Death Grip
"I have my own measures!" Xing Chen declared, as the Spear of Punishment in his hand spun upward, colliding fiercely with Luo Tong's Eclipse Sun Divine Sword.
Boom!
A violent crash echoed, as if the earth was shattering, the continent sinking, and everything in the world being annihilated. The terrifying shockwave spread out, engulfing everything within thousands of miles. If Hate Emperor and the others hadn't reacted quickly, they would have likely been caught in this disaster as well.
"What a powerful impact! Even an ordinary Monarch caught in it would probably shed a layer of skin," Hate Emperor remarked, astonished by the terrifying aftermath before him.
"Is Xing Chen going to be in danger?" Meng Xiner's delicate face was filled with worry.
"He should be fine. His Cang Biyou can summon the protection of the earth's power; he definitely won't encounter any problems," Hate Emperor pondered.
However, despite his reassurances, Meng Xiner's concern did not lessen at all. The residual waves were simply too terrifying; even an ordinary Monarch couldn't guarantee a safe escape, let alone Xing Chen.
Soon, the shockwave dissipated, but Xing Chen and Luo Tong had vanished from sight, leaving everyone puzzled.
Just as they were wondering, the space ahead suddenly cracked open, revealing the figures of Xing Chen and Luo Tong.
"Xing Chen..." Meng Xiner murmured softly as she looked at him but did not call out loudly. She knew that the current Xing Chen was no longer the same as before.
"Luo Tong, it is impossible for you to defeat me. Are you ready to die now?" Xing Chen spat out a mouthful of blood mist and then pointed at Luo Tong.
"Haha... Xing Chen, don't get too proud. Even if you really manage to kill me today, when the powers from other domains come for you later, you will still meet your death. It's just a matter of time. I'll be waiting for you down there, haha..." Luo Tong laughed maniacally.
Though he was severely injured and barely had the strength to stand, he did not regret confronting Xing Chen. This confrontation was inevitable; there was no difference between facing it sooner or later.
"It seems you came prepared for death! In that case, I'll grant your wish!" Xing Chen said as the Spear of Punishment in his hand shimmered with Electric Silver Serpent energy, a powerful aura instantly pressing down on Luo Tong.
“Xing Chen, can you not kill him?” At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, causing Xing Chen to halt his movements.
“Yuxi, why don’t you want me to kill him?” Xing Chen slightly turned his gaze towards Xu Yuxi, who had called out to him.
“No matter what, he once saved me. I want to repay this favor,” Xu Yuxi said, pursing her lips.
“What if I must kill him?” Xing Chen replied, his gaze turning cold.
“I…” Xu Yuxi was about to speak when Meng Xiner beside her pulled her back and said, “You don’t need to. He is no longer the Xing Chen he used to be; he won’t listen to us anymore.”
“Meng Xin'er, what do you mean by that?” Xing Chen asked, his eyes flickering as he looked at Meng Xiner. “I believe I have treated you the same as before during this time; nothing has changed. What do you mean by saying this now?”
“Are you really sure you haven’t changed? You’ve changed a lot; you are no longer the person you used to be. Just look at what you’ve become! You just sealed an empire! Would the old you care about these things? Would the old you ignore my words?” Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen, tears shimmering in her beautiful eyes.
“I don’t want to argue with you about useless things. In any case, I must kill Luo Tong!” Xing Chen turned his gaze back towards Luo Tong, and with the Spear of Punishment in hand, he thrust it forward.
With a ‘thud’, the Spear of Punishment pierced deeply, but it did not strike Luo Tong; instead, it struck Xu Yuxi.
“Yuxi…” The ground-bound Luo Tong was momentarily stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing. Although he liked Xu Yuxi, he knew she did not feel the same way about him. Yet this time, she had blocked Xing Chen’s lethal strike for him, causing a sharp pain in his heart.
“Why? Do you like him? If so, why did you come looking for me back then?” Xing Chen said coldly, his eyes glinting with anger. He could not tolerate being deceived, especially by a woman.
“The only person I like is you. However, I don’t want to owe anyone a favor. No matter what, he saved me, so I want to repay that favor,” Xu Yuxi said firmly, looking at Xing Chen without any blame in her eyes. Because she loved Xing Chen, she did not resent him for injuring her.
“Repaying favors? Now that you've taken a hit for him, hasn’t that favor been repaid? Then there’s no need for you to stop me from killing him!” Xing Chen pulled back the Spear of Punishment, embracing Xu Yuxi, and then thrust the bloodied spear towards Luo Tong again.
“I understand now; I truly feel sorry for you, Xing Chen. Although you are powerful, soon you'll become a mere Puppet. Haha, you'll soon be nothing more than a living nightmare as a Puppet,” Luo Tong laughed again, his gaze towards Xing Chen filled with glee. However, when he looked at Xu Yuxi in Xing Chen’s arms, a hint of inexplicable sorrow appeared in his eyes as he imagined her fate given today’s circumstances.
“Enough with the nonsense; die!” Xing Chen sneered. He paid no attention to Luo Tong’s words and regarded them as mere ramblings of someone facing death, trying to shake his resolve.
He did not know that Luo Tong not only obtained the Inheritance of the Eclipse Monarch but also his memory Inheritance, which allowed him to know many things from Ancient Times. At this moment, he had already recognized the Fate Jade Pendant on Xing Chen's forehead.
Combining this with the appearance of Ancient Times Punishment, it was not hard for him to imagine what Xing Chen would become in the future.
“Xing Chen, you pitiful person, I truly pity you! Hahaha…” The laughter abruptly stopped as he was pierced through the throat by Xing Chen's spear and could no longer laugh.
“Even in death, you wish to disturb my mind. I will make your soul scatter, leaving you unqualified even to be a ghost.” Xing Chen said, as the Spear of Punishment in his hand spun slightly, and bolts of lightning flashed by. Luo Tong's soul was instantly obliterated by countless thunderbolts.
“Xing Chen, you have really changed.” Xu Yuxi looked at Xing Chen's current appearance and couldn't help but speak.
“I haven't changed; I am still the same me as before, and I will never change.” Xing Chen replied, a black light appearing in his hand as he gently placed it on Xu Yuxi's abdomen to help her heal her injuries.
“Xing Chen, I don't want to discuss anything else with you. I just want to ask you one question: do you still love me?” Meng Xiner had also come to Xing Chen's side at this moment, raising her head and staring intently at him.
“Of course, I still love you just like before. As long as you want, I can do anything for you.” Xing Chen answered without hesitation.
“I don't want you to do anything else; just put away the Fate Jade Pendant and never use it again.” Meng Xiner said, her beautiful eyes showing a pleading expression.
“Other than that, I can do anything for you, but I absolutely cannot put away the Fate Jade Pendant—not now at least.” A look of hesitation appeared on Xing Chen's face as he gritted his teeth.
“You just promised me that you would do anything for me. Are you going back on your word now?” Meng Xiner said with tearful eyes.
“This is not going back on my word. I can do anything for you except this matter. However, this must wait until I stabilize the Central Domain.” Xing Chen said, his eyes flashing with determination.
“Then are you still refusing my request?” Meng Xiner pouted.
“Can you please stop being unreasonable? If I put away the Fate Jade Pendant now, my strength will definitely drop significantly. How will I deal with the Central Domain then?” Xing Chen said impatiently.
“Am I being unreasonable? Do you know that all of this is for your own good? If I didn't like you, I wouldn't care about these things!” Meng Xiner cried out. At that moment, she felt wronged; she was clearly doing this for Xing Chen's sake but was seen as being unreasonable. This made her feel aggrieved, and tears finally streamed down her face.
"I don't want to explain it to you!" Xing Chen said, moving away from the scene, leaving Meng Xiner feeling wronged, along with Hate Emperor and others.
"Meng Xiner, this is not his intention, please don't take it to heart!" Xueqing sighed as she watched Xing Chen leave, then approached Meng Xiner to comfort her.
"I know it's all the Fate Jade Pendant affecting his mind, but he can't hear me anymore. What should we do? He can't continue like this," Meng Xiner said, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"There’s nothing we can do; he won't listen to anyone right now. We are powerless," Xueqing shook her head. Currently, Xing Chen couldn't even hear Meng Xiner, let alone anyone else.
"This is something beyond human resistance." At that moment, a faint blue light flickered in the air, and a figure slowly appeared before everyone. This person was the most mysterious figure in the Eastern Region, the Diviner!
"Diviner..."
"It’s actually Senior Diviner! I never expected to see this elusive Divine Dragon in my lifetime."
"Senior Diviner, can’t you do anything to suppress the power of the Fate Jade Pendant?" Meng Xiner looked up, her tear-streaked face appearing so charming and pitiful.
