I Can See Your Combat Power

Groups of martial artists from the Fierce Realm, emanating golden-green light, clashed in mid-air ten miles outside of Xiling City.

Potent fluctuations of spiritual power vibrated from the sky to the earth, making the vast plains shudder under such formidable spiritual energy.

Residents of Xiling were all looking in this direction, countless heads of minor families flew out of Xiling to find out the situation. When they saw the Tang and Mi Clans clashing intensely, the faces of the family heads hovering high in the sky turned extremely grave.

Even those with the least discerning eyes, could see that this confrontation was different from past disputes over resources. The Great Elder of the Tang Clan and the First Head of the Martial Hall, and the Elders of the Mi Clan and the First Head of the Martial Hall all made their appearances.

With the Heavenly Bird Feather Guards flanking the formation, an entire sixty armored warriors from the Fierce Realm battled in the distance. Could the centuries of peace in Xiling fall apart just like that?

These family leaders, while observing the distant battlefield, were constantly contemplating various ways to respond. They were thinking about how to save their clan members’ lives and choose sides if a large scale battle was to break out.

Within a short time, dozens of family heads arrived at the edge of the battlefield. Observing the Tang and Mi Clans fighting as if no one else mattered, they felt bitter.

Actually, everyone knew that the Tang and Mi Clans were the overlords of Xiling. They also accepted that in comparison to small clans with one or two warriors from the Fierce Realm at most, the two clans possess absolute dominance.

However, the sight of both families easily mustering a formation of sixty warriors from the Fierce Realm was quite overwhelming to some clan heads who aspired to catch up with these two clans.

These power-hungry family heads finally saw the massive gap in power. Any one group of warriors from the Fierce Realm in the sky had the ability to flatten minor families present.

Because that wildly surging palm strike full of violent spiritual power, even from a considerable distance, stirred an irresistible sense of despair.

Fortunately, the powerful figures in this battle still preserved a considerable amount of sanity. The battlefield continuously shifted towards the wilderness outside the Jiang Forest without a single ripple of spiritual art striking into Xiling City. Consequently, it could be inferred that this was not a fight to the death between the two clans, and certainly would not affect the whole of Xiling City in the short term.

Following Tang Qian’s retreat back to Xiling, Tang Luo immediately rushed to the Xiao Family’s territory because he clearly saw when Yan Spiritual Realm initiated the Combined Attack Technique, Xiao Zheng had brought Mi Bai and a group of children directly to Xiling City on a war chariot.

The battlefield outside the city was not a place where he could intervene.

People with the respective abilities bear the corresponding responsibilities. His goal has always been Mi Chu. Originally, he did not want to be so anxious as he had not seen where the third ‘harmony’ of the Tang Clan was.

If his recklessness caused his family to be put in a passive position, he would not be able to forgive himself. So, after handing over Gong Zheng’s treatment plan, he quickly went to the Wind Media Department and successfully met with the family head, Tang Zhi.

And after listening to Tang Luo’s explanation, the plan changed from finding a venue to killing Mi Chu.

The Assassination of Mi Chu plan was formulated with support from the family head, the Sect Head of the Martial Hall, the Head of the Wind Media Department and the Head of the Secretariat.

However, for Tang Luo, Mi Bai’s severed arm was an unexpected regret. Because he knew that Xiao Zheng and Xiao Ziyu were both in Jiang Forest, and with Xiao Zheng’s character, he would never sit back and let his friend suffer. But he didn’t expect Mi Chu to exploit Mi Bai’s background, making it impossible for Xiao Zheng to defend him.

The seemingly seamless plan unexpectedly experienced the biggest problem at the least anticipated stage, Tang Luo blamed himself. So, the first thing he did when he returned to the city was to visit Xiao Zheng’s residence.

Located in the northeast corner of Xiling was a luxurious estate. The steward at the entrance promptly guided Tang Luo inside upon seeing him. Seeing a group of children clinging to the window, not daring to enter and disturb, Tang Luo coughed to attract the children’s attention.

Upon recognizing that he had arrived, the children immediately surrounded him, hemming him in. Little hands grasped his black training outfit tightly, cries and tears surrounded the clean-freak young master, making it hard for him to move.

“Sob sob, Bai Big Brother’s hand is cut off.”

“Boo hoo hoo, Bai Big Brother, boo hoo hoo…can’t draw anymore, boo hoo hoo, boo hoo hoo—”

“The…the doctor said, if …if they can’t find the hand, they can’t reattach it.”

The pastries that Tang Luo brought during the spring trip left a deep impression on the children. Hence, even though Tang Luo was now nearly thirty centimeters taller, they could still recognize his face.

As if they had seen another dependable elder figure, these children who had stayed silent since arriving at the Xiao residence, surrounded Tang Luo as if they had fallen apart. They were weeping so hard their breath did not come easily, yet they still managed to explain the situation in a detailed manner.

Tang Luo stretched out his hand and patted the heads of several children, and said to Yang Fan, who was showing a painful expression but trying hard to maintain his composure: “Yang Fan, take care of your siblings, I’ll go see Brother Bai. Maybe things aren’t as bad as they seem.”

Indeed, the Mi Clan’s Green Wood True Qi was incredibly vicious, especially for martial artists with shallow cultivation. Being afflicted with Green Wood True Qi meant disability. Regardless of the body part that was hit, the Green Wood True Qi that seeped deep into the body would crystalize all flesh, meridians, and even organ blood. For most martial artists, this contamination is irreversible.

If Tang Luo didn’t possess a large amount of Innate Qi, he would not have been able to completely expel the Green Wood True Qi that was already near Mi Bai’s heart vessels.

Yet, he found it hard to believe the words of the Xiao Clan’s doctor. Even a severed limb or arm of an Ascended Realm Martial Artist can be regrown using the Life Creation Pill, so naturally, it could be used on a Mortal Realm Martial Artist such as Mi Bai. The only reason it couldn’t be done is the huge cost, and Tang Luo couldn’t accept this explanation.

To the precocious Yang Fan, Tang Luo’s words were the best cardiac stimulant. He quickly stepped forward, roughly separating the group of children that had formed a pack. Raising his small face full of sadness, he begged, “Brother Tang, please help Brother Bai.”

Tang Luo solemnly nodded and then stepped into the Xiao residence main hall. He saw a wise and healthy old man who had unbuttoned Mi Bai’s shirt, closely examining the completely healed right arm while continuously shaking his head. Mi Bai’s face bore an unusual heaviness, and Xiao Zheng’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Originally, he thought that Xiao Zheng had just asked the physician in the residence to take care of Mi Bai, but unexpectedly, this businessman had managed to invite the number one physician in Xiling, Sun Jinfang. Although this master of medicine had a commonplace name, he was undoubtedly a divine skill in the medical field, deeply loved by noble families in Xiling. Many ongoing battle-hardened martial artists who had contracted some hidden diseases or injuries would think of this divine doctor first.

Perhaps physicians maintained by the Tang family era had higher attainments in medicine application, but in terms of medical skill, no one in Xiling dared to say they could surpass him.

Seeing the wise-looking Sun Jinfang shaking his head repeatedly, Tang Luo’s heart could not help but thud. Not bothering to greet the host, he asked, “Master Sun, is there a chance of recovery for my friend’s severed limb?”

Originally, the three of them had their eyes concentrated on the wound on the right shoulder. Suddenly hearing another voice in the room, they turned their heads to look and saw that it was Tang Luo.

Xiao Zheng looked at Tang Luo with complex emotions. As the old man was about to turn around and say something, the bare-chested Mi Bai quickly stood up, “Thank you, Brother Tang, for saving my life!”

The heartfelt thanks caused the doctor, who had been meaning to say something, to sigh and go over to the side to pack up his medical box, not turning back to pay attention to the young man who had asked the question.

Since the patient himself was not concerned, what right did he have to stick his nose in? After all, Tang Tianjiao was not a medical practitioner, so there was no justification for him to be so severe. It was a shame that the Hedonic Qi that all doctors dreamed of, had unexpectedly emerged in a martial artist..
