Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 690: Chapter 689: Fierce Battle in the Mines

Ye Haochuan’s voice resounded across the entire battlefield, successfully attracting everyone’s attention.

”What? This human has killed the Beast King?”

Countless Flame Eagle Beasts immediately froze, then hurriedly flew towards Ye Haochuan’s direction.

Soon, the sky above Ye Haochuan was teeming with tens of thousands of Flame Eagle Beasts, forming a dense mass that made one’s scalp tingle.

”The Beast King is really dead!” The majority of Flame Eagle Beasts, upon seeing the Beast King’s ice sculpture, felt their beliefs dissolve into confusion, uncertain of what to do next.

After a moment of silence, many Flame Eagle Beasts suddenly let out soft cries, scattering and flying away all at once.

”Damn humans, daring to kill the Beast King, we should not just return like this, we must avenge the Beast King!”

A few Flame Eagle Beasts, unwaveringly loyal to the Beast King, cried out fiercely, trying to stabilize the situation. Unfortunately, although there were some at the Innate Early Stage among them, they were ultimately not the Beast King and couldn’t influence all the Flame Eagle Beasts.

In the end, tens of thousands of Flame Eagle Beasts chose to leave, leaving behind only a few hundred.

”Bastard, I’m going to kill you!”

One Innate Early Stage Flame Eagle Beast, its feathers nearly exploding from rage, swiftly swooped towards Ye Haochuan, aiming to take his head.

This Flame Eagle Beast clearly understood that all these changes were caused by Ye Haochuan. If it hadn’t been for his slaying the Beast King, the Flame Eagle Beasts would have already annihilated the Fire Tree Human Clan, not falling apart as they were now.

However, this Flame Eagle Beast, blinded by anger, overlooked Ye Haochuan’s current strength at the Innate Mid-Stage.

With a light snort, Ye Haochuan instantly sent the Ice Soul Sword flying out, cleaving the Flame Eagle Beast into two with a single stroke.

The other Flame Eagle Beasts grew even angrier upon seeing this, swarming down to surround Ye Haochuan, hoping to overpower him with their numbers.

Ye Haochuan’s lips curled into a smile filled with murderous intent. He immediately brought out the Strange Fire King Cauldron and threw himself into it.

The Strange Fire King Cauldron spun rapidly, the Extreme Ice Cotton Palm hitting its inner wall, instantly turning the entire cauldron into a machine bristling with ice spikes. Any Flame Eagle Beasts that approached were instantly ground into pieces.

Meanwhile, the Fire Tree Human Clan and members of the Long Alliance launched an offensive from the outside, accelerating the demise of the Flame Eagle Beasts’ flock. Within a few minutes, the few hundred Flame Eagle Beasts that had stayed were gone.

”Many thanks for your kindness in saving our clan, our Fire Tree Human Clan truly has no way to repay...” The Eldest Elder, along with the surviving Fire Tree Humans, thanked Ye Haochuan solemnly.

At this moment, Ye Haochuan showed not a hint of joy, speaking solemnly, ”No need for thanks. I have urgent matters to attend to and must take my leave now.”

With that, Ye Haochuan led the members of the Long Alliance away in a hurry.

Huo Mengyao, I’ll be there soon. You all must hold on!

Ye Haochuan was filled with urgency.

...

The battle at the mine was hardly optimistic. Four Hellfire Innate Masters caused heavy losses in an instant.

”It seems we must use the Innate Pills!” Huo Mengyao, seeing the situation clearly, bit her silver teeth, took out all six Innate Pills that Ye Haochuan had given her, and had Fan Qingyin distribute them to Xu Wei and others at the Postnatal Late Stage.

”My friends, taking Innate Pills to advance might destabilize your foundations. If you’re unwilling, you need not make such a big sacrifice!” Huo Mengyao warned.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wei swallowed the Innate Pill immediately, laughing, ”Our lives are at stake, what does that matter now?”

The others thought the same and swallowed the Innate Pills one after another.

To them, Innate Pills were extremely rare. Relying on their own power, they would never be able to obtain such high-level Pills. As long as they could ascend to the Innate level, who would care about unstable foundations?

Nevertheless, in such a moment, these people thought not of fleeing but of sharing life and death with the mine, which heartened Huo Mengyao immensely.

Upon swallowing the Innate Pill, Huo Mengyao only felt a fierce medicinal power forcefully entering her bloodstream, clearing her limbs and bones, and finally converging into her Dantian Qi Sea.

Then, True Qi inside her body churned like a reversed river, breaking the previous balance and vanishing entirely. Moments later, a new strength surged from her Dantian, growing increasingly vigorous.

Huo Mengyao felt her body filled with power and couldn’t help but let out a loud cry.

After her, five powerful cries erupted one after another, shaking the entire mine.

The newly advanced Xu Wei and others instantly found their matches, taking on the Innate Experts from Hellfire without hesitation.

Huo Mengyao and Fan Qingyin, one shooting arrows while the other urgently strumming the Yaoqin Zither, provided long-range cooperation and also stayed vigilant against Inoshita Shōgetsu who had yet to make a move.

”How can there be so many Innate Pills?” Inoshita Shōgetsu furrowed his brows slightly, obviously surprised.

For those in the Postnatal Realm, Innate Pills were incredibly rare. He never imagined that a small mine could possess six of them.

It seemed that those who attacked this mine had quite a background.

Inoshita Shōgetsu let out a cold snort; the territory of Hellfire had actually been taken over by the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, which irritated him.

Outnumbered six to four, the Innate Experts of Hellfire were quickly forced onto the defensive.

Inoshita Shōgetsu huffed coldly and took out a Talisman Sword from his ring, charging towards Huo Mengyao. He had seen clearly before that Huo Mengyao was the one in charge of the mine; as long as he killed her, the others would surely scatter.

”Not good!” As soon as he saw Inoshita Shōgetsu make his move, Huo Mengyao was startled and immediately directed her aim at him.

Thump, thump, thump!

With the sound of the bowstring vibrating three times in succession, Huo Mengyao instantly unleashed three arrows.

”Hmph, mere child’s play!” Inoshita Shōgetsu snorted lightly as he swung the Talisman Sword swiftly in a circle, easily blocking the three arrows.

Huo Mengyao’s eyebrows knit tightly together as she felt an unprecedented pressure.

”I’m here to assist you!” Fan Qingyin shouted, and the tune she played changed instantly from a rapid clashing sound to a bold and unrestrained melody.

This was an encouraging tune, without the power to kill enemies, but it could boost Huo Mengyao’s attack and defense.

Huo Mengyao only felt a surge of powerful force pour into her body, her strength dramatically increasing in every part of herself.

”Die!” Huo Mengyao drew her bow again, mustering all her strength to shoot another arrow.

Whoosh~

This arrow, carrying an unstoppable, formidable momentum, seemed determined to break through any obstruction.

”Get away!” Inoshita Shōgetsu snorted and parried the arrow right on its tip with the Talisman Sword.

The arrow that had been fiercely advancing suddenly flew off like a kite whose string had been cut.

”Is this the strength of an Innate Mid-Stage?”

Both Huo Mengyao and Fan Qingyin were stunned by the overwhelming display of power from Inoshita Shōgetsu.

The strike just now was the culmination of both their strongest efforts, and yet they hadn’t inflicted even a minor wound on Inoshita Shōgetsu. What other tactics could they possibly have to defeat him?

”Senior Sister Huo, we can’t hold on any longer, we should flee,” Fan Qingyin said urgently.

”No way, Haochuan obtained this mine with great difficulty, and I promised to help him defend it. I can’t go back on my word!” Huo Mengyao clenched her jaw, her fingers already bleeding from drawing the bow so many times, but she seemed not to notice, stubbornly persisting.

”Senior Sister, the situation is dire, we simply can’t hold it. To continue stubbornly would be to sacrifice our lives for nothing,” Fan Qingyin insisted.

”That won’t happen, he’s already on his way here, we will be safe,” Huo Mengyao said with conviction.

”I really don’t know what kind of spell you’re under for him, to the point that you would even throw away your life!” Fan Qingyin said with a cold voice.

Huo Mengyao suddenly smiled gently and said, ”I am his woman, even if it costs my life, it’s not that big of a deal. As for you, Junior Sister Fan, there is no need for you to risk your life for this mine. Go ahead and leave!”

”Although I’m not his woman, I’ve received his favor. Protecting his woman now could be considered repaying that kindness,” Fan Qingyin chuckled lightly, resolved to stand or fall with the mine.

Huo Mengyao wanted to persuade her again but noticed that the battle in front had taken a sudden turn.
