Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1776: Chapter 1776: A Born Commander?

”Divine Concealment Sword, go!”

After attacking and killing Li Mei, Ye Haochuan did not relax in the slightest. Instead, he swiftly summoned the Divine Concealment Sword, sweeping towards Li Mei’s body.

”Ah~”

A wisp of gray mist, invisible to the ordinary eye, just emerged from Li Mei’s remains and was met head-on by the Divine Concealment Sword, instantly producing a series of sharp, eerie howls.

”This time, I won’t give you any chance to escape!” Ye Haochuan said with a cold sneer.

In their previous encounters, Li Mei had always managed to escape after being defeated, using an incomprehensible soul-escaping ability. This was precisely why Ye Haochuan preemptively summoned the Divine Concealment Sword.

Inherited from the Snow Edge Sword, the soul-intimidating ability of the Divine Concealment Sword is definitely a powerful weapon against souls.

”Ye Haochuan, do you really think that your little means of dealing with souls can hold me?” Li Mei’s cold voice suddenly came from within the gray mist.

Before the words had even settled, the gray mist suddenly exploded and scattered into the air.

”Divine Concealment Sword, stop him quickly!” Ye Haochuan said anxiously.

He couldn’t help but worry, for in the last encounter, Li Mei had escaped in the same manner. This bizarre method of escape was puzzling.

Li Mei was like an unkillable cockroach. If he were allowed to escape, who knew how much more trouble he would bring to Ye Haochuan next time.

”Don’t worry, master, it’s a piece of cake!”

The voice of the sword spirit echoed in Ye Haochuan’s mind. Then the Divine Concealment Sword swiftly flew through the air, piercing and spinning, compelling the vanished gray mist to reappear.

”How is this possible? How can there be such a formidable soul device?” Li Mei’s incredulous voice came from within the gray mist.

Ye Haochuan let out a long sigh of relief. The fact that Li Mei could not escape was indeed a joyous matter for him.

”Divine Concealment Sword, devour him!” Ye Haochuan ordered directly, not wanting any unexpected development from talking to Li Mei.

The Divine Concealment Sword chuckled excitedly at the command and then quickly inhaled the gray mist into its blade.

”I refuse, I refuse to accept it!” Li Mei cried out in despair.

”There’s nothing to refuse. After all, you are not the main character of this world!” Ye Haochuan chuckled, choosing to ignore him.

Moments later, a satisfying moan echoed from the sword spirit as Li Mei, this formidable enemy, finally vanished entirely.

With Li Mei gone, the previously oppressed morale of the Evil Sect crumbled into dust.

Many fled in all directions, seeking to escape with their lives.

Unfortunately, Ye Haochuan was not going to give them the slightest chance.

With the help of the Poison Bee King, in just over an hour, nearly eight thousand Evil Sect cultivators were completely annihilated.

Okao intended to surrender, but knowing the fickle nature of Dongying people, Ye Haochuan judged it was not genuine surrender and directly executed him to avoid future troubles.

Nobody voiced opposition to Ye Haochuan for killing surrendered enemies, knowing all too well they wouldn’t have spared Okao either.

Not to mention the mortal enemy status between Xuanmen and the Evil Sect, the calamities brought by Hellfire to the people of Huaxia over the years were enough to deserve his death by a thousand cuts.

Destroying nearly ten thousand of the Evil Sect in one battle was a legendary achievement. It’s known that even after the merger of the three Evil Sects, there were at most fifty thousand cultivators above the Foundation Establishment level. Losing nearly one-fifth is a devastating blow.

However, Ye Haochuan did not become complacent with this achievement as he knew it was not yet time for celebration.

The Evil Sect had come prepared, and the fighting capacity of their troops was exceptional. The Xuanmen were caught off guard, and although there were strong individuals like Yang Sen and Ye Hao, it was uncertain if they could easily resist.

The Phantom Sound Pavilion, a crucial part of the Xuanmen, although not having significant combat power on its own, could exponentially augment the combat strength when combined with the Ancient Martial Arts Sect and the Institute of Extensive Learning.

Therefore, the urgent task was to lead the members of the Phantom Sound Pavilion to join forces with Yang Sen and Ye Hao.

Ye Haochuan deeply understood the importance of swift military actions. The battlefield situation changes rapidly, with potential crises at every turn. Thus, he dared not waste a moment, swiftly instructing the cultivators of the Phantom Sound Pavilion to clean the battlefield and tally casualties.

Soon, the casualty report reached Ye Haochuan’s hands.

Following this battle, the Phantom Sound Pavilion’s five-thousand-strong team suffered nearly a thousand casualties. Among them, the most tragic losses were from the team of over three hundred led by Ye Haochuan, with fewer than thirty surviving the final assault.

Thankfully, even with such severe losses, they desperately protected Long Keyue, Yige, and others, ensuring the Genius Seven under Ye Haochuan’s command did not suffer significant harm.

Seeing the absence of familiar comrades and sisters, Zhu Qingshuang and the others couldn’t help but show sorrow on their faces.

”Alright, stop looking so gloomy!”

Ye Haochuan said sternly to the group, ”Think differently. It is precisely their sacrifice that led to our great victory, and this victory prevented the destruction of the Phantom Sound Pavilion. We should be happy, not weeping!”

This wasn’t because Ye Haochuan was heartless; as the saying goes, compassion doesn’t control troops. The next battle could commence at any moment, and he couldn’t allow his team to drown in sorrow, which would inevitably weaken their combat strength.

”Send the wounded back to the headquarters of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, then leave five hundred to guard this place. The rest, follow me out to the Sub-Xun Dimension Realm to join Director Yang and Sect Master Ye!”

Seeing the battlefield nearly tidied, Ye Haochuan immediately issued orders.

The Youlang Gorge had a treacherous terrain. With five hundred guarding it, even ten thousand from the Evil Sect couldn’t easily pass through.

This time they were heading out, unable to keep guarding the entrance of the Sub-Xun Dimension Realm. If they left and the Evil Sect attacked, these five hundred would be sufficient to ensure the Phantom Sound Pavilion’s safety.

After making arrangements, Zhu Qingshuang watched Ye Haochuan blankly. Suddenly realizing that he exuded the commanding presence of an exceptional leader—calm and confident.

”Could this be a natural commander? What exactly can’t this guy do?” Zhu Qingshuang wondered inwardly, surprisingly feeling a sense of jealousy toward Ye Haochuan.

Of course, Ye Haochuan wasn’t omnipotent; for instance, artifact refining and formation crafting were not his strengths. Nevertheless, that did not diminish his dazzling brilliance, destined to attract all eyes.

”That bastard, he survived again! Those damn Poison Bees, one day I’ll burn you all!” Behind a large boulder, Ye Yan crushed a rock in his hand, eyes full of resentment.

”Master, what were you doing just now?” Ye Hai suddenly walked over, suspicion clouding his face.

Ye Yan’s gaze faltered slightly but quickly composed himself, snorting, ”I told you I went to relieve myself, what else could I do? You brat want to rebel? You even want to manage when I pee?”

”I’m afraid not!” Ye Hai slightly bowed his head.

”Afraid is good!” Ye Yan snorted, ”Let’s go...”

Before finishing his words, Ye Yan suddenly moved, grabbing Ye Hai by the neck.

Ye Hai’s cultivation was much lower than Ye Yan’s and caught off guard, was easily seized by the throat.

”Master, what are you doing?”

”You shouldn’t have, above all, doubted me! What I did today cannot be known by anyone, not even if you’ve been following me for decades!”

A touch of coldness flashed in Ye Yan’s eyes, and with a forceful grip, he crushed Ye Hai’s neck to powder.

”Rest assured, I’ll say you were a martyr sacrificed in the battle against the Evil Sect. Your wife and children will be well taken care of!”
