Chapter 312 Qi Jun Appears
As Ye Luo's icy words fell, a terrifying sense of oppression erupted from her body.
A phantom silver dragon emerged from his chest and circled around him, its golden, piercing eyes flashing with murderous intent.
The smile on Xin Hunyin's face froze. Before he could react, he was violently blasted away by a powerful spiritual force and slammed into the ruins below. A muffled groan accompanied the flying debris.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Luo formed a series of hand seals and unleashed a barrage of magic seals, bombarding her location relentlessly. The surrounding demonic beasts and palaces were instantly reduced to dust.
Seeing this horrifying scene, the people around them disregarded everything else and fled desperately into the distance, only daring to stop when they reached a safe place.
Everyone looked up at Ye Luo with horror, only to see his cold and murderous expression, and his body radiating a dazzling silver light.
Each strike seemed to contain destructive power; how could this be the strength of someone only at the Nascent Soul stage?
Shi Yi put Du Jiaoxi down, turned to look at Feng Yue beside him, and asked, "Hey! What's going on with Ye Luo? He actually broke through to the Nascent Soul stage?!"
"Huh?" Feng Yue looked at him blankly, then shook his head and said, "I... I don't think so."
Although he didn't know the specifics, he could roughly guess the reason by looking at the silver dragon beside Ye Luo.
Qingyu said, "It seems to be some kind of secret technique, but what exactly is it that can enhance one's strength to such a terrifying level in such a short time?"
Du Jiaoxi said, "What's so strange about it? I have many secret techniques to enhance my strength, but they all damage my foundation. I just don't know if Ye Luo's will..."
Feng Yue said confidently, "No, no, the things Jun Yi gave him are definitely safe."
Qingyu glanced at him and asked with some curiosity, "Who is Jun Yi?" She had often heard them mention him before, but she didn't seem to have ever met him.
Feng Yue looked at Qing Yu and hesitated for a moment before saying, "He is Junior Brother's Daoist partner... a man."
Hearing Feng Yue specifically emphasize the gender made Qing Yu turn her face away awkwardly, muttering softly, "His taste is really strange..."
Hearing his slightly disdainful tone, Feng Yue lowered his head in disappointment, no longer daring to look at him.
Such a terrifying battle was beyond the reach of others. After Yu Qianling used his spear formation to annihilate a group of demonic beasts, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Luo was safe and sound.
Yu Xuan comforted him, "Don't worry too much. He's very strong now, probably comparable to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."
"As expected of Junior Brother, hahaha!" Cen Feng exclaimed excitedly, "Look, look, she's been beaten so badly she can't even fight back!"
Looking at the still unresolved lightning tribulation, Yu Qianling asked in surprise, "What's going on with this lightning tribulation? It's been going on for way too long!"
Yu Xuan said, "The higher the realm, the more powerful the tribulation. This duration is normal."
Suddenly, a beastly roar rang out, and the Emperor Vine Spider, seemingly having recovered, charged towards Nan Muyin once again.
"Damn it, that disgusting thing is here again!" Yu Qianling turned to look at Cen Feng and instructed, "You stay here and keep watch, Yu Xuan, come with me to kill it!"
"good!"
at the same time.
The Soul Guide, caught in a fierce bombardment in the distance, watched in horror as the magical artifacts it was holding together crumbled one by one. "Damn it, what on earth is going on?!"
In her moment of panic, she was completely bewildered. Seeing that the attacks outside seemed to have stopped, she removed the magical artifacts protecting her.
Only then did they see the devastation all around them; he had razed most of the temple to the ground, leaving only a pile of ruins.
"Damn it!" Xin Hunyin cursed angrily. She had originally planned to relocate the temple using a secret technique, but now her plan was completely shattered.
She looked up at Ye Luo with resentment, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and then revealed a maniacal smile, "It seems I was too merciful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a strange red magic circle formed around her.
The evil spirits that were originally scattered throughout the temple surged into her body like a tide, and faint, mournful howls could be heard, sounding as if she were being tortured in an endless purgatory.
In just a moment, Xinhun Yin's cultivation level increased several times over, and his whole body exuded a terrifying pressure.
"Oh no, could this be the Soul Refining Technique?"
Ye Luo's expression turned solemn, and he immediately formed a sword formation in an attempt to stop her. However, before the sword light could even get close, it was blocked by a protective barrier formed by streams of evil energy.
Seeing that he couldn't break the ordinary sword formation, Ye Luo pondered for a moment and used the Nether Rain Technique. However, just as the sword formation was about to be completed, the power he had borrowed using the Heart Seal slowly disappeared, and a feeling of fatigue quickly surged over him, and he also felt a dull pain in his abdomen.
"Tsk, does this thing have a time limit?"
Ye Luo's face turned pale. Given his current physical condition, it would be impossible to force the opening of the Heart Seal a second time.
Looking down at the soul-refining formation that was about to be completed, he couldn't care about anything else for a moment and turned to flee in the direction of Yu Qianling.
Yu Qianling, watching from afar, naturally sensed something was wrong. He abandoned the half-dead Royal Vine Spider and rushed to meet Ye Luo, who was flying towards them.
Yu Xuan asked, "Qian Ling, where are you going?!"
Yu Qianling said, "You stay here to deal with that Spider King!"
Yu Xuan watched her fleeing figure and said urgently, "Be careful!"
Yu Qianling flew to meet her, and seeing Ye Luo gradually approaching, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
But just as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw what appeared to be spatial fluctuations in front of Ye Luo. Her heart tightened, and she shouted, "Watch out!"
Upon hearing Yu Qianling's warning, Ye Luo summoned a defensive shield magic item and crouched down slightly to hide behind it.
The next second, with a "clang," a hole suddenly appeared in the void, and a strange, pitch-black spike struck the sturdy shield.
As the cracking sound rang out, Ye Luo immediately turned around and tried to escape, but she was too late.
He was suddenly entangled in a black net, and in just a moment, he was bound tightly.
"Junior Brother!" Yu Qianling was shocked to see this scene and hurriedly flew towards Ye Luo, but was blocked outside by a black thorn cage that suddenly appeared.
When she saw Ye Luo imprisoned in the cage, she became extremely anxious and launched a frantic attack, only to find that the thorny cage was exceptionally tough, and for a time she couldn't even break it.
"Yu Qianling, don't waste your energy, he can't escape."
At this moment, the void beside Ye Luo opened up, and Xin Hun Yin, exuding a strange and evil aura, walked out triumphantly from the crack.
She looked at Yu Qianling, who was furious outside the cage, and then at Ye Luo, whose expression remained unchanged, and sneered, "You think you can run away?"
Ye Luo chuckled softly: "How will I know if I don't try? Sitting and waiting for death is not my style."
"Try it?" Xin Hunyin laughed instead of getting angry. "Have you come up with a plan yet?"
"Of course I thought of that." Ye Luo's face suddenly became inscrutable. "Would you like to hear it?"
"Oh? I'm quite interested."
"First, divine soldiers will descend from the heavens; second, we will fight you to the death."
After listening, Xin Hun Yin chuckled, "That's all?"
"uh-huh."
Upon hearing this, Xin Hunyin burst into unrestrained laughter, then suddenly grabbed his neck. The hidden Moon Silkworm Silk automatically defended itself, transforming into blades of silk gleaming with a ghostly light, but she easily caught them.
"Is this your retaliation?" Her face was full of mockery as she tightened her grip on his neck, coldly asking, "Where's your divine weapon? Where is it? I can't see it."
Ye Luo's face turned red from being pinched, and the veins on her forehead bulged as she chuckled, "Don't rush, the character is loading... please wait."
"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll wait!"
The Soul Guide's sharp gaze lingered on Yu Qianling, who had broken free of his cage, and a mocking smile crept onto his lips. "Your divine weapon doesn't seem to be all that great, does it?"
The extreme lack of oxygen caused Ye Luo's consciousness to gradually blur, and she could no longer hold back and cursed, "Hey, you bastard... if you keep watching, I'll die..."
Hearing Ye Luo talking to herself, Xin Hun Yin snorted coldly, "Bluster, pretentious act! It seems all you have left is stubbornness."
"Heh." Ye Luo grinned and chuckled, his half-closed eyes filled with disdain and provocation.
This enraged the proud Soul Guide, who said in a deep voice, "It seems you are more suited to be a corpse and stored in my storage ring!"
With that, a murderous glint flashed in her eyes, and she instantly tightened her grip on Ye Luo's neck, attempting to finish him off.
But in an instant, a terrifying power suddenly surged from his body, violently blasting her several meters away.
"What?!"
With a steady footing, the soul guide landed. Ye Luo stood in mid-air with her eyes closed, her blue robes fluttering without wind, and a surge of fierce and powerful spiritual energy emanated from her, followed by a terrifying pressure.
"Who...who are you?!"
Xin Hun Yin's voice trembled slightly, and the familiar spiritual pressure made her soul tremble.
Although ten thousand years have passed, the mark of fear in her heart is still unforgettable.
Suddenly, Ye Luo was surrounded by a red mist, and his originally jet-black and beautiful long hair turned into slightly curled white hair in an instant.
Even his originally delicate and refined face is gradually changing, becoming both alluring and stunningly handsome.
He slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, his crimson pupils looking extremely sinister, the slightly upturned corners of his eyes seeming to hide endless allure.
Looking at that face that could bewitch all living beings, Xin Hunyin's face twisted into a ferocious expression. He was both shocked and furious, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Qi, I never expected it to be you!"
Qi Jun raised an eyebrow at her, a carefree smile playing on his lips. "It seems you have a deep impression of me?"
Enraged, the soul retorted, "Indeed, ten thousand years have passed, yet you are still alive! So what exactly do you want?"
"What do you want to do?" Qi Jun pretended to think, then chuckled and said, "Now that the chessboard has been set up, there has to be someone to play the game."
"Playing chess?" Just as Xin Hun Yin was wondering, a "crack" of thunder came from afar, and it seemed that Nan Mu Yin's last wave of lightning tribulation was about to end.
Her heart tightened suddenly, as if she understood something, and she murmured incredulously, "Nan Muyin, Yu Qianling, Feng Yue, Cen Feng, and that damned Yu Xian'er..."
I never expected it to be them!
She should have thought of that sooner.
Whether it's that Phoenix Scale Spear, those broken puppets, or that bone sword buried deep underground... how could they possibly happen to recognize them as their master?
Qi Jun chuckled: "It seems you've figured it out?"
"Hmph, so what?" Xin Hun Yin's face darkened. "Even so, the scheme you painstakingly set up for me is nothing but a mirage, a castle in the air!"
"Planning for you?" Qi Jun laughed instead of getting angry. "Don't flatter yourself. You're nothing more than an obstacle that can be eliminated at any time."
"Oh, really? You make it sound so casual, so why haven't you made a move yet?"
The Soul Guide seemed to see through everything, and sneered, "When you were sacrificed, your body and soul were destroyed. Now you are nothing more than a wisp of a soul wandering in the world, just like me!"
“My return is anticipated by others, unlike yours.” Qi Jun’s eyes showed pity. “Do you think my return is solely due to my own efforts?”
"Could it be the will of Heaven?!"
"Heh, although that old bastard Tiandao is ungrateful, he's still practically a father figure to me. So, I'm also a son of Tiandao, how can I not have some special privileges?"
——
This book has been taken down again. It's happened twice in a row. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep for two days. I really don't feel like writing anymore. Also, I wanted to change the cover, but there were all sorts of restrictions that prevented me from doing so. So I'm just putting the illustrations here.
Going forward, regardless of whether this book has been reviewed or not, I will update it as I feel like, since I have started a new book elsewhere and may not be able to keep up with it.
Because I've put a lot of effort into this book, I'll give each pairing a happy ending. I don't want a rushed, unsatisfactory ending. If you don't like waiting, you can skip this. It's up to you, I won't force you.
Goodnight.
