Demon Hand Divine Physician Volume 3 Chapter 8 Powerful Pressure! Second Update
"Hurry up and open the door for us! We've come to deliver something to you."
Two people spoke in a tone as if they were bestowing favors, with an air of superiority. Tianyin glanced at the objects held by their maidservants behind them and, with hands stained with cinnabar, swiftly drew several fire talismans on the paper, which she then threw directly at them after sealing and unsealing it.
"Ah! You damn ugly freak! How dare you use fire talismans on us!" The two didn't expect her to be so bold, and before they knew it, their skirts were set ablaze. They suddenly panicked and shouted: "Quickly, quickly put out the fire! Hurry up!"
Looking at the two of them in such a sorry state, Tianyin's lips curled up slightly. She had bought quite a few talismans on the Tiger Roar Continent back then, and now she casually drew one out. Although she didn't dare say that every single one would take effect, it was enough for her to deal with these two women.
The guards rushed in upon hearing their panicked voices, and saw that the two women's clothes were on fire, with a significant amount of their hair also burnt. The guards quickly gathered their internal earth energy to smother the flames using sand, while another guard used water energy, which was combined with the earth energy to instantly extinguish the fire. However, the two women were left disheveled and drenched, covered in sand and water. Seeing this, the guards couldn't help but ask: "Second Miss, Third Miss, are you both alright?"
"Is this okay? Can we be fine like this?"
"Damn ugly freak! You wait for us, we won't let you off! Spit, cough, cough..."
Two people were covered in sand and, because their mouths had been open earlier, they inadvertently got a mouthful. They turned back angrily and shouted a few times. Seeing that the clothes on their bodies were wet and tightly clinging to their bodies, outlining their curves: "Don't look! If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyes!"
Watching them leave with a flick of their sleeves, the guard turned to look inside at Tianyin, seeing that she was still painting talismans by the window, before turning back to stand guard outside.
The courtyard fell silent again, and she finally lifted her head to look around. Today's weather was so good; if only they were in the South Immortal Gate, they could move about freely. Now, her activity range was limited to just this courtyard. She pushed open the door and walked out, but she didn't like leaving the courtyard because there were pairs of eyes staring at her from the shadows. After being caught and brought back here, her strength was still suppressed; in their eyes, she was still only a Qi Refining Seventh Stage cultivator, unaware of how many spies they had planted here.
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes, one day, she would thoroughly leave the Gu family, and let those people know that Gu Tianyun was not a good person to bully!
She didn't expect, however, that the two women would return with her father in tow. Looking at their angry faces, she gazed calmly, having been through such situations before, there was nothing unexpected about it.
"Rebellious woman!"
She raised her hand and caught his, her eyes slightly cold, her tone distant and indifferent: "My father, I wasn't born to be hit by you." As soon as she finished speaking, she flung his hand aside.
The hand that was swung out was easily caught by her, and Gu Duan's old face turned even more iron-blue: "You, you this rebellious girl! How viciously do you want to ruin your sisters' looks? You're ugly yourself, but you're also jealous of others. Do you think everyone should become like you before you'll be happy?"
"Hehe..."
"You're a crazy woman who gave birth to an evil daughter! You... BAM!" Gu Daitian's face turned iron-blue as he cursed, but before he could finish speaking, a strong gust of air suddenly struck him, so fast that he couldn't dodge or react in time. His entire body was blown flying out.
"Pffft!"
He fell to the ground, blood surging from his chest, and a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spurted out. The pain transmitted from hitting the ground was far less than the shock and astonishment in his heart at this moment. As he lay on the ground, he looked at the woman who was filled with fierce and cruel aura, and at this moment, he felt that she was so strange...
"Dad, Dad, how are you?"
The two people who were also frightened by this scene rushed forward in a panic, helped the father who was still lying on the ground to get up, and turned back to scold Tianyin angrily. However, when they saw the killing intent and ferocity emanating from Tianyin's body, they couldn't say a word.
He was clearly an ugly freak, a cultivator of the Seventh Stage of Qi Refining, and yet he was so weak. But suddenly, he became incredibly powerful, captivating, with those icy eyes that emitted a cold aura, shooting out a dazzling light that made people dare not look directly at him.
How is it possible? She's just an ugly duckling, what elegant aura? It must be their illusion.
"You, you..." Due to the shock in his heart, Gu Heng couldn't say a word, watching her step by step approaching him, and inexplicably felt a thread of fear.
"Crazy woman? Gu Heng, I'm telling you! These three words others can say, but you, cannot!"
Her mother, a gentle and beautiful woman, left her family to marry him, but he had an affair with another woman while she was pregnant! As a result, her mother was heartbroken and died prematurely, and her beautiful face also became disfigured due to pregnancy. He then abandoned her and married another woman the year after she gave birth, forcing them to move into a dilapidated house where they were left to fend for themselves. Her mother's grief drove her mad by the time she was four years old, and yet these people continued to mistreat them! Even after her death, this man still called her a crazy woman!
The irrepressible anger caused her to burst out the strength of the foundation-building monks, and even release the pressure of the foundation-builders to the extreme. Her whole body was filled with a fierce killing aura, cold and chilling, which made the two women in the refining stage unable to stand up under her pressure and killing aura, their bodies trembling violently, cold sweat pouring out, feeling as if there was something in the air that was squeezing them, making it difficult for them to breathe, gasping for air, suffering endlessly.
"You... you... You're a Foundation Repairman!"
He stared at her with a trembling voice, shocked and stunned. This was the pressure of a foundation-building cultivator. Had she already become a foundation-building cultivator? A foundation-building cultivator who wasn't even twenty years old yet? How was this possible? There were over thirty foundation-building cultivators in their family, all of whom were around forty years old, while she...she wasn't even twenty yet. Was this really that daughter he had always disliked and neglected?
Tian Yin gave him a cold glance, turned around and went back to her own room. If it weren't for the blood relationship, if his blood wasn't flowing through her veins, she would have killed him!
"Father, how did she become so formidable?" It wasn't until Tianyin left and the oppressive atmosphere was lifted that the two of them dared to speak up. Only then did they realize that the clothes they had changed into were now drenched in cold sweat, and the fear in their hearts still hadn't dissipated, leaving them with a feeling as if they had just woken up from a nightmare.
Wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth, Gu Heng looked at Tian Yin who had just closed the door, a hint of venomous intent flashing in his eyes. What did it matter if she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator? She didn't listen to him like his other children, and could only be used by him! Now that he knew she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would have to go back on the engagement with the Wang family and demand more betrothal gifts, further increasing his own benefits!
"Hmph! Keep a close eye on her, if she escapes, you'll all be punished!" He coldly snorted, saying to the guards in the dark, then turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.
The two sisters didn't dare stay any longer either. If even their father dared to hit someone, wouldn't it be very dangerous for them to stay here?
In the room, Tianyin sat at the edge of the table in deep thought: She had still acted impulsively, revealing her true strength out of anger, and now it would be even harder for her to escape from the Gu family. How could she possibly break free?
At this time, she did not know that on a certain day soon, she would meet the person she had been thinking about in the Gu's house, Xiao Xuaner...
In the Spiritual Beast Forest, Tang Xin's group had the addition of Mo Zirou and his two companions, making the entire team much stronger. Li Yuanshan's wife had already woken up, and she cherished life even more after her narrow escape from death. Knowing that Mo Zirou and his companions were very powerful, she felt at ease walking in the Spiritual Beast Forest.
Mo Zili was thinking all the way about what his master's words and intentions were, and why they had followed this young man named Tang Xin. His deep eyes looked at the white-clothed youth who was sitting under a tree nearby, sewing needles for the child. He was obviously a weak fourth-level cultivator, but he had a confident and casual demeanor. As they walked through the spiritual beast forest, they all had to be on guard against potential dangers, but he led the child along as if they were sightseeing, completely unafraid for his own safety. Was it because he knew they were there, or did he have the ability to protect himself?
"Master brother, what is Tang Xin doing?" Mu Zi leaned over and followed his gaze to the white-clothed young man who was giving Ta Ba Ye a needle: "Although he's even more beautiful than a woman by three points, he really is an authentic man. Most women wouldn't have such grandeur if they were dressed as men, and besides, there's no Adam's apple. I've taken a good look, that Adam's apple is real."
Mo Zili glanced at her, not speaking, but instead lowered his eyelids and fell silent. On the first day he met him, he suspected that he was a girl, but as Zi Mou said, his behavior showed ease and grandeur, which was not something a woman could pretend to be, and that Adam's apple was truly genuine and not fake.
"Senior brother, do you think following him will help you find your emotional tribulation?" Xiao Yao also leaned in and smiled: "Otherwise, why would Master let us follow him together? I reckon that by following him, you'll be able to encounter the one who's your tribulation." The unavoidable emotional tribulation can only be resolved after experiencing it, he knew this matter had been troubling him too, hoping he could find that person soon and break free from his emotional tribulation.
After hearing his words, Mo Zi's black pupils flickered slightly, or perhaps it was indeed so...
"Ahh!"
A wolf howl echoed, followed by the sound of chaotic running. The mercenaries around them quickly went on high alert, ready for battle. The beautiful woman grasped Li Yuanshan's hand and looked around in alarm, her face filled with fear.
Tang Xin was still sitting there, not moving, continuing with the unfinished task in her hands. Mu Zi and several others also stood up after hearing the sound.
"Big brother, it seems like a pack of wolves."
"Ahhh..."
As soon as Muzi's voice fell, several gray wolves rushed out of the forest and pounced on them fiercely. Following closely behind were dozens more. Seeing the rank of those gray wolves, Muzi couldn't help but adjust his expression: "Eight-star Spirit Beast Wind Wolves! Equivalent to a cultivator with a foundation-building fifth-stage cultivation base! There are forty or fifty of them this time, and half of them are eight-star spirit beasts. It seems we've run into trouble!"
Forty to fifty eighth-grade spiritual beasts are equivalent to forty-five tenth-grade foundation-building cultivators. Let them deal with forty-five tenth-grade foundation-building cultivators, it's not that easy to handle.
"Little sister, this is all because of you. Last time, the wolf pack only had three five-star beasts, but now they have more than half with eight-star beasts. This time, we're done for, even if we don't die, we'll be skinned alive." Xiao Yaofei flew out, their strength could handle seven or eight eight-star spirit beasts, but twenty or so was a bit troublesome.
Mo Zili saw the two-headed wind wolf pouncing towards Tang Xin, who was busy treating Ta Baituo's injury. He hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to intervene, and saw Tang Xin turn his hand, shooting out two silver needles that struck some vital part of the wolves, causing them to convulse and fall to the ground dead.
A profound gaze swept across a hint of deep thought, and in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly praise: What quick hands! Feng Lang was already famous for his speed, yet he could capture Feng Lang's movements in an instant and shoot out the silver needle. This Tang Xin, absolutely not just a cultivator at the fourth stage of Qi Refining, his true strength must have been suppressed by him!
"Wah wah wah! Such a fast needle, such a fast technique! I was thinking you'd at least get bitten by the wolves, but who knew you'd solve two of them in an instant?" Xiao Yao exclaimed, his handsome face filled with incredulous shock. Seeing that he didn't need their concern, he let go of his hand: "Since you can take care of yourself, we don't need to worry about you either. Collecting the crystal shards from 40-50 wolves isn't a small feat, even if some are lost, it's still a gain!" As soon as his voice fell, a sharp sword suddenly appeared in his hand, its cold light and powerful sword aura sweeping across, instantly killing several three to four-star gray wolves.
"Ah..."
"Hiss!"
"Ahhh..."
The mercenaries' mournful cries accompanied the wolves' howls, echoing through the forest from time to time. There were wolf corpses on the ground, as well as mercenary corpses, with fresh blood mixed together, and a strong bloody smell wafting through the forest, making one's nose feel extremely uncomfortable. The wolf pack smelled the scent of blood, which further stimulated their ferocity and savagery. Most of the mercenaries' strength was at the peak of Qi refining, and they were not a match for these eighth-rank Wind Wolves. After a round of fierce fighting, the number of wolves decreased, and so did the number of mercenaries...
"Old, old master, be careful!" The beautiful woman hid behind Li Yuanshan's back. The wolf pounced forward, but it was Li Yuanshan who blocked its way in front, protecting the people behind him from harm. However, he himself was bitten by the wolf in several places, with deep wounds that exposed his bones and were bleeding profusely.
Mo Zili and Mu Zi Cong surrounded Tang Xin, although she could instantly kill the wolf pack, but couldn't use acupuncture needles. So they were also fighting, but didn't get too close, trying to protect her. After Tang Xin finished the last needle, she stood up with Tuo Ba Yi, handed him a dagger and said: "Little Yi, go practice your skills."
Upon hearing Tang Xin's words, several people couldn't help but pause in shock. She was actually letting a five-year-old child come and fight? Wasn't that equivalent to sending the child into the wolf's den? However, the next moment they were shocked by what happened next.
Tuoba Yi's eyes, still empty and hollow, flickered slightly as he heard her voice, before he suddenly darted out with an eerie speed, his dagger reversed in his hand, charging towards the Wind Wolves. His swift and deadly movements left several people momentarily stunned.
A five-year-old child, actually has such a strange body method? And on this road, looking at him is a bit off, I thought it was someone with a brain problem, who knew that if he didn't make a move, it would be fine, but once he made a move, it was shocking! However, that aura, why does it feel like there's some kind of evil spirit?
She saw Li Yuanshan was about to collapse, and with a flick of her wrist, several silver needles shot out, repelling the Wind Wolf that was about to pounce on him. Seeing Li Yuanshan covered in blood while his wife seemed unscathed, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. It seemed Li Yuanshan had taken all the blows for her; his left hand hung limply, trembling slightly, and the wound looked very deep.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Oh heavens! So much blood, what to do?! You're badly hurt, will your hand be crippled?! What can be done now?" The beautiful woman anxiously tried to bandage him but was clumsy and couldn't do anything, getting anxious and pacing back and forth on the spot.
"Ma'am, it's nothing, don't worry." Li Yuanshan forced a smile to comfort her. Seeing the remaining dozen or so wolves escape, and the others being killed by the crowd, he turned back to look at the mercenaries, but his face was stunned: "All... all dead..."
"What's the big deal if they die? They're paid to do their job, and it's an honor for them to die protecting us." The beautiful woman glanced at the corpse on the ground. To her, mercenaries were only worth the money she paid them; their lives couldn't compare to hers.
However, as soon as she spoke, several people's gazes fell upon her. Tang Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a hint of a smile. Mo Ziqi gave her a cold glance before shifting his gaze away, while Xiao Yao looked at the heavily injured Li Yuanshan, then at the elegantly dressed woman, and curled up the corner of his mouth in amusement. Mu Zi Cong couldn't bear to look at her anymore and opened his mouth: "I'm saying, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by 'dead is dead'? That's also a life, don't you know? They all died protecting you, yet you don't even have a word of gratitude. What kind of person are you?"
She had a few reservations about Mu Ziyan, and when he said that to her, she didn't dare speak up. Instead, she avoided their gaze and turned to her husband: "Master, let me help you sit down over there and bandage your wound."
"A few gentlemen, I apologize on behalf of my wife. She didn't mean any harm, please don't take offense." As he spoke, he slightly bowed and made a gesture, but inadvertently pressed against the wound on his body, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Hiss!"
"Alright, Mr. Li, let's treat your wound first!" Tang Xin said, her gaze shifting to Tuoba Yi who was standing aside with a bloody dagger in his hand. This kid, he's actually quite skilled, if he's cultivated further, he might become a reliable assistant in the future.
He walked over and took the dagger from his hand, wiped it clean, and said to him: "This dagger is for you, keep it well to protect yourself."
He stared blankly at her, then reached out to take the hug and stood quietly by her side. Tang Xin saw this and touched his head, smiling slightly. It shouldn't be long before he recovers.
The three people beside Mo Zili couldn't help but exchange a glance, and finally, Mo Zili hesitated for a moment before walking forward to ask: "Is he a demon cultivator?"
Some were surprised that he would ask this, after all, on this road, this person hadn't said a word to her. He immediately replied: "It's both and it isn't." Seeing the three of them looking puzzled, he explained: "He was taken away by the demonic cultivators when he was young, and they used the Soul-Sealing Technique to control him like a puppet. Now that the Soul-Sealing Technique has been lifted, his whole person has become dull and stupid, and the evil demonic energy on his body has been cleared up seven or eight tenths, so it can also be said that he is not a demonic cultivator."
"What the...! Using Soul Devouring Technique on such a young child? This is too pitiful!" Mu Zixian immediately went forward and squatted beside Tuo Ba Yi: "So you didn't say a word all along, it was like this after all! Don't worry, sister will take care of you, come, have a Spiritual Fruit, it's good for your body!" As she spoke, she really took out a Spiritual Fruit from her space and handed it to him.
But unexpectedly, Tuoba Yi stared at her blankly for a moment, then patted himself and pulled out a fruit from his body, placing it in her hand before taking hers. This scene made Muzi Dian somewhat stunned: "Is he exchanging with me? It's also a Lingguo? Where did he get such a rare spirit fruit?" Looking at the small red fruit that was emitting spiritual energy, she had never seen anything like it before.
Tang Xin smiled: "Because he's young, the demonic energy in his body isn't deep, so he recovers quickly. It's just that his ability to express himself is a bit poor. If you give him fruit, he'll know it too. Look, he even gave you the ones he was keeping for himself."
"Little Yiyu, you're so cute, sister loves you to death, come give me a kiss." Muzi Lin hugged his face and leaned in for a peck on the cheek, while Tuoba Yu stood there stupidly, not understanding what she was doing, but that originally empty and lifeless gaze flashed with a hint of spirit.
"Roar!"
A loud tiger's roar shook the ground, causing everyone to look around in shock, but no spiritual beast appeared. However, the vibration from the ground and the powerful, frightening pressure were unmistakable, making people's hearts skip a beat and feel a sense of foreboding.
"With such a powerful aura, it must be the Head God Beast!" Xiao Yao's joking expression disappeared, and he said with a serious face. Seeing that all the mercenaries were dead, only Li Yuanshan couple, Tang Xin, Tuoba Yi and the three of them were left. He looked at Mo Ziqi: "Brother, should we take a detour or what?"
