Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: Damn, These Side Effects Are Huge! (2 Updates)
"You little punk, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and bring it over to us."
Tu Honglang got instantly furious when he saw Ye Haochuan standing still.
"Since you’re in such a hurry, I’ll bring it right over, hehe."
Ye Haochuan chuckled and pointed his fingers, shouting: "Tathagata’s Divine Finger!"
Whoosh~
With Ye Haochuan’s gesture, a massive golden finger, taller than a person, suddenly appeared in the air and rapidly barreled toward the three.
To this day, with Ye Haochuan’s power increasing, the might of Tathagata’s Divine Finger was not what it used to be.
However, this time, Ye Haochuan not only didn’t use the enhancement of the Communicating with God Treasure Order but also actively reduced the power of the move.
"Damn, you bastard, you still dare to resist?"
Tu Hongbai rolled his eyes and swung a palm with all his might; the display of Ye Haochuan’s move was too intimidating.
To his surprise, his palm only used up three levels of power, easily shattering the giant golden finger, while the remaining seven levels struck the small lake, sending water splashing everywhere.
"Damn! So weak yet you dare to make a move!"
Seeing this, Tu Honglang immediately charged into the lake against the falling water, heading toward Ye Haochuan without a second thought.
"Alang, don’t rush!"
Seeing Tu Honglang’s actions, Tu Hongyan quickly shouted, but his voice wasn’t faster than Tu Honglang.
"3, 2, 1."
Ye Haochuan mischievously counted as Tu Honglang charged toward him, covering mere dozens of meters in under a second, given his Core Formation Late Stage.
As soon as he reached Ye Haochuan, he raised his hand for a slap at him.
"Fall!"
At the same time, Ye Haochuan smiled and uttered a single word, and with his voice, Tu Honglang fell.
Fortunately, a large lotus leaf on the water supported him; this leaf was countless times tougher than a regular one, and even with Tu Honglang on it, it didn’t wobble.
If not, his bones might not have remained intact now.
Ye Haochuan curled his lips, seemingly a bit regretful but too lazy to attack again, and said to the remaining two: "Are you ready to become punching bags?"
Two measly Core Formation Late Stage guys, he truly didn’t care about them.
"Alang!?"
At the shore, Tu Hongbai’s face changed with shock as he watched Tu Honglang fall.
"Big brother, be careful, the water is poisoned!"
Not having stopped Tu Honglang earlier, Tu Hongyan clung tightly to Tu Hongbai’s sleeve this time.
"Tathagata’s Divine Finger!"
Ye Haochuan ignored the pair at the shore, merely chuckling coldly, extending his right hand, pointing with two fingers, releasing the boosted move with Xuanwu Force Vein and Communicating with God Treasure Order.
The same move packed different power, this time reaching Core Formation Peak level.
"The same trick again? No memory at all."
Unaware of this, Tu Hongbai felt even more disdain for Ye Haochuan, extending two fingers coolly, saying: "See me strike back with Destruction Finger!"
Needle-sharp beams shot out from his fingertips, clashing with Ye Haochuan’s Tathagata’s Divine Finger.
Ting ting ting~
With a series of sounds, Tathagata’s Divine Finger swiftly broke through the beams, striking Tu Hongbai solidly while he watched in disbelief.
"Big brother!"
Tu Hongyan panicked, rushing forward, unable to put his wit to use amid rapid developments.
Bang bang~
The two Core Formation Late Stage men were knocked to the ground by Ye Haochuan’s move, spitting blood, utterly powerless.
"You... aren’t Core Formation Early Stage? You’re Core Formation Peak!"
Suppressing pain, Tu Hongyan shakily looked at Ye Haochuan, eyes full of shock, resembling a drenched chicken.
His heart lamented, why do the experts always pretend to be weak and prey on the strong.
What! It’s over, doomed now~
Beside him, Tu Hongbai fainted in fright as he heard this.
"Speak, who are you guys, and what are you doing here?"
Ye Haochuan didn’t reply, only saying coldly: "You have ten seconds to tell me."
"We... we’re from the Tu Family, here to gather herbs, to save a life, please... spare us, we didn’t mean to provoke you."
Watching the unconscious Tu Hongbai and Tu Honglang, Tu Hongyan trembled with fear, overshadowed by the shadow of death.
Ye Haochuan had witnessed the Tu Family’s Alchemy before; if he could obtain their pill recipe here, hehe.
Ye Haochuan eyed the group with interest, saying: "Tu Family, huh?"
"Yes, yes, we’re the grandsons of Medical Immortal Tu Hongshan. If you spare us, we’ll repay you. I... I can get my grandpa to heal you..."
In desperation, Tu Hongyan blurted out all his bargaining chips.
To others, this might be agreeable, but alas, Ye Haochuan himself was a top Medicinal Cultivator; he needed what Medicinal Cultivators had.
So, Ye Haochuan asked with a grin: "Then, do you have Tu Hongshan’s pill recipe?"
"What? Yes...yes... there’s a copy." Tu Hongyan hastily replied.
"Great, let’s make a deal. Give me that pill recipe copy, and I ensure your safe descent, how about that?"
Ye Haochuan gazed at Tu Hongyan, like a big bad wolf enticing Little Red Riding Hood.
Hesitating for less than three seconds, Tu Hongyan handed the pill recipe to Ye Haochuan.
"Excellent."
Ye Haochuan grinned as he took the pill recipe, then his expression shifted as he muttered: "Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal!"
Bang~
Tu Hongyan collapsed to the ground.
"Damn, the side effects are really severe!"
Ye Haochuan too succumbed to weakness, having forcibly used the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal to erase memories, it took a toll.
This pill recipe was a top secret for the Tu Family; if their higher-ups found out he snatched it, it might cause trouble. Thus, he spared no effort to erase their memories.
However, given his current power was too low, he could only erase a person’s memory from the past minute with a 30% failure rate, and the usage left him enervated for five minutes.
Ten minutes later.
"Hmm?"
Tu Hongyan opened his eyes, Ye Haochuan examined them closely; aided by the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal, he clearly saw the hint of red in Tu Hongyan’s eyes.
Hehe, great luck, success on the first try.
Ye Haochuan felt immensely proud, that sense of satisfaction trumped drinking cold water on a hot day.
"You...who are you...don’t come closer, we’re from the Tu Family, please, spare us..."
Tu Hongyan, just like seeing Ye Haochuan for the first time, began pleading.
Indeed, waking from the seal, Tu Hongyan had no memory of prior events.
"My name is Ye Haochuan!" Ye Haochuan was laughing inside, but he maintained composure, nonchalantly introducing himself.
Ye Haochuan? Who the hell is that? Never heard of him!
Hearing this, Tu Hongyan was dumbfounded, his face showing pure confusion as he looked at Ye Haochuan.
