Qin Shi and Hong Lingtong sped through the obstacles along the way. All the barriers were useless against Qin Shi's Soul Power, and they were all pulled out by him.
Kong Xianhui's eyes flashed and her cherry lips opened and closed a few times as she asked in surprise, "Qin Shi, where did you learn your mastery of the Spirit Formation?"
"This?"
Qin Shi smiled, "I learned it from a girl I love deeply. Compared to her, I'm just a dabbler."
"Dabbler?"
Kong Hyun-hui's mouth twitched a few times. Qin Shi's ability with barriers was simply heaven-defying. Looking at the eight regions, there were probably less than five people who could reach Qin Shi's ability. But he was just a dabbler?
"Evildoer!"
Kong Hyun-hui scolded angrily, but she couldn't help but think in her heart: Who are the three women beside Qin Shi?
But when she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. How could a woman who was worthy of Qin Shi have a simple reason?
"Forget it, let's break through quickly."
The two of them increased their strength again. The five thousand broken dragon balls in Qin Shi's hands were like cannonballs from a machine gun, piercing through the barriers one by one. Any formation core that was seen through by him would be pierced into a sieve in the next moment.
"Another five thousand meters, we will be able to break through the last twenty barriers." Kong Hyun-hui said in surprise.
But suddenly, before Kong Hyun-hui's voice faded, Qin Shi's body stiffened, and he stopped in his tracks. His expression suddenly turned grim.
Just as the lily-white hands pierced through the barriers in front of them, Kong Hyun-hui looked at Qin Shi in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Squeak!
Qin Shi clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were still looking forward. Panic and suppression flashed across his calm black eyes, "It seems that it won't be so easy for us to leave."
"Hmm?"
Kong Hyun-hui frowned in astonishment. She raised her head and turned to look at the outer barrier. Her jade-like face instantly froze, revealing a hint of disbelief. "This, this is Realm Teleportation?"
Not far away from the two of them was a huge crack in space that looked like a tunnel. It appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.
"Tsk tsk, little kids, to be able to reach this place, you guys are already quite capable. However, this is as far as you can go."
In the Void Tunnel, there was a hearty laughter. An elder with a head full of hair slowly walked out. Qin Shi's face darkened when he saw this elder. He also knew this elder. His name was Du Kang, and he was also one of the six elders.
Looking at Du Kang, Qin Shi smiled mockingly. "Two Realms. The Chaotic Realms has really invested a lot in me this time."
"There's no other way. You're the only variable that we can't control. Who knows what tricks you'll play this time, so it's better to be more prudent."
Du Kang didn't lie. Since the last war in the Inner Area, Qin Shi had brought them too much trouble. Originally, Qin Shi was the most insignificant one in their plan. They didn't expect him to become the biggest variable.
First it was the Evil Demon, then it was the Eight Desolation. They didn't want to miss another opportunity.
"So, should I feel honored? After all, you think so highly of me?"
Qin Shi sneered, but his face was very ugly. This time, he didn't have the Evil Demon or the Eight Desolation to help him. He and Kong Hyun-hui couldn't possibly be Du Kang's opponent.
"You can understand it that way. You've really impressed us, but that's as far as we can go."
Du Kang shook his head and glanced at Kong Hyun-hui. Greed flashed across his eyes. "Interesting. Both of you have the Ancient Virtual Body?"
Du Kang stretched out his withered hand and grasped at Kong Hyun-hui. "Since there are two of me, I'll keep one. It shouldn't be too much!"
"Virtuous!"
Qin Shi's eyes were about to crack. Kong Hyun-hui was in danger, so he didn't dare to think too much. He quickly approached Du Kang. "Old fart, let me fight you!"
Lightning suddenly occupied half the sky. Du Kang glanced at Qin Shi, his eyes filled with disdain and ridicule. "Where's that ferocious demon brother of yours?
Was he seriously injured last time?
Without him, you wouldn't be able to make any waves. "
Then, he flicked his finger and a fierce metal storm shot towards Qin Shi's left shoulder.
Qin Shi glared and instantly turned to the right. When he looked up again, he found that the metal storm had changed its course and was stabbing towards him again.
Bang!
He didn't even have time to react. His shoulder was pierced and blood flowed out. He flew out and fell to the ground.
"Undeserved strength!"
Du Kang laughed mockingly. Soon after, his large hand moved horizontally and forcefully pressed downwards. Qin Shi only felt an enormous pressure coming from above him, forcefully embedding him into the ground. He did not even have the strength to stand up.
"Lie on the ground for a while. I'll come back to deal with you after I strip this little girl of her Ancient Virtual Body!"
Du Kang sneered. He raised his other hand and clenched it towards Kong Hyun-hui. Five extremely mysterious forces pierced towards Kong Hyun-hui. These five forces locked onto her soul and were about to strip Kong Hyun-hui's soul.
"Virtuous!"
Qin Shi roared angrily. A deep sense of powerlessness exploded from the bottom of his heart.
He was too insignificant in front of a Domain. Even if he had many trump cards, it wouldn't work. He could only watch helplessly as he was trampled on like an ant.
"Old man, you can't touch my woman."
Just as Du Kang approached Kong Hyun-hui, an extremely strong spiritual pressure descended from the sky. Yu Wenshang cupped his fists in a dignified manner. His entire body was wrapped in a long white robe as he slowly descended.
Boom!
Yu Wenshang's palm strike caught Du Kang off guard. He took a few steps back. They were both at the Initial Domain Realm, but the purity of Yu Wenshang's power was even higher than Du Kang's.
"Yu Wenshang!"
Qin Shi's tensed heart relaxed inexplicably. He knew that Kong Hyun-hui would be fine now that Yu Wenshang had appeared.
"Are you alright?" Yu Wenshang asked concernedly as he supported Kong Hyun-hui.
Kong Hyun-hui met Yu Wenshang's gaze. Her All Seeing Eye was a little unfocused and blurry. After a long silence, she shook her head quietly. "I'm fine."
"You've suffered for the past three years. I know you won't forgive me, and I've never asked for your forgiveness. I only hope that I can do something for you within my capabilities." Yu Wenshang took a deep breath and said, "Leave the rest to me."
He strode forward and used his own strength to block Du Kang. Instantly, he was like an indestructible shield.
Du Kang's face darkened. "Yu Wenshang, I let you off last time, yet you still dare to come out. Do you not want to live anymore?"
"Live?
I've never thought about it! "
Unexpectedly, Yu Wenshang laughed domineeringly. "I already said that even if I die, I will save her life. Since I didn't die last time, I will use this life of mine to save her!"
These simple words fell on Kong Hyun-hui's delicate body. She couldn't help but tremble slightly. Qin Shi noticed her strange reaction. He straightened his body and said, "That's enough. Forgive him."
"If it wasn't for him last time, we wouldn't have survived. He really loves you. I don't need to say what he's thinking. I'm sure you know it yourself. You just can't get over the hurdle in your heart. But seeing that he risked his life to help us these few times, you should forgive him."
"That's right, sister-in-law!"
Wu Ning, Zhao Xin, and the other two rushed over.
The four of them guarded Kong Hyun-hui firmly in the center.
"Big Brother has really sacrificed a lot for you. When we just rushed over, he even told us that if he were to die, we must save you at all costs. Moreover, he was the one who begged us. He begged us!"
Clang!
Kong Hyun-hui's heartstrings trembled again. The word 'begged' was like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.
Yu Wenshang, the genius of the past, the one who had always been high and mighty in her memory, the prideful eldest disciple of the Chaotic Lands, had never begged anyone for anything. But for her, he actually said the word 'begged'.
She was shaken.
Qin Shi patted her shoulder. "Give him one more chance. Trust him one more time."
"Phew …!"
Finally, Kong Hyun-hui loosened her grip on the hem of her clothes. She nodded slightly. "If we can get through this, I will forgive him and give him another chance."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Wu Ning happily danced in a circle, her two jade-like hands covering her cherry lips as she shouted with all her might, "Eldest Martial Brother, did you hear that? Eldest Sister-in-law said that as long as you can get through this, she will give you another chance!"
Immediately, Yu Wen Shang, who was fighting Du Kang in the blink of an eye, suddenly stiffened as if he had been electrocuted. After a long time, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile and he murmured, "Has this day finally come?"
"Kid, you're distracted!" Du Kang shouted angrily. With a wave of his hand, three golden blades appeared. "Leave your puny life here!"
Suddenly, Yu Wenshang raised his head. His eyes were unprecedentedly clear. He smiled. "That won't do. I'll take back what I said just now. Since she is willing to forgive me, I can't die here!"
Boom!
Suddenly, Yu Wenshang raised both of his hands. Flames that could burn the heavens burned around him, forming a sea of fire. He formed a seal with his hands, and a golden pattern appeared in the fire.
"The one who should die is you!"
"Vajra Life Taking Scripture!"
The Inner District Contribution House's fourth martial art, a low-class Manifestation martial art, shot out like a tiger's roar towards Du Kang. The power was so strong that Qin Shi felt that it was several times stronger than when he was in the Inner District.
Boom!
A golden pattern appeared. It was a few hundred meters tall. Du Kang's face contorted beneath it. He cursed. "Damn it. You actually cultivated this martial art to this level?"
The Vicious Demon had once said that the Vajra Life-Stealing Scripture was an extremely violent martial art. It would damage the enemy by 1,000 and oneself by 800. However, from Yu Wenshang's appearance, it seemed like he had not suffered any backlash at all. He had ferociously sent out that powerful shockwave.
"Is this the power of love?"
Qin Shi could not help but laugh. He was genuinely happy for Kong Hyun-hui. He hoped that these two ill-fated couples would be able to find a happy ending.
Hopefully, they would be able to get through this.
