I Have Medicine

Chapter 249 - Two Arrows

The appearance of that woman, the Earth Leaderboard’s thirteenth place, was originally somewhat lacking. The moment she heard the words of that man’s frivolous contempt, she directly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed backwards. Luckily, another woman dashed over and caught her. Yet, the Earth Leaderboard’s thirteenth place had been humiliated in such a way. On top of that, her body had received serious injuries and she had suddenly fainted. When the other Qingyun Sect disciples saw this, they all seethed in anger. It was hard to endure!

“How vile!”

“Such a shameless fellow is unworthy of being the disciple of a great sect!”

“That despicable disciple is really wretched!”

Soon after, a person who was even higher in the rankings on the Earth Leaderboard jumped onto the platform. Unfortunately, this person still wasn’t the opponent of that Chongyun Sect disciple. Immediately following that, someone else went up. This time, that Chongyun Sect disciple was finally struck down. However, this person had won several rounds in a row, and was able to fight the last Qingyun Sect disciple to the point that both sides suffered. Although his moral qualities were intolerable, there was no need to doubt the greatness of his skills.

The battle ended in this way. The Qingyun Sect disciples only felt that their prestige had lost its luster. They clenched their teeth, itching to do something:

“Why haven’t our Sect’s powerhouses come out?”

“Could it be that Chongyun Sect will continue acting so savagely?!”

“I’d rather die than suffer this insult!”

“Why aren’t the forces’ leaders willing to take action?!”

Following this, the masters of several powers surrounding Xi Yangyun exchanged glances.

Originally, they wanted to observe from the sidelines some more — But Chongyun Sect’s experts seemed to be breeding like flies, and it wasn’t known what their foundations were in the end. Under the present circumstances, it wouldn’t work if they didn’t take action themselves.

As such, they had to initiate challenges of their own accord.

Following this, Xie Yufei took the lead and rose up: “Previously, the fellow disciples under my command were injured because of Chongyun Sect. Now, I will go to seek justice for them. Ladies and gentlemen, allow this Xie to go first.”

Everyone all said: “After you!”

Gu Zuo watched as Xie Yufei jumped onto the platform and reached out a hand to point at a certain Xiantian stage nine martial artist from Chongyun Sect. He plainly said: “This Chongyun Sect brother, please don’t be stingy, and teach me a thing or two.”

As that person was a Xiantian stage nine martial artist, once he heard what was said, his body shot out and stood opposite to Xie Yufei.

Xie Yufei’s strength was outstanding, and his opponent wasn’t one to be outdone. However, this time, compared to the couple of fights before, it was much more pleasing to watch when he took action. Xie Yufei was the Earth Leaderboard’s second place, and his rank was higher than that of He Chengwu. He was one of the top experts on the Earth Leaderboard. One shouldn’t look at how the difference between the Earth Leaderboard’s thirteenth and second place was a bit more than ten ranks. In actuality, those who could charge into the top ten couldn’t be compared to those in the rear, and those who could break into the top five were likewise far superior to the other top tens.

What’s more, Xie Yufei was in the top three.

The Chongyun Sect disciple he battled with didn’t seem to be that side’s most outstanding genius. Xie Yufei and him fought for two hundred rounds. Finally, at the price of a light wound and the difference of a single move, the opponent was struck down.

This allowed Qingyun Sect’s beautiful victory to come to pass.

In a split second, Qingyun Sect’s morale, which was originally quite low, also somewhat improved.

After Xie Yufei won his match, he didn’t choose to fight again. His body flew down, and he switched with the Society Leader of the Wild Martial Arts Society, Qiu Zhan. His strength was even more formidable, and he was precisely the Earth Leaderboard’s number one. After choosing an opponent, he similarly paid a very small price to defeat the other party.

Following this, it was the Autumn Waters Association’s Association Head, Xin Lang, as well as the Mingyue Pavilion’s Hua Xueyin, who hadn’t challenged the Earth Leaderboard, but whose strength was actually higher than that of her older sister, Hua Yuerong.

Each person selected an opponent, smoothly defeated the other side, and didn’t zealously continue to fight.

In this way, quite a few successive victories allowed the numerous Qingyun Sect disciples to see the light of day, and sense the magnificent prowess of their own Sect.

However, while the ordinary Qingyun Sect disciples indeed feel that things had taken a turn for the better, the expressions of the crowd of people who were led by Xi Yangyun were still grave.

Because they had discovered that the Chongyun Sect disciples who were currently gathered around the Martial Prowess Platform were basically the minnows of that Sect. Surprisingly, there wasn’t a single person whose rank carried weight. During the past few days, Xi Yangyun hadn’t personally gone to observe the Martial Prowess Platform. Naturally, he wouldn’t have noticed anything specific. But now that he was here, he made some inferences.

— Just when Qingyun Sect had already taken out more and more experts at the Xiantian Realm, Chongyun Sect’s important personages still hadn’t shown themselves. As such, how terrifying was their Sect’s whole strength?

As for how Xi Yangyun and the others were able to detect this, they naturally saw that there was only one person who seemed to be in charge in Chongyun Sect’s area. Whenever other people received challenges or actively issued challenges, they would all glance at him as if they were consulting for his opinion. Presumably, this kind of person served the same role as Xi Yangyun. He was revered by the Chongyun Sect disciples who had currently appeared, but his strength was only at Xiantian stage nine.

This was enough to indicate a problem.

Gu Zuo thought of these things, too.

He felt that, no matter how well those Chongyun Sect disciples performed here, it was actually all a trivial matter. When thinking about how the people they had brought were able to press down upon Qingyun Sect’s head, what about the people they hadn’t brought? How many geniuses were inside Chongyun Continent’s Chongyun Sect who were even more terrifying than these people?

Gu Zuo thought about it from the other side’s perspective. If it was Gu Zuo himself, he certainly wouldn’t have taken along all of the remarkable disciples. For those secluded cultivators and those who didn’t condescend to come, it wasn’t known how many there were.

And back to the Martial Prowess Platform, it was just as expected. After losing four to five matches in a row, one person on Chongyun Sect’s side came up.

This person’s realm was only Xiantian stage seven. However, because it was like this, all of the Earth Leaderboard experts who just achieved victory for Qingyun Sect were promptly restricted.

The leaders of the numerous forces had no way to face this challenge. Otherwise, wouldn’t this be a higher realm suppressing a lower realm?

Xi Yangyun’s expression changed slightly. He turned his head and looked at his own trusted aide: “Can the few secluded cultivators be asked to come out?”

It wasn’t known when that trusted aide had returned. At this moment, there was a bitter expression on that aide’s face: “The few secluded cultivations are all behind closed-doors. None of them are aware of the events of the past few days. I’m afraid we’ll need to persevere for some time. After they come out of seclusion, then we can try again.”

Xi Yangyun faintly nodded: “Fine. You and a few groups will go and keep watch. Once they come out of seclusion, immediately invite them over.” Once that trusted aide left again, he looked to the extremely handsome young man on his other side, “Junior Sect Brother Gongyi, I’ll have to rely on you this time around.”

Gongyi Tianheng nodded his head: “Naturally, I’ll strive to do my best.”

Because the two had spoken a few words during this time, a Qingyun Sect disciple had already gone up on the platform to fight the Chongyun Sect disciple. However, the other party only used a few fists and kicks to strike this Qingyun Sect disciple, who went up with momentary righteous indignation, and sent him off the platform. His mouth spurted blood, and his body was seriously injured. It was only natural that someone immediately went to save him.

That Chongyun Sect disciple’s ambitions were satisfied, and he was very ostentatious: “What? Does Qingyun Sect only have this kind of trash?” His voice resounded once more, “Who dares to come and fight me?”

Tianheng and Gu Zuo exchanged glances.

Gu Zuo hastily said: “Big brother, you need to be careful!”

Tianheng had a smile on his face, and nodded. His silhouette flickered, and he already appeared on that Martial Prowess Platform.

The numerous Qingyun Sect disciples below were incredibly surprised:

“This person’s bearing is outstanding. Who is he?”

“In our Qingyun Sect, there’s still this kind of personage?”

“Although his looks are great, how are his skills?”

“Seeing how confident he is, maybe he really has some skill.”

“No matter what, I hope that he returns victorious!”

With such praise, there was also doubt.

But overall, the Qingyun Sect disciples still hoped that this person, who took the initiative to get on the platform at this time, could defeat this Chongyun Sect disciple.

The Chongyun Sect disciple on the other side glanced at Tianheng, and his heart was on guard.

It seemed that this person of such bearing was only Xiantian stage six. Yet, this guy still possessed the self-confidence to answer his challenge? He didn’t know if this person was too conceited or had a card up his sleeve.

One shouldn’t see how brash the Chongyun Sect disciple was on the surface. In actuality, he wasn’t really this egotistical and contrary. While his face still wore a look of provocation, he paid much more attention to Tianheng in his heart.

No matter how he looked, he didn’t feel that Tianheng was that type of arrogant person...

And when Tianheng faced the Chongyun Sect disciple, he also sensed that this person really wasn’t blind and impulsive. He couldn’t help smiling in his heart. Whatever. Regardless of whether this person was truly brash or not, this matter would still be handled as such. It made no difference to him.

The Chongyun Sect disciple started the match strongly. He reached out to make a grabbing motion, and a strangely-shaped blade was already in his hand. On its surface, both sides had a cutting edge. When he used one of his martial skills, it was like splitting the sea and beheading the waves. His imposing aura was extraordinary.

It was seen that his accumulations were even more robust than those previous Xiantian stage eight and nine Chongyun Sect disciples. After he took action, the scene that emerged from that style was also out of the ordinary.

Tianheng saw him use a weapon, and he intended to sound his opponent out. He, too, reached out a hand to grab a long spear. The spear shaft turned, and the wind surged like a gathering storm. The spear tip continuously stabbed out, and the stars twinkled.

The strangely-shaped blade and the long spear instantly collided, and the noise resounded. In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two people crossed paths, and they had already fought for several rounds.

Tianheng could perceive that the Chongyun Sect disciple had a lot of power under his hands, and his body technique also wasn’t slow. For normal martial artists, they usually only excelled in either strength or agility. If there was someone who had both, they would be extremely difficult to handle.

But as far as Tianheng was concerned, it wasn’t considered that hard.

After a brief period of probing, Tianheng had already discovered that this person’s capabilities really marked him as a genius. Compared to wild beasts at the same realm, he would emerge victorious against many. As such, most martial artists at the same realm naturally wouldn’t be his opponents — Among those numerous Chongyun Sect disciples, he should’ve been someone who was fairly well-regarded.

Therefore...

Tianheng’s eyes flashed with a cold light. His toes tapped against the ground, and the spear shook and rose up. A surge of abundant power immediately burst forth from the spear tip, and due to the layers of spear shadows, the trajectory of that power couldn’t be seen through. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the Chongyun Sect disciple.

The Chongyun Sect disciple was calm and unflustered, unlike the previous clamor. He raised the strangely-shaped blade and continuously peeled and sliced. That surge of abundant power was chopped from all directions, whittling the attack’s momentum.

But after the present Tianheng used his move, he had already drawn back and retreated. In a flash, he stood at the other end of the Martial Prowess Platform. At the same time, the long spear in his hand suddenly disappeared. What he took out instead was unexpectedly an iron-coated great bow. It was incomparably hard, and it was almost as tall as a person!

Tianheng’s foot stamped out, pressing onto the body of that great bow. Soon after, his other hand pulled the bowstring, bending the great bow to its limits.

The next moment, a reddish-gold arrow took shape upon that bow. In an instant, it became a stray arrow that took flight and shot straight out!

The place it headed towards was right where that Chongyun Sect disciple stood!

The Chongyun Sect disciple’s movements couldn’t have been said to be slow. In only a few breaths, he had already defused that surge of abundant power. However, although he was fast, Tianheng was faster. Just when the Chongyun Sect disciple wanted to attack after resolving the spear energy, he saw that reddish-gold arrow hurtling towards him!

That Chongyun Sect disciple turned pale with fright. In that split second, he couldn’t take anything else into consideration, and he flew backwards in retreat.

The power contained within this arrow was truly too dreadful!

But how fast was the arrow’s speed? The Chongyun Sect disciple utilized all of his body techniques and used up all of his strength to simultaneously dodge and counterattack. He continuously attacked that arrow, but he still wasn’t able to slow it down one bit.

At this very moment, the Chongyun Sect disciple intended to declare his forfeiture, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw another streak of flowing light rushing over! That arrow arrived very quickly, and its power was too fierce. Unexpectedly, it didn’t even give him the chance to make a single sound!

The first arrow instantly plunged into the Chongyun Sect disciple’s shoulder. The second arrow, which came right after, penetrated the disciple’s abdomen! At this moment, the reddish-gold arrows split apart into countless rays of light. In the blink of an eye, the bone pearls throughout his entire body were shattered!

What a tyrannical power! What an overbearing move!

The Chongyun Sect disciple was sent flying by two arrows, and was flung up high towards the rear. Finally, he was smashed into the ground.

Upon seeing this, many people had rushed over, but they weren’t able to catch him...

Silence filled the venue.

The present Tianheng disengaged from the fight, and that great bow disappeared from his hands. As for himself, he faintly smiled: “This brother let me win.”

Gu Zuo: “...”

Ah, what was this about letting him win? This big brother of his was simply pulling aggro!

However, was this great bow a spoil of war that his big brother obtained during this time’s outing? He had never seen it before. But this wasn’t the important point. What was important was that the reddish-gold arrows seemed familiar. Were they condensed from the reddish-gold power of the sun within his big brother’s body? Was this a new technique that his big brother invented?

How amazing...

Although Xi Yangyun and the other Qingyun Sect disciples knew that Tianheng’s skills were outstanding, they didn’t expect him to be this incredible. With merely two arrows, he had crippled a Chongyun Sect genius whose realm was one stage higher than his own. Looking at that guy’s appearance, it wasn’t known how many good medicines it would take to save him.

Chongyun Sect’s side hurriedly brought this person back. Meanwhile, the gazes that they used to look at Tianheng carried intense anger. But there were also traces of indiscernible fear in the depths of their eyes.

Gu Zuo keenly sensed this — But, what were these people afraid of?
