Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Lin Feiyan’s gaze landed on a man in a white Dao robe among the crowd, saying, “I don’t have the ability to take you out of the Dao Transformation Forest, but that person does.”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze locked onto the man in the robe, suddenly feeling somewhat familiar.

Thinking carefully, he remembered that the man was the Huang Master he had encountered earlier with the Wang family at the bottom of the stone lake!

“Well, why is it this guy?”

“Do you know him?”

“We’ve got a bit of a grudge, you could say.”

Sun Zhe found it amusing, seeing Huang Master terrified, pale-faced, screaming in the crowd, he asked, “Does such a coward truly have the ability to get out of this forest?”

Lin Feiyan said, “I’m not sure, but at least it’s a bit of hope.”

Sun Zhe said no more, his figure flashed towards Master Huang.

Lin Feiyan, afraid of being targeted by the Dao Transformation Vine, quickly followed.

…

As the Pure Yang Sacred Fire blossomed, the dense vines, like a swarm of snakes out of a nest, scattered away instantly.

“Thank you, senior, for saving my life!”

Huang Master was in a very sorry state, scrambling over to Sun Zhe to express his gratitude.

Sun Zhe, too lazy to talk much, grabbed him by the shoulder and flew into the sky, suddenly coming to a halt and looking back at the other Outer World Cultivators, saying flatly, “I’m only saving one person, the rest of you are on your own. Anyone who dares to follow will die.”

The group of Outer World Cultivators stood on the spot, looking at each other.

Not long after.

Sun Zhe heard a series of shrill screams coming from behind, thinking that those Dao Transformation Vines must have come back.

…

“Boom!”

Sun Zhe found a secluded place, roughly threw Huang Master onto the ground.

Huang Master hurriedly climbed up, smiling broadly, “I still don’t know your esteemed name, senior. I’ll be sure to repay you later!”

“Hey, long time no see.”

Sun Zhe with a smile on his face, slowly removed the mask from his face.

Upon seeing Sun Zhe’s face clearly, Huang Master was stunned, anger gradually igniting in his eyes.

“Damn, it’s you, you little … uh!”

But before he could finish, Sun Zhe grabbed his face, flipping him over and pinning him down, then jumped on top and rained down punches!

Lin Feiyan stood aside, her brows furrowed, seeing that large fist landing again and again on Huang Master’s face, she couldn’t help but feel the pain for him.

Unable to watch any longer, she turned and walked to the side.

A few minutes later.

After a round of physical persuasion, Huang Master finally became docile and sensible.

“Do you yield?”

“I yield! I yield!”

Huang Master, with a pig-headed face, blood gushing from his nose and mouth, tried very hard to squeeze out a smile, but it was uglier than crying, his voice muffled, “Please stop, such a big grudge… I was just cooperating with the Wang family, meant no harm towards you, master!”

“Master, from now on you’re my boss! I’ll follow you!”

Not surprised by Huang Master’s attitude and reaction, Sun Zhe had already seen this coward hiding behind those Outer World Cultivators, screaming in panic, proving himself to be a coward fearing death.

Sun Zhe put on the mask again, asking, “What’s your name?”

“Huang… My name is Huang Liang.”

Sun Zhe cut to the chase, “Do you have a way to get out of the Dao Transformation Forest?”

Upon hearing this, Huang Liang smacked his chest, accidentally hitting a rib broken by Sun Zhe’s fist, wincing in pain, then said confidently, “Of course I do! Before coming, I had already researched the Dao Transformation Forest thoroughly!”

“Alas!”

He sighed while saying, “Unfortunately, I overlooked the many Dao Transformation Vines inside the forest, luckily you saved me this time, otherwise I would have…”

Sun Zhe smiled calmly, “There’s no such coincidence, just happening to come and save you.”

“Earlier, I saw that group of cultivators desperately protecting you, and the fact you lasted so long without dying indicates you have some means of self-preservation.”

Huang Liang chuckled embarrassedly, saying, “They need me to get out of this Dao Transformation Forest, that’s why they protected me like that.”

Sun Zhe’s tone turned slightly serious, “Then the question is, since you can get out of the Dao Transformation Forest, and you had the chance to move under their protection, why are you staying here and not leaving?”

“It’s…”

Huang Liang glanced at Lin Feiyan nearby, hesitating on what to say.

Sun Zhe squinted slightly, caught his evasive gaze, asking, “Does this mean there’s treasure in the Dao Transformation Forest? That despite knowing you’ll die, you’d stay guarding that sliver of hope?”

“Indeed!”

Huang Liang nodded heavily and said to Sun Zhe, “Master, you may not know, but this so-called Dao Transformation Forest is actually formed from the ‘shed body’ left behind after an Earth Immortal ascends!”

“And the supreme treasure within this Dao Transformation Forest is the Dao Transformation Fruit.”

“It is said that consuming the Dao Transformation Fruit can greatly enhance one’s cultivation, and one can even comprehend the Earth Immortal’s divine skills and Daoist techniques from it. The fruit even has the power to bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe’s heart stirred, and he asked, “Where is the Dao Transformation Fruit?”

Huang Liang said, “There is only one Dao Transformation Fruit, and it was recently seized by a female cultivator from the Kunlun Ancestral Land. Its current whereabouts are unknown.”

Sun Zhe frowned lightly, “A female cultivator from the Kunlun Ancestral Land?”

Huang Liang said, “That Kunlun Female Cultivator’s cultivation has reached the Soul Void Realm, ruthless and merciless in her actions. After seizing the Dao Transformation Fruit, she fled. Our Outer World strongmen pursued her, and they are probably still somewhere in the Dao Transformation Forest.”

Upon hearing Huang Liang’s words, Sun Zhe’s mood gradually grew heavier.

On Earth, there are not many even in the Nascent Soul Realm, let alone the Spirit Gathering Realm or Soul Void Realm.

Among the women Sun Zhe knows, only his mother Xia Shiyue, his aunt Xia Shiqing, and his second aunt Jiang Qinglan are in the Soul Void Realm.

“Could it be one of them?”

Sun Zhe was suddenly filled with a bad premonition. Staring at Huang Liang, he said, “Which direction, approximately? Take me to find them!”

Huang Liang sensed the urgency in Sun Zhe’s tone, even feeling a hint of piercing killing intent, and dared not say more. He quickly took out a compass, muttering incantations as he started to divine.

Sun Zhe didn’t know what he was doing but did not interrupt.

Lin Feiyan came over to explain, “He is using the ‘Minor Heaven’s Secret Divination Technique’ to help you calculate the approximate location of that Kunlun Female Cultivator.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe nodded, having no choice but to wait patiently.

About ten minutes later.

Huang Liang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, hurriedly putting away the compass and retracting his energy. He said to Sun Zhe painfully, “Found it, southwest direction!”

“If you don’t want to be sucked dry by the Dao Transformation Vines, follow closely!”

Sun Zhe tossed a healing and energy-stabilizing Elixir to Huang Liang, spread his wings, and flew at full speed.

“…”

Flying in a straight line towards the southwest, soon, Sun Zhe indeed heard intense sounds of battle.

Landing lightly, as he approached, he found five Outer World cultivators besieging a woman!

But then Sun Zhe sighed in relief, because he noticed that the Earth woman, covered in wounds, wearing a blood-stained white dress, and being besieged, was not the Soul Void Realm female cultivator he knew.

Neither Xia Shiyue, nor Xia Shiqing, nor Jiang Qinglan.

But since he encountered this, as a fellow Earthling, he naturally had to intervene.

So, he prepared the Dragon Intent Fist, found an opening amidst the chaos, and flew directly to ambush, decisively punching an Outer World old man into shattered pieces!

“Beauty, hold on!”

After taking down one person with a punch, Sun Zhe endured the excruciating pain of a shattered right arm, once again unleashed the Dragon Intent Fist, and flew toward a middle-aged man.

A thunderous boom!

The first-level Soul Void Realm middle-aged man instantly turned into a mist of blood and fragments under the assault of the fist force.

The woman in the white dress’s eyes trembled, watching Sun Zhe’s figure, she only felt that it was like a war god descending to the mortal world.

Sun Zhe took a deep breath, standing tall in the void, scanning the remaining three, and said with a slight smile, “Life or death, it all hinges on the three of you.”

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances, sharing a look, knowing Sun Zhe was giving them a chance.

“To have killed two of us upon arrival, this person’s strength is extraordinary. We are injured; perhaps it’s best to retreat for now?”

“Exactly.”

“Then let’s retreat!”

An old man cupped his fists toward Sun Zhe and said coldly, “Masked friend, until we meet again.”

Watching the three leave, Sun Zhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the fight continued, although he was confident of winning, it would also be very painful.

After confirming the three had truly left, Sun Zhe walked toward the woman in the white dress, “Beauty, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. May I know how to address you? For today’s kindness, I must repay generously.”

Sun Zhe waved his hand, “No need, we are all Earthlings. You can call me… Ghost.”

The woman in the white dress cupped her fists, “I am Yuan Xinyi.”

“Yuan Xinyi?”

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe frowned slightly, suddenly feeling the name was somewhat familiar, seemingly heard somewhere, but he couldn’t recall at that moment.

“Miss Yuan is seriously injured. If you don’t mind, you can leave this forest with me.”
