Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1083: Unknown Future (2nd Update)

Liu Jianyi never truly intended to cooperate with Ye Haochuan; traveling together all this way, he was waiting for this chance!

He waited for Ye Haochuan to lower his guard, planning to kill him and seize the pill!

For Ye Haochuan to casually give him a pill meant there must be more on him.

Liu Jianyi couldn’t resist the temptation and made his move at night.

Walking up to Ye Haochuan, Liu Jianyi unleashed a fierce palm strike aimed at Ye Haochuan’s head.

”What are you doing?!”

Zhu Qingshuang suddenly awoke, and in shock, rushed forward, sending a beam of light onto Liu Jianyi’s hand.

Liu Jianyi missed his strike and immediately frowned, quickly changing targets, intending to kill Zhu Qingshuang first with his sharp methods.

With his spiritual energy restored, Liu Jianyi could easily handle Zhu Qingshuang, who was at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, especially at such close distance, leaving Zhu Qingshuang no room to counterattack.

”Courting death!”

Ye Haochuan’s voice suddenly rang out as he leaped up, wielding the Divine Concealment Sword, and thrust it into Liu Jianyi’s back.

The moment Zhu Qingshuang’s voice sounded, Ye Haochuan had already awoken.

”Pfft!”

The Divine Concealment Sword pierced through Liu Jianyi’s body, his eyes widened, feeling a sweetness in his throat, as a burst of reverse blood surged out.

Ye Haochuan was furious: ”I gave you the pill to restore spiritual energy, and you repay me with betrayal!”

”Hehe...” Liu Jianyi sneered, ”Just one pill, how long would it last? Only by killing you both do I have a chance to survive!”

”Die, you bastard!” Ye Haochuan showed no mercy, with a shake of the Divine Concealment Sword, White Spirit Moxa Flame ignited on Liu Jianyi’s body.

He pulled out the Divine Concealment Sword and dealt a palm to send Liu Jianyi flying, allowing him to be engulfed by the White Spirit Moxa Flame.

Ye Haochuan hurried to grab Zhu Qingshuang’s hand, asking with concern: ”How are you, are you okay?”

Zhu Qingshuang shook her head: ”Luckily you acted in time.”

Ye Haochuan felt very guilty, because of his misjudgment, he nearly endangered Zhu Qingshuang.

Those dragged into the Desolate Realm came with the intent to kill them; how could they sincerely cooperate with the two of them?

Such a vile person is not worth plotting with!

With Liu Jianyi’s precedent, Ye Haochuan resolved to trust no one anymore, he would never let Zhu Qingshuang’s safety be threatened again.

Looking at the dark night, Ye Haochuan coldly declared: ”Since you pursue us for petty gains, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

After a night’s rest with Zhu Qingshuang, Liu Jianyi was reduced to just a pile of bones; Ye Haochuan took his storage ring, erased the imprint, and kept it as his own.

On the journey ahead, Ye Haochuan encountered two or three people, mercilessly exterminating them and seizing their belongings.

Although their storage rings did not hold anything suitable for Ye Haochuan, these spoils of war could be distributed to the Long Alliance members in the future, contributing to the foundation of the Long Alliance.

Moreover, in this closed world, no one would know who killed whom, so Ye Haochuan had no concern about facing Xuanmen’s punishment.

Half a day onward, Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang met a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, who wasn’t quite weak, seemingly replenishing spiritual energy with pills or similar.

Upon seeing Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang, the man immediately fled.

Ye Haochuan chased after him at once, while the man shouted: ”Face me one-on-one if you can!”

A one-on-one, your sister! Damn, why didn’t you say one-on-one when a whole group chased us down a few days ago?

”If you’ve got the guts, don’t run, I’ll give you a one-on-one opportunity!” Ye Haochuan shouted as he pursued him.

”You think I’m an idiot!”

”Idiot or not, you’re dead!” Ye Haochuan stepped into Mystifying Steps, quickly closing in with a sweeping sword strike.

”Boom!”

The sword light extended a hundred feet long, seemingly able to cleave through the void, carrying a terrifying aura.

The man was knocked to the ground by a fierce wave of Sword Qi, Ye Haochuan stepped forward and pointed, a golden beam shot through the air.

”Pop!”

A blood hole opened in the man’s brow, blood mixed with brain matter flowed out.

After killing this person, Ye Haochuan wiped the imprint off his storage ring, checking it and delighting to find a few pills!

In the Desolate Realm, the preciousness of pills was vividly displayed; cultivators with pills could maintain good condition, whereas without them, even at Foundation Establishment Peak, after a few days here, might be slain by a spiritual-energy-rich Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator.

Having slain this person, the two continued forward, encountering more people, whom Ye Haochuan showed no mercy, exterminating them one by one.

The collected spoils were varied, ranging from weapons and cultivation techniques to miraculous elixirs.

However, everyone had been here a long time, even those with pills had mostly consumed them, so the pills Ye Haochuan grabbed were not many, totaling under ten.

Besides, he encountered two Foundation Establishment Peak experts with strong abilities; Ye Haochuan consumed a lot of spiritual power to eliminate them, and he was injured.

On one hand, needing to heal, on the other, needing spiritual energy restoration, Ye Haochuan consumed a lot of pills.

But the Desolate Realm was too vast; in the following days, Ye Haochuan encountered no one, using up all seized pills and consuming his own as well.

”Haochuan, do you think we’ll die here?” They had walked a long time, but the surroundings still remained barren, with no end in sight, Zhu Qingshuang despaired.

”Perhaps, are you afraid?” At this moment, Ye Haochuan didn’t plan to offer comforting words; he was also prepared.

Zhu Qingshuang nodded: ”Afraid! I have imagined countless times the scene of my death, whether being hunted to death by Phantom Sound Pavilion or encountering some powerful demon beast... but I never thought I’d die in a barren world, from spiritual energy exhaustion.”

Ye Haochuan laughed: ”Yes, I also didn’t expect to die so despicably.”

Gazing at Ye Haochuan, Zhu Qingshuang spoke affectionately: ”However, I’m satisfied. Dying together with the person I love is its own kind of happiness.”

”Sigh...” Ye Haochuan sighed, ”I was hoping to have a bunch of children with you, alas, the heavens are jealous of talent, we’re too unlucky!”

Though seeing no hope, Ye Haochuan remained optimistic.

...

Who knows how many days passed in the desert; Ye Haochuan didn’t subconsciously keep track. He only knew that three days ago, his pill supply was exhausted.

These days he encountered other cultivators, mostly reduced to skeletons, with the few remaining barely hanging on.

This Desolate Realm is truly a deathtrap. With an uncertain future, Ye Haochuan, driven by inner determination, led Zhu Qingshuang forward. He believed that staying in one place meant certain death. As long as they kept moving forward, there was hope.
