Chapter 523 - 523 523
523: 523 523: 523 At this moment in the Qin family’s medical clinic, Dugu Wushang sat quietly in the middle of the hall, contemplating something unknown.
As for Zhong Yuanliang, he had gone to sleep early.
In Dugu Wushang’s view, Yuan Liang really had a big heart, able to sleep in any environment.
In his mind, there were only two things, eating and practicing martial arts, and now there was probably a third one—Zhang Yalin.
Dugu Wushang seemed to be pondering his own destiny, Xiao Jing…
Outside the Qin family’s medical clinic, a figure arrived quietly, checking the surroundings.
The shadow hidden under the tree opposite the clinic murmured,
“This must be the place, I wonder if the prescription is here?”
Looking at the walls of the clinic, the figure leaped up the next moment, and upon landing, was already inside the clinic grounds.
“Who?” A cold snort sounded.
Under the soft moonlight, Dugu Wushang’s figure appeared beneath the night sky, locking eyes with the man in black, who let out a sneer and said, “The great Dugu Wushang ranked second in the heavenly list, reduced to gatekeeping here—what a fall from grace!”
Having said this, the man in black unhesitatingly stood opposite Dugu Wushang, showing no intention of retreating.
Since he had been discovered, there was no point in hiding any longer.
Dugu Wushang observed the man in black before him, his expression turned exceedingly grave, for he could not see through the man’s cultivation level.
“Even in my worst moments, I wouldn’t stoop to the level of a sneaky thief,” Dugu Wushang snorted coldly, “Since you’re here, don’t bother leaving!”
The next moment, the tang dao sword fiercely unsheathed, its blade flashing like lightning, bringing with it gusts of wind as it swept toward the man in black.
A faint smile appeared on the man in black’s face as he manifested multiple afterimages, heading straight for Dugu Wushang.
“Let me see what skills you have to earn you the second rank on the heavenly list!”
After one move, Dugu Wushang’s figure paused, then he staggered backward more than a dozen steps before steadying himself, whereas the man in black stood firm, not budging an inch.
“Earth realm!” Dugu Wushang’s eyes revealed a touch of shock, as he solemnly uttered the words.
The man in black chuckled, saying with a smile, “You’re quite perceptive, it’s not too disappointing.”
“With your martial prowess, you’re definitely not a nobody, why then do you skulk in the shadows?” Dugu Wushang asked coldly.
“You’re not worthy of knowing,” the man retorted with a cold snort.
Just then, a figure appeared in the courtyard, lightning-fast, launching an attack on the dark figure with sword lights blossoming like lotus flowers, aiming at the man in black.
“Don’t, be careful!” Dugu Wushang hastily called out, but it was already too late.
The newcomer was none other than Zhong Yuanliang, whom the fight between Dugu Wushang and the man in black had awakened.
However, he didn’t make a sound but waited for the right opportunity to act.
Seeing Dugu Wushang at a disadvantage, Yuan Liang hesitated no more and directed his attack towards the man in black!
“Insignificant skills, daring to show off!” The man in black snorted disdainfully.
In the next moment, as he turned around, Yuan Liang felt an overwhelming force approaching and then blacked out.
In that instant, all he saw was a blade light soaring into the sky directed at the man in black, followed by dizziness, and then he lost consciousness.
Under the night sky, the man in black looked at Dugu Wushang escaping with Yuan Liang, letting out a cold laugh.
Then, he glanced at his palm, where a shocking wound was visible.
“Worthy of the second rank on the heavenly list, to have nearly reached the threshold of the Earth realm.
But why is he here guarding the door for Qin Han?
Could Qin Han have reached the Heavenly realm?
Impossible, reaching the Heavenly realm is exceedingly difficult,” the man in black mused to himself.
In the next moment, he vanished into the medical clinic with a flicker.
At that moment, Dugu Wushang, who was carrying Zhong Yuanliang on his back, suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood.
With a trace of fear in his eyes, if it had not been for Qin Han’s previous guidance, let alone saving Zhong Yuanliang, even he himself would have likely found it difficult to escape unscathed when facing that person.
Meanwhile, in the medical clinic, a figure kept searching to no avail.
“Hm?”
The next instant, the man in black furrowed his brow, then his eyes lit up with delight!
A warrior of the Earthly tier was extremely sensitive to Spiritual Energy, and he had sensed a tremendously strong Spiritual Energy.
“To think that this modest clinic would actually contain a treasured item!” the man in black murmured to himself.
Immediately, like searching his own pockets, he moved swiftly toward the source of the Spiritual Energy.
Upon reaching Qin Han’s inner chamber, the man in black looked at the object before him.
His eyes shone with joy, and he couldn’t help exclaiming, “It’s nearly a thousand-year-old ginseng, with this, the trip wasn’t in vain after all.”
His hand moved like lightning to grab the ginseng, and as he examined it, he couldn’t suppress the elated expression on his face, chuckling to himself, “Haha, I was in need of a top-notch ingredient for my medicine refining.
Never did I expect to find it here.
Although I didn’t get the prescription, this is still a stroke of luck!”
As the man in black was marveling at the ginseng, he suddenly let out an astonished cry, “Ah!
It’s poisoned!
Despicable!”
His palm turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, beginning to rot away starting from the fingers that had touched the ginseng, and the speed of the decay was astonishingly fast.
The man in black quickly pulled out a bottle of powder and sprinkled it on his hand, to no avail, as it couldn’t halt the rotting.
Now, his face dripping with sweat from the pain, and seeing his entire palm about to decay away, he gritted his teeth, determinedly drew a short blade he carried with him, and chopped off his entire wrist.
“Ah!” The man in black let out a piercing, desolate scream, his voice filled with resentment, “Qin Han!
I will have my bloody revenge!”
Not far away, Dugu Wushang heard the heart-wrenching scream, and even without being inside the clinic, he could tell the despair in that cry.
What exactly had happened?
Could it be that Mr.
Qin had returned?
Dugu Wushang thought to himself.
Soon after, Dugu Wushang stopped pondering and started running towards the clinic with Yuan Liang on his back, but upon returning, he didn’t see the man in black from before, only a rotting hand left on the ground.
He was shocked as he realized that Mr.
Qin had indeed prepared for such an eventuality.
No wonder he emphasized so much that without his permission, no one should enter his inner chamber.
And he had also told him and Yuan Liang to retreat quickly should they find themselves overpowered.
In the cold, early morning hours, the Qin Medical Clinic was brightly lit, and Dugu Wushang’s lips were stained with a trace of blood, his eyes showing a hint of shame.
Qin Han glanced at where the ginseng had been, a severed hand now lying on the ground.
“The one who injured you both with a single strike must be at least near the Earthly level; you need not feel guilty.
Moreover, this person is quite decisive, chopping off his own hand when he couldn’t resolve the poison—he’s a ruthless character,” Qin Han said to Dugu Wushang with a wave of his hand.
Qin Han hadn’t expected someone to actually dare to infiltrate his clinic.
He had simply thought to prepare this contingency earlier that day, not to mention whether the man in black was associated with the same people behind Wang Yifeng, or if there was another force equally coveting the prescription.
After cleaning up the site, Qin Han approached Yuan Liang, who was pallid and lying on the ground, unable to stand.
To withstand a hit from an Earthly tier warrior was no easy task.
That man was audaciously bold to even attempt a sneak attack; if not for Dugu Wushang’s intervention causing the assailant to withdraw most of his strength, Yuan Liang would probably have been beyond saving by the time Qin Han arrived.
“Am I dying, Mr.
Qin?” Yuan Liang asked weakly.
