Death Grip
"Why are you still talking? Hurry up and catch him!" At that moment, the space fluctuated again, and the figure of Demon Dragon slowly emerged. He glanced at the people present and said calmly.
"It's Dragon Master!" Mo Qing and the others responded in unison, then began searching in various directions.
"Your junior brother is quite remarkable! Just with Gaze into the Self, he managed to kill Mo Ao. Although he used some underhanded methods, it still shows how strong he is," Demon Dragon said slowly. As his words fell, a White-Clad Girl appeared behind him.
"Demon Dragon, you will never get the Void Divine Fruit. Even if you hold onto me, it won't help!" This girl, Xueqing, did not escape but was instead captured by Demon Dragon.
"Are you saying that the Void Divine Fruit is with your junior brother? I can't believe that. The Void Divine Fruit must be with you. As for why I haven't taken it out, I believe you know better than I do," Demon Dragon said, his gaze slightly shifting towards Xueqing.
"Hmph!" Xueqing snorted and turned her head away, no longer looking at Demon Dragon. Meanwhile, she secretly worried about Xing Chen's safety. After all, Xing Chen's strength in Gaze into the Self was miraculous enough to kill Gaze into Fate, but his cultivation level was too low. So even though he killed Mo Ao, he must have been seriously injured. In this situation, escaping from the pursuit of Demon Dragon God and his disciples was nearly impossible.
"Xueqing, you should understand my feelings for you. Throughout my life, I, Demon Dragon, have never shown mercy to anyone; you are the only exception. I hope you can think about it carefully," Demon Dragon said with a frown.
"There’s nothing to consider. Demon Dragon, I will never like someone like you. Although you are somewhat upright, your Demon Dragon Lineage is in opposition to our Wind Sect. It’s impossible for us," Xueqing replied coldly after a moment of silence.
"Is it really just because of this? If that's the case, I can withdraw from the Demon Dragon Lineage for you," Demon Dragon said firmly, looking at Xueqing. It was clear that he had deep feelings for her, but Xueqing felt nothing in return.
"Demon Dragon, no matter what, we are impossible together. Even if you leave the Demon Dragon Lineage, it would still be the same," Xueqing said with a slight furrow of her brow.
"I knew you would say that. However, I will not give up. Xueqing, you will definitely become my woman in the future; that won't change," Demon Dragon declared domineeringly.
"Tsk tsk, I see now. So that's how it is..." While Demon Dragon was making grand declarations of love, he was unaware that all of this had already been overheard by the Hate Emperor.
"I didn't expect this guy called Demon Dragon to be so infatuated; it's quite interesting," Hate Emperor laughed heartlessly.
"Hate Emperor, did you hear something? Why do you look so gloating?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.
After spending so much time with the Hate Emperor, he naturally knew that whenever the Hate Emperor showed such an expression, something bad was bound to happen.
"Hehe, your Third Senior Sister has been entangled by that Demon Dragon. How interesting!" the Hate Emperor chuckled.
"Demon Dragon? Are you saying he likes Xueqing Senior Sister?" Xing Chen was slightly taken aback, then his mouth twitched.
"Yes, that Demon Dragon is currently up there confessing to your Xueqing Senior Sister!" the Hate Emperor said.
"What the hell is going on? If he likes Xueqing Senior Sister, why did he hurt her? Is he out of his mind?" Xing Chen cursed. Although his injuries had mostly healed, he had no intention of going out, after all, that Demon Dragon was a powerful figure from the Gaze of Fate; going out would be pure suicide.
As for Xueqing Senior Sister, since that Demon Dragon liked her, he shouldn't pose any threat to her—at least not kill her.
"I don't know about that, but it must be hard to defy a master's orders. It’s definitely some command from that Demon Dragon God that forced the Demon Dragon to act," the Hate Emperor said.
"That's just too ridiculous," Xing Chen shook his head. He wasn't very interested in such gossip and certainly wouldn't eavesdrop like the Hate Emperor, so he continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
Meanwhile, Mo Qing and the others searched around but found nothing, which left them feeling quite disappointed. However, upon seeing Xueqing next to the Demon Dragon, their faces lit up with joy.
"Dragon Master, so you've already captured Xueqing? That's great! We can go back and report to our master now," one of the men in black said excitedly.
"What? Didn't you find that person?" The Demon Dragon did not respond to the man's words but spoke coldly instead.
"Yes, Dragon Master. We searched within hundreds of thousands of miles but found no trace of him," Mo Qing said with a frustrated expression.
"The most dangerous place is often the safest. That guy probably never left here but is hiding somewhere nearby," the Demon Dragon pondered for a moment. What he didn't know was that he was indeed correct; Xing Chen was hiding below them, thousands of meters underground—they just couldn't detect him.
"But Dragon Master, when I first arrived here, I already searched within a thousand miles but found nothing," Mo Qing replied.
"Have you forgotten? That guy can burrow underground; did you search beneath the surface?" the Demon Dragon sneered while glancing at Xueqing beside him. He wanted to glean some clues from her expression, but to his disappointment, Xueqing's demeanor remained unchanged as always.
"Within ten thousand meters underground, I couldn't detect his presence. As for below ten thousand meters, my Soul Power can no longer penetrate," Mo Qing said.
With his Gaze into Fate ability, Soul Power could extend up to five thousand miles, but when exploring underground, due to the resistance of the earth, his Soul Power could only reach ten thousand meters deep at most; that was the limit.
"He can't possibly have gone ten thousand meters underground because the pressure there is too intense. Even I can't withstand it. He must be within several thousand meters underground. As for why Soul Power can't detect him, it's definitely because he has a treasure that conceals his aura." At this point, Demon Dragon's gaze inadvertently turned to Xueqing, and he continued, "Xueqing, you didn't give him your Biyuzhuo, did you?"
Biyuzhuo is a treasure of Xueqing's. The last time even Hate Emperor couldn't detect her presence was because of this treasure.
"You think so? Then maybe I did!" Xueqing replied nonchalantly.
"Blast it open! Just blow the ground apart for me! Even if I have to turn the entire Lianyao Tower upside down, I will find him!" Demon Dragon said with a dark expression. The more indifferent Xueqing was towards him, the angrier he became. Unable to vent his frustration on Xueqing, he could only hope to find Xing Chen and unleash his fury on him.
"Yes, Dragon Master!" Mo Qing and the others responded in unison, then simultaneously struck downward with their palms. Dark magical claws instantly emerged, carrying the pressure of The Power of the Earth, and struck down onto the ground.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed as the ground instantly cracked open into a massive chasm. This chasm stretched for hundreds of miles, nearly a thousand feet wide and close to a thousand meters deep. However, at a glance, no one could be seen.
Although their strike did not force Xing Chen out, it caused a tremendous commotion. Deep underground, several thousand meters down, Xing Chen felt an overwhelming pressure as if he could be crushed into pieces at any moment.
Buzz!
At a critical moment, a strong yellow light flashed from Xing Chen's body, allowing him to merge more thoroughly with the surrounding ground, significantly reducing the pressure.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?" Xing Chen cursed angrily.
"It's those idiots from Demon Dragon blasting the ground, trying to force you out," Hate Emperor shouted.
"Don't they realize they would be discovered? Why am I being found?" Xing Chen said with an angry twitch of his mouth.
"Discovering something is nonsense; they guessed it. That Demon Dragon is quick-witted and almost instantly thought of where you were hiding." Hate Emperor cursed repeatedly.
"Damn it!" Xing Chen shouted angrily again, then fully activated the Earth Escape Technique, making it even more tightly integrated with the surrounding ground.
"Continue! He must be right here; keep blasting until he comes out!" Demon Dragon shouted loudly.
"Demon Dragon Fist!" Mo Qing and the others shouted in unison, striking out with a powerful punch. Countless black Demon Dragons shot down into the abyss below, causing vibrations several times larger than before. At the same time, the ground fissures expanded again, reaching a depth of nearly two thousand meters, yet there was still no sign of Xing Chen.
At this moment, they couldn't help but doubt: was Xing Chen really inside? Such a powerful attack would likely have crushed him to dust under the immense pressure of the underground!
"Keep going, don't stop! Keep it up!" Demon Dragon shouted repeatedly.
Meanwhile, below, Xing Chen was nearly killed by the earlier shockwaves. He felt that last round of attacks almost crushed him to powder. If it weren't for Hate Emperor's powerful Soul Power protection, he would have been dead long ago.
"Damn it, I can't just sit here and wait to die. If they keep this up, I'm definitely finished. I’ll use the fragments of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon and fight back." Xing Chen said as yellow light flickered around him, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
"Calm down! Stay calm! This is not the time to fight. Once you use the fragments of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon, your energy will be drained instantly. Even if you manage to kill these people, you'll need a long time to recover, and you don't have that much time to waste." Hate Emperor shouted.
