94: A big explosion of character (fourth update)

This was a complete one-sided slaughter.

Xiao Shi didn't even need to step in.

He just sat there and effortlessly used his exclusive item to kill all these Qi Martial Realm martial artists.

Inside the basin.

Besides the numerous special auras, there were also items dropped by these deceased Qi Martial Realm martial artists.

The quantity of these items was even greater than when Xiao Shi killed those Seven Stars Sect disciples last time!

Moreover, there were Wandering Soul Guardians floating in the basin.

Xiao Shi counted them.

There were a total of eighteen Wandering Soul Guardians.

Although it was a fifty percent chance, it wouldn't be exactly half of the souls becoming Wandering Soul Guardians.

Xiao Shi stood up from the ground.

He was about to go into the basin to collect his spoils.

Just then.

A sudden explosion came from afar.

Three figures sped over at an extremely terrifying speed, reaching the mountaintop in an instant.

They transformed into three people dressed in black, with black bandages wrapped around their bodies!

From their attire and appearance... Xiao Shi recognized their identities at a glance.

Flying Origin Palace disciples!

At the same time, the terrifying aura emanating from them.

Also made Xiao Shi realize immediately.

These three... were very likely all core direct disciples of Flying Origin Palace!

Because the aura fluctuations emanating from them, like the core direct disciple of Flying Origin Palace Xiao Shi encountered earlier, had all reached Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection!!

Xiao Shi's gaze darkened.

His heart tightened slightly.

Three Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection... This posed a certain pressure on him.

After all, he currently only had one exclusive item capable of killing a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection... and the purpose of this exclusive item was to allow a Wandering Soul to possess and attack!

It could only deal with one person.

And due to the special nature of this item.

Even the multiple-use permission brought by the holy land badge. white only increased the possession time of the Wandering Soul, and did not increase the quantity of this item.

This meant Xiao Shi could at most kill one Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

He couldn't use this exclusive item to kill all three of them simultaneously.

"Why are all the Flying Origin Palace disciples I encounter Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection!"

Xiao Shi was very puzzled.

He felt that he and the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection of Flying Origin Palace were naturally at odds.

His gaze subtly glanced at the basin.

Among the many items in the basin now... perhaps there was an exclusive item capable of killing a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

It was just that he had little chance to pick up these items now.

And not only did he need to pick them up, but he also needed to inspect each of these items one by one to find the exclusive item capable of killing a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection among the many items.

This would take a lot of time.

It was clearly unfeasible.

Others wouldn't just stand there and let him pick up and inspect things.

Xiao Shi felt it was tricky.

At the same time.

After these three Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection from Flying Origin Palace arrived, their gaze immediately focused on the numerous special auras in the basin.

These special auras and natural treasures shocked their minds.

Excited expressions appeared on their faces.

Even their breathing became rapid.

Similar to the reactions of the previous people, a desperate frenzy arose in their hearts.

Their hearts pounded faster.

The opportunities and good fortune here... were simply too astonishing!

"It's worth the effort we put into getting the 'opportunity guiding scroll', this sacred item!! It's worth it!!"

The reason they could rush here.

Was because they had previously obtained the sacred item 'opportunity guiding scroll' from a stone tablet.

And thus, guided by it, they rushed all the way here.

However.

When their gaze fell upon the many corpses in the basin, as well as the floating Wandering Soul Guardians, their entire fervent emotions immediately felt as if doused by a bucket of cold water, instantly calming down.

Although they had some understanding of these Wandering Souls...

They did not know that the Wandering Souls' attacks were only effective against martial artists weaker than them.

This caused them to be filled with intense apprehension towards these Wandering Souls.

Furthermore, they also noticed Xiao Shi not far away.

And sensed the aura fluctuations emanating from Xiao Shi, which were merely the aura fluctuations of a single Qi Vortex.

This surprised them greatly.

The fact that he was the only survivor among so many people here, yet only had the cultivation of a single Qi Vortex, was inherently unusual.

If Xiao Shi had displayed the fluctuations of Qi Warrior Realm Late Stage at this moment, they wouldn't have found it strange.

But a Qi Martial Realm initial stage who had only opened a single Qi Vortex, becoming the only survivor in the entire area?

This was very bizarre!

They didn't believe this was his true cultivation, and their gazes towards Xiao Shi were filled with extremely strong wariness and vigilance.

Their appearance, as if facing a formidable enemy, immediately sparked an idea in Xiao Shi's mind.

Whoosh!

Without a word, he directly took out a black bowl.

He raised it, aiming it at the person with the strongest aura fluctuation among the three.

Buzz!

A black beam of light immediately shot out from the bowl, shining straight towards them.

"Retreat!!"

The three were greatly alarmed.

They quickly retreated.

But it was too late.

The entire black beam of light was too fast.

It instantly shone upon the leader among the three, and the beam directly entered his body.

At first, he felt nothing.

But soon.

He felt a tingling itch all over his body.

Even though he constantly tried to dispel it with his Qi Strength, it had no effect at all.

After a few seconds.

This tingling itch gradually turned into a stinging pain.

His back, his shoulders, his chest... the flesh in multiple parts of his body bulged high and continuously wriggled.

It was as if many mice were scurrying all over his body under his skin.

Causing him to throw his head back and let out a shrill and painful scream.

Pfft!

Accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing.

A black hand suddenly stretched out from his back, tearing open the flesh on his back and emerging from inside his body.

In its hand, it was still clutching a fractured spine!

This was clearly the hand of a Wandering Soul!

Pfft!

Not just his back.

Soon, a soul hand also tore open his body from his chest, breaking out.

Then, a black head, with a 'pfft' sound, drilled out from his neck! Bringing out large splatters of blood, blood vessels, and meridians.

This bloody and terrifying scene... immediately created an indescribably strong impact on the other two.

Their eyes showed terror, their scalps tingled, and their legs trembled.

They watched helplessly as the leader was disemboweled and torn apart by the Wandering Soul that had possessed him, climbing out from within his body.

At the same time.

The burly man, who outwardly only had one Qi Vortex, also walked towards them step by step.

As he continuously approached.

An indescribably terrifying aura caused the entire dim yellow sky to rumble with dull thuds, the sky turned gloomy, and lightning seemed to gather within it.

Furthermore, an unnameable pressure spread with this muffled thunder.

Under this terrifying aura, these two Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection instinctively felt an indescribable life-and-death crisis, their hair stood on end, and the fear in their minds completely exploded.

At the same time, they also saw... the Wandering Souls in the basin.

They all floated out.

Circling around the burly man in front of them, like guardians, surrounding him.

Overwhelming terror, like a tsunami, completely engulfed these two Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

They dared not hesitate for a moment.

They turned and began to frantically flee!

Daring not to look back, and even less daring to pause for a moment.

They increased their speed at all costs, desperately fleeing.

Even if the opportunities and good fortune in the basin were immense... at this moment, they held no attraction for them.

Their minds were completely submerged by fear.

Only one thought remained in their minds... Escape!

Any perceived slowdown in speed would bring a life-and-death crisis.

Under their frantic flight.

In an instant.

They rushed from the mountaintop all the way down the mountain, disappearing from sight.

It wasn't until the two disappeared from view.

That Xiao Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His strategy was very successful.

First, he used an exclusive item capable of killing a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection to kill the strongest of the three, then, through the martial emperor mask, he released a wisp of Martial Emperor aura to create deterrence, and then had these Wandering Soul Guardians surround him... successfully scaring off these two Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection!

Of course.

If this strategy hadn't succeeded.

Xiao Shi still had a backup plan.

At that time, he would need to stall for time, searching among the many items in the basin for an exclusive item capable of killing a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

Fortunately, he didn't need to use this backup plan.

He directly scared the two away.

Xiao Shi walked up to the dead Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

This person's death was very tragic, with more than half of his body torn open, and not a single part of him intact.

Being killed by a possessing Wandering Soul was clearly more terrifying than other methods of killing.

Xiao Shi directly picked up the items dropped by the deceased.

He was quite looking forward to the items dropped by a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

However, from the appearance of the item.

He already knew what it was.

[Name: holy land badge. gray (Seven Stars Holy Land Exclusive Item)]

[Type: Identity]

[Grade: Qi Warrior Grade]

[Introduction: A special badge symbolizing identity. After wearing it, you will have a privilege within the Seven Stars Holy Land.]

[Remark 1: This item belongs to the exclusive items of the Seven Stars Holy Land, and can only be used within the Seven Stars Holy Land. Upon leaving the Seven Stars Holy Land, the item will automatically disappear.]

[Remark 2: Secret Land Privilege — Able to obtain privileges in the Secret Land. You need to enter the Secret Land to view the specific privileges.]

... "The third holy land badge!"

Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.

This holy land badge was also the holy land badge he had seen on the price stele back then.

And the privilege of this holy land badge was reflected in the Secret Land.

And it could only be viewed after entering the Secret Land.

Now that the holy land key to open the Secret Land had already been obtained, Xiao Shi mused that as soon as he gathered the personnel, he could open the Secret Land.

He believed that with the privilege of this holy land badge, he would surely gain more in the Secret Land.

Whoosh!

Xiao Shi walked into the basin ahead.

He didn't rush to collect the special auras and natural treasures in the basin.

He first proceeded to pick up and inspect the many items.

The items dropped this time were even more numerous than before!

There were over forty items in total.

However, among these items, exclusive items were significantly fewer.

Last time, exclusive items accounted for almost half, but this time, there were fewer than ten exclusive items dropped.

Xiao Shi knew.

This was because the number of exclusive items in the Seven Stars Holy Land was limited.

There were only so many in total.

Now most of them were already in his hands, and very few remained. After this time, it was estimated that no more exclusive items would drop.

And among the exclusive items dropped this time.

Aside from one exclusive item capable of killing a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection, the other exclusive items did not bring Xiao Shi any surprises.

Nor did a fourth holy land badge appear.

Xiao Shi thus deduced... there should only be three holy land badges!

Now he had all three holy land badges in his possession.

"In the future, only ordinary items should drop..."

Xiao Shi thought to himself, while inspecting the other ordinary items dropped this time.

Soon, he made an unexpected and pleasant discovery among these ordinary items.

[Name: Qi Warrior Enhancement Scroll (Strongest Heaven Grade)]

[Type: Scroll]

[Grade: Qi Warrior Grade]

[Introduction: Can arbitrarily choose a Qi Warrior Grade item to enhance it.]

[Remark: Any Qi Warrior Grade item can be enhanced, including cultivation techniques, Secret Skills, weapons, pills, etc.]

... This item was even more powerful than the [Cultivation Technique Enhancement Scroll] Xiao Shi obtained when he was in the Entering Martial Realm!

After all, the [Cultivation Technique Enhancement Scroll] could only enhance cultivation techniques.

But the [Qi Warrior Enhancement Scroll] dropped this time could enhance all Qi Warrior Grade items.

With the value of this item.

Among all Qi Warrior Grade items, it would definitely rank among the top five!

Logically speaking... items of this value are often more likely to drop only when killing a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

Of course.

Qi Martial Realm martial artists of other strengths might also drop it, but the probability is extremely small.

This time.

Xiao Shi clearly had a huge burst of luck!

If there was also an [Entering Martial Enhancement Scroll] in the Entering Martial Realm... then he had never dropped this item to this day.

It was enough to show how good his luck was this time!

Xiao Shi's heart was very excited.

Since he stepped into the Qi Martial Realm, he had not really dropped any particularly good Qi Warrior Grade items.

Before this [Qi Warrior Enhancement Scroll], the best he had was the Devouring Expansion Vortex Technique, which also made him realize that dropping good Qi Warrior Grade items was clearly much harder than when he was in the Entering Martial Realm.

Now... he finally dropped an excellent Qi Warrior Grade item!

"So... what should I use it to enhance?"

Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.

Currently, items worth enhancing included the Earth Grade Secret Skill Devouring Expansion Vortex Technique, the weapon Qi Severing Blade, the special cultivation technique Slow Qi Art, the blade technique Absolute Severing Blade Technique, the movement technique Bewildering Shadow Step, and... the body tempering cultivation technique Nine Refinements Vajra Body.

Among these, except for the Nine Refinements Vajra Body which was Heaven Grade, the Devouring Expansion Vortex Technique, Bewildering Shadow Step, and Slow Qi Art were all Earth Grade.

The Absolute Severing Blade Technique was even Profound Grade.

Although the Qi Severing Blade did not have the 'Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow' four-tier division, if the Qi Severing Blade were to be enhanced with the Qi Warrior Enhancement Scroll, it would surely undergo a huge transformation, thereby becoming the strongest Qi Warrior Grade weapon!
