Medical and Martial God

Dongfang Chaonan did not reply. Medicine King Valley did not wish to make an enemy of the Dongfang Family, but the feud between them was now set in stone.

Bai Changqing said with a smile, ”I don’t care if you reformers kill Ye Xiu, but he has accepted my challenge. If you want to kill him, wait until after our fight.”

”Okay!” Jiang Yuan agreed readily.

Leave Ye Xiu for the reformers to kill? Don’t make me laugh. Ye Xiu rubbed our conservative faction’s face in the dirt; he must die by our hands. Besides, why would I pass up the glory of slaying the Xuanse Medicine King? Bai Changqing sneered inwardly.

However, he did have a great deal of respect for Ye Xiu.

Even though he’s about to die and is surrounded by enemies, he can still perform alchemy as steady as a rock. That courage and mentality are worth learning from!

”Pill completed!”

Ten minutes later, Ye Xiu smiled, opened the lid of the Alchemy Furnace, and took out the successfully crafted Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The people of Medicine King Valley were astonished. He crafted the Marrow Cleansing Pill in just over ten minutes? Ye Xiu’s alchemical skills are beyond belief!

”Ye Xiu, if I were you, I would take my time crafting the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The faster you are, the closer you are to death,” Bai Changqing said with a sneer.

”Did you ever go to school?” Ye Xiu asked.

Bai Changqing was stunned. ”Medicine King Valley is deep in the mountains. There are no schools, so where would I have studied?”

”No wonder. If you even had a kindergarten diploma, you wouldn’t be so foolish.” Ye Xiu stretched lazily and said, ”Come on. You only have one chance to make a move.”

”You...” Bai Changqing was furious. ”Ye Xiu, you’re too arrogant! You’re going to die because of your arrogance.”

This sentiment was unanimously shared by everyone from Medicine King Valley. They all thought Ye Xiu’s arrogance was courting death.

”Ye Xiu, you and Bai Changqing are in a fair fight. He’s using a sword, so what weapon will you use?” Bai Shanjun asked, feeling utterly depressed. Ye Xiu had already successfully crafted both the Heaven-Mending Pill and the Marrow Cleansing Pill and still had time for a duel. Meanwhile, he was still stuck crafting the Heaven-Mending Pill.

”In this world, there is no one worthy of me drawing a weapon... unless I truly intend to kill, of course.” Ye Xiu beckoned to Bai Changqing. ”Make your move. I will fulfill Bai Shanjun’s wish and let you know that there is always someone better.”

”You’re asking for death!” Completely infuriated, Bai Changqing drew his sword and thrust at Ye Xiu.

THWACK!

Ye Xiu lifted his leg and planted a kick squarely on Bai Changqing’s face!

KO!

Everyone present watched, dumbstruck, as Bai Changqing flew back tens of meters. He lay on the ground, gurgling and spitting up blood, unable to get up.

Is it over? The much-anticipated duel... ended with a single kick from Ye Xiu?

”Alas, Changqing, Changqing, how many times have I told you not to underestimate your enemy just because you’re talented? You...” Bai Shanjun was filled with shame and indignation.

In his view, Bai Changqing had only lost to Ye Xiu’s single kick because he had been arrogant and underestimated his opponent. Of course, everyone present, including An Dongye and his companions, believed the same. After all, Bai Changqing was a Second Realm War God who had awakened his Totem Power. With such strength, even in Medicine King Valley, few could match him.

”You lost. The Marrow Cleansing Pill is mine,” Ye Xiu said with a cold smile. He handed the pill to An Dongye and surveyed everyone in Medicine King Valley. ”You can kill me now. But I’ll remind you one last time: other than Jiang Yuan, Jiang Hai, Jiang He, and the reformist faction of Medicine King Valley, if anyone else dares to attack, I will kill them without mercy!”

His words thoroughly infuriated everyone from Medicine King Valley.

”Jiang He, kill him for me!” Jiang Yuan ordered viciously.

”I’ve been waiting for this!” Jiang He drew his sword and charged at Ye Xiu.

THWACK!

Ye Xiu lifted his leg and landed another kick squarely on Jiang He’s face!

KO!

Silence. At that moment, the entire venue fell into a deathly quiet.

Everyone watched Jiang He get kicked into the air and land unconscious, plunging the crowd into a state of shocked silence.

If Ye Xiu knocking out Bai Changqing with one kick was because Bai Changqing underestimated him, then what’s the reason for knocking out Jiang He? Jiang He isn’t the type to be careless!

”You... what Leg Techniques are you using?” Bai Shanjun exclaimed in shock.

His words reminded everyone. As they recalled Ye Xiu’s two kicks, they realized his speed had been extraordinary—unbelievably fast.

”What’s it called?” Ye Xiu lowered his head and thought for two seconds before saying, ”Let’s just call it the Facial Destruction Bootprint!”

Everyone was speechless.

Is he making up the name of his technique on the spot? In an instant, the people from Medicine King Valley understood that Ye Xiu was toying with them.

”Jiang Hai, let’s join forces,” Jiang Yuan said, drawing his sword.

”Agreed!” Jiang Hai also drew his sword.

The two charged at Ye Xiu in unison. They didn’t charge straight ahead but split up, circling around to attack him from both sides. At the same time, they wielded their swords so fast they created an impenetrable screen of steel.

By joining forces and attacking from different directions with our impenetrable sword screen, Ye Xiu’s leg will surely be shredded the moment he tries to kick. Moreover, he only has one chance to kick. Once he does, the other one of us will slay him!

”Playing with swords in front of me? You’re too green!” Ye Xiu casually raised his hand.

Instantly, with the exception of Jiang Yuan and Jiang Hai, every weapon in the hands of those present unsheathed itself and flew through the air, lining up to charge at the two attackers.

”This...” Jiang Yuan and Jiang Hai were taken aback. They were too preoccupied with fending off the overwhelming storm of blades to attack Ye Xiu.

Bai Shanjun and everyone from Medicine King Valley, as well as An Dongye and the others, were also shaken by Ye Xiu’s move. They were all capable of minor tricks like telekinesis, but to control so many blades at once and direct them to attack an enemy—no one present could manage that.

”Is this... is this the legendary highest realm of Sword Dao, the Return of Myriad Swords?” Bai Shanjun suddenly exclaimed in shock.

”Give me a break. For an old man, you’re awfully ignorant,” Ye Xiu scoffed. With a wave of his hand, the blades ganging up on Jiang Yuan and Jiang Hai flew off into the distance.

The next moment, a sky full of Sword Qi erupted from Ye Xiu’s body. In an instant, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Hai were turned into two blood-soaked figures.

”This is the true Return of Myriad Swords!” Ye Xiu declared.

Bai Shanjun was astounded! Everyone from Medicine King Valley was astounded! An Dongye, Dongfang Chaonan, and the others were astounded!

Ye Xiu’s power left them breathless. Jiang Yuan and Jiang Hai were both Second Realm War Gods of the older generation. Jiang Yuan, in particular, was so formidable that few in the Totem Clans and other organizations could completely defeat him. Yet, even when they joined forces, they couldn’t get close to Ye Xiu and were easily slashed to ribbons by him.

”You... you are...” Bai Shanjun suddenly trembled with fear. He finally realized who Ye Xiu was.

When he’d first heard that Jiang Yuan had sold Ye Xiu to the Xipoloya training camp ten years ago, a flicker of realization had crossed his mind, but he hadn’t grasped it. Now, he had.

Ten years ago, Huang Quan had made his debut by slaughtering everyone at the Xipoloya training camp!

”If you dare to say it out loud, Medicine King Valley will cease to exist,” Ye Xiu said with a smile.

”I won’t say it! I won’t say it!” Bai Shanjun stammered frantically.

This scene left everyone from Medicine King Valley, along with An Dongye’s group, utterly bewildered. Why had Old Freak Bai suddenly become so terrified?

”I’ll ask one last time,” Ye Xiu said. ”I want to send all members of the reformist faction of Medicine King Valley to Xipoloya. Do you agree?”
