Medical Sage

Then Hu Jiang, with a presence as fierce as a small mountain, stood in front of the Eight Great Iron Guards. His gaze was extremely cold, demon qi surging violently and terrifyingly. In his hand, unbeknownst to everyone, was an octagonal bronze hammer exuding the power of a Mid-Grade Magical Artifact, his eyes locked firmly on Iron One.

”Green Fright, are you lot of four-legged pests tired of living and seeking death?” Hu Jiang said icily, with a murderous intent. Although the combined combat power of the Eight Great Iron Guards might indeed rival that of Hu Jiang and his brother, the question was,

what were the statuses of Hu Jiang and his brother, compared to those four-legged pests that dared to provoke them, challenging their authority?

”Hmph!”

Upon hearing this, Green Fright, or rather, Iron One, snorted coldly. In the past, he would have retorted harshly, but now... they quietly returned to stand behind Chen Fei, saying nothing, though their eyes remained fixed on Luo Quan and the Hu Jiang and Hu Shan brothers.

It was as if they were prepared to fight to the death if anyone dared to lay a hand on Chen Fei, their master! Upon witnessing this, everyone present, whether from the Golden Toad Cave or with Luo Quan, felt their expressions change.

Since now it was obvious that the Eight Great Iron Guards were centered around a young man they had previously ignored and deemed insignificant!

And the reason Hu Shan was injured by the sudden attack of the Eight Great Iron Guards seemed to be that he attempted to move against Chen Fei!

Realizing this, everyone present could not help but change their expressions once again!

For, what status and level did the Eight Great Iron Guards of the Golden Toad Cave hold!? Their combined combat power could at least rival that of a Peak Qi Refining Eighth Layer expert. Even Zang Rui and even Mon Yi, despite being the deputy cave masters of the Golden Toad Cave, might not be superior.

This was evident from the moment when the notorious Hu Shan of the Red Lion Cave was injured instantly by the Eight Great Iron Guards. But now?

Yet now they stood so humbly and respectfully behind a young man as if they were his attendants, servants... even slaves—what was going on here!?

This situation was as absurd and laughable as a billionaire, a deputy mayor on Earth, becoming some young worker’s house servant!

However, if such a thing did happen, would it be laughable?

The shock and horror on everyone’s face in the scene proved that it was anything but laughable.

On the contrary, it instilled a visceral shock and a sense of disbelief.

Seeing this situation, even Luo Quan, one of the Peak Qi Refining Eighth Layer guardians of the Red Lion Cave, showed a constantly changing expression before finally raising his head, gesturing towards Chen Fei with a false polite smile, saying: ”I am Luo Quan, one of the four guardians of the Red Lion Cave, how may I address you... and what is your connection with the King of Gilded Toads?”

”King of Gilded Toads? I have no relation with him.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei smiled slightly, and then, with a cold dismissal, said: ”However, the Golden Toad Cave currently does not welcome you, so please leave.” With these words, the false polite expression on Luo Quan’s face instantly turned into a deep chill and cruelty.

Evidently, he hadn’t expected that despite lowering his status and demeanor, this young cur would still dare brazenly act arrogant, saying they were unwelcome? Asking them to leave!?

Instantly, a cold, sinister gleam appeared in the depths of Luo Quan’s aged eyes. The Eight Great Iron Guards might be troublesome, but they were not without means to handle them.

”Hehe, good, very good. Since I became a guardian of the Red Lion Cave, you are the first to dare speak to me like this and even dared to crush the longevity jade post representing our Red Lion Cave Master, the Red Lion Daoist?” Luo Quan’s tone was sinister, his gaze sharp as a blade, fixated on Chen Fei.

”And you see it now, don’t you?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, said calmly, raising a hand to indicate five fingers, ”Now, you have five seconds to get out of here, otherwise, I’ll take action myself!”

”What did you say? You’ll take action yourself? Haha, hahaha...”

Upon hearing this, Luo Quan, the guardian from the Red Lion Cave, was first stunned, then laughed uproariously as if he’d heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, his face shaking with thunderous laughter.

Even the experts in the Golden Toad Cave couldn’t help but look at Chen Fei with peculiar expressions, as if they were looking at an idiot, confused at the absurdity of his words.

How could he say something so ludicrous, so laughable?

Didn’t he know that even Luo Quan, the guardian of the Red Lion Cave, was not much weaker than their Golden Toad Cave Master, the King of Gilded Toads, let alone together with Hu Shan and Hu Jiang? Even if their cave master personally arrived, they might not be able to handle them!

So, on what basis did this kid have the audacity to say such things?

Daydreaming, or was he dreaming?

”Five!” But at this moment, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, had already extended his hand, beginning to count.

Hearing this, everyone present paused. Luo Quan’s old face immediately turned to a mocking expression, standing still, quietly watching Chen Fei, listening to him count.

He was curious to see what this kid would do after counting down, how he planned to end this! Haha, hahaha… truly a fool who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

”Four.”

”Three.”

”Two.”

Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, remained expressionless, with just a faint smile at the corner of his mouth as he kept counting. Finally, he quietly uttered the word ”one.”

”Finished counting? Then it’s our turn, isn’t it? Boy, don’t say we’re bullying the weak. I’ll give you a count of five. Within those five counts, crawl under my crotch, then kneel and knock your head on the ground thirty-six times. I’ll be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones. Otherwise...”

As Chen Fei finished counting, Luo Quan, full of extreme mockery, looked at him and spoke slowly. He added, ”Otherwise, I don’t think there’s a need for something as stupid as you to exist, do you?”

”Why waste so many words on this little bastard? Just kill him.” At this moment, Hu Jiang, the older of the Hu brothers, seemed to lose patience, his voice full of killing intent and a surge of demon qi, and he suddenly made a move.

Boom!

As the last word left his mouth, the octagonal bronze hammer in his hand emitted a terrifying aura, with demon light swirling and momentum soaring, capable of crushing everything in its path!

The terrifying and astonishing power seemed capable of ripping a person apart or reducing them to nothing and ash.

Then, with a single step, Hu Jiang’s imposing two-meter-tall figure appeared fiercely before Chen Fei, swinging the bronze hammers, each capable of smashing small mountains, straight toward Chen Fei’s head.

Earlier, his brother had been injured by the Eight Great Iron Guards while trying to attack Chen Fei, catching him off guard. Now, Hu Jiang wanted to see what means those eight stinking insects could use against him!

Humph!

Overestimating yourself, looking for death!

”Heh heh...” But at this moment, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, chuckled softly, and at the same time, a fleeting black light containing terrifying energy appeared in his palm—it was the black broken arrowhead from the King of Gilded Toads.

”Hu Jiang, be careful.” Sensing the terrifying sinister aura of the black broken arrowhead, Luo Quan was the first to react, his face changing instantly as he shouted aloud.

”Careful!? Hu Jiang naturally didn’t understand, and even if he understood now, it was already too late.

”Hiss!”

”What is this!?”

The next moment, his face suddenly changed, as he felt an extraordinarily terrifying chill explode from directly in front of him, sweeping outward. Then a streak of black light pierced through, striking the octagonal bronze hammer he was desperately using to block.

Then, an ear-piercing cracking sound rang out! The Mid-Grade Magical Artifact-level octagonal bronze hammer instantly shattered, falling in chunks to the ground.

”Puchi!” Then Hu Jiang, in almost the exact manner as his brother, was blasted on the chest by the black broken arrowhead. Flesh exploded, blood splattered, and his entire body was hurled through the air.

Not only that, Hu Jiang now had a fist-sized, pitch-black bloody hole in his chest, emitting a foul corpse-like stench, fiercely hitting a wall nearby and passing out.

Wow!

Everyone present was completely stunned, their faces frozen, before collectively bursting into an uproar.

Who was Hu Jiang? He was the infamous leader of the Hu brothers from Red Lion Cave. In terms of real combat power, even someone at the peak of Qi Refining Eighth Layer like Luo Quan might have difficulty dealing with him. But now?

Now such a formidable individual, a Second Stage Middle Period demon beast with the royal tiger as its original form, was heavily injured into unconsciousness with a single blow by a young man who seemed only in his twenties or thirties. What did this mean!?

Did it mean that guy’s power had already far surpassed Hu Jiang’s? Otherwise, how could he achieve such a feat, rendering him unconscious in one strike!?

And this, this situation seemed far too unreal, making everyone feel as if it were a dream.

As a result, when they looked at Chen Fei again, their eyes were filled with shock, dread, and disbelief as they trembled.

”Hiss, isn’t that that thing?” Concurrently, Mon Yi, the only one with a different focus from the others present, was staring intently at the black broken arrowhead in Chen Fei’s hand, his eyes filled with absurdity and disbelief.

Of course, he recognized what that black broken arrowhead was. It was the mysterious and immensely powerful weapon that their Cave Master, the King of Gilded Toads, had recently excavated from an ancient grave in a Secret Realm and treasured as a matchless gem! But now?

But why was this thing now in Chen Fei’s hands!?

Upon realizing this, Mon Yi’s face changed again, and then his gaze involuntarily swept over the Eight Great Iron Guards and other demons standing behind Chen Fei, like servants or even lackeys.

An indescribable absurd guess and terrifying thought then took root unbelievably fast, like seeds of evil, growing uncontrollably...
