Xing Moyuan was instantly embarrassed. The expressions of the countless disciples behind her changed. Some of them didn't know how terrifying the black market was. They stepped forward and tried to circulate their spiritual energy. "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of?
Why don't we just capture him? "
Bang!
But spiritual energy flowed through their veins. The disciples' faces immediately turned red. They were suppressed by the power of the black market. Explosions rang out one after another as their bodies exploded.
"What a reckless fellow."
Qin Shi shook his head. These kinds of hotheads were only suitable to be cannon fodder.
As expected, the rest of the disciples immediately became vigilant. No one dared to circulate their spiritual energy recklessly.
"Idiots, don't move. There's a domain here. If spiritual energy comes from outside, you'll be pushed aside and die!" Xing Moyuan warned.
After understanding the situation, the crowd stood rooted to the spot, staring at the shameless Giant Rock in the center. There was nothing they could do about it.
Xing Moyuan clenched her teeth. Three disciples followed behind her. They were very delicate and pretty, unlike the other disciples of the Genesis Team.
Qin Shi could see something different in their eyes. There was an indescribable sense of freedom in their eyes. Furthermore, they weren't panicking because of the domain. They just had their arms crossed and wore faint smiles on their faces.
Qin Shi trembled violently. He could feel a sense of terror from these three people. This feeling was just like … Yes, it was just like when he was facing Ren Guodong.
"He's at the Heaven Fate stage?" Qin Shi asked in surprise.
Kong Hyun-hui frowned when she saw the three of them. "It's the three of them?"
"You know them?" Qin Shi asked curiously.
"Yes …!"
Kong Xianhui nodded her head in alarm. Soon after, she took a few steps back and purposely hid her body in the darkness. Only then did she relax her hand a little. "Among the three of them, the one in the middle is the original leader of the Creation Regiment. His name is Gao Deng. He entered the inner district five years ago and is a very talented fellow. His cultivation should be at the fifth level of the Heaven Realm, right?"
"So he's the leader of the Genesis Team?" Qin Shi's eyes widened.
"Yes, the two people beside him are called Hao Gang and Xu Jingbo. They are also the upper echelons of the Original World Team. Their current cultivation bases aren't lower than the third level of the Sky Peak Realm. This group of people entered the inner region with Xing Moyuan's support, so they are very respectful to her. This time, it should be Xing Moyuan who invited them." Kong Xianhui explained in a low voice.
Qin Shi came to a sudden realization. Amidst his shock, an unprecedented nervousness exploded from the bottom of his heart. This nervousness did not come from the suppression of Spiritual Energy, but from the suppression of his mind. It caused him to suddenly look to the side. His black eyes pierced through the crowd and landed on a figure that had been quiet since the beginning.
This figure was wrapped in a gray cloak, and his appearance could not be clearly seen. However, from his slightly hunched back, Qin Shi could determine that this was an old man who was over fifty years old, in his seventies.
However, he couldn't feel the slightest vicissitudes of life from this old man. Instead, his spirit was abnormally vigorous, like the sun that had just risen at dawn.
Amidst his shock, the old man actually raised his head slightly, and a gaze that was like a dagger shot towards Qin Shi. It was as if it had pierced into Qin Shi's heart, causing Qin Shi's black robe to tremble violently, and he took a few steps back.
In that short moment of contact, Qin Shi's back was covered in cold sweat.
"What a terrifying sense of oppression."
He took a few deep breaths and hurriedly looked away.
He could feel a power even more terrifying than Gao Deng's from this old man.
"He's also here?" You Qing and the others' expressions changed when they saw this old man. Their eyes turned red and killing intent rose from all directions.
Qin Shi asked in a low voice, "Big Brother You Qing, just what is this old man's background?"
You Qing gritted his teeth and looked like he wanted to tear this old man to shreds. He cursed, "He's the current Chief Talisman Demon Master of the outer region, Deng Kai!"
"He's Deng Kai?" Qin Shi was shocked.
"Three years ago, he and Xing Moyuan framed the previous Chief Talisman Demon Master and sent Daoist Golden Eagle to trap me in the Wild Enchantment Night."
Kong Hyun-hui also disliked this old man. "This person is extremely sinister. He's the kind of person who eats people alive without spitting out their bones. Moreover, his mental cultivation is extremely powerful. It's said that a few months ago, he broke through to become a Nine Trace Talisman Demon Master. His status in the Chaotic Realm is very high. He's not someone Xing Moyuan can look down on."
"Nine Trace?"
As a Talisman Demon Master, Qin Shi knew better than anyone how terrifying a Nine Trace Talisman Demon Master was. It was definitely not someone at the Nine Heavens Realm could look down on.
One had to know that he himself wasn't that scary. What was scary was the Devil Talisman in his hands and the huge faction behind him that was willing to risk their lives for him.
"She even invited him here. Xing Moyuan is really going all out this time. But it's no wonder. If he can't take down Ju Yan and enter the Outer Realm, he won't have many years left," Shen Fengchun scolded unhappily.
The few of them felt depressed. They weren't as relaxed as before.
"It seems that Xing Moyuan has made ample preparations this time. It'll be a little difficult for us to interfere."
You Qing sighed and shook his head. He looked at Qin Shi. He was afraid that Qin Shi would stir up trouble again. He warned, "This matter ends here. Don't go any further."
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. Even though he didn't want to give up, he still had to consider the bigger picture. In the end, he reluctantly nodded.
As time passed, Xing Moyuan and the disciples of the Genesis Team gradually lost their patience. They were completely infuriated by Ju Yan's shamelessness.
Gao Deng took a step forward and said coldly, "Elder Xing, don't waste time with him. Ask Senior Deng Kai to forcefully take him away."
"That's right. If this goes on, when will it end?" Hao Gang and Xu Jingbo said unhappily.
Xing Moyuan hesitated for a moment. She nodded and looked at Deng Kai. "Can you do it?"
Deng Kai, who had been silent all this while, straightened his back. His sharp eyes scanned the black market and he raised three fingers. "Three minutes."
"Three minutes?" Xing Moyuan clenched her teeth and agreed. "That's enough!"
Hearing this, Deng Kai raised his hand. His movements were very clean and without the slightest bit of sloppiness. A golden glow appeared around him. Qin Shi could feel it from afar. This golden glow was all soul power, extremely pure soul power.
There was an innate resistance between soul power and spiritual power. Once the former appeared, the pressure in the black market visibly weakened. Deng Kai took advantage of this opportunity and clenched his fist. The golden soul power was like a balloon. It expanded a few times and reached a translucent halo of nearly a hundred meters.
Enveloped by the halo, the disciples of the Genesis Team clearly felt more relaxed. The pressure from the black market had been pushed away. Xing Moyuan's eyes narrowed and she shouted at Gao Deng and the others, "Now! Do it!"
Gao Deng's eyes flashed fiercely. Three layers of vortexes formed under his feet and he closed in on the huge rock. "Hmph, you've been shameless for so long. Isn't it time for you to be shameless enough?"
Gao Deng stepped forward. Hao Gang and Xu Jingbo attacked one after another. Palace armor covered their bodies and illusory wings appeared on their backs. With a powerful flap, even the air was shattered. They surrounded the huge rock from both sides.
Boom!
The black market was instantly filled with light and shadows. Many of the black market's citizens were shocked and hurriedly put away their stalls and pushed away the central aperture.
Rumble!
Explosions rang out one after another, and the ground of the black market trembled.
Gao Deng, Hao Gang, and Xu Jingbo were very strong. Every punch and palm was earth-shattering. Qin Shi and the others couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.
Cultivators of the Heaven Boundary Stage were really too strong. They couldn't be compared to those at the peak of the Nine Heavens.
However, the three of them seemed to have forgotten about Giant Rock's original identity. One should know that Giant Rock was once a disciple of the Inner Domain of the Chaotic Zones. He was a monster who was second only to Yu Wenshang. Could his cultivation be weak?
The answer was obviously no.
Three dazzling flames reflected in their eyes. Giant Rock, who had been sitting on the ground, raised his head and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Haha, three little guys who don't know how to respect their seniors. No matter what, I'm still your senior brother. Is it appropriate to fight me with weapons?"
"You're about to die, and you're still in the mood to laugh!"
Gao Deng mocked. His figure was like a ghost. He circled around Giant Rock three times in a breath's time and reached out from the raging flames to grab Giant Rock's back.
Bang!
And at the same time, Ju Yan finally moved. His body was like a hill as he rose from the ground. He glared at Sikong Lingnan, and his wild aura was a hundred times stronger than when he forced Sikong Lingnan to retreat. The ground of the black market shook violently, and a hundred-meter-thick boulder rose up to meet Gao Deng's palm.
Rumble!
The fiery palm and the boulder collided. Two shocking forces exploded in the black market. The residual power immediately tore the space apart and formed a huge black hole as the two of them stared at each other.
Everyone was shocked. "Heaven Boundary Stage Seven?"
Qin Shi smacked his lips. This strength should be comparable to Zhao Xin's, right?
He could be considered one of the best people he had ever seen in his life.
Kong Hyun-hui wasn't surprised. She nodded. "Giant Rock's talent can definitely be ranked in the top hundred in the eight regions. He stepped into the Heaven Boundary three years ago, and now he has only reached 70%. His progress is very slow. I think if it wasn't for the accident three years ago, he should be like Yu Wenshang, trying to break through the shackles of the domain realm."
At this point, Kong Hyun-hui looked at Gao Deng and the other two mockingly. "Gao Deng and the other two overestimate themselves. The three of them have been doing well in the inner region for the past three years. They can be considered to be doing well. With the resources in the inner region, their strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. However, compared to Giant Rock, there is still a big gap. This gap is definitely not acquired. It should be the grace of nature. The talent that the heavens gave to Giant Rock is far from what ordinary people can make up for."
Qin Shi looked at Giant Rock meaningfully. If Kong Hyun-hui gave him such a high evaluation, then Giant Rock's strength was really not small.
"This is interesting."
