Xuu Qian puts the shovel into the Qiankun Bag.
He glanced at the temple behind Qin Chen and said, "Brother, are you thinking of going inside?"
"What are you trying to say?" Qin Chen asked.
Xuu Qian chuckled, "Donât be so wary of me. I mean no harm. Since itâs fate that weâve met, why donât we collaborate this once?"
"There are quite a few Plant Demons inside the temple. How about this: Iâll go in first and help contain them, then you extract that Daoist Inheritance Stone, and weâll study its Daoist Method together."
"You know quite a bit, recognizing that Ancient Stone as a Daoist Inheritance Stone," Qin Chen remarked.
Xuu Qian replied, "I read a lot, so I know a little bit of everything. How about it, brother? Do you agree with my plan?"
"There are many Plant Demons in the temple, and trying to kill them all before focusing on understanding the Daoist Method is very taxing and unnecessary."
Just hearing it like this.
This plan seems quite good.
Xuu Qian goes in first, experiencing any danger before Qin Chen.
Qin Chenâs task is merely to remove the Daoist Inheritance Stone, which is far simpler compared to Xuu Qianâs task.
He glanced at Xuu Qian and then laughed, "Alright."
Xuu Qian laughed, "Great, then Iâll go in now. Brother, remember to be quick, okay? If those Plant Demons entangle you, it will be troublesome."
Qin Chen nodded with a smile.
Xuu Qian immediately rushed into the temple.
"Whiz, whiz, whizâ"
No surprises there.
The moment he stepped into the temple, Plant Demons lining the walls madly extended their tendrils, or vines, to wrap around him.
"Brother, hurry!"
Xuu Qian shouted as he brandished a Round Shield to protect himself.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The Plant Demonsâ tendrils hit the Round Shield, producing a sound like frying beans.
Small Movement Technique!
With one move, Qin Chen was before the Daoist Inheritance Stone.
He wrapped his hands around the Daoist Inheritance Stone and lifted it abruptly, only to find it wouldnât move.
Extremely heavy.
Heavier than a valley.
"Boom."
Meanwhile.
The Daoist Inheritance from the Daoist Inheritance Stone entered Qin Chenâs mind.
This was a First-grade Daoist Method, called "Heavenly Dao Divine Palm."
With his strong comprehension ability, Qin Chen instantly completed the Daoist Inheritance.
"Brother, hurry up!"
Seeing Qin Chen motionless with his arms around the Daoist Inheritance Stone, Xuu Qian shouted.
"Whiz!"
Suddenly, whether intentionally or not.
A burst of Elemental Power shot from Xuu Qianâs side, not towards Qin Chen, but directly at the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha before the Daoist Inheritance Stone.
"Clang!"
A dull sound as dust flew off the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha.
Qin Chenâs pupils suddenly shrank!
He saw the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha move!!!
Initially, he thought it was an illusion.
Once the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha took a step forward, Qin Chen realized it wasnât an illusion at all.
This Eight-Handed Copper Buddha wasnât a statue!
Qin Chen had suspected initially.
And now, this Eight-Handed Copper Buddha was activated by Xuu Qianâs burst of Elemental Power.
"Oh my god, this statue is alive? Brother, forget about me; you need to run! The further, the better!"
Xuu Qian exclaimed, still desperately fighting the Plant Demons.
Qin Chen stepped forward.
The Eight-Handed Copper Buddha moved just after Qin Chen.
If Qin Chen were to really run, the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha would be led from the temple.
Qin Chen suddenly understood!
He looked at Xuu Qian.
This guy clearly wasnât sincere.
He pretended to cooperate, even risking danger himself, handing the easiest task to him.
But in fact.
His main goal was to make Qin Chen lure away the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha!
The burst of Elemental Power hit the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha intentionally.
Definitely intentional!
This way, once Xuu Qian dealt with the Plant Demons, he could easily obtain the Daoist Method from the Daoist Inheritance Stone.
There are many Plant Demons, true.
But theyâre not too hard to handle; theyâre not strong.
The plan was well thought out!
"Brother, run! Run!"
Xuu Qian kept shouting, but internally, seeing the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha targeting Qin Chen, he was thrilled.
In fact.
Heâd been in the temple just before.
Accidentally woke the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha, but his reaction was quick; he ran as soon as it awoke.
Was strategizing until suddenly someone showed up, leading to the current scene.
Hearing Xuu Qianâs angry shouts, Qin Chen couldnât help but find it amusing.
This guy is definitely a master actor.
Since thatâs the case, Qin Chen decided to play along.
Besides, he had already obtained the Daoist Method in the Daoist Inheritance Stone!
The stone itself was irrelevant to him.
He rushed toward Xuu Qian, shouting, "Brother! I canât go! If I leave, what will happen to you? Iâll help you deal with these Plant Demons; you run!"
He dashed toward Xuu Qian, drawing the Eight-Handed Copper Buddhaâs attention.
The whole temple shook.
The Eight-Handed Copper Buddhaâs eight hands reached out toward Qin Chen and Xuu Qian simultaneously.
"What the heck!"
Xuu Qian was stunned!
Judging by Qin Chenâs tragic expression, he didnât realize Qin Chen had seen through his plan; he thought Qin Chen was genuinely being considerate of him.
He was frantic!
Terrified of the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha, he felt trapped when it moved towards him.
Xuu Qian shouted, "Brother, itâs fine; meeting you is fate. You need to run; leave it to me! Hurry!"
Qin Chen summoned the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, blocking the Eight-Handed Copper Buddhaâs hand with a crisp sound.
He also shouted, "No! How can I leave? I wonât! You run!"
Xuu Qian nearly cursed aloud!
Seeing the Eight-Handed Copper Buddha approaching, he silently cursed, his figure flickering as he finally escaped.
What else could he do at this point?
He had to go!
If not, his life was at risk.
The next moment, his frustration peaked.
As soon as he left.
Qin Chen caught up with him, face full of sympathy: "Brother, letâs go together!"
"Screw you!"
Xuu Qian glanced at Qin Chen, understanding at last.
This guy mustâve seen through his scheme and was performing here.
"Keep acting."
Xuu Qian said coldly.
He no longer had the energy to play along with Qin Chen.
Using a movement technique, he dashed away quickly.
Soon surpassing Qin Chen.
This way, Qin Chen was again left in a bad position.
Qin Chen smiled.
Racing him in speed?
Shadowless Traceless!
Small Movement Technique!
Qin Chenâs speed exceeded Lightning, passing Xuu Qian, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it!"
Xuu Qian cursed.
Life is too treacherous; I want back in the womb!
