Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2304: Chapter 2304: Soul Chasing Arrow—An Arrow That Chases the Soul

Ye Haochuan’s exhaustion wasn’t fake. Although it seemed like he hadn’t done much during the battle, in reality, he did no less than Tang Yucheng.

Ye Haochuan was even a bit envious of Tang Yucheng. A formidable Fierce Fire Vajra Ape appeared, looking incredibly imposing, directly exchanging blow for blow. How exhilarating!

Unlike him, jumping around like a flea, constantly worried about being stomped to death by the giant Seven-Tailed Demon Fox.

Fortunately, this expectation won’t take long to realize. Once he fuses with the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s Essence Blood, the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi, his most brilliant cultivation technique, will also become powerful.

Tang Yucheng was quite happy to land the finishing blow.

The Fierce Fire Vajra Ape’s shadow slightly condensed, then leapt fiercely, swinging its huge club at the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox.

Although the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox withstood that blow, it actually didn’t fare well, suffering varying degrees of injuries on its seven tails, plus the injury on its abdomen. It definitely couldn’t withstand this strike.

The Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s intelligence was already quite high, and it clearly recognized the reality. Somehow, it mustered the strength, pushed off rapidly with four legs, and its huge body adeptly dodged the strike, swiftly... ran away!

”Damn, what speed!” Tang Yucheng missed his strike, and upon looking again, the figure of the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox had already run several miles, prompting a crude exclamation.

They did indeed forget that the Demon Fox’s greatest strength lay not in attack or defense but in speed.

”What now? After all that fighting, if it gets away, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?” Tang Yucheng looked at Ye Haochuan with a pained expression.

It wasn’t just him; even Ye Haochuan could only look on in vain at such speed.

The Ghostly Thunder Escape Art is indeed fast, but the consumption is equally significant. Pursuing over a short distance is feasible, but to compete with the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox in speed and stamina would be suicidal.

”This is a treasure, we can’t let it escape no matter what!”

Ye Haochuan’s expression turned serious as if he made a firm decision. He took out the Black Phoenix Soul Extinguishing Bow and an arrow, quickly nocking and releasing it.

This time, no Ghost Shadow Black Phoenix phantom appeared. The speeding arrow seemed quite ordinary, except for its astonishing velocity.

Almost as soon as it was released, the distant Seven-Tailed Demon Fox fell to the ground with a wail, its life force vanishing instantly.

”Whoa, didn’t you say that bow couldn’t be used again for a while? Aren’t you afraid of damaging it by playing with it like that?” Tang Yucheng asked with a nervous look at the Black Phoenix Soul Extinguishing Bow.

”I only activated ten percent of the bow’s power. The real killing blow was that arrow!” Ye Haochuan explained, still visibly pained.

The Black Phoenix Soul Extinguishing Bow indeed couldn’t launch another full-power attack, so Ye Haochuan had no choice but to use the Soul Chasing Arrow.

These two magical treasures seemed naturally paired: the one-tenth power of the Black Phoenix Soul Extinguishing Bow greatly enhanced the Soul Chasing Arrow’s power, achieving utmost speed.

However, there were only three Soul Chasing Arrows in total, and using one like this, how could he not feel pained?

”Oh well, the value of the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox is still higher than the Soul Chasing Arrow!” Ye Haochuan consoled himself, feeling slightly better.

Tang Yucheng’s mouth twitched stiffly as he sighed inwardly, ”Damn, this is true wealth! Considering the arrow’s power, it is at least a Peak Immortal Artifact, just used like that?”

The value of the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox was indeed considerable, but it was hard to say it was much higher than a Peak Immortal Artifact. Besides, the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox could only be sold for money, while the arrow was clearly a life-saving magical treasure, not easily purchasable even with money.

He didn’t know Ye Haochuan’s purpose for the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s Essence Blood, hence he felt it a bit unrewarding for him.

In reality, no matter how powerful the Soul Chasing Arrow was, it was merely a consumable. If the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi could be upgraded, that would truly enhance one’s strength, which was why Ye Haochuan considered it worthwhile.

The two quickly arrived at the spot where the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox fell, surprisingly finding its body intact, with only a finger-sized hole in its head, still bleeding.

”One shot to the kill, maybe the Spirit Core is still intact!” Tang Yucheng exclaimed with delight, quickly taking out a short magical knife to examine the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s head.

Ye Haochuan, scanning with his Perspective Eyes, had already determined that the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s Spirit Core was indeed intact.

The Spirit Core, something Demon Beasts would usually self-destruct when dying to prevent it from falling into others’ hands, could only be obtained by killing the Demon Beast instantaneously. Hence, it was quite rare.

Still ignoring the Spirit Core, Ye Haochuan directly moved to the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s abdomen, using the Divine Concealment Sword to make an incision, not caring about the gore, and reached his hand inside.

Thump, thump~

The place his hand reached was still beating.

It was the heart of the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox. Due to the fatal head injury, the heart continued to work from inertia.

Although it could only work for a few more minutes, that was enough.

The heart still beating indicated that the blood was still circulating, with moving blood naturally being more valuable than stagnant blood.

Ye Haochuan quickly infused Dragon Origin Essence Qi into the heart, instantly sensing something egg-sized floating within.

This wasn’t a clot but the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s original Essence Blood, the source of all Essence Blood.

Ye Haochuan gently stimulated this original Essence Blood with Dragon Origin Essence Qi. Instantly, the original Essence Blood trembled slightly as if threatened.

Before long, returning blood contained many tiny bits of Essence Blood, all converging towards the original Essence Blood, making it swell.

This was supposed to be the original Essence Blood’s natural self-protection reaction, but Ye Haochuan was overjoyed; this was exactly what he was waiting for.

The scattered Essence Blood, distributed throughout the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s body, was impossible to gather individually. Now, it was perfectly gathered in one sweep.

Dragon Origin Essence Qi immediately enveloped and wrapped this original Essence Blood, then extracted it from the heart and placed it into a prepared container.

Ye Haochuan inscribed some Array Patterns onto the container, essentially forming a small Formation, to ensure no loss of the Spirit Charm in the Essence Blood over a short time.

After doing all this, Ye Haochuan’s own heart began to beat uncontrollably.

The previous Six-Tailed Essence Blood was just a small vial, and its Spirit Charm was mostly lost, yet it elevated the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi to the Pseudo-Immortal Realm. With the complete Seven-Tailed Demon Fox Essence Blood preserved, to what level would the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi be upgraded this time?

On the other side, Tang Yucheng also exclaimed with excitement, ”The Spirit Core is still here, we’ve hit the jackpot this time!”

Ye Haochuan already knew, so he wasn’t surprised, urging, ”Quickly gather the fur, tendons, and bones, so we can return swiftly.”

Ye Haochuan was eager to go back and upgrade his cultivation technique, not caring much for other items.
