Chapter 295: Chapter 178: Bitch! I’ll Smash You to Death

’Lin Tian! I knew there was something wrong with him!’

’Damn it, what’s going on?’

...

Under the dual pursuit of Chen Xuan and Ancient Star River.

The distant red glow enveloping the Dragon Pearl plummeted straight toward the earth.

PFFT!

The Dragon Pearl sank into the ground and vanished without a trace.

"He’s gone!"

Ancient Star River cried out in alarm, hovering in mid-air.

"He can’t escape. He went east. After him!"

Chen Xuan’s body flickered, and he resumed his high-speed chase into the distance.

Ancient Star River was startled. Without a second thought for questions, he immediately gave chase at top speed.

The two pushed their speed to the absolute limit.

One high in the sky.

The other low to the ground.

Both moved as fast as lightning.

Their glowing auras were brilliant and terrifying.

「In the distance.」

Lin Garden, who had fled into the earth, originally thought he could shake his pursuers just by going underground. But soon, his face filled with terror as he clearly sensed two powerful and horrifying auras rapidly closing in from far behind.

He continuously changed direction and tried to conceal his Spirit fluctuations, but it was all useless.

It was as if the two could see him perfectly.

No matter how he ran or what Secret Technique he used, he couldn’t shake them.

This shocked him to his core.

’How can this be?’

In all his long years of existence, this was the first time Lin Garden had ever felt panic.

Before them, it was as if he had no secrets at all.

’Damned Chen Xuan! How in the world did he find me?’

Lin Garden was terrified.

He could feel his Soul Power rapidly draining...

Even with the Dragon Pearl’s help, it wouldn’t last much longer.

If this kept up, he would eventually be completely depleted.

’Wait... could he be using the Dragon Pearl’s fluctuations to lock onto me?’

Alarmed by the thought, Lin Garden stopped abruptly. He quickly concealed his presence, hiding himself a thousand meters underground and letting no more fluctuations escape.

But unexpectedly, Chen Xuan shot in from the distance. His body was like a brilliant golden sun, erupting with dazzling light as he smashed a blow directly down at the ground ahead.

"Die!!"

BOOM!

A terrifying, blinding blast of Fire Attribute True Essence, accompanied by dazzling bolts of lightning, plunged downwards. It was a spectacular, radiant beam that shot deep into the earth.

Hiding there, Lin Garden’s face went pale. He hurriedly fled forward once again.

Fortunately, thanks to the thick layers of soil obstructing the attack and the Dragon Pearl dampening its power, he barely managed to evade it.

Even so, his original hiding spot was cooked through by Chen Xuan’s single attack from a thousand meters above. Countless tons of rock and soil were turned to dust, radiating a terrifying, scorching heat.

’Damn it, damn it all...’

Terror filled Lin Garden once more as he continued to flee wildly into the distance.

"Keep after him!"

Chen Xuan continued the frantic chase.

Old Deng immediately followed close behind.

Under their relentless, high-speed pursuit, Lin Garden was like a beaten dog, his terror beyond measure.

’I’m going to die.’

’This time, I’m really going to die.’

’If I had known this would happen, I never should have joined the Martial Alliance.’

’Even staying in the secret realm would have been better!’

’Why?’

’Why was I exposed?!’

’I can’t accept dying like this!’

After he fled for another stretch, Lin Garden’s Soul Power finally began to rapidly deplete. His very soul started to crumble and dissipate.

He knew that if he kept going, he would die even without his pursuers laying a hand on him.

"Young Hero Chen, let me explain! I have a great opportunity for you!"

Lin Garden shrieked. His voice traveled through hundreds of meters of earth and echoed through the surrounding dense forest.

At this moment, he truly had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

’An opportunity?’

Chen Xuan stopped charging the massive attack he had been preparing. He hovered in mid-air, his gaze chilling and intimidating, as if it could pierce through the thick layers of soil. In his mind, his Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2) could clearly sense a flashing red dot hidden seven or eight hundred meters below ground.

"Come out!"

Chen Xuan said.

"Promise you’ll spare my life, and I’ll definitely come out! I’ll even give you the opportunity!"

Lin Garden’s miserable voice called out again.

"Come out, and I’ll spare your life,"

Chen Xuan said.

"No! You have to make a deadly oath! Only a deadly oath will do!"

Lin Garden’s desperate voice cried out once more.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan’s eyes. He unleashed the massive attack he had charged to its absolute limit, smashing it downward.

"Enough of your nonsense! Die!!"

BOOM!

A terrifying golden light, laced with dazzling lightning, once again plunged down. It pierced through layer after layer of earth, aiming with unerring precision to run its target through.

Even the dense layers of soil couldn’t significantly weaken its power.

The might of Chen Xuan’s strike was too ferocious!

It was utterly hopeless!

It was a single strike, the culmination of many stacked buffs.

Its power was already beyond belief.

Hiding beneath the soil, Lin Garden was petrified. He quickly shrank into the Dragon Pearl, attempting to use it to block the cataclysmic attack. But when the scorching light struck the Dragon Pearl, not even it could protect him.

Over the long years, he had already consumed most of the Dragon Pearl’s power.

And Chen Xuan’s strength was just that freakish, that extraordinary.

So even the Dragon Pearl was useless.

CRACK!

AHH!

Fine cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the golden Dragon Pearl.

The Lin Garden hiding inside let out a bloodcurdling scream, wailing in agony as if subjected to some unspeakably horrific torture.

"I won’t accept this! I won’t accept this! Even in death, I will curse you! I curse..."

PFFT!

Under Chen Xuan’s scorching, terrifying attack, his soul was utterly pulverized and vanished.

[You have killed a remnant soul. Retribution points +40,000!]

Soon, Chen Xuan frowned. Sensing something unusual underground, he quickly landed, placed his palm directly on the ground, and spread his True Essence like a great net, blanketing the earth beneath.
