Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

A series of sonic bursts erupted from Qin Zhun's mouth, far exceeding ordinary sonic booms! At this moment, he had released the strongest fighting technique he could unleash, but such sonic energy was far from enough to counter Tang Qiying's long-prepared sneak attack.

Because he was standing in front of the Brahma's voice, Qin Zhun's body trembled violently from the sonic energy, his internal organs were shattering, and he felt his life force dwindling. But the next moment, a surge of energy erupted from his forehead—the power of his very soul.

Fan Yin immediately reacted: "Elder, if you can't handle it, I will."

Qin Zhun, however, said with unwavering determination, "Valley Master, get out of the way!"

Then his soul began to expand rapidly, and his body began to crack while continuing to grow larger. Qin Zhun was ready to self-destruct to block this attack for Fan Yin!

Qin Zhun only gave Fan Yin a glance, and after a brief hesitation, she retreated into the distance. Fan Yin immediately saw the resolute determination in Qin Zhun's eyes. Any further words she might say would only betray Qin Zhun's good intentions. As Qin Shiyin's teacher, Qin Zhun had clearly not anticipated the changes in Qin Shiyin; he had failed in his duty. However, in this life-or-death crisis, Qin Zhun still shouldered his responsibility, shielding Fan Yin from the fatal blow!

As his self-destruction reached its climax, Qin Zhun looked in the direction of Tang Qiying in his final moments. His life had come to an end, and he was looking at none other than his disciple whom he had carefully taught for nearly twenty years—Qin Shiyin.

A sense of regret swirled within him; for the first and last time in his life, he felt utterly unsuccessful as a master. He had been incredibly proud and elated when he accepted Qin Shiyin as his disciple! Qin Shiyin's talent surpassed all her peers in the Sound Valley; she had risen directly to the inner sect in just three years. At the time, Fan Yin was unwilling to accept disciples, and he secretly rejoiced at having such an outstanding student; otherwise, given Fan Yin's status, someone as talented as Qin Shiyin would never have been his.

Afterwards, Qin Shiyin indeed displayed amazing talent. Qin Tan was already an absolutely rare genius among the younger generation. However, from the moment the two met, Qin Tan was overwhelmed by Qin Shiyin's brilliance, and even his personality became somewhat timid.

After Qin Shiyin's strength improved, she demonstrated her powerful talent in wood-attribute battle qi and sonic battle techniques. She was groomed as the next Valley Master of Yin Valley from a very early age and was given the core surname of Yin Valley—Qin! At that time, Qin Zhun was extremely proud. He himself did not make it into the selection of the Valley Master of Yin Valley, but his disciple undoubtedly did!

He always held Qin Shiyin to the standards of the Lord of Yin Gu, and Qin Shiyin consistently met his requirements perfectly, so he never felt there was anything wrong with it.

Aside from that training session seven years ago, he originally thought that Qin Shiyin, with her Dou Huang strength and the background of the Yin Valley, would be more than capable of venturing into the ruins of a Dou Zun. He only arranged for backup outside the ruins and didn't follow her inside. After returning from that experience, Qin Zhun noticed that his disciple had changed, and there was always a subtle distance between them. However, at the time, Qin Zhun thought this was a good thing. Qin Shiyin's dislike of competition was still unacceptable for a Valley Master.

He even lamented that he should have let Qin Shiyin explore the world on her own a long time ago. He never expected that Qin Shiyin would become increasingly indifferent afterward, yet more and more devoted to cultivation. Eventually, even Qin Zhun found it strange, but he always explained everything himself, never truly trying to understand what his disciple was thinking.

It's too late to regret it now!

Looking in Qin Shiyin's direction, Qin Zhun finally shed two tears: "Shiyin, actually, your teacher is also sorry to you!"

The next moment, the Dou Zun expert's deliberate self-destruction erupted, the energy fluctuations sweeping across the entire sky. Blue and white Dou Qi and ethereal soul energy gathered and roared within the Sound Valley, and Fan Yin was also forced back by the energy wave. Finally, looking at the still swirling aftershocks, a hint of sadness appeared on her usually unchanging face.

Qin Zhun, one of the three powerful Dou Zun of Yin Valley, has fallen. Although Qin Zhun was only the Grand Elder of Yin Valley, his seniority was higher than that of Fan Yin, and he had witnessed many changes in Yin Valley. The fall of such an existence at this moment has greatly shocked everyone in Yin Valley.

Qin Shiyin, standing to the side, could no longer hold back her tears. The sight of Qin Zhun's soul exploding before her eyes had deeply impacted her. Qin Shiyin gritted her teeth and glared at Tang Qiying, shouting, "You said it would never affect Teacher! Didn't you tell me that as long as we succeeded, Teacher would eventually become the Valley Master?"

Tang Qiying said gently, "Yinmei, you saw it too, your teacher rushed over by himself, and it was too late for me to stop!"

At this moment, Qin Shiyin was also overwhelmed by the emotions following Qin Zhun's death, and sat there blankly with unfocused eyes.

At this moment, everyone in Yin Valley was evacuating. Tang Qiying was just about to offer some gentle words of advice when a figure, accompanied by a ball of fire, appeared before him as if tearing through space. Tang Qiying's heart skipped a beat when he saw the newcomer, and he knew something was wrong. Just as he was about to take countermeasures, the exquisite fire lotus suddenly tore open!

A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. When Tang Qiying controlled the Chaotic Sound Array, he had absolutely no way to confront him head-on. But now, Tang Qiying had just defeated Fan Yin, and the tension in his heart had eased briefly. Xiao Yan didn't even dare to throw the Fire Lotus; instead, he directly held the Fire Lotus in front of Tang Qiying and Qin Shiyin and detonated it!

Xiao Yan couldn't break Tang Qiying's protective formation, but the fact that Chen Wei had taken a liking to him and considered taking him as a disciple showed that Xiao Yan's talent was extraordinary. He could roughly guess the weakness of Tang Qiying's protective formation based on his intuition!

His decision to detonate the fire lotus at close range was also an attempt to kill Qin Shiyin at the first opportunity and obtain the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.

Although the Fire Lotus was created by Xiao Yan, the energy generated by the violent explosion and the sea of ​​three-colored strange flames that filled the sky were not something Xiao Yan could simply ignore! He was at the very center of the Fire Lotus explosion, which was also extremely dangerous for him.

The three thousand lightning phantoms that were still guarding Qinglin and Xiaoyixian in the distance were becoming increasingly transparent, and it wouldn't be long before they collapsed and disappeared!
