Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Seeing this, Xu Wendong’s pupils shrank sharply, and he cursed inwardly that things were bad.

He had no time to think, stomped hard with both feet, and his body shot back several steps like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

The old man’s claw grasped empty air. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes as he mused to himself, ”This brat actually dodged my attack. Seems his talent isn’t bad... but that’s all it is.”

With that, the old man snorted coldly and again pressed in toward Xu Wendong.

At this critical moment, Lin Yin gritted her teeth and forced herself to make a move.

However, before she could do anything, she saw Liu Chun’er step out unhurriedly.

”Calm your anger, Old Liu. This one is called Lin Mo. He’s someone personally chosen by Elder Bai of the Heavenly Nether Sect. He’s about to join that trial of the Heavenly Nether Sect. If you kill him, I’m afraid Young Master Liu will have to take his quota instead.” Liu Chun’er had a faint smile on her face, but her tone was absolutely certain.

As soon as these words fell.

Old Liu’s pupils shrank in an instant, as if he’d just heard something horrifying.

Liu Hao was also frozen on the spot, his expression instantly stiffening.

”You mean the trial in that dangerous forbidden land?” Old Liu’s eyes flickered. His relationship with the Heavenly Nether Sect was close, and coupled with Liu Hao’s not-so-low status in the Heavenly Nether Sect, he knew a bit about some of its secrets.

Right now the Heavenly Nether Sect had selected a batch of disciples, planning to send them into that peril-filled forbidden zone to undergo a trial. Put bluntly, it was using their lives to explore the secrets within.

If he killed one of these chosen disciples, the trouble would very likely fall on the Liu Family.

”What’s wrong? Don’t dare touch me now?” Xu Wendong understood very well that Old Liu was a Tongyou Realm expert and he definitely couldn’t beat him, but relying on his special identity, Old Liu probably wouldn’t dare casually kill him either.

Since that was the case, what did he have to be afraid of?

The next moment.

Xu Wendong moved.

His figure appeared in front of Liu Hao like a ghost; he grabbed Liu Hao’s collar with one hand and started swinging with both hands, fiercely slapping Liu Hao across the face again and again.

”Smack! Smack smack!” Crisp slaps rang out one after another. Liu Hao was beaten dizzy, his face swelling up rapidly like a pig’s head.

Watching from the side, Old Liu was furious to the point of madness. His fists were clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, yet he still did not dare strike.

He forcibly held back the anger in his heart; veins bulged on his forehead, but he still did not dare deal a killing blow to Xu Wendong.

”Showing off in front of me? You think you’re worthy?” Xu Wendong laughed coldly. In his eyes, this so-called Young Master of the Liu Family and his Protector were nothing much.

”Old Liu, save me...” Liu Hao was beaten so miserably that his voice carried a sobbing lilt as he could only helplessly cry out to Old Liu for help.

The surrounding Secular Family young masters were all so shocked they were speechless.

They had never imagined that even with Liu Hao’s Protector revealing himself, he still wouldn’t dare lay a hand on Xu Wendong.

Just what kind of background did this Xu Wendong have, that even a Tongyou Realm expert was this wary of him?

”Brat, you’d best let Young Master Liu go. We’ll let this matter drop. Otherwise...” Old Liu ground his teeth, vicious light flickering in his eyes as he threatened.

”Otherwise kill me!” Xu Wendong roared back without the slightest fear.

He grabbed Liu Hao’s arms with both hands and smashed down with force.

”Crack...” A chilling sound of bones breaking echoed out. Everyone present shuddered all over and sucked in a sharp breath.

None of them had expected Xu Wendong to be this bold, this insanely arrogant.

”You...” Yin Energy instantly surged into Old Liu’s hands, and it looked like he was about to make a move.

But when he caught sight of the mocking look in Liu Chun’er’s eyes, his heart trembled and he immediately restrained that aura.

He knew very well that the karmic seed had already been planted. No matter what, the Liu Family absolutely did not want Liu Hao to replace Xu Wendong and go take that nine-deaths-one-life trial.

”What do you want?” Old Liu drew in a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart as he spoke in a low voice.

”Compensation. An apology.” Xu Wendong said loudly, every word firm and forceful.

Old Liu’s gaze flickered as he wavered inside.

Right then, Liu Hao was already crying from the pain, unable to bear it any longer. He hurriedly begged for mercy, ”I’ll apologize, I was wrong, big bro please stop hitting me.”

”Please let me go, it was my damn mouth. I won’t ever dare again.” Liu Hao’s voice was full of fear and regret. His wretched appearance made quite a few people secretly snicker in their hearts.

No one had expected that the usually high-spirited and imposing Young Master of the Liu Family would actually be such a coward afraid of death.

”You can let him go now, right?” Old Liu stared at Xu Wendong, his gaze icy.

”You’ve apologized, but what about the compensation?” Xu Wendong narrowed his eyes, a shrewd gleam in them as he pressed on relentlessly.

”You still want compensation?” Old Liu was so angry he almost laughed.

He thought to himself, this brat beat the Liu Family’s young master into this state, even broke an arm, and now he still wants the Liu Family to compensate him?

This was simply delusional!

”We agreed on compensation and an apology. I’m not missing either.” Xu Wendong’s gaze was firm, his tone like iron.

If not for relying on his special identity in the Heavenly Nether Sect to make the Liu Family wary, Old Liu probably would’ve already mercilessly taken his life.

He knew all too well that in this Netherworld where the weak are prey to the strong, once you have the upper hand, you mustn’t show mercy.

If he showed weakness or politeness now, there would be endless trouble in the future.

”I’ll pay! However much you want, I’ll pay!” At this moment Liu Hao was truly terrified. He regretted that moment of foul-mouthed arrogance that had stirred up such a disaster.

The prestige and arrogance he’d had as the Liu Family’s young master were long gone. Right now he only wished to quickly escape from this nightmare-like situation.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ying’er and Lin Yin both covered their mouths in shock, their eyes full of disbelief.

No one had expected this conflict to end like this.

Lin Yin’s eyes flickered, and she faintly felt that something was off.

Just now Liu Chun’er had said that if Xu Wendong was killed, Liu Hao would have to take his quota. What exactly did that mean?

Could it be that this trip Xu Wendong was making to the Heavenly Nether Sect would be unimaginably dangerous?

Thinking of this, the worry in Lin Yin’s heart surged like a tide, growing ever stronger.

”Since you were just about to pay a million for those ten Lingyun Haoqi Pills, I’m not asking for much either—just a million Nether Crystals.”

A cold smile curled at the corner of Xu Wendong’s mouth as he thought to himself: So what if you’ve got more money than me? So what if you’re stronger than me? Today I’ll make you lose more face than I ever did!

Liu Hao’s mouth twitched violently. Though the Liu Family was wealthy and a million Nether Crystals wasn’t something they couldn’t afford, handing over the money for nothing like this was a complete loss of face.

Seeing that Liu Hao was still hesitating, Xu Wendong raised his hand as if to strike again.

Liu Hao shuddered all over in fright and immediately wailed, ”Stop, I’ll pay, all right?!”
