Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 979: Chapter 978: Switching Beams and Pillars (4 Updates)

”Immortal Aunt, please don’t act on impulse!” Ye Haochuan said with a bitter expression.

”He’s right. They’re rare talents of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. If they die like this, it’ll be a huge loss for the sect!” Long Piaoying said sternly. ”Besides, have you forgotten the Xuanmen Life-Saving Order? If we can’t successfully get them out, we won’t escape the sect’s punishment either!”

What the heck, this Xuanmen Life-Saving Order is way too overbearing!

Ye Haochuan’s face turned pale green. If he had known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have saved these two living ancestors no matter what.

”How about I go divert them?” Zhu Tian suddenly stepped forward and suggested.

”Forget it, I’ll go instead!” Ye Haochuan said helplessly.

Although Zhu Tian was at Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, in terms of combat power, he was absolutely no match for Ye Haochuan. Moreover, Ye Haochuan had a life-saving technique like the Golden Bell Shield in hand, so his survival chances were undoubtedly higher than Zhu Tian’s.

”Alright, there’s no time to waste, let’s go together!” Long Piaoying suddenly said. ”With me alongside you, I absolutely won’t let you die that easily. Besides, if it’s just you alone, it’ll easily arouse their suspicion.”

Ye Haochuan was so moved he almost cried. This Immortal Aunt, though usually cold, was truly heartwarming at critical moments!

”I’ll go too!” Ji Yun suddenly said. ”Three people together will make it look more convincing.”

”No! Ji Yun, you need to stay behind to protect us!” Ji Tianyu suddenly said coldly.

Currently, among them, Ji Yun was the only one left from the Ji family. He would not allow the Ji family to abandon him again, no matter what.

”Young Master Yu, they’ve already taken tremendous risks to save us. I can’t let them venture into danger alone again,” Ji Yun said firmly. ”Besides, with me along, they’ll believe the ones escaping are you two.”

At this, Ji Tianyu finally relented.

”You two, I’m entrusting the two young masters to you. Please, make sure to get them safely out of the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm!” Ji Yun bowed deeply to Zhu Qingshuang and Zhu Tian before turning to leave.

Zhu Qingshuang didn’t respond but instead stared at Ye Haochuan with a complicated expression. This farewell might truly be the difference between life and death. Suddenly, an intense sense of reluctance filled her heart, even accompanied by a faint ache.

”How about I go instead?” Even Zhu Qingshuang herself didn’t know why she said such a thing. She hadn’t finished speaking before her face flushed deeply as if blood would drip.

”What kind of nonsense is that? My vitality is much stronger than yours!” Ye Haochuan felt warm inside and smiled. ”Besides, I won’t let my woman take risks for me.”

Zhu Qingshuang, unexpectedly, didn’t make any rebuttal. She simply bowed her head silently.

After speaking, Long Piaoying and Ye Haochuan changed into the Ji brothers’ clothes. Looking at them from behind, it wasn’t easy to tell they were imposters.

When the three walked out of the cave, they saw that the Hellfire people were not far from it. If it weren’t separated by a mountain ridge, they would’ve already been spotted.

”Looks like we have no choice but to use sword control; otherwise, they’ll definitely see through us!” Ji Yun said with a grim expression.

At these words, Ye Haochuan staggered and cursed internally. Damn it, using sword control in the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm? That’s practically a death sentence!

Still, Ye Haochuan knew this was the only option. At this short distance, if they didn’t use sword control, they’d surely be exposed at a glance.

Clenching his teeth and stomping his foot, the three of them respectively summoned their Flying Swords and shot into the sky.

”Look! They’re over there!”

The moment Ye Haochuan and the others flew out, they were spotted by Hellfire cultivators.

Yamamoto Shin suddenly felt a tinge of doubt, but the urgency of the situation left no room for thought. Seeing the three who looked like Ji family escapees, he immediately commanded, ”Sword control, pursue them!”

”Damn, these guys are nuts!”

Watching the Hellfire members move without hesitation to chase using sword control, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curse.

”They’re Dead Soldiers, of course they aren’t afraid of death!” Ji Yun said solemnly.

Ye Haochuan suddenly understood. This group dared to openly assassinate the Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s talents in the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm—they must’ve already prepared for sacrifice. Even if they succeeded, there was no way they could escape the realm.

”Bad news! They’re catching up!” Long Piaoying exclaimed in alarm, watching the dark dots behind them draw closer.

”Damn it, why are they so fast?” Ye Haochuan’s face was equally grim.

Their escape route headed toward the Lei Tree People’s territory. Ye Haochuan originally thought that once they reached the Lei Tree People’s domain, they’d be completely safe.

However, looking at the current situation, they clearly didn’t have time to get that far.

”It’s not that they’re too fast; it’s that our cultivation is too low, and our speed insufficient!” Long Piaoying said in frustration.

Long Piaoying, being Foundation Establishment Late Stage, couldn’t match the speed of Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators. Not to mention Ye Haochuan, who was a burden—it was only a matter of time before they were caught.

”I’ll stay behind to hold them off; you two go on!” Ji Yun suddenly offered amidst the tense moment.

”If you go back now, it’s absolute suicide!” Ye Haochuan said coldly.

”I, Ji Yun, should have died alongside my brothers in the first place—what is there to fear?” Ji Yun suddenly laughed. ”You two, encountering us by chance yet willingly saving my family’s young masters, I owe you my thanks!”

”Now that we’ve drawn the Hellfire members this far, I believe the young masters have already seized the chance to escape. You don’t need to die for the Ji family anymore. I’ll handle them—make the most of your time and get away!”

There was no doubt Ji Yun was a man of loyalty and honor, far more virtuous than the Ji brothers themselves.

”Maybe we can think of another solution?” Ye Haochuan said reluctantly.

”There’s no time. This is the only way I can repay your kindness. Take care!”

With that, Ji Yun resolutely charged toward the Hellfire members.

”That guy... truly courageous and steadfast,” Ye Haochuan sighed.

”Let’s go, we can’t let his death go to waste!” Long Piaoying quickly reminded.

The two immediately composed themselves and continued their desperate escape.

Meanwhile, Ji Yun had already engaged the Hellfire members in combat.

”Heavenly Mandate Slash!” Upon clashing, Ji Yun unleashed his strongest killing move.

”Mystic Armor Shield!” Yamamoto Shin quickly summoned a shield, blocking Ji Yun’s attack entirely.

The failed strike deepened Ji Yun’s frown.

With his strongest move ineffective, Ji Yun couldn’t quickly reorganize a stronger offense. After dozens of exchanges, his injuries grew increasingly severe.

Facing imminent death, Ji Yun gritted his teeth and detonated his Dantian.

Having suffered twice from self-detonations previously, Yamamoto Shin was highly alert. The moment he noticed Ji Yun’s odd behavior, he ordered an immediate retreat.

In the end, Ji Yun’s self-detonation only caused minor casualties among low-level cultivators—not making much impact overall.

”Pursue them!”

Seeing Ji Yun, Yamamoto Shin grew even more convinced that the ones who escaped were the Ji brothers. He promptly led his men in chase.
