Medical and Martial God

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 One Kick Each

”It seems I have underestimated you,” Tang Yuan said solemnly as the Twin Devils of the North approached.

”We’re the ones who overestimated you,” Feng Ping said coldly, joining forces with Yan Ni to attack Tang Yuan.

Hearing this, Tang Yuan grew furious. Feng Ping’s words were clearly belittling him. He drew a dagger from the small of his back and began to fight fiercely with the Twin Devils of the North.

Ye Xiu had no interest in this level of combat. Qin Qing, on the other hand, was watching with great relish. Although the Grandmasters fought too quickly for her to follow their movements, she found the commotion alone to be thrilling.

Not like Ye Xiu, whose fights have no spectacle at all. He’s such a quick finisher, always ending things in a single move.

”When will I ever be as powerful as them?” Qin Qing asked enviously.

”Could you aim a little higher?” Ye Xiu glanced at Qin Qing disapprovingly. ”An Eighth Grade Grandmaster is trash. You should set your sights on me.”

If anyone from the global Ancient Martial Circle heard this, they would undoubtedly hack Ye Xiu to pieces. In this world, probably only Ye Xiu had the audacity to call an Eighth Grade Grandmaster trash.

”I’ll set a small goal for myself first: to reach the level of an Eighth Grade Grandmaster,” Qin Qing said.

This statement was even more outrageous than Ye Xiu’s. Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Ancient Martial Circle could not reach the height of an Eighth Grade Grandmaster in their entire lifetime, yet for Qin Qing, it was merely a small goal.

At this moment, both the Twin Devils of the North and Tang Yuan realized that none of them could kill the other. If they continued to fight, they would only end up severely wounded.

”Shall we talk?” Tang Yuan suggested.

The Twin Devils of the North shot back, and Feng Ping asked, ”Talk about what?”

”Continuing like this won’t lead to anything. How about this: we join forces to take Ye Xiu’s left arm, and we’ll split the 200 million gold reward evenly,” Tang Yuan said.

”Agreed!” Feng Ping said.

In reality, neither side wanted to share the money, but since neither could overpower the other, they had to reach a temporary agreement. After all, there would be plenty of time on the road to collect the reward after taking Ye Xiu’s left arm. They could figure out a way to kill the other party then.

The three of them turned to look at Ye Xiu, seeing him and Qin Qing sitting on the steps by the entrance, watching the show.

Feng Ping had a sudden idea. ”Tang Yuan,” he said, ”the woman beside Ye Xiu is an exceptional beauty. Aren’t you tempted?”

Over the years, countless women had been ruined by Tang Yuan, and he had torn apart numerous couples.

”Do you think I’d be foolish enough to give you an opportunity?” Tang Yuan had clearly seen through Feng Ping and Yan Ni’s scheme. ”There are plenty of beautiful women in this world, so I’m not desperate for this one,” he said coldly. ”Let’s get on with it before complications arise.”

Seeing that Tang Yuan didn’t fall for the bait, Feng Ping and Yan Ni were secretly disappointed. The three of them started walking towards Ye Xiu and Qin Qing.

Yan Ni sneered, ”Ye Xiu, you’re the most foolish person I’ve ever seen. If I were you, I would have run away while we were fighting Tang Yuan. But here you are, enjoying the spectacle. It seems you’ve already prepared to be killed.”

”That’s not how you should put it,” Feng Ping said with a laugh. ”Ye Xiu has self-awareness. He knows he can’t escape even if he runs, so he’s decided to just wait for death.”

As Ye Xiu looked at the mocking smiles on Feng Ping and Yan Ni’s faces, the image of Nuonuo’s body covered in severe burns involuntarily flashed in his mind. Thinking about all the heinous crimes the Twin Devils of the North had committed over the years, a towering killing intent ignited in his chest.

He stood up and said, ”Stop the nonsense. Make your move.”

”So eager to die?” Feng Ping sneered. ”Fine. In that case, I’ll grant your wish.” With that, he raised his sword to cut Ye Xiu down.

”Wait!” Tang Yuan stepped in to stop Feng Ping. ”Ye Xiu,” he said, ”you seem quite wealthy. How about this: give us some money, and we can spare you. After all, the bounty only requires your left arm; it doesn’t say we need to take your life.”

Hearing this, Feng Ping and Yan Ni were taken aback. They hadn’t thought of that. Ye Xiu, who could afford a mansion in Tu Mountain Manor, was obviously super-rich. Perhaps the money in Ye Xiu’s account was worth even more than the 200 million gold reward.

Feng Ping added, ”Tang Yuan is right. We don’t really need to kill you. How about this? As long as the money you give us exceeds the reward amount, we won’t kill you or take your left arm. What do you say?”

Yan Ni said, ”You’re the Medicine King Xuanse. Making money is easy for you. A few hundred million in gold is nothing, but if you lose your life, all the money in the world is useless.”

”Just get on with it,” Ye Xiu said impatiently.

The Twin Devils of the North and Tang Yuan frowned. They hadn’t expected Ye Xiu to be such a miser, preferring death over giving them money.

”Grab that woman and use her to make Ye Xiu pay up,” Tang Yuan suggested, pointing at Qin Qing.

”Good idea!” Feng Ping and Yan Ni’s eyes lit up.

Yan Ni approached Qin Qing with a cold sneer. ”Ye Xiu, you heard Tang Yuan. Will you hand over the money yourself, or should I grab this pretty lady and force you to pay?”

By the time she finished speaking, she was already in front of Qin Qing, her hand reaching for her neck.

Qin Qing smiled slightly, not at all worried about falling into Yan Ni’s hands. She was confident that Ye Xiu wouldn’t let Yan Ni touch her.

And she was right. Just as Yan Ni’s hand was about to touch Qin Qing’s neck, Ye Xiu moved.

With a thunderous kick, he struck the side of Yan Ni’s face. She was sent flying like a shell for over ten meters before she hit the ground, motionless.

HISS!

Seeing this, Feng Ping and Tang Yuan were shocked. From that one kick, they realized Ye Xiu was an expert.

”Yan Ni!” Feng Ping cried, running to check on her, only to find that she was dead.

”This...” The color drained from Feng Ping’s face. Yan Ni was an Eighth Grade Grandmaster. How could she have been killed by a single kick from Ye Xiu?

”Ye Xiu, you’ll pay for my wife’s life!” Shock turned to fury as Feng Ping charged at Ye Xiu with his sword.

He didn’t believe Ye Xiu was actually stronger than Yan Ni. In his mind, she had only died because she had been completely unguarded and Ye Xiu had launched a sneak attack. Besides, Ye Xiu was the Divine Doctor; he knew the body’s vital points. That must have been how he killed Yan Ni with a single kick.

Tang Yuan thought the same, but his thoughts went further than Feng Ping’s. Now that Yan Ni was dead, Feng Ping alone was no match for him. He could kill Feng Ping and take the 200 million gold reward all for himself.

And so, Tang Yuan made his move. He would not allow Ye Xiu to die at Feng Ping’s hands.
