Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1503: My Life for His Life!

"Miss Li, isn’t this a bit too much?" Wang Shaoyang chuckled, "In all honesty, what Ye Xuan did was excessively overboard. On the day of my engagement party, he seized my beloved wife and murdered my good friend in public. In such circumstances, if I were to let it slide, how will the world perceive me, Wang Shaoyang? How will they perceive the Wang Family and Liu Family?"

"Speaking objectively, Ye Xuan has indeed been a bit reckless," Li Xiyuan said coolly. "But as everyone knows, Ye Xuan has done a great favor for the Li Family. Our family owes him a debt, and for this matter, I hope Young Master Wang would give our Li Family some face."

"The Li Family’s face, naturally, must be given," Wang Shaoyang said in a serious tone. "But things have escalated to such a degree; it’s not something that can be resolved by mere face-saving."

Li Xiyuan frowned slightly, "What does Young Master Wang intend to do?"

Wang Shaoyang snorted, "The matter of honoring the Li Family’s face can be set aside for another day. As for today’s events, they must be resolved as they are—blood for blood, a life for a life!"

"A life for a life?" Li Xiyuan smiled, "Then let my life weigh against Ye Xuan’s. What does Young Master Wang think of that?"

Wang Shaoyang’s pupils contracted slightly.

The crowd was also greatly shocked.

The entire venue was in an uproar.

"My gosh, did I hear that right? Li Xiyuan actually wants to exchange her life for Ye Xuan’s?"

"What’s going on? Can Ye Xuan’s life really compare to Li Xiyuan’s?"

"Could it be that Li Xiyuan has a thing with Ye Xuan as well?"

"..."

The crowd was restless and uneasy; if they hadn’t heard it themselves, they simply couldn’t believe it was real.

It was too unbelievable.

Li Xiyuan was arguably the most powerful woman in Yan Country. Though young, she had already taken control of the vast Li Family. Even if she offered her life to Wang Shaoyang, would he dare to accept it?

For certain, the Wang Family’s strength was not inferior to the Li Family, possibly even surpassing it slightly. However, if Wang Shaoyang were to harm Li Xiyuan, the Li Family’s retaliation would be fierce.

Clearly, Wang Shaoyang could not take action against Li Xiyuan.

Wang Shaoyang was well aware of this, so upon hearing Li Xiyuan’s words, his brow furrowed, and a temporary stalemate ensued.

He couldn’t agree to Li Xiyuan’s demand.

At present, the Wang Family could not afford to become enemies with the Li Family, not to mention the importance of the alliance with the Liu Family.

If they let Ye Xuan go free today, how would they proceed with the engagement?

He had to capture Ye Xuan and use him as leverage to force Liu Ying to continue the engagement and then kill Ye Xuan.

But given what Li Xiyuan has already said, Wang Shaoyang had no moves left.

Everyone in the world knew that Li Xiyuan’s life was worth more than Ye Xuan’s. If Wang Shaoyang refused her offer, wouldn’t it seem like he was looking down on the Li Family?

In that case, even if the engagement proceeded with the Liu Family, the Li Family would immediately cause trouble, which would still be a disadvantageous situation for the Wang Family...

Similarly, when Ye Xuan heard Li Xiyuan’s offer, he couldn’t help but glance in her direction.

"I never realized, this woman Li Xiyuan is hardcore too," Ye Xuan grinned, then tenderly looked down at Liu Ying in his arms, "Xiao Ying, stay by Li Xiyuan’s side for a moment."

Surprised, Liu Ying looked up at Ye Xuan for a long moment.

Soon after, she understood what Ye Xuan meant.

Ye Xuan was a man who stood on his own; he refused to stand behind any woman, be it Liu Ying or Li Xiyuan!

"Alright."

Liu Ying smiled and nodded, then left Ye Xuan’s embrace to walk over to Li Xiyuan amidst the crowd.

The tension was thus broken.

Seeing this, Li Xiyuan frowned, showing a hint of displeasure.

Ye Xuan, looking at her, smiled and said, "I appreciate the Li Family’s kindness. If you want to help me, please look after Xiao Ying. I’m not used to standing behind a woman just yet."

"Kindness is seen as donkey liver and lungs!"

Li Xiyuan gritted her teeth silently, casting a cold glance at Ye Xuan, without saying anything further.

Given what Ye Xuan said, how else could she help?

Grumbling inwardly, Li Xiyuan could only turn to Liu Ying and said lightly, "Come to my side, I’ll keep you safe."

Once Liu Ying reached Li Xiyuan, she was quickly surrounded and protected by several guards that accompanied Li Xiyuan.

Upon witnessing this, Wang Shaoyang chuckled, "Miss Li, I must admit, Ye Xuan is indeed quite a man. So, it seems I cannot agree to your request."

"Humph."

Li Xiyuan snorted, not forgetting to cast another cold glare at Ye Xuan.

Wang Shaoyang let out a low chuckle, ceasing further pointless discourse. He turned his gaze back to Ye Xuan, his expression rapidly darkening.

"Seize him!" Wang Shaoyang commanded with authority.

Whoosh!

A legion of warriors, exceeding one hundred in number, brandished their cold steel with deadly intent, commencing an onslaught against Ye Xuan.

A monumental battle loomed!

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, a bloodthirsty smirk gracing his lips.

Confronting the wave of formidable fighters surging from every direction, Ye Xuan remained utterly unperturbed.

He extended his hand, his palm striking the cardboard box positioned nearby.

Bang!

A profound metallic resonance emanated from within the container, which then ascended with immense power, colliding with the attackers on the right.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The box, akin to a ferocious tiger, moved with breathtaking momentum. Even the most skilled combatants, fighting with all their might, were ruthlessly hurled aside.

Upon impact with the ground, they were either vanquished or grievously wounded.

In a single maneuver, more than ten adversaries were neutralized!

"Everyone, exercise caution!"

The remaining warriors, witnessing this, adopted a more grave demeanor.

Ye Xuan's form blurred, and in the subsequent instant, he reappeared adjacent to the box.

He delivered another palm strike.

Bang!

The resonant thud echoed once more, and the colossal, powerful box once again charged towards yet another contingent of warriors.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Another group of combatants fell.

This relentless sequence stripped the engagement of any competitive spirit, transforming it into a simple, brutal display—an individual spectacle dominated by Ye Xuan.

Innumerable scions from prominent families watched in utter astonishment.

"Is this truly happening? Can Ye Xuan be this incredibly powerful?"

"What precisely lies within that box? It appears to possess incredible weight!"

"Weight? To Ye Xuan, it seems rather light!"

"Yet, before these Wang Family experts, it undeniably appears heavy!"

"The disparity in skill is simply too immense, isn't it? With only these warriors, they stand no chance of capturing Ye Xuan; merely surviving is a significant challenge!"

"..."

Ye Xuan's awe-inspiring display left the onlookers once more in a state of profound unease.

Those who had just reported to Wang Shaoyang felt particularly apprehensive, their legs betraying a subtle tremor of guilt.

Such a display of power transcended human comprehension; were they not in their right minds, they might suspect they were witnessing a cinematic martial arts epic!

What manner of ultimate martial art does Ye Xuan command?

With a solitary palm strike, he sent a multitude flying.

Over a hundred seasoned warriors, and within mere seconds, more than half lay defeated!

A few more moments elapsed.

All combatants were incapacitated...

The entire arena was plunged into an unnerving, absolute silence.
