Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 575: Terrible Situation

Everyone wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes.

How could such a thing happen?

But seeing the fresh blood trickling down Han Wang's face, everyone couldn't help but gasp. Even if they didn't believe it, this was undeniably real!

At this moment, the Yin and Yang Elders suddenly looked embarrassed. They had been fighting for half the day, yet their efforts weren't as effective as Xu Ke's single punch?

Duan Zhuo'e's mouth hung open as he stared dumbly at Han Wang and Xu Ke. He finally realized why the other man was a Seasoned Envoy.

It wasn't about talent… It's about sheer strength!

As for Bai Qian'er, she was completely stunned. She suddenly understood why Xu Ke had refused to commit to a full-fledged fight with her. This was the harsh reality. She probably couldn't even withstand a single one of his punches!

As for Fang Caizhe, now seriously injured, his body trembled like chaff. His mouth was parched and his throat unbearably dry.

Xu Ke… is this terrifying?

After being struck, an overwhelming sense of humiliation flooded Han Wang's heart. He had never felt so cornered before. Being outmaneuvered or caught in an explosion were things he could accept. But now, a mere Martial Artist at the Innate Great Perfection stage dared to ride on his head and defecate?

He couldn't accept this!

"Xu Ke, you will die!"

Enraged, Han Wang let out a thunderous roar. An aura as chilling as the polar ice caps erupted from his body, and this bone-piercing coldness condensed as he slammed a palm forward. This strike was meant to kill Xu Ke!

Seeing this, the distant Yin and Yang Elders and Shi Hongda finally panicked. If Xu Ke were slapped to death, wouldn't that mean they too were doomed?

Tang Yingchang, frantic with urgency, kicked the still-shocked Military Spike Assassin aside and dashed toward Han Wang.

Just as Han Wang, under everyone's watchful eyes, was about to strike the charging Xu Ke with his palm, his pupils contracted. He saw Xu Ke, the man who had just wounded him, suddenly begin to bleed ceaselessly from all seven facial orifices. His pupils dilated, and he collapsed.

THUD.

Xu Ke passed out.

With his target gone, Han Wang's palm struck nothing but air. He never imagined that Xu Ke would falter in less than two seconds after such an outburst. In the next moment, Han Wang quickly looked down, eager to grab the now powerless Xu Ke.

The opportunity has come! This thought flashed through his mind.

Han Wang reached out.

But at that moment, his body was immediately restrained by two strong hands. He spun his head around. The Ghost Elder, having unleashed his Iron Shell Divine Skill to its absolute limit, had arrived.

At the same time, a voice carrying a cold, murderous intent came from afar. "Old bastard, get lost!"

It was Tang Yingchang, who had rushed over at extreme speed after striking the Military Spike Assassin.

Han Wang's face stiffened, a look of despair creeping in.

I'm done for...

「...」

Pain.

So much pain.

His head was throbbing!

The world, seething with waves of fire, quickly dissipated. Xu Ke was left with an extreme headache, and every pore in his body screamed in agony, as if he'd been punched and kicked all over. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the elder before him. After a brief moment of bewilderment, a smile appeared. "Master, why so glum?"

In front of him stood a black-robed elder, frowning and looking at him with displeasure. The elder was none other than Ren Gu.

"You little rascal, you still dare to ask me?" Ren Gu was furious.

Xu Ke looked puzzled. "Did I do something?"

"Do you not see the state you're in?"

"Uh..." Xu Ke was even more confused.

"Did you eat the Kirin Ginseng I prepared?" Ren Gu cursed. "That stuff can help you break through from Innate Great Perfection to the Innate Realm, but it was meant for body tempering, not for eating! What's the hurry? Are you that desperate to reach the Innate Realm?"

Xu Ke was stunned as a memory flashed through his mind. Back then, he was tormented by Ren Gu every day. To nourish his body, he often had to take medicinal baths and eat medicinal meals. But Ren Gu was sly. To save time on formal lessons, he made Xu Ke concoct the medicinal liquids and prepare the meals himself. Once, Xu Ke had eaten a medicinal meal he made himself. That time, he had accidentally included the Kirin Ginseng Ren Gu had set aside for his body tempering. It was because of that incident that he had managed to break through to the Innate Realm.

"Master, I was wrong!" Xu Ke stammered as he remembered.

Seeing this, Ren Gu huffed and glared but didn't scold him further. Instead, he plopped down on the bed and said, "Let me tell you, you're lucky I returned from catching those Free Range Chickens in time. I was able to use my True Qi to help you expel a great deal of the medicinal power; otherwise, you would have died. Although I'm heartbroken over the wasted medicinal power of the Kirin Ginseng, at least your life was saved. You'd better remember to pay me back for it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ke felt a jolt of belated fear. He then scratched his head. "Do we really need to quibble over money?"

"Of course you don't need to quibble," Ren Gu said with a magnanimous wave. "I've already kept a detailed account for you."

Xu Ke was speechless.

"Master, why don't you tell me how you helped me expel the medicinal power? I'm quite curious about that," Xu Ke said, changing the subject.

"Why are you curious about that? Are you planning to recklessly ingest strange things again in the future?"

"When you wander the world, you never know what might happen..."

"Fine..." Ren Gu shook his head and explained patiently. "It's simple. You use a force at the absolute limit of what your body, enhanced by the medicinal power, can withstand and use it to shatter the energy. Remember the key point: it *must* be the absolute limit your body and the medicine can handle. No more, no less. Too much, and you'll die. Too little, and you'll still die. Got it?"

Xu Ke nodded. "I've got it!"

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt an intense pain surge through his body again. Then, the memory began to fade like a burning piece of paper, the master and the room disappearing before his eyes, inch by inch.

He tried to speak, but he suddenly realized—at this moment, two wild streams of energy were converging inside him. They formed a force as torrential as a marauding beast, rampaging through his meridians, his Dantian, and every pore in his body.

It was then that Xu Ke suddenly remembered. He knew where he was.

He had just consumed the Jade Mountain Lotus—a treasure as renowned as the Kirin Ginseng and the Blood Jade Monarch, worth 120,000,000. On top of that, he had forcibly absorbed a significant amount of Dragon Essence. These two substances were the culprits behind the rampant force wreaking havoc inside his body.

I'm done for... Xu Ke gritted his teeth through the excruciating pain. If he didn't get both of these forces under control, he was sure to die.

Expend the medicinal power.

Conquer the Dragon Essence.

These two damned things are mixed together… how am I supposed to handle this?

"Xu Ke, wake up, Xu Ke..."

"What do we do? Should we call a doctor?"

"There's no time! If he doesn't vent all that power inside him, he'll be dead for sure even if a doctor shows up..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"So what do we do?"

"How about we give him artificial respiration?" Duan Zhuo'e suggested at that moment.

"...A-Alright!" Bai Qian'er's hesitant voice replied.

Hearing the voices around him, Xu Ke was startled, and then his expression changed dramatically.

Bai Qian'er is going to give me artificial respiration? Hell no!

He immediately opened his eyes.

But the face that came into view left Xu Ke utterly flabbergasted...
