Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1796 - 1797: Killed with a Single Punch

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Below the stage, silence reigned. Gaze after gaze converged on the high platform, fixed on the pair of stalemated figures of Ye Xuan and Qiao Tianzhao. The crowd held its breath, as if even their hearts had ceased to beat.

This battle was too pivotal.

Regardless of who emerged victorious in the end, it was destined that half of those in the Martial Arts would perish in a sea of blood. The outcome of the battle would only decide who those dead would be.

The people from the Three Sects were trembling with fear.

The faces of the Four Great Sects gradually blossomed into smiles.

"Even if Ye Xuan is young and already a Qi Gong Master, so what? Lord Qiao hails from the Hidden Dragon; Ye Xuan couldn’t possibly be his match!"

"Ye Xuan is bound to lose this battle, without a doubt!"

"The people of the Three Sects, so ungrateful, will all be buried with Ye Xuan!"

"..."

Countless dark thoughts churned in their minds.

They couldn’t see who was superior between Ye Xuan and Qiao Tianzhao, but in their eyes, it was impossible for someone from the Hidden Dragon to lose.

No matter the circumstances, losing to an arrogant brat from the mortal world wasn’t an option!

Thus, the people of the Three Sects grew increasingly anxious, while confidence swelled within the Four Sects.

As long as Ye Xuan perished on Canglang Island and the Three Sects perished with him, even if the leaders of the Four Great Sects fell, they could quickly rise again in the Martial Arts world with their longstanding foundation!

In the end, this world still belonged to the Four Great Sects!

...

On the stage.

Ye Xuan and Qiao Tianzhao faced off, fists touching, locked in stalemate for what seemed an eternity.

It appeared to be a stalemate, yet it was not.

In the instant their fists collided, in truth, Qiao Tianzhao had already lost!

Though outwardly unscathed, his insides had been ravaged by Ye Xuan’s explosive energy gas, leaving him in shambles.

Shades of shock, fear, and disbelief gathered madly in Qiao Tianzhao’s deep, dark pupils.

Qiao Tianzhao stared fiercely at Ye Xuan, clenching his teeth as he spoke: "How did you do it? You’re... you’re just an ant from the mortal world, how could you possibly wield Qi Gong to such an extreme?!"

Why did Qiao Tianzhao lose?

In Qi Gong, he was indeed slightly inferior to Ye Xuan, which seemed exaggerated given his Hidden Dragon origin, while Ye Xuan was but a fledgling in the realm of Qi Gong from the mortal world.

Yet, Ye Xuan’s Qi Gong was indeed stronger.

The difference wasn’t vast.

What truly secured Ye Xuan’s victory was his mastery over Qi Gong power.

This mastery was virtually perfect, like the prowess of many martial arts masters without Qi Gong; yet by flawlessly wielding their strength, they could kill silently and invisibly.

Simply put, Ye Xuan wielded Qi Gong as if it were Dark Energy!

This move lacked a precise definition; Qiao Tianzhao only knew that even within the Hidden Dragon, few mastered Qi Gong so adeptly!

How could mere mortals like Ye Xuan... why?!

Ye Xuan smiled silently, not answering.

Qiao Tianzhao’s eyes grew wild: "Who are you? Who the hell are you? No mortal could be this formidable. Are you one of the Hidden Dragon? You must be part of them!"

Ye Xuan lowered his gaze, looking at Qiao Tianzhao with a faint smile: "The outcome’s decided; it’s time for you to go."

With those words, Ye Xuan prepared to exert force.

Qiao Tianzhao’s expression changed drastically, shouting in panic: "How dare you!! I am of the Hidden Dragon, dare you kill me?!"

Boom!

Before Qiao Tianzhao could finish, a violent surge of energy erupted from Ye Xuan, like a divine dragon surfacing, mercilessly flooding into Qiao Tianzhao’s body.

In an instant!

Qiao Tianzhao’s eyes bulged, pupils constricting and dilating, veins bursting with blood as if his eyes would pop out. Glaring at Ye Xuan, his body shook, smoke billowing from his seven orifices.

The sight was as if Qiao Tianzhao’s very being caught fire, burning outward from within.

Ye Xuan withdrew his hand, gazing nonchalantly at the petrified Qiao Tianzhao, whose expression was forever frozen in terror. A mocking smile played at Ye Xuan’s lips: "So what if they’re of the Hidden Dragon?"

His indifferent words, light yet penetrating, like a casual remark on an insignificant fact.

Yet for the onlookers, it was as deafening as a thunderclap on a clear day!

Thud!

A dull thud accompanied Ye Xuan’s words as Qiao Tianzhao collapsed.

Qiao Tianzhao, never to rise again.

Without posthumous care, he would soon be at the mercy of blistering suns, invasive rains, and seagull beaks.

His body would vanish without a trace.

The end for Qiao Tianzhao of the Hidden Dragon, dead!!

Silence.

During Ye Xuan and Qiao Tianzhao’s duel, the entire Canglang Island was silent.

After Ye Xuan disposed of Qiao Tianzhao with a single punch, the quiet seemed even more absolute.

It was more nightmarish than any nightmare!

Every eye fixed on Ye Xuan, gazing up at him, faces frozen, eyes vacant, each person numbed.

How much shock had Ye Xuan brought today?

Yang Kuangdao, Sect Leader of Qingcheng Mountain, dead.

Yu Xiu, Sect Leader of Ghost King Valley, dead!

Zhao Xunjian of the Zhao Family, the greatest Qi Gong Master in a century, dead!

Now even this supreme power from the Hidden Dragon, Qiao Tianzhao, who alone could destroy the entire Martial Arts world, dead!!

How could anyone accept this? How could anyone believe it?

How could such a demonic figure exist in heaven and earth!!

"It’s over..."

Amidst the deathly silence, a high-ranking member of the Four Great Sects murmured shakily, overwhelmed.

Yes, it’s over.

Ye Xuan killed Qiao Tianzhao of the Hidden Dragon. The future disasters, dangers, and deaths await them, but it no longer concerns them.

Because today, Ye Xuan remained unbeaten; his prowess was unmatched!

Today, none of the Four Great Sects could escape!

As expected.

While four thousand members of the Four Great Sects stood frozen, Ye Xuan’s cold eyes looked down upon them once again.

In that instant, it felt as if heaven and earth had changed — winds howled, seas roared, the ground shook!

Just one look from Ye Xuan exerted an unimaginable pressure on the four thousand, a pressure more agonizing than death itself.

For it was fear, fear of death, and fear of the giant!

In the shadow of the giant, all beings were ants.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was the giant of heaven and earth, and they were?

Ants.

Undeniable ants!!
