Death Grip
In the luxurious palace of the Sword Kingdom Royal Family.
"Xing Chen, if you wake up, you can surely resolve the current crisis in the Eastern Region, right?" Meng Xiner murmured softly while sitting beside Xing Chen.
"If you hadn't fallen into a coma, the Demon Sect might have already been eradicated by you. They wouldn't have had a chance to make a comeback..."
"Xing Chen, when will you wake up? When will it be..."
Meng Xiner kept murmuring repeatedly, but Xing Chen remained lying on the bed, showing no signs of waking up.
"Sister Meng Xin'er, how is Young Master Chen?" At that moment, the door to the room slowly opened, and a girl clad in pink walked in. This girl was none other than Yuer.
"Still the same, no signs of waking up at all," Meng Xiner shook her head, a hint of sadness on her delicate face.
"Sister Meng Xin'er, you need to take care of yourself too. If this continues, your own health won't hold up," Yuer gently advised. Meng Xiner had been by Xing Chen's side for the past six months, and with Xing Chen still unconscious, Meng Xiner's health was starting to deteriorate.
"I'm fine, Yuer. Please keep an eye on Xing Chen for me. I want to go help Xueqing Senior Sister. After all, I can't let her fight alone. In the Eastern Region, I might be her only friend, and Xing Chen is her only support. Now that Xing Chen is down, I can't just ignore her," Meng Xiner spoke slowly. Over the past six months, Xueqing had borne almost everything alone. For the sake of the Eastern Region, Xueqing had done her utmost to protect it. Without Xueqing's efforts, the Eastern Region would have surely fallen long ago.
At such a critical moment, Meng Xiner could no longer stay here with Xing Chen; she had to join Xueqing in battle. Xueqing had sacrificed too much over these past months; Meng Xiner needed to help share some of that burden.
"Sister Meng Xin'er, but your health right now..." Yuer looked at Meng Xiner with concern and spoke slowly.
"My health is fine. I can't let Xueqing Senior Sister bear so much alone anymore. I must go help her and share some of her burden; otherwise, even if Xing Chen wakes up later, he definitely won't forgive me," Meng Xiner said without hesitation as she stood up and walked toward the door. Just before exiting the room, she added once more: "Please take good care of Xing Chen!"
"Sister Meng Xin'er, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Young Master Chen," Yuer nodded repeatedly.
"Okay." Meng Xiner responded and then moved slightly before disappearing from sight. Yuer also walked toward Xing Chen in the room.
"Young Master Chen, Yuer hopes you can wake up soon. That way, we won't have to be so worried every day, and Sister Meng Xin'er and the others are really pitiful. If you don't wake up, they probably won't be able to hold on much longer." Yuer whispered gently, a faint smile appearing on her lips as she looked at Xing Chen and continued, "Actually, if we set all that aside, Yuer still hopes that Young Master Chen won't wake up because then Yuer can talk to you every day, and you won't find me annoying. Hehe... Is Yuer being a bit selfish?"
Yuer stayed by Xing Chen's side, talking non-stop. Before she knew it, half an hour had passed when someone else walked in from outside—the person was Xu Yuxi.
"Yuer, is Xing Chen still the same?" Xu Yuxi asked softly as she looked at Yuer.
"Yes, Young Master Chen is still the same. I've talked to him a lot, but he shows no sign of waking up," Yuer replied, turning to Xu Yuxi with a slight smile.
"Yuer, do you think Xing Chen will never wake up again?" Xu Yuxi asked after a moment of silence.
"No way! Yuer believes Young Master Chen will definitely wake up. You have to believe in him too, Yu Xi!" Yuer quickly responded.
"Of course I believe in him," Xu Yuxi murmured as she gazed at Xing Chen.
Just as Xu Yuxi was about to step forward, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from outside. This aura was definitely at the Peak of Fate Observation Realm or even Half-Step Spirit Void Realm level.
Such a strong presence could not be resisted by anyone in the Eastern Region except for Xueqing and Meng Xin'er.
"What’s going on? How could such a powerful being suddenly appear here? Could it be that Sister Xueqing and Sister Meng Xin'er have already been defeated by the Demon Sect?" Yuer said with a slight change in her expression.
"It seems this time it's really over..." Xu Yuxi said, biting her lip as she looked outside.
However, at that moment, Xing Chen, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, and an immense aura surged forth instantly.
"Young Master Chen..." The room echoed with Yuer's surprised voice. Xing Chen woke up just in time; now they wouldn't have to fear the strong presence outside.
"Soul Annihilation!" Without saying a word, Xing Chen unleashed his powerful Soul Power, striking towards the source of the Gaze of Fate emanating from outside.
“Demon Cloud, how dare you break the rules and sneak into our Sword Kingdom!” Outside, Yun Qing shouted at the powerful presence before him.
Demon Cloud is the leader of the Demon Sect and the second strongest in the sect. Today was supposed to be a day for the former leader of the Demon Sect, Demon Star, to celebrate with Xueqing. On such occasions, strong figures from both sides would come to watch and cheer. However, Demon Cloud had chosen to infiltrate their Sword Kingdom, clearly a scheme by Demon Star to lure away strong figures like Xueqing and then let Demon Cloud take down Yun Qing and others.
“Haha, rules? What are rules? Rules are meant to bind you weaklings, while for the strong, these rules are meant to be trampled upon,” Demon Cloud laughed heartily.
“You…” Yun Qing pointed at Demon Cloud, about to say something when suddenly a powerful aura erupted from a nearby palace, belonging to Xing Chen.
“Haha, good, good! However, your time of death is approaching,” Yun Qing laughed upon sensing this aura. Since Xing Chen had awakened, there was no way that Demon Cloud could leave alive.
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Qing finished speaking, an exceptionally powerful Soul Power surged towards Demon Cloud.
Feeling this immense Soul Power, Demon Cloud's heart sank. He clearly sensed that this power was on par with that of a strong figure from the Heavenly Void Realm.
“A strong figure from the Heavenly Void Realm?” As Demon Cloud's expression changed drastically, a thick black light erupted from his body. He poured all his strength into defending against Xing Chen's soul attack.
Boom!
As the soul impact entered his body, Demon Cloud felt a buzzing in his mind. In that moment, he experienced a brief lapse in consciousness. However, being the leader of the Demon Sect, he quickly regained his senses within a breath's time and tore forward in an attempt to escape.
But how could Xing Chen, now awakened, allow him to flee? Just as he tore through the void, a massive purple-gold tiger burst forth from it—this tiger was none other than the Purple Gold Tiger.
“Roar…” Upon its appearance, the Purple Gold Tiger let out an enraged roar, its aura as the king of beasts instantly spreading outwards. This pressure forced Yun Qing and others to retreat repeatedly. Even Demon Cloud, taken aback, stared at the Purple Gold Tiger. With years of instinct guiding him, he could clearly feel its strength; this beast before him was certainly not weaker than himself.
“Beast, get out of my way!” Demon Cloud bellowed as he thrust his palm forward, trying to swat away the Purple Gold Tiger. However, how could the tiger be hit so easily?
In these past six months, the strength of the Purple Gold Tiger had significantly increased, reaching the level of the Peak of Fate Observation Realm. Although it still could not transform into human form or speak after transformation, its power was undeniable.
The Purple Gold Tiger dodged a strike from Demon Cloud, and its massive jaws opened wide before it bit down fiercely.
"Ah--" Accompanied by a piercing scream, Demon Cloud's arm was instantly bitten off by the Purple Gold Tiger, causing Demon Cloud to scream in agony.
"Well done!" The others, including Yun Qing, cheered at the sight. Just moments ago, Demon Cloud had been so arrogant in front of them, and now it finally faced retribution.
"Ah! I will kill you... Demon God's Finger!" Demon Cloud roared, pointing a finger forward. A gigantic finger slowly materialized from the air and came crashing down towards the Purple Gold Tiger.
"Roar... Human, you are seeking death!" Purple Gold Tiger bellowed, its voice rumbling like distant thunder.
"Beast, die!" Demon Cloud screamed madly as the giant finger descended, shaking the ground with its immense power.
"Boom..." With its mouth wide open, Purple Gold Tiger unleashed a torrent of purple-gold flames, known as the Purple Gold Flame, which ranked among the top ten in the divine flame rankings.
As soon as the Purple Gold Flame appeared, the entire void began to distort. A terrifying heatwave swept through the surroundings, and the flames burned fiercely in the air, colliding violently with Demon God's Finger.
Under the terrifying high temperature of the Purple Gold Flame, Demon God's Finger began to melt away slowly. At the same time, the Purple Gold Flame engulfed Demon Cloud, wrapping him completely within its fiery embrace.
