Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1575: You’re in Big Trouble

---

The group of workers shifted their gazes as if jolted by electricity, their eyes fixed on Ye Xuan in a daze. Observing him nonchalantly smoking a cigarette, they felt an immense, uncontainable turmoil erupt within them.

Was he a human, a spirit, or a deity?

This man is a monster!

Could he possess sorcery or perhaps even immortal techniques?

With a mere snap of his fingers, in the blink of an eye, and before anyone could perceive his actions, he had incapacitated this pack of street punks who lounged around all day?

Moreover, his takedowns were so swift and brutal!

Silence descended.

A deafening silence.

Everyone's minds went blank, devoid of thought or emotion, as if a feeling had been pushed to its absolute limit, finally resulting in utter numbness...

Amidst the heavy atmosphere.

Ye Xuan took a slow drag from his cigarette, looking down at Su Jie, whose face was contorted in pain at his feet, and a slow smile spread across his lips: "I forgot to mention earlier, I charge a fee for my services. Consider an extra broken leg as part of my operational costs."

"Scoundrel, you utter scoundrel!"

Su Jie's eyes were bloodshot; he roared in fury, his face pale: "You're finished! You've angered me, and I'll see you dead!"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Want me dead? How will you manage that?"

"Just you wait!" Su Jie bellowed, "If you've got the guts of a man, stand right here and don't move. I'm calling for backup!"

"Alright, I'll wait," Ye Xuan replied, shrugging indifferently.

Su Jie wasted no time, pulling out his phone and dialing a number.

The call connected, and a deep, gruff voice of a middle-aged man answered, "What is it?"

"Brother Leopard, my brothers and I are in Qingfeng Town and had our legs broken by someone!" Su Jie hissed, his voice laced with resentment, "We're your people, and crippling us is a direct insult to you!"

"What?" Brother Leopard sounded furious on the other end. "Tell whoever crippled you not to leave. I'll be there shortly!"

"That punk is incredibly arrogant; he won't dare to leave!" Su Jie stated gravely. "Brother Leopard, you must bring us justice!"

Brother Leopard ended the call.

Su Jie pocketed his phone, a sense of confidence washing over him.

The other street youths, upon hearing that Su Jie had contacted Brother Leopard, also displayed a measure of relief.

It was common knowledge that Brother Leopard was fiercely protective of his own!

They all turned their cold gazes towards Ye Xuan, their eyes burning with venomous hatred.

Su Jie let out a sinister laugh: "You're Ye Xuan, aren't you? You've certainly got guts. You chose the path of damnation when a righteous path was available. You've landed yourself in serious trouble!"

"Serious trouble?" Ye Xuan chuckled. "Is this 'serious trouble' related to this Brother Leopard you speak of?"

"Who else would it be?" Su Jie sneered. "Do you even have the slightest idea who Brother Leopard is? You're just some bumpkin with a little money, completely ignorant. Let me enlighten you!"

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, then grinned with feigned interest, "In that case, tell me, who exactly is this Brother Leopard?"

"There are actually people who don't know Brother Leopard?"

Su Jie and his companions were utterly dumbfounded, as if they had stumbled upon a new world, their disbelief palpable.

In the vicinity of the East Sea, could there truly be someone unfamiliar with Brother Leopard?

At this very moment.

One of the workers, snapping out of his daze, cautiously approached Ye Xuan and whispered, "Mr. Ye, Brother Leopard is the paramount figure in Jiangzhou City, a man capable of covering the sky with one hand. It's rumored he has a significant amount of blood on his hands. Qingfeng Town lies between the East Sea and Jiangzhou, so naturally, Brother Leopard's influence extends here as well!"

"The paramount figure of Jiangzhou City?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was momentarily surprised, having not anticipated that Su Jie would possess such a formidable backer.

Su Jie interpreted Ye Xuan's astonishment as fear.

Instantly, the cold sneer on Su Jie's face intensified: "What? Scared? Let me be frank with you, Brother Leopard holds me in high regard; I'm practically his adopted son. You, ungrateful wretch, daring to lay a hand on me today, you'll pay not only with money but also with your limbs!"

"No way?" Witnessing Su Jie's confident swagger, Ye Xuan put on an act of apprehension, "We're practically family now, isn't this going a bit too far?"

"Who in their right mind is your family? Stop deluding yourself!" Su Jie scoffed. "You think you're quite the fighter, don't you? But can you contend with Brother Leopard's Twelve Guardians?"

"Twelve Guardians?" Ye Xuan's expression shifted dramatically. "The Twelve Guardians?"

"Precisely, the Twelve Guardians!" Su Jie grunted. "Brother Leopard is already en route, and the moment he arrives with even one Guardian, you're finished for today!"

Ye Xuan feigned distress: "So, perhaps I should make a swift exit?"

"Run away?" Su Jie guffawed, "Where could you possibly flee to, the vast East Sea or across to Jiangzhou? Can you truly escape? Given Brother Leopard’s extensive influence throughout the Jianghai Region, you wouldn't be able to get away unless you departed Jianghai within the hour and never looked back!"

"Just an hour?" Ye Xuan mused, counting on his fingers, "The journey from Qingfeng Town to the East Sea alone takes at least an hour. Even an immortal wouldn't manage to escape Jianghai in such a short time."

"Hmph!" Su Jie scoffed, "Just remain here obediently; you'll face the consequences soon enough!"

"Oh, I see." Ye Xuan tilted his head, "Then I shall wait obediently and you can give me what's coming to me later."

Su Jie was momentarily speechless.

A peculiar, unsettling feeling washed over Su Jie.

Could this Ye Xuan fellow be genuinely dim-witted?

Wouldn't a typical person, under these circumstances, at least attempt an escape, even if it seemed futile?

Witnessing Ye Xuan's peculiar lack of reaction, Su Jie felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

There's usually a reason for such odd behavior.

Anyone in this predicament would exhibit a certain bewilderment, unless they were a complete simpleton.

However, this fleeting worry was quickly dispelled.

Recalling Brother Leopard's formidable reputation within the Jianghai region, Su Jie, as Brother Leopard's adopted son, felt his confidence surge.

This Ye Xuan, so what if he's wealthy? What does it matter if he can fight?

How many affluent individuals and skilled fighters had met their end at Brother Leopard's hands over the years?

In Su Jie's estimation, Brother Leopard was the undisputed, invincible power in the world.

Indeed, to many, he was considered such...

"Hmph, struggling is pointless anyway; consider yourself fortunate to be so calm!," Su Jie sneered, his tone laced with mockery. "However, since Brother Leopard hasn't arrived yet, I can offer you a chance."

"A chance?" Ye Xuan feigned surprise and delight. "What sort of chance is it?"

"You can kowtow three times before me and my associates, declare 'Grandpa, I was wrong,' and then, you must repay the debt you owe, plus an additional million each for our 'medical expenses.' If we are sufficiently pleased, perhaps I can intercede on your behalf when Brother Leopard arrives!"

Su Jie declared this with an air of arrogant superiority.

Ye Xuan remained unperturbed, tilting his head in contemplation. "You wish for me to kowtow three times to each of you, and then say what exactly?"

Without missing a beat, Su Jie replied, "Grandpa, I was wrong!"

"Oh, I see..." Ye Xuan nodded slowly, then shook his head. "I don't have grandsons like you."

Su Jie was once again rendered speechless.

The entire group stood in stunned silence.
