Medical and Martial God

Chapter 275 You Know Too Much

"This... this is impossible!"

Big Teapot stared at Ye Xiu as if he had seen a ghost. So this kid wasn’t just arrogant, he was genuinely, terrifyingly strong! That was a strike with my full speed and power, yet he casually caught it between two fingers?

Shen Sijun and the five Great Grandmasters were also dumbfounded. A dream! This must be a dream! There’s no way something like this could happen in reality!

"I gave you a chance. You’re the one who failed to take it," Ye Xiu said coldly, hooking the two fingers that held the tip of the blade. Big Teapot felt an incredible force yank him in front of Ye Xiu. Then, Ye Xiu released the blade and grabbed his neck.

"I won’t just sit here and wait to die!"

Although Ye Xiu had him by the neck, his long blade was now free. Big Teapot swung it horizontally at Ye Xiu’s waist, intending to slice him in half.

However, the blade had barely traveled halfway when a series of dragon roars echoed from within Ye Xiu’s body. Big Teapot suddenly felt all his strength drain away. His Martial Prowess surged uncontrollably toward his neck, where it was being absorbed by the hand Ye Xiu had clamped on him.

"This... What kind of Kung Fu is this?" Big Teapot cried out in horror. Ye Xiu had actually mastered a technique that could absorb another person’s Martial Prowess!

"Does a piece of trash like you need to know so much?" Ye Xiu said icily. He had extracted the essence of the Nameless Evil Skill that Mutou Bingyuan passed to Ming Yue and created a small technique designed specifically to absorb the Martial Prowess of others. He named it... Beiming Dragon Swallow. This move had no side effects.

"Big Teapot! Big Teapot, what’s wrong with you?" Shen Sijun and the five Great Grandmasters finally snapped back to reality, realizing they weren’t dreaming.

Shen Sijun yelled, "Big Teapot, you’re a War God! Ranked 78th on the War God Ranking! Have you given up on living? Fight back! Kill him! Kill him!"

Fight back?

Big Teapot was already filled with despair. Ye Xiu was too strong—so overwhelmingly strong that he, ranked 78th on the War God Ranking, was completely powerless in his hands.

"What are you five waiting for? Hurry and save Big Teapot!" Shen Sijun shrieked in panic when Big Teapot didn’t respond.

The five Great Grandmasters didn’t move. Even the War God, Big Teapot, was no match for Ye Xiu. If the five of them charged in, it would be a suicide mission.

"Brat, let Big Teapot go, or I’ll kill Bao Niannian and her son," the Great Grandmaster bodyguard, who had been watching them, suddenly drew his blade and took Bao Niannian hostage, grabbing her son’s head with his other hand.

At this, Shen Sijun and the other four Great Grandmasters were ecstatic. With Bao Niannian and her son as hostages, Ye Xiu would surely be forced to surrender. Even Big Teapot felt a flicker of hope rekindle within him.

"Are you in that much of a hurry to die?" Ye Xiu turned his head, his cold gaze fixed on the Great Grandmaster. "Let them go, and I’ll spare your life."

"You let Big Teapot go, and I’ll spare theirs," the Great Grandmaster retorted, feeling fearless now that he had leverage.

"You’re courting death!" Enraged, Ye Xiu flicked his Sword Finger. A burst of energy shot out, striking the Great Grandmaster holding the hostages right between the eyes.

"This..." The Great Grandmaster’s eyes flew wide open. Filled with disbelief and unwilling despair, he slumped lifelessly to the ground.

HISS!

Shen Sijun and the other four Great Grandmasters sucked in a cold breath of shock. To kill a Great Grandmaster instantly from a distance? Not even a War God could do that!

"I know who you are! I know who you are! You’re..." Big Teapot suddenly shrieked, his face a mask of terror. Just as he was about to scream the name ’Huang Quan’...

"I didn’t want to kill you, but unfortunately, you know too much." With a sharp twist, Ye Xiu snapped Big Teapot’s neck. The identity of Huang Quan couldn’t be exposed yet. Otherwise, if the entire Shen Family was scared witless, what fun would be left?

Big Teapot collapsed limply to the ground. In the final second before he lost consciousness, he was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that this man was Huang Quan, he would have taken the chance Huang Quan had offered him. What a pity. It’s too late for everything.

"This..." Seeing Ye Xiu kill Big Teapot so easily, Shen Sijun and the four remaining Great Grandmasters panicked. The four of them acted almost in unison, turning tail to flee.

"Thinking of running now? A little late for that!" Ye Xiu caught up to the four in an instant. A moment later, their Martial Prowess was crippled, and they fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Ah!" Shen Sijun let out a terrified scream and collapsed, soiling himself as he sat on the ground.

"What were you saying earlier? That I wouldn’t dare to kill you?" Ye Xiu asked, staring down at him coldly.

"Ah..." Shen Sijun howled in fear and scrambled to his knees, kowtowing frantically. "No, no, please don’t kill me! I beg you, spare my miserable life! Please, I beg you!"

At this moment, Shen Sijun was filled with bitter regret. He didn’t regret trying to seize the Main Lineage or trying to kill Ye Xiu; he regretted ever messing with Bao Niannian. If he hadn’t targeted her, if he hadn’t tried to make her strip in front of Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu definitely wouldn’t have killed him. At most, he would have been humiliated like he was that morning.

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

"Trash like you isn’t worthy of dying by my hand," Ye Xiu said, busying his hands around Shen Sijun’s head. "Go have fun at the mental asylum."

Bao Niannian and her son then watched as Shen Sijun stood up with a cheerful, goofy grin on his face.

"What happened to him?" Bao Niannian asked, curious.

"A doctor doesn’t just know how to save people," Ye Xiu said. "I’m sorry. You were dragged into this because of me," he added apologetically, his hand gently touching her face.

"No... it’s okay. I... I don’t blame you..." Feeling Ye Xiu’s intimate touch, Bao Niannian’s face flushed crimson. She lowered her head and mumbled shyly.

The next moment, she suddenly felt his hand grow warm, and the pain all over her body began to fade away. She lifted her arm and saw that the bruises there had vanished completely.

She gasped in amazement, "You... your Medical Skills are incredible!"

"What’s the use of having good Medical Skills?" Ye Xiu said with a sad, bitter smile. "Once, I naively wanted nothing more than to be a doctor, to save the dying and heal the injured. Now, I’ve been forced to become a butcher."

Hearing him say this, Bao Niannian’s heart ached for reasons she couldn’t explain. Suddenly, the corpses on the ground and the memory of Ye Xiu’s killing spree no longer seemed so terrifying.

She comforted him, "Don’t punish yourself for the mistakes of others. Keep kindness in your heart. If you define yourself as a butcher because of the ones who framed you, they will delight in having succeeded in transforming you."

Hearing Bao Niannian’s words, Ye Xiu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Because of what happened ten years ago, I’ve been unwilling to be a doctor, focusing only on revenge. Thinking about it now, it seems I’ve completely lost sight of what’s important. Why should I change my original path because of what others did wrong?

"Thank you," Ye Xiu said gratefully. "If it weren’t for your words, I might have never woken up from this in my entire life. From now on, I am a doctor!"
