Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 458: Chapter 457 Assassination

”Hahaha, you humans, so many of you against just me and none of you is my match; what is there for me not to dare?”

The brigand leader laughed heartily and continued, ”You, this woman among these men, hold the highest cultivation. You’re perfect to be my sacrificial cauldron. Rest assured, as long as you don’t resist and let me drain your power, I won’t eat you—I’ll leave you a whole corpse.”

As he spoke, the brigand leader bent down. Suddenly, Senior Sister Bei’s eyes turned ice cold. She gathered the last of her strength and suddenly spat out a translucent, crystalline bead towards the brigand leader’s eyes.

”Ice Thunder Bead! You still have this thing?”

The brigand leader’s face changed, and he quickly swept his sleeve to block the bead.

No wonder he was frightened. In this Fire Elemental Realm, ice and fire are in natural opposition. As a species adapted to the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, how could he not fear objects of ice and water?

”Explode!”

No sooner had Senior Sister Bei uttered the word than the Ice Thunder Bead exploded instantly. The Insignia Robe on the brigand leader was blasted open, and his originally thick skin cracked as if boiling rocks had been doused with icy water.

”Good, good you, a human, still daring to resist at the brink of death. I will not spare you today!”

The brigand leader climbed up from the ground, his mouth dripping with blood and his steps faltering as he lunged toward Senior Sister Bei.

At this moment, Senior Sister Bei had exhausted all her strength. Her vision blurred, and the grim, fearsome brigand leader appeared as many shadows.

Other than closing her eyes and waiting to die, it seemed she had no better option.

”It’s time!”

Suddenly, Ye Haochuan, who had been lying in wait, leaped up like a hunting lion. He threw something; the chilling Ice Soul Sword flashed, stabbing towards the brigand leader’s back.

”Eh, someone’s still alive?”

The brigand leader was stunned momentarily. He wanted to counter quickly, but everything happened too fast, and he was also seriously injured. The Insignia Robe had been blasted open by the Ice Thunder Bead just moments before. Now, Ye Haochuan’s thunderous strike arrived at just the right moment!

Once he dispatched this brigand, not to mention the hidden treasures on him, just that Top-Grade Talisman Instrument, the Fire Dragon Blade alone was enough to make anyone salivate!

Ye Haochuan had long set his sights on the Fire Dragon Blade and was hell-bent on obtaining it.

With the Fire Dragon Blade, and later going to the Sub-Water Dimension Realm, he would have something to rely on. If the timing was right, he may shine divinely in the Sub-Water Dimension Realm.

In the blink of an eye, a ’Puchi’ was heard as the Ice Soul Sword buried itself in the brigand leader’s body.

”Ah!”

The brigand leader let out a heart-wrenching scream, but it was just for a moment, as the piercing cold of the Sword Qi entered his body. Following that, his blood, boiling hot, congealed, and his muscles began to stiffen, making it profoundly difficult to move even slightly.

”While you’re down, I take your life!”

Ye Haochuan naturally seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He stepped forward in his Dragon Flight and Tiger Step, quickly grasped the hilt of the Ice Soul Sword but didn’t pull it out. Instead, he activated his True Qi and suddenly twisted it.

With the surge of True Qi, the Ice Soul Sword’s white glow intensified, and in moments, the brigand leader’s entire body was wreathed in cold Qi, and shortly after, his body was frozen solid, completely dead.

”Damn, finally took him down!”

Ye Haochuan panted heavily as he withdrew the Ice Soul Sword, looked around quickly, and, seeing no one was paying attention, swiftly began searching the body. Soon, in his quick flurry, he found a storage ring.

Because the brigand leader was dead, there was no longer his spirit in the storage ring, allowing Ye Haochuan to seize a great advantage, immediately performing Blood Droplet Recognition. He quickly discovered many treasures inside, including the previously stashed away Fire Dragon Blade, various other rare and strange treasures, and different kinds of pills.

These exotic treasures, unfamiliar to him and of unknown use, were pointless to keep. Once back, he would revert to the usual method, directly exchanging them with the Sects. As for the pills, he was all too familiar with them. They were mostly Skin Refining Pills, used for conditioning the flesh, which he decided to keep for himself. He planned to refine them later as they would become very useful.

Having collected quite a few valuable items, Ye Haochuan was smiles all around and soon stashed them into his storage ring.

Next, it was time to rescue people.

However, he soon started to feel a headache coming on.

With the Brigand Leader being so formidable, how should he explain to Senior Sister Bei and the others that he had killed this guy?

No, absolutely not, he could not say he had killed him. Otherwise, once they questioned how he did it, would he have to reveal the Ice Soul Sword?

By then, no matter how much he tried to cover it up, suspicions would arise.

With this in mind, Ye Haochuan made a quick decision, found a hidden spot, and buried the corpse of the Brigand Leader. When everyone was still unconscious, he would simply claim that someone else did it. In this way, he could keep the treasures all to himself, a delightfully wicked plan.

With that thought, Ye Haochuan immediately moved to rescue the others.

The method was simple: employing the Ghost Escape Heart Method, he absorbed the black smoke that had infiltrated their brains, converting it to his own use and enhancing his spirit.

Senior Sister Bei was the first one he revived.

Upon realizing she was still alive, Senior Sister Bei said in surprise and joy, ”What happened?”

”Just now, a master appeared and saved me. He drove off the Brigand Leader and passed on the method to save you,” Ye Haochuan said coolly.

”That was close, so close,” Senior Sister Bei didn’t think further, simply relieved to have survived.

Afterward, Ye Haochuan continued rescuing others and soon had saved most of them. However, he hesitated when it came to Junior Brother Cheng.

”Junior Brother Ye, although you and Junior Brother Cheng don’t get along, you cannot just watch him die, not when you’re fellow disciples,” pleaded Senior Sister Bei earnestly.

”Fine, for your sake, Senior Sister Bei, I’ll save this guy,” Ye Haochuan reluctantly agreed.

With that, he waved his hand over the unconscious face of Junior Brother Cheng, activated his True Qi, and employed the Ghost Escape Heart Method. In just a short while, delicate strands of black smoke rose from Junior Brother Cheng’s head and were completely absorbed, bolstering his own spirit.

”We’re all still alive?” Junior Brother Cheng came to, utterly astonished.

”Junior Brother Cheng, you better thank Junior Brother Ye right away. He’s the one who saved you,” said Senior Sister Bei.

”What? He saved me? How is that possible?” Junior Brother Cheng said in disbelief.

”Indeed, he saved you, Junior Brother Cheng. Judging by Junior Brother Ye’s method of saving people, he is a Medical Practitioner of our sect, just like me, but his medical skills are far more superior,” another disciple said.

At this, Junior Brother Cheng suddenly understood and was even more amazed, though he quickly concealed his astonishment, burying it deep in his heart.

Suddenly, cries of battle came from the direction of the canyon entrance, shaking the earth.

”This is bad, a large group of brigands is coming. We need to quickly pull back the disciples who were stationed at the entrance to block them and then escape,” Senior Sister Bei’s expression changed.

Everyone quickly agreed.

Yet, Ye Haochuan had a different opinion and decisively said, ”Hehe, the Brigand Leader has been driven off by the master. Now is our chance to retaliate against his brigands and slaughter them! Don’t forget, these brigands are also quite valuable. Bringing them back to the Sect would yield substantial rewards. What do you say, everyone?”

”Are you mad? What if the Brigand Leader comes back? We’d be walking right into a trap,” opposed Junior Brother Cheng.
