Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1083: Chapter 1082 Cooperation (Part 1)

As Ye Haochuan was diving down, a strange melody suddenly resonated in his ears, causing his movements to slow down and his mind to become somewhat clouded.

”What’s happening?” Ye Haochuan was startled, feeling like he was dreaming. He wanted to move quickly, but his body couldn’t keep up with his thoughts, his actions sluggish and seemingly out of control.

”Hahaha...”

Suddenly, Du Meixue’s voice flooded his ears from all directions, causing the world around Ye Haochuan to spin, leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

”Come and kill me! Come and kill me! Hahaha...”

Du Meixue’s voice echoed again, yet Ye Haochuan could only hear her voice without any clue of her whereabouts.

He kept shaking his head fervently, trying to calm and stabilize himself, but the effect was minimal.

”Ah!”

Ye Haochuan felt a surge in his head, a moment of impending explosion, leading him to let out a furious roar and wildly swing his Divine Concealment Sword.

Sword Qi shot out everywhere, startling Zhu Qingshuang, who saw a sword qi slicing through the air and quickly retreated with her ancient zither.

”Damn it!”

Zhu Qingshuang noticed Ye Haochuan was floating mid-air, eyes unfocused, shaking his head and swinging his sword aimlessly. She guessed he had fallen under Du Meixue’s charm sound technique!

She immediately sat cross-legged, gathering spiritual energy, and after a moment, played a melody.

The melody pierced through layer after layer of barriers, directly entering Ye Haochuan’s brow.

Suddenly, Ye Haochuan felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over him, clearing his mind instantly, stopping his reckless sword swinging.

Yet, Zhu Qingshuang’s ability could only aid him up to this point.

”Haochuan, you’ve been affected by Du Meixue’s charm sound technique. I can only help you guard your spiritual platform and regain clarity. To fully break free, you must rely on yourself!”

These words from Zhu Qingshuang were transmitted to his mind; Ye Haochuan didn’t ask further because no one would answer. This message transmission was one-way.

”Impressive, I unknowingly fell under the charm technique. No wonder she’s one of the ten charms of Phantom Sound!”

High in the air, Ye Haochuan closed his eyes, while Zhu Qingshuang temporarily defended him against the giant beast’s assault.

Du Meixue had to split her focus between casting charm techniques on Ye Haochuan and controlling the giant beast, thus unable to easily deal with Zhu Qingshuang’s killing tone.

Suddenly, Ye Haochuan’s eyes snapped open, white flames burst forth from his body, with arcs of lightning swirling around him. He let out a furious roar, lifted the Divine Concealment Sword, and slashed through the air!

”Boom!”

Sword Qi soared into the sky, slashing the space apart. The surrounding giant beasts shattered and were annihilated into nothingness.

Du Meixue felt a shock through her entire body, instantly sent flying backwards.

Ye Haochuan broke through Du Meixue’s charm sound technique, wielded his sword, and walked towards her, executing the seven-stage flying rainbow attack.

The sword light glowed like a rainbow, carrying a destructive aura, crashing down onto Du Meixue.

”Pfft!”

Du Meixue immediately coughed up blood, a long gash carved into her body, shocking and horrendous.

Because she was injured by Ye Haochuan, Du Meixue’s defense was compromised, and she was also struck by Zhu Qingshuang’s melody.

Before she could recover, a sword qi whistled through her body, leaving a blood hole from which blood flowed freely.

Du Meixue was taken aback, her face turning pale. She hadn’t expected Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang to have such abundant spiritual energy after dwelling in the Desolate Realm for so long!

Originally, Du Meixue knew her chances against Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang weren’t great, yet she prided herself on her ample spiritual energy and peak state. She didn’t expect Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang to be in equally prime condition.

Ye Haochuan’s explosive power was astonishing, injuring her severely with just two attacks.

”I gave you a chance, yet you chose not to cherish it but to act arrogantly towards me. Since you wish to seek death, I’ll grant it!”

Ye Haochuan looked at Du Meixue with disdain, closing in step by step.

”Heh heh...” Du Meixue sneered, ”You’ve truly surprised me, but to kill me, you’re still not qualified!”

With that, Du Meixue turned to flee.

Ye Haochuan immediately used Mystifying Steps to pursue, but Du Meixue’s speed was too swift. Even with Mystifying Steps, there was a noticeable gap compared to Du Meixue of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

What the hell! You sounded so arrogant, I thought you had some big move left unused, but in the end, you just ran away?

Watching Du Meixue’s disappearing figure, Ye Haochuan also felt somewhat helpless; what could he do?

This was a current weakness against stronger opponents at the Foundation Establishment Peak level; even though his combat power was formidable, if a Foundation Establishment Peak expert chose to flee, he truly had limited options.

”Qingshuang, are you okay?” After Du Meixue fled, Ye Haochuan asked Zhu Qingshuang.

Zhu Qingshuang put away the Red Moon Ancient Zither and said, ”I’m fine, just expended some spiritual energy.”

Ye Haochuan said, ”This crazy woman, I don’t know what’s wrong with her. As soon as we met, it was a fight to the death. I was planning to cooperate with her to find a way out sooner. Now it seems we’ll have to think of another way.”

After this brief interlude, the two continued forward.

Amidst the vast sandy desert, they traveled for another day. During this day, they encountered several Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivators, but they were all extremely weak, virtually on the brink of departing this world.

Since spiritual power was continuously being consumed, many of those cultivators couldn’t hold on. Not everyone had numerous pills like Ye Haochuan to restore spiritual energy.

Ahead, a line of footprints suddenly appeared, and Ye Haochuan and his companions quickly followed, discovering it was Liu Jianyi, Patriarch of the Liu Family.

Liu Jianyi had also consumed considerable spiritual energy in recent days, appearing quite weak at the moment. Upon seeing Ye Haochuan and his companion, he became alert and ready for battle.

”Don’t be nervous; we’re not going to eat you,” Ye Haochuan said. ”Since we’re all in the Desolate Realm together, let’s set aside our grudges for now and figure a way out first.”

Noticing Ye Haochuan and his companion’s abundant spiritual energy, Liu Jianyi, knowing he couldn’t outmatch them, responded immediately, ”Cooperating is fine, but if you genuinely mean it, tell me how you’re recovering your spiritual energy first.”

Ye Haochuan thought for a moment, then took out a pill and handed it to Liu Jianyi, saying, ”Take it; it will restore quite a bit of your spiritual energy.”

Liu Jianyi, half-skeptical, swallowed the pill. He had suspected it might be poison, but given the current situation, he wouldn’t survive much longer even if he didn’t take it.

Indeed, after ingesting the pill, Liu Jianyi was pleasantly surprised to find his internal spiritual energy rapidly recovering. Ye Haochuan asked, ”Do you have any leads on how to get out?”

Liu Jianyi shook his head, saying, ”I know very little about the Desolate Realm and haven’t found any useful clues yet.”

The three traveled together and soon night fell. Having walked the entire day, they were exhausted and decided to rest for the night in their current location.

At night, the desert remained unbearably hot, but Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang were indeed quite tired, quickly falling asleep.

However, Liu Jianyi harbored ill intentions, pretending to sleep with his eyes closed. Waiting until midnight, he suddenly got up and walked towards Ye Haochuan.
