I Have Medicine Chapter 460 - The So-Called Path of Domination

Chapter 460 - The So-Called Path of Domination

In just a single clash, the other side suffered the deaths of about a dozen people.

One shouldn’t focus on how these dozen or so people had collided with that Blood Palm. After these people perished, the b.l.o.o.d.y liquid created from their dissolved bodies flowed beneath the Blood Palm. Then, strands of liquid were gradually extracted to reinforce the Blood Palm’s strength… It got to the point that, although some of the Blood Palm’s power had been used up just now, it was slowly recovering to its initial state.

It could be said that, so long as this forty-layered Blood Palm was arranged here, no matter how many people followed up, they would be continuously wiped out. Though, if they wanted to get rid of this Blood Palm, it wasn’t like there weren’t any ways to do so — It was just that, before that could be accomplished, they needed to use their own lives to overcome it, or utilize extremely formidable attacks to destroy it!

Inside that luan-bell chariot, a cold, lightning-like gaze swept over. Carried within this gaze was an insufferably arrogant sense of domination. Under this gaze, it was as if all the heroes of the world would be scared into submission and suppressed. At this moment, the fury contained within this gaze was like a lofty deity that wanted everyone who offended him to tremble in fear. It was terrifying!

The owner of this gaze was precisely Prodigy Huo Li!

Gongyi Tianheng faintly raised his head, and locked gazes with the other party.

In a split second, the sightlines of two people instantly clashed swords, and quickly staggered apart.

If it was said that Prodigy Huo Li’s gaze was an inviolable tyrant, then Tianheng’s gaze was a type of pinnacle-level calmness. And in the depths of this calm was a constrained trace of madness and fervor. It appeared that, so long as a hole was pierced into these depths, this madness would detonate immediately, carrying with it a horrifying power.

Undoubtedly, Huo Li’s domination couldn’t subdue Tianheng’s calmness. Thus, while both people’s gazes intersected, Huo Li memorized this gaze, and took note of Tianheng.

Following this, Huo Li’s subordinates still continued to ceaselessly charge ahead. Merely, this time, they avoided Tianheng and the others. They only conducted attacks on the soldiers guarding the gates.

It didn’t take long for rivers of blood to flow. As for that powerhouse at the top of the city gate tower, he also quickly took action. Both this powerhouse and Prodigy Huo Li exchanged blows several times in the sky!

Meanwhile, the area of land occupied by Tianheng, Gu Zuo, and the others was kept separated.

Regardless of whether it was the city guards or Huo Li’s subordinates, everyone turned a blind eye to them.

Gu Zuo had the leisure to let out a sigh: “Big brother, for that Prodigy Huo Li to not explain his reasoning beforehand, and instead drag the city guards into this… Isn’t Prodigy Huo Li’s way of doing things just making enemies wherever he goes? How is this beneficial to him?”

Tianheng faintly shook his head: “Huo Li is indeed rude and unreasonable, but he really isn’t…” He used a turn of phrase that was appropriate for the vocabulary of the modern world, “His IQ isn’t low.”

Gu Zuo laughed dryly.

Sure enough, big brother understood him, and knew he inwardly thought that this fellow’s IQ was low… However, he still felt that Huo Li wasn’t very intelligent, but big brother said otherwise?

Tianheng smiled: “Just now, from that cursory exchange of blows, it can be seen that what Prodigy Huo Li studies is a school of ultimate knowledge that has an extremely high rank. Perhaps, it’s even a heaven-level ultimate knowledge. The willpower contained within those moves is precisely the path of domination. The more overbearing and tyrannical he behaves, the greater the power of that ultimate knowledge. Thus, it’s only natural that he goes on a rampage without any scruples.”

Gu Zuo startled: “In order to learn martial arts, he intentionally allows himself to become like this?”

Tianheng slightly pondered. Shortly thereafter, he shook his head again: “It also isn’t completely as such. His temperament originally follows the path of domination, so he’s compatible with these martial skills and can learn them smoothly. On top of that, he’s supported by a large organization whose background is rather deep. This organization can easily resolve many troubles for him. He himself probably comes from a very high station, too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to cultivate so smoothly like wind and water.”

Gu Zuo still didn’t understand too clearly: “Studying this kind of ultimate knowledge can bring about numerous troubles, right? If by any chance Huo Li provokes someone he can’t afford to offend, what should he do?”

Tianheng said: “In this world, there aren’t many sources of ultimate knowledge. Those that specialize in mighty powers and extreme strength are even fewer in number. If a sect has a school of ultimate knowledge that’s suitable for oneself, that person would naturally want to learn it. Besides, once Huo Li learned it, how could he make any achievements by just training diligently at home? It would be better to go outside, divulge his own path of domination, and frequently provoke other people. This is his whetstone to sharpen his ultimate knowledge.

“If he can rely on his own strength to repeatedly cleave apart these troubles that he himself has caused, he will become stronger with each pa.s.sing day. At that point, these troubles wouldn’t be considered problems at all. As a prodigy, his luck is like an unending rainbow. Most of the time, Huo Li ought to be capable of turning misfortunes into blessings and difficulties into auspicious signs. He also wouldn’t choose opponents whom he’ll be completely incapable of provoking. This is also to hone his path of domination.”

Speaking up to here, he lightly smiled: “Just a while ago, Huo Li acted against me. Although this held the meaning of the path of domination, it also had the intent of feeling out the situation. The Tianlong Guards took thunderous action to show that I wasn’t afraid of trouble. Turning those dozen people into b.l.o.o.d.y liquid was my warning.”

Gu Zuo: “…”

Ah, right. Afterwards, that fellow immediately ignored big brother.

This meant that he didn’t want to confront two “whetstones” at once?

Tianheng continued: “Those who cultivate the path of domination regard everyone in the world as mole crickets and ants. They believe that there will come a day that they will make the world submit to them. However, over the course of this maturation process, it isn’t like these people don’t understand the concept of self-restraint. It’s just that they exercise their patience only when it’s absolutely necessary.

“Hyssop Heart City is just a bronze-ranked city. Even if there are a few powerhouses in the city, they are far inferior to the organization backing Huo Li. Though this kind of city has set its own rules, it actually tried to make Huo Li ‘dismount’. His path of domination naturally can’t tolerate this, so he tore off the facade of civility right away.”

Gu Zuo gave an exasperated look: “If it’s said like this, why does it suddenly feel like the two of us are the inferior ones…”

Tianheng laughed: “Prodigies have their own temperaments, and Huo Li is just a relatively unique one among them. As for other unconventional prodigies, just pay a little more attention when encountering them. This elder brother ‘dismounted’ because this is my temperament. Ah Zuo doesn’t need to think about it too much. There’s also no need to force yourself to act like that Huo Li… What Ah Zuo and I cultivate is nothing like the path of domination.”

This process of honing the path of domination could be described as making enemies everywhere, and killing those enemies everywhere. While it was admittedly a good way of tempering oneself, if the whetstone, which was selected in a moment of carelessness, was a person with stronger luck, then it was also very normal to die immediately after being restrained.

From ancient times until now, there were naturally those who had been able to cultivate the path of domination to the peak, but there were even more who died without sharpening themselves along that path.

Only, the path of domination was incredibly powerful. Once honed, there were practically no worthy adversaries at equivalent realms. It was feasible to battle people of higher ranks so long as it wasn’t a continuous leap of large realms.

As a result, even if people often fell under the path of domination, there were still many who advanced dauntlessly, wanting to learn this type of path!

Gu Zuo silently nodded his head.

Alright. In any case, they were standing on the same level as Huo Li for the time being. Thus, after being warned, Huo Li restrained himself a little, and only went to sharpen himself against Hyssop Heart City. Although, Huo Li probably still viewed them as insignificant bugs in his heart…which sounded a little paradoxical. Now that Gu Zuo thought about it, he really wanted to beat up that Huo Li.

He was a mole cricket! His whole family were mole crickets!

On the other side, the battle between Huo Li and Hyssop Heart City’s guards had already turned white-hot.

On that side, one would only see gusts of wind and peals of thunder. Lava surged and rose up like colliding sea waves. The suppressive might that was brought about swept across all directions, which caused the somewhat cracked city walls to shudder like they were on the verge of collapse. It seemed as if the walls would completely break apart with a few more attacks.

However, after who knew how many attacks, the walls still didn’t crumble…

From beginning to end, Huo Li’s figure never left the luan-bell chariot. The only things that could be seen were streak after streak of incomparably hot attacks blasting out from within the vehicle. These flames shot straight into the vaults of the sky. At the same time, the person inside that city gate tower also didn’t come out. His counterattacks and defensive maneuvers crossed paths with Huo Li’s moves high in the sky.

Down below, while the city guards and Huo Li’s subordinates fought, the sounds of screaming and murder shook the heavens. Many people fell due to this incident, and their corpses covered the land.

Off to the side, Gu Zuo witnessed this, and unconsciously furrowed his brows: “This so-called path of domination is truly…”

He was accustomed to the fact that martial strength was respected, but he still wasn’t used to the idea that numerous subordinates would have to fight with everything they had until they died if someone with a high-ranking position felt a trace of dissatisfaction.

Tianheng didn’t say anything, but he did ruffle Gu Zuo’s hair out of comfort.

With a pinched look, Gu Zuo glanced at the luan-bell chariot, and didn’t feel the slightest good impression toward this kind of “tyrannical” figure.

Finally, after fighting for a while, all of the wild beasts perished amid the collateral damage. Dozens of city guards had died, but the number of Huo Li’s subordinates who fell also wasn’t low.

At this time, a scorching red light collided with an attack in the air, and instantly separated. Immediately following which, the luan-bell chariot could no longer withstand it, and exploded.

Within the remains of the luan-bell chariot, a silhouette stood upright and unafraid. His jade crown was high, his robes were magnificent, and his hair was like flowing flames. His body bulged and swelled with powerful qi streams, which caused him to emit a violently strong sense of existence.

At this moment, Huo Li let out a cold harrumph: “Go!”

His numerous subordinates went to escort him. There were even four extremely tall and large figures who dashed out to guard him. Then, they lifted him up, transformed into a beam of bright light, and headed straight to the city.

This Huo Li arrived in a hurry and left in a flash, leaving a huge mess at the entrance of the city gates.

After he departed, those among the city guards who weren’t injured swiftly came forward, carried the wounded to the rear, and dragged the corpses of the dead to the side.

The actions of the guards were fast and efficient. Soon, they cleared a path that could be pa.s.sed through. The guard who previously received Tianheng and the others quickly arrived, and craned his neck to lead Tianheng inside: “Begging thy pardon. We’ve let Prodigy Gongyi see such a debacle.”

Tianheng waved his hand, and commanded his many subordinates to enter the city.

Gu Zuo followed along at his side. As he pa.s.sed the guard, he tossed over two bottles: “Here, it’s for you guys.”

The guard caught the bottles, but before he could say anything, Gu Zuo’s figure had also disappeared. He opened the bottles to take a look. With a glance, he saw that contained within were medicinal pills suitable for treating the injuries of those at the Immortal and Atomic Realms. He couldn’t help but feel grateful in his heart.

While walking next to Tianheng, Gu Zuo inquired: “Big brother, the person in that city gate tower…”

Tianheng understood what he was asking, and responded: “Probably at the n.o.ble Realm.”

Gu Zuo stared blankly: “How could a n.o.ble Realm create such huge losses?”

It was clear that this person could’ve protected the guards at the city gates.

Tianheng gave a faint pause. Shortly thereafter, he simply said: “If it was like this, Huo Li certainly wouldn’t have let the matter rest.” Then, he placated with a light voice, “After this, the organization behind Hyssop Heart City will look for Huo Li’s backer, and demand compensation.”
