Zhao Hu and Lin Yu, who were standing to the side, were immediately taken aback by Qin Luo's powerful attack, and for a moment they even stopped their own attacks.
"My goodness! This range, this power, is this something a Soul Contract Realm cultivator could unleash?"
Zhao Hu's eyes widened, his expression filled with disbelief. Lin Yu was also astonished and shocked, and couldn't help but scrutinize Qin Luo closely.
Dan Bingli remained aloof and unmoved by the outside world. However, a hint of almost imperceptible surprise flashed in her light blue eyes, and her originally naturally hanging hand subconsciously tightened slightly, involuntarily gripping the heavy sword covered in ice crystals.
As time went by, the number of beasts dwindled under the fierce attacks of the spirit flames, and the once dense, dark mass of beasts was long gone.
The remaining demonic beasts also kept their distance, staring at Qin Luo with fear in their eyes, and dared not approach him easily.
Seeing this, Qin Luo slowly raised his hands, and the raging spiritual flames slowly receded towards him. Wherever the spiritual flames passed, waves of heat emanated.
At the same time, countless faint points of light flickered within the spiritual flames, appearing particularly conspicuous under the reflection of the flames.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be clusters of beast souls of different colors! Under the sweep of the spiritual flames, they were being drawn together and converging towards Qin Luo as the flames contracted.
As the spiritual flames continued to recede, the beast souls gathered more and more densely in front of Qin Luo, forming a colorful ball of light.
Each beast soul exudes a unique aura, some powerful, some agile, some sinister...
After he had retrieved the last wisp of spiritual flame and all the beast souls, Qin Luo finally let out a soft breath, and the purple and green patterns on his body faded away like a tide.
After doing all this, Qin Luo didn't pause and instantly flew away into the distance.
Seeing this, Zhao Hu and the others, not daring to be negligent, also noticed the beast tide surging again from the distant horizon and quickly followed.
The four raced through the desolate ancient forest, constantly dodging the relentless horde of beasts that pursued them. Relying on their individual skills, they narrowly escaped death time and again, finally managing to break free of the forest.
As soon as the group stepped out of the perilous forest, before they could even catch their breath, a golden spear cleaved through the horde of beasts. The spear shone with dazzling light and carried boundless power, carving a path through the beast tide.
Immediately afterward, the spear hurtled towards Qin Luo and the others at incredible speed. As it drew near, a figure emerged from the void, instantly grasped the spear, and landed steadily in front of them.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Deng Junguang. He stood tall and straight, showing no signs of fatigue, but rather exuding a sense of valor and composure that came with the experience of a great battle.
Although his clothes were somewhat torn and stained with the blood of many demonic beasts, this did not make him look disheveled; on the contrary, it added to his heroic air.
Deng Junguang held the golden spear in his hand, and spiritual energy flowed faintly on the spear. As the light flashed, a sharp aura quietly emanated from it.
Seeing Deng Junguang's high fighting spirit, Qin Luo couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"As expected of someone on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, even the ninety-eighth-ranked person can remain so calm and composed amidst this terrifying beast tide. Just how powerful must the top fifty or even the top ten experts be?"
Thinking of this, Qin Luo couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure. He knew that if he wanted to go in and check on the mission six months from now, he would first have to climb into the top five of the popularity rankings.
"Senior Deng!" Zhao Hu and Lin Yu called out in unison upon seeing this.
Deng Junguang smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone. Seeing that although they were all a little disheveled, they were all unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said in a deep voice:
"We can't stay here any longer. We need to hurry to Lingfeng City to complete the mission, lest things get complicated."
Everyone nodded in agreement, said no more, tidied their belongings, and followed Deng Junguang as they sped off towards Lingfeng City.
As they moved further away from the desolate ancient forest, the surrounding scenery slowly changed. The road became flat and wide, and the outline of Lingfeng City could be faintly seen in the distance. The tall city walls shone with golden light under the sunlight, exuding an indescribable grandeur.
Upon entering the city, a bustling and prosperous atmosphere immediately greets you. The streets are teeming with pedestrians, lined with shops on both sides, and the sounds of hawking and shouting mingle together, creating a lively and vibrant scene.
Deng Junguang stopped, turned to face the crowd, and said:
“The Lord’s residence in Lingfeng City has many rules, and it would be inconvenient for too many people to go. I will go alone to make the handover. You can wait around here for a while and don’t go too far. There are many people in this city, and it will be difficult to find if you get separated.”
Seeing this, everyone could only nod and wait in the city. Only then did Deng Junguang turn around with relief and walk towards the direction of the city lord's mansion, his figure gradually disappearing into the crowd.
After Deng Junguang left, Zhao Hu and Lin Yu chatted casually.
Dan Bingli stood calmly in place, like a snow lotus blooming in the cold winter, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
She quietly watched the crowds coming and going around her, her eyes cool and calm, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with her.
Occasionally, a few clueless passersby would be attracted by her beauty and try to strike up a conversation, but before they could get close, they would be frightened back by the cold aura emanating from her.
Before long, Deng Junguang appeared in everyone's sight. He walked briskly and had a relaxed smile on his face after completing the task.
When he reached the group, he looked around and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that everyone was safe and sound.
"The mission has been successfully completed. Here are the spiritual points obtained from this mission. Everyone has worked hard. As per the mission instructions, these points will be distributed equally among you."
As Deng Junguang spoke, he waved his hand and distributed the spiritual points to each person's spiritual point token.
Upon receiving the notification that their spiritual points had been credited, everyone was overjoyed and expressed their gratitude.
Seeing this, Deng Junguang smiled slightly, then seemed to remember something and said with a faint smile:
"Oh, by the way, City Lord Xuanfeng just mentioned that there might be a large auction in Qingyun Heaven soon. It's said that many rare treasures will be on display, including long-lost spiritual techniques and secret manuals, as well as rare and precious materials that can greatly increase cultivation speed, and so on..."
"Now that the mission is complete, I think we should go and take a look. Maybe we can find some treasures. What do you guys think?"
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Qin Luo's eyes. This was the moment he had been waiting for for this mission!
