Medical and Martial God

The moment Nangong Yue clashed with the two black-clad, masked men, her expression changed.

They were, to her astonishment, two Second Realm War Gods—the same level as her. Moreover, their swordsmanship was bizarre, and each of them seemed stronger than her. Against the two of them combined, she was completely outmatched.

It was only a matter of time before she was killed.

She could escape if she tried.

But she could not. If she fled, it would be her clansmen who died. Every moment she held on meant fewer of her clansmen would die.

It’s over. I’m surely going to die tonight. I never thought my goodbye to Brother Ye in the hotel parking lot would be our last.

A wave of sorrow, resentment, and despair surged through Nangong Yue’s heart.

It was not just Nangong Yue. Gu Meng and the others, along with every member of the Long Family and the Thirteen Vassal Families in the unfinished housing complex, had also lost all hope.

”Kill all the scum from Medicine King Valley!”

Just then, hundreds of shouts in various languages erupted from all around the complex.

Nangong Yue’s group of seven, as well as the members of the Long Family and the Thirteen Vassal Families inside, were all stunned.

Where did another group of people come from?

The black-clad, masked men sent by Ergouzi panicked. They suddenly realized the Long Family’s reinforcements might have arrived.

”Retreat! Retreat!” one of the men fighting Nangong Yue roared.

The two of them forced her back and turned to flee.

But as they turned, they saw a burly, two-meter-tall man with a full beard charging toward them like a tank, wielding two axes. Accompanying him was a shorter man swinging a two-meter greatsword and a woman running with a flirtatious gait.

The trio was incredibly powerful.

When they encountered the masked men slaughtering the Long Family members near the truck convoy, they took one down with every strike.

Clearly, all three were at least Second Realm War Gods.

”Leave no black-clad, masked men alive!” a cold voice commanded from behind the trio.

”Brother Ye!” Nangong Yue cried out with joyous surprise, so moved she almost burst into tears.

Just as she was facing certain death, Brother Ye had arrived with reinforcements.

”It’s him, let’s go!”

The two masked men, both First Realm War Gods, did not recognize Ye Xiu, but when they heard Nangong Yue call him ”Brother Ye,” they instantly guessed his identity.

They knew Ye Xiu was Huang Quan.

The two turned tail and bolted.

Faced with Huang Quan, they did not even have the courage to engage.

”Thinking of running now? Isn’t it a bit late?”

Ye Xiu, who had been behind Dongfang Dazhuang’s trio, had somehow appeared in front of them, right behind the two masked men.

Ye Xiu slapped the back of each masked man’s head.

SMACK! SMACK!

He knocked them unconscious, and they collapsed to the ground.

”Brother Ye...” Nangong Yue whispered, throwing herself into his arms with a blissful expression.

Ye Xiu was instantly mortified. Just as he was about to push her away, Dongfang Meili ran over and pulled Nangong Yue out of his embrace.

She said in a coquettish tone, ”You hussy, have some shame, will you? He has a wife.”

With that, she swayed her hips and ran off to kill the other black-clad, masked men.

Ye Xiu was speechless.

”Who was that woman just now?” Nangong Yue asked.

Ye Xiu’s mouth twitched. ”He’s a man.”

Nangong Yue gasped. ”A man more beautiful than I am?”

...

While the unfinished housing complex was under attack, the Long Family Manor was also assaulted by Jiang Yuan, who was leading an elite group from Medicine King Valley’s reformist faction.

However, the situation at the Long Family Manor was different. The Clan Leader had anticipated an attack from Medicine King Valley that night and had made thorough preparations.

Apart from Nangong Yue’s group of seven and the missing Tang Bo, all the First and Second Realm War Gods from the Long Family and the Thirteen Vassal Families were present at the Long Family Manor.

”It’s just past eleven, and the Long Family is already asleep?” Jiang Yuan said coldly as he led his men into the seemingly empty manor.

”Perfect. We’ll kill them all while they’re sleeping,” Jiang Linglong, her martial prowess now restored, said icily.

”Kill!” Jiang Yuan commanded.

At his order, the thirty-two people he had brought with him dispersed, ready to strike.

Just then, members of the Long Family and the Thirteen Vassal Families, who had been hiding outside the manor walls, vaulted over and swarmed in.

”I’ve been waiting for you, you dogs from Medicine King Valley!” the Clan Leader snarled through clenched teeth. ”Kill them! Leave none alive!”

Instantly, a massive force of nearly two thousand people charged toward Jiang Yuan’s group from all directions.

”This is bad! Long Tianba was prepared! Retreat!” Jiang Yuan’s face went pale as he hastily gave the order. He recognized all the First and Second Realm War Gods from the Long Family and the Thirteen Vassal Families. It seemed they were all here.

Against so many experts, his men stood no chance.

”There are too many of them! We can’t escape!” Jiang Linglong cried out anxiously.

Jiang Yuan saw it too. With nearly two thousand people surrounding their small group of thirty-three, escape was nearly impossible.

He said coldly, ”Then we fight. We fight until they’re paralyzed with fear.”

With that, he activated his Totem power and charged directly at the Clan Leader.

”Kill!”

Jiang Linglong and the other thirty-two fighters launched their own attack, their faces contorted with crazed determination.

Of the thirty-two people Jiang Yuan had brought, twenty were First Realm War Gods and ten were Second Realm War Gods. The remaining two were his son, Jiang Hai, and his grandson, Jiang He. Like Jiang Yuan, they had both awakened the Medicine King Valley’s Totem, making them Third Realm War Gods.

In contrast, the Long Family and the Thirteen Vassal Families had only First and Second Realm War Gods, with no one from the Third Realm. This was Jiang Yuan’s advantage.

...

「Back at the unfinished housing complex...」

With the help of Ye Xiu, Dongfang Dazhuang, Dongfang Erlang, Dongfang Meili, and several hundred test subjects from the Fire Seed Company, the black-clad, masked men were quickly eliminated.

Even so, the Long Family and the Thirteen Vassal Families suffered hundreds of casualties. Most of the dead were from the Long Family, as they had been the primary targets.

”Take all the bodies of the masked men with you,” Ye Xiu ordered.

The hundreds of test subjects immediately complied.

”Nangong Yue, go and bring all the injured from the Thirteen Vassal Families to me. I’ll heal them,” Ye Xiu said.

Hearing this, Nangong Yue and her six companions were moved beyond words. Not only had Brother Ye brought reinforcements to save them, but his first thought afterward was to heal their people.

”Wait!”

Long Yihong strode over and commanded, ”You will heal the injured from the Long Family first.”

Nangong Yue and her six companions were instantly enraged. When there was food, the Long Family ate first. When people were injured, the Long Family was treated first. To the Long Family, the Thirteen Vassal Families were worse than pigs and dogs.

”Who are you? What gives you the right to order me around?” Ye Xiu asked.

”I am Long Yihong. My great-grandfather is the Long Family Clan Leader, so my orders are as good as his,” Long Yihong said, holding his head high with arrogance. ”Cut the crap and just do what I tell you.”

SLAP!

Ye Xiu raised his hand and slapped Long Yihong across the face. ”Kid, even your great-grandfather wouldn’t dare speak to me like that. Are you tired of living?”

The slap was incredibly satisfying for Nangong Yue and her six companions. They had long wanted to beat up Long Yihong but had never had the courage. Ye Xiu had done what they had always wanted to do but never dared. It was exhilarating, a massive relief.
