I Have Medicine-Chapter 291: Startling Changes

This copper mirror made humming noises as it shined. Right away, a shadow emerged from the mirror’s surface, and took the shape of the skull of a wild beast. Its appearance looked sinister. In no time at all, more than half of its body had emerged, except for a lengthy tail, which was tethered to that copper mirror. It seemed that the mirror was used to control it.

At the risk of being pummeled by Gongyi Tianheng, the Third Prince raised his head up, and urgently shouted: “Eat him!”

The wild beast immediately swung its head, opened its enormous jaws, and soared into the air. After that, it pounced at Tianheng to tear a huge bite out of him!

Off to the side, Gu Zuo startled: What kind of thing is that? It looks like it isn’t alive, but why does it seem like a living organism?

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a bit dispirited.

It seemed that his knowledge was still too little…

In the blink of an eye, Tianheng and the virtual image of that wild beast fought at close quarters. The wild beast was fierce and violent, and its strength wasn’t any lower than that of the Third Prince. While Tianheng fought with the wild beast, the Third Prince moved back, stamped the ground, and rose high into the air to act together with the wild beast to fight Tianheng.

At this moment, the advantage Tianheng held due to acting first had gone up in smoke. While Tianheng was fighting, he also understood that this virtual wild beast was certainly uncommon. It would be assumed that it was the Third Prince’s trump card.

Only, Tianheng didn’t know if this was his only card, or if he was still hiding a few more up his sleeves.

However, after pondering for a bit, the light armor on Tianheng’s body suddenly retracted from his right arm. And that right arm was then bitten by the maw of that wild beast.

Gu Zuo sucked in a breath of cold air.

His big brother had a tranquil appearance, but the non-participant Gu Zuo instead felt as if he was in Tianheng’s place… He was only watching like this, but he thought it was so painful!

Tianheng’s arm was torn by the wild beast, and a chunk of flesh was ripped apart. However, the difference here was that this chunk of flesh fell to the ground, and wasn’t consumed by the wild beast.

Gu Zuo furrowed his brows. He restrained himself, but nevertheless, he discharged his psychic power. At once, the chunk of flesh which had fallen to the ground was swiftly collected.

In the past, there was nothing to be done if his big brother’s flesh was wounded and eaten, but he couldn’t allow this solitary, torn piece to fall into other people’s hands!

Meanwhile, Tianheng had ascertained the approximate capabilities of the wild beast. He covered himself in the light armor once more, and continued to fight with that man and beast. Both sides fought fiercely.

And because everyone’s attentions were on the battle, Gu Zuo’s presence originally wasn’t high. But after Gu Zuo made such a move, his sense of existence immediately increased.

The expressions of everyone who took note of him were somewhat peculiar.

This pharmacist had collected Gongyi Tianheng’s flesh&#k2026; What was he going to do with it? Was it possible that it could also be used to refine medicine?

Those who thought about benefits only felt that this was the profound friendship between companions. As for those whose thinking weren’t so upright, their moods were subtle.

Once Gu Zuo put away his dear big brother’s flesh, he discovered that everyone who was looking at him had weird expressions. His face reddened. Then, after he took a deep breath, he felt that his own face had become just a little bit thicker.

— Who cared about how others looked at him? Whatever he thought about doing, he would just do it!

On the venue, Tianheng fought one against two, and was being suppressed once more. It seemed that, in order to get his revenge, the Third Prince ordered that wild beast to repeatedly bite at Tianheng. Several times, it was like the wild beast was going to swallow his head whole. The style of its attacks was especially ruthless. However, because the Third Prince had resorted to the copper mirror, his usage of profound qi had doubled. In terms of consumption, he was no less inferior to that of Tianheng.

Meanwhile, Tianheng did his best to squeeze out every last bit of true qi within himself. He also constantly searched for that wild beast’s weak points. And in the end, after relinquishing the silver spear, he used nimble body techniques to swiftly circle around that enormous wild beast’s body, and fought at close-range with the Third Prince. The direction of his attack was precisely the copper mirror, which currently floated around the Third Prince’s chest!

A reddish-gold arrow, which was about to reach that copper mirror, had been shot by Tianheng. The size of its strength and the temperature of its heat were hard to imagine. However, the copper mirror let out an ear-piercing noise, and that wild beast’s figure suddenly expanded!

The Third Prince revealed a cold and callous expression: “What do you treat this highness’ copper mirror for? If one’s realm is lower than the realm of this highness, then no matter how much true qi or profound qi one uses, it’ll all be swallowed up to replenish itself!”

His words seemed to match the virtual wild beast’s increase in size. For a moment, it made numerous spectators suck in breaths of cold air — With this kind of cheat-like object, how could anyone deal with it? Tianheng was in danger!

The concern in Gu Zuo’s heart also rose.

However, Gu Zuo definitely didn’t need to worry about this too much.

Because, just as the virtual wild beast enlarged and its strength seemed to increase, a surge of reddish-gold color suddenly ignited from within its body. In the blink of an eye, the reddish-gold power engulfed the entirety of the wild beast’s virtual form!

At this moment, revealed upon the virtual wild beast wasn’t the look of satisfaction from absorbing true qi. Rather, it was the type where satisfaction had instantaneously transformed into fright and pain!

After that virtual wild beast swallowed the power of that arrow, it was devoured instead!

Gu Zuo slowly let out a sigh of relief.

What a close call…

His heart was still beating like a roller coaster.

The Third Prince’s unfeeling and taut face finally twitched.

At once, he swatted the copper mirror and took it back into his dantian. Immediately following which, a clearly regretful and pained look appeared within his expression.

In a split second, Gu Zuo’s heart shuddered with a heavy “ba-thump”.

— Not good!

From the Third Prince’s dantian, another burst of radiance appeared.

This burst of radiance seemed particularly strange. It appeared grandiose and majestic, and it was as sharp as the point of a needle. Bit by bit, the rays of light stretched outwards.

At this moment, someone got a clear look. It was a jade ruler. It was only about three inches long and half an inch wide. The ruler flickered with a lustrous and brilliant radiance.

This thing didn’t look like an object that held incredible might. Why did the Third Prince look so regretful? Gu Zuo didn’t understand at all, but the vigilance in his heart suddenly rose by another layer.

The smiling expression on the Third Prince’s face bore a hint of abnormality. He extended a finger, and a drop of blood fell onto this jade ruler. Soon after, he threw the jade ruler, and it immediately pierced the Great Smoke Pagoda!

Right now, the Great Smoke Pagoda and the jade ruler merged together and twinkled with intense light!

At the same time, the Third Prince swooped down and attacked Tianheng once more!

Tianheng raised his fist to meet the attack!

Boom!

The attacks of the two interlocked, but regardless of whether it was Tianheng or the Third Prince, the qi energies contained within these punches had become extremely sparse.

Yes, during the continuous battle before, the energy within their bodies had nearly been used up. Presently, what they used to fight each other with was nothing more than the strength of their physical bodies!

Gu Zuo multitasked. While he monitored the Great Smoke Pagoda that seemed to be undergoing astonishing changes, he also watched Tianheng. Gu Zuo was deeply concerned over the battle situation.

Fortunately, after this big brother of his went through the Beast Blood Body Tempering, his physical body had become much stronger. He far surpassed the category of Xiantian martial artists. Otherwise, when fighting with their physical bodies, Tianheng might’ve soon lost in this face-to-face encounter. Where else could he have had the strength and vigor to resist?

The Third Prince didn’t expect that even Tianheng’s physical body could withstand his own. Displeasure flashed across his face. However, he had already resorted to using that item. He only felt that, since Tianheng’s death was only a matter of time, he wouldn’t care about it anymore. It probably wouldn’t take long for Gongyi Tianheng…to become a dead man.

Outside the venue, after the ever-guarding Binglong Army’s Chief Commander and Second Commander saw the jade ruler, their pupils suddenly shrank. They slowly approached, and little by little, they walked towards a certain location.

The other martial artists still failed to understand the situation, and only felt that the Third Prince had probably made an unusual move. All of them were curious as they waited for that move to exhibit its might.

On the high terraces, Prince Zhou’s looks changed. Young Master Xin’s facial expression also didn’t look too good.

Prince Zhou clenched his teeth and said: “This Third Zhao is truly shameless!”

Young Master Xin repeatedly flapped his fan, and quickly ordered a few subordinates over. He muttered a few words into their ears. Unwittingly, a few more quietly entered the crowd and made those people retreat.

After Prince Zhou restrained himself for a moment, he also quelled his discontent. He called someone over: “Go! Take the person in the backroom, and bring him to a tavern farther away. Also, order the people who’re still watching the battle to leave quickly!” He paused, and spoke in a cold voice, “No need to cover it up. Make them leave with great fanfare. This prince must give that Third Zhao something to think about!”

That subordinate heard what was said, and didn’t dare to neglect anything. He left without delay.

The personnel at the venue became increasingly harsh. Gu Zuo soon detected this, and his worried gaze turned straight to Tianheng. Tianheng also discovered that something was wrong, but he needed to treat things prudently during the fight.

Consequently, Tianheng retreated as he fought. He was moving in the opposite direction of the Great Smoke Pagoda.

The Third Prince wore a cold look on his face. He stated flatly: “Too late!”

Tianheng’s expression faintly shifted.

However, he didn’t reveal any flustered looks. On the contrary, he seemed even more unhurried and calm. With his last bit of strength, he put that set of light armor back onto his body.

Unfortunately, although Tianheng made this preparation, the Third Prince’s expression still made it look like victory was in his grasp.

Right at this moment, the radiance of the Great Smoke Pagoda became even more magnificent. Suddenly, an enormous black hole abruptly opened behind the pagoda. Within the black hole arose an incredibly powerful suction force, causing a gigantic squall to swirl up!

This oncoming wind was strange, and this black hole was even stranger.

Yet, the strangest thing was that the light on the Great Smoke Pagoda was suddenly shining on Tianheng’s body!

Gu Zuo only felt his mind going blank. He didn’t know how it happened, but in a split second, he appeared in front of Tianheng, and he thew himself at his big brother!
