Death Grip
As soon as Xing Chen's voice fell, he quickly made contact with the seal, and a dense aura of killing intent instantly radiated out, enveloping Yixing Sheng and the others.
"Run!"
For those who had just witnessed Xing Chen's strength, they had no thoughts of resistance at this moment. Xing Chen was simply too powerful; even Qin Yutang from the Yang Spirit Realm was no match for him, so naturally, they were even less capable of standing against him.
Even if they borrowed the power of the earth to unleash a devastating strike, it would surely not inflict any harm on Xing Chen. They only had one thought now: to run, to run as fast as possible, to run as far as possible.
"Want to run?" Seeing these people trying to escape, a disdainful smile appeared on Xing Chen's lips. He then launched five Blood Seals from his hand, shooting them out fiercely.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five Blood Seals shot out, instantly claiming the lives of several elders. The only ones who managed to escape were Yixing Sheng and another elder with the strongest abilities.
"Thunder Descends Upon the World!" Xing Chen pointed the Thunder God Sword into the air, and in an instant, a bolt of lightning struck down, emanating a terrifying wave from the Thunder God Sword.
"Go!" Xing Chen pointed forward with the Thunder God Sword, and a bolt of thunder shot out instantly, hitting the last elder of the Remnant Sword Sect.
"Ah—"
Accompanied by a piercing scream, all of the top experts from the Remnant Sword Sect, except for their leader Yixing Sheng, were annihilated by Xing Chen.
"Remnant Sword Technique!"
Seeing that Xing Chen was about to attack him, Yixing Sheng hurriedly took the initiative. He retrieved a top-tier human-grade remnant weapon from his Storage Ring and slashed it out in an instant.
A remnant sword Phantom appeared instantly, carrying boundless might as it slashed toward Xing Chen.
"It’s the Remnant Sword Technique, Heart!"
At this moment, Hun Haoran reminded, "The Remnant Sword Technique is the highest martial art of the Remnant Sword Sect. The sect leader, Yixing Sheng, once used this technique to slay a powerful opponent at the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm."
"Ninefold Thunder Palm!"
Xing Chen looked at the incoming Remnant Sword and instantly struck out with a palm. Dense lightning energy gathered in his hand and collided with the Remnant Sword Phantom.
"Boom!" A loud sound erupted as Xing Chen's body shook slightly, and the ground beneath him sank, cracking apart instantly.
Puff!
On the opposite side, Yixing Sheng fared even worse; his entire form was sent flying by the recoil from Xing Chen's palm strike, crashing heavily onto the ground in the distance.
"Die!"
Seeing Yixing Sheng fall to the ground, a cold light flickered in Xing Chen's eyes. He once again unleashed the Seven Killing Blood Seal, five Blood Seals stacking together and shooting out like an Angry Dragon towards Yixing Sheng.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of violent explosions rang out. Being struck by such an attack, Yixing Sheng was undoubtedly dead beyond any doubt.
"Go, take me to the Remnant Sword Sect first, then take me to Tongmen!" After killing Yixing Sheng, Xing Chen turned his gaze back to Hun Haoran.
The murderous intent in Xing Chen's eyes made Hun Haoran shiver involuntarily. He thought to himself that Xing Chen couldn't possibly be planning to directly massacre these two major sects, could he?
Though puzzled in his heart, Hun Haoran hurriedly led Xing Chen toward the direction of the Remnant Sword Sect, fearing that if Xing Chen was displeased, he might kill him without a second thought.
As Xing Chen made his way to the Remnant Sword Sect, Zong Hongfei, the leader of Tongmen, was entertaining three young men.
"Zong Hongfei, leader, you should already be aware of our purpose for coming this time," one of the young men in white said as he looked up at Zong Hongfei.
Although Tongmen was not considered a top-tier power within Sword Mound, it was definitely above average and close to being at the top. Leader Zong Hongfei possessed strength at the Yang Spirit Second Layer Peak; few could defeat him in a one-on-one fight throughout Sword Mound.
At this moment, the three people he was entertaining were outsiders from Sword Mound: Qi Gaojie, Zhen Hanhe, and Xun Yuhuan, who were pursuing Xing Chen.
Originally, outsiders like them were not allowed to enter Sword Mound. If it were discovered that powerful figures from the outside world entered Sword Mound, they would undoubtedly face a joint pursuit from all the major forces within Sword Mound.
As Tongmen, a relatively prominent force within Sword Mound, was actually hosting these disciples from the outside world, it would certainly lead to an attack from all factions if others saw this.
"Are you asking me to mobilize my forces to find a boy named Xing Chen from the Earth Soul Realm?"
Zong Hongfei looked at the three with confusion. In the outside world, these three were top talents, yet now they were joining forces to search for a boy from the Earth Soul Realm, which puzzled Zong Hongfei greatly.
"That's right. We hope the Sect Master can help us with this," Qi Gaojie slowly nodded, his gaze fixed intently on Zong Hongfei.
Before entering Sword Mound, Zong Hongfei was actually a disciple of the Sword Sect. However, for unknown reasons decades ago, he suddenly became a traitor of the Sword Sect and was pursued relentlessly. He had no choice but to enter Sword Mound and establish his own force here.
Looking back now, it was clear that the events back then were a play orchestrated by the Sword Sect itself, aimed at having someone on the inside in Sword Mound to deal with situations like this one.
"This is definitely not a problem. However, I need you to provide me with detailed information about this person. What is his combat power? What kind of Martial Arts trump cards does he possess?"
Zong Hongfei pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.
After Qi Gaojie and the others explained, Zong Hongfei gained a preliminary understanding of Xing Chen. His strength was at the Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle, truly comparable to a Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm in combat power.
He possessed an Earth Grade Divine Weapon, the Thunder God Sword, mastered at least three Earth-Level Martial Arts techniques, and had an exceptionally mysterious movement technique.
"Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle can rival Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm? You can't be serious?"
Zong Hongfei looked at Qi Gaojie and the others with skepticism; it seemed he had never heard of anyone being able to contend with a Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm while still in the Earth Soul Realm.
"How could we joke about something like this? We must ask the Sect Master to help us this time; after all, we are unfamiliar with this place and finding him is quite difficult."
Qi Gaojie spoke slowly.
"Alright, since that's the case, I will definitely help with this. However, it may take some time."
Zong Hongfei lightly tapped the armrest of his chair and spoke. At this moment, he was filled with curiosity about Xing Chen. What kind of person could make the strongest Three Major Forces of the Sword Kingdom join forces to hunt him down?
"Thank you, Sect Master Hongfei," Qi Gaojie and the others said as they stood up and clasped their fists.
"You are too polite; this is just a matter of business," Zong Hongfei replied with a smile.
"Sect Master, something bad has happened..." Just then, a panicked voice suddenly echoed in the hall, followed by a figure rushing in quickly, panting as he spoke.
"Sect Master... Qin... Senior Brother Qin Yutang has been severely injured..." The disciple spoke hurriedly, but before he could finish, he noticed Zong Hongfei's expression change slightly. Qin Yutang was his most favored disciple.
Now that he had been severely injured by someone, anger surged within him instantly.
"Master..." At that moment, Qin Yutang, who had been severely injured by Xing Chen and had escaped using Blood Shadow Escape, staggered into the hall. He weakly called out for his master before collapsing onto the ground.
Zong Hongfei moved swiftly and appeared in front of Qin Yutang in an instant. He took out a pill from his Storage Ring and fed it to Qin Yutang while his expression darkened.
"Sect Master Hongfei, may we take a look at his injuries?" Xun Yuhuan suddenly spoke up as he looked at the severely injured Qin Yutang, his eyes lighting up slightly.
He sensed a familiar aura from Qin Yutang—an aura that belonged to the Ninefold Thunder Palm and Seven Killing Blood Seal used by Xing Chen.
These two martial arts signatures were something Xun Yuhuan would never forget in his lifetime. Therefore, upon seeing Qin Yutang for the first time, he was already certain that this person had definitely been harmed by Xing Chen.
Zong Hongfei glanced at Xun Yuhuan with slight confusion but then nodded.
"It really is him. I didn't expect that after just a short time apart, his strength has already reached this level!"
After examining Qin Yutang's injuries, Xun Yuhuan no longer had any doubts. This was definitely the work of Xing Chen. Initially uncertain about his judgment, he was now completely convinced.
"Is it Xing Chen? He has actually reached the level of Severe Injury to the Yang Spirit Realm?" Zhen Hanhe and Qi Gaojie also stood up at this moment.
"You will know if you come over and take a look yourselves. You have all fought him before, so you should be familiar with his Martial Arts. This person was clearly injured by Xing Chen's Ninefold Thunder Palm and Seven Killing Blood Seal; there is no doubt about it."
Xun Yuhuan nodded and motioned for Qi Gaojie and the others to examine Qin Yutang's injuries.
After looking, they indeed found that this person had been injured by Xing Chen's Martial Arts. However, they were surprised to see that Xing Chen had already attained such strength.
"Given Xing Chen's personality, if he dealt such a heavy blow to this person, then there must be an irreconcilable hatred between them. He will definitely come here," Xun Yuhuan continued. During this time, he had thoroughly analyzed Xing Chen's character, so he almost instantly understood Xing Chen's intentions.
"Are you suggesting that we set up a trap here and wait for him to come, then catch him like a fish in a barrel?" Zhen Hanhe asked, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Xun Yuhuan.
"Exactly. I believe that when the time comes, we will definitely be able to capture Xing Chen in one fell swoop. Otherwise, with his rate of growth, in just a few years our major forces will be wiped out by him," Xun Yuhuan replied.
They had already deeply felt the threat posed by Xing Chen, so they had to take the initiative.
