The earth shook violently, and before anyone could react to what was happening, several extremely terrifying spiritual pressures suddenly rose around the Bejewelled Magma Volcano.
Under the explosive spiritual pressure, the hurricane in the Withered Dragon's hand was scattered before it could even be unleashed, causing the Withered Dragon to be shocked. "What happened?"
The protectors standing beside him trembled and said, "I don't know, but it seems like a terrifying force is approaching. Could it be the Qilin Concubine and the Qin Sect?"
"Impossible. The western region is the territory of our Qing Luan School. If the Qin Sect and the Qilin Concubine's people are coming, the sect master must have informed us."
Mo Tianying shook his head and said, "Moreover, there are hundreds of heavenly realm experts in this force. I don't know which force in the Crimson Flame Empire has so many heavenly realm experts. It's impossible even for the empire."
"Then what's going on?"
For a moment, the protectors were in a panic.
Under such exaggerated fluctuations, Qin Shi remained calm and composed with his hands behind his back. A playful arc hung from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with ease. "After waiting for so long, it has finally come."
"Yes, it's a bit hard for Zhou Qin to control so many dire beasts," Jade In The Book replied.
"It can't be helped. The situation was urgent. If I commanded the dire beasts alone, the journey would have been delayed for a long time. I guess Little Yu would have been dead by then." Qin Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head, recalling the scene in the Blazing Ancient Pine Forest.
Back in the Blazing Ancient Pine Forest, he had managed to subdue hundreds of wild beasts through the Evil Spirit Qi. However, when he had just reunited with Zhou Qin, Zhou Qin's face was covered in tears as she knelt on the crimson lava rock mountain alone.
Even now, Qin Shi still remembered Zhou Qin's heartbreaking expression when she grabbed his wrist, "Shi Tou, Shi Tou, I beg you, you must save Yu. Don't let anything happen to him."
"What's wrong? Speak slowly." Qin Shi asked.
Zhou Qin sobbed, "I, I can sense it. It's Little Yu's palace. He must be in danger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have summoned his palace when he's only in the third heaven realm."
Frowning, Qin Shi used his mental energy to envelop the space of ninety by ninety thousand meters. The spiritual energy in this Bejewelled Magma Volcano was abnormally violent. He couldn't detect ordinary spiritual energy at all, but elemental power was another matter.
Soon, he noticed that Lin Yu had been forced into a dead end by the eight Protectors. In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to rush over first. That was why he gave the Desolate Body to Zhou Qin. Fortunately, he had left a wisp of Evil Spirit Qi for Zhou Qin.
With the baleful aura around, he was not afraid that these Desolate Beasts would not obey him.
Lin Yu didn't know what Qin Shi was thinking. He saw Qin Shi's happy and contented smile from afar. He understood Qin Shi very well. So, he stepped forward and asked, "Shi Tou, are you the one who made all this noise?"
"What else do you think?
Do you really think I'm stupid enough to come and save you alone?
If it weren't for the fact that we were lucky enough to kill two Protectors in the third heaven realm, we would have run away by now. "
Pulling back from his thoughts, Qin Shi curled his lips. What he said was true. When he killed Li Yan, it was because of a sudden attack. In addition, Li Yan's attention was on Lin Yu, so he had the chance to take advantage of it.
There was no need to mention the Scarlet Fiend Daoist. Killing Li Yan had some strength, but killing the Scarlet Fiend Daoist was completely out of luck.
If it weren't for the Evil Spirit Qi's heaven-defying suppression of wild beasts, how could the two of them be so relaxed now?
Listening to Qin Shi's analysis, Lin Yu agreed, "That's true, but what did you do?"
"Hehe, then don't worry about it. Just wait and watch the show." In response to this question, Qin Shi kept him in suspense. He raised his eyes and looked outside the raging flames.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a deafening roar of a tiger resounded at the foot of the mountain.
Following the roar, dust and sand began to rise from the ground a thousand meters away. Then, hundreds of flying and walking beasts, each baring their fangs, approached the group in a frenzy.
Mo Tianying's eyes widened. "A beast tide?"
"How can this be?
There are very few wild beasts in the Bejewelled Lava Volcano. This has never happened since Qing Luan School unified the western region! "
Ku Deng was terrified. The approaching wild beasts were all above the heavenly realm, and there were even a few that were nominated on the Ancient Ferocious Beast Ranking. Even he didn't have the slightest confidence in facing them.
Mo Tianying wasn't in the mood to answer Ku Deng's question. If these hundreds of wild beasts joined forces, they could probably flatten the entire western region. If they waited until they got close, it would be impossible for them to escape.
"Run!"
Mo Tianying didn't think of anything else.
"Big Brother, what about Lin Yu and Qin Shi?"
"Do you think they'll be able to survive the Beast Tide?
Even if they do, as long as they dare leave Bejewelled Lava Volcano, our Qing Luan School's army will be stationed outside. When the time comes, only death awaits them! "Mo Tianying tensed his nerves and was the first to flee toward the periphery of the volcano.
They exchanged a look. With their lives on the line, they couldn't care less about Qin Shi and Lin Yu anymore. They followed Mo Tianying's footsteps and fled into the distance.
Noticing this scene, Qin Shi frowned, "Trying to escape?"
Then, he raised his hand and shot out five golden rays.
A sudden pressure came from above. Mo Tianying looked up and swiftly summoned the azure demonic disk. "Qing Luan's Killing Method!"
Bang!
There was a loud explosion as the demonic disc and the golden light waxed and waned. Lin Yu, who was at the side, sensed it. He raised a finger and charged down.
Heavenly Incinerating Steel Finger! "
Rumble!
The giant finger crushed down and smashed a pitch-black hole in the center of the demonic disk.
With the demonic disk destroyed, Qin Shi and Lin Yu rushed forward side by side and blocked Mo Tianying's path of retreat. "Hehe, Enforcer Mo, don't be in such a hurry to leave. The game has only just begun."
Currently, only Mo Tianying and Ku Long were left on the Qing Luan Sect's side. It was obvious that they didn't have the strength to defeat Qin Shi and Lin Yu.
Putting aside the fact that Lin Yu's cultivation was above Mo Tianying's, just Qin Shi alone was enough to give them a hard time. Although Qin Shi was only at first level heaven realm, he could kill Luan Muhua when he was still at the cryptic spirit realm. Now that he was at the heaven realm, it wouldn't be difficult for him to delay them for a while.
With no other choice, Mo Tianying growled, "Qin Shi, Lin Yu, don't go too far. The beast tide this time is extremely terrifying. If we wait for it to approach, none of us will survive."
In the face of Mo Tianying's howl, Lin Yu felt a little guilty. After all, he'd never seen such a huge dire beast horde before.
However, Qin Shi was laughing loudly at the side. He glared coldly. "Is that so?
If that's what you think, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. "
"Hmm?" Mo Tianying was taken aback.
"Turn around and take a closer look." Qin Shi raised his hand and pointed at the beast tide in the distance.
The Qing Luan School members didn't understand at first, but the moment they came to their senses, they froze on the spot. At the very front of the beast tide, a red cheetah leaped into the air. The spirit aura of a second heaven realm was overbearing as it threw its head back and let out an ear-piercing roar.
"Roar —!"
The roar was deafening, but that wasn't the reason why they froze. The real reason was that a young girl was sitting on the back of the red cheetah.
The girl was delicate but not charming. Wasn't she Zhou Qin?
"Zhou Qin?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but murmur. He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
Compared to Lin Yu's joy, Mo Tianying and the others' hearts sank. "How, how is this possible?
Kid, did you attract all these dire beasts here? "
Qin Shi shrugged, tacitly agreeing to Mo Tianying's question. This time, Mo Tianying and the others fell into despair. Their eyes widened and they felt powerless.
At this moment, Mo Tianying finally understood why Qin Shi had been so carefree since the beginning. It turned out that he'd already planned for them.
"Big Brother, what should we do?" Ku Long was no longer as arrogant as before. He looked like a frightened bird as he asked in a trembling voice.
Mo Tianying ignored Ku Long. He panted and calculated the number of dire beasts that were thousands of meters behind them. He suddenly turned around and glared at Qin Shi. He said in a low voice, "Brat, I don't know how you're controlling these dire beasts. However, I believe that once you're dead, these dire beasts will automatically disperse, right?"
"So what?
So what if I'm not? "Qin Shi smiled casually.
"So what?
I'll kill you! "
Mo Tianying clenched his teeth, and a surge of Three Heavens Energy surged into the sky like a terrifying wave. He roared at Ku Long and the others beside him, "If you want to live, follow me and kill this brat!"
"Yes!
Kill him! "
The few Elders looked at each other and agreed.
Now, they only had two choices. They could either kill Qin Shi and force the dire beasts to retreat, or they could wait for the dire beasts to approach and die.
Obviously, none of them wanted to die.
"Shi Tou!"
Lin Yu shouted in a low voice. He raised his sleeve that was pierced with the golden dragon and aimed a finger at Mo Tianying's forehead.
"Ku Long, stop Lin Yu!" Mo Tianying roared without turning his head.
The Withered Dragon arched his waist and stood up without any hesitation. He swept past the raging flames in the sky and sent out a palm strike towards Lin Yu. The palm wind carried an intense green demonic disc: "Qing Luan Killing Art!"
Rumble!
The finger and the demonic disc collided, creating a shockwave.
Lin Yu cursed inwardly, "Damn it!
Get out of my way! "
Then, he tried to break through Ku Long. However, Ku Long was even more direct. He used his own body as a barrier to block his way. He did not dare to be careless and raised his hand to attack, "Bone Dragon Heavenly Strike!"
Bang!
With a wave of his sleeve, the white powder that filled the sky was crushed into fine powder by Lin Yu. When he wanted to go around again, Ku Long came out of nowhere to block him.
The withered dragon's spirit energy was inferior to Lin Yu's, but he was trying to stall for time and did not want to fight Lin Yu head on. When the attack rose, he immediately retreated, and when Lin Yu wanted to go forward, he rushed forward again: "Don't even think about going over, your opponent is me. Just watch from here and see how my big brother kills that brat."
After a few exchanges of attacks and defense, Lin Yu was extremely vexed: "You're courting death!"
"Tsk tsk, angry?
Don't worry, my big brother is at the Three Heavens Realm, this stinking brat is only at the first level of the Heaven Seizing Realm, we will see the results very soon. When my big brother kills him, you won't have a good ending either. "
"Bastard!"
With a furious curse, Lin Yu almost went berserk. He could not watch Qin Shi get into trouble because of him.
BOOM!
However, right at this moment, a majestic tremor shook the heavens and shook the world within a radius of ten million meters. A golden figure of light broke through the clouds and tore through the space.
Space cracked, and a clear laughter echoed in the sky, "Haha, Little Yu, don't worry. He's right, we'll see the results soon."
