The loud and clear voice pierced through the clear skies, reverberating unceasingly. The entire mountain valley seemed to have brightened because of this voice. Regardless of Chi Yan, Beast King, Qin Sect, all the disciples from the various powers all inclined their heads upwards. After that, the expressions on their faces froze.
A thin and weak figure stood in the sky with his hands behind his back. His black robe fluttered gently in the cold wind, and the most terrifying thing was that the ferocious white tiger was just a thousand feet away from his forehead. However, for some reason, the white tiger no longer had the deterrence it once had in the eyes of the crowd. Instead, it was like a white kitten that was caught in someone's hand. It kept struggling, but no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't fall.
Soon after, the figure flicked his finger lightly, and a beam of light pierced through the space between the white tiger's eyebrows like an eagle soaring through the sky.
Bang!
"Roar!"
The white tiger was hit and instantly roared like it had gone mad. Then, it was actually shattered by the beam of light?
"Gulp …!"
As soon as the white tiger was shattered, the entire sky became silent. Other than exclamations and the sound of throats moving, there was no other sound. Everyone was dumbfounded.
The all-out attack from a Seven Heavens Realm cultivator was destroyed just like that?
The silence lasted for a good while before Qin Tianqing and the rest came back to their senses. They panted heavily. Now, even a fool could tell that they were saved.
After that, everyone recalled the voice of the figure just now.
Daughter?
Little Mi Cai's father?
Could it be him?
A thought rose in the hearts of countless people. Qin Tianqing raised his head and stared at the figure. Even his body froze. That familiar figure, that familiar face. It was the same as when he had just left home. However, on that youthful face, there was more determination and determination. There was also a sense of vastness that shouldn't belong to his age. From this, one could see what he had experienced in the past year.
"Shi Er …!" The two words were spoken in a hoarse voice. Qin Tianqing's eyes were moist.
Qin Shi's figure moved slightly, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Qin Tianqing. In this year, he had grown a lot taller, but he was still not as tall as Qin Tianqing. He was shorter by a centimeter.
Looking at the white-haired man in front of him, his father, even someone as resolute as Qin Shi was finally moved at this moment. His black eyes reddened as he choked with sobs, "Father …!"
As he neared, everyone looked at Qin Shi's appearance, as well as the halo and aura that could attract the attention of tens of thousands of people without doing anything.
In this one year, this little guy had really undergone a fundamental change. It was like the transformation that a young eagle would have to undergo. It would become a majestic eagle and soar through the Nine Heavens.
"Shi'er, is that really you?" Qin Tianqing still couldn't believe it.
Qin Shi nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's me, it's Shi'er. Shi'er is unfilial and came back late."
His mind was filled with scenes from a few years ago when he was in the Qin family. Qin Tianqing couldn't help but smile bitterly. The young man who still needed his protection back then was already able to take charge and protect him in the blink of an eye. He was already standing at the peak of this continent.
"Brother Shi'er!!"
"Shi'er, Sect Leader!"
Countless people shouted loudly. The depressed atmosphere suddenly became magnificent, and the situation of tens of thousands of meters changed dramatically.
Qin Shi's appearance seemed to be telling everyone from Scarlet Flame that they had already won this battle. After all, Qin Shi had brought them too many miracles.
"Stinking brat, are you finally willing to come back?" Pu Quan snorted from the side with red eyes.
Qin Shi turned his head and nodded at Pu Quan, "Yes, Master!"
"Haha, hearing these two words, everything seems to be worth it." Pu Quan laughed in satisfaction.
"Shi'er!"
Qin Private Yu, Su Ming, Yin Mo, and the others surged forward. As he looked at his old friends, a ripple appeared in Qin Shi's heart, but he did not say anything. He only patted Su Ming, Yin Mo, Qin Shang, and the others' shoulders, but that one pat contained too many emotions.
After that, Qin Shi turned his head and his gaze met the Lin Concubine's. The Lin Concubine stared at the black-robed young man and was slightly stunned. She smiled faintly, "Little boy, your growth in the past six months has exceeded my expectations."
"Haha, it's not just growth. The danger you will face will definitely exceed your expectations."
Qin Shi smiled teasingly. But even if it was just a tease, many people felt their hearts skip a beat when they heard it.
Everyone could guess that it wasn't easy for Qin Shi to get this year.
"Lin Concubine, thank you very much for helping the Qin Sect." After that, Qin Shi bowed to the Lin Concubine seriously.
The Lin Concubine waved her hand and smiled, "Firstly, I'm not helping you. I'm helping my silly sister and my stupid son. If I didn't stop him, he would have personally entered the battlefield.
Secondly, I never had the chance to thank you for helping the Hundred Tribes. This is what I should do. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi grinned and didn't continue the conversation. However, he was still very grateful to the Lin Concubine because he knew that in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, there was nothing that should or should not be done. Since the Lin Concubine could help him, he should be grateful.
Suddenly, he frowned and turned around. An extremely cold gaze was directed at him like a sharp blade. If Qin Shi's appearance caused the entire crowd to be excited, then the only person who did not reveal any joy and was filled with resentment was Hua Ling.
Hua Ling said coldly, "Qin Shi, I don't care how much you've grown in this year, but if anything happens to my sister, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost."
Qin Shi was slightly taken aback and laughed helplessly, "Palace Master Hua Ling is still so overbearing."
However, he immediately became much more serious. He covered his chest with one hand and said, "If anything happens to Yu Luocha, I won't let myself off even without you!"
"That's my wife!"
Hearing this, many people were shocked. However, there were also a few people who looked at him softly, such as Yin Mo and Luo Tingting from the Luo family.
A few years later, Luo Tingting was no longer the petite girl from back then. She had transformed into a slender and elegant beauty with long hair that reached her waist.
During this year, Luo Feng had tried to act as a matchmaker for Luo Tingting, but the latter's heart had long since been occupied by a man who'd saved her in a secluded forest. So no matter who it was, she remained indifferent.
However, she also knew that it would never be possible for her and Qin Shi to be together. She just wanted to watch from afar, and that was enough to satisfy her.
While Chi Yan's side was calm, the Beast Kings in the distance were shaken. Hu Xiao's old face darkened as he glared at Qin Shi.
Liu Changhu and the other Heavenly Realm powerhouses were the same.
They were all very curious about the identity of this youth. Why was it that the moment he appeared, Chi Yan's originally taut heartstrings that were about to snap suddenly relaxed? Moreover, everyone's faces were filled with a sense of relaxation and easygoing.
"Who are you, sir?"
The rough and heavy sound of the tiger's roar resounded in the air.
As soon as this voice rang out, everyone's eyes focused on Qin Shi. Ignoring the fact that Hu Xiao's target was Qin Shi, Chi Yan's side had already lost more than half of their men after the previous few exchanges. The only person who could possibly resist Hu Xiao's attack was Qin Shi.
However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Shi did not care about Hu Xiao's arrogance at all.
He ignored his surroundings and walked into the crowd of Scarlet Flame Army. He walked step by step until he was in front of Akai Mi. Looking at the wound on Akai Mi's shoulder that was still bleeding, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Daddy …!"
Little Mi Cai, who used to be rude and unreasonable, appeared to be very obedient in front of Qin Shi. She let out a soft cry and lowered her head, as though she was afraid that he would blame her.
Qin Shi could not help but smile bitterly. He stroked Mi Cai's hair and said, "What are you doing? I'm not blaming you. You did well."
"Really?" Mi Cai's eyes shone brightly, and her heart was stirred up again.
Qin Shi nodded his head in agreement. Then, his eyes turned ruthless as he turned to look at Hu Xiao and said coldly, "Tell daddy, who hurt you just now?"
"It's that old dog!" Mi Cai pointed at Hu Xiao and scolded.
"Him?"
Qin Shi smiled as though he had expected it. He said calmly, "Alright, wait here. Daddy will go and take revenge for you."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. When they came back to their senses, Qin Shi had already turned into a ray of light and appeared a hundred meters away from Hu Xiao.
Instantly, the army of Chi Yan gasped. Qin Tianyu and a few disciples of the Qin family were slightly worried, "Tianqing, can Shi Er do it?"
Everyone knew that Qin Shi's cultivation base would improve by leaps and bounds in this one year. This could be seen from how Qin Shi blocked Hu Xiao's attack. However, one year ago, Qin Shi was just a young boy who had just entered the Heaven Realm. It was impossible for him to grow to the point where he could withstand seven days of attacks in one year, right?
However, while everyone was worried, Qin Tianqing was extremely proud. He stared at Qin Shi and smiled as he nodded. "Don't worry. My son is definitely not an ordinary person. Since he said it, he will definitely be able to do it. I still have that bit of confidence in him."
Hearing this, a phrase that had once spread throughout Chi Yan rang in everyone's ears. Sect Leader Qin was a man of his word. Yes, since he said it, he would definitely be able to do it.
Qin Shi stood with his hands behind his back. His black eyes were indifferent and filled with killing intent. His gaze paused on Hu Xiao for a while, "Old man, were you the one who hurt my daughter just now?"
"Your daughter?"
Hu Xiao frowned and looked at Mi Cai. Then, he came to a realization and nodded, "Yes, so what?"
"So what?"
Qin Shi laughed softly. Before his laughter had even stopped, it was already filled with killing intent. The intense pressure caused everyone's gazes to be filled with shock and dissatisfaction, causing them to shiver.
Then, a few words were uttered indifferently from Qin Shi's mouth, as if they were playing it down.
