Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Sun Zhe’s terrifying flames were likely the reason for Wang Yujun’s decision not to engage directly in combat this time.

After changing into new attire, she quickly retreated hundreds of meters to command the Wang family disciples to act as cannon fodder, launching an assault on Sun Zhe using a killing array.

As sword qi flew in from all directions, Sun Zhe remained unperturbed, secretly spreading out his Divine Sense. Countless invisible Taixu Sword Qi spread indiscriminately like a torrential downpour, instantly annihilating the sword qi emitted by the killing array.

”Break for me!”

After annihilating those sword qi, Sun Zhe continued to control the Taixu Sword Qi, which steadily struck the barrier formed by sword qi around him.

”Crack, crack, crack...”

With the successive strikes of Taixu Sword Qi, dense cracks appeared on the barrier wall.

Seeing this, Sun Zhe’s lips curled lightly, internally grateful that the Wang family disciples were generally not very powerful; otherwise, breaking through the killing array would have been impossible.

He viewed the cracks appearing on the barrier with a sweeping gaze, then suddenly gathered back his scattered Divine Sense, subsequently releasing Yin Thunder to merge with Taixu Sword Qi, focusing the attack on a single point overhead.

Strange black Thunder Blades seemed infinite, slashing one after another at the killing array barrier. In just a moment, a large hole was cut open.

Seeing this, Wang Yujun’s beautiful eyes trembled from afar, finding it hard to believe.

”What is this little thief’s origin? He can even break through the killing array my Wang family prides itself on!”

Within the killing array.

Seeing the barrier broken, Sun Zhe, having already stored power, kicked his legs fiercely, propelling his body straight up through the hole like a launched missile, completely escaping the encirclement of the killing array.

”Even if you break the killing array, what then? You have nowhere to escape here!”

Seeing this, Wang Yujun rose into the air, leading the Wang family disciples in hot pursuit.

Sun Zhe paid no mind to the pursuing Wang family crowd behind him. After retrieving the Dragon-slaying Sword, he took out the Brass Pestle from the Ring Space.

Earlier, while being chased, he utilized his Divine Sense to observe this enchanted formation space, seeking a way out for himself.

Unfortunately, he hasn’t found a path until now, so he decided to try creating one using the Brass Pestle!

He imagined that this enchanted formation space was essentially an array, and since it’s an array, the Brass Pestle should be able to break through!

”If I’m not mistaken, this enchanted formation space should exist beneath the lake I saw before. If I break the barrier overhead, I should end up in that lake.”

Thinking of this, he glanced back at the Wang family crowd chasing from below, a flicker of sharpness in his eyes.

”By then, the influx of lake water might drown those damn Outer World cultivators.”

”...”

Flying straight up nearly a thousand meters in height, he stopped only upon crashing into an invisible barrier wall.

Without hesitation, the Brass Pestle in his hand emitted radiant light as he thrust it fiercely towards the top barrier!

”Crack!”

With a full-force thrust, a shallow web-like crack appeared on the barrier above.

”It seems effective indeed, deserving of its name as the Brass Pestle!”

Seeing this, joy surged in Sun Zhe’s heart, and he struck again with the Brass Pestle.

”Not good, that little thief’s treasure pestle can break the array barrier, kill him quickly!”

Seeing this, Wang Yujun instantly realized Sun Zhe’s intention, recalling how Sun Zhe broke through the restrictive barrier in front of the stone gate using the same treasure pestle previously, and immediately commanded his execution.

Upon hearing the command, the Wang family disciples fully unleashed their cultivation, slashing their sword qi towards Sun Zhe above.

Taking a brief glance back, Sun Zhe internally exclaimed it was timely, immediately freeing one hand to face downward, his gaze suddenly turning sharp.

”Yin-Yang Transformation!”

A bizarre suction instantly enveloped the vast void below him, transforming all the fierce incoming sword qi into pure Spiritual Power.

Borrowing the tremendous Spiritual Power, Sun Zhe grasped the Brass Pestle and thrusted upward with all his might. Power that surpassed his full strength several times over burst forth instantly, and just as the crackling sound echoed, the barrier shattered like glass, producing a basin-sized hole.

As Sun Zhe anticipated, as soon as the barrier broke, lake water poured in.

In an instant, the roar was like thunder!

Lake water poured in through the barrier hole, forming a straight water column, descending with unimaginable weight.

Under such circumstances, it was evidently impossible for Sun Zhe to rely on his strength to break through that hole to escape.

However, he was well-prepared, immediately taking out the Celestial Sealing Treasure Seal, transforming it to the size of the hole, then holding it in reverse to plug the hole, slowly flying upward.

No matter how strong the pressure from the lake water inflow was, it couldn’t compare to a treasure seal capable of suppressing an entire realm!

Yet to wield the treasure seal against such immense force, Sun Zhe’s Divine Sense consumption was exceedingly severe, and after just a few breaths, he felt dizzy and his vision darken.

But the intense will to survive warned him not to succumb at such a time.

Thus, he clenched his teeth, desperately burning his Divine Sense to maneuver the treasure seal upward.

”Get... up there—!”

Finally, as his Divine Sense was about to burn out, the treasure seal carried him through the hole, escaping beyond the barrier.

But he had no time to rest; he held his breath and trudged forward leveraging the treasure seal’s weight.

With the lake water pouring through the hole, the terrifying suction felt like countless deathly hands stretching from hell, tugging at him relentlessly, so he dared not pause for an instant.

The pitch-black lake bottom was full of knee-high silt, making each step exceedingly difficult for Sun Zhe.

Having trekked unknown distances until the pulling suction behind him vanished, Sun Zhe finally halted and looked back to realize, to his astonishment, that the hole on the barrier had self-repaired.

”What a pity, not flooding that group of people with lake water.”

”Forget it, no concern of mine. I better escape first.”

Sun Zhe stopped thinking about it; after all, drowning those Outer World cultivators wasn’t his primary goal. He managed to store the treasure seal before vigorously swimming upwards.

”Help... please help me.”

Suddenly, a weak child’s voice echoed within his mind.

”Is this Divine Sense Transmission?”

Sun Zhe’s heart quivered, and after a brief hesitation, he followed the direction from which the Divine Sense voice originated.

In no time.

He reached where the voice emanated, discovering a depression at the lake bottom shrouded in darkness, nothing visible.

”Could I have mistaken it? Or am I hallucinating due to severe Divine Sense consumption?”

Sun Zhe rubbed his temples, thinking that he couldn’t hold his breath much longer. He immediately aimed to swim upward to catch a breath before deciding to investigate further.

Just then, silt churned in front of the lake bottom’s depression, a pair of eyes radiating a golden-red glow slowly opened, dazzlingly bright in the dark, exuding a form of tangible pressure.

”Is that... the Demonic Fish?”

Sun Zhe frowned slightly, taking a closer look and recognized it as the Demonic Fish he had seen earlier.

”Save me... I don’t want to die.”

The weak Divine Sense voice again drifted into Sun Zhe’s mind, sounding like a few-year-old girl.

Fixing his stare on those glowing large eyes, after a moment of hesitation, Sun Zhe suddenly kicked towards the Demonic Fish, collecting it into the Ring Space upon nearing.

His idea was that if this Demonic Fish perished, its corpse would undeniably be a valuable treasure for utilization; if by luck it didn’t die, he would try his best to rescue it, thereby forging a good bond and perhaps making a Divine Beast friend.
