The Martial Doctor

How could Si Miaoxue let him continue speaking? She punched continuously, once again sending Scorpion crashing into the ruins of the collapsed house.

"Stop, I have a history with Elder Zheng Yue of your Demon Sect!" Scorpion quickly crawled out from the rubble, directly naming someone.

Zheng Yue?

Si Miaoxue frowned slightly. She indeed knew such a person, an elder of the Moon Worship Sect. The sect had many elders; anyone reaching the Meridian Passage Realm and over forty years old could receive the elder title. Those under forty were true disciples.

Therefore, in a top-tier force like the Moon Worship Sect, there were at least eighty if not a hundred at the Meridian Passage Realm, and there were even more hidden experts.

But within the Meridian Passage Realm, one must also consider cultivation, combat power, and background.

Unfortunately, this Elder Zheng Yue needed Si Miaoxue to search through the elders she knew to recall him, indicating he wasn’t among the higher ranks of the Moon Worship Sect.

Vaguely remembering, this Elder Zheng Yue was wandering outside, responsible for some business matters, and his cultivation was approximately in the Middle Grade of the Meridian Realm, which was fairly decent.

But she didn’t know if she still counted as part of the Moon Worship Sect; even if Zheng Yue was just an ordinary external affairs elder, what of it? Even if the four protectors came, what did she have to fear from them?

Suddenly, a cold star burst from Scorpion’s hand, and a slender dagger appeared as if out of thin air, stabbing towards Si Miaoxue’s chest like lightning.

Too fast!

The cold light on the dagger tip almost instantly reached Si Miaoxue’s chest. This guy had timed it so that while speaking, he distracted Si Miaoxue.

Such treachery and cunning.

Lin Miao had been watching the battle between Si Miaoxue and Scorpion. Upon hearing Scorpion speak, he quietly clasped a silver needle in his hand and stealthily approached the battlefield.

As Scorpion’s blade shot out from his sleeve, Lin Miao’s silver needle immediately flew out as well. Simultaneously, he darted forward, grabbing Si Miaoxue’s arm and pulling her back.

All these actions occurred in the blink of an eye.

Who is it?

Someone hidden nearby had managed to escape Scorpion’s six senses. How skilled must this person’s Concealing Skill be!

Ding!

A faint, crisp sound was heard.

Scorpion only felt a tremendous force transmitted through the blade, knocking his long knife away from its path toward Si Miaoxue’s chest.

It deviated by at least three inches.

Sire!

Si Miaoxue’s face changed slightly. If Lin Miao hadn’t intervened in time, she might have been injured by Scorpion’s ambush.

Lin Miao glared angrily at Si Miaoxue; how could she have been distracted in a life-and-death battle? Was it a lapse in vigilance or was her mind not working?

Under Lin Miao’s glare, Si Miaoxue felt guilty and acknowledged that she had indeed been slightly distracted by Scorpion’s words, nearly falling into his trap.

Famous masters were all so cunning, truly not allowing for a moment of relaxation.

Lin Miao pulled Si Miaoxue aside and, after landing, with a flick of his toe, a spear was lifted into his hand.

Spear skills unleashed!

He directly attacked Scorpion.

Although Lin Miao was only a Middle Grade Meridian Passage Realm, his meridians were all connected, incomparable to an average one, and his spear skills were the culmination of ancient Chinese spear techniques, seemingly like a swimming dragon, profound and exquisite.

Scorpion wielded his long knife in constant defense, almost flustered. He had never seen such terrifying spear skills; each thrust rubbed against the air, producing a sharp explosive sound, with the power contained like waves, each one higher than the last.

Another Meridian Realm?

Scorpion was numb. What was going on tonight? Why did Meridian Realm experts seem to be popping out as if they were free?

First five women, seemingly from the Demon Sect, then a man emerged, also masked but seemingly quite young.

Scorpion suspected he hadn’t checked the almanac before heading out today.

The problem was, he had just been injured twice by Si Miaoxue, losing at least thirty percent of his combat power, and now another was here; how could he keep fighting?

"Miaoxue, quick battle, what are you still standing there for?"

"Oh." Si Miaoxue snapped out of it, quickly joining the battle. Since her identity was exposed, she might as well not hold back and used the Profound Spirit Palm, attacking Scorpion whenever there was an opening.

Lin Miao and Si Miaoxue, quite in sync, naturally cooperated seamlessly, quickly driving Scorpion into chaos, either struck on the back by a palm or stabbed in the arm, his injuries becoming more severe instantly.

Damn it!

Scorpion panicked; at this rate, everyone might fall here tonight.

He had to think of a way; if it really came to it, he might just have to run.

With the thought of retreat, there was no longer any desire to battle, making him even less of a match. Lin Miao clearly felt his intention to retreat and would not let him succeed.

In a flash, using an unpredictable body technique, Lin Miao appeared before Scorpion.

Then punched directly towards his face.

Bang!

The mask on Scorpion’s face shattered instantly, revealing a deathly pale face underneath, blood trickling from his mouth indicating he was severely injured.

Scorpion was terrified, his hair standing on end.

What kind of body technique was this? Even at the Great Perfection of the Meridian Realm, he could not achieve such speed.

This seemed only possible for Tianyuan.

Was this kid human or ghost?

"Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving, stay here. I’m quite interested in your lair, Black Abyss. If you didn’t come out, I wouldn’t have a way with you." Lin Miao chuckled; it was both the truth and misleading.

At least it could ease the pressure on Pei Jian, preventing the rumor that a Da Li official colluded with the Demon Sect.

And the Demon Sect’s intention for Scorpion’s Black Abyss gave Pei Jian a hand, taking Scorpion and his men away was reason enough, at least reducing Da Li Dynasty’s animosity toward the Moon Worship Sect, and it would help Si Miaoxue and others’ future activities in Da Li’s territory.

"Kid, if you want to keep me, you’re dreaming!" Scorpion roared, although severely injured, he didn’t believe he had no fighting strength left, especially if he wanted to leave. He doubted anyone could stop him.

"Is that so?" Lin Miao chuckled, "Are you waiting for that scorpion beast of yours?"

"You, how did you know..." Scorpion’s face changed drastically.

"Do you think it could still come after so long?" Lin Miao smiled playfully, this scorpion was well-hidden, without revealing its aura it was hard to find, but once it showed itself, it was too easy for Fire Qilin to find it.

Fire Qilin, akin to a supreme divine beast, with the element of fire suppressing poison, a mere scorpion posed no challenge.

However, Lin Miao didn’t want to kill the scorpion. A dead scorpion beast had little value, even in the effectiveness of soaking wine, so he ordered Fire Qilin to capture it alive.

Just then, Lin Miao received word from Fire Qilin that the scorpion had just crawled out from the ground’s mud and leaves only to be instantly frozen into an ice sculpture by Ice Roar.

This guy was pretty capable, still struggling to break free from the ice but upon seeing Ice Roar appear, it dared not move.

The suppression from a superior, to such a small scorpion, was a bloodline’s oppression, leaving it no thought of resistance.

Fire Qilin grumbled, saying the scorpion was a coward. If it had struggled a bit, maybe they could have tasted "grilled scorpion" today.

You know, mythical beasts can evolve by devouring other beasts. While scorpion isn’t tasty, its pure energy was quite attractive to both Fire Qilin and Ice Roar.

Chirp chirp...

Scorpion continuously sent signals to summon the scorpion, and Lin Miao did not stop him. After ten breaths or so, without hearing a response from his beast, he panicked. His greatest reliance was this scorpion beast he had subdued years ago.

With this scorpion beast, he achieved his current cultivation and accomplishments but unexpectedly encountered an opponent like this.

"What trick did you use?"

"You guess." Lin Miao smilingly taunted, slowly walking towards him; it was no longer possible for Scorpion to escape.

Si Miaoxue had already taken down one Meridian Realm, joining Yue Mei’er in forming a pincher, encircling him.

The battle between the Profound Armor Army and the Eighteen Stick Monks of Guangmiao Upper Forest had already turned the tide, even in other battlefields, Scorpion’s men had an advantage, but with Teng stepping in here, the outcome was indisputable.
