Peerless Medical Emperor

The one who had arrived was none other than the old patriarch of the Zheng Family, Zheng Qiankun. As the family’s reclusive old powerhouse, he rarely took action personally.

But upon receiving news that his grandson had been humiliated by Chen Qingdi, he had immediately emerged from his seclusion. He then gathered his old subordinates and came straight here to confront the man.

These old subordinates had followed the patriarch since his early days, fighting by his side. Each one possessed the power of a Martial Arts Master, a feat they owed entirely to Zheng Qiankun, who had helped them achieve their breakthroughs.

Otherwise, on their own, they could never have reached the level of a Martial Arts Master.

To them, the old patriarch was like a second father who had given them a new lease on life. As such, they followed his orders with absolute, unquestioning loyalty.

To disobey him in any way would be a betrayal of the great debt they owed him for their training and advancement.

”Big Brother, there’s more to this kid than meets the eye. Why don’t you let me test his strength first?”

One of the Martial Arts Masters spoke to the old patriarch.

Hearing this, the old patriarch glanced at Chen Qingdi before turning back to the speaker. ”Yes, this boy is indeed no simple foe. Old Eighth, you go ahead and probe his strength.”

At these words, the Martial Arts Master struck without hesitation. He didn’t even wait for Chen Qingdi to react, moving with such speed that he was upon him in an instant.

Chen Qingdi’s expression flickered as he saw the attack. He immediately threw a punch of his own, his fist meeting the Martial Arts Master’s in a direct clash.

Seeing his punch blocked, a look of stunned disbelief flashed across the Martial Arts Master’s face.

He never imagined that someone in Jinghai could actually block one of his punches. ’This is truly strange,’ he thought.

After all, this was Jinghai, and he was a Martial Arts Master. He knew for a fact that there weren’t many Martial Arts Masters in all of Jinghai City.

What’s more, every single one of them was a foe he had personally defeated!

In all of Jinghai, apart from his Big Brother, Zheng Qiankun, there was no one whose strength could rival his own.

And yet, this Chen Qingdi was able to fight him to a standstill.

He could tell that Chen Qingdi’s power was anything but ordinary.

If Chen Qingdi had been weaker than him, he wouldn’t have given it a second thought.

But now that Chen Qingdi had revealed his strength, his own competitive spirit was suddenly ignited.

”Hahaha, good, kid! It’s been a long time since I’ve met an opponent like you. I’ve been waiting for a worthy challenger for a long, long time!”

the Martial Arts Master said to Chen Qingdi, his face alight with excitement.

Chen Qingdi, however, was dismissive. ’This Martial Arts Master isn’t even worthy of being my opponent.’

’Still, I am a bit bored. I suppose I can humor him for a little while.’

”Heh, it seems you’re quite confident in your ability to match me. Since you’re so sure of yourself, go on, give it a try!”

Chen Qingdi sneered, extended one hand, and taunted the Martial Arts Master before him. ”You can attack freely, but I will only use one hand. If you can’t take it...”

”Then get lost!”

Chen Qingdi spoke to the Martial Arts Master with extreme arrogance.

Upon hearing this, the Martial Arts Master’s expression instantly twisted with fury.

”Kid, I’d advise you not to be so arrogant. You’re still young. If you make me angry enough to kill you, it’d be such a waste!”

the Martial Arts Master said, flicking his wide sleeves.

However, Chen Qingdi paid him no mind, simply lashing out with a kick.

The Martial Arts Master didn’t even have time to react before Chen Qingdi’s kick sent him sprawling to the ground.

The old Zheng patriarch was stunned speechless when he saw this.

’This Martial Arts Master is one of my most trusted champions, who has followed me for years!’

’To think he’d be defeated by Chen Qingdi in a single exchange!’

It was utterly unbelievable. Even if Chen Qingdi had some skill, it should be impossible to finish a Martial Arts Master in a single round.

’This is simply inconceivable!’

Especially since he had previously ordered an investigation into Chen Qingdi. The report stated that he was nothing more than a recently released prison inmate.

’What is going on here?’

’Could someone have deliberately hidden his true identity?’

At this thought, the old patriarch’s expression shifted. He coughed, summoned a young man, and demanded, ”Didn’t I tell you to investigate Chen Qingdi? Is this what you call an investigation?”

”Didn’t you say he was just an ex-convict? This level of power is nothing like a common prisoner; he’s clearly a Martial Artist! I want an explanation.”

Zheng Qiankun said furiously to the young man beside him.

The young man took a fearful step back, his face pale as he spoke to Zheng Qiankun.

”Patriarch, my initial investigation wasn’t wrong! Who could have guessed that the identity we found for Chen Qingdi was a fake? I never would have expected it either!”

the young man said to Zheng Qiankun, terrified.

Hearing this, Zheng Qiankun became even more furious and slapped the young man squarely across the face.

”Useless trash! I give you one simple task and you can’t even get it right! What good are you?”

Zheng Qiankun cursed.

’This idiot is going to be the death of me.’

With that, Zheng Qiankun took a step forward and addressed Chen Qingdi directly. ”If I’m not mistaken, your strength is likely on par with my own, isn’t it?”

”Heh. A wolf in sheep’s clothing. You play the part quite well.”

”But young man, my Zheng Family’s influence extends throughout all of Jinghai City. By making enemies on all sides like this, are you not afraid of being attacked by everyone at once?”

After Zheng Qiankun finished speaking, Chen Qingdi just shrugged, looking completely unfazed. ”Are you talking about those losers from the Four Great Clans? They don’t seem qualified to pose any threat to me.”

”And your Zheng Family is no different. In my eyes, clans like yours are nothing but a pack of clay chickens and pottery dogs. Not worth a second thought.”

These words struck a nerve, and Zheng Qiankun was instantly goaded into a fury.

’This young man is far too arrogant!’

’If I don’t step in and teach him a lesson myself, this brat will actually think the Zheng Family is no different from those other worthless clans!’

With that, Zheng Qiankun made his move. The aura emanating from his body exploded outward in an instant.

Martial Arts Half-Saint!

Everyone present gasped in shock.
