Peerless Medical Emperor

Zhao Quanzhang saw the two of them coming straight for him.

A vicious smile danced in his eyes.

Just as Ding Luo and Ning Li closed in, Zhao Quanzhang suddenly bellowed.

”Drop the net!”

While Ding Luo and Ning Li were still trying to figure out what was happening, a fine-mesh net forged from pure steel suddenly dropped from above, blanketing them.

”Fire!”

Zhao Quanzhang barked another cold command.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

A dense volley of arrows flew straight toward the steel net.

Seeing this, Chen Qingdi quietly shook his head.

This Zhao Quanzhang was utterly ruthless. He must have planned this vicious method from the moment he started hunting Elder Wu.

”AHH!”

After a few agonizing screams, Ning and Ding went silent.

Both had been knocked unconscious.

”Hahaha!”

”Elder Wu, did you think we only brought a dozen men with us?”

”Show yourselves, brothers.”

Zhao Quanzhang said coldly.

A moment later, more than a dozen heads popped up from the tops of the walls on both sides.

Seeing this, Wu Jinfeng’s expression turned grim.

”So, Elder Wu, are you still unwilling to hand over the Yixing Pearl?”

”What use is it to you, anyway?”

”You’re from an Ancient Martial Family, yet everyone knows you’ve detested Martial Arts since you were a child, Elder Wu. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have dared to make a move against you, let alone go to the trouble of luring you here.”

Zhao Quanzhang said.

”The Wu Family has countless Martial Arts techniques. If you had learned even a few, we would never have dared to lay a hand on you.”

”I truly can’t imagine how the patriarch of the Wu Family could be a feeble old man who can’t even truss a chicken.”

Zhao Quanzhang shook his head repeatedly, looking at Wu Jinfeng with a cold, dismissive stare.

”I can give you the Yixing Pearl.”

”But you must let Ning and Ding go.”

Wu Jinfeng said.

”Of course,”

Zhao Quanzhang said softly.

With that, Zhao Quanzhang walked up to Wu Jinfeng and slowly held out his hand.

”Hand it over.”

”Hand it over, and you’ll be free.”

Zhao Quanzhang said.

Wu Jinfeng took an emerald-green pearl from within his robes and placed it in Zhao Quanzhang’s hand.

But the moment Zhao Quanzhang received the emerald-green pearl, he let out a cold laugh, spun around, and thrust his palm toward Wu Jinfeng.

Although Wu Jinfeng had never studied martial arts, his reflexes were still decent. He retreated quickly, dodging the fatal blow.

”Well, I’ll be. For an old codger, your reflexes are surprisingly quick.”

”To think you could dodge such a vicious palm strike from me.”

”But ultimately, you cannot escape your fate. You will still die.”

Zhao Quanzhang said coldly.

”What is the meaning of this? I’ve already handed you the Wu Family’s greatest treasure, the Yixing Pearl.”

”You can go report the success of your mission to your master. Why do you still insist on killing me?”

”The Wu Family is an Ancient Martial Family. If I die, they will hunt my killer to the ends of the earth, to the highest heavens and the deepest hells.”

”What good will that do you?”

Wu Jinfeng said in a grave voice.

”That’s not my concern. My orders are to kill you.”

Zhao Quanzhang stated flatly.

He then raised his hand, preparing to strike Wu Jinfeng down.

Wu Jinfeng slowly closed his eyes. ’Is this my fate?’ he thought.

He was filled with utter indignation. ’Why did it have to end this way?’

”You’re all in a bit of a hurry, aren’t you?”

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

It sounded jarringly out of place.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Quanzhang paused his attack and looked behind him. A figure was slowly approaching them.

It was none other than Chen Qingdi.

Zhao Quanzhang was inwardly stunned.

Chen Qingdi had been right there in their vicinity, yet not a single one of them had noticed his presence.

This proved that the newcomer’s skill in concealment was formidable.

Wu Jinfeng, who had thought he was about to die, opened his eyes and saw a young man walking over.

He couldn’t help but wonder, ’Is this young man here to save me?’

But he looked again and again, and he still didn’t recognize the young man.

”Who are you?”

Zhao Quanzhang asked coldly.

”Just a passerby,”

Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

”A passerby? Then don’t meddle in business that doesn’t concern you.”

”Get lost.”

Zhao Quanzhang said.

He could tell that Chen Qingdi was likely a Martial Artist as well.

A powerful one, at that. He didn’t want any more trouble, so all he wanted was for Chen Qingdi to leave quickly.

”In that case, how about you return the Yixing Pearl to Elder Wu first?”

”I’ve been watching for quite a while now.”

”Every one of you is a wolf with untamed ambition.”

”Trying to steal another family’s treasure... isn’t that a bit shameless?”

Chen Qingdi looked at Zhao Quanzhang, the smile never leaving his face.

Hearing this, Zhao Quanzhang’s eyes filled with undisguised killing intent as he stared at Chen Qingdi.

”I already told you not to meddle.”

”If you have a death wish, feel free to stick around.”

Zhao Quanzhang said coldly.

But Chen Qingdi showed no intention of leaving.

Instead, he began to walk slowly toward Zhao Quanzhang.

He stopped less than a meter away from Zhao Quanzhang and gave him an indifferent look.

”And what if I don’t leave?”

”No one has ever dared to speak to me like that.”

Chen Qingdi stared at him, his expression cold.

”Damn it, who the hell do you think you are, kid!”

”If you don’t leave now, we won’t let you go, even if Zhao wants to.”

”I’ll give you three seconds.”

”Scram, or we’ll kill you.”

Zhao Quanzhang hadn’t even spoken when the men behind him chimed in coldly.

But not only did Chen Qingdi not leave, he turned and walked toward the heavily injured Ning and Ding.

He stopped in front of the dark, fine-mesh net.

”Forged from pure steel, plated with gold, and reinforced with flexible bone.”

”Materials like these aren’t easy to come by these days.”

”All this for one little Yixing Pearl? Is it really worth it? Just who is the person backing you?”

Chen Qingdi remained perfectly composed.

Zhao Quanzhang couldn’t figure it out. Who on earth was this Chen Qingdi? He was completely unafraid, despite being outnumbered.

’Does this Chen Qingdi have some powerful backer?’

This was one of the reasons Zhao Quanzhang hadn’t yet moved against him.

He first needed to figure out who Chen Qingdi was.

Why wasn’t this man the least bit afraid of them?

Normally, ordinary people would have been scared witless long ago upon seeing them.

But Chen Qingdi was completely unfazed. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the materials of the black net and even seemed intent on rescuing Elder Wu and his people.
