Chapter 968: Pursuit in the Netherworld

rlier that Shen Xiang was very secretive but believed he wouldn't be weaker than him due to his bloodline's ability making his power many times stronger than normal people.When Shen Xiang gripped the...Chapter 968 - Pursuit in the Inferno

Huo Caoyong's hands were covered in blood, his emaciated body trembling as he stared at the bloodstains. He couldn't believe that he had personally killed his own disciple and even allowed a divine sword to be taken away!The divine sword was given by an important figure from the Heavenly Realm to Yang Yi because he possessed a unique skill for traversing through the void. This figure praised Yang Yi, excitedly giving him a divine sword. Even his own master was envious of this gift, but now...Huo Caoyong's rage filled him as he ordered pursuit. His growl sent a gust of wind, dispersing the thunderclouds in the sky as Shen Xiang took off after him. Now, he was already disappearing from sight.Huo Caoyong's eyes red with anger, he led over a dozen elders in pursuit of Shen Xiang. Yao Shumei initially tried to stop him, but within moments, they were out of sight at a distance."That's the Purple Dragon Divine Sword, said to be made from dragon bone. It's known in the Heavenly Realm for its fame, yet it was taken by a mere youngling here!" The Demon Queen sighed softly. Although Shen Xiang's strength was vastly inferior to hers, his actions were surprisingly impressive."Heh heh, I've gotten used to it. My young master is so powerful, you're definitely making the right choice by allying with him! If not for the fact that many people are eyeing my young master's Azure Dragon Demon Slayer Blade and Heaven-Battling Techniques, he would have been honored by many major forces," Gu Dongchen smiled.Yao Shumei and the Demon Queen nodded in agreement. Gu Dongchen was right; Shen Xiang was a prodigy among the young, carrying the grandeur of an emperor. However, because his current strength was too weak yet he possessed many shocking and valuable items, he became a target for multiple major forces."Lady Peach Lady, prepare your plans for when our Great Elder dies. I think they're chasing after my young master to their doom!"Gu Dongchen's words made Yao Shumei and Mu Jiulan's body tremble, causing the fragrance of her jade-like figure to spread. It was rumored that only a few who pursued Shen Xiang managed to return alive, especially after Shen Xiang received Heaven-Battling Techniques under the guise of Li Renshan. Many ancient powers were drawn to him, leading to deaths among powerful figures during the night.It was unclear what method Shen Xiang used, making this mysterious topic continue to be discussed among people.Yao Shumei looked towards the direction of their Peach Holy Land's large mineral veins. Two people had just headed that way earlier.The Demon Queen glanced around, whispering softly, "Don't worry about it. You can first talk to Shen Xiang and pretend you're tough on him, chasing and punishing him with rewards. However, in secret, you should be friendly to him." "That's fine. My young master is adept at escaping, so more people pursuing him won't be a problem. Even if the Demon Queen sends out the entire Demon Rhythm Immortal Realm, I doubt she could catch him," Gu Dongchen chuckled. Shen Xiang's strength surpasses his, but who knows what the future holds Besides, both his master and Huang Jintian respect him very much. Shen Xiang's ability to cultivate the Taiji Dragon Suppression Skill indicates that he's also a lunatic like his master and Huang Jintian.Shen Xiang had caused trouble for them only recently, first by slaying the Heavenly Son of Azure Moon Holy Land and releasing a large group. Then he killed multiple elders from Azure Moon Holy Land, eliminated the Heavenly Demon King, and now he's hunted down a new Heavenly Son with special techniques from the Heavenly Realm. Although it wasn't Shen Xiang who personally killed him, Azure Moon Holy Land still blamed him.The Great Elder wouldn't admit to the broken head incident, fearing how others would perceive him if they knew.Although Gu Dongchen and the Demon Queen were there, their words would likely be denied by the Peach Holy Land. Only now is Great Elder Huo Caoyong still pursuing Shen Xiang, not returning to the Peach Holy Land for days."These guys have lost big. Not only did they lose a promising young talent, but I also got my hands on their divine sword! Ha ha!" Shen Xiang secretly reveled. His laughter continued as he evaded his pursuers, angering the old man chasing after him.Huo Caoyong was now too afraid to attack Shen Xiang, fearing he might unleash something like the Heavenly Demon King."Old man, rest for a bit. If you can beat me with strength, one slap would knock me out, but if speed is the factor, you can't match Ten Great Emperors' Shrink Space Step. Ha ha…" Shen Xiang taunted the old men as he flew, "If you keep going at this pace, your bones will break!""Hey elder, how does it feel slapping your own disciple's head Isn't it very satisfying" Shen Xiang had prodded Huo Caoyong's pain points for days, now causing him to finally erupt.He was just shouting in madness and didn't do anything. His chest was filled with anger, bound to explode if he didn't let it out!Shen Xiang could easily escape his pursuers, but he didn't want them to return so quickly. If possible, he aimed to kill these guys to prevent their future growth from threatening him.After ten days, Shen Xiang kept up with the Shrink Space Step without stopping. His pursuers did so as well, and they had been chasing him for days, how could they give up when he's right in front of themOf course, they also suspected that Shen Xiang was playing with them on purpose. But they believed this to be his ultimate speed, as he would have long left them behind otherwise. They knew the exhaustion from those ten days and believed that for a young person like Shen Xiang, this desperate escape was incredibly exhausting. They hoped that by continuing to chase him, they could capture Shen Xiang.They didn't realize that Shen Xiang's physical body had reached the perfected Divine and Demon Body realm, with countless elixirs on him. If they knew this, they would have returned without looking back, as chasing him further was completely unknown.Shen Xiang had two goals. One was to find a good place to strike using the Death Summoning Poison Bow and destructive腐朽 death energy. The other was to have these old bones explore the beautiful sights of Heaven Thunder Inferno, curious about why Bai Hu warned Duan Sanchang and company not to come in. He sought out what secrets Heaven Thunder Inferno hid, wanting to find Duan Sanchang's grandfather by chance!Shen Xiang led these people for thirteen days, and on that day, as dusk approached, he suddenly felt something was off. "The number of people has increased unexpectedly. One, two, three..."“Eleven!” Shen Xiang exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't there only ten old men Where did this extra one suddenly pop out from"“I didn't notice either. When did this old man appear It seems like he's following right behind that group of old men!" Dragon Xieyi was also incredulous.“Damn it, this old man looks somewhat like Duan Sanchang. Could he be his grandfather!” Shen Xiang was momentarily stunned, realizing the Duan family was indeed peculiar. Duan Sanchang's grandfather was actually laughing and following closely behind, like an old man joining the fun without a care.old back anymore, and while Shen Xiang was far behind them, they attacked. They condensed a violent blast of true energy and sent it towards Shen Xiang!Shen Xiang released his divine strength, instant...
