"Jie Jie, little guy, it seems that your memory is not bad.
Three years have passed, yet you can still call out my name? "
Zhen Yuan sneered. Then, his eyes flashed fiercely. "However, you're not the only one who remembers it. Even now, I still clearly remember the grudge of my severed arm."
As he said this, he stared at the two extremely strange arms, and from time to time, his eyes flashed with hatred.
Qin Shi stood up. Zhen Yuan was the first fiendish devil he had ever met. He was the fiendish devil from Group One, and also the one who had left the deepest impression on him. He still remembered the first time he had met Zhen Yuan in the Burning Sky Sect, when he had been driven out of the northern region, and the second time, when Feng Hen had been captured in front of him, and how powerless he had felt.
"Why are you here?" He said coldly.
"Hehe, is this strange?
Do you really think that you can destroy the Smelly Lung Soul so easily?
And then everything is over?
Why don't you use your brain and think about it, is this realistic?
The resurrection plan that our Puppet Group has been planning for thousands of years, how can it be easily destroyed by a little kid like you? "
Zhen Yuan sneered disdainfully, and then he turned back to look at the shriveled Smelly Lung Soul and frowned, "But I have to say, you injured the Smelly Lung Soul to this extent, it is indeed beyond our expectations. I thought that the Smelly Lung Soul could devour that kid's soul, and then when its power is full, we can call it back. Now it seems that we have to plan ahead."
And in the face of such mockery from Zhen Yuan, Qin Shi did not have the time to think at all. Seeing Zhen Yuan, the first thing he wanted to ask was the whereabouts of Feng Hen. He almost lost his mind and took a step forward, shouting angrily, "Zhen Yuan, where is Feng Hen?"
"Feng Hen?
Oh, right, you mean the kid who is the host of the Heaven Demon Venerable's soul?
Hehe, don't get too excited, don't worry, he is still alive. Before the resurrection plan is completed, his life will not change. However, I think it will be soon. I have heard a lot of news about you in Puppet Group, and I heard that you have always wanted to save him, right?
Hehe, let me tell you, that is impossible! "
"I will kill you!"
Qin Shi waved his hand, channeling his demonic power, and shot it towards Zhen Yuan.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuan waved his two sinister giant hands and caught Qin Shi's attack with his bare hands. This was something neither Qin Shi nor the Blood Shaman had expected.
"How, how is this possible?"
Qin Shi's eyes were filled with shock. Before he could react, Zhen Yuan had already raised another strange hand. He struck out with all his might, aiming for Qin Shi's chest.
Bang!
Qin Shi was sent flying hundreds of meters away. He spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
"Kid, are you alright?" the Blood Shaman asked worriedly.
Qin Shi shook his head and gritted his teeth. "I'm fine."
"Pfft, kid, you're curious, right?
Why can I block Devourer's attack? Let me tell you, this is all thanks to you. You destroyed my arms, which gave me the opportunity to be used by Puppet Group. Puppet Group attached a new arm to me, which was left behind by the three great demons who fought against Shrouding Heaven Demon Venerable. Although it is not as powerful as Devourer, it is enough to suppress Devourer before it fully recovers. "
Zhen Yuan laughed maniacally. Following that, his eyes turned ruthless. He waved his palms continuously, and a few waves of energy viciously whipped Qin Shi's body, causing burning pain to spread throughout Qin Shi's body.
"And let me tell you, this is not all. After I successfully fused with this pair of arms, Puppet Group's internal division personally gave me a blessing. Take a look at what this is." After saying that, Zhen Yuan stopped his attacks, and a protective talisman appeared in his hand.
Seeing the talisman, Qin Shi did not feel much, but the Blood Shaman's eyes were focused. "This, this is a Guardian Talisman?
This Zhen Yuan has actually been promoted to a Guardian? "
"Guardian?"
Qin Shi was slightly taken aback. That was an existence comparable to Guardian Li. He frowned. "Heaven Sea Realm?"
"Keke, that's right. I've already reached the seventh level of the Heaven Peak Realm. It won't be long before I reach the Domain Realm. At that time, I might even become a Demon Arrow." Zhen Yuan laughed maniacally.
When Qin Shi heard that laughter, he felt a strong sense of danger. The seventh level of the Heaven Peak Realm?
That had already exceeded the limits of what he could resist.
However, just at this moment, Zhen Yuan suddenly stopped. He smiled mockingly at Qin Shi, "However, little fellow, you don't have to be afraid. I'm not here to take your life today. Your life is too insignificant compared to the Heaven Shrouding Demon Exalt's stinky lungs. However, you must remember that one day, I will personally return the debt of my severed arm to you. Ten times, no, a hundred times."
Zhen Yuan coldly cried out. Only then did he suddenly turn around. With a wave of his hand, the Smelly Lung Soul that blotted the sky was sucked into his hand. Soon after, he waved his hand with great force, tearing the vast space apart as his body disappeared from within.
Throughout the entire process, Qin Shi lay on the ground powerlessly. He didn't even have the strength to stop Zhen Yuan. Just like three years ago, he could only watch helplessly as Zhen Yuan took away Shrouding Heaven Demon Venerable's Stinky Lung Soul.
* Bang! *
That unwillingness turned into anger. He punched the ground and roared at the sky, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Little fellow, calm down. Don't lose your mind!" The Blood Shaman advised.
But at this moment, Qin Shi could not hear anything. He rolled on the ground in pain. His eyes were filled with blood vessels as he said in a trembling voice, "Once, twice, why, why is it still the same for the third time?
Why?
I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this anymore! "
"Ahhhh!!!"
The angry roar reverberated in the entire space. Suddenly, the demonic nature in Qin Shi's body surged. It was as if it had turned into a million hurricanes, causing cracks to appear in the space.
"Little fellow, stop. If you continue like this, you'll become a demon!"
"So what if I become a demon?
So what if I don't become a demon?
Right now, I can't even protect the people I want to protect and protect, can't I?
What's the difference between this and becoming a demon? "
"It could have ended. It could have ended. Why did it become like this?"
"Little fellow, have you forgotten the promise you made to the three women who love you deeply?"
"I …!"
Clang. The Blood Shaman's words seemed to strike a chord in Qin Shi's heart. Three beautiful figures suddenly appeared in his mind. He calmed down and said with a trembling voice, "Yes, I promised them that I can't be impulsive. I have to calm down."
"This isn't like you!"
Qin Shi didn't respond. He just suddenly closed his eyes, as if trying hard to adjust himself. After a while, the boiling demonic energy suddenly disappeared. This made the Blood Shaman heave a sigh of relief.
Staring at the silent Qin Shi, the Blood Shaman let out a long sigh. In fact, he also knew that this was a big blow to Qin Shi. Perhaps if it was any other Group Damsel demon, Qin Shi wouldn't struggle like this and be in so much pain. Only Zhen Yuan couldn't. The scars left by Zhen Yuan were all unforgettable.
Seeing that Qin Shi was regulating his breathing, the Blood Shaman felt rather gratified. "Little fellow, grow up. A man must endure what others can't in order to do what others can't. What you're shouldering is a heavy burden that no one in this world can bear. If you want to materialize that belief and perseverance in your heart, treat all of this as training given to you by the heavens, sharpening the edge of a treasured sword. I think that when you're really able to remain unfazed by praise and humiliation and can stand at the top of this world, perhaps your dreams will really come true. Countless people are looking forward to that day, waiting for you to fulfill them."
After a long while, Qin Shi finally opened his eyes. His previously manic black pupils had finally become calm. He let out a deep breath, "That's right. I cannot be impulsive. I still have too many things that I have yet to accomplish. No matter how great the pressure is, I will treat it as motivation. I will not give up."
"That's right."
The Blood Shaman nodded and said with a smile, "In fact, you should be happy. The Smelly Lung Soul of Shrouding Heaven Demon was seriously injured by you. This is something that no one has done in tens of thousands of years since Renhuang. But you did it. This is enough to highlight your extraordinariness."
"You don't have to comfort me." Qin Shi curled his lips.
"Hehe."
The Blood Shaman laughed dryly and continued, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The more I mention it, the more annoyed you will be. But there is another thing that is indeed worth being happy about. Now that the Smelly Lung Soul has been expelled by you, the source of the evil aura in Li Minghao's body has been resolved. As long as the remaining evil aura can be eliminated, his soul will naturally be saved. And without the Smelly Lung Soul, with your understanding of the formation boundary, it can be said to be broken without being attacked. The curse of Nightless City has also been resolved. This way, the Desolate Geocentric Milk is equivalent to being in your pocket."
Hearing this, Qin Shi did not deny it this time. "Indeed, after getting the Desolate Geocentric Milk, there are only two Spirit Herbs left. If I find the Beast Core of a Domain Realm Wild Beast, I can refine the Pale Flame Recovery Pill and wake up Sister Yu. This should be a blessing in disguise."
"Little brother!"
At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded in the tunnel of the formation. Looking back, Qin Shi was stunned. "It has already been three days?"
"What do you think?
The time in the space cannot be compared to the outside world. "
"Is that so?
Hehe, but I didn't expect Li Tan to really lead the army in. "Qin Shi was touched. After all, not everyone would risk their lives to fulfill a promise.
"Yes, this Li Tan is an honest person. He is indeed a good ruler," the Blood Shaman said.
Qin Shi nodded in agreement. The people of Nightless City were lucky to have Li Tan and his son. Then, he smiled and greeted, "Castellan Li Tan."
"Little brother, how are you?" Li Tan asked worriedly.
Qin Shi shook his head. "Thank you for your concern, Castellan. I am fine."
"Oh?"
Li Tan was shocked. He looked around and relaxed when he saw that there was nothing strange. Then, his love for his son prompted him to ask, "Then, about Minghao …!"
"Hehe, don't worry, Castellan. Just wait and see."
Qin Shi kept him in suspense. Then, he slowly rose into the air in front of the Nightless City army. Then, he flipped his palms. With his sharp eyes, he saw through the eye of the formation. "Break!"
Rumble!
