Chapter 529: Stealing the Monster

The Earth and Stone Technique was highly effective, stripping the rock giant of its indestructible outer shell and dealing a significant blow to this formidable giant.

However, Wang Chen knew very well that it was unrealistic to rely on this alone to defeat his opponent.

The giant’s core was hidden deep within its massive body, and his magical power faced great resistance after penetrating a certain distance, making it impossible to destroy its core.

Thus, the Earth and Stone Technique could only be considered a clever tactic, not a winning move, which is why he decided to withdraw immediately.

Engaging in a prolonged struggle would not benefit Wang Chen; he needed a quick resolution!

In the next moment, Wang Chen swung the Concealed Dragon Stick with all his might, striking heavily against the rock giant’s chest.

The giant’s Chest Armor was the thickest and hardest, but Wang Chen had discovered that its core was hidden within the chest cavity.

He had to break through this hard shell to take its life!

Bang!

The thick rocky armor shattered into pieces under the impact of the Concealed Dragon Stick. The rock giant, trying to struggle back up, was struck down again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wang Chen delivered blow after blow, unleashing all his skills and pushing his strength to the limit.

As the Concealed Dragon Stick, infused with magical power, erupted with the destructive power of a higher-level spirit tool, its force penetrated the giant’s body, breaking and grinding down the Negative Energy that resided within.

In just a few breaths, Wang Chen had struck the rock giant over ten times.

Each hit was delivered with all his strength!

The rock giant, though powerful, had its defenses severely weakened by the Earth and Stone Technique earlier. Now, with the continuous strikes from the Concealed Dragon Stick, its core suffered repeated damage until it finally couldn’t hold on anymore.

Crack!

With Wang Chen’s next strike, its chest cavity was completely smashed, revealing a dark red Stone Heart.

This heart, larger than a human head, throbbed violently, its surface covered in black veins, looking particularly hideous and terrifying.

Before Wang Chen could deliver a fatal blow to the rock giant’s core, the massive heart suddenly detached and flew towards the Evil Nests as if it had sprouted wings.

A cooked duck wants to fly away?

Although the sight of the Stone Heart fleeing was completely unexpected for Wang Chen, he couldn’t allow his prey to escape. He immediately reached out his right hand to grasp it from the air.

At that moment, the Stone Heart had already flown several dozen steps away and was caught by Wang Chen’s magical energy, swelling and struggling desperately.

However, in the next moment, a large net suddenly enveloped it.

Wang Chen, fearing that the situation might turn unfavorable, directly deployed a powerful weapon against the giant’s magical spirits.

Once the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil was unleashed, there was no longer any suspense; the trapped Stone Heart emitted wisps of white smoke, and the Negative Energy inside rapidly weakened, shrinking in size by half in the blink of an eye.

When Wang Chen retracted the Exorcising Net, all that remained inside was an Evil Energy Pearl the size of a baby’s fist!

Done.

Wang Chen stored this valuable Evil Energy Pearl in his Xumi Ring and let out a long sigh of relief.

At this point, the remnants of the rock giant on the ground had turned into countless shattered stones.

This giant was indeed very strong; if not for the suppression by Wang Chen’s Perfected Level Earth and Stone Technique, combined with his daring Close Combat tactics and the destructive power of the Concealed Dragon Stick to overcome the enemy, it would not have been an easy victory.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to act so swiftly.

Next, Wang Chen calmly eradicated all the flying insects and then methodically cleared out the black nests on the mountain peak.

Finally, only the largest and most significant target remained—the Evil Nest.

Wang Chen refrained from directly attacking the Evil Nest, opting instead to cleanse the surrounding area first. He sensed that this lair of evil spirits was akin to a volcano on the brink of eruption, highly unstable within.

It was fraught with peril!

Deep within the Evil Nest, something seemed to be brewing, exuding an inexplicable aura that made Wang Chen cautious about acting rashly.

After obliterating the last black nest, Wang Chen retreated to a spot a hundred steps away from the Evil Nest.

He quietly activated the Global Mode.

With the Global Mode’s unique abilities, Wang Chen could directly perceive the status of his target.

This included the threat level!

In his vision, a conspicuous black dot immediately appeared.

Wang Chen’s heart tightened.

However, what astonished him even more was the appearance of several white dots in his field of vision, rapidly moving towards his location!

Wang Chen was momentarily taken aback.

He promptly deactivated the Global Mode and turned to look down.

He saw figures darting towards him; they were disciples clad in the sect’s robes.

Wang Chen’s fellow disciples!

"Eh?"

The newcomers approached swiftly, and one of the disciples looked at Wang Chen with a puzzled expression and asked, "Wang Chen, what are you doing here?"

Other disciples followed closely behind, totaling seven in number, creating quite an impressive scene.

They naturally noticed Wang Chen’s presence, with some looking surprised, others puzzled, some disdainful, and others indifferent.

"So it’s Senior Brother Chen."

Wang Chen lightly replied, "I wonder what brings all of you to my Wu Jiu Wu areas?"

The visitor was indeed a fellow disciple who entered the Underworld Realm alongside Wang Chen; Wang Chen remembered that this Senior Brother Chen was assigned to the Wu Jiu San areas.

Although they were neighbors, they had no interactions at all.

Facing Wang Chen’s question, Senior Brother Chen briefly showed some embarrassment and coughed a couple of times before saying, "Junior Brother Wang, your words are not quite accurate; this place shouldn’t fall within your areas for expansion."

Wang Chen smiled.

The sect’s law hall defined the boundaries for areas of expansion, but there were no precise demarcations.

The issue was that this location was only twenty to thirty miles from the Wei Hall that Wang Chen built, and for them to claim it wasn’t part of the Wu Jiu Wu areas was clearly an attempt to be unreasonable.

They came to steal the monster!

Wang Chen pointed to the Evil Nest on the peak behind him and frankly exposed their intentions: "Senior Brother Chen, you came for this Evil Nest, didn’t you?"

To be honest, he found it puzzling; since Evil Nests were everywhere, why did these guys specifically come to his territory?

"That’s right."

At that moment, a long-faced disciple smiled insincerely and said, "Junior Brother Wang, we are here for your benefit; you can’t handle this Evil Nest alone. We’ll help you clear it out, and you should thank us!"

Senior Brother Chen instantly felt reassured and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, exactly!"

Wang Chen found it amusing: "You came uninvited, claiming to do this for my sake. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?"

Several disciples turned serious, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The long-faced disciple said ominously, "Junior Brother Wang…"

"Alright!"

Wang Chen raised his hand, interrupting him: "If you want it, just take it. Just pretend I have nothing to do with it."

As soon as his voice fell, he swiftly dashed away.

In just a few leaps, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The group of disciples hadn’t expected Wang Chen to leave so suddenly, exchanging confused glances.

The long-faced disciple sneered: "He knows his place."

In his view, Wang Chen must have been afraid of their group, and he left to maintain some face.

"Now let’s see what we can do!"
