Seeing Xia Zihan's puzzled expression, Qin Luo smiled slightly.
"Zihan, I promised Fourth Brother I would protect you. If he finds out I put you in danger, he'll probably fight me to the death."
"And we can't waste our time on this black-scaled viper."
At this point, Qin Luo looked at the black-scaled viper preparing to charge again in the distance, a resolute expression appearing on his face, and said confidently:
"A mere ninth-stage Spirit Vortex Realm Ink Scale Viper isn't worth wasting our time on!"
Xia Zihan looked at Qin Luo's profile. His eyes no longer held their usual calmness; instead, they held a sharp glint. His slightly raised chin was fixed on the Black Scale Viper.
"Then, be careful."
In the end, Xia Zihan glanced at Qin Luo with concern, but still chose to believe him, taking a few steps back to stand behind him.
Qin Luo swiftly formed hand seals, his spiritual energy surging like a rushing river. A pure, ethereal light flickered at his fingertips.
In just a short moment, a finger shadow made of pure spiritual energy appeared.
As spiritual energy surged in, the finger shadow gradually became dazzling, and the space around it was constantly distorted by this powerful force, faintly emitting a buzzing sound.
"Phew~"
Qin Luo exhaled a breath of stale air, looking at the finger shadow in his hand that shone with pure white light, and couldn't help but secretly marvel.
In a short time, more than one-tenth of his spiritual energy was consumed before he could barely condense the most basic attribute-less finger shadow.
"Let me see just how powerful this is," Qin Luo looked up, his eyes fixed on the black-scaled viper not far away, and his fingers slightly raised.
"The Finger of the Evolution of All Spirits".
As he silently chanted, his finger flashed out like an aurora that pierced the void, shooting out at an unimaginable speed and heading straight for the Black Scale Viper.
The black-scaled viper was originally preparing to launch another attack, but the moment the finger shadow appeared, a strong sense of unease surged in its cold eyes.
A primal sense of danger made its massive body tremble violently, then it turned without hesitation and fled into the distance. The Black-Scaled Viper was incredibly fast; its enormous body twisted rapidly across the ground, creating a gust of wind.
However, the finger shadow was even faster, tearing through the void and passing through the body of the black-scaled viper the instant it fled.
The black-scaled viper suddenly stopped moving. Its massive body trembled slightly before it slowly collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground.
After piercing the black-scaled viper, the finger shadow continued its momentum without diminishing, transforming into a beam of light and rushing forward.
Wherever the finger touched, the surrounding air was torn open, creating a huge gap and emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The towering trees behind the corpse of the black-scaled viper were as fragile as paper before this terrifying finger shadow.
In an instant, the finger flashed and severed those giant trees in half. The powerful impact caused the broken tree trunks to fly everywhere and fall down with a dull thud.
The demonic beasts perched in the trees didn't even have time to react before being enveloped by this destructive power. Wherever the finger's shadow touched, everything vanished, leaving only a desolate wasteland!
Xia Zihan covered her rosy lips as she witnessed the shocking scene before her. She had rarely seen Qin Luo in action, and this was truly beyond her expectations.
Looking at the young man whose robes were fluttering in the wind, Xia Zihan felt a complex mix of emotions: shock, joy, and a strange sense of relief.
Looking at the hundreds of feet of ruins, Qin Luo was also satisfied with the power of the Myriad Spirits Evolution Finger.
This is just the most basic finger shadow technique, and it already has such power. Wouldn't it be even more terrifying after being combined with his spiritual energy? Qin Luo pondered to himself.
At that moment, a dark light appeared on the corpse of the Black-Scaled Viper. A moment later, a beast soul emitting a ghostly glow slowly floated out from the corpse of the Black-Scaled Viper.
This beast soul was a deep, inky black, and its shape resembled a miniature version of a black-scaled viper.
"So this is what they call a beast soul."
With a wave of his hand, Qin Luo drew the palm-sized beast soul into his hand and then stored it in his system space.
"Now, we need to continue our journey..."
After saying that, the two transformed into streaks of light and continued their journey towards Zhongzhou. The demonic beasts hiding in the shadows were also stunned by that single finger strike, and they all fell silent, not daring to make any further moves.
Zhongzhou, Wanren Mountain.
Wanren Mountain is a well-known dangerous place in Central China, famous for its steep mountains, vast plains and mysterious atmosphere.
The mountains conceal various powerful monsters and unknown dangers. The undulating mountain ranges meander like a giant dragon, and the towering peaks pierce the sky.
The clouds and mist swirl around the mountains like a light veil, adding a touch of mystery to Wanren Mountain.
Meanwhile, within the Wanren Mountain, thousands of figures were flying about, constantly circling within the mountain, seemingly searching for something.
At the forefront of the group, a tall and imposing man in a dark red robe gazed at the towering mountain range, a somber expression on his face.
"It's been almost two months, and we still haven't found any trace of Xia Chaozong. He really knows how to hide."
As this rough voice rang out, three streams of light fell from the sky and appeared in front of Yan Ling at the very front.
The man who spoke was burly and wore purple armor. The lightning that occasionally flashed around his body demonstrated his powerful cultivation. This man was none other than Lei Zhentian, the sect leader of the Lei Gang Sect.
Yan Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint in them.
"Hmph, I was careless and let him break through our blockade. However, he took a blow from me at the time, and with the injuries he had before, he probably won't be able to recover to his peak strength for a while."
Upon hearing his words, Leng Ningshuang, the sect leader of the Ice Soul Sect, stepped forward slightly, dressed in an ice-blue long dress, her eyes cold and aloof.
He then spoke, his voice as cold as ice and snow:
"Then we must intensify our search efforts and not let him escape. After all, with his strength, if he recovers, none of us will be able to escape unscathed if we encounter him."
“Indeed, Xia Chaozong is incredibly powerful. If he recovers, he will become a major threat.” Feng Yichen, the sect master of Fengying Sect, nodded slightly, his eyes vacant, as if deep in thought.
Upon hearing the three's words, Yan Ling nodded slightly, a strange smile appearing on his lips.
"Since that's the case, let's proceed according to plan. I want to see if Xia Chaozong can hold back this time!"
After speaking, Yan Ling looked at the two figures who were being closely guarded by the sect disciples, a hint of ruthlessness and cunning flashing in his eyes.
