Volume 1: The Devil's Hand, Heaven's Doctor, Hidden Fangs 052: The Mysterious Man in the Forest

  Suddenly, Tang Xin hid herself on top of a large tree, the lush leaves and dim sky becoming her camouflage. Only her eyes, shining with interest, were fixed intently on the blood-soaked man, fascinated by his deadly techniques that struck true every time.

  That kind of move was three points better than a professional killer, and those blood-colored eyes were full of murderous intent, yet they also had a strong sense of resentment towards the world. Moreover, she even saw a strong will to survive in them, which made her very curious - what had this person experienced?

  All that could be seen was the two men going back and forth, neither giving in to the other. However, the man covered in blood was clearly weakened by his injuries. After exchanging dozens of moves, the gray-robed man's fist, filled with powerful energy, struck the wound on the man's chest, resulting in a shocking scene that followed.

  The fist contained the power of martial arts, and at the same time it hit the man's chest, the energy of the martial arts power suddenly expanded, causing the original wound to emit a tearing sound due to the gray-clothed person's hidden strength in this punch. The blood-covered man's body was instantly frozen by the thick martial arts power, and the structure inside his body was clearly visible under the invasion of the martial arts energy, including the skeleton and fine blood vessels. Due to this forceful attack, his ribs cracked and broke, and in an instant, as the fist withdrew, the man's body also flew backward.

  "Pffft!"

  A powerful and fierce internal force surged through his wound, severely damaging his five organs. As his five organs were severely damaged, the man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut off.

  "Bang!"

  His body hit the ground with a loud thud, his hands digging deep into the earth to suppress the excruciating pain that spread throughout his entire body. His bloodshot eyes glared icily and ferociously at the grey-robed figure in front of him as he struggled to get up. However, his internal organs were severely injured, fresh blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth, and due to the intense pain, even moving a little made his bones feel like they were cracking.

  Tang Xin's eyes narrowed, the blow from Wu Zong's peak had used 100% of his strength, damaging his internal organs and meridians. If it were an ordinary person, they would likely have died on the spot. Yet this man was still trying to get back up, unfortunately, with his current physical state, it was absolutely impossible.

  His gaze fell on the gray-robed man, and the peak of Wu Zong's power could be fully utilized. His cultivation was already no lower than that of a Martial Saint who only cultivated martial arts. This person was indeed not to be underestimated.

  "Monster! You've killed many of my disciples, your hands are stained with fresh blood and you're not worthy of death! I was originally ordered to capture you and bring you back to report, but since you refuse to surrender even in the face of death, I'll have no choice but to bring your corpse back to report!" The man in grey robes stepped closer, knowing that the person in front of him had already lost the strength to attack and could no longer pose a threat. Having received his full-powered blow, not dying on the spot was already quite rare.

  The man, covered in blood, with his hands deeply buried in the ground, used all his strength to stand up shakily under the shocked gaze of the crowd. His cold, bloodthirsty eyes stared fixedly at the gray figure in front of him, and he suddenly let out a low laugh.

  "Haha... Take my life? We'll see if you have what it takes!"

  The emperor's heart was stirred by a storm, seeing him still able to attack at such a fast speed, he couldn't help but feel shocked and fearful, it was clear that he should have been dead...

  "Hiss!"

  The man in grey let out a mouthful of air, and because he dodged quickly, the five claws that deeply pierced his body only passed through his shoulder bone. If he had moved a little slower just now, he would probably have been injured right in the middle of his chest, at the heart!

  A palm with a concentrated force suddenly slapped past, and the man was unable to dodge due to his weakness. This slap made him even more injured, his body fell to the ground like a scattered mess, weakly lying there, unable to move, his breathing gradually slowing down. If it weren't for the slow rise and fall of his chest indicating that he was still breathing, he would have looked just like a dead man.

  "I'll kill you!" The grey-clad man's face twisted in anger due to his injury, and he was about to strike out with a fierce palm.

  On the ground, those icy blood-colored eyes slowly glanced at him, as if mocking, as if unwilling, and as if desperate. At this time, he had no ability to fight back, he couldn't move even if he wanted to, his entire body felt like it was falling apart, every bone aching with an excruciating pain that gnawed at his very marrow. He looked up at the dim sky above him and slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death's arrival.

  Who would have thought that in the next moment, a white figure like a ghost flashed past them and quickly arrived at the man's side, taking him away and avoiding the fatal palm.

  "Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor!" Di Shang Mo stared at him in shock, looking at the person who shouldn't be here but appeared.

  With one hand supporting the blood-covered man, Tang Xin raised her eyes to look at them, and when her gaze fell on Di Shang Mo, a faint smile played on her lips: "So it's Young Master Di. This imperial city is indeed small, I didn't expect to run into you here."

  Startled by the other's strange movements, the man in gray frowned and gazed at the white figure: "Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor? Are you Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor?" The name of Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor was renowned throughout the Dragon Ascending Continent, even those who hid deep in the mountains had heard of it. However, the young man before him was so young, how could he possibly be Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor?

  Liu Ziyang was shocked, he had heard that the Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor had appeared in the Imperial City not long ago, but soon disappeared without a trace, and did not expect him to still be here.

  She smiled but didn't speak, her eyes scanning the few people before landing on the man beside her, coincidentally meeting his icy gaze, and she couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards you, I just happened to see you while passing by."

  In the shade, hidden behind a tree, Mu Chen Feng heard this and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Conveniently passing by? She's good at spouting nonsense. His deep eyes fell on her body, sweeping over the blood-covered man she was supporting, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  This person has a very strong killing intent, is cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, and is an extremely dangerous individual.

  "Senior, he is indeed the legendary Ghost Hand Heaven Doctor of the Dragon and Tiger Continent." Emperor Miao's gaze fell on Tang Xin's body, as if pondering why he would appear here.

  "Since you are a master of medicine, why intervene in our family's affairs?"

  "Is this person one of your people from the hidden door?" Tang Xin raised an eyebrow and glanced at the man who was being held up, his face was dirty and it was really hard to make out anything.

  The man in grey robes glanced at the man and said in a low voice, "This demon killed many of my sect's disciples and escaped here. I have been ordered to capture him and bring him back. It would be best for you to hand him over to me, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" As soon as his words fell, he gathered his martial arts energy and was about to make a move.

  "Wait wait wait wait."

  "Tang Xin shouted repeatedly: 'He's going to die, let me protect his heart pulse first.' As soon as the voice fell, without waiting for the stunned few people to come back to their senses, she supported him with one hand and quickly pressed several major acupoints on his body."
