Romantic Medical Immortal

Yang Cheng was shocked. This old man wasn’t exaggerating. Although his body was impervious to swords and spears, this Heart-Shattering Palm was like striking a bull across a mountain.

Getting hit even once would cause severe damage to the internal organs, and even if one didn’t die, they would be gravely injured and lose the ability to counterattack.

So far, the strongest opponents Yang Cheng had faced, besides the one from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, were Lai Zhongyao and Chi Ren.

However, the two had different styles. Lai Zhongyao excelled in Poison Techniques, while Chi Ren relied on pure strength, without any trickery.

Corpse Poison?

His eyes shone brightly, almost forgetting he still knew the Poison Control Skill.

Unfortunately, when he killed Lai Zhongyao at that time, he didn’t have the chance to absorb the poison from Lai Zhongyao’s body, otherwise his Poison Control Skill would be even stronger.

Against this kind of raw strength, using poison was the best approach.

While contemplating, a gray mist already started to spread from Yang Cheng’s fingertips.

This mist was hidden within the True Qi, going unnoticed as it silently wrapped around Chi Ren’s arm.

Just as Chi Ren was about to launch another attack, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. The arm, originally full of fiery True Qi, had somehow been invaded by a gray mist exuding a strange aura.

"What is this damn thing! What did you do?"

Chi Ren roared in anger, glaring viciously at Yang Cheng.

"Your words are harsh. Poison Techniques are also part of my abilities, how is this trickery?"

Yang Cheng chuckled softly, raising his hand slightly, and the mist coiled around Chi Ren’s arm swiftly expanded like it was splitting apart, soon engulfing the entire arm.

"Ah!!"

The feeling of being eroded by the mist was not pleasant, and Chi Ren let out a painful howl.

Seeing the mist spreading toward his chest, he decisively extended his hand, summoning a long sword to his palm, and swiftly swung it down, severing his own arm.

Splurt!

Blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly staining the ground red.

"Damn! Chi Ren actually can’t beat this kid?"

"Impossible! This kid just used a cheap trick, it’s not over yet!"

"Exactly! Chi Ren is enraged now; he’ll definitely tear this kid to pieces."

The gang members believed there was no way Chi Ren could lose. If he did, then no one in the entire club, perhaps even the entire Zhonghai, could be his opponent.

Chi Ren, his face twisted in pain, hastily circulated his True Qi to stop the bleeding, his eyes filled with murderous intent, wishing he could skin Yang Cheng alive.

"Boy! You actually managed to sever my arm, I underestimated you. No matter what today, I will kill you!"

His teeth gritted together with a creak, the pain fueling his anger and hatred to its peak.

After cultivating for so many years and finally becoming a Foundation Establishment Realm master, and on the verge of stepping into the Golden Core Realm, losing an arm now made further advancement in cultivation even more difficult.

He never imagined that with his level of expertise, he couldn’t defeat this young brat.

Yang Cheng was much more composed, though he was quite surprised at Chi Ren’s decisiveness in severing his own arm.

The poison was spreading rapidly, and a moment’s hesitation could lead it to invade the lungs, but Chi Ren didn’t give himself the chance.

Poison Control Skill required timing, and now that the opponent was on guard, repeating the same trick had no meaning.

Yang Cheng remembered that besides the Poison Control Skill, he also had the ’Devouring’ power he had just obtained.

Not only Chi Ren underestimated him, but he too hadn’t used his strongest move from the start.

Buzz!

At that moment, a red light came rushing towards him. Yang Cheng focused his eyes and saw Chi Ren’s fierce gaze, with his one arm shrouded in a vast amount of True Qi, coming at him.

He could feel Chi Ren was drawing upon most of his True Qi, and even if it couldn’t hit directly, the palm wind could still cause damage to his lungs and kidneys.

Yang Cheng’s lips curled into a slight smile. Chi Ren was attacking with full strength, but he had another trick up his sleeve.

With a subtle mental command, a black hole appeared in his palm, and dark red streams of mist began to swirl around, forming a vortex.

Chi Ren’s eyes widened at the sight, realizing the opponent seemed to have another move, but he had no way back; this strike had to be delivered.

As the distance between the two closed, Yang Cheng raised his hand lightly, and the vortex in his palm began to rotate, sucking in the red True Qi surrounding Chi Ren.

Boom!

Their palms collided with a loud explosion, the resulting force sending ripples outwards.

Even though the people around had retreated to a corner, they were still knocked unconscious instantly by the shockwave.

The power of the Heart-Shattering Palm was too overwhelming, and touched by the palm wind, Yang Cheng was also in discomfort, his internal organs roaring with pain, and blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.

However, fortunately, the Devouring power had played a significant role, diverting a portion of the force, preventing extensive injury.

"Impossible! What kind of move is this!"

Chi Ren was dumbfounded, his face full of shock.

Whoosh!

As Yang Cheng looked up, preparing to counterattack, he noticed a silver light shooting towards him.

The speed was too fast, and his attention was focused on the Devouring power in his palm, realizing what it was when it was already too late.

He could only slightly twist his body, allowing a long spike to pierce through his scapula.

This was a hidden weapon called the Penetrating Nail, and because it was wrapped with True Qi, it could easily penetrate Yang Cheng’s body.

If he hadn’t shifted his body just now, the Penetrating Nail would have pierced through his heart.

Merely piercing the heart wouldn’t be immediately fatal, but the Penetrating Nail had a particularly insidious feature; once inside, its tip would spread open, forming barbed hooks like a lotus flower.

Driven by the user’s True Qi, if the Penetrating Nail retraced its path, those countless barbs would tear apart the area around the wound, akin to being stabbed dozens of times in the same spot.

Yang Cheng’s body stiffened, and the next second Chi Ren activated the Penetrating Nail forcefully.

Splurt!

The barbs on the Penetrating Nail pierced straight through, forming a bloody hole in Yang Cheng’s shoulder, causing blood to gush crazily, soaking his clothes.

Yang Cheng grunted in pain, his face turning pale, quickly covering the wound and channeling True Qi to stop the bleeding.

"Hahaha! Boy, in the end, you’re still too inexperienced, you can’t beat me!"

Chi Ren was extremely pleased, having cultivated for years and even though both sides had similar strength, his experience was more abundant.

However, he didn’t understand what trick that kid had just used. Supposedly, the Heart-Shattering Palm was the technique that could suppress and absorb others’ power, yet just now his palm’s True Qi had been forcibly sucked away.

Had the power not weakened, the Heart-Shattering Palm just now would have been enough to take the boy’s life.

"Despicable villain, using such a sinister hidden weapon!"

Yang Cheng said through clenched teeth, his gaze filled with a piercing chill.
