Chapter 321: Chapter 286: Nether Spirit Blood

Zhang Shaoyang stepped on his Flying Sword, escaping at high speed.

Among the group, only his Cultivation was the lowest.

Thus, when fleeing, he specifically chose to act together with Wan Chengzhi and Chen Man.

As the nephew of Wan Tianming, staying with them undoubtedly felt safer than escaping alone.

"Brother Chen! Be careful!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With a wave of his hand, Wan Chengzhi sent a surge of flame, forcing back the Nether Fire Crow behind them.

Because the three acted together, their larger target attracted as many as five Nether Fire Crows to pursue them.

The three of them joined forces, exchanging attacks, barely managing to hold their own against the Nether Fire Crows’ pursuit.

Zhang Shaoyang shouted, "Brother Wan! The direction of Nether Abyss City has the most Nether Fire Crows. Why don’t we head north first and circle back?"

"No way!"

Wan Chengzhi shouted, "Uncle Ming is in this direction. If we encounter danger, we can still expect Uncle Ming’s support."

"Elder Wan is powerful; surely nothing will happen."

"Of course!"

Chen Man also spoke up, though her eyes flickered as she discreetly observed Zhang Shaoyang.

"We’re not far from Nether Abyss City; just hold on a little longer!"

"Boom...!"

Another wave of Nether Fire attacked, along with a huge Nether Fire Crow, its sharp claws directly striking toward Chen Man.

"Junior Sister Chen!"

Wan Chengzhi roared in anger, but he was surrounded by two Nether Fire Crows and couldn’t spare a hand.

Zhang Shaoyang also had two by his side. He deployed a Flying Sword to entangle one, while a Colored Scarf controlled the second.

Seeing Chen Man in a precarious situation, he did not hesitate, patting his storage bag, five Thunder Shocks appeared in his hand.

"Go!"

The Object Control Technique activated, as if an invisible hand grabbed the five Thunder Shocks, smashing directly onto one of the Nether Fire Crows.

"Boom!"

"Boom Boom...!"

A succession of deafening blasts echoed, scorching flames and sharp iron spines pierced fiercely into the body of the Nether Fire Crow.

Among the five Nether Fire Crows, it was this one attacking Zhang Shaoyang that got severely injured.

Zhang Shaoyang’s eyes flashed, his figure shot out explosively, deploying the Five-colored Smoke and Mist Sword as a streak of light, immediately slashing the Nether Fire Crow.

"Brother Zhang! Quickly go help Junior Sister Chen!"

Wan Chengzhi roared, and Zhang Shaoyang, without hesitation, formed a seal with one hand, pointed forward, and the Five-colored Smoke and Mist Sword transformed into a radiance, enveloping the Nether Fire Crow assaulting Chen Man.

Simultaneously, with another pat of his storage bag, two Fireworks Talismans and five Thunder Shocks appeared.

Having spent twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones and repaying the ’interest’ on the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror Fragment, Zhang Shaoyang was finally able to contact the strongest family system again.

Throughout the journey, he continued to exchange Low-grade Spirit Stones for Thunder Shocks.

Now, his storage bag contained over two hundred Thunder Shocks, an immensely impressive stockpile.

The Fireworks Talisman detonated, shrouding the area in smoke.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Shaoyang once again used the Object Control Technique to grab five Thunder Shocks, smashing them against a Nether Fire Crow.

"Boom!"

"Boom Boom!"

A sudden series of explosive sounds erupted, severely injuring the Nether Fire Crow once more.

Seeing this, Chen Man also pointed forward, her controlled blue Flying Sword flickered sharply, piercing through the body of the Nether Fire Crow.

"Huff, huff..."

Having dealt with the Nether Fire Crow, she panted heavily, glancing with surprise at Zhang Shaoyang still battling another Nether Fire Crow.

In her view, Zhang Shaoyang was clearly a burden, trying to rely on Brother Wan’s strength to escape.

Unexpectedly, while facing the Nether Fire Crow, he was the first to solve his problem and even had a hand to spare in helping her.

And those constant explosions...

Were they Talismans?

Or perhaps... an Artifact Refining item like the Celestial Thunder Seed?

However, now wasn’t the time to ponder, she formed seals again, controlling her Flying Sword to assist Brother Wan.

With the three of them cooperating, along with Zhang Shaoyang’s Thunder Shock support, the remaining three Nether Fire Crows were also killed amidst their screams, their bodies slamming heavily onto the ground.

Wan Chengzhi glanced at the sky, found no enemies, and said, "Junior Sister Chen, Brother Zhang, quickly check the Nether Fire Crow corpses; there might be Nether Spirit Blood."

The three immediately split up to search.

After more than ten breaths, Wan Chengzhi’s voice regrettably said, "Unfortunately, I found none here."

Chen Man also spoke, "Brother Wan, I found none either."

"Hmm... where’s Brother Chen?"

"Brother Chen!"

"Brother Wan!"

Zhang Shaoyang emerged from the dense forest, holding a jade bottle and said, "Brother Wan, look, is this the Nether Spirit Blood?"

Wan Chengzhi approached excitedly, took it, and discovered the jade bottle contained no less than half a bottle of deep blue blood, emitting a faint blue glow.

"Is this really the Nether Spirit Blood?"

Wan Chengzhi asked in astonishment, "Brother Chen, where did you find it?"

"This Nether Spirit Blood is different from common beast blood; ordinary blood possesses no special abilities and is toxic, unusable in refining."

"Only Nether Spirit Blood contains a trace of Spiritual Qi, which we cultivators can absorb."

Zhang Shaoyang said, "To be honest, Brother Chen doesn’t know if this is the Nether Spirit Blood."

"But when passing by, I saw this blue glowing blood flowing from the seven orifices of the two Nether Fire Crows, so I collected it."

"Bleeding from the seven orifices... the brain, indeed, it is the Nether Spirit Blood."

Wan Chengzhi casually tossed it back to Zhang Shaoyang, "Brother Chen is fortunate; you should hold onto this."

Zhang Shaoyang said, "Brother Wan, these five Nether Fire Crows were killed by the joint effort of the three of us. How about we split it?"

Wan Chengzhi shook his head, "I don’t need it; with Uncle Ming here, I will eventually get my share of Nether Spirit Blood."

As the nephew of Wan Tianming of Jiulian Mountain, Wan Chengzhi’s wealth was also considerable in the region.

Though precious, he didn’t prioritize the Nether Spirit Blood.

Now, as they were about to enter the Nether Abyss Trial, they should band together with like-minded individuals to explore.

Otherwise, even with his strong individual strength, the Nether Abyss would still be quite dangerous.

The presence of Zhang Shaoyang, despite his low cultivation, who subtly excelled in Thunder Skills and had special means to destroy Nether Fire Crows, intrigued him.

Chen Man suddenly smiled, "If Brother Zhang feels uneasy, then perhaps after selling the Nether Spirit Blood, share some Spirit Stones with Brother Wan and me."

"A tael of Nether Spirit Blood can fetch the price of a hundred Spirit Stones in the Nether Abyss, or even more elsewhere."

"Brother Zhang has at least seven or eight taels in this bottle... quite the fortune!"

Zhang Shaoyang’s heart stirred, knowing these two were showing goodwill, he immediately thanked, "Thank you, Brother Wan, Junior Sister Chen."

"I also need this Nether Spirit Blood, but I can give five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones as a share; I hope you don’t mind."

Wan Chengzhi knew he couldn’t decline further and nodded, "Alright!"

"Looks like Brother Zhang plans to refine Nether Spirit Pill. Once we return to Nether Abyss City, I can introduce..."

"Do you have Nether Spirit Blood?!"

Suddenly a cold voice came, the three quickly turned, seeing Guiyun Wanderer flying over from afar, covered in blood.

His eyes fixated intensely on Zhang Shaoyang.

"I want this item; name your price!"
