Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 24 Yesterday's Abyss, Today's Shallows (Seeking monthly tickets and follow-up reading)

Zhongli and Xiao Yixian slowly stopped and turned around, only to see a thin and bony old man, followed closely by dozens of armored mercenary monks.

"Hmph, boy, did you harm my precious son?" The thin old man who was in the lead asked first.

Before Zhong Li could respond, Little Medical Immortal's face was already filled with fear. She quickly hid behind Zhong Li, cautiously poking her head out, and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Yao, Yao San deserved it. Besides, I have nothing to do with Wanyaozhai anymore. Besides, you are definitely no match for my master. I advise you to go back. For the sake of our past friendship, I advise you not to seek death."

"This little fellow speaks harsh words in the softest tone." Zhongli gently stroked the little head that was still trembling slightly.

This instinctive reaction was perfectly normal. After all, she had lived under a cloud for a long time. Although she had relied on her wisdom, knowledge, and even a lot of luck to survive in the perilous Qingshan Town, managing to navigate all sides and maneuvering between various forces, everyone here was capable of easily crushing her, which was truly difficult for her.

"Hmph, Little Medical Immortal, if you weren't the cash cow of my Wanyaozhai, why would I have waited until now? Now you dare to collude with outsiders to kill my son. I swear I am not a human being until I avenge this! I want to see how long your pretty boy master can protect you."

Mr. Yao had already fallen into a state of madness at this time. The moment he learned of his son Yao San's death, his spirit completely collapsed and he went crazy.

Just as Mr. Yao was laughing wildly, a man in elegant attire suddenly unleashed his magical powers. His bright red wings, shaped like fighting spirit, instantly spread open, and with overwhelming force, they hovered above Mr. Yao and his entourage.

"Hahahahahaha, I spent all my family wealth and invited He Qian, the head of the He family, to help me. He is a three-star Dou Wang powerhouse. Add to that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and the Snake Nest Mercenary Group by my side, hahahaha, Little Medical Fairy, I have promised the two leaders that after this, you will belong to them both, hahahahaha."

In mid-air, a barely perceptible embarrassment crept across He Qian's face. After all, the moment the Little Medical Immortal's stunningly beautiful face came into view, his thoughts, originally focused solely on money and elixirs, had quietly shifted. But what was the harm? As a dignified Dou King, how could he care so much about the lives of a few Dou Masters and a host of other fighters? Mr. Yao was now worthless, and sooner or later, the He family would own Wanyaozhai.

At this time, He Qian was still pondering in mid-air, while Mr. Yao below could no longer hold back and launched a charge impatiently.

"Charge! Kill! Boy, give me back my son's life!" Mr. Yao instantly unleashed all his five-star fighter strength. As he roared, the mercenary groups on both sides rushed towards Zhongli and the others like a tide.

……

"Collect everything." Zhongli stretched out his arms horizontally to gather strength, and put his five fingers together to draw the resonance of the earth veins. Rock elements spiraled up from his palms. When he raised his elbows, the crystal shell that gradually formed broke and reorganized into a translucent jade shield that attached to the bodies of Zhongli and Xiao Yixian.

As Xiao Yixian watched those past nightmares resurface, fear and panic filled her heart. She instinctively crouched down, clutching her head tightly in her hands. However, the expected horrific blow never arrived. After a moment, Xiao Yixian slowly raised her head and opened her eyes. She saw that those beings she once admired were now continuously attacking the Jade Shield surrounding her, but their attacks were ineffective.

Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, was holding the saber with green fighting spirit flames and was slashing at the Yu Zhang shield with all his strength. However, Mu She's attack failed to cause even the slightest ripple on the solid Yu Zhang shield.

"Have you not yet completely overcome the fear lurking within you?" Zhongli's voice suddenly echoed through the silent and tranquil world of Little Medical Immortal. Thanks to Zhongli's divine power, the Jade Shield now also possessed soundproofing properties.

Zhongli slowly turned his head, the Earthly Chains on his shoulders gleaming faintly. In an instant, a golden and white longsword appeared in his hand.

"I carefully extracted and condensed this sword from pure amber. I named it Peak-Chopping Blade. Pick it up and declare to your past, present, and future selves: Yesterday's abyss is today's shallows!"

Xiao Yixian gently took the sword that cut through the past, her gaze fixed fiercely on the approaching Mu She. With the deepest murderous intent in her heart, Xiao Yixian lashed out with her "first sword" of her life with all her might.

In an instant, a miracle occurred. The meticulously crafted blade, upon contact with the Jade Shield, merged perfectly with it, piercing through it and fiercely slashing down on Mu She's arm. Immediately afterwards, Mu She's left arm shattered with a clang.

The sharp edge of the Chopping Peak Blade, capable of slicing through iron like mud, instantly astonished everyone outside the shield. However, Zhongli and Little Medical Immortal would not let them go so easily. Just as they were beginning to consider retreat, something incredible happened.

Under the feet of everyone outside the shield, as if under a spell, thick vines broke through the ground and rose rapidly, instantly locking them in place, as if they were the shackles of fate, making it impossible for them to break free. They could only wait quietly for the sharp blade of the Little Medical Fairy to fall.

……

Even after Mr. Yao and his mob were easily dealt with by the Little Medical Fairy as if cutting melons and vegetables, He Qian in mid-air still had no intention of taking action.

Zhongli slowly turned his gaze towards He Qian and said calmly, "Are you still planning to take action?"

"Hahahaha, of course. But I have to thank you. You've done me a big favor. This way, not only can I swallow up the assets of Wanyaozhai and the two major mercenary groups, but I can also enjoy this little beauty all to myself. Hahahaha." He Qian laughed obscenely in the air. "Boy, there is no grudge between you and me. I can give you a choice. Give me the Little Medical Fairy, and I'll consider letting you go."

"But what if I don't let you? What then?" Zhongli said with an elegant smile on his face.

"You won't let me? Humph, then you'll leave your life here." As soon as he finished speaking, the aura around He Qian suddenly surged, and his figure pounced towards Zhongli like lightning.
