C105 (1/2)
Within the cave, the cold wind howled.
Standing in front of the majestic stone door and looking at the pattern of the keyhole, Qin Shi licked his chapped lips in surprise, ”Looks like Cui Yunhai wasn't lying to me. This Tears of Crystals is indeed the key to opening this stone door.”
Cui Yunhai impatiently said, ”Why don't you hurry up and open the stone door?”
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shi nodded. He did not continue to drag it out and directly took out the Tears of Crystals from his spatial ring. Tears of crystals suddenly appeared and a stream of freezing cold air swept through the cave. It was like an absolute freezing world, even the wet moss on the cliff walls of the cave had formed a thin layer of ice.
Influenced by the cold currents of the Tears of Crystals, a strong resonance suddenly appeared between the solid stone door and the Tears of Crystals, continuously emitting weak trembling sounds. Suddenly, the Tears of Crystals emitted a faint blue light, and the light pointed straight at the key hole in the stone door.
”How amazing!”
Qin Shi and Cui Yunhai were both surprised.
BOOM!
When the light ray from the Tears of Crystals had completely fused into the key hole, a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the tightly shut stone door. Golden rays of light came from the crack, and the light was like the noon sun, illuminating the entire cave. Shortly after, the stone door opened bit by bit.
After the stone door was opened, an exquisite corridor appeared in front of them.
The hallway was filled with pure spiritual power.
Seeing this, Qin Shi was quite excited in his heart. However, at this moment, his brows tightened, ”Killing intent?”
In his excitement, Qin Shi could clearly feel an intense blood aura and killing intent coming from behind him. This killing intent came from his very bones. Without any obstruction, he turned his head away in fright. Cui Yunhai's ferocious face was twitching, his palm brought with it a fierce, cold wind as he closed in on Chu Feng's chest like a thunderbolt.
”Cui Yunhai? ”Damn it!”
Qin Shi had not expected Cui Yunhai to attack him at such a critical moment. Without hesitation, Qin Shi grabbed his head and rolled on the ground. He quickly dodged Cui Yunhai's sharp claws and asked, ”Elder Cui, what is the meaning of this?”
”What do you mean?” After his attack missed, Cui Yunhai did not seem anxious at all. Instead, he gave a strange smile and said, ”What do you think? It is you who is courting death, you must come with me to this cave, now that the stone door has been opened, you must die today! ”
Qin Shi felt a chill in his heart. He crawled up and nervously took a few steps back.
”Everyone in the sect knows that I, Qin Shi, came out together with you, Elder Cui.” Gritting his teeth, Qin Shi quickly thought about it and brought Ling Xiao out. ”If I die, the Li Huo Sect will not let you off, and Sect Leader Ling Xiao will not let you off either!”
”Ling Xiao? Haha, what a joke! ”
”As long as I kill you, all the treasures in this Tears of Crystals stone door will belong to me. When that time comes, Ling Xiao, the Li Huo Sect, who can do anything to me? The entire ancient city will be mine, accept your death! ” As the spiritual energy within the cave rolled about, Cui Yunhai malevolently stretched out his arms, letting out a laugh that would make people want to do something evil.
Hearing that, Qin Shi's heart tightened.
He had never imagined that Cui Yunhai's ambitions would be so high. It seemed that he was only holding back in the sect, and wasn't truly loyal. At this moment, he suddenly thought back to back at the Gu Feng Auction House. Cui Yunhai clearly had a supreme status, but he had purposely dressed up as a shawl to hide his face, and had mixed into the rows of seats.
From this alone, he could tell how shrewd Cui Yunhai was.
Realizing this, Qin Shi was filled with regret as he inwardly cursed, ”As expected, the older, the wiser. This time, I've fallen into his trap. It was no wonder that he didn't reveal anything in the sect. It turned out that he had been thinking about betraying the sect for a long time. Damn it, what should we do? ”
Qin Shi was powerless against Cui Yunhai.
As an elder of the Lihuo Sect, Cui Yunhai wasn't as good as Mo Chen at breaking through to the Spirit Realm, but he was still at the peak of the Spirit Sealing realm. As a half-step into the Spirit Destruction Realm, the difference between the two of them was simply qualitative.
Not allowing him to think any further, Cui Yunhai had already begun his ferocious assault.
Under the fierce attack, Qin Shi had to fight back with a great deal of difficulty. His eyes kept darting around, looking for an opportunity to escape. However, this cave was located in the center of the precipice. If he rushed forward recklessly, he would surely be smashed to smithereens.
What should he do?
Spiritual energy like raging waves exploded into a vast light in the sky.
Cui Yunhai brought his hands together in front of his chest and formed a mysterious hand seal, from within came blazing flames. The flames not only did not waver under the cold wind, but instead burned brighter and brighter, finally turning into a raging fire, floating above the cave.
”Raging Flames of the Burning Heaven?”
Looking at the raging flames, Qin Shi's heart tightened.
Ke ke, little fellow, your eyesight is quite good. Since you know about the Burning Heaven Flame, I believe you should also understand its strength. Cui Yunhai gave a devilish laugh as he extended his five fingers, causing five blinding flames to appear. The flames burned brightly in the sky, causing the scorching sun to dim in comparison.
”Mist Burning Curse, One Curse, Shocking the Heavens and Earth!”
Facing the blazing fire, Qin Shi swiftly counterattacked and quickly formed a seal with his hand. A baleful dragon rose into the air from the seal, fighting against the raging fire in the air, creating a mighty force. The entire cave trembled a little, and cracks snaked and shattered on the cliff wall.
Bang!
