The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder were stunned when they saw Lu Xiaoyao. The Fifth Elder shouted, “Geezer Lu, you’re still on your feet!?”

He was extremely confident in his Gelid Palm attack. Even if Lu Xiaoyao didn’t die, he should be half dead. Why did he still look so hale and hearty now?

Lu Xiaoyao sneered, “I will not die that easily. Even if you die, I will not die.”

The Fifth Elder said gloomily, “Lu Xiaoyao, even if you find someone to cure the gelid Genuine Qi of my Gelid Palm, so what? As long as our Ghost King Sect wants to kill you, we can do it at any time.”

The Sixth Elder also said, “That’s right. If you want to live, hand over the Black Demon Pearl now. Otherwise, you will die.”

Lu Xiaoyao said, “I’ve already said it. I don’t know what the Black Demon Pearl is.”

The Fifth Elder gnashed his teeth and said, “Old man, you really won’t give up until you see your coffin. This time, I’ll directly cut off your four limbs and see how arrogant you can be.”

After that, he moved and hit out at Lu Xiaoyao with his palm.

As a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, he could mobilize the Qi of Heaven and Earth with a flick of his hand. With his unique Gelid Palm strike, the temperature of the whole courtyard seemed to have dropped by a few degrees and snowflakes drifted in the air, which showed how powerful his gelid Genuine Qi was.

Lu Xiaoyao knew that he had no way to retreat, so with a roar, he shot his palm out to counter the palm strike of the Fifth Elder. They began to fight with each other.

After Lu Xiaoyao reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, his focus was always on refining pills. Thus, his cultivation had not improved much. He had stagnated at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm for many years.

The two of them were evenly matched. For a moment, they were locked in a stalemate.

The Sixth Elder seemed to lose his patience and shouted, “Geezer Lu, I’ll let you taste the feeling of ice and fire!”

After that, he attacked Lu Xiaoyao from behind. Lu Xiaoyao’s housekeeper wanted to help, but his cultivation was too low. The Sixth Elder just waved his sleeve and the housekeeper flew dozens of meters away. He lay prone on the ground and spat out blood.

“Blazing Palm!”

The Sixth Elder cultivated the cultivation method that belonged to the fire element. As soon as he raised his hand, a stream of flames suddenly appeared. The temperature shot up as if the air had been set on fire. His palm filled with blazing momentum hit Lu Xiaoyao.

Lu Xiaoyao’s skills were barely on par with the Fifth Elder. If the Sixth Elder joined the fight, Lu Xiaoyao would be utterly defeated by the two elders.

But at this moment, an even bigger flame suddenly appeared in front of the Sixth Elder.

To be exact, it was a thick column of flame, like a huge fire dragon, which instantly broke the Sixth Elder’s palm strike into pieces.

The Sixth Elder was shocked. His cultivation had reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. In addition, his cultivation method belonged to the fire element. For so many years, no one had ever defeated him when it came to using fire as a weapon.

He fell back several dozen meters in succession. Only after steadying himself did he see a huge flaming beast standing in front of him. It was the Flame Gold-eyed Beast.

At the same time, the other Flame Gold-eyed Beast had joined the battle between Lu Xiaoyao and the Fifth Elder. Of course, it was to help Lu Xiaoyao attack the Fifth Elder.

Although the Fifth Elder’s cultivation method belonged to the ice element and his Gelid Palm strike was very powerful, he was no match for the flames of the Flame Gold-eyed Beast.

Under the attack from Lu Xiaoyao and the beast, the Fifth Elder was quickly beaten into a sorry state. His clothes were scorched and even his hair was burnt away.

The Sixth Elder was very confused. He didn’t know where this demonic beast came from. He wanted to help the Fifth Elder. Unfortunately, he was already having difficulties with the Flame Gold-eyed Beast.

With his cultivation, he was barely able to challenge the Flame Gold-eyed Beast and did not even have the slightest advantage.

On the side of the Fifth Elder, his situation became more dangerous. His face was burned by the flames spat out by the Flame Gold-eyed Beast, and it looked very bad.

He turned back and shouted to his fellows, “What the fuck are you doing? Hurry up and help me.”

They brought 30 men in black this time, each of whom was at the stage of the Combination Realm. These people responded and were about to attack the Flame Gold-eyed Beast together.

Right at the moment when the Fifth Elder was distracted, a muffled bang came. An egg-sized bloody hole suddenly appeared on his right chest.

It was Qin Haodong who did it. He had been hiding in the room and waiting for an opportunity to shoot. He used a Barrett M82A1 to shoot and the bullet dealt the Fifth Elder with a fatal blow.

Before the Fifth Elder could figure out what had happened, he was suddenly seriously injured.

Lu Xiaoyao had also experienced countless battles. Although he was greatly shocked, he did not miss the opportunity. He immediately slapped the Fifth Elder’s head.

Last time, he had been slapped by the Gelid Palm of the Fifth Elder and almost died, so he used all his strength this time, without showing the slightest mercy.

With a bang, the head of the Fifth Elder of the Ghost King Sect suddenly split apart like a rotten watermelon, the blood, and brain matters splattering all over the ground.

Immediately after that, the Flame Gold-eyed Beast sprayed out another stream of flame. Then, the Fifth Elder’s corpse was reduced to ashes.

The Sixth Elder was shocked. He realized that there were still masters hidden somewhere. After the death of the Fifth Elder, the strength of his side had been significantly reduced and he knew he could not accomplish his mission today.

Just as he was about to escape with his men, he heard two muffled bangs. His left and right kneecaps were hit by the bullets from the Barrett M82A1.

The Flame Gold-eyed Beast seemed to have a tacit understanding with its master. The moment Qin Haodong was about to move, it raised its huge claw and stepped on the Sixth Elder.

Next, another stream of flame was sprayed out by it and the Fifth Elder was reduced to ashes, too.

Seeing that the two elders in charge were dead, the other members of the Ghost King Sect lost their courage to fight and fled in all directions. The slower ones were all burnt to a crisp by the flames from the Flame Gold-eyed Beast.

At the end of the battle, Qin Haodong came out of the room. With a thought, he put the two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts back into the Spirit Beast Pouch.

Xiaoyao wiped the sweat off his forehead. This time, he managed to elude death.

Knowing that it was Qin Haodong who had helped him, he came over and said gratefully, “Little magic doctor, thank you for your help. Otherwise, I would have been killed by them this time.”

“You’re welcome, President Lu. It’s just a small matter.” Qin Haodong said but his expression suddenly changed.

His eyes fell on the pile of ashes that was once the Fifth Elder’s body.

The temperature of the flames spat out by the Flame Gold-eyed Beast was extremely high. It had almost reached the level of the Innate Fire. After getting burned by this kind of flames, everything would be reduced to ashes.

However, a gentle breeze blew past. The small amount of ash scattered in the air, leaving behind a black pearl.

He couldn’t be more familiar with this black pearl. It was the Black Demon Pearl.

It seemed that before they attacked Lu Xiaoyao, the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder had got a Black Demon Pearl from another place. After the Fifth Elder was burnt, this Black Demon Pearl was left behind among his ashes.

Qin Haodong went over and picked up the Black Demon Pearl. It was indeed strange. It felt cool to the touch and showed no traces of being burned.

No wonder the Seven Families couldn’t destroy the 7 Black Demon Pearls no matter how hard they tried. It was true that it was impervious to fire and water.

Lu Xiaoyao came over and said, “It seems that this is the Black Demon Pearl stolen by the Ghost King Sect from another place. Fortunately, it fell into your hands. If it fell into the hands of bad people, I don’t know what kind of heartless things they would make use of the Black Demon Pearl to do.”

Qin Haodong put away the Black Demon Pearl and said, “I’ll take this. The Ghost King Sect won’t be able to get it from me.”

He did have the confidence. He put the Black Demon Pearl into the Seven Storeys Pagoda. If he didn’t take the initiative to take it out, no one could take it away.

“I didn’t expect that not only do you have such excellent medical skills, but you also have such high cultivation.”

Lu Xiaoyao saw clearly that Qin Haodong had just killed the Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder. Although he didn’t know what method Qin Haodong had used, being able to kill masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm was a manifestation of strength.

What’s more, Qin Haodong had two eighth-level spirit beasts. Lu Xiaoyao could only look up to him.

“Little magic doctor, I have a presumptuous request.” He took out his Black Demon Pearl and said, “It’s not safe with me. Can you help me keep it? Don’t let it fall into the hands of the Ghost King Sect.”

Qin Haodong hesitated and said, “Well, as long as President Lu trusts me.”

“Of course. I believe in you. You are the only person I can trust in this world.”

Lu Xiaoyao had been an alchemist all his life. He was very good at judging people. Qin Haodong gave the Rejuvenative Acupuncture Method to Linghu Chao and the others without taking any payment, which was enough to convince him.

Because of this, he was willing to take out his Black Demon Pearl and give it to Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong reached out to take the Black Demon Pearl and put it into the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

For him, there was no difference between keeping two or three Black Demon Pearls. If he didn’t take Lu Xiaoyao’s Black Demon Pearl away, this Black Demon Pearl would be a scourge for Lu Xiaoyao sooner or later. It would be better for him to just take it.

After that, everyone returned to their rooms.

Lu Xiaoyao immediately arranged a room for Qin Haodong and the other two to have a rest.

After returning to his room, Qin Haodong asked Niu Cuihua, “Why did Ghost King Sect want the Black Demon Pearls? What is the purpose?”

He had always been confused about this. At first, he thought that Ghost King Sect had something to do with the Alien Demon. However, he had tested Niu Cuihua’s bloodline. She was indeed Human and had no Alien Demon bloodline at all. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Qin Haodong and Niu Cuihua to be lovers.

Niu Cuihua said, “I don’t know. It was my brother’s order. I have not asked what he wanted to do.”

Although she was the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect, she didn’t do much. Taking Qin Haodong away was one of the few tasks she had done for the Ghost King Sect.

Qin Haodong said, “It is said that the Black Demon Pearl was a treasure left by the Alien Demon. If one managed to collect all seven Black Demon Pearls, the sleeping God of Demon underground will be woken up, and then the Alien Demon can be reborn.

“These Black Demon Pearls don’t seem to have any other use. Why does your Ghost King Sect want them? What’s the benefit for the Ghost King Sect if the God of Demon underground is awakened?”

Niu Cuihua shook her head and said, “I don’t know. The affairs of the Ghost King Sect are all decided by my brother. I seldom ask about these things.”

Qin Haodong said, “Anyway, after the seven Black Demon Pearls are gathered, the thing that the Ghost King Sect would like to do must not be a good thing. I must stop the Ghost King Sect.”

Niu Cuihua said, “Hubby, it seems that you have a vendetta against the Ghost King Sect?”

No matter what, Li Tianxing, the sect master of the Ghost King Sect, was her brother. She did not want her brother and Qin Haodong to become enemies.

Qin Haodong said, “I don’t have much enmity with the Ghost King Sect. It was the Ghost King Sect who took the initiative to create problems for me, but Alien Demon is my enemy. I can’t let the God of Demon wake up.”

This was indeed his idea. Once the God of Demon awoke, he might open a space passage between the earth and the Lingwu Continent. At that time, the consequence would be unimaginable.

Niu Cuihua said, “As far as I know, my brother and I are purely human and have nothing to do with Alien Demon. For his purpose of robbing these Black Demon Pearls, I don’t think he is trying to wake up the sleeping God of Demon.”

The next morning, when Qin Haodong woke up, he found Lu Xiaoyao was already waiting at his door.

He asked in surprise, “President Lu, what’s the matter?”
