Qin Shi widened his eyes and sent his soul force into it. Then, under the scorching heat, two figures burst out at the same time and Xiao Mi Cai fell to the ground, paralyzed.
Old Daoist Han wasn't any better. Under the enhancement of her bloodline power, Xiao Mi Cai's strength was so strong that even a Heaven Crawling Realm expert would be wary of her, let alone a Nine Heavens Realm expert.
The arm that Old Daoist Han used to attack earlier was broken. His bones shattered all the way to his shoulder and he swayed in the wind.
"Wretched lass!"
After being obstructed by Little Mi Cai, Old Daoist Han was unable to restrain his anger.
However, Xiao Mi Cai smiled faintly, "Old dog, I've already said it. Either you hand over your blood essence or I'll send you to heaven!"
"Ignorant fool!"
Old Daoist Han's killing intent was extremely clear as he locked onto Xiao Mi Cai. He stood up again and this time, he didn't clash head-on with Xiao Mi Cai. Instead, he summoned a flame with a single hand and spun it in the air, burning the sand and leaves in the wind. It turned into a huge meteorite and shot towards Xiao Mi Cai's glabella with dazzling flames.
Under the high temperature, Xiao Mi Cai's delicate face revealed a rare solemn expression. However, she didn't panic and this was what made Qin Shi gratified. She still knew how to resist. She opened her red snake mouth and a seven-colored ray of light started to gather.
Pu!
However, just as the two forces were about to collide, Xiao Mi Cai's snake body trembled violently. The ray of light dimmed and fell from the sky.
Following that, the aura in her body started to dissipate rapidly. From the Nine Heavens Realm, it fell to the Eight Heavens Realm, Seven Heavens Realm, Six Heavens Realm before stopping.
Seeing this scene, the Blood Shaman widened his eyes, "This is, this lass's bloodline power has been completely ignited!"
"What?
How can it be now! "Qin Shi exclaimed.
As the ray of light fell, Old Daoist Han laughed maniacally with excitement in his eyes, "Haha, lass, it seems like even the heavens aren't helping you. This old man shall accept your beast core. You can wait to become a sacrifice for the future of my Han Family!"
"Jasper Flames Chain Destruction!"
The rumbling red meteorite fell from the sky. Its ferocious power caused the heavens and earth to darken. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Mi Cai was enveloped within it.
Xiao Mi Cai's beautiful eyes were dazed. Under the pressure of the power, her snake body faded away and turned into a petite and frail body. Her face was filled with helplessness and despair.
Bang!
In the face of imminent danger, a huge golden hand reached out from the void and grabbed the meteorite ferociously, crushing it forcefully.
Xiao Mi Cai's eyes turned red when she saw Qin Shi, "Father …" Xiao Cai felt her, "Father, I …" Xiao Cai was and said, "Father ….
Looking at Qin Shi, Xiao Mi Cai's eyes turned red: "Daddy …!" Following which, she lowered her head sadly: "In the end, I was still unable to retrieve the blood essence."
But without waiting for her to finish, Qin Shi stretched out his hand and stroked her colorful hair. "Little girl, you've done very well. Leave the rest to Daddy. Daddy will definitely do what he promised you."
"Kid, it's you?"
Qin Shi had competed with Old Daoist Han several times at the auction, so he was recognized at a glance.
Qin Shi shrugged and said, "Old man, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
"Humph, that's right!"
Old Taoist Han shouted angrily. Then, he remembered how Qin Shi had gone against him at the auction. He clenched his fists tightly. "I didn't expect you to be in cahoots with this little girl. Just as well, you made me spend 40,000 red beans at the auction. I'll get them back from you right now!"
Facing Old Daoist Han's threat, Qin Shi replied coldly, "Haha, that's right. I happen to have some grudges that I want to settle with you."
"Then let's see who's more powerful with our fists!"
"Jadeflame Chain Burst!"
Without another word, Old Daoist Han shot into the sky. Then, he clenched his fists and shot three meteorites at Qin Shi.
The meteorites were like cheetahs. Qin Shi frowned. "This move again?"
Then, he manipulated his soul power and formed a golden hand in the sky. It was in the shape of an eagle's claw, ready to attack the meteorites.
"Hehe, kid, do you think that I would use the same move against you if I knew that you could block it?
Naive! "
As the golden hand rose into the air, the old Taoist priest suddenly shot forward. His physical body actually surpassed the three meteors. He tapped the air three times in a row, triggering intense heat waves. After that, one of his hands reached deep into the ground, flipping over the hard rocks.
"You don't have the strength to leave. Come and have a taste of my Han family's hellfire!"
Old Daoist Han laughed maniacally. Then, with his palm as the center, the ground became hot and red. The plants withered and the heat spread and enveloped Qin Shi.
Qin Shi furrowed his brows. He could clearly feel a heat flow of at least a thousand degrees Celsius rapidly approaching him from the magma in the deep sea. However, when he wanted to withdraw, he discovered that the three meteors were right in front of him.
"This old guy has been scheming against me since the beginning?"
Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. "If I dodge now, I will definitely be seriously injured by these three meteorites. But if I don't dodge, with my Soul Manifestation, I can block these three meteorites, but it will be impossible for me to escape."
"Damn it!"
Being attacked from both front and back, Qin Shi cursed. He had no choice but to raise his left hand. The space ring on his index finger flashed and aimed at the ground.
"Old friend, looks like I'll have to trouble you!
I hope you can still be my savior. "
Then, a huge halo of spiritual energy spread around Qin Shi. Nine Star's huge body was summoned, and he used his shoulder to support Qin Shi. Qin Shi was directly sent into the clouds.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
The next moment, four consecutive explosions rang out in the mountain.
Qin Shi cleverly used his golden hand to block the meteorites. Nine Star's movements were even more violent. As a Heaven Fate Stage expert, he stomped his foot and the surging magma turned into mud.
"This is a Heaven Top Puppet?"
Old Daoist Han's body trembled slightly. He was clearly shocked by Nine Star's strength.
Originally, Qin Shi didn't want to summon Nine Star. After all, Nine Star's body was too big. Once he appeared, he would definitely attract trouble. However, he really had no choice in the face of death.
He stood on Nine Star's shoulder and squinted at Old Daoist Han. "However, I didn't want to summon you. Since you've already been summoned, then, old man, your life will end here."
"You piece of shit!"
Old Daoist Han felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
"Nine Star, finish this quickly!" Qin Shi leaped into the sky and followed Old Daoist Han's lead.
Nine Star's power was at the Heaven Fate Stage. It was something that a Heaven Fate Stage expert couldn't fight against. Sensing Nine Star's movements, Old Daoist Han turned around and shot down the mountain in the blink of an eye.
"Trying to run?"
A cold current surged around Qin Shi. Then, lightning appeared under his feet and turned into a purple halo. He flashed forward and stopped Old Daoist Han from a thousand meters away.
"What, what are you doing?" Old Daoist Han was shocked.
"Old man, you have to pay for hurting my daughter!
Hand over the essence blood and I'll give you a quick death. "
Qin Shi used an extremely cold voice to reply to Old Daoist Han. This also made Old Daoist Han understand the meaning behind Qin Shi's words, causing him to grit his teeth and say, "Brat, it seems like you're not going to let me go. Then don't blame me for dragging you down with me even if I die!"
"Scorching Body!"
Old Daoist Han raised his withered hand and the temperature around him rose rapidly. Qin Shi could feel his blood boiling from a hundred meters away. It was as if he was in a sea of fire.
"What a vicious move!"
Qin Shi couldn't help but frown. But just as he was about to defend himself against Old Daoist Han's attack, he saw Old Daoist Han's actions and his expression changed.
"Kid, stop that old dog! He's trying to kill me!"
"Huh?"
This was something Qin Shi had never expected. But just as he was about to stop him, it was already too late. The heat emitted from Old Daoist Han's body filled an area of a hundred meters around him. Even Qin Shi couldn't get half a step closer. That hundred meters was filled with flying ash.
"Hehe, kid, goodbye. But don't get too excited. I'll use the Scorching Body and burn myself as the price. I'll send the news back to the Han Family. Just wait for the Han Family's revenge!"
Then, he turned around and looked at Xiao Mi Cai. "Little girl, someone will come and take away your Beast Core. Don't worry, you'll be the Han Family's sacrifice sooner or later!"
"Haha, hahaha!"
In the end, only Old Daoist Han's mocking laughter was left in the forest. Then, in Qin Shi's eyes, his old body was burned by the raging fire inch by inch. The ashes turned into countless Sanskrit characters that floated from the sky to a certain corner of Merchant City.
During this process, Qin Shi tried to stop them. However, he discovered that since Old Daoist Han used his life as the price, the Spirit Formation and formation he created was something that he was unable to destroy. He could only watch as the news spread back to the Han family.
His heart sank. Previously, Li Qi told him that the Han Family was a local family in Merchant City. Moreover, they were very famous. To be able to thrive in the business district that the entire mainland paid attention to, it showed that the Han Family's strength was extraordinary.
"Little girl, after seeing this, we're really in trouble." The Blood Sorcerer curled his lips.
Hearing that, Qin Shi sighed helplessly. "Yes, but there's no other way. We'll offend the Han Family sooner or later. Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later."
"You're quite open-minded!" The Blood Sorcerer didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Qin Shi's strong mentality.
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders in a carefree manner. Then, he leaped forward and arrived beside Xiao Mi Cai. He held onto her shoulder and asked, "Little lass, how is it?"
"I'm fine. Blood essence!"
Xiao Mi Cai raised her head and the first thing she said was blood essence.
Understanding the importance of the blood essence to Xiao Mi Cai, Qin Shi didn't waste any time. He carried Xiao Mi Cai and leaped to the place where Old Daoist Han was lying. Then, he found the light blue space ring in the dust.
"It should be here, right?" Qin Shi looked forward to it and passed it to Xiao Mi Cai.
Xiao Mi Cai hurriedly opened it and as she searched through it, her expression gradually dimmed. However, this dimming wasn't the worst news. When she retracted her telekinesis and shook her head at Qin Shi, proving that the blood essence wasn't in the storage ring, a semicircle of flames spewed out from the storage ring, turning into a high-temperature steamer that locked the two of them within.
