Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 1670: Still a Step Too Late?
At the moment when these tornadoes dissipated, Little Lei’s aura suddenly withered. Just now, to increase speed, he had consumed a lot, even burning a considerable amount of Divine Beast Essential Blood. Now that the external threat was gone, his fatigue quickly became apparent.
Ye Haochuan hurriedly took out a bottle of Primordial Thunder Purple Bee Emperor Jelly and poured it into Little Lei’s mouth. The effect of consuming Primordial Thunder Purple Bee Emperor Jelly for the first time was quite good, allowing Little Lei’s aura to recover at an extremely fast pace.
However, even so, Ye Haochuan did not plan to wait for Little Lei to recover; he could not afford to waste even a moment now.
"Stay here, I will come back for you later!" He left these words and then swiftly left with a Great Yan Step.
"Wait, do you know where to go?" Fan Qingyin hastily called out.
This area is all desert, making it hard to discern directions. Moreover, Ye Haochuan was not heading in the direction they came from, leaving her to suspect whether Ye Haochuan had lost his mind and was choosing directions at random.
"I have a kind of sense that they’re in this direction, and they’re not very far!" Ye Haochuan explained without turning back.
Since earlier when he felt anxious and unsure, he discovered a subtle sense of connection in his heart. He didn’t know who this connection was linked to, but it was clear that this person was very important to him.
"I’ll go with you!" Fan Qingyin quickly stepped onto her Flying Sword and followed.
Regrettably, Ye Haochuan, at this moment, was so anxious and impatient that he didn’t wait for her and dashed off. Fan Qingyin chased after him with all her might, but the distance between them only widened.
Ye Haochuan flew in the direction of that sense for several minutes until familiar figures suddenly appeared in his Perspective Eyes.
However, when he clearly saw the scene before his eyes, he suddenly felt his head spin, feeling dazed.
The large-bodied Tie Girl lay motionless in the sand, her fate unclear. Jiang Shuying’s breath was weak; she was just staring hard at an infant not far away, tears streaming down her face.
And that infant, equally on the brink of death, was thrown onto the sand. The originally fair skin was covered in strands of crimson blood streaks.
As for the woman dressed like a nun, she was sitting cross-legged with an expression of excitement, regulating her breath. Judging by the surging Spiritual Energy within her, clearly, her cultivation was rapidly improving.
"Was I ultimately a step too late?" Ye Haochuan felt a pain in his heart, unbearable as if countless sharp knives were simultaneously cutting thousands of bloody holes.
"Bastard, I’m going to kill you!" The brief pain all transformed into hatred, making him charge at the Old Nun recklessly.
"Sword Across the Universe!"
Ye Haochuan turned into a golden giant dragon, roaring towards the Old Nun.
The Old Nun’s face showed no trace of panic; she slowly opened her eyes, then gently pointed with her right index finger, and the golden giant dragon, as if met with an unprecedented impact, scattered into countless stars, disappearing into the void.
And Ye Haochuan himself, like a disconnected kite, was thrown away.
Indeed, Ye Haochuan had let his anger cloud his thoughts and failed to realize that the Old Nun’s cultivation was much higher than his. It wasn’t just him; even Yang Sen and Ye Hao feared not as powerful as this Old Nun.
This Old Nun had cultivated for hundreds of years; if not for a barrier preventing her breakthrough, she would have achieved Immortal Transformation long ago. At this time, she had successfully seized the infant’s Mysterious Body, becoming a once-in-ten-thousand-years Heavenly Mandate Mysterious Body.
For a cultivator with a Heavenly Mandate Mysterious Body, that barrier essentially didn’t exist anymore. So at this moment, her cultivation had already surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm, reaching a Half-Step Immortal.
"Oh? So you’re the Ye Haochuan that Tie Shu always keeps in mind?" Although Ye Haochuan’s appearance was fading with age, the Old Nun recognized him at first glance.
"What a pity, you still came a step too late and missed witnessing how your child helped me become immortal. But it’s not too late; you can at least see the two of them one last time! Haha!"
After taking a hit, the injuries already within Ye Haochuan were triggered, his internal organs in chaos, blood overflowing.
Upon hearing the Old Nun’s words, he couldn’t help but glance at the infant again, realizing that the sense of connection he felt was not with Jiang Shuying or anyone else, but with this child.
"My child?" Ye Haochuan’s emotions were very complicated.
He had initially thought that Jiang Shuying’s child might not be his because the timing of their relationship didn’t match the child’s birth.
But now, with that trace of connection, he didn’t need any verification to be completely sure that this child was indeed his own flesh and blood.
Ye Haochuan had many women, but this child was his first. He had thought his first child would be the one Zhao Ruqian was carrying, but apparently, this was his first child.
Becoming a father for the first time should have been a joyous occasion. But facing such events, Ye Haochuan felt only unspeakable pain and remorse.
"Master, save... save our... child!" Jiang Shuying saw Ye Haochuan too, a glimmer of hope floating in her eyes, she weakly pleaded.
"I’m sorry, I was late, I’m so sorry!" Tears had long covered Ye Haochuan’s cheeks as he apologetically spoke.
He struggled to stand but did not attack the Old Nun again; instead, he carefully picked up the infant and quickly went to Jiang Shuying’s side to examine them both.
He desperately wanted to fight the Old Nun now, but Jiang Shuying’s words sobered him up a lot.
He knew that what he needed to do most was to save Jiang Shuying and their child; otherwise, even if he successfully killed the Old Nun, he would regret it for life.
The Old Nun did not stop his action. For one, she believed Ye Haochuan posed no significant threat to her, and for another, she was at a critical breakthrough moment, unable to be interrupted.
The more Ye Haochuan examined, the colder his heart became, and his murderous intent towards the Old Nun grew stronger.
This old bastard had used some secret technique during Jiang Shuying’s childbirth, injecting all her Original Vital Essence Qi and Vitality into the child. When she seized the child’s physique, she absorbed all the Original Vital Essence Qi and Vitality into her own body.
Vitality was still manageable; Ye Haochuan’s Primordial Thunder Purple Bee Emperor Jelly could restore it. But as for Original Vital Essence Qi, he had no means of replenishment.
If Vitality is the energy that sustains a person, then Original Vital Essence Qi is the bridge that converts that energy into survival energy. Without this bridge, there could be no connection between Vitality and the body.
One could say that this Original Vital Essence Qi is the root of a person. The consumption of Vitality could be supplemented by external means, but this Original Vital Essence Qi is unique to each individual and cannot be supplemented by others.
Because of this reason, no one dares to have ideas about the Original Vital Essence Qi. This Old Nun, using such sinister means, clearly intended to leave Jiang Shuying and her child incurable.
Ye Haochuan’s gaze towards the Old Nun was full of hatred and murderous intent.
