Sensing the strangeness of his surroundings, Qin Shi frowned. With his current observation ability, those noisy noises naturally could not escape his ears. Thus, he lowered his head with interest and looked at Li Minghao. He wanted to see just what kind of person this devil incarnate, who caused everyone to feel fear and panic, was.
However, when his gaze landed on Li Minghao, he couldn't help but be stunned. This Li Minghao was actually a seventeen to eighteen-year-old kid. He looked fair and clean and wasn't as despicable as what the crowd said. Even when he was knocked to the ground, there wasn't a hint of anger on his face. Instead, he looked at Qin Shi and giggled foolishly.
"Hey, little brat, don't you even look at people when you walk?
Don't you know that you knocked into my daddy?
Quickly get up and apologize! "Xiao Mi Cai shouted out arrogantly from the side.
Not knowing why, when he heard Xiao Mi Cai call Li Minghao a little brat, Qin Shi couldn't help but want to laugh. This little brat still dared to talk about others. Wasn't he also a little brat?
However, he didn't say anything and just shook his head at Xiao Mi Cai. Shortly after, he extended his hand towards Li Minghao, "Little brother, are you alright?"
"Hehe, hehehe, this is fun, this is fun!"
Li Minghao acted as though he didn't see Qin Shi and was playing happily on the ground. Not only did he not grab Qin Shi's hand, he flipped himself up and took a few steps back before rushing towards Qin Shi.
Qin Shi's eyes sharpened when he saw this. Before he could dodge, Li Minghao knocked into his embrace and fell to the ground.
This time, Xiao Mi Cai was really anxious, "Hey, little brat. My daddy was kind and didn't want to fuss with you. Why are you going from bad to worse?"
As she shouted, Xiao Mi Cai raised her hand and was about to attack Li Minghao.
Qin Shi's eyes were sharp and he quickly grabbed onto Xiao Mi Cai. Only then did he stare at Li Minghao with rapt attention. He couldn't help but frown. He realized that Li Minghao seemed to have some problems, and it was a mental problem.
At this moment, the panting sound that had been heard on the street before rang out again. An old man in a linen robe passed through the crowd. He saw Li Minghao lying on the ground at a glance and his old eyes became anxious. "Young Master!"
Immediately, he staggered forward and hugged Li Minghao. "How are you?
Are you hurt anywhere? "
"Let go, let go of me. This is fun, I want to continue playing!"
Li Minghao struggled, not knowing what was right or wrong. In the end, he even burst into tears. His two legs kept moving.
Pasta?
Ow?
You're fainting?
Dead Foundation
This caused the old man to raise his head. When he saw Qin Shi, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. "Brat, are you crazy?
How dare you block my young master's way? "
Originally, Qin Shi didn't want to cause trouble, but when he heard the old man's voice, his face showed some displeasure. It was obviously Li Minghao who hit him. Was there any justice in this world?
"Hey, you old man, do you know how to speak human language?
How come your hair has turned white after living for so long?
Don't you know anything?
This brat was the one who hit my father, and now you are complaining? "Xiao Mi Cai pinched her waist and said angrily.
The old man glanced at Xiao Mi Cai in disdain. "Where did this silly lass come from? You have no right to speak here. Shut up!"
After saying that, he waved his withered hand and an illusory pattern was shot out. The moment it landed on Xiao Mi Cai's lips, the screaming Xiao Mi Cai was instantly silenced. She opened her mouth with all her might, but she couldn't say a single word.
"Silence Art?"
Silence Art wasn't a high level martial arts, but it was extremely complicated to cultivate. Thus, very few people were able to learn the profoundness of it. This caused Qin Shi to turn solemn.
With her mouth sealed, Xiao Mi Cai's explosive temper naturally couldn't tolerate it. Seeing that it was useless to open her mouth, she decided to use her body language.
"You don't have a good memory!"
But just as Xiao Mi Cai took a step forward, the old man's eyes turned cold. He waved his withered hand and a flowing light flashed between his fingers, pressing down on Xiao Mi Cai's forehead.
The flowing light was extremely thin, but the power behind it was extremely strong, causing Xiao Mi Cai's beautiful eyes to turn pale. But in the next second, a black shadow flashed and protected her from the front.
Lightning surged in Qin Shi's palm and clashed against the old man's flowing light.
Boom!
Instantly, a huge shockwave was formed on the street. At the point where their palms clashed, a bottomless ravine appeared on the ground. The ravine extended out for over a hundred meters, and even the surrounding walls crumbled into dust.
"Si, what a terrifying power."
Looking at this scene, the surrounding peddlers revealed a shocked expression. One must know that the walls were made of spirit stones and mystic crystals. The toughness of the walls was similar to the Black Tortoise's armor. An ordinary heaven-realm expert's attack wouldn't even be able to leave a mark on the walls. But now, with just a casual attack from the two of them, the walls were turned into dust?
This time, the peddlers who had scolded Qin Shi earlier all covered their mouths. They knew that Qin Shi's identity wasn't ordinary and all of them took a few steps back, afraid that Qin Shi would direct his anger onto them.
But as the palm wind continued to clash, Qin Shi's black eyes sank. To outsiders, it might seem like the two of them were just casually attacking, but only he knew how much strength he had used in this attack. From the start, he was just casually attacking. But now, he had already exhausted 80% of the strength in his body. He had even used the God Character Formula, which was why he wasn't pushed back by the old man.
"Peak of Eight Heavens?
This old man actually possesses such a terrifying power? "Qin Shi's heart was filled with shock.
When Qin Shi suddenly blocked the attack, the old man in linen also looked at Qin Shi in surprise and said with a mocking smile, "Haha, little guy, you're quite strong, aren't you?
I didn't expect you could block my palm. "
"Haha, senior, you flatter me. I was just lucky."
Although he was shocked, Qin Shi naturally wouldn't show it on the surface. He pretended to be relaxed and smiled at the old man.
"Lucky?
You can block my palm just because you were lucky? Are you mocking my old bones?
Then let's see if you can block my second palm. "
The old man's tone suddenly turned stern as he retracted his palm, causing Qin Shi to lose his balance. After which, he took the opportunity to raise his hand and slapped down on Qin Shi's forehead.
Qin Shi felt a chill in his heart. Luckily, he was of the lightning attribute and his body was extremely agile. He didn't dodge this attack like the old man. He lowered his head and the old man's palm wind brushed past him. The cold wind caused by the palm wind cut across Qin Shi's cheek and a drop of fresh blood flowed down. This caused Qin Shi's heart to be filled with lingering fear.
"Yayaya, you dare to injure my father? I will fight it out with you, you old fart!"
When Xiao Mi Cai saw that Qin Shi was injured, the aura around her body suddenly changed. A rainbow-colored radiance soared into the sky and forced the Silence Spell that she was using to retreat. With a shout, she charged towards the hemp clothed old man.
When Qin Shi saw the situation, he instantly became anxious. He stomped on the ground and grabbed onto Xiao Mi Cai's collar, pulling her back, "You are not his opponent. Stay here and don't move!"
"Daddy!"
"Have you forgotten what I said?"
Qin Shi glared at Xiao Mi Cai. Only then did Xiao Mi Cai cover her mouth. Her small eyes cautiously looked around, causing Qin Shi to smile bitterly.
Qin Shi wiped away the blood on his face and raised his head, "Haha, looks like this junior has barely dodged senior's second palm."
"Hmph, lightning attribute. I have indeed underestimated you."
The hemp robed old man squinted his eyes and when he said those words, most of his attention was placed on Little Mi Cai. He thought to himself, "This lass is interesting to be able to break my Silence Spell. That seven-colored power shouldn't be from a human but a desolate beast?"
However, he did not say much. Instead, he turned his head and said to Qin Shi, "Brat, I will not make things difficult for you. You blocked my young master and caused him to fall twice. Now that you have blocked two of my palms, we can be considered to be even. However, your words just now angered me, so you still want to block one more palm. If you block it, then I can treat it as if nothing happened today. However, if you cannot block it, then become a dead soul under my palm."
Qin Shi was stunned. What the hell? What logic is this?
Before he could react, the old man had already moved. Before Qin Shi could even speak, a heaven-shaking force pressed down on his head, causing his legs to sink. That force was no longer something that a peak eight heavens could handle. Instead, it was nine heavens?
"Damn it!
Wasn't that the old man's full strength?
What the hell is this? "
Qin Shi regretted bringing Xiao Mi Cai out. Wouldn't it have been less troublesome if they had just rested in the inn?
However, it was too late to say anything now. The old man's strength was too strong. It was impossible for him to avoid it. He could only bite the bullet and face it head-on. Fortunately, the old man was only a nine heavens cultivator. If he was a Heaven Crawling Realm expert, it would be troublesome.
"Since senior has said so, this junior can only comply."
Qin Shi's silhouette blurred as he pulled Little Mi Cai back a hundred meters. Shortly after, he flipped his palm and a gentle force sent Little Mi Cai away from his side. Then, he quickly formed seals with his hands and complicated runes shot out from his palm.
"Divine Character Art!"
"Tempered Divine Body Art!"
"Fallen Star Tyrant Body Art!"
"Chaotic Saint Spirit Body!"
"Divine Character Art: Reversal!"
"Relic Legacy!"
A golden pagoda rose from the ground with a rumble, rising from beneath Qin Shi's feet. The golden pagoda flickered with an extremely dazzling light towards its surroundings. This should be Qin Shi's highest defensive state at the moment.
Bang!
Crack!
But even so, the golden pagoda's light had yet to spread and it shattered in front of everyone's eyes. It turned into dust and withered in the cold wind.
The old man's palm wind continued and pierced through the golden pagoda towards Qin Shi.
Bang!
The palm hit Qin Shi's chest fiercely. Qin Shi could only feel his internal organs churning. The strength of the attack shocked him and he was sent flying. He rolled a few times in the air before he managed to stand firmly on the ground. A stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
"Daddy!" Xiao Mi Cai shouted in shock.
