Lin Cheng felt a sudden tightness in his chest when he saw that gaze, and he hurriedly took a step back, fearing that Qin Luo would rush up and fight him again, so he quickly created distance.

After retreating to what he considered a safe distance, Lin Cheng finally steadied himself. His eyes were fixed on Qin Luo, the spiritual runes on his wooden spear flickering erratically, revealing his inner unease.

He was both angry and somewhat afraid. He was angry that this person had forced him into this situation, and he was afraid of the person's reckless and crazy fighting style just now.

"We can't keep going head-to-head with him like this, so we have no choice but to use that move! If we hold back again, we might really end up getting ourselves into trouble here."

Lin Cheng pondered to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes. He flicked the green wooden spear in his hand, forming a mysterious hand seal, and channeled his surging spiritual energy into it.

The light on the tip of the green spear suddenly intensified, the brilliant green light radiating a powerful vitality, its power even causing the surrounding space to slightly distort.

"This move was originally intended for those three, but I never expected it to be used on a cultivator at the Spirit Vortex Realm."

Lin Cheng muttered to himself, a bitter and self-deprecating smile appearing on his lips.

In his original plan, this move was a carefully prepared killing move to defeat the three people in the assessment and reach the top.

He had mentally rehearsed the overwhelming power of this move countless times, imagining the scene of using it to overwhelm the crowd and receive their admiration and cheers.

But now, Qin Luo, a Spirit Vortex Realm cultivator, has driven him to such a desperate situation. Regardless of the outcome, after today, Qin Luo's name will surely resound throughout the entire Lingxiao Plain. And this reputation was built step by step over Lin Cheng!

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng was filled with anger, and the hand seals in his hands suddenly changed.

"Azure Wood Spirit Source Explosion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit patterns on the green wooden spear in the air seemed to come alive, and light traveled along the patterns, enveloping the entire spear in a rich green wooden light.

call out!

Then, the green wooden spear streaked across the sky like a green lightning bolt. Wherever it passed, the air was torn open with a long black crack, and the ground collapsed due to the powerful spiritual pressure, with sand and stones flying everywhere.

Qin Luo's eyes began to turn serious; even from a distance, he could feel the ferocity of this attack.

"It's time..."

Immediately, the jade-colored fingers slowly rose, and wisps of emerald-green spiritual energy began to swirl around the fingertips.

These spiritual energies, like nimble little snakes, coiled and danced at the fingertips, gradually forming a small yet exquisite finger shadow as they gathered.

When the finger shadow first appeared, the surrounding space seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and it trembled slightly.

After sensing that it was almost time, Qin Luo gave a soft shout:

"Myriad Spirits Evolution Finger!"

As the finger shadow flashed out, three different streams of spiritual energy within the body rapidly covered the surface of the body, instantly forming layer upon layer of thin film.

With unstoppable momentum, the finger shadow rushed towards the green lightning formed by the green wooden spear, like a shooting star.

Just as the two were about to meet in mid-air, the seemingly sharp finger shadow, under the powerful impact of the Green Wood Spear, was easily shattered like fragile glass. The moment the finger shadow shattered, it turned into specks of spiritual light and dissipated into the air, as if it had never existed.

The green wooden spear continued its relentless advance, hurtling towards him with a whistling sound.

Qin Luo felt a powerful pressure rushing towards him, and then he stomped his feet on the ground and used the Flame Rhythm Palm again.

In an instant, the Flaming Palm and the Green Wood Spear collided, sparks flew everywhere, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then a huge surge of spiritual energy spread wildly in a ring outwards, instantly blowing up the dust on the ground and forming a thick dust curtain that blotted out the sky.

Some nearby trees were snapped in half by the impact, with a series of cracking sounds.

Qin Luo felt a sharp pain in both arms, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his body shot backward like a cannonball.

bang

With a dull thud, he slammed into the bronze gate at incredible speed. The moment his back collided violently with the gate, the entire gate was affected by the immense force and the shockwave of spiritual energy.

Then, under the influence of this force, the bronze gate slowly opened. The hinges creaked as they turned, and as the gate gradually opened, a dreamlike, shimmering aura wafted out from within.

Qin Luo leaned against the bronze gate, his body slowly sliding down as it opened. His consciousness was fading, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the mottled surface of the bronze gate and slowly sliding down...

At this moment, the pupils of everyone else on the battlefield suddenly contracted, and all eyes were focused on the slowly opening bronze gate, because of the huge figure emanating a faint aura in front of the woman inside the gate.

"That's the Spirit Phantom Butterfly, ranked ninety-sixth on the list of all beasts!"

The moment everyone on the field saw the ethereal butterfly, their eyes widened and their breathing became rapid. Even Lin Cheng was not immune; his shock was quickly replaced by greed, and his hands unconsciously tightened around the green wooden spear.

You should know that his achievements today are all thanks to his Azure Wood Spirit Heart, which ranks 130th on the list of ten thousand beasts. If he could obtain the Spirit Illusion Butterfly, he would be invincible in the Lingxiao Plains assessment.

The others also revealed expressions of envy and greed. They began whispering among themselves, and the scene became noisy. Some were already plotting how to seize the loot, while others watched with a mixture of excitement and fear.

While they were still in surprise, Murong Liyue inside the door was also slightly stunned, seemingly not yet understanding what had happened. But when she saw Qin Luo, covered in blood, at the doorway, her mind jolted.

"Young Master Qin!"

Murong Liyue called out anxiously, her voice trembling noticeably. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry, and without the slightest hesitation, she abandoned the ethereal butterfly in front of her and rushed to Qin Luo's side.

Seeing Qin Luo's miserable state, covered in blood and lying on the bronze gate, he couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

Murong Liyue was extremely anxious. She subconsciously bit her lower lip, leaving a faint tooth mark on her delicate red lips.

Her eyes were fixed on the injured Qin Luo, filled with anxiety. Then, she raised her hands, which were as white as mutton-fat jade, and wisps of pure white spiritual energy slowly rose from her palms.

This spiritual energy surrounded Qin Luo, and wherever it went, the spread of bloodstains on the shocking wound gradually slowed down.

The spiritual energy carefully seeped into Qin Luo's wound, and Qin Luo's originally furrowed brows relaxed slightly under the nourishment of this gentle spiritual energy.

Murong Liyue was completely focused on controlling her spiritual energy, and in her anxiety, fine beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead.

"Ahem! Miss Liyue, I apologize, but in the end, I was unable to stop him..."

Sensing the flow of spiritual energy, Qin Luo slowly opened his eyes, his voice weak yet tinged with apology.
