Chapter 52: A Perilous Situation?

  In the midst of the Xuan Array, the demonic beast's energy overflowed even more magnificently. At the center of the array diagram, a golden-yellow crystal of demonic power gradually gathered and took shape. In just an instant, it coalesced into a glittering golden longbow.

  The longbow shone with a golden light all over, and on its body, a python condensed from the dark energy coiled around it. A pair of icy eyes stared tightly in Qin Hao's direction.

  "Second-order Sealing Mystical Array, Golden Jade Bow!" Qin Hao immediately recognized the name of this sealing mystical array.

  Jin Bi Gong, through the ability to guide the golden system's mysterious beast Xuan Jing, converged into a giant powerful bow. Through human effort, it can shoot out extremely powerful Xuan Qi light arrows, with a power of at least around Ling Xuan Second Layer, extremely fierce and overbearing. The only drawback is that it requires human control. Qin Hao's face suddenly became somewhat solemn.

  "Some insight." Lin wiped away the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, then swiftly moved to the golden longbow beside him, extending two fingers to press on the snake's pupil. The dark energy condensed into a python instantly underwent a transformation; its originally tightly closed bloody maw rapidly opened wide, and from within the snake's mouth, a finger as thick as a human thumb, formed by the condensation of the dark crystal's demonic power, slowly extended outwards.

  Qin Hao didn't dare to stop for a moment, his body leaning forward and his feet stepping out like an arrow, shooting straight ahead. The power of this Xuanxuan formation was unimaginable, and once it was truly formed and its power was fully unleashed, Qin Hao would face endless attacks.

  "It's like that, just solve you first then."

  In just a few breaths, Qin Hao had already rushed to within three steps of Lin Bi. He pulled his right fist back, gathering the dark energy on his palm, before striking forward with all his might.

  "Three consecutive breaks of shattered gold."

  Three fists stacked up, pulling out a piercing and ear-piercing sound of breaking the air, and then with great momentum, they roared towards Lin Bi's chest. This punch was without any reservation, Qin Hao had already mobilized his entire body's Xuan Qi to its extreme limits. As long as he settled Lin Bi, the Feng Xuan Array would naturally dissipate on its own without anyone controlling it.

  "Naive." Lin let out a snort of laughter and then reached into his chest with one hand, slowly pulling something out...

  Bang!

  A loud noise erupted, and Qin Hao finally hit the object in front of him. However, his face turned even more solemn. His fist was lowered onto a smooth and shiny ice mirror. This seemingly fragile ice mirror did not show any cracks under Qin Hao's powerful punch.

  What's even more shocking is that a cold, bone-penetrating feeling slowly spreads from Qin Hao's fist, as if it wants to invade his meridians. Under this effect, the originally surging and rapid Xuanli in Qin Hao's body suddenly slows down, like a snail crawling.

  Qin Hao hastily activated his Xuan Qi and used the "Yu Yan Jue" to dissolve the cold energy with a fierce and powerful fire.

  Lin Bi hid behind the ice mirror, his right hand holding another seal of Xuan Array, looking at Qin Hao with a mocking gaze. Qin Hao's eyes also became colder by several degrees.

  "Icy Spirit Mystic Mirror! Second Stage Seal of the Mystic Formation"

  This is a defensive formation that excels at sealing and isolating. Judging from its hardness, it can at least withstand the full force of a second-rank Spiritual Master's attack.

  With his right foot forward, Qin Hao rushed to Lin Bi's other side, his right leg raised high, like a battle axe chopping down fiercely. Just as he was about to hit Lin Bi, the ice mirror on the other side suddenly shook violently and moved with an action that even Qin Hao couldn't see clearly, blocking his attack once again.

  Qin Hao forcibly stopped one leg that was about to split, his feet constantly tapping on the ground, like a flowing light circling around Lin Bi, but no matter how fast Qin Hao's movements were, the ice mirror could always protect Lin Bi at the right time. After several attempts, Qin Hao finally gave up trying to bypass the ice mirror and decided to forcefully break through this barrier.

  "Exploding Fist! Charging Fist! Shattering Stone Palm!"

  Each move of martial arts was made, smooth and round, swift as a meteor, the fist wind was powerful, but not even a trace could be left on the ice mirror. Not even a bit of ice chips could be knocked out.

  Whoosh! A piercing sound suddenly came, and at that moment, a very dangerous feeling arose in Qin Hao's heart. With a movement of his mind, his right foot tapped the ground, and he quickly retreated rapidly.

  Bang!

  A golden light suddenly struck, hitting the ground a few steps in front of him and deeply embedding itself into the earth. The square was paved with a kind of dark rock that was as hard as gold or iron, but under this mysterious energy arrow it was broken open like tofu.

  On the longbow, the mysterious energy arrow in the python's mouth had already been shot out. However, in the blink of an eye, another light arrow condensed in the python's mouth and was shot out again.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  One after another, arrows shot through the air with a sharp whistling sound and landed at Qin Hao's feet. The square was filled with flying debris, dense rays of light shooting wildly in all directions. In just an instant, what was once a beautiful square had become pockmarked and ruined.

  Countless times, the mysterious energy arrows grazed past Qin Hao's body. Qin Hao's movements were indeed agile, but under these arrows that were several times faster than normal arrows, dodging was also extremely strenuous. In an instant, he faced numerous dangers.

  One retreat in retreat, but in an instant, the situation on both sides completely reversed.

  On the platform, Qin Feng's fists were clenched with veins bulging. He gritted his teeth to suppress the urge to rush down and stop it.

  If Lin Bi had used normal means to force Qin Hao to this point, he would have nothing to say, and it's only right that he should admit defeat since he was outdone.

  It's not a life-or-death struggle on the battlefield, nor is it a fight to the death in a narrow alley. This is a contest, with family honor and the bravery of warriors as the stakes.

  In this martial arts contest, someone actually used the Sealing Mystical Formation. Although it's true that there was no explicit rule against it, what's the difference between two warriors engaging in a fair fight, one empty-handed and the other fully armed with divine weapons?

  Lin's family would have won but lost face if they had done so, how could he imagine that they would choose such a means?

  Qin Yuxian, standing behind Qin Feng, had her jade-like hands clenched tightly, her small face icy cold, and a hint of chilliness flashed in her eyes. The mysterious aura around her was fluctuating subtly.

  "Yu Xian, don't be impulsive." Qin Shan, who was standing beside him, noticed that something was off and said in a low, serious tone.

  "I know." Qin Yuxian replied coldly. The fluctuations of power on her body showed no signs of calming down.

  Lin Bi saw Qin Hao dodging with all his might, without any spare attention, and the smile on his face grew even brighter. He suddenly bit his tongue tip and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The fresh blood sprayed onto the longbow, quickly seeping into it, and the pair of Xuan Tian's pupils wrapped around the longbow suddenly turned crimson beyond compare. Occasionally, someone would meet that pair of bloody eyes, and they would involuntarily rise with a chill.

  A power several times stronger than before fluctuated frequently around the Xuanqi snake, and its mouth opened to the limit. Then, from the snake's mouth, more than a hundred blood-glowing Xuanqi arrows stretched out simultaneously. The bloody aura was so thick that people felt like vomiting as soon as they smelled it.

  "Go to death." Lin Bi slapped heavily on the snake's head, and all the arrows in the snake's mouth shot out violently. The Xuanqi Longbow itself seemed to have dimmed a lot due to the release of power...

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  A vast, crimson aura of arrows fell from the sky, like a large net that enveloped Qin Hao's entire body. The cold, icy glow emanating from the light arrows, the sharp, piercing sound of them tearing through the air, and the nauseating smell of blood, made it seem as if everyone watching was standing in a dark, bloody land.

  Qin Hao's pressure at that moment also reached its maximum, not daring to stop for a single moment, his body jumping and changing direction frequently, with extreme angle turns, the Thousand Mile Wind Spirit's agility was brought out to the extreme.

  At that moment, Qin Hao seemed to have really transformed into a gust of wind, sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, changing unpredictably, advancing swiftly and silently.

  Seize! Seize! Seize! Seize!

  A dazzling display of footwork changes, a shocking and astonishing rain of arrows, when all this stopped, everyone clearly saw that under Qin Hao's feet, hundreds of dark energy arrows were deeply planted in the ground, while Qin Hao was unscathed, without even a tiny wound visible on his body.

  "Good! Good!" The whole field was boiling, and the cheers erupted. All the people present applauded with all their might, until their hands turned red and slightly painful without realizing it.

  Qin Yuxian's clenched palm relaxed a bit, and a subtle gentle smile appeared on her face.

  "This little rascal, indeed has some...” Qin Feng's face relaxed a lot, his tone sounded extremely pleasant, but just as he said that, his face changed drastically and he shouted loudly: "Be careful, quickly get out of the way."

  Only to see the originally calm blood-colored light arrow's surrounding yuan force rapidly fluctuating, the arrow body's light bursting forth, its extreme instantaneous brightness seemingly even surpassing the sun's radiance.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  A deafening explosion, under Qin Hao's feet, all the dark arrows exploded instantly. The rocks under Qin Hao's feet were reduced to powder, and the shattered stones shot out from a distance, filling the air with dust and debris, covering the entire scene, blocking everyone's line of sight.

  The entire square's ground seemed to have been overturned several times, and the spot where Qin Hao was just at, seemed to not even have a single sound...

  Just now still astonishing everyone's Qin Hao, actually lost like this?

  Those who were moved by Qin Hao's performance just now sincerely hope that Qin Hao can win, but in this situation, perhaps the only outcome for Qin Hao is to be seriously injured. The explosion just now was so powerful that, to be honest, if they themselves were in the middle, the result would also be like this...

  "Qin Hao." Qin Yuxian's eyes seemed to have a misty haze, she suddenly rushed forward, her hands supporting the railing of the viewing platform, as if she wanted to jump into the arena just like that.

  "Yu Xian." Qin Feng grabbed Qin Yu Xian who was about to jump down: "Don't be impulsive."

  "Father, Qin Hao he..." Qin Yuxian's usual calm and composed expression was nowhere to be seen, her voice already trembling with a hint of choking.

  "Qin Hao is fine." Qin Feng's words were unexpectedly calm at this moment, but his eyes revealed a hint of contemplation.

  Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng!

  The place where Qin Hao was standing had long been covered with dust, and it was impossible to see clearly. However, at this moment, a rhythmic footsteps suddenly came out, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, and the ash also gradually dispersed. When the line of sight in the field became clear again, Qin Hao's figure reappeared in front of everyone.

  Still wearing a white robe, with a calm and composed smile on his face, not even a speck of dust had settled on him.

  And on his entire body, a layer of fiery red aura as if substantial covered him all over, like a thin gauze wrapped around his body. Occasionally some gravel and dust flew near him, but were blocked by that layer of aura.

  This coverage is not like the profound and mysterious tenfold transformation, but rather a true and thorough coverage that envelops his entire body.

  What's even more miraculous is that those mysterious auras aren't static, but instead flow like water on the surface of Qin Hao's body, as if they have a spirit.

  "Ling Xuan boundary." Lin Zhanbei's face was calm as he patted the back of the chair and suddenly stood up.

  When these four words came out of his mouth, the scene finally calmed down completely.

  After many years, following Qin Yi, the Qin family finally has another 15-year-old Ling Xuan Wu master...
