Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1292 - 352: Returning a Grand Gift to You

These Whale-man Warriors were the water army under the command of Young City Lord Luo Qianche.

They lay dormant underwater, waiting for Luo Qianche’s command that was just given.

The target: assassinate the woman on the ship at all costs, and eliminate any of the men if they get in the way.

Hundreds of Rain Arrows formed by Water Power were shot straight at Ye Lingyue and Senior Sister Wan Yun. The sheer number would make it impossible for them to avoid being riddled like a beehive even if they had many arms.

"Power of Earth, Black Tortoise Defense. Ling Yue, don’t worry, I’ll protect everyone." Seeing the situation, Huang Jun quickly wielded a surge of brownish Reincarnation Soil Power, forming a turtle shell-like barrier around the small Water Arrow Ship with Earth Element Reincarnation Power.

Huang Jun had the most complex Reincarnation Power among them, which also meant he could utilize the most Martial Arts.

With Huang Jun’s exceptional bravery, Ye Lingyue and Senior Sister Wan Yun were both surprised and relieved.

Among those traveling from the Lonely Moon Sea to Ancient Nine Provinces, Huang Jun was considered the weakest.

Throughout the journey, the presence of Di Shen and Ye Lingyue meant that even Qin Xiaochuan was stronger, overshadowing him completely.

Ye Lingyue initially worried if Huang Jun would feel inferior and lose motivation.

But this guy had a unique ability to find joy in hardship. Even though he was not fast with cultivation and lacked exceptional talent, seeing his companions advance silently urged him to work harder in secret.

In the Lonely Moon Sea, he honed the often overlooked multi-attribute Reincarnation Power to a competent level.

As one of only two men on the ship, and with Qin Xiaochuan’s poor combat capabilities, he grit his teeth and withstood the Whale-man Warriors’ intensive assault.

The attacks met Huang Jun’s fortuitous use of Black Tortoise Defense, temporarily holding off the Whale-man Warriors.

Water Arrows hit the Black Tortoise Defense and shattered into mist.

"Huang Jun, well done."

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but praise.

"Ling Yue, don’t praise too soon. I can’t hold for much longer. If we don’t reach the shore, even Black Tortoise Defense will fail."

The Black Tortoise Defense used by Huang Jun was a third-rate Martial Art he learned after arriving at Gold City. Though its defensive power was decent, it was generally meant for personal defense.

Using a Martial Art for individual defense to shield four people and a Water Arrow Ship was extremely taxing on Primordial Power.

Right now, he was mentally exhausted. Glancing at Qin Xiaochuan, who was still sprawled on the ship like dead weight, he almost wished to kick him into the canal to feed the Whale People.

Looking at Huang Jun, his forehead was beaded with sweat, and the Black Tortoise Defense was becoming increasingly weaker.

Ye Lingyue’s brows furrowed tightly.

The journey on the canal was only a third completed, with two-thirds still to go, something Huang Jun couldn’t sustain.

The hundred-some Whale-man Warriors on the river also realized this.

They didn’t attack recklessly, just pursued the Water Arrow Ship, waiting for Huang Jun to exhaust his Primordial Power before launching another attack.

The canal was their domain.

"Huang Jun, remove the Black Tortoise Defense."

Luo Qianche, you seek to kill me; I’ll make you pay dearly.

Ye Lingyue’s eyelids drooped slightly, her voice tinged with frost.

Remove the Black Tortoise Defense?

"Ling Yue, what are you planning?"

Huang Jun hesitated, glancing at the Whale-man Warriors relentlessly chasing them from the stern.

Yet after nearly three years knowing Ye Lingyue, obeying her commands had become second nature to Huang Jun—he dared not defy her.

He retracted his Reincarnation Soil Power.

The turtle shell-like defense around the Water Arrow Ship disappeared instantly.

The Whale-man Warriors emitted strange cries at the sight.

Their half-human, half-fish bodies swam like flying fish in the water, their tridents brimming with killing intent, hurling towards them.

Ye Lingyue tapped the ship’s side with her foot, pushing off strongly. A surge of Power of Heaven and Earth propelled the Water Arrow Ship hundreds of feet forward, like an unrestrained horse.

The others on the ship were astonished as they saw Ye Lingyue standing in mid-air, her hands behind her back, as casually as if strolling leisurely.

In that dark face, her eyes emitted a brilliant light.

She extended her right hand, a finger descending.

Though seemingly light, that descending finger was heavy.

The entire canal’s water surface momentarily stilled.

"Ice Seal the World."

Thirty-six finger shadows descended from the sky, Ye Lingyue’s gaze as serene as a thousand-mile ice seal.

A chill swept in, the canal segment’s water surface instantaneously froze, even the tridents hurled by the Whale-man Warriors and their surrounding Reincarnation Water Power were entirely sealed in ice in a blink.

An expression of terror appeared in the eyes of the Whale-man Warriors.

A look of reverence filled their eyes as they gazed at the hovering Ye Lingyue.

Could someone who could instantly solidify water vapor possibly be the Ice Goddess?

Almost simultaneously, Ye Lingyue’s forefinger and thumb met, gently plucking a small drum.

"Luo Qianche, I return this grand gift to you."

Ye Lingyue murmured dreamily, her red lips slightly parted, delivering a single sentence.

The small drum between her fingers sounded, and the crisp drumming reached the Whale-man Warriors’ ears.

With the drumbeat, the warriors’ Divine Sense began to blur. They suddenly emitted bizarre cries, halting their assault on Ye Lingyue and the ship.

They plunged into the water, vanishing.

The ice on the canal surface splintered.

The Water Arrow Ship remained stationary, and only then did Huang Jun, Qin Xiaochuan, and the others awaken from their daze.

"Ling Yue, wow, you were amazing! What was that move just now?" Huang Jun rubbed his eyes, now certain that the Whale-man Warriors had left, they were safe.

"Just some insignificant skill learned before joining Lonely Moon Sea. Let’s keep moving forward."

Ye Lingyue said nonchalantly, glancing at the small drum in her hand.

Due to its extremely thick Evil Qi, Ye Lingyue always kept the Confusing Heart Drum stored after refining it. This was her first formal use of this Spiritual Artifact.

The Cauldron Spirit once said that the Confusing Heart Drum can bewilder the mind.

If not for Luo Qianche’s excessive provocation, she wouldn’t have used it.

Who knows what surprise the treasure refined from the skin of the Gua Niu Earth Evil Great Monarch will bring.

Ye Lingyue’s Water Arrow Ship continued onward, cutting through water trails to catch up with Di Shen and others’ Water Arrow Ship.

Soon after their departure, a small boat quickly approached.

Seeing the shattered floating ice on the canal, someone on the boat bent down and picked up a piece of the broken ice.
