Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 577 How about it?

"Xu Ke, what are you saying? Are you in that much of a hurry to die?" Shi Hongda had the strongest reaction, bellowing at him.

Let Tang Yingchang hit him? What kind of joke is this?

"This method won't work. We wait for the doctor," Han Wang interjected, taking it upon himself to issue a cold command.

The Ghost Poison Elders and the Yin Yang Elders didn't speak, but their silence was a clear expression of their stance—they did not approve.

As for Bai Qian'er and Duan Zhuo'e, they watched with stunned uncertainty, but they didn't object. This wasn't the first time Xu Ke had resorted to such bizarre antics. Every time, they were the first to doubt him, only for Xu Ke to prove them wrong. Having learned their lesson, they certainly wouldn't be the first to speak out now.

"None of your damn business!" Xu Ke cursed, spitting blood as he looked at Tang Yingchang. "Elder Tang, let's begin."

Tang Yingchang nodded at once. "No problem!" He'd had his own hesitations, but the moment he remembered Xu Ke was the Medical Saint's disciple, he chose to trust him completely. What did a bizarre method matter? This was the disciple of the Medical Saint!

"Alright, let's start," Xu Ke said, assuming a ready stance as his palms began to sweat.

This time it wasn't from the pain, but from nerves… Back when his master was around, he could confidently rely on him to disperse the medicinal potency. His master could precisely control the force, applying the exact amount needed—no more, no less. But now, he had to rely on himself. This was different from using Duan Chongfeng's power to suppress the Dragon Essence; this was going to be a real, full-force beating… His only hope was to figure out the precise threshold of force quickly, before Elder Tang beat him to death in two or three strikes!

But at this moment, Shi Hongda refused to stand by. He roared, "Stop! I don't agree! What if he kills you?"

His reaction was so extreme because he was terrified Xu Ke would die, leaving them all without an antidote. At this thought, he shot a fierce glare at the back of the Military Spike Assassin. It was all that old bastard's fault! Otherwise, he would have been free of the poison long ago.

"Exactly," Han Wang agreed, raising a hand to block Tang Yingchang.

"Move! If Mister Xu dies, will you take responsibility?" Tang Yingchang yelled, his heart pounding with anxiety.

The sweat and blood on Xu Ke's face had begun to merge. If he didn't get help soon, he was going to die… And these bastards were still getting in the way?

"Responsible my ass! This is the first I've ever heard of curing someone by having an Innate Martial Artist at the Great Perfection level beat them," Han Wang spat, then turned to Xu Ke. "If you want me to back off, fine. Give me the antidote first. Once I'm cured, you can let whoever you want hit you." As he spoke, a sinister smile crept across Han Wang's face. If he could take advantage of the situation and snatch the antidote, it would be an excellent move!

His words stunned Shi Hongda and the others for a moment, and then their shock gave way to elation. That's right. They could do that too!

"You want the antidote? Then how about we all just die together?" a sweat-drenched Xu Ke retorted with a cold laugh.

"You…" Han Wang's expression soured. He figured Xu Ke was bluffing. If he just kept pushing, Xu Ke might give in. But he didn't dare take the gamble. It wasn't that he feared Xu Ke truly wanted to die with them; he was afraid that while Xu Ke might not want to die, the gamble itself could lead to his death as the medicinal potency overwhelmed him…

This exchange was enough to make the others with ill intentions drop the idea.

"Get out of my way!" At this, Shi Hongda shoved Han Wang aside and faced Xu Ke. "Xu Ke, I don't know what you're trying to pull, but I'm telling you, if you really let Tang Yingchang hit you, you won't survive three strikes! Don't think that just because you managed to defeat me a few times with your cunning poisons and traps, you actually understand the power of the Innate Great Perfection realm! You know nothing about its power!" As he spoke, he exuded an arrogance born from the disdain an Innate Martial Artist feels for an Acquired one.

"You think you're so impressive just because you landed one punch? I was just underestimating you!" Han Wang sneered, trying to save face. He assumed Xu Ke only looked down on the Innate Great Perfection realm because he'd managed to land a surprise punch, leading him to believe it wasn't all that special. But that wasn't the truth! The power of the Innate Great Perfection realm was far beyond Xu Ke's imagination.

Hearing this, Xu Ke spat out a bloody froth. "You think you're so damn capable? You think I don't know the measure of the Innate Great Perfection realm? Get lost! If you don't, you'll never see the antidote in this lifetime, you got that, Shi Hongda?"

The burning potency of the medicine shrouded his heart in the shadow of death, and these old fools wanted to exploit his crisis, mock him, and look down on him? Are they morons?

"You…" Shi Hongda's face turned green with rage, but before he could retort, several people forcibly dragged him away. Even if they didn't believe Xu Ke's "hit me" strategy would work, they didn't want to listen to Shi Hongda's constant interference.

"Fine! I'll just watch how you die…" Shi Hongda's face was grim as he stared at Xu Ke and Tang Yingchang. He spat on the ground. "The power of the Innate Great Perfection realm… you think you can control that? Kid! I'll see how you die!"

After Bai Qian'er and the others had pushed everyone back, Tang Yingchang immediately turned to the trembling Xu Ke. "Mister Xu, what do I do?"

"In ten seconds, use fifty percent of your power and hit me right here," Xu Ke instructed, pointing to a spot on his right arm while mentally calculating the medicine's path through his body.

Everyone watching was shocked. Fifty percent? Does he not want that arm anymore? But at the same time, they breathed a collective sigh of relief. Luckily, he only asked to be hit on the arm. Even if it failed, at worst, he'd only lose an arm. If the method proved useless, they could immediately stop Tang Yingchang before he beat Xu Ke to death…

"Understood!" Tang Yingchang nodded and began the countdown. "Ten, nine…" Since he'd chosen to trust Xu Ke, he wouldn't hesitate.

At that moment, everyone held their breath. If this punch had no effect, they would immediately take Xu Ke to the closer Sui City…

"One! Strike now!" Xu Ke roared.

Tang Yingchang's fist flew like lightning, carrying an earth-shattering momentum. Even at just fifty percent of its power, the blow seemed to make the very air over the desolate wasteland solidify for an instant.

BANG—

The sound of the collision reverberated through heaven and earth.

Everyone stared intently at Xu Ke's arm, ready to rush in the moment they heard the crack of bone. Even Tang Yingchang was prepared. If this doesn't work, I'll stop immediately!

But what none of them realized was that one other person was just as anxious: Xu Ke himself.

With his heart in his throat, he felt Tang Yingchang's devastating power rush into his body and slam violently into the raging medicinal potency…

WHOOSH.

At the moment of impact, Xu Ke heard a sound like a receding tide echoing within him. Instantly, his tension vanished.

It turned out Xu Ke had been worrying too much. Although he had never tried dispersing medicinal potency this way before, he was a doctor with exquisitely fine control over his own body. Moreover, he had once reached the Innate Great Perfection realm and possessed a profound understanding of its cultivation. Combining these two factors, finding the precise threshold of force Tang Yingchang should exert was as easy as flipping his hand. Under his guidance, Tang Yingchang quickly applied the exact amount of force needed to accurately disperse the medicine.

Seeing Xu Ke fall silent with a look of apprehension still on his face, everyone else was on tenterhooks. Tang Yingchang couldn't help but ask in a quavering voice, "How is it?"
