The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 859 - 480: Soul Copy

...

A metallic figure suddenly appeared in front of him, closing its eyes as he created a soul copy and entered the metallic figure. After that, another Yan Xiaobao appeared beside him. This person jumped to the ground, glanced at the surrounding environment, and walked towards the carriage, waiting outside. No one said anything, and the copy of Yan Xiaobao slowly entered the carriage. With all eyes on Yan Xiaobao’s attention, he experienced how to slowly leave the Imperial Palace. He was driven out of the city and finally reached his mansion. The copy of Yan Xiaobao left the carriage, entered his room, closed the door, and sat on his bed.

The moment it landed on the bed, this figure no longer resembled Yan Xiaobao but returned to its original metallic appearance. Sitting in the tree, Yan Xiaobao didn’t move at all. In the initial few hours, Lan Feng controlled his body. This was because Yan Xiaobao was fully focused on controlling the soul copy.

Now he regained control of his body, but he was powerless. The sun hadn’t set yet, and the Princess was still in the garden. Guards were still all over the palace grounds, and Yan Xiaobao needed the cover of darkness to slip from the Princess’s mansion to the Third Prince’s mansion.

He also needed to figure out how to break into the mansion and find the Third Prince, but he understood that everything had to be done step by step. He couldn’t just enter the Third Prince’s palace; he had to wait for the right moment. This would also make it easier to shift the responsibility onto someone else, as it had been a while since he left the palace. This would make it less likely for people to associate the assassination with Yan Xiaobao.

The sun slowly set in the distance, and darkness descended on Muchuan City. As the daylight faded, the Princess suddenly appeared beneath Yan Xiaobao. She was moving to her mansion, and soon the soft light of light stones shone through the windows of her mansion.

Soft sounds and laughter emerged from the mansion, and soon it turned dark outside. It was so dark that Yan Xiaobao could finally move without being noticed. Yan Xiaobao climbed down from the tree gently and began walking further into the palace.

Many guards protected the palace grounds, but no one noticed Yan Xiaobao putting on his black cloak hidden in the aura and slowly approaching the mansion belonging to the Third Prince.

The palace grounds were vast. The individual mansions of the Princes and Princesses were isolated from the other parts of the palace. They had their own guards and protection, but as Yan Xiaobao got closer to the Third Prince’s grounds, he found fewer and fewer experts and guards patrolling. It was as if the Third Prince opposed letting anyone move on his territory, although this made Yan Xiaobao’s task easier, it also made him more vigilant. Why were there so few guards, and what exactly was the Third Prince hiding?

Entering the garden behind the Prince’s mansion was not a difficult task; no one blocked him, and no one noticed him. The mansion was full of life, just like the Princess’s mansion. Many rooms were illuminated, with laughter and voices floating out from within. Everyone was clearly having a great time.

Despite the lack of guards, it seemed the mansion was full of people; silhouettes could be seen moving and laughing through the windows.

Yan Xiaobao hesitated while hiding in the garden, as he wondered what he should do. Initially, he had anticipated that the lack of guards was in his favor, a way to confront the Third Prince without interruption; however, shortly after he discovered the mansion was actually full of people. Entering the mansion was not an option now, so he decided to wait outside until the Prince appeared. Then he would ambush and kill him. If he appeared in front of another person, then Yan Xiaobao would improvise accordingly.

Standing outside, Yan Xiaobao was immersed in his thoughts. Considering he was wearing a black robe, it should have been impossible for anyone below the Holy Level to notice him. Suddenly, he heard a branch snap behind him.

Turning around, the Third Prince stood right in front of him. A smile on his lips, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. "Thinking you would come to see me so late at night!" Xiao Ye shouted as he slowly took a step forward, approaching the cloaked man in front of him step by step.

"I did say you could come to see me anytime, to be honest, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," the Third Prince continued as he stopped. "You are a person who greatly values friendship, and after your friend’s loss, it was obvious you’d seek revenge. After all, I don’t entirely believe every action we make, every choice we take, comes without consequence."

"If I knew this would be the result, I definitely wouldn’t have done it, but now it’s too late."

"Sadly, you and I were not meant to be friends, but at least now we can understand each other better. You will be the first to realize my true power. I’ve never gone all out before, but I feel with you, I definitely need to," Xiao Ye continued as he looked at Yan Xiaobao.

Suddenly, his hand clenched as Yan Xiaobao felt danger coming from behind. Relying on Velocity Flow, Yan Xiaobao dodged to the side. When he stopped again, he found a large figure appearing behind the Third Prince.

This figure was clearly composed of more than one body. It was a fusion sewn together from the eyes, bones, arms, legs, and other body parts of others. Its white dead eyes stared into the distance.
