The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 788 - 451: The Spoils of War

...

Looking at the three experts in front of him, Yan Xiaobao pondered for a while. He knew Xiao Ning was waiting for his decision, but he was unsure of what to do. Releasing them would undoubtedly cause trouble later, but killing weaklings like them to threaten him wasn’t his style.

’What should we do?’ Yan Xiaobao sighed to Lan Feng, luckily this bird was willing to answer. "Although you don’t want to kill them, who says you can’t give them a good beating. I would definitely kill them, but a good thumping would also work."

Hearing this, Yan Xiaobao nodded and revealed his neck; he turned over and spoke to the man.

Seeing the sudden progress and astonishing speed, everyone was stunned and unable to react. Even Xiao Ning had trouble keeping up with Yan Xiaobao’s pace, but he followed the white-haired young man.

Looking at their faces, they were completely expressionless, as they let their punches and kicks land on the three experts, who expressed shock and horror.

The fight was entirely one-sided. Yan Xiaobao and Xiao Ning quickly defeated the group trying to rob them. Though their kicks and punches were relentless, they did not continue after they lost consciousness. For Yan Xiaobao, there was no reason to beat others when they were already defeated.

Xiao Ning seemed to have a similar thought, as he stopped his attack when he looked at the bleeding, unconscious people with a frown. "What do we do with them now?" he wondered slightly, but Yan Xiaobao just shrugged. "They are cultivators," he pointed out, "though they will feel pain, they won’t die. Just leave them here," he said, then squatted in front of them, his experienced hands began roaming through their clothes until he found some storage stones. "This is the price you pay," he said before throwing some storage stones to Xiao Ning, not forgetting to share the spoils of war.

After receiving the stones, the two experts continued their journey, but though they had been caught once, they did not increase their speed. They slowly and steadily continued to thoroughly inspect the tunnel.

"I kept wondering when you would give up," Yan Xiaobao said, as he left the unconscious Saint lying on the ground.

They had fought the first batch of experts three days ago, but since then, they had been forced to leave one group in an unconscious state after another. Three days had passed, and now seeing Yan Xiaobao and Xiao Ning, the experts hurried down the tunnel. No one apparently wanted to confront these two anomalies. Clearly, everyone else had fallen to these two opponents, despite one being an Emperor, they should not be taken lightly.

Yan Xiaobao only used his Holy Power once, and that was after the first fight, when he heavily relied on Earth Tremor to defeat the Saint who followed. This ability was more destructive than he had imagined, as the attack nearly equaled the Saint he had defeated.

Hui Yue took this opportunity to try the first three forms of the tremor: Shake the Earth, Sharpen the Earth, and Earth Hand. Yan Xiaobao had perfected these three abilities, enabling him to defeat lower-grade Saints.

"Even just using the Emperor’s power, you are fierce," Xiao Ning commented after defeating another group. "I am very efficient because I have skilled people," the white-haired young man commented with a friendly smile, as he attempted to make it seem like the Great Saint did all the work.

"You are a mystery," Xiao Ning suddenly said, looking at the young man in front of him. "Are you really a Saint or are you an Emperor? Are you here for treasure or do you want something else? You’ve shown an understanding of tombs I’ve never seen. Without a doubt, you’re the most troublesome person I’ve ever met." After considering for a moment, Xiao Ning shrugged. "Well, in the end, it doesn’t matter. You and I are a team, and we will experience this tomb together. If your goal isn’t the treasure, then I believe it’s valuable, and wherever you go, I will follow."

Hearing this, Yan Xiaobao was surprised. He came here for treasure, and he truly understood others in this area. He was lucky to have Lan Feng enter his body. Lan Feng could easily discern where the treasure was located.

"I’m here looking for treasure," Yan Xiaobao quietly said, looking at the ground before him. "We’ve been walking for three days and have seen nothing along the way. Is this tomb as vast as the entire Sun Kingdom? We should be getting closer to more treasure. The energy has appeared unusually, but it’s still very weak. All we can do is hope that no one notices it."

Further down the tunnel, the very faint energy ripples began to grow in intensity, soon becoming as strong as a pill. But the energy was different. The pill did not release an energy ripple, but a medicinal fragrance, while this was actual energy ripples, making Yan Xiaobao understand that without a doubt it was different. It was very likely armor or a weapon.

"Well, whatever it is, it will be ours," he murmured as he slowly approached the place where all the energy ripples peaked.

As soon as they reached the area, they saw all the experts rushing to their side. Traps were triggered, and some people were injured, but the remaining traps made it very difficult to find where this strange energy came from.
