Chapter 1387: You Are a Quack!

Given his current condition, making him stand up and throw a punch was certainly unrealistic. The fastest and most convenient method was to knock him unconscious and examine him like an object.

Previously, there were herbs that could knock someone out, but given the opponent's strength, these things were no longer effective.

Nonsense!

Before Elder Liao could speak, the White Feather Saint Physician beside him was nearly furious.

As a saint physician of the Saint Son Hall, he knew countless diagnostic methods and had seen numerous strange and novel examination techniques, but knocking someone unconscious... unheard of!

Once a person faints, their metabolism differs from normal. External injuries could be diagnosed, but such long-accumulated internal injuries could not be used as a basis. Asking someone to faint right away—what exactly did he intend to do?

So? Will you faint yourself, or shall I do it?

Ignoring the angry saint physician, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and looked over.

I...

Elder Liao hadn't expected such a diagnostic method either. He turned to look at the saint physician not far away, bewildered.

Forget it, I'll do it myself!

Seeing his hesitation, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to waste words. He raised his palm and struck fiercely.

Whoosh!

The air was instantly compressed, making it hard to breathe. Just as his fingertips were about to touch the opponent, he suddenly lifted them.

Pop!

A sound of air explosion rang out. Elder Liao's vision went black, and he immediately fainted.

This is... the Vacuum Spirit-Breaking Technique? A secret art even eight-star physicians cannot achieve?

White Feather Saint Physician's pupils contracted.

Vacuum Spirit-Breaking Technique?

Fei Shi was puzzled.

Some injuries are too painful to treat, requiring unconsciousness to avoid trouble. But whether drugs or other means, they all cause varying degrees of harm. The Vacuum Spirit-Breaking Technique uses the sonic boom of palm wind to stimulate the primordial spirit, causing temporary loss of consciousness... It's a type of demonic sound, precisely not falling into that category!

Unconscious but unharmed... That's why countless physicians want to learn it but find it difficult. Even I cannot accomplish it. Unexpectedly, he did...

Sighing in admiration, White Feather Saint Physician's eyes showed slight doubt: Could he also be a demonic sound master?

Seeing Elder Liao faint, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and gently placed his hand on the other's wrist.

Hum!

A book appeared in his mind. He hurriedly opened it and, after just one glance, his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. Then he looked up at the old man before him, unable to suppress his anger.

You quack, are you satisfied only after killing Elder Liao?

What did you say?

White Feather's face darkened.

In the Saint Son Hall, revered as a saint physician, even law elders, let alone true elders, would address him respectfully as Saint Physician White... This fellow, on the other hand, called him a quack outright. Raging fury nearly made him explode!

Boom!

The power within him could no longer be restrained. It surged forth violently, and everyone around felt a stiffness, as if falling into an ice cellar.

Peak of Saint Realm Eighth Layer!

Such strength was top-notch even across the entire continent.

What did I say? Don't you have a clue in your heart? If you can't treat, don't treat recklessly. A saint physician... I think you're a leftover physician!

Waving his hand, ignoring the opponent's oppressive aura, Zhang Xuan's face was full of impatience.

You...

Breathing rapidly, looking at the deep disdain in the young man's eyes, White Feather Saint Physician felt his chest about to burst from suppression.

From childhood to adulthood, when had he ever been insulted like this?

No matter your background, if you don't explain things clearly today, don't blame me for being rude!

With white beard fluttering, White Feather Saint Physician forcibly suppressed the power that could explode at any moment.

Those who could enter the Saint Son Hall all had profound backgrounds and origins. Although extremely angry, he dared not act rashly.

Explain?

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan ignored the other and looked up at the unconscious Elder Liao. Suddenly, he raised his foot and kicked hard toward the latter's head!

What are you doing...

Seeing his speed and attack power, if hit, the head would surely explode on the spot. White Feather nearly went mad.

Is he insane?

You ask him to treat, and he first knocks the person unconscious. That's one thing, but after cursing me out, he directly strikes the unconscious patient...

Is he afraid he won't die fast enough?

Whoosh!

His body flickered, arriving at the scene. He reached out with his hand, and the power of the Cave Void realm formed a ripple, blocking Zhang Xuan's descending palm.

First, knock him out...

Lifting his eyelids, Zhang Xuan turned his wrist.

White Feather was startled. Before he could react, he felt his heart leap.

Whoosh!

A Hellfire Azure Dragon Beast abruptly appeared before everyone. Its thick tail curled and charged toward White Feather Saint Physician.

You...

Before he could react, White Feather Saint Physician was struck on the shoulder. A sharp pain shot through him, and he flew backward.

Although his strength was on par with the other's, the latter possessed dragon bloodline, inherently powerful. Coupled with the sudden appearance, like a sneak attack, he suffered a loss in the first exchange.

Damn it...

His face turned livid. White Feather Physician roared and was about to charge down, but as soon as he moved, he saw the Azure Dragon Beast meet him.

This huge creature, despite its massive size, was as fast as lightning. Its thick claws, with a sharpness that seemed to tear space, descended from the air.

Knowing he couldn't dodge, White Feather Saint Physician had no choice but to meet it. He clenched his fist and struck upward.

Boom!

The two peak experts clashed. Their power swept across, and the light shields on the surrounding platforms shook incessantly, flickering as if they might shatter at any moment.

Ripples appeared in space, blowing the crowd back repeatedly.

What's going on...

What's with this sacred beast?

Fei Shi, Feng Ziyi, and the others were once again dumbfounded.

Wasn't this about treating an illness?

How did it turn into a fight in an instant?

And this should be a beast pet... A sacred beast at the peak of Saint Realm Eighth Layer—how was it tamed?

A beast pet counts as part of a beast tamer's strength. If I had really been reckless enough to challenge him earlier, I'd probably be dead by now... Zhang Xu's body trembled slightly, cold sweat pouring from his head.

He had indeed thought of challenging the other. Fortunately, Feng Ziyi had spoken up in advance; otherwise, even this sacred beast wouldn't need to act—just sitting down would likely kill him, with no escape.

Enlightener Saint Son, beating Zhang Chun and Zhang Feng, cutting Feng Ziyi down with one sword, cursing White Feather Saint Physician, and even summoning such a powerful sacred beast...

Earlier, he thought the other was too low-key. Now it seemed... low-key my foot!

Probably no one could be more high-profile than this!

Others might be high-profile in one aspect, but he, in every aspect, left others no way out... Thinking about it was exhausting.

He had even considered making him a rival, but now it seemed that even if he wanted to treat him as a rival, the other might not look up to him...

The gap was simply too vast.

Shaking his head helplessly, he looked again at the young man not far away. But the latter paid no attention to the battle in the air; instead, he looked at Elder Liao before him, a ruthless glint flashing in his pitch-black eyes.

Let's begin!

Whoosh!

He raised his foot and kicked again.

Bang!

The sole landed on the other's face. The latter, still unconscious, had no resistance. He flew straight off the stretcher, crashed into the platform wall, and smashed a large hole.

This...

His eyebrows jumped, and Zhang Xu's mouth twitched.

Just how deep was the grudge?

And what exactly did this Zhang Xuan intend to do?

If he really killed Elder Liao, he wouldn't escape either!

Shocked and unsure what to do, he saw Zhang Xuan kick the unconscious Elder Liao away, then charge again. Before the latter could land, he kicked out once more.

Bang!

Elder Liao flew up like a soccer ball, shooting straight into the sky.

Whether intentional or not, the direction he flew happened to be right between the battling White Physician and the Azure Dragon Beast.

The two were fighting with all their might, their power churning. Even ordinary half-step Ninth Layer experts dared not approach. Elder Liao, only at Saint Realm Seventh Layer and unconscious, was caught in the power before he even got close, seemingly about to be ground to dust.

It's over...

Fei Shi swayed, nearly falling.

The two experts were fighting so fiercely, releasing all their power. Except for Saint Realm Ninth Layer experts, no one could withstand it... Even if he were caught in it, he would surely die, let alone the unconscious Elder Liao.

Liao Xin...

White Feather Saint Physician clearly hadn't expected this either, but by now the power had been released and couldn't be taken back. He cried out in alarm but had no recourse.

Hum!

Just when everyone thought Elder Liao was doomed, a soft hum came from within his body. The frost on his surface suddenly expanded outward, forming a misty sphere about three meters in diameter.

The sphere swelled and spread upward, like a huge lotus flower.

The violent attacks from both sides landed on the lotus. The latter shook but did not shatter, and the unconscious Elder Liao remained unharmed.

It seemed the flower had saved his life.

This...

Such a turn of events left White Feather Saint Physician and the Hellfire Azure Dragon Beast momentarily stunned, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Their combined attack could not be withstood even by the formation of the entire hall, yet a lotus flower blocked it... What on earth was this thing?

This is the moment...

As if knowing this would happen, Zhang Xuan below raised his eyebrows, turned his wrist, and the top-grade spirit stone given by Luo Xuanqing appeared in his palm. He pinched it with his left hand and sucked fiercely.

Rumble!

Vast spiritual energy surged into his body, replenishing his previous consumption. His eyebrows lifted, and he pointed sharply with his right hand.

Rip!

The Lingxu Sword broke through the air, slashing straight toward Elder Liao in the sky.

This sword, still in the air, formed a sword light dozens of meters long, as if cutting through space itself, making it hard to defend against.

Pfft!

The sword light struck the lotus outside Elder Liao's body. It hit somewhere unknown, and the originally invincible lotus shattered like glass.

How is that possible?

White Feather Saint Physician was dumbfounded.

The lotus that he and the Azure Dragon Beast couldn't destroy together was split open by a single sword energy from him. Could it be that this fellow's strength surpassed his?

Had he already reached Saint Realm Ninth Layer?
