Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1781: Chapter 1780: Jade Amulet Saves Life

Dong Tiancheng was someone who had weathered many storms, having survived hundreds of assassination attempts in the past.

Doing business on the border and reaching his level, what kind of danger hadn’t he seen?

At this moment, the first thought that crossed his mind was the possibility of an ambush.

And sure enough, as he had expected, Wandering Snake, hiding in the shadows, fired several poison needles with a ”whoosh-whoosh-whoosh,” streaking toward Dong Tiancheng’s direction.

However, the car Dong Tiancheng was sitting in was custom-made, bulletproof and blast-resistant.

The poison needles shot by Wandering Snake couldn’t penetrate his vehicle at all.

Seeing this, Wandering Snake let out a cold laugh and muttered under his breath, ”Looks like I’ll have to handle this personally.”

As he said that, he stepped out from behind the Crooked Neck Tree.

Meanwhile, Dong Tiancheng’s bodyguards had already surrounded Wandering Snake.

”Who are you, daring to assassinate our Boss Dong!” the head bodyguard shouted at Wandering Snake.

This head bodyguard was also a martial artist, and quite strong—he possessed Grandmaster strength.

He was a retired fighter from the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, whose marksmanship was comparable to that of a Divine Sharpshooter.

Dong Tiancheng had hired him for an annual salary of ten million, and he’d saved Dong Tiancheng countless times.

But this time, it was clearly different from the past.

The strength of Wandering Snake was that of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist.

At this moment, he said coldly, ”A mere Grandmaster dares to ask about my name?”

”Get lost!”

As he roared out the word ”get lost,” he suddenly struck, unleashing a punch.

”Boom～～～” A terrifying gust of energy sent the head bodyguard with Grandmaster strength flying hundreds of meters with a single punch.

He landed hundreds of meters away, his life or death uncertain.

Witnessing this scene, the other bodyguards were horrified.

”Quick, protect Boss Dong!”

”This is a martial arts expert; his strength is Half-Step Earth Realm!”

”...”

The bodyguards quickly formed a defensive ring around Dong Tiancheng’s car.

But Wandering Snake, as if no one was there, charged in.

In the blink of an eye, he sent one bodyguard flying with each strike, clearing his path.

Soon, he stood directly in front of Dong Tiancheng.

Dong Tiancheng was petrified at this moment. He hadn’t expected the assassin this time to be a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist.

Facing an expert of this caliber, he was completely powerless to resist.

After closing the distance to Dong Tiancheng, Wandering Snake struck out with his palm.

Seeing this, Qin Yitian, who was nearby, urgently shouted, ”Wei Hu, aren’t you a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist? Hurry up and save Dong Tiancheng!”

Wei Hu replied calmly, ”Alright, I’m going immediately.”

Though he said so, his movements were deliberately a step slower, and a cold smile crept onto the corner of his lips.

”Bang!” At this moment, Wandering Snake’s palm landed squarely on Dong Tiancheng’s chest.

This palm was imbued with internal force, and in Wandering Snake’s eyes, it should completely shatter Dong Tiancheng’s internal organs.

At the same time, this palm was laced with poison.

So, in the view of Wandering Snake and Wei Hu, Dong Tiancheng was undoubtedly doomed.

After delivering the strike, Wei Hu finally arrived, shouting at Wandering Snake, ”You assassin! How dare you act recklessly in front of me, Wei Hu? Now taste my power!”

Saying this, he lunged toward Wandering Snake.

Wandering Snake cooperated with Wei Hu, traded a few blows, and then said, ”Didn’t expect to encounter someone like you.”

”Can’t win, can’t win. Save it for next time!”

After offering a bit of lip service, Wandering Snake fled in a flash.

Wei Hu didn’t pursue him but instead returned to Qin Yitian and said, ”Miss Yitian, don’t worry. That assassin has already been driven away by me.”

Qin Yitian didn’t respond but instead headed toward Dong Tiancheng.

”Is Boss Dong alright? Just now, he was hit by a palm of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist.”

”The impact of that, on a normal person, would have been fatal.” Qin Yitian spoke anxiously as she hurried toward Dong Tiancheng.

Wei Hu laughed coldly to himself, thinking, ”Dong Tiancheng is definitely dead. That was a full-strength palm from a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, easily capable of shattering his internal organs.”

As he thought this, his face mirrored Qin Yitian’s with a worried expression, following her to Dong Tiancheng’s side.

Soon, the group arrived before Dong Tiancheng.

Wei Hu, feigning concern, was the first to approach Dong Tiancheng and asked, ”Boss Dong, are you okay?”

”Sigh, it’s my fault for being a bit late. Even though I drove the assassin away, I still let him strike you once.”

”Boss Dong, if anything happens to you, I’ll regret it for life...”

He fully expected Dong Tiancheng to have already succumbed.

Unexpectedly, Dong Tiancheng replied, ”Thank you for your concern, Young Master Wei. I’m alright, it’s not a big problem.”

What!?

This response left Wei Hu completely flabbergasted.

What’s going on?

A Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist struck you with a palm, and you’re telling me you’re fine?

Qin Yitian, standing to the side, was equally perplexed and asked curiously, ”Boss Dong, are you really alright?”

”That was a palm from a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist. Did you block it? Boss Dong, could you also be a martial artist? Have you been hiding this from us?”

Dong Tiancheng shook his head and replied, ”Me? A martial artist? Not at all, I’m just an ordinary person.”

”I think the reason I managed to block that palm is because of the jade talisman I was carrying.”

With that, he pulled out a jade talisman from his chest.

The jade talisman was now shattered.

Clearly, it had just served its purpose.

”It saved my life just now,” Dong Tiancheng explained.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yitian asked curiously, ”Boss Dong, what kind of jade talisman is this?”

”This is something I purchased, with great difficulty, from Master Lin in Demon City back in the day.”

”This jade talisman has the ability to safeguard peace and safety.”

What!?

Upon hearing this, Qin Yitian exclaimed, ”That Master Lin was truly a marvel! A piece of jade talisman he crafted during his life could actually save Boss Dong from the palm strike of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist.”

Wei Hu, at this moment, stood there utterly stunned.

He truly hadn’t anticipated Dong Tiancheng’s luck to be this extraordinary.

Wearing a jade talisman had actually saved his life.

And the talisman was one that had been crafted by the now deceased Master Lin.

Right now, even Wei Hu couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at how impressive Master Lin had been. A casually crafted talisman had managed to exhibit its power posthumously.

Dong Tiancheng couldn’t help gazing up at the sky, lamenting, ”Sigh, Master Lin, I, Dong Tiancheng, owe you my life. Such a gifted talent like you—dying young—is truly the gods’ envy.”

As he uttered this, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

”Pfff～～～”

Then, he collapsed to the ground in a heap.

Seeing this, Qin Yitian cried out in alarm, ”This is bad! Although the jade talisman crafted by Master Lin during his life blocked the assassin’s attempt to shatter Boss Dong’s internal organs.”

”The assassin’s palm still contained extreme poison, and now Boss Dong’s poisoning has taken effect.”

Wei Hu, witnessing this, couldn’t help laughing hysterically in his heart, thinking, ”Hahaha, Dong Tiancheng, while your luck saved you with Master Lin’s jade talisman, it only protected your organs.”

”It couldn’t prevent you from being poisoned.”

”You’re still dead.”

Just as Wei Hu was reveling in his schadenfreude, a voice suddenly rang out.

”The poison he’s suffering from is a type of snake venom. I can cure it.”
