Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: The Medicine King Makes a Fool of Himself

Ling Xiao admitted that whether in cultivation level or alchemy skills, Sun Ran was better than him.

But that didn’t mean he would bow his head in apology or act like a turtle in front of this person.

What’s more, he had his trump cards, and wouldn’t necessarily fear this Medicine King Sun Ran.

”That guy’s gone mad, daring to speak to Medicine King like that?”

Even Xiao Zhan and Dan Qing drew in a sharp breath this time, Ling Xiao’s audacity was utterly beyond their expectations.

Fearless—perhaps this word was made for people like him.

”Qualifications? Just based on the fact that I can crush you like an ant anytime I want!”

Sun Ran revealed a faint smile. Though not exactly grim, it carried a cold murderous air.

”Then go ahead and try!”

Ling Xiao said casually, ”A senior of your standing, disregarding the details of the situation, refusing to uphold justice, and relying solely on strength to oppress others—do you really think our Divine Phoenix Continent and Heavenly Dragon Continent have no one capable of standing up to you?”

”Ahem, Sun Brother, why be angry at a mere child? After all, he’s just a young one.”

Ling Xiao had elevated the matter to a power struggle between the Divine Phoenix Continent, Heavenly Dragon Continent, and the White Tiger Continent, leaving Jackson Le Grandmaster no choice but to step in.

Changle Immortal Island was the most powerful faction on the first two continents; if its leader yielded, the island would lose its authority to command all heroes in the future.

”Dan Changle! Are you really planning to back this boy?”

Sun Ran asked gloomily.

”Brother Sun, don’t lose your temper. Are you really willing to clash with the Divine Phoenix Continent and Heavenly Dragon Continent over a mere child?”

The speaker this time was a man with long green hair, wearing half a mask. His clothing bore the insignia of Tianlong Trade Company.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this man was the true leader of Tianlong Trade Company on the White Tiger Continent—clearly more suited for the role than Ji Luoyu.

”Ji Qing! Are you standing up for this boy too?”

Sun Ran frowned and asked.

If Jackson Le Grandmaster sought mercy for Ling Xiao, he could somewhat understand—it was, after all, Ling Xiao who had saved Jackson’s life.

But Ji Qing’s reasoning left him puzzled.

”Not pleading for him, but simply reasoning. A child, even if a little unruly, doesn’t warrant us stooping to their level—it would be beneath us.”

Ji Qing said indifferently.

”Hmph, lucky for you this time, kid. But even if you don’t detoxify Xiao Zhan, do you truly think I won’t be able to handle the toxin myself?”

Sun Ran, perhaps unwilling to disrespect Jackson Le Grandmaster but mindful of Ji Qing’s influence, chose to relent.

This man had obtained a Mo Yan since childhood and learned the legacy of the Ancient Demons—a figure with both virtue and vice, utterly terrifying. In the White Tiger Continent, people would prefer to provoke Sun Ran rather than this individual.

”If the senior wishes to detoxify Xiao Zhan, this junior naturally has no objection. However, should you want assistance from this junior, then Xiao Zhan must sever his right arm without negotiation.”

Ling Xiao said coolly, ”But I must remind the senior that the toxin in question is the White Blood Poison, and it won’t be cleared by ordinary methods; extraordinary medical expertise alone is not sufficient.”

”Unbelievable arrogance! Who does he think he is, daring to talk down to Medicine King like that?”

”Exactly, just happened to luck out saving Jackson Le Grandmaster from poisoning, and now he thinks himself some kind of deity.”

The crowd erupted into chaos. Everyone present felt Ling Xiao’s arrogance was overwhelming.

Then again, these individuals were invited by Sun Ran, so naturally, they sided with him.

And beyond that, none of them believed Ling Xiao was correct.

Ling Xiao offered no explanation, merely fulfilling his duty with a single reminder. Whether the other party listened or not was entirely their business.

”Today, I’ll show you how a Mysterious Grade Pharmacist detoxifies and heals!”

Sun Ran gave Ling Xiao a cool glance.

Then he pointed his finger towards Xiao Zhan, releasing several streams of powerful energy that began circulating within Xiao Zhan’s body.

The spectacle of his treatment was nothing short of dazzling.

Various colored energies flashed intermittently, captivating the audience.

And each move he made was extraordinarily precise.

Many observers were left utterly astonished.

”Amazing!”

Some even stood up, shouting in admiration.

Ling Xiao, however, showed only a faint smile.

Treating and saving someone wasn’t about putting on a magic trick.

He acknowledged Sun Ran’s advanced skills, but White Blood Poison was simply not cured in this manner—it required a full blood transfusion to eradicate completely.

Sun Ran was merely showing off his technique. Such a man lacked real substance; Ling Xiao refused to believe he was much of an alchemist.

A quarter hour passed.

Cold sweat began forming on Sun Ran’s forehead.

Xiao Zhan’s complexion, on the other hand, worsened.

White Blood Poison had not weakened; on the contrary, it had grown even more savage, devouring fully one-third of Xiao Zhan’s blood, leaving him teetering on the brink of death.

”How could this happen?”

Sun Ran’s face turned dark red. He couldn’t understand what had gone wrong.

”Senior, White Blood Poison is not like ordinary toxins. Your method is flawed. Even with exceptional expertise, you won’t just fail to save him—you’ll actually worsen the situation!”

Ling Xiao reminded him, ”If Xiao Zhan dies, don’t blame me. Originally, the White Blood Poison in his body would have dissipated on its own over time, but now, it has reached a critical point. Unless his entire blood supply is replaced, death is inevitable.”

Ling Xiao’s expression remained calm.

Yet these words, as they fell on Sun Ran’s ears, felt incredibly mocking.

He wasn’t saving someone; he was harming them?

The surrounding martial artists fell silent.

At this moment, they finally understood that Ling Xiao’s words weren’t just sensationalized—they were true.

”Ling Xiao, save me!”

Xiao Zhan didn’t want to die!

Though domineering and reckless, his desire for life burned just as fiercely as anyone else’s.

”I can save you, but you must publicly apologize to me, sever one of your arms, and swear never to trouble me again—or else, you’ll die as a corpse abandoned in the wilderness!”

Ling Xiao’s gaze was composed, an embodiment of consequences catching up—a prime example of reaping what one sows.

Ling Xiao was already being generous. He was still willing to help save Xiao Zhan, whereas others might not have bothered entertaining the idea.

”You don’t trust me?”

Sun Ran glared furiously at Xiao Zhan and asked.

”No! Junior will forever be grateful for your kindness, but this is Ling Xiao’s White Blood Poison. Even for you, senior, studying it thoroughly might take some time, no?”

Xiao Zhan hurriedly explained.

”Hmph! Suit yourself then.”

Sun Ran managed to keep his composure, understanding that continuing further would only make things worse, tarnishing his reputation further.

He cast Ling Xiao a brief look and said, ”This time, I lost out due to unfamiliarity with White Blood Poison—not because my medical skill is lesser than yours.”

”Of course, senior’s medical expertise surpasses mine many times over.”

Ling Xiao maintained a humble demeanor.

After all, it was true—his medical skills were indeed inferior to those of Sun Ran.

However, White Blood Poison only existed in the world imprinted in Ling Xiao’s memory, and only he knew its cure.

Moreover, the White Blood Poison contained within his Light and Shadow Divine Cone was modified to replicate more quickly and yield faster effects, thanks to his powerful soul energy.
