Medical and Martial God

Chapter 488: Chapter 488: A Wave of Slick Moves

WHOOSH!

At Long Yifei’s command, the members of the Xing and Wei Families immediately drew their weapons and charged at Ye Xiu. However, the other members of the Thirteen External Families did not budge an inch.

”What’s this about?” Ye Xiu, not fully understanding but sensing the danger, lifted his leg and kicked an oncoming Wei Family member in the face, shouting, ”Long Yifei, what is the meaning of this?”

Long Yifei ignored Ye Xiu, glaring instead at the members of the Thirteen External Families. ”I ordered you to take down Ye Liangchen,” he scolded. ”Are your ears stuffed with donkey fur?”

Tang Bo shrugged. ”Xing Ming hasn’t returned with evidence yet. You can’t prove that Ye Liangchen killed Wei Renwei and Wei Taining or crippled Wei Chuyang.”

Nangong Yue smiled charmingly. ”If Xing Ming truly brings back evidence of Ye Liangchen’s murders, then we will certainly obey your command.”

”You... all of you...” Long Yifei was furious. He grew anxious as he watched Ye Xiu send the men from the Xing and Wei Families flying.

The Wei Family’s three masters above the War God level had already been killed by Jiang Linglong, and Xing Ming had taken the Xing Family’s own masters of that level with him. The members of the Wei and Xing Families currently attacking Ye Xiu were all just War Gods; they were no match for him.

”Fall back! All of you, fall back!” Long Yifei yelled. In that short span, Ye Xiu had already kicked more than twenty men from the Xing and Wei Families into the air. If the fight continued, they would all be wiped out.

”You attack me without rhyme or reason, and now you’re telling them to retreat? There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Since you’re here, you can all stay,” Ye Xiu declared.

He unleashed his strength, which surpassed the War God level, and kicked the men from the Xing and Wei Families over one by one, aiming specifically for their faces. Upon hearing Long Yifei’s command, the men tried to retreat to his side, but Ye Xiu pursued them relentlessly. Even those who managed to make it back to Long Yifei were chased down and kicked over.

Before long, every single member of the Xing and Wei Families present had been kicked to the ground by Ye Xiu, unable to get back up.

HISS!

The members of the Thirteen External Families were stunned by Ye Xiu’s actions. Even though the Xing and Wei men had attacked first, Ye Xiu didn’t need to be so ruthless. However, as long as he didn’t kill anyone, he wasn’t violating the Long Family Clan’s rules. Seeing the members of the Xing and Wei Families severely injured actually brought them a measure of satisfaction.

”Ye Liangchen, you are too presumptuous! By seriously injuring so many members of the Xing and Wei Families, you are openly declaring yourself an enemy of the Long Family!” Long Yifei raged.

Ye Xiu shrugged. ”You’re the one who ordered them to attack me. I took them down because they were incompetent. So what? If you think I did something wrong, I can ask the Long Family Head to come and judge the matter.”

Long Yifei was rendered speechless. Until he had definitive proof that Ye Xiu was the one who killed Wei Renwei and Wei Taining and crippled Wei Chuyang, he was powerless to act. If the Long Family Head were to find out he had ordered an attack on Ye Xiu without proof, the Head wouldn’t blame Ye Xiu. He would blame him instead.

Just then, someone announced, ”Xing Ming is back.”

WHOOSH!

Everyone present, including Long Yifei and the incapacitated men from the Xing and Wei Families lying on the ground, turned to look. Indeed, Xing Ming was approaching from a distance, accompanied by two Xing Family masters above the War God level.

”Haha, Ye Liangchen, you’re finished!” Long Yifei burst into excited laughter. ”Xing Ming has brought back the surveillance footage of you killing Wei Renwei and Wei Taining, and of you beating and crippling Wei Chuyang! Prepare to die!”

The severely injured members of the Xing and Wei Families, despite their faces being pulp, all began to laugh.

Meanwhile, the hearts of the other members of the Thirteen External Families sank. It’s over for Ye Liangchen.

Tang Bo, Gu Meng, Nangong Yue, Bai Xi, and Wen Rubing felt their hearts leap into their throats, their tension reaching an extreme. Even if their five families were prepared to stay on the sidelines, the three Xing Family masters, combined with the other experts from the Thirteen External Families, could still surround and kill Ye Liangchen.

”Long Yifei, was your brain kicked by a donkey or licked by a dog? When did I ever kill Wei Renwei and Wei Taining, or beat and cripple Wei Chuyang?” Ye Xiu cursed, feigning ignorance.

Tang Bo, Gu Meng, Nangong Yue, Bai Xi, and Wen Rubing were speechless. Dude, Xing Ming already has the evidence. Stop denying it and find a way to escape, quickly!

”Hmph, at this point, your excuses are useless,” Long Yifei snorted, shouting to the approaching trio, ”Xing Ming, hurry up! Take out the surveillance footage for everyone to see!”

At that moment, Xing Ming and his two companions were puzzled, wondering why all the men from the Xing and Wei Families were on the ground. When they heard Long Yifei’s voice, embarrassed expressions appeared on their faces.

Walking over quickly, Xing Ming said awkwardly, ”Well, Young Master Fei, we’ve reviewed all the surveillance from outside the jewelry store and the shopping center. It’s completely different from what Wei Chuyang said. We watched the footage from this morning until five in the afternoon, and Ye Liangchen didn’t go to the jewelry store or the shopping center at all today.”

”What?”

Long Yifei, who had been feeling triumphant, was utterly stunned by Xing Ming’s words. After all this commotion, it turns out Wei Chuyang was framing Ye Liangchen?

Tang Bo, Gu Meng, Nangong Yue, Bai Xi, and Wen Rubing stared at one another in disbelief. The four girls were especially baffled. Ye Xiu was clearly with us at the shopping center for most of the day. Wei Chuyang’s Martial Prowess was definitely crippled by Ye Liangchen in the jewelry store, and we were the ones who inflicted the injuries on his body. We also saw Ye Liangchen kill Wei Renwei and Wei Taining with our own eyes, and we even disposed of the bodies ourselves! How could Xing Ming say Ye Liangchen wasn’t at the jewelry store or shopping center today? Did they go to a fake jewelry store and shopping center?

”What’s going on?” Nangong Yue asked Ye Xiu quietly.

Tang Bo, Gu Meng, Bai Xi, and Wen Rubing also turned to look at him.

Ye Xiu simply smiled without answering.

In truth, after he and the four girls had left, Gong Jin’s people had taken over the shopping center’s monitoring room and temporarily replaced the jewelry store’s staff. The surveillance cameras on the street outside were under the jurisdiction of the Patrol Officers, and their monitoring department would never show the footage to Xing Ming’s group. To be safe, the department had also directly deleted today’s footage from outside the shopping center. The video Xing Ming and his companions saw was just footage from a few days ago, which was enough to easily fool the three technologically illiterate men.

”Impossible! This is impossible!” Wei Chuyang cried out desperately. ”My Martial Prowess was crippled by Ye Liangchen! My injuries were from those four girls! I saw Ye Liangchen kill Wei Renwei and Wei Taining with my own eyes! The surveillance couldn’t have missed it...”

He stopped mid-sentence and whipped his head around to face Xing Ming and his companions. ”All the staff in the jewelry store saw me get beaten up! You can bring them here to testify for me!”

”We asked,” Xing Ming said, his face dark. ”The jewelry store staff said no fight or brawl occurred in the store at all today.”

Wei Chuyang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He finally understood.

Ye Liangchen must have erased every trace of evidence.
