A gentle voice rang in Ling Zhu's ears. Her delicate body suddenly trembled as she felt the warmth of the fingertips on her shoulder. It was as if she had been electrocuted. She turned her head around in a daze. When she saw the youth behind her, who was not very muscular but was like an incomparably large mountain that she could rely on as much as she wanted, she immediately covered her red lips as tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
"Qin, Qin Shi!
Qin Shi! "Ling Zhu sobbed involuntarily.
"Don't cry. No one will make you cry again." Qin Shi smiled.
Ling Yan was stunned when he saw Qin Shi. He did not recognize Qin Shi and only knew that Qin Shi should be a good friend of Ling Zhu's. He said, "Brat, hurry up and persuade Ling Zhu. There is no turning back now that the calamity has descended on our Ling Bamboo Palace. Don't let her mess around and ruin everything my father has done. Hurry up and take her away."
Unexpectedly, Qin Shi smiled faintly at this moment. He suddenly took off his black robe and lightly covered Ling Zhu's weak and delicate body. When everything was done, he suddenly turned around. His gaze carried a bit of eerie coldness, causing Ling Yan to feel a chill in his heart the moment he saw it.
"Uncle, there's no need. No one from the Ling Bamboo Palace will die again. Not even Master Ling. They will be the ones who will die."
After saying that, Qin Shi did not waste any more words. His chest muscles bulged out of his green shirt and he immediately flew towards the Space Jade that everyone in the sky could not dodge in time.
Ling Yan's heart sank when he saw this, "Young friend!
You can't. Once the Space Jade is activated, it cannot be stopped. Once it explodes, it will raze everything within a hundred thousand miles to the ground! "
"Uncle Ling, don't worry. Since he is confident, he definitely has a way." Mo Xingyu suddenly appeared and smiled.
"Xingyu?"
Ling Yan's face darkened. When Old Man Ling activated the Space Jade Array, he knew that the Ling Bamboo Palace would not be able to protect itself. However, if he could not move his juniors out, he would really become the sinner of the Ling Bamboo Palace.
However, just as Ling Yan was about to speak, Mo Xingyu suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle Ling, don't underestimate him. He is a fellow who once gave San Yuanzi a headache."
"Hmm?
The fellow who gave San Yuanzi a headache? "Ling Yan was startled. Immediately, the expression in his eyes changed as if he had realized something." He is … "
Mo Xingyu smiled and nodded. Soon after, he looked at the sky that was hanging by a thread and sighed in relief, "We have finally caught up … sister Ling Zhu's guess and choice were indeed correct."
Ling Yan was suddenly enlightened. He looked at the youth's back as if he had just woken up from a dream. Suddenly, he thought back to the shocking exchange of gazes just now. It was only for a moment, but it made him feel as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast that had just descended the mountain. He could not help but sigh in admiration, "This child … must be a dragon or a phoenix."
At this time, Burning Cloud looked at the Space Jade that was about to self-destruct. He shouted ferociously, "Bastard!
Bastard!
You old bastard!
Stop right now! "
"Haha, impossible. Little Burning Cloud, go back and tell Zong Yuanzi that I, Ling Hao, am a righteous person. The Ling Bamboo Palace will not fall like this. Instead, he should be careful. The heavens and earth are constant. They will not live for the good or die for the evil. Sooner or later, there will be karma and retribution."
"You old dog!" Burning Cloud clenched his fists. At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the Space Jade.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a green-clothed youth descended from the sky. The youth had a faint smile on his face the entire time as he stopped around the Space Jade. The violent hurricane around the youth became exceptionally quiet. The youth paused for a moment before he laughed heartily, "Haha, Grandpa Ling, this Space Jade was originally a treasure of my Ling Bamboo Palace. Why did you destroy it for someone else?"
"Hmm?" The young man's appearance was too sudden, causing everyone to be slightly startled.
In the next instant, Burning Cloud and the others looked as if they had seen a ghost. Burning Cloud looked at the familiar youth with sharp features and almost screamed, "It's you!?"
Qin Shi turned slightly and looked at Burning Cloud with a cold smile. "Haha, Palace Master Burning Cloud, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road."
Burning Cloud's eyes changed. His heart suddenly turned cold. He seemed to have expected something and clenched his fists. "This, this is impossible. How is this possible?
Aren't you dead?
Why are you here? "
"Haha, yes, but my life is tough. King Yama won't accept me," Qin Shi said coldly.
"You …!"
Burning Cloud's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. A trace of fear expanded from the depths of his eyes. That kind of fear was something he had never shown before, even when he saw Old Man Ling.
However, it seemed that Qin Shi didn't want to pay attention to him. His eyes slowly turned to the Space Jade.
To him, Burning Cloud was already a dead man. It was just a matter of when he wanted to keep it. The most important thing now was to stop the self-destruction of the Space Jade.
At this moment, Old Man Ling was also stunned. After he recognized Qin Shi, he laughed self-mockingly. "Haha, what a sin. I really didn't expect that the Three Purities Palace wouldn't make a move. Today, little friend, you have repaid evil with good. Little friend, seeing that you are fine, this old man's wish has been fulfilled. In the past six months, Ling Zhu didn't even say a word to this old man."
"However, little friend, the self-destruction of the Space Jade can't be stopped. This old man begs you to protect the lives of the Ling Zhu Palace's juniors!
It's too fake to say that I'll repay you in the next life. My Ling Zhu Palace's one hundred thousand great arrays are all hidden in the hands of my juniors. As long as you protect them, those arrays will all belong to you. In addition, all the treasures of my Ling Zhu Palace will also belong to you, "Old Man Ling pleaded.
"One hundred thousand arrays and all the treasures … That's indeed quite tempting." Qin Shi smiled and shook his head.
Hearing this, Old Man Ling frowned slightly. He could hear the hidden meaning in Qin Shi's words. He suddenly took a deep breath and clenched his withered hands. He actually wanted to kneel down in front of Qin Shi. "Little friend, I know that I didn't save you back then. Now, I also don't have the right to beg you to save the Ling Zhu Palace!
Just on account of this old man's age, why don't you agree to my request?! "
Seeing this, Qin Shi was slightly stunned. He hurriedly used spiritual energy to stop Old Man Ling's actions. With a bitter smile, he said, "Grandpa Ling, you might have misunderstood my meaning. I shook my head because I wanted to say that the Ling Zhu Palace doesn't need to be destroyed."
Old Man Ling was stunned. He shook his head and said, "That's impossible. The array in the Space Jade was left behind by the ancestors of my Ling Zhu Palace. Once it is activated, it can't be stopped. Little fellow, listen to my advice. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Your future is bright!
I only hope that you can protect the Ling Zhu Palace. "
"It can't be stopped?" Qin Shi glanced at the Space Jade. The cracks inside were spreading like little snakes.
Suddenly, Qin Shi stretched out his hand. At this moment, he whispered in his heart, "Sister Yu, are you confident?"
A Sanskrit word rose from the bottom of Qin Shi's heart.
When he saw the affirmative word, the corner of Qin Shi's mouth curled up into a smile.
"Then today, I will make the impossible possible!"
Suddenly, Qin Shi made an extremely daring move. As the Space Jade was rapidly moving, he actually took the initiative to cover it with his hand. Following that, a few lines of words appeared in his heart. Those words were the method to break the Jade In The Book. Qin Shi's hand seals changed extremely quickly. Every single one of them was clear and distinct. He entered from the East Life Gate and headed straight for the Southwest Rest Gate.
Rest, Life, Pain, Restriction, Scenery, Death, Shock, Opening, Eight Trigrams. All the changes in the formation were within it. The so-called "within" referred to these eight gates.
Among them, the Life Gate and the Death Gate were the most important. They were also the gates that controlled the opening and closing of life and death.
There was a Dou in the heaven and earth. Nine Dou formed a cycle. At this moment, Qin Shi's palm faced upwards. He actually used the same amount of spiritual energy as the Space Jade. He used the energy in his body to form a huge container. Around the Space Jade, a canal was formed. Following that, the canal turned and actually curved in the opposite direction of the Space Jade.
At this moment, Old Man Ling's eyes widened in shock. When he saw Qin Shi's technique, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
"Father, what is this kid doing?" Ling Yan turned around and asked.
Old Man Ling stroked his beard and said, "Who would have thought that this kid is actually a genius in array formations. Look closely at his every move. Every single one of his moves is extremely precise. You should know that in the Heaven and Earth Gates, a single inch can turn black into white. This is something that you should know very well. This is especially so in the deep sea. The terrain is very strange, making it difficult to determine the location of the eight gates. However, this kid seems to have some kind of power. He can actually change the location of the Heaven and Earth Gates."
"What?
This, this is impossible, right?
The Heaven and Earth Gates are the manifestation of the universe. Everything is fixed. When we array masters construct array formations, we also use the Heaven and Earth Gates to form them. Changing the Heaven and Earth Gates?
How is this possible? "
Old Man Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't see through it either. However, it should be right. The Space Jade's Eight Gates are opened. Only the Gate of Healing is tightly shut. In such a situation, unless the Gate of Healing is completely opened, there is no way to stop the Space Jade. However, not only did this kid not open the Gate of Healing, he actually used the Gate of Life to divert the energy from the Space Jade …!"
"There is hope for the Ling Bamboo Palace …" Old Man Ling sighed emotionally.
Bang!
At this moment, in the seven directions of the Ling Bamboo Palace, countless explosions sounded out. Every single explosion had the power to destroy the heavens and earth. A series of earth was turned into dust, and a few bear mountains were destroyed. When the seven explosions ended, the Space Jade that was about to explode finally calmed down. At this moment, Qin Shi stretched out his palm and grabbed the Space Jade in his hand.
Qin Shi looked at the Space Jade in his hand. The intense power of the Space Jade shocked him.
"No wonder the Blood Shaman said that with this Space Jade, one can open up another space in the void. This majestic power is indeed shocking."
"However, the power that Sister Yu used to change the Space Jade and divert the energy from the water channel are really profound."
Qin Shi thought to himself, "It seems like I have to practice more in the future. If I can really change the direction of the Space Jade, I won't have to worry about any array formation in the future."
After saying that, Qin Shi gradually retracted his expression. What followed was his ice-cold eyes.
