Qin Shi stared at Book Incineration quietly and fell into a daze.
When his palm touched the Book of Burning, the hot-blooded memories poured into his mind like a gushing spring, causing his eyes to brim with tears.
Yes, the Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air was not something he had comprehended in the Sword Pavilion. The reason why he could use it was all thanks to Book Incineration.
As early as half a year ago, he had been attracted by the unique movement technique of the Sword Dao. At that time, he had been frantically trying to cultivate it, but he had been hindered by the lack of secret manuals.
Until one day, when he was bored and flipped through Book Incineration, he suddenly realized that Book Incineration had recorded the Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air that Su Tiao had used at that time.
He thought that Jade In The Book must have sensed something, so he had been imitating it for the past six months. It was not until two months ago that he was lucky enough to discover the secret of the Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air.
With the help of Book Incineration, he was able to use the Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air just now.
Of course, just as the elders had seen, his Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air was not perfect and was very inexperienced. Fortunately, with the help of Book Incineration, he had changed the original Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air into a movement technique that was suitable for his lightning attribute.
In other words, his Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air and Su Tiao's Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air were fundamentally different. Su Tiao's Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air was inherited from the 33rd level of the Sword Pavilion, while his Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air was a movement technique that could be completely integrated with him.
It could even be understood that the Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air that Qin Shi used was equivalent to a self-made martial art. What he used was his own, while what Su Tiao used was learned.
However, no matter how skilled he was, no matter how perfect his cultivation was, what others used was still someone else's. It would never be as easy as using one's own.
This was also why Qin Shi's Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air was faster than Su Tiao's.
This was not because of his original lightning attribute, but because of the nature of the martial art.
He could not help but fall into deep thought.
Back then, demons might have been the foundation for him to reach where he was today, but Jade In The Book was an indispensable character on this path.
He knew very well that without Jade In The Book, he wouldn't be where he was today.
However, what made him sad was that after so many years, Jade In The Book was still sleeping alone, and he still couldn't wake it up.
This caused his eyes to turn red. He clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath. "Sister Yu, don't worry. Soon, soon. I will find the Beast Core of the Domain Realm and wake you up!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
As if sensing Qin Shi's warmth, the Burning Book gave off a slight response, emitting a gentle heat from the outer layer of the ancient book.
"Sister Yu, did you hear me?" Qin Shi shouted excitedly.
However, the burning of the book gradually dimmed.
Qin Shi couldn't help but be disappointed by this, but he immediately became firm.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter. No matter how you learned the Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air, you won't live for long anyway. In this world, the last person to master the Sword Qi Piercing Through the Air will be me. I will personally send you to your grave!" Su Tiao shouted angrily, unaware of Qin Shi's inner thoughts.
Qin Shi came back to his senses and immediately sneered. "Haha, it doesn't matter who sends who to his grave, but you can't point your sword at my brother like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shi's black eyes suddenly turned cold. Immediately, an extremely terrifying heatwave shot out from his fist. The heatwave was extremely dense phoenix power.
"Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique!"
In an instant, he used the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique. Wrapped by the golden phoenix feathers, he rotated his body and grabbed the Devouring Flame Sword with all his strength.
Immediately, he rushed backwards and deftly turned his body while fighting with Su Tiao, coincidentally standing in front of Yun Yan.
"Brat, you want to save him? It's impossible!"
Su Tiao was furious. He took a few steps back and steadied his body. Immediately, he swung the sword and slashed forward.
Boom!
Immediately, there was a loud noise.
Yun Yan's eyes were filled with shock. The power of the sword made him shiver.
In the next second, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes narrowed. Just as the sword fell, not only did Qin Shi not dodge, but he actually raised his arm and used it to block the sword.
Bang!
Immediately, Qin Shi's arm was dyed red with blood.
"Qin Shi!" Yun Yan cried out in surprise.
The crowd was also shocked. Master Lu Shan's old eyes were strange, and he could not help but show some gratitude.
Suddenly, he raised his head. "Qi Qing, is it you who helped me?"
The one who was most surprised was undoubtedly Yun Yan. He could not understand why Qin Shi would do this for him. There was no friendship between him and Qin Shi. It could even be said that Yun Yan had targeted Qin Shi at every turn.
Qin Shi groaned in pain. He seemed to have seen through Yun Yan's doubts. He turned around and casually smiled, "Don't think too much. With my eyesight, there's nothing much to say. As long as we're brothers, I won't watch you get killed. Furthermore, didn't you say that you'd climb a mountain of blades and dive into a sea of flames for me?"
In an instant, Yun Yan's eyes turned red. He looked at Qin Shi emotionally and was speechless for a while. He choked with sobs, but in the end, he could only nod his head desperately. "Yes!"
Qin Shi smiled in satisfaction. Suddenly, he furrowed his brows. The intense pain coming from his wound made him somewhat unable to endure it.
Yun Yan was shocked and hurried forward. "Are you okay?"
Qin Shi shook his head with cold sweat on his forehead. He pushed Yun Yan and said, "I'm fine. Listen to me. Give up first and leave this place."
"Give up?"
Yun Yan was stunned. Then, he shook his head forcefully. "No, I can't leave you here. If we work together, we can definitely beat him!"
Qin Shi shook his head. "No, you don't understand. This is a grudge between us. I don't want outsiders to interfere!"
He then raised his voice. "Quick, quick. Didn't you say that if I tell you to go east, you won't go west? Why don't you listen to me this first time?"
"I …!"
Yun Yan was stunned. He could see the reluctance in his eyes, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded. "I understand."
Finishing, he glared fiercely at Su Tiao before turning around and walking down the stage alone.
Yun Yan himself gave up. Now, only Qin Shi, Su Tiao, and Zhang Linger were left.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere on the stage had reached an unprecedented level of tension. The tense atmosphere rapidly spread throughout the entire arena, even affecting the audience below the stage.
During this process, Qin Shi and Su Tiao stared at each other. Their eyes collided violently, and the air was filled with the flames of war.
However, they had a tacit understanding. Despite this, neither of them made a move. Instead, they kept glancing at Zhang Linger.
Both of them were very afraid of Zhang Linger.
Although Zhang Linger was Zhang Hun's granddaughter, Su Tiao understood the relationship between the two. Zhang Linger would not be merciful to him just because he was Zhang Hun's apprentice.
Suddenly, Zhang Linger's laughter broke the dead silence.
"Hehe, that's interesting. If you two want to fight, then fight. Why are you both looking at me in a daze?
I'm embarrassed. "
"Hehe, the strongest person on the stage, how can we not care about him?" Su Tiao smiled.
Zhang Linger pursed her lips. She didn't seem to have a good impression of Su Tiao. Instead, she looked Qin Shi up and down curiously with her beautiful eyes and burst into laughter. "Interesting. No wonder the organization has been having a headache because of you all these years. You are indeed extraordinary."
Qin Shi frowned slightly. He knew that the organization that Zhang Linger was referring to was the Puppet Group. He laughed out loud. "Is that so?
I don't think I have such great ability, but I have something to say to you. "
"Oh?
What is it? "Zhang Linger asked curiously.
"In this world, evil will never win over good. Don't accidentally go the wrong way and bury yourself." Qin Shi said word by word.
Zhang Linger's eyebrows were slightly knitted together. Immediately, her eyes narrowed slightly. One could see that there was some change in her emotions. However, she quickly withdrew it. Suddenly, she nodded her head and spoke in a thoughtful manner, "Yes, that's true.
Soon after, she suddenly raised her head in a strange manner and flung her shoulder-length hair. She snickered at Qin Shi, "Alright, I'll remember your words. If I have the chance in the future, I'll study it myself."
After a pause, she looked at the two again. "Okay, you two don't have to be so reserved. I won't disturb you. You can solve it yourselves. I will find a place for you."
After saying that, she suddenly jumped out of the ring easily.
Seeing this, the audience was shocked. They did not expect that Zhang Linger would do such a thing.
"She, she withdrew from the competition?"
"F * ck, is it true?"
"Yeah, isn't she ruining her future?
She is expected to win the championship. She just gave up like that? "
The audience rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
Qin Shi and Su Yi were also stunned.
Zhang Linger's strength had already been displayed in the preliminary and semi-finals. She undoubtedly had the qualifications to win the championship. She was even stronger than the two of them. It was enough to make the two of them very afraid.
But now, she actually withdrew from the competition just like that?
Zhang Linger steadied herself below the ring. Shortly after, she suddenly turned around and smiled at the two of them. "You two don't misunderstand. I don't care about the championship of the annual disciple competition. I also don't care about the Sword Tomb Holy Spirit Hall. The reason why I participated in the competition is to let the people of the Sword Sect know that I, Zhang Linger, have returned."
Hearing this, the eyes of the two of them could not help but twitch.
However, the two of them were not the kind of people who would drag their feet. Qin Shi slightly narrowed his eyes. He was a little more afraid of Zhang Linger. Her relaxed and natural attitude made him feel endless fear.
"This little girl is not simple!" This was what he thought in the bottom of his heart.
