Death Grip
Boom!
As the two collided, the ground beneath Xing Chen suddenly sank, and at the same time, a purplish-red Thunderfire Divine Shield rose around him. The terrifying aftershocks in the air pressed down like an overwhelming tide, as if they were trying to force Xing Chen directly into the ground.
Qi Gaojie, the first core disciple of the Sword Sect, struck with a casual blow that required Xing Chen to use all his strength just to barely withstand it. Judging by Qi Gaojie's calm demeanor, this attack was clearly just a very ordinary strike.
Yet, even this most ordinary attack generated aftershocks that were relentless and impossible to resist. If it weren't for the protection of the Thunderfire Divine Shield, Xing Chen would have already coughed up blood and been severely injured.
"Did he actually block it?"
Beside them, Qian Hongkai looked at Xing Chen in shock. Although Qi Gaojie's previous strike seemed light and effortless, it had indeed utilized Ling Jue from the Sword Nine Formula. Even someone at the same level in the Yang Spirit Realm might not be able to withstand Qi Gaojie's blow without injury, yet Xing Chen, who was merely at the peak of the Earth Soul Realm, managed to block it!
"Oh? Not bad at all. You actually managed to withstand my Ling Jue. Although you relied on the power of the Thunderfire Pearl, that's still quite impressive. You should be proud."
Qi Gaojie looked at Xing Chen indifferently. Originally, this move was almost guaranteed to severely injure or kill Xing Chen, but he never expected such a result.
"Proud my ass!" Xing Chen cursed loudly. Just looking at Qi Gaojie's smug expression made him want to smash his face in. However, since Xing Chen's strength wasn't that great yet, he could only endure for now.
"Looking for death!" A cold glint flashed in Qi Gaojie's eyes. This was the first time he had ever been insulted like this. As someone who had always been praised wherever he went, he had never encountered anyone who dared to speak to him in such a manner, which instantly filled him with rage.
"The one looking for death is you!"
With a cold snort, Xing Chen summoned his Thunder God Sword, with arcs of Electric Silver Serpent flickering continuously along its blade.
"Earth Grade Divine Weapon?" A flicker of surprise crossed Qi Gaojie's eyes, revealing a hint of caution. Even he dared not underestimate an Earth Grade Divine Weapon.
"Nine Thunder Strikes, Thunder Descends Upon the World!
Xing Chen pointed his sword at the sky, as dark clouds gathered and a fierce wind stirred. In an instant, four bolts of lightning struck down in succession, and a terrifying wave of energy slowly brewed on the Thunder God Sword. This dreadful power made Qi Gaojie furrow his brow slightly.
"The power of this lightning is formidable; this strike could likely kill a strong practitioner at the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm. Even an ordinary Yang Spirit Realm first-layer expert could be severely injured by it."
As Qi Gaojie's gaze flickered, the killing intent in his eyes grew increasingly intense. The more talented Xing Chen appeared, the heavier the killing intent in his heart became.
"Crack Technique!"
Qi Gaojie formed his fingers into a sword without drawing a weapon, as if he believed that Xing Chen was not worth using a weapon against. To draw a weapon would be an insult to himself.
A shocking Sword Light was instantly unleashed, as if the ground itself would be cleaved in two by this strike. An unparalleled massive momentum radiated out, exerting pressure all around.
"Fourfold Thunder!"
Xing Chen raised his sword and pointed; four bolts of lightning shot out in succession, filling the surroundings with a violent force of thunder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of violent explosions echoed, and the surrounding trees were instantly destroyed. The space trembled slightly, with countless shockwaves continuously erupting, sending chills down people's spines.
"Is this still Earth Soul Realm? When did Earth Soul Realm become capable of withstanding Yang Spirit Realm?" Qian Hongkai, standing nearby, muttered in shock. He had never seen such a powerful Earth Soul Realm practitioner before; in fact, he had never even heard of one. This was no longer a battle between Earth Soul Realm and Yang Spirit Realm, but clearly two top-tier experts of Yang Spirit Realm clashing!
No wonder people die when compared to others, and goods are discarded when compared to goods. Today, Qian Hongkai finally understood the true meaning of this saying. Being at the peak of Earth Soul Realm, he looked at others and then at himself, feeling an overwhelming sense of despair.
"I'll see how much Vital Energy you have to waste against me!"
At this moment, Xing Chen and Qi Gaojie had reached a stalemate. The Crack Technique from Qi Gaojie collided with Xing Chen's Fourfold Thunder, locking them in place where neither could gain the upper hand.
However, Qi Gaojie is a strong figure in the Yang Spirit Realm. In terms of endurance in battle, he is definitely stronger than Xing Chen. If this continues, Xing Chen will undoubtedly lose.
"Quick, take advantage of the moment and help kill him. We'll split the bounty items evenly!"
Just as the two were at a stalemate and Qian Hongkai was observing from the side, Qi Gaojie suddenly sent a soul message to Qian Hongkai, causing Qian Hongkai's eyes to light up instantly.
Isn't his purpose for coming here to capture Xing Chen and then obtain those bounty treasures? Now the opportunity is right in front of him; it all depends on whether he can seize it.
Qian Hongkai looked at Xing Chen, his eyes gradually becoming fiery. As long as he kills him now, he can obtain the Earth Grade Divine Weapon and Earth-Level Martial Arts. If he kills him, his future will definitely be smooth sailing!
Qian Hongkai's heart raced, his face flushed, and he felt an overwhelming excitement, clearly already starting to dream dreams unsuitable for the night.
"Qian Hongkai, if you make a move against me, you will definitely regret it. I know Qi Gaojie must have urged you to attack me and promised you treasures, but think about it—how could the first core disciple of the Sword Sect share treasures with you?"
"It’s very likely that he will kill you to silence you afterward. Even if he doesn’t kill you, you will certainly end up with nothing. Instead, why not help me kill Qi Gaojie now and directly seize what he has? I believe his possessions won’t be much worse than those bounty items."
"You need to think carefully: one is a treasure right before your eyes, and the other is an illusion. Ultimately, consider whom you want to help!"
Just as Qian Hongkai was tempted to make a move, Xing Chen's cold voice suddenly poured over him like a bucket of cold water, making Qian Hongkai calm down instantly.
Xing Chen was right. Even if he did kill him, based on Qi Gaojie's character, it was indeed very likely that he would kill him to silence him afterward. At that point, not only would he gain nothing, but he would also lose his life.
On the other hand, things were different with Xing Chen. He still had value for use; if he helped him now, regardless of what happened later, at least for now he wouldn’t have to worry about his life safety. Moreover, just as Xing Chen said, the treasures on Qi Gaojie might not be much better than those bounty items.
Thinking of this, Qian Hongkai instantly solidified his resolve.
"Wind Thunder Palm!"
Qian Hongkai's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and then a faint sound of wind and thunder emanated from his body. Wind and thunder flickered in his hands, and in an instant, a momentum not weaker than that of a Soul Realm Expert erupted from Qian Hongkai.
Xing Chen's gaze shifted slightly; he did not expect to have misjudged this time. Qian Hongkai turned out to be quite talented.
At this moment, Qian Hongkai had already grasped the wind and thunder, striking towards Qi Gaojie with one palm. The air trembled with wind and thunder, and a sense of crisis suddenly emerged in Qi Gaojie's heart.
"Overestimating yourself!"
A flash of killing intent appeared in Qi Gaojie's eyes, and then a layer of fiery red shield rose around him, instantly enveloping him.
Bang!
Qian Hongkai's palm struck the fiery red shield, but he was directly sent flying. However, Xing Chen seized the opportunity, exerting force on the Thunder God Sword. The power of Fourfold Thunder surged forth, instantly overwhelming Qi Gaojie's crack technique.
Seeing the Phantom of the Thunderclap Sword being shattered in mid-air, Qi Gaojie's face turned ashen. He had actually suffered a loss at the hands of someone merely at the Earth Soul Realm; it was an utter humiliation.
Boom!
As Fourfold Thunder struck down, Qi Gaojie moved his body and quickly retreated to avoid the attack.
"Good, what a Thunder Descends Upon the World! You've actually forced me to retreat; truly impressive!" Qi Gaojie said with a dark expression, glaring fiercely at Xing Chen, speaking each word slowly.
At this moment, Xing Chen's face was also pale, his body swaying slightly. His Vital Energy was nearly depleted and absolutely insufficient to support a hard fight against Qi Gaojie.
"Likewise, your crack technique is the strongest I have seen so far; it is far superior to Yang Xingguang and the others," Xing Chen said breathlessly in a cold tone.
"Hmph, this is where you end. With the next strike, I will take your life." Qi Gaojie coldly snorted, and a long sword appeared in his hand. This was the first time he had drawn a weapon, clearly indicating that he truly regarded Xing Chen as a formidable opponent.
"This is an Earth-Level Intermediate Divine Weapon, the Destruction Sword. To die under the Destruction Sword is something to be proud of," Qi Gaojie slowly wiped the Destruction Sword in his hand while coldly staring at Xing Chen.
The Earth-Level Intermediate Divine Weapon, Destruction Sword, was the strongest Divine Weapon in the Sword Sect, aside from the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword currently being forged. It was even superior to the Thunder God Sword in Xing Chen's possession.
"An Earth-Level Intermediate Divine Weapon..." Xing Chen's expression also became serious. In his current state, if he were to take this hit, he would definitely face certain death. However, he was not without his trump cards. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Thunderfire Divine Ring on his finger.
The Thunderfire Divine Ring had accumulated energy over a thousand years, and at this moment, the energy contained within it was enough to annihilate a powerful opponent like Gaze of Fate. However, Xing Chen had been reluctant to use it because it was his last resort for survival and should not be activated unless absolutely necessary.
But now it seemed that not using it was not an option. It was just unfortunate that the power accumulated in the Thunderfire Divine Ring over a thousand years would be used against someone from the Yang Spirit Realm.
"Take this! Annihilation Technique!"
Qi Gaojie’s Destruction Sword glowed with brilliance as a sense of destruction instantly spread outwards.
As Qi Gaojie swung his sword, a fierce wind arose, and dust and stones flew everywhere; it was as if one sword could destroy the earth and dominate the common people!
This was an incredibly powerful strike, far stronger than what Yang Xingguang had unleashed. As Xing Chen looked at the sword light that seemed capable of annihilating everything, his fingers involuntarily brushed against the Thunderfire Divine Ring.
