Kong Hyun-hui didn't hide anything. She nodded and said, "You still don't understand him after so long?"
After being stunned for a moment, Haoyue was immediately speechless. In terms of trump cards, Qin Shi was indeed unparalleled. Ever since they had met, Haoyue had seen too much. In his eyes, Qin Shi was like a hundred treasures bag.
However, this time was different. His nervousness didn't fade away. He clenched his fists and said, "Even if he wants to defeat Chen Gan, I'm afraid it's not very possible, right?"
Kong Xianhui bit her lips in response to this answer. Her heart was filled with doubt.
"Now, we can only hope."
"Brat, you run pretty fast!"
Chen Gan fiercely chased after him. His demonic claws flipped in the air and each attack was more powerful than the one before it, stabbing towards Qin Shi's back.
"Heaven Devouring Dragon Roar!"
In a desperate situation, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and suddenly turned around. Both his hands formed hand seals at the same time, and three thousand strands of energy shot at Chen Gan.
Chen Gan was stunned. "Fusion power?
Interesting! "
"But it's not enough!"
Chen Gan sneered. Following that, the demonic wings on his back unfolded and with a burst of force, layers of black flames were shot out.
Boom!
Rumble!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Qin Shi was instantly plunged into darkness.
"Three Souls Stabilizing the Universe!"
Suddenly, from the chaotic dust and sand, a pillar that was wrapped in a third flame shot out and struck Chen Gan's chest, causing his huge body to tremble. His demonic eyes glared at Qin Shi angrily and said, "Qin Shi, are you trying to trick me?"
He was furious. Earlier, in the darkness, his vision was naturally not as good as Qin Shi's. After all, Qin Shi had the perception of divine sense. However, he flapped his demonic wings and a roaring hurricane rose into the sky. Soon, the haze dissipated.
After the haze dissipated, Qin Shi had nowhere to hide. Chen Gan laughed maniacally and took a few steps forward. His demonic claws slashed down.
Bang!
Qin Shi's black eyes flickered. He clenched his teeth and raised his hand, using all his strength to resist that enormous force. He circulated the fourth layer of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Art, but even so, his body stiffened. Then, like a cannonball, he was sent flying towards the volcano cliff in the distance.
Rumble!
The towering volcano was hit by a huge force, and it suddenly gave off a furious roar. Then, volcanic rocks rolled down like a torrential wave, and half of the volcano was shattered in the middle.
Qin Shi was directly buried in the ruins.
"Haha, kid, you're dead this time!"
Chen Gan stood up proudly. But he didn't stop there. His devil claw reached out towards the red rubble and clenched the air.
"Come out and die!"
Bang!
The rubble exploded and Qin Shi's wretched figure was forcefully dragged out. He then flew uncontrollably towards Chen Gan's hand.
"Get out of my way!"
But a moment later, Chen Gan suddenly changed his mind. He opened his palm again, and a layer of black heat wave violently shattered Qin Shi. Then, a few crisp sounds of bones breaking could be heard from Qin Shi's chest.
Bang!
Qin Shi was fiercely sent flying again.
"No!!!
Stone!!! "Haoyue and the other two were dumbfounded.
This time, Qin Shi was really at his wit's end. He didn't have the trump card that Kong Hyun-hui had mentioned. After using the Pure Land of Bliss, he really didn't have any trump cards left.
If there was one, it would be the tenth layer of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation, the Mysterious Heaven Breaker.
But, he was clear that that martial art, just like the Clay Bodhisattva had said, was not something that he could grasp at the moment. It was also impossible for him to complete it. Even if he gambled with his life, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning.
He gritted his teeth, and the scene in front of him started to fade.
However, Chen Gan had no intention of letting him go. The more Qin Shi was like this, the happier he was. With a wave of his hand, another hundred rays of blood-red light appeared.
"Damn it …!"
Qin Shi clenched his fists and used all his strength to jump on the rubble. He didn't even have the strength to fly anymore and could only rely on his feet to jump between the rubble.
"Eh, you can still run?
Interesting! "
Chen Gan laughed maniacally when he saw Qin Shi's clumsy appearance. Following that, his gaze turned ferocious. "Hmph, where's your arrogance from before?
Where's your majesty from before?
Where did you run off to?
You little bastard! "
Qin Shi frowned and his eyes were burning. No matter what, he was still a hot-blooded man. He was naturally unhappy to be humiliated in front of so many people. However, he gritted his teeth and didn't retaliate. This was because he knew in his heart that those who wanted to achieve great things needed to hide their sharpness. Now was not the time to act on impulse.
However, at this moment, Qin Xue Xin stared coldly at Chen Gan. Her lily-white hands finally started to form seals. She wouldn't allow anyone to humiliate her man. "You're courting death!"
"Little girl, this has nothing to do with you. If it wasn't for the fact that the organization emphasized that you must be kept alive, I would have killed you hundreds of times over for what you've done to me in the beginning," Chen Gan said mockingly.
With his current cultivation, he didn't need to fear Qin Xue Xin anymore. Therefore, his voice became extremely cold as he said, "However, just because I can't kill you doesn't mean that I can't let you taste some pain!"
"Stop talking nonsense!
I'll be your opponent. "
Qin Xue Xin was about to step forward when a ray of golden light suddenly wrapped around her jade-like legs. She frowned slightly and looked at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi forced a smile and shook his head at her.
"Shi Tou …!"
Qin Xue Xin cried out. However, before she could speak, Qin Shi's eyes became very determined. "You have to believe me!"
"I …!"
Qin Xue Xin felt slightly helpless. She understood Qin Shi's personality. If she disobeyed him, he would definitely be angry. However, this was a matter of life and death.
She gritted her teeth and was momentarily at a loss of what to do.
However, while she was at a loss, Chen Gan's eyes suddenly lit up. The more Qin Shi didn't want Qin Xue Xin to get involved, the more he wanted Qin Xue Xin to get involved. This way, he could force Qin Shi into a corner.
"Hehe, little brat, even if you don't want her to get involved, you still have to ask me. I'd like to see what kind of choice you'll make between your life and this woman."
After saying that, Chen Gan opened his demonic arms and a violent aura exploded. It turned into black corrosive chains and pierced through Qin Xue Xin's delicate body.
Qin Xue Xin turned around in shock. The Eagle Calamity also panicked when it saw this scene from afar. Its sharp eyes focused on one point. "Chen Gan, how dare you!"
Swoosh!
However, suddenly, a black robe flashed from the side. Qin Shi had given up on escaping and stood in front of Qin Xue Xin. Before he could react, the layers of chains fell and pierced through his shoulder blade.
A horrifying wound appeared on his chest. Through the bright red blood, one could even see his muscles and bones. All the disciples from the eight regions couldn't bear to see this.
"Shi Tou!" Haoyue and the rest exclaimed.
Qin Xue Xin's jade-like eyes blurred. In an instant, she lunged forward hysterically. When her jade-like hands brushed past Qin Shi's wound, her jade-like eyes suddenly turned eerie. That feeling caused everyone to be startled, and a wave of cold air shot up to the heavens.
Boom!
Suddenly, a cold current rolled and the air within a thousand meters froze. Snowflakes filled the sky, causing everyone to shiver. "What, what kind of power is this?"
"It's so scary …!"
"This power, it's even scarier than Chen Gan's, right?"
Many disciples were shocked. Even the Eagle Calamity frowned. "Damn it, I told him not to provoke Xue Xin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body trembled and he leaped backwards. The fear in his eyes was clear, as if he was afraid of being affected by something.
Qin Shi, who was the closest to Qin Xue Xin, was also slightly shocked. The power around Qin Xue Xin had changed, and it didn't seem like it belonged to her. Most of it seemed to be hidden in her soul force, an extremely strong external power.
That power made him feel conflicted. It was really enough to suppress Chen Gan. It made Chen Gan panic and he shivered. "This girl, why does she have such power?"
However, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. He could feel that although Qin Xue Xin's power was strong, it was very chaotic and fluctuating. If he allowed this power to explode, it would definitely be a big problem.
At the thought of this, Qin Shi suddenly opened his arms and hugged Qin Xue Xin in his arms. At that moment, Qin Xue Xin's icy blue eyes seemed to regain some color. She murmured softly, "Shi, Shi Tou …?"
"Yes, it's me. Be good, don't be rash. Leave this to me, I'll settle it and bring you away from here, alright …!" Qin Shi snorted softly. His heart was filled with heartache for this girl.
"You're no match for him."
"I wasn't just now, but that might not be the case now."
Suddenly, the corners of Qin Shi's lips curled up, revealing an insufferably arrogant smile. However, in that smile, there was a faint trace of unfathomable distress.
Without waiting for Qin Xue Xin to speak, Qin Shi took a deep breath. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Gan's demonic body. The corners of his eyes slowly narrowed.
Chen Gan stared at Qin Shi, who was comforting Qin Xue Xin, and could not help but be startled. Then, he laughed, "Haha, kid, you're really bold. You're willing to throw your life away for a woman."
"She's much more important than my life!"
Qin Shi said indifferently. He spoke in a very casual manner, but no one in the crowd took his words as a joke.
Qin Xue Xin's lily-white hands slightly clenched as a touched expression appeared on her face.
Chen Gan was startled when he heard that. Soon after, he revealed a sinister smile, "Ha, good kid. However, let me tell you, throwing your life away for a moment of heroism is the stupidest thing in this world. If you hadn't stopped that girl, the power in her body might have been able to suppress me. However, her emotions are much calmer now. Moreover, I don't think she can control that power. Without that power, you won't be able to defeat me."
"I don't need that power of hers."
"Oh?"
Chen Gan was stunned for a moment. Soon after, he burst into laughter, "Haha, what a joke. If I don't need that power, are you going to use your own power?"
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders in silence.
However, this time, he had become a laughing stock for Chen Gan, "Interesting. Just you?
Don't tell me you're going to keep running like a rat on the street like before? "
"Run?
There's no need? "
Amidst the mockery, Qin Shi stretched his somewhat ragged body. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the bloody wound on his chest. Suddenly, he lifted his head and grinned.
The shocking thing was that his smile was actually filled with a strange Death Qi.
"Because the one who should be running now is you."
After finishing his sentence, Qin Shi reached out with his hands and quickly brought them together in front of his chest. A strange and mysterious light formation faintly appeared from his dantian.
Immediately after, that light formation seemed to connect with his bones and meridians. Several rays of heaven-merging power shot out and from between his eyebrows, three faint marks appeared.
"A year ago, I said that if I didn't die, the day I returned would be the day the Chaotic Lands would be destroyed!"
