Unrivaled Medicine God, page 39
Currently, her essence energy was drained. She could not even commit suicide.
Lu-er became more and more terrified and increasingly becoming weaker.
If she were tainted by a fellow like him, she would rather die!
Pah!
Zhang Heng slapped Lu-er's face and spat as he said, "Little b*tch. You still aren't compliant when you are already like this? You're really asking for a beating!"
Lu-er suffered due to that slap, and one side of her face immediately swelled up. She laid there motionlessly as if she was resigned to her fate.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Heng gave a nasty grin and said, 'That's right. Much better now. Don't worry. After today, you won't be able to leave this Senior Apprentice Brother! Hahaha!"
After saying that, Zhang Heng leaned over to carry out that bestial act.
But right at this moment, all the pores on Zhang Heng's body stood on end. A feeling of danger came from straight ahead.
Zhang Heng instinctively jumped away. An ice arrow grazed his face as it flew past.
Luckily, his reaction was fast enough. Otherwise, that ice arrow would have already pierced through his throat.
Withdrawing to the side, Zhang Heng broke into cold sweat. Who would have thought that this lass who already did not have any strength to retaliate could actually release such a powerful attack?
However, Zhang Heng instantly became furious. Lu-er nearly killed him!
Lu-er struggled to get up. Presently, her entire aura had changed drastically. Her entire body gave off an ice-cold feeling.
This sort iciness seemed like it could even freeze the air.
A layer of white frost covered Lu-er's hair, and her face also turned abnormally pale.
Zhang Heng looked at Lu-er's transformation and chortled as he said, "So, it turns out that you have the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian! You actually dared to cultivate essence energy with your Nine Yin Absolute Meridian. You really can't tell life from death! Right now, the frost poison has burst forth, I will see how you suppress it!"
The sun was currently shining brightly, but Lu-er felt as if her entire body was placed in an icehouse. The frost penetrated the bone and sunk in deeply.
This was the ultimate move of the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul, Profound Ice Returns to Dust!
This move was a forbidden technique in the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul. When Ye Yuan was teaching Lu-er, he had informed her that unless she had no other alternative, she must absolutely never use it!
That was because this move triggered the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, attracting the frost qi between heaven and earth into her body in exchange for a powerful strength temporarily.
The name 'Returns to Dust' meant that after using it, from ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It was a move to perish together with your enemy.
Currently, Lu-er's aura soared massively, directly breaking through the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm threshold, past the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm, and finally stopping at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!
The time Lu-er spent cultivating the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul was still too short. Even though she improved at an amazing speed, her comprehension was not that profound.
If the Spirit Snow Divine King was the one executing the Profound Ice Returns to Dust, even if she only at the strength of a First Level Essence Qi Realm, she would be able to directly raise her strength to the Great Circle of Perfection of the Essence Qi Realm!
Although Zhang Heng was surprised at Lu-er's sudden rise in strength, he did not pay too much heed.
The Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm was still a minor stage lower than him!
But he was currently livid because Lu-er nearly killed him just now, making him feel incredibly ashamed.
That ice arrow also extinguished his lust. Right now, what he wanted to do was to send Lu-er to the afterlife.
Directly killing was a definite no-no. He would be punished by the academy.
But since this lass had the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, then he could not be blamed if she sought her own death.
"Die, lecher!" Lu-er grabbed the air with one hand. An ice arrow formed once again and shot towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng laughed coldly as he easily dodged it.
This ice arrow might have a high attacking power, but what was the use if it could not hit the target?
He was unprepared just now, which was why Lu-er's sneak attack almost succeeded. Now that they were fighting head-on, he naturally would not fall for it again.
After all, Lu-er was not Ye Yuan. She lacked actual combat experience and could not control the sudden rise in strength.
This sort of straight-forward attack obviously would not cause any trouble for the powerful Zhang Heng.
However, Lu-er did not care. Before she activated the Profound Ice Returns to Dust, she already had the will to die.
Lu-er believed that even if she could not kill this guy, Young Master would take revenge for her!
"Trying to deal with me with these sort of attacks? You're underestimating Earth Rank students' strength too much!" Zhang Heng said with a mocking face.
"Humph! Thousand Illusion Hail!"
Lu-er cried out as her two hands formed a round shape.
Very swiftly, countless stones formed between her hands. Pushing both palms out, a hailstone shot towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng was astounded. He did not think that Lu-er's attacks would continue without end.
This hailstone was an area-of-effect attack. Zhang Heng's speed was fast, but he was still struck by many hailstones.
But the attack power of this hailstone was much weaker than the previous ice arrow. Coupled with Zhang Heng's powerful essence energy protection, these sort of attacks were unable to cause any real damage to him.
"Humph! Don't blame me for courting death, lass! Snake Shadow Whip!"
Zhang Heng's whip technique was very skillful. The whip shot towards Lu-er from a highly tricky angle.
Right now, Lu-er knew that she was not Zhang Heng's match, and her heart already held the will to die. She did not evade this whip at all.
A sneer suddenly appeared on Lu-er's face. Noticing this, Zhang Heng was startled.
Only to see that Lu-er's hands moved at high speed, and she actually formed multiple ice arrows in an instant!
Lu-er did not defend at all. She was actually going to make both parties lose!
Zhang Heng did not expect Lu-er to not fear death to such an extent. He did not want to die, so he swiftly pulled back his whip, and whirled his whip around. Very soon, the ice arrows were twirled into broken pieces.
His strength exceeded Lu-er's by far too much, and his combat experience was also much richer. For Lu-er to injure him head-on, it was harder than trying to reach the heaven.
After Zhang Heng shattered the ice arrows, he struck with his whip once more.
Lu-er's attack just now had already exhausted all of her essence energy. Right now, she could no longer continue, so she just gave up defending and closed her eyes to wait for death.
"Young Master, in future, Lu-er can no longer be at your side to serve you. You have to take good care of yourself!"
Two clear streams of tears fell and froze into ice beads.
Zhang Heng was aware that Lu-er did not fear death, but he did not expect that Lu-er looked forward to death so much that she just stopped defending.
He did not hold back on this move. If he hit Lu-er, then she was dead for sure.
The attack was already released, and Zhang Heng could no longer stop it anymore. Just as he watched it about to land on Lu-er, a force shot out from diagonally!
Chi!
The force actually directly broke the soft whip!
Zhang Heng was horrified.
Although his soft whip was not a magical artifact, that attack just now filled the inside of the whip with essence energy. It could pierce straight through a person, and yet, it was broken with one move by someone!
"Who's there? You're really despicable to dare to ambush me!" Zhang Heng howled.
A youth dressed in azure clothing glided over and landed beside Lu-er.
He did not even spare a glance at Zhang Heng. Picking up Lu-er, he took out a medicinal pill for her to eat.
"Lu-er, Young Master came late."
Lu-er opened her eyes wearily and saw that it was Ye Yuan. A trace of light recovered within her eyes.
"Don't talk. Watch by the side. Young Master will stand up for you!" As he spoke, Ye Yuan's words grew frostier.
Ye Yuan supported Lu-er to the sides, and then he stood up straight and shouted, "Right now, I really want to kill someone! Anyone who stops me will be my enemy! I will not give up until you die!"
Chapter 76. The Strong Breaks the Rules! |
"Right now, I really want to kill someone! Anyone who stops me will be my enemy! I will not give up until you die!"
Ye Yuan's words were directed toward Feng Ruoqing. He knew that Feng Ruoqing also came.
If Feng Ruoqing makes a move, it would be impossible for him to kill Zhang Heng.
This was a warning!
Nobody responded, but this was already a sort of tacit consent.
Zhang Heng burst out laughing like he had just heard a hilarious joke. "Hahaha . . . . . . Kill me? You're that Ye Yuan, right? Just you, a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, wants to jump ranks to kill me? You two, master and servant, are equally unable to gauge your strength!"
Ye Yuan did not show any reaction and said coolly, "Are you acting on your own? Or is there somebody instigating you? Speak, and I will spare your life!"
Ye Yuan had no connections with this Zhang Heng. It was even more unlikely for Lu-er to provoke anyone, so he did not believe that Zhang Heng would force Lu-er to such a desperate situation for no reason whatsoever.
Just now, Zhang Heng recognized Ye Yuan immediately with a glance. This further confirmed his conjecture.
"What a joke! You, a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, are so f*cking arrogant! You think that after passing the Black Rank Advancement test and increasing your cultivation realm, you have the capital to challenge veteran Earth Rank students? Spare my life? Why don't you try for me to see?!"
Although Zhang Heng was astonished by Ye Yuan's advancement speed, he did not feel that he could threaten him.
He was three minor cultivation realms above Ye Yuan, and they were separated by a minor stage. This sort of difference in power was not so easily bridged.
Zhang Heng admitted that Ye Yuan was a genius. But who among those who could enter the Dan Wu Academy and become an Earth Rank student was not a genius among geniuses?
Ye Yuan sighed, and he said calmly, "One really can't communicate with an imbecile. Since you don't want to talk, then I will beat you until you do."
Ye Yuan did not waste his breath. He raised his hand and executed Stacking Waves Layered Palm.
Eight Layer Wave!
"Humph! Reckless punk. You dare to look down on me and only use one hand?!"
Zhang Heng naturally would not fold his hands and await death. He threw his weapon aside and also used his bare hands.
"Prajna Palm!"
Zhang Heng raised his hands to unleash a high-rank martial technique.
Zhang Heng had spent a great deal of time and effort on this Prajna Palm and trained it to the Great Success stage. Furthermore, he struck out with both palms together, so the amount of essence energy used was much greater.
Zhang Heng curled the corner of his mouth as if seeing the image of Ye Yuan being heavily injured.
Three palms collided, but the events did not play out as Zhang Heng imagined. He felt a colossal force coming from the Ye Yuan's palm, which immediately passed through his two hands and spread throughout his entire body.
"Puu!" Zhang Heng gave a muffled groan, and blood sprayed out wildly from his mouth. His entire body flew out like he was heavily struck.
"Now, will you talk?" Ye Yuan continued speaking calmly without any trace of emotion.
The palm that Ye Yuan unleashed in anger was the Eight Layer Wave!
Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eight Layer Wave. This was a palm technique that could even finish off a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and Zhang Heng chose to receive it head-on foolishly. There would be no justice if he did not die.
But Ye Yuan deliberately held back on this move and only heavily injured Zhang Heng. The intention was to find out who was the mastermind.
Ye Yuan took two steps forward and walked to Zhang Heng's side. Looking down on him, he asked icily, "Now, will you talk?"
"Puu!" Zhang Heng coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Right now, his arms were broken, and his internal organs also suffered extremely serious injuries. He looked incredibly wretched. If he did not receive medical treatment, he would soon die without Ye Yuan needing to move.
"Talk . . . Talk my *ss! Ha . . . haha . . . If you have the ability, then kill me! The Dan Wu Academy's rules state that students cannot kill one another! Come then! Kill me!" Zhang Heng's blood stained his teeth as he laughed miserably.
Ye Yuan looked at Zhang Heng pitifully, and he said coldly, "Rules? Rules are only used to restrict mediocre people like you. A true powerhouse will break all the rules and establish his own rules! Someone like you can only live under other people's rules forever. How pitiful!"
"Hahaha! Who doesn't know how to brag? If you have the balls, then try breaking the rules for me to see! A Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm punk talking nonsense about breaking the rules. What a joke!"
Zhang Heng clearly did not believe that Ye Yuan dared to go against the academy's rules. That was because, in the academy's history, all those who broke the rules were sentenced to death!
Except for that person!
"Is that so? Then I will break the rules now. Except . . . you won't be able to see it."
Ye Yuan raised his hand again, and essence energy hovered faintly within his palm.
At this moment, Zhang Heng could clearly sense the killing intent coming off of Ye Yuan.
To Ye Yuan, Lu-er was one of his closest loved ones, and Zhang Heng dared to force her until she used the Profound Ice Returns to Dust. Even his death was insufficient!
In his precious life, Ye Yuan did not have the ability to protect his loved ones. In this life, he was set on never letting his loved ones come to harm. But he did not expect to encounter something like this.
Ye Yuan's self-condemnation had already surpassed his fury!
This palm slapped downwards without any hesitation. Zhang Heng no longer doubted Ye Yuan's determination.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! Don't kill me! I-I was only under someone's instigation!" Zhang Heng finally could not withstand the pressure, and hurriedly shouted.
"Talk!" Ye Yuan did not shift his palm. He was waiting for Zhang Heng's answer.
"I'll talk, but you have to promise not to kill me. Otherwise, I'd rather die than say!" Zhang Heng painfully made his decision and threatened him.
"Is that so? Then bring it with you inside your coffin!" Ye Yuan channeled his palm strength and moved a little closer to Zhang Heng.
"Don't don't don't! I'll talk, I'll talk! I-its Senior Apprentice Brother Lin Tiancheng who instructed me. I was only obeying him! He's the head student of the General Affairs Department, so I can't disobey him! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I beg you, let me go. I will definitely help you testify against Lin Tiancheng!"
God knows where Zhang Heng got the strength from, to manage to crawl up and grab hold of Ye Yuan's leg as he cried out.
"Good. You can die now!"
Ye Yuan's palm struck down, and Zhang Heng died without even making any sound.
Regardless of whether he was obeying others or not, he deserved to die ten thousand times over just for forcing Lu-er to such a state!
"Lin Tiancheng?" Ye Yuan thought for a moment and recalled who this Lin Tiancheng was.
He did not think that it was actually such a minor character that made Lu-er end up in such a sorry state. If he knew this beforehand, he would have taken preventive measures.
Right at this moment, Lu-er's movement alerted Ye Yuan. He quickly rushed over to Lu-er.
Lu-er already had no more strength to stand up. She was currently crawling forward!
"Lu-er, what are you doing?! If there's anything, just tell me! I will do it for you!" Ye Yuan shouted as he rushed over.
Lu-er continued moving forward bit by bit and finally crawled in front of that blue color badge.
She reached out to grab that Alchemy Master badge and held it against her chest as if that blue badge was her everything.
Ye Yuan hurriedly picked up Lu-er. After Lu-er got the badge, she could finally no longer hold on and fainted. Except, she still had a hint of a smile on her face, looking completely satisfied.
Looking at the object in Lu-er's hand, he could not help feeling his heart ached.
An insignificant badge to him was cherished so deeply by Lu-er!
"Thank you, Lu-er. Let's go home!"
Chapter 77. Have You All Thought Things Through? |
"Why did you have to do that? According to the academy's rules, killing fellow students is the death penalty!"
Feng Ruoqing gave a faint sigh as she revealed herself and blocked Ye Yuan's path.
Ye Yuan stopped, and then he retorted, "If Feng Zhirou ended up like this because of someone, what would you do?"
". . ."
Feng Ruoqing was speechless. The answer was obvious.
"Those people were sentenced to death because they weren't talented enough. If they had sufficient potential and had adequate strength, I think the academy would not kill them, but instead, heavily nurture them, right?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Ye Yuan's words were sufficiently arrogant. But what he said was logical and natural!
Regardless of whether it was his past life or this life, Ye Yuan could look down proudly on all the pinnacle geniuses under the heavens!
Just imagine how great of a genius he was to have been hailed as the one most likely to breakthrough to the Alchemy God realm in the Divine Realm, where geniuses were as many as oxen hair.
