Volume 1: The Genius Doctor's Hidden Edge 026 A Critical Moment, Savior Arrives!

  Xia Xue rushed forward and blocked Tang Zihao with her body, thinking that the sharp sword tip would surely pierce her body. But unexpectedly, at the critical moment, a playful and teasing voice came from behind.

  "Hey! Beautiful lady, how did you end up in such a mess? Looks like I'll have to be the hero and rescue you!"

  With a smile, the teasing voice came out. At the same time, he saw that his finger popped up, and a sharp air current hit the wrist of that Wuzong master with a "whoosh" sound. That Wuzong master let out a hiss, drew back his breath, and dropped the long sword in his hand. He suddenly turned his head and glared at the red-robed man who appeared suddenly.

  "What are you..."

  His words were not yet finished, a dark projectile whizzed out again, accurately and flawlessly hitting his throat, instantly killing him. The surrounding black-clad assassins were shocked beyond measure.

  All that could be seen was a man in red clothes leaning on the rooftop, playing with his black hair hanging down in front of him. His eyes were evil and seductive, his red robe slightly open, revealing a sexy chest, and his face, more beautiful than a woman's, had an evil smile, watching the scene below with interest.

  That red-clothed rogue, despite his carefree appearance, instantly killed a high-ranking Wu Zong master with one move. Such strength was enough to intimidate the other black-clothed assassins, causing them to hesitate and reconsider their plan to attack. If even a Wu Zong master wasn't his match, wouldn't they be sending themselves to death if they went forward?

  "What's it to you, little lord?" The demonically beautiful man swept a glance at the fallen Wu Zong, his robes fluttering as he sat up straight, one hand propping up his chin as he gazed down at Xia Xue and Xia Yu with an evil glint in his eye.

  He had thought something was wrong, but it turned out that he arrived just in time to save the two of them. But where was that despicable woman? He hadn't seen her anywhere. With half-closed flirtatious eyes, he scanned the surroundings again, but still didn't see the woman's figure, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

  With that woman's means, it shouldn't have been possible for someone she valued to end up in such a predicament. It seems things aren't as simple as they seem!

  "You wicked creature, how did you arrive so quickly? You've actually arrived ahead of us!" Three figures landed on the rooftop at the same time. They thought they were the first to arrive, but unexpectedly, someone had already beaten them to it by a step. At this moment, they couldn't help but glare at the red-clothed wicked creature with their hands on their hips.

  "Don't you know that when people get old, their reactions slow down?" A lazy voice came out, but it was actually three old men blowing their beards and staring with wide eyes.

  Xia Yu, who was being surrounded by two men in black, saw that they still had the energy to quarrel and hastily shouted: "Stop arguing, come down quickly and help!" What about her family's young lady? Although it could be said that with her family's young lady's abilities there was no need to worry, but she couldn't help feeling anxious.

  "I thought it was something big! It turned out to be just these few little rascals, I can take care of them all by myself!" A gray-robed old man flew over, drew his sword from his waist without stopping for a moment, and swooshed down towards the bottom. The sharp sword energy was like a flying slash that broke through the air, bringing a shocking and powerful pressure. The sword tip spun around in an instant, and the black-clothed men below were all killed instantly!

  "Ah..."

  Only the sound of wailing voices of varying pitches pierced the sky, those black-clad men hadn't even figured out who these few sudden arrivals were before they all fell one by one...

  Xia Xue and Xia Xue let out a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease. They had been worried that they wouldn't make it in time, but fortunately, they did. If they had been any later, they might not have made it alive.

  The more they fought with their lives on the line, the more they felt that strength was extremely important. If their strength was strong enough, they wouldn't have ended up battered and bruised, or even nearly dead at the hands of their enemies.

  At this moment, they secretly made up their minds to work harder at their cultivation. Only in this way could they protect the people they wanted to protect!

  Bai Yan stared blankly at the few people who had helped them, shocked by their strength while also feeling a surge of doubt and vigilance in her heart. Who were they? How did they suddenly appear here? And why did they want to help them? With such abilities, they shouldn't be unknown figures on the Dragon Continent.

  She stood up and bowed respectfully to the few people, sincerely thanking them: "Thank you for your help, may I ask, what are your esteemed names?"

  "Haha, no need to be so polite, no need to be so polite." The three old men standing together were delighted, their eyes narrowed into a line, and they waved their hands repeatedly, looking as if they were very embarrassed.

  "Hmph! What help can you lot be?" The grey-robed old freak who arrived later snorted, casting a disdainful glance at them.

  "Disciple pays respects to master!"

  Xia Xue and Xia Xue took a step forward together, and respectfully knelt down in front of the gray-robed old monster.

  "Alright, alright, get up! It's the middle of the night and I had to rush over here, thinking something was wrong!" The old man in grey robes waved his hand, signaling for the two women to get up. His eyes, shining with a sharp light, scanned the surroundings, but he didn't see that detestable little girl anywhere, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

  Bai Yan was relieved to hear that the old man in gray was actually the master of Xia Xue and the others. She had heard them mention before that they were disciples of Mu Lao Guai, one of the Six Freaks. So this must be Mu Lao Guai himself, whose martial arts skills had already reached the level of a Martial Saint. Immediately, she said: "So it's Elder Mu, I'm Bai Yan, thank you for saving my life."

  "It's all our own people, no need to be so polite." Mu Lao Guai smiled and waved his hand, speaking in a familiar tone. Catching sight of Tang Zihao sitting cross-legged on the ground, he exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! This kid is actually advancing!" As soon as the words fell, he saw Tang Zihao's aura suddenly surge upwards, his martial power gathering into a ball, and he couldn't help but excitedly pat the three old men beside him, hastily saying: "Quickly look, quickly look, he's broken through! He's broken through!"

  Bang!

  A dazzling light burst out around Tang Zihao, exploding with a loud bang and shooting straight up into the night sky. A powerful aura erupted in the air, wave after wave of visible energy rippling outward like water ripples, finally disappearing into the mysterious-colored night sky.

  As the dazzling light burst into the sky, a man wearing a black python robe stood with his hands behind his back in a certain part of the imperial city. His profound eyes narrowed slightly as he looked in that direction, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "Go and investigate what happened over there!"

  "Yes!" No one was seen leaving, only a voice respectfully responded with a soft sound, the leaves behind the man rustled slightly and then returned to their previous silence...

  Digression

  This man who has been hiding for so long... I wanted to drag him out but he wouldn't come out...
