"Are they here?"
Looking at the arrow on the bed, Qin Shi frowned as he was not surprised.
He had expected that someone would come looking for trouble after the incident at night, but he did not expect them to come so quickly and not even allow him to rest for the night.
Swoosh!
With a cold glint in his eyes, another sharp killing intent rushed down from behind him, forcing him to take half a step back. He reached out with one hand to his chest and grabbed the second arrow in his hand.
He was really angry when he looked down at the second arrow.
"Hmph, since you dare to disturb my rest, I'll play with you!"
With a flash of spiritual light, the arrow was crushed into powder. Qin Shi lifted his black robe and leaped out of the window.
Floating in the air, Qin Shi looked around and noticed an old man in the direction where the arrow was shot. He was wrapped in a gray cloak and his face could not be seen clearly. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, giving him a dignified air.
"Haha, old man, so you are the one who disturbed my rest?
Have you thought about what to do after your death? "Qin Shi curled his lips in surprise and sneered.
Swoosh!
Unexpectedly, the old man turned around without hesitation when he saw Qin Shi. He turned into a shadow and flew out of Leng City.
"Trying to lure me out of Leng City?
Hmph, that's exactly what I want! "
Qin Shixian was stunned. He was also thinking that if two Cryptic Spirit Realm martial artists were to fight in front of the restaurant, just the residual spiritual power alone would cause a commotion. If that happened, he would be able to leave Leng City without any worries.
However, he did not rush to chase after the old man. Instead, he turned around gently and stretched out his palm. He curled his fingers upward and a faint golden light appeared on his fingertips.
With a wave of his hand, he set up a barrier outside Xiao Mi Cai and Yu Luocha's room. He then waved his hand in satisfaction and dragged his black robe to chase after the old man.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
In the night sky of Leng City, two broken shadows tore through the starlight and sped toward the secluded forest outside the city wall.
As he sped along, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and spread out his psychic power. When it enveloped the old man, he couldn't help but be stunned. He discovered that although the old man's spiritual energy was only at the early stage of the Cryptic Spirit realm, there were quite a few psychic fluctuations mixed within his spiritual energy.
"So he's also a talisman magician?"
Qin Shi was surprised by this. He had never seen a Talisman Magician other than Pu Quan. He had to admit that this profession was rare and honorable.
After ascertaining the situation, Qin Shi was just about to withdraw his mental power when he frowned. His black eyes followed the direction of the black robe and looked behind him. He discovered that there was another early stage Cryptic Spirit Realm cultivator following him from a thousand meters away.
He couldn't help but grin. "Haha, looks like it's going to be really lively tonight."
However, he didn't do much. He just acted as if nothing had happened and withdrew his Mental Energy, then quickly followed the old man into the secluded forest.
Stepping on the branches of the ancient trees in the secluded forest, the old man raised his head and looked at Qin Shi. He smiled eerily. "Hehe, what a bold kid. You actually dared to chase after me?"
Qin Shi also landed on the ground and shrugged his shoulders. "What else? If I don't get rid of the trouble, I'm afraid it'll be hard for me to rest tonight."
"Haha, you're a little weak. Let's see if you can go back and rest tonight!"
The old man was stunned when he heard this. Then, he stroked his beard and laughed. As he laughed, his sleeve moved and an emerald green crossbow appeared out of nowhere.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Three cold arrows tore through space and flew toward Qin Shi's eyebrows.
Boom!
Qin Shi's Divine Sense trembled slightly. The footsteps under the black robe swiftly pulled back. He used a strange footwork technique to dodge the two cold arrows. Immediately, he extended his hand in a dark and solemn manner and grabbed the third cold arrow in his palm.
His slender fingertips changed, and his thumb pierced downwards with a ray of golden light. Soon after, the arrow was bent invisibly. He said coldly, "Old man who doesn't know the rules, don't you know that you should first announce your name before fighting?"
"Someone who's about to die doesn't deserve to know my name!"
The three arrows missed. The old man wasn't surprised. It was as if he had expected it. The moment he leaned forward on the branch, he shot toward Qin Shi.
Qin Shi retracted his aura and raised his palm to meet the attack.
Bang!
Each and every move of the Cryptic Spirit Realm cultivators shocked the world. With just a single exchange of their palms, a frightening spiritual pressure rose up like a raging inferno. The fierce wind it created tore countless ravines on the ground and devoured dozens of ancient trees.
"Fire Fountain Cannon!"
Then, the old man bent his back and formed a hand seal with his palm. A ray of fire shot out like a burning cheetah.
"Pine Phantom Kick!"
Qin Shi didn't back down. He raised the corner of his lips and thousands of arrows shot out from the tip of his feet.
Clang!
Countless phantoms swept through the forest.
Rays of cold light shot out from their palms and fists like a collapsing waterfall. Countless meteors fell like silver chains.
But the more they fought, the more shocked the old man was, "Didn't this kid just break through to the Cryptic Spirit Realm?
How can he be so powerful? "
"Old fart, it's my turn!"
Under his rage, Qin Shi leapt forth. Shortly after, he raised his hand and slashed the heavens apart. Like a giant beetle devouring the heavens, he compressed the Spiritual Energy in this region. The essence in this region seemed to leak out as it gathered towards his palm.
The surging spiritual light was like a blossoming flower, causing the gravity in the surroundings to change and explosively shoot down.
"Dammit, what kind of strange move is this?"
Looking at the flower, the old man's eyebrows twitched. But when he wanted to dodge, he lost control of his body. He could only watch as the light pierced through him like raindrops.
Puff!
The pain made him spit out a mouthful of blood. He had no choice but to send out two invisible waves of mental energy to block the light.
Qin Shi wasn't surprised. He grinned and said, "Haha, you're so desperate that you want to jump over a wall?"
"Kid, you forced me to use my mental energy. Then, your death will come!"
The old man panted heavily and raised his head. His eyes opened and closed as he stared coldly at Qin Shi. "Taiyi Three Sun Art!"
Whoosh!
Invisible mental energy gathered in the air and started to materialize bit by bit. Then, it took up three spots in the sky and formed an array.
"Mental energy martial art?"
Qin Shi was rather surprised by this. It should be known that mental energy martial arts were far from what ordinary martial arts could look down on. There were only a few of them in the entire continent. That was why he was so excited when he was cultivating the Great Relic Mantra.
"Looks like I've underestimated you, old man."
Qin Shi curled his lips. His cold eyes suddenly shrank. However, in the next instant, three strands of Mental Energy leaped out and directly formed three purple flames in the air.
"You're also a Talisman Master?" The old man stared in shock.
"Hehe, you're not the only one who has mental energy."
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders and smiled. He immediately extended two fingers and pointed at the formation. With a cold laugh, he said, "Break it!"
Boom!
The serene flame shot out and quickly after, the old man's boundary indifferently exploded. When he recovered once again, Qin Shi had already arrived in front of him. A fist that did not show any respect for the old struck the side of the old man's face, causing him to flip a couple of times before violently falling onto the ground.
"Enough. Since you dare to come out and look for trouble, I think you should be prepared to die."
Qin Shi waved his hand and yawned. Then, he controlled the three flames to form three golden rays. He only had one thought, which was to get rid of the old man and go back to sleep.
"Wait a minute!"
The old man turned over and said with a trembling voice, "I, I haven't told you my name."
Qin Shi was stunned. Then, he laughed mockingly, "Hehe, there's no need for that!
Since you didn't say anything, I've treated you as a homeless stray dog. "
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't even give the old man a chance to refute him. A piercingly cold light swept down from the sky, and it swept past the old man's neck and directly took his life.
After getting rid of the old man, Qin Shi clapped his hands. He did not rush to leave. Instead, he lowered his head and looked to his side. He said coldly, "Come out. How long do you want to watch the show?"
"Hehe, Brother Qin Shi is very capable."
Following Qin Shi's voice, a handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes came out from a dark corner of the forest. He stepped on the dried branches and leaves, which made a light sound.
Seeing this person, Qin Shi was not surprised. He smiled, "Hehe, Young Master Leng is in a good mood. Instead of resting in the middle of the night, you came here to stalk me?"
Without a doubt, this young man was Shangguan Leng.
He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shi. There was a clear fear in his eyes. "Not at all. I'm just curious. Brother Qin Shi, who is Young Master Qin?
The Second Elder of the Zhao Clan is a Three-Vein Talisman Devil Master. Even the Shangguan Clan can't kill him easily. But in the hands of Brother Qin Shi, it was as easy as killing an ant. "
"Young Master Leng, you don't need to know who I am. If that's all, I'll go back first. I won't accompany you any longer." Qin Shi curled his lips. He did not have a good impression of the Shangguan Clan.
Shangguan Leng smiled with his hands behind his back. "Hehe, of course you can. But Brother Qin Shi, what do you think will happen if my uncle finds out that you killed my brother?"
As soon as he took a step forward, Qin Shi's eyes narrowed. Did they find out about what happened in the evening?
"Hehe, Young Master Shangguan, are you threatening me?"
Shangguan Leng shrugged indifferently. "Whatever Brother Qin Shi thinks."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
Qin Shi lowered his eyes and looked at Shangguan Leng with interest.
"Hehe, you won't," Shangguan Leng said confidently.
"Oh?
You're so sure? "
A cold light flashed in Qin Shi's eyes. At the moment he looked back, rays of golden spiritual light shot out from his palm like a spider web and enveloped Shangguan Leng on a tree trunk that was as thick as three people.
Bang!
Shangguan Leng was obviously shocked when he was locked on the tree trunk. However, he pretended to be calm and bit his lower lip. He did not even struggle. His eyes flashed with a strange smile. "Before I left, I had already passed this news to my attendant. If I don't return to the mansion before sunrise, he will report the news of you killing Shangguan Chao to my uncle!"
"Do you think that I'll be afraid of the Shangguan Clan?" Qin Shi growled in displeasure. The spider web spun in his palm and shrunk even tighter.
"Haha, Brother Shi Qin is an almighty being, so he naturally wouldn't fear my Shangguan family. However, your wife and daughter might not necessarily be the same. If my uncle were to find out about this, with his usual style of doing things, I'm afraid that even if he goes all out, he'll fight you to the death."
Shangguan Leng endured the pain and said, "Instead of that, why don't we talk about cooperation? Whether it's for you or your wife and daughter, it's all good and no bad!"
"Cooperation?"
