Chapter 127 – Annihilated
Nangong Yu looked down at them with an indifferent expression, his bloodshot eyes covered with a layer of frost, "Speak! If you tell me who the mastermind is, I"ll let the a.s.sa.s.sins from Drought Demon Organisation off."
That means that he really intends to destroy all of the a.s.sa.s.sins from Drought Demon Organisation if they don"t reveal anything!
The hopeful expression on the leader"s face crumpled, changing into one of utter despair. But, when facing this excessively strong young man, he didn"t have any courage to resist answering, "We…we don"t know who requested the mission. All the Drought Demon Organisation deals with is receiving the mission from the black market, we just take the money without asking questions."
"Since this is the case…" The corner of Nangong Yu"s mouth raised into a cruel smile, "Then your existence is unnecessary."
He had barely spoken, when a bright ball of spiritual power suddenly formed on his slightly raised left hand.
The a.s.sa.s.sin kneeling at Nangong Yu"s feet screamed with fear and he wanted to flee, but without being able to take even a single step, the ball of spiritual power ball wrapped itself around his body, and that of the other a.s.sa.s.sin.
Soon after their bodies felt like there was something drilling into them, and the surface of their skin began to swell with uneven b.u.mps.
"Ah ah ah ah—!!" The a.s.sa.s.sins screamed in pain, and following that their bodies ripped apart, leaving only blood and bones splattered around.
However, the ball of spiritual power hadn"t finished its destruction yet, continuing to burn the blood and bones with a faint blue flame until it completely eroded everything, leaving nothing but ash. Only then did the spiritual fire slowly disappear without a trace.
Nangong Yu glanced at the wind spreading the ash of the two a.s.sa.s.sins into the air. Then sneering, he held Hexi, and rapidly flew back to h.e.l.l King Manor.
h.e.l.l King Manor.
Qing Long, Bai Hu, and Zhu Que were standing at the gate, from time to time they would look at the sky with worried expressions.
Bai Hu incessantly muttered out of nervousness, "It"s already reached this point, the time when Master"s illness is about to flare, so why would he suddenly go out? Why has he still not returned?"
At this moment, Zhu Que who was standing next to him had her face covered with a veil, concealing that eye catching scar.
Hearing what was said, her eyes filled with worry, "Qing Long, do you know why Master went out today, leaving his closed door cultivation early?"
It was to lift the seal on Xi Yue, the Genius Doctor Xi"s dantian!
Of course Qing Long knew what his Master went out to do, and he extremely disagreed with it. But Master is the Master, and as long as he is commanded not to say anything, even if Qing Long was anxious, he would never speak without permission.
He has always been quiet from the beginning, refusing to answer any questions, so Bai Hu and Zhu Que weren"t surprised.
However, as Qing Long looked at the sky for a long while, a gloomy expression covered his face and he opened his mouth to say, "Bai Hu, Zhu Que, if someone"s existence will harm Master, but Master wouldn"t hesitate to protect him, you…what would you do?"
Bai Hu answered, "Of course Master"s will is the priority!"
While Zhu Que answered, "Of course the cheap person who will threaten Master must be killed!"
The two people almost responded in unison, and after they finished speaking they looked at each other in dismay, each with a complicated expression on their face. Even Qing Long"s eyebrows were creased, his face twisted.
Just then, Qing long"s expression lit up and he shouted with a low voice, "Master"s returned!"
The next moment, Nangong Yu descended from the sky with his robes floating around him, landing by h.e.l.l King Manor"s big gate.
Qing Long was just about to come forward, wanting to follow, when suddenly he looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y figure in Master"s arms, his eyes opening wide, "Master, this…is this Genius Doctor Xi?!"
Chapter 128 – Closed Door Healing
Hexi"s appearance at this time was still bright, elegant, and exquisite, but because her disguise was removed, coupled with her hair loose and blowing in the wind, with just a glance Qing Long was able to see that this is Genius Doctor Xi…and that she is a girl!
Moreover, her appearance is so devastatingly beautiful that it is capable of causing the downfall of a city! It was even more impressive when you factored in that she is only a young girl yet has peerless medical expertise!
Qing Long sucked in a gulp of cold air, he was always calm and collected yet couldn"t help but blurt out, "Genius Doctor Xi is a woman?!"
It"s no wonder then! No wonder that Master cared about and cherished her so much, no wonder that on the carriage Master was like that…with her.
Standing on the side, Zhu Que was also able to recognise Hexi"s ident.i.ty with just a glance. Yet when she noticed that Hexi"s sallow and ugly face has now become so beautiful, both her hands clenched tightly, while her heart raged the words "Impossible, impossible!" repeatedly.
This abominable s.l.u.t! First she destroyed her appearance, making her ashamed to appear in front of Master. Now she exposed a delicate, pitiful, and charming fox-like appearance to seduce Master…so shameless! It"s simply too shameless!
Zhu Que"s eyes reddened, and firmly glaring at the unconscious Hexi, she was unaware that the veil on her face had slipped off.
She wanted to rush over and tear that face apart, pull her out from Nangong Yu"s arms and ruthlessly throw her to the ground. The hate born out of jealously in her heart was like a burning flame, causing the scar on her face to constantly twist. Resembling a centipede crawling on her beautiful face, it made her features look distorted and hideous.
Yet why would Nangong Yu care about the reactions of his subordinates at this time. Glancing at the girl in his arms whose breathing was gradually growing weaker, his eyes darkened as he coldly said, "I will heal Xi Er behind closed doors, prepare the best medicinal pills and send them in. Qing Long, you guard the door, without my order no one is allowed to enter."
Qing Long always obeyed Nangong Yu"s orders, yet when he heard what was he said his heart thumped loudly, and looking at Hexi he murmured, "Master, it"s time for you to…"
Nangong Yu"s icy gaze sharply swept over Qing Long, instantly silencing him. His eyebrows creased as he followed behind Nangong Yu.
Yet Zhu Que was finally unable to bear it any longer and rushed over, landed to her knees with plop in front of Nangong Yu, and cried as she said, "Master, you are now at the moment between life and death, you absolutely can not harm your body for an insignificant person! If Master wants to save Miss Nalan, you may hand her over to this subordinate. This subordinate is a fifth ranked doctor, I"ll certainly be able to heal Miss Nalan"s injury."
"That"s right, Master!" Even Bai Hu could no longer endure it and said, "Genius…Miss Nalan seems to have only suffered superficial wounds, and Zhu Que"s medical expertise is excellent, so there"ll definitely be no problem for her to treat her injury. Master, you should quickly return to closed door cultivation, otherwise…"
Other people may not have realised, but they were trusted subordinates. They were able to clearly detect that Nangong Yu"s originally fair skin had now become more transparent, and that the blood flow in his body had also begun to slow, causing his hands and feet to gradually turn cold.
While it looked like nothing judging by the Master"s appearance, in truth, his body is suffering from great pain.
Nangong Yu didn"t even look at Zhu Que as he sneeringly said, "My matters are not for all of you to decide. Qing Long, don"t make me order you a second time!"
"Master—!!" Zhu Que exclaimed, but when she raised her head again, she didn"t see Master"s figure anymore.
Nangong Yu"s bedroom was restricted in h.e.l.l King Manor, so as the bedroom door firmly closed, Qing Long took up a position outside the door to guard it, his face cold and calm.
