Mobeichen, t...
"Since you're already here, come out. The moonlight is quite nice tonight, perfect for you to be buried with us." The Ghost Doctor's voice was chilling. Damn grasshoppers, daring to block his way, they're asking for death.
The words fell silent, receiving no reply, only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Mo Beichen felt the fierce winds from all sides, and carrying Yun Qingluo, he landed on the ground, leaning against a large tree that would take five people to encircle.
Mo Beichen lowered his head and asked, "Luo Luo, are you cold?" As he spoke, he adjusted Yun Qingluo's cloak, showing no sign of the tension of being chased.
Yun Qinglu shook her head. "It's not cold, A-Chen. There's more than one force."
Mo Beichen nodded, "Yes, don't worry, they're nothing special."
Suddenly, a group of men in black descended from the sky and rushed towards Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo without saying a word. The Ghost Doctor, who was standing on a treetop in mid-air, was about to fall down when he was entangled by another group of men in black.
"Unexpectedly, the renowned Ghost Doctor would intervene twice for the sake of two young people. Could there be something else going on?" A thunderous voice rang out.
The Ghost Doctor glared angrily, "Lei Tian, it was you? I told you long ago, I didn't kill your son, there's no use in you coming to me."
Lei Tian's voice was sinister, "Hmph, back then, I begged you time and time again with my son, but you refused to help me. Now that you know my son is dead, you're happy, aren't you?"
A fight had already broken out below. Yun Qingluo glanced in the direction of the Ghost Doctor and knew that these people were not all in cahoots. She just didn't know which one was using the other's power.
Yun Qingluo wanted to make a move, but Mo Beichen pulled her behind him, saying, "Be good, it's too cold. Stand aside and wait for me. It'll be ready soon."
Seeing that Mo Beichen's side clearly had the upper hand in the battle below, the Ghost Doctor in the air was in no hurry to go down. He looked at Lei Tian and said, "He was already terminally ill and beyond saving. It's not that I was unwilling to help him. You must know this. Before you brought your son to me, you probably saw many doctors. Lei Tian, why don't you go find your enemy and instead keep chasing after me? What's the point?"
Lei Tian's face turned ashen, and he said angrily, "Is it so hard for a dignified Ghost Doctor to admit that he is useless? Everyone in the martial arts world says that the Ghost Doctor is bold and responsible, but in my opinion, he is nothing more than that."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Doctor regained his composure. "You don't need to try to provoke me. I won't admit to things I didn't do. You might as well go find the person who killed your son."
"Moreover, everyone knows that your son is good-for-nothing. You know perfectly well how he died, but you just don't dare to admit that it was your own indulgence that led to all of this."
"Lei Tian, get out of my way right now, or don't blame me. In the past, I let it go because of your pain of burying your child, but today I have important business to attend to, so don't bother me." The Ghost Doctor, wanting to get Yun Qingluo to see her senior brother as soon as possible, rarely put on a cold face.
Lei Tian, however, was completely oblivious. "Heh, I'm already trying to settle accounts with you, and you dare to talk so arrogantly. Go get him! Kill him, and I'll reward you with a thousand taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, the men in black around him flew towards the Ghost Doctor like arrows.
The Ghost Doctor's face darkened. "Lei Tian, you asked for this."
After saying this, the Ghost Doctor produced a handful of silver needles from between his fingers. As the man in black rushed in front of him, he immediately leaped out of the encirclement and flicked his sleeve downwards, sending a dense rain of silver needles falling like fine raindrops.
The man in black initially didn't take it seriously and tried to block with his sword, but he found that he couldn't block it. When the silver needles landed on his body, he was immediately in excruciating pain. Most of the strength in his hand was dissipated, and he fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Lei Tian was shocked to see this. These people were no longer afraid of ordinary poisons, but he did not expect that they would still be so vulnerable in front of the Ghost Doctor.
In no time, all the men in black had fallen to the ground, screaming in agony, while the Ghost Doctor remained unharmed on the treetop, coldly watching Lei Tian not far away.
Down below, Mo Beichen had already dealt with the men in black.
The attackers were a group of assassins, and they couldn't get any information out of them, so Mo Beichen went straight for the kill. When he saw the layer of men in black not far away, Mo Beichen's lips twitched.
This ghost doctor was not as low-key as he claimed, and as a result, everyone knew that they had a close relationship with him.
However, if the people of Xuancang Continent take notice, that would be troublesome.
Just as Mo Beichen was deep in thought, Lei Tian made his move.
He charged angrily toward the Ghost Doctor, sword in hand. The Ghost Doctor's eyes showed a rare hint of seriousness; this man was actually wearing a full suit of soft armor, no wonder he was so fearless.
Did he think that a suit of soft armor would make him invulnerable to swords and spears?
The Ghost Doctor snorted, "Lei Tian, if you stop now, I can let you go. If you remain stubborn, you really can't blame me."
Lei Tian's anger intensified. "Ghost Doctor, you damned bastard, give me back my son's life!"
The Ghost Doctor held the sword, which was only a centimeter away from his eyes, with one hand. Lei Tian angrily tried to pull the sword back, but the sword did not budge, and the Ghost Doctor did not move either.
A sense of fear rose in Lei Tian's heart. What was going on?
Didn't those people say that the Ghost Doctor had no internal energy? Why can't he sense any internal energy from him? But if he had no internal energy, how could he have withstood a sword strike with 50% internal energy?
With a flick of his wrist, the Ghost Doctor deflected Lei Tian's sword, sending Lei Tian staggering back three steps. The Ghost Doctor sneered, "You're being used as a pawn without even realizing it. You really are stupid."
Lei Tian was indignant, but after hearing the Ghost Doctor's words, he was slightly taken aback. "How do you know... No, I am here today to avenge my son. Ghost Doctor, take this! Today, it's either you or me who dies."
The Ghost Doctor rolled his eyes speechlessly. He had originally kept him around to ask if the person behind it was the one he suspected, but now it seemed that it was probably a waste of time.
The Ghost Doctor concentrated thirty percent of his inner strength in his right hand and swung his palm to repel Lei Tian. Lei Tian was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, he realized with horror the gap between them that had existed until now.
He immediately stopped fighting and shouted into the void, "How long are you going to keep watching? If you let them leave tonight, your plan will not be completed."
The Ghost Doctor frowned slightly. The group of people in the shadows were actually in cahoots with them.
Mo Beichen, who was below, held Yun Qingluo protectively in his arms, and was also slightly startled.
He had long suspected that there was another group of people lurking in the shadows. He thought they were just waiting to reap the benefits, but he never expected that they were actually in cahoots with Lei Tian. Moreover, it seemed that Lei Tian was causing trouble for them on the orders of that group.
