Martial Arts Overlord

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1001: A Life-and-Death Instant, Utter Helplessness!

Luo Feng glanced at the newcomers. Judging from the fluctuations of their Yuan Qi, both were Martial Artists in the Spiritual Rotation Realm, whose cultivation was on par with his father, Luotian. In the small Black Cloud City, this level of cultivation was already considered top-notch.

"Doctor Xu, Doctor Lan, you’ve finally arrived."

Shen Qing’s eyes lit up with surprise upon seeing the two.

The two were the most renowned doctors in Black Cloud City, especially the young woman named Lanxue, who hailed from the prestigious Lan Family of doctors in the city. She had previously cured Martial Artists afflicted by Evil Qi, and her medical skills were extraordinary.

"Please, both of you, attend to my cousin," Luo Feng said straightforwardly.

The two nodded, walked directly to the bedside, and looked at Luo Ying, both furrowing their brows almost simultaneously.

The middle-aged man extended his right hand, placed his index finger on Luo Ying’s forehead, and appeared thoughtful.

After a moment, he exhaled deeply, withdrew his right hand, and stepped aside.

Luo Feng hurriedly asked, "How is she?"

The middle-aged man had a deep frown, staring at the bloody claw on Luo Ying’s hand and the three fox tails behind her, shaking his head repeatedly, saying:

"Strange, I’ve been practicing medicine for decades and have treated Martial Artists possessed by demons, but I have never seen anything like this..."

Luo Feng felt his heart sink slightly, and Shen Qing’s face turned as pale as paper. He hurriedly grabbed the young woman’s hand, saying, "Doctor Lan, please save Ying’er."

The young woman said nothing, slowly stepped forward, sat by the bed, took out a crystal-clear needle, and gently inserted it into the center of Luo Ying’s brow.

Instantly, a red aura rose from the crystal needle, growing increasingly intense. Eventually, the crystal needle, about an inch long, glowed with a fiery red light, dazzling and blinding.

Gazing at the scarlet crystal needle, the young woman’s eyes were grave, showing contemplation. After a long while, she said:

"Miss Ying’s condition resembles possession by a demon but isn’t quite the same. There is indeed some powerful Evil Qi within her, but generally, whether influenced by the malice in a Demon Core or driven mad by absorbing too much Evil Qi, a Martial Artist’s spirit collapses without any physical changes. Yet Miss Ying..."

The young woman pointed at Luo Ying’s bloody claws and the three Yuan Qi fox tails behind her.

Luo Feng furrowed his brow, asking, "Can you cure her?"

"This situation is the first I’ve seen. If treatment is necessary, I can only attempt the method of treating demonic possession. But the consequences of doing so, I can’t predict."

The young woman withdrew the crystal needle, looked seriously at Luo Feng, and said, "The decision is yours whether to proceed."

Luo Feng glanced at Luo Ying, saying solemnly, "Do as you say."

In Luo Ying’s current state, there wasn’t much time left; they couldn’t afford to go to other big cities to seek treatment from other doctors. A desperate gamble was their only option now.

"I’ll do my best."

The young woman nodded, stood up, and pointed with her jade-like fingers.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The sound of air being pierced was heard, as a dozen slender crystal needles shot from her fingertips, hovering above Luo Ying, shining brightly.

Buzz!

As the woman raised her delicate eyebrows, a pale flame ignited on her palm, filling the entire room with an intense chill.

With a drop of sweat dripping from her nose, the young woman’s palm gently pressed down, causing the floating crystal needles to descend, gradually piercing into Luo Ying’s body.

Roar!

Suddenly, a beast-like growl erupted from Luo Ying’s mouth, her eyes glowing with a bloody light as she struggled violently, splitting the bed’s edge with cracks rapidly spreading.

"Don’t let her move!"

The young woman’s face was covered in sweat, and she spoke sternly.

Luo Feng focused his gaze, tightening his fingers around Luo Ying to restrain her completely.

The crystal needles were about to be fully inserted into Luo Ying’s body.

Suddenly—

Roar!

A beast-like cry exploded in the room, with Luo Ying’s entire body surging with bloody light. Her fiery fox tails increased from three to five, filling the room with an overwhelming and vicious aura.

Bang, bang, bang...

A series of explosive sounds occurred as the crystal needles about to pierce into Luo Ying shattered one after another, breaking into powder.

Splash!

The young woman’s face turned white, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering onto her white dress like scattered plum blossoms, and she retreated.

Boom!

Luo Ying suddenly broke free from the Yuan Qi Palm Gang, her body jerking towards Luo Feng, her gaze sinister and filled with ferocity and violence.

Luo Feng frowned, exerting seventy percent of his strength, and grabbed at the air, stopping Luo Ying.

"Doctor Lan, are you okay?"

Shen Qing stepped forward to support the young woman.

The young woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, shaking her head slightly, "It’s just a bit of blocked Qi and blood, nothing serious. However..."

Her beautiful eyes gazed at Luo Ying, and a tinge of desolation appeared on her charming face, "For Miss Ying, I’m afraid I’m powerless. The Evil Qi within her is beyond what I can neutralize."

Shen Qing’s face went pale, "Doctor Lan, you are the best doctor in Black Cloud City. If even you can’t..."

"Madam, you overestimate me, Lanxue. In the art of healing, I haven’t even reached the doorstep. There’s much that I’m incapable of doing."

The young woman sighed in resignation, thought for a moment, and said, "Frankly, in all of Black Cloud City, I’m afraid there’s no one who can save Miss Ying. I must take my leave now."

"Stop!"

Luo Feng’s brows twitched as he shattered a wooden chair in front of the young woman with a single palm strike.

The young woman stopped in her tracks, looking calmly at Luo Feng, "I’m just speaking the truth. If you wanted to hear comforting words, you shouldn’t have sought me, Lanxue."

"Feng’er..." Shen Qing held Luo Feng, gently shaking her head.

"If you head to a big city now and find a doctor with True Yuan Realm strength, Miss Ying might have a glimmer of hope. However, given the current circumstances, the chances are very slim. It’s best to be prepared..."

The young woman advised and then turned to leave.

The middle-aged man shook his head and followed behind her.

Luo Feng’s brow twitched, clenching his fists before loosening them, looking at Luo Ying with an uncertain expression.

"Feng’er, do what you can and leave the rest to fate. Perhaps, Ying’er’s destiny is meant to be this way."

Shen Qing pressed her lips tightly, her eyes red with emotion.

"Auntie, I’ll take Sister Luo Ying to Dayang City!"

Luo Feng didn’t want to give up just yet. Clenching his teeth, he prepared to set out immediately.

At this moment, a delicate maid hurriedly ran in, meeting Luo Feng’s gaze. Her pupils trembled, unable to make eye contact, and she spoke with her head lowered:

"Young Master, someone requests an audience."

"I’m not seeing anyone!"

Luo Feng had no inclination to deal with anyone else right now. Hugging Luo Ying, he was about to leave when footsteps approached from afar, and two figures entered.

"Luo Feng, I came uninvited."

It was Elder Yufeng, accompanied by Elder Tian Jing.

Luo Feng furrowed his eyebrows, "Is there something you need?"

Elder Yufeng smiled faintly, not minding Luo Feng’s tone. He glanced at Luo Ying and said:

"I’m interested in Luo Ying’s condition. If you don’t mind, may I take a look? I should be able to help somewhat."

"Sorry, I’m in a hurry right now." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Luo Feng was about to leave, but Elder Tian Jing stopped him:

"Young man, if you want to leave, I won’t stop you. But let me tell you, throughout the Flowing Cloud Region, in terms of medical skills, our Gu Family ancestor could claim second, and few would dare claim first!"

Luo Feng was startled, now remembering that the Gu Family was renowned in medicine, and Elder Yufeng, being the top expert of the Gu Family, surely possessed exceptional medical skills!

With great joy, Luo Feng immediately apologized, "Senior Yufeng, I was too anxious earlier and acted improperly. Please forgive me..."

Elder Yufeng waved his hand, "I understand. Let me first check on Luo Ying’s condition."

"Yes."

Luo Feng hurriedly laid Luo Ying down.

Elder Yufeng stepped forward, flicked his finger, and five threads of condensed Yuan Qi fell onto Luo Ying’s five fingers, closing his eyes without saying a word.

After a moment, Elder Yufeng opened his eyes, his sharp gaze shining brilliantly, filled with amazement.

"This might be..."
