Death Grip
The result left the watching Six Elders and some family disciples astonished, their mouths agape. None of them had expected that Zhao Yuanlong would be struck down to the ground by Xing Chen in a single move.
This scene not only shocked them but also made them pay more attention to Xing Chen. Especially Zhao Yuanlong, who was acutely aware of the immense power behind Xing Chen's strike.
He could even make a judgment without hesitation: that move could definitely kill a strong practitioner of Yang Po San Chong in an instant and severely injure a strong practitioner of Yang Po Fourfold.
Moreover, this was the result of them being well-prepared to take the blow. If Xing Chen had launched a sneak attack, even a strong practitioner of Yang Po Fourfold would have been killed in one hit.
"Xing Chen, your strength is indeed formidable; even I was injured by that strike," Zhao Yuanlong said as he stepped out from the pit he had fallen into.
His words were not exaggerated at all. Xing Chen's Reprint had indeed caused significant internal damage to him. If it weren't for his cultivation level, he might have even coughed up blood.
"Zhao Family Head, you flatter me. Your strength is truly impressive; as expected of a strong practitioner of Yang Po Fivefold, you are indeed beyond my reach," Xing Chen replied after taking a moment to recover.
Although he knew it was nearly impossible for him to compare himself with a strong practitioner of Yang Po Fivefold given his current strength, he still felt slightly disappointed after their encounter.
In a real life-and-death battle, after delivering that strike, Zhao Yuanlong could have easily killed him hundreds of times afterward, and he wouldn't have had any hope of escaping.
"Hehe, Xing Chen, being able to contend with a strong practitioner of Yang Po Fivefold at the level of Yang Po First Level is beyond mere talent," Zhao Yuanlong chuckled.
"Zhao Family Head, let's skip the pleasantries. Let's talk about the situation at Yin Wind Mountain Range. Although I know it's dangerous there, I don't know much about the specifics. Your Zhao Family is so close to it; you should know more," Xing Chen said calmly.
"To be honest, we Zhao Family may be close to the Yin Wind Mountain Range, but before this, it has always belonged to the Nebula Gate. Therefore, we don't know much about what goes on inside," Zhao Yuanlong replied with a wry smile.
Previously, the top four forces had always been led by the Nebula Gate, along with the Yin Wind Mountain Range, Azure Water Forest, and Volcanic Range. These were all under the influence of the Nebula Gate, and they couldn't interfere at all.
Moreover, the dangers within the Yin Wind Mountain Range were not comparable to those in other areas; it ranked among the most perilous places on Nebula Island. Because of this, the Zhao Family had hardly sent anyone to investigate inside.
"Are you saying that my main purpose for going in this time is to investigate the situation of the Yin Wind Mountain Range and then come out to tell you?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Yes, that's exactly it. Additionally, you can choose some disciples from our Zhao Family who are in the Soul Realm or Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm to accompany you," Zhao Yuanlong nodded with a smile.
"If it's just to investigate, then I will go alone. It's more convenient for me to act alone, and there won't be any unexpected casualties," Xing Chen said after pondering for a moment.
Although he didn't know the specific situation of the Yin Wind Mountain Range, the dangers inside were definitely not trivial. If he went alone, at worst he could escape, but if he brought Zhao Family members along, it wouldn't be guaranteed; at least he couldn't ensure the safety of the Zhao Family disciples.
"Alright, you can go alone. As long as you investigate the surroundings of the Elemental Stone Vein clearly, that's all that matters. You don't need to worry about anything else," Zhao Yuanlong slightly nodded.
"Okay, I will head to the Yin Wind Mountain Range now!" Xing Chen agreed with a nod.
...
"Wow—so this is the Yin Wind Mountain Range?"
At noon on the second day, under the blazing sun, various bird calls echoed through the forest.
Ahead, a roaring river flowed out from a massive mountain range. This mountain range was dark and deep, filled with treacherous peaks. The towering trees formed a dense canopy, and from deep within the forest came continuous roars of demonic beasts, making one involuntarily feel a sense of fear.
Xing Chen stood at the entrance of the Yin Wind Mountain Range, gazing at the perilous and endless mountains. His eyes flickered slightly; no wonder this Yin Wind Mountain Range was said to be so dangerous. Just looking at it from the outside was already like this; one could hardly imagine what it would be like inside the mountains.
The Yin Wind Mountain Range was over a hundred miles away from where the Zhao Family was located. For an ordinary person, it would take at least a day or two to walk there. However, as a powerful Yang Spirit Realm expert, Xing Chen was certainly not comparable to an ordinary person; he only took a mere quarter of an hour to arrive from the Zhao Family.
Outside the Yin Wind Mountain Range, Xing Chen sat cross-legged on the ground and consumed a Vital Energy recovery pill to replenish his Vital Energy consumed during the journey.
Next, he would have to enter the extremely dangerous Yin Wind Mountain Range. Naturally, Xing Chen needed to adjust his condition to its peak; otherwise, he might end up with no return.
After a while, Xing Chen's Vital Energy had mostly recovered. He then opened his eyes, and two beams of energy surged out instantly. With a 'whoosh,' he shot directly into the Yin Wind Mountain Range.
Xing Chen leaped between the Ancient Trees, quickly heading towards the locations of the Elemental Stone Veins that Zhao Yuanlong had told him about.
In the Yin Wind Mountain Range, there were nearly thirty Elemental Stone Veins. To find each one and determine whether they posed any danger would take at least a day. Additionally, powerful beasts could attack at any moment, so Xing Chen needed to investigate the situation here as quickly as possible and then leave.
Xing Chen kept jumping, weaving through the Ancient Trees, and in a short while, he had already entered the depths of the Yin Wind Mountain Range.
In the depths of the Yin Wind Mountain Range, the Ancient Trees were incredibly lush. Some towering trees reached dozens or even hundreds of meters high, and the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.
Faintly, Xing Chen could see some wild beasts passing beneath the trees; however, these were just ordinary animals and not demon beasts, lacking any significant strength. Therefore, they did not pose any threat to Xing Chen.
Just as Xing Chen stopped on a large tree to catch his breath, a foul wind suddenly rushed towards him from behind.
Xing Chen quickly turned around and discovered that it was a giant python whose body was thicker than a water barrel. The python glared fiercely at Xing Chen and then suddenly opened its massive mouth wide to bite him.
"Damn it!" Xing Chen cursed under his breath and instantly vanished from sight. The giant python lunged forward but missed entirely, crashing down from the tree instead. Its massive body hit the ground with a thunderous sound, as if an earthquake had occurred.
"Could I be this unlucky? I just entered and already encountered a python comparable to Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm?" After the giant python fell, Xing Chen reappeared on the tree and couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief.
The reason he was able to vanish from the tree so quickly and avoid the giant python was due to the Wood Escape Technique from his Five Elements Escape Technique.
After arriving in the ocean region, Xing Chen increasingly felt the importance of the Five Elements Escape Technique. Therefore, he took time to successfully cultivate all five escape techniques within it.
It was precisely because of this that he had just escaped a disaster; otherwise, he would have likely become food for this giant python by now.
At this moment, Xing Chen looked down at the giant python with a hint of helplessness on his face. His luck really seemed to be this bad. The giant python clearly appeared to have gained some intelligence; its triangular eyes were filled with anger as they stared at him.
At the same time, its massive mouth slightly opened, and a surge of Vital Energy began to gather within it, condensing into a green poison ball.
Whoosh!
As the giant python exhaled, the green poison gas bomb shot toward Xing Chen like an arrow released from a bow, its speed causing the surrounding space to hum.
Xing Chen's pupils slightly constricted upon seeing the python's toxic air, but he showed no signs of panic. If an ordinary Yang Spirit Realm expert faced such an attack, they might have been flustered.
After all, it contained deadly poison. However, this was of little concern to Xing Chen, as he possessed a Venomous Pearl from a Venomous Giant Scorpion that rendered him immune to all poisons.
Xing Chen brushed his fingers over the Thunderfire Divine Ring, and the Venomous Pearl appeared in his hand. He then struck forward with a powerful palm, accompanied by a thunderous sound as Purple Lightning surged and gathered in his palm.
With one strike, seven afterimages followed in succession, colliding fiercely with the green poison gas bomb. The bomb had almost no offensive power; as soon as it made contact with Xing Chen's palm, it exploded instantly, enveloping him in a thick green mist.
However, the massive shadow of his palm pierced through the dense green fog and struck the giant python below. Countless bolts of Purple Lightning spread across the python's body, and the tremendous force of his palm shattered its triangular head.
After killing the giant python, Xing Chen waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept through, dispersing the surrounding green poison mist. He then leaped down to examine the python's body and took out the Thunder God Sword to begin his "dissection."
In no time, he had skinned the giant python and stored the hide in the Thunderfire Divine Ring. Following that, he extracted the Demon Core from within the python's body with a single stroke of his sword. A smile appeared on Xing Chen's face.
However, this smile had a cunning quality to it that made others want to punch him. Nevertheless, this Demon Core was indeed a valuable item; even compared to Xing Chen's Venomous Pearl, it was not far behind.
