1760 A Blessing in Disguise

The lotus was comparable to a powerful vortex.

The Saint Qi in Zhang Ruochen's body rushed uncontrollably out of his pores and were consumed by the lotus flower.

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Ruochen unleashed his full strength, trying to break free from the vortex. Yet, the lotus' devouring force grew even stronger and basically held him down. He was unable to pull his fingers away.

A moment later, all of Zhang Ruochen's Saint Qi had been absorbed.

He thought that the lotus would stop there, but to Zhang Ruochen's despair, it did not. Instead, it began to absorb his blood, spiritual strength, Saint Soul, and Saint Precepts.

"I have survived so many life-and-death battles, I will not end up being nutrients... for a lotus flower, will I?"

Zhang Ruochen only felt a bone-chilling pain strike him, and even his iron will did not make the pain easier to bear. His body trembled, and a terrible scream was about to come out of his mouth.
