Hearing Qin Xue Xin's words, Qin Shi was slightly startled. He didn't know what heights Qin Xue Xin had reached in the past year, but judging from how she was able to push Hua Ling back with a single attack, she shouldn't be any weaker than Hua Ling.
"Be careful."
Because of this, he didn't insist on being stubborn and dignified as a man. He only murmured worriedly.
"Mm, wait for me."
Nodding, Qin Xue Xin retracted her gentleness and stared at Hua Ling coldly, "Did you hurt him just now?"
"So what if I did?"
"Then die."
Qin Xue Xin's eyes changed. Her hand turned dark blue and emitted a bone-chilling aura that condensed the moisture in the air. She then pierced through the air towards Hua Ling.
The icicle reflected a blinding light, causing Hua Ling's eyelids to twitch. A murderous intent rose in his heart, "Hmph, let's see if you have the ability to do so."
Bang!
In an instant, the confrontation began. From their expressions, it could be seen that neither of them had used their full strength. However, this kind of probing attack and defense was already enough to shake the hearts of the crowd below.
After more than a hundred moves, the two majestic spiritual pressures seemed to have pulled the clouds down from the sky, oppressing everyone to the point that they felt suffocated. This included the Elders of the Three Pure Ones, whose eyes were filled with shock.
Tai Qing focused his gaze, "Who is this woman?
How can she fight against the Palace Lord without losing?
Tell me, is this true or not? "
"In the entire Scarlet Flame Empire, no one can withstand a hundred moves from the Palace Lord. This woman is definitely not from the Scarlet Flame Empire."
With this thought, everyone shifted their gaze towards Qin Shi, "I didn't expect this kid to have such a powerful helper. No wonder he dared to come to our Mystical Palace alone."
Under the gazes of the crowd, Qin Shi leaned against the rubble as he clutched his chest. His gaze remained fixed on the tattered jade-blue figure in the sky as he helplessly muttered, "Haha, I had originally thought that I would be able to get closer to her after reaching the Cryptic stage. I never thought that the distance between us would still be so great."
A trace of bitterness climbed up. However, it was only for an instant before it was scattered by determination. Qin Shi once again ignited his confidence and decisively said, "Xuexin, there will be a day when I will catch up to you. After that, no matter if you have to face the heavens, the earth, or those blood-robed people, I will stand in front of you and help you shoulder everything."
"At that time, you just need to put down your burdens and be my, Qin Shi's, woman!"
The corner of his lips twitched, Qin Shi lowered his head and looked at his open palm. He sniffed his fingertip and couldn't help but laugh, "Moreover, it's only been a year and Xue Xin has become so beautiful. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I'll be drowned by all my love rivals before the blood-robed men make a move. Marrying a goddess is risky."
Boom!
A trace of coldness pierced through everyone's heart. The two figures continued to fight against each other, using all kinds of martial arts to hurt each other. After a while, the two of them were forced to retreat.
"Fourth Heaven Realm?
First Heaven Realm? "
Hua Ling steadied her delicate body. Even someone as arrogant as her couldn't help but have a serious expression. After a short test, she could tell that Qin Xue Xin's strength was the same as her. Fourth Heaven Realm, and in terms of spiritual pressure, Qin Xue Xin seemed to be slightly stronger than her.
Qin Xue Xin didn't respond to Hua Ling's question. She stood up and plunged forward again. Patches of dense snowflakes fell, and in the blink of an eye, the huge hall was covered in silver.
Bang!
Under Qin Xue Xin's ice, Hua Ling couldn't withstand more than a hundred moves. Very quickly, Hua Ling fell into a bitter battle. In the bitter battle, Qin Xue Xin raised her hand and froze the air into a sharp blade, piercing through Hua Ling's shoulder.
"Hmph, Hua Ling, Hua Ling, you never thought that you would have such a day, right?"
Looking at the red dot on Hua Ling's shoulder, Qin Shi couldn't help but gloat. However, after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.
Although Hua Ling almost caused him to lose his life, it was because she was worried about Yu Luocha. Therefore, she didn't deserve to die. Furthermore, whenever Yu Luocha mentioned Hua Ling, she would always be filled with joy. If Qin Xue Xin really killed her, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Yu Luocha.
"Sigh, forget it. I am a magnanimous person. But no matter what, let her suffer a little first. Otherwise, wouldn't she have suffered for nothing?
Moreover, if I don't let her be quiet for a while, I don't think she will listen to me seriously. "After thinking about it, Qin Shi decided to stop Qin Xue Xin at the last moment.
Boom!
As soon as the bright red blood flowed out, Qin Xue Xin turned over one of her hands and grabbed Hua Ling's shoulder. With just a gentle movement, the void space shook a little. She hit Hua Ling's chest with two consecutive cold palms. The palm wind passed through her skin and condensed pieces of ice. When the third palm fell, only a bang was heard. Hua Ling couldn't hold on anymore and was sent flying thousands of meters away into the rubble.
The sputtering dust and sand caused Qin Shi's expression to change. He thought to himself, "It's about time. If this continues, it will be troublesome if she really dies."
Thinking of this, he wanted to go forward to stop Qin Xue Xin, but he didn't expect that things would always go beyond his expectations.
Hua Ling's chest heaved up and down in the rubble, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Hmph, do you really think that I, Hua Ling, am a pushover?"
With a roar, Hua Ling suddenly opened her arms, and a terrifying aura surged out from her body in all directions.
Sensing the change of Hua Ling, many elders of the Xuan Palace suddenly tightened their bodies, "Is it … that move?"
"Oh no, the Palace Master is going to use that move?
Does she want to destroy the Xuan Palace?
Has she forgotten that when she fought with the former Palace Master 30 years ago, she used this move and put the Xuan Palace in a predicament? "
The strange aura was like a spiritual snake, winding up from under her feet and finally converging on Hua Ling's three thousand snow-white hair, like a flower growing in a quiet forest.
"Hundred Flowers, Wither!"
As the soft voice fell, the flower above Hua Ling's head suddenly burst and collapsed into thousands of withered leaves. The withered leaves caused the living beings within ten thousand meters of the Xuan Palace to be in misery and suffering. The flowers and grass withered, and even the falling snowflakes in the sky withered in an instant.
Panic suddenly spread, and the elders of the Xuan Palace roared one after another as if they had seen the most terrible thing in the world, "It's really that move!"
"Hurry up, tell the disciples to disperse, or we will all die here!"
In a panic, the crowd fled in all directions like crazy, but it was too late. The terrible space continued to spread around, and the ten thousand meters of the Xuan Palace became an absurd ruin.
In the deep pit below, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Xue Xin!"
With her hands behind her back, she stood alone in the air.
Qin Xue Xin looked at Hua Ling who was changing, and frowned slightly. Immediately, she didn't panic, but turned around and threw a warm smile to Qin Shi, "Shi Tou, do you believe in me?"
Qin Shi was stunned, and he clenched his fists tightly. Finally, he nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
He knew that Qin Xue Xin cared about each other more than herself, so as long as he was still here, Qin Xue Xin wouldn't be stubborn.
"Then wait for me!"
After getting the affirmation from Qin Shi, Qin Xue Xin smiled sweetly, and then immediately came to her senses. She took a deep breath and raised her hand above her head.
"Up in the sky!
"Underground!
"Only me!
"Ice Seal!
"Ice Seal Mysterious Domain!"
An ethereal voice murmured, and suddenly, a cold airflow rose between Qin Xue Xin's slender fingers. The coldness of the airflow froze the air between heaven and earth.
The fluttering snowflakes, the flowing airflow, and the withered leaves all froze in an instant, and the space within ten thousand meters became still.
Boom!
With a slight force, Hua Ling spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. All the power that was released around her froze in her body, causing her to stare at her palm in disbelief, "How, how could this happen?"
Many people came back to their senses and stared at the scene in panic, and trembled, "The flowers have withered?
The Palace Master, the Palace Master lost? "
Qin Xue Xin dragged her long skirt and landed in front of Hua Ling like an otherworldly fairy. She still looked indifferent, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"No, just kill me."
Hua Ling sat on the ground, and suddenly revealed a bitter smile.
"As you wish."
Nodding, Qin Xue Xin did not stop because of Hua Ling's pain. To her, since Hua Ling had hurt Qin Shi, she would definitely die. She raised her hand in the air, and a sharp ice sword appeared in the sky and stabbed at Hua Ling.
"Xue Xin, don't kill her!"
Qin Shi dragged his weak body and jumped into the deep pit to stop Qin Xue Xin. He stared at Hua Ling and shook his head helplessly, "Now, can you listen to what I have to say?"
"There's nothing to say. A loss is a loss. Just let her kill me. Luo Sha is dead, and my last pillar of support has collapsed. I can go to the Yellow Springs to accompany her," Hua Ling said in a self-mocking manner as he fell to the ground.
"I'm really impressed."
Qin Shi let out a long sigh and immediately raised the Nine Turn Exquisite Necklace in his hand. He said word by word, "Listen well. If you want to go to the underworld, no one will stop you. However, don't say that you want to accompany Yu Luocha. Even if you don't want to live, she still wants to live well!"
Hua Ling furrowed her brows, "What did you say?"
Ignoring Hua Ling, Qin Shi continued, "Also, if you want to die, wait until you see her before you die. Otherwise, you'll cause me trouble."
"She … she's really not dead?"
Hua Ling endured the pain and stood up. She then became sad and mocked herself, "Haha, so what if she's not dead?
She must hate me to death, right? "
Sensing the change in Hua Ling, Qin Shi frowned, "How do you know that she hates you if you didn't ask her?
I say, don't tell me you're used to using your own thoughts to decide others? "
"Haha, if she forgave me, why didn't she come to the Mystical Hall to find me?
Isn't that the best evidence?
Do I still need to ask? "
"Why not?"
At this moment, an apathetic figure walked through the crowd. Her long hair trailed behind her as she stared at Hua Ling with a sorrowful gaze.
Looking back, Qin Shi and Hua Ling couldn't help but shiver, "Luosha?"
Rolling her eyes at Qin Shi, Yu Luocha ignored him and walked to Hua Ling. Squatting down, she opened her arms and hugged Hua Ling. She whispered, "Why?
Why didn't you tell me?
Why do you have to bear it yourself?
Second brother is already gone. Does big sister not want Luosha anymore? "
Hua Ling's body trembled. She no longer looked like a Hall Master.
Instead, she looked like a panicked rabbit. She stared at Yu Luosha with her red eyes, "What … what did you call me just now?"
"Big sister!"
Hua Ling sat on the ground weakly, "Haha, I didn't expect to hear you call me big sister in this life … You don't blame me anymore?"
