Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2552: Damn, That's Despicable!
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
The figure standing behind Jin Xing was undoubtedly Shentu Fu.
Just now, Jin Xing’s attention was entirely focused on Ye Haochuan, completely unaware that a ghostly figure had already quietly followed behind him and severely injured him in one move.
From this, it can also be seen that Jin Xing’s combat experience is indeed extremely lacking.
After Shentu Fu’s successful strike, he immediately followed up, slashing with the longsword, preparing to split Jin Xing’s neck in two.
“Stop!”
The Medicine King’s apparition suddenly commanded to stop.
Shentu Fu stopped in confusion and looked at Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan gently shook his head, also signaling him to stop.
Apparently, Ye Haochuan had long anticipated such an event.
It’s not hard to see from earlier that the Medicine King truly regarded Jin Xing as his own son.
No matter how many mistakes a son makes, as a father, it’s always hard to kill the son.
Shentu Fu was somewhat bewildered, but he still complied with Ye Haochuan’s will, refraining from delivering the killing blow and simply made Jin Xing faint through some means.
“Let’s go!”
Ye Haochuan didn’t want to waste too much time on Jin Xing. The Medicine King couldn’t bear to kill him, but Ye Haochuan used Ma Yi’s name to steal all the medicinal materials from Netherworld Mountain.
The people from the Temple couldn’t hold the Ghostfire Pill Saint accountable, but for Jin Xing, they certainly wouldn’t be so lenient.
Moreover, the Jade Token for Ma Yi’s entry into Netherworld Mountain was arranged by Jin Xing, so this matter, no matter what, was inextricably linked to Jin Xing.
Even though they did not kill Jin Xing, he would die at the hands of the Temple anyway, so Ye Haochuan didn’t have any regrets.
Boom~
A sudden earthquake startled Ye Haochuan and Shentu Fu.
“What’s going on?” Ye Haochuan was somewhat puzzled.
Shentu Fu frowned and speculated, “Maybe the extraordinary treasure on the mountaintop has matured!”
“The extraordinary treasure on the mountaintop?”
Ye Haochuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, remembering what Shentu Fu had told him about the extraordinary treasure before they entered.
“I wonder what kind of extraordinary treasure could cause such a large tremor?”
Curious, Ye Haochuan hastily activated the second level of his Heavenly Eye, instantly taking in the entire scene atop the towering mountain.
On the mountaintop, in the hundred-zhang-wide Netherworld Lake, a small girl, carved like jade, was swimming merrily.
For some reason, the Netherworld Water, which could instantly dissolve a cultivator’s bones and flesh, did not harm this little girl in the slightest.
On the lakeshore stood an elderly man in Qingshan, calmly watching the girl in the lake.
From other sides, four or five cultivators with impressive cultivation skills surrounded the girl, each employing their own methods, preparing to subdue her.
However, the girl, who appeared harmless, wielded immense power.
Soon, she danced and twirled in the water, and countless Netherworld Water Arrows shot out of the lake, converging like a shower to envelop the five cultivators.
The Flower Energy within these Water Arrows might not seem horrifying, but the Netherworld Water itself had extremely strong corrosive properties. A Protective Shield summoned by a cultivator was quickly corroded, resulting in a hole through his abdomen.
The Water Arrows then entered his abdomen, expanding the hole.
With a heartrending scream, this mid-level God Lord of a cultivator was reduced to dust.
The remaining four barely survived, but they were in a dreadful state, with two grazed on their arms and another on his thigh by the Netherworld Arrows.
If they hadn’t swiftly severed their limbs, they might have ended up like their comrade.
Terrified, they retreated hastily, no longer daring to fight.
The elderly man in Qingshan appeared somewhat displeased, seemingly regarding his subordinates as ineffective.
He stomped his foot, and like an arrow leaving the bowstring, he shot toward the girl.
The girl employed the same trick, unleashing countless Netherworld Water Arrows again.
But the old man in Qingshan was like a nimble snake, weaving through the Water Arrows at lightning speed, none of which touched him.
In almost a blink, the old man in Qingshan closed in on the girl.
He made a grabbing motion in the air, and an invisible large hand snared the girl, tugging upward.
At that moment, a giant python made of Netherworld Water rose from the surface, gaping its bloody maw at the old man in Qingshan.
The old man’s expression changed, and he quickly released the girl, retreating speedily.
Relentlessly, the Netherworld Giant Python pursued, intent on swallowing the old man in Qingshan whole.
However, the old man in Qingshan was not afraid, summoning a Flying Sword to engage in a fierce battle with the Netherworld Giant Python.
The fight was perilous, the two evenly matched, unable to gain an advantage over each other in a short time.
Ye Haochuan dared not use the Heavenly Eye to observe further, for if discovered, he’d be in deep trouble.
Even so, he would not simply give up. The little girl was clearly the extraordinary treasure Shentu Fu mentioned.
Having taken human form and wielding such power, she was clearly no ordinary treasure, and obtaining her would undoubtedly be a great fortune.
“I want to go up and have a look, maybe I can play the opportunist!”
Ye Haochuan recounted the situation atop the mountain to Shentu Fu, chuckling.
“Have you gone mad? Do you know who that old man in Qingshan is?”
Shentu Fu was immediately anxious.
“Do you know who it is?” Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
Without the Heavenly Eye, Shentu Fu only had Ye Haochuan’s description of the man’s appearance; how could he easily identify the man?
However, Shentu Fu speculated with confidence, “With such power, it could only be the likes of the Temple’s three saints and eight Palace Venerables. Among them, the only one likely to be involved with Netherworld Mountain’s Supreme Treasure is the Ghostfire Pill Saint!”
Ye Haochuan suddenly remembered that Jin Xing had mentioned needing to break through quickly to help the Ghostfire Pill Saint accomplish a significant task.
Could it be that the major task Jin Xing referred to was the little girl?
“So what if it’s the Ghostfire Pill Saint? From what I see, he’s entangled with the Netherworld Python, too busy to pay attention to me!”
Ye Haochuan declared resolutely, “Besides, I won’t foolishly try to snatch it. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll seize it without hesitation, but if not, I’ll escape at the first sign of danger. After all, no treasure is worth more than my life!”
Shentu Fu fell silent, contemplating before finally agreeing, “Alright, they say fortune favors the bold. There might indeed be an opportunity. But remember, at the slightest sign of danger, escape immediately!”
“Don’t worry, I treasure my life more than anything else!”
Ye Haochuan chuckled, quietly leaving the cave and heading toward the summit.
At that time, everyone on Netherworld Mountain felt the tremors from the summit, prompting many to ascend to investigate. Thus, Ye Haochuan’s actions did not appear conspicuous.
Soon, the top of Netherworld Mountain was surrounded by many layers of people.
The battle was intense, neither side could dominate the other easily.
However, as time passed, the Ghostfire Pill Saint, clad in Qingshan, gradually fell to a disadvantage.
The Netherworld Python, anchored in Netherworld Lake, seemed to have endless power, growing fiercer as the fight continued.
Ye Haochuan was nearly certain that the Ghostfire Pill Saint wouldn’t succeed, and his aspiration of being the opportunist was clearly dashed.
But just then, the Ghostfire Pill Saint glanced at the unsuspecting crowd hovering nearby, a trace of Malevolent Qi flashed in his eyes.
He made a grabbing motion, and the surrounding crowd felt an irresistible force pulling them toward the Netherworld Python.
“Damn, how despicable!”
Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly, yet he couldn’t stop himself from being drawn toward the Netherworld Python.
