Death Grip
After learning the location of the Tongmen from Hun Haoran, Xing Chen hurried over alone this time. He did not bring anyone with him because the strength of Tongmen was not inferior to that of the Remnant Sword Sect.
There were many powerful practitioners from the Yang Spirit Realm in Tongmen, and the leader, Zong Hongfei, was a strong figure in the Yang Po Er Chong. He wasn't sure he could handle it alone, let alone with others as a burden, so he chose to go alone.
"Tongmen, led by Zong Hongfei, has a peak strength at the second level of the Yang Spirit Realm. The Four Great Protectors under him are all at the peak of the first level of the Yang Spirit Realm, along with dozens of disciples from the Soul Realm and hundreds from the Earth Soul Realm..."
As Xing Chen traveled, information about Tongmen flashed through his mind.
To be fair, Tongmen was powerful. If he went there, it could indeed result in a one-way trip. Of course, Xing Chen would never willingly seek death.
Now that he had advanced to the Soul Realm and was fully activating the Thunderfire Pearl, he could defend against even a Yang Po Fourfold strongman. Moreover, with the dense Negative Power in Sword Mound, he didn't have to worry about depleting his Vital Energy.
This Negative Power could continuously provide him with sufficient Vital Energy, ensuring that he wouldn't be killed due to exhaustion. As long as his Vital Energy didn't run out, Xing Chen would definitely be safe.
"Logically speaking, even if I can't kill Qin Yutang this time, I shouldn't have to worry about my own safety. But why do I feel an unsettling sense in my heart? As if something is about to happen..."
As Xing Chen moved forward, he furrowed his brow slightly. Ever since he headed toward Tongmen, an inexplicable feeling of unease had arisen within him. Clearly, there should be no life-threatening danger for him, yet this feeling of unease lingered.
...
Tongmen.
"Leader, how are preparations going?" Qi Gaojie quickly stood up and asked as Zong Hongfei walked in from outside.
Since Qi Gaojie and others learned that Qin Yutang was injured by Xing Chen and that Xing Chen might come knocking on their door, Zong Hongfei had been contacting experts from other sects.
Zong Hongfei was determined to spare no effort this time; he had to eliminate Xing Chen.
"Don't worry, the leaders of Slay the Dragon, Starfall Gate, and Blood Moon Sect have all agreed to bring their experts to help," Zong Hongfei nodded grimly.
"At that time, you must not reveal your identities. Once they find out that you are disciples of a major external force, they will definitely turn against me. By then, it won't just be you; even I will face extermination," Zong Hongfei said with some concern.
"You can rest assured about this. We are indeed your disciples, and we have all studied the Sword Technique. Although we are not very familiar with it yet, we can still execute it without any problems," Xun Yuhuan replied, fully aware of the stakes involved. If their identities were exposed, they would undoubtedly be besieged by all the major forces in Sword Mound.
"Good, since that's the case, let's wait for that person to arrive! If he dares to come, he definitely won't leave alive," Zong Hongfei said coldly, clearly still remembering how Qin Yutang was severely injured by Xing Chen.
The trap had already been set in the passageway, just waiting for Xing Chen to walk right into it. Unbeknownst to him, Xing Chen was still making his way there.
"Something's not right; there must be some changes in the passageway. Otherwise, this uneasy feeling wouldn't linger in my mind," Xing Chen muttered to himself as he approached the passageway with a furrowed brow.
"I must come up with a foolproof plan; otherwise, I absolutely cannot enter the passageway today."
Xing Chen pondered deeply, realizing that the Thunderfire Divine Ring could only unleash a single strike from the Soul Realm at this moment and wouldn't be of much use. Meanwhile, the Thunderfire Pearl's Nine Thunder Fire could at most heavily injure a powerful opponent at Yang Po San Chong level.
Aside from the Thunderfire Divine Ring and Thunderfire Pearl, there was also an Earth Grade Top-Tier Divine Weapon. With the power of this Divine Weapon, Xing Chen could definitely slay an opponent with combat strength reaching Yang Po Fourfold in an instant.
However, given Xing Chen's current cultivation level, he could only execute one strike at most. After that one strike, he would have no strength left to resist. Even absorbing the surrounding Negative Power would take some time to recover a bit.
"The Slaying God Sword is my last resort; I can't use it lightly unless it's absolutely necessary. So that leaves me with the Thunderfire Pearl. As long as I don't encounter a large number of Yang Spirit Realm experts attacking me simultaneously, I should be fine," Xing Chen murmured after a long contemplation.
"In total, there are five Yang Spirit Realm experts in the passageway including the master. If we count the severely injured Qin Yutang, that's six. Even if that number doubles, I am confident I can escape."
After hesitating for a moment longer, determination flashed in Xing Chen's eyes. No matter how he thought about it, he felt confident about his actions regarding the passageway. Thus, he stopped hesitating and directly approached the entrance.
"Shattering Star Finger! One finger shatters stars, two fingers break the earth, three fingers extinguish the sky, four fingers dominate the Cosmos!"
Upon arriving at the entrance of the passageway, Xing Chen wasted no time and swiftly pointed out four fingers. The four guarding Soul Realm Pinnacle experts instantly fell dead at his hands.
Boom!
Xing Chen's Shattering Star Finger unleashed tremendous power, creating a violent rumbling sound. Upon hearing the loud noise, Zong Hongfei, Xun Yuhuan, and others in the hall changed their expressions simultaneously and rushed out in an instant.
However, even faster than them were the Thunder and Lightning and the Four Great Protectors. These four sensed something was off the moment Xing Chen made his move.
Yet, even with their prior warning, they couldn't stop Xing Chen's actions in time.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Thunder and Lightning? Take this!"
An extremely angry voice suddenly rang out, followed by a surge of thunder. A bolt of lightning appeared almost instantaneously before Xing Chen.
"Playing with lightning against me?" A hint of disdain appeared on Xing Chen's lips as he suddenly struck out with his palm. The Ninefold Thunder Palm created five afterimages that collided with the incoming bolt of lightning.
Boom!
An even louder shockwave erupted, causing the ground beneath Xing Chen to sink and crack open. His entire body was pressed down, leaving only his upper body above ground.
The person who clashed with him was not much stronger either; he was sent flying backward, tumbling several times in the air before stabilizing himself on the ground.
"Soul Realm?"
At that moment, the person finally saw through Xing Chen's cultivation level—it was at the peak of the early stage of Soul Realm. He had just clashed head-on with this person and was actually pushed back?
"Thunder Guardian from the Four Great Protectors?" Xing Chen emerged from the sunken ground, his gaze coldly fixed on Thunder Guardian.
"Third Brother, who exactly is causing trouble?" At that moment, three figures arrived one after another from a distance; these three were the other three Guardians from Thunder and Lightning's Four Great Protectors.
"Shattering Star Finger! One finger shatters stars, two fingers break the earth, three fingers extinguish the sky, four fingers dominate the Cosmos!"
At this moment, Xing Chen used the Earth-Level Advanced Martial Technique Shattering Star Finger once again. He pointed out four fingers in succession, and four gigantic fingers appeared in mid-air, descending one after another. The expressions of Thunder and Lightning's Four Great Protectors turned grim upon witnessing this scene.
“Raging Winds!”
“Raging Storm”
“Thunder God's Fist”
“Thunderclap”
Faced with Xing Chen's powerful attack, the Four Great Protectors almost simultaneously unleashed their strongest techniques. Although Xing Chen was merely in the Soul Realm, the attacks he unleashed forced the Four Great Protectors to go all out.
“Nine Thunder Fire!”
Just after executing Shattering Star Finger, Xing Chen activated the Thunderfire Pearl, unleashing a fierce Nine Thunder Fire. The scorching and violent Nine Thunder Fire surged forth from the Thunderfire Pearl.
“Not good, retreat!”
Seeing the surging Nine Thunder Fire, the Four Great Protectors, who had just withstood Xing Chen's Shattering Star Finger, instantly changed their expressions and began to retreat simultaneously.
“All disciples, listen up! Form the Sword Formation to resist the enemy!” shouted the Wind Protector as he fell back.
“Yes!”
All the disciples responded in unison, and then countless remnants surged forward, quickly forming a massive sword that slashed toward the oncoming thunder fire, as if intending to split it in half with a single strike.
Boom!
The giant sword struck the Nine Thunder Fire, and remnants below the high human level were almost instantly incinerated. At this moment, Xing Chen's face also turned slightly pale. Although the power of the Nine Thunder Fire was immense, he still found it somewhat difficult to fully control it.
“Absorb…” With a thought, countless Negative Power surged into his body, rapidly replenishing his depleted Vital Energy.
“Sword Formation, swords can connect!”
At that moment, the power of the giant sword actually increased again, and his Nine Thunder Fire seemed to be on the verge of being unable to withstand it, causing Xing Chen's expression to change slightly.
Sensing that the Nine Thunder Fire was somewhat losing its strength, he quickly accelerated the absorption of the surrounding Negative Power to replenish the consumption needed to sustain the Nine Thunder Fire.
At that moment, Zong Hongfei and others also arrived, including Xun Yuhuan and others. Upon seeing Xing Chen, their faces all revealed excitement.
Xing Chen had obtained the Inheritance of the Thunderfire Deity; as long as they captured Xing Chen, this Inheritance would become theirs.
"Xun Yuhuan, Zhen Hanhe, Qi Gaojie?" Xing Chen also saw these individuals at this time, especially after seeing Qi Gaojie, the shock in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
It should be noted that he had once unleashed a strike from the Thunderfire Divine Ring that represented a Peak Expert of the Fate-Observing Realm. He believed that no one in the entire Eastern Region could withstand it, yet Qi Gaojie survived such an attack?
This was truly beyond Xing Chen's expectations.
"Xing Chen, this time I see where you can run!"
