Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Six Hundred Forty-Five After a furious onslaught, Long Xiaoshan once again went into hiding. Qiu Zhen let out a wild roar but didn't stop his offensive, continuing to bombard the formation, intent on breaking it. But Long Xiaoshan wouldn't let him have his way. With a grab of his hand, several Jade Talismans appeared. These Jade Talismans, refined from top-grade jade, each surpass ordinary talismans in power significantly. The materials used were at least of the glass-type, with astounding cost. The material value for a single Jade Talisman was over a million. The value would be even more astonishing if the talisman production process was taken into account. However, Long Xiaoshan did not hesitate to throw those Jade Talismans. Thick tree vines crazily grew from the ground, winding towards Qiu Zhen. Qiu Zhen severed many vines, but their number was too great. Unless he leapt off the Unihorn Stone, Qiu Zhen swiftly stepped on the ground and leapt into the air. Just then, several large fireballs came howling towards him. Qiu Zhen let out a breath in mid-air and vocalized. Several palms struck out, and white True Gang Palms condensed from Inner Strength slapped onto the fireballs, triggering violent explosions. "Boom, boom!" Fire mushrooms clouds rose in the sky, shockwaves swept across, bringing strong gales that shook the spectators standing tens of meters away, their faces stricken with awe. This was hardly something human power could achieve; it was more like the explosions of military weapons. Though the people of the Secret Sects knew of a Grandmaster's strength, they seldom had the chance to see one exert their full power. At the Grandmaster level, who were almost beyond the mundane world, why would they deign to act lightly? Hence, they had not witnessed such intense fighting. Though Long Xiaoshan was not a Grandmaster, he was proficient in Divine Technique Mastery, commanding Divine Skills. The power of Divine Skills was formidable, nearly equal to that of a Grandmaster. It allowed everyone to finally witness the legendary Master Long's astonishing Divine Techniques. "Incredibly powerful, no wonder Master Long dared to challenge Sect Leader Qiu." "It seems we underestimated Master Long's strength; he had not been using his true power just now. His strongest attribute is his Divine Techniques, and only now he's employing them." "Such a formidable Divine Technique, could it be that Master Long is truly a Grand Spirit Master?" The intense glare from the explosions, the boiling shockwaves, made the powerful onlookers pale as death, thinking that had they been up there, they would probably have already been blown into smithereens. If that was how they felt, Nie Hongxue and the other heirs were even more shocked and speechless, only able to stare at the arena with vacant eyes. "My God, are these really two people fighting? Are you sure it's not an army at war?" Wu Tianhao said with a trembling voice. Aside from shock, he also felt fear. Just moments ago at the foot of the mountain, he had been displeased with Long Xiaoshan and even thought about retaliating against him. After all, Nie Qi, whom he was interested in, had actually taken the initiative to show goodwill towards Long Xiaoshan. His master, the elder with the surname Huang, however, had trembling hands and eyes burning with fervor as he stared at the arena, unaware of his own disciple's remarks, murmuring, "A Grandmaster's battle, a true Grandmaster's battle. Never did I imagine that in this life, I would have the opportunity to witness such a thrilling duel. I could die without regrets now." He was once a person of the Secret Sects, but because he had suffered a severe injury and could no longer continue to practice the Martial Dao, he opened a Martial Arts School in the secular world. Yet, deep in his heart, he never cut off his longing for Martial Dao; otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles just to watch. Nie Hongxue clenched her teeth tightly. Her eyes widened as she watched the energy and flame raging on the stage, feeling as if the beliefs of her entire life had been overturned. To tell the truth, although she had some understanding of Martial Dao and practiced martial arts herself, as a member of the Nie Family and the King of Soldiers in the military, she inherently looked down on the Martial Dao. She only felt that in modern society, firearms ruled and cold weapons had long been in decline. "What Grandmaster," she thought, "just a few special forces fully armed, setting up tactics for a decapitation strike, and with one blast of firearms, the Grandmaster would be dead." But now, she realized what 'Martial Dao shocks the heavens', 'Divine Technique Mastery', and what 'Grandmaster Divine Dragon' meant. In the face of such heavenly Martial Dao and Divine Skills, what could common guns and artillery amount to? Certainly, the military could surround and suppress a Grandmaster, but mobilizing the army was such a big deal that even the Nie Family couldn't easily command the troops. Moreover, a Grandmaster isn't a stationary target; he moves without shadow and vanishes without trace. If you truly anger him, no matter how powerful or wealthy you are, or even if you are a person of great value, with a single slice of his sword—or by striking from the shadows—he could exterminate your entire family and then disappear under a new identity to a faraway land. Even if the army were mobilized, you might not be able to catch him. Perhaps, in terms of large-scale warfare, the personal power of a Grandmaster seems insignificant, but in ordinary society, where even firearms are prohibited, a Grandmaster is like a nuclear bomb—an existence that even noble families like the Nie Family could not afford to provoke. Although he was the eldest son of the Nie Family, in the face of a Grandmaster, he was as insignificant as an ant. No wonder Long Xiaoshan could disregard him. Although Long Xiaoshan was not a Grandmaster, the strength he showed now was not much less than that of a Grandmaster. Standing next to Nie Hongxue, Nie Qi's eyes sparkled as she watched the stage. Her eyes shone brightly. Initially, when she tried to seduce Long Xiaoshan at the base of the mountain, it was to help Nie Hongxue, and she did so reluctantly. After being rejected by Long Xiaoshan, she was angry and thought that he was ungrateful, but she never expected Long Xiaoshan to be this strong. Strong to the point of being looked up to. A young, handsome, and immensely powerful man; even as the princess of the Nie Family, she couldn't help but be moved, thinking that this was the kind of man Nie Qi wanted. Compared with this master whose Divine Skills reached the heavens and who controlled thunder and fire, what were those elites from Noble Families and wealthy second generations she had encountered before? Qiu Zhen shattered several fireballs right in the sky, the flames rolling around. Although they had not reached him thanks to the thick Gang Qi Inner Strength surrounding him... ...yet the explosive power of those fireballs was no less than that of a grenade. Even as a Grandmaster, he was forced to keep retreating by the blasts. At that moment, Long Xiaoshan harnessed the power of thunder and lightning, stepping out into the void like the Thunder God himself, and threw an arm-thick bolt of lightning. With a crack, the Electric Snake coiled and turned in nine paths, moving with extreme speed. Qiu Zhen was taken by surprise and couldn't defend in time, getting hit directly by the lightning. Crack! The lightning burst, and Qiu Zhen grunted, his clothes charred and shattered by the electric strike. Although his Gang Qi was strong, the intense electricity still caused his body to go numb. Seeing Qiu Zhen's body stiffen, Long Xiaoshan seized the opportunity and attacked with his Flame Blade in hand. An unparalleled surge of Flame Blade energy swept across, turning into a crimson crescent moon. The intense blade light reached Qiu Zhen's neck in an instant while his body was still stiff; a cut from the blade would have made even a Grandmaster struggle to withstand the might of a Supreme Magical Instrument. Qiu Zhen's eyes widened in shock! And... At the moment the blade light touched Qiu Zhen's neck, he caught it firmly between his palms. The powerful blade light sent Qiu Zhen flying back down to the ground, his legs thrust forcibly into the earth, but Qiu Zhen's hands clamped around the blade like iron hoops, preventing it from advancing even an inch...
