Medical and Martial God

Ye Xiu remained calm, not turning his head, and continued to hold Jiaojiao as he walked towards the gate of Nanxi Villa, as if he didn’t notice the sword slicing behind him.

However, just as the sword, gleaming with a silver light, was about to reach within 10 centimeters of Ye Xiu’s nape, it seemed to strike an invisible wall and was blocked.

”A One-Sword Instant Kill?”

Ye Xiu then turned around, looking into the darkness in the distance, and asked:

”Are you Beigong Wudi?”

Only then did Kristina realize someone had attacked Ye Xiu. While disappointed that Ye Xiu wasn’t killed, upon hearing the name Beigong Wudi, she understood why the other party attacked Ye Xiu.

Hiding in the darkness, ’Southern Justice’, a shoo-in and senior brother of Beigong Wudi, was horrified.

Ye Xiu’s strength was terrifying, as he could block Beigong Wudi’s ultimate move merely by exuding energy.

Moreover, he revealed the attacker’s identity and the name of the ultimate move in one sentence.

”Mr. Ye, don’t misunderstand. My second junior brother, hearing I was defeated by you, didn’t quite believe it, so that’s why he made that sword attack. He means no harm.”

The shoo-in, ’Southern Justice’, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a haughty demeanor, walked out from the darkness, smiling as he explained.

Ye Xiu didn’t bother to argue and asked, ”Did you bring the Weapons Manual?”

”Yes!”

From his bag, he took out a very thick book, saying:

”After a high-level meeting at the Sword Cottage, it was decided that I could lend you the Weapons Manual, but there is a condition.”

Is this a case of taking advantage?

Ye Xiu raised an eyebrow, ”What condition?”

”Mr. Ye must participate in the Sword Cottage apprentice assessment seven days from now,” said Southern Justice.

Ye Xiu laughed, saying, ”Do you have anyone at Sword Cottage suitable to be my master?”

Southern Justice did not answer, saying, ”Mr. Ye, just say whether you agree or not.”

Ye Xiu thought for a moment, ”Alright, I’ll be there in seven days.”

Southern Justice smiled, handed the Weapons Manual to Ye Xiu, and said, ”I will lead everyone from the Sword Cottage to witness how Mr. Ye passes the Sword Cottage assessment in seven days.”

With that, he left with Beigong Wudi.

Ye Xiu didn’t take the Sword Cottage assessment seriously at all and entered Nanxi Villa with Jiaojiao and Kristina.

After sending Kristina back to the wooden building with the Trapping Formation set up, Ye Xiu returned to the room with Jiaojiao and said:

”It’s getting late, Jiaojiao, wash up and go to sleep.”

Jiaojiao patted her round belly and playfully said:

”Master, Jiaojiao is so full, can’t sleep. How about Master tells Jiaojiao a story to lull Jiaojiao to sleep?”

”Alright then!” Ye Xiu couldn’t bear to refuse.

After Jiaojiao finished washing up and lay in bed.

Ye Xiu began, ”Once upon a time, there was a mountain. In the mountain, there was a temple. In the temple, there was an old monk, who said to the young monk, ’Once upon a time, there was a mountain, in the mountain, there was a temple, in the temple, there was an old monk...’ ”

Jiaojiao, with her big, blinking eyes, looked at Ye Xiu and asked:

”Master, are you a repeater?”

Ye Xiu: ”...”

Just then, Ye Xiu suddenly received a text message from Ghost Shadow:

”Young master, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sect has reached out to Hell’s Gate and the Restorer Alliance, proposing cooperation. The Heavenly Sect Leader has now unraveled the formation you set at the ’Subway Entrance’ on Phoenix Perch Island. Currently, all members of Hell’s Gate, Heavenly Sect, and the Restorer Alliance are rushing towards King Island at full speed. Their vanguard units are expected to reach King Island by noon tomorrow at the latest.”

After reading the message, Ye Xiu was genuinely shocked. The fact that the Heavenly Sect Leader could break the formation he set didn’t make him simple!

But Hell’s Gate, Heavenly Sect, and the Restorer Alliance coming to King Island at this time would affect his plans.

He thought for a moment!

Ye Xiu sent a text message to Meng Yinwan:

”The Yue Family experts will arrive in Tiger City tomorrow. Ambush them halfway!”

By that time, all members of Hell’s Gate and the Restorer Alliance had entered the underground passage through the ’Subway Entrance’ on Phoenix Perch Island.

The Heavenly Sect Leader, leading the Heaven’s Gate Assassins, was responsible for guarding the rear, and after everyone had entered the underground passage, the Heavenly Sect Leader would set up a formation to block the ’Subway Entrance’, preventing the Eternal Kingdom army on Phoenix Perch Island from pursuing.

Of course, the reason for letting Hell’s Gate and the Restorer Alliance go first was mainly that the Heavenly Sect Leader didn’t want them to know the details and numbers of Heavenly Sect.

At this point, the upper echelons of Hell’s Gate and the Restorer Alliance were rushing ahead, showing no intention of waiting for the weaker ones behind.

They intended to reach King Island first.

”Hmm?”

Then Meng Yinwan received a text message from Ye Xiu, puzzled:

”Ye Xiu sent me a message.”

All the top officials of Hell’s Gate and the Restorer Alliance paused.

The leader of Hell’s Gate said, ”Quickly, see what Ye Xiu said.”

Meng Yinwan opened the message and read aloud, ”The Yue Family experts will arrive in Tiger City tomorrow. Ambush them halfway!”

After hearing it, the top officials of Hell’s Gate and the Restorer Alliance inhaled sharply.

From Ye Xiu’s message, it seemed he knew they were on their way to King Island and even calculated the time the vanguard units from Hell’s Gate and the Restorer Alliance would reach King Island.

”It seems that Ye Xiu or Huang Quan has planted intelligence personnel on Phoenix Perch Island.”

The leader of Hell’s Gate said seriously:

”Ask him which route the Yue Family experts are taking to Tiger City and what transportation they’re using.”

Meng Yinwan immediately sent a text inquiry.

Ye Xiu: ”They’re taking a high-speed train.”

This was actually Ye Xiu’s guess.

But it was a reasoned guess, since when airplanes were unavailable, the Yue Family experts wouldn’t drive to Tiger City, because the train is much faster than driving.

Of course, it’s not ruled out that the Yue Family experts might drive themselves.

”Why should we follow Ye Xiu’s command?”

Meng Yinwan was displeased, saying:

”Thinking about how he used the Trapping Formation to trap us on Phoenix Perch Island, causing countless deaths, and sent tens of thousands from the Restorer Alliance to Dream Island to die, I could just kill him.”

It wasn’t just Meng Yinwan. Everyone from Hell’s Gate and the Restorer Alliance wished they could carve Ye Xiu into pieces.

The Hell’s Gate Leader took a deep breath and said:

”The Sect Leader is right; the enemy of my enemy is an ally.”

”The strength of the three Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom is potent. Even if Hell’s Gate, the Restorer Alliance, Heavenly Sect, and the descendants of prisoners band together, we might not be a match for them. If we start infighting, the three Judicator Families will wipe us out.”

”Let’s wait until after we defeat the three Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom to kill Ye Xiu!”

Meng Yinwan didn’t respond. She’s not a brainless vase, aware that only by joining forces can they possibly eliminate the three Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom.

But she was furious and wanted Ye Xiu dead!

...

Early the next morning, Wei Mingli, the City Lord of Tiger City, showed up to deliver breakfast to Ye Xiu, Jiaojiao, and Kristina.

He saw Jiaojiao awkwardly practicing swordsmanship.

While Ye Xiu sat beside her reading a book.

”This, is that the Weapons Manual?”

When Wei Mingli saw what book Ye Xiu was reading, he was stunned and said:

”The Weapons Manual is a secret treasure of the Sword Cottage, never shown to outsiders. Even at the Sword Cottage, only a few have access to it. The King himself visited, wanting to borrow it, but the Sword Cottage didn’t allow it.”

”It’s said the three Judicator Families also wanted to see it, but the Sword Cottage didn’t allow it.”

”Brother Ye, how did you get your hands on it?”

Ye Xiu glanced up at Wei Mingli, ”Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen anything like it.”
