Medical and Martial God

Under the night sky at the Long Family Manor, thousands of Long Family experts hopped up and down in the torrential rain as if it were a massive rave. At that moment, the First and Second Realm War Gods were frightened out of their wits. They faced the Gatling guns, which poured out a metallic flood at a rate of 6,000 bullets per minute. They had never imagined that firearms could possess such astonishing power. It was terrifying!

Facing such a hellish, lethal attack, the only thought in the minds of the Long Family members was to find cover! But the Long Family Manor was far too open. There were only a few villas, three residential buildings, a livestock area, and a restaurant, and each of these four locations had a roaring Gatling gun. No one dared to run toward those places. Besides, there was An Dongye, the ruthless Gun God, whose shots never missed.

Thirty seconds later, the roar of the Gatling guns finally ceased. The survivors from the Long Family felt as if they had just returned from Ghost Gate, and their first instinct was to flee the Long Family Manor immediately.

Just then, a voice tinged with dissatisfaction rose from the darkness. ”Out of bullets already?”

The Long Family members, who had been frantically running toward the manor gates, all slammed on the brakes. They stopped trying to escape. The bullets are gone! There’s no need to run. Now it’s our turn to reap lives!

”Ye Xiu, you’re an unethical bastard!” the Long Master and his second-in-command shouted as they emerged from one of the villas. The Long Master roared furiously, ”As a Martial Artist, you used firearms! You’re utterly shameless!”

”Ye Xiu? What Ye Xiu?” a puzzled voice responded. Then, the Long Master and all the members of the Long Family saw four rather homely figures approaching from four different directions: Dongfang Chaonan, Dongfang Dazhuang, Dongfang Erlang, and Dongfang Meili.

”Where’s Ye Xiu? Tell him to get his ass out here!” The Long Master was momentarily stunned when he saw the four of them. Not recognizing them, he demanded angrily, ”He dared to use firearms to massacre the sponsors of the Mist Chant Martial Meeting. He has openly made an enemy of the three Arbiter Families.”

”Give me a break,” Dongfang Chaonan said as his group walked over. ”Ye Xiu isn’t here. He gifted the Long Family Manor to us. We were the ones who massacred you with machine guns, so what the hell does this have to do with Ye Xiu?” As he spoke, the Long Family members had already surrounded them.

What? Ye Xiu isn’t here? The Long Master and all the Long Family experts nearly coughed up blood in a fit of rage. They had launched a grand night raid on the Long Family Manor, intending to kill Ye Xiu and annihilate the elites of the thirteen external families, only to find that not only was Ye Xiu absent, but he had also given the manor away!

The Long Master was so enraged he felt light-headed and nearly fainted. ”Who are you?” he demanded furiously. ”Don’t you know that massacring sponsors is a capital offense?”

”I’m Dongfang Chaonan, from the Dongfang Family of the Totem Clan,” he said, tilting his head like a bandit. ”The sponsors of the Mist Chant Martial Meeting might scare ordinary people, but in the eyes of us Totem Inheritors, they mean nothing. I could slaughter you right in front of the three Arbiter Families, and they wouldn’t say a word.”

”The Dongfang Family?” The Long Master was dumbfounded. As an affiliate of the Medicine King Valley, the Long Family knew exactly what kind of family the Dongfang Family was. They also knew that Totem Inheritors had the special privilege to kill sponsors.

”Are you really from the Dongfang Family?” the Long Master questioned, finding it hard to believe that Ye Xiu would know people from a Totem Clan.

”Dazhuang, Erlang, Meili, this old geezer doesn’t believe who we are. Let’s give him a little demonstration.” As he spoke, Dongfang Chaonan charged forward and split a First Realm War God of the Long Family in two with a single strike.

”Alright!” Dongfang Dazhuang, Dongfang Erlang, and Dongfang Meili attacked at the same time.

The five-foot-tall Dongfang Dazhuang, wielding a two-meter-long greatsword, spun like a top. In an instant, three First Realm War Gods from the Long Family were bisected at the waist. The seven-foot-tall Dongfang Erlang, who looked like a towering bear, charged through the enemy ranks with an axe in each hand, hacking left and right. Dongfang Meili’s fighting style was more flamboyant. Wielding two small knives, every pose she struck was utterly enchanting and seductive, yet shockingly lethal.

The members of the Long Family didn’t stand idle. Seeing the quartet attack to kill, they all charged forward in a rage. The Long Master himself went directly to confront Dongfang Chaonan.

This... From the very first clash, the Long Master was at a clear disadvantage, completely overwhelmed by Dongfang Chaonan.

The Long Master had become a Second Realm War God through a dual enhancement: he had consumed a Marrow Cleansing Pill bestowed by the Medicine King Valley and also advanced via his Cultivation Technique. Therefore, his strength was greater than that of those who had advanced solely through a Cultivation Technique.

However, Dongfang Chaonan had also advanced through the dual enhancement of a Marrow Cleansing Pill and his Cultivation Technique, and on top of that, he had awakened the totemic power of the Dongfang Family. The Dongfang Family’s Totem was one of speed and power—a purely combative Totem. This allowed Dongfang Chaonan to completely dominate the Long Master in both speed and attack power.

”Stop! Stop! I believe you! I believe you’re from the Dongfang Family!” After just a few exchanges, the Long Master cried out for Dongfang Chaonan to stop. He knew with certainty that if the fight continued, he would die.

”Stop!” Dongfang Chaonan halted his attack on the Long Master and shouted the order. Dongfang Dazhuang, Erlang, and Meili immediately ceased their slaughter.

”Who are you?” Dongfang Chaonan asked, feigning ignorance. Since he was cooperating with Ye Xiu’s act, he might as well see it through to the end.

”We are the Long Family of Hundred Flowers Valley,” the Long Master said warily.

”Attempting to murder a Totem Inheritor during the Mist Chant Martial Meeting is a capital offense. Did you know that?” Dongfang Chaonan scolded.

”I know, I know,” the Long Master stammered, terrified.

”It’s good that you know. I’ll let you keep your lives for now, but if I find out you dare to oppose the Dongfang Family again, I’ll be back to take them.” Following Ye Xiu’s instructions, Dongfang Chaonan recited his lines in a harsh tone. ”Take your men and get out!”

”Yes, yes, yes!” The Long Master nodded repeatedly. He hurriedly called his men to collect the bodies, and with the injured in tow, they quickly departed from the Long Family Manor.

Just after they left, Ye Xiu walked over with Qin Qing, Chloe, and An Dongye.

Ye Xiu smiled. ”Brother Dongfang, thank you!”

”Hey, no need for thanks between brothers. If something like this comes up again, just give me a shout. I might not be good at much else, but I’m a professional when it comes to chopping people up,” Dongfang Chaonan said boisterously.

”Thanks are still in order,” Ye Xiu said with a smile. ”I’ve arranged for a little something for the Dongfang Family—a whole cargo plane filled with local specialties. Dong Fangbai is already waiting there. You can all take that plane home. I’ll come visit sometime soon.”

Hearing this, Dongfang Chaonan’s grin nearly split his face. ”Since you’ve already prepared it, brother, I won’t be polite! When you come to visit the Dongfang Family, I’ll be sure to slaughter the fattest pig to welcome you. By the way, you’d better visit soon. There are a few hundred patients at the Dongfang Family waiting for you.”

”I will definitely visit before the Mist Chant Martial Meeting,” Ye Xiu promised. ”Let’s go. We’ll head to the airport together.”
