Medical and Martial God

Chapter 255: A Surprise Encounter with Ming Yue, Huang Quan Spare My Life!

It was a globally recognized fact among martial artists that the War God represented the peak of human potential, a threshold that was incredibly difficult to overcome. Many individuals and secret organizations around the world covertly researched methods to break through this physical limit. These methods included using animal genes, consuming Blood Pills, or seeking out special cultivation techniques left behind by their ancestors. However, successes were extremely rare.

"If this is the extent of your power, then fighting you is utterly pointless," Ye Xiu commented, his disinterest palpable.

"You... you dare look down on me?" Shen Shihao roared.

His fury exposed an opening, and Ye Xiu’s blade stabbed him squarely in the groin.

"AOW..."

Shen Shihao shrieked in agony, stumbling back repeatedly.

At this sight, the expressions of the Shen Family members turned grim. Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin, in particular, looked absolutely thunderous. They had intended for Shen Shihao to use Ye Xiu to hone his combat experience, but they never expected Ye Xiu to turn him into a eunuch.

"You bastard! How dare you sever my Shen family’s lineage!" Shen Qilin erupted in fury and lunged forward. Although Shen Shihao already had many sons and daughters, they were all illegitimate children born to mistresses and lovers. His legitimate wife had only given birth to a daughter and had not yet borne him a son. Now that Ye Xiu had turned Shen Shihao into a eunuch, it was tantamount to severing the Shen Family’s Main Lineage.

"Kill him!" Shen Songshan could no longer maintain his composure and bellowed with rage.

Seeing Shen Qilin charging at him, Ye Xiu felt the urge to retreat. It wasn’t out of fear—with his strength, felling Shen Songshan wouldn’t even require a second blow. But for now, he didn’t want to reveal his true power.

But how could he withdraw in a way that seemed normal?

Just then, a loud commotion erupted from downstairs.

"This... this is..." Shen Songshan’s face went pale as he turned to look, crying out in alarm.

Shen Qilin, who had been rushing toward Ye Xiu, also skidded to a halt and looked down, his expression equally aghast.

Ye Xiu was momentarily stunned.

A heaven-sent opportunity! Run!

But before he fled, he glanced downstairs and was shocked by what he saw. Among the Shen and Lian Family martial artists who were frantically fighting in the courtyard, a black-clothed, masked figure had somehow infiltrated their midst. Judging by the exquisite curves, it was a woman.

What shocked Ye Xiu was that after slaughtering a number of people, the black-clothed figure killed Lian Haidong with a single palm strike, seized the Dragon Sparrow Sword, and fled.

Who was that? Ye Xiu was astounded. To kill Lian Haidong so easily, it was obvious the black-clothed, masked person had already broken through the limits of the human body, her strength surpassing that of a War God.

Pursue!

Taking advantage of the Shen Family’s distraction, Ye Xiu leaped from the other side of the rooftop.

The 45th floor!

He jumped straight down. Had any of the Shen Family members seen it, they might have died of fright. From such a height, even a War God would be gravely injured, if not killed on impact.

However, after Ye Xiu landed, he vanished in a few flickers, completely unharmed.

"Huh? Where did he go?" someone finally noticed Ye Xiu was gone.

Instantly, all the Shen Family members turned in unison to look where Ye Xiu had been standing. He was nowhere to be seen.

"He escaped! Go after him, we must kill him! I’ll pursue that black-clothed, masked person," Shen Songshan commanded anxiously.

He glanced downstairs and, after mustering his courage several times, ultimately didn’t dare to jump. His only option was to take the elevator down.

"Haha, this was a huge win!" the black-clothed, masked person laughed with wild abandon after escaping the Shen Family compound, the Dragon Sparrow Sword in hand.

If Ye Xiu had heard her voice, he would have known who she was.

Ming Yue.

After fleeing Jin Ye City, Ming Yue had slipped into Qingfeng Road, taking precautions to avoid being found by Ye Xiu’s intelligence network. She had cut her long hair short and used a tanning agent to darken her milky-white skin. That, combined with makeup—one of the Four Great Evil Techniques—and a complete change in her aura after practicing an Evil Technique, made her difficult to recognize at first glance, even for Ye Xiu.

"Don’t run!" a loud shout came from behind her.

Ming Yue glanced back and saw a withered, hunched old man chasing her. It was none other than the Poison King. She immediately decided to kill him.

However, at that moment, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure closing in at an unbelievable speed.

Ye Xiu? What is he doing on Qingfeng Road?

Ming Yue quickly unleashed a forbidden Evil Technique and fled at full speed. Even with strength that now surpassed a War God, she still felt a fear of Ye Xiu that was bone-deep.

"What the..." Ye Xiu watched, startled, as Ming Yue sped away, disappearing from his sight in an instant.

He was stunned. Since his debut, she was the first person besides the Blood Demon to have ever escaped from him.

The Poison King was shocked to see Ming Yue vanish in the blink of an eye. He secretly congratulated himself for not catching up; if he had, he’d likely be a dead man. He turned to leave, only to come face-to-face with Ye Xiu running toward him.

He scoffed, "Kid, you’re really out of luck, running into me."

SMACK!

Ye Xiu rushed forward and slapped the Poison King across the face.

"You son of a—"

The Poison King passed out. Before fainting, he experienced the greatest shock of his life. He hadn’t seen how Ye Xiu had gotten in front of him, nor had he seen the trajectory of Ye Xiu’s arm as it slapped him.

What did this mean? It meant Ye Xiu was stronger than him, much stronger!

"You’re the unlucky one for running into me," Ye Xiu said, hoisting the Poison King over his shoulder and disappearing in a flash.

By the time Shen Qilin and Shen Songshan gave chase, there was no trace of Ye Xiu, Ming Yue, or the Poison King.

"Dad, who was that black-clothed, masked person? Her strength seems to be on par with ours, surpassing that of a War God," Shen Qilin said, horrified.

"I don’t know how strong she is, but she’s definitely faster than me," Shen Songshan said, his eyes narrowed. "However, I’m surprised that kid managed to escape. I think he must be hiding somewhere. With his Great Grandmaster strength, he couldn’t possibly be faster than us."

"Should I have our men search the area?" Shen Qilin asked.

"Yes," Shen Songshan nodded, feeling incredibly vexed.

He had wanted to form an alliance with the Lian Family through marriage, only for them to try and exterminate the Shen Family. He had wanted to take Lian Haidong’s sword, only for the black-clothed, masked person to snatch it away. He had wanted to kill Ye Xiu, only for him to vanish.

Shen Songshan instinctively felt that something was wrong. How had the situation on Qingfeng Road gotten so off track?

...

Ye Xiu brought the Poison King to a villa, the residence of his subordinate in charge of Qingfeng Road.

"Who... who are you, exactly?" the Poison King asked, waking up and looking at Ye Xiu in terror.

"Haven’t you already guessed?" Ye Xiu asked with a cold smile.

The Poison King fell to his knees with a thud and slammed his forehead on the ground. "Huang Quan, please spare my life!"

He wasn’t stupid. With his strength, he could easily rank in the top 100 in a War God ranking tournament. Yet Ye Xiu had effortlessly knocked him unconscious with a single slap.

In this world, apart from Huang Quan, no one else possessed such terrifying strength.

The Poison King was petrified.
