even his mentor. After all, Luo Tong's father, Luo Lie, was one of the few strong figures in the Sun Kingdom. Even if he could not match up to Xu Shuo, he was not far off.
As the son of Luo Lie, Luo Tong's talent was no less than that of his father; in fact, it might even surpass it. For such a talent, it was only natural that Xu Dongyang would spare no effort in recruiting him. Not only did he adopt him as a son but also concentrated all resources on him.
"A mere traitor has no reason to be arrogant." Xing Chen snorted coldly, looking at Luo Tong with indifference.
"Xing Chen, we need to settle our accounts today. The humiliation you gave me back then will be repaid double." Seeing Xing Chen's expression, Luo Tong's eyes turned blood-red as a violent aura emanated from him.
"A defeated foe dares to speak so boldly?" The disdain in Xing Chen's gaze was unmistakable. He wanted nothing more than for Luo Tong to become enraged; as long as he was controlled by his anger, he would lose focus, increasing their chances of victory when they fought.
"Want to anger me? Then you will be disappointed." Looking at the disdain in Xing Chen's eyes, Luo Tong instead calmed down and continued, "Do you really think you can defeat me? If it weren't for Yun Qing making me lose to you back then, how could you have possibly won against me? And now you dare to flaunt this, aren't you ashamed?"
"Luo Tong, stop wasting words with them. They are taking the opportunity to recover their strength; hurry up and take them down before things change," Xu Xing said anxiously as he saw Luo Tong hesitating to make a move.
"Don't worry, they can't escape." Luo Tong licked his lips, and suddenly a fiery red light flashed in the air; it was the Eclipse Sun Sword being drawn. As the Eclipse Sun Sword was unsheathed, a wave of scorching heat instantly rushed towards Xing Chen and the others.
"Haha, that's right, they can't escape." At that moment, another voice came from afar. Accompanied by a sound of breaking air, a figure appeared beside Luo Tong. As soon as he appeared, he mockingly said, "Xing Chen, we meet again."
Xing Chen looked at the suddenly appearing man without changing his expression and said calmly, "Even if you bring ten more of these defeated subordinates, it would be useless."
"Good, as expected of Yun Qing's Closed-Door Disciple; you have guts. How about we have a match right now? I wasn't satisfied with my loss back then!" The man looked at Xing Chen with a playful expression.
"If someone wants to seek death, why would I not let them have their wish?" A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Xing Chen's lips as he looked up at the man.
