Medical and Martial God

When Ye Xiu suddenly grabbed Wang Chaoyang by the neck, Wang Chaoyang was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

”Do you dare?” he said. ”If you have the guts, go ahead and strangle me.”

The Lord of the Long Family and Meng Haishan, who were locked in a fierce battle with Qin Qing and Chloe, were overjoyed when they saw Ye Xiu seize Wang Chaoyang.

They prayed for Ye Xiu to kill Wang Chaoyang. That way, Ye Xiu would be in complete opposition to the three great Judicator Families. Go for it, Ye Xiu! Do it!

”Wang Chaoyang, today I’m giving you a lesson, free of charge,” Ye Xiu said, resisting the powerful urge to crush the man’s throat. ”During every past Mist Chant Martial Meeting, the people who were wiped out by the three great Judicator Families for offending a sponsor were punished for one reason: they killed the sponsor themselves. This implies that if you only beat up a sponsor or kill their family members, the Judicator Families might not intervene.”

After hearing this, the defiant and smug expression on Wang Chaoyang’s face froze.

He had no idea about any of this. But he quickly understood that Ye Xiu was considering killing him just to test the Judicator Families’ reaction.

Realizing this, Wang Chaoyang panicked.

”Ye Xiu, are you insane? What if the Judicator Families kill people for that, too? I’m telling you to think twice! Don’t gamble with your life or your family’s!”

”Are you scared?” Ye Xiu’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Wang Chaoyang fell silent.

He was terrified! But he couldn’t admit it; that would be too humiliating. One moment he was acting high and mighty, and the next he had completely caved. It was a total loss of face.

”Scared of you?” Wang Chaoyang said, steeling himself. ”I’ve never been afraid of death. Kill me, if you have the nerve. After I die, I’ll be waiting for you and your family from beyond the grave.”

”Fine, I’ll oblige...” Ye Xiu was about to snap Wang Chaoyang’s neck when an idea suddenly struck him.

Last night, after receiving the Totem Power from Jiang Yuan, he had experimented on himself. He’d made a cut on his left arm and felt his Martial Prowess automatically gather at the wound, where it transformed into a strange energy. It was this strange energy that had healed the wound in moments, leaving no scar.

He wondered... could this strange energy leave his body to heal someone else’s injuries?

”Come, let me show you the medical skills of this Xuanse Medicine King.”

He immediately put his plan into action. Ye Xiu struck Wang Chaoyang’s acupoints to immobilize him, dragged him into the villa, and swiftly stripped off his shirt.

Wang Chaoyang was so frightened that the hair on his body stood on end.

”Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu, what... what are you going to do?”

”Just performing a little surgery!”

With that, he drew the Slaughter City Blade.

Surgery? The very thought sent a chill down Wang Chaoyang’s spine, and he began to scream.

”No, no, Ye Xiu, don’t! I won’t do it again! I’ll never provoke you again! Please, don’t operate on me, no...”

As he shouted, he watched in horror as Ye Xiu used the Slaughter City Blade to make an incision in his lower right abdomen.

”AHHH!”

Without anesthesia, Wang Chaoyang screamed in agony. Beyond the pain, the very sight of Ye Xiu performing surgery was terrifying. Who uses a blade that big for an operation? Even butchers in a slaughterhouse weren’t this crude. What’s more, Ye Xiu hadn’t even sterilized the Slaughter City Blade. What if he got tetanus?

”Keep screaming and I’ll stab you to death,” Ye Xiu glared.

Wang Chaoyang instantly fell silent. He then watched as Ye Xiu reached into the wound and forcibly yanked out his appendix.

SWISH!

With a single flick of the Slaughter City Blade, the appendix was severed.

”An appendectomy costs thousands at any hospital. A minimally invasive one would be over ten thousand. Today, I did it for you free of charge. No need to thank me,” Ye Xiu said.

Thank you? My ass! Give me back my appendix... Wang Chaoyang felt his mind starting to crumble.

”And now, the time has come to witness a miracle!”

Ye Xiu took a deep breath, placed his right hand over Wang Chaoyang’s wound, and slowly gathered his Martial Prowess into his palm.

Wang Chaoyang was wondering what kind of miracle Ye Xiu was talking about when he saw the wound on his abdomen heal at a visible rate, leaving not even a scar.

And it didn’t hurt anymore!

Holy moly! What kind of unholy medical skill was this? He had made such a huge cut, yet it healed instantly without even needing stitches!

”Just as I expected!” Ye Xiu was ecstatic. The Medicine King Valley Totem was truly miraculous! This means that anyone who inherits the Medicine King Valley Totem will become a Divine Doctor capable of healing external wounds.

”Were you using me as an experiment?” Wang Chaoyang was no fool; he could tell what had just happened.

”Provoke me again, and I’ll perform another surgery. This time it was your appendix. Next time, I’ll take a kidney,” Ye Xiu threatened as he unlocked Wang Chaoyang’s acupoints.

”Ah!”

Terrified, Wang Chaoyang scrambled to his feet and ran. He couldn’t bear to be in Ye Xiu’s presence for another second. The man was a monster!

Outside, the Lord of the Long Family and Meng Haishan were still fighting Qin Qing and Chloe, wondering what Ye Xiu had done with Wang Chaoyang inside the villa. Suddenly, they saw Wang Chaoyang sprint out, shirtless and screaming as if he’d seen a ghost.

The two of them sucked in a sharp breath. What in the world had Ye Xiu done to Wang Chaoyang?

”Chaoyang, wait for us!” the Lord of the Long Family roared, unleashing a furious slash. He used the moment Chloe parried the blow to break away and sprint after Wang Chaoyang.

Seeing this, Meng Haishan followed suit and gave chase as well.

Qin Qing and Chloe didn’t pursue them.

”What did you do to Wang Chaoyang?” Qin Qing asked with a sly grin.

Ye Xiu could guess her mind was in the gutter. ”I performed an appendectomy on him, free of charge. His appendix is still in the house. If you don’t believe me, go take a look.”

Qin Qing: ”...”

Chloe: ”...”

「...」

The Lord of the Long Family and Meng Haishan chased Wang Chaoyang out of the Long Family Manor and finally caught up to him.

Noticing the bloodstains on his body, the Lord of the Long Family asked, ”Chaoyang, what happened? Ye Xiu didn’t do anything to you in the house, did he?”

Of course I can’t tell the truth. Having my appendix ripped out is far too humiliating. How could I show my face if word of that got out?

”It’s nothing,” he lied. ”We just talked for a bit. I slapped him around a few times. The blood on me is what he coughed up.”

The Lord of the Long Family and Meng Haishan were overjoyed to hear this.

The Lord of the Long Family said, ”Ye Xiu dared to have those two women attack us. That counts as provoking a sponsor, doesn’t it? Chaoyang, I suggest you lead all the Long Family’s experts back to the Long Family Manor and slaughter Ye Xiu.”

I don’t want to see Ye Xiu ever again for the rest of my life... Wang Chaoyang thought, but what he said was, ”I have urgent business back in Yunluo City. I’ll leave the matter of killing Ye Xiu to you.”

”Alright!” the Lord of the Long Family nodded, urging, ”As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I suggest we invite the Ye Family of Yunluo City to join our sponsor group as well.”

”Good idea!” Wang Chaoyang agreed readily. He didn’t dare provoke Ye Xiu himself anymore, but the grudge for his lost appendix had to be settled. He would just let others get revenge for him.

”Let’s go,” he said. ”First, we need to buy new phones.”
