Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 701: Chapter 700 Escape

The final thunderbolt descended, Liao Yuxuan’s body was finally free from the swirling wind.

But instead of retreating, Liao Yuxuan advanced, transforming into a Shadow Phantom and rushing towards Su Yang, his palm striking out fiercely towards Su Yang’s chest.

In his opinion, Su Yang was already at his last gasp, and this strike would certainly be effective.

Su Yang countered with a strike of his own hand, and as their palms collided, Liao Yuxuan instantly realized his mistake. Su Yang’s strength had not diminished in the slightest; in fact, it was so great that it made him feel terrified.

After exchanging a palm strike, Liao Yuxuan was forced back two steps. Su Yang swiftly stepped forward and struck out with another palm.

Liao Yuxuan scrambled to block, but it was too late for him to gather his strength, and he was sent stumbling back several steps by Su Yang’s strike, his blood and qi roiling inside him. Before he could regain his footing, Su Yang’s third palm strike was already on its way.

Panic surged in Liao Yuxuan’s heart, as he no longer had time to defend.

Fortunately, from a distance, Gongye Liang noticed that the situation was amiss and rushed over. With a wave of his right hand, a beam of light enveloped Su Yang, the same beam of light that had covered Yue Qianfeng before.

In the previous battle between Gongye Liang and Yue Qianfeng, it was Gongye Liang who had intervened from behind, giving assistance to Gongye Xuan and ultimately defeating Yue Qianfeng.

This time, the same technique was used on Su Yang, but Su Yang was not Yue Qianfeng.

The light enveloping Su Yang was like the pressure of ten thousand pounds bearing down on him, causing his speed to slow down somewhat. Nonetheless, Su Yang was still able to move forward, his palm strike still aiming for Liao Yuxuan.

However, the reduced speed of Su Yang’s strike gave Liao Yuxuan a chance to catch his breath. Unable to dodge, he could only gather some strength to meet Su Yang’s palm with all his might.

As their palms clashed, Liao Yuxuan was sent flying backwards, tumbling through the air like a broken kite, landing on the ground with staggering force, coughing up several mouthfuls of fresh blood, now badly injured.

However, the fact that he could escape with his life from Su Yang’s hands was already no small feat. Had Gongye Liang not lent his help just now, Liao Yuxuan might not have had any hope of survival.

Seeing that Su Yang was still able to move within the light, Gongye Liang’s expression turned desperate. Without a moment’s hesitation, he rushed over, grabbed Liao Yuxuan, and turned toward the mountains behind them.

Gongye Liang had not run far when the light around Su Yang shattered. Su Yang soared into the sky and rapidly followed them into the mountains.

Gongye Liang, seeing Su Yang appear, became even paler. He ran as if his life depended on it, dragging Liao Yuxuan along in a frenzied sprint, and just as Su Yang was about to catch up, they arrived at a cave entrance.

The two dove into the cave, with Su Yang hot on their heels. However, upon entering, Su Yang discovered that the cave was completely empty.

The cave was only five or six meters deep, with no side passages, yet now it was utterly abandoned, with no sign of Gongye Liang and Liao Yuxuan.

Su Yang was astonished. He had watched the two men enter, and the cave still bore the remnants of their power, so how could they have vanished?

He searched the area, then flew back out into the sky, observing his surroundings carefully. Yet, in the short span of time, he could neither sense Gongye Liang nor Liao Yuxuan; the two men had seemingly disappeared into thin air.

After a long search that yielded no discovery, Su Yang eventually gave up. Though he was unclear about the method they had used, it was obvious that the two had escaped far away.

It seems that, just like before in Nanluo City, this Three-faced God Monarch must be hiding some great secret. His escape this time might have also involved some secret method.

Back in the hall, the place was already in an uproar.

The most clamorous were the relatives of the four patients who had not yet received treatment, placing their hopes on the Medical Saint Sect.

When Su Yang ordered them to kneel and slap themselves, they stubbornly resisted, putting their hopes on the Medical Saint Sect.

After all, the Medical Saint Sect had proposed a treatment; they were prepared for the Medical Saint Sect to kill Su Yang and then treat them afterward.

But now, with the Medical Saint Sect’s tragic defeat, Gongye Xuan was dead, and both Liao Yuxuan and Gongye Liang had fled, the Medical Saint Sect was essentially finished.

At this moment, they finally panicked. So, taking advantage of Su Yang’s pursuit of the fugitives, they quickly sought out members of the Medical Saint Sect, hoping that they would treat their sick as soon as possible.

However, the people of the Medical Saint Sect were now in disarray themselves, with no inclination to attend to their affairs.

Many from the Medical Saint Sect wanted to flee but were blocked by the Divine Farmer Sect and those from the other sects. Those who had previously pledged allegiance to the Medical Saint Sect all switched to the Divine Farmer Sect now, and the Medical Saint Sect was completely isolated. In the blink of an eye, people nearly started fighting.

When Su Yang returned to the hall, the clamor immediately ceased, and everyone turned their heads toward him, their faces filled with shock.

His heavenly medical skills, his formidable strength—everything Su Yang had demonstrated had completely won over everyone’s admiration and respect.

Those who had previously been full of mockery towards Su Yang were now extremely anxious and remorseful. If they had known that Su Yang possessed such capabilities and medical skills, they would never have dared to mock him, and it would be too late even to grovel at his feet.

The only ones excited at the scene were the members of the Divine Farmer Sect, along with those sects that had always stood by the Divine Farmer Sect. Because Su Yang was invited by the Divine Farmer Sect, his victory meant their gain as well.

”Master Su!” Elder Jeang approached excitedly, ”Congratulations to Master Su for becoming the leader of the Divine Physicians Alliance!”

The other people came to their senses and came forward to offer their congratulations. Even those who had always supported the Medical Saint Sect began to congratulate him. Indeed, many from the Medical Saint Sect also started to offer their felicitations.

They could see clearly that with Gongye Xuan dead and Gongye Liang gone, the Medical Saint Sect had undergone a complete change of leadership.

With Su Yang’s capabilities, was it even necessary to discuss what would happen next? It was best to rush over and join forces now while it might still be possible, otherwise clinging stubbornly to the past would only lead to a dead end.

In truth, Su Yang didn’t feel much for this Divine Physicians Alliance; his medical expertise far surpassed anyone present.

But then again, he thought, although these sects had only mediocre medical skills, they did control most of the precious medicinal materials in Huaxia Country, and many miraculous herbs could only be found by them.

The materials Su Yang needed for his alchemy could possibly be obtained from these people, which could indeed be meaningful.

”Thank you, everyone!” Su Yang clasped his hands with a faint smile and declared, ”Since you all show me such favor, I will no longer refuse. However, my Divine Physicians Alliance is a different matter from the Medical Saint Sect’s alliance.”

The crowd was taken aback. Was Su Yang about to propose some new rules? But would his rules be even more unreasonable?
