Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 267 Encountering a Formidable Enemy Again

After saying goodbye to Yin Changlin and the others, Qin Xiaochuan rode Kaiming and headed towards the Bronze Tree with Han Kexin and the others. Since they flew there, it didn't take too long. By four o'clock in the afternoon, the gnarled roots of the Bronze Tree seemed to be faintly visible.

But at this moment, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Han Kexin hovered beside him, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"I said...shouldn't we...shouldn't we walk there instead?" Qin Xiaochuan stammered.

"What, are you afraid that Shiyi will find out about our Blood Witch identities?" Han Kexin's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion.

Although he had anticipated that Han Kexin might be a little emotional, he still felt a bit awkward hearing her cold voice. However, he also had his concerns: "You know, she's emotionally unstable right now. I'm afraid... it will be too much of a blow to her."

Han Kexin snorted coldly and said, "You're quite considerate to that girl, aren't you? Anyway, her senior uncle and senior brother already know our identities. Even if you keep it from her now, the truth will eventually come out."

"Of course I know that, but she doesn't know it yet. After we help Aunt Jiang regain her memory, you can let me find an opportunity to talk to her slowly. That way, it will be easier for her to accept it, right?"

"You're overthinking it. I think Shiyi is a strong girl, maybe even braver than you," Han Kexin said unmoved.

Qin Xiaochuan smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes! She's braver than me. The main thing is that Aunt Jiang's matter is still involved, right? I'm afraid it will be too much of a shock for her. Think about how good she is to you, and how she even gave you an air cannon. Can't you think about her a little more?"

As Qin Xiaochuan spoke, he tugged at Han Kexin's clothes, his pleading expression almost matching Xiaoying's when she was being coquettish.

Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop making excuses for that girl. It's not like I'm the only cold-blooded animal. I need to make this clear: my decision to continue is not because of you, but because Shiyi and I are best friends, and I want to consider her feelings."

Qin Xiaochuan looked both amused and exasperated, but couldn't help muttering to himself, "What an arrogant woman."

As she spoke, Han Kexin had already retracted her bat wings and landed on the steps of the bronze tree. She said to Zhou Bin in the air, "Zhou Bin, the king has already issued the order. Why aren't you coming down yet?" Then she suddenly pointed at Qin Xiaochuan and said, "And you, you have to come down too, so that Xiaoying can ride Kaiming."

"That's a must." Qin Xiaochuan quickly jumped off Kaiming's back onto the bronze tree steps.

"Auntie, can Uncle ride Kaiming with me? I want Uncle to take me flying," Xiaoying pleaded.

"No, he has to come with us." Han Kexin refused without hesitation, and then walked straight down, leaving Qin Xiaochuan behind, his face twitching.

Oh no, she's a vengeful woman.

Qin Xiaochuan followed Han Kexin dejectedly for nearly half an hour before they were almost at the ground. At this point, everyone noticed that there seemed to be signs of a battle under the bronze tree, and the archaeologists who had gathered under the tree were nowhere to be seen.

A sense of unease rose in Qin Xiaochuan's heart. He quickly jumped down from the bronze tree and scanned the entire mountain belly with his spiritual power, but he did not find any trace of Guo Shiyi. He only found a suspicious man at the entrance of the mountain belly, and the man was so powerful that he could not even see the level of the man's spiritual power.

Not only that, the aura emanating from the other person was so familiar. Yes, the latest chapter is ready! Book lovers, return quickly. He quickly confirmed that the other person was the terrifying man who attacked him at school that day.

Shiyi...

Anger and tension surged into his heart at the same time. He quickly released his Swift Step and arrived behind the man in three steps. Just as the man was about to turn around, bluish-white flames had already gathered in his fist.

"Blazing Fist!"

Qin Xiaochuan roared!

However, the man's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared behind Qin Xiaochuan, a bolt of lightning a meter thick was striking down from above his head, and Han Kexin's Hurricane Blade followed closely behind.

The sudden attack clearly angered the man. A star-like pattern flashed in his eyes, and his figure disappeared again. The spiritual energy within a ten-meter radius suddenly began to fluctuate violently, like a calm lake being broken.

A giant willow tree grew from the soil and grew bigger and bigger. Every branch of the willow tree shimmered with a faint fluorescent light, clearly containing enormous spiritual power.

"This is it!" Qin Xiaochuan's gaze narrowed. This was indeed that man's move. He had used this move against Guo Shiyi before.

The willow tree eventually grew to over ten meters tall. When it stopped growing, each branch seemed to come alive, dancing in the air before splitting into several parts and rapidly attacking Qin Xiaochuan and his companions.

Knowing the opponent's strength, Qin Xiaochuan naturally dared not be careless. Before the willow branches could even come over, he unleashed a Holy Flame Baptism, and the bluish-white flames instantly engulfed all the willow branches.

Legend has it that the Samadhi Fire can burn everything in the world, and this is indeed true. Those willow branches that even Master Xin could not cut with his Thunder Blade were turned into specks of firefly and disappeared into the air under the burning of the Samadhi Fire.

Seeing this result, Qin Xiaochuan felt a little more at ease. However, when he looked at the others, he found that they were all trapped in the extremely troublesome attack of the willow branches. Several willow branches had already wrapped around Zhou Bin's body. Although Kaiming was flying in the air with Xiaoying, he could not escape the calamity either, as a willow branch had already wrapped around one of his hind paws.

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback. He didn't want Xiaoying to get hurt, so he quickly formed several hand seals, preparing to use Samadhi True Fire to burn down the big willow tree in front of him and resolve the crisis at its root.

"Baptism by Holy Flame!"

Just as Qin Xiaochuan was about to unleash his skill, two willow branches suddenly sprouted from beneath his feet, quickly wrapping around his ankles. Then, with a forceful twist to the side, he fell backward, and the bluish-white flames lost their aim, leaving only a dazzling trail of fire in the endless void.

In the blink of an eye, the willow branches wrapped around his entire body and hung him upside down.

At the same time, a thicker willow branch was lashing out at him.

"Snapped!"

The willow branch lashed hard against his chest. Although protected by the Qilin Armor, the energy of the willow branch seemed to have penetrating power, and he still felt a burning pain. The only thing to be thankful for was that the injury was not fatal to him; at most, he would suffer some physical pain.

Just as Qin Xiaochuan was secretly rejoicing, what happened next completely stunned him, because after that willow branch, hundreds and thousands more willow branches were flashing with fireflies and following one after another.

This is practically a large-scale flogging scene! Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Looking at the endless whip shadows, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes. Just then, a voice that sounded like heavenly music suddenly entered his ears.

"stop!"
