Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Yi Xuesha

Seeing his comrade injured, a young man in black suddenly appeared before Chen Qingdi. Wielding a long black sword, he instantly slashed down at him.

Chen Qingdi couldn’t dodge in time and took a minor wound to his arm, forcing him to quickly retreat dozens of steps.

"A member of the Celestial Dragon Sect, stooping to become one of Xu Aozhen’s lackeys?"

"Out of consideration for the Celestial Dragon Sect, I’ll let you live. Now, scram," Chen Qingdi said after steadying himself.

"Let me live? You should worry about yourself! You offended Young Master Xu, so your death is certain today!"

After speaking, the young man in black became a dark blur, thrusting his sword toward Chen Qingdi.

"So obstinate. I had intended to spare you, given the friendship between my master and your sect’s Elder."

"A pity. In your next life, remember not to help a villain do his dirty work."

With a flick of his finger, Chen Qingdi sent out a shockwave. The long sword in the young man’s hand instantly shattered, and the young man himself was blasted away, dying on impact.

Xu Aozhen’s expression turned ferocious as he watched.

’These were the five people I spent a fortune on, hired specifically to deal with Chen Qingdi!’

’And now, one is dead, one is injured, and only three are left.’

"Chen Qingdi, I’m giving you one last chance! Kneel and beg me to spare you, and while you’re at it, send your wife over. If you do, I’ll call them off. Otherwise, today is the day you die!"

Xu Aozhen roared at Chen Qingdi.

But Chen Qingdi just looked at him with utter contempt and sneered.

"What’s the use of all your useless barking? You dared to kidnap someone close to me. For that, you will pay the price today!"

Chen Qingdi suddenly charged forward, unleashing a punch at the three figures in black.

Before the three could even react, Chen Qingdi’s punch sent them flying dozens of meters.

Each of them was injured to some degree. Just as they regained their footing and prepared to surround and kill Chen Qingdi...

...Yi Xuesha made her move. She drew a short blade from a sheath on her leg and lunged for Chen Qingdi’s back.

After dodging, Chen Qingdi casually sent Yi Xuesha flying with a backhand strike.

"Damn it! How did you see through my Ninja Techniques?" Yi Xuesha demanded, a look of utter disbelief on her face.

"Heh. Your Japan is but a tiny nation. How could you possibly comprehend the profound depths of a great nation’s Martial Dao?"

Chen Qingdi sneered, strode in front of Yi Xuesha, and lifted her into the air with one hand.

"I’m giving you a choice. Submit to me, or die."

"The choice is yours."

As he spoke, the pressure from his hand suddenly intensified.

Yi Xuesha instantly felt as though she were caught in a steel vise; she wanted to struggle but was completely powerless to break free.

The gap in power between her and Chen Qingdi was simply too vast.

’If I want to live, I have to betray the organization and become his subordinate.’

But as Yi Xuesha hesitated, Chen Qingdi, having no intention of giving her more time, tightened his grip once more.

"Ah! Stop! I submit! I submit!"

"Please, Master, have mercy!"

That last squeeze from Chen Qingdi had made Yi Xuesha feel the very real threat of death.

To survive, she had no choice but to betray her organization and submit to Chen Qingdi.

"You’re a smart one. Go stand aside and watch."

Chen Qingdi tossed her aside and then walked toward the three figures in black.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure erupting from Chen Qingdi, the three figures in black lost their nerve and began to back away.

However, Xu Aozhen, watching from behind them, pulled out a pistol.

"Get back there, you useless trash!"

"He’s just one man! What are the three of you afraid of? Kill him, and I’ll give you a chance to start a new life. Otherwise, you’ll be Martial Slaves for the Blood-colored Building forever!"

At these words, the three figures in black suddenly stopped retreating.

"Third Brother, he’s right. Are we really going to be Martial Slaves for the rest of our lives? Will we never get a chance to break free?"

"He’s right, Third Brother. Didn’t First Brother and Second Brother bring us here to help Young Master Xu precisely so we could get new identities and start over? We can’t pass up this chance," a woman and another man, both clad in black, said to the burly man in black standing before them.

After a long moment of consideration, the burly man nodded.

"Fourth Sister, Fifth Brother, let’s go!"

"Once we take care of him, Young Master Xu will definitely give us our new identities!"

The burly man shouted, and the two behind him immediately charged toward Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi, however, remained perfectly calm and simply met them with a backhand palm strike.

The three were instantly sent flying by the blow, collapsing in a heap on the ground.

Without a second glance, Chen Qingdi walked right past them.

"You overestimate yourselves."

Chen Qingdi remarked casually as he walked right up to Xu Aozhen.

Terrified by Chen Qingdi’s overwhelming power, Xu Aozhen raised his pistol, aimed it at Chen Qingdi, and stammered, "Wh-what do you want?"

"I’m telling you, if anything happens to me, the Xu Family won’t let you off the hook! You’d better think this through!"

Xu Aozhen bellowed at Chen Qingdi, his voice laced with terror.

SLAP!

Chen Qingdi, however, paid the Xu Family no mind and slapped him across the face.

"I already gave you a chance when you interfered in my affairs. Now you’ve kidnapped my loved ones. Did you really think you could cross my lines with impunity?"

With that, Chen Qingdi reached out and grabbed the barrel of Xu Aozhen’s gun.

CRUNCH!

The gun in Xu Aozhen’s hand was crushed to pieces by Chen Qingdi’s grip!

’Seeing this, the three figures in black were thankful they hadn’t pushed Chen Qingdi too far. Otherwise, they might have ended up just like that gun!’

’Or maybe even worse!’

At this thought, the three broke out in a cold sweat and dared not move a muscle.

’They were afraid that the slightest movement would anger Chen Qingdi, who might kill them on a whim. What a pointless way to die that would be.’

"Y-you... how did you do that?!"

"Are you even human?! Crushing a pistol with your bare hands!"

Xu Aozhen was completely dumbfounded. His eyes bulged as he stared at Chen Qingdi, his face a mask of pure shock.

"For a Martial Artist like me, this is nothing special."

"Didn’t these Martial Artists you hired demonstrate their abilities for you?"

Chen Qingdi sneered, his gaze sweeping over the three figures in black.

That single glance was enough to make the three of them drop to their knees in terror, not daring to meet his eyes.
