Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 1657: Excessive Depletion
Little Lei has evolved into the Divine Beast Suan Ni; the golden phantom wings beneath his ribs are, naturally, not ordinary things. With each flap, they soared far away.
However, Gu Ran, being a super expert at the Nascent Soul Peak, was not lacking in means.
Seeing Gu Ran’s figure getting closer and closer made Ye Haochuan frown, prompting Little Lei to speed up once more.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the edge of the small town, where a transparent barrier blocked their path.
Ye Haochuan quickly took out the Barrier Penetrating Bead, hoping to open the barrier. But the barrier remained unmoved, showing no sign of opening.
"Stop struggling, I have already closed the barrier, surrender obediently!" Gu Ran had caught up and said coldly.
He was not rushing to capture Ye Haochuan and the others; he was still thinking about how to deal with them to avenge his son.
This barrier in front of him, even he couldn’t break. He had no worries about this group, the strongest of whom were only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
But in the next moment, his expression changed.
Fan Qingyin’s Green Feather Sword quickly thrust out, and the barrier, as if made of tofu, was pierced through.
Ye Haochuan and Fan Qingyin were already accustomed to this; not to mention Gu Tao’s barrier, even the Heaven Imprisonment Stone barrier that trapped Yang Sen and Ye Hao was extremely fragile before the Green Feather Sword.
No matter how powerful this barrier was, how could it compare to the Immortal Instrument Level Heaven Imprisonment Stone?
With a couple of "crack" sounds, the cracks on the barrier rapidly spread like a spiderweb, and with a "snap," it shattered into pieces.
This barrier was originally part of the Spirit Gathering Array; once broken, the white formation foundation of the few Spirit Gathering Beads also instantly fractured.
The vast Spiritual Energy gathered in the small town, like prisoners released from a cell, quickly dispersed.
In fact, this Spiritual Energy was forcefully taken from the surrounding environment; now returning to the surroundings, it was going back to where it belonged.
But for the Gu Family, the dispersal of Spiritual Energy was a tremendous loss. The Spirit Gathering Array was left by their ancient ancestors, and they had no way to repair it. In this way, the Gu Family’s foundation was virtually destroyed.
"Damn bastards, I want to tear you to pieces!" Gu Ran roared in rage, his eyes almost bleeding red.
He couldn’t accept that his action of closing the barrier to trap a few people would bring such destruction to the Gu Family.
In his mind now, apart from anger, there was no other emotion. As targets of his fury, Ye Haochuan and the others must be crushed to appease his wrath.
"Die!" Gu Ran roared loudly, unleashing a shocking force, sending Ye Haochuan and the others flying.
"So strong!" Ye Haochuan was alarmed and quickly used the gust to urge Little Lei to flee rapidly.
"It’s impossible, in front of him, we can’t escape at all!" Di Yan’s expression was extremely grim.
Little Lei’s speed was faster than any of their limits, but even then, compared to Gu Ran, it was far behind.
"We have no choice but to fight!" Fan Qingyin grit her teeth and said.
"No, even ten of us together can’t be his match!" Di Yan strongly opposed.
"It’s better than waiting to die!" Fan Qingyin snorted and then looked at Ye Haochuan, saying, "If we could form the Genius Seven Kills Formation, we might have a chance. But now, what else can we do besides fight desperately?"
Ye Haochuan’s brow had long furrowed into the character "川." He had no regrets about not bringing the Genius Seven along. After all, this time was indeed dangerous, and there was no need for them to risk it.
Moreover, even with Long Keyue’s support, the Genius Seven Kills Formation couldn’t make him barely match a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, even with Fan Qingyin.
"Die!" As the group pondered, Gu Ran had already caught up; reaching out his arm, a golden large hand suddenly appeared, grabbing at Ye Haochuan and the others.
"Damn it, fight to the end!" Ye Haochuan suddenly shouted, gathering all the Spiritual Energy around him into his eyes.
"Heavenly Eye, Sky-Burning!"
Ye Haochuan’s eyes had already turned from red eyes to blue pupils, and the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame instantly erupted on Gu Ran’s big hand.
"Hmph, so it’s the Ye Family’s kid, no wonder he’s so arrogant. But, unless Ye Hao himself comes, do you think your Heavenly Fire can harm me?" Gu Ran sneered coldly.
But in the next moment, his expression quickly changed.
His golden large hand, under the purple flame, disappeared as if made of paper.
"How is this possible? How can this flame be even stranger than Ye Hao’s fire?" Gu Ran was shocked, hastily trying to retract his hand.
But the fire spread uncontrollably, following the golden hand, quickly engulfing his entire body.
"Ah~"
Gu Ran cried out miserably, losing the imposing manner he had earlier, and fell awkwardly to the ground.
"Die!" Seeing the Flames of the Eyes taking effect, Ye Haochuan was overjoyed and quickly pressed the advantage.
Using the Flames of the Eyes against a Nascent Soul Peak expert, he was unsure. Last time, while battling Yang Yi, the Flames of the Eyes were effective. Yet, he couldn’t manage to capture Yang Yi, and it had substantially exhausted him.
Therefore, he hadn’t used the Flames of the Eyes immediately because he feared it might not succeed and deplete his strength, which would be dangerous.
Yet now it appeared, his gamble paid off this time.
With Ye Haochuan’s Spiritual Energy stimulation, the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame surged once again, burning Gu Ran into constant wailing.
Gu Ran’s spiritual techniques were quickly activated to protect crucial parts of his body, but he couldn’t extinguish the flames enveloping him.
A surge of excitement rose within Ye Haochuan. This was a super expert at the Nascent Soul Peak; if he could burn him to death, not to mention anything else, just the sense of achievement would be exhilarating.
Not only him, but Fan Qingyin and Yige were also clenching their fists tightly. They were both shocked at how Ye Haochuan possessed such a powerful technique and hoped that he could directly burn Gu Ran to death.
However, they soon noticed Ye Haochuan’s body starting to sway.
"Haochuan, what’s wrong?" Fan Qingyin asked with concern.
But just as she touched Ye Haochuan, he fell to the ground.
"Not good, he’s overexhausted, passed out!" Di Yan’s keen perception quickly identified Ye Haochuan’s issue.
The others immediately understood; the Flames of the Eyes’ power was immense, and naturally, it consumed a lot, leading to Ye Haochuan’s overexertion.
"Quick, we must leave, Gu Ran is about to recover!" Di Yan warned again.
Ye Haochuan’s cultivation was ultimately a bit lacking; the power of the Flames of the Eyes wasn’t overly defying the natural order. Moreover, Gu Ran was an existence even Pu Qinglao feared, his strength not much weaker than Yang Sen or Ye Hao, and not easily dealt with.
The others were suddenly startled, urging Little Lei to flee hastily.
