Medical Sage

”Ah, I thought I could hold on for a few rounds. Yet, someone this pathetic dared to question my words. Why bother?”

Staring at the ice shards fluttering in the sky, chilling and brilliantly glowing, the white-robed man shook his head and sighed lightly. His presence caused everyone’s soul to tremble. Even someone as strong as the Elderly Woman of Kunshan was deemed ’so pathetic’ by him?

”Too powerful! This man must be an invincible Great Heaven Rank existence!”

The crowd’s shock was beyond words. In all of Earth Martial City, there were a total of only five Great Heaven Rank figures! And they couldn’t render the Elderly Woman of Kunshan so vulnerable, let alone with a single fatal strike...

This means that this mysterious person is likely stronger and more fearsome than even the five supreme overlords of their Earth Martial City!

”Who exactly is this person?” At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: Who is this mysterious and unparalleled powerhouse? How can he possess such terrifying divine might?

Even Chen Fei didn’t know who came to assist him. However, this white-robed man was indeed a terrifying figure! The Peak of Minor Heavenly Position was simply defenseless before him—utterly strong.

At this moment, the most despairing and tragic ones were undoubtedly the Seven Sword Guardians of the Lan Family. The Elderly Woman of Kunshan was the strongest in their Lan Family, and now she was dead. And most of their Minor Heavenly Rank powerhouses were dead too. It was foreseeable that the status of the Lan Family would plummet...

But at this moment, a cruel, whisper-like voice echoed beside them, like a demon: ”Since one is already dead, why not make it a few more to settle everything once and for all...”

”No!” The Seven Sword Guardians of Lan Family raised their heads in horror, their pupils meeting the merciless eyes of the white-robed man, and promptly shouted. Yet, in the next second, blue power, heavier than mountains and colder than Myriad Years Mystic Ice, descended upon them!

The blue mystic ice within the heavens became eternal!

”Ah...” A tragic cry echoed, one of the Seven Sword Guardians of the Lan Family was engulfed by the frost, his arm seemingly frozen stiff; he tried to dodge, but that power directly froze him in place. With a crack, he shattered like an ice sculpture.

Everyone’s pupils contracted, frozen at the scene.

”Not good! Escape...” The remaining Seven Sword Guardians of the Lan Family’s faces changed drastically, wanting to escape but they realized in despair there was no way they could escape. Facing a powerhouse of this level, with the loss of the Seven Seas Battle Formation’s power, they were like ants, making escape impossible. They would all die here...

Bang! Another sound of ice breaking resounded, a figure fell from the sky, then the second, third, fourth... until the final figure. After all the Seven Sword Guardians of the Lan Family died violently, only then did everyone awaken as if from a dream, fearfully lowering their heads.

At this moment, they even lost the courage to look up at the white-robed man.

On this day, the powerful Lan Family of Earth Martial City mobilized to suppress Chen Fei.

On this day, Chen Fei alone declared war on the attacking crowd!

On this day, the fall of more than ten top powerhouses shocked everyone. Yet Chen Fei survived.

On this day, Earth Martial City’s Lan Family was annihilated!

Having lost the supreme support like the Elderly Woman of Kunshan, lost the guarding force of the Seven Sword Guardians, lost five to six Minor Heavenly Rank giants... indeed, the Lan Family had no need to exist any longer.

”Now, can you disperse?” After completing all this, the white-robed man’s gaze calmly swept across this heavenly land. Then, his voice sounded steadily, causing everyone’s soul to tremble, as they all fell silent like cicadas in winter.

Even Jianng Wanli and Wang Zhanxin, those Peak of Minor Heavenly Position figures, could only bow their heads, clench their teeth, and walk away in silence.

If they didn’t show respect, they might die!

At this moment, they didn’t even dare inquire about the origins of the white-robed man. Because what’s the point of asking? He didn’t rely on status or background; just with fists alone, he made everyone bow in submission. Asking would be pointless at this juncture!

And today’s events, without surprise, will definitely shake the entire Earth Martial City, and even all the Outer Domain! It will leave a deep impression in their memories.

At this time, the heavens and earth also became empty once again. Everyone departed with shocked expressions, not daring to linger, because the white-robed man commanded them to ’disperse.’ And the desolated ruins seemed to testify how terrifying the battle that took place here was.

Chen Fei gazed towards the figure of the white-robed man in the sky, his eyes glinting slightly. He then bowed towards him, expressing thanks: ”Chen Fei survived the calamity, thanks to the senior. Regardless of how, thank you!”

The white-robed man’s gaze fell on Chen Fei, paused for a moment, then spoke calmly: ”I learned about you from Qi Xuchong.”

”Senior Qi Xuchong?” Chen Fei was momentarily startled, then seemed to understand the man’s intention slightly, and smiled: ”So, what does senior want me to help you with?”

”I do have something I want your help with, but honestly, now that I’ve met you in person, I don’t know if you’re capable enough.”

The man in white looked at Chen Fei and said calmly, ”By the way, my name is Zhongli, but I don’t use that name much anymore. Everyone who knows me calls me the Ice Demon Marquis. You can call me that too.”

”Ice Demon Marquis, senior,” Chen Fei nodded and said.

”Now, let me ask you solemnly once more, are you really a King-level Alchemist?”

The Ice Demon Marquis’ eyes fell heavily on Chen Fei as he spoke.

Chen Fei was too young, honestly, even with Qi Xuchong’s assurance, he found it hard to believe.

”Yes,” Chen Fei didn’t offer much explanation, just nodded calmly. But within his calm response, the Ice Demon Marquis could feel a surging confidence.

Feeling this confidence, the Ice Demon Marquis’ expression finally eased a bit. At the same time, his eyes held a bit more hope as he said, ”If you are truly a King-level Alchemist, you should be able to heal, right?”

”Did you bring the person here? If so, let me examine them carefully before saying more,” Chen Fei didn’t answer immediately but replied in this manner.

”Come with me!” The Ice Demon Marquis was straightforward, responding directly before turning and flying off in a direction. Chen Fei didn’t hesitate, immediately rising into the air to follow.

With one leading and one following, they traveled for about one or two hours, deep in the endless mountains. On an inconspicuous stone peak, the Ice Demon Marquis led Chen Fei inside. Once they entered the stone peak, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed, shrouded in mist with a dreamlike quality.

Furthermore, in the distance, their field of view included a peculiar, shiny black lake. The lake water was entirely black, without gloss or brightness, and only a gigantic beast, wolf-like, rested with closed eyes in it, its life force incredibly weak.

”Frost Snow Demon Wolf?” Chen Fei was slightly taken aback upon seeing the beast, then muttered to himself.

”You know?” The Ice Demon Marquis’ slightly surprised voice came through. This beast was his demon pet, but its origins had nothing to do with this Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, and yet Chen Fei knew of it?

”Yes, a King Blood Desolate Beast, right? At such a size, this Frost Snow Demon Wolf should be an adult by now, but to be injured like this is indeed troublesome.” Chen Fei spoke lightly, a change in his mentality having occurred to some extent.

As he finished speaking, he directly stepped towards the black lake. The Ice Demon Marquis’ eyes flickered as he followed from behind, asking, ”Any solutions?”

”Not sure yet, let’s check first.”

Chen Fei reached the edge of the black lake, stirred the lake water with his hand, then lifted it to his nose to sniff, his pupils showing a tinge of shock as he murmured, ”It’s really Rootless Demon Water. Who taught you to find something like this?”

Before the Ice Demon Marquis could answer, Chen Fei floated to land on the enormous body of the beast, ready to conduct a thorough examination. But as soon as his foot landed, his expression changed slightly. His brows then furrowed.

”What’s the matter?” The Ice Demon Marquis appeared beside him, asking calmly.

”Does the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom have any activity by the Fallen Heaven Blood Clan?” Chen Fei raised his head and asked the Ice Demon Marquis.

Upon hearing the words ’Fallen Heaven Blood Clan,’ the Ice Demon Marquis’ expression changed suddenly, his gaze sweeping across Chen Fei’s face, sharp as ice, eyes flashing, asking, ”What have you found out?”

”Was this Frost Snow Demon Wolf injured by the Fallen Heaven Blood Clan? No wonder you used Rootless Demon Water to seal it, but this thing is nearly ineffective against the Demon Poison Blood of the Fallen Heaven Blood Clan.” Chen Fei shook his head and spoke quietly.

Bang! The Ice Demon Marquis grabbed Chen Fei’s shoulder with a hand, gripping it painfully, somewhat agitatedly saying, ”If not using Rootless Demon Water, then what? Tell me! Since you know everything so clearly, you should know how to expel the Demon Poison Blood of the Fallen Heaven Blood Clan, right?”

Chen Fei’s brows furrowed, feeling his shoulder about to be crushed and frozen, but he didn’t say anything more, shaking his head and saying, ”Currently, there’s no good solution... unless you can find and kill a member of the Fallen Heaven Blood Clan, using their blood as an antidote. But, I guess that’s impossible, right?”

The Ice Demon Marquis, body softening, loosened his grip, shaking his head with a bitter smile, saying, ”Sorry... indeed, it’s impossible. If I could kill that member of the Fallen Heaven Blood Clan, my old companion wouldn’t be like this.”

”Ice Demon Marquis, senior, would you mind telling me exactly what happened?” Chen Fei asked. From what he knew, the area where the Fallen Heaven Blood Clan was active was at least thousands of miles away from this Qiannan Ancient Kingdom. How did they encounter them!?

”Never mind, since you’re so eager to know, it’s no harm in telling you...”
