The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 703 - 704: A Difficult Decision

The lightning was so swift that even a master like the Willow Association’s Ancestor could not stop it, watching helplessly as it struck Liu Zixuan’s back.

Pfft!

A sound fell as Liu Zixuan endured the strike, his shirt turning to dust in the blink of an eye, leaving a shocking wound on his back, with blood streaming out.

The sharp pain spread throughout his body, causing Liu Zixuan’s facial muscles to spasm a few times, and he gasped in shock, falling straight to the ground.

Feeling the intense vibration of the Nameless Sword, Liu Zixuan forced out a faint smile, "Old pal, thank goodness you’re okay."

Buzz~!

The Nameless Sword vibrated again in Liu Zixuan’s hand, but with the vibration, a peculiar sensation transmitted from the sword body to Liu Zixuan’s wrist, reducing his pain somewhat.

"Zixuan, my young friend, leave there quickly!" The Willow Association’s Ancestor shouted at him.

Liu Zixuan nodded slightly, holding the Nameless Sword as he got up, and yet another lightning bolt struck down, leaving a white trail on the ground.

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Zixuan’s back, and just as he got up, if he had been a second slower, the lightning might have hit him again!

He was a master at the Imperial Realm Middle Stage, not afraid of ordinary lightning, but the lightning just now had struck him painfully, clearly indicating it was no ordinary lightning.

"Not good, that lightning seems to be targeting the Nameless Sword, let go of it quickly," the Ancestor shouted at Liu Zixuan, seeing several more lightning bolts emerging from the beam.

Liu Zixuan looked down at the Nameless Sword and then at the lightning.

In a deep voice, he said, "The Nameless Sword has followed me all the way, it’s not just a weapon anymore, it’s my brother. Now that it’s in trouble, how can I stand by? Ancestor, I understand your intention, but since the lightning wants to strike the Nameless Sword, then I will fight alongside it!"

As he spoke, Liu Zixuan began to circulate the Holy Medical Scripture within himself, secretly healing his injuries while holding the Nameless Sword to fend off the lightning.

Crack!

Pfft!

He repeatedly dodged and engaged head-on in just a few minutes, dozens of lightning strikes came down.

Seeing his strength waning quickly, Liu Zixuan pulled out several Ghost Gate Needles, setting up the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array!

"I still don’t believe it, a mere beam can break my Nine Dragon Qiankun Array!"

Thunderous rumblings!

A tremendous pressure appeared suddenly, the beam seemed more intense and dazzling, forming a more massive lightning strike directly at the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array.

Pfft!

The Nine Dragon Qiankun Array shook violently, almost shattering!

Liu Zixuan’s expression changed immediately, cursing, "What the hell is this? Even the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array, which a Half-Step Emperor Realm couldn’t break, was almost shattered by this hit!"

Thunderous rumblings!

Another thunderous roar, an attack even stronger than the previous one, came again!

Liu Zixuan’s pupils contracted, as he operated the array with one hand, clutching the Nameless Sword to brace for the strike.

Crack!

As the strike landed, the grand array shattered directly. At the moment Liu Zixuan raised the Nameless Sword to block, he was blown away.

Seeing this, the Willow Association’s Ancestor quickly dashed to Liu Zixuan’s side, helping him to land safely.

Then, the Willow Association’s Ancestor stood forward, forming seals with both hands, conjuring a massive defense to barely disperse that lightning strike.

Pfft!

Blood surged, and Liu Zixuan spat a mouthful of blood, appearing extremely exhausted.

"You okay?" the Willow Association’s Ancestor cautiously asked, eyeing the beam.

Enduring the pain, Liu Zixuan slowly stood up, "I’m fine, just used up a lot of inner strength, and there’s some backlash from the array being shattered. What on earth was that?"

"Ancestral Dragon Vein Qi!" the Willow Association’s Ancestor said in a deep voice, "I mentioned the power of Dragon Qi before, but honestly, we still underestimated it. The Dragon Vein grows stronger over time, and the Ancestral Dragon Vein Qi it forms becomes more powerful with each passing age, and this being the twenty-fourth Ancestral Dragon Vein makes it exceptionally formidable!"

Liu Zixuan’s mouth twitched a few times, "What a coincidence, facing the first Ancestral Dragon Vein’s Dragon Qi might not be this terrifying."

"Yes. During your fight, I’ve been thinking, the Ancestral Dragon Vein Qi manifested as lightning targeted the Nameless Sword right from the start. I think it’s looking for a host body."

"A host body?" Liu Zixuan asked puzzled.

"A host body means the Ancestral Dragon Vein Qi has gained intelligence, looking for a suitable vessel, akin to a spirit wanting to enter an empty body," the Willow Association’s Ancestor explained.

"So, is this what you referred to as an opportunity?" Liu Zixuan exclaimed.

The Willow Association’s Ancestor sighed, "Honestly, when I mentioned in the main hall sending you to the Seven-Star Tomb for an opportunity to strengthen your power, I didn’t mean this, but it’s close enough."

"My original plan was to infuse Dragon Vein Qi into your weapon, enhancing it, so even if it’s out of your control, it can autonomously attack but I underestimated the Ancestral Dragon Vein Qi’s intelligence. Fortunately, it also took a liking to the Nameless Sword."

"What should I do now?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Let it enter the Nameless Sword, but you’ll face a significant problem," the Willow Association’s Ancestor paused, turning to look at Liu Zixuan, "The Ancestral Dragon Vein Qi has gained intelligence and when it enters the Nameless Sword, if you can subdue it, it will significantly boost your power, but if not, it won’t just fail to kill enemies, it might harm you."

"In severe cases, the backlash may drive you insane, turning you into a Demon Taker! Essentially a cold-blooded, merciless killing machine!"

Liu Zixuan fell silent as he heard this.

According to the Willow Association’s Ancestor’s plan, he could easily enhance his power and the Nameless Sword, but now, the situation had changed dramatically.

Indeed, it became a tough choice.

The choice between opportunity and danger!

Gaining opportunity, danger will inevitably follow!

After a moment of silence, Liu Zixuan took a deep breath, "On the path to getting stronger, there are countless choices. If I run away for the sake of safety, I might as well go back to Lingxiu Village and be a farmer."

"So, your decision is..."

"Let the Nameless Sword accept this opportunity, and let me face even greater challenges!" Liu Zixuan stated firmly, charging straight towards the beam...
