The Ninth Heaven Blood Cloud changed, causing a huge commotion. The dripping rain fell into the boiling blood pool, finally calming it down. Suddenly, a wave of spiritual energy that was as pure as the eruption of a volcano burst out.
The dense spiritual energy caused the hundred thousand people to clamor.
"The Spiritual Origin Blood Pool has stabilized!"
"There are only ten spots in the blood pool. Everyone, hurry up and fight for it!"
Someone was the first to announce the rules of the Spiritual Origin Blood Pool. Obviously, many people did not know about it. After hearing it, they were all surprised and disappointed. Then, even more people swarmed towards the blood pool.
"The spots in the blood pool belong to the Yuan Family!"
"Yuan Xun, don't even think about it!" One side stood up, and several other forces began to fight for it.
Behind them, as Qin Shi panted, a crisp sound came from his Dantian. He could not help but reveal a look of joy. He looked inside his body and saw a Spirit Crystal spreading out, "Is this the shackle of the Cryptic Spirit Realm Middle Stage?"
"Ha, this Spiritual Origin Blood Pool is indeed extraordinary. As long as I can soak in it, I will definitely break through in less than half a day!" Thinking of this, Qin Shi greedily sucked in the Spirit Crystal and stared at the blood pool.
The blood pool stabilized. The eyes of the crowd were bloodshot. Everyone seemed to have gone crazy, and they did not care about the consequences.
Blades flashed, swords flashed, and sparks flew.
In the midst of the clamor, only two forces stood firmly. No one stood up. They were the Blue Dragon Sect and the Shangguan Family. Qin Shi and Shangguan Ba stood in front of the Shangguan Family, staring at the blood pool with their hands behind their backs.
Poof!
Poof! Poof!
Poof! Poof! The crowd continuously jumped into the blood pool, only to be pierced by countless spiritual lights. No one was willing to take a step back in the fight for benefits. Immediately, thousands of corpses floated to the surface of the blood pool.
"These idiots," Shangguan Ba growled, "By doing this, they will only benefit the Blue Dragon Sect in the end."
Qin Shi glanced sideways and smiled, "That might not be the case."
"Hmm?
Little friend, what do you mean? "Shangguan Ba asked.
"Shangguan Family Head, if these people had to choose between the Blue Dragon Sect and the Shangguan Family, who do you think they would choose?" Qin Shi asked outside.
Shangguan Ba was confused and stunned. "I'm not belittling myself, but with the Shangguan family's current strength, they will definitely choose the Blue Dragon Sect."
"That's right. These people from small families are all people who only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. If we leave them until the end, and the Blue Dragon Sect stands out and calls for help, do you think that we'll be able to take down the blood pond with 100,000 people?" As Qin Shi spoke, he shifted his gaze to the Blue Dragon Sect's Cheng Xu.
Cheng Xu also stared at him fiercely.
In a daze, Shangguan Ba suddenly remembered that Cheng Xu had extended an olive branch to Qin Shi. He slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"
"Let them fight. This will eliminate our future troubles, which is beneficial to us." Qin Shi nodded without saying a word.
The tens of thousands of people fought for a whole hour, but no one succeeded in entering the Spiritsource Blood Pond. However, the huge number of 100,000 people was reduced to less than 10,000.
The remaining people were also covered in wounds.
"It's about to begin!"
His cold, black eyes suddenly opened, and an invisible aura enveloped the surroundings, forcing the disciples of the Shangguan Family to step back.
Shangguan Ba was stunned in confusion. However, when he raised his head, Qin Shi was no longer in his original spot. He took a big stride forward and stopped at the edge of the blood pool, his black robe fluttering as he raised his hand to support his chest.
Bang!
With a series of loud noises, the space in front of Qin Shi collapsed, and a sandstorm thousands of feet high rolled up. It was as if two giant dragons had collided, and the figure of Elder Sang appeared from the space.
The figure was Cheng Xu, and Shangguan Ba could not help but feel a chill in his heart. He turned back to look at the Blue Dragon Sect, and there were only a few traces left where Cheng Xu had been.
"So fast!
Has this old guy improved again? "
The terrifying aura of the two was like a wild beast, engulfing the crowd around them.
The crowd took a few steps back and stared at the two, then looked at Qin Shi, who was standing in front of Cheng Xu, and could not help but be shocked. "This kid can actually block Sect Leader Cheng's palm?"
"How is this possible?
Isn't he only at the early stage of the Cryptic Spirit Realm? "
Curious, surprised, and puzzled, all kinds of discussions were heard.
"Shi Qin?
He is Shi Qin? "
In the midst of the shock, someone suddenly shouted. Then, the remaining tens of thousands of people opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes fell on Qin Shi.
"Shi Qin?
Isn't that the person who destroyed the Shangguan Family not long ago?
That's impossible, right?
Why is he with the Shangguan Family again? "
"I don't know, but I heard that he refined the Six-patterned Magic Amulet in the Shangguan Family!"
"What?
Six-patterned Magic Amulet? "
When Qin Shi's identity was revealed, the eyes of the Zhao Family disciples were filled with shock. They suddenly understood why their Patriarch had said that they could not afford to offend this person.
Qin Shi did not care about the discussions around him. He tilted his head and smiled at Cheng Xu, "Senior Cheng, why are you in such a hurry?"
Cheng Xu's murky old eyes were tightly knitted together. Although he had only used fifty percent of his strength in that palm strike, with his strength of a half step into the Heaven Realm, he would definitely be able to instantly kill an ordinary mid stage Cryptic Spirit Realm cultivator. But it had been blocked by Qin Shi?
And he had blocked it so calmly.
"Kid, you're asking for death if you block my way!"
Cheng Xu put away his disdain, and the wind generated from his palm slammed down on Qin Shi's chest like a piercing sword.
Bang!
Qin Shi knew that this was not the time to dodge, so he took the attack head-on. His fist missed Cheng Xu's, and both of them took a few steps back at the same time. However, Cheng Xu immediately rushed in front of him like a phantom and slashed down again.
Focusing his black pupils, Qin Shi rapidly dodged to the side. In the next instant, a strange purple-coloured fire whistled out from his palm. Under the influence of the dense Spiritual Energy from the blood pool, three Golden Light Śarīras rapidly condensed. With a visible green hurricane, they pierced towards Cheng Xu's chest.
The three golden lights broke through the wind, and the wild spirit energy within them caused a rare look of wariness to appear on Cheng Xu's face. "Ha, spirit martial arts?
Interesting! "
"Break!"
Cheng Xu's old hand swept across his chest and formed a mysterious hand seal. Then, the spirit energy in his palm turned into a green viscous liquid, which transformed into a disgusting barrier and enveloped the three relics.
Bang!
The relics were enveloped by the viscous liquid, and the spirit energy compressed within them created a thousand layers of waves. The sudden airflow caused the liquid to expand, and in the end, it formed a rubber ball that was several hundred cubic meters in size.
The rubber ball continued to expand until the aftershock of the explosion dissipated, and then it deflated and landed on the mountain rocks on the ground.
"Old man, it's not over yet!"
Just as the three relics exploded, another three golden lights pierced out, causing Cheng Xu to lower his head in fear. In a panic, he threw out another three viscous green liquids.
Bang!
The golden relics were blocked once again, and a raging sandstorm appeared in front of the two of them. As the sandstorm surged, Qin Shi could not help but reveal a strange smile.
The strong vibration caused panic. "So strong!"
This level of fighting was not something that the people present could handle. Even Shangguan Ba, who was clenching his fists tightly, could not help but feel nervous.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a shadow flashed, and Qin Shi dragged his black robe and rushed into the sandstorm. In an instant, he was in front of Cheng Xu.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the sandstorm. Cheng Xu was puzzled, and he was stunned for a moment. With killing intent, he mocked, "Brat, that attack just now had already exhausted your mental energy. You are courting death if you dare to come near me now!"
After saying that, he raised his palm, and a turbid dark green spirit light slammed towards Qin Shi like a surging python.
"Did it run out?
Try it! "
Staring at the poisonous palm that was aimed at his forehead, Qin Shi did not retreat, but advanced instead. Veins popped up on the hand in his sleeve as he faced the attack.
Seeing this action, the crowd was shocked. "Is this brat crazy?"
"He is so close, he is dead for sure!"
Shangguan Ba and the rest, who were at the back, could not help but worry. Xiao Mi Cai, who had an impulsive personality, raised her rosy clouds and was about to rush forward.
Yu Luocha reacted quickly, and she grabbed onto Xiao Mi Cai's hand.
"Sister Luocha!"
Yu Luocha shook her head at Xiao Mi Cai and said nervously, "Believe in him, he is not a reckless person."
The few of them were worried, and they stared at Qin Shi.
The poisonous snake-like palm wind was getting closer to Qin Shi, and in the blink of an eye, it was only inches away from him. In the next instant, a green light flashed in Qin Shi's black eyes, and he could not help but reveal a strange smile. "God Word Art!"
Circulating his spiritual energy, and the spirit energy in the spirit crystal in his dantian became restless. It flowed along his black blood vessels and surged into his sea of consciousness.
Under the release of the six golden relic, his depleted spiritual sea of consciousness churned, and with the injection of pure spirit energy, it was like a ferocious tiger pouncing on its prey. It dispersed the spirit energy into the Mystical Palace Ancient Formation, and the dim sea of consciousness lit up again.
"Great Relic Art, seventh relic!"
A golden light flashed in his clear black eyes, and under the golden light, Cheng Xu could clearly feel that the mental energy in Qin Shi's body had recovered slightly. He said in astonishment, "Mental energy recovered?
How is this possible? "
"You just realized it?
It's too late!
Condense! "
Purple flames danced in his slender palm as if it had fallen into a snake's mouth. A relic that emitted a bright golden light condensed in his palm, and with a bang, it collided with Cheng Xu.
Boom!
With a loud sound, the ground of the mountain suddenly collapsed like quicksand, and it continuously gathered between the two of them. Thousands of feet of smoke rose into the sky.
The crowd retreated in shock. "What happened?"
"Who won?"
As they stared, there were two loud bangs, and the two figures retreated 10,000 meters from the sand at the same time, landing in the Blue Dragon Sect and the Shangguan Family respectively.
They stared at the two of them in astonishment. "Tie, tie?"
"It's a tie?
This kid tied with Cheng Xu? "A choked voice came from his mouth, and the crowd felt their bodies heat up and shiver.
Family Master Zhao's eyes flickered, and he could not help but feel lucky.
"Little friend!
How are you? "Shangguan Ba and the others went up to support Qin Shi worriedly.
The Sweet Pouring Rain Mantra grew in his blood, and it was as if he had just entered spring. Life spread out in his body and quickly gathered in his palm. Then, he shook his head gently. "I'm fine."
He straightened his back and did not say anything else. He just stared in the direction of the Blue Dragon Sect.
Bang!
With a loud sound, Cheng Xu straightened his body, and green spirit light shone from his body. As it surrounded him, everything within a circular area of 1,000 meters was corroded by a sticky liquid.
He panted harshly, and there was a gash on his palm. Strange purple flames occasionally danced on the wound, and he flew into a rage. "Boy, how dare you injure me!"
"As expected, I can't?"
Qin Shi was not surprised, and he smiled wryly. It seemed like the strength of this person who was half a step into Heaven Realm was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
