Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 697 - 675 I Can Die for You Too!

"Tangyu, you must run, run!" Zhang Xiaodong was also getting frantic.

Although Tangyu wanted to leave, where could he go? With a wave of Hu Yanfei’s hand, suddenly a series of figures rushed out, almost ten powerfully auraed assassins encircled Tangyu. These people, in terms of strength, were almost comparable to the Special Forces’ King of Soldiers from the Xuanwu Group. Even if they were weaker, it wouldn’t be by much. What was most terrifying was that these people also had guns, which greatly increased their lethality. No matter how good your Kung Fu is, a single gunshot could take you down.

The difference between having a weapon and being unarmed was significant.

In his prime, Tangyu might have been able to fight, but at this point, Tangyu could not break out of the encirclement.

Zhang Xiaodong and Zhang Xiaoxi were desperately struggling, but how could they break free? Doctor Xiao stood there, his eyes flashing with exceedingly complex emotions.

Tangyu’s gaze swept the surroundings and finally settled on Hu Yanfei. He laughed without anger, his face showing not a hint of concern but rather full of ridicule.

Hu Yanfei’s eyebrows furrowed, "You’re about to die. What are you laughing at?"

"I’m laughing at your foolishness." Tangyu said.

"Hmph, still so arrogant when facing death. You truly don’t know whether to live or die," Hu Yanfei snorted coldly, her jade hand poised to give the order to kill Tangyu.

At that moment, Tangyu was like a Seafixing Divine Needle amidst a fierce storm, unshaken by the pouring rain and blowing winds, as stable as Mount Tai. His state of mind was indeed astonishing, not at all seeming like what someone of his age could possess—the capacity for great openness and grandeur. Tangyu’s laughter did not cease, and he continued, "Do you truly believe that your husband died gloriously on a mission, sacrificing his life for the country?"

Tangyu’s voice was like an awe-inspiring divine force, causing Hu Yanfei’s spirit to shake fiercely. The hand she had raised couldn’t help but stop mid-air as she stared at Tangyu, her eyes slightly widened. Zhang Xiaodong and Zhang Xiaoxi also quieted down, staring blankly at Tangyu.

Tangyu continued, "I believe no one in this world understands your husband better than you, right? His capabilities, his strength, you should be the clearest about them. You must also know a bit about the mission he went on that year. Haven’t you ever doubted, with your husband’s strength, how could he fail so easily? Even if he fell into the enemy’s trap, with their skills, how could it have been a total loss? From what I understand, the team your husband led was Donglin’s strongest special forces unit, known as Wolf Fang, with a glorious track record. A sixteen-man special forces team, plus a large amount of rear support. Even if they encountered danger, wouldn’t they have had time to ask for help?"

Complex emotions flickered in Hu Yanfei’s eyes as it seemed she too was recalling the events of that year, a pain she could never erase.

"Heh, you think by saying these things I will show mercy to you? Do not delay any further, I don’t have the patience to listen to your rambling," Hu Yanfei scoffed.

Tangyu quickly said, "I have no need to delay. I just want to make you understand a buried conspiracy, one that involves you. If after hearing me out you are still determined to fight to the death with me, I will certainly accompany you to the end."

After being silent for a while, Hu Yanfei finally said, "Fine, then I really want to hear what you can say."

Seeing that Hu Yanfei was willing to listen to him further, Tangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This indicated that Hu Yanfei was not yet completely heartless. At the very least, it showed she still deeply loved her deceased husband. As long as there was love, there was a chance for redemption. If he could persuade Hu Yanfei, it would be a good thing. Weakening the power of the Yin Medical Sect would be a significant help to him as well. Moreover, he himself was still in a dangerous situation.

So Tangyu was even more eager to use the cause of her husband’s death to persuade her.

"In fact, I presume you had doubts about the events of that year in your heart. I believe you must have also investigated in secret, only perhaps you found nothing. However, you might have overlooked one thing, the examination of your husband’s corpse." Tangyu said.

Hu Yanfei’s eyes swept over like a cold and sharp sword, and pointing at Tangyu, she shouted angrily, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"What I want to say, you’ve likely already guessed. Your husband died of poisoning. A few days ago, I specifically asked Grandfather Zhang to take me to the Martyrs’ Cemetery. Then we secretly opened the tomb and took out your husband’s ashes from that year, all turned black—clearly a sign of death by poisoning, which only manifested after many years. It didn’t show at the time; otherwise, it would’ve been discovered long ago. This type of poison, I believe you can guess what it is, and you can probably also guess who would have been behind it," Tangyu said, as this was exactly the matter he had been discussing secretly with Grandfather Zhang that day.

"What? My father was poisoned to death?" Both Zhang Xiaodong and Zhang Xiaoxi had their eyes widen in disbelief at this revelation.

Hu Yanfei’s expression was also somewhat trance-like, clearly finding it hard to accept this outcome: "Impossible, it can’t be like this, you’re lying, deceiving me, shut up. You think, I would believe your nonsense? Hmph, crafting such lies even when death is at your doorstep, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!" Hu Yanfei’s emotions were agitated, as if on the verge of madness. The impact of this result was too great for her to bear, she couldn’t believe it and thus became furiously ashamed.

Yet Tangyu stepped forward bravely and declared, "Whether what I’m saying is true or not is for you to decide, but if you don’t believe it, you can check for yourself. The whole affair was orchestrated by your master from behind the scenes, with the sole purpose of making you blindly loyal in serving her. Your master didn’t even hesitate to kill the man you loved most; do you still want to be an accessory to tyranny, continuing to do such cruel and unjust things for your master? You may have lost your husband, but you still have the legacy of you and your husband’s love, your two daughters. Can you really bear to abandon them? As long as there is still love in your heart, I believe your conscience has not perished, you’re not an utterly reprehensible person. You’ve just been blinded by your master, you’ve been too obedient to her commands. It’s hard for a disciple to go against their master, I can sympathize with your dilemma, but if your master is so ruthless, why remain attached? Your master has already killed your husband; do you want to watch her kill your daughter with your own eyes?"

Hu Yanfei nearly took a step back, her heart twisting painfully.

"If that really is the case, how will you face your departed husband after you enter the netherworld? I know you are doing this to protect Xiaodong and Xiaoxi, but don’t you think your method is too extreme? Your best option is to leave your master, lay down your butcher’s knife, and only then will your life break free from the darkness," Tangyu continued. He felt Hu Yanfei’s resolve was beginning to waver and just needed to push a little harder to persuade her to turn back.

"Auntie Hu, turn back, I believe Xiaodong and Xiaoxi will forgive you. Evil will never suppress the good; your master and the leader of the Yin Medical Sect will surely not succeed, and their only end is a dead-end," Tangyu said.

With emotions compressed to the breaking point, Hu Yanfei erupted like a volcano, letting out a fierce cry: "Kill him!"

Crazed, disheveled, as if she had transformed into a demoness.

Tangyu was also taken aback, his face momentarily turning cold, as the Pure Yang Qi within him began to circulate furiously. It seemed Hu Yanfei was in too deep; pulling her back was extremely difficult. A battle today was inevitable.

If it can’t be avoided, then let it come.

"Stop!" Doctor Xiao suddenly rushed forward, shielding Tangyu: "Stop all of you, if you want to kill Tangyu, you’ll have to kill me first."

Doctor Xiao’s action took Tangyu by surprise, then joy, unrestrained, spread across his face: "Doctor Xiao, I knew you weren’t heartless, I was willing to die for you, and you wouldn’t abandon me. Very well, if it’s a battle they want, let’s give them a fierce one. If we are to die, let’s die together. It is our destiny, something we can’t escape. For the sake of all under heaven, for the righteous path in this world, for the mission we carry on our shoulders, let the battle commence!"

Doctor Xiao looked at Tangyu, her teeth tightly clenched, her gaze clear and resolute like never before, "Tangyu, I avoided acknowledging these feelings before, but now I’ve mustered the courage. Love is love, unregretted and wholehearted, you’re worth my life’s devotion. Others may die for you, and so can I. If you were to die today, I will surely not live on without you."

Tangyu smiled, his arms wrapping tightly around Doctor Xiao.

"Sister, have you gone mad? How dare you betray our master?" Hu Yanfei pointed at Doctor Xiao and shouted accusingly.

Doctor Xiao replied, "Sister, I’m not mad. I am perfectly aware of what I’m doing right now. You’ve been through this yourself, Sister; you too once stood up to our master for the sake of a man. Sister, you should understand my feelings; I hope you can empathize with me just once. If the roles were reversed, you’d do the same. We’re both women, life is short, and how many chances at true love do we get? If I get a chance, I will surely cherish it. Sister, if you still hold any old affection for your disciple, grant me face today and let Tangyu go. Otherwise, I will have to fight beside him to the death here today, even if it means perishing together, without any regrets."

Doctor Xiao was resolute, ready to face death; what more could frighten her?

"Very well, sister, think carefully about the consequences of your actions. I’m giving you a chance now, move aside immediately, and I’ll pretend nothing has happened. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless. This mission is a death mission, and no one can stop it, not even you. If we fail to complete our mission, you know the consequences," said Hu Yanfei.

Biting her lip, Doctor Xiao replied, "I know, but if death doesn’t scare me, what is there to fear? Sister, there’s no need for further words; if you insist on not sparing your sister this once, then today I can only die in front of you." Having said that, Doctor Xiao turned to Tangyu, her face filled with infatuation. Time was too short, they might soon depart together to the afterlife, and she longed to let loose all her love.

Clasping Doctor Xiao tight, Tangyu proclaimed, "Killing us won’t be so easy. Since there’s no way out, today we shall carve a bloody path for ourselves. With you by my side, I will never feel alone. With you, my fighting spirit soars, no one can stop us."

"Mmm," Doctor Xiao nodded heavily, even fleeting happiness was enough to be eternally etched in her memory.

With a single thought, a flower blooms, and one reigns supreme over all!
