Qin Shi furrowed his brows as he felt a chill on his back. Without the demonic blood, even if he circulated the Divine Word to the extreme, his cultivation was only at the peak of the Cryptic Spirit Realm. In this situation, there was an insurmountable gap between him and Xue Bin, who had touched the second layer of the Thunder Calamity Seal, in terms of speed and strength. He hurriedly took two steps forward, barely dodging the sharp fingertips.
How would Xue Bin be willing to give up such a great opportunity when his attack missed? His foot stomped on the empty air, forming circular ripples that were like water ripples. Immediately, he suddenly increased his speed. His two fingers were like a mountain and river that tore apart the air within the Elder's Hall in an overbearing manner.
His fingertips cut through the black robe, constantly approaching Qin Shi's chest. Xue Bin revealed a cold smile, "Tch, without external help, it seems that you're only so-so!"
Xiu!
At this moment, Qin Shi suddenly stopped running and flipped his body forward. His palm changed, and a cold sword aura pierced out from his chest.
The D shaped black light fell towards the center of Xue Bin's brows.
Bang!
Xue Bin did not expect that Qin Shi would suddenly counterattack and swiftly change the direction of his finger to face the oncoming attack head-on.
The D-shaped sword aura collided head-on, and the sword aura shattered like a pebble.
"Tch, can't even withstand a single blow!"
Xue Bin sneered in disdain. His face turned ferocious, but just as he was about to step forward, his expression changed, revealing a hint of shock.
Shattered?
The D-shaped sword aura didn't dissipate in the air. Instead, a large amount of corrosive aura burst out. Like a ferocious beast, it wildly pounced towards Xue Bin, wrapping around his finger.
"Corrosive power?
This is … the capital's Three Great Divine Weapons, the Netherworld Sword? "Xue Bin's pupils trembled as he stared at Qin Shi in confusion.
"You know your stuff!"
Holding the Netherworld Sword in relief, Qin Shi secretly rejoiced. Previously, during the Honorary Competition, he had considered that Xue Bin, as the Imperial Teacher's son, might recognize the Netherworld Sword, which was why he didn't use it.
But now, there was no need to worry too much. From his point of view, Xue Bin had to die today.
Before he died, he had to say a few things.
When the Netherworld Sword suddenly appeared, Xue Bin did not dare to rush forward. His expression was one of shock, and a chill flashed in his eyes. "Hmph, although the Netherworld Sword is strong, I remember that the Half-Dao Spirit of the Netherworld should still be in the Royal Capital, right?
Do you think that just by relying on a half weapon spirit, the Netherworld Sword can defeat me? "
"Why don't you just try?"
Qin Shi shook his sore arm, and a strange fierceness flashed in his dark eyes.
Squinting his eyes, Xue Bin moved a little from both sides. His eyes were fixed on Qin Shi's black robe, and he was calculating in his heart, "The Empire has been searching for the Netherworld for decades. If I can get it back, then even if I can't conquer the eastern region, I can still make up for it."
When he thought of this, he shifted his gaze towards Qin Xue Xin who stood by Yu Qing's side. Her long blue hair that was like a waterfall had always been a barrier in his heart.
"It seems that I have to find a way to capture Shi Qin alive and use him to threaten this blue-haired girl."
Xue Bin's expression changed, and an idea came to him. He put his hands on his chest, and gradually became serious, "Shi Qin, you do have some ability, but you are still at the Cryptic Spirit Realm. You are not my opponent!"
"Seizing the Heavens Palace!
Cast! "
Suddenly, his palms formed a seal, and on Xue Bin's chest, a dot of light continuously intertwined, forming a transparent palace. The palace was about the size of a palm, and it floated in the air. The terrifying power contained in it caused the spirit stone walls of the Elder Pavilion to shake, as if they were being sucked in by a terrifying force, and gathered towards the palace.
Looking at the palace, Qin Shi felt an indescribable heaviness in his chest, as if he was being crushed by a huge boulder, "What a powerful force!"
"It's the power of the palace!" Qin Xue Xin's face paled, and she shouted in panic, "Shi Tou, dodge!"
"Dodge?
Hehe, it's too late! "
Xue Bin dragged the palace with both hands, and a surging flame burst out from it, as if it was alive. It wrapped around his body like a fire dragon, and covered him in a layer of high-temperature armor, increasing his strength by several times.
"This power … isn't spiritual energy?"
Staring at the armor of flames, Qin Shi took half a step back. He could clearly feel that the power within the raging flames was not ordinary spiritual energy, but a strange power that constantly exuded a terrifying might.
Xue Bin laughed wildly, "Shi Qin, you can't be thinking that the difference between the Heavenly realm and the Cryptic Spirit Realm is as simple as the difference in spiritual energy, right?
You're too naive! I'll show you the most fundamental difference between the Heavenly realm and the Cryptic Spirit Realm! "
Whoosh!
Xue Bin's speed suddenly increased by dozens of times. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed the hundred meter distance between him and Qin Shi, and appeared in front of Qin Shi out of thin air.
His palm changed direction, and he punched Qin Shi's chest.
Rumble!
Before Qin Shi could react to the blow, he was sent flying more than a hundred meters away. With a bang, he smashed into the plaque in the Elder Hall, breaking it in half.
In the next instant, before Qin Shi could get up, Xue Bin had already leaped behind him, and a palm full of flames came crashing down.
Focusing, Qin Shi quickly turned around and barely dodged the palm, but he didn't have time to think. The next palm came crashing down at lightning speed, and it was less than an inch away from him.
Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Qin Shi was once again sent flying into the wall on the left side. The sturdy wall made of spirit stones caved in, forming a deep pit.
Crashing onto the ground, Qin Shi struggled to get up. Gritting his teeth, he stared at Xue Bin anxiously, "What's with this strange power?"
Qin Xue Xin clenched her fists as she looked at Qin Shi. She wanted to step forward a few times, but every time she took a step forward, Qin Shi would stare at her with a determined gaze, making her feel helpless.
She understood Qin Shi. The latter had his unique stubbornness. In this kind of situation, she couldn't make a move, or Qin Shi would definitely be angry at her.
"Demonic Spirit Amaterasu!"
In a moment of desperation, Qin Shi didn't dare to be careless. He quickly formed a hand seal, and a black sun shot out. The candlelight in the Elder Hall was immediately devoured by the darkness.
Thousands of pitch-black rays of light, like sharp swords, fiercely rushed towards Xue Bin.
"Tch, you overestimate yourself!"
Unexpectedly, Xue Bin didn't dodge the black swords. When the black light approached his body, it was ignited by the flames on the armor and dissipated.
"Ineffective?"
This scene completely shook Qin Shi's heart. Demonic Spirit Amaterasu was a rank seven martial art, but it couldn't even hurt Xue Bin?
How could this be?
Qin Shi couldn't understand. If Xue Bin had such a terrifying technique, why didn't he use it in the Honor Competition?
In other words, there must be a flaw in this technique, and it couldn't be used casually. But what was this flaw?
The power of the Demonic Spirit Amaterasu was completely dissipated under Xue Bin's evil smile. Step by step, he inched closer to Qin Shi, "Keke, surprised?
Don't be surprised. As long as you are in the Spiritual Realm and use normal spiritual energy, you will never be able to hurt me! "
"Spiritual energy?"
Indifferent. Xue Bin's words suddenly enlightened Qin Shi.
Suddenly enlightened, Qin Shi looked down at his five fingers as Xue Bin approached. He muttered, "So, normal spiritual energy won't work?"
"Then I won't use spiritual energy. I'll crush you!"
Suddenly, Qin Shi raised his eyes and his body suddenly flashed to the side. He actually took the initiative to rush towards Xue Bin.
This scene not only confused Xue Bin, but also Qin Xue Xin, who was far away, became nervous, "Shi Tou!"
"Attack first?
Pfft, are you ready to give up now? "Looking at the approaching Qin Shi, Xue Bin did not dodge. The corners of his mouth curled up and he laughed coldly.
"Give up now?
Hehe, not really! "
When he was five meters away from Xue Bin, the light from the fire shone on Qin Shi's face, revealing a frightening strangeness. His five fingers suddenly spread out in front of his chest, and six flames leaped out, "Great Relic Mantra!"
Buzz!
The six flames floated within the Elder's Cabinet, and in an instant, the entire Elder's Cabinet became bright. Then, the air around it was swallowed up by the flames, and like a hurricane, it compressed continuously. Finally, it gathered into six blinding golden Relics.
"This is … Spiritual Martial Arts?"
Under the shroud of the golden light, Xue Bin's previous carefree expression was replaced by shock. He revealed a bit of horror and quickly flew backwards.
Previously, during the Honor Competition, he only knew that Qin Shi had some spiritual energy, but he did not know that Qin Shi's spiritual energy cultivation was so high. He did not think that Qin Shi would also have a Spiritual Martial Arts.
"As expected!"
Xue Bin retreated, and he was even more certain of Qin Shi's thoughts. He quickly controlled the six Relics, and they flew out in six directions, enveloping Xue Bin in one fell swoop. "Break!"
Boom!
With a loud bang, the six golden rays shot down. The Raging Flame Armor, which was previously undamaged by the Demonic Spirit's Amulet, had six holes pierced through it.
The Raging Flame Armor was damaged, and Xue Bin trembled violently. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, as if he was being reeled from a cocoon.
"The seventh ray, Golden Light Relic!"
The attack was effective. Qin Shi stretched out his palm, and a Relic that was even more dazzling than the previous six appeared in his palm. He used all his strength to hit Xue Bin's chest.
Rumble!
Before he could react, Xue Bin's face twitched, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through the wall of the Elder Cabinet.
"Young Master Xue Bin!"
Yu Qing shouted from behind, and he raised his old body, wanting to rush forward. However, just as he took a step forward, the space in front of him shook a little, and an ice mountain appeared. Qin Xue Xin said coldly, "Shi Tou said that he doesn't want anyone to disturb him, so you better stay here, or I will kill you."
As the words were spoken, the temperature in the air dropped rapidly, and a few white snowflakes condensed. Under Qin Xue Xin's threat, Yu Qing clicked his tongue, and he did not dare to move.
Bang!
Xue Bin flew out from the Elder Cabinet, and his face was pale. He stared at Qin Shi with bloodshot eyes, and said, "You planned to use your spiritual energy to destroy my palace?"
"Hehe, I have to thank you for reminding me that I can't use ordinary spiritual energy." Qin Shi added fuel to the fire, and he laughed lightly.
"You …" Xue Bin gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Good, good, good, I underestimated you. This time, I admit defeat, but don't be too proud. This Red Flame Empire will belong to Prince Fang Heng sooner or later. At that time, both Lin Yu and you will become stray dogs!"
