"Ahh …"
Endless resplendent dragon-shaped sword Qi burst out, and a mournful scream rang out from within the black light barrier.
Under Ye Xuan's cold gaze, Apothecary Wang Yuan's body was struck by the dragon-shaped sword Qi released by the dragon blade. He let out a mournful scream as his body flew out like a cannonball, heavily smashing into the wall of the black light barrier.
"Bang …" "Ka-cha …"
Apothecary Wang Yuan's body collided with the wall of black light. The terrifying impact exploded, and the hard wall of black light only lasted for a moment before shattering.
After Apothecary Wang Yuan's body smashed into the wall of black light, he flew backwards without slowing down. Under the shocked gazes of Yuan He and the many Medicine God Hall guards, he smashed into the fake mountain in the center of the courtyard, shattering it into pieces.
A large amount of black blood sprayed out of his mouth as he heavily smashed into the pond below the fake mountain, becoming a drenched chicken.
"Master Apothecary!"
"Master Apothecary, how are you?"
"Master Apothecary, are you alright?"
Seeing this scene, the many guards of the Medicine God Hall quickly regained their senses after a short period of shock. They jumped into the pool and helped the drenched Apothecary Wang Yuan up, words of concern coming out of their mouths.
At this moment, Wang Yuan no longer had the slightest bit of the sage-like appearance he had before.
His disheveled hair was draped over his shoulders, and his aged face was filled with pain and malevolence. His expensive alchemy robes had been torn apart by the blade energy, and a wound that had pierced through his upper body appeared on his chest …
The wound was so deep that bones could be seen, and blood continuously flowed out. It was a ghastly sight to behold.
If it wasn't for the fact that this fellow had a flame armor condensed from cold ghost flames to protect his body, he probably would've been cut into two by Ye Xuan's Half Dragon Blade.
Without a doubt, the current Apothecary Wang Yuan had suffered heavy injuries from Ye Xuan's repeated attacks.
"Cough cough …"
He clutched his chest and coughed violently. Traces of black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, making him look extremely weak.
Looking at Apothecary Wang Yuan's sorry state, Yuan He frowned slightly. He raised his head to look at Ye Xuan, who was holding the dragon blade in his hand, and was almost unharmed. His eyes flickered with wisdom as thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Elder Yuan, how is it? Are you okay? "
In the next moment, he quickly walked in front of the Medicine Master, Wang Yuan, and words of concern came out of his mouth.
"It's alright! I've underestimated that damned brat … "
Apothecary Wang Yuan endured the pain from his body and stuffed a healing pill into his mouth. He stared at Ye Xuan and coldly said, "Yuan He, let's join forces and kill that brat!"
"Alright!"
Hearing Honorable Apothecary Wang Yuan's words, Yuan He's eyes flashed and he gently nodded.
"Do it!"
Master Apothecary Wang Yuan let out a stern shout. He forcefully endured the injuries on his body and charged towards Ye Xuan with boundless killing intent. He once again launched an attack against Ye Xuan.
The astral energy in Yuan He's entire body surged. As a five star Martial King, his aura erupted without reservation. He followed closely behind Wang Yuan and charged towards Ye Xuan, attacking him.
Violent energy gathered in Yuan He's hand, causing his palm to be surrounded by green astral energy. It was as if it was a sharp claw from the netherworld!
Ye Xuan's face didn't fluctuate in the slightest as he looked at the charging Apothecary Wang Yuan and Yuan He. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he used the Star Steps and transformed into a ray of light as he charged towards Apothecary Wang Yuan and Yuan He. The dragon blade in his hand whistled out, and two sharp blade Qis bloomed as they attacked the two of them, but they easily dodged them.
"Ahh …"
Seeing that Ye Xuan was getting closer and closer to Apothecary Wang Yuan and Yuan He, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to attack, Apothecary Wang Yuan's mournful scream suddenly sounded out. His charging figure even quietly froze …
Under the astonished gazes of Ye Xuan and the surrounding guards of the Medicine God Hall, Yuan He, who was originally following behind Apothecary Wang Yuan to attack Ye Xuan, suddenly changed his target and launched a surprise attack on Apothecary Wang Yuan.
His Nether Claw, which was covered in green astral energy, pierced through Apothecary Wang Yuan's back without any warning, easily tearing through his skin and piercing into his body. It pierced through his chest and came out from his chest …
"Pata, pata …"
Traces of jet-black blood flowed out from Apothecary Wang Yuan's body.
He lowered his head with great difficulty and looked at the palm that had pierced through his chest. His old face was filled with shock and confusion. Obviously, he did not expect that Yuan He would actually kill him.
He forcefully endured the pain in his body and turned his head with great difficulty. His gaze landed on Yuan He, and a weak and puzzled voice came out of his mouth, "Wh …" Why? "
He didn't understand why Yuan He would try to kill him.
One had to know that his relationship with Yuan He had been pretty good over the years. The two of them could be considered to be close friends.
"Chi!
Chi! "Yuan He did not answer. Instead, with a cold expression, he pulled his bloody palm out of Apothecary Wang Yuan's body.
"Puchi …" "Cough cough …"
Apothecary Wang Yuan coughed violently as a large amount of black blood and shattered internal organs sprayed out of his mouth. His body powerlessly fell to the ground and quietly died.
Perhaps, even in death, he still wouldn't understand why Yuan He would sneak attack him!
"Lord Apothecary!"
"Lord Apothecary …"
Seeing the fallen Apothecary Wang Yuan, the expressions of the guards of the Medicine God Hall changed drastically. They charged towards Yuan He with a sharp killing intent and surrounded him.
"You don't know the meaning of death!"
Seeing this, Yuan He's expression was ice-cold. He waved his claws and a terrifying force whistled through the air, easily tearing their bodies apart.
In just a moment, the guards of the Medicine God Hall were completely taken care of by Yuan He.
A cool breeze blew and leaves danced. Only Ye Xuan and Yuan He were left in the courtyard.
Ye Xuan's face didn't have the slightest expression or fluctuation as he looked at Yuan He with interest.
And at this moment, Yuan He was also looking at him!
Their eyes met, and an invisible aura spread out from their bodies, causing the atmosphere in the courtyard to suddenly become quiet, strange, and incomparably oppressive.
"Subordinate Yuan He pays his respects to the Second Generation Demon Lord!"
In the next moment, Yuan He suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Ye Xuan. He cupped his fists and respectfully spoke.
"Subordinate? Second generation Demon Lord?
"Hearing Yuan He's words, the corners of Ye Xuan's mouth curled up slightly as he spoke with interest.
"Young Master Ye Xuan is the successor of the Demon Lord and has inherited the will of the Demon Lord. Therefore, the Second Generation Demon Lord is worthy of being called the Second Generation Demon Lord. Under your command, the Demonic Palace will definitely rise. Yuan He dares to beg the Second Generation Demon Lord to take him in.
Yuan He cupped his fists together as he looked at Ye Xuan with a face full of fervor and worship.
This fellow's words were hot-blooded and extremely infectious, as if he was a fanatical follower of the Demon Lord.
"As far as I know, your relationship with the Medicine Master is not ordinary, and the Evil Emperor has also treated you well in the past. Why would you do this?"
Ye Xuan walked over to Yuan He and carefully sized him up as he asked in confusion.
"My lord, you might not know this, but although I am the City Lord of Bright Sun City, the one in control of Bright Sun City is the Medicine God Hall and not the City Lord's Mansion. I don't have any real power, and everything in Bright Sun City is decided by the Medicine God Hall …"
"Furthermore, although I have always worked for the Evil Emperor Pavilion, I have always been a fan and supporter of the Demon Lord. Now that the Evil Emperor has been defeated by you and has given up on the Evil Emperor Pavilion, I have the chance to abandon the darkness and seek the light … Killing the Medicine Master just now was just a gift from me to my lord to express my loyalty to my lord. I hope that my lord can take me in!"
Yuan He's words were incomparably honest. Combined with his words of helping Ye Xuan kill the Medicine Master, Wang Yuan, it could be said to be extremely convincing.
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely believe his words. However, Ye Xuan was extremely clear about this fellow's background.
In the information that Philadelphia's richest man, Jack Ross, had given him, Yuan He had participated in the siege of the Demonic Palace and the encroachment of the Demonic Palace's forces. Many members of the Demonic Palace had died in his hands.
Now, this fellow had killed the Medicine Master, Wang Yuan, in exchange for Ye Xuan's trust and even said that he wanted to join Ye Xuan's forces to serve him.
In Ye Xuan's opinion, this was simply nonsense.
However, he didn't expose Yuan He. Instead, he wanted to see what kind of medicine this fellow was selling in his gourd.
At this moment, Ye Xuan only lightly smiled as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. A calm voice came out of his mouth, "Since that's the case, then follow me from now on!"
After he finished speaking, Ye Xuan no longer paid any attention to Yuan He and turned around to leave.
However, the instant Ye Xuan turned around, the right hand he placed in front of him condensed energy and prepared to attack.
The corners of Yuan He's mouth curled up slightly as he looked at Ye Xuan, who'd turned around and left. A sneer appeared on his face.
He took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and hurriedly followed. Flattering words came out of his mouth, "My lord, now that the Medicine God Hall has been destroyed, please come to my City Lord's Mansion as a guest and let this subordinate welcome you!"
"Alright!"
Ye Xuan didn't even turn his head as he indifferently replied.
Looking at Ye Xuan's back, Yuan He quickened his pace and got closer and closer to Ye Xuan. When he was less than half a meter away from Ye Xuan, killing intent blossomed in his eyes. He tightly gripped the dagger in his hand and stabbed it towards Ye Xuan's back like lightning.
Rushing Thunder Thrust!
Yuan He's movements were simply too fast, and there was no warning at all. At such a close distance, it was impossible for anyone to dodge!
Yuan He was 200% confident that his attack would pierce through Ye Xuan's body.
It was as if he could already see Ye Xuan's body being pierced by a dagger and falling at his feet. Then, he'd take Ye Xuan's head to Emperor Qing to receive his reward and start a brand new life.
Sensing Yuan He's actions, a sneer appeared on Ye Xuan's face. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Star Flash was suddenly used beneath his feet, causing his body to leave behind an afterimage as he strangely disappeared from where he stood.
"Afterimage? He dodged it? How is this possible? "
In the next moment, Yuan He's dagger pierced through Ye Xuan's afterimage, causing his expression to change drastically. His face was filled with shock.
Ye Xuan's body strangely appeared behind him. His right hand, which was surrounded by demonic energy, carried a strong killing intent as it pressed down on Yuan He's back like lightning.
Yin Yang Tyrant Body Technique's second martial skill: Crescent Moon!
"Puchi …"
A dull sound of collision rang out. Yuan He felt as if he had been struck by lightning. A large amount of black blood sprayed out of his mouth as his body flew backwards like a cannonball.
