Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 981: Chapter 980: Entering Lei Ze! (1 more)

At this moment, Ye Haochuan had not yet realized that danger was approaching. The two were just about to return when they suddenly saw another group of people charging toward them at high speed.

”Could they be from Xuanmen?” Long Piaoying asked in confusion.

Ye Haochuan, with his extraordinary eyesight, instantly saw the appearance of the approaching people and the fury written all over their faces.

”Damn, it’s the Hellfire sect! Run!”

Ye Haochuan, in shock, quickly grabbed Long Piaoying and took off using sword flight.

”What’s going on? Weren’t the Hellfire sect people already gone? Why are they chasing us again?” Long Piaoying asked, full of doubts.

”How would I know what’s got into them? They’re leaving the real Twin Tigers behind to chase after two fakes like us—what sense does that make?”

Ye Haochuan felt inexplicably frustrated, but there was no point dwelling on it now. It wasn’t like he could stop mid-flight and ask the Hellfire pursuers why they were chasing him, right?

Damnit, if I’d known, I would’ve found a place to hide earlier!

Just now, they both thought the crisis had passed, so they hadn’t been too careful about hiding their tracks. Now, look where that got them—no way to hide, only running for their lives.

”Shit! They’re too fast; we can’t outrun them!” Watching the pursuers drawing closer and closer, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curse out loud.

”Not good, that looks like Lei Ze up ahead!” Just as Ye Haochuan was burning with anxiety, Long Piaoying suddenly cried out in alarm.

Her words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Ye Haochuan completely stunned and frazzled.

Are you freaking kidding me? Danger in front, pursuers behind—could things be any worse?

In the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, Lei Ze lightning fields and Lei Yun thunderclouds were everywhere. The fact that Ye Haochuan and Long Piaoying had been flying for so long before encountering one was already a miracle of miracles.

”What do we do?” A sliver of despair flickered across Long Piaoying’s face.

”Let’s risk it!” Gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, Ye Haochuan dragged Long Piaoying and dashed straight into Lei Ze. Compared to being surrounded by Hellfire experts, he felt Lei Ze might be the slightly lesser danger.

The last time he’d been to Lei Ze, hadn’t he survived certain death and even encountered the Lei Tree People?

The Hellfire pursuers saw Ye Haochuan and Long Piaoying entering Lei Ze from a distance, and someone said, ”Look, they’re seeking their own deaths. Saves us the trouble!”

”They’re as good as dead. Let’s hurry and track down the Ji Family Twin Tigers instead!”

”No! We need to go over there and make sure they’re truly dead before we leave!” The leader of the group, a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator named Ino Shirō, spoke with a cautious expression.

The Hellfire disciples approached Lei Ze cautiously, just in time to see the sky suddenly boiling with an ominous mass of dark thunderclouds. Thick bolts of lightning as wide as a baby’s arm rolled across the clouds, accompanied by deafening roars that echoed across the heavens.

”Such massive lightning bolts—won’t even ashes be left if you’re hit by one of those?” someone joked.

”Serves that kid right for daring to interfere with Hellfire’s plans. Getting struck by lightning is practically a favor to him!”

The others chuckled knowingly, their eyes glinting with mockery.

Holy shit, why’s it that ridiculously big?

Staring at the menacing lightning flashing within the thunderclouds, Ye Haochuan was completely dumbfounded. He had originally thought that the Lei Ze here in the Thunder Origin Realm would be similar to the one outside the Lei Tree People’s territory. Turns out, comparing the two was like comparing a puddle to an ocean—they weren’t even in the same league!

”What now? Should we head back?” Long Piaoying asked gravely.

This kind of monstrous lightning wasn’t something she could withstand, not even once.

”The Hellfire sect is already on our heels. Turning back means walking straight into death!” Ye Haochuan abandoned his usual carefree tone, replying in a deep voice, ”Besides, these lightning bolts are so quick we couldn’t escape even if we tried.”

”Then what do we do?”

”Charge through!”

With a decisive shout, Ye Haochuan grabbed Long Piaoying and charged forward at their fastest speed.

”Haha, do they really think they can outrun lightning? These two must’ve lost their minds!”

”I guess they’re like cornered rats trying to jump for their lives!”

Outside Lei Ze, the Hellfire cultivators stood watching with sneers, as if enjoying a show.

How could human speed possibly compete with lightning?

”We can’t make it! You go on ahead—I’ll hold off the lightning!” Long Piaoying suddenly declared.

”Forget it, just run!”

Ye Haochuan didn’t give Long Piaoying any chance to play the hero, holding tightly to her right hand and refusing to let go.

”But—”

Just as Long Piaoying was about to argue, a thunderous ”screeee!” sounded. A massive bolt of lightning as thick as a baby’s arm came crashing down.

”Damn it, it’s too late!” Despair filled Long Piaoying’s eyes. Even if she wanted to block the strike, there was no time to prepare now.

Just as she was full of regret and unwillingness, she suddenly heard Ye Haochuan shouting softly.

”Golden Bell Shield!”

As his words fell, a golden Brahma Bell materialized out of nowhere, enveloping the two in a protective barrier.

Ye Haochuan had deliberately refrained from using the Golden Bell Shield all this time, saving it for the direst moments. It was precisely because he had the shield that he dared to enter Lei Ze. As long as they could get through Lei Ze before the shield shattered, they wouldn’t die!

Bong~

The massive lightning bolt struck the Golden Bell Shield’s golden light barrier with a resounding crash. The light trembled violently before, moments later, breaking into fragments as it finally gave way under the immense power.

”Shit, how is it this strong?”

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly. The Golden Bell Shield was comparable to a full-strength attack from a Core Formation stage expert, yet it could only block a single lightning strike.

Staring ahead at the endless stretch of thunderclouds, Ye Haochuan’s heart truly sank.

One strike missed, and the thunderclouds seemed to grow furious. Within mere moments, they churned wildly, as if preparing to unleash an even fiercer wave of lightning attacks. Over a dozen lightning bolts flickered ominously within them.

Holy fuck, are they seriously not going to rest until I’m dead?

Ye Haochuan clenched his teeth tightly, forcing himself to stay as clear-headed as possible.

But what’s the point of clarity? He’d already used every available method—what more could he do now?

Then, out of nowhere, a figure suddenly flashed before his eyes and shielded him.

”Go, run!” It was Long Piaoying. It was clear that she intended to take the deadly strike herself to protect Ye Haochuan.

Run? Where the hell can I run to?

Ye Haochuan felt both frustrated and amused. Right now, they were in Lei Ze—was there any direction they could go and not die?

What else could he possibly use?

Ye Haochuan finally focused his attention fully on the items in his storage ring.

”Willow Leaf Sword? Useless!”

”Strange Fire King Cauldron? Doesn’t block lightning!”

”...”

In mere moments, Ye Haochuan had rummaged through his ring and scattered random items all over the ground.

”Hmm? What’s this?”

A single iron rod caught Ye Haochuan’s attention, but in the next moment, his face changed dramatically.

Holy crap, isn’t this the ’Lightning Avoidance Needle’ that Qinglei gave me? Except this thing is absurdly good at attracting lightning!

What made it worse was that Ye Haochuan was holding the ’Lightning Avoidance Needle’ in his hand at this very moment, with its pointed end aimed skyward.

Zap...

Zap...

Zap...

The thunderclouds, as if provoked by the ultimate insult, instantly unleashed dozens of lightning bolts that poured down in fury.

Alright, I guess I’m screwed anyway—might as well go out in style!

Out of options, Ye Haochuan finally gave up. Instead of putting the ’Lightning Avoidance Needle’ away, he raised it high above his head defiantly.

True to its reputation, the ’Lightning Avoidance Needle’s attraction capabilities were top-notch. Every single bolt of lightning converged onto the iron rod in a brilliant, blinding display...
