"Buzz!"
Half of the sky above the Sword Sect had turned chaotic. Shen Tianyang's energy was extremely evil, and it was like a sharp sword that had been sealed in an abyss. It shot explosively towards Qin Shi's chest as if it was piercing through the clouds and shooting the sun.
Qin Shi was slightly dazed, and his nerves instantly tensed up. He could clearly sense that Shen Tianyang wanted to kill him. In just a short instant, he'd felt a rare sense of danger, and it was as if he'd already taken half a step into the gates of hell.
"This old fellow really doesn't show any mercy."
Bang!
But suddenly, coldness shot out from Fang Qing's almond-shaped eyes, and she lightly shook her fair hand. A golden sword light soared into the sky and suddenly blasted the sharp sword away.
"Third Elder, aren't you being a little too disrespectful by acting like this in front of so many disciples?" Fang Qing berated coldly.
Shen Tianyang frowned. Obviously, he hadn't expected that Fang Qing would directly go against him, but his face immediately turned gloomy because of this. "This kid is arrogant and unruly. He speaks arrogantly and doesn't know etiquette. I'm just teaching him a lesson. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"Teaching him a lesson?"
Yu Yue, Jian Qing, and the others couldn't help but sigh when they heard this. Shen Tianyang's actions earlier were obviously to kill Qin Shi, but now he was just casually saying that he would teach him a lesson. He was really boasting shamelessly.
But due to their status, they could only think about it in their hearts.
At this moment, Fang Qing smiled. "Teaching him a lesson? Then if I talk back to you, are you going to teach me a lesson as well?"
"I …." Shen Tianyang opened his mouth and was speechless for a time.
"Cough, cough!"
Fortunately, at this moment, Zhang Hun coughed from behind and broke the awkward scene. He smiled lightly and said, "Fang Qing, what are you talking about? As seniors, we only hope that all of you will develop in a good direction. This kid really doesn't know the rules. Since you said that Shen Tianyang's method is too extreme, and I'm the Supreme Grand Elder of the Sword Sect, then I'll teach him a lesson. Don't worry, he's a hero of the Sword Sect after all. I won't let anything happen to him."
After saying that, Zhang Hun did not care about Sect Master Fang Qing's position at all. He stretched out his hand and grabbed at Qin Shi. Qin Shi's body suddenly lost control. He felt as if the air around him had been sucked out, and his eyes widened in shock.
He flew towards Zhang Hun uncontrollably, struggling a few times, but he was innocent.
"Zhang Hun!"
Fang Qingyu's eyes were filled with anger. She had never imagined that Zhang Hun would attack Qin Shi so arrogantly. But just as she was about to circulate her Qi and take Qin Shi back from Zhang Hun, a blood Qi suddenly knotted up in her meridians, causing her jade-like face to flush slightly, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fang Qing spat out blood?
That scene really shocked all the disciples.
Just who was it that could injure Fang Qing?
And who was it that caused her to suffer such a serious injury?
Fang Qing's brows were tightly knitted together, and her jade-like hand tightly clutched her lower abdomen. This was the injury that Yao Ming had caused to her outside the God Realm Ceremony.
If it was ordinary Spiritual Energy, even if it was more serious, she was confident that she would be able to recover completely. Only this Spiritual Energy was different, and even with her World Realm power, she could not easily expel it.
Shen Tianyang was also slightly shocked, and his old eyes were filled with joy. "Fang Qing, you're seriously injured?"
But when Fang Qing spat out blood, there was only one person present who had a relaxed expression, as if he had already known that Fang Qing was injured. That person was Zhang Hun, who was at the center of the scene, and held Qin Shi's life in his hands.
He had already seen through Fang Qing's injuries, so he smiled slightly. "Fang Qing, since you're injured, don't try to be brave anymore. I'm doing this for your own good, and I'll share your burden. Leave this kid to me."
With that, the corners of Zhang Hun's lips curled up in a sinister manner, and a sharp blade made of Spiritual Energy floated in the air, directly towards the sky above Qin Shi. But he still kept his promise, and the direction of the blade's attack wasn't towards Qin Shi's vitals, but the place it was aimed at still shocked countless people.
"That's … Dantian?"
Yu Yue and Jian Qing's fists were cold. Although Zhang Hun didn't want to kill Qin Shi, he wanted to destroy Qin Shi. If his Dantian was pierced by that blade, Qin Shi would be completely crippled.
"Zhang Hun!
Don't you dare! "Fang Qing's eyes were bloodshot.
However, Zhang Hun didn't take Fang Qing's threat to heart at all. He stared coldly at Qin Shi and said indifferently, "Kid, you didn't dare to come to the Sword Sect and get involved in this mess. Originally, it had nothing to do with you, but since you're so blind, don't blame me for anything."
He raised his hand, and the sword fell.
Qin Shi's black eyes widened.
From that sharp blade, there was a vague image of a wild dragon. A ferocious black dragon shot out, and fiercely bit towards Qin Shi's Dantian.
Swoosh!
Bang!
A ghostly figure suddenly appeared without anyone noticing. The old Taoist Feng Sha bent his waist, and the walking stick in his hand struck the air forcefully, causing the space in front of him to suddenly crack, and it rapidly spread out like a spider web.
Boom!
Zhang Hun's attack completely collapsed under the cracks, and only then did Qin Shi break free from the trapped beast. The black dragon was like a green snake under a stick, struggling and twisting its body a few times, and then tumbling down to the square.
All the disciples were stunned. All of this happened too quickly. Immediately, the disciples under the shadow of the black dragon wailed and hurriedly scattered in all directions. Some of the Elders in the Domain Realm looked at each other and hurriedly leaped up together. They connected each other and formed a solid barrier. Only then did the ground not get destroyed.
Otherwise, Qin Shi thought, even if the square was made of solid crystal, it would have been smashed into a hundred-meter-deep sinkhole.
Seeing the old Taoist Feng Sha, Zhang Hun's eyes clearly flashed with fierceness. "Old man, I didn't expect you to make a move too."
"Why, is it that surprising that I made a move?
Don't forget, I'm also a member of the Sword Sect. How can I not attend such a grand occasion? "
The old Taoist Feng Sha's tone was full of mockery. "Zhang Hun, it's been a few hundred years, but I didn't expect you to still be so promising. Can't you have some ambition to compete with a disciple who just joined the sect?"
Zhang Hun's expression suddenly changed, and he bared his teeth. But immediately, he calmed down and smiled. "Haha, the pot calling the kettle black. Didn't you also disappear for thousands of years?
What right do you have to criticize me here? At least I'm still thinking for the Sword Sect, and you'll see my ambition sooner or later. "
The old Taoist Feng Sha shrugged. "Then I look forward to it."
The two of them were in a deadlock for a full quarter of an hour before Zhang Hun nodded vigorously. "Good, good, good. Then you just wait and see. Don't cry when the time comes."
Fang Qing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Qin Shi was fine. Then, she adjusted the chaotic aura in her body. This time, she firmly protected Qin Shi behind her, and cast a grateful look at the old Taoist Feng Sha. "Uncle Feng, thank you for coming forward."
The old Taoist Feng Sha waved his hand indifferently. "Since I promised you, I'll definitely come forward. Besides, he's Qi Qing's choice. I'll make sure he doesn't die."
After that, he looked at Qin Shi as his voice became much more solemn. "Little Fellow, you entered the Sword Sect because of me. Perhaps you can still make it if you want to withdraw from it now. Even though I don't have much ability, I'll definitely be able to guarantee your safety. If you continue staying in the Sword Sect, then the things you might have to face next will definitely be extremely difficult."
After being stunned for a full half a second, Qin Shi suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. "Senior, do you think that even if I don't stay in the Sword Sect, my path will be smooth sailing?"
The old Taoist Feng Sha was stunned, and then he suddenly shook his head in realization. Indeed, even if Qin Shi left the Sword Sect, the Chaotic Lands wouldn't let him go so easily.
Therefore, Qin Shi shrugged indifferently. "I still hope to stay in the Sword Sect and make you bleed a lot. I want to use the Sword Sect to make the Chaotic Lands pay the price, so I think the Sword Sect is really a good place for me. I'll just stay here obediently."
Qin Shi's words caused the old Taoist Feng Sha and Fang Qing to feel surprised. A glint immediately flashed across the old Taoist Feng Sha's eyes as he repeatedly said the word 'good' three times in admiration, "Good, good, good. Little brat, you did not disappoint me!
Don't worry, I'll fulfill my promise. As long as you stay in the Sword Sect, I won't let any harm come to you. No one! "
Feng Sha's words were not concealed at all, echoing throughout the entire square.
This made the corners of Zhang Hun's mouth twitch a few times. Wasn't the old Taoist Feng Sha's words meant for the three of them?
He nodded. "Haha, okay, okay. You want to protect this kid, right?
Then I'll give you face. I'll pretend that nothing happened when he talked back to me. "
Many disciples breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Was Zhang Hun going to compromise?
However, Fang Qing, Feng Sha, Qin Shi, and Yuyue Jianqing didn't relax for even half a day. Fang Qing said coldly, "It's not that simple."
As expected, Zhang Hun suddenly waved his hand and laughed wildly at Fang Qing. "Fang Qing, it's true that you're the Sect Leader now, and your words carry enough weight. However, the Sword Sect has always attached great importance to the disciples who are in seclusion. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to convince everyone if it's just you, right?
"Don't you think so?"
With that, Zhang Hun directed his words to the million disciples of the Sword Sect. Many of the disciples pondered for a moment when they heard this. Previously, they were shocked by the game between Fang Qing and the three Supreme Elders. Now that they suddenly recovered, they began to discuss it one by one.
"Indeed, although this kid has such achievements at his age and is indeed a rare talent in the world, the Nine Heavens Realm … If he wants to become a disciple of the Sword Sect with this kind of strength, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to convince everyone, right?"
Causing controversy among the disciples, Zhang Hun revealed a sly smile. This was the effect he wanted. Fang Qing couldn't help but feel disdainful. "This cunning old man!"
In the midst of the controversy, Zhang Hun's finger slightly bent without anyone noticing and shot a golden light towards the disciples below. A disciple grabbed the golden light and was slightly stunned. Then, he raised his head and saw Zhang Hun's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly nodded.
Suddenly, he took a step forward and stood out from the million disciples.
