The Confrontation Under Crisis
Qin Shaofeng had long known that a Middle Celestial would definitely be strong.
But he did not expect the other party to be so strong.
Although the Empty Spirit Pearl did not have the spiritual energy of Qin Shaofeng and the rest, it was still maintained.
But just the spiritual energy of Zhou Futong and the rest of the Lesser Celestial experts was enough to activate the defensive power of the Empty Spirit Pearl.
But even with such a defensive power, against a Middle Celestial Spirit Dragon, it could not even withstand a single blow!
Facing such a situation, Zhou Futong seemed to have expected it. As he led everyone towards the exit of the portal, he and the rest of the Lesser Celestial experts poured more spiritual energy into the pearl.
Seeing such a situation, Qin Shaofeng frowned slightly. This was because he realized that no matter if it was Zhou Futong or the rest, they were only pouring a portion of their spiritual energy into the Spirit Pearl. They did not combine their spiritual energy with the Spirit Dragon Pearl.
This meant that Zhou Futong and the rest did not concentrate all their energy on the Empty Spirit Pearl.
This made Qin Shaofeng keep an eye on it. At the same time, he gave Liu Yizhou a look.
Liu Yizhou seemed to have understood something as well. Immediately, he moved closer to Qin Shaofeng.
Although Wu Yunzi did not notice anything, he noticed the look that Qin Shaofeng gave to Liu Yizhou, as well as Liu Yizhou's movement towards Qin Shaofeng. For a moment, he did the same, and secretly moved closer to where Qin Shaofeng was.
At the same time, the Middle Celestial Spirit Dragon's second attack had already landed.
It was still a huge claw. With a ripping sound, it tore apart the defensive power of the Empty Spirit Pearl.
"Damn it!"
Facing such a situation, and then looking at the portal that was more than a hundred li away, Zhou Futong's face turned ugly.
Then, as if he had thought of something, Zhou Futong turned to Qin Shaofeng and ordered coldly, "Qin Shaofeng, hurry up and give me control of the Empty Spirit Pearl!"
Control of the Empty Spirit Pearl?
First of all, the Empty Spirit Bead had already been completely refined by Qin Shaofeng, so he couldn't just hand over control of it.
Even if he could, under such circumstances, Qin Shaofeng simply wouldn't hand over the control of the Empty Spirit Bead.
Therefore, Qin Shaofeng ignored Zhou Futong and remained silent.
Hmm?
Seeing that Qin Shaofeng didn't respond, Zhou Futong became angry. He shouted in a low voice, "Qin Shaofeng, didn't you hear? I'm ordering you to hand over the control of the Empty Spirit Bead to me. Do you want to disobey our orders? "
This time, Qin Shaofeng finally raised his head, looked at Zhou Futong, and asked indifferently, "Why should I give you control of the Empty Spirit Bead? What are you planning to do? "
"This is not something you should care about. Quickly hand over the control of the Empty Spirit Pearl!" Zhou Futong said coldly.
He panicked. That middle demi-rank spirit dragon seemed to be planning to attack them again.
"No, I refuse!" Qin Shaofeng shook his head and said firmly, "The Second Elder has already told me that the Hall of Elders has approved the right to use the Empty Spirit Bead and handed it over to me. I have the right to refuse your request!"
"Refuse?" Zhou Futong was angry. "Qin Shaofeng, you're courting death. I told you to hand over the control of the Empty Spirit Bead, and you dare to refuse? Do you think I won't dare to kill you?"
Zhou Futong's words and attitude made Liu Yizhou, Chen Feng, and the others realize something. They didn't say anything, but they subconsciously moved closer to Qin Shaofeng.
Because at this time, they seemed to understand why Zhou Futong emphasized handing over the control of the Empty Spirit Bead to him.
That was because the Empty Spirit Bead's current defensive power couldn't withstand the attack of that middle demi-rank spirit dragon.
Zhou Futong was most likely increasing the defensive power of the Empty Spirit Bead to defend against that middle demi-rank spirit dragon's attack.
How could it be increased?
Actually, Liu Yizhou and the others were very clear about this method. It was to reduce the coverage area of the Empty Spirit Bead.
As long as the coverage area was reduced, the defensive power would naturally increase.
But reducing the coverage area of the Empty Spirit Bead meant throwing away some people.
Previously, Qin Shaofeng had already made it clear to Wu Yunzi and the others that everyone's Spiritual Qi would be combined into a Spiritual Energy Array and connected to the Empty Spirit Pearl.
In this way, the Empty Spirit Bead wouldn't be able to throw away the others.
Because the Empty Spirit Bead was being maintained by a spiritual array, and the spiritual array was formed by everyone's spiritual energy.
Once a person was abandoned, it would affect the structure of the spiritual array and cause it to collapse. Even the Empty Spirit Bead would be completely broken.
Without a doubt, it would be completely exposed!
Wu Yunzi and the others also saw through this point, which was why they agreed to join forces with Qin Shaofeng and the others from the Hidden Heaven Sect.
If it wasn't for this point, they wouldn't have casually joined forces with Qin Shaofeng and the others.
After all, no one would choose to leave their lives in the hands of others.
But the current Zhou Futong seemed to be different.
If Zhou Futong and the others had combined their spiritual energy into the spiritual array the moment they entered the Empty Spirit Bead, then there wouldn't be a problem.
Even if Qin Shaofeng wasn't willing, Wu Yunzi and the others would force Qin Shaofeng to agree and make Qin Shaofeng hand over the control of the Empty Spirit Bead!
But Zhou Futong and the others didn't. Even the few lesser celestial experts like them had to look after themselves when they were supplying spiritual energy to maintain the Empty Spirit Bead.
If they were to hand over the control of the Empty Spirit Bead, then they would be in danger.
Because they didn't know if they would be abandoned by Zhou Futong and the others.
Many of them even thought that there was a high possibility of them being abandoned by Zhou Futong and the others. Otherwise, they wouldn't have silently stood by Qin Shaofeng's side.
Seeing such a situation, Zhou Futong's face darkened. He instantly understood the intentions of Qin Shaofeng and the others.
In all seriousness, this was indeed Zhou Futong's plan.
Once he obtained control of the Empty Spirit Bead, the first thing he would do was to remove Qin Shaofeng and the others from the protection of the Empty Spirit Bead. Then, he would reduce the coverage of the Empty Spirit Bead to an area that could only accommodate the nine lesser celestial experts.
Because this way, they would definitely be able to resist the resistance of the Middle celestial spirit dragon.
"You …"
Zhou Futong was furious and wanted to say something. But at this time, the Middle celestial spirit dragon's attack had already landed for the third time.
Zhou Futong and the others' faces changed. Without saying anything, they immediately increased the supply of spiritual energy to maintain the defense of the Empty Spirit Bead.
Rip … Boom!
The Empty Spirit Bead's defense was torn apart again. The Middle celestial spirit dragon seemed to have the mentality of a cat toying with a mouse. It wasn't in a hurry to kill Qin Shaofeng and the others.
After tearing apart the Empty Spirit Bead's defense, it retracted its dragon claws.
As for the other spirit dragons that were supposed to fight earlier on, they had long left the battlefield and were watching from afar.
This was because when Zhou Futong attacked first and killed the fifty Li Lei that were about to self-destruct, they felt that something was wrong and retreated immediately.
Now that they saw an even stronger spirit dragon appear, they naturally had no intention of attacking.
Because there was no need for it anymore!
Looking at the Empty Spirit Bead's defense that had recovered, Zhou Futong's face darkened as he looked at Qin Shaofeng and the others. He said angrily, "I'll say it one last time. Hand over the Empty Spirit Bead. Otherwise, you'll all die!"
Boom!
As he spoke, Zhou Futong's aura exploded out completely.
Lesser celestial!
And it was a Lesser celestial level 5! This caused Liu Yizhou and Wu Yunzi's faces to turn pale instantly.
Because of Zhou Futong's words, it could be said that he had completely shed all pretense of cordiality.
At this moment, be it Liu Yizhou or Wu Yunzi or anyone else from the other factions, none of them said anything like 'We're from the same sect, you can't be like this'.
Other than Zhou Futong and the other lesser celestial being from the Hidden Heaven Sect, the remaining lesser celestial beings came from various factions. Among them, there were lesser celestial beings from the Limitless Sect.
And these lesser celestial beings were only those who had entered the Spirit Dragon Space earlier on. Right now, they had all broken through to the lesser celestial state.
But at this moment, they seemed to be of the same mind as Zhou Futong.
Evidently, in order to survive, they could no longer care about Qin Shaofeng and the other disciples.
There was nothing they could do about it. A middle celestial spirit dragon was simply too strong.
If they couldn't even protect themselves, how could they care about anything else?
Therefore, at this moment, Liu Yizhou and Wu Yunzi's hearts were filled with desolation.
Was this what the elders of the same sect would do in a desperate situation?
But Qin Shaofeng did not panic in his heart. He merely stretched out his right hand gently.
Shing!
A bright silver light flashed. At this moment, the Flying Feather Saber in Qin Shaofeng's hand erupted with an extremely strong sharpness.
"I'll still say the same thing. I will not hand over the control of the Empty Spirit Pearl to you!"
This was …?
Feeling the sharp aura of Qin Shaofeng's right hand, Zhou Futong's heart skipped a beat. From that sharp aura, he could feel the aura of a lesser celestial.
This Qin Shaofeng could actually unleash the power of a lesser celestial?
Zhou Futong had heard before that Qin Shaofeng had a special Flying Feather Saber on him. But that thing required a huge amount of Spirit Qi to unleash an attack that was equivalent to one's own strength.
And compared to his own attack, it required even more Spirit Qi. It was a completely useless heaven-grade weapon.
Therefore, he did not pay much attention to it.
However, at that moment, he finally understood what the Second Elder meant by those words.
Qin Shaofeng's Flying Feather Saber was indeed a useless heaven-grade weapon. But when used on Qin Shaofeng, it was extremely useful.
When he first heard the Second Elder's words, Zhou Futong did not quite believe it. But now, it seemed that it was true!
If this were any other time, Zhou Fusong would not have been bothered by it. After all, even though the aura emanating from Qin Shaofeng was that of a lesser celestial, Zhou Fusong could still feel a sense of threat from it.
But that was it. It was only a trace of threat. It was not enough to make him cower.
But now, things were different.
There was an existence above them that was toying with them. Moreover, the control of the Empty Spirit Pearl was not in Zhou Futong's hands.
If they were to force Qin Shaofeng to make a move against them at this time, then everyone would be finished.
Instantly, Zhou Futong made a decision in his heart. Coldly, he looked at Qin Shaofeng and said indifferently, "If you don't want to hand over the Empty Spirit Pearl, then use all your Spirit Qi. Otherwise, we'll all be doomed together!"
As he spoke, he nodded to the other lesser celestial experts. Then, he crazily injected large amounts of Spirit Qi into the Empty Spirit Pearl.
Because of the Great Liang's Spirit Qi, the Empty Spirit Pearl's defense actually increased by a level.
Because of this, Wu Yunzi and Liu Yizhou heaved a sigh of relief. They thought that Zhou Futong had chosen to compromise.
