Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2492: Is It Really Necessary to Make Such a Fuss?
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
"Damn it, are these people crazy? We’re already so close to White Tiger City, and they’re still chasing?"
Xu Wenrui cursed loudly as he fled rapidly, scrambling to pick up his speed again.
But it was all in vain. The long desperate sprint had drained his Flower Energy significantly, especially since he was already carrying injuries, making the depletion even more severe.
White Tiger City was just within reach, yet he despairingly realized he might not make it inside, as those chasing him had closed in.
"Kill him! Whatever it takes, he must not be allowed to return to White Tiger City!"
The two pursuers behind him abandoned their plan to capture Xu Wenrui alive and shot two crimson beams towards his back.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Wenrui summoned a treasure cauldron to block those two red rays.
However, the defensive magical treasure, best among his possessions, shattered on the spot with a bang.
The two red beams didn’t lose their momentum, threatening to engulf him.
"Damn it, am I really not making it out?"
Xu Wenrui clenched his jaws, his eyes filled with blood streaks.
Roar~
A white tiger apparition suddenly sprang from his body, charging towards the two red beams.
"Sanhu, no!"
Xu Wenrui’s eyes brimmed with tears, desperate to stop it.
But it was clearly too late; the white tiger apparition had already collided with the first beam, its body pierced.
With a mournful cry, the white tiger stared resolutely at the second red beam.
Unable to bear watching, Xu Wenrui tightly shut his eyes as tears streamed continuously.
Boom~
The impact sound he dreaded arrived right in Xu Wenrui’s ears.
Xu Wenrui was completely in tears, unwilling to face the scene of his long-grown companion parting from him.
"What’s a big man doing, crying like a baby?"
A mocking voice called out, causing Xu Wenrui to startle, the voice strikingly familiar.
Quickly opening his eyes, he found someone standing before him, while not far away, the white tiger apparition hadn’t vanished.
"Ye Haochuan, why are you here?" Xu Wenrui asked in surprise.
"I came specifically to rescue you!" Ye Haochuan replied, smirking.
Though surprised to meet Xu Wenrui here, considering his surname Xu, it wasn’t hard to guess his connection to the Xu family.
Back when Xu Wenrui appeared at the Myriad Realms Mansion, even the Prefectural Governor wouldn’t dare provoke him. Such an identity naturally made sense.
"Rescue me?"
Suddenly realizing he was still being chased, Xu Wenrui’s expression changed dramatically, urgently saying, "Fool, they are extremely powerful, leave now, otherwise you’ll die with me!"
"Extremely powerful? Are you talking about those two lumps of meat?"
Ye Haochuan smiled mischievously, shifting slightly, revealing two pools of blood and flesh to Xu Wenrui.
"This... How can it be?"
Xu Wenrui’s eyes almost jumped out.
After a long pause, incredulously looking at Ye Haochuan, he asked, "You did all this? Impossible, you’re clearly just in the Void God Early Stage..."
"Just two Void God Late Stage fellows, no need for such alarm, right?"
Ye Haochuan chuckled lightly.
He wasn’t bluffing; with his current strength, handling Void God Peak cultivators was like child’s play, so Void God Late Stage was nothing significant.
Hiss~
Xu Wenrui inhaled sharply, watching Ye Haochuan with an astonished gaze.
Had he not personally experienced this, if anyone told him a Void God Early Stage cultivator could defeat Void God Late Stage experts, he would surely think that person full of nonsense.
Yet faced with the undeniable reality, he couldn’t help but believe.
Moreover, the two opponents had been slain in the blink of an eye, indicating they couldn’t withstand Ye Haochuan even for an instant.
Slaying two Void God Late Stage opponents in one strike reflected immense true strength.
Once again, Xu Wenrui felt the sting of inadequacy.
When Ye Haochuan rescued him from Mushan County, his self-proclaimed genius pride had already suffered under Ye Haochuan’s prowess.
Determined, he returned to his family, strove to rapidly improve his cultivation, just so he could outperform Ye Haochuan the next time they met.
Over the years he had advanced swiftly, moving from the Immortal Transformation Realm to Void God Mid-Stage.
This rapid progress inflated his confidence, believing himself on par with Xu Xiuyuan, the Xu family’s prodigy, and effortlessly surpassing Ye Haochuan.
Until encountering Ye Haochuan again today, realizing he’d been utterly deluded.
His perceived advancements not only failed to surpass Ye Haochuan but widened the gap further.
Initially, they were fairly close, but now a vast disparity spanned between them.
"Are you even human? You totally leave no room for survival!"
Faced with the truth, Xu Wenrui couldn’t maintain composure, swearing aloud.
Poor Ye Haochuan, unaware of Xu Wenrui’s thoughts, was at a loss for words.
Xu Wenrui refrained from elaborating; such embarrassing pursuits and failures were best left unsaid.
"By the way, why were they chasing you?"
Ye Haochuan shifted the topic.
"Wasn’t it for the Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice!"
Xu Wenrui replied resentfully, "I barely found a piece, only to be discovered by those two! If not for your timely arrival, I’d be a goner!"
"Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice? Did someone suffer yan injury?" Ye Haochuan speculated.
Being a medicinal cultivator, Ye Haochuan knew the potency of Abyss Ice.
"A prominent figure in the Xu family!"
Xu Wenrui wasn’t surprised by Ye Haochuan’s knowledge but couldn’t disclose too much, as it involved Xu family secrets.
Ye Haochuan sensed his reservation, pointing at the blood pools and inquiring, "What’s the background of these two, daring to snatch from your Xu family?"
"Temple-affiliated men perhaps!"
Xu Wenrui casually responded but quickly corrected saying, "Better not pry into this, offending the Temple won’t benefit you."
The Temple? I’ve offended them plenty already!
Ye Haochuan remained indifferent.
Not only had he offended them, but he’d stirred trouble at the South Sect, yet lived unscathed.
Nevertheless, Ye Haochuan didn’t intend to widely broadcast this episode.
Given the relations between Half-Mountain Residence and the Xu family, it probably wasn’t all open and forthcoming.
"Come on, let’s head back! Hurry, or this tiger will be in distress!"
Ye Haochuan glanced at the weakened white tiger apparition, cautioning.
Fortunately, he intervened promptly, shielding the tiger from the second crimson beam, yet the first beam inflicting serious harm.
Aroused, Xu Wenrui retrieved the white tiger hastily and sped towards White Tiger City.
"White Tiger Residence, Xu family, they might be quite intriguing!"
Reflecting on the white tiger, Ye Haochuan murmured.
