Chapter 41: A Bet! (Part 1)

  "Beast Emperor Blood Mirror!"

  In the gap of green flames, Qin Yi let out a furious roar, his entire body's true energy bursting forth in an instant. Between life and death, there was no room for even a single moment of hesitation!

  Boom!

  A magnified aura, like a surging river, deep and majestic, bursts out, forcibly dispelling the explosive power of the shattered souls of yin and yang, neutralizing another part of it!

  The golden giant word of invincibility, followed closely, protecting Qin Yi. Although it was instantly blasted by the green flames, the impact force of the flames reduced nine layers!

  But even so, Qin Yi still felt that his back was like being trampled by a giant elephant, and his internal organs almost spewed out of his throat. His vision went black as he hugged Luo Xiao and plunged into the sea.

  Lei Tian's eyes sparkled with a mixture of surprise and delight: "The Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror is in his hands!"

  Plunging into the icy sea water, Qin Yi's mind buzzed with shock. He hadn't expected the power of the Yin Yang Shattered Soul Bullet to be so great. Fortunately, his true energy was strong and he had the Invincible Golden Body protecting him. If he hadn't protected Luo Xiao just now, she would have been burned to death by now.

  His heart and lungs felt like they were on fire, Qin Yi's head was buzzing, he suddenly felt his body lighten, fresh air rushed in from all sides, squinting to look around, it turned out that Luo Xiao was supporting him, and they had flown onto the reef.

  Jian Luo was unharmed, and Qin Yi's heart immediately felt at ease.

  "Brother, how are you?" Wu Peng and the others rushed over at the first time, took Qin Yi from Luo's hand and let him lean against the reef.

  Luò Huò faced the sky, her palm flipping over, and the scattered light in mid-air gathered together like a rainbow-colored ribbon, weaving back and forth, converging into a single beam, gradually restoring its shape as an umbrella, slowly flying back to Luò's hand.

  "The formation is damaged, I need to go back and ask my sister to repair it for me." Luohuo took a quick look and put away the Qinghong Treading Cloud Umbrella, then pulled out a blue porcelain bottle from her pocket, poured out all the Huiqi Dan inside, about ten or more, and fed them all into Qin Yi's mouth.

  Huiqi Dan is a high-grade elixir that can instantly replenish true energy, treat injuries, and has an excellent effect. However, its refining method is difficult to master, requiring 100 types of medicinal materials and condensing them for dozens of days to produce one batch. Therefore, it belongs to the middle grade of Ren Dan, along with Huisou Dan, which can increase one's lifespan by ten years.

  He took more than ten Rejuvenation Pills in a row, and the medicinal power transformed into a rolling hot current that poured into Qin Yi's limbs.

  Although the medicinal power of over a dozen Reverted Qi Pills was not comparable to his own silently operating Eight Trigrams Great Technique, at least Luo Xiao's kind intentions warmed Qin Yi's heart. Luo Xiao had given him all the Reverted Qi Pills to take, and at this time, there were still nearly ten days until the end of this bounty mission, she didn't hold back in the slightest.

  After a brief rest, Qin Yi's complexion returned to normal, which surprised the surrounding crowd. Even if it was Luo Xiao, who had reached the peak of the Earth-Shaking Rankings, if he were to receive such an impact, even with the consumption of large amounts of medicinal pills, he would need at least several dozen days of recuperation. Qin Yi's physical resilience left them secretly astonished.

  "Thanks, Qin Yitian." Luo also knew that if Qin hadn't intervened just now, she would have suffered serious injuries today and possibly even dropped in rank. The chances of defending her first place title in the upcoming ranking tournament four months later would be greatly reduced.

  "Luo Xiao just protected all of us with her own strength, she should be the one to thank." Qin Yikou said politely.

  Being able to get along well with Luo Xiao would be of great help for his future at Tian Sheng College, and Luo Xiao's status in the college was not low at all, which could be seen from her attitude towards Wu Chen Lao that day.

  Lei Tian and two other disciples also fell onto the reef at this moment, walking towards Qin Yi.

  Those two disciples were now looking at Qin Yi with eyes full of admiration.

  Although they also reached the realm of Ji Ti and had magical treasures in hand, they were all on the line between life and death. None of them reacted as quickly as Qin Yi, and even if they were allowed to do so, it would not be possible for them to achieve such perfection as Qin Yi's bravery matched his strength, making them look at him with admiration.

  Lei Tian gazed at Qin Yi and Luo Hua, his eyes flashing with a fierce glint, and when he saw the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror in Qin Yi's hand, his eyes were suddenly filled with greed.

  "Qin Yishi, you're really good at this!" Lei Tian said, looking at Qin Yishi with a tone that didn't quite match his words.

  "Thank you, Brother Lei Tian." Qin Yi knew Lei Tian's true nature, but at this moment he didn't expose him either, and politely responded with a fake smile.

  "This time, killing the Black Water Prince and the Extreme Joy Cultivator, everyone's contributions are not small. It can be said that in the bounty mission, the three most important tasks, we have completed two of them. When we return, it will definitely cause a sensation in the academy!" Lei Tian's face was full of enthusiasm as he spoke to Qin Yi: "Especially you, Qin Yi junior brother, who actually obtained the Beast Emperor Blood Mirror, this is a top-grade treasure among heavenly artifacts! The contributions to our Tian Sheng Academy are not ordinary! Everyone's gains are not small, and now we're all injured. We'll set off on our return journey now. Junior brother, you should hand over the Beast Emperor Blood Mirror to the academy, and you will definitely receive many rewards. Congratulations in advance from your senior brother!"

  "Hand it over to the sect?" Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood Lei Tian's intention!

  The Extreme Bliss Sect's person was killed by himself, the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror fell into his own hands. Lei Tian can now say that he is extremely angry, but since there are still other disciples present, he cannot forcefully take it away. So, he came up with this vicious plan to let Qin Yi hand it over to the Academy.

  What he can't get, he won't let others have either.

  Qin Yi could even predict that if Luo Hua and the other two disciples were not present, Lei Tian would have killed himself and Wu Peng's four people, snatched away the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror, and then monopolized the credit for killing Extreme Joy Dao Ren and Hei Shui Gongzi.

  At that time, he only needs to say that when he rushed to rescue them, it was already too late, and Qin Yi and the others had been killed by the fish people, so he can shirk responsibility cleanly.

  After all, Qin Yi and others are now just outer disciples, the college is not very important, besides, bounty tasks, death is normal, the college will not send someone to investigate.

  Looking at Lei Tian's smiling face, Qin Yi gazed into his eyes and saw the anger and greed in the depths of his eyes!

  "The academy's rules seem to have never mentioned that the treasures obtained after killing enemies should be handed over to the academy, right?" Qin Yi smiled and said.

  "Although there's no such saying, but Brother, don't forget that if I hadn't killed Hei Shui Gongzi and protected you all, you wouldn't have had the chance to kill Ji Le Dao Ren. So, I think you should hand over the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror to the sect and let the elder decide who it belongs to." Lei Tian's tone carried an undisguised threat, "Brother, shouldn't you be at the Jie Mo realm? For a Jie Mo realm to defeat a Ji Ti realm's Ji Le Dao Ren, I'm afraid no one in the academy would believe that."

  Everyone around heard the meaning of Leitian's tone, wanting to rob the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror. Wu Peng and others immediately stood up in anger, and Luo Luo and two other low-ranking disciples also frowned.
