Chapter 283: Chapter 177 Zhou Yuanchen: How could you understand the bond between us!_3

“Old Zhou, I have identified the location. There’s a ‘Blood Flower’ inside Copper Mountain, exceedingly rare! But it’s guarded by Gromax’s residual will. Unless we defeat it and pass through, we won’t be able to obtain it.”

A moment later, Qin Shi opened his eyes and explained in detail.

“Although the Old Martial Sect has declined, their honorable spirit has never wavered. This heir from Nanhuang Daoist School hasn’t mentioned his own sacrifices at all, which speaks volumes about his character, far superior to the New Martial Sect people.”

Zhou Yuanchen glanced at Qin Shi’s slightly pale young face and felt moved.

Confronting Gromax’s residual will and contending for control of the mortal body must have taken a significant toll.

“Gromax! If it’s just the residual will of a Great Demon, I’m not incapable of confronting it! I’ll hold it off while you pick the flower. Can we do this?”

Zhou Yuanchen sighed deeply, quickly and straightforwardly accepting the task of restraining Gromax’s residual will.

“Old Zhou, that’s a Great Demon of the Netherworld. If it descends, its battle power is absolutely comparable to a Specialized Level. You…”

Qin Shi’s tone was hesitant.

“Don’t worry! It’s not like I’ve never defeated a Specialized Level opponent before!”

Seeing the concern in Qin Shi’s eyes, the blood in Zhou Yuanchen’s body seemed to ignite. He waved his hand and said:

“You go pick the flower! Leave the rest to me!”

The two made their plans.

Qin Shi retreated down several steps, putting some distance between himself and Zhou Yuanchen.

This hottest contender for the championship suddenly mobilized his life force, triggering the vitality of his flesh.

A dense, rusty green light enveloped instantly.

“Not enough!”

Zhou Yuanchen shouted, with every strand of his hair standing on end, rooting upwards.

The complete release of ninety-nine points of life force caused the brilliance from within him to soar skyward, like a half-moon rising from the sea, illuminating all around!

Thud!

The entire Copper Mountain shook!

It was as if a colossal elephant’s foot was trampling down!

Gromax’s residual will, attracted by Zhou Yuanchen, condensed out of nowhere, attempting to seize this excellent mortal body!

“Go now!”

Zhou Yuanchen shouted, and then was struck by the long nose of a demonic figure with the head of an elephant and a human body, sent flying heavily into the steps!

“Keep at it, Old Zhou!”

Qin Shi wasted no time. His spiritual power dispersed to its limit, reaching deep inside Copper Mountain.

Like a web of threads, it fell towards the dazzling, crystal-clear “Blood Flower”!

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

His spiritual power, like a ladle of cold snow water splashing on a furnace surface, kept evaporating.

This pain was like cutting flesh with a knife, both clear and agonizing.

Qin Shi took a deep breath, spiritually merging mortal and spirit, large segments of dragon and serpent characters stamping into his sea of consciousness, suppressing the abnormalities, sweeping away discomfort.

He was neither impatient nor rash. His spirit extended like a tendril, inching forward bit by bit.

Under this level of perception, time seemed to flow very slowly, each second extraordinarily long.

Bang, bang, bang!

Outside, Zhou Yuanchen was being beaten like a sandbag by Gromax’s residual will.

The giant elephant foot stomped hard, crushing the tiny human figure deep into Copper Mountain.

“I can’t hold on!”

Zhou Yuanchen spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. This task was too difficult, completely unable to withstand Gromax’s ferocious assault!

“Just a little more.”

Qin Shi remained calm, his spiritual telekinesis turning into hundreds of tendrils. Finally, one caught hold of the “Blood Flower.”

He gave it a light tug, and with a soft pop, the internal space of Copper Mountain collapsed with a rumble, as if trying to trap the bloom.

But Qin Shi was faster, directly storing it in the Inner Realm!

“It’s done, Old Zhou!”

Qin Shi opened his eyes, and Zhou Yuanchen, who was being pummeled, activated the Ten Directions Frost Demon Path, dropping his life force to its lowest.

Gromax’s residual will roared in rage but still unwillingly dissipated.

“Well done!”

Zhou Yuanchen, bruised and battered, looked at the “Blood Flower” in Qin Shi’s palm and laughed heartily.

If ingested and absorbed, it could easily save tens of millions in expenditure.

Borrowing less money meant a blood-earn!

“Your aura is so weak, you must be experiencing severe spiritual exhaustion. You’ve worked hard.”

Zhou Yuanchen noticed Qin Shi’s pale lips, sweaty forehead, and even slightly erratic breathing.

“Rest for now. Once recovered, we can split it equally…”

Zhou Yuanchen didn’t finish his words as his gaze suddenly sharpened, locking on to a swiftly ascending figure below.

It was Zheng Xu!

“I don’t like owing favors. You’ve given a lot, so I’ll help you this once.”

Zhou Yuanchen stepped down the stairs in large strides, moving downwards like a descending mountain.

…

…

“Zhou Yuanchen, why are you coming down? Is that Qin Shi up there?”

Seeing Zhou Yuanchen, Zheng Xu couldn’t help but smile. They were both collaborators of the Ying family.

If willing to join forces, not only could they eliminate Nanhuang Daoist School’s heir, but slaying him on the spot wasn’t impossible either.

“You’re here for him?”

Zhou Yuanchen asked.

“Of course! The Ying family promised endless rewards if the Nanhuang Daoist School’s heir perishes here!”

Zheng Xu laughed.

“How about it, Zhou Yuanchen? Join me in taking down Qin Shi! I won’t compete for the championship title…”

Zhou Yuanchen sighed, silently cutting off his internal struggle, his gaze becoming firm once again.

“You’re not even worth a billion, and I didn’t want to make a move. But I owe that kid a favor!”

The Ten Directions Frost Demon Path activated at one hundred percent!

A beam of light, like a bright moon, rose, encompassing dozens of meters around!

“You’re mad! Zhou Yuanchen! We’re on the same team…”

Zheng Xu was shocked.

In an instant, his figure was swallowed by the rolling cold wave!
