Death Grip
“Dragon Blood Sovereign……” Xing Chen’s eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent as he moved swiftly to the front of Lianyao Tower.
“Hate Demon Sword!” A flash of Black Light in Xing Chen’s hand, and the Hate Demon Sword appeared in his grasp. This time it was the true Hate Demon Sword, not one condensed from Vital Energy. With the supreme power of the Hate Demon Sword, it could definitely break through the Lianyao Tower.
“Reverse Nine Swords!”
However, just as Xing Chen was about to strike, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
“Meng Xin'er……” Seeing this sudden appearance, a glimmer of joy flashed in Xing Chen’s cold eyes, for this person was none other than Meng Xiner, whom he had long wanted to save.
“Xing Chen, you cannot destroy Lianyao Tower,” Meng Xiner said, looking up with a hint of pleading in her expression.
“Meng Xin'er, are you alright? Did that Rascal Dragon Blood Sovereign give you any trouble?” Xing Chen sheathed the Hate Demon Sword and looked at Meng Xiner.
“I’m fine now. When the Underworld God occupied my body, he swallowed the Hundred-Day Blood Curse. Then, Dragon Blood Sovereign awakened me,” Meng Xiner shook her head and replied.
“Dragon Blood Sovereign? That cunning Rascal would actually help you?” Xing Chen’s gaze shifted slightly. Just now, he was too overjoyed by Meng Xiner’s sudden appearance to notice anything amiss, but now he realized something was off—how exactly did Meng Xiner wake up?
“Xing Chen, actually, Dragon Blood Sovereign isn’t particularly bad. Not only did he awaken me, but he also drove the fragment of the Underworld God out of the Nine Nether Sea Region,” Meng Xiner said softly.
“Do you know that I almost got killed by one punch from him?” Xing Chen narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
“What? You almost got killed by a punch from Dragon Blood Sovereign?” A hint of anger appeared on Meng Xiner’s delicate face as she looked at Xing Chen, clearly anxious. “How are you now? Are you alright?”
“It’s nothing serious, but I don’t understand why you don’t want me to destroy this Lianyao Tower,” Xing Chen shook his head and then looked at Meng Xiner.
“There are Demon Emperor level beasts inside this Lianyao Tower. If you really destroy it, those beasts will definitely come out. At that time, we won’t be able to escape their pursuit,” Meng Xiner explained.
“I see. Thank you, Meng Xin'er. My strength has greatly increased now; I have the ability to kill those in the Dragon Blood Palace. How about I go kill them right now?” Xing Chen looked at Meng Xiner.
"Alright, I'll go with you. These people are too despicable. They previously tricked me into believing that you were captured by the Soul of the Underworld God. I never expected it was that vile Dragon Blood Sovereign who was behind this. Let's go kill them." Meng Xiner nodded without hesitation, her pretty face showing a look of indignation.
"Okay, I'll take action and kill them right now!" Xing Chen had already summoned the Hate Demon Sword back into his hand.
Reverse Nine Swords!
Xing Chen slashed forward with nine consecutive strikes. Instantly, a powerful aura erupted from the direction of the Nine Nether Imperial Palace. At the same time, a loud voice shouted, "Meng Xiner, you dare to betray the Emperor of Thunder Punishment! The Emperor of Thunder Punishment will not let you go."
The speaker was a powerful figure at the peak of the Merging Void Realm, specifically the Demon Dragon God from the Dragon Blood Palace.
In the past, Xing Chen would have felt some trepidation facing the Demon Dragon God, but now his strength had also risen to the peak of the Merging Void Realm. With the Hate Demon Armor and Hate Demon Sword, his power was so formidable that even killing an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign of the Void Realm would not be a problem.
As for wanting to kill him, it was impossible under the Emperor of Thunder Punishment. Even a Half-Step Emperor would not be able to do so.
"Wow, that's amazing! Xing Chen, you're getting stronger and stronger!" Meng Xiner exclaimed joyfully upon seeing that Xing Chen had directly killed several Divine Lords with one strike.
"Meng Xin'er, your strength has also improved significantly!" Xing Chen smiled and looked at Meng Xiner. The doubt that had just arisen in his heart slowly dissipated; there was no doubt that this person was indeed Meng Xiner, as her personality and unique aura were unmistakably hers.
"Hehe, of course! Although I was deceived by the Dragon Blood Sovereign, I obtained many precious pills from him during this time. My strength has made great strides; look, I'm already at the early stage of Glimpse of Objects." Meng Xiner said proudly.
"Indeed, you are at the early stage of Glimpse of Objects, but the Inheritance you received is not suitable for you. It's a pity that the Hate Emperor is in seclusion; otherwise, I would have him take you to find the Inheritance of the Ice Snow Sovereign." Xing Chen nodded and then said.
"It's okay; I don't care about that. As long as you protect me, nothing will go wrong, right?" Meng Xiner said with a cheerful smile.
"Yes, I will protect you. What happened last time will never happen again." Xing Chen said as he held Meng Xiner in his arms.
"Mm-hmm, I believe you will definitely protect me well." Meng Xiner buried her head deeply in Xing Chen's embrace.
"By the way, Meng Xin'er, who is that Emperor of Thunder Punishment they mentioned? Has the Dragon Blood Sovereign completely reached the level of an Imperial Lord's Realm?" Xing Chen asked with slight confusion.
"No, that Dragon Blood Sovereign is still a Half-Step Emperor. However, since he has already stepped half into the Emperor Realm, the people of Dragon Blood Palace have started calling him the Dragon Blood Emperor," Meng Xiner shook her head and said.
"Meng Xin'er, let's go back to the Eastern Region! It's been almost a year since we came to the sea area, and it's time to return to the Eastern Region," Xing Chen said, looking at Meng Xiner in his arms.
"Sure, I've been wanting to go back to the Eastern Region for a long time, but..." A sly look flashed in Meng Xiner's beautiful eyes. "But what about your Xueqing Senior Sister? Are you really going to leave her here?"
"You know?" A hint of embarrassment appeared on Xing Chen's face. He had been thinking about how to explain this to Meng Xiner, but he didn't expect her to already know.
"Of course I know; I'm not an idiot," Meng Xiner rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry..." Xing Chen fell silent for a moment, wanting to explain, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Meng Xiner.
"Don't say sorry to me. Xueqing Senior Sister told me everything. I know you had no choice back then, so I won't blame you," Meng Xiner said with a charming smile on her delicate face.
"Meng Xin'er, has the Dragon Blood Sovereign done anything to you during your time in Dragon Blood Palace? Or made you do anything?" Xing Chen suddenly asked.
"Yes, the Dragon Blood Sovereign asked me to guard Lianyao Tower. Originally, I planned to help him guard it as a way to repay his life-saving grace. But now that he's so bad and wants to kill you, I definitely won't help him anymore," Meng Xiner pouted, her pretty face showing a hint of anger, clearly displeased with the Dragon Blood Sovereign for deceiving her.
"I'll go take revenge for you!" A cold light flickered in Xing Chen's eyes. Although Meng Xiner hadn't suffered any substantial harm, he still felt that she had been wronged and absolutely could not let the Dragon Blood Sovereign off easily.
"No need, no need. The Dragon Blood Sovereign is very powerful; you're not his match. Besides, he hasn't done anything to me, so there's no need to confront him directly. Weren't you just saying you wanted to return to the Eastern Region? Let's just go back," Meng Xiner quickly waved her hand.
"But..." A hint of hesitation appeared on Xing Chen's face. He did want to go back, but Xueqing was still in Dragon Blood Palace. If he really left, the Dragon Blood Sovereign would eventually find out about his relationship with Xueqing. By then, Xueqing might be killed by the Hate Emperor.
"Are you worried about Xueqing Senior Sister? We can secretly rescue her and then leave here," Meng Xiner suggested.
"Okay, let's do it your way. It's indeed not suitable to confront the Dragon Blood Sovereign right now. We can settle accounts with him when we return to the sea area later," Xing Chen nodded.
"Yes, we must settle accounts with him," Meng Xiner agreed with a nod.
"Let's go, we are heading to Dragon Blood Palace." Xing Chen said as he took Meng Xiner and left the place directly.
After Xing Chen left with Meng Xiner, one of the people who had been killed by Xing Chen's sword slowly stood up. This person was Blood Cloud Deity, one of Dragon Blood Sovereign's trusted subordinates.
"I must inform the Emperor about what happened here..." Blood Cloud Deity said, using the last bit of strength he had to condense a beam of blood light. Then he completely died, and this beam of blood light vanished into thin air.
This blood light was a Soul Note that Blood Cloud Deity had created with all his power, containing everything he wanted to convey to Dragon Blood Sovereign. As long as Dragon Blood Sovereign could receive this note, things would become much simpler.
Meanwhile, Xing Chen and Meng Xiner finally arrived above Dragon Blood Palace after an hour. At this moment, Dragon Blood Palace had returned to its previous appearance; all the collapsed areas had been repaired. The only difference was that Lianyao Tower within Dragon Blood Palace was missing.
"Dragon Blood Sovereign is not here?" Xing Chen's expression changed slightly as his Soul Power scanned the area but found no trace of Dragon Blood Sovereign.
"What’s wrong?" Meng Xiner asked curiously as she looked at Xing Chen.
"Dragon Blood Sovereign is absent; I find this situation a bit suspicious," Xing Chen shook his head.
"It can't be! Just a while ago, Dragon Blood Sovereign was here. How could he suddenly disappear?" Meng Xiner's face showed more confusion. Logically, Dragon Blood Sovereign should not leave Dragon Blood Palace at this moment, especially since it was a critical time for Dragon Blood Palace in the battle for Nine Nether Sea Region; he should be stationed here.
"Neither are my senior brothers and sisters; almost everyone above Gaze into Fate in Dragon Blood Palace is absent," Xing Chen said as his Soul Power covered the entire Dragon Blood Palace.
