"Looks like I'll have to investigate Qing Luan School after this. I have a feeling that I'll be able to find some useful secrets from them."
Qin Shi would always be curious about anything related to the Primordial Era. He wanted to build a foundation and accumulate experience for his future battle with Group Bi.
"Of course, I should first deal with the problem at hand."
With a plan in mind, Qin Shi raised his head and stared at the ferocious Daoist Scarlet Fiend. He licked his chapped lips and sneered. "Now that you've mastered the Blood Curse Secret Art, let's start our counterattack. Since you're unwilling to be humans and insist on being beasts, I'll have no choice but to deal with you the same way I deal with wild beasts!"
"Fiend Totem!"
With that, Qin Shi raised his left hand high up. The sleeve of his black robe was swept up by a cool breeze, revealing the Fiend Totem with a hint of darkness.
When the totem appeared, a wild fiendish aura roared out from Qin Shi's arm like a giant tornado and collided with the Daoist Scarlet Fiend.
Rumble!
The two clashed, and the sky darkened.
The sudden change startled the Daoist Scarlet Fiend. He couldn't stop in time and clashed with the fiendish aura that filled the sky. In the next moment, he froze on the spot. His eyes widened as wisps of fiendish aura seeped into his body through his pores and slithered along his veins like venomous snakes.
"Ugh!
Brat, what did you do to me? "
The Daoist Scarlet Fiend trembled uncontrollably when the fiendish aura entered his body. He felt as if his entire body was being bitten by thousands of insects.
Staring at the Daoist Scarlet Fiend's strange behavior, Qin Shi shrugged with a smile. "Haha, I didn't do anything. I just wanted to teach you how to be a human."
"You beast!"
The Daoist Scarlet Fiend cursed. The moment he cursed, a wisp of fiendish aura suddenly discovered its prey in his body. It let out an excited roar and devoured a wisp of scarlet-green wild beast blood essence.
"Is this my Luan Feng blood essence?
No, give it back to me! "
Daoist Scarlet Fiend's facial features twisted as his blood essence was devoured. His burly body suddenly turned into an old man with a head full of beard and hair. He looked even more haggard than before he used the Luan Feng Eight Gates.
As the murderous aura returned, Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. He rolled up his black robe and charged at the Daoist Scarlet Fiend. "Hmph, it really is the Blood Curse Spell. Instead of being a human, you insist on being a beast. I'll fulfill your wish!"
Bang!
The Scarlet Fiend Daoist was sent flying hundreds of meters away with a golden gust of wind.
Mo Tianying and the others were shocked when they sensed Daoist Scarlet Fiend's abnormality. "Second Brother!"
Xiu!
Mo Tianying gritted his teeth and raised his hand to collide with Lin Yu's. He retreated and held the Scarlet Demon Daoist up. "Second Brother, what's going on?"
"Quick, stop the Eight Gates of the Luan Feng. The black mist that this kid is releasing can strip us of the Luan Feng's blood essence." Daoist Scarlet Demon used his last breath to grab Mo Tianying tightly.
"What?"
Mo Tianying's heart sank. He grabbed the Scarlet Demon Daoist Scarlet Demon's wrist, only to realize that the latter's body was long gone.
Mo Tianying ignored the Scarlet Demon Daoist Scarlet Demon's corpse in his arms and said to the other five protectors, "Stop the Eight Gates of the Luan Feng. Don't touch the strange black mist!"
"Hmm?" Ku Long was confused.
Before they could react, the ferocious murderous aura had already wrapped them up like a spider web. One of the protectors could not dodge in time. After being infected by the murderous aura, the blood essence in his body was instantly stripped away.
This person did not have a strong cultivation like the Scarlet Demon Daoist Scarlet Demon, so he turned into a dried corpse under the devouring of the murderous aura.
"Hurry up, it'll be too late!" Mo Tianying growled anxiously.
"Luan Feng Dust Seal!"
Ku Long and the others widened their eyes and realized the severity of the situation. They hurriedly bit their lips and sealed the blood essence in their bodies with a blood seal.
Buzz!
The Eight Gates of Luan Feng stopped, and the bestial nature of the few of them disappeared. The baleful aura that Qin Shi released also lost its target. It looked around the surroundings for a while, and then unwillingly floated back into the Demonic Totem.
Seeing that the six of them had recovered, Qin Shi smiled and said, "How is it?
At a time like this, do you think it's better to be human? "
"Brat, give me back my second and third brothers' lives!" Ku Long roared and charged at Qin Shi after stopping the blood essence.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Haha, looks like you didn't learn much from your second and third brothers. Are you in such a hurry to follow in their footsteps?"
Boom!
The sky exploded as Ku Long and Qin Shi clashed head-on. The pressure of a second-level Heavenly Realm expert surged out like a flood, spreading out in all directions with an unstoppable force.
After that attack, Ku Long controlled his Fierce Wind with one hand and stabbed it towards Qin Shi's forehead, "Stop talking nonsense. As long as I activate the Eight Gates of the Luan Feng, a first-level Heavenly Realm brat like you doesn't have the ability to talk to me like this."
"Skeleton Rising Dragon Strike!"
The hurricane danced; it was so fast that it left behind a white light in the sky. The white light quickly twisted into a huge dragon. The huge dragon had two sharp horns on its head. Each horn was piercingly cold as it rushed towards Qin Shi.
"Haha, is that so?"
Qin Shi laughed and moved his body slightly. He retreated a few steps along with the hurricane in front of him and stretched out his fingers, "Great Relic Technique!"
Boom!
The golden light and the wind dragon collided.
The Bejewelled Lava Volcano was heavily damaged, creating rolling mudslides. The lava in the sky seemed like it was going to pierce through the sky as it exploded continuously.
Bang!
The flames of war overlapped as the two of them retreated a few steps at the same time.
Mo Tianying and the others frowned, "Old Four is being suppressed by this brat?"
Lin Yu had been observing the two's movements. Looking at Qin Shi's contented expression, he said happily, "Looks like his growth in the past three years isn't any weaker than mine."
While feeling gratified, his gaze fell on the withered dragon, and the pupils on his handsome face suddenly shrank, revealing some shock. He growled in a low voice, "Shi Tou, quickly dodge!"
"Hmm?"
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment before he looked through the hurricane in the center.
He saw Ku Long holding a dazzling green light with both hands and roaring with a ferocious and excited expression, "Dodge?
Haha, it's too late. Brat, go to hell and apologize to my brothers. Qing Luan Killing Technique! "
Hum!
A green demonic disc condensed in Ku Long's palm wind and continuously spun, creating a monstrous hurricane.
The moment the demonic disc appeared, Lin Yu panicked. This was the attack that Mo Tianying had used before. Was he going to use it?
The Burning Heaven Steel Finger was barely able to block the attack. He exclaimed, "Shi Tou, get out of the way! You're not a member of the imperial family. You don't have a rank seven martial art.
Hearing this, Qin Shi lowered his head and clenched his fists. Suddenly, he smiled mysteriously, "Rank seven martial art?"
"Brat, he's right. Without a rank seven martial art, you won't be able to block Qing Luan Killing Technique!" Ku Long became even more excited as he took out the demonic disc.
"Dodge!" Lin Yu howled.
Suddenly, his black eyes widened. Qin Shi didn't dodge at Lin Yu's voice. Instead, he changed the two beasts in front of his chest into a black mark, "You might have forgotten something. Rank seven martial arts aren't limited to the empire!"
"Demonic Spirit Amaterasu!"
Indifferently, a wave of rough darkness burst forth from Qin Shi's hand seal. A black sun covered the sky, causing the light produced by the surrounding raging flames to dim somewhat.
The black sun formed into a thousand black rays.
The black rays were like thousands of evil dragons, crazily pouncing towards the green demonic disc. In less than half a second, the two exploded into fireworks in the air.
Boom!
The sudden fluctuation of spiritual pressure caused Lin Yu, Mo Tianying and the rest to widen their eyes: "This martial art, is it a rank seven martial art?"
"How could this be?"
Ku Long was dumbfounded when the demonic disc shattered, "Didn't they say that there are only three rank seven martial arts in the empire?
How did he get it? "
Mo Tianying's murky eyes suddenly narrowed as if he wanted to stand up, "Could it be … could it be him?"
"Him?" Ku Long frowned, "Big brother, you know him?"
Mo Tianying took a deep breath and said awkwardly, "Yes, he is the Qin Sect's sect leader, Qin Shi!"
"What?"
Ku Long and the others clicked their tongues, "Big brother, are you saying that this immature kid is the Qin Shi who defeated Luan Muhua and unified the northern region?"
"That's impossible, right?
How old is he? "The few of them said in disbelief.
Shaking his head, Mo Tianying said with certainty, "If I didn't have this move, I wouldn't dare to say it. However, do you remember the rank seven martial art that appeared in the eastern region a year ago?"
After thinking for a while, one of the protectors said, "I remember, that martial art came from the Wu Men Auction House and was taken by a kid called Shi Qin. Moreover, this kid called Shi Qin did great things in the eastern region later on. I heard that he is related to the Mystical Palace."
"Yes, I know about that too. However, what does this have to do with the Qin Sect's sect leader?" Ku Long nodded, then shook his head and asked.
Mo Tianying's eyes were heavy, and after a long while, he said seriously, "Not long ago, Empress Xiao Chong sent news … saying that the Eastern region's Shi Qin is the northern region's sect leader, Qin Shi!"
"What?
Is this true? "
The five of them stared at Mo Tianying and gritted their teeth.
Helpless, Mo Tianying closed his eyes and nodded, "It's true."
Gulp!
This time, no one doubted it anymore. After all, there were only four rank seven martial arts in the Crimson Flame Empire. Apart from the three great martial arts of the empire, there was only one left in the eastern region.
Thinking of this, the few of them asked nervously, "Big brother, what should we do next?"
"What should we do?
What else can we do?
Now that things have come to this, we can't let him leave alive. Otherwise, if the rumors are true, and the Qin Sect and the Mystical Palace join forces, I'm afraid our Qing Luan Sect will be destroyed, "Mo Tianying growled.
Ku Long's eyes widened. Only now did he realize the severity of the situation. He took the lead and mobilized the spiritual energy in his dantian, forming a hurricane that approached Qin Shi. "Brat, go to hell!"
Rumble!
At this moment, the ground within a thousand meters suddenly shook violently.
