Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2249: Chapter 2249: The Hunt Begins

Gu Dewei and Gu Guangyi’s faces turned green as they saw their men being killed once again.

These people were the elites of the Gu Family, losing even one would cause a significant decline in the Gu Family’s strength.

”We can’t worry about so much right now. As long as we obtain the Medicine King Secret Treasure, we can make up for any losses!” Gu Dewei ruthlessly ordered the others to continue forward.

The others had no choice but to bravely press on.

Just as Ye Haochuan said, it was entirely left to luck; every time three people approached the box, one of them would definitely perish, which made everyone anxious.

In the end, even Gu Dewei and Gu Guangyi had to bravely advance, and Gu Dewei was rather unlucky as he encountered a Light Snake.

However, he had many methods and managed to block the Light Snake for half a second before being absorbed smoothly. Although he was injured, it was not life-threatening.

On the other side, after being absorbed by the white light, Ye Haochuan found himself in a narrow passageway that could only accommodate one person moving forward.

Ye Haochuan did not rush to move forward but used his Perspective Eyes to look around. However, the passage was made of some unknown material, and his Perspective Eyes could only see a hundred meters ahead, beyond which everything was obscured.

”No, it’s not that I can only see a hundred meters; it’s that there’s a barrier beyond a hundred meters that the Perspective Eyes cannot penetrate!” Ye Haochuan suddenly realized the issue and quickly picked up his pace.

Indeed, no matter how he advanced, his sight could not go beyond the position he had seen before.

Very soon, he arrived at a place where a barrier of Five Elements completely blocked his way.

Ye Haochuan summoned the Divine Concealment Sword and the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, exerting all his strength to attack, but couldn’t make the slightest move.

At a loss for what to do, a sudden danger approached from behind.

Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened, and the Divine Concealment Sword flew out instantly, rushing toward the source of the threat. At the same time, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth drew a light arc, stabbing urgently.

Clang clang~

The Divine Concealment Sword violently clashed with the assailant’s attack several times, completely neutralizing the ambush.

Then the Halberd of Heaven and Earth followed through, halting its tip precisely at the attacker’s throat.

The attacker swallowed hard, clearly not expecting to be subdued so swiftly.

After a moment of shock, he spoke with resolute determination, ”I thought you were the weakest, but surprisingly, you are among the strongest! Since I’m in your hands, do as you please!”

”If I wanted to kill you, why would I have saved you outside the Secret Realm in the first place?” Ye Haochuan replied with a calm smile, quickly retracting the Halberd of Heaven and Earth.

”You... you are my benefactor?”

The attacker, who was the first to enter, Xu He, was incredibly surprised to hear Ye Haochuan’s words.

Ye Haochuan nodded and revealed his true face.

Tears immediately welled up in Xu He’s eyes as he kneeled on the ground, sincerely saying, ”I have no way to repay the life-saving grace of my benefactor. I’ve been searching for you in vain. Now, the heavens have opened their eyes, allowing you to appear before me once more. From now on, I vow to follow you forever as an expression of my gratitude!”

”What are you doing?”

Ye Haochuan quickly helped Xu He up, saying, ”Meeting you is fate, and saving you was just an act of convenience, not expecting any repayment!”

Xu He replied firmly, ”Regardless, my life was saved by you, and henceforth, my life is yours.”

Seeing Xu He’s resolve, Ye Haochuan couldn’t say much more, so he just nodded slightly.

Xu He broke into a joyful expression, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed excitedly, ”Your medical skills are extraordinary. It seems the Medicine King Secret Treasure is heaven’s preparation for you!”

”Preparation for me, what do you mean?” Ye Haochuan asked, confused.

Xu He smiled and said, ”Those fools from the Gu Family think the Medicine King Secret Treasure contains some Magical Treasure, but in reality, it only contains a medical inheritance from the Medicine King!”

”How do you know that?” Ye Haochuan looked at him in surprise.

”When I opened the tomb entrance earlier, I read the information left behind by the Medicine King. I already suspected the Gu Family would betray me, so I didn’t say much!” Xu He said proudly.

”But getting the Medicine King’s inheritance won’t be easy. Without mentioning anything else, just the barrier in front is impassable!” Ye Haochuan said with a bitter look.

Xu He looked at the barrier and smiled calmly, ”You’ve overthought it. If the barrier is forcibly broken, it won’t yield. But in my hands, it’s child’s play!”

Saying this, he quickly moved forward, sat cross-legged, and applied the same technique he used to open the tomb entrance.

Soon, the barrier slowly dimmed.

”That’s an impressive technique!” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but praise.

Indeed, different skills excel in their own fields, and the barrier that troubled him was easily overcome by Xu He.

Xu He gave a sheepish smile and said, ”In reality, this isn’t a difficult technique, you just haven’t studied this area. If you’re willing to learn, I can teach it to you!”

”That sounds great!” Ye Haochuan smiled happily. As the saying goes, one can never have too many skills, and he was naturally willing to learn.

”Actually, there’s nothing dangerous inside the tomb. The biggest obstacle to obtaining the inheritance is the people of the Gu Family!” Xu He suddenly said.

”The people of the Gu Family?” Ye Haochuan’s eyes gradually turned cold.

He had no good opinion of the Gu Family; not only had they pursued him relentlessly, but just in recent days, Gu Dewei almost killed him several times.

Moreover, regarding the feud between Le Yao and the Gu Family, he naturally sided with Le Yao.

Le Yao had promised that if he destroyed the Gu Family, she would offer herself to him. That offer was very tempting.

”It’s just that the Gu Family has many people, making them hard to deal with!” Ye Haochuan said with a serious expression.

Xu He’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said, ”If you want to defeat them one by one, now is the perfect time!”

”What do you mean?” Ye Haochuan asked in confusion.

”You might not know, but the three teleportation gates outside are not set to specific destinations. Even if people enter through the same gate, they end up in separate passageways!”

Xu He explained excitedly, ”And the best part is, each passage’s end has a barrier like this. Those with slightly weaker abilities will be blocked by it. In this way, each passage is like a separate prison...”

”This...” Ye Haochuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The structure here was so conveniently made for him?

In fact, the Medicine King’s design aimed to eliminate those with insufficient cultivation at this checkpoint, inadvertently benefiting Ye Haochuan.

To further convince Ye Haochuan, Xu He even took him to look at another passage entrance.

Indeed, inside the barrier, a Mid-Stage True Immortal cultivator was frantically attacking the barrier. There was no sign of anyone else around him.

Ye Haochuan’s lips curled into a cold smile, ”The hunting game can begin now!”
