Peerless Medical Emperor

”Chen Qingdi, get the hell out here! You dared to kill my precious son! I, Zhao Tianhai, swear I will kill you!”

”That’s right! The Four Great Clans rise and fall together. Since you laid a hand on a member of the Zhao Family, you will pay the price!”

The patriarchs of the Four Great Clans were clamoring right outside the clinic’s entrance.

Behind them, they had brought a large contingent of people—the underworld forces controlled by the Four Great Clans, numbering almost five hundred!

Such a staggering number of people... other than the Four Great Clans, probably no one else in all of Jinghai could assemble such a force!

The Zhao Family was at the head of the Four Great Clans, because Zhao Tianhao had been killed by Chen Qingdi!

Consequently, the Zhao Family brought more people, and they did not lack powerful Martial Artists.

Two Martial Arts Masters stood by Zhao Tianhai’s side, protecting him, serving as his enforcers and bodyguards.

”Kid, I’ll give you two choices. First, pay with your life for my precious son. Second, hand over the Five Emperors Medical Scripture. It’s a waste for such a heaven-defying treasure to be in your possession. You might as well give it to us!”

Zhao Tianhai, the man in the lead, pointed at Chen Qingdi and spoke.

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi snorted in derision. In his eyes, the Four Great Clans claimed to be seeking retribution, but they actually had ulterior motives.

These guys just wanted his Five Emperors Medical Scripture, yet they had to put on such a righteous front. It was utterly disgusting!

The next second, Chen Qingdi walked straight out of the clinic and addressed the crowd. ”Heh, what makes you lot think you’re qualified to seek revenge on me?”

”Who gave you the courage to come straight to my doorstep?”

An extremely powerful force erupted from Chen Qingdi, pressing down on the crowd.

Everyone present instantly felt an incredibly dense killing intent sweep over them, making them all feel uneasy.

It was less uneasiness and more of a bone-deep chill, the feeling of being targeted by a ferocious beast from which there is no escape.

Seeing that the members of the other Great Clans were intimidated, Zhao Tianhai immediately bellowed at the top of his lungs.

”Don’t let this kid fool you! He’s just one person! There are so many of us, are we really afraid of him?”

Hearing Zhao Tianhai’s words, the expressions of the patriarchs present changed, and their gazes toward Chen Qingdi immediately turned vicious.

Because what Zhao Tianhai said did make sense.

There were so many of them, yet Chen Qingdi, a single person, dared to be so arrogant toward them?

’He must have a death wish!’

At this thought, Huang Tianxiong, the Patriarch of the Huang Family, immediately stepped forward, drew a long saber, and pointed it at Chen Qingdi.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan, standing beside Chen Qingdi, had an ashen face, his entire body radiating anger.

’These fools don’t know the meaning of death, daring to speak to the Lord Imperial Physician like that!’

’If the Lord Imperial Physician hadn’t forbidden it, I would’ve gone up and slapped these guys to death long ago.’

”You’re the first person to ever point a blade at me. You’re very brave.”

”But your bravery needs to be matched by your strength. Otherwise, it will only bring you a fatal end!”

Chen Qingdi sneered and immediately gave Chen Yuan a meaningful look.

Seeing that look, Chen Yuan knew instantly that Chen Qingdi was giving him permission to act.

He was already seething with accumulated anger, feeling utterly stifled.

Now that Chen Qingdi had let him loose, he was more excited than anyone!

”Heh, kid, you’re truly shameless with your boasting. The Five Great Clans have a total of ten Martial Arts Masters between us. Do you two really think you can withstand an attack from all ten?”

”Do you really think Martial Arts Masters are as common as cabbages in the market, that you can just disregard them?”

Du Haitian, the Patriarch of the Du Family, suddenly stepped forward and rebuked them.

”That’s right, kid. With ten of our Martial Arts Grandmasters gathered here, if you don’t want to die, you’ll obediently hand over the Medical Scripture. If you do, we might consider leaving you a path to survival.”

”Hahaha, Big Brother is right. You should know, when we Martial Arts Masters strike, we don’t hold back. You wouldn’t want your family to get hurt, would you?”

Just then, another Martial Arts Master spoke to Chen Qingdi on the spot.

At these words, Chen Qingdi’s expression instantly darkened.

’They can come after me, but not the people around me!’

’They are my reverse scale. Anyone who touches it must die!’

Thinking this, Chen Qingdi turned to Chen Yuan and said one word on the spot: ”Kill!”

At Chen Qingdi’s command, Chen Yuan instantly leaped forward.

”How dare you insult the Lord Imperial Physician! You’re courting death!”

Chen Yuan appeared directly in front of that Martial Arts Master. In the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan’s hand shot out and grabbed the man’s neck.

The Martial Arts Master clearly didn’t have time to react before Chen Yuan had him by the neck, lifting him off the ground.

”Urk!”

Once the Martial Arts Master came to his senses, he immediately began to struggle desperately.

After all, with his level of strength, it should have been impossible for someone to just grab him like this.

When a Martial Arts Master moves, their speed is like the wind; an ordinary person can’t even track their movements.

Unless... the opponent’s strength was greater than his own!

Otherwise, even if the opponent were also a Martial Artist, a Martial Arts Master would eventually wear them down and kill them!

But the Chen Yuan before him possessed strength even beyond that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

After following Chen Qingdi for so many years, his strength had long since reached an even more powerful realm!

Dealing with these guys was, in Chen Yuan’s eyes, laughably easy.

If he hadn’t been waiting for Chen Qingdi’s command,

He probably would have just slapped the man to death long ago.

”What are you trying to do?! I’m a Tributor of the Nantang Martial Sect in Jinghai City! If you dare kill me, the Nantang Martial Sect will not let you off!”

The Martial Arts Master immediately began to struggle in terror.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan sneered again, his gaze turning even colder as he looked at the Martial Arts Master before him.

’This old fool probably still doesn’t recognize the position he’s in.’

’How dare he openly threaten me right to my face?’

’Truly courting death!’

The next second, Chen Yuan’s grip tightened, and the Martial Arts Master was instantly overwhelmed by a feeling of suffocation.

”Insolence! Master Luo is a member of the Nantang Martial Sect! If you dare lay a hand on Master Luo, you’ll be making an enemy of the Jinghai City Martial Arts Alliance!”

At that moment, the Patriarch of the Chu Family also stepped forward and berated Chen Yuan.

He knew that the Four Great Clans were like grasshoppers on the same rope—if one clan’s Tributor fell,

it meant that another clan’s combat strength would decline!

This would affect the collective strength of the Four Great Clans, which was not a good thing!
