318: Chapter 318 Junior Brother, Go Away in Peace

This voice came suddenly, carrying a hint of arrogance. Qin Changsheng's heart tightened as he instantly composed himself, snapping his head up to look in the direction the voice came from.

Within the woods not far away, two Cultivators suddenly rushed out.

Both were dressed in black Cultivator robes, one stout and one thin, both at the First Layer of Golden Core.

Their eyes were fixed on the ten stalks of purple-veined spirit grass in Hu Nan's hand, their eyes showing undisguised greed.

Their gazes weren't on Qin Changsheng at all, as if they already considered these ten rare Spiritual Plants their own.

Qin Changsheng slowly stood straight and put the purple-veined spirit grass into his Storage Space.

Facing these two, Qin Changsheng didn't feel any panic.

After all, he possessed many traits and ten earth grade high-rank Lifebound Treasures.

There was no difficulty at all.

Seeing that Qin Changsheng had no intention of handing over the Spiritual Plants, the thin Cultivator's smile vanished instantly, and he barked, "Kid, if you're smart, hand over the purple-veined spirit grass quickly! Our brothers' cultivation is equal to yours!"

"You're alone and no match for us. Don't force our hand; otherwise, not only will you lose the Spiritual Plants, but you'll also lose your life!"

Hearing the thin man's voice, Qin Changsheng was slightly taken aback.

Because at this moment, Qin Changsheng had recognized the person's voice.

He was Wang Jinhua, who had traded a heavenly dao fragment to Qin Changsheng not long ago.

He hadn't expected to run into Wang Jinhua inside the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

And this Wang Jinhua wanted to rob him of his Spiritual Plants?

"Wang Jinhua?" Qin Changsheng asked aloud.

As soon as he spoke, Wang Jinhua's movements abruptly stopped. The ferocity on his face froze, and his eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief, as if he had heard something impossible.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

"How do you know this Wang?" Wang Jinhua looked Qin Changsheng up and down.

He completely failed to understand how Qin Changsheng had recognized him so suddenly.

"Regardless of who you are, be sensible today and hand over the ten stalks of purple-veined spirit grass quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

However, Wang Jinhua quickly calmed down. Regardless of whether Qin Changsheng knew him or not, he intended to seize the treasures in Qin Changsheng's hands today.

Qin Changsheng glanced at Wang Jinhua and quickly came up with a plan.

"Since Brother Wang wants these ten stalks of purple-veined spirit grass, it's not out of the question."

"How about this: if you can withstand three of my moves, I will hand over these ten stalks of purple-veined spirit grass with both hands, no questions asked."

Upon hearing this, both Wang Jinhua and the stout Cultivator beside him were stunned, followed by expressions of wild joy and disdain.

Wang Jinhua sized Hu Nan up and down, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "What did you say? You want us to take three of your moves?"

In his view, this mysterious Cultivator must have only recently broken through to the First Layer of Golden Core, with an unstable cultivation Foundation and weak combat power.

He was already at the Second Layer of Golden Core, and his cultivation was far more solid than that of an ordinary newly advanced Golden Core Cultivator. Furthermore, with a companion also at the First Layer of Golden Core by his side, even if the opponent had some tricks, they couldn't cause much trouble.

Forget three moves; even if it were thirty or three hundred, he was completely confident.

The opponent proposing such a bet was simply overestimating himself. He was clearly afraid and trying to stall for time, but little did he know this played right into Wang Jinhua's hands. He could easily get the purple-veined spirit grass and humiliate this ignorant kid.

Wang Jinhua looked at the fat Cultivator beside him.

The fat Cultivator nodded slightly, obviously agreeing that this was feasible.

Only then did Wang Jinhua bark at Hu Nan, "Fine! I agree! But don't you regret it! If I withstand them within three moves, you must hand over the ten stalks of purple-veined spirit grass with both hands. If you try any tricks, I'll tear you into a thousand pieces!"

His eyes were full of determination, as if those ten stalks of purple-veined spirit grass were already firmly in his grasp.

He had even begun calculating how to deal with the purple-veined spirit grass once he got them.

At the same time, there was some doubt in his eyes because purple-veined spirit grass is very precious and requires a vast amount of Spiritual Qi.

Within a thousand-mile radius, only one stalk would normally appear.

Yet now, ten stalks had appeared, which was extremely rare.

"Very well, Fellow Daoist Wang, please take my move!" Qin Changsheng looked at Wang Jinhua's conceited manner, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Qin Changsheng didn't waste any words and instantly activated the Heavenly Dao Trait [Thunder God] within his body.

Without the need for tedious incantations or deliberately gathering mana, Qin Changsheng simply waved his hand lightly, and a violent and domineering power of lightning erupted from his palm.

This lightning power was translucent white, interspersed with fine golden patterns. From a distance, it looked like a dormant thunderclap, emitting a heart-stopping Pressure.

The lightning power quickly converged and intertwined in the air, and in just an instant, it formed a massive Lightning Chain.

The chain was as thick as a bowl, surrounded by crackling electrical light. Every link of the chain was covered with dense thunder patterns. The violent Spiritual Qi intertwined with the Pressure of the Golden Trait Thunder God, sweeping fiercely toward Wang Jinhua and the fat Cultivator.

Wherever the Lightning Chain passed, the air was instantly ionized, making a sharp crackling sound. The frost on the surface of the cold pond was instantly dispersed, even giving rise to bursts of white mist, and even the surrounding space trembled slightly.

The conceit and mockery on Wang Jinhua's face froze the moment the Lightning Chain appeared. His expression then changed drastically, shifting rapidly from disdain to shock and panic. His eyes were also tinged with an unmistakable regret, and his body even began to tremble uncontrollably.

He never imagined that this ordinary Cultivator could summon such a powerful Spell!

The power of this Lightning Chain far exceeded his expectations. Forget him being only in the early Golden Core stage; even a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator might not necessarily withstand this attack.

At this moment, Wang Jinhua's heart was filled with intense regret.

He felt secretly annoyed with himself; he shouldn't have been so arrogant, shouldn't have easily provoked this mysterious Cultivator, and certainly shouldn't have been so greedy as to think of robbing the other party's purple-veined spirit grass.

If he had known the opponent was this powerful, he would have restrained his greed, turned around, and left, never inviting this fatal disaster upon himself.

"Junior Brother, quickly deploy your defensive Magic Treasure!" Wang Jinhua suppressed the panic in his heart and roared at the fat Cultivator beside him, who was already scared witless. His voice was urgent and frantic, with a hint of subtle calculation.

The fat Cultivator was paralyzed by the Pressure of the Lightning Chain, his face pale and his body shaking. His mind was a complete blank until he heard Wang Jinhua's roar. Snapping back to his senses, his eyes filled with terror, he scrambled to take out a mysterious grade high grade defensive Magical Artifact from his Storage Pouch.

It was a round Bronze Shield with simple defensive patterns carved on its surface, capable of blocking attacks from an ordinary Cultivator at the First Layer of Golden Core.

But just as the fat Cultivator deployed the Bronze Shield, Wang Jinhua suddenly moved. He reached out, grabbed the fat Cultivator's shield, and simultaneously shoved the fat Cultivator hard toward the Lightning Chain.

Caught off guard, the fat Cultivator stumbled forward a few steps, ending up directly in front of the Lightning Chain. Meanwhile, Wang Jinhua, holding the Bronze Shield, quickly retreated, his eyes filled with selfishness and indifference.

At this point, he no longer cared about any brotherly bond. He only wanted the fat Cultivator to block this fatal blow for him. As long as he could save his own life, sacrificing a companion meant nothing to him.

"Senior Brother! You... what are you doing?!" The fat Cultivator was in total disbelief. He turned to look at Wang Jinhua, his eyes full of despair and anger. He never imagined that his Senior Brother would push him out to face the disaster at the critical moment.

Clutching the Bronze Shield he had snatched from the fat Cultivator, Wang Jinhua didn't stop. As he retreated frantically, he put on a look of grief and shouted to the fat Cultivator, "Junior Brother, go in peace! I will surely avenge this grudge today and tear this man into a thousand pieces to pay for your life!"
