Qi Qing smiled coquettishly. Then, she walked forward and rubbed Qin Shi's back with her jade-like hands. Without saying anything else, she wanted to take Qin Shi away from the lighthouse.
Qin Shi didn't know what was going on. He nodded in a daze and followed her.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out. A sturdy stone wall rose from the ground on the thirty-sixth floor of the lighthouse, blocking their path.
Qi Qing frowned slightly when she saw this. She turned around and said to the young man in the middle, "Boss, what's the meaning of this?"
The young man smiled faintly. He slowly walked forward. It could be seen that all the phantoms were exceptionally respectful to him.
It wasn't hard for Qin Shi to sense a familiar aura from the man. That aura was the purest form of sword qi. "This power is the same as the sword qi in the golem's body?"
"Yes. If I'm not wrong, this kid should be the founder of the Sword Faction," said the demon.
"He's the founder of the Sword Faction?"
Although he had expected it, Qin Shi still couldn't help but feel a little shocked when the demon pointed it out.
The man seemed very scholarly. He said softly, "Little sister, isn't what you're doing a little against the rules?"
As the man finished speaking, the two old men beside him also smiled, "That's right. The inheritance of the Holy Spirit Hall has always been based on the number of floors that the disciples have passed through, with the disciples being able to choose for themselves. What's the meaning of this?"
"You're taking such a good disciple away just like that?"
Qi Qing curled her lips and said unhappily, "So what?
This brat is someone I value, so he should be mine. "
"That won't do. If you say he's someone you value, then I'll say he's someone I value. He's a disciple of the Sword Faction anyway."
None of the thirty-six phantoms were willing to back down.
In the end, they even directly took action. The thirty-six phantoms directly walked forward, pulling, threatening, and tempting Qin Shi.
"Kid, let me tell you. I'm the founder of the Sword Faction. If you can inherit my legacy, I'll teach you how to use the true power of sword qi."
"Little guy, don't listen to him. Whether shoes look good or not, the most important thing is whether they fit. I see that you're of the lightning attribute. My Lightning Sword Technique is also something the Sword Faction has looked down upon for years. If you choose me, our attributes will be the same, and the power will definitely multiply."
"I'm not of the lightning attribute, but I have the fastest sword technique and movement technique in the Sword Faction. I see that you've also cultivated my Sword Piercing Space. If you choose me, I'll help you improve it a little. I guarantee that you'll be able to do a lot of changes."
As Qin Shi listened to Ling Lang's various Martial Techniques, any one of these Martial Technique inheritances would be world-shaking. He felt somewhat dazzled as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
Suddenly, an intense pain came from Qin Shi's chest. Qi Qing shouted in the Sword Faction's spirit, "Kid, don't be charmed by them. You heartless little thing. If it wasn't for me, you might not even be able to enter the Sword Faction. Let me tell you, don't make me scold you for being ungrateful."
Only then did Qin Shi wake up. He rubbed his chest and said unhappily, "Hey, it hurts!"
"Hmph, you still know pain?
I thought you were going to fall into these gentle places. "
Qin Shi smacked his lips awkwardly and said, "Actually, Senior, you should think about it. I've already grasped the Traceless Sword Blood, and you still want me to do great things for you. Shouldn't I choose something else that's more suitable for me?
Only then can I increase my strength. "
"Scram! Stop digging a hole for me."
The situation was getting more and more chaotic. In the end, Qin Shi was starting to get a headache.
Suddenly, a sly light flashed in his eyes. He coughed a few times and interrupted the phantoms that kept pulling him. He smiled slyly and said, "Ahem, I say, everyone, we can't go on like this. I'm just a little disciple, and you are all famous historical figures in the human world. The Sword Faction's success today is filled with your glorious achievements. I don't dare to make a decision so easily. If I choose someone, I'll offend the other thirty-five people. If you ask me, why don't we be fair?"
Hearing this, the thirty-six phantoms fell silent.
Qi Qing shouted, "Kid, what kind of tricks are you playing now?"
"Aiya, Senior, just watch." Qin Shi kept the Sword Faction's spirit in his arms.
The Sword Faction's creator smiled with interest. "Fair?
Kid, tell me, I'll see how you can be fair. "
"Look, we're from the same family, but you guys are shedding all pretense of cordiality for me. I'm a little embarrassed. We're from the same root, so why are you torturing each other so quickly?
If you ask me, don't you all want to pass on the legacy to me?
That's fine. You guys go and have a competition. I'll choose whoever is stronger, right? I won't be biased. "Qin Shi chuckled.
Hearing that, the thirty-six illusory figures couldn't help but be stunned. The man in the lead was so angered by Qin Shi that he laughed, "Haha, you little brat, you're quite interesting. We went through the annual disciple competition to select the successor, and now you're using the same method to test us?"
Qin Shi laughed dryly. "Hehe, I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm forced by the situation."
The man rolled his eyes at Qin Shi in annoyance.
The other thirty-five people looked at each other. Suddenly, someone laughed and said, "Hehe, interesting. This kid's method is not bad. We've been here for almost ten thousand years, but we've never had a competition. Why don't we decide who's the winner today?"
"Are you kidding?
Who can defeat the Sword Soul? "
Someone pointed at the founder of the Sword Faction.
For the first time, Qin Shi learned that the founder of the Sword Faction was called the Sword Soul.
However, Qin Shi seemed to have ignited the flames in their hearts. Of the thirty-six phantoms present, which one of them was not an overlord in the past?
Once their fighting spirit rose, it was difficult to control.
"Just give it a try. There's nothing to lose."
"That's right. Let me see how powerful the source of sword qi is." Many phantoms were eager to try.
The Sword Soul could not help but laugh bitterly. He glared at Qin Shi. "You little brat, you're only happy when you make us old guys lose face, right?"
"Hehe, of course not. I'm just curious. If I tell others that I've seen the thirty-six sect leaders of the Sword Faction fight, how proud would I be?"
Qin Shi was full of flattery.
The Sword Soul rolled his eyes and said to the others, "Alright, this little brat is so curious. Let's not be stingy. How about this, let's not fight. This Guardian Lighthouse won't be able to handle it. Let's each take one move and stop."
"That's fine. Anyway, it's just to exercise."
"Then everyone, don't be so reserved. You guys are too polite. I'll start first."
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, the Sword Soul interrupted. He took a step forward and waved his sleeve. A light sphere barrier rose from the center of the lighthouse.
"This, this is the Sect Protecting Formation?"
It was a simple action, but it immediately alarmed Qin Shi. The light sphere looked ordinary, but Qin Shi could clearly feel the same power as the Sword Faction's Sect Protecting Formation in the center.
Seeing Qin Shi's shocked expression, the Sword Soul smiled faintly. "Little brat, how is it?
Do you admire me?
If you want to change your mind and choose me, it's not too late. "
"Hey, Sword Soul, you're being a little shameless." Many phantoms shouted angrily.
Qin Shi laughed dryly. "Hehe, Senior Sword Soul's ability has indeed shocked me. But I'd like to see the other seniors' abilities."
"Haha, you're sensible."
The Sword Soul couldn't help but smile bitterly. "You brat."
Then, he turned around and said, "Then, everyone, let's show off our abilities here. Don't destroy the Guardian Lighthouse because of our small actions."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
One of them spoke. It was the master of the Thunder Leopard on the second floor. According to Qin Shi's deduction, he should be the 35th Sect Master of the Sword Faction.
"Thunder Cutting Blade!"
He opened up the formation and stomped his foot. A bolt of lightning shot out a thousand meters.
The speed of the lightning made even Qin Shi's eyes turn cold. "Fast, so fast!"
The speed of the lightning was beyond his reach.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the other thirty-five people also showed their abilities.
There was the power of flames covering a mountain, the power of the Void Cutting Blade, and even those who stood on the spot could feel the ferocious sharpness of their swords.
A total of thirty-six martial arts gathered in the center of the formation.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The formation was enough to protect the Sword Faction for ten thousand years. However, under the power of the Thirty-six Paths of Reincarnation, the formation buzzed and trembled violently.
The Sword Soul's eyes turned cold. "Oh no, the barrier is going to break!"
As the Sword Soul spoke, the other thirty-five people also revealed slightly panicked expressions. Qi Qing was the one who reacted the fastest. She rushed forward and flicked the sword light with her fingers, firmly fixing the barrier from all directions.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and protect the barrier!"
Qi Qing shouted. Only then did everyone react. They looked at each other and hurriedly worked together to protect the barrier.
However, they were still one step too late.
"Buzz!"
"Rumble!"
Before they could act, a violent explosion rang out, directly shattering the ground. Everyone was shocked. Qi Qing's eyes turned cold as she used her jade-like hands to protect Qin Shi.
"Rumble!"
The violent explosion lasted for the time it took for half an incense stick to burn. When the explosion gradually dissipated, the thirty-sixth floor of the lighthouse was already in ruins.
When Qin Shi opened his eyes from Qi Qing's embrace, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"This, this is too exaggerated."
He could clearly remember that no matter how strong the martial arts he had used, whether it was the Nine Dragons Submerging Abyss, the Land of Bliss, or even the Traceless Sword Blood, none of them had caused any damage to the lighthouse. From this, it could be seen how sturdy the lighthouse was.
However, the thirty-six people's joint attack not only destroyed the barrier that had protected the Sword Faction for ten thousand years, but also almost blew the lighthouse into dust.
The Sword Soul coughed a few times. His shadow faded a lot. He looked around and saw that the lighthouse was still there. He heaved a sigh of relief. "Phew, that was close. Fortunately, the lighthouse is fine."
"Brat, it's all your stupid idea." Qi Qing curled her lips and said.
Qin Shi cried in his heart but didn't dare to say anything.
This was not a small matter.
Fortunately, it seemed that the Sword Soul didn't intend to blame him. He only said, "Brat, it seems that the thirty-six of us can't decide the winner. What do you think?"
Qin Shi was stunned. It was indeed difficult to say who was stronger in this situation. Because of this, he thought for a moment and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He said, "Why don't we do this?
Since you are all very strong, there is no need to compete. Why don't I choose all of you? "
Hearing this, the thirty-six people were stunned.
