Lu Peng's eyes were originally narrowed, but when he heard Qin Shi's voice, he widened his eyes in excitement.
"Big, Big Brother!"
Qin Shi bent over and looked at Lu Peng, who was being kept in the deep pit. His gaze was like a cold and sharp blade as he said, "Get your spirits up. In the future, you will be my, Qin Shi's, lackey. Remember, no one can bully you. If they want your life, they have to get me to agree first. This small place is merely a place for you to train. In the future, you will follow me out of this deep sea and see the true world. At that time, you will fight for me with your life."
Bang!
With that said, Qin Shi waved his hand. The Spirit Sealing Array sealed outside the pit was easily shattered by Qin Shi.
"Can you climb out by yourself?" asked Qin Shi.
Lu Peng nodded forcefully. Then, he gathered all his strength and leaped out of the pit.
After Lu Peng escaped from danger, Chen Yan followed closely behind to support him. Qin Shi gestured for Chen Yan to take good care of Lu Peng before he turned around and said coldly, "Heh heh, you went through so much trouble just to lure me here. Since I'm here, why don't you draw your Dao?"
Upon hearing that, the twenty Tenth Palace disciples' eyes turned cold. They sneered contemptuously. From their point of view, Qin Shi's actions were undoubtedly sending him to his death. Ignoring the fact that Qin Shi was only a minor Palatial Lord of a peripheral Sea Palace, everyone present was an elite of the Tenth Palace. Any one of them was confident that they could kill Qin Shi. In the periphery, Qin Shi might be able to act arrogantly with the other Sea Palatial Lords, kill Fire Cloud Palace Elders, and defeat False World Realms, but so what?
These were heaven-defying things that many of the Sea Palaces found shocking, but they were able to do them.
Among these twenty people, only Zhou Zixuan had broken through to True World Realm. Most of the others were still stuck at Half a step into World Realm. Zhang Xin had reached False World Realm, but their combat prowess was the same as Qin Shi's. They could not be judged purely based on their levels of cultivation. There were a large number of martial arts and secret techniques in Ten Directions Palace, and even the weakest among them was a Blessed Realm high-tier martial art. Each of them had mastered Reincarnation Realm martial arts and had a spirit artifact at the peak of the peak. They were confident that they could kill Elder Huo Yun, who was in False World Realm, and their methods and speed were far faster, more accurate, and more ruthless than Qin Shi's.
This was the unique advantage that being a junior of the Ten Directions Palace gave them, the capital that allowed them to look down on the heavens.
"Haha, how arrogant. Do you think that you can be arrogant in front of your master just because you are a pig in the pigsty that we keep in the periphery?" At this moment, a few disciples of the Ten Directions Palace sneered.
Zhang Xin licked his lips ferociously and used his teeth to make a cut on his lips. Blood flowed out gently from his lips, making him look abnormally fierce. He smiled and said, "Brat, I really don't know if I should say that you are loyal or stupid?
With your strength, you might be able to do whatever you want in the periphery of the Sea Palace, but in our eyes, you are just a pig that is about to be released from the pen. Alright, since you have spoken, I will not waste my breath on you. Hand over the Space Cracking Stone and your soul power, and we can let you live for the time being, lest word gets out that the Ten Directions Palace is bullying you. "
"Haha, you want the Space Cracking Stone?" Qin Shi nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, then come and get it."
Qin Shi waved his hand, and a green jade stone that looked like a dragon or snake appeared in Qin Shi's palm.
"That is the Space Cracking Stone?"
Seeing the green jade-like transparent spirit stone, the disciples of the Ten Directions Palace were all excited.
Once they obtained this thing, it would be a meteoric rise for them, especially since the Ten Directions Palace had not had the chance to enter the inner three thousand for a thousand years. If they could offer this Space Cracking Stone to the Palace of Three Purities, the Sea Palace they were in would definitely be able to rise from the periphery and enter the inner three thousand in one go.
However, they were not stupid. Although they were all geniuses, geniuses were also divided into different levels. Compared to Qin Shi, they believed that they were the pride of heaven, but compared to Zhou Zixuan, who was in the True World Realm, they were slightly shabby.
Zhang Xin's eyes were filled with greed, but he did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he said in a low voice, "Zixuan, do you want to do it?"
Unexpectedly, when the twenty disciples' eyes were filled with scorn, Zhou Zixuan's gaze became slightly solemn. His gaze had always been on the stone awl that Qin Shi held up with one hand.
That stone awl was formed from his own world, and it was fused with the spirit energy molecules in the world. Only he knew just how terrifying the damage it could cause. Aside from the nineteen disciples present, he believed that it would be impossible for him to block that attack, but Qin Shi could actually easily hold up that stone awl that weighed ten thousand tons and was strengthened by spirit energy in his hand?
"This boy is more difficult to deal with than I thought," Zhou Zixuan thought.
At that moment, he was already clear that he was the only one who could fight against Qin Shi. Even if the other disciples of the Ten Directions Palace attacked, they would be instantly killed.
"You are not this boy's opponent," Zhou Zixuan said.
"What?"
Zhang Xin and the other disciples asked coldly, slightly displeased. They might admit that they were not Zhou Zixuan's opponent, but if they said that they were not Qin Shi's opponent, they would naturally not accept it.
"Heh heh, Zixuan, you must be joking, right?
How can such a poor boy compare to us geniuses who were born with a silver spoon in our mouths?
You are cursing us. "
"That's right, Brother Zixuan. He does have some fame. He killed Fire Cloud Palace's Elder and Yang Lun, but if it were me, I could do the same. Furthermore, I would definitely do it more cleanly than him. Why would I allow the Tuoba Palace to be destroyed to such a state?
If it were me, I could easily kill that trash from Fire Cloud Palace and Yang Lun within a hundred moves the moment they appeared. "
"With my current strength, it is difficult to find a match below the World realm!"
The Ten Directions Palace disciples said indignantly.
Zhou Zixuan could not be bothered to waste his breath on them as he sneered, "Heh heh, if you don't believe me, feel free to give it a try. If you can beat him, my Zhou Palace will no longer lay a finger on the Void Splitter Rock."
"Brother Zixuan, are you serious?" At that moment, a disciple's eyes flickered with a glint.
In the eyes of these disciples, the Void Splitter Rock was already theirs. Qin Shi was just a vessel to hold the Void Splitter Rock. What truly left them helpless was Zhou Zixuan. With Zhou Zixuan around, it was very difficult for them to obtain the Void Splitter Rock. Now that Zhou Zixuan had spoken, they were naturally overjoyed. Zhou Zixuan nodded with a sneer before cursing inwardly, "Heh heh, a bunch of people with well-developed limbs but simple brains. It's not a bad idea to let all of you test this punk's limits first."
With Zhou Zixuan's affirmation, the Ten Directions Palace disciples turned fervent.
Among them, Zhang Xin was the leader. If Zhou Zixuan did not participate, he would be the disciple with the greatest advantage.
Qin Shi seemed to see through Zhou Zixuan's intentions as he sneered, "Heh heh, are you trying to use some useless soldiers to test the waters first?"
Qin Shi patted Lu Peng on the shoulder, "Lu Peng, if Zhou Zixuan does not make a move, how confident are you of winning against the rest?"
Lu Peng was stunned for a moment before his eyes turned serious, "Sixty percent."
"Only sixty percent?" Qin Shi frowned.
"Only sixty percent?" Lu Peng's expression changed slightly as he quickly corrected himself, "Ninety percent!"
Only then did Qin Shi nod in satisfaction, "Heh heh, that's good. Since he wants to test the waters, I'll play with him."
"In a while, feel free to use all your trump cards. Don't embarrass me as your big brother. In addition, you don't have to defend against any attacks. Just focus on attacking. As for the rest, I'll cover you!"
"No, no need to defend?"
The corner of Lu Peng's mouth twitched. Who would not defend when fighting?
However, he had always listened to Qin Shi's words. He nodded seriously and leaped up, "Heh heh, you guys, I'll be your opponent!"
Seeing Lu Peng, the Ten Directions Palace disciples, led by Zhang Xin, looked at him with contempt, "Heh heh, a loser dares to come forward to die?"
"Zhang Yu, I'll leave this kid to you. I'll give you the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. Is that enough?"
Zhang Xin said. Zhang Yu was another grandson of Zhang Yang and the second participant of the First Palace. Zhang Yu stepped forward and smiled, "Half an incense stick's time?
Heh heh, no need. Three breaths! "
Zhang Yu said arrogantly. He shot up, and the space around him quickly shattered. At this moment, Zhang Yu stretched out his hand, and a water dragon roared from the ocean and charged towards Lu Peng's chest.
"It's the First Palace's Roaring Dragon Playing with Water!"
Chen Yan stood behind Qin Shi. Even her black robe could not hide her impressive figure. She was slightly worried for Lu Peng, "Qin Shi, although Zhang Yu's strength is inferior to Zhang Xin, he's still stronger than Elder Huo Yun. Moreover, his martial art is also a reincarnation martial art. If you let him deal with Zhang Yu, will he …"
"No!"
Qin Shi said decisively. His black eyes were cold, "Heh heh, Lu Peng's future achievements are not something these scoundrels can look down on.
Don't worry, as long as Zhou Zixuan doesn't make a move, no one can hurt Lu Peng now. Not to mention Zhang Yu, even Zhang Xin can do the same. "
Seeing Qin Shi's confidence, Chen Yan's expression softened a little.
"Kowloon Submerged Abyss!"
Lu Peng attacked, using the reincarnation martial art. The nine evil dragons collided with Zhang Yu's water dragon in the center.
At this time, Zhang Yu soared into the air and rushed towards Lu Peng. Almost at the same time, Lu Peng's shadow flickered and directly pulled away from Zhang Yu. At the same time, an extremely sharp water column pierced through Zhang Yu's oracle bone from the tip of his finger. His movements were smooth and natural, as if it was a normal battle. Everything was under his control.
Bang!
Zhang Yu howled in pain. He looked at Lu Peng in shock.
"Brat, you dare to hurt me?"
Lu Peng sneered. In terms of cultivation, he was indeed inferior to Zhang Yu and the others from the Tenth Palace. However, a battle was not a simple contest of spiritual energy. There was an essential difference between killing and sparring. No one knew what kind of devil training he had gone through before participating in the Deep Sea Source Pool. Qin Shi had practically locked him in the martial arts field day and night, excavating his potential with the goal of killing him. The current Lu Peng's combat experience far surpassed anyone from the Tenth Palace, including Zhou Zixuan.
