Chapter 420: The Power of Killing Intent

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Power of Killing Intent

In those three strands of killing intent, there was a thread of Fang Bai’s Divine Sense, condensed with all his combat power. As long as someone threatened Wang Miaomiao’s life, the killing intent would be triggered, and it would retaliate automatically in proportion to the threat: weaker against the weak, stronger against the strong.

The punch Nangong Ming had thrown posed a grave threat to Wang Miaomiao’s life, prompting one strand of killing intent to burst forth from the Jade Pendant before her own fist could strike, rushing to meet Nangong Ming’s attack.

"Not good!"

Nangong Ming sensed that terrifying surge of killing intent rising to the skies almost immediately, his face drastically changing color.

He was not unfamiliar with the sudden eruption of killing intent. Previously, at the "World Traditional Medicine Conference" during the medical skills exchange, he had released a "Fire Dragon Silkworm" to bite Wang Miaomiao, but ultimately failed. It was a similar strand of killing intent that had slain the "Fire Dragon Silkworm".

What terrified Nangong Ming was that the current killing intent bearing down on him was countless times stronger than the one that had killed the "Fire Dragon Silkworm". Even the elders of the Ghost Doctor Valley with Earth Level high rank strength, putting forth their full power in a single strike, could do no more.

Could this be the might of a Spiritual Artifact?

Suddenly, Nangong Ming recalled that Wang Miaomiao might possess a Spiritual Artifact refined by cultivators, and he couldn’t help but regret his oversight, thinking that he had let this crucial detail slip his mind.

Had he known earlier, he would have sought some expendable martial artists from the Ghost Doctor Sect to deplete the killing intent stored in the Spiritual Artifact on Wang Miaomiao’s person. Then he could have made his appearance and reaped the benefits like a fisherman enjoying the spoils.

But now, it was already too late for regrets.

Before Nangong Ming could retract his punch to dodge, the killing intent had already brutally struck his fist.

Bang——

As Nangong Ming’s fist collided with the invisible killing qi, it surprisingly made a muffled sound, like thunder.

Nangong Ming felt an overwhelmingly powerful and domineering force crazily rushing into his fist, traveling up his arm and swiftly spreading throughout his entire body.

Spurt——

Nangong Ming’s body shook violently as if struck by lightning, a tangy sweetness filled his throat, followed by a spurt of fresh blood erupting forth.

And his right arm, the one he had used to attack Wang Miaomiao, snapped under the impact of that fearsome force, hanging limply by his side.

"I hate this!"

Nangong Ming, gravely injured and unsure of how many more powerful strands of killing intent Wang Miaomiao’s Spiritual Artifact could unleash, was filled with dread. Not daring to stay a moment longer, he left behind a wail full of resentment, sounding as if it came from the depths of hell, and quickly fled.

Whew——

Watching Nangong Ming’s figure disappearing into the night, Wang Miaomiao let out a long breath of relief, wiping away the cold sweat that had beaded on her forehead, leaning against the mountain wall beside the path to keep herself from collapsing.

"This Jade Pendant has saved me once again! Three strands of killing intent represent three chances at life, yet I’ve already used two, what a pity!"

After recuperating on the spot for a moment, Wang Miaomiao’s spirits lifted slightly. She took out the Jade Pendant hanging at her chest, her face showing a look of painful regret.

Fang Bai had warned her before that Nangong Ming had a killing intent towards her and might do something crazy. She didn’t expect it to come true so soon.

If it weren’t for the life-saving Jade Pendant, Wang Miaomiao would likely already be lying dead on the scene, her life extinguished as if snuffed out.

More than ten minutes later, over a dozen white figures hurried along the mountain path to arrive, from the "Doctor Pavilion," rushing to aid their fellow sect member; leading them was Wang Miaomiao’s master, Zhu Ying.

"What? Nangong Ming actually ambushed you halfway? Preposterous!"

After listening to Wang Miaomiao recount her harrowing experience, Zhu Ying couldn’t help but rage furiously, "Miaomiao, let’s go, we’ll return to the mountain first and report this matter to Wen Pavilion Master. I believe Wen Pavilion Master will definitely seek justice for you! Hmph, no matter if that Nangong Ming is a ’Ghost Doctor Sect’ disciple or not, he can’t escape his ties with the ’Ghost Doctor Sect’!"

That very night, upon learning that their disciple Wang Miaomiao had been ambushed by Nangong Ming, the master of the "Doctor Pavilion," Wen Yu, was equally enraged and decided on the spot to lead Wang Miaomiao and the high-ranking members of the "Doctor Pavilion" to confront Sikong Lieyang and Nangong Yang at the "Ghost Doctor Sect’s" Yanjing branch face-to-face.

The "World Traditional Medicine Conference" had just concluded not long ago; the "Ghost Doctor Sect" disciples should still be in Yanjing.

If, after a face-to-face confrontation, it was confirmed that Nangong Ming was indeed responsible for ambushing Wang Miaomiao and Sikong Lieyang refused to hand him over, then given Wen Yu’s temper, he would absolutely mobilize the full force of the "Doctor Pavilion" for a battle with the "Ghost Doctor Sect."

However, Nangong Ming’s identity was mysterious, and it was uncertain whether he truly came from the Hidden Sect as rumors suggested, which made Wen Yu somewhat apprehensive.

If they punished Nangong Ming and provoked retaliation from his mysterious backing, it could spell disaster for the "Doctor Pavilion."

Before descending the mountain, Wen Yu thought it over and decided to first have Wang Miaomiao contact Fang Bai to inform him of the situation, to see what he would suggest.

Based on Fang Bai’s previous actions, Wen Yu suspected that he might, like Nangong Ming, have a background in the Hidden Sect; otherwise, it was unimaginable for someone in their twenties to possess such exceptional medical and martial skills.

If Fang Bai was willing to stand up for Wang Miaomiao, it would prove that he truly had a Hidden Sect background and feared neither Nangong Ming nor the powers behind him. In that case, with Fang Bai and his Hidden Sect’s support, the "Doctor Pavilion" wouldn’t have to worry about retaliation.

Wang Miaomiao also felt it necessary to discuss the matter with Fang Bai, so she took out her phone and dialed Fang Bai’s number in front of Wen Yu and others.

Strangely, for some reason, Fang Bai’s phone was switched off at the time.

Unable to reach Fang Bai, Wen Yu did not act rashly and sent disciples from the pavilion to monitor the "Ghost Doctor Sect" disciples’ movements, to prevent them from escaping overnight, deciding to wait until daylight to take further action.

...

When Wang Miaomiao tried to contact Fang Bai with her phone, Fang Bai was standing atop a towering mountain peak outside of Yanjing City, his eyes sharp and indifferent as he overlooked a black figure speeding away at the foot of the mountain.

The figure in the black robe, with disheveled long hair and an arm dangling limply as though broken, hurried away. Every now and then, it looked back as if worried about being pursued.

Under the light of the stars and the moon, the features of the black silhouette were faintly visible – who else could it be but Nangong Ming?

Nangong Ming had not expected that his attempt to ambush Wang Miaomiao would backfire, and he ended up wounded by the killing intent inside her Jade Pendant. Filled with a chilling fear, he immediately fled to find a secluded place to recover from his injuries.

"The three strands of killing intent I embedded in the Jade Pendant are equivalent to the full-strength attack of an Earth Level mid-rank expert. That this guy only lost an arm to the counterattack from the killing intent, he’s lucky to be alive!"

Watching Nangong Ming’s embarrassing escape, a sneer appeared on Fang Bai’s lips.

"However... you might escape the killing intent’s counterattack, but don’t expect to escape from me! What does it matter if you’re a disciple of the Hidden Sect? I will still show no mercy in killing you!"

A cold glint flashed in Fang Bai’s eyes, and with arms outstretched like a hawk soaring from the mountaintop, he dived towards the fleeing Nangong Ming. (PS: Please vote! Please reward!)
