Chapter 1995 - 1525: Crippling the Man in Black Robes! (Part 3)

The Netherworld Ghost Lotus is indeed a rare spiritual item, but the one in front of them isn't yet mature, which makes it considerably less valuable. Although Qin Fang found it quite tempting, it was not enough to make him lose his composure.He had real spiritual medicines in his hands, like Golden Dragon Saliva and Lingyuan Grass. A single yet-to-mature Netherworld Ghost Lotus, which couldn't even be considered a real spiritual medicine, didn't quite catch Qin Fang's interest.

The Black Robe Man couldn't be as nonchalant as Qin Fang. Upon seeing Qin Fang's attempt to seize the Netherworld Ghost Lotus, his face turned completely green.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else. His only goal was to secure the Netherworld Ghost Lotus... This was an important material for his strength restoration and advancement to the Great Grandmaster Level.

Without the Netherworld Ghost Lotus, relying on just the Netherworld Blood Pool could prolong his advancement time by many multiples.

The Great Grandmaster Level is a critical threshold. Once past it, leveraging the Netherworld Blood Pool, the Black Robe Man could easily elevate to the Great Grandmaster Peak Level. Though entering the Supreme Realm remained incredibly challenging, at this power level, he'd have virtually no rivals...

However, if he failed to surpass it, the difficulty of advancement would significantly increase, and the pace would slow down considerably. Even if he eventually surpassed it, it might be a long time in the future.

It's like having a mountain of treasures yet letting someone else take advantage, only getting messy oneself. The Black Robe Man was evidently unwilling to commit such folly.

The Netherworld Blood Pool was right here, neither seizable nor stealable by anyone else, so he could afford to leave it temporarily. However, the Netherworld Ghost Lotus... it was something the Black Robe Man had to claim!

Qin Fang didn't turn back; seemingly focused on reaching for the Netherworld Ghost Lotus... Yet, in reality, he was closely watching the Black Robe Man's movements.

Even without turning back, Qin Fang could accomplish this with his small map, just in a more concealed manner!

Seeing the Black Robe Man gradually approaching, Qin Fang's lips curled into a peculiar smile, and his fingers touched the Netherworld Ghost Lotus.

"Die~~"

The Black Robe Man, swift and explosive with his maximum attack power, lunged directly at Qin Fang. This extremely fierce strike seemed to wish to flatten Qin Fang into a meat pancake!

But would Qin Fang fall into the trap?

Clearly impossible!

The Netherworld Ghost Lotus was an extremely valuable treasure to the Black Robe Man, but for Qin Fang, it was dispensable.

To lose one's life over a not fully mature Netherworld Ghost Lotus was not a foolish act Qin Fang would commit...

However, Qin Fang still picked the Netherworld Ghost Lotus, just a bit "carelessly" in his handling.

Of course, only he understood these small actions, while others would find it difficult to notice the difference.

"Take it!"

And the moment the Netherworld Ghost Lotus was in his hand, Qin Fang couldn't even bother to keep it warm, casually tossing it towards the Black Robe Man.

"Ah~~"

The Black Robe Man, amidst his furious rage, was striking with such brutality that the violent energy aura seemed capable of tearing through the surrounding void.

But now, a blood-red Netherworld Ghost Lotus flew towards him. If confronted head-on, it could be blasted to pieces!

"Damn it..."

This scenario caught the Black Robe Man off guard, he never expected Qin Fang to abandon such a treasure.

But, the Black Robe Man had no time to ponder the hidden reasons and had to quickly retract his aura and stretch out to catch this Netherworld Ghost Lotus.

This was a treasure he absolutely needed, and it had finally fallen into his hands... Though prematurely picked and losing much of its potency, which infuriated him, he had no choice in the matter; at least it was better than letting someone else have it.

Yet, upon acquiring the Netherworld Ghost Lotus, he realized a face was embarrassingly close to his... almost touching him entirely.

Instinctively, the eerie green eyes of the Black Robe Man widened significantly, clear astonishment reflected in them.

He instinctively sensed something wrong, perceived a tremendously strong killing intent, and the fierce threat almost left him paralyzed.

Swish~~

Alas, even realizing it now was useless, for Qin Fang was already too close... The distance between them was less than a meter.

At such a near distance, if Qin Fang didn't act, there'd certainly be something odd...

However, instead of using his fist, Qin Fang drew his sword, aiming at the Black Robe Man's heart. The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword transformed into a streak of light, plunging fiercely.

A somewhat eerie sound resonated; it seemed like the sound of a blade piercing flesh, just somewhat strange...

"You..."

With the successful strike, the Black Robe Man's eyes bulged significantly, filled with disbelief...

It's unknown if this disbelief was due to being wounded despite being at his strongest or puzzled by how Qin Fang wielded a sword...

"Die~~"

Even though severely wounded, the Black Robe Man was not instantly killed. Instead, the strike fully aroused his ferociousness, prompting him to strike a palm at Qin Fang.

Qin Fang was indeed very close to the Black Robe Man, but likewise, the Black Robe Man was very close to Qin Fang. This palm strike was clearly meant to take Qin Fang down with him.

Bang~~

Yet, Qin Fang did not sit idly; he also swung his palm lightly blocking the Black Robe Man and leveraged the opponent's brutal palm energy to retreat backward.

While retreating, the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword in his hand mysteriously vanished... Directly disappearing from the Black Robe Man's heart! (To be continued.
