Following the faint wind, Qin Mo cautiously walked deeper into the cave step by step.
The deeper he went, the more demon eggs there were underfoot.
Qin Mo originally wanted to avoid these demon eggs and proceed slowly, but the deeper he went, the denser the eggs beca, making it impossible for him to find a place to step.
With a flick of his hand, a fire serpent flew out, clearing the path, turning all the demon eggs along the way to ashes.
anwhile, the points token in his arms began its rapid transformation, with the score value rising step by step. The fire serpent continued unhindered, and it showed no signs of stopping.
Of course, Qin Mo didn’t notice this scene.
Qin Mo only focused on the flickering fla at his fingertip, which indicated the direction of the wind coming from within the cave.
He occasionally turned his head to check his surroundings, wary of things lurking in the darkness.
Having so rare downti, Qin Mo pondered the objectives of the Demon Slaying Competition while advancing.
"I’ve been in the Profound Realm for a while now, and lately I’ve felt that I could enter the Middle Profound Realm at any mont. The Fire Dragon Skill has also been in Minor Success for so ti. So, demon slaying cannot be my goal. The Sect Leader sent to participate in this centennial event’s rookie competition, surely not just to make a na for myself. Therefore, my primary aim should be to advance to the Middle Profound Realm and elevate the Fire Dragon Skill to the Great Success Realm."
"The accumulation in daily practice is already substantial. In my view, breaking through the realm only requires a bit of pressure, a bit of life-and-death pressure. After I get out of here, I need to find a demon comparable to the Upper Profound Realm to use as leverage to shatter the barrier holding back."
With his goal set, Qin Mo quickened his pace.
The fla at his fingertip suddenly shifted direction.
The wind direction changed!
...
A waterfall cascaded down the cliff face like a blade, resembling a Cyan Dragon spitting water, creating splashes that scattered among the mountains.
Below the waterfall was a cold pool exuding chilly air.
A few hundred ters away, in the forest, loud noises echoed like thunder striking the ears.
Xia Ye, Nann Chang, Hong Wu, and seven or eight other talented youths from the Hundred Sects Alliance were besieging three n and four won.
On the Hundred Sects Alliance’s side, Xia Ye and the other two were in the Upper Profound Realm, all ranked within the top 1000 of the rookie list, while three among the other youths had reached the Middle Profound Realm.
On the other hand, among the scattered group they were surrounding, only three n had reached the Middle Profound Realm.
The four won were all in the Middle Profound Realm as well.
So the battle was completely one-sided, and ending it was only a matter of ti.
Amidst the chaotic clash of swords, the explosive sounds from the collision of Vein Techniques, and the vibrations of the ridian Gates, a deep voice erged.
"Tighten up, tighten up!"
"Don’t let them separate us."
On the scattered group’s side, a scruffy-looking young man with a bit of a rogue aura, engaged with Xia Ye, constantly reminded his companions to tighten their formation.
Xia Ye, upon hearing this, swung a fist that sent waves of air outward and then mocked, "Fang Weiqi, stop pretending. Whether we kill you early or late, what’s the difference? You’re going to die anyway. We have three more Upper Profound Realm fighters than you. What do you have to fight us with? It’s laughable."
Fang Weiqi responded with a calm expression, countering Xia Ye’s fierce punch with a palm strike, firmly holding Xia Ye in place, and then said, "A trash standing at the threshold of the rookie list’s top 1000 dares to fight ? When I kill you with one palm strike later, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance."
Saying that, Fang Weiqi’s ridian Gate trembled, and as his Vein Qi condensed, he launched more than twenty consecutive palm strikes, forcing Xia Ye to retreat one step at a ti.
Then, with a swift turn, he launched several more palm strikes at an incoming Upper Profound Realm fighter, driving him back.
After repelling the two, Fang Weiqi quickly turned his head and shouted to his companions behind him, "Brother Yang, Brother Li, I’ll create a chance for you soon; when there’s an opportunity, take Junior Sister Liu and the others and leave first."
However, before those two could respond, a woman in light green clothes among the four spoke up.
"I, Liu Xiayue, won’t leave!"
Fang Weiqi hurriedly said, "Liu Xiayue! Could you not hold back? If you don’t go, I’ll leave!"
Liu Xiayue, gritting her teeth, caught a punch from Nann Chang and retorted, "Senior Brother Fang, if you want to go, go ahead. I’ll cover for you!"
If they had just t that day, Liu Xiayue might have thought Fang Weiqi was a jerk.
But they had known each other for several years!
The words from Fang Weiqi’s mouth sounded harsh, but how could she not understand his true intentions?
In short, born together, live together.
If we are truly destined to die here today, then let’s die together.
"How can there be a woman like you who’s so stubborn!" Fang Weiqi exclaid helplessly.
Was what he said not heartless enough?
At this mont, the other three won also made their decisions.
"Senior Brother Fang, I’m not leaving either!"
"Even if I die, I’ll take one with ."
"We’ll leave together, otherwise, I’m not going."
The voices of the three won fell, and Fang Weiqi couldn’t help but sigh inwardly again.
He was willing to risk his life to create a chance for these friends to escape, but unfortunately, none of them wanted to leave.
Why do I have such a group of foolish friends?
Forget it!
Forget it!
It doesn’t matter if we fight to the death together today.
If we really die, then be friends again in the next life.
...
Demon Nest.
As Qin Mo ventured deeper, the sound of rushing water grew louder.
"This sound of water, it’s definitely not from an ordinary river."
Turbulent!
Extrely turbulent!
This was Qin Mo’s first impression.
Unconsciously, Qin Mo quickened his pace, and not far ahead, a bright light ca into view.
Where there’s light, there’s an exit!
Qin Mo extinguished the fire serpent to prevent its heat from lting the cave walls, which could lead to a collapse.
Following the light, he took fewer than a hundred steps before a stone cave ca into view.
At the end of the cave was a stream that covered most of the exit. As Qin Mo approached, he saw the distant forest and confird it was a waterfall.
Looking down, the pool below was only twenty zhang away, and jumping down would be completely safe.
"Go!"
Without further thought, Qin Mo leapt down.
He had lived on Flying Fish Island since he was a child, and his swimming prowess was like that of a fish demon.
Amidst the loud crashes of the waterfall hitting the Cold Pool’s surface, there was a splash.
Then followed a horrific scream!
"Oh my god!"
"Why is this water so cold!"
After resurfacing, Qin Mo hurriedly swam towards the shore.
The Cold Pool water chilled him to the bone, giving him a headache.
Earlier, he almost lost his teeth from the cold since he didn’t use his Fire Spirit Body to resist the chill. Now, after activating his Fire Spirit Body, he felt slightly warr.
As he swam, Qin Mo suddenly stopped.
Because he suddenly realized sothing.
He had unexpectedly reached the Middle Profound Realm.
It had just happened monts ago.
After coming to this realization, Qin Mo shook his head with a smile and murmured, "What a pleasant surprise. I thought I needed so pressure to break through..."
