It seemed that the intent of Ye Huan had been sensed, as the usually calm Hua Tuo's host, the Living Dead, finally showed a hint of panic. This scene confirmed Ye Huan's suspicions; he believed that if he could channel a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into the Living Dead, it would surely lead to its demise.
"Strange, is Ye Huan really planning to inject Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into the Living Dead?"
Understanding Ye Huan's intention to surround the Living Dead with a massive influx of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, Yu Wuxia once again marveled at Ye Huan's brilliance. After all, even he, the sect leader, had no means to deal with the Living Dead. It was unexpected that Ye Huan could effortlessly find a solution to the problem, perhaps aided by a stroke of luck. Yet, luck was also a manifestation of strength in its own right.
With a complex expression, Yu Wuxia turned his gaze toward Ye Huan's direction. At that moment, he felt no concern for Ye Huan or his predicament. Instead, he continued to ponder his earlier thought: no matter what, he wanted Ye Huan to become the leader of Yuxu Palace. If Ye Huan was willing to take on that role, with his intelligence and unparalleled cultivation speed, Yuxu Palace would surely become the foremost sect in Eastern State sooner or later. When that time came, Yu Wuxia would have fulfilled the vow he made when inheriting the leadership of Yuxu Palace: to strengthen it.
"Ah... Ah... Achoo... Achoo..."
Unaware that he was being thought of by Yu Wuxia at that moment, Ye Huan sneezed twice in succession. This made him curious if someone was plotting against him. In the underground passage of Yuxu Palace, Hua Tuo seemed to be the most suspicious one. Thus, Ye Huan refrained from saying anything unproductive and used his Divine Sense to control the flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy toward the Living Dead.
"No! Don't!"
Feeling an immense pressure around him, as soon as a strand of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy touched the skin of the Living Dead, its already festering body instantly erupted with large areas of decay. Combined with the gruesome wounds inflicted by various Arms on the Living Dead, it looked as though its skin had been flayed off. In many places, white bones were exposed from within its body, creating a sight that was utterly grotesque.
"This is what you brought upon yourself..."
Coldly staring at the Living Dead possessed by Hua Tuo, Ye Huan questioned whether he could feel any sympathy for someone trying to seize his Summoning Book. However, what made him slightly uneasy was that even if he succeeded in killing the Living Dead this time, it was merely under Hua Tuo's Divine Sense control. What would happen if he encountered Hua Tuo's true form next time?
'Should I just let it go this time?'
A thought suddenly emerged in Ye Huan's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. After all, the Hua Tuo would not change its mind about seizing the Summoning Book just because of Ye Huan's goodwill. It was better to strike decisively than to let a tiger return to the mountain; since he had already offended the other party, he didn't care about a Living Dead's body.
"Ye Huan, aren't you afraid of the Hua Tuo's revenge for doing this?"
Almost at the same moment that Ye Huan was thinking about the same thing, Yu Wuxia appeared beside him and raised this rather tricky question.
"Afraid? How could I not be? But to let my enemy go, honestly, I can't do it."
With a bitter smile, Ye Huan spoke the truth. He was indeed worried about the Hua Tuo's retaliation. However, as he said in his latter sentence, he couldn't let his enemy go. If he had time to consider sparing the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo, it would be better to think about how to face the Hua Tuo's revenge in the future. With this thought in mind, Ye Huan turned his gaze once again to the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo.
As a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy enveloped the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo, it revealed a painful expression under Ye Huan's gaze. Upon hearing Ye Huan's words, the Hua Tuo realized that this time its possessed Living Dead would surely die at Ye Huan's hands. In a fit of anger, it shouted, "Ye Huan, consider this my defeat! Next time, I will definitely take back the Summoning Book and take your life! You better pray for yourself!"
"Hmph, still so arrogant when death is imminent. Fine, let me send you on your way."
Taking out a large m67 fragmentary Grenade from his Spatial Ring—about the size of a watermelon—Ye Huan felt confident that with this oversized m67 fragmentary Grenade, he could send the Living Dead possessed by the Hua Tuo straight to its end. Without hesitation, as soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the pin from the massive m67 fragmentary Grenade and threw it at the feet of the Living Dead.
"Goodness, such a big Grenade? Ye Huan, you don't mean for us to accompany the Hua Tuo in death too, do you?"
Not having time to stop Ye Huan's actions, Yu Wuxia instinctively reacted upon seeing Ye Huan throw such a large m67 fragmentary Grenade. He worried whether they would also be caught up in it. After Yu Wuxia reminded him, Ye Huan remembered that they were still in the narrow underground passage of Yuxu Palace. If such a large m67 fragmentary Grenade exploded, it would likely affect both him and Yu Wuxia.
"Get down!"
With a sudden roar, Ye Huan dropped to the ground after receiving Yu Wuxia's warning. He also used his Divine Sense to pull two Reinforced Riot Shields over him. Unfortunately for Yu Wuxia, who couldn't react in time; upon hearing Ye Huan's shout, he instinctively tried to drop down as well. But just as he began to lie down, there was a loud bang—the oversized m67 fragmentary Grenade had exploded.
"Ye Huan, your grandfather's grandfather..."
A curse erupted in his heart, and before Yu Wuxia could react, he fainted. At the same time, the Living Dead, which was attached to the Hua Tuo at the center of the explosion, was also attacked. Its already decaying body was nearly blown to bits. Fortunately, the Living Dead was merely controlled by a fragment of Divine Sense from the Hua Tuo. As the explosion rang out, that fragment of Divine Sense decisively detached itself from the Living Dead's body. However, deep down, the Hua Tuo had already made a decision: the next time it targeted Ye Huan, it would surely be Ye Huan's end.
