Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened, and she turned her head, only to realize that Ye Qiu had already arrived by her side.
His blood-colored eyes had tears of blood streaming down from the corners, and this enormous blood-colored arm stretched out from behind Ye Qiu. His body was also enveloped by something resembling a circle of ribs.
Is this his new Spirit Ability?
"Cough, cough!" Zhu Zhuqing, immersed in shock, suddenly coughed, and her hand covering her mouth was stained crimson.
The enormous blood-red bone arm dissipated into thin air. Ye Qiu walked over and supported her. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I won't die! Hiss~ Cough, cough!" Leaning against Ye Qiu's body, she wouldn't die, but she feared her ribs were broken again! Even breathing caused pain.
"It's good that you're fine. I'll avenge you now!" Ye Qiu's voice carried a chilling killing intent.
If Zhu Zhuqing were to die, he would feel incredibly guilty, and then he would be next, wouldn't he?
In the distance, the Iron Scale Python, whose head was somewhat battered and bleeding from the red bone arm, finally regained consciousness from its daze.
It opened its gaping maw and roared, its vertical pupils fixed on Ye Qiu's figure. Its body, over ten meters long, coiled up like a spring.
"Hiss~" It flicked its forked tongue, and its snake head, like the tip of a spear, struck straight forward like a long spear.
"Ah~" Amidst Zhu Zhuqing's cry of alarm, Ye Qiu, quick-eyed and quick-handed, directly picked her up and flashed to a nearby tree.
Boom!
A giant tree was snapped in half.
Ye Qiu faced the giant python below, his right eye tightly shut, blood slowly flowing from the corner of his eye, and he uttered words Zhu Zhuqing couldn't understand.
"Amaterasu!"
His right eye opened, bloodshot.
"It's on fire? Black fire!" Zhu Zhuqing watched as the Iron Scale Python's body below suddenly burst into flames.
"Roar!" Bang! Bang!
The Iron Scale Python continuously thrashed about, but it couldn't extinguish the black flames on its body. Instead, they burned more fiercely, and terror showed in its eyes as it repeatedly crashed into the surrounding trees and rocks.
A moment later, the Iron Scale Python had been completely incinerated, leaving only a purple spirit ring in the air, which looked terrifying in the dark night!
"Gulp! What terrifying flames!" Zhu Zhuqing swallowed hard, looking at Ye Qiu, who was holding her, somewhat incoherently, "Ye…Ye Qiu, is this your Spirit Ability?"
"Yes, it's my right eye's Spirit Ability, named Amaterasu!" Looking at the mess below, the scorched earth, Ye Qiu touched his eye, extremely satisfied! It's just that using this move required a bit of bleeding.
"Amaterasu? What were you shouting just now?"
"That's its alternate name, it means the same thing." Ye Qiu's face was a bit pale. "Let's enter my Divine Might Space first!"
"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded. The night in the Star Dou Great Forest was truly too dangerous.
'Wait!' Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Qiu in surprise, 'He just said it was his right eye's Spirit Ability!? Does that mean his left eye has another Spirit Ability? Was it that red arm just now?'
Although she had many questions in her heart, she didn't ask them. She didn't want to be coldly rebuked like last time when she asked about the Divine Might Space.
A vortex appeared, and their figures vanished into the jungle.
As soon as they entered the Divine Might Space, Ye Qiu, who was holding Zhu Zhuqing, began to tremble all over.
"Ye Qiu, are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him worriedly. "Let me down first!"
"It's nothing, just my body and eyes hurt a bit. I'm not quite used to the new Spirit Ability yet." He then placed Zhu Zhuqing on the familiar bed.
"It's you, though, who suffered such severe injuries for me!" Ye Qiu felt a bit apologetic. The Emerald Cloud Winged Tiger's sacrifice shouldn't have taken so long, but during the absorption process, he found that the Sharingan seemed to hide something. In order to successfully find that power, he was delayed for a long time.
"It's nothing. You've saved me several times already; I've only saved you once." Lying on the bed, Zhu Zhuqing's face had already begun to blush. "I'll have to trouble you again next!"
"No problem! Where are you hurt?" Ye Qiu rolled up his sleeves. After more than half a month, he had gained considerable experience in treating injuries.
She looked away, pursing her lips, a little nervous, "The ribs inside my chest… are broken again!"
"Oh, I'm good at this!"
Ye Qiu spoke too quickly for a moment, causing her to recall the previous situation where they were candid with each other, leading to her furious scolding.
"You! You shut up, shameless!"
He scratched his head awkwardly.
"Come on!" She turned her face away and, without a word, began to unbutton her clothes.
"Cough, cough, that…" Ye Qiu stood beside her, coughed twice, then tilted his head back.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at her in confusion. Had she done something wrong?
"This time, you actually don't need to take off your clothes… You can apply the medicine yourself." Ye Qiu's voice was like dry firewood.
Zhu Zhuqing's actions of undressing stiffened, and her cheeks were so red they seemed to be on fire.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
"You were the one who took them off too fast!"
"You peeked! You're shameless!"
"Nonsense! I was clearly looking to see if you had put them on."
"Ah! You scoundrel!"
Amidst Zhu Zhuqing's screams and curses, her ribs were reset.
Leaving her to apply the medicine herself, Ye Qiu walked to the side, turned his back to her, and sat down cross-legged, tallying his gains.
After the Emerald Cloud Winged Tiger's sacrifice and the excess spirit power from absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone earlier, his level had already reached 26!
This rate of improvement was simply terrifying!
In terms of Spirit Abilities, he finally had a few more offensive methods.
His left eye's Tsukuyomi is a type of illusion, immensely powerful. When activated, it only requires eye contact with the opponent to pull their mental force into the illusion World. In this World, all factors, including time, place, and quality, are manipulated by Ye Qiu at will, delivering devastating blows to the opponent at a mental level.
His right eye's Amaterasu, in the World of Naruto, is known as the strongest physical attack! It can release inextinguishable black flames at the focal point of the gaze, burning the target until it is completely consumed!
And the opportunity brought by adding the second spirit ring allowed Ye Qiu to prematurely use the Martial Soul True Body belonging to the Sharingan, which is Susanoo!
Although he can only use the first stage now (no head, only ribs and arms), it is still a powerful offensive and defensive method!
"Sigh!" Ye Qiu sighed. Although these skills were powerful, they were particularly damaging to the body.
Especially Susanoo, its use not only overdraws mental force but also makes his whole body feel as if it's being pricked by needles. Thinking about how Tang San also barely managed to use his Martial Soul True Body prematurely by relying on the Seven-in-One, and couldn't use it a second time in a short period.
He lay down straight, his hands clasped behind his head. "Sigh! Martial Soul True Body is still a bit far off for me. It's better to use it sparingly as a trump card!"
"Ye Qiu! I've applied the medicine…" Zhu Zhuqing quietly came to Ye Qiu's side. At this moment, she had even changed her clothes.
"Why aren't you resting more? Can your body handle it?" Ye Qiu propped himself up, motioning for her to sit down.
"I'm not that delicate!" Zhu Zhuqing sat down beside Ye Qiu, her small face a bit pale, and for some reason, she became somewhat melancholic. "What were you thinking about just now?"
"Nothing…" Ye Qiu chuckled softly.
"Really~" Seeing that Ye Qiu didn't want to say more, she didn't ask further. "What about that tiger's Spirit Bone? Did you bring it back?"
"Of course I brought it back!" Ye Qiu smiled, and from somewhere, he produced a gleaming green Spirit Bone.
"Here, this is the Spirit Bone it dropped. It's a rare head Spirit Bone! I guess its ability should be related to mental attacks."
"Your luck is too good, isn't it? Either an external Spirit Bone or a head Spirit Bone~" Zhu Zhuqing took the Spirit Bone and examined it carefully. "It's quite pretty. Are you going to absorb it?"
Ye Qiu's mouth twitched. Could this color be called pretty on a head? He didn't have any particular fetishes.
"No, its age is still too low. It wouldn't be bad to exchange it for some money at an auction house if I get the chance!"
"How about you sell it to me?" Zhu Zhuqing asked tentatively.
"Don't even think about absorbing it. This thing will only hold you back, and you won't be able to replace it later!" Ye Qiu snatched it back, not forgetting to roll his eyes at her.
Can beauty be eaten?
"You don't think I want to buy it because I think it's pretty, do you?" Seeing Ye Qiu's expression, she stated her guess, her face showing a hint of danger.
"How could that be? How could I think of you as so shallow!" Ye Qiu waved his hands repeatedly.
Then he got up and walked towards his own bed. To live more comfortably here, Ye Qiu had even made another bed.
"You're injured, so you should rest early!"
