Against the Other Gods

33 Another Prologue

Mythical Abode Mountain, Cloud's End Cliff, Azure Cloud Continent.

At this moment, on the edge of this cliff, a black-haired black-eyed youth leaned on the side of a rock that measured two people in height. There was blood everywhere on top of his black clothing with many open wounds on his person. He was on the rock for just a few breaths worth of time yet a pool of blood was already beneath his feet.

In front of him stood a dark crowd of people that blocked all his escape routes.

"Saint Doctor... Please, If you obey us and hand over the Sky Poison Pearl, perhaps we may allow you to live and forget everything that you have been done!"

"Saint Doctor in the name of justice and on behalf of heaven, please and quickly surrender the Sky Poison Pearl, we will promise you, you will leave this place alive and even more I will promise you a good life for the rest of you life."

Now, they were all gathered for this youth who had been pushed to the edge of this cliff. Specifically, for the Pearl in his hand—one of Seven Heavenly Treasures... Sky Poison Pearl.

"You guys.. want this.. Sky Poison Pearl?"

"everyone of you telling me all of this... heheheh... don't be a hypocrite... there is no sincerity in your eyes... there is only greed... greed on this pearl in this lowly one's hand."

Yun Che laughed coldly. As he slowly raised his right hand, a jade green ball with a dim radiance appeared in his hand. The moment this pearl glowed, everyone stopped in their tracks. Staring tightly at the green pearl, their eyes shone with greed.

"See ? All of you already consumed by greed... if I give this pearl to any one of you, it will only incite greed in others heart where it will lead to more blood that sheded because of this pearl."

To Yun Che, these people who were strong enough to scare the world looked filthy and sly. He slowly raised his eyes. Although cornered, his pupils shone with kindness and tranquility. Clear regret was deep in his eyes. "My master spent his life trying to save the world; he saved countless people seeking neither benefit nor fame but because of this Sky Poison Pearl, you guys from the so-called Justice Sects killed my master seven years ago."

"I never hate any one of you. Never I have my revenge on you so called Justice Sects off in these seven years... but...!"

Every word of his began contained deep-seated hatred. Although it had been seven years, just thinking about the death of his master still made tears stream down the edge of his eyes.

Yun Che did not know who his parents were for when his master found him, it seemed like he was only a few days old. It was deep in the spring time when his master picked up Yun Che. The clouds were scattered, the wind was light, the mountain spiritual, and the water crystal clear. He named the child Yun Che, in hopes his heart would be as pure as clouds and as clear as water; so that when he grew up, he would inherit his craft as a healer to rescue the dying and cure the injured with a heart void of corruption.

No matter how serious the disease or trauma, Master could clear them all. This was due to the Sky Poison Pearl hidden in his body. The two words "Sky Poison" meant that this pearl was highly toxic, but medicine and poison were of the same origin. Master never used its poison; he only used alchemy to extract, melt and in the end produce holy medicines to save millions of lives. He taught all his medical skills to Yun Che thoroughly, but seven years ago, word of his Sky Poison Pearl was spread. He gave it to Yun Che and told him to escape. Shortly afterwards, he died at the hands of the major sects.

When news of his master's death reached Yun Che, he cried for three days and three nights. But the root of hatred was never planted inside his heart and he keep treasuring all his master's words and keep walking in the medicinal arts way. After seven years he mastered the medicinal art and the poison art as he wanted to make use the Sky Poison Pearl for goodness.

It's different from the original story.

In original story, Yun Che swallowed by hatred in his heart and become a heartless murderer where he kill a whole city full of people in one night using poison from Sky Posion Pearl. But here, Yun Che remember all his Master teaching and never forsake the moral of life. In seven years after his master death, he keep helping people and saving the lives of masses giving him the same title as his master... The Saint Doctor.

But everything that happen in the past three days make his title as Saint Doctor turned 180 degrees. The Three Great Sect in Azure Cloud Continent catching a news about his hideout and right away surround his place. It's not sure whether it's fortunate or it's unfortunate, Yun Che was not in his hideout as he gone out for a while in that crucial moments.

After he got back to his hideout... there is no one there... only a destroyed hut made of bamboo... and... a girl laying on the ground drenched in her own blood.

It's his wife... the one who always there for him... the one who encourage him to keep his life... the one who become his mental support... his wife... Su Ling'er...

His consciouness back to himself and then glared at everyone in his field of vision with hatred in his eyes and laughed coldly. As soon as his laughter reached the level of ice, he roared, "You son of a b*tches, you want my Sky Poison Pearl.. You. Are. All. Daydreaming!!"

After making this deep proclamation, Yun Che suddenly raised his hand and threw the Sky Poison Pearl in his mouth. He then pushed the pearl down his throat and it instantly rushed straight into his stomach.

"What... What are you doing!"

"He actually.. swallowed the Sky Poison Pearl!"

"Yun Che! Do you want to die that badly!"

"It's fine, no big deal, we will kill him and take the pearl!"

The Sky Poison Pearl entered his body, but the poison didn't spread out in his body and kill him like they thought it would. A faint green light emitted from the surface of his body.

"Kill him now! Otherwise the Sky Poison Pearl may change inside his body. That would be a huge problem!"

Roaring, a dozen people in the front row went for Yun Che at the same time. Looking at the figures of the people he wanted to destroy, Yun Che began to laugh. His laughter was weak and dry but still very arrogant, "if I want, I can just kill all of you easily by using the Sky Poison Pearl ability to kill you guys, but I don't want to dirty my hand and dirty this Heavenly Treasures by your dirty blood... And don't think that you can kill me! You pieces of trash are not worthy of this Sky Poison Pearl and even more unworthy of killing me. If I die, I would die by my own hands! Hahahaha.."

After laughing Yun Che used every bit of his last strength to jump backwards.

"Stop him!!!"

Several hands reached out to Yun Che after realizing his intent but could not even grasp half his shadow. They could only watch as his body free fell down into the valley.

There is nothing to hold me back for I no longer have ties in this world. Unfortunately.. I could not avenge my master, I can't avenge my wife.. nor find my biological parents.

Yun Che gently held the silver pendant in front of his chest. It was the only thing he had on him when his master found him. The wind screamed past his ears as he slowly closed his eyes and let his body plunge deep into the seemingly endless dark abyss.
