Seeing this scene, not only was Murong Liyue shocked, but Lin Cheng and the onlookers in the distance were also stunned, their mouths slightly open, as if they had been frozen in place.
Immediately, gasps of amazement and whispers rose from the crowd.
"This is... a soul contract! And a life contract at that!"
As these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were fixed on the rune, their gazes filled with various thoughts—jealousy, greed, and amazement.
Lin Cheng was the first to react, gripping the Green Wood Spear tightly in his hand, his figure transforming into a streak of green light as he hurtled towards Qin Luo and the other two.
Upon seeing this, Qin Luo's gaze sharpened, and spiritual energy surged in his hand. In an instant, he grabbed the rune in the air and imprinted it on Murong Liyue's forehead before she could react.
In an instant, a beam of light shot into the sky, enveloping Murong Liyue entirely. The light contained a powerful aura of divine soul, and the runes spread rapidly upon contact with Murong Liyue's forehead, forming intricate and exquisite patterns along her skin.
"You dare!"
Seeing this, Lin Cheng roared in anger, increasing his speed even further. The green wooden spear in his hand shone brightly, its tip gathering powerful spiritual energy as he thrust it towards Murong Liyue, who was enveloped in light.
By the time Murong Li came to her senses, it was too late. A sudden panic gripped her; she realized what Qin Luo intended to do, but the contract had already begun to be signed. During this time, her soul would gradually merge with the Spirit Illusion Butterfly. She would be in a state of complete fusion, isolated from all external interference and perception!
As the light gradually enveloped her shapely figure, the focus in her eyes also gradually faded.
"Young Master Qin, you must leave quickly! Don't worry about me!"
Thinking of this, Murong Liyue became extremely anxious. Although her vision was already blurring, she still tried her best to shout at Qin Luo.
But the only response she received was Qin Luo's seemingly frail figure blocking her way, and the spiritual flame rising from his hand.
At that moment, Lin Cheng's green wooden spear, accompanied by a whistling sound, approached Qin Luo. The spiritual energy at the spear tip, carrying a fierce attack, thrust forward.
Seeing the green wooden spear tip so close at hand, a resolute look surged in Qin Luo's eyes. The instant the spear tip thrust forward, his feet slammed into the ground, and his jade hands, carrying billowing spiritual flames, reached out without hesitation to grab the spear tip.
puff
The green wooden spear, with its unstoppable sharpness, pierced straight through his arm. Blood splattered in the air like delicate flowers, and Qin Luo's face instantly contorted in agony, letting out a muffled groan of pain.
Qin Luo's body trembled slightly, but he still gripped the Green Wood Spear tightly with his other hand, preventing Lin Cheng from advancing further. The spiritual energy at the wound on his arm collided and intertwined with the spiritual energy of the Green Wood Spear, producing crackling sounds. Blood flowed continuously down the spear, dripping onto the ground and instantly staining a patch of earth red.
"Young Master Qin, you should leave quickly..."
Murong Liyue saw this scene in the light, her pupils contracted sharply, and her voice unconsciously trembled with a hint of a sob. But as her voice fell, the light on her forehead completely enveloped her, the focus in her eyes began to slowly fade, and the scene before her gradually blurred in her vision.
In the final moments, Qin Luo's faint voice echoed in her mind.
"I'm sorry, Miss Liyue, but even if I have to risk my life, I will not let them touch you in the slightest!"
As Qin Luo spoke, a single tear slowly rolled down Murong Liyue's unfocused pupils, shimmering brightly in the surrounding light...
"Hmph! You ignorant fools! Since that's how it is, I'll make you a pair of doomed lovers today!"
Seeing this touching scene, Lin Cheng snorted coldly, and spiritual energy surged in his hand, instantly pulling the Green Wood Spear from Qin Luo's palm.
After saying that, he raised the green wooden spear again, and even more powerful spiritual energy gathered at the tip of the spear, distorting the surrounding air.
When Qin Luo saw that Murong Liyue was completely unaware of the outside world, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Finally, I don't have to hide it anymore..."
He slowly straightened up, his previously hunched figure now surging with powerful spiritual energy. He shook his injured arm; although the wound was still bleeding, the rich purple spiritual energy quickly stabilized the injury.
His gaze then fell on Lin Cheng, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing Qin Luo's change, Lin Cheng felt a sense of doubt and wariness. However, when he saw that the paleness on Qin Luo's face did not seem fake, the green wooden spear in his hand trembled slightly, but he immediately gripped it tightly, and the spiritual power on the spear tip gathered even more frantically.
"Playing tricks!"
With a cold shout, the green wooden spear in the center thrust fiercely towards Qin Luo. The spear tip, carrying a whistling wind and distorted spiritual energy, transformed into a shooting star and rushed towards Qin Luo.
Seeing the green wooden spear hurtling towards him like a meteor, Qin Luo remained calm and composed, his hands forming hand seals. In an instant, raging spiritual flames surged around his body, transforming into a torrent that rapidly coalesced into a massive shield before him.
The outer layer of the shield was ablaze with spiritual flames as hot as the sun, the dancing flames displaying a brilliant green hue, and the air around the flames was distorted by the intense heat.
boom!
The moment the spear tip touched the Spirit Flame Shield, a loud sound was emitted, followed by a series of faint hissing sounds.
Lin Cheng felt a powerful burning sensation travel from the Green Wood Spear to his arm. His powerful attack struck the shield, but it was like a surging wave crashing against a solid reef, unable to break through it in the slightest.
As the burning sensation spread through my hand, a powerful counterforce also erupted.
Under the impact of this powerful recoil, Lin Cheng felt a piercing pain in his arm, and the green wooden spear in his hand trembled violently, almost slipping out of his grasp.
His body flew backward uncontrollably, his feet leaving two deep marks on the ground.
It wasn't until he had retreated several hundred meters away that he managed to regain his balance and dissipate the terrifying force that followed.
At this moment, Lin Cheng's face darkened, his heart filled with shock and confusion. He never expected that a person who was seriously injured and weak could withstand his attack.
"A desperate counterattack? Or...?"
Qin Luo stood still, his expression calm.
The Flame Shield slowly rotated in front of him, the spiritual flames still burning fiercely, radiating a powerful pressure.
This sight made the surrounding crowd, who were itching to make a move, hesitate to act rashly for a moment.
