Death Grip
Upon hearing Meng Xiner's words, Elder Lei's gaze instantly swept over the surrounding onlookers.
Those onlookers, upon meeting Elder Lei's gaze, instinctively averted their eyes.
Xing Chen stood nearby, his eyes flickering slightly. If he were not injured, he would have already engaged in a fierce battle with the opponent; there was no way he would endure this humiliation. However, his injuries had only healed halfway, and at most he could exert the power of Yang Po Sevenfold. Engaging with a Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert would essentially be a suicidal act.
Thus, he could only endure for now. However, if he were truly pushed to his limits, the Lei Family would not fare well. Once he activated the Seven Killing Blood Seal's Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation!, his strength would instantly reach the level of Gaze of Fate.
In the entire Snow Wind Island, there might not be anyone capable of stopping him. However, the Seven Killing Blood Seal was not something to be used lightly; unless absolutely necessary, he would never activate it easily.
"Even if this matter is indeed our people's fault, you don't need to slaughter them all, do you?" Looking at the expressions of those around him and seeing the soldiers' evasive glances, Elder Lei quickly deduced that this incident was likely indeed caused by his side.
"They struck first; we naturally cannot sit idly by. This is all self-inflicted by these people," Meng Xiner replied.
"Although this incident is a mistake on our Lei Family's part, you have killed my Lei Family members. If I simply let you go, it wouldn't be just or reasonable," Elder Lei pondered for a moment before turning his gaze to Xing Chen beside Meng Xiner.
"How about this: let him take one of my attacks. As long as he can withstand my strike without dying, then this matter will be settled. My Lei Family will not pursue it further. If he cannot withstand my attack and is killed, then it can only be considered his misfortune. Does that sound fair?"
This method was something Elder Lei had contemplated for a long time. After all, since the fault lay with his side, if they were to strike first due to this incident, their Lei Family would truly lose face.
However, if they did not strike and simply let the other side go, the Lei Family would also lose face and credibility. In such a dilemma, Elder Lei devised this compromise.
Since you have killed so many of my people, I will kill one of your subordinates in return. This way, he could save face and avoid being talked about behind his back.
Originally, this seemed like a win-win solution; however, what Elder Lei did not know was that Xing Chen was not just any subordinate.
"Looks like you've been underestimated!" Hate Emperor said gleefully.
"If I weren't injured right now, I would have beaten him senseless," Xing Chen said with cold light flashing in his eyes. At that moment, he truly wanted to engage directly with the opponent. However, considering the consequences of such an action, Xing Chen shook his head vigorously.
"I originally thought the Lei Family would be a reasonable family, but I didn't expect them to be so unreasonable." Meng Xiner's pretty face was icy as she looked at Elder Lei, her Vital Energy gathering, already prepared for a fight.
If Xing Chen had not been injured, she might have agreed with Elder Lei's approach. However, Xing Chen's injuries had not yet healed, and if she were to clash head-on with a Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert, it would definitely worsen his condition. This was precisely why Meng Xiner was so furious.
"So you intend to fight me?" Elder Lei's expression hardened. He initially wanted to downplay the situation, but since the other party was being so unyielding, he naturally would not hold back any longer.
"What if I do? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Meng Xiner's face grew even colder; she absolutely would not allow anyone to harm Xing Chen at this moment.
"Wait a moment, although I'm currently injured, I won't die from a single blow. Taking one hit is fine." Just as Meng Xiner was about to strike, Xing Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
"Your injuries haven't healed yet; you can't fight anymore," Meng Xiner said. "Besides, you protected me so fiercely before; now it's my turn to protect you." Meng Xiner smiled at Xing Chen.
"I'm not used to being protected by you, and I still have the ability to fight. Since someone has challenged me, I won't back down." A faint smile appeared on Xing Chen's lips, and two flames of Demonic Flame flickered in his eyes as the Demonic Aura surged from within him.
"A Demon Gate expert? It seems you really are from Evil Wind Island? So our people weren't wrong about you?" Elder Lei said, his pupils narrowing slightly as he looked at the Demonic Aura emanating from Xing Chen.
"Who told you that a Demon Gate expert must be from Evil Wind Island? Everyone from Hate Sea Region practices demonic arts; what is a mere Evil Wind Island compared to that?" Xing Chen shot a cold glance at Elder Lei. As he stepped forward, his Demonic Aura surged again, shooting up toward the sky.
"Hate Sea Region? You are actually from Hate Sea Region? No, you're lying. Hate Sea Region is far from Nine Heavens Sea, and there's still the Nine Nether Sea Region in between. How could a mere Yang Po Fourfold expert like you cross the Nine Nether Sea Region to reach our Nine Heavens Sea?"
Elder Lei was initially shocked but then looked at Xing Chen with disbelief.
"You ignorant rascal, don't you know there is something called a Teleportation Array in this world? I represent Hate Emperor Palace; I came to your Nine Heavens Sea for an important matter." Xing Chen raised the banner of authority again. However, his words had some basis; although he did not represent Hate Emperor Palace directly, he could represent the Hate Emperor since the Hate Emperor's soul was currently within him.
"You little brat dare to use my Hate Emperor Palace as your banner! However, considering that you just helped me devour many souls, I won't hold it against you," the Hate Emperor muttered.
"What evidence do you have to prove that you are from Hate Emperor Palace? As far as I know, Hate Emperor Palace hasn't accepted any new disciples aside from some old fossils. It's impossible for them to accept someone like you who has just reached Yang Spirit Realm." Although Elder Lei did not believe Xing Chen's words, he also did not dare to act rashly. After all, if the other party truly was from Hate Emperor Palace and he attacked first, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
It should be noted that Hate Emperor Palace was not like Nine Heavens Imperial Palace. The Nine Heavens Imperial Palace had already declined and held little influence in Nine Heavens Sea. However, Hate Emperor Palace was different; its power could definitely influence the entire situation in the sea region.
"Hmph, just go ahead and make your move. I'll let you know the power of the Hate Emperor's Art." Xing Chen snorted coldly, and immediately, a Demonic Aura surged around him. A pitch-black suit of armor appeared on his body, which was the Hate Demon Armor. Countless demons roared above the Hate Demon Armor, exuding waves of terrifying malice.
"Is that the Hate Demon Armor? You actually managed to condense the Hate Demon Armor? And it's a genuine Hate Demon Armor at that. Could it be that you are truly from the Hate Emperor Palace?" Elder Lei looked at Xing Chen's Hate Demon Armor in shock.
It is known that even some core members of the Hate Emperor Palace might not be able to compare to the authenticity of Xing Chen's Hate Demon Armor.
"I didn't expect you to recognize the Hate Demon Armor," Xing Chen said, his gaze shifting slightly. He genuinely did not expect Elder Lei to know about the Hate Demon Armor, especially since that Elder of Demon Suppression from the Liu Family couldn't even recognize his Hate Demon Armor.
"There's nothing strange about it. The Lei Family has existed since ancient times and has produced powerful beings from the Spirit Void Realm. They have just fallen into decline later on. It's normal for him to recognize the Hate Demon Armor; his ancestor who reached the Spirit Void Realm must have left them some information about various major forces and seas."
"As for the Liu Family, they should be a rising force that has never ventured out of the Nine Heavens Sea, so it's natural they wouldn't recognize the Hate Demon Armor," said the Hate Emperor.
"I see. However, you are quite generous, Rascal. You are willing to share your unique secret technique," Xing Chen remarked.
"What I passed on to them is just a simplified version. Compared to the real Hate Demon Armor and Hate Demon Sword, it's worlds apart," replied the Hate Emperor.
At this moment, Elder Lei also spoke up, a look of reminiscence on his face as he said, "Our Lei Family once had a powerful existence known as a Divine Lord, so we naturally have more understanding of various major forces. However, even though you are from the Hate Emperor Palace, this matter cannot just end here. As I said before, if you borrow one move from me and survive, then this matter will be settled. If you die, it will also be settled, and our Lei Family will not make things difficult for this young lady."
"Go ahead!" Xing Chen said without any hesitation.
"Take this!" Elder Lei shouted as he thrust his hand forward. A Vitality River instantly condensed in his palm, gathering various attributes of Vital Energy—thunder, flames, hurricanes, frost... countless Vital Energies converged together. This level of attack could rival Tier Martial Arts without any doubt.
Boom!
A series of loud noises erupted as the Vitality River surged toward Xing Chen, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort.
Demonic Flames flickered in Xing Chen's eyes as his Demonic Aura surged. Above the Hate Demon Armor, Ten Thousand Demons Roared as if they were about to break free from the armor and devour everything in their path.
Hate Demon Body!
At this moment, Xing Chen had even activated the Hate Demon Body. The combination of Hate Demon Body and Hate Demon Armor could almost defend against any attack, but he was injured, and whether he could withstand such a powerful assault remained uncertain.
As for attacking, Xing Chen didn't even think about it. Given his current physical condition, activating Hate Demon Body and Hate Demon Armor was already quite a struggle; there was no way he had the energy left to launch an attack.
Boom!
At that moment, the Vitality River surged forward, instantly engulfing Xing Chen within its depths.
"Xing Chen..." Meng Xiner exclaimed in shock, wanting to rush in to save him.
But at that moment, Xing Chen's voice suddenly emerged: "I'm fine, don't worry."
At the same time, on top of the Hate Demon Armor, Ten Thousand Demons Roar devoured the surrounding energy, while on the Hate Demon Body, one black hole after another appeared, absorbing and transforming this energy to heal Xing Chen's injuries.
In the end, the impacts of the Vitality River were no longer attacking Xing Chen; instead, they became a source of healing power for him.
"You take this move too!"
After a while, a long howl suddenly echoed from within the Vitality River, followed by a figure carrying a torrent of Demonic Aura bursting forth.
