Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2099: Escape
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
"Scoundrel!"
The six-winged angel was incensed upon watching Ye Haochuan slip away, letting out a furious roar and charging forward.
Ye Haochuan's speed was indeed a significant issue; even with his full exertion, he was slower than Cody, a mere four-winged angel, and drastically outpaced by a six-winged celestial being.
It was estimated that he would be captured within a single breath, and the consequences were all too predictable.
A wave of desperation washed over Ye Haochuan as he frantically rummaged through his mind, desperately seeking a way to unleash his hidden potential for escape.
In the very next moment, he abruptly halted.
"Damn it, how could I forget about that thing?"
A surge of joy coursed through him as he quickly retrieved the item from his spatial ring.
It was a spherical object, about the size it would take for a person to wrap their arms around, a gift from Yan Meng’s father.
While he didn't know its exact designation, he surmised it must be potent, given its purpose for flight within the rules-bound Immortal Realm.
Wasting no time, Ye Haochuan swiftly pricked his finger, allowing a single drop of blood to fall upon the object.
The essence of his blood quickly bonded with the orb, and he received a flicker of information in response.
"Heaven Escape Bead? This is clearly a ball; whoever named it a bead must be blind!"
Ye Haochuan let out a soft sigh, his expression visibly easing.
Although the specifications for the Heaven Escape Bead did not explicitly state its magical treasure rank, he held a strong intuition that it would undoubtedly facilitate his escape.
"Perish!" Just as Ye Haochuan finalized the blood recognition with the Heaven Escape Bead, the six-winged angel and Cody closed in almost simultaneously.
Both launched their attacks, determined to leave Ye Haochuan with absolutely no avenue for escape.
However, at that critical juncture, Ye Haochuan plunged into the golden orb, which then rocketed away like a projectile, rapidly diminishing in size until it vanished from their sight.
"So incredibly swift!" Everyone present was utterly astonished.
Even the formidable six-winged angel completely lost the resolve to pursue.
"How does this brat possess such a formidable magical treasure? Could it have been acquired from the Yin Yang Marsh?" Cody mused with bewilderment.
He was certain that Ye Haochuan had not possessed this artifact earlier; otherwise, they would not have found themselves pursuing him to this location.
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Haochuan had, in fact, completely forgotten about the item. Shortly after Yan Meng had given it to him, he was abruptly transported into this world, leading to many things being overlooked.
The six-winged angel regained his composure from the shock, his expression darkening considerably. Allowing himself to be outmaneuvered by a mere cultivator in the Early Stage of Immortal Transformation was an immense humiliation.
Noticing this, Cody hastily offered words of consolation, "Lord Cass, it is not your fault; it is merely that fellow's magical treasure that is excessively powerful!"
With an excuse readily available, the six-winged angel's complexion improved slightly, and he stated coldly, "Ultimately, this individual managed to escape; it appears that Lord Divine Ancestor's prophecy is truly on the verge of fulfillment!"
Cody's brow furrowed slightly as he replied, "That will not come to pass; he is merely a youth in the Early Stage of Immortal Transformation. Even with a flying magic artifact, he cannot possibly fly out of the Tianxi World; as long as he remains within the Tianxi World, he shall not escape our vigilance!"
The six-winged angel, Cass, seemed to recognize his own over-pessimism and abruptly resolved himself, issuing a command, "Inform everyone in the Divine Church and the Dark Church; we must spare no effort in locating this individual, regardless of the cost, he must be eliminated!"
An angel acknowledged the directive, drawing forth a crystal orb and commencing communication with others.
Concurrently, the majority of the other angels followed Cass, soaring towards the direction Ye Haochuan had fled.
Due to the weight of the prophecy, they could not afford to be at ease with Ye Haochuan's continued existence.
Ye Haochuan, unaware of any prophecy, simply believed these angels were idle and seeking trouble by pursuing him.
Fortunately, the Heaven Escape Bead possessed incredible speed, instantly transporting him from the Ghost Gate Pass back to the brightly lit main thoroughfare.
"Once I return to the Immortal Realm, I must properly thank Yan Meng’s father; giving such a valuable item to me without proper foresight would be truly unreasonable!" Ye Haochuan mused with a grin.
As he spoke, the Heaven Escape Bead had already covered an immeasurable distance.
Seeing that he was finally out of immediate danger, Ye Haochuan brought his flight to a halt.
While the Heaven Escape Bead was exceptionally fast, it continuously drained his Flower Energy.
Having just emerged from a fierce confrontation, both his spiritual energy and Flower Energy were severely depleted; without timely replenishment, he would be unable to sustain flight for much longer.
He located a secluded forest, concealing himself within its depths.
Lacking the knowledge to erect a proper vigilance array, Ye Haochuan sat in a cross-legged position, ingested two Infant Energy Condensation Pills, and swiftly began replenishing his depleted spiritual energy and Flower Energy.
Approximately half an hour later, he slowly opened his eyes, murmuring with a sigh, "Alas, still lacking the opportune moment!"
Having acquired the Taichi Puzzle, Ye Haochuan's Flower Energy underwent a further transformation, and he sensed the potential to achieve a breakthrough to the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage.
Regrettably, despite his strenuous efforts, his attempt ultimately proved unsuccessful.
Roar~
Just as he was preparing to gather his belongings and resume his flight toward Heart of the Earth Island, a mournful cry from a Demon Beast abruptly reached his ears.
Normally, the roars of Demon Beasts serve to identify their species but do not pinpoint their exact location.
However, within Ye Haochuan's heart, a peculiar sensation stirred; the sound felt intimately familiar to him.
He carefully masked his aura and stealthily moved in the direction from which the cry originated.
Before long, a towering, ferocious beast materialized within his field of vision.
It was a Kirin Beast, its form exuding an elegant, snow-white majesty.
Yet, the Kirin was gravely wounded, its body drenched in blood. It struggled to maintain its footing, collapsing helplessly with only its mournful cries remaining.
At this critical juncture, two cultivators clad in white, their illusory wings shimmering, descended from the sky. Upon spotting the Kirin, their faces lit up with sinister delight, and they jeered, "Run, go ahead and run?"
The two cultivators landed beside the injured Kirin, their eyes gleaming with avarice.
The Kirin, filled with panic, stumbled but ultimately could not muster the strength to move another step, collapsing heavily onto the ground.
"Damn it, you made us waste so much time, you bastard!" the cultivator dressed in yellow snarled in anger, delivering several kicks to the Kirin.
The cultivator in black quickly intervened, restraining his companion. "Okay, okay, don't kill it! We can't afford to jeopardize the boss's plan!"
The mention of the boss seemed to elicit some restraint from the yellow-clothed cultivator, who huffed, "Once the boss's business is concluded, we'll see how I deal with you!"
With that, the duo produced a large net and cast it towards the beleaguered Kirin.
In that precise moment, the yellow-clothed cultivator suddenly experienced a sharp pain at his neck.
Initially, he assumed he had merely been brushed by someone and instinctively reached up to investigate.
However, before his hand could reach his neck, he felt a warm, viscous fluid spray onto him, and his strength began to ebb away rapidly.
"How..." His utterance was cut short as all his strength deserted him, and he slumped lifelessly to the ground.
