That sudden voice made everyone shiver. It was as sharp as a demon crawling out of the abyss. It came from the whirlpool in the center of the lake.
Qin Xue Xin also saw that murderous aura. Her delicate body shivered.
Pow!
Suddenly, a big hand hugged her. Qin Shi was also calm, but he didn't show it in front of Qin Xue Xin. He just comforted her, "Don't be nervous. I'm here."
"Okay!"
Qin Xue Xin answered. With Qin Shi here, she could relax a lot.
However, the other disciples didn't know what that murderous aura was. They couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"
"Could it be … could it be that there's another huge ferocious beast hidden under the Heaven Lake?" A group of disciples stared at the Heaven Lake without blinking.
Suddenly, a familiar silhouette broke out of the lake. That silhouette looked very distressed. He was covered in blood from head to toe. Surprisingly, the blood wasn't red, but black.
In the chest of that figure, there was a shocking hole. It was very eye-catching, piercing through the heart, ribs, and internal organs. Many people were surprised that with such a serious injury, how could he still live until now?
"It's you?"
Seeing that silhouette clearly, Qin Shi clenched his fists. He felt uneasy. "It can't be that simple."
Then, more and more people shouted, "It's, it's Chen Gan?"
"He, he's not dead?"
They couldn't believe their eyes.
Chen Gan floated strangely on the surface of the lake. His entire body was filled with a dense killing intent, and even the whites of his eyes had been swallowed by black. He looked at Qin Shi malevolently and laughed in a shrill voice, "Brat, I've underestimated you. I really didn't think that you would actually grow to such an extent in a short year. Could it be that even the inner division values you so much?"
"Inner group?"
Hearing that name, Qin Shi's heart thumped. "You're not a disciple of the Chaos Lands, but a member of the Puppet Group?"
"Haha, that's right. To be precise, I'm a demon from the Puppet Group!"
Chen Gan became extremely ostentatious. Shortly after, he abruptly spread open his arms. Space itself trembled and the space around him instantly collapsed, turning into countless fragments.
After receiving confirmation, Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. "The Realm of Chaos is indeed colluding with the Pi Group."
Chen Gan fiercely glared at Qin Shi. "Originally, I wanted to hide for a while longer. I didn't expect that my physical body would be destroyed by you. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to hide anymore. In any case, my mission this time is in the God Realm Ritual."
"I'll let you see my true form. I'll also let you know how ridiculous it is for you to think you can defeat me. You overestimate yourself!"
"Sky Demon Transformation!"
Chen Gan's voice cracked in the end, and his entire face contorted. The ferocious killing intent around him surged and spewed out mist, piercing through his body from the top of his head. After that, it spread along his skin like a seal, densely packed and densely packed together.
Finally, there was a bang!
Chen Gan's body exploded. His physical body turned into dust that filled the sky. It was a frightening sight. What was left of Chen Gan's body was a black cloud that was like a black hole. The black cloud continuously changed and surged a few times. Suddenly, it exploded into a huge fog.
A ferocious demon that was nearly ten thousand feet tall appeared in the sky, covering the sun. Its demon eyes, which were the size of several people, stared intently at Qin Shi.
"What, what kind of monster is this?"
"Heavens, so terrifying … Chen Gan, what exactly is Chen Gan?"
In an instant, all the disciples from the eight regions panicked.
Even Xiao Yan was the same. The only one who wasn't surprised was the Blue Snow Sect's Ying Huo. He hid behind the crowd with a strange smile.
"Looks like you have been forced to use your full strength. However, this is not bad. It should be over soon. That brat will die in your hands. It will be much easier for me."
Qin Shi's heart sank when he saw Chen Gan transform into his demon body. His eyes became slightly serious. He could feel the power around Chen Gan's body, and it was impossible for him to remain calm. "Advanced Domain?"
"Why?
Are you afraid?
If it wasn't for the sake of hiding my identity, why would I, a dignified protector of Group Ma, curl up in the body of a lowly human like you! "
Chen Gan laughed wildly. His strength was so ferocious that it caused people to shudder. The surrounding empty space continued to crack. Soon after, he went crazy and revealed his fangs at Qin Shi. "Little bastard, it's all your fault. That's why I have to reveal my true body. I will tear you into pieces right now!"
"Go to hell!"
"Ferocious Hell Flame Claw!"
Boom!
Suddenly, five black flames shot out. They rolled over the mouth of the volcano and landed on Qin Shi's chest.
Qin Shi furrowed his brows. Following that, he hugged Qin Xue Xin and stomped his feet. A ray of lightning rose from his feet and landed on his back to form a pair of lightning wings. With a flap, he flew a hundred meters high.
Rumble!
In the next second, the mouth of the volcano was hit by the black flames. The originally incomparably sturdy rocks exploded, turning into lava that fell from the sky.
"Run?
It's not that easy! "Chen Gan went crazy and waved his demonic claws.
With his huge body, each attack was earth-shattering.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The entire volcano area was destroyed. The violent fluctuations caused the volcano to erupt. Streams of lava that were thousands of meters high pierced through the clouds.
"Not good, this place is going to be destroyed!"
The eyes of the disciples from the eight regions were filled with fear. Even Xiao Yan lost his ability to resist. He clenched his teeth. Although he was very unwilling, he still waved his hand and ordered the disciples from the Blazing Domain, "Disciples from the Blazing Domain, retreat!"
"Retreat!"
"All disciples, retreat!"
The disciples from the eight regions fled in all directions in a panic.
Haoyue clenched her teeth and shouted at Ning Yu and Kong Hyun-hui, "We also have to leave this place. Otherwise, we will all die here!"
"No, Shi Tou is still here!" Kong Hyun-hui scolded.
"He is much more fortunate than you!" Haoyue couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense. She grabbed Kong Hyun-hui's wrist and pulled Ning Yu, the fatty, into the sky.
They only stopped when they were thousands of meters away. However, when they looked at the mouth of the volcano in the middle, there was not a single part of it that was left unscathed.
Chen Gan's black flames were almost destructive. Everywhere they passed, there was a scene of devastation.
"Shi Tou!"
Under Chen Gan's attack, Qin Shi quickly fell into a passive position. Under the scorching hot lava rain, one was chasing and the other was fleeing, shuttling back and forth continuously.
With Qin Shi's current strength, it was impossible for him to resist an advanced domain. Moreover, with Qin Xue Xin by his side, he didn't dare to take the risk and gamble with his life. He could only flee in all directions.
"Tell me, how should I kill you?" Chen Gan gained the upper hand and became increasingly arrogant. He was completely immersed in his self-admiration and self-indulgence.
Now, he had already treated trampling on Qin Shi as a kind of pleasure of finding a superior existence. "In the eight regions, even those old fellows from the Chaotic Territory have to be polite to me when they see me. You bastard, how dare you provoke me? I will not let you die so easily. I will make you wish you were dead!"
When Qin Shi heard that, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he was also angry that he had been suppressed by Team Ma. However, before he could speak, his pupils shrank. He exerted force in his palm and pushed Qin Xue Xin away.
Then, the five rays of blood-red light expanded rapidly.
"Shi Tou!" Qin Xue Xin steadied herself a hundred meters away. She turned around and cried out involuntarily.
Chen Gan attacked with all his strength. With Qin Shi's current strength, it was impossible for him to escape unscathed. As the blood-red light approached, he clenched his teeth. It was too late to dodge.
"Relic Mantle!"
He raised his hand and a nine-story golden pagoda protected him.
Boom!
Rumble!
However, after a while, the seemingly sturdy golden pagoda collapsed, turning into broken golden-scaled tiles that filled the sky. Qin Shi's thin body was completely exposed.
After that, the bloody light did not slow down. It continued to pass through the Nine Underworlds as it rolled down, suddenly forcing Qin Shi back a hundred meters.
Qin Shi stopped moving. A bloody wound could be seen on his shoulder. It extended all the way to his lower abdomen. He looked extremely miserable.
"Qin Shi!
Shi Tou! "Everyone was anxious.
"Oh, you didn't die?"
Chen Gan laughed coldly. It was as if he was happy that Qin Shi didn't die. If Qin Shi died, it would be like losing a toy. "That's right. The torture that follows will be more interesting!"
After saying that, he lowered his body. His huge demonic body was almost half the size of a volcano. As if he was hibernating at the mouth of a volcano, he flicked his fingers at Qin Shi.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Then, several rays of blood-red light shot out.
"I'd like to see how many times you can block this kind of attack!"
Chen Gan laughed sinisterly. He didn't stop attacking. Every attack was aimed at Qin Shi's vital points.
Qin Shi's heart sank. That attack just now had already seriously injured him. Seeing that there were several more attacks coming, he definitely couldn't block them. His body shook, and lightning flashed.
He started to retreat. This made Chen Gan feel even more superior. "Haha, brat, you're starting to run?"
Chen Gan's mockery was very strong. Like a cat chasing a mouse, he started to chase after Qin Shi. This sudden change in the situation made the disciples of the eight regions confused.
"It looks like Qin Shi is going to lose!"
"Definitely. Who can be a match for that kind of monster?"
All the disciples let out a long sigh. However, under the clamor of the crowd, Qin Shi did not show anything. From beginning to end, he used his spirit force to combine with the lightning power above the clouds and controlled the lightning power to move around the volcano.
"Is he planning to keep hiding like this?"
Xiao Yan and a few other disciples who had some status frowned. Even the three people who had a close relationship with Haoyue and Qin Shi were embarrassed.
Qin Shi's speed was indeed quite good. If he, who possessed the Heavenly Lightning affinity, were to intentionally dodge, it would be sufficient to render Chen Gan's pursuit ineffective even in this kind of dangerous situation. It would also be quite difficult for Chen Gan to kill him.
However, this wasn't a long term plan.
The Sacrifice of the God Region was only so big. There would be a moment when the spiritual power would be exhausted. Furthermore, it was such a huge consumption.
Kong Hyun-hui shook her head. "No, he seems to be preparing something."
