“Ah!…” Zhong Zizhen’s palm was scorched red, and he threw away the Golden Firestorm Sword he had obtained with great difficulty.
Qin Yichen controlled his Spirit Sword while unceremoniously picking up this Spirit Weapon.
As soon as he touched it, he felt the scorching heat as well. It was definitely different from the temperature of his Yuan Energy.
It was scalding to the hand, while his Yuan Energy was burning to the heart.
Still, Qin Yichen quickly adapted to it.
“You’re seeking death!” Seeing Qin Yichen pick up the Golden Firestorm Sword, Zhong Zizhen was not angry but delighted. Having learned his lesson, he naturally knew the peculiarity of that Spirit Weapon. If even he, with his powerful Yuan Energy, could not hold onto it, would this kid not be asking for trouble by picking it up!?
However, Zhong Zizhen was unaware that this Spirit Weapon hardly caused trouble for Qin Yichen.
[Oh? There’s also Sword Qi inside?] After sensing it briefly, Qin Yichen detected a terrifying energy within the Golden Firestorm Sword. However, that energy seemed to be sealed. If not for his extremely sensitive Spiritual Energy, he probably would not have been able to detect it.
“Die!” While Qin Yichen was somewhat surprised, Zhong Zizhen roared angrily, wielding the sword in his hand and thrusting violently towards Qin Yichen.
Before Zhong Zizhen’s sword reached Qin Yichen, the latter’s cheeks had already been cut with a few shallow wounds by the sharp Sword Qi.
This time, Zhong Zizhen had thoroughly displayed the strength of a Spirit Realm expert.
“Are you seeking death? Quickly dodge!” Bian Lingzhu inadvertently saw that Qin Yichen was motionless, as if stunned by this sword strike, and could not help but shout. After all, if Qin Yichen died, she would not be able to escape either.
“How interesting!” However, faced with the incoming sword strike, Qin Yichen seemed unaware. He was just looking at the Golden Firestorm Sword in his hand, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile.
As Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy removed the seal within the Golden Firestorm Sword, this Spirit Weapon actually flew out of his hand. On its blade, complex Symbols began to flicker.
Suddenly, in this great hall, the sword light suddenly became intense, vaguely mixed with a terrifying aura.
*Swish…* At this moment, Zhong Zizhen’s sword had struck the blade of the Golden Firestorm Sword.
*Clang!* With a crisp sound, Zhong Zizhen’s body was directly repelled. Looking at the chipped sword in his hand, Zhong Zizhen’s face changed drastically.
Meanwhile, the blade of the Golden Firestorm Sword did not even have a mark on it.
Before Zhong Zizhen could react, the Golden Firestorm Sword seemed to have gained sentience. A sword light about ten metres long shot out from its tip, its target clearly being Zhong Zizhen who had attacked it earlier!
“How… how is this possible?!” Under this terrifying sword light, Zhong Zizhen felt a chill from the depths of his Soul. However, he did not even have time to dodge before he was swept across by this terrifying sword light.
*Boom!* The entire hall shook violently at this moment. Dust rolled everywhere, and even the everlasting Death Energy seemed to be scattered under this sword light.
At this time, Bian Lingzhu and Shen Hebai both temporarily stopped, both looking in shock at the large pit that was faintly visible in the dust…
“Cough cough… pui… damn it…” Suddenly, from within the dust, a cursing voice came out, followed by a dusty and dishevelled Qin Yichen walking out looking quite miserable.
After a while, the dust slowly dispersed. At the centre of the explosion, a pit about twenty metres deep appeared in everyone’s shocked gaze.
Zhong Zizhen, who had originally been standing there, was now left with no trace…
Under such a terrifying sword light that caused such a great disturbance, even a Spirit Realm expert as strong as him would not be able to escape.
“Well, not bad… seems a bit wasteful to use it on him though…” Qin Yichen muttered softly, then looked at the Golden Firestorm Sword which had become slightly dimmer. He shook his head in regret. Then, his gaze turned to Shen Hebai, who was standing to one side with an ugly expression.
“Don’t… don’t kill me, I have many High Grade Pill Formulas, I’ll give them all to you!” Seeing Qin Yichen’s gaze, Shen Hebai’s face truly turned pale.
Unfortunately, the things he mentioned held no attraction for Qin Yichen.
Jokes aside, let alone a mere Shen Hebai, even the Alchemy Tower in the Central Continent would not be able to produce a formula that would move Qin Yichen’s heart.
Under the joint attack of Qin Yichen and Bian Lingzhu, there was almost no suspense. The famous Ghost Face Alchemy Master, Shen Hebai, also unwillingly fell here on this day.
After clearing away Shen Hebai, Qin Yichen walked to where the Death Spirit King had died. Under Bian Lingzhu’s somewhat dazed gaze, he directly pocketed the Death Spirit King’s Spirit Pearl.
Seeing Qin Yichen being so direct, Bian Lingzhu was also somewhat speechless, but thinking about it, what Qin Yichen had given her earlier was certainly not ordinary, so she let it be.
It should be known that although her Spiritual Energy was only half a step away from breaking through to Spirit Realm earlier, that half step required a vast amount of Spirit Pearls to make up.
What Qin Yichen had given her not only allowed her to break through to the Spirit Realm, most importantly, compared to the backlash when absorbing Spirit Pearls, that thing had no side effects at all!
“Hehehe… I didn’t expect the ones to last till the end would be you two kids!” Just as Qin Yichen picked up the Thousand Year Old Spirit Pearl and was preparing to leave, a dry, harsh voice echoed from the entrance of the great hall.
“An Chengtian?” Hearing this voice, Qin Yichen’s movements paused, and Bian Lingzhu’s face changed. She hurriedly turned around, vigilantly staring at the emaciated figure appearing in front of the great hall.
Following their gaze, they saw An Chengtian slowly walking through the Death Energy. The Soul Stealing Banner in his hand seemed to have become even blacker, and faintly, some Soul stirring sounds was spreading out.
“Ahhh, two delicious Spiritual Energy Spirit Realm breakthroughs. I just simply could not wait any longer…” An Chengtian chuckled sinisterly, his gaze carrying a hint of lust as it swept over Bian Lingzhu’s delicate body. Finally, his gaze settled on Qin Yichen.
“An Chengtian, you can just collect your Death Energy. There doesn’t seem to be any conflict between us, right?” Bian Lingzhu frowned as she shouted.
“Hehehe, silly girl, don’t be so impatient. After I deal with that brat, I’ll slowly savour you.” An Chengtian did not even look at Bian Lingzhu, his gaze was firmly locked onto Qin Yichen.
