Between the palaces of the Luoshen Gate ruins, a figure fled rapidly, wielding a Nine-Flame Battle Immortal Staff that radiated fiery energy. As he fled, he continuously attacked the surrounding buildings.
The continuous collapse of buildings delayed some of the figures chasing behind, but the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image" seemed to be somewhat enraged by Qin Xin's continued escape.
"roar!"
A terrifying roar resounded, and the shockwave caused Qin Xin to lose his footing for a moment. Xia Qi took this opportunity to catch up.
"Keep running! Today I will break your legs, then soak you in a jar and slowly torture you!"
Xia Qi's hair was now somewhat charred, and his face was contorted, as if he wanted nothing more than to devour Qin Xin alive.
As a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he usually preferred to wear plain clothes and cared a lot about his personal image. Of course, he was also very proud. However, he never expected that his image would be ruined by Qin Xin. Therefore, he was determined to kill Qin Xin today to vent his anger.
"Two-Headed Illusionary Spirit Dragon!"
With a soft shout from Xia Qi, the Martial Spirit behind him directly merged into the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image, and several scales appeared on its face, radiating a cold light.
"Using this Dharma Image and Spiritual Decree on you is truly a waste!"
A strange smile appeared on Xia Qi's lips, followed by a wicked grin. "But I'll deal with you first. I'm going to collect the yin energy of those women, so I'll have some gains."
"boom!"
As soon as the shout fell, Xia Qi shot towards Qin Xin, his entire body like a python or dragon, transforming into a black streak of light, carrying an extremely domineering and fierce killing intent, and frantically attacking Qin Xin.
Wherever the black streak of light passed, its powerful aura directly caused some buildings to collapse, and even left a long trench in the ground where it passed.
Seeing this, Qin Xin dared not be careless and immediately released his soul control. Dan Qing also took over Qin Xin's body at that moment.
Xia Qi noticed that Qin Xin was motionless and assumed that he was stunned by his aura. However, he did not hold back and rushed directly towards Qin Xin's dantian, intending to destroy it.
"die!"
Xia Qi's lips parted slightly. At this moment, the black light was already approaching Qin Xin. A phantom image of a celestial dragon opened its mouth wide, as if it wanted to devour Qin Xin directly.
"Screech!"
Qin Xin suddenly opened his eyes, golden flames flashing in them. With a light pat of his palm, Xia Qi was sent flying backward.
Immediately afterward, an ancient cauldron with countless complex patterns slowly flew out from behind Qin Xin. As soon as the Nine-Star Martial Spirit Fire-Transforming Cauldron appeared, it rushed directly towards the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image.
"How is that possible!"
Xia Qi was shocked as he was pushed back. He never expected that he, at the seventh level of the Awakening Realm and with the blessing of the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image, would be pushed back by Qin Xin, who had not even entered the Awakening Realm. What made him dumbfounded was that the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image was directly absorbed by the ancient cauldron.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xia Qi did not hesitate at all and turned to flee.
Qin Xin watched Xia Qi's fleeing figure and shook his head helplessly. The Li Huo Zhuan Xing Ding behind him trembled continuously, as if something inside was struggling.
"I hope Miss Luo has already escaped with the others!" Qin Xin sighed softly, then turned and left the place.
~~~~~~
Inside a relatively secluded cave in the Forest of Fallen Leaves, a somewhat weak young man sat cross-legged on a futon. Behind him, the black staff-like martial spirit phantom swirled, drawing in all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After a cycle of transformation, the pure energy was infused into his martial core.
The young man before them was Qin Xin, who had escaped from the ruins of the Luoshen Gate.
After taking control of his body, Danqing did not pursue the fleeing Xia Qi, because as Qin Xin's physical body gradually became stronger, the time that Danqing could control it was greatly shortened, and it would also put a great burden on his own spiritual energy.
Upon exiting the ruins of the Luoshen Gate, Qin Xin was attacked by numerous families and royal guards of the Great Xia Dynasty. Although he narrowly escaped, he suffered considerable injuries, compounded by the excessive depletion of his spiritual energy.
Unable to return directly to the Eastern Wilderness Academy, Qin Xin could only find a secluded spot in the withered leaf forest to rest temporarily.
"Letting Xia Qi escape is always a potential problem!"
Qin Xin suddenly opened his dark eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and murmured softly.
At this moment, Danqing's somewhat ethereal spirit quietly floated out from the fragmented map space.
“He is quite strong. If he is only focused on escaping, there is no chance of killing him,” Danqing said calmly.
"Teacher, how are you!"
Looking at Danqing's even more ethereal spirit, Qin Xin's eyes revealed worry.
"It's alright. With the nourishment of the fire of life, it will recover in a while," Danqing said somewhat casually.
Qin Xin understood that if Dan Qing hadn't risked his spirit body being bursting to directly absorb the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image into his Martial Spirit, Qin Xin would probably be a cold corpse by now.
"Teacher, now that I have entrusted my body to you, what kind of strength can I unleash?"
Qin Xin asked with some curiosity, "This is so that I can be more confident when I encounter danger in the future."
"My spiritual body is not as strong as it used to be. Although I can't unleash my full power, your body can easily reach the level of the seventh level of the Awakening Realm. If you could get some rare pills to help me recover my spiritual body, I might be able to become even stronger," Danqing said calmly.
Qin Xin shook his head helplessly when he heard Dan Qing mention the rare pills. Even Dan Qing had only heard of such pills that could restore the spirit body from rumors, and he had never seen anyone who was still alive with only their spirit body remaining.
“However, if there is a different kind of fire, perhaps through the power of that fire…” Danqing paused abruptly, not continuing.
"Teacher, what can we do with a different kind of fire?!"
Qin Xin felt extremely distressed when Danqing only told him half of what she had said, and hurriedly urged Danqing to finish.
"Sigh, it's not impossible to tell you. Legend has it that someone once mastered various kinds of strange fire and could refine the bodies of some recently deceased martial artists into weapons, so that the spirit could merge into them, which is a kind of resurrection in another sense."
As Danqing spoke, a hint of longing seemed to linger in his eyes. He had endured countless lonely years, and the emptiness he felt without a physical body was something others could not comprehend. However, after speaking, he frowned, stroked his beard, and said, "But this action is far too dangerous. It violates the will of Heaven and will incur divine punishment!"
Seeing Danqing's illusory figure, Qin Xin felt a pang of emotion. "Teacher, if I ever have the chance, I will definitely forge a martial artist's body for you!"
Qin Xin's words revealed his determination.
Seeing Qin Xin's unwavering resolve, Dan Qing's face was moved. Instead of teasing Qin Xin as usual, a warm smile appeared on her face.
