Chapter 257: Escape

.In the eye of the wind, wind and blade intertwine, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is torn apart, and nothing can be seen.The aftershock of the collision began to surge in all direction...The Elderly lacking Earth needed to be cautious, most of their strength used to conceal the talismans left by Xuan Yu Daochang. However, even if Tian Yin Lo diverted a small amount of spiritual power, it could easily capture Qin Sang!

Here is the translated text:

The spiral shell floats, its opening aligned with the Qinsang tree. Within, a vortex swirls, deep and profound, emanating immense pressure.

Qin Sang fell into the quagmire at that time, no matter how he struggled, there was immense pressure from all sides, unable to escape.

At this moment, a corpse fiend flew out and charged at the Heavenly Sound Conch. But the Earth-Deficient Elder seemed to have been prepared for this. As soon as the corpse fiend appeared, the Heavenly Sound Conch lightly vibrated, shooting out a sonic wave that suppressed it.

If it weren't for the lack of elders, no one would have wanted to kill Qin Sang so early. This sound wave was aimed directly at him.

Qin Sang chose the perfect time. Most of the old man's strength was restrained by the talisman, and he had to be on full alert. Otherwise, if the talisman was triggered, Xuan Yu Dao Chang would definitely notice it.

It's obvious who is more important between him and Master Xuanyu.

The fact is, the lack of elders on Earth used only a small portion of the Heavenly Sound Conch's power.

Even so, Qin Sang was still powerless to resist.

>

The gap is too big!

Qin Sang secretly smiled wryly, luckily he had anticipated this situation a long time ago. With a flip of his palm, there appeared a black bead, which had been hidden in his palm all along.

Mysterious Yin Thunder!

He gave up all resistance, allowing the Heavenly Sound Conch to suppress him. He gritted his teeth and poured all of his spiritual energy into his palm without reservation, then flung his hand forward with all his might.

Just before Qin Sang.

The Xuan Yin Lei was detonated!

The extreme power of destruction sent shivers down Qin Sang's spine. In Qin Sang's eyes, a scene reflected.

A ball of black light rapidly expanded in his eyes.

Like a drop of ink spreading, it carries a cold and resolute beauty.

At such close range, he is surely doomed!

The speed of the Xuan Yin Lei's explosion was bound to be extremely fast, but in Qin Sang's view, everything seemed too slow, as if millennia and eons had passed.

Death is right before our eyes.

But Qin Sang's expression was extremely calm. He knew in his heart that the Elder wouldn't allow the Xuan Yin Thunder to explode here.

The Heavenly Sound Conch Shell bore an enchantment left behind by the Old Man of Earth's Depths, used to conceal one's aura and form. In such a hurried moment, this flimsy enchantment couldn't possibly block the ripples from the Profound Yin Thunder explosion.

Although the range affected by the explosion of the Xuan Yin Lei was not large, even a trace of residual energy leaking out could be detected by Daoist Xuan Yu, resulting in all previous efforts being wasted.

In front of the stone hall.

"Profound Yin Thunder!"

The old man's face turned pale. He coldly spat out three words: "Good! Good! Good!"

He never imagined that Qin Sang would break free from his control with such a resolute attitude.

But, what's the use of that

>

It's still just an ant that can be crushed at any time!

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" the old man said angrily.

"Got it!"

The explosion of the Xuan Yin Thunder was instantaneous, so fast that even the Earth-Deficient Elder didn't have time to attack Qin Sang first.

>

As Di Que's old man let out a cold snort, Tian Yin Luo decisively abandoned Qin Sang. The vortex at its shell mouth stopped, reversed, and then spun rapidly, the oppressive force instantly transforming into a powerful suction, enveloping Xuan Yin Lei. Finally, before Xuan Yin Lei could fully erupt, it absorbed all the black light it had split out, without a single speck left behind, into Tian Yin Luo.

‘Hum!’

The next moment, the Heavenly Sound Conch violently vibrated, its energy fluctuating wildly.

As expected of a magical treasure, it swallowed the Xuan Yin Thunder and endured the full force of the explosion. Judging from its appearance, it seemed unharmed.

At the same time, the pressure on Qin Sang suddenly disappeared. He had been waiting for this moment. His figure flashed like lightning, seeming to be a suicide attack, he rushed into the flock of firebirds without hesitation.

But halfway through, Qin Sang's figure suddenly stiffened, like a corpse, flying into the group of firebirds due to inertia. The moment his 'corpse' appeared, it was immediately surrounded by firebirds.

The old man turned his head to look at Ren Hong, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you sure that within the Firebird flock, you cannot use your spiritual power or divine sense"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ren Hong didn't know about everything Qin Sang had done, not even seeing Qin Sang's 'corpse'.

>

He was puzzled why the elder's demeanor had suddenly changed so drastically. He was taken aback by the question, and noticing the killing intent still lingering on the elder's face, he jolted with a start and hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Master, those firebirds are extremely sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual power and divine sense. Even the slightest ripple can be detected, after which they become incredibly frenzied. Master, please be careful..."

“If the spiritual energy was this chaotic, talismans would definitely be triggered. So, Old Ghost Xuan Yu wouldn't possibly leave other hidden marks among the birds…”

The old man nodded, relieved. He looked up and saw the flock of firebirds, after a brief moment of confusion, had returned to their usual order. It seemed they had finished feasting on Qin Sang's 'corpse'.

There will be remains, but they will also be instantly burned to ashes by the endless stream of Fire Elemental power, impossible for any trace to remain.

The old man felt a tremor in his heart, and the Sky Sound Conch seemed to stagnate.

He who keeps on shooting at geese all day will eventually have his eyes pecked out by one.

An ant, so small it could be crushed with ease, almost caused him great trouble.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The earth-deficient old man couldn't help but feel a burning hatred in his heart, wishing he could drag Qin Sang back from the underworld and personally dismember him into ten thousand pieces.

Let's go!"

The old man quietly glanced at Ren Hong with the corner of his eye, making up his mind to kill him after using him, absolutely not repeating the same mistake.

Ren Hong was still innocent and naive.

At the bottom of the crater.

Although these Firebirds weren't fazed by the shock of the calls, the hurricane of flames generated by their flapping wings was not comparable to that group in the trial space. Its power was formidable.

Qin Sang hid among the firebirds, his robes tattered and his body covered in burn marks, every inch of him throbbing with pain. But he was still alive, and surprisingly, his expression remained unusually light.

At last, the pressure forced the old man's essence to explode in the spatial domain of the Myriad Illusion Divine Sound!

The divine voice transformed into a blade, slashing towards the primordial spirit, only to be devoured by the jade Buddha.

This is a test.

Qin Sang did not wait for the old man to order him to enter and probe the firebird flock, then feign his death, precisely because of the existence of this wisp of Thousand Illusion Divine Sound.

This hidden hand has never been resolved, and his condition cannot be concealed any longer. Pretending to be dead is not an option, and it's even possible that his ability to withstand the firebird's call will expose the jade Buddha.

Qin Sang had no ability to crack the hidden trap left by the Elder of Di Que, so he could only force the Elder of Di Que to take action himself. That's why he took such a risk and detonated the Xuan Yin Thunder in front of him.

This is a risky move.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

From the moment Qin Sang saw the firebird, he began to scheme.

He absolutely couldn't continue acting as a pioneer. After venturing through the stone hall, he started to feel exhausted. When he reached the ancient cultivator's cave dwelling, the restrictions inside would definitely be even more dangerous. Even if he could miraculously survive, there was a high chance that the old man from the Earth Gap would silence him.

Qin Sang would not naively believe that a lack of elders in the land could truly accept him as a disciple.

The old man plotted against Xuan Yu Dao Chang, but Xuan Yu Dao Chang was backed by Shang Yuan Qing Jing Gong, one of the Eight Great Immortal Sects. If he didn't silence all those who knew, it would be like digging his own grave.

Qin Sang understood this.

Of course, the elderly understand this.

Kenichi also understood, but was powerless to resist.

>h would cost you a large sum of spirit stones to hire a skilled alchemist. I can directly exchange them for you with a top-grade magic weapon or Sha Yao Dan. I don't have Sha Yao Dan on hand right now...
