The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Past Memories
 

A large number of ghost insects swarmed into the ancestral hall from outside.

This scene was truly as if it were from a Hollywood disaster film, causing one to feel the hairs on their body stand on end, their hearts splitting with fear.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Many mercenaries’ bodies were pierced by the ghost insects, which entered their bodies and began to chew frenetically, devouring their flesh and blood.

Rivers of fresh blood spurted from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses.

Some ghost insects even bored through the mercenaries’ hard skulls, greedily feasting on their brain matter.

“Ahh~~~~~~~~!!!”

Heart-wrenching screams echoed one after another, and a thick scent of blood filled the air.

Many mercenaries fell to the ground. Some of them tried to flee in madness, but the moment they stepped out, they were engulfed by the flood-like swarm of ghost insects. Only skeletal remains were left behind after the tide of insects passed. It was a gruesome sight to behold.

Some mercenaries, choosing to fight till the end, swung their weapons wildly, severing the bodies of the ghost insects. Yet, the highly corrosive fluid from the insects splashed onto their faces and bodies. It was as if they were doused in sulfuric acid, their skin sizzling and smoking. The pain caused them to roll on the ground, trying to burrow their heads into the dirt as if they wished to die immediately.

“Little Long…Little Long…it’s over…there are too many…too many ghost insects…” Xia Ying, trembling, clung tightly around Huang Xiaolong’s waist. Her cheek pressed against Huang Xiaolong’s back, “Little Long, we’re going to die…there are too many ghost insects…there seems to be no end…we’re going to die…”

No wonder Xia Ying was desperate. Facing the endless swarm of ghost insects that seemed to multiply every second, it seemed impossible for Huang Xiaolong, no matter how powerful, to exterminate every single one of them.

On the brink of life and death, Xia Ying clung to Huang Xiaolong, pouring her heart out as if she were leaving a deathbed confession. “But…Little Long, I have no regrets! Dying with you…I…I feel content, really happy! You know, I fell in love with you back in Jiangnan City! Your pride at the ancient martial arts competition, your invincible dominance… and when… you saved me from the old cat-faced lady…I truly fell in love with you…”

Perhaps this was a manifestation of the saying, “When one is about to die, their words are also kind.”

By the end of her confession, Xia Ying’s fear had completely vanished. Instead, a tender expression graced her features, and her eyes gently closed, as if she were reminiscing about when they were in Jiangnan City and the extraordinary charm Huang Xiaolong had that captured her heart.

“Haha~~~ Miss, you can tell me this later.” Huang Xiaolong smiled wryly. “Didn’t you notice that these ghost insects don’t dare to approach me?”

Upon hearing his words, Xia Ying snapped out of her dream. Looking up, she saw that true enough, the swarm of ghost insects invading the ancestral hall were only attacking the mercenaries. They did not dare to come close to Huang Xiaolong as there seemed to be an aura coming from him that filled them with dread!

“Alright, time to get to work.” Huang Xiaolong gave a gentle smile. He immediately bit his finger, squeezing out a drop of golden blood.

Divine Blood!

The drop of blood hovered in mid-air, solid and undisperging.

Huang Xiaolong extended a finger, his expression serious. Using this droplet of blood, he traced an obscure talisman.

In an instant, the sound of chanting filled the area between heaven and earth!

The Divine Blood-drawn talisman radiated brilliantly, like a dazzling sun.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Inside the ancestral hall, one ghost insect after another burst and was rapidly incinerated into nothingness.

The mercenaries looked at Huang Xiaolong, their heads spinning, captivated, as if they were witnessing a god walking amongst mortals!

“Go~~~!!!!!”

Huang Xiaolong lightly slapped his hand. The blood mark gradually rose and flew up into the sky, it majestically shrouded the manor.

This sight was just like a real blazing sun hanging over the manor, emitting radiant light. It was truly as if a resplendent treasure was illuminating the area for thousands of miles, eliminating demons and ghosts from the void.

Inside the manor, it was not only the evil spirits, but all of the lonely ghosts, fierce ghosts, all of them under this light, directly exploded. Their dark blood splattered, their dark souls dispersed, and turned into specks of dust, dissipating in the air.

Strangle! Completely strangle! Strangle mercilessly!

Inside and outside the ancestral hall, all the bugs have been wiped out, leaving only the mercenaries who were horribly dead. However, fortunately, Huang Xiaolong promptly made a decision to use his Divine Blood to draw talismans to exterminate the evils. As a result, the Rock mercenary squad only lost tens of people in this wave, without being annihilated.

The lonely ghosts and fierce ghosts outside were continuously being strangled, emitting the cries of thousands of souls, the manor’s gloomy and resentful air was also constantly dissipating, and it began to brim with life.

Seeing this scene, the Rock mercenary soldiers, and even Xia Ying, felt as if they had witnessed a miracle with their own eyes.

The next second, hundreds of mercenary soldiers kneeled down to Huang Xiaolong again, their mouths shouting “Immortal”, they absolutely revered him and wished they could immediately offer him incense, treat him as a god, and pray for a safe life.

“Little Long…you’re too fantastic…?” Xia Ying looked at Huang Xiaolong with incredulous eyes. “It seems…you’ve killed all the fierce ghosts in the entire manor…that’s amazing…truly too amazing…”

“There’s nothing fantastic about it. My blood talisman is naturally powerfully destructive, not to mention ordinary ghosts, even a ghost king would die. My blood is Divine Blood. Nevermind, you would not understand even if I told you.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

Of the talisman, the yellow paper talisman is the lowest in grade, followed by the jade talisman, stone talisman, wood talisman, etc., and then the blood talisman.

Being a ghost officer, the blood talisman drawn out is naturally disastrous.

“Let’s go, let’s go out and see.” Huang Xiaolong took Xia Ying’s hand and walked out of the ancestral hall.

The Rock mercenary soldiers and others followed behind hastily.

By then, the blood talisman in the night sky gradually faded and dissipated.

And the large manor, showed a kind of cleanliness, tranquility, and elegance.

All the filth has been eradicated.

“Little Long, did you also get rid of the old ghost who cursed the Shui Family?” Xia Ying marveled happily.

“It’s still hiding underneath.” Huang Xiaolong pointed to the underground with his hand.

“Aha~ I already know about this old matter.” Huang Xiaolong found a cool pavilion and sat down, letting go of Xia Ying’s hand. He fiddled around on his body, intending to find a cigarette to smoke, but found out he didn’t have any. So, he turned to the kneeling mercenary soldiers. “Do you have a cigarette?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Rock hurriedly came over with a bent waist, holding a cigarette in both hands respectfully to Huang Xiaolong, and then lit it for him.

Huang Xiaolong took a puff on his cigarette and said, “Em…The Shui family was originally a witchcraft family during the Ming and Qing Dynasty, they excelled at nurturing bugs, and even learned the headmaster’s art from Nanyang. In the sixth generation of the Shui family, the Family Head was Shui Xiao, under his hand, witchcraft, bug spells, and the headmaster’s art were fully exploited, allowing the Shui family to cunningly plunder, thus establishing a great foundation. They ruled all over Shaanxi Province, even local court officials deeply feared the Shui Family.”

Huang Xiaolong was recounting this past history.

“Later on, the Shui family welcomed a servant. His name was ‘Li Dezheng’.” A smirk appeared at the corner of Huang Xiaolong’s mouth. “Li Dezheng is the old ghost who has cursed the Shui family for 200 years.”

“According to Shui Xiao’s family records, he personally recorded that Li Dezheng was extremely cunning—”
