Chapter 483: 482 Chapter [Zhang Yide Won’t Save Ye Tianchen?]

”Young man, you are avoiding treatment, and I pointed it out to you because I see you have strength and a promising future,” said Zhang Yide, shaking his head as he looked at Wang Jie. ”Since you are indifferent, let’s leave it to fate.”

”Divine Doctor Zhang, my elder brother has been in a coma for nine days and nights; I implore you to save him!” Wuxue respectfully said to Zhang Yide.

Zhang Yide glanced at Wuxue but said nothing, merely shaking his head and then closing his eyes to rest. He didn’t even look at Ye Tianchen, nor did he comment on whether Ye Tianchen’s injuries could be healed. This left Wuxue and the others in a state of urgency. They wanted to ask questions, but Zhang Yide remained silent. They wanted to threaten him into acting, but Zhang Yide was an elder, and his strength was not weak. Whether they could actually overpower him was still an unknown.

This anxious waiting is just so unbearable. Everyone has their own helplessness and moments when they are powerless to act. Even the most powerful individuals, even the extraordinary ones, have times when they are at their wit’s end. And what about ordinary people, the common folk? Take the city dwellers, for example. Even the richest and most influential people feel isolated and helpless when they watch a loved one die; they are truly incapable of doing anything. You can only watch as your loved ones gradually age and embark on the journey of life and death. All you can do is watch them leave you, becoming forever separated by heaven and earth. Crying isn’t even the best way to express it anymore. The real inner torment is indescribable by the phrase ’unbearable pain’.

Wang Jie glanced at Zhang Yide, walked up to him, and with his right index finger pointing at Zhang Yide, he said, ”Elder Zhang, I respect you as a senior, but don’t make me angry. Do you have the ability to heal my elder brother or not? If not, I might just have to throw you out of the villa. You’re too much of an eyesore here!”

Hearing Wang Jie’s words, Wuxue wanted to intervene but ultimately said nothing. He had run out of options: he had begged and said all he could, yet Zhang Yide remained unmoved. Always lying on the lounge chair resting with his eyes closed, as if uninvolved and uncaring. How could Wuxue and the others not be anxious? Nine days and nights had passed, and not only had Ye Tianchen not woken up, but his breath seemed even weaker. What should they do if this continued? Zhang Yide had been there for two days and nights, and everyone had thought that Ye Tianchen would be saved. But since his arrival at the villa, the old man hadn’t even looked at Ye Tianchen, let alone tried to heal him. It seemed as if he came to the villa to relax rather than to treat Ye Tianchen. The intentions of the old man were truly incomprehensible.

”Throw me out? I’m afraid you don’t have the skills for that!” Zhang Yide said with a slight smile, not even glancing at Wang Jie.

Wang Jie frowned, clenched his teeth, and lunged towards Zhang Yide with his Dragon Claw Hand, aiming for Zhang Yide’s shoulder. Wuxue, Lin Duan, Bao Tianglong, Cang Lang, and Hei Mian all watched. Wang Jie was strong; he could take on any one of them in a fight, but it was unclear who was stronger or weaker. Besides strength, fighting also involved combat experience, timing, and the environment. Wang Jie’s Dragon Claw Hand was mighty enough to crush a steel plate and he grabbed at Zhang Yide’s shoulder with force.

In the blink of an eye, just as Wang Jie’s Dragon Claw Hand reached for Zhang Yide’s shoulder, Zhang Yide flipped up from the lounge chair, pointed a finger, and hit the palm of Wang Jie’s right hand. Wang Jie instantly felt his right arm go numb, and then he felt like he lost his entire right arm; the numbness kept spreading, freezing his right side completely, which alarmed him. He hadn’t expected Elder Zhang to be so formidable.

Ignoring the numb feeling that had spread across the entire right side of his body, Wang Jie still bit down and attacked Zhang Yide. Unfortunately, he had just charged forward two steps when Zhang Yide’s right hand clasped his throat. With just a bit more force, Wang Jie would lose his life.

Wang Jie lost, and he was defeated quickly and decisively, to the astonishment of the remaining five, including Wuxue. None of them could believe that Wang Jie would be defeated so easily, and that he was no match for Zhang Yide. This elderly man with white hair and beard was astonishingly powerful, managing to subdue Wang Jie in an instant. It was almost unbelievable that Zhang Yide, an elderly man of such an age, could move and strike as quickly as Wang Jie.

”I lost. You can kill me, but I won’t accept it. This ’Divine Doctor Ghost Hand’ title is nothing but empty fame!” Wang Jie said indignantly.

”Young man, don’t be so impulsive. Your strength isn’t weaker than mine, but you lost because you were rash. Impulsiveness is the devil!” said Zhang Yide, suddenly smiling with a hint of amusement.

In fact, Zhang Yide’s strength might not be much different from that of Wuxue and the others. This was not to be underestimated, as Zhang Yide himself was a Healing type Superpower User. Healing Superpower Users usually have weaker strength, and their medical skills are naturally strong. During the apocalypse on the star of Earth, Ye Tianchen had also met some Healing system Superpower Users whose own strength was not great, and they usually needed someone to protect them; otherwise, they were very likely to be killed by enemies.

Zhang Yide was a Healing type Superpower User, limited by cultivation, and considering that Earth’s environment was no longer suitable for cultivation, the fact that he still managed to reach the King-level Superpower Realm was already very impressive to Ye Tianchen. He regarded him as a remarkable elder.

Wang Jie shouldn’t have lost so miserably; his strength was not inferior to Wuxue’s, capable enough to battle fiercely with Divine Doctor Zhang. Unfortunately, he was too rash and underestimated the elderly man reaching his seventies. Assuming his full-power Dragon Claw Hand could not be dodged by Divine Doctor Zhang, he was taken by surprise when not only did Divine Doctor Zhang evade his attack, but also defeated him in the blink of an eye. He had truly not expected that.

Among those present, only Divine Doctor Zhang understood the reason. He knew that Wang Jie was strong and shouldn’t have been defeated so easily. It was because Wang Jie was too impetuous and had underestimated him that he found an opportunity to strike an acupoint in the palm of Wang Jie’s right hand, infusing a healing type Superpower User’s unique power rapidly into Wang Jie’s body, causing him to go numb and lose all sensation. To launch an attack in such a state was impossible. In truth, had Wang Jie been a little more careful, he wouldn’t have been hit by Divine Doctor Zhang on the palm of his right hand.

”Divine Doctor Zhang, please show mercy to my impetuous brother. Please do not take offense at any wrongdoing!” Wuxue hurried forward to plead.

Divine Doctor Zhang didn’t have any intention to kill Wang Jie; he had no grudges with him and also understood Wang Jie’s feelings. Ye Tianchen had been unconscious for nine days and nights, with his fate uncertain, and the Thirteen Heavenly Kings were like a dragon without a head. If this continued, people’s hearts might scatter.

”Forget it, don’t bother me anymore. Let me get some sleep!” Divine Doctor Zhang released his grip on Wang Jie’s throat and said.

”But... Divine Doctor Zhang, about my elder brother’s condition...” Wuxue couldn’t help but speak.

Hearing Wuxue’s words, Divine Doctor Zhang still ignored him, closed his eyes, yawned, and actually fell asleep right in front of Wuxue and the others.

”Damn it, I can’t help but get angry. If I had known, I wouldn’t have pinned my hopes on that so-called Divine Doctor Ghost Hand. This old man doesn’t even bother to treat my elder brother and it might have been better to send him to a big hospital to try our luck!” Bao Tianglong, usually more composed, could not hide his frustration seeing Ye Tianchen in such a state of unconsciousness, and Divine Doctor Zhang not even sparing him a glance after two days and nights.

”Send him to a big hospital for treatment? Did you forget what big brother said? He mentioned that after taking him back to his bedroom, he should sit cross-legged and not be moved until we found Divine Doctor Zhang!” Lin Duan said indignantly.

”Not to be moved until we find Divine Doctor Zhang, but now that the old man has shown up himself, and if he won’t treat big brother, are we just going to keep waiting like this?” said Wang Jie bitterly, still upset about being defeated by Divine Doctor Zhang.

”Can you three be quiet for a moment and think of other methods? It’s far better to rely on our own efforts than to place hope in someone else!” Wuxue finally erupted, raising his voice.

With Wuxue’s outburst, Bao Tianglong, Lin Duan, and Wang Jie all quieted down. After all, Wuxue was powerful, had leadership skills, and had been managing the Thirteen Heavenly Kings well in Ye Tianchen’s absence. He had some authority among the others, and they respected him. In Ye Tianchen’s absence, they all looked to Wuxue for guidance.

”There are no other options to think of. Even Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, Divine Doctor Zhang, doesn’t want to intervene. What else can we do?” Cang Lang shook his head and said.

Everyone looked disheartened; indeed, Cang Lang made a good point. In this world, probably no one can surpass Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, Divine Doctor Zhang, in medical skills. If even he wouldn’t save Ye Tianchen, was there any point in seeking help from others? No one could understand why Divine Doctor Zhang was unwilling to save Ye Tianchen. Logically, he should be the one most eager to do so, as it also concerned the happiness of his granddaughter, Zhang Ruotong. Yet, against all expectations, Divine Doctor Zhang didn’t take action to save Ye Tianchen, just sat quietly in the wicker chair for two days and nights. Even when Wang Jie cursed and attacked, he still wouldn’t give Ye Tianchen as much as a glance. What could be the reason for this?

At that moment, Xiao Ya and Qi Ruxue also entered Ye Tianchen’s bedroom, hand in hand, and spoke to Wuxue and the others: ”Let us try. No matter what, we must ask Divine Doctor Zhang to save Tianchen!” (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to cast your recommendation votes, monthly votes.
