Qin Shi landed on the arena and tightened his black robe. He had a strange expression on his face.
He had just briefly checked Yu Yue's injuries. The meridians in her limbs were broken, and the brutality of her methods infuriated him.
"Group 13, begin!"
The Law Enforcement Elder gave the order.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Almost 100,000 disciples in the arena attacked at the same time. Each of them bared their fangs, and every move they made was filled with dazzling Myriad Path Martial Arts.
In an instant, the arena shook violently, and the ground started to crack.
The lower the group, the more powerful they were. There were almost 1,000 Domain Realm disciples in Group 13, and more than 100 of them had reached the Middle-stage Domain Realm.
This kind of battle was extremely terrifying.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Explosions rang out continuously.
However, there was an area that seemed out of place in this kind of battle. All the martial arts seemed to be deliberately avoiding it.
That region was the region where Qin Shi was located.
Qin Shi was at ease because no one dared to provoke him. He leaned against the Boundary Array of the arena and closed his eyes gently as if he was resting.
At this moment, a few disciples seemed to have noticed that Qin Shi was closing his eyes. They suddenly moved forward from behind Qin Shi and surrounded Qin Shi.
"Big Brother, can we do it?" The disciples asked uncertainly.
The leader of the disciples also had sweat on his forehead. He wiped it gently and gritted his teeth. "It should be fine. No matter how powerful he is, we have the Concealment Technique. As long as he doesn't open his eyes, he won't be able to detect our auras. Moreover, we are all at the Middle-stage Domain Realm. Let's go around him from behind and unleash our full strength at the same time. Even a perfected Domain Realm expert would find it difficult to resist our combined strength, let alone a brat who hasn't even reached the Domain Realm."
When they heard the analysis of the disciple in the lead, the other disciples glanced at each other, and they seemed to feel much more at ease. At this moment, one of them said, "Right, Big Brother is right. Risk comes with risk. Even if we're noticed, we'll at most be eliminated. But if we're really able to defeat him, then we'll be famous in the Sword Sect in the future."
It was obvious that the disciples were tempted when they heard the latter part. Greed flashed in their eyes and they nodded at the same time. "Alright, let's do it. What if we really succeed?"
"Alright, let's get closer. When I give the order to attack, we'll attack at the same time. Remember to use all your strength, understand?"
"Got it!"
They said with certainty.
"Go!"
The leading disciple called out softly before leading the other disciples to approach Qin Shi stealthily.
The few of them were like a huge net, surrounding Qin Shi from all directions.
Many disciples on the combat arena stopped when they saw their actions, and they looked over with curious gazes.
The spectators below the combat arena revealed excited expressions as well, but they weren't surprised by this. After all, Qin Shi and Su Tiao were the seeded participants of the competition, and it was practically certain that one of them would be the final victor. Earlier, Su Tiao from the 7th group hadn't fought since the beginning, and this caused countless people to be unable to help but feel disappointed. Now that they had a chance to see Qin Shi fight, how could they not be excited?
"There's going to be a good show."
"Do you think that Qin Shi will notice?"
"He definitely will, right?
No matter what, he's a disciple that's in closed door cultivation. He can't be defeated just like that, right?
Then there really isn't much to see in the Inner Disciple Competition this time. "
"But I don't think so. All of you seem simple, but you're actually fellows with status."
"What status?"
"You don't know, do you?"
A disciple raised the corners of his mouth and pointed at the leading disciple that surrounded Qin Shi. "That kid is called Blood Eye. He usually keeps a low profile in the sect, but he's actually one of Su Tiao's most powerful generals. He's in charge of Su Tiao's secret group alone. Not long ago, Su Tiao deliberately collected a skill called the Concealment Art from the black market in Eagle City for them. That skill is very magical, and it can completely conceal one's aura. Even a consummate Domain Realm expert might not be able to detect it if they don't look carefully."
"Really?
Is there such a magical thing? "
"Of course. Otherwise, do you think they're fools?
Why would they dare to provoke Qin Shi when they don't have any backing? "
"That's true. If that's the case, it's really possible."
"Of course, the disciples behind Blood Eye are also disciples of Su Tiao's secret group. All of them are very good at concealment. Although Qin Shi is surrounded by halos now, he's still too young after all. The frivolity of youth is still too strong in him. He's obviously deliberately teasing everyone by closing his eyes to rest. If he doesn't know how to hide his edge, no matter how talented he is, he'll eventually die. I heard that he's only in his twenties this year. Whether it's experience or actual combat, he's too far behind."
Many disciples continued to discuss.
In the elder seating area, some elders also expressed doubts about Qin Shi.
After all, his opponents were seven or eight people at the middle Domain Realm. Even many people at the consummate Domain Realm would not dare to say that they could easily win against such a level of confrontation.
At this moment, a detail that no one present noticed flashed by. In the arena, Qin Shi's black robe was gently swept up by the cold wind. At this moment, his eyelids twitched slightly.
"Attack!!!"
At this moment, Blood Eye and the others had arrived at the best place.
Blood Eye suddenly shouted and immediately shot up. He immediately opened his palms and a Raging Thunder Flame turned into a long spear at his fingertips. He shouted wildly, "Brat, go to hell!"
Immediately, the long spear pierced towards the space between Qin Shi's eyebrows.
Then, the disciples behind Blood Eye all shot into the sky like sharp swords. Then, without hesitation, they displayed their most powerful martial arts. "Ah ah ah!
Brat, go to hell! "
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
For a moment, the strong force caused the world to tremble.
The wind and clouds surged.
In an instant, everyone held their breath and the disciples present became very nervous.
It could almost be said that this time, it directly affected the direction of Group 13.
"What will the result be?"
"I don't know. Gulp …!"
In just a few breaths, the time was too short. There was no time for everyone to think at all. Immediately, there was a deafening explosion.
Rumble!
Boom!
The earth violently trembled and seven to eight martial arts all fell. Without exception, all of them landed on Qin Shi's body. Immediately, the ground he stood on trembled and directly exploded into pieces.
Bang!
After the explosion, there was another ear-piercing explosion.
Rumble!
Loud noises resounded without end. At this moment, everyone widened their eyes and revealed expressions of disbelief.
"What, what's going on?" Everyone sobbed, their eyes were filled with shock.
One could see that when the smoke on the arena scattered, the black robe was still gently fluttering in the cold wind. Qin Shi stood on the same spot without the slightest injury. Golden-colored lines lingered around his body. Each line was like a golden-colored tower.
"How, how is this possible?" When they saw Qin Shi's appearance, Blood Eye and the others all widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Gulp, this, this is impossible. You should not have been on guard. How, how is this possible?" Blood Eye shrieked.
Not even the rocks under Qin Shi's feet were damaged. He suddenly revealed a strange smile, "Do you really think that you can sneak an attack on me?"
After saying that, Qin Shi clenched his hand in the air.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
As he bent his fingers, the entire arena shook. The tens of thousands of disciples subconsciously took a few steps back and looked down in astonishment.
There seemed to be a thin layer of a silk-like Soul Web on the arena. In an instant, the entire arena seemed to be covered by a thin membrane.
When Blood Eye saw the Soul Spider Web, his pupils shrank and he was speechless, "You, you, you've been observing the arena with your Soul Force since the beginning?"
Qin Shi shrugged noncommittally. "Of course."
Blood Eye's heart sank. He already knew that his opportunity had been exposed from the beginning. He thought that he was sneaking an attack on Qin Shi, but little did he know that Qin Shi had played him at his own game.
What he didn't dare to think about was that since Qin Shi already knew that he was going to sneak an attack on him, he definitely wouldn't sit still and wait for his death. What he would have to face next was Qin Shi's extraordinary fury.
As expected!
At this moment, Qin Shi gently raised his hand and clenched his fist at Blood Eye, who was still in the air.
Boom!
Blood Eye glared and a shocking suction force instantly pulled him towards Qin Shi. Qin Shi grabbed his throat, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
"It's over!"
Qin Shi coldly snorted. Soon after, his arm violently jerked.
Boom!
In an instant, a violent flow shot out and crackling sounds came from all the bones in Blood Eye's body. In an instant, all the spirit force in Blood Eye's body had been destroyed by Qin Shi.
At the same time, Blood Eye's token shattered.
Blood Eye's figure disappeared from the arena.
Everything happened too fast, and the whole audience was filled with disbelief.
"Gulp … What, what terrifying strength." At this moment, everyone's hair stood on end. Their opinions of Qin Shi had changed.
"Is, is he really only at the Heaven Fate Stage?"
Countless disciples shook their heads. The arena had ended, and no one dared to provoke Qin Shi again.
Half an hour later, the thirteenth group finally fell. Without a doubt, Qin Shi had made it to the next round.
When the boundary around the arena disappeared, Qin Shi's lips curled into a smile as he looked towards the spectator stand. His gaze locked onto Su Tiao.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time before Qin Shi let out a cold laugh.
"Su Tiao, I'm back."
Su Tiao's eyes darkened and he clenched his fists tightly. He had to admit that Qin Shi's clean and efficient attack had left a lingering fear in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, kid, I didn't expect you to have the guts to come back. But I'll definitely make you regret coming back. I won't let you go. Let's put an end to the feud between us."
