Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Looking at the master and apprentice pair, Yao Rao and Han Xinyue, before him, Sun Zhe quietly breathed a sigh of relief. They were most likely attracted by the gunfire.

However, Sun Zhe remained vigilant. In some respects, Yao Rao was even more terrifying than that giant snake!

In the ensuing silence, Sun Zhe glared at Han Xinyue and said coldly, ”If anything happens to Su Nanzhi, don’t think you’re walking away from this!”

Feeling the sting of Sun Zhe’s resentment, Han Xinyue hid the pain in her heart and asked, her face a mask, ”So, you know everything?”

Sun Zhe’s expression was blank. ”You came to Celestial Prison Mountain for the prescription, too?”

Han Xinyue didn’t answer. Instead, she smiled and spread her hands. ”You can’t blame me. I never intended to do anything to Su Nanzhi. Actually, this was all Ye Fei’s idea. The entire scheme was orchestrated by him; I merely lent him a few people.”

Sun Zhe asked, ”Then why is he targeting the Su Family?”

Han Xinyue chuckled. ”Let’s just say that the Su Family’s live-in son-in-law harbors wolfish ambitions. He wants to control the Su Family and become its master, so he came to me for cooperation.”

With that, she looked at Bai Ran, who was standing beside Sun Zhe. Smiling, she waved. ”Junior Sister Bai, long time no see. I didn’t expect you’d be here too.”

After speaking, she stepped aside, glanced at Yao Rao, and said to Bai Ran, ”Seeing the Sect Leader, aren’t you going to kneel and pay your respects?”

Hearing this, Bai Ran looked at Yao Rao, her expression one of surprise. She hadn’t expected that the legendary Jade Fox Sect Leader would be such a young girl.

”I’m not a disciple of your Jade Fox Sect. Why should I pay respects to her?” Bai Ran glanced at Han Xinyue, her eyes filled with utter hatred as she said coldly, ”And don’t you call me Junior Sister.”

Han Xinyue’s gaze hardened. ”Your mother was a disciple of the Jade Fox Sect, and you are practicing our sect’s Cultivation Technique. These are unchangeable facts.”

This comment shattered Bai Ran’s composure. She shouted angrily, ”Don’t you dare mention my mother! You’re not worthy! Listen up, Han Xinyue, I have nothing to do with your Jade Fox Sect!”

Just then, Yao Rao finally spoke. ”Xinyue, what is going on?”

Seeing Yao Rao enter the conversation, Sun Zhe grew tense and instinctively moved closer to Bai Ran. Yao Rao was still as icily beautiful and pure, with an ethereal temperament. Even in this harsh, primordial forest, she was still dressed in her white gauze dress, spotless from head to toe. Yao Rao must be using True Qi to protect herself.

Han Xinyue bowed to Yao Rao and reported truthfully, ”Master, her mother is Bai Yue.”

Hearing the name, Yao Rao searched her memory before shaking her head. ”I’ve never heard of her.”

Han Xinyue explained, ”You were in seclusion at the time, Master, so naturally you wouldn’t have heard of her. This Bai Yue, despite being a disciple of our sect, married an outsider without permission. She even stole our sect’s Martial Arts and defected. A few years ago, the Great Elder found her and tried to persuade her to return. However, she responded with harsh words. In his anger, the Great Elder disciplined her according to the sect’s rules.”

”I see.” Yao Rao nodded slightly, then looked up at Bai Ran. Her eyes were devoid of emotion as she said faintly, ”Since you are not a disciple of our sect, you should not be practicing our Cultivation Technique. Today, I will give you two choices. Either return to the sect, or I will cripple your Cultivation immediately.”

At these words, Bai Ran’s beautiful eyes trembled, and her body shivered involuntarily. She didn’t want either choice!

Huang Qianggang suddenly raised his AK-47, aimed it at Yao Rao, and bellowed, ”You can damn well try! Dare to touch my wife, and I don’t care what kind of leader you are! I’ll kill you in a heartbeat!”

Yao Rao merely glanced at the gun barrel pointed at her, her expression unchanged. As if she hadn’t seen it, she continued to walk toward Bai Ran at an unhurried pace.

”Don’t move!” Huang Qianggang shouted, a sudden sense of oppression making him nervous. He took two steps forward. ”One more step and I’ll shoot you dead!”

But Yao Rao seemed to completely ignore him.

BANG!

The deafening gunshot echoed through the forest. Huang Qianggang had decisively pulled the trigger.

The next moment, however, his eyes widened, his gaze trembling violently as if he had seen a ghost.

The bullet had strangely halted in mid-air right before Yao Rao, motionless, as if time itself had stopped!

Nearby, Sun Zhe frowned slightly as he stared intently. He discovered a subtle flow of True Qi rippling in the air around Yao Rao, forming an invisible barrier. It was this protective barrier that prevented the bullet from reaching her.

Just then, Yao Rao gracefully lifted her hand. She caught the bullet between her index and middle fingers as if plucking a flower. Then, with a gentle flick, the bullet whistled through the air, shooting back along its original path toward Huang Qianggang.

Startled, Sun Zhe lunged forward, pulling Huang Qianggang out of the way. He then stood in front of the couple and said, ”Brother Huang, Sister-in-law, you two get back. This woman isn’t simple. I’ll have to be the one to handle her.”

Yao Rao looked at Sun Zhe expressionlessly. ”Haven’t you had enough suffering from the Ice and Fire True Qi yet?”

Sun Zhe grinned, his eyes raking over her lithe and lovely figure. ”You’ll be the one suffering more later, so what’s a little pain for me now?”

Hearing this, Yao Rao’s gaze sharpened. She couldn’t help but recall the black and white wings she had seen that night at the Zhou Mansion. ”Sun Witch Master, this is a matter of my sect. It has nothing to do with you. Do you truly intend to obstruct me?”

Sun Zhe’s eyes turned cold. ”Cut the crap. If you want to fight, let’s fight! How is crippling her Cultivation any different from killing her? And I really don’t get it. The so-called Jade Fox Sect is just a bunch of nobodies. It’s just some worthless Cultivation Technique, yet you act like it’s some incredible treasure. You should be honored that she’s even using your technique!”

Hearing Sun Zhe’s words, Han Xinyue’s eyes trembled. She shot a look at Yao Rao. It’s over... Sun Zhe’s words will definitely infuriate her!

However, contrary to Han Xinyue’s expectations, Yao Rao did not get angry. She remained as calm and unperturbed as ever.

In the quiet that followed, Yao Rao asked, ”Are you trying to provoke me?”

Sun Zhe’s eyelids drooped as he slowly settled into a stance. He smiled faintly. ”But it seems to have had no effect.”

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from Yao Rao. Her long hair flew about her as the ground within a radius of dozens of meters was swept by flying sand and stones.

”My heart is serene and my mind is clear.”

The instant her words fell, she transformed into a phantom, appearing before Sun Zhe on a fragrant breeze.

Sun Zhe immediately activated his Yin Yang X-ray Vision to guard against her Fox Charm Technique. Instead of retreating, he advanced, throwing a punch that crackled with thunder!

WHOOSH!

Yao Rao gracefully leaped back, skillfully dodging Sun Zhe’s fierce Thunder Fist with an air of unhurried calm. Her lithe figure was as soft as a wisp of smoke. In the blink of an eye, she flitted behind him. With an elegant wave of her arm, her gauze sleeve billowed like a cloud emerging from a mountain as she softly yet swiftly sent a palm strike toward him.

He chuckled inwardly. Pushing his Witch’s Step to its absolute limit, he dodged Yao Rao’s palm. Then, leaping into the air, he twisted at the waist, his right leg lashing out like a whip crackling with lightning, aimed straight for Yao Rao’s temple.

He always remembered Leng Yueshuang’s teachings—a clash between Martial Artists wasn’t a brawl, but a true battle to the death. Every move and strike had to be unleashed with the intent to kill! Besides, he was well-versed in the human body’s acupoints, so he knew precisely where to strike for a one-hit victory!

Faced with Sun Zhe’s thunderous whip kick, Yao Rao chose not to block it head-on. She elegantly retreated, her graceful figure flashing into the dense forest.

Sun Zhe’s kick met only air. He spun as he landed, then powerfully kicked off the ground. Like a compressed spring suddenly released, his body shot into the dense woods like an arrow from a bow, in hot pursuit of Yao Rao.

”Sect Leader Yao, is running and hiding all you know how to do?”

”Noisy.”

”...”

「On the other side.」

Watching the two figures flickering and colliding in the forest, the onlooking Han Xinyue and Bai Ran were all left dazzled and incredulous.

Huang Qianggang’s eyes were filled with worship. ”Doctor Sun is so damn formidable!” he praised.

Bai Ran’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she nodded emphatically. She truly hadn’t expected Sun Zhe to be able to fight the legendary Jade Fox Sect Leader on even footing. This was simply incredible!

BOOM!

Just then, the sound of a large tree crashing to the ground came from the forest not far away.

Bai Ran’s head snapped toward the sound. Her eyes widened as she cried out in alarm, ”It’s the snake! The giant snake is here!”
