Romantic Medical Immortal

"If I’m not wrong, you belong to the Kong Family, right?"

Chi Ren spoke again, his tone full of certainty.

Nowadays, in Zhonghai, the only ones that can stand against the Cao Family are likely the Kong Family, though he didn’t expect the Kong Family to send such a skilled person.

"Are you a lackey of the Cao Family?"

Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow, and with just one sentence, the other party’s gaze turned vicious.

"Bullshit! Mr. Chi Ren was invited by Boss Cao as an expert, you watch your damn mouth if you can’t speak properly."

The sidekick scolded harshly, with an air of arrogance backed by power.

Yang Cheng smirked, laughing lightly, "So he was hired with money, definitely not loyal, can he wholeheartedly work for Cao Ruibin?"

"Damn it! You bastard..."

"Shut up!"

The sidekick hadn’t finished cursing when Chi Ren coldly scolded, raising his hand to slap the person.

A sharp ’smack’ resounded, leaving the guy stunned, disbelief filling his eyes.

Chi Ren didn’t spare him a glance, still focused on Yang Cheng, speaking solemnly: "I’m someone who cherishes talent. Seeing you with such cultivation at a young age is truly rare, it’s a pity to just kill you."

"You, such a powerful expert, are a bit wasted following Kong Jingshan, why not join me in serving the Family Head? He’s a generous person, he wouldn’t treat you badly."

"Cao Ruibin, that kind of person, still wants me to work for him?"

Yang Cheng sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

On the surface, he worked for the Kong Family, but if it weren’t to find out his father’s whereabouts and for Lin Wen, he wouldn’t care about anyone else’s affairs.

"I’m not talking about Cao Ruibin, I mean my Family Head."

Chi Ren’s face was devout, showing immense loyalty to the Family Head he spoke of.

These words verified the suspicion Yang Cheng had all along, that there was a big backer behind Cao Ruibin; otherwise, the Cao Family alone could not possibly rival the Kong Family.

Moreover, if not for a powerful figure backing them, the massive scale of the Jile Clubhouse and some shady transactions couldn’t be accomplished.

As Kong Jingshan said, Cao Ruibin previously fawned over the Kong Family like a sycophant and suddenly turned hostile two months ago.

This shows that Cao Ruibin is the real power-backed opportunist!

"Young man, a wise bird chooses its perch; you should consider it. If you’re willing to surrender to the Family Head, kill Kong Jingshan and his daughter as a show of loyalty. Of course, you can choose to refuse, and I’ll kill you right now."

As Chi Ren finished speaking, a fierce True Qi surged around him, and those behind him brandished their weapons.

Yang Cheng’s expression turned serious; he could sense that Chi Ren’s cultivation was also at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although the specific stage was unclear, the oppressive feeling was unmistakable.

The more powerful the cultivators, the more caution is needed; even the slightest mistake could lead to a crushing defeat and a loss of the chance to resist.

"Are you so confident you can kill me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Cheng activated a cultivation technique, releasing his True Qi.

Golden True Qi swirled around him, eyes filled with murderous intent, unafraid of the upcoming battle, seemingly rather excited.

"Since you made your choice, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Chi Ren gritted his teeth, gripping a long sword as he slashed toward Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng stood his ground, lightly sidestepping as the sword brushed past his clothing, simultaneously channeling power into his palm for an attack.

"Nine-Layered Heaven-Burning Palm!"

His mastery of palm techniques was advanced, flame coiling in his palm as it rapidly struck toward Chi Ren’s abdomen.

Seeing Yang Cheng dodge his attack, Chi Ren was not surprised; the speed of this palm strike was indeed swift. He immediately retreated a step, using the long sword to block.

However, as soon as Yang Cheng’s first palm strike ended, the next strike followed immediately, catching him somewhat off guard.

Chi Ren’s heart was filled with panic, forcing him back several steps, the powerful aura pressing on him to the point of difficulty breathing.

"Seems I underestimated you!"

Chi Ren shouted angrily, channeling True Qi into the long sword, pouring it out to block the Nine-Layered Heaven-Burning Palm’s power. However, the impact from the palm wind forced him back several more steps.

His face flickered with surprise and reluctance.

How is this possible!

As a Foundation Establishment Eighth Stage expert, he was driven back by a young brat, perhaps no one would believe it if they heard.

At this moment, his underlings were also dumbfounded. Though they hadn’t followed Chi Ren for long, they personally witnessed his prowess, never having seen him suffer at anyone’s hands.

Chi Ren suppressed his emotions, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Kid, how could you possess such formidable strength? Did you take some Medicine Pill to boost your cultivation?"

He couldn’t believe this kid achieved his talent through sheer cultivation, absolutely must have used some secret medicine!

"Can’t beat me, so you claim I took a pill? Can’t accept a loss, huh? Little bro!"

Yang Cheng sneered, without waiting for the opponent to make a move, he gathered power in his palm, with scorching flames crashing toward Chi Ren.

"Your palm technique is indeed practiced well, but I hadn’t yet used my full strength!"

Chi Ren sneered, tossing the long sword behind him, quickly gathering True Qi into his palms, causing his arms to seemingly swell.

Feeling the True Qi, Yang Cheng sensed the oppressive force, the flames in his palm seemed to weaken, and even the meridians throughout his body felt a throbbing pain.

His heart jolted, instinctively retreating two steps, but Chi Ren was already attacking swiftly, slashing a palm toward his heart.

"Heart-Crushing Palm!"

Chi Ren roared, the power of the palm wind blasting the underlings behind him away.

They knew Chi Ren was formidable, but never seen him this terrifying; it seemed he was going all out.

Feeling the power of the Heart-Crushing Palm, Yang Cheng naturally wouldn’t face it head-on, instead moving agilely to evade.

This Chi Ren, although powerful, weakened somewhat when using the long sword despite his agility, but his Heart-Crushing Palm, though strong in power, slowed in speed.

"Die!"

Chi Ren roared, exerting all his strength as he clashed with Yang Cheng.

The two were only a realm apart, but for experts, even a single realm can determine victory or defeat. If not for Yang Cheng’s agility and possession of the Nine-Layered Heaven-Burning Palm, he would’ve lost by now.

Due to intense exertion, Yang Cheng’s forehead was covered in sweat, panting as he said, "Is that your full strength? Keep at it!"

"Kid! Don’t just boast! If you’re hit by my Heart-Crushing Palm, all your internal organs will be shattered, and even a cultivator like you won’t survive!"

Chi Ren was very confident, once again mustering strength for another palm, and Yang Cheng stepped back several paces immediately.

The palm wind skimmed past his chest, a blunt pain coursing through his innards, as if the air was pulled out of his lungs.
