Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1271: Chapter 331: The True Face of Vajra, Is It...?

Di Shen was like a lion gone blood-mad, eyes scarlet with rage, his whole body exuding a chilling will to battle.

On his face, sinister Demon Marks spread like vines, rapidly growing, and the Primordial Power in his body underwent a violent transformation. Strands of black demonic power drilled out of him. He let out a long howl and grabbed the Golden Spear in the Golden Vajra’s hand.

With a sharp crack, the Golden Spear, refined from some unknown Ore, was forcibly snapped into two pieces by Di Shen.

In the Golden Vajra Leader’s eyes, a look of shock rose in an instant. He had never imagined Di Shen would suddenly undergo such a mutation.

Facing Di Shen, wreathed in Demon Energy and on the verge of Demonization, the Golden Leader’s attacks suddenly weakened.

And at this moment, Ye Lingyue, who had broken into the Array Eye in search of the Puppet Book, stepped into a completely different space.

Just as Di Shen had said earlier, within the Vajra Formation, there was still another Array.

After Ye Lingyue entered that new Array, a small secret room appeared ahead of her.

The secret room was not large, only five feet square. In the entire room, there was only a single bookshelf, and beside the shelf lay many Vajra Puppets that had not been completely refined.

On any other day, if Ye Lingyue saw these Vajra Puppets, she would have been overjoyed.

These Vajra Puppets were all treasures. Compared to Elixir Puppets, they were in no way inferior, and such a large number had appeared at once. With a bit of repair and re-refining, each one could become a Human-shaped Soldier.

It seemed this secret room must have been the place where Situ Nan secretly refined Vajra Puppets in the past, or perhaps where the seniors of Vajra City once refined them.

Only, at this time, Ye Lingyue had no heart to inspect so much.

Her mind was entirely on the Puppet Book.

On the bookshelf, several ancient books were displayed.

Ye Lingyue rummaged through them and discovered they were all old records, information about Gold City, all sorts of trivial, insignificant data.

The Puppet Book she sought, however, was nowhere to be seen.

She had to find the Puppet Book as quickly as possible. That Golden Vajra Leader was quite strange; although Di Shen’s strength was outstanding, Ye Lingyue remained uneasy.

But after searching the entire bookshelf, Ye Lingyue still did not find the upper half of the Puppet Book.

Could it be that the Puppet Book was not here at all, and had already been taken away by Situ Nan?

Ye Lingyue could not help growing anxious. Suddenly, something fell from the bookshelf.

Looking carefully, Ye Lingyue noticed a miniature Golden Vajra.

This Vajra Puppet looked very similar to the Golden Vajra Leader she had encountered outside earlier.

”This is...?”

Ye Lingyue hesitated, then picked up that Vajra Puppet. The moment it entered her hand, she felt something strange about this Mini Golden King Kong.

As if guided by some Ghostly impulse, Ye Lingyue injected a wisp of her spiritual power into the Mini Golden King Kong.

As soon as her spiritual power poured in, Ye Lingyue felt it swallowed clean in an instant, and on the body of the Mini Golden King Kong, lines of text began to surface.

Ye Lingyue hurriedly infused another portion of spiritual power.

This time, the characters on the Mini Golden King Kong grew clearer, and the number of words slowly increased.

”Upper Part of the Puppet Book?”

Ye Lingyue saw six characters and finally understood: the Puppet Book was not a book at all. The true Puppet Book was hidden within this Mini Golden King Kong.

The one who had left behind the upper part of the Puppet Book back then had truly been painstaking. This Puppet Book could only be read by those proficient in spiritual power; only spiritual power could reveal it. If an ordinary Martial Artist entered—even if they broke through the Vajra Formation—because they did not understand spiritual power, they would miss the Puppet Book entirely.

Ye Lingyue’s pupils flickered as she began to read the Puppet Book urgently.

Time passed, second by second.

Within the Vajra Formation, the aura of the gradually Demonizing Di Shen had already completely suppressed the Golden Vajra Leader.

Di Shen’s palm shot out and clamped around the Golden Vajra Leader’s throat.

”I don’t care what kind of monster you are. Falling into my hands, Di Shen’s hands, you can only blame your bad luck.”

Di Shen’s fingers tightened. Along with a surge of terrifying demonic power, his hand pierced through the Golden Vajra Leader’s chest.

”Di Shen! Don’t!”

With an urgent shout, Ye Lingyue flew out from the Array Eye.

Di Shen paused slightly—partly because of Ye Lingyue’s shout, and partly because there was now a bloody, still-beating heart in his hand.

How could this be?

This Golden Vajra Leader was actually a living person?

He wasn’t like the other Vajra Puppets... As blood sprayed, Di Shen looked in disbelief at the Golden Vajra Leader.

With a dull thud, the Golden Vajra Leader’s helmet fell to the ground, revealing a pale, young face.

”Wife, I...” The Demon Energy on Di Shen’s body dissipated, and there was still a trace of disbelief on his face.

”Di Shen, I found the Puppet Book. I discovered something: these Vajra Puppets are just like those Human-shaped Soldiers, they can be refined using living people. And this Golden Vajra Leader, he, he is...”

In Ye Lingyue’s eyes was infinite regret. She had never imagined that the Golden Vajra Leader within the Vajra Formation would actually be...

”Cough... You two are also Disciples of Lonely Moon Sea, aren’t you? I am an Inner Sect Disciple of Xuefeng, Xue Zhong... cough, cough... also your Senior Brother.” The Golden Vajra Leader coughed twice.

”A Senior Brother from Hua Feng? Senior Brother Xue, how did you become a Golden Vajra? Hold on, I’ll get you out immediately.” Di Shen knew he had committed a grave mistake and hurriedly tried to carry Xue Zhong out.

He had never imagined the one he had struck down would be a fellow Disciple of Lonely Moon Sea.

”Di Shen...” Ye Lingyue stopped him and shook her head.

Di Shen suddenly understood. His wife’s medical skills were very High-level. Since she hadn’t acted just now, that meant this Senior Brother Xue Zhong was beyond saving.

”No need. Junior Sister, you should already have gotten the Puppet Book... so you should also know that from the day I became a Vajra Puppet, my fate was already sealed. Junior Brother, don’t blame yourself. I don’t blame you. On the contrary... I should thank you.” Xue Zhong gave a tragic smile. There was no reproach in his words, only a sense of release. ”My death doesn’t matter. I only ask that you... save Luo Yi.”

”Luo Yi? Senior Brother Xue Zhong, could it be you’re that Inner Sect Disciple who brought Luo Yi into the Ancient Battlefield?”

Ye Lingyue was shocked. Earlier, she had only seen records in the Puppet Book and learned that Xue Zhong was a Disciple of Lonely Moon Sea, but she had not known Xue Zhong was connected to Luo Yi.

”I’m the one who dragged her into this. If I hadn’t grown greedy back then and tried to pry into the Puppet Book, Luo Yi would never have fallen into Situ Nan’s hands. She’s a good woman; it’s me who had no blessing to enjoy it. Promise me... you must save... save her.” Xue Zhong suddenly gripped Ye Lingyue’s hand. His body convulsed, his eyes went wide, and he breathed his last.
