Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Chen Qingdi vs Nie Changfeng

Nie Changfeng slung the sword onto his back, assuming the air of a peerless master, looking incredibly arrogant.

"Heh, you’re the one who said it. Don’t you dare go back on your word."

A mocking smile played on Chen Qingdi’s lips as a powerful aura erupted from him. He threw a punch on the spot.

Before Nie Changfeng could even react, he saw the blast of True Energy from Chen Qingdi’s fist hurtling toward him.

He hastily drew his White Dragon Sword to block, only to be blasted back dozens of meters by the force of the True Energy.

It wasn’t until he stopped that Nie Changfeng finally took a proper look at Chen Qingdi.

A moment ago, his own carelessness and arrogance had nearly cost him the fight against Chen Qingdi.

’I can’t be careless this time.’

He gripped his White Dragon Sword and lunged at Chen Qingdi.

"Kid, I was careless just now. You just got lucky."

"But I’m serious now. Let’s see if you can withstand my attack!"

Nie Changfeng’s attack was vicious, aimed straight for Chen Qingdi’s vital points.

But Chen Qingdi remained perfectly composed. With a flick of his finger...

...the White Dragon Sword was sent flying.

When Nie Changfeng saw this, his expression twisted into a snarl. His gaze, fixed on Chen Qingdi, was filled with killing intent.

Indeed.

He was now determined to kill. If, at the beginning, he had merely wanted to knock Chen Qingdi down a peg...

...now he was absolutely resolved to crush Chen Qingdi in the palm of his hand.

He would absolutely not allow such a monstrous talent to live and become a threat to the Nie Family.

"That old codger’s disciple is truly something else. What a pity."

"No matter how much of a prodigy you are, your cultivation realm is no match for mine."

Nie Changfeng unleashed a palm strike, sending powerful waves of energy surging toward Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi was immediately hit with an unprecedented level of power.

"Damn it, you actually took a Qi Enhancement Pill! Don’t you know that a Martial Artist’s meridians will be damaged if they take one of those?"

"Do you have a death wish?"

Chen Qingdi crossed his arms to block, scolding Nie Changfeng.

"Junior, I don’t need you to tell me what to do! Today, you die!"

The aura emanating from Nie Changfeng continued to climb, his presence growing even more powerful than before.

"My master’s intention was for me to retrieve the sword, not kill you."

"But you’re so stubbornly refusing to see reason. At this point, killing you wouldn’t seem excessive at all!"

Chen Qingdi recalled his master’s instructions.

’I had intended to take it without killing him, but that’s probably not an option anymore.’

"Heh, empty threats are useless, kid. You need to have the skills to back them up!"

Nie Changfeng completely ignored Chen Qingdi, gripping his White Dragon Sword and thrusting it toward him.

Chen Qingdi threw a punch, unleashing a massive surge of True Energy.

At that moment, the White Dragon Sword suddenly hummed loudly, and cracks began to spiderweb across its blade!

"This is impossible!"

"How can this be? My White Dragon Sword was forged from the black iron of a thousand-year-old frozen pool! How could it possibly crack in front of you!"

Nie Changfeng fell to his knees in disbelief and roared at Chen Qingdi, his eyes nearly bulging from their sockets.

"There are plenty more things you can’t imagine."

Chen Qingdi sneered and snatched the White Dragon Sword away.

"It’s a true waste for this sword to be with you. Why don’t I take it off your hands."

As Chen Qingdi gripped the White Dragon Sword, his aura erupted with explosive force.

Feeling this aura, everyone was forced to retreat another dozens of meters.

Their eyes, when they looked at Chen Qingdi, were filled with dread.

They never imagined the Grand Elder would actually lose!

And at the hands of a young man, no less!

The Grand Elder, always renowned for his mastery of the Sword Dao, had been defeated by a young man. If the old monsters of the Martial Arts Realm were to learn of this, they would surely be left speechless.

"From this day forward, if I see anyone from your Nie Family in Sea City..."

Chen Qingdi’s gaze swept across them, and all the present members of the Nie Family fell to their knees, prostrating themselves.

Even the Nie Family Ancestor was terrified by his power, his face pale and drained of all strength.

"I am giving the Nie Family one day. Don’t think for a second I can’t do it."

"If I wish it, annihilating your Nie Family would take but a single thought."

Chen Qingdi plunged the White Dragon Sword into the ground, then turned and left with the Profound Daoist and Daoist Bai.

But after Chen Qingdi left, the members of the Nie Family scrambled to their feet, their faces etched with defiance.

"What’s he so smug about? He got lucky and beat the Grand Elder, and now he’s putting on airs in front of the Nie Family?"

"Yeah, he’s just a Martial Artist, what’s the big deal? You think he can stop bullets and missiles? With the Nie Family’s money and resources, hiring an assassin to kill him would be child’s play."

All the members of the Nie Family began to mock Chen Qingdi.

And yet, just a moment before, they hadn’t dared to so much as fart.

The Ancestor and the Grand Elder, however, did not join the mockery. Their faces were etched with complex expressions.

CRACK!

Cracks began to spread across the ground where Chen Qingdi had plunged the White Dragon Sword.

In the next instant, that entire section of ground caved in, forming a massive pit.

All the members of the Nie Family were stunned, collapsing to the ground where they stood.

Some of them were so scared they wet themselves.

As for the Grand Elder and the Ancestor, their faces were filled with utter terror.

"Quickly, go buy some gifts! We’re going to apologize to Mr. Chen this instant!"

"We absolutely cannot allow Mr. Chen to hold a grudge against the Nie Family! An expert of his caliber is not someone we can afford to cross!"

The Ancestor immediately commanded the clan members behind him.

Those clan members, dressed in fine suits and dripping with jewelry, heard the Ancestor’s words and didn’t dare to utter a single objection. They all got in their cars and sped away.

Then, Nie Changfeng gave another order to his subordinates.

"Inform all disciples of the Nie Family: from this moment on, you will treat Mr. Chen with the same respect you show us. Anyone who is disrespectful will be punished according to family law!"

"We absolutely cannot afford to offend Mr. Chen. We must get on his good side!"

His subordinate heard this and immediately went to carry out the order.

Meanwhile, Chen Qingdi had already returned to his villa.

"So, do you two have anything to say for yourselves?"

Chen Qingdi sat with his legs crossed. Night Guard stood beside him, while a blushing Blood Rose knelt on the floor, massaging his legs.

"We brothers have nothing to say. We’ve led you where you wanted to go, so just let us live."

Daoist Bai said proudly.

"I can’t do that. I, Chen Qingdi, never leave loose ends."

"Why don’t the two of you become my slaves?"

Chen Qingdi sneered, making an outrageous demand.

"What?!"

"You want us to be your slaves? Did we mishear you, or are you spouting nonsense?"

Hearing this, the two Daoists immediately became agitated.

They were, after all, figures of some renown in the Martial Arts Realm. How could they possibly submit to this young man?
