Medical and Martial God

After dinner, Ye Xiu went out.

Kristina had heard about ’Lei Xiaoming’ boasting ”let’s meet tomorrow night,” so she didn’t stop Ye Xiu, nor did she ask where he was going.

In her view, ’Lei Xiaoming’ was surely going to use himself as bait to kill the members of the Zhuge Family, Gongsun Family, and Sha Family.

The beautiful butler saw Ye Xiu off at the door with a despondent expression.

Ye Xiu left the Purple Bamboo Garden, intending first to assassinate the members of the Zhuge Family, Gongsun Family, and Sha Family, before treating Lei Busi later that night.

In his opinion, since it was planned, the Zhuge Family, Gongsun Family, and Sha Family would certainly send a large number of killers tonight.

”Why do I suddenly have this tingling feeling of foreboding?”

Ye Xiu pondered as he walked.

Suddenly!

A huge sense of crisis washed over him like a tide.

Ye Xiu quickly crouched, pretending to tie his shoelaces. At that instant, an arrow shot toward him at an alarming speed, grazing his hair and disappearing into the darkness, followed by a thunderous explosion echoing from the end of the street.

”Eighth Realm?”

Ye Xiu’s expression changed drastically.

From the speed of the arrow and the explosion sound, he accurately judged the assassin’s strength.

Ye Xiu’s mind raced!

In an instant, he deduced who the assassin was!

In the entire Royal City, there were only 7 individuals at the Eighth Realm, 6 belonging to the Official Family, and only 1 a civilian Eighth Realm War God.

Shen Yin!

Moreover, as Kristina’s father, Tu La, wrote in his notes, Shen Yin was an assassin who used a bow and arrow as his weapon.

”Come on, Lei Xiaoming is just at Fifth Realm War God level, why would the Zhuge Family, Gongsun Family, and Sha Family make such a big deal of it and invite Shen Yin?”

”Besides, didn’t Tu La say that Shen Yin is a loner, not even the three Judicator families could hire him? How did the Zhuge Family, Gongsun Family, and Sha Family manage to do it?”

Ye Xiu was frustrated; it wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid of Shen Yin, but he was now Lei Xiaoming.

No time to overthink!

Since Shen Yin missed his first shot, he must have a backup plan!

Ye Xiu quickly leaped over the wall, jumped into Purple Bamboo Garden, then activated the Earth System Totem to leave.

”Huh?”

On the rooftop of a high building 500 meters away, the black-clad, masked ’Shen Yin’ maintained his shooting posture, and exclaimed in surprise:

”That kid Lei Xiaoming is really lucky; his shoelaces just happened to come undone, so he bent down to tie them and dodged my fatal shot.”

”His response is quick too; sensing the enemy’s strength, he immediately returned to Purple Bamboo Garden.”

Shen Yin calmly put the ’Skyshaker Bow’ back into the box, preparing to leave.

In Shen Yin’s view, since Lei Xiaoming hid inside Purple Bamboo Garden, he wouldn’t dare come out for the rest of the night.

And since the Purple Bamboo Garden was the Princess’s residence, Shen Yin wouldn’t dare kill there.

”Since I started this career, I’ve never failed. I never expected Lei Xiaoming, such a minor figure, to ruin my record. Damn it!”

Shen Yin fiercely picked up the box, ready to leave, but as he turned around, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The box in his hand shattered violently, and the Skyshaker Bow reappeared in his hand.

Drawing the bow and aiming at the ’Lei Xiaoming’ who somehow appeared behind him!

”I clearly saw you jump into Purple Bamboo Garden; why are you here?”

Shen Yin squinted, asking coldly.

”You already have the answer, don’t you?” Ye Xiu smiled and replied with a question.

Shen Yin’s eyes sharpened: ”After you jumped into Purple Bamboo Garden, you immediately used the Earth System Totem’s Earth Escape Skill to get here?”

”That’s right!” Ye Xiu admitted straightforwardly.

The face behind Shen Yin’s mask showed shock, his eyes fierce:

”I was right, Lei Xiaoming was detected at birth without the ability to cultivate or inherit the Thunder System Totem, wasting 20 years, how could he suddenly awaken after being slapped by Gongsun Shu? It turns out, the Lei Xiaoming causing a storm these days isn’t the real Lei Xiaoming, who are you really?”

”Is knowing who I am useful to a dead man?” Ye Xiu’s face and voice turned cold.

”Hahaha!” Shen Yin laughed heartily: ”No one but the King controlling the Shocking God and Demon Formation has survived my arrows; you’re confident it seems, your strength looks good, but you’re definitely not my match—”

Poof!

Before finishing, Shen Yin suddenly saw Ye Xiu disappear from view.

In the next moment, Shen Yin felt someone clench the back of his neck.

”Mere Eighth Realm, how could you be so cocky, a frog in the well, so arrogant!” Ye Xiu mocked.

”You, you, you, are Ninth Realm?”

Shen Yin’s pupils shrunk to a point, his whole body tense as unprecedented fear and helplessness swept over him.

The next moment, he felt his martial prowess quickly being absorbed by the hand gripping the back of his neck.

His body started glowing with golden light as his Strength Totem was forcibly ripped from his ’Dao’ by a powerful and bizarre energy, and then absorbed by the hand gripping his neck.

”You can absorb others’ martial prowess and totems; who are you really?”

Shen Yin suddenly felt true fear, for the first time in his life.

”Go ask the King of Hell; I’m quite familiar with him. He can tell you who I am.”

Ye Xiu drained Shen Yin’s martial prowess and absorbed his Strength Totem, then crushed Shen Yin’s neck, exterminating his Primordial Spirit.

”Zhuge Qingfeng, you’ve harmed me...”

Shen Yin fell to the ground, letting out a regretful roar the moment he lost consciousness.

Throughout his life, he was independent, solitary, never bound by rules, and even threats and inducements from the King and the three Judicator families didn’t sway him.

But due to a moment of greed, he agreed to help Zhuge Qingfeng snipe Lei Xiaoming, leading to his own demise.

”Oh? Seventh Stage Strength Totem?”

Ye Xiu checked Shen Yin’s Strength Totem absorbed into his body, exclaiming in delight.

Seventh Stage indicates Eighth Realm prowess!

Ye Xiu had indeed absorbed many totems, but the strongest was only Sixth Stage. This was his first to gain a Seventh Stage.

”Profit, profit, even if I can’t break the Shocking God and Demon Formation, this trip to Royal City wasn’t in vain.”

Ye Xiu happily picked up the Skyshaker Bow, and his excited expression immediately turned rigid on his face:

”This, this is the Skyshaker Bow?”

Long ago, Ye Xiu had heard of the Skyshaker Bow and became more familiar after reviewing the Weapons Manual at Sword Cottage.

The Skyshaker Bow is practically a Barrett sniper rifle of the cultivation world, a long-range divine weapon capable of sniping a War God.

”Lucky An Dongye.”

Divine weapons only unleash their power when given to the right person, and An Dongye, who loves covert attacks, is undoubtedly the perfect master for the Skyshaker Bow.

”However, I have to first use the Skyshaker Bow and Shen Yin’s identity to eliminate the Gongsun Family, Zhuge Family, and Sha Family.”

Ye Xiu quickly destroyed Shen Yin’s body, then activated the Earth System Totem, escaped underground, and headed straight for the Zhuge Family.
