Dragon Emperor, Martial God

Ling Yun casually flung Tie Xiaohu’s enormous body aside and walked directly towards Li Qingchuan even glancing at Tie Xiaohu.

Ling Yun had meticulously calculated his every move. The move he just did would ensure that Tie Xiaohu stayed on the ground for at least 5 minutes.

Apart from Tu Gang and the 7 Green Dragon Gang members who had their legs broken by Ling Yun, the rest of the gang members who had previously fallen to the ground were now back on their feet, either standing up or sitting on the ground. Their eyes were filled with endless humiliation and anger as they glared at Ling Yun.

Warriors always choose death over humiliation!

Ling Yun should have been able to knock down Tie Xiaohu in one move and ensure that he was unable to get up. However, every single time Ling Yun sent Tie Xiaohu flying through the air, Tie Xiaohu still managed to get back up. In the eyes of the Green Dragon Gang members, this was a blatant display of humiliation!

This was because Tie Xiaohu was the prospective successor of the Green Dragon Gang. Right now, he represented Brother Kun and the whole of Green Dragon Gang. He was the poster boy of the Green Dragon Gang!

Even though Ling Yun had thrown Tie Xiaohu around more than ten times, it still seemed as if he has done absolutely nothing at all. It was as if he was completely unbothered by the Green Dragon Gang members’ death stare as Ling Yun approaches Li Qingchuan with a slight smile on his face.

“Boss, what grudge do you hold against Tie Xiaohu? Just knock him out and make sure he never gets up again!” Tang Meng said pitifully as he looked at Tie Xiaohu. Right now, Tie Xiaohu’s body was sprawled on the ground far away and trembling violently as he struggled to get up.

Ling Yun ignored him and crouched down before asking Li Qingchuan with a smile on his face, “How are you feeling right now?”

Li Qingchuan quickly realized that there were nine gold needles pricked into his body upon regaining his consciousness. His first thought was that Little Ning had performed first aid on him using acupuncture. That was why he blurted out whatever he said to Xue Meining.

This was because, in Li Qingchuan’s eyes, the only person present who was capable of performing acupuncture was Miracle Doctor Xue’s granddaughter, Xue Meining.

However, by the time Li Qingchuan’s condition had stabilized, Xue Meining told him that it was not her who had saved his life but Ling Yun instead. Li Qingchuan was shell-shocked!

What? Ling Yun? He knows how to save people? But he is my biggest love rival! He actually saved my life! What am I going to do in the future?!

Li Qingchuan clearly knew that his congenital cardiovascular disease was virtually untreatable. Since young, his parents had brought him all over China to visit famous hospitals. They even tried various forms of alternative medicine, but none of them prove to be effective and produced the same results. This was a rare congenital cardiovascular disease and even surgeries could be performed. All that was left for him to do was to wait patiently for his death.

Many experts in treating cardiovascular disease in China had told his parents that Li Qingchuan was not going to make it past 18 years old. His parents were absolutely heartbroken.

Later on, as Li Yifeng slowly rose to power, many previously unseen opportunities seem to present themselves to them and they finally found out about the existence of Miracle Doctor Xue in China.

Based on Li Yifeng’s rank in the organization then, he had to rack his brain and try all sorts of methods to overcome the seemingly endless obstacles in order to save his son’s life. Finally, he was able to persuade Miracle Doctor Xue to save his son’s life.

Miracle Doctor Xue had a solemn expression as he took the pulse of the 13-year-old Li Qingchuan. He furrowed his brows and admitted that he would be unable to get rid of the root cause of his disease. The most he could do was a combined treatment of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine that would protect and unblock his heart and blood vessels. He guaranteed that Li Qingchuan would be able to survive past the age of 45 as long as there are no mishaps.

However, Miracle Doctor Xue also did mention that if Li Qingchuan was unable to control his emotions or underwent a huge mishap, it may trigger a heart attack and he may potentially lose his life.

Li Qingchuan’s parents never hid anything from him. Thus, Li Qingchuan was very clear on his condition.

Therefore, when Li Qingchuan realized that he was suffering from a heart attack, he subconsciously knew that that was the end of him before passing out completely.

Now that he was conscious, he was surprised to find out that the person who saved his life was his love rival, Ling Yun!

No wonder he was in such a state of shock. Not only was he shocked, he was also shaken beyond despair.

The shocking thing was that Little Ning’s ‘new boyfriend’ was capable of saving his life when he was already beyond the point of no return. How much medical skills would that require?

Whereas for his despair, it was obviously about his biggest love rival saving his life. He now owed his life to Ling Yun. Thus, he had no right to go up against Ling Yun for Little Ning’s heart.

However, he was still unaware that apart from saving his life, Ling Yun had already completely ridden him of his congenital cardiovascular disease. From this day onwards, he was just like any ordinary healthy person and no longer had to worry about losing his life anytime soon.

One could say that Ling Yun had done a good deed. Not only did he choose to perform the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot on Li Qingchuan, he even utilized nine streams of aura to remove the blockages in Li Qingchuan’s heart and blood vessels. The nine streams of aura were like nine magical snakes that had been imprinted within Li Qingchuan’s body by Ling Yun through the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot. From this day onwards, these nine streams of aura would serve to completely reform his heart condition, freeing him of all worries in life!

Of course, Ling Yun only did so because of Xue Meining. If it was not for her, he would not have even bothered wasting his efforts on Li Qingchuan.

Li Qingchuan could clearly feel the warmth circulating within his body. The usual and inexplicable heart palpitations, as well as the occasional tachycardia, were both gone without a trace. His heartbeat was now strong and steady. He had never experienced this sensation throughout his entire life.

Even though Ling Yun was his biggest love rival, he still saved Li Qingchuan’s life. Thus, Li Qingchuan looked at Ling Yun with a perplexed expression as he thanked him. “Thank you for saving me. I, Li Qingchuan, now owe you my life. However, let’s keep matters separated. I’m still not giving up Little Ning!”

Li Qingchuan’s words turn Xue Meining’s cheeks bright red as she whined, “Stop talking all this nonsense while you’re still on the ground!”

Ling Yun chuckled nonchalantly as he replied, “That’s up to you. Since you’re feeling alright, it’s probably time for me to remove the needles!”

As soon as those words left his mouth, Ling Yun reached his hands out and removed all nine gold needles at lightning speed before Tang Meng and Xue Meining could even see what was happening.

He placed the gold needles in Xue Meining’s palms before smiling at Li Qingchuan, “Kid, stop acting like a corpse on the ground. You’re alright now, get up!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Ling Yun stood up and walks towards Tie Xiaohu, leaving Li Qingchuan with nothing but a calm silhouette of his.

Right now, Li Qingchuan felt that his heartbeat is steady and his breathing was smooth. He took a deep breath before grabbing onto Tang Meng’s shoulder and getting back up to his feet.

Li Qingchuan stretched his arms out satisfyingly as he said with surprise, “I didn’t expect for him to be able to save my life, but his acupuncture techniques seem very special. I think it’s different from what Grandpa Xue used on me.”

He still had not realized what Ling Yun meant when he said ‘he’s alright’.

Xue Meining giggled as she replied, “Dummy Li Qingchuan, of course it’s different. Your congenital cardiovascular disease is completely cured and you will never have another episode for the rest of your life. Of course it would be a different acupuncture technique!”

Li Qingchuan’s facial expression changed drastically,

“What did you say, Little Ning?! You’re saying he… he… I… I…”

Xue Meining smirked with her chin up as she looked at his shocked expression.

“What about him? Brother Ling Yun has completely cured your heart disease. Now, I can piss you off anytime I want. Hehe, I’m going to piss you off all the time!”

With the nine gold needles in Xue Meining’s hand, she obviously knew that Ling Yun had performed the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot on Li Qingchuan. Thus, when Ling Yun said that Li Qingchuan was completely fine, she immediately understood that Ling Yun had completely cured Li Qingchuan’s heart disease.

Right now, Li Qingchuan could be bothered with Xue Meining’s cheekiness. All he heard was Xue Meining saying the words ‘completely cured your heart disease’.

He looked at Ling Yun in a daze as he muttered to himself, “He completely cured me? Even Grandpa Xue was unable to get to the root of the disease…”

The disbelief that was written on his face and the shock in his eyes was indescribable. Right now. Li Qingchuan really wanted to punch himself in his left chest right over his heart just to test it out, but he obviously did not dare to.

“If that’s true, how am I going to repay him..?”

Not only did Ling Yun save Li Qingchuan’s life, he had also completely removed the dark cloud that has been looming over the Li Family for over 20 years. How big of a favor is that? It should be fair to say that it is a life-changing favor, right?

Tang Meng, who was standing aside, was even more shocked.

Ling Yun did not lie, he was not boasting. Whatever he said yesterday was actually true!

Tang Meng had known of Li Qingchuan’s heart disease since he was a very young age. Even though Li Qingchuan was a worthy boss of all the spoilt brats in Qingshui City, including Tang Meng, when it came to physical fights, it was always Tang Meng and the other guys protecting Li Qingchuan. Tang Meng would never allow Li Qingchuan to take part in the fights.

This was because every single one of them had been warned by their parents about Li Qingchuan’s heart condition since young and that he may lose his life at any given moment. If any mishaps were to happen, Li Yifeng would definitely lose his mind and none of their families would be able to take the responsibility.

Afterall, Li Qingchuan was the only son in the entire Li Family.

Tang Meng also knew that Li Qingchuan’s illness was virtually untreatable. Even Miracle Doctor Xue was unable to completely rid him of the disease, all he could do was maintain his condition and prevent it from worsening.

But now, Ling Yun, his very own boss, was able to completely cure him in such a short period of time?!

Moreover, he was able to multitask and win his fights while curing his patient!

How amazing must someone’s medical skills be in order to pull that off?

He was going to get so rich! It was like winning the lottery!

After Tang Meng’s momentary shock, his eyes were immediately filled with excitement and joy that simply cannot be suppressed.

Cao Shanshan looked at the faraway Ling Yun with a weird look on her face and kept quiet. No one knew what was going on in her mind. However, the occasional hint of regret and pain flashing through her eyes explained whatever her thoughts are.

Whenever Cao Shanshan thought about what she said to her family back home and when she thought about her pretentious mentality ever since she got back from the capital, it would send her into a state of deep regret.

She began to understand that she missed out on so many great opportunities that were so easily obtainable.

It was obvious that Xue Meining and Tang Meng had managed to grab hold of Ling Yun in the few days of his rise to power. Now, Cao Shanshan was left with nothing!

Ling Yun had brought her one too many surprises today. Even though Ling Yun still had not said a single word to her. Just as the Chinese idiom goes, ‘I did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!’

Cao Shanshan was exactly like pathetic little Boren right now. She felt as if Ling Yun had been humiliating her, taking hits at her self-esteem, and ruining her pride for the entire day. However, she kept quiet throughout the humiliation and chose to suffer in silence.

Keep on pretending, just keep on pretending, why are you even still pretending?!

Cao Shanshan almost bit down hard on her lips as she secretly scolded herself.
