I Have Medicine

Chapter 526 - A Chase Through the Forest

In the dense forest, three shadows were constantly shuttling between the three branches. In front of this group were three figures running at high speeds.

All of a sudden, a teenager with a tall and large physique abruptly pushed out his hands, flinging the two on his left and right farther ahead. Meanwhile, his own qi emissions rose without pause. He was about to break through a critical value and rush straight to a higher realm —

Up ahead, a male child with bright and handsome features suddenly stopped him: “You’ve accumulated a lot up to this point. Don’t break through so hastily. With the Lofty Cloud Boots on our feet, we’ll only need sufficient spirit crystals to get out of here!”

That tall and large teenager forced a smile: “There’s not enough time! The movement techniques of those three are strange. Less energy is consumed, but they’re still very fast. If I don’t stop them, I’m afraid you won’t even have the chance to replace the spirit crystals.”

The speed of his words was extremely quick, and his qi emissions continued to increase: “Originally, I came to protect you two at the young master’s orders. But now, because of the trouble surrounding me, I’ve implicated you guys instead… Let me be the one to settle this matter!”

The bright and handsome boy disagreed, and said: “This really isn’t your fault.”

The teenager didn’t say anything else. After a loud shout, the shackles he had been suppressing all along suddenly opened, and his realm advanced from peak Xiantian to the Immortal Realm in an instant!

Soon after, the teenager flashed onward, carrying a thunderous momentum. He obstructed the way of the three Immortal Realm black-clothed men, and quickly took action. Swift as a blazing wind, he was valiant and dauntless!

Amid the shocking force of his fists, a thick barrier formed, cutting off the group of three in the rear. It seemed that the main target of those black-clothed men was precisely the tall and large teenager. As a result, while they treated the teenager with heavy blows, they weren’t in a hurry to pursue the other two male children for the time being.

However, after the two boys exchanged glances, they pushed off with their feet, turned around, and went back.

In any case, they were also men of resolute dispositions. How could they let a half-grown child hold off powerful enemies by himself? Even though their strengths were somewhat inferior, that didn’t mean they were without options.

Very quickly, the bright and handsome boy shook his hand, and several medicinal pills shot out. They smashed into the ground, forming a dense, green-colored poison mist.

These were poison pills. Apart from those who took the antidote, anyone who inhaled the smallest amount would be poisoned. Shortly after that, one would suffer full-body paralysis, finding it difficult to move.

Those three black-clothed men were enveloped in the poison mist. And as expected, they came to a stop.

The two male children swiftly pulled the teenager, and carried him away extremely quickly. At the same time, the bright and handsome boy stuffed a Detoxification Pill into his mouth, allowing the teenager to immediately regain his strength.

The tall and large teenager was astounded: “This is?”

The bright and handsome boy said: “Poison pills that Ah Zuo gave us. They’re quite effective in surprise attacks. However, it looks like those three people are killers from the treacherous Ghost Division. I don’t know if they have other skills up their sleeves. The danger hasn’t been eliminated yet.”

The teenager understood clearly: “Got it.”

After that, the three of them resumed their escape.

Just as the bright and handsome boy said, once the three Ghost Division killers paused for a few breaths of time, their arms could twitch. Immediately following which, each of them swiftly took out a medicinal pill and swallowed it. Then, as their movements became unrestricted, they continued the chase.

While the bright and handsome boy fled, he casually flung his hand behind himself and scattered several pearl-like pills.

Among those medicinal pills…

Some exploded into billowing clouds of pink mist.

Some launched thousands of flying needles like repeating crossbows. The front tip of each flying needle was jet-black, coated in a wondrous poison.

Some immediately caused the ground to sink and collapse, forming a deep ravine a dozen meters long to obstruct pursuers.

Some condensed into black clouds that continuously rained drops of lustrous-green juice. Wherever these drops fell, the sizzling sounds of corrosion would be heard…

A thousand oddities and a hundred wonders would leave anyone shocked.

Although these hinderances didn’t achieve the effect of an ambush, because the performance of these pills could be seen, resolving these problems also posed a certain amount of trouble.

Gradually, the three black-clothed men were impeded, creating some distance. It was just that their realms were higher and their movement techniques were strange. Each time they overcame an obstacle, they rushed over with great speeds, shortening the distance between both sides.

The faster they ran, the faster the spirit crystals in the Lofty Cloud Boots were used up. With no other alternative, after continuously throwing out numerous pills, those two male children, who were only at Xiantian stages one and two, rapidly switched out new spirit crystals. However, such a delay allowed the three black-clothed men to get even closer.

Up ahead, the group of three fled again, but they understood that running away like this might not be an option… Most of all, they noticed that the three black-clothed men had consumed a lot of energy because of the obstructions. However, soon after stuffing medicinal pills in their mouths, their speed had quickened a little bit.

At this time, the goal of consuming the other party’s strength through blockages could no longer be achieved.

The tall and large teenager also discovered this point. He furrowed his brows, and said: “I should go back. I’ll think of a way to kill one or two first.”

The bright and handsome boy knew that their own strength wasn’t enough. He stretched out a hand: “Ah Ji, Dragon Scale Dagger.”

There was another black-robed male child whose figure was taller. His appearance was valiant and heroic, and his appearance was steady and calm. At this moment, he flipped his fingers, already holding a pitch-black dagger, and raised his hand to offer it towards the teenager.

The bright and handsome boy revealed a smile due to the tacit understanding between himself and the valiant and heroic boy. After that, he promptly said: “This is a spirit weapon with twenty percent spirituality, an item of the highest quality among human-level spirit weapons. If you make good use of it and slay Immortal Realm experts, you’ll get twice the results with half the effort.”

The teenager knew that the present situation was an emergency, and didn’t refuse. He quickly took the Dragon Scale Dagger, and hurriedly had it recognize him as its owner. Shortly after that, he turned around, waved the dagger, and slashed out an incredibly brilliant and colorful light. It was like the twinkling of dragon scales, exceptionally beautiful. Under this streak of colorful light, one of the black-clothed men sustained injuries. The teenager seized this opportunity to attack again. With a tricky angle, the move was like lightning, heading straight towards the vital point of the black-clothed man! The man’s movement techniques were marvelous, and his dodge was timely. He was able to get around it quickly. Meanwhile, as though he had long known this would happen, the teenager blocked the man’s path ahead.

At the same time, the thoughts of the two boys moved.

In front of them appeared two towering puppets. the puppet bodies were refined out of metal, and their strength was at the low Immortal Realm. Due to their son’s worries, such puppets were used for escaping if they encountered anyone who was one major realm higher than their own. Originally, they believed that they could flee by relying on the Lofty Cloud Boots, but it looked like that wouldn’t work. Therefore, they activated the puppets.

But when all was said and done, puppets weren’t genuine martial artists. Although they possessed strength, their routines and patterns were very inflexible. The only thing worthy of praised was their hard and sturdy bodies. At this moment, the puppets obstructed two black-clothed men, but these men were ruthless and sophisticated in their methods. By launching swift attacks on several of the joints of the puppets, the puppets were no match for them.

Fortunately, the two boys didn’t really make the puppets fight to defeat their enemies. Rather, this was just to stall for time.

The puppets completed their mission very well, and the two boys also weren’t idle. They were quick to take action. Both held spirit weapons, and injected the true qi of their entire bodies inside. Stimulating the radiance of the spirit weapons, they attacked the black-clothed men who were in the middle of fighting the puppets. This was just for the sake of causing them even more damage.

In fact, they really were successful.

Both of their spirit weapons were in the shape of crossbows. Contained inside were attacks from Immortal Realm martial artists. Once they injected their own bodies’ true qi, they could briefly operate the crossbows.

Soon, those two black-clothed men were shot by streaks of splendid light. Even though they were fast to sidestep, because of the puppets, their dodges were incomplete. In a split second, one person’s left arm and the other person’s right arm were pierced through.

The bright and handsome boy furrowed his brows: “Ah Ji, our combat power is still far too lacking…”

The valiant and heroic boy said: “After going back, we’ll work harder. Right now, let’s take this chance to hone ourselves.”

The bright and handsome boy smiled: “What Ah Ji says is reasonable. We both have Life Substitution Beast Pearls in our possession. At most, we’ll just cultivate again. Nothing else will happen. Tempering through life and death is seldom seen.”

Shortly thereafter, both of the male children took out another spirit weapon. Each used their most powerful martial skills, and joined forces with the puppets to attack the two black-clothed men.

Previously, those black-clothed men had been chasing the three of them like stray dogs. But how could they have imagined that they would simultaneously fight back at this time? This was too rampant and unbridled.

Naturally, even though the three black-clothed men were dispassionate and cool-headed killers, a trace of anger couldn’t help growing in their hearts.

Three puny bugs were causing so much trouble and making them expend so much effort!

The teenager gradually adapted to the power of the Immortal Realm. He was about to use his technique to kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, before he actually used it, his opponent suddenly emitted chilling qi emissions!

The next moment, the figures of the three black-clothed men changed. Their bodies became thinner, longer, and incomparably flexible. Slender black swords shot out from their wrists. Every attack was like the flickering tongue of a poisonous snake. The shape of their bodies also resembled vipers. The strength of each person had improved by at least fifty percent!

Just a moment ago, the three of them were barely fighting against the black-clothed men. Now that the men had gotten stronger, they were naturally even less their match.

Amid the battle with the puppets, the black swords of the two black-clothed men quickly pierced several sections of the puppets. The puppets immediately fell apart, and were incapable of moving any more.

The bright and handsome boy and the valiant and heroic boy were alarmed. They rapidly retreated, and threw the spirit weapons in their hands: “Spirit Weapon Blood Sacrifice!”

In the blink of an eye, those spirit weapons exploded. They bursted with incredibly powerful force that rushed straight towards the two black-clothed men! While the two men were resisting the explosion, they turned around and swiftly escaped.

The bright and handsome boy urgently shouted: “Yu Cheng, run away!”

However, Yu Cheng was already entangled with his opponent to the death.

The two black-clothed men had been wearing armor, so they withstood the explosion with only minor wounds. After that, they surprisingly resumed the chase!

The two boys quickly fled, but their moods were rather heavy.

This time around, it seemed that they really would have to use the Life Substitution Beast Pearls…

After Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng arrived at White Woods Slope, they didn’t care about anything else and headed straight into the forest. In Gu Zuo’s hand was a compass. And placed on top of this compass was a strip of cloth.

This compass was a spirit weapon. For anyone below the Immortal Realm, so long as one had an item contaminated with the other person’s qi emissions could utilize the power of this compass to conduct a search. Of course, the effect would be even better if it was the other party’s blood or flesh. If such things weren’t available, commonly used items could also be grasped with relative accuracy.

As for this strip of cloth, it was torn from an article of Gu Qi’s clothing, so it was perfect for searching for Gu Qi’s traces. As for Zhao Ji, with his current mind, he was certainly at Gu Qi’s side.

The compass needle rotated at great speeds before stopping in a certain direction.

Gu Zuo’s face lit up with joy: “Big brother, it’s this way!”

Tianheng faintly nodded his head: “You and I will search from here and pay more attention to clues along the way. I think we’ll be able to find the whereabouts of our two uncles soon.”
