The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1255 654: Unscathed (Part 2)

Unexpectedly, this was exactly what Yan Xiaobao did.

"This person is—" Before he could finish speaking, an indescribable deadly crisis engulfed him. Looking over his shoulder, he saw the air ripple in the distance, as countless banesouls appeared, rushing toward him with eager expressions.

"Banesouls!!" he gasped. Just as he was about to flee, fear filled his heart.

"So many!! My god!" It wasn't just three or four banesouls approaching. As dozens closed in, the air continuously wavered unsteadily, with even more behind them. From the looks of it, there could possibly be a hundred in total.

Among the banesouls, there was a sinister young girl dressed in a white dress holding a bear. Her eyes spun with dark light, and though she was expressionless, Lei Shan and dozens of the Profound Stream Sect disciples could hear her light laughter in their ears.

It was a strange, sinister laughter that immediately set their hearts racing. Among the numerous banebeasts, Fang Lin's eyes widened, and he began gasping for breath, panting.

Yan Xiaobao further distanced himself, running for his life. He too could hear the light laughter, which made his scalp tingle with fear. Wings appeared behind him behind the black cauldron, and he burst forward at maximum speed.

"Hmph! You think you can steal my banebeasts? Those are the Bai Clan Lord's entertainment! No one can take them away!" he snorted coldly, pushing forward even faster.

Lei Shan swallowed hard, his face pale. He had no time to pay attention to his disciples among the beast horde, and he fled.

Around this time, the girl in the white dress shot forward before the large group of banesouls, becoming the first to reach the pill's explosion area. There, she took a deep breath, inhaling the surrounding black mist through her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Meanwhile, the surrounding banebeasts began to tremble, then explode, turning to ash. As for the dozens of Profound Stream Sect disciples, their bodies went completely out of their own control. White mist began to seep from their own eyes, ears, noses, and mouths, sucked in by the girl's black mist.

"Come back and play with me, darling..." she said. Her face no longer expressionless. Her lips twisted into a smile, a terrifying smile that would make any cultivator who saw it shiver.

Her voice echoed in the air, infinitely sinister, reverberating from all directions. The disciples of the Profound Stream Sect felt as if their souls were being ripped from their bodies. Their flesh and blood withered, and they became as stiff as corpses, leaping to the girl's side, where they began to lurch and dance, as if playing with her.

Their withered bodies and stiff limbs presented a bizarre scene, viewed from afar, with Lei Shan and Fang Lin observing with ashen faces. Trembling in their hearts, they began fleeing in horror.

"What kind of banesoul is that?!"

"The sect's information lists no such banesouls capable of speaking! It can't be!"

Lei Shan and Fang Lin both faltered in different directions, fleeing as fast as they could with life-saving magic.

The other minstrels around the girl couldn't absorb any black mist, quickly calming down and starting to drift idly with blank expressions on their faces.

The girl stood among them, looking completely out of place. By now, her eyes were entirely black. Ignoring the fleeing Lei Shan and Fang Lin for the moment, she slowly turned in the direction Yan Xiaobao had fled. Then her lips twisted into something almost resembling a smile, and she flew past Lei Shan.

Deep within the Fallen Sword World, Yan Xiaobao flew with all his might for two days, finally slowing down. The girl in the white dress made him shiver in fear. However, once he thought about how he had filled his Dao bottle more than ninety percent, he realized he only needed more earth energy to form the Earth Capture Crystal. Therefore, he cautiously began using his pills to draw out more banebeasts to gather the last bit of earth energy he needed.

Two days later, he had gathered dozens of banebeasts in a remote area. After slaughtering the entire group, his Dao bottle was filled with earth energy. The gray liquid began to bubble and boil, then solidified. Soon, cracking sounds could be heard, and the bottle shattered.

Yan Xiaobao grasped a piece of gray crystal. Almost instantly, he felt a connection between himself and the surrounding world, a resonance he had never felt before. This crystal was like the key to unlocking the barrier between himself and the world.

"It worked!" he exclaimed. Now more confident than ever, he understood that if he absorbed enough energy, he could establish a foundation. But he knew he shouldn't do so recklessly; he needed to find a safe place to complete the process. After all, if anyone interrupted, causing failure, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Foundation establishment. Foundation establishment! Hahaha!" Holding back his excitement, he suddenly felt a chill creeping up his back to his neck. Almost without thinking, he looked over his shoulder and saw a face behind him!

It was the face of a little girl, her lips twisted into a strange smile!

Everything around him was deathly silent. Yan Xiaobao's eyes widened, and the hair on his head began to stand on end. The flame of his life force flickered for a moment, as his intuition told him this girl was extremely dangerous!

"Play with me, darling," she said in a sinister voice. At the same moment, a gust of cold wind blew past, and Yan Xiaobao suddenly realized the girl was no longer holding a skinned bloody bear.

She was holding something else, and when Yan Xiaobao realized what it was, his heart thudded. It was a tiny cultivator, skinned just like the bear. Although it wasn't easy to tell at first, it was indeed Lei Shan!

The magnificent number two of the Profound Stream Sect was cradled in the arms of this little girl. Evidently, he wasn't dead either! He quivered in pain, his tongue removed, rendering him unable to speak.

Yan Xiaobao's mouth and throat turned dry, and he began to back away, trembling. Suddenly, he realized he didn't know how long the girl had been following him.

"Uh, your dear has other things to do," he said, feeling as if he might cry. "Why don't you go find someone else to play with? There's a Song Que, another called Nine-Isles. Ah yes. And Fang Lin. Right—you can play with them, okay?" However, the girl continued advancing toward him, laughing lightly. As she approached, she suddenly began to take deep breaths.

Yan Xiaobao's thoughts spun rapidly, feeling as if his life force was agitated, about to be torn apart. At that moment, anyone else would truly have lost their life.

But Yan Xiaobao's body was strong. The silver light of his Immortal Eternal Life Skill flickered in resistance. Yan Xiaobao let out a piercing scream as impending death engulfed him. Without hesitation, he took out his third mysterious pill and tossed it far away.

In that instant, the girl's eyes flickered with a mysterious light. Luckily, ignoring Bai Xiaobao, she consumed the pill and departed.

Pale-faced, Yan Xiaobao took advantage of the moment to flee as fast as possible.

The girl did not pursue him. After retrieving the pill, she placed it in her mouth, and her eyes grew even darker. As she turned her head toward the direction Yan Xiaobao had fled, her face bore a strange smile. Two hours later, Yan Xiaobao was still fleeing, wallowing in self-pity. He had his Earth Capture Crystal now, and all he needed was a chance to dig into the earth somewhere and use it, but the little girl wouldn't stop chasing him.

Recalling the recent terror and danger he had just encountered, his heart trembled. As night fell, he looked around, seeing no one in the area. Gasping for breath, he finally found a cave on a mountain where he sat cross-legged. Vigilantly scanning his surroundings, he debated whether this was indeed the best spot for his foundation establishment when the air in front of him began to ripple.

It only lasted for a moment, and the surrounding world became nearly imperceptible, other than his own eyes. When things returned to normal, someone stood in front of him.

The girl in the white dress, staring at him with black eyes.

"Don't go, dear. Come play with me...."
