"Qin Shi!!!"
Qin Shi's action was so sudden that even Zhang Hun did not have time to react before Takeda stopped breathing. His arrogance had completely infuriated Zhang Hun.
"How dare you violate the rules of the Clan again in front of the Clan Rules Altar?"
"Why not?
Killing one is just a trip to the altar. Killing two isn't much. It's better to get rid of the trouble before that. "Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders in disapproval.
Qin Shi's unrepentant attitude made the veins on Zhang Hun's forehead bulge.
"You're courting death!"
Waving his hand, Zhang Hun made a grabbing motion towards Qin Shi.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion in the sky, but before Zhang Hun's power could touch Qin Shi, a whirlwind of sand and stones rolled up a thousand feet high, forming a golden barrier in front of Qin Shi, forcibly dispersing Zhang Hun's illusory power.
"Old dog!
You want to hurt him? You haven't asked if I allow it! "The one who attacked was undoubtedly Feng Sha. Yu Yue, Haoyue and the others had also arrived at the scene.
Staring at the sealed Clan Rules Altar, Yu Yue and the others sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Can he really come out of that place alive?" Yu Yue snorted doubtfully.
The altar gave off the feeling that it was a tunnel leading to the Netherworld.
"Feng Sha!!!"
The air around Zhang Hun shattered as he roared angrily.
However, just as the two were about to fight, the Sky Destroyer suddenly rose into the air, startling both of them and they retreated at the same time.
"Fang Qing, what is the meaning of this?
Are you trying to protect this kid? "Zhang Hun stared at Fang Qing.
Fang Qing's expression was still indifferent, her lily-white hand controlling the Sky Destroyer faintly said, "The right and wrong of a disciple in seclusion will naturally be decided by the Clan Rules Altar. I don't think it's Elder Zhang's turn to interfere."
"You …!"
Zhang Hun clenched his fists and said the word 'good' three times in a row, "Good, good, good kid, let's see how long you can run rampant. If you have the ability, walk out of the Clan Rules Altar alive!"
Qin Shi smiled faintly, "Haha, rest assured Elder Zhang, I have also prepared for this. After all, the Clan Rules Altar is not indestructible, right?
Elder Zhang Hun? "
"Hmm?"
Zhang Hun's eyes flashed with vigilance as he stared at Qin Shi.
"Does he know something?" Suddenly, Zhang Hun became uneasy.
He didn't respond to Qin Shi's words. Qin Shi had already expected him to act like this. The reason why he said that just now was because he wanted to test the waters.
"It seems that Haoyue is right. There is indeed something fishy about this Zhang Hun."
In his heart, Qin Shi's conflict with Zhang Hun increased a little. If he was really the one who activated the Sect Protecting Sword Formation three thousand years ago, then he might be hiding some other scheme.
"Kid, there's no use in talking. If you have the ability, then break this altar of rules for us to see."
Zhang Hun's killing intent towards Qin Shi also increased. He would not allow anyone to know about what had happened three thousand years ago, so even if he had to kill a thousand innocents, he would not let a single one go.
With that, he flipped his palm and bent his fingers slightly. The 18 swords that sealed the altar of rules were pulled out from the ground.
Clang!
When the Sword Formation was activated, the square shook along with it. It was only because Fang Qing used his inner energy to control the surrounding aura in time that many of his disciples were spared the pain of being affected.
With the sword array broken, the Devouring Flame Sword flew back into Zhang Hun's hand, and the Altar of Sect Rules appeared in front of everyone. Everyone immediately shifted their gaze to Qin Shi.
"It's not too late for him to leave the sect now."
"Yes, with his relationship with the Sect Master, if he chooses to leave the sect, the Sect Master probably won't make things difficult for him and will even give him a decent way out. Once he really enters the punishment of the Sect Rules Altar, there's really no turning back."
While everyone was guessing, Feng Sha asked, "Kid, are you ready?"
Staring at the altar and the chaotic space in the shape of a cross sword, Qin Shi's eyes finally turned serious. He could feel that this space might be the biggest trouble he had ever encountered.
The coldness in his heart was something he hadn't felt even when he was surrounded by the three protectors in the Chaotic Lands.
But he also knew that he had no way out now. He had to walk out of the Altar of Sect Rules Altar to stabilize his position in the Sword Sect.
"Yes!"
Qin Shi controlled his emotions and calmed himself down. Then, he smiled at Feng Sha and nodded.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he gave Zhang Hun the middle finger and walked towards the Altar of Sect Rules Altar with his head held high.
"Is, is he really going?"
"Gulp … This kid doesn't care about his life. Entering the Altar of Sect Rules Altar, his life will end here."
Many disciples shook their heads in pity. In fact, after Qin Shi killed Mu Yu, Qin Shi's position in their hearts had increased.
Zhang Hun's eyes turned cold and he sneered, "Kid, I can let you be arrogant now, but when you enter the Altar of Sect Rules and feel the Killing Punishment, let's see if you can still be so calm then!"
At the mention of this, his heart was filled with lingering fear and resentment.
"Senior Brother, do you think he can still enter the Killing Punishment?
Aren't you overestimating him too much?
He's in the Nine Heavens Realm. I don't think he can survive the sword energy punishment on the altar's ninety-nine steps, "Shen Tianyang sneered from the side.
Hum!
Just as Shen Tianyang expected, Qin Shi's body suddenly sank the moment he stepped onto the steps of the altar. A thousand strands of powerful Sword Qi appeared on the steps of the altar and shot out in all directions.
Bang, bang, bang!
Qin Shi hurriedly panicked. Relying on the power of lightning, he managed to dodge a few sword lights consecutively.
He then squinted at the thousand strands of sword energy. "As expected of the Altar of Sect Rules Altar. Is the punishment already starting now?"
With his previous experience, Qin Shi realized that the Altar of Sect Rules didn't only have the void of the sword-shaped cross in the center. The punishment started from every step, so he was very careful.
He discovered that with every step he climbed, the violent sword Qi would increase by a bit. His black robe would make a whistling sound, especially when he reached the last few steps. His black robe was almost torn to shreds, and there were even a few bloody cuts on his cheeks.
"This kid, he can't even make it through the altar, can he?" Seeing Qin Shi swaying in the air, the disciples' hearts were in their throats.
"I've underestimated the Altar of Sect Rules."
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes slightly as the powerful sword energy swept towards him.
Even though he had already placed the Altar of Sect Rules in a very high position, he hadn't expected it to be so terrifying. No wonder no one in the Sword Faction's history had been able to walk out alive.
Just the 99 Sword Qi Arrays alone would probably be impossible to make it through without a cultivation base of the Domain Realm.
There were only a dozen steps left, but his body had reached its limit. There were hundreds of small cuts on his body from the sword energy, and his bodily functions were constantly declining. He had no choice but to clench his fists.
"Meteorite Tyrant Body Technique!
The first level!
Body Tempering! "
Suddenly, he spread his arms, and a layer of golden phoenix feathers grew on his skin. Following that, the sword energy hit his body, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard.
"Is that a body-tempering martial art?"
"Is that the power of the True Phoenix?"
Many disciples were slightly dazed when they saw Qin Shi's actions.
If it was just an ordinary body-tempering martial art, it might not attract much attention in the Sword Faction. However, many disciples could actually sense some phoenix power from Qin Shi's golden body?
That would be extraordinary.
"This kid!" Zhang Hun widened his eyes. It should be known that even they were afraid of the phoenix power.
In the Beast World, the True Dragon, Luan, and Phoenix were divine creatures.
With the protection of the golden phoenix feathers, Qin Shi immediately felt the pressure on him decrease, and he went up another three steps. However, when he wanted to go further, he was unable to do so.
"Meteorite Tyrant Body Technique, the second level!
Tendons Tempering! "
Just as the sword energy increased, he suddenly shouted again, and then his veins bulged. The tendons of the Water Dragon were connected to his muscles, and he took another three steps.
It was the last four levels. Qin Shi could feel that the pressure here was 100 times more than the pressure below. Not to mention the Initial Domain Realm, even if one was at the Mastery Domain Realm, the slightest flaw in their body would probably cause them to be instantly annihilated by the Sword Qi.
This sword energy was too terrifying.
"The 99 Sword Qi Array was created by the Sword Faction's Sect Masters with spiritual power, and the Sword of Punishment, which is ranked eighth among the Sword Faction's 18 Protective Swords, is the array's core. The sword energy inside is not something that ordinary people can block." Fang Qing pinched the corner of her dress.
Feng Sha's eyes also became heavy.
To be honest, this was really a gamble. He was not sure that Qin Shi could walk out of the Altar of Rules.
"Little guy, don't let us down."
"Is this the last four levels?"
Qin Shi panted heavily. The first ninety-five levels had practically exhausted all of his energy. At this moment, his muscles were trembling.
Moreover, if there were only three levels left, he might be confident that he could pass. After all, he had not used the third level of the Meteorite Tyrant Body Technique, Bone Refinement.
What he was worried about was the 99th level.
"Meteorite Tyrant Body Technique!
Third level!
Bone Refinement! "
Teng, teng, teng!
As he had expected, after using the Bone Refining Technique, he once again advanced three levels in a row, but this also put him in a difficult position.
"Only the last level is left!"
"However, this level has gathered all the Sword Qi from the first ninety-eight steps. He has also used the three essential elements of the bone tempering martial arts: the skin, tendons, and bones. This last level is not going to be easy for him!"
Looking at the last level, Qin Shi felt helpless. Just as the disciples had discussed, although the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique had five levels, the last two levels weren't used to refine the body. Instead, they were used to strengthen one's sea of consciousness and soul.
"Is that the only move I can use?"
However, when the Meteorite Tyrant Body Technique was used up, would Qin Shi really have no other body refining techniques?
Obviously, that was impossible.
Suddenly, he closed his eyes, and his left and right hands changed at the same time. However, the hand seals he made were completely different. One was gentle like a green lotus, while the other was chaotic like a dark star.
Seeing the two strange hand seals, many disciples were slightly shocked. "What, what move is this?
Does he have another move? "
Even Zhang Hun and Shen Tianyang frowned.
"What trick is this kid playing?"
"Uncle Feng, look at Qin Shi's movements. Don't they look like the two martial arts from the Chaotic Realm?" Fang Qing hesitated and suddenly asked Feng Sha.
