Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 475: Chapter 237: Kill Chen Cheng

Linji City, in the southeast corner of the Inner City.

The Wang Family’s estate.

In a side room of the front courtyard, within the grandest residence at the estate’s core, Wang Xiongying sat on a bed. His eyes were vacant, a foolish, dazed look on his face.

An old physician with a white beard and hair was taking his pulse. Dressed in a Daoist Robe, he had the transcendent air of an immortal.

The old physician’s brow was tightly furrowed, his expression extremely grave.

Nearby, the Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Tingxuan, wore an extremely grim expression.

The Wang Family’s latest demon-slaying expedition outside the city had gone exceptionally well.

But just as it was nearing its end, tremors shook the earth’s veins in the territory of Five Peaks Ridge, on the edge of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

Wang Xiongying and Wang Xiongba had taken the Wang Family’s experts and rushed to investigate.

And that was when disaster struck.

Wang Xiongba’s fate was unknown and his whereabouts were a mystery. Meanwhile, Wang Xiongying and seven Wang Family Hospital Martial Artists had all been inexplicably turned into fools.

After bringing them back to Linji City, the Wang Family Ancestor, Wang Xuanjiu, personally inspected them. He discovered that Wang Xiongying and the others all had a large amount of Blood Evil Qi in their bodies.

It was clear they had been wounded by an expert who practiced the Blood Evil Realm. The Blood Evil Qi had invaded their bodies, damaging their Divine Souls and turning them into imbeciles.

Wang Tingxuan had invited every famous doctor in the city to treat Wang Xiongying and the others, but after every diagnosis, they were all helpless.

This Divine Doctor Liu before them had, in his early years, been an Inner Sect Disciple of the Great Dao Sect. He had even cultivated the Wood Element Realm, a legacy of Five Elements Peak.

Relying on his Wood Element Realm and his exquisite medical skills, he could bring the dead back to life and flesh out bare bones. As long as a single breath remained, he could save a person.

Divine Doctor Liu lived in seclusion in Qingyuan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Linji City. He had always abided by the rule of "a doctor does not knock on doors," never going out to treat patients.

The Wang Family had to pay an enormous price just to invite him over.

"Sigh..." After a long while, Divine Doctor Liu slowly shook his head and let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Wang Tingxuan’s expression immediately tensed. He asked, "Divine Doctor Liu, how is my grandson’s condition? Is there any hope of saving him?"

In terms of both Martial Arts Talent and temperament, Wang Xiongying was the prodigy of the Wang Family’s younger generation.

Wang Tingxuan had long been grooming him as a successor and naturally could not afford for anything to happen to him.

Divine Doctor Liu shook his head slightly and said,

"Patriarch Wang, please forgive this old man. I am powerless to help."

Wang Tingxuan said, "Divine Doctor Liu, please, try to think of something else.

As long as you can cure Xiongying, no matter the cost—be it silver coins or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—my Wang Family is willing to provide it."

Divine Doctor Liu said, "Young Master Wang’s body was invaded by Blood Evil Qi, which injured his Divine Soul.

If it were only that, I could treat him with my Wood Element Realm.

But the person who attacked Young Master Wang not only used the Blood Evil Realm, but also employed a Demon Sect Mental Realm Method that specifically harms the Divine Soul.

This type of method is exceptionally vicious. Once it damages the Divine Soul, even if the Blood Evil Qi is expelled from the body, recovery is impossible."

"A Demon Sect Mental Realm Method?" Wang Tingxuan’s expression grew even darker.

Combined with intelligence from the Demon Suppression Department, it was not hard to guess that this was the work of the Black Lotus Sect Leader, Ghostly Wound.

Divine Doctor Liu nodded. "In my youth, I heard of a Demon Sect Mental Realm Method called the Hundred Ghosts Heart Devouring Technique.

Those injured by this Mental Realm Method suffer damage to their Divine Soul but do not die immediately. Instead, they become dazed and foolish like Young Master Wang, able to act only on instinct.

Furthermore, they will obey the commands of the one who cast the technique.

This kind of technique has always been cultivated by members of the Demon Sect for the purpose of refining a Corpse."

"Is there truly no solution at all?" Wang Tingxuan asked.

Divine Doctor Liu nodded.

Still unwilling to give up, Wang Tingxuan asked again, "Can the caster cure him?"

Divine Doctor Liu thought for a moment, then said, "Damage to the Divine Soul is an irreversible process. Even the person who cultivated the Hundred Ghosts Heart Devouring Technique cannot restore it.

It is precisely for this reason that techniques like the Hundred Ghosts Heart Devouring Technique are considered Demon Sect methods, not tolerated by the world. Once one appears, it is the duty of all to hunt it down and destroy it."

If even Divine Doctor Liu could not cure him, Wang Xiongying was undoubtedly a lost cause. Wang Tingxuan’s expression instantly became impossibly ugly.

The Wang Family was notoriously ruthless in the Jianghu. If not for this, Divine Doctor Liu would never have broken his own rule and traveled all the way to the Prefecture City to diagnose Wang Xiongying.

Seeing that he could not cure the young man and that Wang Tingxuan wore such an expression, Divine Doctor Liu feared the Patriarch would make things difficult for him and immediately rose to take his leave.

"Patriarch Wang, my medical skills are lacking. I was unable to help and have truly failed your trust. I will take my leave now."

Wang Tingxuan suddenly said, "Divine Doctor Liu, can you at least expel the Blood Evil Qi from Xiongying’s body?"

"Of course, I can." Divine Doctor Liu nodded. He then walked back to the bedside and slowly raised his hand.

Ripples of energy suddenly emanated from his palm. Faint, almost imperceptible wisps of pale green Wood Element Realm energy enveloped Wang Xiongying and slowly flowed into his body.

As the Wood Element Realm energy flowed in, waves of Blood Evil Qi spread out from Wang Xiongying’s body, resembling faint wisps of blood-colored mist.

Within the blood-colored mist, the shrill, tragic cries and wails of vengeful ghosts could be faintly heard!

A moment later, the blood-colored mist dissipated. Wang Xiongying suddenly let out a cry, spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and then fainted dead away.

Divine Doctor Liu’s face was flushed, and beads of sweat dotted his forehead. It was clear that unleashing the Wood Element Realm had consumed a great deal of his Qi Blood Power.

He took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "The Blood Evil Qi in Young Master Wang’s body has been completely expelled. He will wake up soon.

His Divine Soul is damaged and his mind is unclear, so he will likely be very agitated. When that happens, I must ask Patriarch Wang to arrange for people to look after him.

Now, I really must be going!"

After saying this, Divine Doctor Liu departed in a hurry.

Wang Tingxuan saw the doctor to the door. When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Wang Xiongying suddenly burst out of the side room, his face filled with terror, shouting:
