His feet were lifted off the ground by this powerful force, and he couldn't stand steadily at all; his feet were lifted directly into the air.

He stared in horror, trying to struggle, but found himself so small and powerless in the face of this force.

In the blink of an eye, he was like a puppet controlled by an invisible hand, suddenly sucked up and flew straight to Master Huang's side.

Master Huang's eyes were icy, and a mocking smile played on his lips. He stretched out a large hand, like an iron clamp, and grabbed Deng Zihua's neck in one swift motion.

Deng Zihua felt a tightness in his throat, and his breathing became difficult. He tried desperately to pry Master Huang's hands open, but to no avail.

The next moment, Master Huang's eyes sharpened, and he gathered all his strength, striking Deng Zihua's dantian with a powerful palm strike.

This palm strike was like a massive boulder crashing down, or the force of a thunderbolt, carrying an overwhelming power.

Deng Zihua felt a sharp pain in his dantian, as if his internal organs had been displaced, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, flying out of the already dilapidated door of the pill shop and crashing heavily onto the ground outside the shop.

This Deng Zihua, after all, is the third elder of the Divine Doctor Valley. He is usually very powerful in the valley and has the cultivation of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

He considered himself a master in this world, but he never expected that Master Huang would suddenly make a move, and that the move would be so ruthless that he was powerless to fight back.

Of course, the disparity in strength between the two is also a major reason for the current situation.

Deng Zihua was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while Master Huang was already at the peak of Foundation Establishment. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Faced with absolute power, all of Deng Zihua's struggles seemed so pale and powerless.

"Master Huang, you...you dare to lay a hand on someone from our Divine Healer Valley? You're simply not taking our Divine Healer Valley seriously at all!"

Upon seeing this, Wen Hanqiang, the fifth elder of the Divine Doctor Valley, glared angrily and roared at Master Huang in a gruff voice.

This Wen Hanqiang was tall and burly, like an iron tower, exuding a fierce aura. He had the cultivation of a high-level Martial Grandmaster and was usually hot-tempered.

Master Huang remained unmoved. He smiled coldly, his eyes full of contempt, and said, "You were the ones who started this trouble. You have only yourself to blame for what happened today. Leave immediately, or you will suffer the same fate as Deng Zihua, whose cultivation I have crippled!" His voice was like the north wind in winter, icy and chilling, sending shivers down one's spine.

Although Wen Hanqiang had a fiery temper and was usually fearless, he was starting to feel intimidated before Valley Master Mei Ruohua could speak.

After all, his strength is far inferior to that of the Second Elder Deng Zihua. If he were to fight Master Huang, even if he went all out, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from Master Huang.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed back the words that were about to come out. He just glared angrily at Master Huang, but dared not speak again.

"Haha, well learned! This Divine Doctor Valley is renowned throughout the martial arts world, and I thought they were all highly skilled and unfathomable masters. But who would have thought that they would be so utterly helpless in front of Master Huang? They're like paper, easily punctured!"

A burly man with a full beard slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, his hearty laughter echoing throughout the medicine shop.

"Don't underestimate the people of Divine Doctor Valley. Look at Mei Ruohua, she hasn't said a word yet. But her eyes, tsk tsk, are like two sharp daggers, as if she wants to cut people into a thousand pieces, exuding a chilling murderous aura."

A scholar dressed in a blue robe spoke in a low voice, cautiously, with a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

"That's right! If Mei Ruohua really fights with Master Huang, the scene is terrifying to even think about. This small pill shop will probably be razed to the ground in an instant, and everything here will be destroyed. We'll all suffer then."

A thin man next to him shrank back, his face full of fear, and his eyes were full of worry.

Those around them nodded in agreement, and many began to unconsciously back away, trying to distance themselves from Mei Ruohua and Master Huang, as if afraid that if a fight broke out, they would be caught in the crossfire.

After all, on this battlefield where the strong clash, ordinary people like them are like ants, and the slightest carelessness could lead to their annihilation.

Yelü Hong, the second elder of the Divine Doctor Valley, stood to the side, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

Seeing Master Huang so firmly defending the Fang family, his worries surged like waves, growing ever deeper.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the surrounding chatter and exclamations were so loud and chaotic that he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to speak.

Just then, Mei Ruohua, who had been silent all along, suddenly exuded a murderous aura that spread outwards as if it were a tangible force.

She stared coldly at Master Huang and said, word by word, "Master Huang, it seems you're determined to help the Fang family and become enemies with my Divine Doctor Valley today?"

Master Huang remained calm, as if he had not sensed Mei Ruohua's palpable killing intent. He slightly raised his head, met Mei Ruohua's gaze calmly, and said indifferently, "If you want to be an enemy of the Fang family, then you are an enemy of me."
