Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1576: Leopard Master’s Terror
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Is this truly possible?
A surge of intense fury coursed through Su Jie, feeling as though he might erupt.
"Scoundrel, absolute scoundrel!"
In his overwhelming rage, Su Jie roared, "Ye Xuan, you are finished! Your doom is sealed! Even if the King himself intervened, he could not spare you!"
"If I cannot be saved, then so be it. I have no desire to live any longer anyway."
Ye Xuan offered a casual shrug, lit a cigarette, and took a leisurely drag, his expression one of utter relaxation.
His entire demeanor mirrored that of someone who had long given up hope for recovery.
Su Jie's face contorted with grim fury, his features almost twisted beyond recognition as he glared venomously at Ye Xuan. Were his legs not shattered, he would have undoubtedly challenged Ye Xuan to a fight to the bitter end.
This brat was unnervingly strange, much like resilient cotton, utterly unfazed by Su Jie's explosive anger, seeming to taunt him from the very depths of his being!
Just you wait and see, the consequences will be dire!
---
An hour passed; not too swiftly, nor too slowly.
Time, after all, is relative.
For individuals like Su Jie, enduring agonizing pain after severe injury, even a single minute could stretch into an eternity.
Indeed, after enduring their ordeal on the harsh ground for an hour, the majority were slick with sweat from the excruciating pain. A few, possessing less mental fortitude, had already succumbed to unconsciousness.
It was a scene of unbearable suffering.
Fortunately, all this torment was not in vain.
Just as Su Jie felt on the verge of fainting, he finally spotted familiar figures rapidly approaching, instantly infusing him with renewed vitality.
"Brother Bao, Brother Bao!"
Su Jie cried out towards them, his voice strained, "Help! Hurry, or you'll lose your godson out here!"
Su Jie's desperate shouts shattered the prevailing quiet, injecting a palpable tension into the atmosphere.
All eyes shifted towards the approaching contingent, causing the ordinary workers to instinctively recoil, while Su Jie and his companions found their spirits instantly bolstered.
Ye Xuan observed the unfolding scene with detached interest.
What came into Ye Xuan's line of sight was a group of approximately seven or eight individuals, spearheaded by a middle-aged man. Though his appearance was unremarkable, he exuded an undeniable aura of command.
Individuals possessing such a commanding presence were invariably figures of influence.
Trailing behind the middle-aged man were a cadre of uniformly well-built men, each radiating a palpable, menacing aura that spoke of rigorous combat training.
"With such a phalanx of skilled individuals, success is virtually guaranteed,"
Ye Xuan mused inwardly, recognizing without a doubt that the middle-aged man must be the enigmatic Brother Bao.
Without delay, Brother Bao and his crew hastened their approach.
Upon witnessing the pitiful state of Su Jie and the others, Brother Bao's brow furrowed: "Two broken legs, and you're creating such a commotion? What precisely is occurring here?"
"Godfather, it burns!"
Su Jie whimpered, pointing accusingly at Ye Xuan and grumbling, "It was this fellow right here, he's the one who shattered our legs!"
"Oh?"
Brother Bao's gaze shifted to Ye Xuan, who stood alone, a flicker of surprise crossing his face: "Just him alone?"
"Yes, precisely him!" Su Jie affirmed, adding, "Godfather, don't dismiss him lightly; he's quite formidable in a fight!"
As he spoke, Su Jie shot Ye Xuan a smug, triumphant grin, a silent message conveying: Brat, with Brother Bao here now, you're utterly finished!
Brother Bao offered a slight nod, his eyes assessing Ye Xuan with a penetrating intensity before he spoke, his tone laced with displeasure, "Young man, in our dealings, we uphold principles of loyalty and fairness. Regardless of how you perceive the situation, assaulting my associates in such a manner is hardly justifiable, wouldn't you agree?"
The burly men flanking Brother Bao were already restless, their eyes fixed on Ye Xuan with undisguised murderous intent.
The workers standing behind Ye Xuan were gripped by palpable fear; even Su Qinian felt a tremor of unease, never having anticipated such a drastic escalation.
Only Ye Xuan himself remained utterly unperturbed.
He took a gentle drag from his cigarette, offering an indifferent shrug: "Loyalty is your concern, reasonableness concerns us all. However, when it comes to individuals like Su Jie, I have no interest in engaging in reason."
"You insolent whelp!"
"Preposterous! Do you have any idea who you are addressing?"
"You court death!"
"..."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's defiant words, the henchmen behind Brother Bao could no longer contain their anger, erupting in enraged curses and preparing to launch an assault.
Su Jie watched their reactions with a gleeful smirk.
However, the experienced and shrewd Brother Bao calmly raised a hand, signaling his men to hold.
Brother Bao fixed his intense gaze upon Ye Xuan, inquiring, "May I have the honor of knowing your name, young man?"
"Merely an insignificant moniker, hardly worth mentioning." Ye Xuan replied with a faint smile: "If you intend to fight, let us proceed. I am eager to conclude my business and return home."
Brother Bao's brow furrowed deeply, his gaze towards Ye Xuan chilling to an icy degree.
In all his years navigating the underbelly of society, never had anyone dared to treat him with such blatant disrespect.
At that precise moment.
Su Jie interjected loudly, "Godfather, his name is Ye Xuan! He revealed it to me himself not long ago!"
The underlying motive behind Su Jie's announcement was clear: he intended for Brother Bao to be aware of Ye Xuan's identity. Knowing Brother Bao's volatile temper, he might very well decide to inflict severe punishment upon Ye Xuan's entire family if angered.
Ye Xuan, it was presumed, would hesitate to reveal his name, fearing repercussions that might extend to his loved ones.
Unbeknownst to Su Jie.
Upon hearing the name Ye Xuan, Brother Bao's entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.
Life is indeed unpredictable; one moment you might be soaring in heaven, the next, plunged into the depths of hell.
Suddenly, Brother Bao stood in stunned disbelief, marveling at the utterly bizarre twists of fate.
It was no wonder that upon first seeing Ye Xuan, he had the distinct feeling of having met him before. It turned out to be Ye Xuan! A colossal figure whose influence spanned the entire Jianghai Region, and even caused tremors throughout Yan Country. He was the one who had crushed Wang Shaoyang and annihilated the Wang Family – a truly monumental individual! Honestly, Li Haibao recognized that he was far beneath such a distinguished personage; the only times he had seen Ye Xuan were in photographs. But why were there photographs? Because an alarming number of individuals had recently met their downfall at Ye Xuan's hands, especially within the Jianghai Area, causing widespread unease. To steer clear of becoming collateral damage, most prominent figures in Jianghai had committed Ye Xuan's appearance to memory, vowing to avoid stumbling into a catastrophic situation at any cost. Brother Bao was no different. Yet, he never imagined that in this lifetime, he would actually come face to face with the legendary Master Ye, a fact that had almost slipped his mind completely. Who could have foreseen that he would truly encounter him today? Had Su Jie not uttered Ye Xuan's name, in merely another minute, Li Haibao would have inadvertently stepped directly into the gates of oblivion! Upon comprehending the gravity of the situation, Li Haibao felt an overwhelming surge of fear that threatened to overwhelm him. For a considerable moment, Li Haibao’s gaze was fixed upon Ye Xuan, cold sweat beading on his forehead from sheer terror. Despite having weathered countless storms throughout his life, at this precise instant, he found himself utterly speechless, his tongue tied by dread.
