Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Chapter 215: "Ah!"

With that loud shout from Ye Tianchen, he sat naked in a large wooden tub, feeling a chill that seemed capable of freezing his marrow, already reaching his stomach.

If the Detoxification Herb continued to move, once it felt the new host was not suitable for it, it might go berserk. By that time, Ye Tianchen’s internal organs might shatter.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Six consecutive sounds were heard as thin streaks of golden light pierced from the inside out through the large wooden tub, all embedding in the wall.

Those were Golden Needles that Zhang Yide had sent invisibly into Ye Tianchen’s body with his Superpower, sealing several of his major acupoints.

Now that the Detoxification Herb had entered Ye Tianchen’s body, he naturally did not need the Golden Needles to seal the acupoints, as it would only prevent him from fully exerting his King Realm Superpower.

Upon hearing a loud shout inside the pharmacy, in the Zhang family’s courtyard, whether it was Murong Yudou and others, or the remaining three black-clad assassins, everyone couldn’t help but look towards the pharmacy, knowing that something must have changed inside.

Whoosh!

Another shadow rushed out, standing atop a large tree within the Zhang family’s courtyard, slightly hunched as if an old figure, his eyes looking fiercely at Zhang Yide and others, speaking in a chilling tone to the burly black-clad man:

"Even Murong Yudou can’t be killed, how can our North Star One Blade Style establish a foothold in China in the future? You go kill that boy in the pharmacy, I’ll take care of Murong Yudou..."

"Kill!"

The burly black-clad man snapped back to reality and also shouted, swinging his Japanese military sword to push Zhang Yide back, and rushed recklessly towards the pharmacy, the shout from Ye Tianchen made them sense something ominous, as if the Detoxification Herb was about to be neutralized.

Zhang Yide, quick and alert, no longer dared to hold back at this moment, unleashing his maximum combat power, almost instantaneously moving in front of the burly black-clad man. Being the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, he knew what Ye Tianchen’s shout meant.

This was a critical moment for Ye Tianchen in neutralizing the Detoxification Herb, and absolutely no one should disturb him, or he would surely die.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhang Yide had blocked the burly black-clad man, a shadow appeared in front, kicking towards Zhang Yide, making it impossible for him to dodge.

Bang!

This all happened too suddenly. With no possibility to dodge, Zhang Yide could only block with both hands, yet he was still kicked flying, showing just how strong the hunched black-clad figure who appeared last was—a freakishly powerful old man.

"Aren’t you going yet?"

The hunched black-clad man coldly said to the burly black-clad man.

The burly black-clad man, who had come to his senses, leapt directly onto the roof of the pharmacy. His Japanese military sword in his right hand gleamed eerily under the moonlight, and with a swift movement, he slashed open a large hole in the tiled roof, flipping into the air, right hand holding the sword and charging down.

"Xiao Xin!"

Murong Yudou saw the formidable burly black-clad man breaking in and realized his granddaughter Murong Xin was in danger. He prepared to rush into the pharmacy regardless of everything else.

"Grandfather!"

Murong Xin appeared at the doorway of the pharmacy, staring blankly at everything that suddenly happened, and when she saw her grandfather Murong Yudou, she couldn’t help but call out.

"Xiao Xin, come over to grandfather quickly, hurry!" Murong Yudou shouted.

Completely bewildered by the scene in the courtyard, Murong Xin quickly ran to her grandfather Murong Yudou’s side. She didn’t understand what was happening, the only thing she could remember was embracing and kissing Ye Tianchen naked, which was extremely embarrassing.

Also, she could no longer feel the bone-chilling cold inside her, it seemed like the Detoxification Herb had already left her body, but Murong Xin didn’t know where it had gone!

"Grandfather, I’m okay, Brother Ye he..."

Murong Xin suddenly remembered Ye Tianchen. When she had seen him just now, his face alternated between being as cold as frost, even his eyebrows frosted, and being hot as sun, as if about to burst into flames, he must have been in great pain.

"If you’re okay, that’s good. I believe that boy will be okay too!" Murong Yudou said.

Everyone is selfish, selfishness is human nature; it’s not that being considerate only towards oneself is selfish, any act that doesn’t consider others, outsiders, is selfish.

Murong Yudou, seeing his granddaughter Murong Xin was safe, was very happy; of course, he knew how dangerous Ye Tianchen was; he was trading his own life for his granddaughter Murong Xin’s.

However, at this moment Murong Yudou couldn’t care less. If Ye Tianchen really died, he would elevate the Ye family to become one of Capital City’s top-tier families—a compensation to Ye Tianchen, perhaps!

Murong Xin didn’t know what to do, although she was very worried about Ye Tianchen.

However, the situation was definitely not something a young girl like her could change; all she could do was pray inwardly, hoping that Ye Tianchen would be alright.

At that moment, Zhang Yide and the last to appear, a hunched figure in black, faced each other, less than five meters apart, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

This was a battle of life and death; no one dared to be careless.

"I didn’t expect China to still hide such a powerful Superpower User like you!"

The hunched figure in black looked at Zhang Yide, speaking in a deathly voice.

"Hmph, China’s strength isn’t just in Superpower Users, but also in experts from the Ancient Martial Sects. When your Northern Star Blade Sect fought our Chinese martial experts, you didn’t gain any advantages either!" Zhang Yide snorted disdainfully.

Zhang Yide, having been through war himself and being the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand as well as a powerful Superpower User, naturally knew some secrets of those times.

Back then, Japan invaded our China, and many experts from the Northern Star Blade Sect came to our land to shake the confidence of our five thousand years of martial arts and to undermine its foundations, while also stealing some training methods of Chinese Ancient Martial Arts.

In those brutally harsh times of war, China’s martial community also engaged in a major battle with Japan.

In these fair and unfair contests, there were winners and losers. It must be said, Japan’s Northern Star Blade Sect had incredibly strong blade skills, mainly very peculiar and often defying common logic. Only some experts from Ancient Martial Sects, accustomed to the unusual, managed to cope; ordinary people, however, would be utterly shocked upon seeing them.

Just like the burly man in black who had just wielded his Japanese military sword at full strength, casting a flurry of blade shadows that turned into reality, attacking Zhang Yide and even cutting through the air fiercely and dominantly.

If Zhang Yide hadn’t used his Superpower Steel Armor Skill at that crucial moment, he might have been utterly dismembered and turned into mincemeat.

"A person like you must die today, otherwise you will surely become a major threat to our Northern Star Blade Sect!"

The hunched figure in black made a very strange movement during speaking, stretching out his right hand toward Zhang Yide.

Zhang Yide instinctively became alert, activating all his Superpower. The aura from the hunched figure in black felt completely different to him; he was definitely more powerful than the burly man in black, otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared last or spoken in such a commanding tone to the burly man.

"Your Northern Star Blade Sect couldn’t defeat our Chinese martial arts in the past, and you won’t be able to in the future either!" Zhang Yide said righteously.

"Let’s try then!"

The hunched figure in black had barely finished speaking when he casually waved his right hand in the air, and abruptly, dozens of sharp blades appeared at his sides.

Each blade bore a skull, appearing extremely sinister, as if the skulls might burst out and devour someone at any moment with the waving of the blades.

"Come on!"

Zhang Yide shouted, and in front of his chest appeared a shield of steel armor, formed by his Gold Element Superpower Skill, incredibly tough with nothing known able to destroy it, at least until now, no technique or weapon had been able to break through Zhang Yide’s steel armor shield.

Boom!

Those eerie dozens of sharp knives, following a sweep of the hunched figure’s right hand, all rushed toward Zhang Yide with a whistling sound.

In that moment, Zhang Yide felt as though he could hear the ferocious screams of the skulls, the ferocious skulls on the dozen or so sharp knives seemed as though they had already lunged at him, attacking with shadows of the skeletons.

Boom, boom, boom, pfft...

Three sharp knives bearing skull marks were destroyed by Zhang Yide’s steel armor shield, but his shield also shattered. Meanwhile, the other sharp knives attacked with even more ferocious killing intent. Zhang Yide’s expression changed. He had never imagined that his steel armor shield, which had never been broken before, could be shattered by these seemingly ordinary Skull Blades.

While dodging, Zhang Yide’s left shoulder was struck by a Skull Blade, bursting into a cloud of blood mist; his entire left shoulder was pierced, and blood dripped steadily, looking extremely horrific.

At that time, the remaining seven Skull Blades were summoned back to the side of the hunched figure in black, whose eerie Skull Blades, as if possessed by Magic Power, struck out following the movements of the figure’s right hand, incredibly shocking and difficult to defend against.

"You are strong, but it’s unfortunate that you met me. Most importantly, you are even older and more decrepit than I am!" the hunched figure in black said coldly, looking at Zhang Yide.

Zhang Yide picked himself up from the ground, his left shoulder pierced by a Skull Blade, blood continuously dripping, yet he didn’t seem worried at all as he immediately placed his right hand over the wound on his left shoulder.

Gradually, Zhang Yide’s wound began to stop bleeding and even healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, stunning the hunched figure in black, who couldn’t help but frown in surprise.

This scene was truly miraculous, to think there was someone in the world with such strong self-healing abilities! (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support motivates me greatly.)
