The Urban Medical Martial Immortal-Chapter 827 - 822: When to Cut Without Mercy (Second Update!)
Chapter 827: Chapter 822: When to Cut Without Mercy (Second Update!)
Ancient Medicine Town, central plaza.
At this moment, more than a dozen powerful families around the Ancient Medicine Sect were gathered here.
They have been living and reproducing in Ancient Medicine Town or nearby manors for generations.
Most families, either from previous generations or the current descendants, have trained in the Ancient Medicine Sect.
Today, having received a summons from the Young Master of the Ancient Medicine Sect, they naturally hurried over.
But the Young Master somehow received information about their collusion with the Duan family, and he suddenly appeared in Ancient Medicine Town, frightening many families into a panic. Later, they all conceded and admitted their mistakes, obtaining the Young Master’s forgiveness.
As such.
To show loyalty, they unanimously directed their accusations towards Duan Boxin and others of the Duan family!
"Duan Boxin of the Duan family has been threatening us small families openly and secretly, relying on his cultivation!"
"Exactly, if we don’t cooperate with him, we’ll definitely suffer!"
"Yes, Young Master, it was the Duan family that forced us to act this way!"
"Indeed... How could we dare oppose the sect? Young Master, they threatened us to fight against the sect, the Duan family must be punished!"
"Without the Young Master, we almost went astray! The Duan family must be eradicated!"
...
Many on the plaza opened their mouths, either accusing Duan Boxin and others who appeared or flattering the young man in front, their words like a tide.
Standing at the front edge of the plaza, that young man was Xue Chengchun, the Young Master of the Ancient Medicine Sect!
His cultivation wasn’t high, only at the Qi Refining Ninth Level.
But for his age, his talent was already considered remarkable!
At this moment, with the appearance of Duan Boxin and the Duan family members, Xue Chengchun turned to look.
"Young Master, I, Qi Tianzhu, was also instigated by Duan Boxin and almost fell for it. I request punishment from the Young Master!"
Qi Tianzhu quickly stepped forward, speaking nervously, showing a submissive demeanor.
However, Xue Chengchun waved his hand at him, not paying attention, clearly showing he had no intention to pursue the matter.
This brought relief and joy to many families including the Qi Family, setting their hearts at ease.
Xue Chengchun’s gaze swept around and lingered briefly on Duan Shiyi and Duan Shiyue, then looked at Duan Boxin, saying, "Mr. Duan, how do you plan to explain this?"
"You can kill or flay as you please!"
Duan Boxin frowned, coldly saying, "Clearly it was your Xue family, who controls the real power in the Ancient Medicine Sect, colluding with other families from outside, framing us. This crime, our Duan family cannot bear!"
"Duan Boxin, how dare you!"
"How dare you speak to the Young Master like that!"
"Duan Boxin, your Duan family is finished!"
Duan Boxin’s words provoked many on the plaza to shout angrily.
"Hmph, it seems you all have guilty consciences!"
Duan Boxin swept his gaze over them, sneering, "We came with the determination to die! But now, the Ancient Medicine Sect is no longer what it used to be..."
"Hehe... Kill you? No, no, no! You still have something we need; you can’t be killed!"
Xue Chengchun sneered, shaking his head, "My father is waiting for you, we can sit down and talk calmly! As for the charges of your Duan family’s collusion with outsiders, it’s not impossible to have them altered. It all depends on your attitude..."
"Fine! I want to see how Xue Xing plans to negotiate!"
Duan Boxin’s face was stern, speaking defiantly.
At this point, the Duan family had no choice.
If they fled now, it would confirm their collusion with external enemies, giving Xue Xing even more reason to eradicate them completely!
Xue Chengchun walked ahead, with a crowd following behind towards the Ancient Medicine Sect.
The Ancient Medicine Sect is located on Ancient Medicine Mountain,
only a few kilometers away from Ancient Medicine Town.
Climbing over the deep mountains beyond the town, one can see a giant mountain sprawled amidst dense forests.
On the Ancient Medicine Mountain, winding stone steps spiral upwards, extending into the clouds, shrouded in mist, resembling a realm of Immortals.
An hour later.
The group arrived in front of the main hall of the Ancient Medicine Sect, an ancient hall with flying eaves and red tiles, quite majestic.
In front, Xue Chengchun stopped his steps.
A red-faced, boyish-featured elder approached from the front, his complexion rosy, exuding a medicinal fragrance that spread with the wind.
The elder’s name was Peng Haokong, the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Medicine Sect, possessing an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, and holding remarkable alchemy skills, well-known throughout the Southwest!
"Supreme Elder!"
Xue Chengchun walked forward, respectfully saluting.
Qi Tianzhu and Ling Qingtian, along with others, all saluted him.
"Are the people brought?"
Peng Haokong glanced at everyone present with slightly cloudy eyes, then nodded and said, "Take the two girls away! Your father and the Young Saint Master are waiting~!"
"Alright!"
Xue Chengchun’s face changed slightly. He then lightly nodded and waved his hand towards the side of the hall, pointing at Duan Shiyue and Duan Shiyi: "Take them away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two men clad in black robes appeared, walking directly towards Duan Shiyue and Duan Shiyi.
"What do you want to do?"
Duan Boxin noticed something wrong and quickly shouted.
"If you want the Duan family to be safe, you must make sacrifices; it’s not that simple!"
Xue Chengchun sneered coldly, saying again, "Take them away!"
The two black-robed men immediately rushed over.
Bang~
However, Duan Boxin made a move, pushing back those two black-robed men with two palm strikes.
The two were only at Qi Refining Seventh Level, how could they pass Duan Boxin’s defense? However, the latter had no intention of completely tearing the face, not using heavy hands.
"Hmph!"
The Supreme Elder of the Ancient Medicine Sect snorted coldly, stepping forward, he dashed towards Duan Boxin and quickly engaged him in a struggle.
"Do it!"
Receiving Xue Chengchun’s affirmation once more, the two black-robed men again charged towards the sisters Duan Shiyue and Duan Shiyi.
Yet, before the two men could get close, with two loud bangs, the men flew out like sandbags, crashing to the ground, their fate unknown.
"Courting death, dare to resist!"
Xue Chengchun’s complexion changed, shouting angrily.
And Lin Tian stood before Duan Shiyi and Duan Shiyue, standing tall in silence.
He was the one who made the move just now.
The Duan family members instantly widened their eyes.
"Is this young man so strong?"
The Duan family members showed expressions of shock, even Duan Shiyi gaped slightly.
"Who are you in the Xue family?"
Opposite, Xue Chengchun, seeing Lin Tian standing there silently, shouted coldly.
Just at this moment, the young man previously instructed by Duan Boxin in Ancient Medicine Town to leave returned, hurrying over. Seeing Duan Boxin and the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Medicine Sect engaged in fierce battle, his expression completely changed.
As soon as he appeared, Lin Tian was in front of him in a flash, coldly asking, "Where is he?"
"Found him, the caretaker is someone we know, he’s very safe! However, no girl was found, only that big man named Song Manshan!"
The returning Duan family youth hurriedly whispered to Lin Tian: "If my guess is correct, that girl should have been sent to the Holy Gu Sect. Your friend must have been captured by Xue Chengchun, which is the Young Master! But I advise you to leave, do not get entangled in our Duan family’s affairs!"
"Thank you!"
Touched by the Duan family’s willingness to risk helping, and hearing this youth’s advice, Lin Tian turned towards Xue Chengchun, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Are you deaf when I ask you a question?"
Once again ignored, Xue Chengchun was utterly furious, then shouted to Qi Tianzhu and Ling Qingshan: "Take him down for me!"
The two exchanged a look, knowing this was Xue Chengchun testing them, and without another word, rushed towards Lin Tian.
At the same time, two black-robed men appeared next to Xue Chengchun, exuding an ink-green aura, their cultivation reaching the terrifying mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Bang~
Instantly, True Qi surged from Lin Tian’s body like a rainbow, directly blasting away those not yet in front of him.
"Let’s start with you!"
Lin Tian’s face was indifferent, stepping quickly towards Xue Chengchun.
Xue Chengchun’s face changed drastically; he could see the terrifying cultivation of the young man before him, realizing Qi Tianzhu and Ling Qingshan were no match.
"Kill him!"
Xue Chengchun was frightened, watching Lin Tian rush towards him, retreating rapidly while shouting to the two black-robed men beside him.
Rumble~
A wave of energy surged from the two, sweeping in all directions, trying to engulf Lin Tian.
"You have no chance to escape! Crossing my bottom line, you shall be cut down without mercy!"
Lin Tian completely ignored the two black-robed men, his True Qi roared like waves, directly blocking their attack. At the same time, with a wave of his hand, a sharp blade appeared, slashing directly at Xue Chengchun.
