Chapter 482: Chapter 481: "Zhang Yide Appears

A lightning-fast punch sent Wang Jie flying out of Ye Tianchen’s bedroom, shattering the glass of the window. This strike was unexpected for both Cang Lang and Wuxue.

Whoosh!

Another figure leaped down from the window, ignoring the five or six meters of height as if it were nothing. That person was Hei Mian, known for his fiery temper. Having heard Wang Jie’s curses, Hei Mian lashed out with a punch without warning, catching Wang Jie off guard. Wang Jie’s nose took a heavy blow, and he was sent sprawling through the air.

Wuxue and Cang Lang exchanged glances. Both were relatively more composed and said nothing, quickly exiting the bedroom. By the time Wuxue, Cang Lang, Lin Duan, and Bao Tianglong ran out of the villa, Wang Jie and Hei Mian were already engaged in combat. Both were strong, and for the moment, the victor couldn’t be determined. This surprised Cang Lang, and even Hei Mian himself was shocked. Although he knew he could suppress Wang Jie if he used his full strength, it still showed that each member of Ye Tianchen’s Thirteen Heavenly Kings was a master in their own right. No one expected Ye Tianchen to have built such a formidable team in such a short time.

Bang!

Bang!

Wang Jie and Hei Mian exchanged solid punches. Wang Jie was sent reeling back as his strength was slightly less than Hei Mian’s. After all, as a Heavenly Gang Level fighter, Hei Mian practiced Absolute Skills that were very authentic, unlike the rough-and-tumble approach of Wuxue and the others. Nonetheless, Wang Jie wasn’t seriously injured. He glared fiercely at Hei Mian before charging back into the fray.

At this moment, rage was boiling within Wang Jie. It was no longer about personal grievances but about the reputation of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. Hei Mian’s disrespect to Wang Jie amounted to a slight against the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. Wang Jie couldn’t afford to lose, for if he did, he would have no face left in the presence of Hei Mian and the others.

Hei Mian was also stunned. He never expected Wang Jie to possess such formidable strength. Initially, he thought the team of Thirteen Heavenly Kings, even if it comprised top fighters and elite bodyguards, wouldn’t have the strength to compete with a Heavenly Gang Level warrior like himself without falling short. Reflecting on this, Hei Mian felt an urge to test how strong Wang Jie truly was. He gripped his fists tightly and charged at Wang Jie once more.

At that moment, Wuxue and Cang Lang looked at each other and practically moved at the same time, attempting to intervene and stop the clash between Wang Jie and Hei Mian. It wasn’t a matter of who wins or loses; the fight was meaningless as Ye Tianchen was still unconscious.

Unexpectedly, just as Wuxue and Cang Lang were about to act, another figure dashed forward, moving incredibly fast. With the left hand open to confront Wang Jie, and the right fist raised to meet Hei Mian, the newcomer sent both men reeling backward while standing rooted on the spot, watching Wang Jie and Hei Mian with an icy gaze.

"Divine Doctor Ghost Hand..."

"Zhang Yide..."

Almost simultaneously, Wang Jie and Hei Mian exclaimed in shock. They never expected the person who intervened to be Divine Doctor Ghost Hand Zhang Yide. This mysterious old man was impossible to find across the entire country, and now he had appeared out of nowhere, leaving them to ponder his enigmatic nature.

"You may cease fighting now, continuing will lead to mutual destruction!" Zhang Yide said after glancing at Wang Jie and Hei Mian.

Hei Mian knew Zhang Yide, whose moniker Divine Doctor Ghost Hand spoke of his immense strength. Arguably the world’s most superb in medical skills, Zhang Yide was himself a formidable Superpower User, and only with significant power could he have managed to halt the fierce battle between himself and Wang Jie single-handedly.

"Wang Jie, hold back, don’t hurt Elder Zhang!" Wuxue hurriedly went over and said.

With Zhang Yide’s arrival, it was natural that neither Wang Jie nor Hei Mian could continue fighting. Wuxue and Cang Lang swiftly stepped in to stop them. They were also secretly relieved; with Zhang Yide here, there was hope for Ye Tianchen, who had been in a coma for seven days and seven nights.

"Divine Doctor Zhang, please go check on my elder brother. He hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for seven days and nights!" Lin Duan couldn’t help but speak up.

Upon hearing Lin Duan’s words, Zhang Yide didn’t rise from his seat. If one were to talk about the source of their connection, even without Wuxue and others seeking him out, learning of Ye Tianchen’s near-fatal injury, Zhang Yide would have taken the initiative to treat him. Both he and Ye Tianchen were Superpower Users who got along well and had discussed much about Cultivation, one might even call them friends despite their age difference. If not for his granddaughter Zhang Ruotong, Ye Tianchen’s relationship with Zhang Yide might have been even better. However, after Ruotong gave her virginity to Ye Tianchen, it became very likely that Ye Tianchen would become Zhang Yide’s grandson-in-law. However, so much time had passed, and Zhang Yide had searched many places without finding his granddaughter, Zhang Ruotong, which led to his growing dissatisfaction with Ye Tianchen. If not for Ye Tianchen, how well could he have been living with his granddaughter? How could his old heart bear the torture of separation? Therefore, it was somewhat understandable that he had some disdain for Ye Tianchen.

Zhang Yide looked around and moved to a rattan chair not far away, leisurely lying down, closing his eyes as if he was unaware of Ye Tianchen’s severe injury, or that it didn’t weigh on his mind. He seemed indifferent as to whether to treat Ye Tianchen or not, almost as if he were just passing by.

Nobody expected Zhang Yide to react in such a way, leaving Wuxue, Wang Jie, Lin Duan, Bao Tianglong, Cang Lang, and Hei Mian, these six people, completely perplexed. They wondered what exactly Divine Doctor Ghost Hand meant. Logically speaking, even if they didn’t say anything, Zhang Yide would treat Ye Tianchen. He didn’t even confirm whether he could treat him, and he didn’t even go to look at Ye Tianchen once—what did all this mean?

Wuxue glanced at Zhang Yide and approached him with great respect, saying, "Divine Doctor Zhang, my brother is now..."

"No need to say more, I have my own ideas, just wait!" Zhang Yide interrupted Wuxue and waved his hand as he spoke.

This left Wuxue and the others truly at a loss for words. Not only was Zhang Yide a Divine Doctor Ghost Hand but also their senior. Since he had spoken thus, they could only wait, although they had no idea what Zhang Yide meant by waiting.

A day and a night went by, and Ye Tianchen remained sitting cross-legged in his bedroom, motionless. During this time, the six people including Wuxue didn’t leave. Luo Yan brought delicious meals for Zhang Yide, who ate without hesitation, and after eating, he returned to the rattan chair to sleep. This stunned Wuxue and the others. What trick was the old man playing? A day and a night had passed, and he had not even glanced at Ye Tianchen, while Ye Tianchen’s breath grew weaker and weaker. If things continued this way, the situation looked very grim.

Another day and night passed, and Zhang Yide, apart from getting up to use the restroom, had not left the rattan chair. Wuxue, Wang Jie, Lin Duan, Bao Tianglong, Hei Mian, and Cang Lang, these six people, were still waiting there. They wanted to see how Zhang Yide would treat Ye Tianchen and whether Ye Tianchen could recover. But after two days and nights, the old man had still not made a single move, which started to cause them serious concern.

Wang Jie was quick-tempered. Seeing that two days and nights had passed without any sign of Zhang Yide going to treat Ye Tianchen, he walked up to Zhang Yide and bluntly asked, "Elder Zhang, can you cure my brother or not? Two days and nights have gone by, and you haven’t started treating him?"

Zhang Yide glanced at Wang Jie but didn’t answer the question about Ye Tianchen. Instead, he said, "You suffer from an old ailment. If left untreated, you’ll be paralyzed before you reach forty and might even die suddenly. I wonder which quack doctor treated you, leaving such a hidden problem that could end your life!"

"An old ailment? What old ailment could I possibly have? Now is not the time to discuss this. You should treat my brother’s injuries first!" Wang Jie was taken aback, then waved his hand as he spoke.

"Every night at twelve o’clock, you feel a faint pain from the third vertebra up your spine, resulting from a past battle. It has never been completely healed. Currently, you are not symptomatic because your strength and cultivation are robust, and your body’s function remains strong due to your youth. However, if this continues, you may end up paralyzed or even die suddenly." Zhang Yide said with a faint smile.

Wang Jie was shocked. Indeed, during a fierce battle years ago, although he killed his opponent, his spine was severely damaged. Despite receiving treatment at the best hospitals abroad, he started feeling faint pain at the third vertebra of his spine every night at twelve o’clock ever since. It was bearable, so he did not address it. Now that Divine Doctor Ghost Hand Zhang Yide mentioned it, Wang Jie realized the severity of the problem but did not believe Zhang Yide. Wang Jie was a very stubborn man and at that moment, he was only concerned about Ye Tianchen’s condition.

"Humph, that’s nonsense. You’re wrong, Divine Doctor Zhang. I think you should go see my brother’s injuries first. If you don’t have the medical skill to cure my brother, then you can leave. Don’t waste our time. As for your reputation as Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, perhaps it’s time for someone to take it over!" Wang Jie snorted coldly, speaking indignantly.

"Wang Jie, do not be disrespectful. Divine Doctor Zhang is only thinking of your welfare!" Wuxue quickly spoke up.

Last time Ye Tianchen was gravely injured, Wuxue had brought him to Zhang Yide, and despite being near death, Elder Brother Ye Tianchen survived and was cured by Zhang Yide. Wuxue had absolute faith in Zhang Yide’s medical skills. However, what puzzled Wuxue was why Zhang Yide seemed so indifferent to Ye Tianchen’s injuries this time, what exactly was going on?(To be continued.
