Death Grip
At a critical moment in his cultivation, he was suddenly interrupted by someone, nearly suffering a backlash. Anyone in this situation would be furious.
Qian Yutang felt a slight shift in expression upon hearing the angry voice. From that voice, he could sense that the person was definitely a strong individual, as it contained an overwhelming aura.
Even those at the Soul Realm Pinnacle or Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm would surely be intimidated by this voice.
“Damn it, I want to see who dares to disturb my cultivation!”
A heavily suppressed voice slowly emanated from the secret chamber, sounding like an impending storm or an erupting volcano. Although it hadn't fully erupted yet, it was brewing.
“Oh? Finally coming out?” Qin Yutang observed the figure slowly emerging and revealed a cold smirk. At this moment, he had already discerned the person's strength—merely at the early peak of Soul Realm. Such a person could be killed with just one finger.
“Disturbing my cultivation, you deserve to die!” Xing Chen's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty red light as he looked at Qin Yutang with no hint of emotion.
“A mere Soul Realm dares to speak so arrogantly; the one who should die is you for daring to take what belongs to me, Qin Yutang!” The killing intent flickered in Qin Yutang's eyes as he suddenly pointed forward. This finger contained endless sharpness and vigor, resembling a colossal divine sword descending from above, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it instantly pointed at Xing Chen.
“Seven Killing Blood Seal, five seals stacked!”
Xing Chen quickly formed seals with his palm, and five Blood Seals radiating intense blood light slowly appeared in his hand, releasing a strong aura of slaughter.
Whoosh!
The five blood seals stacked together and collided with the astonishing Sword Light. In an instant, blood light flickered and sword energy surged, causing the entire Cave to collapse under this strike.
Swish! Swish!
Both Xing Chen and Qin Yutang vanished simultaneously with a shake of their figures, reappearing outside the secret cave.
“A mere Soul Realm possesses such strength; indeed not simple.” Qin Yutang coldly remarked as he looked at Xing Chen. Through their recent confrontation, he had fully understood Xing Chen's capabilities.
His strength was definitely not inferior to his own, and moreover, the opponent's Martial Arts were of a much higher level than his own.
"Die!" Xing Chen's face revealed a bloodthirsty expression, and without uttering a single word to Qin Yutang, he pointed directly at him.
To him, Qin Yutang had disturbed his cultivation, so he deserved to die. No matter the reason, Qin Yutang had to die!
As Xing Chen pointed out, it was as if countless stars pierced through layers of thick fog, cascading down and converging at Xing Chen's fingertip. The dreamlike starlight made one feel as if they were sinking into it, unable to extricate themselves.
Yet amidst this endless dream, a chilling killing intent suddenly emerged, causing the nearly entranced Qin Yutang to react instantly.
Then, he brushed his finger across the Storage Ring, and an Earth-Level Remnant Soldier instantly appeared in his hand. This Earth-Level Remnant Soldier was a low-level remnant weapon, its power higher than that of a Human-level weapon but lower than that of an Earth-level one, situated between Earth-level and Human-level.
"Sword Technique, One Sword Pass!"
Qin Yutang slashed out with his sword, instantly colliding with Xing Chen's Shattering Star Finger.
Boom!
As the two clashed, a terrifying shockwave immediately spread out. The Thunderfire Divine Shield appeared around Xing Chen in an instant; the horrific shockwave impacted the Thunderfire Divine Shield without causing any harm to Xing Chen.
Qin Yutang also held his sword horizontally, using the Earth Grade Divine Weapon to block the shockwave's impact.
"How strong... I didn't expect him to actually have the strength to contend with the Yang Spirit Realm."
Beside them, Hun Haoran watched as Xing Chen fought evenly against Qin Yutang, his eyes filled with shock. Throughout his life, he had never seen anyone from the Soul Realm contend against the Yang Spirit Realm.
His companion Qian Hongkai was much calmer; after all, he had previously witnessed the scene of Xing Chen battling against the Yang Spirit Realm. Therefore, he remained relatively composed.
The most exaggerated reactions came from Yixing Sheng, the leader of the Remnant Sword Sect, and several elders of the Remnant Sword Sect. They stared at the distant battle between Xing Chen and Qin Yutang in disbelief.
"Is this really from the Soul Realm? How can there be such a powerful Soul Realm?"
"It must be fake; he must be hiding his true cultivation. His real strength must also be in the Yang Spirit Realm."
"Is Qin Yutang too weak, or is that person too strong? How could this happen..."
The members of the Remnant Sword Sect almost simultaneously murmured in disbelief. After all, this scene was too shocking, making it hard for them to believe their own eyes.
"Sword Technique, Thoroughly!"
Seeing that a powerful Yang Spirit Realm expert could not defeat a mere Soul Realm individual, Qin Yutang became furious and directly unleashed the strongest killing move from the Sword Technique.
"Ninefold Thunder Palm!"
Xing Chen's gaze was cold as he struck forward with a palm. Thunder rumbled within his body, and Lightning gathered, with purple light shining brightly from his palm. This lightning-fast palm collided with Qin Yutang's sword light in an instant.
"Fivefold Thunder Force!” Xing Chen unleashed five afterimages with one palm, crashing fiercely into the sword light.
Boom!
A loud sound echoed as Qin Yutang staggered back several steps, while Xing Chen also trembled slightly, his palm shaking a bit.
"How is this possible? Your mere Soul Realm strength can actually withstand me?"
After stabilizing himself, Qin Yutang looked up, disbelief filling his eyes. He simply could not believe that the first disciple of the sect could not handle someone from the Soul Realm, and even found himself at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
In fact, although Xing Chen was powerful, he could not gain the upper hand against a Yang Spirit Realm expert like Qin Yutang. At most, he could maintain a stalemate. To win, he would have to use the move Thunder Descends Upon the World. Otherwise, victory would be impossible.
The reason Xing Chen was able to gain the upper hand in this confrontation was due to the presence of Negative Power, which exerted a strong suppressive effect on them, limiting their strength to only about eighty percent of its full potential.
However, this Negative Power did not suppress Xing Chen. Here, he could unleash all of his strength and even exceed it, making him more formidable than when outside.
Ignoring Qin Yutang's words entirely, Xing Chen stepped forward. A strong aura of killing intent suddenly emerged from him as the Thunder God Sword appeared in his hand. He then swung the sword fiercely forward.
The Electric Silver Serpent on the Thunder God Sword flickered continuously. As Xing Chen swung his sword, a powerful sword energy instantly formed and slashed toward Qin Yutang. The sword energy, imbued with endless thunder, appeared before Qin Yutang in an instant, leaving him no time to mount any defense.
"Clang!"
The sword struck fiercely against the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier, and Qin Yutang's body was sent flying, spitting blood in mid-air.
"How is this possible? Qin Yutang was actually defeated like this?"
"Is that a complete Earth Grade Divine Weapon? He actually has a complete Earth Grade Divine Weapon?"
"This Rascal is too monstrous. Master, we should run quickly; otherwise, once he frees his hands, we'll be in trouble!"
Seeing Qin Yutang being sent flying by Xing Chen's sword, several Soul Realm Experts from the Remnant Sword Sect had varied expressions.
"This is too impressive! The top talent of the sect, Qin Yutang, was defeated just like that?"
Hun Haoran looked at the situation in disbelief.
After all, Qin Yutang was a true talent and a powerful figure in the Yang Spirit Realm, a whole realm above Xing Chen. Yet under these circumstances, Qin Yutang lost to Xing Chen; no one would believe it if they heard about it.
"Earth Grade Divine Weapon? Who... exactly are you?"
Qin Yutang staggered to his feet, coughed up blood, and looked at Xing Chen slowly.
"Who I am is not something you need to concern yourself with. Prepare to die!" Xing Chen coldly stared at Qin Yutang and struck again with his sword. A sharp sword aura instantly shot out from the blade, slashing horizontally toward Qin Yutang.
"Blood Shadow Escape!"
Seeing the incoming sword aura, Qin Yutang's expression changed slightly. He then spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body transformed into a flash of blood light, instantly disappearing before Xing Chen. Xing Chen's strike hit nothing but air.
In this critical moment, Qin Yutang used a secret technique, Blood Shadow Escape, to escape in an instant. Xing Chen had seen this technique once before when he was with Meng Xiner dealing with the Azure Sky Eagle on Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain; it was the final move used by the Azure Sky Eagle.
"Hmph, do you think you can escape like this? Disturbing my cultivation won't be so easily forgiven!"
Xing Chen watched the direction in which Qin Yutang had fled, licking his lips with a bloodthirsty smile. Although Qin Yutang had temporarily escaped his sight, he knew that one could run from a monk but not from the temple; as long as he went to the Tongmen, he would definitely be able to find Qin Yutang.
"Take me to Tongmen. I want them to pay for what they did to Qin Yutang!" Xing Chen's figure flickered as he appeared in front of Hun Haoran, his voice cold and indifferent.
"There are still a few people over there..." Hun Haoran looked at the bloodthirsty look in Xing Chen's eyes, swallowed hard, and pointed at Yixing Sheng and others who were trying to escape.
Xing Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Yixing Sheng with a disdainful smile. "A few ants dare to provoke me."
Upon hearing Xing Chen's words, Yixing Sheng and the others turned pale. If they had not witnessed Xing Chen's strength before, they would have certainly been rude in response.
However, having just seen Xing Chen's power, they could only endure this humiliation; after all, Xing Chen's strength was evident, and he had the right to say such things.
"This brother, I admit that what I did was wrong. Could you please let us go?" Yixing Sheng said with a bitter expression, cupping his hands toward Xing Chen.
"Leave? I think you should stay here forever!" The murderous intent in Xing Chen's eyes was evident, showing no intention of letting these people go.
