Qin Luo held the Jade Fire Lotus in his hand, which emitted a faint emerald light that flowed and danced among its petals. The twelve petals of the fire lotus trembled slightly, each movement releasing wisps of scorching heat that caused visible distorted heat waves to emanate from the surrounding air.
He looked calmly at the panicked crowd and spoke indifferently.
"Although it's not perfect, a small fish is still a fish, so why not eat it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, a step that seemed to strike the hearts of Lin Yang and the others, causing their heartbeats to quicken.
Immediately, they saw Qin Luo flick his wrist, and the fire lotus transformed into a shooting star that hurtled towards them.
Not only Lin Yang's eyes widened, but He Zhao also looked incredulous. They hadn't expected this person to throw such a terrifying weapon at them without saying a word.
This gave them no time to react at all. In just a moment, the fire lotus tore through space and arrived in front of them instantly.
He Zhao sensed the power of the fire lotus, his pupils contracted sharply, and then a phantom appeared behind him. The phantom gradually became clearer, revealing itself to be a giant fish shadow. The fish shadow swam freely in the air behind him, as if it were in water.
The Azure Spirit Fish ranks 165th on the list of all beasts!
The moment the phantom appeared, He Zhao quickly formed hand seals, and the spiritual energy within his body roared out, forming a misty spiritual fog around him.
His figure gradually became blurred under the dense spiritual energy. Then, he transformed into a silver streak of water vapor, rushing towards the illusory image of the azure spirit fish at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.
The moment the two drew near, the water vapor that He Zhao had transformed into quickly merged with the illusory image of the Azure Spirit Fish.
A layer of aquamarine light emanated from the originally illusory body of the Azure Spirit Fish, and its eyes took on a human-like expression.
Instantly, the blue light emanated from the body of the Azure Spirit Fish, and the surrounding air seemed to be summoned, with water vapor frantically gathering from all directions.
The previously dry space instantly became humid, and within moments a small vortex of water vapor formed around the Azure Spirit Fish. The vortex spun faster and faster, emitting a soft, whistling sound.
As the vortex was formed, the surrounding water vapor became extremely dense, forming a tangible water shield that firmly protected Lin Yang and the others within it.
Seeing He Zhao so decisively use the trump card of a late-stage Soul Contract Realm cultivator, Qin Luo, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but be a little surprised by his decisiveness.
It's important to know that once the effects of the beast soul transformation wear off, the person will enter a period of weakness, which is why this method is only used in critical moments.
However, this fire lotus was not the six-petaled fire lotus he had faced when he faced Zhong Mo. Instead, it had more than half again, reaching twelve petals!
Sizzle
The moment the water vapor barrier formed, the emerald fire lotus came into contact with it. The flames leaping on the lotus collided violently with the water vapor, and a large amount of white mist rose up.
But the jade fire lotus did not weaken; instead, it burned even more fiercely.
In contrast, He Zhao felt immense pressure inside the Azure Spirit Fish's body; he could feel his spiritual energy rapidly draining away.
Damn it!
Amidst his indignant curses, He Zhao knew that defeat was inevitable if things continued this way. A ruthless glint appeared in his enormous fish eyes as he forcefully suppressed the weakness caused by the rapid loss of spiritual energy and began frantically mobilizing the last remaining spiritual energy within his body.
"Let's give it our all!"
He Zhao roared and gathered all the remaining spiritual energy in his body, injecting it into the core of the Azure Spirit Fish.
Suddenly, the Azure Spirit Fish's body erupted with a burst of intense light, within which water vapor surged wildly. The Azure Spirit Fish instantly doubled in size, then broke free from the barrier and rushed towards the Emerald Fire Lotus.
Seeing He Zhao's crazy actions, Qin Luo raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly:
"Go to great lengths? You need to have the ability to do so first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his hands quickly changed hand seals.
The flames around the jade lotus suddenly contracted, and then a deep green light bloomed from the lotus.
boom
In an instant, the emerald light exploded like a blazing sun, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. A powerful energy shockwave spread wildly outwards in a ring from the fire lotus as its center.
Even the void itself was instantly torn apart by this terrifying energy. Streams of emerald green spiritual energy, carrying the power to shatter everything, roared and rushed in all directions.
The surrounding mountains trembled violently under the powerful impact, and boulders tumbled down from the peaks with a deafening roar.
Trees were uprooted, some even shredded to pieces by the torrent of spiritual energy. The earth was torn open with deep ravines.
The fusion between He Zhao and the Azure Spirit Fish was forcibly dispelled the moment they came into contact with the terrifying explosion. He was then blasted away, crashing into the ground and creating a crater several meters in size.
He lay on the ground, barely breathing, his spiritual energy fluctuations almost imperceptible. His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
The illusory image of the Azure Spirit Fish dimmed and almost vanished. After letting out a faint mournful cry, it disappeared completely. The surrounding moisture barrier had long since been destroyed in the explosion, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.
Lin Yang and the others stared in horror as their bodies were lifted into the air like fragile leaves by the powerful force, only to be mercilessly thrown back down. Bloodstains instantly appeared on their bodies, and blood rained down.
Lin Yang fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. He felt as if his body had fallen apart. It was as if all the bones in his body were broken, and excruciating pain swept through him, causing him to groan in agony.
His followers who had come with him suffered an even more gruesome fate. They were instantly transformed into a blue light and vanished without a trace, their fates unknown.
Before the bronze gate, the aftershocks of the explosion made Qin Luo's robes flutter loudly, but when the aftershocks hit the bronze gate, they were blocked by a spiritual energy barrier...
As the residual power dissipated, dozens of blue lights drifted towards him from afar and then merged into his arm. The blue light shone brightly, and the level three mark quickly transformed into a level four mark.
"That's really not much."
Looking at the level four mark flashing blue light on his arm, Qin Luo's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. These people were weak, and the points they had obtained were only a little over a hundred, which really disappointed him.
"However, I never expected that this mark would also have the function of saving my life."
Qin Luo gazed into the distance and said softly. Just as the fire lotus bloomed, he sensed that as those people were being swallowed by the torrent of spiritual flames, the blue light from the marks on their arms illuminated them, protecting them before dissipating.
