Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

Otherwise, once the vice fire was evoked, one would be directly burned to death.
Of course, Ye Yuan could not have known beforehand. But with Dustless around, this degree of trap naturally could not possibly affect him.
In reality, ever since entering the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, Ye Yuan felt like he had returned home.
The extremely perilous land of danger to others was akin to flat ground for Ye Yuan.
These people were all overly anxious for success, wanting to find the Vermilion Bird true blood as quickly as possible. It was naturally impossible to maintain a calm mind. Evoking vice fire was naturally something very normal.
Discovering the oddity, these martial artists all strove to maintain tranquility of the mind. Sure enough, phenomenons of being burned by vice fire immediately fell drastically.
However, things were not as simple as they imagined.
As they continued going deeper, the temperature in the desert became higher and higher. Their state of mind also became more and more irritable. Hence, there were people who started to be burned to death by vice fire again.
In the crowd, two gazes were staring fixedly at Ye Yuan all along.
The older one among them opened his mouth and whispered, "Heh, this kid is indeed rather capable, to actually be able to see through the vice fire in-advance. If not for him, the two of us master and apprentice might die here too."
The young man said, "Master, I keep feeling that something is off about this Ye Yuan."
These two were Ji Xun and Zhuo Han, master and disciple.
When the two of them saw Ye Yuan enter the Door of Vermilion Bird, they also followed closely behind and came in.
The incident last time made Ji Xun very pent up with anger.
Ever since entering the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, he had always been finding a chance to get Ye Yuan alone, wanting to kill him.
Seeing Gu Tianque entered the Door of Black Tortoise, Ji Xun realized that the opportunity came. Hence, he followed Ye Yuan two people and entered the Door of Vermilion Bird.
Originally, they wanted to immediately take action. But when he saw Ye Yuan make Leng Qiuling revolve her cultivation method, Ji Xun kept feeling that there was something fishy. Hence, he did not make a move all along.
They followed far behind the crowd. When he saw people being burned to death by vice fire in front, Ji Xun immediately understood.
Hearing Zhuo Han's words, Ji Xun smiled and said, "What you said is right, this boy is indeed rather different from the rest. Let's not take action first. I feel that by following him, we might be able to have an unexpected harvest."
Seeing Zhuo Han's unwilling look, Ji Xun continued, "Han-er, rest assured. Your grudge, Master will definitely avenge it for you! When we find the Vermilion Bird true blood, it's when Ye Yuan dies!"
Time slowly trickled by, the crowd searched for as long as half a month in the desert, but did not have any harvests.
Many people became more and more irritable. The people who were burned to death by vice fire also became more and more.
"Does this damn place have Vermilion Bird true blood or not! Goodness, no, I can't get angry, can't get agitated, maintain tranquility! Stay calm!"
This person's slapstick comedy immediately incurred a series of laughter.
But very soon, these laughing sounds quietened down.
Laughing would not do too.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd pointed in front and shouted, "You guys, look! What's that?" This vice fire is a bit hard to translate, it's a fire used to punish sinners in hell. But in this context, it's a fire that burns when your emotions stir.
Chapter 1864 - Killing People on the Spot
No need for him to remind, everyone saw it.
Not far ahead, an oasis actually appeared.
In the center of the oasis was an island. There was a stone table on the island and a box was placed on the stone table.
"Vermilion Bird true blood! It must be the Vermilion Bird true blood!"
Everyone went berserk. How could they still care about other things, rushing over toward the oasis like crazy.
"The Vermilion Bird true blood is mine! Nobody is to snatch it!"
"Kill!"
"All scram further away for Your Father!"
...
The scene that was originally still peaceful instantly lost control.
The martial artists were all beside themselves with frenzy, fighting for that box.
But very soon, those Celestial Deity Realm martial artists discovered to their dismay that that box was already being taken over by more than a dozen powerhouses. They could not go up at all.
These dozen over powerhouses were all True God Realm powerhouses.
Even though they suppressed their realms at the Celestial Deity Realm, their strength was not what ordinary Celestial Deity Realms could compare to.
Their law comprehensions were much stronger than Celestial Deity Realm martial artists, not on the same level at all.
Around the stone table, laid dead bodies that covered the ground.
Ye Yuan and Leng Qiuling did not move. Seeing this situation, Leng Qiuling's expression dimmed, and she said, "Sure enough, this kind of lucky chance can only belong to True God Realms."
Ye Yuan said smiling, "That might not be so."
Leng Qiuling's beautiful eyes lit up and she said, "What does that mean?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You'll know in a while. But before this, we still have to settle some scores."
Among the Celestial Deity Realm martial artists, Zhuo Han's gaze suddenly turned sharp.
He discovered that Ye Yuan was actually walking over to his side!
Could it be that he discovered me? Impossible! We have been very careful along the way, it's impossible that he found out! Zhuo Han thought in his heart.
At this time, Ji Xun was currently among those dozen over powerhouses in order to fight for the Vermilion Bird true blood and did not have time to care about Zhuo Han at all.
Things did not develop according to Zhuo Han's thoughts, Ye Yuan came closer and closer.
"Huhu, want to kill people, then hide your killing intent a little better. With Ji Xun around, you're too reckless and unbridled!"
Ye Yuan's voice entered Zhuo Han's ears leisurely, shattering his last trace of hope.
Zhuo Han's expression suddenly changed. How could he still dare to remain, his figure suddenly dashing out, scurrying over in the direction of the oasis.
"Master, save me!" Zhuo Han bellowed.
Those dozen over powerhouses were currently fighting in close quarters without rest. Ji Xun's strength took a very huge advantage among these powerhouses and was already almost snatching the box.
Who knew that at this time, Zhuo Han suddenly dashed out.
And behind him, Ye Yuan's figure arrived high up in the air.
The Frostcounter Sword sword in his hand, Ye Yuan's certain-kill attack was already in the midst of unleashing.
"Ye Yuan, you dare?!" Ji Xun's eyes turned bloodshot from anger as he roared.
Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Do you think I dare or not?"
Ye Yuan's timing of taking action was too cunning, it was precisely when Ji Xun could not take care of his front and rear at the same time
Ji Xun's two eyes were blood-red. In the interval where he was in a daze, he was struck by another True God powerhouse with a blade.
"A Sword Crossing the Void!"
Zhuo Han's movement technique was actually very fast, but what Ye Yuan used was greater teleportation!
No matter how fast he was, how could escape Ye Yuan's sword?
A sword unleashing, Zhuo Han did not even have time to let out a scream and was utterly annihilated.
Heavenly Water Imperial Capital's most promising genius disciple, perished!
At the same time, Ji Xun was also hacked out of the battle royal by a blade, suffering a great loss in vitality.
But he did not care about the injuries o
n his body at all. He looked at Ye Yuan as he roared angrily, "Ye Yuan brat, not killing you, I, Ji Xun, am lesser than human!"
Ye Yuan looked at Ji Xun and said coolly, "I'm afraid that you don't have that chance anymore! I didn't provoke the two of you master and disciple, but the two of you master and disciple wanted to doom me time and again. Heh, really take me to be kneaded out of clay?"
Those Celestial Deity Realm martial artists looked at Ye Yuan with astonished faces.
This kid, a Second Firmament Celestial Deity Realm, actually dared to provoke a True God Realm powerhouse like this, this was being tired of living!
But that sword just now indeed took their breaths away.
A peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity actually one-shotted a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity!
Furthermore, the person Ye Yuan killed was not some nameless and unknown person, but Zhuo Han who was known as Heavenly Water Imperial Capital's number one genius.
What in the world was this young man's background?
"Hahahaha, the Vermilion Bird true blood is mine!" Right at this time, that True God powerhouse who chopped Ji Xun flying with a blade previously, finally grabbed that box, and let out a wild laugh.
He charged out from the midst of more than a dozen True God powerhouses and finally got what he wished, acquiring the Vermilion Bird true blood.
Ji Xun's gaze revealed a look of insanity, forcefully suppressing the injuries in his body, his figure suddenly disappearing!
Puchi!
That True God powerhouse was currently laughing away loudly when suddenly, his heart spurted fresh blood wildly. He actually had a hole punctured through from the back by someone with one sword.
The box in his hand was naturally snatched away by someone.
And the person who killed him was none other than precisely Ji Xun.
In an instant just now, he unleashed a secret art, stimulating the potential in his body, and finished off that True God powerhouse with one sword while he was off-guard.
After snatching the treasure, virtually without stopping in the slightest, Ji Xun's figure turned into an afterimage, escaping out of the desert.
"Ye Yuan, when I refine the Vermilion Bird true blood, it will be the day where you meet your maker!" In the air, the words that Ji Xun left behind reverberated.
Talking about it was slow, but actually, the change just now happened in just an instant.
Only then did that group of True God powerhouses feel as if they woke up from a dream. Each and every one of them was in a crazed state, rushing after Ji Xun.
They only found the Vermilion Bird true blood after going through hardsh.i.p.s, how could they possibly allow Ji Xun to monopolize it?
"Want to monopolize the Vermilion Bird true blood, no chance in hell!"
"Leave behind the Vermilion Bird true blood!"
...
After the group of True God powerhouses left, this slaughter finally calmed down.
Those Celestial Deity Realm martial artists looked toward Ye Yuan, pitying expressions on their faces.
Ji Xun obtaining the Vermilion Bird true blood, after refining, his strength would surely soar greatly.
He was originally a True God powerhouse already. So wouldn't dealing with Ye Yuan be accomplished with ease after this?
Without the Vermilion Bird true blood, these people naturally had no need to stay anymore as well.
Amidst a series of sighs, these Celestial Deity Realm martial artists left the oasis.
Leng Qiuling came to Ye Yuan's side and said with a sigh, "You were too impulsive! Killing a Zhuo Han is easy, but you thoroughly enraged Ji Xun like this. He obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood now. After refining, his strength will definitely improve further. At that time, he'll be even harder to deal with."
Even if Ji Xun could not employ the strength of True God Realm in this place, his realm could infinitely approach True God Realm.
Furthermore, Ji Xun's law comprehension was exceedingly high. It was completely impossible for Celestial Deity Realm martial artists to be his match.
Provoking such a powerful enemy was clearly not a very wise thing.
Who knew that Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Ji Xun obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood? Huhu, most likely … he'll be disappointed."
Leng Qiuling's face changed when he heard that and said, "Mn? What do you mean?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The Vermilion Bird true blood is still here, so … what Ji Xun brought away definitely isn't the Vermilion Bird true blood."
"Still here? This … how is this possible?"
Even if Leng Qiuling was cold as ice, she was also surprised by Ye Yuan's words.
Under the watchful gazes of everyone, Ji Xun clearly obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood, but Ye Yuan said that he did not obtain it!
Chapter 1865 - Plucking the Sun Barehandedly
Inside the bleak and desolate desert, more than ten figures were flickering irregularly.
"Ji Xun, leave behind the Vermilion Bird true blood!"
"Your secret art has probably already reached the limit, right?"
More than ten powerhouses were in hot pursuit, this chase had also escaped more than god knows how many tens of thousands of miles away already.
Ji Xun's entire person was in a great panic and he was still driven into an impasse.
Finally, those dozen over figures caught up to Ji Xun, cutting off all of his paths of retreat.
"Heh, Ji Xun, you suffered heavy injuries and can't escape!"
"Hurry up and hand over the Vermilion Bird true blood and we'll spare you from death!"
Although Ji Xun's background was deep, at this time, who would still care about him, this city lord?
Ji Xun's expression turned solemn and he said in a deep voice, "Want the Vermilion Bird true blood, come and get it if you have the capabilities then!"
"Humph! Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit!"
More than ten figures rushed up together, unfolding a fierce slaughter.
Although Ji Xun was a Seventh Firmament True God powerhouse, he could not unleash his true strength at all currently. Coupled with that he was fighting against the odds, how could he be these people's match?
Puchi!
A blade pierced right into his abdomen, completely wiping out his vitality.
That True God powerhouse holding the blade grinned hideously and said, "You courted death yourself, can't blame me!"
Right at this time, the corners of Ji Xun's mouth revealed a hint of a strange smile. That True God powerhouse immediately felt something amiss.
"Be careful!"
Those over a dozen people were just about to step forward and search his body, but Ji Xun's body suddenly exploded. A massive energy wave spread out vigorously.
The dozen over people were blown off their feet, each and every one suffering heavy injuries.
That True God powerhouse who wielded the blade was actually directly blasted into ashes.
"Nine Suns Thunder Exploding Talisman! D-Damn it! We were tricked!"
"Chasing for so long, this was actually a clone of his!"
...
At this time, underground in some remote place inside the desert, Ji Xun's entire person was covered by sand.
He opened up a narrow space under the ground and hid here.
His aura was currently dispirited and inert, but looking at the jade box in his hand, his two eyes emitted light.
"Heh, in order to obtain you, I even abandoned the clone that I cultivated for several tens of thousands of years! With this Vermilion Bird true blood, I can definitely break through to the Empyrean Realm and become the sovereign of a region! Ye Yuan brat, you killed Han-er right in front of my face. I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Upon thinking of Ye Yuan, Ji Xun's fury was boundless.
If not for Ye Yuan killing Zhuo Han at the crucial moment, greatly shocking his mind, he also would not have been ambushed by someone, and obtaining this jade box would not expend so
much effort.
That clone was obtained by him several tens of thousands of years ago and had always followed him. Presently, it already cultivated to the boundary of Fifth Firmament True God as well.
This clone cost him countless painstaking efforts.
Now, everything was gone.
Ji Xun's hatred toward Ye Yuan could be imagined.
He naturally would not have thought that he nearly almost killed Ye Yuan back then.
Feeling the waves of powerful undulation coming from inside the jade box, Ji Xun felt an upsurge of emotion.
Carrying fl.u.s.tered feelings, Ji Xun's divine essence surged, slowly opening the jade box.
Bang!
A cloud of black gas suddenly emerged, immediately covering Ji Xun's face.
"Hahaha, this empyrean finally sees the light of day anew! Boy, I'll borrow your body to use!"
A sinister voice came over, the black gas bored straight into Ji Xun's body.
"Ahh! What the hell are you, get lost for Your Father! Get out of Your Father's body!" Ji Xun roared furiously.
"Je je, this seat is Empyrean Devilfeather! To be able to get possessed by this empyrean, you should be happy!"
"Scram! What dogfart Empyrean, your bit of strength also wants to seize possession of my body? Dream on!"
"Je je, this Empyrean already invaded inside your sea of consciousness, want to seize possession or not, that's not up to you too!"
"Why?! Why isn't it the Vermilion Bird true blood inside this box?" Ji Xun bellowed.
"Vermilion Bird true blood? Turns out that you were finding the Vermilion Bird true blood! Hahaha, in this space, the Vermilion Bird true blood is that blazing sun, you actually thought that it's inside this jade box? Really foolish! But, it's precisely also because of your foolishness that this empyrean can see the light of day again!" Empyrean Devilfeather laughed strangely as he said.
"B-Blazing sun! I-Impossible!"
Empyrean Devilfeather's words made Ji Xun's mind tremble greatly.
A person and a fiend unleashed an intense struggle inside Ji Xun's sea of consciousness.
...
"That's the Vermilion Bird true blood? This … How is this possible?"
Leng Qiuling raised her head and looked at the sky, that blazing sun was incomparably scorching.
