For old foxes like Xie Xuan and Elder Wu, even the slightest disturbance can make them sense something wrong.
Zhang Shicheng clearly has the absolute advantage, yet he abandoned the two at the critical moment. This is highly unusual!
There should be two possibilities for this situation:
The first is that the Water Fortune amid Heaven and Earth is too overwhelming, and the opponent has already suffered a backlash. The backlash might even be so severe that he can’t endure the few breaths needed to kill the two of them. Isn’t this the best time for the two to beat a drowning dog?
The second possibility is that an unforeseen change forced Zhang Shicheng to leave. In that case, the two need to go back and see if they have a chance to beat the drowning dog and kill Zhang Shicheng.
"First destroy the Feng Shui Grand Array, and then let’s see what’s happening with the Dragon Seed," Xie Xuan said, instead of rushing forward, discussing with Elder Wu.
"Alright then!" Elder Wu nodded: "If we join forces to destroy the Feng Shui Grand Array, even if the Dragon Seed hasn’t encountered any issues, without the Feng Shui Grand Array suppressing the Water Fortune, the Dragon Seed will definitely suffer the backlash, giving us a chance to kill it."
The two went to destroy the Feng Shui Grand Array, while Zhang Shicheng, following the sense, returned all the way to his lair and saw Zhang Chen standing in front of the Crystal Coffin.
Especially sensing the True Dragon Destiny flowing around Zhang Chen, Zhang Shicheng couldn’t help but shed tears of joy: "Heaven has not forsaken me! The heavens treat me well, delivering such Creation right to me."
As long as he consumes Zhang Chen, the True Dragon Destiny will be restored. Although the Crystal Coffin is broken and his ’Fetal Qi’ is leaking, it doesn’t matter because he now has the Gluttony Bloodline, which can devour the True Dragon’s blessings to compensate.
"You’re the original Prince Pingbian, Zhang Shicheng?" Zhang Chen stood before the coffin without rushing to act, instead asking a question.
"Didn’t expect after hundreds of years someone still knows the identity of this Prince. You lad have done your homework, truly attentive. But since you’re attentive, you shouldn’t come here to send yourself to death! Considering you are about to complete my ancestal Creation, if you have any last wish, I can fulfill it for you."
Zhang Shicheng was extremely cheerful at this moment, indeed feeling that after seeing obstacles, there’s finally a bright path; didn’t expect the True Dragon Destiny to deliver itself.
Upon hearing Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Chen’s eyes spun, and he grinned: "Since the Prince is so kind, I won’t be polite then. I’m very curious about the Prince’s flesh and blood, I’d like the Prince to offer it to fulfill my wish, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shicheng’s pupils shrank, and he quickly scrutinized Zhang Chen up and down. After a moment, he frowned: "Shouldn’t be! You’re merely a mortal, how do you have the courage to speak to me this way?"
"No matter who you are or what peculiarity you have, you’re still a mortal. With my good intentions to fulfill your wish, you dare plot against me? Today I’ll show you what it means not to die pleasantly." With a cold snort, Zhang Shicheng’s overwhelming Long Wei surged up, trying to suppress Zhang Chen.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen chuckled coldly: "Zhang Shicheng, you want to kill me, but first you must see if you have the ability."
In the next moment, Zhang Chen directly activated the skill: Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing.
As Zhang Chen activated the skill, the void twisted momentarily, Zhang Chen’s soul jumped lightly and entered the mysterious dimension, a gray chain appearing beneath his feet.
"Zhang Shicheng! All your Creation will be mine!"
With a cold smile on his lips, Zhang Chen yanked the chain, pulling it taut with a clink, trying to hook Zhang Shicheng’s soul out.
Zhang Shicheng’s soul was very heavy, unprecedentedly so, causing Zhang Chen much trouble; even moving a few centimeters took a second. But in the end, he managed to pull it, dragging it from the void into the gray world.
"Lad, where is this? What is your ability? Using this against me?" Upon arriving in the dim world, Zhang Shicheng’s Yang God changed color drastically, showing shock as he gazed at the chain binding him, the other end held by Zhang Chen; a sense of ominous foreboding hit Zhang Shicheng, his face changing accordingly.
"But it doesn’t matter. Once I catch you, everything will be resolved!" Zhang Shicheng extended his hand, emitting blue Thunder flashes — Jia Wood Celestial Thunder — slicing through the void, falling directly upon Zhang Chen’s soul, yet it passed right through Zhang Chen harmlessly.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen smiled more triumphantly; his Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing skill held an iron rule: if someone’s soul were hooked by him, no matter their power, during this period, none could harm him at all.
"How could this be! What ghostly ability do you possess?" Zhang Shicheng, seeing this, was filled with shock in his eyes, his pupils full of terror.
He couldn’t believe his eyes; even a Yang God level being wouldn’t dare withstand a strike of Jia Wood Celestial Thunder! But Zhang Chen let it hit his soul unscratched; this was simply unbelievable!
