Chapter 58: Struggle

"Tang Yun!"

Lin Xiyue exclaimed, but her voice didn't sound like she was worried; it sounded more like a stage actor deliberately performing panic.

Tang Yun struggled to climb up, only to feel his internal organs displaced, a fishy sweetness surging in his throat, and his vision turning black.

"Don't waste your energy," the Medicine King occupying Lin Xiyue's body looked down at Tang Yun, his tone cold as if looking at a bug on the side of the road. "You think that with your little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, you are my opponent?"

"You... what exactly did you do to Xiyue?" Tang Yun asked through gritted teeth, his voice trembling with anger.

"What did I do? Hahaha, I'm just borrowing her body," the Medicine King laughed arrogantly, manipulated Lin Xiyue's body to walk before Tang Yun, and looked down at him. "What, does it hurt? Don't worry, as long as you are obedient and offer your Chaotic Medical Qi, I will naturally let her go."

"Dream on!" Tang Yun roared, struggling to stand up, only to be stepped on by the Medicine King again.

"Stubborn!" The Medicine King snorted coldly, preparing to give Tang Yun a little color to see, when he suddenly felt a strange force surging from Lin Xiyue's body.

"What's going on?" The Medicine King's expression changed, and before he could react, he saw a complex rune suddenly appear on Lin Xiyue's wrist, emitting a dazzling light.

"Holy Maiden bloodline... you actually awakened the Holy Maiden bloodline!" The Medicine King looked at Lin Xiyue in terror, his tone filled with disbelief.

"You are not Xiyue! Who are you? Get out of her body quickly!" Lin Xiyue's voice suddenly became cold and majestic, as if she had changed into another person.

"Damn! You can actually suppress my power!" The Medicine King roared, desperately wanting to control Lin Xiyue's body, only to find his power being consumed.

"Get out!" Lin Xiyue shouted angrily, the rune on her wrist shining brightly, turning into a beam of light that shot into the sky, forming a massive light screen in mid-air.

Inside the light screen appeared a strange space, filled with all kinds of bizarre scenes, as if pieced together from countless memory fragments.

"What is this place?" Tang Yun looked at everything before him in surprise; he felt a familiar aura, yet could not remember where he had seen it.

"This is the Ji Yi Deng Ta, a place where generations of Holy Maidens used to seal memories,"

Lin Xiyue's voice came from the light screen, her tone carrying a hint of exhaustion. "I am going to pull you into my spiritual world, where I will fight you to the death!"

"Fight to the death? Just by you?" A sinister voice suddenly sounded in the space, carrying a hint of mockery. "Just by you? You dare to contend with me?"

As soon as the words fell, a black figure slowly emerged from behind Lin Xiyue; it was a man wearing a black robe, his face unclear, his body emitting a cold aura, as if he were a messenger from hell.

"Who are you?" Tang Yun looked at the man before him vigilantly; he felt that this man was even more dangerous than the Medicine King who had occupied Lin Xiyue's body earlier.

"Who am I? Hehe, I am the greatest healer in this world, the first-generation Medicine King!" The black-robed man laughed arrogantly, his tone filled with arrogance. "Kid, your bloodline flows with mine; you are destined to become my container and restart the Medicine King civilization for me!"

"Medicine King? Aren't you already sealed?"

Tang Yun exclaimed; he had seen legends about the Medicine King in ancient books, said to be a person with heaven-defying medical skills in ancient times, possessing the ability to bring the dead back to life, later sealed in the Ji Yi Deng Ta because he violated taboos.

"Sealed? Hahaha, that group of stupid humans, you think a mere seal can trap me?" The Medicine King snorted disdainfully. "I was just asleep for ten thousand years. Now, my power has recovered, and it is time to return to the human world and restart the Medicine King civilization!"

"Dream on!" Lin Xiyue shouted angrily, the rune on her wrist shining brightly, turning into a light sword that slashed toward the Medicine King.

"Overestimating your own abilities!" The Medicine King snorted coldly, waving his hand at will, and a black mist came toward him, colliding with the light sword and erupting with a deafening explosion.

Tang Yun was sent staggering backward by this powerful force. Before he could stand firm, he saw the Medicine King turn into a black shadow and pounce toward Lin Xiyue.

"Be careful!" Tang Yun exclaimed, wanting to step forward to help, only to find his body as if fixed, unable to move at all.

"Hahaha, kid, your power has been sealed by me. Just watch obediently, watch how I occupy the body of the woman you love, hahaha..." The Medicine King laughed crazily, reaching out to grab Lin Xiyue's body.

"No——"

Tang Yun roared in despair, but was powerless.

Just when the Medicine King's hand was about to touch Lin Xiyue's body, Lin Xiyue suddenly looked up, a cold smile curling her lips.

"You think I would let you succeed?"

The rune on Lin Xiyue's wrist shone again, and a blinding light erupted from her body, sending the Medicine King flying.

"What's going on?" The Medicine King stabilized his figure in a sorry state, looking at Lin Xiyue in disbelief. "You... you actually..."

"You think I would let you in without any precautions?" Lin Xiyue sneered, slowly extending her right hand. "I knew long ago that you would take the opportunity to seize my body, so I prepared a big gift for you!"

As soon as the words fell, a light sphere the size of a fist suddenly appeared in Lin Xiyue's hand. Inside the light sphere, a black shadow was struggling crazily, letting out an angry roar. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====

Tang Yun roared in despair, but he was powerless to do anything.

Just as the Medicine King's hand was about to touch Lin Xiyue's body, she suddenly raised her head, a cold sneer appearing at the corners of her mouth.

"Do you think I would let you succeed?"

The runic symbols on Lin Xiyue's wrists lit up once again, and a blinding light erupted from within her body, blasting the Medicine King away.

"What is happening?" The Medicine King steadied himself in a disheveled state, looking at Lin Xiyue in disbelief. "You... you actually..."

"Did you think I would let you in without any precautions?" Lin Xiyue sneered, slowly extending her right hand. "I knew long ago that you would take the opportunity to seize my body, so I prepared a big gift for you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a fist-sized ball of light suddenly appeared in Lin Xiyue's hand; inside the ball, a black shadow was struggling frantically, letting out angry roars.
