Within the underground space, time seems to flow somewhat slowly.
After some exploration, Qin Xin found some good things and also encountered creatures living in this underground space.
Qin Xin smiled as he put a crystal radiating fiery red spiritual energy into his Qiankun bag, and his mood immediately improved.
This fiery red spirit crystal is a low-grade fire-attribute spirit stone. Martial artists can directly absorb its spiritual energy for cultivation, but this is too extravagant. Martial artists usually use spirit stones to construct formations or draw spirit talismans. Of course, it can also be used as currency to trade some items.
Then Qin Xin walked to a fallen demon beast, took out a sharp knife, and carefully cut off its sharp scorpion tail. Looking at the black light emanating from the stinger on the tail, he couldn't help but tremble. He dared not touch it and casually placed it in a corner of his Qiankun bag.
This monster was the Lava Giant Scorpion that Qin Xue encountered when she was trying to retrieve the low-grade fire-attribute spirit stone from the stone wall.
The Lava Giant Scorpion lives in the underground space and is a level four demonic beast. When it matures, its strength is comparable to that of a Qi Sea Realm eighth level expert. Its body is covered with a shell cast from fused black iron, which is extremely heat-resistant and has extremely strong defense. More than ten sharp scorpion legs allow it to move freely and quickly within the cave. Its tail has a poisonous stinger that glows with black light. If one is accidentally stung, even a Qi Sea Realm martial artist will first turn black all over if they do not take an antidote pill within three hours, and finally their bones and meridians will all turn into a pool of black water.
After checking the lava giant scorpion and finding no beast crystal inside, Qin Xin left the spot.
"ah!"
"Thump!"
...
Qin Xin hadn't gone far when he heard a roar coming from not far away.
Because the range of spiritual sense was significantly limited in this underground space, Qin Xin was extremely careful when he went to investigate, trying his best not to expose himself.
~~~~~~
"Han Yao! What do you want to do!"
"Hehe, what do you think I want to do? Your senior sister Na Shui is already in trouble herself, do you think she can still get away to help you?"
You deserve to die!
"Hahaha, shout! Shout louder, the louder you shout, the more excited I get!"
As their true energy clashed, sounds like teasing rang out, accompanied by the sound of clothes being torn.
As Qin Xin approached, upon hearing a somewhat familiar voice, he felt a sense of foreboding and quickly quickened his pace.
At a distance of about twenty zhang, Qin Xin finally saw the figures of the people fighting in front of him. When his gaze swept over the women behind him, he saw bloodstains on their clothes and blood seeping from their torn skin. This made his anger explode instantly. He stomped down hard, and the boulder under his feet shattered.
"court death!"
With a furious roar, Qin Xin's figure transformed into a streak of orange light. The Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff in his hand was ablaze with flames, creating a whooshing sound as it rubbed against the surrounding air.
The fierce attack clearly caught Han Yao off guard. True Qi outside his dantian flowed out rapidly like a river, and a light blue True Qi armor gathered in front of him. He unleashed his full strength as a third-level Qi Sea Realm cultivator without reservation.
"boom!"
With a single strike, the staff slammed into the light blue armor in front of Han Yao, unleashing a burst of violent flames that sent rubble flying from the ground.
"Sizzle!"
The orange flames and the pale blue armor locked in a stalemate, producing a series of sounds.
As Han Yao retreated and watched the flames recede, Qin Xin, who was holding the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff, suddenly turned pale. He hadn't expected Qin Xin to be so strong, and the thought of escaping arose in his mind. However, reason told him that Qin Xin was just a martial artist in the Opening Aperture Realm.
"Wow! Brother Qin Xin, you're amazing! Avenge me!"
"Qin Xin, be careful! This Han Yao is at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm!"
Upon seeing the boy's figure, Ya Ru was first surprised and then called out to him.
Qin Xue, on the other hand, covered her exposed skin and carefully reminded Qin Xin in front of her.
Qin Xin glanced at the two women and the several female disciples of the Mortal Flower Pavilion behind them, noticing that they all had only minor injuries. It seemed that Han Yao was deliberately teasing them and hadn't intended to kill them. Otherwise, given that Qin Xue and Ya Ru were only at the first level of the Awakening Realm, and the strongest among them was only at the fourth level, they would have been easily defeated by Han Yao long ago.
"Qin Xin, is it? I advise you not to cause trouble. Leave now, and I might consider sparing you!"
After regaining his balance, Han Yao looked at Qin Xin with some wariness, and while speaking, he didn't forget to give Song Ming beside him a wink.
Song Ming, possessing the strength of the eighth level of the Awakening Realm, was Han Yao's most loyal follower. After this exchange of glances, he understood Han Yao's meaning and immediately looked at Qin Xue and the others behind Qin Xin, seemingly ready to make a move at any moment.
"Mind your own business? You tampered with the Wind-Riding Eagle, you won't escape responsibility!"
"So what if you are? You're lucky you're still alive!"
Qin Xin had only asked tentatively, but Han Yao readily admitted it without any attempt to hide it, as if he thought he could easily defeat Qin Xin.
"Let's do it!"
After Han Yao gave a soft shout, a strange fish, ten feet tall, appeared behind him. It had eight bizarre tentacles covered with dense, gritty barbs that looked somewhat disgusting. Its pair of scarlet eyes were extremely menacing.
"Qin Xin, be careful! This is his martial spirit, a five-star, eight-clawed ink-spraying spirit fish!"
Seeing Han Yao unleash his martial spirit, Qin Xue behind him quickly spoke up to remind him.
Qin Xin dared not be careless. He immediately activated the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, and violent true energy surged within his Martial Core. As he hurriedly retreated, two figures suddenly closed in.
"snort!"
Qin Xin snorted and shielded Qin Xue and the others behind him. He shot the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff directly at Song Ming, while an orange fire blade condensed in his hand and slashed at Han Yao.
"ah!"
After a cry of pain, Song Ming was pierced through by the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff that Qin Xin had shot out of his hand, pinned to the ground, and immediately lost his fighting ability.
"puff!"
The fire blade flew directly from Qin Xin's hand and shot towards Han Yao. To Qin Xin's surprise, the fire blade, which should have exploded, was actually caught in Han Yao's hand. With a change of gesture, the blackened object directly enveloped the fire blade and then vanished.
"Advanced Profound Rank Martial Art: Sea-Forbidden Demon Cage!"
When Han Yao saw Song Ming lying on the ground, he was filled with anger and curses. He did not expect that Song Ming, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Opening Realm, would be pinned to the ground in just one exchange. His eyes turned cold and he muttered to himself.
In an instant, the temperature of the air, which had been scorching hot, dropped immediately.
Behind him, an eight-clawed ink-spraying spirit fish continuously spewed out black gas that rushed directly towards Qin Xin, making strange noises. The rocks in the area where the black gas passed seemed to be corroded.
Seeing this, Qin Xin dared not be careless. With a thought, the black staff martial spirit, which was already wrapped in the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, appeared directly in his hand.
Qin Xin did not dodge, because Qin Xue and the others were behind him. With a slight mental focus, the fiery true energy around him actually converged directly towards Qin Xin's location.
The essence of martial arts!
Seeing Qin Xin's appearance, Han Yao looked somewhat frightened and immediately rushed over, trying to stop him from completing the martial arts performance.
