Medical and Martial God

Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Shen Songshan Kneels and Begs for Mercy

Shen Songshan was genuinely terrified!

With a thousand-year legacy, the Shen Family had amassed countless Martial Arts Classics, and as a result, his breadth of knowledge was extraordinary.

Across the entire world, few had more insight into martial arts than he did.

Yet, he had never seen or even heard of such a terrifying swordsmanship. A single slash unleashed a torrent of Sword Qi that swept through the air. The power of each individual strand was far beyond anything he could withstand.

Moreover, the countless strands of Sword Qi seemed to have eyes of their own. They targeted only his and Shen Qilin’s right arms, not harming any other part of their bodies in the slightest.

Such swordsmanship was nothing short of horrifying!

”What should this sword technique be called?” Ye Xiu mused aloud before answering his own question. ”The Dabao Heavenly Sword.”

Shen Songshan: ”...”

Shen Qilin: ”...”

Shen Monong, Shen Shijie, and Shen Shicheng: ”...”

Heh! A lack of culture is truly terrifying!

At that moment, Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin suddenly realized that Ye Xiu had been playing with them from the very beginning.

”Alright, game over. Let’s talk business,” Ye Xiu said. He waved his hand, and the cell door slammed shut with a boom.

”Spare me...” Seeing this, Shen Shicheng dropped to his knees with a thud and wailed, thinking Ye Xiu was about to kill them all.

”Oh? You’ve got quite the will to live,” Ye Xiu chuckled. He walked over to Shen Shicheng and lifted the man’s chin with the tip of his boot. ”Weren’t you so smug when you kicked me into this cell? And when you walked in just now? Why so scared all of a sudden? Come on, pull yourself together. Don’t make me look down on you.”

Shen Shicheng’s teeth chattered uncontrollably, and his entire body trembled in an exaggerated fashion.

”What are you afraid of? Smile,” Ye Xiu commanded. ”If you don’t smile, I’ll stab you to death.”

Shen Shicheng forced a grin. ”Hehe...”

”Louder.”

”HAHAHA...”

”Good, just like that. Go face the corner and keep laughing. You’re not allowed to stop until I say so.”

Shen Shicheng scrambled over to the corner, faced the wall, and began to laugh hysterically. The metallic cell amplified the sound, and his laughter echoed around them, creating a profoundly eerie atmosphere.

The expressions on Shen Songshan, Shen Qilin, and Shen Monong’s faces turned hideous. Watching Ye Xiu humiliate Shen Shicheng, they could almost see how he would humiliate them next.

”Shen Monong.” Ye Xiu’s gaze fell upon her.

”Ah!” she cried out in fear.

”Don’t be afraid. As I said before, your father saved both himself and you. For his sake, I won’t do anything to you.” Ye Xiu squatted down, gently caressing her pretty face as he consoled her. ”But this is the last time. If you still have any thoughts of killing me, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

”You can rest assured, Divine Doctor Ye! I promise, Monong will never work undercover against you again,” Shen Shijie quickly guaranteed on her behalf.

Shen Monong remained silent. Her hatred for Ye Xiu wasn’t for the sake of the Shen Family. It stemmed from two things: first, that Shen Shijie had been captured because of him, and second, she resented him for not returning her affections.

But now, she suddenly realized she had been approaching things with him all wrong. If she had staunchly stood by Ye Xiu from the beginning, not only would he have helped her rescue Shen Shijie, but over time, he might have even grown to like her.

”You two can leave now. Don’t tell anyone what happened here,” Ye Xiu said.

”Yes, of course.” Shen Shijie quickly helped Shen Monong up and started to leave. As he reached the door, he turned and said, ”Divine Doctor Ye, if you have time, please stop by my gallery for tea. We can exchange some thoughts on painting.”

”Alright,” Ye Xiu nodded.

After Shen Monong and her father had left, Ye Xiu turned his attention to Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin. ”Now, it’s your turn.”

”What... what do you plan to do to us?” Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin’s hearts leaped into their throats.

”Even tearing you limb from limb wouldn’t be enough to quench the hatred in my heart,” Ye Xiu’s expression turned ferocious as he spoke through gritted teeth. ”Ten years ago, I had no quarrel with the Shen Family. I didn’t even know you existed. Yet, you went to great lengths to destroy me, and you were responsible for the deaths of my mother and my grandparents. With such a deep-seated blood feud, how do you think I should repay the Shen Family?”

”The Long Family forced me to do it...” Shen Songshan tried to deflect Ye Xiu’s anger onto them.

”Bullshit!” Ye Xiu cut him off, roaring, ”I have all the files from your computer, including the diary you kept back then. When the head of the Long Family proposed to destroy me, you fought off all opposition to take the task for yourself. After you succeeded, you even wrote in your diary, gloating about your great achievement...”

Shen Songshan fell silent. Knowing that Ye Xiu had all his computer files, anything he said now would be useless.

”Have you ever experienced what it’s like to lose the people you care about most?” Ye Xiu walked over to Shen Qilin, pressing the rusty Bronze Sword against his heart as he coldly questioned Shen Songshan.

Shen Qilin’s heart instantly felt like it would burst from his chest.

”Don’t!” Shen Songshan panicked. Shen Qilin was the person he cherished most, his beloved son. He couldn’t imagine the pain he would suffer if Shen Qilin died. He dropped to his knees with a thud and pleaded, ”Ye Xiu, every mistake was mine, all mine! Please, spare Qilin! If you must kill or maim someone, let it be me!”

”Promise me one thing, and I’ll spare Shen Qilin’s life today,” Ye Xiu said coldly.

”Tell me, tell me...” Shen Songshan latched onto his words like a drowning man grabbing for a final straw.

”Help me kill Gun God,” Ye Xiu stated.

”Okay!” Shen Songshan agreed without a moment’s hesitation. ”Tell me, what do I need to do?”

Ye Xiu leaned in and whispered his plan into Shen Songshan’s ear.

”No problem. I’ll do exactly as you say,” Shen Songshan promised repeatedly.

Ye Xiu knelt and began treating Shen Songshan’s injuries. ”Remember,” he said, ”not a single word about what happened in this cell today gets out. If even one word is leaked, I’ll chop off the arms and legs of everyone in the Shen Family and send you all out to beg on the streets in wheelbarrows.”

”Yes, yes, of course...” Shen Songshan nodded again and again.

Ye Xiu said no more. After treating the injuries of both Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin, he left the cell.

Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin collapsed onto the floor in a heap. In the corner, Shen Shicheng’s hysterical laughter finally sputtered to a stop.

”Dad, why is Ye Xiu so strong?” Shen Qilin asked.

”I don’t know,” Shen Songshan replied, shaking his head.

There was something he didn’t say. He suspected that Ye Xiu’s medical skills and martial arts all came from the dragon-shaped pattern on his left arm. Although he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he was absolutely certain that Ye Xiu must have such a pattern on his left arm. He just couldn’t comprehend why possessing this dragon-shaped pattern would grant someone unparalleled medical skills and terrifying strength. What in the world was this dragon-shaped pattern?

”Let’s not worry about why Ye Xiu is so strong for now,” Shen Qilin said. ”Dad, are you really going to help Ye Xiu kill Gun God?”

”Absolutely not!” Shen Songshan snorted. His eyes narrowed sinisterly. ”I’ll tell Gun God about Ye Xiu’s plan and let him catch Ye Xiu completely by surprise.”

Shen Qilin’s eyes lit up. ”Doesn’t that mean Ye Xiu is as good as dead?”

”Gun God is confident he can kill even Huang Quan,” Shen Songshan said with a vicious smile. ”Killing Ye Xiu will be a piece of cake.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the cell door suddenly swung open, and a cold-faced Ye Xiu walked back in.
