Breaking through the sandstorm, Qin Shi closed in on Daoist Ghost. He had just blocked Daoist Ghost's attack, causing the area between his thumb and forefinger to shatter. However, this did not affect his determination to kill Brother Knife.
Seeing Qin Shi acting like a madman, Brother Knife panicked. He scrambled to his feet and retreated with all his might.
"Don't, don't come any closer!"
"Trying to run?
It's too late. You must die today! "Qin Shi's black eyes were so cold that it could freeze into ice. A series of shadows flashed across the sky.
"Kid, aren't you being too arrogant?!"
Daoist Ghost furrowed his brows in the sky. He was obviously angered by Qin Shi's actions. With a wave of his withered hand, the sky behind him instantly shattered, turning into a fiery red hole. Boiling lava continuously dripped down from the hole. When the lava landed on the ground, the ancient trees on the ground instantly withered and were set ablaze.
Amidst the lava, a rock the size of a small hill suddenly fell from the sky, heading straight for Qin Shi's forehead.
Everyone was shocked at this scene. The sky was dyed red. Huo Dao subconsciously shouted, "Little friend, get out of the way!"
Everyone thought to themselves. Under such circumstances, Qin Shi would definitely give up on attacking and dodge the burning meteorite.
Brother Knife also let out a long sigh of relief. He thought that he would be fine. His face turned into a disdainful smile as he looked at Qin Shi.
Unexpectedly, seeing that the meteorite was about to hit Qin Shi, he gritted his teeth. Not only did he not dodge, he actually increased his speed. Facing the meteorite, he did not even have the intention to retaliate. His Traceless Sword was unmoving, pointing straight at Brother Knife's chest.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the meteorite exploded from Qin Shi's body.
Rumble!
More than a hundred explosions were heard. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a black figure charged out of the sea of flames. That black figure was Qin Shi. His black robe was still burning, and his entire body was covered in burn wounds. His face was pale, and it could be seen that the meteor had caused him to suffer extremely heavy injuries.
However, even though he was heavily injured, Qin Shi's speed did not slow down at all. Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he dashed in front of Brother Knife.
Puff!
With a muffled sound, hot blood splattered onto Qin Shi's face. The Traceless Sword pierced through Brother Knife's chest and pierced through it.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and even Daoist Ghost Shadow's face sank. Who could have imagined that for the sake of killing Brother Saber, Qin Shi actually didn't hesitate to use his body to block that ferocious meteor from before?
"Is, is he crazy?"
"Madman … this madman!"
The disciples of the Chaotic Lands instinctively stepped back, looking at Qin Shi with fear in their eyes.
Brother Knife's eyes widened in pain and disbelief as he stared at Qin Shi.
At this moment, he and Qin Shi were only separated by an inch. He could clearly feel that his chest was spurting out blood and his life was rapidly draining away. He stared fixedly at Qin Shi and asked, "Wh … Why?!"
Qin Shi whispered in his ear, "Who do you think you can touch Wu Ning?"
Brother Knife's eyes widened as if he suddenly understood something. However, before he could speak, Qin Shi exerted force in his palm and pulled out the Traceless Sword. A purple lightning dragon shot out from his palm and crushed Brother Knife's heart.
Boom!
Brother Knife's body was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
After confirming that Brother Saber's life force had completely disappeared, Qin Shi finally relaxed. In an instant, his expression changed drastically and a sweet taste filled his throat. A mouthful of blood that he had been suppressing for a long time was suddenly spat out.
He felt as if his Xuan had been broken. If not for the Traceless Sword's support, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Young friend!" Huo Dao shouted.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
All of a sudden, an extremely intense buzzing sound came from the sky. Two completely different forces came crashing down from the left and right sides.
"Young man, you're courting death!"
Daoist Ghost's face turned green. Even though he did not know Brother Knife well, he could not bear to see Qin Shi kill Brother Knife in front of him.
His face was burning as if someone had slapped him. His eyes turned cold. "Hmph, I didn't want to kill you at first, but since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me. I'll skip the next step and send you to hell right now!"
Suddenly, he raised his withered hand and slammed it down on Qin Shi.
Huo Dao shouted in a daze, "Young friend!"
The disciples of the Chaotic Regions stared at him, their eyes full of mockery. They were certain that Qin Shi was dead. Given Qin Shi's current state, he could not block that attack.
Feeling the pressure from above, Qin Shi struggled to raise his head and stared at Daoist Ghost. He watched the giant hand fall, but he did not even have the strength to steady himself. He swayed, as if he was about to fall.
Suddenly, he sneered disdainfully. Using the last bit of his strength, he pointed his middle finger at Daoist Ghost and said, "Heh, heh heh, you can't kill me!"
"You don't know what's good for you!"
Daoist Ghost's eyes turned cold. Qin Shi's actions had completely infuriated him. His shadow flickered, and his palm pushed forward at full speed. The sky broke, and the ground was smashed by the wind from his palm, creating a huge pit.
Bang!
In the moment of imminent danger, Qin Shi's chest flickered with a golden light, and a graceful figure leaped out. Her jade-like hands stirred the cool breeze, and suddenly, a golden light blocked the huge hand of the ghostly figure from below.
Then, the figure grabbed Qin Shi with resentment and said, "I was really unlucky in my previous life. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have agreed!"
"Hehe!
But you agreed, didn't you? "
Qin Shi forced a smile at Donkey Ruhua. He recalled the voice transmission he had with Donkey Ruhua when they were facing the burning meteorite.
"If anything happens to me later, you won't ignore me, right?"
"That's hard to say!"
"What if I say that I'll help you get the Purple Jade Beast Trapping Pearl if I have the chance?"
"Really?"
"A gentleman's word!"
"That's a deal!"
It was also because of Donkey Ruhua's guarantee that Qin Shi dared to use his body to block Daoist Ghost's attack. Otherwise, although he was confident that he could survive the meteorite with his body supported by the Sweet Pouring Raindrops Array, he had no confidence that he could escape Daoist Ghost's wrath.
Even though Qin Shi still didn't know Donkey Ruhua's cultivation and ranking on the Divine Beast Ranking, he had witnessed the scene of Donkey Ruhua making a few dozen beasts at the initial stage of the Domain Realm submit to him with a flip of his hand in the Beast Dimension.
He thought that even if Donkey Ruhua couldn't defeat Daoist Ghost, it shouldn't be a problem for him to escape from Daoist Ghost's pursuit.
It would have been better if Qin Shi hadn't mentioned it. The moment he did, Donkey Ruhua became even more furious and shouted, "Hmph, don't forget your promise to me. If I don't see the Purple Jade Beast Trapping Pearl, I won't need this old man. I'll kill you!"
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"This old man is not simple. If his cultivation level is only at the Greater Domain Realm, there's nothing to fear. However, his Soul Power is at the Curse Realm. Even I'm not confident that I can defeat him. I can guarantee that I can bring you out of here."
"That's enough!" Qin Shi didn't expect Donkey Ruhua to kill Daoist Ghost.
"However, you risked your life just now. Even if I can bring you out of here alive, you won't be able to recover in 15 days."
"You don't have to worry about that!"
Donkey Ruhua shook her head helplessly. "Forget it, I can't be bothered with you. You have to hold on to me!
I'll bring you out of here first! "
After saying that, Donkey Ruhua tapped the ground with her jade-like feet and leaped into the sky at an extremely fast speed. With a wave of her jade-like hand, Huo Dao was also sucked into a golden void.
"Trying to escape?"
Daoist Ghost narrowed his murky old eyes and clenched his fist at Donkey Ruhua. Dozens of fire pillars shot out from the ground.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Whoosh!
Donkey Ruhua was extremely agile and quickly weaved through the fire pillars.
"Hmph, old man, do you think you can catch me?
How naive! "
The fire pillars missed, causing Daoist Ghost to frown. However, in an instant, he flipped his palm and sent out a Sanskrit seal. As he sent out the seal, a burning fist of fire pierced through Donkey Ruhua's back.
Donkey Ruhua's eyes widened. The fist of fire was extremely huge, at least thousands of zhang wide. It was obviously impossible for her to dodge it. She had no choice but to turn around and suddenly open her mouth. A golden light pillar shot out and destroyed the fist of fire.
Rumble!
Fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Hold on to me!" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Donkey Ruhua turned around and streaked across the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Huo Dao felt his vision blur as he spun around at high speed.
Of course, Qin Shi didn't care. He could travel at almost the same speed when he used his full speed. Suddenly, his black eyes focused on the ruins below and a figure with a dull gaze.
He hesitated for a moment and said forcefully, "Bring him along as well!"
Donkey Ruhua was stunned. Only then did she notice that it was the Old King from the Forbidden Zone. She was displeased and scolded, "I really owed you in my previous life!"
However, despite her scolding, she still stopped for a moment. The golden void wrapped around the Old King, then she turned into a golden light and disappeared into the sky.
Everything happened in an instant.
When the fireworks fell and the sky turned blue again, the contestants in the Chaotic Realms came to their senses. However, Qin Shi and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Even Huo Dao frowned. His eyes were filled with greed as he stared at the place where Donkey Ruhua had disappeared. He said in surprise, "A ferocious beast on the Divine List?"
Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, things have become much more interesting now!"
Then, he glanced at the contestants in the Chaotic Realms. His eyes were full of disdain, as if he was looking at a group of ants. His figure flickered. He didn't chase after Qin Shi. Instead, he turned around and leaped towards the place where Huo Dao had pointed out where the Trapping Beast Cage was sealed.
…
In the distance, in an extremely dark cave.
There was a faint golden light at the entrance of the cave. It wasn't until the Ghost Shadow Taoist's aura completely disappeared that the golden light gradually faded away.
Among them, there were four figures in a sorry state. Qin Shi had fallen into Donkey Ruhua's arms.
Pfft!
He spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though he had narrowly escaped death, his expression kept changing.
