"But if you want to take back the beast core from my hands, let go of my Imperial Advisor first," Hu Yan's gaze sharpened as he shouted at Qin Shi.
As the ruler of a country, his aura was extraordinary. Even Hua Ling, who was behind him, felt his aura tremble slightly. Instantly, it suppressed most of Qin Shi's momentum.
"Hu Yan has long been at the peak of the Seven Heavens. It's said that a few months ago, he already touched the threshold of the Eight Heavens. Facing him, it will be difficult for Qin Shi," the Lin Concubine said worriedly.
"Yes, we cannot be careless when facing Hu Yan. Senior Pu Quan, I'll have to trouble you later. If Shi 'er and Hu Yan fight, help him."
"Of course. He's not just your son, he's also the disciple that I, Pu Quan, am most fond of." Pu Quan became serious.
"Count us in. This concerns the safety of the Qin Sect, so the Qin Sect will definitely do our best," Ling Xiao said. Mo Chen and Xun's wife followed behind him.
"Qin Sect disciples, listen up! Prepare for battle!"
"Yes!" The people of the Qin Sect were like arrows on a bowstring, all of them ready to go.
And just at this moment, Qin Shi suddenly turned around. The actions of the crowd made him very touched. He smiled at the crowd straightforwardly. "Everyone, there's no need to be like this. You don't need to worry about this old guy."
After he finished speaking, boom!
Qin Shi fiercely turned around, and an extremely powerful force burst forth from his sea of consciousness. A faintly discernible phantom appeared behind him, like a huge creation imprint.
Staring at this scene, countless people held their breaths.
"This power, it's a Six Curse Talisman Master?"
Pu Quan's throat moved, and shock flashed in his old eyes. "I really can't believe it. In this one year, not only did this kid's spiritual power improve by leaps and bounds, his control over the soul is like a fish in water. He's actually reached such a level?"
The shock continued. Hu Xiao, who was in Qin Shi's hands, was in a daze. Only now did he understand that from start to finish, Qin Shi hadn't used his full strength against him?
Even Hu Yan was shocked to retreat a few steps under it. The aura that he had just shot out explosively actually came back at him in an instant. He fiercely opened his eyes wide: "Brat, you're not just at the Heaven Realm, you're actually a Soul Incantation Talisman Master?"
"If you don't want him to die, then let's exchange beast cores. You don't have the capital to bargain with me right now." Qin Shi smiled faintly. Ever since he defeated Sikong Lingnan, no one below the eighth day posed a threat to him.
Moreover, this Hu Yan was only just stepping on the doorstep of eight days and did not enter.
"You …!"
Hu Yan bared his teeth, but he immediately calmed down and smiled at Qin Shi. "Good, good, good. What an amazing little fellow. I'm indeed unable to threaten you now. I think that in the thousands of empires within a radius of ten thousand miles, there are only a few that can threaten you, but …!"
Speaking up to here, Hu Yan's expression suddenly became savage. His large hand fiercely gripped the beast core. "I heard that the Qin Sect's Sect Master dotes on your wife dearly. This beast core should be the only medicinal catalyst to save your wife, right?
If you don't want your wife to die a horrible death, let go of my Imperial Advisor immediately!
Otherwise, I'll crush it right now and turn it into dust that fuses with the heavens and earth. No matter how strong you are, I'm sure you won't be able to take it back from my hands in such a short amount of time, right?
Of course, if you want to try, I'll accompany you! "
Hearing this, Qin Shi's expression instantly darkened.
Qin Tianqing and the others behind him all cursed, "This old dog dares to use Rakshasa's safety to threaten Shi 'er. How despicable!"
"But there's no other way. This beast core is Rakshasa's only hope!"
In silence, Qin Shi continuously breathed in and out a few mouthfuls of impure air. Only then did he raise his head slightly. Instantly, his gaze shocked the tens of thousands of people. His originally pitch-black eyes actually emitted a fiendish red light that was filled with killing intent.
This time, he was truly enraged.
He stared fixedly at Hu Yan, lightning flashing under his feet. He was a thousand meters away from Hu Yan. To him, this distance was enough in half a second. However, after hesitating for a long time, he still let out a long sigh and shook his head.
He couldn't gamble with Yu Luocha's life. That was his wife, his child. He couldn't afford to gamble.
"Alright, as long as you give me the beast core, I can let go of your Imperial Advisor."
As soon as Qin Shi finished speaking, he waved his hand and a ray of spiritual energy wrapped around Hu Xiao's old body, sending him to a position a hundred meters in front of Hu Yan.
Then, another hand reached out from his sleeve. Qin Shi looked at Hu Yan and said sternly, "I'll give you the person, hand over the beast core!"
Hu Yan's eyes opened and closed, revealing a look of joy. However, unexpectedly, his hand suddenly exerted force. "Keke, little guy, even though you're very strong, you're still wet behind the ears in the end. You've been tricked!"
Instantly, a wild tiger head shot out from Hu Yan's palm and was about to forcefully crush the poisonous scorpion beast core.
"This bastard, he actually cheated!"
"Old dog, don't you dare!" Hua Ling shouted as if she'd gone mad. Disregarding the injuries on her body, her jade feet touched the ground and she was about to pierce through the sky.
However, just as she stood up, her beautiful eyes were slightly shocked and she stopped in an instant.
Xiu!
In front of her, a flash of purple lightning pierced through space and suddenly appeared in front of Hu Yan. Qin Shi's features were cold to the extreme. Even the air around him froze.
"You're courting death!"
Qin Shi reached out with his palm and with a bang, he struck Hu Yan's chest. Three spiraling purple dragons broke through the clouds and shattered the tiger head in Hu Yan's palm.
"Impossible!" Hu Yan was greatly shocked and suddenly took a step back.
"Want to run?
Leave the beast core first! "
Hu Yan had just made his move when Qin Shi had already expected it. With a flash, he blocked Hu Yan's path and extended his palm.
Hu Yan's old eyes widened. "So fast!"
The speed of the lightning attribute was not something normal people could imagine. In a panic, he raised the beast core and fiercely threw it behind Qin Shi. "If you want the beast core, I'll give it to you!"
Xiu!
The beast core flew past Qin Shi's ear. Only then did his lightning attack gradually stop. He turned around and sprinted towards the beast core, grabbing it in his hand.
"Finally got it."
Holding the beast core, Qin Shi's suspended heart finally relaxed. His eyes became much gentler. "Luo Sha can be saved."
After escaping from Qin Shi's palm, Hu Yan hurriedly panted a few times before stabilizing his aura. Raising his head, he looked towards Hu Xiao. "Uncle!"
With a xiu, Hu Yan supported Hu Xiao. What others did not know was that Hu Xiao was not only the Beast King's State Preceptor, but also Hu Yan's uncle. In the Beast King Empire, the Hu clan was the imperial clan of the Beast King.
"Sovereign, it's this subordinate's incompetence." Hu Xiao lowered his head towards Hu Yan.
Hu Yan shook his head. Shortly after, he viciously glared at Qin Shi. "It's not your fault. That brat is too strong. We all miscalculated."
Taking the beast core, Qin Shi calmed himself down. Afterwards, he did not chase after Hu Yan and Hu Xiao. Instead, he quickly returned to Qin Tianqing's side and handed over the beast core. "Father, I'll give this beast core to you. Bring people back to Chi Yan and give it to Luo Sha."
"You're not going back with us?" Qin Tianqing asked.
Hearing this, Qin Shi was silent for a while. His black eyes were filled with ferocity. He turned around and glanced in Hu Xiao's direction. "Mm, there are some things I haven't finished yet. Once I'm done here, I'll go back."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Then, they followed Qin Shi's gaze and saw Hu Xiao. Only then did they realize that Qin Shi had to do what he said.
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Tianqing let out a long sigh. He knew that he couldn't persuade his stubborn son, so he said, "Then be careful and come back quickly. Don't forget your promise to Luosha. Luosha needs you, and your mother misses you too."
"Father, don't worry. I'll be back soon."
After saying this, Qin Shi turned around and leaped into the air again. Staring at Qin Shi's movements, Qin Tianqing sighed. Then, he put the beast core into his bosom and raised his hand. "Let's go back!"
Everyone from the Qin Sect shot up and followed Qin Tianqing to Chi Yan's direction.
Watching his father and the others leave, Qin Shi gradually relaxed. Then, he turned around and smiled at Hu Yan. "Alright, let's settle our grievances together."
"Little guy, I've already given the beast core to you. What else do you want?" Qin Shi leaped back. Hu Yan was shocked.
"What else?"
Qin Shi smiled faintly. He pointed at Hu Xiao and said, "I've said that he must die today, so he must die."
"Brat, don't go too far. Even if your strength is outstanding and we aren't your match, it doesn't mean that I, a beast king, can be bullied by you. When a dog is anxious, it will jump over a wall. Don't force me!"
However, Qin Shi was indifferent. "I forced you. So what?"
"You …!"
Hu Yan finally couldn't take it anymore. He clenched his teeth and said, "Alright, little brat. You forced me to do this. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying this, he suddenly looked at Hu Xiao and the few powerhouses behind him. "Everyone, lend me a hand. Let's fight this brat!"
Hu Xiao clenched his teeth and was the first to leap forward. "Fight him!"
Then, the few powerhouses of the Beast King stepped forward one after another. Apart from these people, several more Seven Heaven Realms hurried over from afar. The group stood side by side behind Hu Yan.
More and more people gathered. In the end, there were nine Seven Heaven Realms. This lineup made even Qin Shi frown. Although this lineup couldn't compare to the eight regions, it was already very powerful for this small empire.
As the number of people increased, Hu Yan became more confident. He said to Qin Shi fiercely, "Little brat, you forced me to do this!"
"Everyone, get ready. Unleash the White Tiger True Form!"
Hu Yan was the leader of the nine. Then, his body suddenly bent down. His entire body emitted a dazzling white light.
"Profound Meaning of the Beast King — White Tiger True Form!"
"Profound Meaning of the Beast King — White Tiger True Form!"
Instantly, the nine powerhouses all shouted. Then, the nine of them actually did the same thing. They crouched down beside Hu Yan. A layer of white light enveloped the nine of them.
"Roar —!"
Then, the shocking roar of a beast resounded throughout the universe. The nine of them actually merged into one under the light. A giant white tiger thousands of feet long peeked out of the clouds.
