The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 433 Yao Yao is about to be born (6k words, Happy National Day!)

Bai Fengyin glanced casually at the tiny wound on her palm and smiled contemptuously.

Let alone such minor injuries, even severed limbs and broken bodies, as long as the primordial spirit is not destroyed, rebuilding the physical body is only a matter of time.

His mind stirred, and he casually circulated his spiritual power to try to heal his wounds, but his expression suddenly changed slightly.

The tiny wound not only failed to heal, but instead bleeds even more.

Bai Fengyin frowned, her spiritual power surging as she tried to stop the bleeding again, but to no avail.

"What happened?" A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he snatched the rusty, broken sword from Zhou Qing's hand. After examining it closely, he demanded sharply, "Is the sword poisoned?"

Zhou Qing slowly shook his head: "It's not poison."

A meaningful smile played on his lips. "It's a curse. With your cultivation level, you should be able to tell whether it's poisonous or not."

Bai Fengyin's face was ashen, and as she ran her fingertips along the sword, she could not sense any trace of poison.

He immediately looked inward and examined himself repeatedly, but still couldn't find anything unusual.

But the wound on his palm was still bleeding profusely, and he couldn't stop it.

The next moment, Bai Fengyin suddenly grabbed Zhou Qing by the throat, lifted him up, and said coldly, "Speak the method to break the curse!"

Zhou Qing's face flushed red from being choked, but he forced out a ferocious smile: "Heh, a way to break the curse? Dream on! This blood will keep flowing until this husk of yours is drained dry..."

He gasped for breath, his eyes flashing with a crazed light, "Even if you possess another body and are reborn, this curse will follow you like a shadow."

Bai Fengyin's face was terribly gloomy. Suddenly, she noticed that Zhou Qing's waist was empty, and her pupils contracted sharply: "Where's the storage bag?"

"Cough cough. Can't find it, can you?" Zhou Qing grinned, revealing his blood-stained lips. "This is the price of arrogance. It could have been avoided."

"You're courting death!" Bai Fengyin clenched her fingers, but at the last moment she seemed to think of something and slowly loosened them.

Bai Fengyin laughed in anger: "Very well, I'll see what secrets this curse holds."

He sneered, his tone revealing greed: "Perfect, I'll take that inscription-level divine ability as well."

As he spoke, he formed a sword with his fingers, and a ghostly light gathered at his fingertips: "After I have searched your soul, everything you have will belong to me."

Then, he suddenly pointed at Zhou Qing's forehead: "Soul Search!"

"Ah!" Zhou Qing trembled violently, feeling a chilling, bone-piercing divine sense violently intrude into his sea of ​​consciousness, like thousands of steel needles churning in his brain.

Blood instantly seeped from his seven orifices, and his face was twisted beyond recognition.

Bai Fengyin's consciousness manifested in Zhou Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, and what came into view was a vast sea of ​​consciousness.

In the center of that sea of ​​consciousness, a seven-colored primordial spirit sat cross-legged, surrounded by profound Dao patterns.

"Interesting primordial spirit!" Bai Fengyin grinned maliciously as she stepped forward, but at the very moment she took that step—

"Shh!"

A dazzling light suddenly streaked across the sea of ​​consciousness, moving so fast that even the supreme divine sense couldn't react in time.

Before the sinister smile on Bai Fengyin's lips had faded, the invading primordial spirit had already been annihilated.

Outside, he groaned, staggered back several steps, and a trickle of blood seeped from between his eyebrows.

A rare look of bewilderment appeared on the face of this supreme expert: "Just now... that was..."

Zhou Qing let out a hoarse laugh: "Want to search my soul? Call me 'Father' and let me hear it!"

"Sharp-tongued!" Bai Fengyin's eyes flashed with cold light, and with a flick of her sleeve, Zhou Qing's legs exploded into a bloody mist with a "bang".

"Ugh!" Zhou Qing's whole body convulsed, blood seeping from between his clenched teeth, but he didn't utter a single cry of pain.

Bai Fengyin narrowed her eyes: "I must say, you have successfully piqued my curiosity."

Seven layers of protective divine light shone around him, and golden Dao patterns appeared between his brows. He once again gathered his divine sense to probe into the area.

But just as it entered the sea of ​​consciousness—

dark.

Without warning, his consciousness was annihilated once again.

"Pfft!" Bai Fengyin spat out a mouthful of blood, her expression finally changing: "What exactly is hidden in your sea of ​​consciousness?!"

Zhou Qing grinned: "Didn't I tell you? It's your dad!"

In a fit of rage, Bai Fengyin was about to sever Zhou Qing's arms again when she suddenly froze—

Solemn chanting rang out from the legs that should have been crippled.

Golden Buddhist light emanated from the shattered bones, and the broken blood vessels and tendons intertwined like golden threads, regrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The Demon-Subduing Golden Bone Technique?" Bai Fengyin's pupils shrank slightly, then she sneered, "You actually mastered the ultimate technique of Jiyuan Temple? Wasn't it said that only Kudi and Ku'e had ever mastered it since ancient times?"

He suddenly remembered something, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Wait, now a Buddhist disciple named Guicang has appeared there, and he has also successfully cultivated it with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Zhou Qing gritted his teeth, cold sweat mixed with blood dripping from his chin, but he remained silent.

"Interesting." Bai Fengyin suddenly smiled, a faint blue light condensing at her fingertips. "I'd like to see if your recovery is faster—"

A cruel glint flashed in his eyes, "I'm the one who destroys things faster!"

Before he could finish speaking, the beam of light struck Zhou Qing's leg bone, which had only healed halfway.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible, and the newly formed golden bone fragments were crushed once more.

But then, solemn chanting arose again, and amidst the flowing golden light, flesh and bones began to slowly regenerate.

Bai Fengyin squinted her eyes, as if she had found some interesting toy.

He waited patiently until Zhou Qing's leg bones had just fully formed—

"Oh!"

Another beam of light descended, crushing the newly formed bones into dust.

"Om-"

"Oh!"

"Om-"

……

After this happened several times, a morbid excitement appeared in Bai Fengyin's eyes, while Zhou Qing trembled all over, but never begged for mercy.

“All supernatural powers rely on spiritual energy for support.” Bai Fengyin observed with great interest. “I’m very curious, how many more times can your crippled body last?”

He suddenly slapped his forehead and chuckled: "It was I who was confused. Wouldn't it have been easier to just seal your spiritual power?"

The moment he raised his hand to form a hand seal, the entire world suddenly fell silent.

"Susu-"

Snowflakes fell without warning, each one shimmering with a faint blue light.

Bai Fengyin suddenly looked up and saw a towering, icy blue pillar of light crashing down, with thousands of illusory ice phoenixes swirling and shrieking within it.

"A mere trick." Bai Fengyin sneered, and with a flick of her sleeve, the terrifying ice-type divine power shattered like a bubble.

"Wow—"

A deafening phoenix cry resounded through the heavens.

Immediately afterwards, a blood phoenix that blotted out the sky spread its wings and emerged, its body covered in flowing runes that stained the entire sky with blood.

Shen Hanyi stood in mid-air, her veil fluttering slightly, and slowly raised her jade-like hand.

The three life feathers on the Blood Phoenix's chest fell off and transformed into three streams of blood-red light that entered her fingertips.

"die!"

As the cold voice fell, a crimson light transformed into a phoenix spreading its wings, rushing straight towards Bai Fengyin with the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas.

Wherever the Blood Phoenix passed, space twisted and cracked, emitting a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.

"So you've started cultivating too." Bai Fengyin's expression was solemn. She made a hand seal with her left hand and pushed her right palm outward.

In an instant, a crimson-gold light barrier stretched out in front of them like an insurmountable chasm, with countless ancient runes flowing across it.

"boom!"

The Blood Phoenix collided with the light barrier, unleashing a deafening roar.

A violent storm of spiritual energy swept across a radius of a hundred miles, scraping away more than three zhang (approximately 1.3 meters) of the ground.

Zhou Qing stared at the beautiful figure, his eyes bloodshot, and screamed hoarsely, "Why did you come back?!"

Shen Hanyi seemed not to hear, her slender fingers constantly changing hand seals.

A trace of blood seeped from the corner of her lips beneath the veil, yet she still exerted all her strength to activate the Blood Phoenix Divine Power, her cold eyes filled with determination.

"Click——"

The crimson-gold light barrier showed slight cracks, but Bai Fengyin was not surprised, after all, he had already experienced Zhou Qing's move before.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qing's legs had been regenerated, and his eyes blazed with murderous intent.

Thirty thousand dazzling spiritual seals suddenly appeared around his body, intertwining and entwining with purple-gold lightning, eventually transforming into a ten-foot-long spear.

The gun was surrounded by lightning, and a chilling glint was gathered at its tip.

"die!"

The purple-gold spear pierced the sun like a meteor, aiming straight for Bai Fengyin's back.

Wherever the spear's edge passed, space shattered like a mirror.

"Heh, interesting." Bai Fengyin maintained the light screen with her right hand, and casually reached back with her left hand, managing to catch the tip of the spear that was shooting towards her out of thin air.

The violent lightning on the gun crackled in his palm, but it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

"A hero saves a damsel in distress, and they never abandon each other; they are quite a devoted couple." A cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and his arms suddenly trembled. "That saves me the trouble of chasing after them."

"boom--!"

The crimson-gold light barrier and the palm simultaneously unleashed terrifying power, and the violent backlash sent Zhou Qing and Shen Hanyi flying, their blood leaving a blinding red trail in the air.

"If that's the case, then let's try this move!" Zhou Qing gritted his teeth, and the golden flower in the four-colored Dao Flower within his body suddenly bloomed.

A surge of spiritual energy rushed to his limbs and bones like a tide, instantly restoring him to his peak condition.

"Suppress the demon!"

A loud shout resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Zhou Qing formed a hand seal, and suddenly a huge golden crack appeared in the sky.

A massive, golden seal, obscuring the sky, crashed down, its inscriptions flowing and radiating a terrifying aura that could suppress all ages.

Wherever the great seal passed, space collapsed inch by inch, as if even time itself stood still.

"You actually mastered two inscription-level divine abilities?!" Bai Fengyin's expression finally changed, and she hastily mobilized all her spiritual power to defend herself.

As the golden seal pressed down, Zhou Qing felt his spiritual energy drain away as rapidly as if a dam had burst.

Seeing this, Shen Hanyi's eyes hardened with even more determination, and she suddenly shouted, "Explode!"

"boom--!"

The crimson phoenix figure exploded in response, and the terrifying shockwave, like a raging sea, directly sent Bai Fengyin flying hundreds of feet away.

A trickle of golden blood spilled from the corner of this supreme expert's mouth as he staggered backward. "Explode!"

Zhou Qing seized the opportunity and made another hand seal.

The golden seal that suppressed heaven and earth shattered in response, and countless golden streams of light swept in all directions like a torrential rain.

The combined power of the two inscription-level divine abilities completely destroyed the already fragmented five-colored restriction of the Shen family.

The people fighting in various places all looked in this direction at the same time. When they saw the scene of the two inscription-level divine abilities being unleashed, their eyes were filled with shock.

The old patriarch of the Liu family squinted his cloudy old eyes, his withered fingers trembling slightly.

The Yan family's supreme leaders were breathing heavily, their eyes flashing with undisguised greed.

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, Zhou Qing coughed up a mouthful of blood and swayed precariously.

A beautiful figure appeared beside him in an instant, steadily supporting his swaying body.

"Why did you come back?!" Zhou Qing asked hoarsely, clutching his aching chest.

Shen Hanyi gently removed her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

She gazed into Zhou Qing's eyes and said softly, "Without you, my days ahead will be meaningless."

A simple sentence sent a jolt through Zhou Qing's heart.

Looking at the stubborn woman before him, he felt his chest suddenly fill with something.

"Clap clap clap."

A sharp round of applause suddenly rang out, and as the dust settled, a disheveled figure slowly emerged.

Bai Fengyin's clothes were torn, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, yet she still wore a cold smile and stared at the two with chilling eyes.

"How long has it been..." He chuckled as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "How long has it been since anyone made me look this disheveled? And not just two juniors at the Spirit Severing Realm."

A cold glint flashed in Shen Hanyi's eyes. Without hesitation, she stepped in front of Zhou Qing and whispered, "Go!"

Zhou Qing's expression turned solemn, and his heart trembled—he had used two inscription-level divine abilities in succession, yet he had only managed to inflict minor injuries on Bai Fengyin.

The gap in realms cannot be easily bridged by top-tier supernatural powers.

This is... really troublesome.

"Heh..." Bai Fengyin's gaze was like a knife, locking onto Zhou Qing directly.

"You clearly have a deeper understanding of the Blood Phoenix Clan's divine abilities than she has; you must have taught them to her, right? As for that golden palm print later..."

He narrowed his eyes, a hint of greed in his voice: "Even more powerful! I'm truly curious... just how many secrets are you hiding?"

Zhou Qing spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, "I'll say it again: call me 'Dad,' and maybe if I'm in a good mood, I can give you some pointers!"

"Hahaha..." Bai Fengyin laughed, but her laughter was chillingly cold. "You're dead."

Zhou Qing's heart sank. Right now, he probably only had one last resort left—the ultimate weapon!
Even if this item is used, it may not be able to completely kill Bai Fengyin; at most, it will severely injure him.

But once the ultimate weapon appears, if it is recognized by some old monsters, what awaits him... will probably be an endless pursuit.

It even disturbed those slumbering, forbidden beings!
But we can't worry about anything else right now; we need to figure out how to get through this life-or-death crisis first.

"Storage bag!" he whispered urgently.

Without hesitation, Shen Hanyi handed back the storage bag that Zhou Qing had given her earlier.

"Boy, didn't you really like this little girl?" Bai Fengyin's lips curled into a cruel smile as he stared coldly at Shen Hanyi.

"Then I'll dismember her right in front of you and see if she has the same regenerative abilities as you!"

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, his five fingers suddenly spread open, and a terrifying supreme pressure descended upon him.

The next second, the void shattered inch by inch, and five pitch-black cracks tore out like sharp claws, directly attacking Shen Hanyi!

Each crack contains destructive power; wherever it passes, even spiritual energy is annihilated into nothingness.

Zhou Qing and Shen Hanyi's expressions changed drastically, as a suffocating sense of death enveloped them.

Without hesitation, Zhou Qing slammed his palm against the storage bag, preparing to unleash the Mirror of Infernal Flames to counter the attack.

however--

"boom!"

A figure appeared out of nowhere like lightning, standing firmly in front of the two.

Shen Juefeng's expression turned solemn. He thrust out both palms, and his spiritual power surged wildly within him, transforming into a dazzling bronze shield.

Countless ancient runes flashed on the shield's surface, forcefully meeting the five terrifying cracks!
"clang--!!"

The deafening collision resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a violent storm of spiritual energy swept in all directions, causing the ground to collapse several feet in an instant.

Shen Juefeng groaned, his face ashen, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward uncontrollably!

"Father!" Shen Hanyi's face turned pale. She rushed forward and supported the swaying Shen Juefeng, her eyes filled with anxiety and heartache.

Shen Juefeng suddenly pulled out an ancient bronze compass from his pocket, its surface engraved with dense star maps.

"Celestial Pivot guides the way, breaking the boundary!"

He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the center of the compass.

In an instant, all the star patterns on the compass lit up one by one, and the dazzling starlight gathered into a beam, actually tearing a crack in the space in front of them!
"go!"

Shen Juefeng grabbed Shen Hanyi's wrist and pushed her toward the crevice: "Escape as far away as possible, and don't look back!"

"No!" Shen Hanyi gripped her father's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face. "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together!"

Shen Juefeng suddenly turned to Zhou Qing, his bloodshot eyes surprisingly carrying a hint of a smile.

He grabbed Zhou Qing's shoulder and said, "You brat, you still owe me a kneeling."

He then grinned, his bloodstained teeth particularly glaring, and said, "You got my daughter pregnant without a word. Next time we meet..."

He then abruptly pushed the two of them towards the crevice, shouting, "Prepare the betrothal gifts!"

"Boom!"

The spatial rift began to close rapidly.

"No—!" Shen Hanyi's heart-wrenching scream echoed through the spatial passage.

She desperately reached out, trying to touch the crack that was about to close. Crystalline tears slid down her cheeks, turning into tiny ice crystals in the air.

Zhou Qing wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, trapping her in his embrace.

He trembled all over, watching helplessly as the last glimmer of light was swallowed by darkness.

In the instant the crack closed, he only had time to see Shen Juefeng's relieved smile, as if to say, "Take good care of her."

Immediately following was Bai Fengyin's furious, towering palm strike—

Zhou Qing's eyes were bloodshot, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently, but he couldn't utter a sound.

Scalding liquid kept gushing from his eyes, leaving burning marks on his face.

He clenched his teeth tightly, and even the strong taste of blood between his lips and teeth did not alleviate the excruciating pain in the slightest.

Shen Hanyi was still struggling in Zhou Qing's arms, but Zhou Qing held her even tighter.

He tilted his head back, letting the silent tears slide down his neck.

In this distorted spatial passage, all the pain, anger, and resentment transformed into the most silent lament.

……

Two breaths later, two hundred thousand miles away from the Shen family, a spatial rift suddenly opened up above a desolate mountain range.

Two blood-stained figures staggered out, tumbling several times in the air before barely managing to regain their balance.

"Are you alright?" Zhou Qing's voice was hoarse, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.

Shen Hanyi's tears were still wet, but she forced herself to remain calm: "I need to recover as soon as possible."

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, a resolute glint flashing in her icy blue eyes, "Then we'll go back and kill our way back."

Zhou Qing opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry." Shen Hanyi seemed to see through his worries, her voice frighteningly calm.

“I’m not going to my death. Father went through so much trouble to send us out using his treasured Boundary-Breaking Compass. How can we let him down after risking his life to save us?”

A flicker of pain flashed in her eyes, which then turned into a chilling light: "But as you can see, the Yan family has already set up a spatial restriction around the Shen family's perimeter."

“I just want to destroy those key points of the formation to create an escape opportunity for the others.” She paused, her voice full of worry, “Don’t forget, Xiaozhou is still inside.”

Hearing Shen Hanyi's words, Zhou Qing nodded emphatically, his eyes blazing with the same fighting spirit: "Alright, I'll go with you!"

The two immediately found a hidden cave in the nearby mountains and forests.

The entrance to the cave was hidden by hanging vines, and the interior was small and damp, but it was the best place to hide temporarily.

They then swallowed the pills, held the wood-attribute spirit stones in their hands, sat cross-legged, and began to heal and recover.

After all, neither the Spirit Severing Realm nor the Supreme Realm can resolve a battle so quickly.

But now every minute and second is precious – no one knows when the tide of battle will turn.

……

Just like that, less than half an hour later, Zhou Qing, who was rapidly absorbing spirit stones using the Yin-Yang Technique, suddenly heard a suppressed groan.

He opened his eyes in confusion and saw that Shen Hanyi, who should have been healing like him, was now pale and covered in cold sweat.

Her left hand was pressed tightly against her lower abdomen, while her right hand's five fingers were deeply embedded in the rock of the ground.

His slender figure arched unnaturally, as if he were enduring some sudden, intense pain.

"Han Yi?!" Zhou Qing's expression changed drastically, and he rushed to Shen Han Yi's side.

Blood seeped from Shen Hanyi's tightly clenched lower lip, staining her pale lips crimson.

Her breathing was rapid and erratic, and her slender body trembled uncontrollably: "Zhou Zhou, clean my stomach."

Before she could finish speaking, an even more intense pain struck her. She grabbed Zhou Qing's sleeve and the fabric ripped with a "rip".

Zhou Qing then realized that the ground beneath her was soaked with blood that had seeped out at some unknown time, the dark red liquid standing out starkly against the bluish-gray rocks.

"How could this be?" Zhou Qing's voice trembled, his mind blank.

It's clearly not time yet. Could it be that the previous battle, combined with the violent actions of the forced breakout, caused the pregnancy to start prematurely?

"Hang in there, I'm right here with you!" Zhou Qing's voice was strained as he frantically rummaged through his storage bag for pills.

But he didn't know which specific pills to look for. His fingers trembled uncontrollably, and several precious pills fell to the ground and rolled away.

Shen Hanyi suddenly let out a heart-wrenching cry of pain, curling herself into a ball.

Fine beads of cold sweat instantly soaked through her clothes, the thin fabric clinging tightly to her violently heaving back, outlining the contours of her angular shoulder blades.

"what"

Another contraction struck, and Shen Hanyi tilted her head back, the fine veins clearly visible beneath her snow-white skin.

Her legs were pressed tightly together, her knees almost sinking into her abdomen, and her whole body was convulsing violently.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here," Zhou Qing said softly, while frantically rummaging through his storage bag.
