Medical and Martial God

Chapter 278: Need Evidence?

Ye Xiu was amused by Xu Tingbai’s words and said, "Brother Xu, no offense, but you truly cannot defeat Shen Qilin."

Divine Doctor Ye is calling me Brother Xu?

Xu Tingbai was immediately elated. "Shen Qilin is just a senile old man. Crushing him is as easy as crushing an ant."

"Shen Qilin is also a Martial Artist, and his strength has long surpassed that of a War God," Ye Xiu said.

At these words, Shen Qilin was greatly shocked. He wasn’t surprised that Ye Xiu knew he was a Martial Artist, since Shen Shihao had already revealed his War God-level strength atop Building 15 of the Shen Family’s compound. What shocked him was that Ye Xiu somehow knew his strength surpassed that of a War God.

This was simply inconceivable!

"Divine Doctor Ye, you must be joking. It’s common knowledge that only Huang Quan possesses strength greater than a War God. Besides, I’ve known Shen Qilin since we were children, and he’s no Martial Artist," Xu Tingbai said with a laugh.

"Divine Doctor Ye, Shen Qilin is indeed not a Martial Artist," Bao Longtu added.

Ye Xiu picked up a chopstick and flung it at Shen Qilin with incredible speed.

Shen Qilin reflexively caught it.

"See that?" Ye Xiu asked with a smile.

Bao Longtu and Xu Tingbai were dumbfounded. Xu Tingbai, in particular, could appreciate the speed of the throw; even a Sixth Grade Martial Artist might have failed to catch it, yet Shen Qilin had done so effortlessly.

Clearly, Shen Qilin was not only a Martial Artist but a high-level one at that.

"Divine Doctor Ye, you just said Shen Qilin’s strength is above that of a War God. Is that true?" Xu Tingbai asked.

"Mm," Ye Xiu nodded.

Xu Tingbai and Bao Longtu were horrified. They never imagined that besides Huang Quan, there was another expert in the world with strength surpassing that of a War God.

"How did you know my strength was above that of a War God?" Shen Qilin asked, suppressing the urge to kill Ye Xiu. He was overcome with curiosity.

"I know far more than you can possibly imagine." Ye Xiu sneered. "I not only know that your strength surpasses that of a War God, but I also know that Shen Songshan is even stronger than you. Furthermore, I know that the Shen Family is a member of the Long Family Alliance, and Shen Songshan is Long Jiu."

"This..." Shen Qilin’s face changed drastically as he shot to his feet. "You, you, you... who told you these things?"

This is unbelievable!

The secret—that the Shen Family was a member of the Long Family Alliance—was known only to one outsider: the Dragon Master. And yet, Ye Xiu knew.

"I investigated, of course," Ye Xiu replied. "No secret can be kept forever. Anything can be uncovered with enough digging."

"Why did you investigate the Shen Family?" Shen Qilin demanded.

"Do you really not know?" Ye Xiu countered.

"Nonsense! If I knew, why would I ask you?" Shen Qilin feigned ignorance.

"Fine, then I’ll tell you," Ye Xiu said. "Ten years ago, the true mastermind behind framing me was the Long Family. To be precise, the Dragon Master ordered the Shen Family to act.

"Worried about being exposed, the Shen Family chose Zheng Yiwen as a puppet to handle the plot against me.

"But it was the Shen Family who personally orchestrated the destruction of the Kong Family’s fortune, sent people to rape my aunt, and lured my uncle into committing murder, leading to his imprisonment."

Ye Xiu had always believed the Ye Family was responsible for ruining the Kong Family’s fortune. That was, until You Ming hacked into Shen Songshan’s computer and stole all his data. It was only after reading Shen Songshan’s diary that Ye Xiu realized many things were not as his investigation had led him to believe. For instance, it was the Shen Family that destroyed the Kong Family’s fortune, not the Ye Family.

"Now do you understand why I came to Qingfeng Road and why I’m targeting the Shen Family?" Ye Xiu asked, his voice cold.

"You..." Shen Qilin looked as if he had been struck by lightning. "How did you find all this out?"

"That’s not what you should be worried about. You should be worried about how you’re going to face the fury of my revenge," Ye Xiu said coldly.

"Hah..." Shen Qilin scoffed. "Since you know I possess strength surpassing a War God, you should also know that killing you would be child’s play for me."

"You don’t dare kill me," Ye Xiu stated. "During the War God assessment, Gaelin suddenly went berserk and was finally subdued by Huang Quan. If Huang Quan were to find out that the poison Gaelin ingested is called the ’Blood Pill,’ and that Shen Songshan had Xiong Ba feed it to him... do you think Huang Quan would hesitate to slaughter the entire Shen Family?"

Ye Xiu wanted to play the Shen Family to their doom. He couldn’t reveal his true strength or his identity as Huang Quan, otherwise they would be scared to death. Where would the fun be then? By revealing the existence of the Blood Pill, he ensured that Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin would live in constant fear of being exterminated by Huang Quan at any moment. This was exactly what Ye Xiu wanted to see.

"You... you, you, you’re talking nonsense!" Shen Qilin panicked, trying to defend himself. "I... I don’t know anything about a Blood Pill! You’re framing the Shen Family!"

"Does Huang Quan need evidence to kill someone?" Ye Xiu asked with a chilling smile. "Besides, once this information gets out, he will personally visit the Shen Family to extract the truth. He has plenty of ways to make you and Shen Songshan talk."

Shen Qilin began to tremble with fear. Although both he and Shen Songshan possessed strength surpassing a War God, the Dragon Master himself had said that even if all the Martial Artists of the Long Family Alliance joined forces, they would be no match for Huang Quan.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Shen Qilin. He said coldly, "I’ll just kill you now, and Huang Quan will never know about the Blood Pill."

"Killing me is useless," Ye Xiu said. "If I die, the whole world will know about the Blood Pill within twenty-four hours."

Shen Qilin no longer dared to kill Ye Xiu. He suddenly realized that Ye Xiu’s willingness to sit here and talk to him came from a place of absolute confidence; he was fully prepared.

"We’re about to eat. You should go home and tremble with Shen Songshan," Ye Xiu said, dismissing him.

"Hmph!" Shen Qilin snorted and hurried off. Even if Ye Xiu hadn’t dismissed him, he would have rushed home to discuss a counter-strategy with Shen Songshan.

"Alright, let’s eat," Ye Xiu said, picking up his chopsticks. He called out, "Niannian, Longtu, come and sit."

Bao Longtu, Xu Tingbai, and Bao Niannian looked at one another, stunned. A decade ago, Xuanse, the Medicine King, had dedicated himself to saving lives. They were shocked to discover that after being forced overseas and returning ten years later, he had become so resourceful, decisive, and unfathomable.

They suddenly felt a little afraid of Ye Xiu.

Shen Qilin did not return to the Shen Family. Instead, he called Shen Songshan and went to the Hongtai Nonwoven Fabric Factory.

He had just arrived when Shen Songshan also appeared.

When the two of them saw the dead man known as ’Big Teapot’ in the office building, along with all the unconscious people, their expressions turned grim.

"Their Martial Prowess has been completely crippled!" Shen Songshan nearly coughed up blood from the anguish after checking them over. "I spent so much effort and countless money to train this group of Martial Artists and Gunners. Now, not a single one is left. They’re all gone."

He turned and roared at Shen Qilin, "What in the world happened here? Who did this?"

Shen Qilin recounted everything Ye Xiu had said.

After hearing the story, Shen Songshan shuddered and collapsed to the floor, utterly panicked.
