The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 399 - : Chen Family, I am Here!
Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Chen Family, I am Here!
Am I unsuitable to take action?
Faced with Huang Xiaolong’s question, the Sun family members quickly responded. “No, no~~~”
However, their expressions showed signs of incredulity.
Some members of the Sun family had witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s prowess at the charity auction banquet of the four major families.
Defeating Sun Feng with one move, overwhelming Lin Zicong with his spear skills, and speaking confidently in front of Lin Jianfeng, he was always calm and composed…
One could say that these abilities were something ordinary people could only look up to in admiration for their entire life. Moreover, his performance had the taste of a master producing a high-level disciple.
But!
The enemy this time was an ancient martial arts grandmaster!
A sword using the captured wind, breaking people from afar!
A casual wave of a hand could unleash a force of thousands of pounds, capable of shattering even a metal man!
Even though Huang Xiaolong was considered the ‘true disciple’ of that ‘senior’, he was only of similar age to Sun Wei. Even if he had been practicing ancient martial arts from his mother’s womb, he could not possibly be a match for a grandmaster!
If Huang Xiaolong went to Jiangnan city with the Sun family, to put it bluntly, encountering his enemies would be akin to courting death!
The best course of action would be to ask Huang Xiaolong’s ‘master’ to personally take action to deal with this matter, which would afford some room for maneuver!
However, out of respect, the members of the Sun family found it hard to say this directly for fear of offending Huang Xiaolong.
“Hmph~ You are strong, I’m no match for you, but this opponent can almost be considered a terrestrial immortal… You going would be futile!” Sun Feng, one of the Four Young Masters of Binhai, said indifferently. “If you are indeed capable, why don’t you try splitting such a bronze tripod?”
Last time, Sun Feng’s hands and feet were broken due to Huang Xiaolong. Although he had applied medicine and healed, he still harbored some resentment towards Huang Xiaolong. Of course, knowing Huang Xiaolong’s identity and background, he did not dare to be disrespectful; at most he would only utter a few words.
“Hehe~~” Huang Xiaolong glanced at Sun Feng casually. “Are you itching for another beating? Are you thinking of having broken hands and feet again?”
Upon making eye contact with Huang Xiaolong, Sun Feng felt a chill run down his spine, leaving him speechless. He mumbled, “What I…I…meant is…even if you are…are very powerful, you still…still wouldn’t be able to split a bronze tripod.”
Huang Xiaolong didn’t bother to continue arguing with Sun Feng, turning his gaze to Old Master Sun instead. “In a word, if I go, I guarantee the Sun family has nothing to worry about.”
To be honest, Old Master Sun was also somewhat skeptical about Huang Xiaolong. He originally intended to plea for ‘that senior’ to personally take action. But since Huang Xiaolong had already made his declaration, Old Master Sun felt it was improper to say more about it.
“Then…then we are grateful for Master Xiaolong’s help.” Old Master Sun said with a smile. “Come, Master Xiaolong, let’s go have tea in the hall.”
Within a Chinese-styled hall.
Huang Xiaolong was invited to take the seat of honor with Old Master Sun, Sun Wei, and numerous members of the Sun family in attendance.
Servants offered fragrant tea.
“By the way, who typically competes in the annual martial arts tournament in Jiangnan City? Are any ancient martial grandmasters among them?” Huang Xiaolong asked with interest.
Old Master Sun started to explain personally. “Master Huang, ancient martial grandmasters don’t make appearances that easily. Most of the people participating in the tournament in Jiangnan City are martial artists whose physical training is already perfect. There is a small group able to attach some True Qi to their fists and feet, which can be driven into their opponent’s body upon contact, causing devastating damage and shattering their internal organs… These are already the top-notch masters. No grandmaster who can hurt others with their True Qi without touching them has ever appeared in these tournaments. However… this year, maybe there will be…”
Thinking of their enemies, Old Master Sun could not help feeling very worried.
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
As Old Master Sun stated, those who can add some True Qi to their fists and feet, and also inject the True Qi into the opponent’s body upon contact, are called “Half-step Grandmasters.” However, since the quality of their True Qi is not very high and they cannot kill their enemies remotely, they can’t be considered true ancient martial grandmasters.
Of course, to ordinary people, half-step grandmasters are already an existence far beyond their reach. They could be killed on the spot upon contact.
After all, it’s impossible to survive the impact of a force equal to a thousand pounds exploding inside one’s body.
However, Huang Xiaolong felt somewhat disappointed – ‘It seems that the martial arts tournament in Jiangnan City doesn’t have a very high standard. Most participants are brute force warriors who engage in physical combat, and only a few half-step grandmasters are the stars of the show.’
“I’ve heard that there are ten top ancient martial arts families, like the Yan family, the Xuanyuan family. Do any of them send members to compete in the martial arts tournament in Jiangnan City?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“The ten great ancient martial families!” Old Master Sun’s complexion drastically changed. His features filled with terror, admiration, fear, and reverence… much like how one would react to hearing a divine name.
“Master Long… The ten ancient martial families are the epitome of our Huaxia ancient martial inheritance… Like the Yan family in Beijing, it’s said that there are numerous ancient martial grandmasters in their family…” Old Master Sun said tremulously. “Compared to the ten ancient martial families, our fights are merely child’s play. The ten ancient martial families pursue a higher level that they are not interested in domestic martial arts schools, otherwise, where would our average families fit in?”
“The ten ancient martial families are wild geese soaring high above while the normal ancient martial families are nothing more than earth-crawling ants.” Old Master Sun said seriously. “However, the organizer of the annual martial arts tournament in Jiangnan City is the ‘Ying’ family from among the ten ancient martial families. The ‘Ying’ family is rumored to be the royal family of the Qin Dynasty, and their martial arts are passed down from the Qin Dynasty. They are especially proficient in swordsmanship.”
“Naturally, the Ying family only supervises the tournament, their members wouldn’t participate.” Old Master Sun said, his eyes filled with admiration for the Ying family that can’t be put in words.
Ancient families passed down from the Qin Dynasty! Royal families! Their heritage is nothing short of awe-inspiring!
In Old Master Sun’s view, not even the “elder” behind Huang Xiaolong or Huang Xiaolong’s “master” could compare to the Ying Family! They’re not even on the same league.
‘Oh… alright, alright, the ten great ancient martial families are actually the ones hosting the tournament. The Ying family? I took in an undead maid named Ying Kexin who was said to be someone from the royal family in her lifetime. The Great Qin’s numero uno swordsman, I wonder if there’s any connection to the ancient martial family ‘Ying Family’ that survived until today.’
Huang Xiaolong was interested in the so-called ten great ancient martial families, the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Ba, and now knowing that the host of the tournament was someone from the ten great ancient martial families, it was a must for him to make a trip to Jiangnan City.
The Chen family or whatever, he could casually wipe them out.
“When do you plan to leave?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“Master Huang, we originally planned to leave in three days to head to Jiangnan City. However, since plans have changed, let’s leave tomorrow morning!” Old Master Sun said. “The martial arts tournament is not for some time, but we must get there early to handle some VIPs at the local scene and schmooze a bit. After all, our Sun family has opened several martial arts schools in Jiangnan City. We have business there and must maintain good relations with the local powerhouses. Now, with our nemesis appearing, we must get there even earlier to scope out the situation. As they say, knowledge of the enemy’s and one’s own capacity ensures victories. May I know when Master Huang is free?”
“I am actually free at any time.” Huang Xiaolong said cheerfully, “Then let’s do it tomorrow. I shall depart with you to Jiangnan City. I also plan to familiarize myself with the local powerhouses of Jiangnan City, such as… hehe, the Chen family.”
As he spoke, there was a fleeting moment of killing intent and playfulness in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.
‘Chen family, you want my ancient medicine formula, right? You want to kidnap me and take me to Jiangnan City, right? Alright! Here I come!’
