Medical and Martial God

Ye Xiu picked up a dinner knife and engaged Sun Kai with the Traveling Dragon Sword Technique. Since Long Wu was present, he held back, making a few token strikes before going for the kill!

"Ah, my hand..." Dong Shuo shrieked, clutching his right wrist with his left hand as he rolled on the ground in agony.

Long Wu’s expression turned terribly grim. Ye Liangchen had crushed Dong Shuo’s right hand. The Brotherhood Alliance would never let Ye Liangchen get away with this, and they might even vent their anger on the Guoyang Long Family. That detestable Ye Liangchen... he’s simply a jinx!

Annoyed and agitated, she said, "Ye Liangchen, stop fighting! Let’s go!"

"Hold on. Let me kill him first," Ye Xiu said. "You didn’t get to see me seriously injure Jiao Fuping at the Xu Family’s estate, so now I’ll give you a real show."

Long Wu froze. Back at the Xu Family’s estate, Ye Liangchen seriously injured Jiao Fuping? Was all that blood on him from Ye Liangchen’s attack?

As she reeled in shock, Long Wu suddenly saw Ye Xiu’s figure flicker. In an instant, countless afterimages appeared before converging back into one.

The next moment, Sun Kai collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, with a single chopstick protruding from between his eyebrows!

"This..." Long Wu’s expression changed dramatically. "You... you’re this strong?"

At that moment, Dong Shuo, his dozen underlings, and the petite beauty he had brought were all frozen in terror. Sun Kai possessed the strength of a War God, yet he was killed so easily?

For the first time in his life, Dong Shuo felt true fear.

Ye Xiu ignored Long Wu, picked up Sun Kai’s knife, and walked over to Dong Shuo. "When you were committing all those evil deeds," he said coldly, "did you ever imagine this would be your end?"

"Y-you... you can’t kill me!" Dong Shuo stammered in terror. "I... I’m the Young Master of the Brotherhood Alliance! My grandfather is the Alliance Hierarch! If you kill me, he’ll never let you go!"

"Ye Liangchen, don’t kill him!" Long Wu screamed, snapping out of her stupor at Ye Xiu’s terrifying power.

However, it was too late. With one swing of his knife, Ye Xiu sent Dong Shuo to the afterlife.

Seeing this, the dozen underlings and the petite beauty Dong Shuo had brought were paralyzed with fear. They had failed to protect him, and Dong Tianming would surely kill them for it.

"Ye Liangchen, you’ve caused a huge disaster!" Long Wu stomped over, shouting furiously.

Ye Xiu leveled the knife at her. "Yell at me one more time. I dare you."

Long Wu fell silent.

***

At the Xu Family estate, Xu Zengshan, Long Xiaoyun, and Du Long were having tea.

Suddenly, Long Xiaoyun received a call from Long Wu. He was dumbfounded by what he heard.

"What happened?" Xu Zengshan asked.

"Ye Liangchen killed Dong Shuo and Sun Kai," Long Xiaoyun said bitterly.

"What?" Xu Zengshan exclaimed in shock. "What on earth happened?"

Du Long looked completely lost; he had never even heard of Dong Shuo or Sun Kai.

Long Xiaoyun then relayed the entire story.

"As expected of a disciple of the Evil Doctor Nangong Lie. Ye Liangchen’s temper is just as wicked," Xu Zengshan remarked grimly after hearing the account.

"A good kill!" Du Long exclaimed, his blood boiling with excitement. "Dong Shuo provoked Ye Liangchen first. He deserved to die!"

"Ye Liangchen got his satisfaction, but now we have to clean up his mess," Long Xiaoyun said with a wry smile.

"It seems the Brotherhood Alliance can no longer be allowed to exist," Xu Zengshan said gravely. "We already have two formidable enemies in Ye Xiu and Huang Quan. If the Brotherhood Alliance continues to cause trouble, we’ll be at a serious disadvantage. We should eliminate them first."

"I agree," said Long Xiaoyun.

"How about we assign the task of annihilating the Brotherhood Alliance to Ye Liangchen? The few of us old-timers can assist him," Du Long suggested.

"Sounds good!"

"Agreed!"

Xu Zengshan and Long Xiaoyun readily agreed. Historically, it was nearly impossible for one War God to kill another. Yet, Ye Liangchen had managed to seriously injure Jiao Fuping and kill Sun Kai, proving he was the strongest of all War Gods. They were more than happy to invest in cultivating such a prodigious talent.

After hanging up with Long Xiaoyun, Long Wu said to Ye Xiu, "You’re finished. To placate the Brotherhood Alliance, Great-grandfather will surely choose to sacrifice you."

Ye Xiu chuckled. "You women really are clueless."

"What do you mean?" Long Wu asked.

Just then, both Ye Xiu and Long Wu received a text message from Long Xiaoyun.

Ye Xiu’s message read: "All personnel and resources from the Long Family, Xu Family, and Fire Seed Company are at your disposal. Eliminate the Brotherhood Alliance in the shortest time possible."

Long Wu’s message read: "Ye Liangchen is in charge of eliminating the Brotherhood Alliance. All personnel from the Long Family, Xu Family, and Fire Seed Company are to give him their full cooperation!"

Upon reading the message, Ye Xiu smiled. Everything is going according to plan. I killed Dong Shuo and Sun Kai in front of Long Wu precisely because I was certain the Long Family and Fire Seed Company would back me up. Now, I can use the combined power of all three to rid Hexia Road of the scourge that is the Brotherhood Alliance!

After reading her message, Long Wu was completely stunned. For Ye Liangchen’s sake, the Guoyang Long Family, the Xu Family, and Fire Seed Company are actually going to war with the Brotherhood Alliance? And he’s the one in command?

"What are you standing there for? Go kill the dozen or so underlings Dong Shuo brought," Ye Xiu ordered.

"Oh, right!" Long Wu snapped to attention and immediately got to work. She disposed of Dong Shuo’s underlings, but Ye Xiu stopped her just as she was about to kill the petite beauty.

He saw no reason to kill an innocent.

Long Wu didn’t seem to mind and asked, "The Brotherhood Alliance has tens of thousands of members. Even if the Eight Great National Protector War Gods used the power of an entire nation, it would be impossible to find and eliminate them all in a short time. What’s more, Alliance Hierarch Dong Tianming is as cunning as they come, with multiple hideouts. We don’t even know where to begin looking. How do you plan to destroy them?"

"I have my ways," Ye Xiu said, retrieving a cell phone from Dong Shuo’s corpse and pocketing it before turning to leave.

"Where are you going?" Long Wu asked.

"Do I need to report to you?" Ye Xiu retorted.

"But we haven’t eaten yet."

"We’re not eating!" Ye Xiu snapped. "Find someone to dispose of the bodies and delete the restaurant’s surveillance footage."

With that, he ignored Long Wu completely, putting his arm around the petite beauty Dong Shuo had brought and walking away.

Seeing this, Long Wu was furious. That bastard Ye Liangchen! He had the audacity to walk away with another woman right in front of me, his own fiancée! Men... not a single one of them is any good!

「The next day.」

After the news had spread for two days, everyone in Hexia Road knew about the Divine Doctor at the Mingde Ancient Medical Hall who could cure any ailment with a single needle. This resulted in a crowd of patients several times larger than the total from the previous two days combined. Furthermore, they weren’t there for the 100,000 in compensation; they had come purely for treatment.

"Next patient, please!" Ye Xiu called out after taking his seat.

A woman in a baseball cap, dark sunglasses, a surgical mask, and loose-fitting clothes walked over and sat down across from him.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Xiu frowned.

Long Wu was startled. "I’m disguised like this, and you can still recognize me?"

"I could smell your cheap perfume from a mile away," Ye Xiu said.

"You..." Long Wu seethed, then said with a sneer, "I’m your patient now. You have to cure my illness. If you don’t, you’ll ruin not only your own reputation but that of the Mingde Ancient Medical Hall. Plus, you’ll have to pay me 100,000."
