"Hmm?"
The voice came too suddenly. Fu Gu turned around in a panic, only to see Qin Shi in a black robe looking at him with a mocking smile. Fu Gu was stunned. "You, you, how is this possible?"
When the disciples below saw this scene, they stood up again with looks of disbelief on their faces.
The place that was destroyed was still covered in dust. How did this brat appear here again?
This, this is too strange, isn't it?
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, Fu Gu turned around and looked at the dust in fear. The black figure was still lying in the ruins, but it had already become very faint. In the end, it slowly dissipated under everyone's gaze.
"That, that's an illusion?"
"Bullshit, what illusion? Didn't you see it?
Fu Gu used his hand to grab him, it should be a clone! "
"Isn't that clone a little too realistic?
Also, when did he do it? "The disciples were all stunned. Even Zhang Hun and the other two old fellows frowned in the sky.
Suddenly, Feng Sha laughed. His laughter was very rough, and he shook his head helplessly. "Good, good, that brat."
"Uncle Feng, do you understand?" Fang Qing asked curiously. Even she, who was at the World Realm, did not understand.
Feng Sha stroked his beard and nodded. "Yes, from the very beginning, this brat did not show his true appearance."
"Hmm?"
Fang Qing was shocked. "You're saying that the one who talked to us at the beginning was his clone?"
With that, she immediately shook her head. "That's impossible. His words and actions just now, including his communication with Zhang Hun and the other two, were all very lifelike. Furthermore, I can feel a real life force flowing from his body. How could it be a clone?"
Hearing this, Feng Sha nodded. Even he did not expect this at the beginning. But now that he thought it through, everything was clear. "I should have expected it. That brat is so cunning, how could he not be on guard at all?"
"He did it on purpose. If I'm not wrong, he should have created a clone long before he came to the hall, and then hid his real body in a corner. The reason why even you and I didn't notice him earlier is because the clone he created is different from ordinary clones. It truly possesses life."
Feng Sha recalled the various extraordinary abilities that Qin Shi had displayed in the Chaotic Realm. He smiled. "Because that clone was created with soul force."
"Soul force?"
Fang Qing was startled, and she suddenly came to a realization. Indeed, if one wanted to deceive the heavens in front of her, then perhaps only Soul Strength could be used, right?
No matter how high her attainments in spiritual energy were, she was still not a Talisman Demon Master. Her perception of soul force was far from Qin Shi's.
This was also the reason why no one noticed it.
"Soul force?"
Zhang Hun also understood at this moment. His eyes flashed as he looked at Qin Shi. "Haha, that brat is much more powerful than I imagined."
Stretching his body, Qin Shi looked at the dumbfounded Fu Gu and suddenly laughed. "I've been arrogant for so long. Shouldn't you give me a chance to perform now?"
"Oh?"
Fu Gu abruptly turned around and his eyes paled.
A seal appeared in Qin Shi's palm. Shortly after, he slightly bent his fingers and shot at Fu Gu's chest. "Don't forget that I'm the main character today."
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Immediately, a loud explosion sounded. The three thousand golden śarīras all struck Fu Gu's chest.
Fu Gu's ferocious gaze turned sinister. The indescribable pain in his eyes was extremely obvious. However, a Domain Realm was still a Domain Realm. After the three thousand golden beams, he only took a hundred steps back and wasn't sent flying like Qin Shi had imagined.
Qin Shi knitted his brows. "A Domain Realm is indeed not easy to deal with."
Stabilizing his body, Fu Gu was thoroughly enraged. He bared his fangs at Qin Shi. "Brat, I didn't expect you to be a Talisman Demon Master."
Qin Shi shrugged. "If I didn't have some ability, why would I need to borrow your strength to suppress the crowd?"
Many disciples were slightly shocked when they heard that. Their opinions of Qin Shi had also changed. After all, a Nine Heavens Realm was nothing to be afraid of, but a Nine Incantations Talisman Demon Master was highly regarded by many in the eight regions.
"This brat does have some ability. I've underestimated him. Looks like he might have some achievements in the God Realm."
"Yes, but even if he's a Talisman Demon Master, he doesn't have much hope of defeating Fu Gu, right?"
"I don't know. If he loses, I'm afraid that he won't be able to keep his secluded disciple. Zhang Hun and the other two Grand Elders are already full of objections to him. If he loses, they won't allow it. I'm afraid that even the Sect Master won't be able to do anything."
Amidst the stalemate, Fu Gu suddenly moved. He stepped forward, his hand like an eagle's claw. The space in front of him shattered and a pitch-black sword appeared in his hand.
"That's … the 13th sword of the 18 Protector Swords, the Black Dragon Sword?"
"Hiss …"
"I didn't expect the Black Dragon Sword to be in his hands."
Many disciples revealed looks of envy. This was something that even Fang Qing and Feng Sha did not expect. Feng Sha's eyes turned vicious and he sneered. "Hmph, Zhang Hun, you really think highly of this brat?"
Zhang Hun caressed his long beard indifferently. "Fu Gu was born with divine strength. I do have the intention of letting him inherit my legacy."
The old Taoist Feng Sha snorted in disdain, his old hand clenched into a fist.
The group of disciples also sighed, feeling pity for Qin Shi.
"The Black Dragon Sword is the peak of Spirit Weapons. Even an ordinary High Rank Spirit Weapon would shatter in an instant. Fu Gu's strength is above Qin Shi's. Now that he has the Black Dragon Sword, he's like a fish in water. I'm afraid that Qin Shi is going to lose."
"Brat, I'll kill you!"
Fu Gu howled. Then, he floated in the air, and the clouds around him seemed to be corroded by evil qi, turning into rolling black clouds. Then, he raised the Black Dragon Sword, and on both sides of the blade, there were faint black waves of light that seemed to be filled with the roar of a dragon.
"Brat!"
Feng Sha narrowed his eyes. With his thousands of years of experience in the Sword Sect, he was very familiar with Fu Gu's movements. Wasn't that the Black Dragon Sword's Spirit Weapon martial art?
Evil Dragon Slash?
That martial art was extremely famous in the Sword Sect, and it could almost be compared to the Reincarnation martial art. In the past, there had been several conflicts between the Sword Sect and the True Dragon Clan in the Beast Realm. A disciple of the Sword Sect had used the Vile Dragon Beheading Technique to behead a Vile Dragon at the phenomenal Domain Realm.
"So terrifying …!"
The disciples exclaimed, their eyes filled with fear. "If this huge slash falls, I'm afraid that even a Domain Realm Expert would not be able to withstand it, right?"
Seeing that the heaven-splitting, earth-shattering attack was about to descend on Qin Shi, all the disciples' hearts tightened. Zhang Hun's eyes flickered with joy. He was already certain that Qin Shi would die.
"Big Brother, if he dies, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to Fang Qing, right?" Shen Tianyang asked hesitantly.
Zhang Hun shook his head indifferently. "If she wasn't injured, I might hesitate. But now that she's seriously injured, even with Old Ghost Feng Sha by her side, we don't have to be afraid of anything."
"You saw this kid just now. His methods are ruthless. He's definitely not a kind person. Although he's not enough to make us fear him now, I'm sure that he's a tiger cub. If he's allowed to grow, even we will be in danger," Zhang Hun said solemnly. This caused the other two to be slightly shocked.
However, thinking back to Qin Shi's actions since he appeared, and according to the rumors and the fact that he was the champion of the God Realm Ceremony, Zhang Hun's deduction was not impossible.
"This kid must be eliminated!" Shen Tianyang said coldly.
In imminent danger, everyone was solemn. Feng Sha's old eyes narrowed. He shook the walking stick in his hand, and the space around him slightly dispersed. Immediately, his Taoist robe billowed, and he was about to stand up.
But suddenly, Zhang Hun's old eyes changed. The space in front of him rippled, and his body suddenly moved a hundred meters. He appeared in front of Feng Sha in a single step, and a layer of light fell from his withered hand, as if he wanted to control the universe.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Feng Sha's attack was completely dispersed. Immediately, his whole body trembled, and he was directly blocked by Zhang Hun.
"Haha, old man, why do you need to interfere in a fight between juniors?
Wouldn't it be beneath your status if word of this got out? "Zhang Hun smiled faintly.
"Zhang Hun!" Feng Sha's old eyes were filled with killing intent.
He had promised Qin Shi that he would definitely protect Qin Shi's life. Seeing that the slash was about to fall, his heart was burning with agitation.
Pa!
But suddenly, a jade-like hand pulled him back. Fang Qing stepped forward from behind. Her steps were light, and there was a confident smile on her lips. She shook her head at Feng Sha.
Feng Sha was stunned, but Fang Qing didn't give him a chance to ask. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Hun, saying, "Grand Elder's words are reasonable. As elders, we shouldn't interfere in a fight between juniors."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Hun was surprised. He had thought that Fang Qing would also make a move. Who would have thought that she would be so relaxed?
"The Sect Master is indeed the Sect Master. Your knowledge is indeed different."
Zhang Hun sneered. Then he quickly retreated and returned to Shen Tianyang and Feng Sha's side. His old eyes were no longer as relaxed as before.
"What exactly is wrong?"
Zhang Hun closed his eyes in deep thought, but he couldn't figure out what made Fang Qing so calm.
After Zhang Hun left, Feng Sha looked at Fang Qing in panic, "Qing 'er!"
"Uncle Feng, don't panic. Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe in Master?
Have you forgotten that he has Master's inheritance? "
"Qi Qing's inheritance?"
Feng Sha frowned. This time, he seemed to have come to a realization. Then, he suddenly raised his eyes and saw that the following scene in the sky was shocking.
The slash that seemed to be able to split the heavens and earth fell just like that. It immediately caused a wild wave in the Sword Sect, causing the entire square to tremble.
A group of a thousand elders joined hands and barely managed to block the slash, preventing the square from being destroyed.
But the aftermath of the slash created a fierce gale.
