Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2184: Chapter 2184: True Immortal Peak?

Xu Linglan was still a bit dazed by the sudden change before her eyes.

But in the next moment, Ye Haochuan’s figure suddenly appeared in front of her, only a few inches away. No matter from which direction one looked, the two appeared to be in an embrace.

Xu Linglan was not particularly tall; her forehead just reached Ye Haochuan’s mouth.

Ye Haochuan’s heart fluttered immediately, recalling the frenzied battle with Xu Linglan earlier, his mind surged with emotions, and he couldn’t help but pull Xu Linglan into his arms, his lips naturally landing on her forehead.

For some reason, Xu Linglan did not evade. It wasn’t until she felt the warmth on her forehead that she seemed to suddenly wake up, pushing Ye Haochuan away, her pretty face already flushed red.

”You... broke the formation?” Xu Linglan did not blame Ye Haochuan, instead, she spoke incredulously.

”Of course, a mere small formation, how could it stump me?” Ye Haochuan said with self-satisfaction.

At this moment, the Soul Beast beside them, its jaw nearly on the ground, said blankly: ”Impossible, this was a second-grade peak formation, how could it have been broken by a cultivator who hasn’t even reached the True Immortal Realm?”

”Because, I’m also an Array Master!” Ye Haochuan said with a boastful smile.

”Array... Master?” The Soul Beast looked at Ye Haochuan in disbelief and said, ”Even as an Array Master, with your cultivation, it shouldn’t be possible to reach the level of a second-grade peak formation, right?”

Ye Haochuan smiled calmly, offering no further explanation.

Xu Linglan looked at Ye Haochuan again, unable to dispel the shock from her eyes.

So young, not only powerful in strength but also an extraordinary Pill Master, and even an Array Master; is he even human?

Indeed, he is the most outstanding Asian I have ever seen... no, there are very few Sons of Heaven like him in the whole world.

It’s just a pity that I was a step too late...

Xu Linglan’s expression gradually turned complicated before she ultimately sighed helplessly.

Ye Haochuan quickly put away his sense of accomplishment and walked towards the second gate.

Xu Linglan quickly scooped up Little Yishu and hurried to follow.

Only the Soul Beast continued to persuade Ye Haochuan not to take risks, but Ye Haochuan ignored it.

Passing the location of the second gate, the surroundings suddenly became scorching hot.

Soon, a red-white flame filled their view, its temperature extremely high.

”Be careful!” Ye Haochuan turned to look at Xu Linglan, reminding her.

Upon saying this, they both almost simultaneously activated a protective shield to block out the flames.

The middle-aged Soul Body, being weaker in strength, stayed with Ye Haochuan. As for the Soul Beast, due to being injured by Ye Haochuan earlier, it appeared rather weakened, sticking close to Xu Linglan.

Ye Haochuan led the way, discovering that the flames were becoming more intense; suddenly, with a cracking sound, his protective shield was burned through.

Talk about combat power, Ye Haochuan could rival True Immortal Experts, but the level of his protective shield was at most at the Immortal Transformation Peak level.

The protective shield was destroyed, and the blazing flames instantly enveloped Ye Haochuan and the middle-aged Soul Body.

In just the blink of an eye, Ye Haochuan felt as if his skin was almost completely burned.

Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened, and he quickly summoned the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame to surround himself, forcing the white flame away.

The white flame seemed provoked, continuously lunging at the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame.

The Purple Lotus Spirit Flame carried significant power, yet facing the white flame, it appeared somewhat weaker. Were it not for Ye Haochuan’s forceful support with Flower Energy, it might have already been overwhelmed.

Ye Haochuan breathed a brief sigh of relief, but then heard a shout by his ear: ”Mr. Ye, help me with the ring...”

Ye Haochuan hurriedly followed the sound and saw that the middle-aged Soul Body had already been burned clean.

”It was me... who harmed you!” Ye Haochuan showed a hint of guilt on his face.

”It’s not your fault, you were hard-pressed to protect yourself!” Xu Linglan consoled.

What Xu Linglan said actually made sense; Ye Haochuan indeed did not do it intentionally, and he had not interacted much with that middle-aged soul, not close enough to be familiar. But having traveled the path together, the sudden loss naturally felt somewhat sorrowful.

With a somber expression, Xu Linglan asked seriously, ”Let’s not worry about him for now. What should we do next?”

Suppressing his feelings for the moment, Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Eyes to look ahead and said, ”We’re not far from the third gate now, let’s go have a look!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Linglan didn’t say anything further, and followed Ye Haochuan over.

The third great gate was wholly crimson, like it was on fire, the intense heat could be felt just by approaching it.

However, on that gate, there was a noticeable sword mark, cutting open a corner of the gate.

”Impressive!” Ye Haochuan marveled at the smooth cut.

With his sharp eyes, he could naturally discern that a second-grade Heavenly Fire Array covered the gate. Though this Heavenly Fire Array’s boundary was not as high as the Immortal Binding Array on the second gate, it still reached the late stage of the second grade.

Moreover, unlike the Immortal Binding Array, which only trapped people, the Heavenly Fire Array’s formidable destructive power made it far more dangerous than the Immortal Binding Array.

Before them, the array had clearly been broken by that single sword strike, possessing only a trace of remaining power, yet its might was still formidable, putting Ye Haochuan in constant peril.

It was evident that if the formation had been intact, they would not have been able to reach this point.

Ye Haochuan dared not even hope to break this array, as the Heavenly Fire Array would not wait patiently for him to slowly find the formation foundation and craft elements to counter it.

If the array itself was so formidable, how terrifyingly powerful must the person who broke it with a single sword strike be?

”Over the years, how many people have entered this underground palace?” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but ask.

The Soul Beast pondered for a while and replied: ”In total, four people, one of whom had reached the True Immortal Peak level of cultivation. I suppose that sword strike came from him!”

”True Immortal Peak?” Ye Haochuan was shocked and hurriedly asked, ”Did he take anything from inside?”

The Soul Beast shook its head and said: ”After that guy went in, he never came out, I suppose he died inside?”

Hiss~

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Even experts at the True Immortal Peak died inside; just how formidable are the challenges behind this underground palace?

And not even mentioning what lies ahead, just the Entrapment Formation before, and the current Heavenly Fire Array, were enough to chill anyone’s heart.

During the Entrapment Formation, Ye Haochuan didn’t feel the impact so deeply, as he was the only one trapped. But seeing this Heavenly Fire Array, his heart sank.

If the Heavenly Fire Array were still intact, what they triggered earlier wouldn’t have been a small burst of heat, but a sky of blazing fire.

Ye Haochuan didn’t know if he could make it through. Even Xu Linglan couldn’t guarantee reaching this point, let alone while carrying Little Yishu.

The light barrier around Little Yishu could certainly block some damage, but in the face of this level of Heavenly Fire, ultimately, it would be a path to certain death.

”Should we retreat?” Initially, Xu Linglan was somewhat hesitant, but now she thoroughly intended to give up.
