"Then how did you manage to escape?"
Qin Shi was suddenly excited. If this little guy could break free from the Dream Control Technique, it meant that the Dream Control Technique could be broken.
The little guy was very cute, full of the innocence of a child. He thought for a moment and said, "Hmm … actually, actually, I don't remember. Originally, after I was controlled, I relied on stealing things from the market every day to survive. But one day, I don't know why, but I suddenly fell into this deep pit. At that time, I was very confused and even fainted. Really, it was very uncomfortable. But when I woke up, I realized that I had been controlled before."
"It was because you fell in here?" Qin Shi frowned and became interested in this space again.
Unexpectedly, the demon suddenly said, "Little guy, stay alert and be careful of this kid. There's something wrong with him."
"Hmm?" Qin Shi was stunned and instinctively wanted to turn around.
"Don't move!"
The demon shouted. "Pretend that you don't know anything and continue to observe this cave. Listen to me slowly."
Qin Shi's body stiffened, and only then did he put on an act.
"That kid isn't human."
"What?" Hearing this huge piece of information, Qin Shi's black eyes flashed with shock.
"I can feel an extremely strong killing intent from his body. He should be an existence at or above the Outer Group Demon Arrow."
The demon paused for a moment and continued, "However, he didn't lie to you. There is indeed a power in this cave that can break through the Dream Control Technique. It seems to be a type of Essence Qi from underground. If I'm not wrong, the Dream Control Technique of the Serene Court is also using this power as a medium."
"Anyway, beat him at his own game. Don't startle him just yet. If anything happens, I will help you."
Hearing this, Qin Shi nodded and decided to ignore the little kid. He looked around the cave and used his spiritual energy to probe the surroundings. He wanted to find the Essence Qi from underground that the demon was talking about.
Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock. He saw that behind the shelves of food, there was an extremely small hole. The hole was inconspicuous, but occasionally, a glowing blue liquid would flow out from it and drip onto the food collected by the child.
Qin Shi took the opportunity to step forward and gently caught the liquid with his hand.
"That's it!" the evil spirit said with certainty.
Qin Shi rejoiced. Shortly after, he retrieved the crystal left behind by the explosion of the Holy Serene Court Water and gently fused it with the blue liquid.
"Buzz!"
Sure enough, when the crystal came into contact with the liquid, the hard layer around it instantly melted.
When the hard layer melted, Qin Shi's eyes lit up with ecstasy. Then, what was revealed in his palm was the Dream Control Source.
Qin Shi saw with his own eyes that the Dream Control Source was slowly purified by the liquid.
"Have you finally found a way to break it?" This made Qin Shi ecstatic.
Then, his black eyes turned cold. He could clearly feel an icy-cold aura rapidly approaching him from behind.
With his back to the young man, his lips suddenly curled into a sneer as he said confidently, "I knew that there would never be a thief like you in the human world."
With that, he turned around and clenched his fist in the air.
Bang!
The young man was holding a bayonet and stabbing it straight at Qin Shi's chest.
The bayonet was filled with a thick killing intent.
Boom!
As Qin Shi clenched his fist, a shockingly huge fist appeared in the empty space. The fist struck the young man's face and sent him flying a hundred meters away. He violently collided with the dilapidated rock wall.
"Dark Group, stop pretending," Qin Shi said.
The young man crawled up from the ground in panic after being sent flying by Qin Shi. He glared at Qin Shi and said, "Kid, you knew my identity from the start?"
Qin Shi shrugged noncommittally.
"Then why did you come with me?"
The Dark Group member's face turned hideous. He no longer looked as immature as before. Instead, he looked disgusting.
"If I didn't beat you at your own game, how would I have found a way to break your despicable methods?" Qin Shi snorted.
"Hmph, do you think you can change the Serene Court Hall just because you found a way?
What a joke. The Eight Regions have all tacitly agreed not to interfere. You're just a kid who's still wet behind the ears, yet you insist on making trouble for yourself. But that's fine too. I heard that Yakushi is also in your hands?
You can stay here today. "As soon as the young man finished speaking, a black beam of light shot out from his body.
Boom!
In front of Qin Shi's eyes, the originally adorable young man's body instantly swelled up. His skin was torn apart by the killing intent, and in the end, he turned into a ferocious beast that was nearly a hundred meters tall.
Qin Shi felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart as he stared at the disgusting demonic beast. He sneered and said, "No matter how much your Dark Group pretends, you can't hide that disgusting smell."
"Kid, don't waste your breath here. I'll tear you apart alive today!"
The ferocious demon stood up. Its enormous body directly pressed against the hanging beam, causing the entire stone cavern to tremble violently. The surrounding stone slabs crumbled as a giant demonic claw grabbed at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. His body flickered several times before he managed to put some distance between him and the ferocious demon.
"Great Desolate Desert Technique!"
"Hmph, insignificant tricks. A mere eighth rank cultivation technique. To think that you have the nerve to bring it out in public." The ferocious demon laughed mockingly when it saw the barren runes forming in the sky.
However, Qin Shi didn't think much of it. The corners of his mouth curled up in a confident smile. "Eighth rank cultivation technique?
Is that really the case? "
"Hmm?" The ferocious demon was stunned. Then, its demonic eyes widened.
"Great Relic Technique!"
Qin Shi's other hand moved extremely quickly. A spiritual imprint filled with an ancient aura was ignited by him. At the center of the runes was a large golden "Brahman" character. Eventually, it absorbed the aura and gathered it into a cyclone, forming a golden core.
When the golden core appeared, it immediately split into millions of strands. In the end, the golden cores and the barren runes fused together.
"Devouring Heavens – Dragon's Roar!"
Three thousand runes, three thousand golden cores, gathered once again. Spiritual Energy and soul force fused together. Seeing this scene, the ferocious demon slightly frowned. However, he didn't show too much surprise. His expression became more solemn and his aura was no longer frivolous. He looked at Qin Shi with a serious expression. "Brat, I already knew that your soul force is extraordinary and that you can fuse together. I have to say that this ability is extremely terrifying even in the ancient times. Other than that Clay Bodhisattva, I have never heard of anyone with this ability. However, do you think that since I know about it, I won't have any countermeasures?"
As he finished speaking, a small piece of flesh protruded from the ferocious demon's shoulder blade. It actually turned into a thousand feet long demonic wing. The demonic wing was so big that it was difficult for the cave to contain it. It could only be folded in half. However, the two ends of the demonic wing were filled with black fog. Everything that was covered by the black fog seemed to have disappeared from this world.
Qin Shi frowned. He wasn't unfamiliar with this power. "The power to shroud the heavens?"
"Hehe, brat, I've heard that even Lin Leng of the inner group suffered a loss in your hands. However, don't be too happy. With the power to shroud the heavens, do you think that you can be my opponent?" The ferocious demon said arrogantly.
Hearing this, Qin Shi was stunned. He couldn't help bitterly smiling in his heart. This ferocious demon clearly didn't understand him.
"Brat, leave the power to me." The ferocious demon said.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shi suddenly shook his head and smiled mockingly. "No need. Since he doesn't know of your existence, then there's no need to reveal your trump card. This kind of matter isn't difficult for me."
"Brat, the power to shroud the heavens is not a joke." The ferocious demon said solemnly.
Qin Shi nodded. "I understand that. If it really is the power to shroud the heavens or one of the three souls and seven spirits, I'm afraid that I won't stand a chance. However, the power to shroud the heavens is merely a copy. With my current strength, I should be able to break it. If I still can't break it, you can still make it in time."
The ferocious demon hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, but you have to be careful."
"You don't have to worry about that. I won't joke around with my life."
Qin Shi replied. Shortly after, he focused his attention and the power to shroud the heavens gushed out from the ferocious demon's wings. Very quickly, it completely shrouded the three thousand dragon balls. The power to shroud the heavens was like a black cloud that covered the heavens and earth. Everywhere it passed, no one could sense its existence.
Seeing that the three thousand dragon balls had been destroyed, the ferocious demon laughed wildly. "Haha, hahaha, brat, what's so amazing about the fusion of Spiritual Energy and Soul Force?
It was broken so easily. "
"Is that so?
I don't think so. "Unexpectedly, even though the dragon balls had been destroyed, Qin Shi's expression was extremely natural.
On the other hand, Qin Shi's natural reaction made the ferocious demon feel extremely uncertain. His demonic eyes stared strangely at Qin Shi. "Brat, what are you talking about?
Let me tell you, don't put on an act in front of me. I'm not the kind of person who can be intimidated by you. "
Hearing that, Qin Shi couldn't help smiling. He shook his head helplessly. "You said that you're not someone who can be intimidated. Then what the hell are you worried about? You're just saying one thing and thinking another."
"You …!"
The ferocious demon was infuriated by Qin Shi's words. Gritting his teeth, he waved his demonic claw. "Hmph, I originally wanted to let you live a little longer. Since you insist on seeking death, I'll fulfill your wish!"
The demonic claw shot out and the ferocious demon's body soared into the sky. His malevolent demonic head whistled towards Qin Shi.
In an instant, the huge force caused Qin Shi's black robe to flutter.
Seeing that the giant demon was about to close in, Qin Shi silently counted in his heart. "Three, two, one!"
"Time's up!"
Whoosh!
With a shout, Qin Shi suddenly dodged. If he used his full speed, this trifling demonic arrow wouldn't be able to catch up.
With a stride, he directly bypassed the demonic arrow and appeared behind it.
Seeing this, the demonic arrow panicked. However, its strength was too great, causing it to be unable to stop at all. With a somersault, it directly crashed into the mountain of food.
Rumble!
The ferocious demonic claw smashed the wall behind it into pieces.
Immediately, the cave collapsed. Shattered rocks tumbled down, directly burying the ferocious demon in the ruins.
