I Have Medicine

Chapter 489 - Absolutely Crushed

The attack was extremely fierce. Nothing was held back in the slightest.

The old man, who originally intended to harm Swallowtail City, turned his head to look behind. Both his beard and hair were white, but his veins were pulsating and protruding, which made him appear incredibly frightening. At this time, he fully turned around, opened his palms, and fought back against the Blood Transformation Palace Master.

In the blink of an eye, both sides exchanged blows for several rounds.

That old man seemed bold and powerful, but he was no match for the palace master, who had been meticulously trained by Ten Ultimates Sect. After this confrontation, it didn’t take long for the old man to fall into a disadvantaged position. He tightly furrowed his brows, and shouted: “Blood Transformation Palace Master, why are you making this old man’s life difficult for this city of trash?”

The palace master coldly laughed: “A single ant of my Ten Ultimates Sect is more precious than a coarse fellow like you.”

While speaking, he transformed into a beam of bloody light. Wherever he passed, everything turned into nothingness!

The other’s gaze was gloomy and cold: “Since it has come to this, don’t blame this old man!”

Once he finished talking, his hand grasped a sharp blade that flickered with divine light, and swung it directly at the palace master.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master’s facial features were malevolent. Within his pair of eyes, two balls of extremely pure, blood-red lights burst forth. These balls of light turned into two enormous spheres of blood, which instantly transformed into two eyes of blood.

Shortly thereafter, the blood eyes opened. When the eyeballs spun around —

The ray of light slashed out by that sharp blade immediately collapsed and shattered. As for the sharp blade itself, it was contaminated with a burst of bloody qi, and the divine light abruptly dimmed!

The situation was extremely unfavorable for the old man. Seeing that the bloody qi was following along the sharp blade and was about to invade his body, the old man suddenly let out a roar as his other hand slashed at his wrist!

In an instant, the hand holding the sharp blade fell down. The old man pointed at the hand, causing it to explode into chunks of flesh. These pieces formed another killing blow, which appeared right in front of the palace master.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Blood Transformation Palace Master created another blood-red giant hand that hid the sky and covered the earth. This enormous hand suddenly pressed down!

Heavenly Blood Palm!

The old man was given a hard strike, but unexpectedly, he had been trapped within the blood palm. Even though he dashed to the left and rushed to the right, he couldn’t escape. As for his physical body, it was contaminated with bloody qi. His strength weakened extremely quickly...

The palace master watched the old man’s struggle, but the emotions in his eyes were incredibly cold: “Speak. What have you done with my disciple?”

The old man was still continuously attacking the bloody palm print. Ferocity was etched across his entire face: “Disciple? What disciple? This old man has never seen your disciple!”

At this moment, Gu Zuo, who was being protected in the palace master’s arms and never suffered the slightest injury during the fight, angrily shouted: “Palace master, he’s lying! Big brother was harmed by him!”

The Blood Transformation Palace Master naturally believed Gu Zuo. Right away, his tone of voice became even colder: “Yang Hu, you actually dare to ignore the alliance treaty? You used the strength of the Royal Realm to deal with my sect’s Atomic Realm prodigy? Hasn’t my Ten Ultimates Sect given you enough face? You truly have no sense of shame!”

That Yang Hu replied with an icy voice: “How can the words of an insignificant younger generation be proven true? Blood Transformation Palace Master, I respect the many Heaven Lords of your Ten Ultimates Sect, but I can’t tolerate the slander of a junior!”

Gu Zuo saw that he still wasn’t admitting to it. The flames of rage within his chest burned even hotter: “Big brother and I have a contract. If it wasn’t for you harming big brother, there definitely wouldn’t be this feeling of loathing upon our first meeting!”

Yang Hu disdainfully said: “Contract? This old man has never heard of it. There are such contracts in the world, but even though they exist, how could a brat like you establish it?”

Gu Zuo’s face was shrouded in a layer of frost: “Big brother is my path protector, my guardian. Big brother and I have relied on each other for many years, and the contract had reached the rank of Life and Death Companions long ago. You injured big brother, but I carry those wounds, too. This is my proof!”

The two of them argued more than a few words. All of which entered the palace master’s ears.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master extended a hand, and lightly patted Gu Zuo’s back. Meanwhile, he said: “With Ah Zuo’s temperament, he would never tell lies about this matter.” When he looked at Yang Hu, his eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent, “It’s fine if you won’t speak the truth. But since you dared to lay a hand on my disciple, if I don’t kill you, it would dishonor my sect’s prestigious name!”

Once these words fell, the palace master no longer questioned Yang Hu.

He slightly parted his lips, and a snake-like torrent of blood burst forth from his mouth. The snake unhinged its jaws wide open, and swallowed Yang Hu from top to bottom.

“So long as I kill you, I’ll have a way to find out the cause!”

Yet, that Yang Hu wasn’t a pushover either. Seeing that the Blood Transformation Palace Master was so vicious and vengeful, after realizing that his own strength was constantly fading away and that he could no longer take the initiative to attack, Yang Hu abruptly struck his own qi ocean and self-detonated!

An enormous power devastated the surroundings and surged in all directions. A huge explosion was triggered, and Yang Hu was blown up until not even a skeleton remained. However, the power of this explosion was also headed towards Swallowtail City!

The Blood Transformation Palace Master let out a cold harrumph: “A skill of no high order.”

Once he finished speaking, he chopped with his hand, and sent out a bolt of blood-red silk. It transformed into an extremely large sheet of cloth, which firmly blocked the front of Swallowtail City. At the same time, when the explosion’s power dashed against the silken cloth, the blast was instantly rolled up and crushed to pieces like a gust of air.

Swallowtail City was safe and sound.

Meanwhile, the palace master stretched out his hand again, and made a grasping motion to gather and bind a ball of seemingly smoke-like, green gas. After that, his eyes sent out a beam of bloody light, which bathed over the ball of gas. Before long, the ball of gas completely disappeared. The bloody light was also withdrawn by him.

Shortly thereafter, the Blood Transformation Palace Master harshly said: “How despicable!”

Gu Zuo’s heart was suddenly alarmed: “Palace master, what happened? Big brother, he &#k2014;”

The palace master’s chest slightly heaved up and down as he was unable to restrain his anger. He flicked his sleeve, and even the smallest fragments of fleshy remains left by Yang Hu were annihilated.

After that, there was a trace of pain in his voice: “My apprentice, he was forced into a void seam! I’m afraid that...”

Not even a skeleton was left!

Gu Zuo faintly trembled: “Palace master, what’s a void seam? Also, what was going on with this person? Why did he attack big brother?”

A string of questions was blurted out.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master wasn’t bothered by Gu Zuo’s impatience. On the contrary, he greatly empathized with his current state of mind. After calming down somewhat, he quickly answered his questions.

Just a moment ago, what the palace master did to Yang Hu was actually a soul search.

This type of method was very rough. Once utilized, the soul would be completely destroyed. But at the same time, one could learn many pieces of information from the soul. However, this technique was rather fraudulent, and it required strong willpower to learn. As a result, few people knew about it, and even fewer could master it. In addition, the number of things one could learn through soul searching depended on the soul searcher’s proficiency of this technique.

The palace master obtained this method through a fortuitous encounter, but he had almost never utilized it. Now, it was being used to deal with Yang Hu, who was a powerhouse with an equivalent realm to his own. This was also because his wrath had reached its peak.

From the soul search, he found out about everything.

Previously, Yang Hu had been a loose martial artist with a bad reputation. Due to his vicious and unscrupulous methods, he got into conflicts with many organizations. However, his luck was very good. Following several fortuitous encounters, he underwent a monumental change, and became a Royal Realm powerhouse. After that, he went from an illegitimate child to an elder of the Yang Clan to even an old ancestor who held the entire clan in the palm of his hand.

After taking charge of the Yang Clan, Yang Hu restrained how he did things a little bit, and gradually eased those conflicts. However, his style of conduct still leaned towards the tyrannical side, which displeased many people.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master didn’t have a good impression of Yang Hu. This was because he had once witnessed Yang Hu slaughter an entire clan in a fit of anger. The palace master looked down upon this kind of narrow-minded person who indulged in violence and ruthless fights.

As for why Yang Hu made things difficult for Gongyi Tianheng and attacked him, it was due to his most beloved grandson.

That grandson was called Yang Song, and he had the best aptitudes in the Yang Clan for the past several generations. Unfortunately, he had also inherited Yang Hu’s arrogant and domineering temperament. Back when he wasn’t strong enough, the grandson ended up provoking a prodigy with the same realm from a gold-ranked organization. The prodigy directly crippled his grandson’s cultivation.

Although Yang Hu deeply hated that prodigy, the other party held an influential position in the gold-ranked organization. He wasn’t able to do anything out in the open at all. And even if he wanted to do something privately, he received the news too late, so he didn’t dare to act rashly afterwards.

Later on, Yang Hu obtained a suitable body cultivation method. This was the Yin Yang Harmony Sculpting Cultivation Method that Tianheng previously discovered. Moreover, those accelerated techniques hadn’t been improved by Yang Song. He didn’t have the strength to do so. Instead, Yang Song disdained the slow speed of this cultivation method, and put forward his own ideas. Those accelerated techniques were created by Yang Hu after he thought of a way and acquired some sinister and wicked means.

It went without saying that Yang Hu’s purpose was to reshape Yang Song’s body so that he could reconstruct it with an even more perfect aptitude. In the end, perhaps he could find an opportunity to personally kill that prodigy who humiliated him!

Shortly after that, Yang Song carefully selected a small, declining city of the unacknowledged rank. He prepared to try several methods, and quickly succeeded in reshaping his body.

This unacknowledged city was precisely Swallowtail City.

With Yang Song’s strength, even if someone discovered that Yang Song had done such a thing, so long as he shed some blood, he could negotiate with the sect that this small city was attached to, and everything would be fine. In addition, Yang Song also had a peak Royal Realm trump card. No matter what happened, he wouldn’t have lost his life. Yet, none of them expected that Swallowtail City would directly communicate with Ten Ultimates Sect, and the person who was sent would be this all-star prodigy. Tianheng had a trump card at the Heaven Lord rank. And by chance, Tianheng couldn’t tolerate that cruel and merciless scene, and immediately got rid of Yang Song.

Something that Yang Song left behind with Yang Hu was a life tile. After this life tile shattered, Yang Hu found out about it right away. Through his bloodline connection, Yang Hu deduced Yang Song’s traces, and promptly rushed over to obstruct Tianheng.

Following that, with complete disregard for everything else, were Yang Hu’s flagrant attempts at killing Gongyi Tianheng.

Of course, Tianheng had many methods at his disposal. Under Yang Hu’s persistent and oppressive assault, he fled farther and farther away. Soon, he was about to enter a city that was at least the bronze rank. From beginning to end, Tianheng had been hanging on by the thread of a single breath, but he never died. Yang Hu was extremely unwilling. Due to the pain of his beloved grandson’s tragic death, he furiously rushed forward. He couldn’t think of anything else at all. The only thing Yang Hu wanted was to kill Tianheng, so giving him the chance to seek help was even more impossible.

After that, it wasn’t known who had the better luck and who had the worse luck between the two. All of a sudden, a seam appeared in the void. Following Yang Hu’s next attack, Tianheng dodged once more, and the trajectory of his evasion happened to be where that void seam was located. He was directly forced into it...

Within the void were countless turbulent and chaotic flows. With Tianheng’s realm, he had no way to traverse it. As for the people who were drawn into void seams in the past, all of their life tiles shattered. Every single one of them completely perished!

Yang Hu was very dissatisfied that he didn’t personally kill Tianheng. As a result, he turned around and went to vent his anger on Swallowtail City. This urge to vent gave enough time for the Blood Transformation Palace Master to arrive, which also allowed Yang Hu to be vanquished.

After Gu Zuo finished listening to these things, his heart throbbed with pain. He almost drowned under this enormous agony.

He sensed that the contract’s connection between himself and big brother had become incredibly faint... Their current connection had already reached the third rank, so there was only one reason why it had become this faint. His big brother was either still alive with a single breath, or his soul hadn’t dissipated yet. Therefore, the contract vaguely survived.

The palace master looked at Gu Zuo, who was covered in a cold sweat and seemed to be twitching all over. A trace of pity and tenderness flickered through his eyes. What followed immediately afterwards was the undiminished and overflowing rage brought about by the harm caused to his apprentice!

Suddenly, Gu Zuo tightly gripped the Blood Transformation Palace Master: “Palace master, go back and look for the Tianlong Guards! See if they’re alright or not. If they’re—” Speaking up to here, his voice came to an abrupt halt.

Knowing about the connection between Gu Zuo and Tianheng, the palace master nodded at this moment: “Okay.”

After that, he carried Gu Zuo and swiftly returned to Ten Ultimates Sect.

In front of the Blood Transformation Palace Hall, Ying Yu was anxiously waiting.

He had been sent by Tianheng to report the situation, but when he rushed over, the palace master had already left. Seeing that the two had returned, Ying Yu was about to say something, but he was stopped by the palace master.

Ying Yu’s complexion changed drastically. It seemed like he had realized something.

Gu Zuo didn’t look at Ying Yu. Instead, his gaze fell onto those Tianlong Guards who were kneeling on the ground while racked with pain. In a trembling voice, he said: “Dragon Two, my big brother, is he...?”

Among the Tianlong Guards, someone raised his head with difficulty: “Young master, he...is still alive.”

Having heard what was said, it was like being granted amnesty. It appeared that Gu Zuo was about to topple over.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master reached a hand to provide support. His heartstrings also faintly loosened.

No matter what, it was good that his apprentice hadn’t perished yet.

Ever since the Tianlong Guards advanced to the Immortal Realm, it wasn’t the same as when they were at the Xiantian Realm. Once Tianheng was injured, they would immediately share the burden. However, Tianheng had total control over the “degree” of this process.

The result was the complete opposite of the relationship between Tianheng and Gu Zuo. Tianheng couldn’t split his attention to transfer his injuries, so the contract directly shifted the wounds onto Gu Zuo to save Tianheng’s life. As for the Tianlong Guards, they only felt pain in their hearts when Tianheng’s breaths were as faint as gossamer threads.

Although, no matter how painful it was, so long as the Tianlong Guards didn’t die, it proved that Tianheng was also alive.

In fact, when Gu Zuo saw that the Tianlong Guards were still alive, he already understood that big brother hadn’t perished. It was just that he couldn’t help asking Dragon Two to give himself a bit of reassurance.

In any case, it was great news that Tianheng hadn’t died after being drawn into the void seam.

Whether it was Gu Zuo or the Blood Transformation Palace Master, both of them slowly calmed down at this time.

They were also able to reflect over some issues with clearer heads.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master said: “Ah Zuo, don’t worry. I will immediately send out many subordinates to search for news of my apprentice. Since he never perished in the void, he must’ve been thrown out from another place and landed somewhere on the continent.”

Gu Zuo was still worried: “I understand. But although big brother hasn’t died, the condition of his injuries is so serious that the contract between us is blurry. In addition, the Tianlong Guards haven’t had any wounds transferred. On the contrary, it was me... I’m afraid that big brother’s consciousness isn’t clear right now, or he’s someplace dangerous.”

After big brother was thrown out of the void, who knew if the people he encountered were good or bad?

If it was a bad person...

Naturally, the palace master could also think of this problem. It was just that, despite considering these things, he didn’t have any other way.

Gu Zuo hesitated: “Palace master, if we have blood that has a relatively deep connection with big brother, can you deduce big brother’s whereabouts?”

Since that Yang Hu could do it, Ten Ultimates Sect ought to have similar methods, right?

The Blood Transformation Palace Master said: “We can give it a try.”

Gu Zuo looked at those Tianlong Guards: “Dragon Two, this time around, we’ll have to rely on the blood essence of you all.”

Dragon Two and the others responded: “As you command. We are ready and willing!”

Gu Zuo considered things, but he still didn’t feel reassured. He said: “Just in case, send someone to go find Tianyang, and ask him to produce a drop of blood essence. Bring along a flawless Blood Replenishment Pill, too. We can’t let Tianyang harm his foundations.”

The Tianlong Guards took the medicinal pill, and naturally did as instructed.

Seeing how Gu Zuo was handling the situation, the palace master was pleased.

After the numerous Tianlong Guards were dismissed, Gu Zuo hesitated for a moment. Then, he spoke to the Blood Transformation Palace Master: “Palace master, do you think that...Yang Hu is really dead?”

Of course, it wasn’t that Gu Zuo doubted the palace master. It was just that he felt a sense of disgust lingering in his heart. It was as if there was still a heavy boulder weighing heavily upon his mind. It was hard to endure.

This kind of feeling was exactly the same as when he was facing Yang Hu. If Yang Hu was dead, shouldn’t he have felt the pleasure of taking revenge against a great enemy? Previously, it was like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders, but now, that feeling had returned. This made him somewhat uneasy.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master startled: “Indeed, that body has already perished.”

However, through Gu Zuo’s many performances today, the palace master didn’t ignore Gu Zuo’s way of thinking. He quickly closed his eyes, and attentively filtered the information gleaned from Yang Hu’s soul during the soul searching from start to finish — It was completely different from before when he swallowed everything in one gulp and only focused on finding information about Tianheng.

This time, the Blood Transformation Palace Master carefully discerned. Sure enough, he discovered some blurry images. It required his best efforts to barely make out some things — He suddenly understood. Just before Yang Hu died, there were several memories that he intentionally eroded! In other words, these things were extremely important to Yang Hu!

How powerful were the palace master’s capabilities? In just a few images, he really found Yang Hu’s secret!

Shortly thereafter, he sighed: “It’s all thanks to Ah Zuo’s reminder. Otherwise, I probably would’ve missed it.”

If another one or two days had passed, among the memories left behind, those that hadn’t been carefully scanned through would’ve automatically scattered. At that time, Yang Hu’s scheme would’ve prevailed!

That’s right. Yang Hu didn’t really die.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master said: “Unexpectedly, that Yang Hu still had a clone hidden elsewhere. Although I killed his original body, the clone still exists. Now, I’m afraid that the clone already knows about the main body, and has gone into hiding.”

Gu Zuo’s face darkened: “Palace master, you must make him pay with his life!”

The palace master faintly nodded his head: “You can rest assured. I will certainly send people to search for Yang Hu’s whereabouts.”

Speaking up to here, his tone of voice sank: “Originally, I wanted to offer a reward to the world and ask many organizations to help search for Tianheng. However, he’s an all-star prodigy and a member of my Ten Ultimates Sect. Those forces might not necessarily do their best, and it’s not impossible for them to take action in the dark. Therefore, I can only order my subordinates to go out.”

Gu Zuo nodded: “Palace master, don’t worry. I understand.” He lowered his eyes, “I will also send out all of the battle slaves so that they can do a thorough search.”

The Blood Transformation Palace Master smiled, and comfortingly said: “Once there’s news, I’ll send someone to inform you immediately.”

Gu Zuo expressed his thanks again, and returned to his and big brother’s manor.

After that, he quietly waited.

Once they found Yang Hu, he would snap the bones and scatter the ashes. Once they found Tianheng, he would rescue big brother and bring him home.

Ten days later.

The pill furnace in front of Gu Zuo made a loud rumbling noise, and shattered into pieces!

He suddenly reached out and smashed his fist onto the ground with unconcealed anxiety on his face.

They still hadn’t found big brother...

Gu Zuo’s heart was filled with worry. That feeling of urgency was unbearable!

The contract’s connection was still very faint, but his wounds also hadn’t continued to worsen. Perhaps, big brother had already regained consciousness? As a result, he controlled the contract so that it didn’t transfer injuries anymore? No. Maybe it was because the contract’s connection was so weak that the injuries it could transfer were close to nothing.

For some reason, Gu Zuo, who had been worried the entire time, couldn’t calm down at all right now.

In particular, even Yang Hu’s whereabouts hadn’t been found yet.

The present matters made things somewhat difficult. For the safety of Gongyi Tianheng, whose location was still unknown, the Blood Transformation Palace Master couldn’t look for Yang Hu with great fanfare. Thus, under these restrictions, he couldn’t persecute the Yang Clan before everything was made clear. This was because the Yang Clan wasn’t an organization within the Ten Ultimates Domain. Although the Yang Clan’s reputation within their own region wasn’t particularly good, if Ten Ultimates Sect stepped across domains and dealt with the clan without any definitive justification, even if the behemoths in that region detested the Yang Clan, they wouldn’t ignore it.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master was the lord of one palace hall. When handling matters, he couldn’t act preferentially.

As a result, the palace master only sent people to secretly offer rewards to find Yang Hu’s traces.

Once any were found, there would be a large bundle of resources in hand. But when all was said and done, Yang Hu was a Royal Realm powerhouse. Even though there were ample resources, it could entice some desperate criminals, but the yielded results wouldn’t be great.

Gu Zuo knew that the Blood Transformation Palace Master was also incredibly concerned about big brother, and that he was doing everything he could, so it was only natural that Gu Zuo didn’t go and make trouble for the palace master. However, if things went on like this, the one tormented would be Gu Zuo himself.

In the middle of such torture, an evil thought finally formed in Gu Zuo’s heart.

It was a type of thought that he never imagined he would consider.

Today, Gu Zuo couldn’t bear it any longer. He reached out a hand, and grabbed a cloak.

And when he looked at this cloak, he thought of big brother. Both of them had one each... Gu Zuo’s gaze became gloomy and cold. He stopped hesitating. Draping the cloak over his body, he hurriedly left Ten Ultimates Sect!

The place that Gu Zuo headed towards was something he learned about after making some discreet inquiries... It was the location of the Dark Tower.

The Dark Tower was located underground. The majority of those who found a way to get in covered their faces so that others wouldn’t see them.

On this day, the sensual and beautiful woman in charge of receiving visitors saw a black-garbed person with their hood up. She revealed a smiling expression filled with enticement: “What does this customer desire?”

Soon after, with the shake of this person’s hand, a long sheet of silken cloth was spread out.

Written upon it were densely-packed lines of small characters.

That sensual woman’s apricot-shaped eyes suddenly widened. There was a look of astonishment across her face: “This is—”
