Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2105: The Might of the True Immortal Realm
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
Interrupting a sacrifice is an immensely difficult feat, and forcibly siphoning the sacrificer's Qi is even more so.
The very fact that the assailant managed this feat was testament to their formidable power.
Yet, Ye Haochuan, consumed by his burning rage, paid this no mind, his mind unable to achieve clarity.
He fixed his furious gaze upon the cloaked figure, eyes practically ablaze, and charged, unleashing the might of his Halberd of Heaven and Earth.
"Excellent timing!" The cloaked figure exclaimed, not with anger but with pleasure, emitting a soft snort. "Just in time to divest you of what wrongfully belongs to you and return it to its true owner!" This group had captured Yinfeng with a specific objective. With Yinfeng's self-inflicted sacrifice now complete, their final step had been thwarted, a failure that ignited his fury."Return to its rightful owner? You'll need to survive first for that to happen!"
Ye Haochuan retorted with a snort, his offensive with the Halberd of Heaven and Earth already in motion.
This time, the cloaked figure did not project arrogance; instead, he produced a slender iron rod.
The rod, no thicker than an index finger and barely two feet in length, resembled a drumstick.
Remarkably, the cloaked figure tapped the air with this thin rod, its tip landing with pinpoint accuracy upon the edge of the halberd.
From any observable perspective, this delicate iron rod ought to have been incapable of withstanding the overwhelming force of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth. However, the moment the halberd's edge met the rod's tip, an astonished silence fell over the onlookers.
The thin rod, appearing utterly still, absorbed the entire force of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth's devastating impact.
"Haha, a gap remains a gap. Even if your Cultivation advances a Boundary, it changes nothing!" The iron-bearded brute derisively cackled, seemingly mocking Ye Haochuan's misplaced confidence."Is that so?" Ye Haochuan's expression remained fierce as he coldly scoffed. "You shall soon discover if it can change anything!"
The assault had been effortlessly neutralized. Based on their initial exchange, Ye Haochuan appeared to be at a slight disadvantage.
However, as the one directly involved, Ye Haochuan perceived that blocking that powerful strike had not been as simple for the cloaked man as it had appeared.
The cloaked man's techniques seemed to rely on deflecting overwhelming force with skillful precision, his seemingly nonchalant movements nullifying his opponent's fierce onslaughts.
In truth, this elegant facade hid a considerable expenditure of effort; blocking those attacks was far from the effortless display it projected.
Furthermore, Ye Haochuan had distinctly observed a fluctuation in the cloaked man's aura during their last clash, a clear indication that he had exerted his full strength.
"You overestimate yourself!" The iron-bearded brute sneered, his contempt undisguised. In his estimation, Ye Haochuan was no match for the cloaked figure.Ye Haochuan ceased his verbal sparring, transforming the Halberd of Heaven and Earth into a rampaging dragon, unleashing a tempestuous barrage upon the cloaked man.
The cloaked man's defense was impenetrable, consistently intercepting Ye Haochuan's relentless attacks.
Yet, to any keen observer, it was evident that despite successfully blocking each strike, the prolonged engagement was placing increasing strain upon him.
Finally, Ye Haochuan exploited an opening; a halberd strike advanced, aiming directly for his opponent's heart.
The cloaked man visibly flinched and attempted a rapid retreat, but his evasive maneuver was outpaced by Ye Haochuan's superior speed, resulting in a chest wound.
This was the very individual whose presence had compelled Yinfeng's ultimate sacrifice, a profound grievance Ye Haochuan harbored. Thus, this thrust was delivered with lethal precision and intent, determined to fell the cloaked man in a single, decisive blow.
Just as Ye Haochuan anticipated the cloaked man's demise, the tip of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, having pierced the cloak, abruptly met resistance akin to metal or stone, utterly incapable of penetrating further, not even by a hair's breadth.
"Blast it, this cloak is actually a Defensive Magical Treasure!" Ye Haochuan couldn't help but curse inwardly.He should have recognized this sooner. Even his Heavenly Eye had been unable to discern the nature of the cloak, clearly indicating it was no ordinary artifact.
The cloaked man, having avoided immediate defeat, utilized the momentum from the halberd's impact to swiftly create distance from Ye Haochuan.
"A commendable youth, to think a mere elevation of one small Boundary could so significantly enhance your strength!" A hint of weariness tinged the cloaked man's deep voice.In the subsequent moment, his tone abruptly shifted to one of impatience as he barked at those nearby: "Why are you all standing there like fools? Can't you see I'm on the verge of defeat? Hurry and lend me your aid!"
The cloaked man evidently held no regard for a master's dignity, immediately calling for assistance the instant he found himself at a disadvantage.
The surrounding onlookers remained somewhat bewildered, their disbelief mounting at Ye Haochuan’s sheer power, making them question if they had strayed into an illusionary realm.
The cloaked man’s desperate cry jolted them back to reality. Hastily drawing their weapons, they surged towards Ye Haochuan, a palpable urgency in their eyes.
"Nine-Tailed Sword Qi!"
Without a second thought, Ye Haochuan unleashed the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. It wasn't that he doubted his ability to defeat these assailants with the Long Family Technique, but he prioritized eliminating the cloaked man without interference.
The Nine-Tailed Swords erupted from diverse angles, each homing in on a target, initiating a ferocious onslaught.
Meanwhile, Ye Haochuan himself, brandishing the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, charged once more at the cloaked figure.
It was evident the cloaked man had intended for his subordinates to bog Ye Haochuan down, creating an opportunity for his own escape. He hadn't anticipated Ye Haochuan's unwavering resolve to deny him any such chance. With no other recourse, he was compelled to continue his defense.
However, Ye Haochuan, post-breakthrough, proved overwhelmingly potent; the cloaked man could not withstand the assault. Within mere exchanges, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth had closed to striking distance numerous times. Had it not been for the cloak’s robust defensive capabilities, he would undoubtedly be lying dead on the ground by now.
Nevertheless, no matter the quality of the cloak, it was no Divine Artifact; enduring relentless attacks without consequence was impossible. He could distinctly feel the cloak’s defensive prowess diminishing.
"Old man, if you don’t show yourself soon, I’m genuinely going to be killed here!" A voice, akin to a young girl's plea, emanated once more from within the cloak.
"Damn it, trying that same trick again?" Ye Haochuan scoffed coldly, thrusting the Halberd of Heaven and Earth forward.
Instantly, the halberd resonated with the roars of dragons and the dance of thunder, its power appearing utterly indomitable, as if no obstacle could impede its path.
Ye Haochuan clearly had no desire to prolong the engagement with the cloaked man; this single strike was intended to claim his life.
At that precise moment, an icy gale swept in, performing a singular rotation around the Halberd of Heaven and Earth before rapidly dissipating.
Within that fleeting eddy, the formidable power Ye Haochuan had imbued into his Halberd of Heaven and Earth simply vanished into nothingness.
"How is this possible?" Ye Haochuan’s disbelief was profound. Since when had his full-powered strike become so utterly ineffective?
As his mind grappled with this enigma, a voice rapidly approached, moving from distant to near: "She's at least a girl, you know. Uttering phrases like 'I’m going to get screwed to death' is truly rather indecent, wouldn't you agree?"
Accompanying this voice were two figures, moving in close proximity.
A man and a woman; the woman appeared to possess a low level of Cultivation, resting quietly within the embrace of the middle-aged man. The man's strength, however, felt unfathomably profound, regardless of how one perceived it. Merely meeting his gaze for a few fleeting seconds instilled a nameless sense of pressure.
"So, this is the might of the True Immortal Realm?" A chill of apprehension involuntarily ran down Ye Haochuan’s spine.
While Ye Haochuan was assessing the formidable middle-aged man, the man also cast a glance at Ye Haochuan, inquiring in a deep voice, "You dared to inflict harm upon my daughter. Tell me, how do you wish to meet your end?"
