Chapter 130 Heavenly Demon Vine
Yang Shuo's delicate body fell from the sky but did not hit the floor directly. Instead, she landed on her feet first and then steadied herself. However, a small red dot was planted between her eyebrows.
"Soul suppression?" Yang Shuo murmured, touching the red dot between her eyebrows with her delicate hand.
This red dot doesn't have a name; it's just a mark of a wisp of soul power existing within the body.
The function of this wisp of soul power that does not belong to the host is to suppress the circulation of the host's spiritual energy. Once the spiritual energy in the body cannot circulate normally, the host becomes just like an ordinary person.
Although Yang Shuo had a way to remove the red soul dot between her eyebrows on her own, it would still take time.
However, it is clear that Li Gu and the others will never give her a chance to recover, so the situation has now turned in Li Gu's favor.
Yang Shuo, though trapped in a wolf's den, wasn't in any real danger. After all, she was recommended by Mr. Liu, and if anything happened to her, there was no guarantee that Liu Zhiyan wouldn't do something to destroy the Men's Gang.
Liu Zhiyan alone might not be able to do it, but if all the medical saints of the entire Imperial State were gathered together, they would definitely be able to do it.
After all, there are 100,000 medical practitioners in the Imperial State! If they were to unite, they would be a force no less powerful than the top-tier sects in the Imperial State!
The importance of Yang Shuo to Liu Zhiyan, or to the medical profession of the Imperial State, can be fully understood in Liu Zhiyan's evaluation.
As long as Yang Shuo lives, the medical profession will survive; if Yang Shuo dies, the medical profession will perish!
In this context, although Yang Shuo's life was not in danger, her chastity was probably in jeopardy. After all, no matter how detached Yang Shuo was, she was still a girl at heart.
She's not a casual person; she values this very much.
"Please, Master Jiang, cripple this woman's cultivation," Li Gu said respectfully, gazing at the blue-clad youth who was slowly descending from the void.
This respect was not only because he was a second-grade alchemist, but also because of the fear of the power behind him.
Because he belongs to the Jiang family, one of the three most powerful families in the Imperial State!
The blue-clad youth landed slowly, his foot tapping the floor. His icy blue wings transformed into streams of light and dissipated, releasing a powerful pressure that spread outwards.
That's the strength of the fourth stage of the Primordial Realm!
Everyone was immediately startled. Even Yang Shuo felt a pressure and looked up at the blue-clad youth with more vigilance.
"Greetings, Master Jiang," Li Gu greeted Jiang Yiyu with clasped hands.
Seeing that even their leader was behaving this way, the other bandits all bowed and scraped to show their goodwill.
Clearly, they also knew what the Jiang family meant to the entire gang—the kind of terrifying force that could wipe them all out in the blink of an eye.
"Hmm," Jiang Yiyu responded lightly, his eyes sweeping over the entire gang of bandits with disdain, and said, "Indeed, with your abilities, it's completely impossible for you to stop Yang Shuo."
Although Li Gu and Yang Shuo are at the same level, Yang Shuo is a physician, so if she were to concoct any poisons, it would be quite a challenge for Li Gu.
Let alone catching up, just being able to protect oneself is a feat!
Li Gu knew this, which is why he asked Jiang Yiyu to help. Jiang Yiyu was a fourth-stage Primordial Realm cultivator and a second-grade alchemist. Not to mention that his strength was already higher than Yang Shuo's, even if she used poison, it would be useless.
Because alchemists have plenty of ways to counter poison masters!
"Should we cripple her cultivation?" Jiang Yiyu's eyes suddenly turned to Yang Shuo, recalling Li Gu's earlier words.
Swish!
Yang Shuo instantly sensed the hostile gaze and prepared to counter it with her own moves.
Now that her spiritual energy is sealed, she is no different from an ordinary person, but she is still a doctor and has some other means of saving her life.
Of course, she didn't use poison as Li Gu thought; she was saving lives, not killing them.
For the first time, Li Gu sensed Yang Shuo's fluctuating emotions. A slight smile played on his lips as he pleaded, "Yes, as long as Master Jiang helps me cripple this woman's cultivation, the Men's Gang will follow your lead from now on!"
Jiang Yiyu gave a disdainful laugh, turned to look at Li Gu coldly, and said, "Do you think our Jiang family needs more dogs?"
"No shortage, no shortage," Li Gu replied, his face slightly stiffening as he bowed his head.
It was obvious that Jiang Yiyu looked down on these bandits. If it weren't for that important person intervening, Jiang Yiyu probably wouldn't have bothered to even glance at them.
However, Jiang Yiyu did not refuse Li Gu. He stretched out his palm, and a ball of icy blue flame appeared in his palm. He walked step by step towards Yang Shuo and said, "Doctor Yang, the ways of medicine and pharmacy are similar. You should know what soul flame tastes like, right?"
"Don't resist, it will lessen the pain."
Soul Flame is a flame that only alchemists can condense. It is mainly used to refine pills, and its auxiliary function is to burn the human body's meridians to achieve the effect of destroying cultivation.
Yang Shuo naturally knew this, but it was impossible for her to obediently comply.
"Judging from your appearance, I'll have to resort to force." Jiang Yiyu sensed that Yang Shuo was trying to eliminate the wisp of soul power that had been injected into her body earlier.
Once the white light of the soul is eliminated, the power of this soul flame will be almost useless against Yang Shuo, who is at the third stage of the Primordial Era.
But how could Jiang Yiyu possibly give her time?
"Soul Flame, Azure Waves of the Icy Sea!"
call out!
Jiang Yiyu's eyes narrowed slightly as he unleashed the blue flame in his palm towards Yang Shuo. The small blue flame suddenly burst into flames as if it had been doused with gasoline, forming a blue sea of flames. The bursting flames spread out and swallowed up the cold moonlight.
As the blue curtain of light, like the rising tide of the sea, came into view, Yang Shuo's beautiful face showed no sign of panic. She reached into her sleeve with her jade fingers, grabbed a handful of mung beans, and scattered them in front of her.
Swish!Swish!
The mung beans sprouted immediately upon touching the ground and grew into towering trees that blocked her way, a rich vitality rising into the sky.
Bear!
The blue sea of flames instantly burned rows of ancient trees to ashes, and wisps of black smoke rose up in relay. Strangely, whenever the flames burned a gap in the ancient tree, the tree would immediately regenerate and block the gap. Under this extremely strong vitality, Jiang Yiyu's soul flame power was obviously weakened.
Seeing this, Jiang Yiyu's eyes flashed with surprise as he smiled and said, "So it's the Heavenly Demon Vine. No wonder its vitality is so vigorous."
"But Doctor Yang, how many Heavenly Demon Vine do you have? As long as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth doesn't dissipate, my Soul Flame can exist forever, but your treasures will eventually run out!"
Yang Shuo knew about this matter, but did not respond to Jiang Yiyu's words. Instead, she took advantage of this time to accelerate the dissipation of the white light of the soul within her body.
Li Gu's expression stiffened. He hadn't expected Yang Shuo to possess such a treasure as the Heavenly Demon Vine. No wonder she had been so fearless when she was being taken advantage of earlier.
It's important to understand that the Heavenly Demon Vine's primary function isn't defense, but rather offense and control; it's just that it's currently forced to use it for defense.
If Li Gu had acted any more outrageously towards Yang Shuo earlier, he would have been killed by the Heavenly Demon Vine.
Li Gu was not the only one shocked and frightened. Xie Chengkun also felt a chill run down his spine. He had always had a vague feeling that Yang Shuo was no ordinary woman.
However, he could never find out her background. In addition, she was always on the move, and most of the information he could find about her was about her good deeds of saving people and practicing medicine. Her private affairs were even rarer!
He dared to guarantee, based on his more than forty years of experience, that Yang Shuo was definitely not an ordinary person!
Green and blue flames shone brightly in the void, and crackling sounds echoed throughout the mountain.
The next instant, Jiang Yiyu suddenly realized that the wisp of white soul light was about to dissipate. Immediately, he condensed a wisp of sword light with his finger and aimed it at Yang Shuo. With a thought, he shot it out without hesitation.
"Mid-grade Profound Rank, Sword Light at Your Fingertips!"
If the previous Soul Sea attack was just a normal attack, then this move is a truly deadly skill.
Yang Shuo's eyes caught sight of a sword beam hurtling straight down from the sky. In just a moment, it pierced through the Heavenly Demon Vine, and a dangerous aura rushed towards her.
But now is the crucial moment for her to eliminate the white light from her soul. If she gives up now, Jiang Yiyu will definitely be more vigilant, making it even more difficult to eliminate it.
That's enough.
Yang Shuo closed her eyes and concentrated on dealing with the white light emanating from her soul. As for the incoming sword light, she planned to intercept it!
"The Holy Golden Seal!"
