Medical and Martial God

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: The Wrath of Huang Quan

The four Eighth Grade Grandmasters suddenly felt that what Li Yan said made a lot of sense. Ye Tianming had only sent them to negotiate with Ye Xiu; he hadn’t specified *how* to negotiate, let alone forbidden them from digging up the graves of Ye Xiu’s mother and grandparents.

”Hurry up and dig them out!” Li Yan said with a confident smile. ”You take the urns back to Yunluo City. I’ll go negotiate with Ye Xiu. If he wants them back, he’ll have to hand over the Marrow Cleansing Pill and go to Yunluo City to treat the Old Master.”

”Alright!”

The four Eighth Grade Grandmasters’ reluctance vanished, and they began to swing their hammers vigorously, smashing at the graves.

Years ago, Qin Qing, terrified that Ming Yue and her gang would desecrate the graves, had specifically hired builders to use the best materials possible, constructing the tombs like small steel fortresses. They were built with the highest-quality sand and concrete, reinforced with various steel structures. Even the tombstones couldn’t be easily shattered with hammers.

Using hammers and swords in tandem, the four Eighth Grade Grandmasters expended a colossal effort before finally excavating the urns of Ye Xiu’s mother and grandparents.

”Let’s go, I’ll take you to the airport!” Li Yan said, seeing the urns were finally dug out.

”Okay!”

The five of them left the cemetery and returned to their car.

Just as they were about to get in, they inexplicably felt a terrifying, ominous gloom sweep over them. In the next moment, a black Bentley came hurtling toward them at an astonishing speed, drifting wildly for several rotations before screeching to a halt just ten meters away.

”You dare disturb my mother and grandparents. You all deserve to die!”

As a voice that sounded like a soul-reaping demonic chant from Hell rang out, the Bentley’s door opened, and Ye Xiu stepped out, seething with killing intent.

”Ye Xiu?”

Upon seeing Ye Xiu, and especially the towering Killing Intent radiating from him and his fierce eyes that seemed capable of devouring demons and Buddhas alike, the faces of Li Yan and his four companions paled in terror.

”Quick, get in the car!” Li Yan urged, pulling his door open. The four Eighth Grade Grandmasters scrambled to do the same.

However, before they could get in, a violent series of CRACKS and POPS erupted from their vehicle, as if countless invisible blades were fiercely hacking it apart. To their horror, countless terrifying slash marks appeared all over the car’s body. In an instant, the entire vehicle was reduced to a pile of scrap metal, brutally chopped to pieces by unseen forces.

”This...”

Li Yan and his men were speechless. Even from inside the Bentley, Kuroki Suzu was petrified by the scene.

To shred a car from ten meters away just by turning Qi into blades, all while perfectly avoiding the five people standing right beside it... that level of power and technique is unheard of. Even as a War God, I couldn’t do this. Sword Qi and Blade Qi can be used for long-range attacks, but chopping a car to pieces is something else entirely. It’s far beyond what mere Sword Qi or Blade Qi can achieve. If I were to face that attack, that barrage of blades formed from pure Qi... I would probably be sliced to ribbons in an instant, wouldn’t I?

Is he the second person in the world with God Slaying strength? Or could it be that Ye Xiu *is*... An unbelievable guess suddenly occurred to her.

As Ye Xiu approached step by step, Li Yan and his men panicked. To them, the man walking toward them might as well have been the Death God himself.

”Stop! Stop right there!” one of the Eighth Grade Grandmasters cried out in terror. He held up the urn containing the ashes of Ye Xiu’s mother and threatened, ”Take one more step, and I’ll destroy your mother’s urn!”

The words had barely left his mouth when his body disintegrated, scattering across the ground.

Yet the urn he had been holding did not fall. Instead, it floated through the air and came to a stop before Ye Xiu.

Using Qi to manipulate objects!

This display of skill left Kuroki Suzu and Li Yan’s three remaining companions stunned once again. However, they were in no mood for admiration. Glancing at the gory remains on the ground, Li Yan and the three Grandmasters immediately vomited. They didn’t even dare to squat down, instead standing frozen, staring in terror at the approaching Ye Xiu as they retched violently.

Inside the Bentley, Kuroki Suzu also threw open her door, jumped out, and crouched on the ground, vomiting profusely.

”Speak. Why did you desecrate my family’s graves? Who sent you?” Ye Xiu asked, his voice cold. He had stopped three meters away from Li Yan and the others. His voice was hoarse, as if suppressing a towering fury that was on the verge of erupting.

”Mercy...”

The three Eighth Grade Grandmasters dropped to their knees with a thud.

One of them stammered in a panic, ”It was Li Yan! He’s the one who ordered us to dig up the graves! It was Ye Tianming! Ye Tianming sent us to negotiate with you! I... I was just following orders! Please don’t kill me, I beg you, don’t kill me...”

SPURT!

Blood erupted from the man’s chest. He collapsed, his eyes wide in disbelief as life left him.

”He was incoherent. I couldn’t understand him,” Ye Xiu said coldly.

”I’ll speak! I’ll speak!” Seeing how Ye Xiu had pierced the Grandmaster’s heart with some imperceptible, ghostly technique, another of the men hurriedly explained, ”Ye Tianming went to Sang Jing for the War God assessment. He passed yesterday afternoon and was promoted to War God.

”He felt that by becoming a War God, he finally had the power to defeat or even kill you, so he sent Li Yan and us to Jin Ye City to demand that you hand over the Marrow Cleansing Pill and go to Yunluo City to cure your father, Ye Zhong.

”After we arrived in Jin Ye City, however, Li Yan brought us here to the cemetery and ordered us to dig up the graves of your mother and grandparents.

”Li Yan said that with their urns in hand, he could blackmail you into giving up the Marrow Cleansing Pill and force you to obediently go to Yunluo City and treat Ye Zhong...”

Hearing this, Ye Xiu closed his eyes and took a deep, shuddering breath through clenched teeth.

Ye Tianming! It’s always Ye Tianming! That damn bastard must have a death wish!

”Y-Ye—no, Gr-Grand Young Master, I... I was wrong...” Li Yan stammered, collapsing prostrate. He had tried to kneel, but his limbs had turned to jelly from terror. Shaking uncontrollably, he pleaded, ”Spare my life, Grand Young Master! Spare this worthless dog’s life! I’ll never dare to do it again, never! Please, I’m begging you...” He began to kowtow desperately on the ground.

”When you do wrong, you must accept the punishment.”

Ye Xiu waved his hand indifferently. Three tiny grains of sand from the ground shot out, piercing the foreheads of Li Yan and the two remaining Eighth Grade Grandmasters.

”No—”

The three let out a final, hoarse cry of despair, regret, and unwillingness before their consciousness faded into nothingness.

Ye Xiu gently placed the urns on the ground. He then knelt before them and kowtowed three times.

”Mom, Grandpa, Grandma,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. ”I’m so sorry. I caused your deaths, and now I’ve failed to protect your peace even after death. I’ve been unfilial...”

From afar, Kuroki Suzu watched the scene, a wave of pity washing over her. She recalled what she had heard about his past from ten years ago.

A Divine Doctor, one of the greatest of his generation, whose only goal starting out was to save the sick and injured. Yet he was framed, his family was brutally killed, and he was forced to flee overseas. A life like that... the word ’tragic’ doesn’t even begin to cover it.
