Chapter 399: 375 Ancient Martial World shaken, Divine Medicine Couple slays trash【1 more】 Chapter 399: 375 Ancient Martial World shaken, Divine Medicine Couple slays trash【1 more】 The sudden release of his chin brought even more intense pain.
The middle-aged man’s eyes widened instantly, and he almost lost consciousness again.
But the girl’s other hand pinned his shoulder, a stream of extremely delicate inner strength flowed into his body, forcibly keeping him awake, not even allowing him the mercy of passing out from the pain.
The middle-aged man could only endure this inhuman pain, but the agony of his body was nothing compared to the despair that shattered his spirit.
Even though Fu Yunshen had crippled his legs, his inner strength was still intact.
The middle-aged man could clearly feel that the girl’s inner strength seemed light as a feather, yet it was immensely strong.
Just like the man who had crippled his legs earlier, he could not even discern the heights of their cultivation.
Dual cultivation in ancient medicine and martial arts?!
The middle-aged man’s expression was full of shock, his eyes widened even more, almost to the point of bursting.
People who dual cultivated in ancient medicine and martial arts were rare, but they existed.
However, most of them were not outstanding.
Some suffered cultivation regression, channel disruption, and inner strength chaos due to dual cultivation.
Others were mediocre in both fields.
Sometimes being a so-called jack-of-all-trades meant mediocrity.
Because human energy is limited unless one is truly a radiant genius with an exceptional talent.
In the past twenty years or so, only Lin Qingjia, a genius from the Lin Family, emerged, who was now treasured by all the ancient medical families and ancient martial families.
As the Yu Family was one of the Lin Family’s vassal families, the middle-aged man had the fortune to have seen Lin Qingjia.
Was this girl in front of him also a dual cultivator of ancient medicine and martial arts?
How much of a sensation would it cause in the ancient martial world and the ancient medical field?
“You… you’re an ancient martial artist too!” The drug tormented his insides, and the middle-aged man let out a heart-wrenching scream, “Why do you still side with ordinary people?!”
Ancient martial artists shared a common enemy, no matter the internal strife, they remained united when facing the outside world.
He had successfully broken through a bottleneck the year before last, which had earned him the position of Guard Team Captain for the Yu Family.
He enjoyed better treatment and was more powerful.
Even among other martial artists with lesser strength, let alone ordinary people outside the ancient martial world, he wouldn’t give them a second thought, and would kill those he disapproved of directly.
For so long, he had never endured such humiliation.
“Wasn’t he just an heir of the Nie Family?” Red bloodshot filled the middle-aged man’s eyes, “He’s just an ordinary person, what’s the big deal if he dies, why do you need to bully people to this extent?!”
How could the life of an ordinary person be compared to that of an ancient martial artist?
Ying Zijin didn’t speak, her expression indifferent and detached as always.
She raised her hand, took another bottle, poured out a pill, and with some patience, added one more line, “Chocolate flavored, I hope you like it.”
The previous wave of pain hadn’t subsided when a more gut-wrenching agony slammed into him.
“Ah—!!!” The middle-aged man screamed again, rolling uncontrollably on the ground.
After the pill took effect, splits started to appear on his skin.
Literally skin and flesh bursting open.
It was then that Ying Zijin finally spoke, her voice calm, “He’s not an ordinary person; he is my friend.”
The middle-aged-man couldn’t hear her anymore, as blood seeped from his ears.
Nie Yi finished off another guard squad and, hearing the commotion, walked over.
Even he couldn’t help but be startled upon seeing the scene, “Yunshen, Miss Ying, she…”
Fu Yunshen remained silent.
He stood quietly, watching the girl, his eyes gradually deepening, dark as spilled ink.
He had never seen this side of Ying Zijin.
Even when she was injured, she wouldn’t behave this way.
But she has always been merciless when someone close to her was bullied.
What had she experienced that made her so indifferent to the outside world and able to torture a killer so quietly?
It was beyond his imagination.
It was just heart-wrenching.
“Yunshen, I heard from Xuesheng that Miss Ying suffered a lot psychologically during that year with the Ying Family,” Nie Yi said softly, “From now on, try to keep her from doing such things, it might trigger her condition again.”
“I know,” Fu Yunshen’s lashes fluttered, he smiled faintly, “It’s always necessary to vent. It’s better to drain than to block.”
Nie Yi remained silent.
He knew that when Fu Yunshen was in the ancient martial world, in order to suppress his emotions, he kept engaging in life-and-death fights.
Using the pain in his body to quell his emotions, to maintain clarity.
So, time and again, he lingered on the edge of life and death.
