Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1178: Chapter 1177: You’re Very Strong! (1st Update)

The masked man’s speed was simply too fast. Ye Haochuan tried several times to use his cultivation technique, but before he could, the masked man’s attacks arrived, forcing Ye Haochuan to abandon the attempt and quickly defend.

After barely parrying four or five attacks, Ye Haochuan found himself in dire straits. Since he began his cultivation, he had never felt so constrained, unable to even use his technique.

”Not bad, you’re the first to counter so many moves at the Foundation Establishment Stage!” the masked man laughed heartily.

Ye Haochuan didn’t reply; at this moment he was barely able to cope with the masked man’s attacks, not daring to lose focus.

The masked man gave him not the slightest respite, each move as fast as lightning, each better than the last. Even without using any cultivation techniques, he made Ye Haochuan’s situation more precarious than ever.

This won’t do, I’ll be dead for sure like this!

Ye Haochuan quickly calculated in his mind, then gritted his teeth and took a kick from the masked man, finally managing to summon the Imperial Seal Grand Cauldron.

Puff~

Hidden inside the cauldron, Ye Haochuan immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Although the cauldron was summoned, that kick broke several ribs and caused internal injuries.

Really don’t know if this risky move was a loss or gain.

Ye Haochuan didn’t have time to ponder such things, quickly swallowing a healing pill as he hurriedly activated his Perspective Eyes to look outside.

Outside the cauldron, the masked man showed no intention of retreating, suddenly leaping and using the halberd to smash directly at the Imperial Seal Grand Cauldron.

Clang~

A muffled sound rang out, and the Imperial Seal Grand Cauldron instantly dented, all three legs smashed into the ground.

Damn, where did this monster come from, so violently brutal?

Ye Haochuan was shocked; the Imperial Seal Grand Cauldron, after all, was a Peak Spirit Instrument, yet it got dented without even using a technique!

The masked man was relentless, no pause after a strike; a second strike followed smoothly.

Ye Haochuan dared not let him hit again; otherwise, the Imperial Seal Grand Cauldron would definitely become scrap metal.

Fortunately, as the cauldron parried one more strike, Ye Haochuan finally had time to prepare a cultivation technique.

”Ascension Formation!”

With a loud dragon roar, the Divine Concealment Sword led countless sword blades, transforming into an imposing dragon, roaring towards the masked man.

The masked man remained undeterred, continuing his simple yet domineering halberd attack.

Boom~

The halberd and dragon collided, the once imposing dragon suddenly whimpered and dissipated.

The masked man wasn’t unaffected, retreating several steps before stabilizing himself. But in the next instant, his feet suddenly tensed, and he dashed out again.

At that moment, Ye Haochuan suddenly understood.

The masked man had never used a single cultivation technique; it wasn’t that he was holding back, he simply couldn’t. All his attacks came in seemingly ordinary moves.

Ye Haochuan didn’t know how he practiced such a radical attack style, but clearly, it was extremely dangerous.

The Black Bear used similar techniques before, but it was different from the masked man. The Black Bear didn’t lack techniques; all were used as auxiliaries. The strongest killing move was his fist.

Yet the masked man hadn’t even used auxiliary techniques, still remarkably formidable. Ye Haochuan was almost certain this masked man was unbeatable at the same level.

However, Ye Haochuan discovered his weakness. No matter how strong his attacks, without auxiliary techniques, his attack method was exceedingly monotonous.

If he could prevent his opponent from using techniques, he would win for sure. But once the opponent used techniques, he would be in grave danger.

The masked man was eager to attack now, not giving Ye Haochuan the opportunity to generate another technique. But apparently, he was already too late.

”Collapsing Mountain Strike!”

Ye Haochuan swung a punch, yet the masked man continued attacking instead of defending, getting pushed back half a step again. As he came forth, Ye Haochuan’s next technique arrived.

”Sword Falling, Stars Extinguishing!”

”Sword Breaking the Sky!”

”...”

Ye Haochuan’s techniques were unleashed continuously, exhausting the masked man in response. Ye Haochuan, initially at a disadvantage, gradually took control of the battle.

”Good opportunity!”

Ye Haochuan seized an opportunity when the masked man’s posture staggered, quickly unleashing his most powerful attack.

”Sword Flash!”

The Divine Concealment Sword flashed red, merging with Ye Haochuan, and his figure abruptly vanished, leaving not even an afterimage due to his speed.

With this strike, Ye Haochuan completely defeated Liu Chengyu and Senior Brother Jin. Its power was evident.

But this time, Ye Haochuan made a misstep.

When he reappeared, instead of being behind the masked man, he was facing him.

”How could this be?”

Ye Haochuan was astonished, never imagining there would be a cultivator of similar strength who could face off against Sword Flash.

Indeed, at the moment Ye Haochuan unleashed Sword Flash, the masked man’s seemingly simple diagonal chop precisely intercepted the tip of the Divine Concealment Sword.

His attack speed could actually rival that of Sword Flash!

Ye Haochuan’s understanding of the masked man reached a new level. But now in the midst of battle, it was evidently no time for reflection.

He quickly retreated, attempting to distance himself from the masked man. Engaging in close combat with the masked man was courting death.

The masked man did not pursue, retreating the halberd to the ground, his face immediately pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Clearly, while he managed to intercept the strike, he did not come out unscathed. Without techniques, he relied solely on robust physique to endure the fierce impact.

”You’re strong!” the masked man suddenly spoke.

”You’re strong too!” Ye Haochuan replied calmly.

This wasn’t mere politeness; it was Ye Haochuan’s sincere admiration. At least until now, he had never seen a cultivator whose speed and strength matched the masked man’s.

”To have such combat prowess at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, you will likely become a leading figure in Xuanmen shortly. Seems I came to kill you by mistake!” The masked man reflected.

Ye Haochuan shrugged his shoulders and said, ”If you tell me who sent you, we might even become friends.”

”Perhaps!” The masked man shook his head and said, ”But as an assassin, betraying an employer would be highly unprofessional!”

Ye Haochuan frowned upon hearing this, suddenly recalling Skywolf Kill, the only assassin organization he knew in Huaxia.

”I admit I can’t kill you, so I’ll voluntarily abandon this mission. I advise you not to try and keep me here; you know you lack the ability!”

The masked man suddenly retracted the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, nodded to Ye Haochuan, and said: ”Farewell! Maybe next time we meet, we might indeed become friends!”
