Death Grip
Watching the fleeing Xing Chen and others in the square, Azure Wind Phoenix was filled with anger. Despite being well-prepared this time and facing these severely injured individuals, they still failed to kill them.
"Master, this large door should lead to the burial site of the Thunderfire Deity," a member of the Zhi Family stepped forward and spoke.
"Chase them! We absolutely cannot let them leave the Inheritance site alive," Azure Wind Phoenix said with a grim expression.
If these individuals were not dealt with now, it would be themselves who would face consequences once they left, especially Zhen Hanhe. He must not be spared; otherwise, once he returned to Guangyang Prefecture, the Zhi Family would undoubtedly face a deadly calamity.
...
"Everyone, I think it's better for us to split up. If we stay together, it will be easy for the Zhi Family to take us all out at once," Xing Chen said as he glanced at the group.
"I agree that we should separate and not gather in one place; otherwise, it would indeed be easy for the Zhi Family to wipe us out," Xun Yuhuan said, her eyes flickering as she nodded in agreement.
"I think so too," Zhen Hanhe also nodded.
Each of them had their own ulterior motives for suggesting this. First of all, they were all severely injured and needed medicinal pills to heal. However, none of them trusted each other enough to rely on anyone else for help, so their injuries remained untreated until now!
Additionally, being gathered together made it inconvenient for anyone who wanted to act alone. Thus, the proposal to split up was quickly agreed upon by everyone.
"You two remember to protect the Thunderfire Classic. If it gets taken by the Zhi Family, I will definitely not let you off," Xun Yuhuan said fiercely to Xing Chen and Meng Xiner.
"Don't worry, even if you die, the Zhi Family won't be able to take the Thunderfire Classic from us," Xing Chen snorted coldly, his expression unchanged.
"Since things have been settled, let's part ways again. We'll meet at the bottom and deal with the Zhi Family directly then." Zhen Hanhe glanced at everyone and was the first to rise, swiftly leaving using his movement technique. The others followed suit, leaving only Xing Chen and Meng Xiner behind.
"What should we do next?" Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen. At this moment, it was just the two of them left, and with everyone else gone, Meng Xiner felt no need to hold back and asked directly.
"We must shake off the Zhi Family's people and then plan our next move." Xing Chen's gaze flickered. The Zhi Family had become a significant threat to everyone here; if they weren't eliminated, there would be no hope for the Inheritance.
"Are you okay with your injuries?" Meng Xiner asked with a hint of concern in her eyes. She had clearly seen that Xing Chen had been injured during his confrontation with Zhen Hanhe.
"The injury is nothing serious." Xing Chen's gaze turned towards the depths of the passage, where there were more than ten forks. No one knew where these paths led. Just moments ago, Xun Yuhuan and the others had chosen different paths, and now it was Xing Chen's turn to pick one to leave.
"You choose one!" Xing Chen glanced at Meng Xiner. Choosing which path to take was purely a matter of luck, and luck was something he lacked. Therefore, he wisely left this decision to Meng Xiner.
"Alright, let's take the one on the far edge!" Meng Xiner pondered for a moment before smiling and suggesting.
Xing Chen nodded. The situation here was chaotic; every choice could affect their fate. However, he never believed he had any luck left, so he preferred to trust Meng Xiner's choice rather than make his own judgment.
"You must have taken quite a few Rare Treasures during the chaos, right?" Xing Chen looked at Meng Xiner casually.
"What are you trying to say?" Meng Xiner asked warily, thinking he might want to split those treasures with her.
"I'm just asking; I have no intention of sharing," Xing Chen rolled his eyes. He found Meng Xiner's wariness amusing; even in such a life-and-death situation, she still cared about those things. He didn't know what to think about that.
"Ugh, do you think the Zhi Family will come after us?" Meng Xiner asked with a pout.
"They will definitely pursue us. However, whether they will actually chase us down is uncertain." Given the Zhi Family's current actions, they would not let them go easily and would surely try to eliminate them. So they would definitely be hunted down; as for who specifically would be targeted, that was unknown since everyone had already scattered. Who knew which one of them the Zhi Family would choose?
Along the way, Xing Chen and the others did not encounter any pursuit from the Zhi Family, nor did they come across any traps or mechanisms. They safely and smoothly exited the passage.
This smooth journey left both Xing Chen and Meng Xiner feeling somewhat incredulous.
"Look, what is that?" Just as Xing Chen and Meng Xiner stepped out of the passage, Meng Xiner suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed.
Xing Chen looked up to see a humanoid Puppet standing over two meters tall. This Puppet was entirely black, with two sharp horns on its head, wide fangs, claw-like hands, blood-red eyes, and its body covered in black scales, giving it an incredibly fierce and violent appearance.
Just as Xing Chen and Meng Xiner turned to look at it, the Puppet lunged at them like a cheetah, its clawed fingers aimed directly at Xing Chen's head.
With a whoosh!
Xing Chen reacted slightly slower; as he dodged, the Puppet's claws instantly tore through the fabric on his shoulder, leaving five long bloody marks on his arm. If he hadn't dodged quickly enough, it might have pierced his skull and killed him instantly.
"Ah!" Seeing the Puppet's ferocity, Meng Xiner couldn't help but scream. Just from that one strike, it was clear that this Puppet's strength was at least in the Soul Realm.
"Ninefold Thunder Palm!"
Xing Chen's expression turned cold as he struck out toward the Puppet. Lightning gathered in his palm, and an immense amount of thunder surged between his hands. This strike instantly caved in the Puppet's chest significantly.
"Roar..." The Puppet let out a roar, its arms flailing wildly, tearing through the air with explosive sounds. Facing such an attack, Xing Chen did not dare to be careless; the Earth Grade Divine Weapon, Thunder God Sword, appeared in his hand in an instant.
Xing Chen took a step forward, his body shrinking as he transformed into a streak of starlight, shooting forward like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the Puppet and mercilessly swung the Thunder God Sword at its neck.
With a whoosh!
The sword directly severed the head of the Puppet. The power of the Earth Grade Divine Weapon was not something a mere Puppet could block!
"Are you okay?" Meng Xiner asked softly, looking at Xing Chen's injured right arm.
"I'm fine. It must be that damned Thunderfire Deity's doing again," Xing Chen replied, nodding. He then let out a curse; the Thunderfire Deity was truly a relentless tormentor. Thinking about how many more traps and mechanisms lay ahead made him feel an urge to curse even more.
"Alright, stop sulking. We should hurry to the last level of the temple!" Seeing Xing Chen's angry expression, Meng Xiner couldn't help but smile.
"Let's go!" Xing Chen said grumpily as he continued forward. However, it wasn't long before they encountered a beast—a Demon Wolf with Soul Realm Pinnacle cultivation, strong and formidable. Xing Chen knew this was definitely another arrangement by that murderous Thunderfire Deity.
"Damn it, that despicable Thunderfire Deity," Xing Chen cursed inwardly. But when it came time to act, he had to do so, channeling all his frustration towards the beast.
"Seven Killing Blood Seal!" Right from the start, Xing Chen unleashed the most lethal Seven Killing Blood Seal. Instantly, an overwhelming aura surged forth, dominating the Cosmos like an Angry Dragon emerging from the sea, tearing through space as it struck at the Demon Wolf.
"Aw..." The Demon Wolf howled fiercely, leaping into the air with its claws slicing through the air, bringing a chilling wind as it swiped at the Blood Seal.
Bang!
The Seven Killing Blood Seal hit the Demon Wolf, sending it flying to the ground. It let out a mournful cry but quickly stood up again. Pushing off the ground with its hind legs, it transformed into a gray shadow and charged at Xing Chen once more, its jaws wide open, revealing sharp white teeth as it aimed for Xing Chen's neck.
Xing Chen narrowed his eyes and executed Earth-Level Martial Arts—Shattering Star Finger. With a single point of his finger, Starry Turmoil unleashed thousands of stars that fell like meteors, transforming into his finger and carrying an overwhelming force as he pointed and exploded the Demon Wolf's head.
"Wow, Xing Chen, you're amazing! I'm so impressed! Such a strong Demon Wolf was killed with just one finger from you," Meng Xiner cheered excitedly from the side, her face filled with joy.
"No matter how much you praise me, I won't give you this Demon Wolf's Demon Core," Xing Chen said, glancing at Meng Xiner and instantly understanding her thoughts.
"You can't think of others that badly. I'm just speaking the truth!" Meng Xiner pouted, her face showing a look of grievance.
Xing Chen didn't say much and directly 'dissected' the Demon Wolf, extracting the Demon Core from its body.
The Demon Core is the essence of a magical beast, which not only aids in cultivation but can also be detonated in critical moments to kill one's enemies.
This Soul Realm Demon Wolf's Demon Core is powerful enough to kill a Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm expert and injure those in the Yang Spirit Realm, its power not weaker than the Thunderfire Bomb of the Yang Kingdom Royal Family.
After putting away the Demon Core from the Demon Wolf, Xing Chen and Meng Xiner continued forward. Along the way, countless traps and obstacles made Xing Chen's hatred for the unknown Thunderfire Deity feel as if it could not be washed away even by the waters of three rivers and five lakes.
At this moment, after killing another magical beast, Xing Chen finally couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Thunderfire Deity, when I find you, if I don't whip your corpse a thousand times, then I swear I'll take your surname!"
Xing Chen's words echoed continuously in the empty space.
