Qin Shi made up his mind that he must refine the Roc's wings to great success no matter what. As the saying goes, speed is the only thing that can't be defeated in martial arts. Qin Shi's advantage in speed over the years had brought him great benefits, letting him know that he must not fall behind no matter what. Otherwise, even if he was stronger than his opponent, he could only allow his opponent to escape if his opponent wanted to.
Old Ghost Kun's figure was like a bolt of lightning as he instantly flashed to the front of Long Xu. A huge demonic claw abruptly slashed down. Instantly, countless cracks appeared in the space. This seemingly ordinary attack contained an unparalleled power. It was extremely extraordinary.
The hearts of the people of the Long Clan rose to their throats as they nervously clenched their fists.
"Hmph, if you had flesh thirty thousand years ago, I might not be your opponent when we fought. But now, you're just a skeleton. You're not my opponent."
Long Xu was not to be outdone. He forcefully stomped his feet. Instantly, a halo of green dragon runes rose within a hundred feet around him. The world within the halo changed. It was as if millions of dragons had passed by and gathered together, tearing the space apart.
Clang!
Clang!
The two enormous forces collided, causing the already narrow corridor to tremble violently, and cracks began to appear on the barrier above.
The Azure Dragon Power of the Dragon's Beard continued to shoot out. Each Azure Dragon Power seemed to be carved in the air by a carving knife that was enough to tear the space apart. There were ancient lines on the dragon pattern. The Dragon's Beard suddenly opened his dragon mouth, and from his mouth, a thick flame dragon breath was sprayed out. The high temperature of thousands of degrees suddenly ignited the air, causing waves of heat to appear in the air, like circles of ripples.
Old Ghost Kun looked at the approaching dragon breath and coldly snorted in disdain. The bone wings on his back that were like clouds crossed each other, forming a bone shield. Most importantly, when the bone shield was formed, it seemed to be able to attract the fury of the heavenly lightning. First, it formed a wind shield, followed by the interweaving power of countless lightning webs, blocking the powerful dragon force.
Boom!
After a series of violent tremors, a dazzling light flickered in the quiet corridor. Lightning and fire intertwined. It was extremely terrifying. Waves of heat were like fire lions as they surged towards Qin Shi and the people of the Long Clan.
Qin Shi's expression turned solemn. As expected, the clash between Transcendent Realm experts had the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Just this remnant might was enough to kill ordinary Transcendent Realm experts. Qin Shi hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, be careful!"
"Senior Long Yan, lend me a hand. Open the barrier!" Qin Shi shouted sternly at that moment.
The gravity of the situation caused Long Yan to not dare to hesitate. He forcefully nodded his head and leaped forward to stand beside Qin Shi.
The two of them extended their hands and an illusory barrier rose from their palms. Qin Shi's barrier was infused with Spiritual Strength and four King Flames. Considering the might of the flames, the King Flames were definitely the strongest in the world. That was why they could barely block the surging heat waves.
Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Long Xu and Old Ghost Kun colliding. Every time they collided, it would be earth-shattering. He could not help but say, "What a terrifying battle."
"Yes, this battle is not something that we can participate in. If there's someone who can participate in it, it's you, little friend."
Long Yan smiled bitterly. Although he was unwilling to admit it, in just a few years, the youth who could not even be compared to a finger of his had grown to a level that even he had to look down on.
The current Qin Shi was someone that even Long Yan could not see through.
"Little friend, what level have you reached?" Long Yan could not help but ask.
Qin Shi hesitated for a moment and did not hide anything from Long Yan. "I am still in the World Realm. My world should be the same as yours. However, because of my physique, the divine item, and the four King Flames, I will not be helpless against ordinary Transcendent Realm experts."
"As expected …" Long Yan was already prepared. Qin Shi might have reached the level where he could deal with Transcendent Realm experts.
Qin Shi looked at Old Ghost Kun with a grave expression. In truth, Old Ghost Kun was very strong. He was not any weaker than Ming Xuan. However, Qin Shi was also confident that he could defeat him. However, if he did that, he would have to sacrifice too much. Qin Shi only had enough trump cards to deal with Ming Xuan or Old Ghost Kun. Once he used them, there would not be a second chance. Hence, unless it was absolutely necessary, Qin Shi would not use them easily.
Although Long Xu was stronger than Ming Xuan, there were too many unforeseen circumstances because of the Heaven and Earth Secret Array.
Qin Shi hesitated for a moment. At this moment, he finally asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time. "Senior, wasn't Senior Long Xu the patriarch of the Dragon Clan thirty thousand years ago?
Why did Zhe Tian's soul and Old Ghost Kun's words to Senior Long Xu both bring harm to the Long Clan? "
Long Yan hesitated for a while, but in the end, he said helplessly, "Little friend, you might not know this, but thirty thousand years ago, the Long family's bloodline flourished. Back then, Long Xu was the most talented expert in the Long family. Everyone believed that he was destined to enter the Life and Death Realm and join an Immortal Mansion Force. Unfortunately, Long Xu's cultivation suddenly stopped, and he did not advance at all. He was stuck at the Transcendent Realm. You also know that in this world, only the strong are respected. In the end, the Long family gradually began to oppose Long Xu's position, and some of the branch families even publicly judged Long Xu to fight for the position of Family Head."
"However, no one knew that in order to save the Long Clan, Patriarch Long Xu sacrificed his own bloodline to block the attack of the Bi Group. As a result, his cultivation stagnated. Patriarch Long Xu never told anyone about this. Even the current Dragon Clan does not know that in that year, Patriarch Long Xu reached the Life and Death Realm and entered the Immortal Mansion. Only the Dragon Clan did not."
"In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, Patriarch Long Xu was a sinner of the Dragon Clan." Long Yan was furious when he mentioned this.
"Those ingrates. Without Senior Long Xu, the Dragon Clan might have already perished. How could they still have their glory now?" Long Yan shook his head helplessly.
Qin Shi came to a sudden realization. He immediately looked at Long Xu with some emotion and respect.
To be able to give up his own future for a clan, Long Xu could definitely be called a good Patriarch. However, this outcome was a little cruel.
"Fortunately, the Human Emperor valued Patriarch and took him away from the Dragon Clan. This also allowed Patriarch Long Xu to make a name for himself in the ancient war. Otherwise, the current Long Clan would not recognize Patriarch Long Xu as a member of the Dragon Clan," Long Yan said coldly.
Qin Shi nodded. At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in his black eyes, as if he had made up his mind about something.
He was indebted to the Long Clan. He would go to the Beast Realm sooner or later, so he might as well go and take a look at the ungrateful Dragon Clan.
The collision between Long Xu and Old Ghost Kun became more and more intense. It had almost reached the point where sparks flew. Qin Shi watched every detail with rapt attention from afar. It should be known that watching a battle between experts was an extremely rare opportunity for those with low levels of cultivation, especially for people like Long Xu and Old Ghost Kun who had reached the Transcendent Realm. Every detail of the battle evolved the profound meaning of the world and the path of cultivation.
Most importantly, Qin Shi was able to sense that while the two of them seemed to have fallen into a never-ending stalemate, only the two of them were clearly aware in their hearts that both of them lacked a turning point if they wanted to obtain victory, a turning point where the other party would make a mistake. Once this turning point appeared, the other party would crush and defeat the other party with a thunderous momentum.
This was the battle between experts. One mistake could cost one his life. It was like a game of chess between experts. One wrong move would lead to the loss of the entire game.
However, the more it was like this, the more concentrated the two of them became.
Bang!
Suddenly, Long Xu and Old Ghost Kun's world collided. It was like two comets colliding. In terms of power, the two were about the same. They both retreated a hundred meters, but suddenly, Long Xu, who had just steadied himself, slipped. There was a very slight shift in his body. The Long Clan did not even notice it, but Qin Shi furrowed his brows because he knew that Long Xu had made a mistake.
The reason for Long Xu's mistake was because of the injury he had sustained outside the barrier.
"Oh no, Senior Long Xu's injury has not healed yet. His hidden injury is acting up again. Senior Long Xu is going to lose." Qin Shi's expression changed.
Although Long Xu tried his best to remain calm, the details did not escape Old Ghost Kun's eyes. Old Ghost Kun grinned with joy. "Haha, Long Xu, you're actually injured?
The heavens are really helping me!
This time, you're dead for sure! "
Old Ghost Kun fiercely moved. Like a sudden clap of thunder, he turned into a bolt of lightning and pounced at Long Xu. One of his hands suddenly turned and struck with all his strength, stabbing at the wound on Long Xu's chest.
Qin Shi's expression changed. He stomped on the ground and shot out with Old Ghost Kun at almost the same time. Qin Shi had pushed his speed to the limit. In front of Old Ghost Kun, Qin Shi did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. Not to mention that he did not have any advantage in terms of speed in front of Old Ghost Kun.
A pair of bone wings unfolded on his back. At the moment of imminent danger, Qin Shi suddenly appeared in front of Long Xu. His hand turned into a hand seal and condensed the air into a ball of air. Then, he fiercely shot forward.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion rang out like a bolt of lightning. At the place where Qin Shi and Old Ghost Kun clashed, a powerful tearing force appeared, shattering space. A powerful wave of air rolled out and Qin Shi's figure was blown back several meters. The webbing between his thumb and forefinger was torn. Even the protection of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique was shattered.
But fortunately, Qin Shi's all-out attack was barely able to block Old Ghost Kun's attack.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Qin Shi, Old Ghost Kun's face instantly turned gloomy like a ferocious beast. Shortly after, he saw through Qin Shi's aura and couldn't help knitting his brows. "World Realm. Brat, you can actually block my all-out attack with just the power of the World Realm?"
Long Xu's eyes also shrank at this moment. When he saw Qin Shi's attack, he couldn't help bitterly smiling.
"Little friend, I'm sorry."
Long Xu helplessly shook his head and clenched his teeth. The old and new injuries caused his body to churn and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
