The soaring spiritual energy was like a flying crane.
"Why?
He's just a young man who's not even twenty years old. How can he have such power? "
"Yes, in terms of spiritual power, Qin Shi is on par with the Great Elder of the Cloud Cauldron Sect. But how do we explain this scene?" Everyone looked at the Body of All Evil that was eating away at the purple light of the stars. They were puzzled and confused.
"It's martial arts!"
At this moment, Elder Xun frowned and exclaimed.
As an elder of the Lihuo Sect's library, he had a unique understanding of martial arts.
He could feel the Burning Mist Curse in the sky. In front of the Burning Mist Curse, everything seemed to pale in comparison. There was no privacy at all.
Because of this, Elder Xun felt uneasy. He supported himself with his calloused hands and said in disbelief, "How can this be?
There was actually someone who could use martial arts to such a high degree of mastery?
Every detail, every movement, is like one's own arm. It comes and goes at one's will … "
Everyone came to a realization after being jolted awake.
That's right, the difference was martial arts.
With the help of Jade In The Book, Qin Shi's attainments in martial arts were far beyond that of ordinary people. In the entire ancient city, even the leaders of the two sects had to admit defeat.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the eight streaks of sword light, the resplendent stars in the sky, were reduced to dust by the raging wraiths.
The purple spiritual energy scattered like fireflies in the night sky, with a broken beauty.
"Damn it, how can this be?"
However, it was not the time to appreciate the beauty. Countless wandering souls and wild ghosts were rolling in the sky, letting out deafening roars as if they were showing off their power. Then, they bent their heads and bit at the three elders.
Seeing the three of them being devoured by the Burning Mist Curse, Qin Shi bared his fangs and said, "Humph, there's a path to heaven, but you don't want to take it.
There's no way you can blame me for being ruthless. Go to hell! "
The evil energy kept rising.
Everyone held their breaths at this moment.
But while everyone was guessing that the three elders would be torn to shreds, Lin Yun remained calm and unhurriedly stroked his beard with a sinister smile, "Do you think that you can defeat the three elders of my Yunding Sect with just that?
Naive! "
"Formation!"
At this time, Li Yundong was the first to come back to his senses. He leaped into the sky and occupied the eye of the array.
Pei Feng and Fan Qi followed closely behind, forming a series of hand seals and condensing their spiritual energy at the same time.
The three of them seemed to have fused into one, forming a dazzling ball of light in midair.
The ball of light was filled with a vast and mighty aftershock.
"Cloud Cauldron Universe Formation!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
The ball of light spun rapidly like a top, emitting an ear-piercing whistle.
Seeing this, Qin Shi's eyes narrowed, and he felt a little anxious. "What a powerful spiritual energy …"
"Shi Tou, hurry up and pull it away. This attack has fused the spiritual energy of the three of them, and its power has reached the level of a rank four martial art. It's comparable to the full power of a mid-stage Spirit Breaking Realm cultivator!" Jade In The Book frowned slightly as she felt the majestic pressure from the ball of light.
"Mid-stage Spirit Breaking Realm?"
Qin Shi felt a chill run down his spine. That was not an existence he could fight against at the moment.
"You dare to look down on my Yunding Sect? You'll have to pay the price in blood."
Enjoying the bath of the ball of light, Lin Yun revealed his fangs, as if he had already expected this to happen.
The disciples of the Lihuo Sect sucked in a cold breath at the same time.
Su Ming, Qin Shang, Yin Mo, and Xu Qiaoer were worried about Qin Shi. "Shi Tou!
Big Brother Shi Tou! "
Mo Chen and Elder Xun could no longer hold themselves back. They had witnessed Qin Shi's growth step by step. From when he first entered the sect, he was young and inexperienced. Now, he was able to fight against the many elders of the Cloud Cauldron Sect with his own strength. They had personally witnessed all of this.
Thinking about this, Mo Chen could no longer hold himself back. He waved his sleeves and was about to step forward to help, "Qin Shi!"
"Stop!" Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao raised his hand and stopped Mo Chen. He shouted angrily, "Mo Chen, what are you doing?
Have you forgotten?
He's no longer a disciple of the Lihuo Sect. His life and death have nothing to do with you! "
"Sect Master!"
"Sect Master, are you really going to do this?
Qin Shi is the benefactor of the Lihuo Sect. If it wasn't for Qin Shi, our disciples would've been massacred by the Yunding Sect. Do you think that Lin Yun would let us go? "Mo Chen said reluctantly.
"That's right. Sect Master, you've seen Qin Shi's talent. He's such a rare genius that even Chu Han pales in comparison. Do you really want to let him go?
Do you want to force him to stand against the Lihuo Sect? "
In an instant, Ling Xiao hesitated.
The struggle in his eyes could be seen clearly, but in the end, he shook his head and sighed, "This is Qin Shi's own calamity. I can't gamble the hard work of the ancestors of the Lihuo Sect."
"Sect Master!"
The two of them roared reluctantly.
"That's enough. I've made up my mind."
After interrupting the two of them, Ling Xiao became old. Rainwater brushed past his scarred face.
Seeing that the attack was about to hit him, Qin Shi felt powerless. The dazzling light in the ball of light grew brighter and brighter, devouring him bit by bit.
"Damn it!
Is this the end of it? "
"I can't accept this!"
Qin Shi's mind surged as he quickly executed all sorts of Martial Techniques. His eagle claws tore through the universe and space, clashing with the ball of light.
However, there was a limit to his spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in the sky was slowly devoured by the ball of light.
Rumble!
"Bang!" The loud sound caused the mountain to shake, and the roars of lions and tigers resounded in the forest. A huge gully that was at least thirty meters deep collapsed under Qin Shi's feet.
Shortly after, his silhouette was gradually devoured by the dazzling light of the ball of light.
"Pebble!"
"Brother Pebble!"
"Qin Shi! Qin Shi!"
In an instant, the sound of despair was heard along with the rustling of leaves.
Su Ming, Qin Shang, Yin Mo, Xu Qiaoer, Mo Chen, and Elder Xun's faces froze. The rainwater could not wash away the tears on their faces.
In an instant, the entire place fell silent.
"Is it over?
Is Qin Shi dead? "
Everyone covered their mouths with their hands. Too many shocking things had happened in such a short period of time.
"Going against the Yunding Sect?
You overestimate yourself. "A smile appeared on Lin Yun's face. He had expected this.
At that moment, Xu Qiaoer's body trembled. She got up in a frenzy and ran towards the ball of light without any hesitation. Her face was filled with grief. "Brother Pebble, don't worry. I'll accompany you!"
"Qiao 'er!"
"Qiao 'er, no!"
Su Ming and Yin Mo roared ferociously.
With the formation removed, Pei Feng let out a breath of turbid air and rubbed the wound on his chest caused by Qin Shi's eagle claw. With a savage and angry expression, his gaze landed on the sprinting Xu Qiaoer. "Humph, don't be anxious. You want to accompany that brat?
Don't worry, I'll fulfill your wish! "
As he spoke, lightning surged.
Pei Feng turned the lightning spear in his hand and charged towards Xu Qiaoer. "Die!"
"Old bald donkey, I've said it before. I'll kill whoever dares to touch my sister!"
However, at this moment, a deafening roar resounded from within the ball of light. Immediately, the nine rays of sword light pierced through Pei Feng's back, their might still lingering in the forest.
Pei Feng had yet to recover from the attack when he was engulfed by the nine rays of sword light. His body spasmed a few times before he flew a hundred meters away like a cannonball.
As he was sent flying, a corrosive aura lingered on his back, constantly devouring his life force.
"How, how could this be …"
Twitching and growling in fear, he looked at the ball of light in confusion.
Bang!
At that moment, black light filled the air. Black patterns appeared within the ball of light. They contained a strong corrosive aura and slowly dissipated the Spiritual Qi in the ball of light.
With a bang, the ball of light turned into broken fluorescent light and shattered into pieces.
The ball of light split open, revealing Qin Shi standing in his original spot. He held the pitch-black Netherworld Sword in his hand and slashed through the illusions, once again landing on Pei Feng's body with a blood-red light.
Pei Feng didn't understand what had happened even before he died.
"You, you didn't die?" Li Yundong and Fan Qi were both shocked by Pei Feng's tragic death.
"Hmph, how could I die?
I'm still going to kill you bastards! "
Glancing at the two of them, Qin Shi swung the Netherworld Sword with all his might, bringing with it a vast expanse of space. He pointed the sword at the two's chests and with a flip of his hand, nine rays of sword light appeared.
The rays were like rain.
The two's defenses were shattered and the corrosive aura took away the two's life force.
For a moment, the forest was silent. Three Elders had died at the same time, and all of them had died by Qin Shi's hands. Just what was going on?
"What?"
"Qin Shi didn't die?
What was that? "
After the silence, a deafening uproar broke out. Everyone's gaze fell onto Qin Shi.
Qin Shi stood in the forest with the Netherworld Sword in his hand, looking like an undying god of war.
On the Netherworld Sword, there was a terrifying aura that surrounded the forest. Wherever it passed, there was nothing but dirt and white bones. The green trees and red flowers lost their vitality, slowly turning into rotten wood.
"Emperor Soul Artifact!"
Lin Yun bared his teeth and roared.
Ling Xiao and Bai Yutang were shocked once more. In just a short moment, Qin Shi had given them too much shock.
First, it was a rare martial art, then a respected Talisman Master, and now even a Sovereign Spirit Tool, this kind of heaven-defying treasure, had appeared.
Just what was going on?
Ling Xiao felt even more remorseful. He didn't dare to imagine that Lin Yun was really a disciple of a small family living in a remote town.
Was he really only in the Late Phase of the Spirit Sealing Realm?
Was he really a youth that wasn't even twenty years old?
"Big Brother Shi …"
Xu Qiaoer's body trembled as she cried out.
Qin Shi looked at Xu Qiaoer. He had seen everything that Xu Qiaoer had done just now. His body flashed, and he nimbly leaped to Xu Qiaoer's side. "Silly girl, do you know what you were doing just now?
If anything happens to you … "
Pfff!
Before he finished speaking, he felt a warmth in his embrace.
Xu Qiaoer pounced forward without any hesitation and hugged Qin Shi. Tears fell from her eyes, "Wuwu, I don't care. I just want to be with you …"
Su Ming and Qin Shang were also very excited. They rushed forward quickly. Yin Mo hesitated for a moment, then said with tears in her eyes, "Stone … that's great."
Looking at the four of them, Qin Shi showed a rare expression of warmth. It was as if he had let go of all the killing around him. He took a deep breath, "Haha, what are you doing one by one?
Why are you all so surprised?
Did you really think I was dead?
Really, you don't even have this much confidence. How can you still treat me as a friend? "
"I, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you again …" Xu Qiaoer replied while twitching.
Qin Shi was in a daze. He raised his arms and hugged Xu Qiaoer, running his fingers through her hair, "Silly girl, how can that be?
Haven't you heard that good people don't live long, but bad people live for thousands of years?
Big Brother Shi always bullies you. God can't let me die. He wants me to live and love you. "
Xu Qiaoer nodded and buried her head in Qin Shi's chest.
"Lad, I've underestimated you. I never thought that you would have such a treasure."
Suddenly, a mocking voice broke the warmth. Lin Yun waved his sleeve and stepped forward. A tsunami of spiritual energy covered the entire area, "But you can't bring out the true power of the Emperor Soul Artifact with your current strength. Why don't I take care of it for you for now?"
Hearing that, Qin Shi's expression turned grave.
Lin Yun was in the Middle Phase of the Spirit Breaking Realm. He wasn't an existence that the elders could look down on.
Even if he still had the Wraith Talisman and the Netherworld Sword, he still didn't have the slightest confidence. "Hmph, it's finally time?"
"You do have some ability, but it's not good to be too arrogant. There's a saying that goes, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
For this, you must die! "
Lin Yun smiled. His smile was filled with greed and purity. Shortly after, the mountain started to tremble. It was as if a sleeping dragon had poked its head out and let out a deep roar.
"Violet Star – Bright Star!"
Stars rained down from the sky.
"How terrifying …" Qin Shi's eyes froze.
Lin Yun's strength was even more exaggerated than he had expected.
The surrounding mountains and rivers trembled. The Meteor Shower swept past with an unstoppable force, leaving behind ravines everywhere it passed. It whistled towards Qin Shi with the force of lightning.
"Haha, how can I not be here when it's so lively?"
But at this moment, Qin Shi's eyes were filled with despair. Just as he was at a loss of what to do, the sky suddenly reverberated with the sound of the vast sky, and surging scarlet flames filled the air. Waves of heat were like tumbling voices in the flames, and even the dripping rainwater was evaporated.
An old figure passed through the leaves like a specter and stood in front of Qin Shi. A massive crimson hand condensed and clashed with the Starfall Meteor.
"Lin Yun, this little fellow is my benefactor. You have to ask for my permission before you touch him."
"It's you?
Senior! "
Qin Shi was stunned when he saw who it was.
This person was wearing a crimson robe and his aura wasn't any weaker than Lin Yun.
"The Blood Venerable?
It's you? "
Swish!
Lin Yun's face turned grave.
"Lin Yun, it's about time for us to settle our grudges for the past twenty years with your Cloud Cauldron Sect!"
The Blood Venerable waved his crimson robe as he looked at Lin Yun. His eyes were filled with raging flames that surged into the sky like a dam that was about to burst out.
