Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

A few seconds later, the BMW came to a stop in front of the group.

Under everyone's gaze, Guo Man and Xia Liu stepped out of the car.

At the sight of Xia Liu, Liang Yu's fists tightened.

He had seen the video from the hotel—the man named Xia Liu was the same one standing before him!

"Grandpa Zhuge!"

"Little Man, why are you here?"

Zhuge Yingtian asked with a hint of puzzlement.

Actually, it wasn't him who made the call earlier; it was Guo Ye, who was standing beside him.

He was Guo Man's cousin. In this matter, the Guo Family held the upper hand. Now that the parties involved were present, if Liang Yu still wanted to stir trouble...

Guo Ye wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

"Grandpa Zhuge, you should have informed me right away."

"Guo Man, shouldn't you give my Liang Family an explanation for this matter?"

Before Guo Man could say much, Liang Yu interrupted coldly.

"An explanation to your Liang Family? What Liang Chao did to me is backed by evidence. If it weren't for Xia Liu and Lina, I might not be standing here. Who exactly owes whom an explanation?"

Guo Man's gaze shifted sharply, her cold aura spreading.

Even if she had to face an army, she wouldn't back down if she was on the side of reason.

"Ha! Everyone used their own methods—you got caught because you were no match. But your bodyguard went so far as to shoot Liang Chao. Isn't that going too far?"

"Calling it my bodyguard shooting? If Liang Chao hadn't threatened someone's life with a gun, how would he have been shot?"

"Hmph! How can they compare to Liang Chao? And you, Guo Man—you've known about Liang Chao's feelings for you. Why do you keep pushing him, driving him to madness for your amusement?"

Liang Yu was furious, leaving Xia Liu and Lina aside for the moment.

Guo Man had been rejecting Liang Chao for years.

This kind of persistent rejection could drive anyone into insanity.

At this point, Liang Chao was already showing signs of madness.

"Not liking someone is simply not liking them. And to me, everyone is important; everyone has their right to exist in this world and has value."

Guo Man understood the implications in Liang Yu's words.

Was Liang Chao considered human while others weren't?

Was Liang Chao truly even human?

"If we have nothing in common, then let's drop the talk. Hand over those bodyguards, Xia Liu and Lina."

"Liang Yu, if you want trouble, I'll oblige you."

At this moment, Guo Ye stepped forward. The feud between the Liang and Guo Families had been passed down for generations.

If Liang Yu wanted to use this moment to cause chaos, so be it. Who was afraid of whom?

"Guo Ye, are you really going to stand up for two insignificant lives?"

Finally, Liang Yu voiced what he had been holding back. In his eyes, ordinary people were insignificant.

"In your eyes, are all other lives so worthless?"

As Guo Ye was about to explode, an unexpected voice broke in.

Even Zhuge Yingtian and Li Bai were surprised.

The voice belonged to none other than Xia Liu, who had come along with Guo Man.

"Xia Liu, don't speak. This has nothing to do with you."

Guo Man hurriedly stopped Xia Liu.

She knew well of Liang Yu's arrogance.

Of course, that arrogance was justified, since he was a Martial Artist!

Guo Ye and Liang Yu simultaneously scrutinized Xia Liu.

Aside from his slim build and good looks, there didn't seem to be anything special about him.

Xia Liu didn't respond, his gaze remaining frosty.

He had encountered people like Liang Yu before.

They were much like the Liu Family, one of the Super Clans in Yanjing.

The Liu Family had ultimately fallen into decline. Martial Artists who held such views never met good ends.

"Kid, I didn't come after you, yet you dare to lecture me?"

"Liang Yu, there's a limit to everything. If you want trouble, I'm ready to face you."

Guo Ye quickly stepped between Liang Yu and Xia Liu. Xia Liu was protecting Guo Man, which was right; even if he had accidentally killed Liang Chao in the process, Guo Ye would ensure Xia Liu's safety.

"I'll come for you later. Right now, my target is him."

Liang Yu pointed directly at Xia Liu.

"Xia Liu..."

"President Guo, this has gone beyond just your dispute with him."

When Liang Yu had declared that human lives were worthless, Xia Liu had already made up his mind—Liang Yu had to pay the price!

Using his Divine Sense, Xia Liu easily discerned Liang Yu's cultivation level.

Even though Liang Yu tried to hide it, it was futile: Earth-Rank Primary Level!

"Heh! You've got guts, kid. Since that's the case, let's follow the Jianghu World's rules—sign a death pact, and the winner earns the right to continue existing."

"Liang Yu! Are you serious about this?"

Guo Ye couldn't take it anymore. Jianghu had rules, but not the kind of relentless, life-or-death ones Liang Yu was invoking!

"What if I am serious? Want to find out?"

As Liang Yu stepped forward, the fierce aura of his Earth-Rank Primary Level cultivation surged outward.

Everyone nearby felt an unprecedented level of pressure.

Even the military officers waiting in the car struggled to breathe.

"Earth-Rank Primary Level!"

Feeling the terrifying force, Guo Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

"Earth-Rank Warrior!"

Guo Man was also shaken.

Though she couldn't cultivate herself, she could sense the cultivation levels of Martial Artists.

Liang Yu's aura was clearly stronger than Guo Ye's.

"Is this what gives you your sense of superiority?"

Yet, to everyone's disbelief, Xia Liu remained unaffected. Instead, he appeared to look down on Liang Yu.

"You..."

Guo Man stared at Xia Liu in surprise. Was he completely unscathed? Could he be a hidden master?

"Oh? So, you're some kind of anomaly—unaffected by a Martial Artist's pressure. But hurting Liang Chao means you must be prepared to face the consequences."

Liang Yu was momentarily astonished but quickly moved past it.

This world had no shortage of oddities, particularly among those hailing from the Mainland.

In remote forests, there might be items or materials capable of resisting Martial Artist pressure.

Upon reaching Earth Rank, Liang Yu had gained the ability to probe his own condition and sense surrounding energies.

He was certain Xia Liu had no cultivation level.

Just an ordinary man who might be slightly stronger than most.

Records indicated that Xia Liu had served in the military and was supposedly a King of Soldiers.

But without cultivation, that was all he amounted to.

Compared to the revered status of Martial Artists, ordinary people were worthless!

"If I'm not mistaken, Harbor City has a rule stating that Martial Artists aren't allowed to harm ordinary people."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Xia Liu voiced a truth about the constraints Martial Artists faced in Harbor City.

"How do you know about this?"

To be honest, Liang Yu was a bit shaken.

It was surprising that Xia Liu knew about this rule, which meant dealing with him would become more complicated.

"Indeed, how does he know?"

Even Guo Man found herself silently questioning. Xia Liu was merely someone from the Mainland—how could he have such knowledge about Harbor City's Martial Artist regulations?

"Before I came here, my former commander told me—unless under extraordinary circumstances, Martial Artists must not reveal themselves publicly. So, I'm not afraid of you."

"Your former commander—was it General Fang Huasheng?"

Upon hearing Xia Liu mention a commander, Zhuge Yingtian suddenly had a revelation. This man was the same one Guo Man had asked for a special forces-related dossier on...
