The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 554 - 654: Rescue



Just at this moment, when Ye Tianfan was glancing vigilantly around, he suddenly noticed that it seemed like there was someone lying on the ground.

Immediately, Ye Tianfan extended his Divine Sense over, only to discover that it was not a person, but a Demon Beast. Moreover, this Demon Beast had already lost its life.

"Dead?" Ye Tianfan muttered in confusion. He found it very strange, as in the recent battle, neither the Loose Cultivators nor the Demon Beasts were involved, yet one had silently died, and the body bore not a single wound. This peculiarity spawned a sudden idea in Ye Tianfan's mind.

"What died?" Master Tianji, having heard Ye Tianfan's muttering, asked curiously.

"Very strange!" Ye Tianfan said, pointing towards the carcass, before continuing, "In that direction, there's a Demon Beast's corpse!"

"What's strange about that? Having corpses around is quite normal, isn't it? Soon there will be more corpses." Master Tianji said with a smile. To her, finding a corpse here was not odd. Despite people like Zhang Laoliu possessing Immortal Bodies, Master Tianji didn't believe that all the new Loose Cultivators and Demon Beasts had Immortal Bodies, which are not as common as cabbages and require a hefty price.

"Master Tianji, what I find strange is that the Demon Beast's corpse doesn't bear any wounds, and in the fight earlier, we didn't implicate any Loose Cultivators or Demon Beasts." Ye Tianfan explained to Master Tianji.

When everyone heard Ye Tianfan's words, they suddenly recalled that the previous fight had only targeted Zhang Laoliu and the others, without attacking the surrounding Demon Beasts or Loose Cultivators.

Moreover, even if they had been caught in the crossfire, it should have left some injuries!

"There seems to be only one possibility." Ye Tianfan looked at Guang Meili and the others, then continued, "That is, the price for Li Min and Zhang Laoliu's Immortal Bodies is the lives of these controlled Loose Cultivators and Demon Beasts."

Time passed with a series of claps.

As everyone heard Ye Tianfan's words but hadn't yet reacted, they heard applause coming from Guang Meili's direction.

Everyone turned to look at Guang Meili and saw her clapping a few times before she said, "Not bad, indeed. It's true what the Sect Leader told us. When we die, these Demon Beasts and Loose Cultivators can take our place in death. They are our stand-ins. So what? Now that you know the principle, can you break it?"

Upon hearing Guang Meili's words, the hot-tempered Master Tianji responded, "That's not hard. Just kill until you have no more stand-ins, right?"

Tian Chu Zhenren didn't refute Master Tianji's words, for these Demon Beasts were dispensable, and the Loose Cultivators were mostly nefarious; even the few righteous ones had come here out of greed and should pay the price.

But Ye Tianfan still felt something strange. Logically, after revealing the principle to break their Immortal Bodies, they should be anxious. Yet, they showed no signs of worry. Even though many Demon Beasts and Loose Cultivators existed, most were no match for Tian Chu Zhenren and the others. Even if unprotected, he could easily cut them in half, but they were neither panicked nor concerned.

"Hah!" Guang Meili chuckled upon hearing this, then said, "There are not only thousands, but possibly tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators and Demon Beasts present. Even if we stand still for you to kill, these Loose Cultivators and Demon Beasts won't just stand idly by; don't forget they are under our control!"

Tian Chu Zhenren frowned. The trouble lay here. Despite Tian Chu Zhenren's high rank in the cultivation world, there were too many Loose Cultivators and Demon Beasts, and some were renowned, capable of easily overcoming Tian Chu Zhenren if they teamed up.

For instance, in the Loose Cultivators, the well-known Qiankun Immortal wielded the Supreme Magical Treasure - Qiankun Staff, which could vary in size and had the property of breaking Spiritual Power. When used against other Magical Treasures, it could easily shatter the Spiritual Power condensed on them, causing a counterattack towards the treasure's wielder. It's notoriously troublesome.

For example, among the difficult ones were the Five Elemental Adepts and Celestial Traveling Immortal, among others. There were also formidable Demon Beasts like the Heaven-Swallowing Snake, Nine-Tailed Demon Wolf, and others, all very troublesome.

If they weren't controlled, it would be much simpler. They are too proud to cooperate, and even if they did, their combined strength wouldn't be additive and could yield inferior results.

Now it's different; they have no consciousness and if they collaborate, the combined force isn't just additive; the outcome could be multiplied, possibly tripled or quadrupled.

This was the real cause for Tian Chu Zhenren's apprehension.

However, one thing Tian Chu Zhenren needed to confirm was whether, during Guang Meili and the others' resurrection process, they could control these Loose Cultivators and Demon Beasts. If not, then it was fine; otherwise, it would be problematic.

If not, then just keep killing them until there's a way out.

"But don't you guys find it strange?" Guang Meili suddenly asked.

"Strange about what?" Tian Chu Zhenren asked in confusion.

"Isn't it strange where the original inhabitants of Heaven-Reaching City have gone? Over 300,000 people!" Guang Meili said with a laugh.

Hearing this, the faces of Tian Chu Zhenren and the others turned unpleasant. Previously they had not paid attention or considered this, but when they thought about it, it became terrifying.

The fate of 300,000 people was obvious.

While everyone was looking at Guang Meili with unpleasant expressions, suddenly, an enormous Sword Qi descended from the sky.

The entire Sword Qi slashed directly towards the Demon Beasts and Loose Cultivators around Tian Chu Zhenren.

After the Sword Qi slashed through them, it erupted with incomparable force. Ye Tianfan had never seen such intense force, leaving his Spiritual Power depleted, and his Xuanhuang Tower was immediately retracted.

Just as Ye Tianfan thought it was the end, a giant Duster suddenly appeared in the sky and swept towards Ye Tianfan and the others.
