Medical and Martial God-Chapter 366: Pretended to Know

"Now you see how formidable Ba Dao is, don’t you? Scram before you embarrass yourselves any further!" Shen Songshan jeered, striking a sycophantic pose as he mocked the severely injured Martial Artists of Qi Yun Dao slumped on the ground. His smug arrogance made it seem as if he were the one who had gravely injured them with a single shout.

"A bunch of ants dare to obstruct Ba Dao from killing Ye Xiu? How many lives do you think you have?" Shen Qilin kicked Xu Tingbai twenty meters away before turning to kick the others.

"Get lost, all of you! Don’t get in the way of Ba Dao killing Ye Xiu," Shen Songshan yelled, joining the kicking spree.

Before long, the father and son duo had kicked all the Martial Artists of Qi Yun Dao and Xia Xue’s waitstaff far into the distance. Only then did Shen Songshan speak fawningly, "Aoki, no one is here to disturb you now. Hurry up and kill Ye Xiu."

Delays could bring unforeseen complications... he added silently.

Ba Dao ignored Shen Songshan, looking at Ye Xiu in surprise. "No wonder you dared to send someone to Sang Jing to curse me. It turns out that at such a young age, you’ve already surpassed the strength of a War God. In terms of talent, in the last five hundred years, you are second only to me."

Since Ye Xiu was the only one besides Shen Songshan and his son who wasn’t injured by his shout, Ba Dao easily deduced his strength.

"A pity that such a talent must be buried under my blade today." Ba Dao’s right hand gripped the hilt of his blade, his aura surging like a tiger awakening from sleep.

Ye Xiu frowned. It seemed a battle with Ba Dao today was inevitable. So be it. He would have to kill him. It was just a shame about the hundreds of billions.

"Killing you will only take one strike!" Ba Dao’s aura finally peaked as his right hand slowly drew the blade.

"With sword in hand, I ask the world: who is the true hero?"

Just then, a voice brimming with arrogance and contempt for the world rang out. Upon hearing it, Ye Xiu cursed inwardly. He didn’t even need to look to know who had arrived.

Looking toward the source of the voice, he saw, sure enough, the back of a long-haired, white-robed figure holding a sword while standing atop Guanyin Tower. It was indeed Dong Fangbai, the one who had kill-stolen the king, then leaped away and evaded Leng Yue’s pursuit.

Is he here to hijack another kill?

"Who are you?" Ba Dao stared at Dong Fangbai’s back in shock. He hadn’t even noticed his arrival.

Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin’s hearts skipped a beat. Did Ye Xiu actually bring backup?

"Had I, Dong Fangbai, not been born, Xuanse would be trapped in an endless night!" Dong Fangbai boasted proudly.

How arrogant... The word simultaneously surfaced in the minds of Ba Dao, Shen Songshan, and Shen Qilin.

Ye Xiu chuckled. Does this guy only have these two lines in his show-off repertoire?

"Dong Fangbai?" Ba Dao mulled over the unfamiliar name before asking coldly, "Are you here to stop me from killing Ye Xiu?"

"Ye Xiu doesn’t have the status to be worthy of my blade. I’m here to kill you," Dong Fangbai declared, his back still turned to the crowd, oozing a self-important air. He felt incomparably cool and handsome.

Ye Xiu nodded. This guy really is a master of posturing.

Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin nearly burst out laughing. Shen Songshan said, "Kid, arrogance comes with a price. That is Ba Dao, invincible for nearly a hundred years. I advise you not to meddle, or this day next year will be the anniversary of your death."

Shen Qilin added, "You reckless fool. You must not know how formidable Ba Dao truly is, do you?"

"The one I came to kill *is* Ba Dao!" Dong Fangbai declared imposingly.

Ba Dao grew angry. "Since you’re courting death, come down and die." With that, he fiercely drew his blade. Instantly, a curved arc of Dao Mang slashed toward Dong Fangbai. This ranged attack alone was enough to shock the Shen father-son duo and the Qi Yun Dao Martial Artists. Such a nearly corporeal Dao Mang was something few in the world could produce.

As expected of Ba Dao.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Dong Fangbai, wondering how many moves he could withstand against Ba Dao.

Only Ye Xiu’s focus was elsewhere. The Demon Blade? His eyes blazed, his breath quickening as he stared at the plain long blade in Ba Dao’s hand.

The Demon Blade was rumored to be Sang Jing’s number one Divine Weapon, though it could also be called a demonic or evil weapon due to its truly sinister nature. Throughout history, all who possessed this blade met with dreadful fates, either committing suicide by disembowelment or being decapitated by the blade itself, thus earning it the name Demon Blade. Some said it was cursed, and Ye Xiu had always wanted to confirm if this was true, but he had searched for years without finding it. And now, it was in Ba Dao’s hand.

"Ba Dao, you look down on me!"

At that moment, Dong Fangbai’s pretentious voice drew Ye Xiu’s attention. Dong Fangbai had actually dodged Ba Dao’s Dao Mang attack.

"Not bad. You are worthy of fighting me!" Ba Dao leaped up onto Guanyin Tower to battle Dong Fangbai.

It wasn’t until then that Ye Xiu got a clear look at Dong Fangbai. Damn, this guy is actually wearing makeup. How flamboyant. He appeared to be nearly forty, with the handsome features of a typical fair-faced scholar. His brow was etched with an arrogant self-confidence, and he looked down his nose at Ba Dao even as they engaged in fierce combat.

"This man is quite skilled, but the gap between him and Ba Dao is still vast. He will surely die by Ba Dao’s hand in thirty moves at most," Shen Songshan remarked with his sharp eye.

"Once he’s dead, no one will be able to save Ye Xiu," Shen Qilin jeered at Ye Xiu.

"In that case," Ye Xiu said with a humorless laugh, "I suppose I’ll have to take care of you two first."

The expressions on Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin changed drastically. Only now did they realize that with Ba Dao preoccupied with Dong Fangbai, Ye Xiu was free to kill them.

"Aoki, Aoki, Ye Xiu’s going to kill us..." Shen Songshan shouted, but he saw that Dong Fangbai was fighting on the retreat, luring Ba Dao farther and farther away.

This terrified Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin. Without Ba Dao’s protection, they were mere playthings in Ye Xiu’s hands.

"Elder Xu, Elder Xia, follow me now!" Ye Xiu had no time to deal with the Shen father and son at that moment. He called out to Xu Tingbai, Xia Dehe, and the others, grabbed Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin, and was the first to rush down the mountain. He was worried that if Ba Dao killed Dong Fangbai and returned, he would have no choice but to face him.

It was then that the Qi Yun Dao Martial Artists realized that if they didn’t leave now, they never would. Supporting one another and carrying Xia Xue and the others, they followed Ye Xiu down the mountain.

"Aoki, Aoki, Ye Xiu is escaping..." howled Shen Songshan, still being carried by Ye Xiu.

"Yell again and I’ll snap your neck," Ye Xiu snarled.

Shen Songshan fell silent.

The group ran wildly down the mountain. At the base, Ye Xiu instructed the waiting Qi Yun Dao Martial Artists to go home. He then brought the clan leaders of the Ancient Martial Families and the sect leaders from Qi Yun Dao to the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

"Elder Xia, do you have an earpick?" Ye Xiu asked as soon as they entered.

"I do!" Xia Dehe replied, retrieving an earpick, though he had no idea what Ye Xiu wanted it for.

Ye Xiu casually sealed the Martial Prowess of Shen Songshan and his son, dragged them to a corner of the courtyard, handed the earpick to Shen Songshan, and brought over a large bucket. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He ordered, "You have one hour to fill this bucket with soil using the earpick. If you don’t, I’ll kill you."

Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin stared at the tiny earpick, then at the bucket that stood half as tall as a person, and immediately fell into despair.

This... Forget an hour, we couldn’t fill this in an entire day!
