Chapter 364: Chapter 364
「At this moment, inside the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land.」
After Shao Zhengze left, he sought out Qin Tian. It went without saying that everything Shao Zhengze did was at Qin Tian’s behest. He wasn’t foolish enough to get his own hands dirty. It was sufficient to bind others with benefits and have them do his bidding.
Qin Tian stood at the front, his head slightly tilted upward, his gaze fixed on the apex of the great hall. Shao Zhengze was behind him, saying something.
"Shao, you’ve certainly put in a great effort this time."
Qin Tian turned around. A smile graced his handsome face, though his eyes remained utterly placid.
"Qin, rest assured. That Wen Zhixing will surely be unable to resist coming to our Hundred Tribulations Holy Land before long," Shao Zhengze said, laughing heartily.
"That’s reassuring. However, don’t you think these measures are still too mild? Next time... let’s make it more intense." A faint smile touched Qin Tian’s lips upon hearing this. He then lightly patted Shao Zhengze’s shoulder and said, "I like working with capable people. I hope you won’t disappoint me, Shao."
His gaze held both expectation and danger.
"Too mild?" Shao Zhengze was stunned, then it dawned on him: Qin Tian was not satisfied with his actions.
The next instant, an extremely cold aura emanated from Qin Tian’s body, making Shao Zhengze involuntarily tense up.
"Qin, I... I understand..."
In that moment, he didn’t even dare to meet Qin Tian’s gaze.
"Good." Qin Tian’s smile was tinged with a hint of madness. A powerful pressure emanated from him. He was impatient to absorb the Genius Spirit Seed; he truly had no patience left to wait.
Shao Zhengze involuntarily lowered his head again, his complexion paling slightly.
"You may leave." Qin Tian patted Shao Zhengze’s shoulder again, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Yes." Shao Zhengze nodded respectfully and was about to retreat.
However, just then, a mouthful of fresh red blood fiercely spurted from Qin Tian’s mouth. His arrogant demeanor vanished in an instant.
"Huh?" Shao Zhengze was taken aback as the blood sprayed right onto his face.
What are you doing? Why the hell are you spitting blood on my face!
"What is this..." However, Qin Tian hadn’t processed it either. He just blankly wiped the corner of his mouth, staring in a daze at the smear of blood on his hand.
The next moment, a strange power began to emerge within his body, causing his qi and blood to surge wildly and his Spiritual Qi to run chaotically, as if he could go berserk at any moment.
Violent power erupted.
"Qin!" Shao Zhengze’s eyes sharpened, sensing something was wrong with Qin Tian. He was about to help but then saw a bizarre black energy writhing wildly before him.
"What is... this thing..." A tremendous sense of crisis flashed through Shao Zhengze’s mind, and he stumbled back repeatedly. His instincts screamed that this power was not to be trifled with.
"What is this thing!?" Qin Tian’s expression darkened, and he hurriedly sat cross-legged. A powerful cultivation skill began to circulate. All the Spiritual Qi within his body was mobilized as he attempted to forcefully suppress the strange power raging inside him.
However, in just an instant, his Spiritual Qi not only failed to suppress the power but was instead assimilated by it, directly becoming nourishment for the strange force.
Another large mouthful of fresh blood gushed out. At that moment, Qin Tian began bleeding from all seven orifices. The Power of the Curse within him grew rapidly, moving as though it were alive, rampaging through his body. An inexplicable, eerie cry burrowed deep into his mind.
"What the hell is this thing!" Qin Tian’s eyes widened as his body involuntarily contorted, and he collapsed to his knees.
"Not good, Qin, you’ve been cursed!" Shao Zhengze, standing to the side, had figured it out.
This power is clearly a curse. From the looks of it, it’s obviously not to be trifled with; this Power of the Curse is practically alive. How could it not be formidable?
After saying that, Shao Zhengze took another few steps back, fearing he too would be contaminated by the curse.
"A curse?" Qin Tian was momentarily stunned, then his expression became terrifyingly grim.
How could I have been cursed for no reason? What kind of curse is this? I didn’t even sense its approach! And who? Who would dare to curse me?!
Soon, Qin Tian was bleeding from all seven orifices again, and cracks even began to appear in his Sea of Qi. This bizarre power was insidious, seeping into everything and leaving him unable to defend against it. Everything within his body was failing.
"Shao, quick! Help me suppress this Power of the Curse!" Qin Tian roared, raising his head, tears of blood streaming down his face.
He understood the terrifying nature of this strange curse and, without hesitation, decided to pull someone else in to act as a buffer. With two people, they might be able to hold out a little longer.
At the same time, he had already sent out a distress signal. It wouldn’t take long for powerful experts to come to his rescue.
"This..." However, Shao Zhengze hesitated. As he looked at the strange power that seemed to writhe and roar on Qin Tian’s body, a chill gripped his heart.
"Shao Zhengze! What are you still doing? Get over here, now!" Qin Tian roared. Seeing Shao Zhengze still hesitating, his face twisted ferociously as he ground his teeth.
"This..." Shao Zhengze’s expression flickered, and he cursed furiously in his heart.
You damn beast! So when you’re in trouble, you want me to take the fall, is that it? Dıscover more novels at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"Come here!" Qin Tian’s whole body was bulging with veins, blood vessels continually rupturing. His aura was already rapidly weakening, but he still snarled viciously, "Do you want to watch me die? If I die, do you think you’ll still have it easy?"
"This..." Shao Zhengze’s body stiffened, his hands clenching fiercely. He was, in fact, an orphan whom the Qin Family had taken in from childhood but had raised outside the family’s direct sphere.
