Death Grip
In the dense forest, Xing Chen moved forward. He did not know much about Snow Wind Island, mostly learning from Song Gaodan's memories and the words of Hate Emperor.
However, Song Gaodan himself had little understanding of Snow Wind Island, and while Hate Emperor knew quite a bit, his knowledge was primarily about Ancient Times and Snow Wind Island. Although this was somewhat helpful to the current Xing Chen, it was not significantly so.
Thus, Xing Chen wandered aimlessly ahead. Hate Emperor's Soul Power could extend about two thousand miles, and he was generally aware of everything within that range. Therefore, after a short while, Hate Emperor informed Xing Chen that there was a city named Absolute City three hundred miles ahead. Xing Chen could go there first and then make further plans.
A few hundred miles was not too far for Xing Chen. If he wished, he could use the Earth Escape Technique to reach it almost instantly. However, the Earth Escape Technique consumed a significant amount of Vital Energy, and since Xing Chen was not in a hurry, there was no need to use it. Thus, he continued to walk at a leisurely pace.
However, just as Xing Chen passed through a mountain pass, more than ten individuals from the Yang Spirit Realm suddenly emerged. This unexpected turn of events startled Xing Chen; he had been contemplating what to do upon arriving at Snow Wind Island when suddenly confronted by these people.
"Kid, don't you know that Thunder Mountain has been sealed off by my Liu Family? Hurry up! How did you get in here? What is your purpose?" shouted a stout man among them.
This person was a strong individual at the Yang Po Fourfold level. To be honest, Xing Chen did not take him seriously. However, adhering to the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble, he decided to answer his question.
"I came from another island; I just arrived at Snow Wind Island," Xing Chen replied.
"Oh? So you're an outsider. That makes things easier," said the stout man, his eyes flashing with cold light as he looked at Xing Chen. Since he was an outsider, it meant he had no background on Snow Wind Island; thus, killing him would have no consequences for them.
Xing Chen's gaze shifted slightly as he quickly understood their intentions. Given his character, how could he allow them the opportunity to act first? His principle had always been to strike first. Therefore, without hesitation, Xing Chen made his move.
"Shattering Star Finger: one finger shatters stars, two fingers break the ground, three fingers extinguish the firmament, four fingers dominate the cosmos, five fingers summon divine demons!"
As Xing Chen pointed forward with five fingers, five enormous fingers suddenly emerged from the void. In an instant, the wind surged and the ground trembled. The Snowflakes that had been gently falling around transformed into a fierce blizzard, blowing downwards.
At the same time, the five gigantic fingers descended. The previously boisterous fat man was now pale with fear, his plump body trembling uncontrollably, as if he might lose two pounds of flesh at any moment.
"Brother, please stop! It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! We mean you no harm... please stop!" the fat man waved his chubby hand.
However, since Xing Chen had already made his move, there was no way he would stop. The five fingers, carrying unparalleled power, struck down instantly. The ground cracked with a thunderous roar, and a chasm several dozen meters wide appeared in an instant. Among the more than ten strong individuals in the Yang Spirit Realm, only the fat man who had reached the Yang Po Fourfold Realm barely escaped.
Though he avoided disaster, he was still severely injured by the powerful shockwave from the shattered stars, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You... how could you have such strength? Even a Yang Po Fivefold or even Sixfold expert couldn't achieve this level with a single strike. Who exactly are you? Are you perhaps that woman's reinforcements?" After spitting blood, the fat man looked at Xing Chen in horror.
"Woman? What woman?" A hint of confusion flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as he slowly walked over to the fat man, grabbing him by the neck and ominously asking, "Quickly tell me your purpose for sealing off the mountain! Who is that woman you mentioned?"
"I won't tell you... if you have the ability, just kill me!" The fat man replied defiantly.
"Just in time; I need to understand the situation on Snow Wind Island. Since you're in this state, I won't hold back." Xing Chen said, a strange light appearing in his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes seemed to transform into black holes, emitting an exceptionally strong pulling force that began to draw out the fat man's soul.
"Ah, another reckless Rascal." Hate Emperor sighed again, secretly lamenting whether it was due to his long absence from worldly affairs that so many people suddenly appeared who liked to court death.
Facing Xing Chen, who could use the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, being stubborn was utterly useless. Moreover, he would learn even more about the situation and gain a powerful Soul Power.
As fear filled the fat man's expression, his soul was gradually pulled out by Xing Chen, who then devoured and absorbed it while naturally browsing through all of his memories.
Xing Chen was completely shocked because the Liu Family's decision to seal the mountain was entirely due to the woman mentioned by the fat man, which all started because of a disciple from the Liu Family.
This disciple, Yang Po Er Chong, encountered a very beautiful girl outside. At first sight, he was captivated and immediately began to pursue her. However, the girl had no interest in him at all, and after being annoyed by his persistence, she angrily confronted this Liu Family disciple.
Although the girl was only a Yang Po First Level cultivator, her actual combat power was exceptionally strong. The Liu Family disciple, Yang Po Er Chong, had almost no ability to fight back and was defeated by the girl. However, considering that he had pursued her without any malicious intent, she chose not to kill him and let him go.
It was precisely because of her moment of mercy that the current tragic situation arose. After returning to his family, the Liu Family disciple immediately incited the powerful members of his clan to hunt down the girl.
He told his family that the girl carried a large number of precious treasures, whether it be pills, Divine Weapons, or Cultivation Methods, all of which were top-notch. Under the temptation of such powerful material wealth, the people of the Liu Family ultimately could not resist and began their pursuit of the girl. This girl, Xing Chen, turned out to be someone he recognized and even knew well.
That person was Meng Xiner, who had once explored Thunderfire Temple with him and ultimately obtained Thunderfire Deity's Legacy.
