Chapter 674: Yin-Natured Nutrient, Mutated Black Flame's Great Boon! (3)

Her fear was because she thought that Chu Ming had uncovered the thoughts she had buried deep in her heart.

In fact, the Ashen Soul Flame Prison Heart-Seizing Spell only controls the soul and cannot allow Chu Ming to perceive Xing Man’s innermost thoughts, but he deduced something through Xing Man’s words and actions.

After just a bit of verification, he had his answer.

The second strongest in the Seven-Star Kingdom probably plans to use her life to exchange for Han Court.

The Ashen Soul Flame Prison Heart-Seizing Spell can make those controlled by their souls submit and unable to do anything that threatens him, but they can take the opportunity of a moment of his distraction to end their own life.

In most cases, living is better than dying, so even if controlled by the soul, few are willing to die.

However, there are always exceptions, and barring surprises, Xing Man might just do this.

Bringing her to this place, Chu Ming would certainly not allow Xing Man to commit suicide without contributing.

“You should recognize this jade, right?” Chu Ming took out a Jade Pendant and tossed it before Xing Man’s forehead.

Xing Man covered her face in panic, raising her head to look.

But upon seeing the Jade Pendant, her heart suddenly froze, as if being gripped by a giant hand.

This Jade Pendant was what she gave Han Court a century ago, not a treasure, but it represented her feelings for Han Court.

Yet, how could such a private item appear in someone’s else hands?

Xing Man’s heart instantly tangled and chaotic.

And when she sensed the aura of the True Intent Soldier Embryo sealed within the Jade Pendant, her chest burned with anger, instantly turning the tangled mess into ashes.

The Emotional Jade Pendant, her aura triggered the collapse of the seal, inside it concealed the aura of the True Intent Soldier Embryo, all telling one thing—Han Court really wants to kill her!

Why?

This time her trembling was uncontrollable.

Could it be, because of the affair between the Han Family and the Xing Family, Han Court wants to kill her?

Hundreds of years fighting side by side, sharing the same bed, is still less than the value of the two families?

Anger… hate… pain…

Chu Ming watched from the side, his gaze becoming deep once more.

With the goal achieved, now was the time to proceed with the main task.

“Follow me.”

The first task, eliminate the assassins from Shadow Tower.

Not to mention he already had a vendetta with Shadow Tower, he needed to find out how many people Shadow Tower had sent before entering the Sixth Sword Tomb.

According to Shadow Tower’s mode of operation, they wouldn’t act alone.

Right outside the tomb, there was a Seventh Realm Guiyuan Realm, and inside the tomb highly likely there were more, possibly stronger ones.

To prevent any accidents, he must resolve the Shadow Tower issue before taking action.

Despite the pain and anger in her heart, Xing Man had no choice but to obey the command and follow along.

…

On the other side.

Shadow Tower’s Seven-star Assassin Sentry Shadow noticed someone entering the Sixth Sword Tomb and immediately sent a message to the Dark Walker.

“Big brother, Seven-Star Kingdom’s Xing Man and someone at the late stage of Sea of Qi Realm entered the Sixth Sword Tomb.”

There were three individuals from Shadow Tower who entered the tomb, the strongest among them, Dark Walker, was the first to break through the Sixth Sword Tomb and reach the Seventh Sword Tomb, while the slightly less powerful Ghost Demon was currently breaking through the Sixth Sword Tomb. Because multiple people breaking through together would increase the difficulty of the tomb, Sentry Shadow stayed outside the tomb.

Soon, Sentry Shadow received a reply, consisting of only one word.

“Kill!”

Seeing the reply, Sentry Shadow’s face instantly revealed a fierce smile, followed by the release of killing intent.

With strength within the early stage of Returning to the Origin Realm, Sentry Shadow’s prowess surpassed Xing Man of the Seven-Star Kingdom.

As for the other individual he sensed at the late stage of Sea of Qi Realm, was never considered significant from the beginning.

As Chu Ming brought Xing Man flying over, Shadow Tower’s Sentry Shadow too was flying towards them.

Within just a few breaths, the two sides met face to face.

“Shadow Tower!” Xing Man gritted with rage, her anger rising again.

“Tsk tsk, Star Lord Xing Man has good eyesight to recognize me,” Sentry Shadow sneered coldly, “Since so, you can’t be spared today.”

“This place is the Seven-Star Sword Tomb of our Seven-Star Kingdom!”

“No no… Star Lord Xing Man is mistaken, the Seven-Star Sword Tomb belongs to the Ancient Profound Western Continent, the Seven-Star Kingdom is merely leeches alongside the tomb.”

“You!” Xing Man was furious, unable to hold back.

“Haha, heard long ago that the Seven-Star Divine Sword and Seven-Star Sword Technique of the Seven-Star Kingdom were aggressive and fierce, why not let me, Star Lord Xing Man, have a look?”

Sentry Shadow audaciously sized up Xing Man, then mocked coldly, “If Star Lord Xing Man doesn’t act, then I’ll make the first move.”

In his words, Sentry Shadow didn’t even put the second strongest of the Seven-Star Kingdom in his eyes.

The strength of the Seven-Star Kingdom traces back to Xing Man’s contributions, but primarily relies on Han Court, hence Sentry Shadow’s attitude was understandable.

However.

As Sentry Shadow’s hands emitted black aura and he prepared to strike, the black-clad youth next to Xing Man stepped forward slowly.

Sentry Shadow paused momentarily, somewhat surprised, and glanced at the black-clad youth.

After a brief pause.

“Haha…” He laughed looking towards Xing Man, “What? Star Lord Xing Man, now that Han Court isn’t here, is your only reliance a Sea of Qi Realm?”

Then he looked at the black-clad youth with full disdain: “Kid, it’s not easy to cultivate to the later stage of Sea of Qi Realm, but you should know that above Sea of Qi Realm, there is the Returning to the Origin Realm, right?”

“Oh no, of course you know, after all, Star Lord Xing Man is in the Returning to the Origin Realm.”

At this, the disdain on his face had turned into a chill, “Knowing the gap, you dared to step forward. I don’t know if I should praise your courage or ought to say ‘ugh’?”

Before completing, Sentry Shadow’s tone changed abruptly.

Above, seven stars joined as a Divine Sword, and pressure descended.

“You…!” Fear engulfed Sentry Shadow.

Chu Ming gazed at Sentry Shadow, with a gentle smile.

Then.

True Intent Divine Techniques, Seven-Star Sword Technique, strike!

Boom——Boom——
