Medical and Martial God

Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Borrowing a Sword for a Moment

Fearing Xu Zhiqiang would intervene, Jiao Fuping attacked with full force. He unleashed a fierce punch wrapped in the God of War’s Power, aiming directly at Ye Xiu’s head.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiqiang was furious. That bastard Jiao Fuping dared to intercept my enemy! He wanted to stop him but was too late.

As Jiao Fuping’s fist drew ever closer to Ye Xiu’s head, Ye Xiu seemed to be frozen in fear, standing motionless. Xu Zhiqiang knew Ye Liangchen was doomed.

Pang Ze and everyone else present shared the same thought. They all believed Ye Liangchen was doomed. After all, they knew Jiao Fuping possessed the strength of a War God. His sudden, unannounced, full-force attack left no possibility for Ye Liangchen to survive.

However, just as everyone thought Ye Xiu’s head would be blown apart by the punch, he tilted it slightly, effortlessly dodging the fatal blow. He then stepped forward with his left foot, bent his left arm, and drove a Baji Fist elbow strike into Jiao Fuping’s chest, sending him flying backward like a cannonball.

He soared back over ten meters before he could barely stabilize himself. A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Ye Xiu in shock.

”You, you’re actually a Martial Artist?”

Xu Zhiqiang and everyone else at the scene was completely dumbfounded.

Jiao Fuping is a War God, yet he was sent flying by a single move from Ye Liangchen. Could it be that Ye Liangchen is also a War God?

Pang Ze broke out in a cold sweat, incredibly relieved that Jiao Fuping had intercepted Ye Liangchen. If I had attacked Ye Liangchen while underestimating him, I would be the one sent flying and injured right now.

Meanwhile, Xu Zengshan, Long Xiaoyun, and Du Long wore satisfied smiles. They knew Jiao Fuping better than Xu Zhiqiang’s group. Although Jiao Fuping had launched a full-force surprise attack, it was not his strongest attack. Furthermore, Jiao Fuping didn’t know Ye Liangchen was a Martial Artist and had underestimated him, which was why Ye Liangchen could seize the opportunity to send him flying with a single blow. However, Ye Liangchen hadn’t used his full strength either, instead using Baji Fist, a common form of boxing.

Clearly, Ye Liangchen was very strong. But as to who was stronger between him and Jiao Fuping, they still favored Jiao Fuping. After all, Jiao Fuping was a member of the Medicine King Valley’s Main Lineage, while Ye Liangchen was merely a disciple of the Evil Doctor Nangong Lie. Nangong Lie was far inferior to Medicine King Valley in both Medical Skills and Martial Arts. Naturally, there would be a gap in strength between the disciples they trained.

”I underestimated you. Now, let me show you my true strength.”

Jiao Fuping quickly recovered and dashed toward Ye Xiu at full speed. Reaching for his waist, he drew a Fine Steel Soft Sword. With one thrust, the sword transformed into a myriad of shadows, enveloping Ye Xiu like dark clouds eclipsing the sun. This was Jiao Fuping’s strongest attack.

”Not good! Jiao Fuping is using one of Medicine King Valley’s strongest secret sword techniques, the Eclipse Sword Technique. Ye Liangchen is in danger!” The faces of Xu Zengshan and his two companions changed drastically. They rushed outside, intending to stop the tragedy before Jiao Fuping could kill Ye Liangchen.

Xu Zhiqiang and the others, who had never seen the Eclipse Sword Technique before, were dazzled by Jiao Fuping’s swordsmanship. In their eyes, the technique had immense lethality and was utterly flawless.

It’s over! This time, Ye Liangchen is truly doomed... everyone thought.

”Nice swordsmanship!”

Even Ye Xiu was momentarily impressed by the Eclipse Sword Technique. He retreated rapidly while waving his hand and shouting, ”Lend me your sword!”

A sword flew from the hands of a lean, middle-aged man and landed in Ye Xiu’s grasp. It was telekinesis, a skill all War God Level masters possessed, so it didn’t cause much of a stir.

However, Ye Xiu’s next actions shocked everyone.

With a sword in hand, his entire body moved like a graceful dragon, weaving and dodging through the dense barrage of Jiao Fuping’s sword strikes, emerging completely unscathed.

”This...”

Xu Zengshan and the other two, having rushed out of the mansion to stop Jiao Fuping, were stunned by the sight.

”The Traveling Dragon Sword Technique?”

”He really is Nangong Lie’s disciple.”

”Incredible. The Traveling Dragon Sword Technique can actually match the Eclipse Sword Technique. Nangong Lie is truly a genius.”

Xu Zengshan, Long Xiaoyun, and Du Long were shaken. Just then, they saw Ye Xiu’s figure suddenly become elusive. In an instant, countless afterimages of Ye Xiu appeared around Jiao Fuping. Each afterimage executed a different sword technique, and then, all at once, the numerous phantoms charged. Accompanied by a series of rapid metallic clashes, the real Ye Xiu appeared before Jiao Fuping.

Jiao Fuping knelt on one knee. His clothes suddenly burst open as his body became covered with a dense web of countless sword cuts, instantly turning him into a man drenched in his own blood.

”What kind of sword technique is this? Its power is so terrifying!” Xu Zengshan exclaimed.

”Too terrifying! This technique is simply dreadful,” Long Xiaoyun said in amazement. ”It’s so elusive and impossible to defend against. A single move left Jiao Fuping powerless to resist and covered his body with countless cuts. This is the strongest sword technique I have ever witnessed!”

”This move is too ruthless,” Du Long added, staring at Ye Xiu with eyes gleaming with greed for the technique. ”If Ye Liangchen had intended to kill him, Jiao Fuping would have been subjected to death by a thousand cuts.”

Xu Zhiqiang and the others were now petrified by Ye Xiu’s strength—or more precisely, by the final technique he had used. Such a brutal and bloody sword technique that mimicked a dismemberment struck fear deep into their hearts.

The short man, Pang Ze, felt his legs trembling uncontrollably. At that moment, he was intensely grateful that Jiao Fuping had intercepted Ye Liangchen. If I had been the one to face him, I would have been the one dismembered.

”Impossible... this is impossible!” Jiao Fuping looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Ye Xiu, unable to accept the painful reality. ”I am a core disciple of Medicine King Valley! How could I lose to some rogue from the martial world? Impossible!”

I came here to kill Ye Liangchen. In my eyes, he was nothing more than an ant. And yet, I’m the one he’s left in this pathetic state. What a lifelong shame!

Ye Xiu paid no attention to him, instead casting a cold gaze at the approaching Xu Zengshan and his companions. He feigned anger and said, ”Xu Zengshan, if you invited me here to have me killed, now is your chance.”

”Ahem, Ye Liangchen, you’ve misunderstood,” Xu Zengshan explained with an awkward laugh. ”I invited you over as a guest. How could I possibly make a move against you?”

Long Xiaoyun quickly added, ”We are very curious about the Traveling Dragon Sword Technique, so... well, we hope you can understand.”

Xu Zhiqiang and the others watched, dumbfounded, as Xu Zengshan and Long Xiaoyun offered embarrassing explanations to Ye Liangchen. These powerful figures are actually making excuses to Ye Liangchen? They’re giving him way too much face!

”I see,” Ye Xiu said, feigning enlightenment as he probed further. ”Since you have no hostility toward me, does that mean I have the authority to deal with this man who just tried to kill me?”

The way Xu Zhiqiang had treated Jiao Fuping already made Ye Xiu suspect that Medicine King Valley wasn’t allied with the Long Family. However, it was also possible that a junior like Xu Zhiqiang simply didn’t know about their relationship, so the responses from Xu Zengshan and Long Xiaoyun were crucial.
