"Those who injure him, die!"
A cold voice came out from Yu Luocha's cherry lips, causing everyone present to shiver uncontrollably. Xuan Yun's raised foot froze on the spot.
"Yu Luocha, you want to go against the entire Xuan Group?"
"I said, those who injure him, die!" Staring at Xuan Yun, Yu Luocha repeated her words, this time with an even colder voice.
Xuan Yun bared his teeth and roared: "You …"
Kacha!
But without waiting for his voice to finish, the crisp sound of a sword being unsheathed came out from Yu Luocha's waist, her jade-like hands holding onto the hilt of the Nirvana Sword, slowly pulling it out inch by inch.
Clang!
Seeing the Nirvana Sword revealed, the unsheathed cold aura had already disturbed the clear sky, causing everyone present to retreat a few steps in fear. Nangong Bing turned around and roared: "Disciples of Bai family listen up, close your eyes!"
"Xuan Group listen up, close your eyes!"
A few of the Xuan Group's stewards at the back panicked.
But Yu Luocha did not mind, the Nirvana Sword was still being pulled out inch by inch, and said to Xuan Yun: "You still have three seconds to consider, if not I don't need to say the consequences of the Nirvana Sword being unsheathed, you should know!"
The veins on Xuan Yun's forehead popped out, he gritted his teeth so hard that creaking sounds could be heard.
He had heard of the Nirvana Sword's ability, looking at the half meter silver halberd that was already exposed, it caused him to tremble with fear.
His determination was not bad, he was not afraid of the Nirvana Petrification ability, but the thousands of disciples in the Xuan Group were different.
Clenching his fist, he finally nodded fiercely: "Good, good, good, good, I never thought that Yu Luocha, who walked alone for thousands of miles and stained with blood, would also help others, today I have learned something new!"
"But remember, this is not the end."
With a roar, Xuan Yun carried Heng Dao and leaped back to the side of the Xuan Group.
Maybe if the two sides were to fight, Xuan Yun would not be afraid of Yu Luocha, although Qin Shi's strength was not bad, but he was definitely not a match for the thousands of people in the Xuan Group.
But to be able to become the leader of the Xuan Group, he must have an extraordinary mind, so he would definitely not make a move at this critical moment, since there was still the Bai family eyeing him.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Luocha dared to force Xuan Yun like this.
Seeing Xuan Yun retreat, Yu Luocha let down her guard and put away the Nirvanic Sword. She then turned to Qin Shi and asked in concern, "How are you?"
Qin Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Didn't I tell you not to come forward?"
"You turned around just now."
Yu Luocha did not refute.
Hearing this, Qin Shi was stunned. Only then did he remember that he had indeed turned around just now. Yu Luocha had said that she would block all the arrows from his back for him.
"How reliable."
Revealing a satisfied smile, Qin Shi did not say anything else. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the center of the Heavenly Lake.
This small interlude caused the Xuan Group and the Bai Clan's people to be wary of Qin Shi and Yu Luocha at the same time. In a short while, they split into three groups of people beside the Heaven Lake.
Waiting was a long and painful process.
During this process, Xuan Yun's gaze was always angrily staring at Qin Shi and Yu Luocha. The two had long felt this, but they did not care.
At this time, She Xi 'er, who had been sleeping in Yu Luocha's embrace, suddenly trembled and woke up from her dream.
Sensing She Xi 'er's abnormality, Qin Shi lowered his head and asked, "Xi' er, what's wrong?"
"The Holy Spirit Flower is about to bloom." She Xi 'er said with a trembling voice.
Hearing this, Qin Shi and Yu Luocha's pupils contracted at the same time. After looking at each other, they shifted their gaze towards the center of the Heaven Lake.
Weng Weng Weng!
As expected, the Heaven Lake that had been calm for a long time suddenly boiled. The lotus leaf floating in the center suddenly fluttered and ripples of water spread towards the lakeside.
This phenomenon alarmed Xuan Yun and Nangong Bing at the same time. The disciples of the Xuan Group and the Bai Clan immediately became vigilant and raised their silver daggers.
"In a moment, don't rush forward."
Just as the two sides were eager to fight, Yu Luocha's gaze became serious as she softly murmured to Qin Shi.
Qin Shi was puzzled and was stunned, "Why?"
"Don't you think something is missing?" Yu Luocha didn't reply and only asked a question.
What is missing?
Qin Shi was a little confused at first, but then he suddenly realized, "You mean, the Fiend Race?"
"That's right."
Yu Luocha nodded slightly and revealed some fear in her eyes, "The Xuan Group and the Bai Clan caused such a huge commotion when they broke the Misty Formation. It's impossible for the Fiend Race to not notice it, but it's already been half a day and not a single person from the Fiend Race has appeared. Don't you think it's a little strange?"
Qin Shi frowned. He hadn't noticed it because he had put most of his energy into the Holy Spirit Flower. But after hearing Yu Luocha's words, it was indeed a little strange.
It was impossible for the Fiend Race to not notice it, but why didn't they send anyone?
There were only two possibilities. One was that they were afraid of the Xuan Group and the Bai Clan and deliberately avoided them. But this could be eliminated, so there was only the second possibility: there was a conspiracy.
After a moment of silence, Yu Luocha said again, "Besides, don't you think the Bai Clan and the Xuan Group's movements are a little strange?
The Holy Spirit Flower is the Fiend Race's sacred object. How could the Xuan Group and the Bai Clan so easily know about it?
And it seems like they made an agreement to attack at the same time. "
Qin Shi's eyes turned, and then he looked at Yu Luocha and said in surprise, "You mean the Fiend Race deliberately lured the Xuan Group and the Bai Clan here?"
"Yes, but I can't figure out why they would do this. If the Holy Spirit Flower really fell into the hands of the Xuan Group or the Bai Clan, it wouldn't benefit the Fiend Race at all." Yu Luocha shook her head after a moment of silence.
Regarding this, Qin Shi also found many suspicious points.
But he couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. It wasn't that he couldn't let it go, so he patted Yu Luocha's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. If you know it's a conspiracy, be careful. Later, act according to the situation. If something unexpected happens, you take Xi 'er and leave …"
"No!"
"Let me finish."
Qin Shi glanced at Yu Luocha reproachfully and said, "Xi 'er needs someone to take care of her. If something unexpected happens, you'll drag me down with you. Don't worry, I'm still alive. I'll definitely be fine.
"Moreover, I'm in front of you now. Don't forget what you promised me. I'll leave the back to you!"
The corner of his mouth slightly raised, very faint, but somewhat sinister. Beside him, Yu Luocha's pretty face changed, but she didn't say anything.
Yu Luocha didn't speak again, but her ice-cold heart gradually became firm.
Shi Tou, I said that I'll block all the sneak attacks from behind you, so I'll definitely block them for you. No matter what the Fiend Race's conspiracy is, even if we have to die together, I'll definitely do it.
Puff!
Right at this moment, a muffled sound came from the center of the Heavenly Lake. Immediately after, a rich fragrance of flowers spread out and filled the entire mountain peak.
This fragrance was rich but not pungent, and it tugged at people's heartstrings.
Rumble!
The silent Heaven Lake sprayed out water droplets like a fountain, the water droplets formed a drifting rain that drenched the Xuan Group and Bai Clan disciples, at the same time, their faces revealed joy: "The Holy Spirit Flower has bloomed!"
"Let's do it!"
Xuan Yun was the first to return to his senses. He circulated his spiritual energy with one hand and slapped the ground. With a loud rumble, his body shot up into the Heavenly Lake like a cannonball.
"Xuan Yun, don't even think about it!"
Nangong Bing stood up at almost the same time. A solemn and resolute expression appeared on her fair face. She spread out her hand and a vast amount of spiritual pressure appeared.
Bang!
Suddenly, the two palms collided. A seven-colored halo formed between their palms. Immediately after, the weak water in the Heavenly Lake suddenly splashed up, forming a water pillar that was more than a hundred meters tall.
The two were separated by the water pillar. Xuan Yun looked at Nangong Bing through the water pillar and growled, "Nangong Bing, you're playing with fire!"
"Cut the crap!
My Bai Clan will be taking the Holy Spirit Flower! "
Nangong Bing didn't waste any more words. A ray of spiritual light danced in her palm. Shortly after, she bent down and snatched the Holy Spirit Flower.
"You're courting death!"
After blocking the spiritual light, Xuan Yun sensed Nangong Bing's actions. He was enraged. He bared his teeth and roared. Shortly after, his five fingers drew five rays of light in the air. "Dragon Roams the Four Seas!"
The water pillar in the center was sliced apart. The surrounding air twisted. Shortly after, a dragon emerged from the center of the water pillar. It was like a giant hive tearing through the clouds as it pounced towards Nangong Bing.
Looking back at the blue dragon, Nangong Bing's eyes darkened. Shortly after, she quickly stopped. She placed her palms in front of her chest and formed a hand seal.
"Lightning Spear!"
The hand seal faced the sky. The clouds gathered to form a thundercloud. Suddenly, a hundred meter long lightning spear slashed down, entangling with the blue dragon.
Boom!
The air rippled once again, causing the water pillar to explode into a torrential rain.
The disciples from both sides watched as their leaders fought in the air. Just the shockwaves from their attacks forced them back a few steps.
Just as the Holy Spirit Flower was about to fall into her hands, she was met with a raging flood dragon. Nangong Bing twitched helplessly. She could only give up for now and dodge into the sky.
"There's a chance!"
Looking at the two of them who were equally matched, Qin Shi unleashed all of his Mental Energy, maintaining his vigilance at all times. In the instant that Nangong Bing was forced out of the Holy Spirit Flower, joy flashed in his eyes.
"Watch Xi 'er!"
After slapping Yu Luocha, Qin Shi didn't wait for her to react. He stretched out his hand and a golden demonic rune appeared in his palm.
Suddenly, a halo flashed on his forehead. Golden fur burst out from his body. His arms expanded several times and a pair of wings unfurled from his back.
"The Proud Sky Winged Tiger, ranked 999 on the Ferocious Beast List?" Qin Shi's sudden transformation caused Yu Luocha's body to tremble.
After transforming into a Winged Tiger, Qin Shi flapped his wings without hesitation. He continuously stepped on the air amidst the raindrops in midair, rushing to pluck the Holy Spirit Flower in the center.
At this time, the two people fighting in the air also felt Qin Shi's presence. They turned around and roared, "Brat, how dare you!"
"Hehe, thank you both!"
But as the two of them spoke, Qin Shi had already landed on the lotus leaf. Looking at the Holy Spirit Flower in front of him, he revealed a look of joy.
He reached out from his black robe and plucked the Holy Spirit Flower.
"Success?" Qin Shi's eyes were filled with joy, and then he stood up with the intention of flying backwards.
But before he could leave the lotus leaf, Xuan Yun and Nangong Bing's faces turned green. They attacked at the same time, "Lightning Spear, Four Seas Dragon!"
"Great Relic Formula!"
The two terrifying forces behind him made Qin Shi's heart turn cold. He immediately flapped his wings and flipped half a circle. Three bitingly cold purple flames jumped out.
Boom!
The three mighty Relic emitted golden light and met the Flood Dragon and the falling thunder. The sky and earth darkened.
Looking at the dazzling sky, everyone was stunned.
But on the lakeside, Yu Luocha looked at the Holy Spirit Flower in Qin Shi's hand and lowered her eyes. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.
What was wrong?
Suddenly, she was shocked. She immediately looked down at the Ruo Water of the Heavenly Lake. Then, her black pupils shrank as if she had seen something horrifying. She looked up at Qin Shi and roared, "Shi Tou, throw the Holy Spirit Flower away!"
