"You, you …!"
Zi Lingsha was angered by this peddler to the point that her jade face turned red. She clenched her fists tightly. Qin Shi thought that if it wasn't for the geographical influence of the Fantasy City, Zi Lingsha would have definitely used this peddler to test her poison.
Qin Shi hurriedly stopped Zi Lingsha and sized up this peddler. This peddler's excuse was indeed quite helpless. Anyone could see that this sword manual was clearly placed under the corner of the table because no one was interested in it. In the end, this peddler could actually say that it was a family heirloom.
"Qin Shi, let's go. What sword manual are you talking about?" Zi Lingsha pulled Qin Shi and was about to leave.
Seeing this, the peddler was not in a hurry. He slowly shook his head and smiled. "See, aren't you showing off again?"
"You … you …!" Zi Lingsha's face turned red.
"Alright."
Qin Shi said helplessly. Then, he stared at the peddler and said, "If you don't want to die, you'd better shut up."
The peddler shrugged, completely unaffected by Qin Shi's threat. "This is the Fantasy City. How dare you kill me?"
"Sigh."
Qin Shi let out a long sigh. It seemed that the Fantasy City had become a tumor between the three territories. Since this had nothing to do with him, he didn't want to be a busybody. He said to the peddler, "Three hundred low-grade Mysterious Crystals. If you are willing to sell it, I will take it. If not, then forget it."
"Three hundred?
Qin Shi, are you crazy? "
Zi Lingsha was so angry that she was trembling. She pushed Qin Shi and said, "Three hundred. How many sword manuals can you buy? Why do you feel bad about it?"
Qin Shi didn't say anything and waited for the peddler to respond.
The peddler tilted his head and hesitated. He could see Qin Shi's determination. In fact, it was not that Qin Shi was reluctant, but he had less than 400 Xuan Crystals with him. The rest of the Xuan Crystals had to provide for his and Zi Lingsha's living expenses. He couldn't ask the girl to spend money on a trip, could he?
Therefore, he could only afford 300.
Helpless, the peddler nodded his head and said, "Alright, alright. How unlucky. I thought that I would be able to scam a big one, but it turns out that he's just a pauper."
"What did you say?" Qin Shi asked.
"Ah?"
The peddler covered his mouth and realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly laughed dryly and said, "Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing. What I meant was, little brother, you've earned big this time. My family's sword manual is an absolute art."
As he spoke, the peddler pulled out the sword manual from under the table.
"Alright, cut the crap."
Qin Shi snatched the sword manual from the peddler, threw him 300 Lower Grade Xuan Crystals, and then pulled Zi Lingsha out of the shop.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, he'd just walked out of the shop and turned around when a beautiful figure wrapped in a black bamboo hat walked towards him, and her shoulder collided with Qin Shi's. This caused Qin Shi to be unable to help but be shocked in his heart, and he turned around to look.
"What are you looking at?" Zi Lingsha patted Qin Shi's shoulder and asked curiously.
Qin Shi stared at the girl who was walking toward the end of the street, and a hint of surprise flashed through his black eyes.
"What's going on?"
He asked in his heart. With his perception and body movements over the years, not to mention a living person, even a fallen leaf in the jungle could not touch him. How could he bump into her?
Moreover, his Psyche Power had always been three meters around him. He would immediately sense any fluctuations within these three meters, just like his skin, flesh, and blood. But just now, he dared to conclude that he did not sense that beautiful figure's aura or existence at all.
"How could such a weird thing happen?"
He could not figure it out.
The evil spirit said, "I guess he was distracted just now. That's normal."
Puzzled, Qin Shi nodded. That was the only possibility.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Zi Lingsha's jade-like eyes glanced at the beautiful figure and her eyebrows slightly knitted together.
"What's wrong?" Qin Shi was stunned.
Zi Lingsha shook her head and squinted. "I think I've seen this figure somewhere before."
"You've seen it before?"
"I don't know. Anyway, it's quite familiar. Alas, maybe I saw it wrong. Let's go."
Zi Lingsha rubbed her eyes and then suddenly glared at Qin Shi. She said grumpily, "Okay, I know. You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"Huh?
What on purpose? "
"Humph, you want to distract me and make me forget what just happened, don't you?
Let me tell you, there's no way. Are you an idiot?
Three hundred low-grade Mystic Crystals is enough to build a glorious city in the Hundred Tide Area. How could you use it to buy such a stupid book? "
Qin Shi was embarrassed. "Uh …"
"Humph, forget it. I don't care about you. Anyway, it's not my Mystic Crystals."
It can be seen that Zi Lingsha is really angry this time. She puffed up her cheeks and quickly walked in front, arriving at a hotel in the Fantasy City.
The hotel was not big, and Qin Shi followed closely behind. The two of them each booked the most ordinary room to rest.
"Goodbye. Don't look for me tonight. I won't talk to you."
Bang!
Then, there was a heavy slam of the door. Qin Shi couldn't help but helplessly scratch his head and let out a long sigh.
Being left at the door, he couldn't just stand there like a fool. Qin Shi went back to his room and closed the door. Then he sat on the bed with his legs crossed and bent over to study the sword manual that he had just bought with three hundred Mystic Crystals.
However, he flipped it around and didn't notice anything special from it. Instead, it was just as Ziling Sha said, the sword moves recorded in this sword manual were the most ordinary sword moves, and they didn't even reach the entry threshold of the Sword Sect.
"It shouldn't be."
Qin Shi couldn't help but frown.
"Did I make a mistake somewhere?
What was the resonance just now? "Qin Shi was not convinced. He studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
He was a little annoyed.
"Buzz!"
At this time, he sensed danger through his Divine Consciousness.
He immediately opened his black eyes and put away the sword manual in his hand. His body suddenly flashed to the side.
Swoosh!
In the next second, a soundless silver needle pierced through the window and shot out from where Qin Shi had just been sitting cross-legged, fiercely piercing the stone wall of the guest room.
Qin Shi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Wasn't the silver needle pierced between his eyebrows?
"Who wants to kill me?"
Qin Shi cursed inwardly. Soon after, his black eyes turned and a black shadow passed by the window.
He stood up, pushed open the window and chased after it.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The black shadow's pace was extremely fast and its movement was mysterious. It shuttled through the clouds and mist. How could its speed be equal to that of Qin Shi?
Qin Shi couldn't help but frown. His speed had always been his pride. He didn't expect that he would be at a disadvantage today.
Along the way, Qin Shi chased directly out of the Fantasy City. Only then did the black shadow stop in the forest. Then he turned around and flicked his fingers at Qin Shi.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
It was the same Yin Evil Silver Needles as before.
Qin Shi clenched his teeth and took out an ordinary Spiritual Sword. He flicked the three silver needles away.
Shui Wuhen was broken. Now he was equipped with the Sword Master's Spiritual Sword. Fang Qing intended to pass him one of the Eighteen Sect-Protecting Swords, but Qin Shi refused.
Mainly, Qin Shi was embarrassed. Fang Qing tried hard to recommend him as an elder, but he refused. It was unreasonable for him to take the Sect-Protecting Sword.
After flicking the silver needles away, Qin Shi said, "Who are you?
Why do you want to kill me? "
"Haha, kid, not bad. No wonder even Lin Leng failed. You've actually grown to such a level in just a few years?" The black shadow suddenly laughed evilly.
Upon hearing that voice, Qin Shi's black eyes suddenly widened. That voice was extremely familiar to him, so familiar that it was engraved into his bones and heart. He would never forget that person who had given him endless humiliation on the Burning Sky Mountain Range back then.
"Zhen Yuan?
It's you? "
Qin Shi's eyes immediately turned red.
"Hehe, kid, your memory isn't bad." The black shadow laughed coldly and took off the mask covering his face with one hand.
When he saw that sinister appearance, Qin Shi's heart beat wildly a few times.
Zhen Yuan was the first Group Ma demon he had come into contact with. Everything seemed to have started because of him. He and Luan Muhua had teamed up and played him for so many years.
Towards Zhen Yuan, Qin Shi had an immense hatred, and this hatred had nothing to do with Team Pi.
"Hehe, little thing, you're really unlucky to meet me here. Don't blame me. Last time, I lost the Banishing Jade and was punished by the organization. Today, I'll make you pay for it. I heard that the Yakushi is with you?
Leave it behind as well. "Zhen Yuan's smile became ferocious.
Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. He waved his hand and placed the spiritual sword at his side. He said coldly, "Zhen Yuan, do you think it's still eight years ago?
Do you think I'll be at your mercy?
The one who will pay the price today is you. "
Suddenly, Qin Shi's surroundings trembled violently. The air was pushed away by his aura. His body overflowed with an extremely dense power. His soul and spiritual energy were all released in an instant.
This time, he wanted to kill Zhen Yuan.
Feeling Qin Shi's powerful strength, Zhen Yuan couldn't help being stunned. However, he didn't panic because of this. Instead, he mocked, "Greater Mastery of the Curse Domain Realm, Lesser Mastery of the Curse Domain Realm?
Hehe, little fellow, your progress in the past few years is indeed astonishing. But do you think that you can escape from me just like that?
Naive. "
Buzz! Buzz!
Zhen Yuan suddenly spread open his arms. His robe was swept up by the violent wind, flickering with a blood-red light under the moonlight. The blood-red cloud pattern was extremely dazzling.
Then, Qin Shi's black eyes widened. A rustling sound came from the forest and a violent current pounced towards him.
"This power, is it Half-step World Realm?"
Qin Shi exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
He clearly remembered that the last time he saw Zhen Yuan in the Nightless City, Zhen Yuan was only at the Seventh Level of the Heaven Realm. It had only been three years, so how could he leap to the Half-step World Realm?
"Hehe, little fellow, you're not the only one who has grown in the past few years. Do you think that our Ma Squad will be as idiotic as you and rely on constant cultivation?
Haha, you'll never be able to catch up to the Heaven Shrouding Demon Exalt's secret technique, "sneered Zhen Yuan.
"Heaven Shrouding Demon Exalt's secret technique?" Qin Shi's eyelids violently twitched.
