825: A desperate fight

As the two continued their exchange, Gu Xingchen felt sincere admiration for Yang Lingchen's medical skills and Alchemy.

He truly did not expect that the young man before him had attainments in medical skills and the Dao of Alchemy that were not the least bit inferior to his own, and in some aspects, even far surpassed him.

Of course, Gu Xingchen did not know that Yang Lingchen was actually still holding back.

Otherwise, with Yang Lingchen's attainments in medical skills and the Dao of Alchemy, he would have been more than qualified to be Gu Xingchen's Revered Master.

"Little Brother, I wonder if you have any interest in joining the Medical Immortal Pavilion? This old man can let you be the Pavilion Revered Master." Gu Xingchen said sincerely.

At this moment, he was completely convinced by Yang Lingchen. In the few hours of exchanging ideas with Yang Lingchen, some medical problems that had long troubled him had all been perfectly resolved.

If not for the sake of Face, he really had the thought of taking Yang Lingchen as his Revered Master.

"Senior, this Junior's ultimate goal is the Peak of Cultivation. As for medical skills and the Dao of Alchemy, they are merely this Junior's hobbies." Yang Lingchen said.

He did not want to waste all his time on practicing medicine and Alchemy.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Since Little Brother has his own ultimate goal, this old man cannot persuade you otherwise. This is my sound transmission jade; come over and have tea with this old man whenever you are free." Gu Xingchen said with regret.

"Rest assured, Senior. If you have any matters, you can also look for me at any time." After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he also handed over his own sound transmission jade.

Afterwards, he left the Medical Immortal Pavilion and walked all the way towards his residence.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was eager to study that nine profound exquisite pagoda; intuition told him that this was definitely not an ordinary object.

"You are Yang Lingchen."

Suddenly, a cold voice filled with Killing Intent rang out, and immediately following that, a young man wearing luxurious brocade clothes appeared in front of Yang Lingchen.

"Who are you?"

Yang Lingchen said coldly, while secretly becoming vigilant. The opponent's cultivation level had already reached the ninth layer of the Spirit Immortal Realm, far beyond what he could currently contend with.

If the opponent truly made a move against him, his chance of survival would be almost zero.

The rules of the East Immortal Academy were not rigid; if Disciples of the same level fought and casualties occurred or someone's Dantian was crippled, they would be severely punished.

But if an Inner Court Disciple killed an Outer Court Disciple, the punishment received would be correspondingly much smaller. After all, the status of an Inner Court Disciple in the Academy was obviously much higher than that of an Outer Court Disciple, and the value of both sides was simply not on the same level.

Naturally, the Academy could not cripple an Inner Court Genius Disciple for the sake of an Outer Court Disciple.

"Kneel down and cripple your own Dantian, and This Young Master can spare your life today."

Gu Jiancheng's voice was bone-chillingly cold, and his eyes, sharp as an eagle's, were like sharp swords, as if they wanted to tear Yang Lingchen apart.

"You want me to cripple my own Dantian? You don't have that qualification yet." Yang Lingchen stared straight at the opponent, and the sky-splitting spear instantly appeared in his hand.

Even if the opponent's strength was stronger, Yang Lingchen could not just surrender without a fight.

"I have already given you a chance. Since you do not cherish it, then go to hell."

A fierce glint flashed in Gu Jiancheng's eyes. He saw him suddenly wave his right hand, and a wisp of white light instantly shot out from his palm.

This wisp of white light turned into an invisible Sword Qi in mid-air, shooting towards Yang Lingchen in an instant.

Facing the incoming Sword Qi, Yang Lingchen had no time to react, but out of instinct, he slightly leaned to the right.

"Swish...!"

Although Yang Lingchen avoided the fatal vital spot, this wisp of Sword Qi still pierced through his right chest, causing him severe trauma.

"Stinky brat, you really do have some ability."

Seeing Yang Lingchen avoid his must-kill strike, Gu Jiancheng violently waved his right hand forward, and a wave of invisible air surged towards Yang Lingchen.

This time Yang Lingchen was prepared in advance and directly held the undying god king seal against his body.

"Rumble...!"

Although the undying god king seal blocked most of the energy, Yang Lingchen's body was still sent flying backward from the impact.

"Crack...!"

With a crisp sound of bone fracture, Yang Lingchen's sternum was shattered on the spot, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

And Yang Lingchen also took advantage of the momentum of being pushed back; before his body landed, he transformed into a blood shadow and disappeared from the spot.

At this critical moment of life and death, he could no longer care about so much; as long as he could escape with his life, even if he lost a lot of blood qi, it wouldn't matter to him.

"What a cunning brat, you still want to escape in front of This Young Master." Gu Jiancheng snorted coldly, his figure like a bolt of lightning, instantly chasing after Yang Lingchen.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was very desperate; his body was already severely injured. If no Elder appeared, he would be in danger today.

"Stinky brat, you can't run away."

Gu Jiancheng's voice carried a hint of mockery. His speed instantly increased several times, and in a short while, he blocked Yang Lingchen's path.

Facing Gu Jiancheng who suddenly blocked his path, Yang Lingchen didn't even think; he instantly summoned the nine profound exquisite pagoda from the haotian jade space and smashed it towards Gu Jiancheng.

At this life-and-death moment, Yang Lingchen could only pin his hopes on the nine profound exquisite pagoda.

"Death is at hand, and you still dare to struggle in vain."

Gu Jiancheng sneered, and a violent Fist Aura attacked heavily towards the nine profound exquisite pagoda.

"Rumble...!"

Following a heaven-shaking loud noise, Yang Lingchen's body, like a kite with a broken string, slammed heavily into the mountain wall not far away.

And Gu Jiancheng's body only swayed slightly before he lunged towards Yang Lingchen again.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen, holding the nine profound exquisite pagoda, wanted to smash it over again.

Just at this moment, the blood on Yang Lingchen's chest suddenly touched the nine profound exquisite pagoda. Immediately, a white light flashed, and the nine profound exquisite pagoda instantly submerged into his body.

"Damn it, is heaven trying to kill me?"

Yang Lingchen was dumbfounded, but his reaction was also very fast. He quickly took out the undying god king seal again, preparing for a desperate fight.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and immediately following that, Liu Yunnan's figure appeared in front of Yang Lingchen, and then he blasted a palm towards Gu Jiancheng.

"Boom...!"

Facing the suddenly appearing Liu Yunnan, Gu Jiancheng was directly sent flying with a slap.

"Pfft...!"

After landing, Gu Jiancheng sprayed a mouthful of blood. He looked coldly at Liu Yunnan, "Liu Yunnan, this brat killed my younger brother. Are you sure you want to protect him?"

"Gu Jiancheng, Yang Lingchen and your younger brother had a fair fight on the Arena. You, a dignified top ten Genius of the Inner Court, running over to make things difficult for an Outer Court Disciple—don't you feel ashamed?" Liu Yunnan said coldly.

Gu Jiancheng was a famous Genius in the Inner Court. If it weren't for owing a favor to Huangfu Zhengtian, Liu Yunnan would not want to offend a Genius like Gu Jiancheng.
