Chapter 40: Explosion!

  "Killing you, I can get many rewards in the academy, supplement my strength, and when the time comes to rank first in the Earthquake List competition, I will be favored by the principal. At that time, breaking through to the Flame Soul Boundary won't be a pipe dream!" Lei Tian's mind was racing with calculations, his eyes fixed tightly on Hei Shui Gongzi.

  Heishui Gongzi also had a treasure on him, but his own realm was far inferior to Leitian's, and he had little chance of escaping today.

  "Lei Tian, don't think that just because you're stronger than me, you can easily kill me. If you don't believe it, come and try, I'll definitely make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Hei Shui Gongzi gritted his teeth, his feet stomping on the ground as the Huo Luo fire wheel blazed fiercely, scorching the air.

  "You think you're worthy of my fear? I, who am as insignificant as an ant?" Lei Tian raised the Chi Xiao Bow, his true energy condensed, and a brilliant light like the sun began to shine.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  In the distance, the sea surface was suddenly split open, and three true energies, like a long rainbow, flashed and rushed over, stopping around Lei Tian in just a few breaths. The seawater was impacted by the air waves, churning up giant waves of over ten zhang!

  Seeing the newcomers, it turned out that they were three students from Tian Sheng College again, and their realms were not low either. In Hei Shui Gongzi's eyes, a desperate look suddenly appeared.

  "It's Luo Lu Shifu!" Xu looked up at the sky, overjoyed.

  Now several powerful companions have arrived, Hei Shui Gong Zi is absolutely dead, and the few of them are also safe.

  Qin Yi was also paying attention to the situation at this moment. The three people who rushed over were Luo Hua and two other students from Tian Sheng College.

  They were all teamed up from the start, with green waist tags indicating that they were all low-ranking disciples of the Academy.

  Low-ranking disciples are at least in the realm of offering marrow!

  In mid-air, along with Lei Tian, there were a total of four people. Each of them could control the air and step on the waves, indicating that they were not just low-ranking disciples, but at least had reached the level of low-ranking disciples who had achieved the state of "Feng Ti", and each of them possessed a treasure that could greatly enhance their true energy!

  Originally, Lei Tian alone was enough to kill Hei Shui Gongzi, now three people have appeared, and there is also Luo Huan, the first on the Earth Ranking List. The last thread of life of Hei Shui Gongzi has been extinguished.

  "Luo Xiao, Lei Tian, you both actually came just to kill me. The prestige of Hei Shui Gongzi is really not ordinary." Hei Shui Gongzi gazed at the crowd with venomous resentment, his cold laughter continuous.

  "Lei Tian, fortunately you discovered the demonic energy here a step earlier. Otherwise, our academy's disciples would have probably died miserably at Hei Shui Gong Zi's hands." Luo Xiao swept her gaze over Qin Yi and others, nodding slightly when she saw Qin Yi, as if greeting him.

  "Slashing demons and eliminating evil is what we should be doing in the first place." Lei Tian had an air of righteousness about him.

  After hearing Luo Luo and Lei Tian's conversation, Qin Yi suddenly understood that Luo Luo and the other two disciples still didn't know about Lei Tian's true nature.

  He views the lives of his fellow disciples as nothing, using Qin Yi and others as bait to deceive his companions, wanting to monopolize the credit for himself. His heart is ruthless and his mind is meticulous. If it weren't for Qin Yi's extraordinary intuition, having overheard his conversation with Hei Shui Gongzi, he would probably be looking at Lei Tian with grateful eyes like Wu Peng and others.

  "There's a rumor in the academy that Leitian Shixiong has always had feelings for Luoluo Shijie, and now it seems they're really a match made in heaven." Zeng Xuan gazed off into space, a look of longing on his face. "When can I be as powerful as them?"

  "Don't worry, this time when we return to the academy, the fish demon cores we've collected will be enough for us to exchange for a lot of merit points and rewards. When the time comes, we'll advance together!" Qin Yi patted Zeng Xuan's shoulder, turned his head to look at Lei Tian, and deeply engraved the other person's face into his heart.

  "This thunder day, heart demon has been born, bringing so many fish people, actually for one's own private benefit, wanting to harm my life, I will absolutely not let you go!"

  Just as Qin Yi was making a silent vow in her heart, Luo Hua and Lei Tian said a few words and flew over to them.

  Facing the person who has been at the top of the Earthquake Rankings for a long time, Wu Peng and others were all very tense, but Qin Yi was much more natural. After all, he had cultivated the Black Python's Heaven-Defying Technique, his heart was super calm, and his mind was as vast as the mountains and seas, far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

  "You are all injured, take this Qi Dan, it will be very beneficial for your injuries to recover." Luo Xiao smiled slightly, her fingertips lightly touched, several crimson pills, emitting a faint fragrance, floated into the palms of everyone.

  Several people thanked him and took the Revival Dan in one mouthful. Instantly, they felt a warm current surging through their limbs and bones. Wu Peng, Zhao Jing Sheng, Xu, and Zeng Xuan's internal injuries were more severe, but after taking the Revival Dan, their complexions improved greatly.

  Qin Yi consecutively defeated Ji Le Dao Ren and Hei Shui Gong Zi, but his injuries were basically negligible due to his robust physique. However, thanks to Luo Xiao's kind intentions, he still took the Hui Qi Dan and expressed gratitude.

  Lei Tian suspended in mid-air, saw Luo Hua presenting Dan, smiling and talking with Qin Yi and others.

  He could see that Luo Lu and Qin Yi seemed to know each other, and when talking to Qin Yi, Luo Lu's face was filled with a relaxed smile, a kind of smile that Luo had never shown to him before!

  Looking at Qin Yi, Lei Tian's eyes were like a poisonous snake, shrouded in dark clouds.

  Qin Yi suddenly had a feeling of being stared at, looked up towards Lei Tian, Lei Tian's eyes were cold and gloomy, swept Qin Yi with a glance, then turned his head away.

  "Dare to defy me?" Qin Yi sensed the hostility in Lei Tian's eyes and let out a cold hum in his heart.

  "Black Water Young Master, accept your death!" The anger towards Qin Yi was all transferred to Black Water Young Master by Lei Tian. The Red Cloud Bow was drawn to its fullest extent, the air around it spiraling and forming a whirlpool that converged at the arrowhead.

  A low rumble, as if a massive turbine was spinning at high speed.

  Hei Shui Gongzi's pupils constricted, his face turned pale, and he muttered to himself. The wind and fire wheels under his feet spun faster and faster, almost igniting the air within a radius of one zhang around him.

  "Scorching City Destroying Flame Arrows!"

  Boom!

  A long arrow shot out from a halo of light, piercing the air and leaving a golden trail behind it, shooting straight at Hei Shui Gong Zi.

  "Ah!" Hei Shui Gongzi didn't retreat, but instead bared his teeth and pounced towards Lei Tian, his black cloak fluttering and making a rustling sound.

  Bang!

  A long arrow shot into Hei Shui Gong Zi's abdomen, a flash of light, a loud explosion, Hei Shui Gong Zi's entire back exploded, blood, flesh, and internal organs all scattered everywhere, mixed together, intestines broken into dozens of pieces, scattered all over the place, the fractured vertebrae on his back, buried in the bloody flesh, could be seen!

  His internal organs were almost all blown out of his body by Lei Tian's arrow, but Hei Shui Gongzi surprisingly didn't die!

  Underfoot, the skull of the wind and fire wheel was filled with energy, green flames burning fiercely, making a loud noise, drawing two mysterious arcs in mid-air, as Hei Shui Gongzi's body suddenly plummeted downwards, with a loud crash, the flames exploded, shooting straight towards Lei Tian and the others!

  Hei Shui Gongzi's mouth was curved into a sinister smile, his eyes were wide open, and blood splattered behind him. His body seemed to be inflated like a balloon, swelling up in the blink of an eye, and then again, it expanded to more than five times its original size. His cheeks puffed out like a meatball, and his eyeballs popped out with two loud "pops" from their sockets, as blood gushed out.

  A green flame suddenly burst forth from under Hei Shui Gongzi's feet and instantly engulfed his entire body!

  Far away, it looked like a huge meatball burning with green flames, flying across the sky.

  The most terrifying thing was that the green flames covered Hei Shui Gongzi's body and condensed into a roaring skull!

  The huge mouth opens wide, wailing and screaming, extremely tragic, as if countless wronged souls are howling and struggling.

  "Yin Yang Fragmented Soul Bullet! Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!"

  A vague roar, bellowed from the mouth of a skull, thousands of ferocious spirits wanting to struggle out of the mouth of the skull, the surroundings instantly eerie and ghostly, as if hell had descended upon the world.

  Everyone suddenly had a feeling that their lives were being manipulated by Hei Shui Gongzi.

  "Not good!" As soon as they heard this name, Lei Tian and Luo Xiao's faces changed at the same time.

  "Yin-yang shattered soul bullet, the explosive power is enough to penetrate both yin and yang realms! This is an evil treasure that only ancient gods and demons could refine, it's been extinct for ages, how can Hei Shui Gong Zi still have some?" Amidst the sparks, Qin Yi's mind flashed with information about the Yin-yang shattered soul bullet.

  This information was seen by him when he flipped through the books of Tian Sheng College, in the category of Fa Bao.

  Lei Tian and Luo Hua also clearly understood the horror of the Yin Yang Fragmented Soul Bullet, which was why their faces looked so unsightly.

  "Sunlight shines brightly, splitting the void, with flames as its name and light as its form, Azure Swan steps on cloud umbrella! Open!" Just as Lei Tian and others were stunned, Luo Hua suddenly rose up like a flash of lightning, silently reciting incantations in her mouth, her two hands spread apart, and with one swing, golden red light burst forth from her palms, weaving together to form a large cluster of auspicious clouds that rapidly expanded, forming a gigantic umbrella dozens of feet wide, blocking the way in front of everyone.

  "Wu Peng exclaimed in a loud voice, 'A Green Phoenix Cloud Parasol! It's actually a Dao-grade Green Phoenix Cloud Parasol!'"

  Everyone's gaze was immediately drawn to Qinghong Treading Cloud Umbrella.

  Several large arrays, with the green thrush treading on cloud umbrellas opening up, start one after another. Rows of talismans appear in mid-air, golden characters, red light, imperial aura, majestic and powerful.

  Yin and Yang shattered soul bullets collided with rows of talismans, but the speed of their advance was also hindered, slowing down more and more. As they approached Qinghong's Treading Cloud Umbrella, a loud explosion suddenly erupted!

  A miserable green light, oppressive, bursting, booming expansion, releasing out, as if millions of ghosts, all shot out together, the seawater and air within a hundred feet, rushing towards the surroundings, waves rolling, space seems to have twisted.

  The light on the cloud umbrella was subjected to unprecedented impact, flickering and darkening, with cracks appearing one after another.

  Luò's face turned red and white, and with a sudden "poof" sound, a blood arrow shot out of her mouth. The protective light membrane formed by the Qinghong Treading Cloud Umbrella also shattered instantly, turning into flowing light.

  The protective layer formed by the Azure Swan's Cloud Umbrella had blocked out most of the impact of the Yin-Yang Shattered Soul Bullet, but as the protective layer exploded, the remaining eerie green flames, like an octopus' tentacles, wrapped around Luo Xiao.

  Once touched by these flames, the burns caused cannot be healed unless a rare and precious treasure is used!

  Seeing the increasingly close flames, Luò Huò gritted her teeth and wanted to dodge by circulating her Qi. However, as soon as she started running her true Qi, a severe pain erupted in her Dantian, and another mouthful of blood arrows spurted out.

  Lei Tian and others were more than ten zhang away from him, scared silly, and couldn't even come to his rescue.

  The green flames danced like a ghostly shadow, close at hand, and Luo Yu could even feel the chilly temperature of the flames.

  Luò dropped the struggle, just about to close her eyes and accept being burned by the flames, when suddenly a figure flashed in the corner of her eye. A human shape, swift as lightning, wrapped around her waist, holding her in his arms, while his own back faced the surging flames!

  "It's you!" Luo Xiao was shocked, and at this moment, the one who came to protect her was actually that outer disciple named Qin Yi.

  The flames were about to touch Qin Yi, when he gritted his teeth and a surge of true energy burst forth from his dantian. Amidst the stunned expressions of the onlookers, the dark green flames engulfed Qin Yi and Luo Hua. Unnoticed by them in that instant, a flash of golden light appeared on Qin Yi's back, with two golden characters "Invincible" emerging, ancient, powerful, and fiercely confronting the flames.
