I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1544 - 1543: Ruishui River

After four hours.

A flash of blood-red radiance appeared by a small river. The river meandered on endlessly, with a width of only about three and a half meters. The water was crystal clear, so clear that standing by the riverbank, one could see the colors of the riverbed at a glance, countless small pebbles settling at the bottom, the river’s surface was so quiet that even a blade of grass falling could be heard.

Swish! Swish!!

Two flashes of blood-red light appeared by the river from the air; they were Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling.

After continuously using the Demon Cloud Blood Escape, even Zhang Xiaohao felt exhausted! As soon as he steadied himself, his legs buckled, and he couldn’t help but fall back.

"Ah! Brother Xu, what’s wrong with you?" Zi Wuling asked worriedly upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao’s condition.

"I’m fine! Just a bit overexerted." Zhang Xiaohao replied.

He glanced around; everything was silent, with not a soul in sight. Yet, the view was very clear. The tidal fog that had been blocking their way had vanished without a trace, or perhaps these tidal fogs dared not enter the territory of the Ruishui River and could only linger outside.

"Huh! Brother Xu, where did the tidal fog go? Why isn’t it here?" Zi Wuling curiously asked.

"This is the territory of the Ruishui River. According to legends, no matter how powerful you are, before the Ruishui River, you are destined to be devoured!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

As he spoke, he flipped his palm, took out some elixirs to restore his energy, and swallowed them. The earlier use of Demon Cloud Blood Escape had consumed a lot of his vital essence.

"Brother Xu, what should we do? Are we going to be trapped here?" Zi Wuling asked.

"Wait!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.

Saying this, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, operating the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture to recover the energy he had spent.

About a quarter of an hour later, a huge streak of retreating light appeared on the horizon, followed closely by a figure zipping over from the horizon, stopping beside Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling after a few flickers.

"Huh! It’s you, Little Zi! Searching far and wide, only to find you without any effort at all!" The One-eyed Beautiful Woman squinted her eyes and said.

Pfftt!

This movement stirred her internal injuries again, causing her to spit a mouthful of blood.

She flipped her palm, and from a storage pouch at her waist, retrieved a bottle of elixirs, which she swallowed without a glance, then looked back in terror at the direction behind her.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhang Xiaohao and the others, a three-zhang-tall strange being appeared, with a human body but an ant’s head, holding two giant purple clubs as wide as an adult’s arm, looking coldly at the One-eyed Beautiful Woman and the others.

It stopped at the boundary of the peripheral zone, drove the two purple clubs into the ground, and sat down, a look of apparent reverence on its face.

"Phew!" Seeing the purple monster stop at the peripheral entrance, the One-eyed Beautiful Woman finally felt relieved.

She was indeed afraid that this monster would charge in and strike her a few times, for if those purple clubs hit her, she would be crippled if not dead.

With no threat from the rear, the One-eyed Beautiful Woman playfully glanced at Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling.

"Little Zi, will you come with me obediently, or shall I invite you myself?"

"Brother Xu, I’m scared!" Zi Wuling said nervously, hiding behind Zhang Xiaohao.

"Your honorable status, bullying a junior like this, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?" Zhang Xiaohao said with an unchanging expression.

"Hmph! I never care about such trivial things! As long as the goal is achieved, reputation is never part of my concern! If some reckless fool dares to gossip, I’ll just kill them!" the One-eyed Beautiful Woman said coldly.

"Aren’t you afraid it will suddenly charge in and hit you again?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Hmph! If it dared to come in, it would have done so already. If I’m not mistaken, there must be something here that it fears, so it dare not come! But that doesn’t stop me from dealing with you! Even if I’ve been injured, handling two Mid-stage Foundation Establishment juniors is just a flick of the wrist!" the One-eyed Beautiful Woman replied.

"Look quickly! That monster is coming in!" Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohao exaggeratedly pointed behind the One-eyed Beautiful Woman and shouted.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao’s exaggerated expression, the Middle-aged Beautiful Woman instinctively glanced back, only to find nothing behind her. The monster remained seated at the edge, staring intensely at her, making her realize something was wrong!

Just as she was about to act, a black inkstone floated above her head, trapping her.

"Curses! Two pesky rats dare to trick the One-eyed Beautiful Woman, I’ll rip you apart with my own hands!" the One-eyed Beautiful Woman raged.

As she was about to channel her energy to break the restraint, suddenly everything went black. Hundreds of Sky Bombs were hurling at her.

"Explode——!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted.

At his command, approximately seven hundred Sky Bombs, along with the Black Ink Restriction Platform, all exploded.

One Sky Bomb could already dispatch a Perfect Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but nearly seven or eight Sky Bombs, plus a self-destructing magical treasure, had power strong enough to kill a wounded Nascent Soul Old Monster.

Such a situation had never happened before but surely wouldn’t be the last time.

Boom Boom Boom!!!

A massive mushroom cloud shot into the sky, rolling backwards toward the sky.

The violent shockwave swept out in all directions.

No matter how fierce the shockwave, it could never destroy the ground nor spread past the Ruoshui River; any wave approaching the Ruoshui River would vanish without a trace instantly.

And for the One-eyed Beautiful Woman in the storm, she was hit hard by the strange being before, hunted down, with her internal injuries not yet fully recovered.

Caught off guard, Zhang Xiaohao’s scheme hit her again, and under the self-detonation of seven hundred Sky Bombs, her physical body couldn’t even resist; she was blasted to death directly.

A flash of cyan light appeared—a cyan Nascent Soul, resembling the One-eyed Beautiful Woman, three inches tall, hugging a storage pouch, standing on a flying sword magical treasure, enveloped in an ochre light.

No matter how much external energy assaulted it, the ochre protective shield remained as steady as a rock, unchanging.

After half an hour, the powerful explosion subsided.

Crack!

With the explosion’s aftershock dissipating, the ochre shield on the cyan Nascent Soul also shattered.

"Ah! You little brat, you’ve dared destroy my physical body; I’ll make sure you have no resting place in death!" the One-eyed Beautiful Woman roared furiously.
