Chapter 904: Li Fan Denounces the Divine Doctor

Though he couldn't fully comprehend why the Heavenly Doctor had suddenly appeared here, ever since the last time he was "examined" by the Heavenly Doctor and barely managed to escape, Li Fan had already rehearsed countless times in his mind how he would react if he met the Heavenly Doctor again.

Thus, in a flash, Li Fan made what he believed was the most correct choice.

His mind became utterly blank, his thoughts seemingly frozen.

However, this unusual display immediately caught the Heavenly Doctor's attention.

He first lightly tapped towards Han Zhong, and several streaks of silver light instantly arrived.

Like numerous silver needles, they sealed Han Zhong completely within space.

The expression on Han Zhong's face froze, and even his thoughts were suspended in that moment.

Then, the Heavenly Doctor looked at Li Fan with his murky gaze, a playful expression on his face. "So cautious... My young friend, have we met before?"

Li Fan didn't think at all; his subconscious reaction had already kicked in.

"Cut the nonsense, you scum! Everyone should eliminate people like you!"

Li Fan, righteous indignation on his face, bellowed.

He then unleashed several bolts of Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword Light in quick succession!

Moreover, the Heavenly Fiend Sword Intent component within these black sword lights was greatly amplified!

Facing the incoming sword lights, the Heavenly Doctor did not dodge.

Observing the incredibly familiar sword intent, a slight ripple appeared in his eyes.

Without him seeming to make any movement, the hundreds of black sword lights, which were originally traveling in straight paths, spontaneously curved.

They all converged into the Heavenly Doctor's outstretched left hand.

The Heavenly Doctor casually molded them into a black sphere, and Li Fan lost all control over them.

This seemingly miraculous technique startled Li Fan.

This time, his surprise wasn't feigned.

However, he quickly recovered and continued his act.

"Old villain!"

Seeing his attack blocked so easily by the opponent, Li Fan's face twisted with grief and indignation as he cursed.

Then, he pointed a finger at the Heavenly Doctor's glabella, while simultaneously transforming into a streak of light and retreating rapidly.

But Li Fan was horrified to discover that Han Zhong's small room had suddenly seemed to expand infinitely. No matter how he tried to flee, he couldn't leave the place!

"Heavenly Slaughter Sword, Cloud Water Illusionary Dream Art... What else do you know?"

Despite Li Fan's repeated insults and disrespect, the Heavenly Doctor did not get angry.

Instead, he looked at Li Fan with complex eyes and slowly asked.

"Pah! You dog villain, don't think you can trick anything out of me! I'm unlucky to fall into your hands today! Do what you will, kill or torture, I don't care!" As if knowing he was no match for the Heavenly Doctor, Li Fan seemed to give up struggling.

He disdainfully spat at the Heavenly Doctor, speaking with an air of righteous defiance.

"Hmph..." The Heavenly Doctor shook his head slightly.

He wasn't surprised by Li Fan's behavior.

"So many years have passed, and they haven't changed at all. They still hate me so much..."

The Heavenly Doctor chuckled softly.

Li Fan was enraged. "This blood feud will not shift, even through a thousand generations!"

"Young man. If I were to say I'm a good person, would you believe me?" The Heavenly Doctor, still not angered, smiled as he looked at Li Fan and asked.

Li Fan meticulously scrutinized the Heavenly Doctor once more.

He had white hair and a kindly face. Purely from his appearance, he indeed didn't resemble a villain.

But Li Fan still snorted coldly. "Old villain, don't think you can bewitch me! One may know a person's face, but not their heart!"

The Heavenly Doctor chuckled wryly, then asked, "You can believe a madman's words, so why can't you believe mine?"

Li Fan's expression shifted.

Before Li Fan could answer, the Heavenly Doctor continued, "If I were truly evil, could Heavenly Absolute still be alive and well today? He's mad and confused; can't you figure it out?"

Li Fan's expression suddenly froze, as if he had fallen into deep thought. From his look, it was clear he truly held some confusion in his heart.

"Sometimes, things aren't as simple as they appear. Even what you see with your own eyes can be deceiving." The Heavenly Doctor sighed softly, his tone filled with seemingly endless vicissitude.

Li Fan remained silent, clearly not easily convinced by a few words from the Heavenly Doctor.

However, the Heavenly Doctor seemed not to mind.

"It doesn't matter. I will resolve everything completely very soon."

He said this to himself.

It was as if he was speaking to Li Fan, yet also to himself.

"You're a good young man, just too reckless. In the future, you should be more cautious in your actions; plan thoroughly before you act." The Heavenly Doctor commented, much like an elder instructing a junior in a family.

Then, he conjured a jade slip and tossed it towards Li Fan.

This jade slip did not look ordinary; nine streaks of golden light, imbued with a sacred aura, encircled it. As it cut through the air, it even caused ripples of spatial distortion.

Li Fan instinctively caught the golden jade slip and looked at the Heavenly Doctor, his face full of doubt and surprise.

"It's always good for young people to read more."

"Alright, let me get to the main business."

The Heavenly Doctor paid no mind and turned his gaze towards Han Zhong, who remained frozen.

The white-haired elder narrowed his eyes, his expression focused.

A silver needle silently appeared in his right hand. With a flick of his finger, he shot it towards Han Zhong's fontanel.

As the silver needle penetrated, Han Zhong, who had been completely frozen, suddenly struggled violently.

The Heavenly Doctor's expression remained unchanged as he unleashed several more silver needles simultaneously, firmly controlling Han Zhong.

Li Fan, meanwhile, suppressed the urge to read the golden jade slip, keeping his mind blank.

He simply focused intently on observing the Heavenly Doctor's movements.

After ninety-nine eighty-one silver needles were inserted all over his body, the expression on Han Zhong's face completely stiffened.

He presented a grotesque, twisted appearance; his eye sockets, mouth, and nostrils seemed to be corroded, melting into dark, hollow openings.

A chilling, invisible aura flowed out from Han Zhong's body, seeping through these hollow openings.

Even with the Heavenly Doctor's seal in place, an extremely strong sense of crisis inexplicably surged within Li Fan, who was standing nearby.

His eyelids twitched, as if great disaster was imminent!

He quietly retreated behind the Heavenly Doctor, and only then did the sense of crisis slightly abate.

The Heavenly Doctor paid no attention to Li Fan's subtle movement and took out a jade bottle.

He aimed the bottle's opening at Han Zhong's head and lightly tossed it.

The jade bottle seemed to have the ability to absorb invisible energies; slowly, the source of Li Fan's sense of crisis gradually disappeared.

In the process, Han Zhong's body completely disintegrated into nothingness.

After everything concluded, the Heavenly Doctor solemnly retrieved and sealed the jade bottle.

"What is this?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask, looking at the jade bottle in the Heavenly Doctor's hand.

"This is a disease," the Heavenly Doctor sighed softly.

"This young fellow, I don't know if his luck was good or bad. He found the Eye of the Heaven Beast and left the Xuanhuang Realm. Because of that, he contracted this illness."

Li Fan couldn't help but recall the withered, decaying phenomenon that had occurred in his spirit when he first made contact with Han Zhong.

"A disease?" Li Fan mused, lost in thought.

The Heavenly Doctor glanced at Li Fan.
