Medical and Martial God

At these words, the expressions of Sang Qiuyu and the others changed drastically. Ye Xiu is in serious trouble now, they thought.

Ye Xiu turned his head and saw a tall, burly old man with fiery red hair and dark green skin striding toward them with his head held high. Following behind him were the Eight Great National Protector War Gods, the Second Realm War Gods from the thirteen non-affiliated families, and a few other people he didn’t recognize.

”Are you the master of Qing Luan and the other seven?” Ye Xiu asked calmly, though his heart skipped a beat in surprise.

The master of the Eight Great National Protector War Gods is actually a Sixth Realm War God. Not a Pseudo Sixth Realm like Meng Yinwan, but a genuine one who reached this level by absorbing Spiritual Energy! But this man has clearly been cultivating with Poisonous Spiritual Energy. He’s so deeply poisoned that his skin has turned dark green. He looks like a slimmed-down Hulk wearing a red wig!

”That’s right. My name is Yan Long!” This thin, punk-rock version of the Hulk, Yan Long, walked right up to Ye Xiu. Standing over 1.9 meters tall, he looked down at him and spoke in a cold voice, ”You managed to get past the guards at the entrance and easily knocked out my men from a distance. I can see you’re a formidable martial artist. It’s rare to see someone so young with such a high level of cultivation. However, you trespassed on a restricted military area and attacked my men, so you must be punished.”

Ye Xiu frowned at his words. Everyone in Xuanse’s Official Family knows who I am, and they all know I’m Huang Quan. Why is Yan Long acting like he doesn’t recognize me?

Seeing that Yan Long was about to punish Ye Xiu without even asking who he was, Qing Luan hurriedly tried to introduce him. ”Master, he is—”

”Shut up!” Yan Long cut her off. He showed his disciple no respect in front of so many people, stating coldly, ”I don’t care who he is. Anyone who strikes my men must be punished.”

His attitude was tyrannical and unreasonable, yet fiercely protective of his own.

”Master, he’s not an outsider! He’s an instructor in my Red Flame Army,” Qing Luan said, bracing herself to defy her master’s order. She spoke especially fast this time, afraid she would be interrupted again.

”So what if he’s an instructor for the Red Flame Army? Knowingly breaking the law only makes the crime worse. The penalty is death!” Yan Long declared harshly, passing judgment on the spot.

Hearing this, Qing Luan felt a pang of regret so sharp it was like her insides were turning green. She had meant to help Ye Xiu, but instead, she had made things worse for him. Just as she was about to try and persuade her master again, Yan Long shot her a glare.

”Qing Luan, you are my disciple,” he said coldly. ”You should be upholding my dignity and the rules I’ve set. Yet here you are, siding with an outsider. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare expel you from my tutelage?”

Qing Luan was left speechless.

Satisfied that he had silenced his disciple, Yan Long looked down at Ye Xiu condescendingly. ”You’re an instructor for the Red Flame Army, so I’ll grant you a dignified death. Kill yourself.”

Ye Xiu was so aggravated by this man that he almost laughed. ”You’ve just been appointed and need to establish your authority, I get that. But as a member of the Official Family, you’re the one truly breaking the law by skipping due process to take someone’s life. You are the one arbitrarily trampling on the law.”

”I told you to kill yourself!” Yan Long roared, his eyes wide as he completely dismissed Ye Xiu’s words.

This man is a brute, completely unfit for leadership... Ye Xiu took a deep breath to suppress his rising anger and said coldly, ”I am a citizen of Xuanse, and I plan to live in Jin Ye City for the rest of my life. I suggest you don’t provoke me.” These were his heartfelt words, as he genuinely did not want to clash with Yan Long.

”I will say this one last time: kill yourself!” Yan Long’s anger flared. ”If you don’t do it yourself,” he continued coldly, ”I don’t mind stepping in. But I promise you, your death will be far from dignified!”

When Yan Long issued his final ultimatum, the martial artists from the Official Family, led by the Eight Great National Protector War Gods, and the members of the thirteen non-affiliated families all grew tense. A battle between Huang Quan and Yan Long is the last thing we want to see! But judging by Yan Long’s stance, it looks like he’s determined to kill Ye Xiu today, no matter what!

”You will regret this!” Ye Xiu said, fighting back the impulse to crush Yan Long. Leaving those words behind, he turned and ran.

”This...” Qing Luan and the others were dumbfounded.

Huang Quan... fled? My god! Huang Quan, the Curved Saber Butcher who had struck fear across the globe for a decade, was actually fleeing? For a moment, they all stared at each other in disbelief. Before, when Yan Long had bragged that even Huang Quan was no match for him, everyone thought he was just boasting. After all, Huang Quan had never been defeated.

But now... Huang Quan had actually run away!

Clearly, Huang Quan sensed Yan Long’s power and knew he was outmatched, so he fled without a fight.

”Trying to run?” Yan Long snorted and waved his hand. ”Bring him back!”

Instantly, a young man behind him dashed off in pursuit while the others remained where they were. However, when the young man got outside Zhaolu Farm, he saw a sports car already speeding away into the distance and gave up the chase.

At that moment, in the car, a dazed Gong Jin was driving. ”Young Master, what kind of Primordial Beast could have possibly scared you into running away like that?”

”I don’t want to clash with Xuanse’s Official Family using my identity as Ye Xiu,” he explained while pulling the Huang Quan Suit out of his backpack. As he quickly changed, he added, ”But I can’t just swallow this insult. Pull the car over. I’m going back to beat up that green giant.”

Gong Jin was speechless. So he had run off just to get to the car and change his clothes. She immediately pulled over.

Once dressed in the Huang Quan Suit, Ye Xiu got out and bolted back toward Zhaolu Farm, moving as fast as lightning.

The young man who had chased him jogged back to Yan Long. ”Master, he drove off in a sports car. He was too fast; I couldn’t catch up.”

”Useless!” Yan Long slapped the young man across the face. ”You can’t even handle a simple task like this? What good are you to me? If you fail me again, I’ll cripple your Martial Prowess and expel you from my tutelage.”

”Yes, yes, of course!” The young man was so frightened he fell silent, nodding meekly as a cold sweat broke out on his brow.

Meanwhile, Qing Luan and the others were stunned into confusion once more. Huang Quan fled in a car? It seems he really was scared of Yan Long, to the point of completely disregarding his own image.

Just then, a chilling voice laced with murderous intent echoed through the air. ”Yan Long, what an impressive temper you have!”

The next moment, Qing Luan and the others saw Huang Quan appear right in front of Yan Long.

They were completely baffled again. Didn’t he run away? How did he get back here, and why is he in the Huang Quan Suit?

Then, in an instant, they understood.

Ye Xiu didn’t want to reveal his strength. That’s why he ”fled”—to change into his Huang Quan Suit and come back to settle the score with Yan Long.
