Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2363 - 2319: Crossing the Tercan Empire
Previously on Peach Blossom Divine Medical God...
"Ah ah ah ah... the, the Taoist Sect’s... Heavenly Thunder Talisman..." The Ghost Doctor’s eyes widened, filled with reluctance.
"Congratulations, you guessed right, your reward is to die in peace."
Chen Yang watched as the demonic qi enveloping the Ghost Doctor was being eradicated by the lightning of the Thunder Talisman, turning into swirling black smoke that rose to the sky.
Chen Yang was certain that the Ghost Doctor was doomed.
The Heavenly Thunder Talisman was crafted by the Taoist Sect.
This Taoist Sect should belong to the same branch as the Lion Tiger Mountain, specializing in suppressing these heretical forces.
With his body pierced through, the Ghost Doctor could no longer survive; death was inevitable.
"You, you are ruthless... Today I, the Ghost Doctor, may have fallen, but don’t get too complacent too soon, I will make sure you accompany me, definitely!!!" The Ghost Doctor glared at Chen Yang with hatred, letting out a curse-like roar.
Then, amidst the grinding of the thunder and lightning, he unexpectedly forced out the essence blood within his body, spitting it out.
The essence blood scattered in the air, eventually forming a blood-red butterfly.
"Brother Chen Yang, quickly destroy that Blood Butterfly."
Chen Yang was puzzled, wondering what the Ghost Doctor was plotting, when Tu Qi’s anxious voice sounded in his ear.
At the sound of this, Chen Yang immediately waved the Stone-Cutting Sword, unleashing a Sword Qi to slay that Blood Butterfly.
Unfortunately, it was still too late, the Blood Butterfly flew away.
It moved quickly, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye.
"Hahaha, don’t get too smug, you’ll soon be coming to accompany me, I’ll be waiting." The Ghost Doctor laughed once again upon seeing the Blood Butterfly successfully escape.
Then, under the ravage of lightning, he turned into a pool of black water, completely dead.
Only black water remained on the ground, along with his tattered black robe and his withered wooden staff.
"The Blood Butterfly got away, this is a big problem."
At this time, Tu Qi came rushing over through the wind and dust.
Chen Yang sheathed the Stone-Cutting Sword and couldn’t help but ask Tu Qi, "What is that Blood Butterfly? Does letting it fly away have significant consequences?"
Tu Qi looked anxious, "Brother Chen Yang, that is the Blood Disc Breathing Technique!"
"The butterfly that flew away was not just an ordinary butterfly, it was a message sent out by the Ghost Doctor."
"There might be a sect nearby, the message was sent, and we might be pursued."
Chen Yang, who initially didn’t understand what the butterfly was, realized the gravity of the situation after Tu Qi’s explanation.
Failing to break the Blood Butterfly just now might bring trouble upon them.
"I didn’t realize at the time and let that Blood Butterfly escape." Chen Yang said somewhat regretfully.
"It’s okay, I reckon his sect isn’t nearby. If we leave early, it shouldn’t be an issue." Tu Qi reassured.
Hmm.
Chen Yang nodded slightly, then quickly approached the place where the Ghost Doctor died.
The black water emitted a foul stench, nauseating and foul-smelling.
Chen Yang took a quick look and soon found the Ghost Doctor’s storage ring within the black clothes.
Picking it up, he conducted a simple search.
Found that this guy actually had quite a few valuable items on him.
Thousands of Spirit Stones, plus some miscellaneous items, all having considerable worth.
Besides these, what attracted Chen Yang’s attention the most was a cultivation technique with a black cover.
On it was written, Undying Demon Technique in four characters.
The name alone suggested it was likely the primary cultivation technique practiced by the Ghost Doctor.
"Undying Demon Technique, it sounds quite impressive," Chen Yang teased with a smile, then opened it up to take a look.
Discovering that this Demon Technique was truly a Demon Technique worthy of its name.
The cultivation method was extremely evil.
It involved continuously killing people to enhance one’s power.
The reason why the Ghost Doctor could heal wounds so quickly before was because the Demon Technique absorbed the life force of the living, storing it.
When he needed it, the powerful life force enabled him to quickly heal wounds.
After a basic understanding of how the Demon Technique worked, Chen Yang clicked his tongue.
"Such a cultivation technique, I wonder who created it, it’s utterly evil to an extreme." Chen Yang said.
"Then destroy it, don’t let anyone practice it again and harm the world," Tu Qi suggested beside him.
Hmm.
Chen Yang nodded, then with a slight exertion, the cultivation technique in his hand turned to dust.
Then with a blaze, he burned all of the Ghost Doctor’s remaining possessions to ashes.
Including the village from before, he also set it ablaze.
Because previously, the Ghost Doctor had slaughtered all the villagers to absorb power, as well as life force, to confront the two of them.
No one in the village survived.
Since that was the case, Chen Yang naturally had to burn it down.
Couldn’t just let the bodies of the innocent villagers be devoured by wild beasts, exposed to the sun, and left strewn in the streets.
After setting the village ablaze, Chen Yang and Tu Qi did not waste time, immediately moving on, heading towards the Teta Desert.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During these three days, Chen Yang and Tu Qi had been on the road non-stop, only taking brief breaks in some towns.
And the relentless travel over these three days finally took them across the entire Tercan Empire, to the border between the Teta Desert and the Empire.
To a small town called Lingsha Town.
This was the most remote frontier of the Tercan Empire.
If they left the town and continued northwest, they would exit the boundaries of the Tercan Empire and completely enter the Teta Desert.
With their destination within sight, Chen Yang was in no rush to enter.
He decided to make a brief stop in Lingsha Town, to learn about the desert as well as to rest.
The nonstop travel for three days was quite exhausting.
Especially for Tu Qi, who hadn’t had a proper meal.
Now that they finally entered the town, Chen Yang naturally wanted to treat him to a good meal.
Otherwise, once they entered the desert, there wouldn’t be much opportunity to eat well.
"Brother Chen Yang, how about this little shop here, eh? It smells delightful." Walking down the street, Tu Qi eyed a small shop.
The shop emitted a very appetizing aroma.
Just smelling it made one’s mouth water with a strong urge to taste it.
"Hmm, up to you." Chen Yang nodded, readily agreeing.
"Let’s go then." Tu Qi smiled gently, then walked towards the shop with broad strides.
Chen Yang followed him in.
It was a small shop, with only about seven or eight tables.
However, business was quite good, with four or five tables occupied by guests enjoying fine wine and gourmet food.
Yet the meat on their tables was unrecognizable, seemingly unlike anything they had seen before.
"Two sirs, are you here to dine or to lodge?"
The moment they entered, the shop assistant swiftly came over to greet them.
"Dining and lodging," Tu Qi responded.
"Oh, that’s great! This way, sirs." The shop assistant was very perceptive, and upon hearing this, immediately led Tu Qi and Chen Yang to an empty table.
Also instructing other assistants to prepare two rooms.
Afterwards, he smiled and asked Tu Qi, "Dear guest, what would you like to eat?"
"Hmm..." Tu Qi pondered, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Because this place was several thousand kilometers away from Cangnan Academy.
