151: amulet

Qin Shou knew that a head-on fight was no match for Nuo Nuo, but fortunately, he had the Heaven Rank movement technique, Absolute Shadow Steps. Although he couldn't defeat Nuo Nuo, self-preservation was not a problem for him.

Nuo Nuo pounced towards Qin Shou, but found that Qin Shou's entire body directly transformed into an afterimage, disappearing instantly. Nuo Nuo's ferocious little face let out a roar, and she chased after Qin Shou's afterimage.

Nuo Nuo was born with a special constitution. After drinking blood, she awakened the bloodline power of the demonic corpse, and was actually able to fly. Moreover, she was several major realms higher than Qin Shou, so although Qin Shou's Absolute Shadow Steps were powerful, he found it difficult to completely shake off Nuo Nuo's pursuit.

For a time, the two of them chased each other, actually circling around the vicinity.

"Damn it, Ling'er, what the hell do I do? Quickly help me think of a solution!"

Qin Shou's heart was burning with anxiety at this moment. Guo Gang and the others were still in unknown danger. If he didn't quickly help Nuo Nuo recover, and delayed any longer, Guo Gang and the others might truly be beyond saving. In desperation, Qin Shou had no choice but to ask the artifact spirit Ling'er for help in his mind: "Damn it, Ling'er, what the hell do I do? Quickly help me think of a solution!"

"Master, do you still remember that amulet?" Ling'er's image immediately appeared in Qin Shou's mind, reminding him.

"amulet?"

Qin Shou was a little confused for a moment, thinking that his Ancient Loose Cultivator's amulet had already been given to Ren Jing. Where could he find such a thing now?

"Not that one." Ling'er and Qin Shou were connected in spirit. Seeing Qin Shou's misunderstanding, she continued to remind him: "Think again, that thing you stole from Ye Wuhuan."

"That's right! How the hell did I forget about that!"

Qin Shou suddenly realized and immediately remembered. He and Guo Gang had personally witnessed Nuo Nuo being forced back by the amulet on Ye Wuhuan at the Blood God Cult's old lair. This incident had always left a deep impression on Qin Shou.

One must know that at that time, Nuo Nuo had not yet shrunk and was a Earth Rank Peak existence, yet she was still wary of that amulet, let alone the current Nuo Nuo.

At Ren Jing's last ball, in order to ensure his plan was foolproof, Qin Shou used his skill [Divine Thief's Hand] to steal the amulet from Ye Wuhuan when he brushed past him.

However, what made Qin Shou's head ache was that he didn't know how to activate this amulet, and its power was immense. Qin Shou was worried that if he really activated this amulet, Nuo Nuo would be in danger.

However, just as Qin Shou was hesitating, he suddenly stumbled, tripping over his feet and falling heavily to the ground.

Qin Shou was about to get up, but found that his feet were tightly wrapped by mud that had emerged from the ground.

Qin Shou was horrified, and only then remembered that when he had teamed up with Ren Tianxing and Li Miaomiao of Dragon Tiger Mountain to deal with Nuo Nuo, whose cultivation had not yet fallen, Nuo Nuo had once displayed her ability to control the five elements at will.

Although Nuo Nuo's ability was not as great as before, controlling a small amount of mud to wrap Qin Shou's feet was not a problem.

However, Qin Shou was, after all, a Half-step Profound Rank master. How could mere mud trap him? Just now, it was merely Nuo Nuo's surprise attack that caused him to stumble.

Qin Shou exerted force with his legs, directly kicking away the mud that was wrapped around his legs.

But Nuo Nuo had never expected this little bit of mud to completely trap Qin Shou. In that instant, Nuo Nuo had already attacked, opening her small mouth and aiming to bite Qin Shou's neck.

Qin Shou was greatly alarmed, knowing that if Nuo Nuo bit him there, all his vital essence would likely be sucked dry in an instant.

However, at this critical moment, the red glow in Nuo Nuo's eyes suddenly receded for a moment. Nuo Nuo's body couldn't help but pause in mid-air, as if for that one instant, Nuo Nuo's rationality gained the upper hand, making her unwilling to devour Qin Shou's vital essence.

It was this momentary pause that gave Qin Shou the time to react.

"Damn it, I don't care anymore, I'll treat a dead horse as if it's alive."

Qin Shou couldn't care less at this moment. He directly took out Ye Wuhuan's amulet from his embrace.

This was a Buddhist medallion carved with a wrathful vajra. Qin Shou directly held the medallion and brought it to Nuo Nuo's face.

Sure enough, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred. The moment the medallion touched the bloody light around Nuo Nuo, it immediately emitted an extremely dazzling golden light.

"Jie—!"

Nuo Nuo shrieked, and the bloody light around her body was instantly dispersed by this golden light the moment it came into contact with the golden light from the medallion.

The next moment, Nuo Nuo immediately lost all consciousness, her body went limp, and she fainted in Qin Shou's arms.

"Nuo Nuo, Nuo Nuo!"

Qin Shou held Nuo Nuo in his arms, shaking her a few times with some worry. Seeing that Nuo Nuo was unresponsive, Qin Shou quickly checked Nuo Nuo's breathing, and finding it steady, he finally relaxed.

"Ling'er, what's Nuo Nuo's situation now? Is it serious?" Qin Shou couldn't help but ask with some concern.

Ling'er immediately reassured him: "Master, don't worry. Buddhist light is naturally the nemesis of Yin evil energy. Nuo Nuo is inherently a Yin evil body. She just drank human blood, which awakened the bloodthirsty nature within her bloodline. Now that the bloody light has been dispersed, it means her vitality has been injured, but there's no serious harm.

The only regrettable thing is that Nuo Nuo has been cultivating the Supreme Yin Scripture every day for this period of time, and was originally about to break through to the Earth Rank realm. Now that she has suffered this blow, her vitality is greatly damaged, and her realm will likely fall again. It seems Master's task of having a child bride won't be realized anytime soon."

Qin Shou felt a little relieved upon hearing this, and let out a long sigh: "It's good as long as she's okay. The task can wait."

After this period of getting along, Qin Shou had long regarded Nuo Nuo, such a well-behaved little girl, as his family. To be honest, whether this task could truly be achieved was no longer important to him; what was important was that no harm came to her.

"It's time to go see them."

Qin Shou picked up the unconscious Nuo Nuo and rushed towards Guo Gang and the others.

Zhang Wei, who was in the distance, saw everything that had just happened. Qin Shou's sudden appearance, easily dealing with the extremely powerful Zhang Biao who had a gun. And then Qin Shou and Nuo Nuo chasing each other, and finally the sudden golden light that appeared, Zhang Wei saw it all clearly.

If originally, Zhang Wei had decided to follow Qin Shou, he would have had some hesitation in his heart, but seeing everything just now, Zhang Wei no longer had any doubts.

The power Qin Shou had displayed just now had completely exceeded Zhang Wei's imagination, and even somewhat exceeded his understanding.

That golden light just now, and why the little girl next to Qin Shou suddenly went crazy, what was going on with the blood-red light around her body, Zhang Wei's mind was full of questions at this moment.

But he knew that these were Qin Shou's secrets. If Qin Shou didn't say anything, he absolutely couldn't ask, and everything he saw today, he would eventually forget completely.
