Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 903 - 906: Pill Room!
Xia Ye did not feel discouraged.
Because the clan members all saw that Guo Jie fought two opponents at once, defeating one and nearly breaking the other.
Such a performance is exceedingly impressive for a martial artist of the same rank.
Moreover, even though he lost this round, he could still claim second place among the Mysterious Rank warriors of the three veins, which is no disgrace.
Sure enough, without giving Guo Jie any chance to catch his breath, Guo Feng took a swift step forward, appearing directly before Guo Jie and channeling his entire Inner Qi to envelop his fist.
Bam!
A heavy sound resounded, and Guo Jie was sent flying into the water, blood gushing out from his mouth.
Though he tried to raise his hands to block, he had no Inner Qi to support him. How could he possibly withstand Guo Feng?
Seeing such a bloody scene, Guo Fanghua stood up from her chair, glaring venomously at the adjacent pavilion.
As a fellow clan member, how dare Guo Gang incite the warriors of his lineage to land such vicious blows! It was beyond contempt.
When Guo Jie was brought to the pavilion, Guo Fanghua examined him and found that both his arms were broken and his internal organs had suffered varying degrees of damage.
Guo Feng’s strike had nearly crippled half of Guo Jie’s martial prowess.
What ruthless techniques!
This made the martial artists of Guo Xiao’s lineage grit their teeth in fury.
Guo Man cupped her delicate hands over her mouth, fearing she might scream.
This wasn’t the first time she’d seen infighting among clan members.
But it was the first time she’d witnessed blows as merciless as these.
After the incident unfolded, Great Elder Guo Gang remained silent, tacitly approving of what had happened!
"Despicable!"
Watching the triumphant Guo Feng, standing smugly on the duel stage, Xia Ye could not suppress his anger.
How could he bring himself to strike down his own kin?
Guo Jie had previously held back out of concern for injuring them, even dissipating thirty percent of his power into the air.
And yet, this was the price he had to pay in return—a heavy and tragic cost.
Xia Liu stared meaningfully at Guo Feng.
This man could be no older than twenty-eight. To achieve the Peak of the Mysterious Rank at such an age and then unleash such savage blows against his kin—what would he be like toward ordinary people?
"Hahaha! My lineage is extraordinary, simply extraordinary!"
Guo Gang stood on the pavilion platform, exposing his blackened teeth to the clan members below.
"Next up are the Earth-Rank warriors. Will the masters of the three veins please prepare to step onto the stage."
The announcement was made by a Heaven-Rank warrior, likely someone of Elder Level.
He appeared to sympathize somewhat with Guo Xiao’s lineage, but his abilities clearly didn’t permit him to intervene.
"Earth-Rank warriors possess higher levels of Inner Qi, and their duels are far more perilous. Who knows what those two lineages might do next!"
Xia Ye felt a growing unease.
He knew the warriors of his vein would not back down.
But within the lawless framework of the duels, the more relentless things became, the grimmer the outcomes.
There was no solution—once it had begun, it had to continue.
The battles between Earth-Rank warriors prompted the Guo family spectators near the stage to retreat further.
At this level, the pressure and martial arts skills unleashed would wield terrifying power.
Getting too close might lead to unforeseen dangers.
Fortunately, several of the Guo family’s Heaven-Rank warriors stood at the forefront, shielding others from harm.
However, the results of the Earth-Rank battles took Guo Xiao’s lineage by surprise.
Within less than ten minutes, the warrior representing Guo Xiao’s lineage was quickly knocked to the point of coughing blood and ultimately fell helplessly into the water.
The entire process of the duel left Guo Xiao’s lineage gritting their teeth in anger.
Given the lessons drawn from the Mysterious Rank conflicts earlier, the Earth-Rank warriors of Guo Gang’s and Guo Yan’s lineages were exceedingly cautious as soon as their duel began.
This may have also been due to combat experience.
In any case, Guo Xiao’s lineage gained no advantage whatsoever.
"This is outrageous! Why does such a brutal mixed-battle rule have to exist?"
Seeing two people ganging up on his uncle’s generation, Xia Ye and Guo Man endured bitter anguish.
It was like having broken teeth stuck in their mouths, forcing themselves to swallow every fragment.
They couldn’t voice even a single protest.
In the end, the Earth-Rank duel results were finalized: Guo Gang’s lineage took first place, Guo Yan second, and Guo Xiao third.
The results were the same as in previous years, except that this year’s tournament had a different nature.
Guo Xiao’s lineage faced one-versus-two battles throughout. How could they possibly win?
Perhaps it was because Guo Gang feared these rising talents.
But with the Great Elder of the family harboring such pettiness, how high could the Guo family aspire to rise in the future?
"The morning duels have concluded. The afternoon matches for Yellow-Rank and Body Refining warriors will commence. Please arrive on time."
Once the battles ended and the announcement was made, the crowd began to disperse, chatting fervently as they left.
Though some pitied Guo Xiao’s lineage, nobody dared speak up.
After all, the Guo family would soon revolve around Great Elder Guo Gang.
Unless Guo Xiao, who had vanished for over a decade, were to reappear, nothing could prevent the Guo family from transforming.
In the living quarters of Guo Xiao’s lineage, the sprawling premises, Guo Fanghua crouched on the ground, busy at work.
On the stretcher, Guo Jie and Guo Zhengfeng lay motionless, evidently having passed out from the pain.
"This is truly unforgivable! We’re all one family—how can they strike so cruelly!"
"Guo Feng is completely infuriating!"
"Uncle Zhengfeng is seriously injured too; they utterly disregard us as kin!"
…
Those who had been lively and vibrant just moments before now lay inert on stretchers, victims of the assaults from their own clan members.
The sheer indignation was intolerable.
If it were possible, they would have stormed over to Guo Gang’s and Guo Yan’s lineage quarters, channeling their Energy directly to confront the warriors responsible for such heavy-handed cruelty and show them the meaning of despair.
"Quiet down, everyone. Xiao Jie and Zhengfeng will recover in ten days or half a month. Mingfeng, retrieve a few pills from the Pill Room later..."
Once peace was restored, Guo Fanghua quickly gave instructions.
What excited Xia Liu, however, was that Guo Fanghua had mentioned the Pill Room! freeweɓnovel.cøm
And the girl known as Mingfeng, who seemed about seventeen or eighteen years old, looked elegant and graceful.
For such a young girl to know the location of the Pill Room...
It seemed pills were no secret within the Guo family.
Even Guo Man probably knew.
But Xia Liu could not inquire directly, so he would have to tread carefully and patiently.
"They’re such beasts, to even strike their own kin!"
Others promptly obeyed Guo Fanghua’s orders, but Guo Man wouldn’t listen.
She simply couldn’t swallow her fury; she had to vent.
"Little Man, don’t get too angry. Our Guo family has passed down the art of pill-making for generations, and the Great Elder is well aware of this. That’s why he didn’t oppose the martial combat."
Guo Fanghua, too, wanted to explode.
But as soon as she spoke out, Guo Gang would cut her off.
The Guo family had inherited the art of pill-making for generations. As long as one still breathed, recovery was assured.
This was why she begrudgingly accepted the mixed-battle rules.
No matter what, the warriors of Guo Xiao’s lineage would not perish from their injuries.
Since Guo Gang wanted to display his disgusting demeanor to the clan members, so be it—let everyone see it clearly.
"I understand, but what about the process? The pain they must endure surely exceeds what we can imagine."
Guo Man’s eyes brimmed with tears.
She couldn’t bear to witness her kin suffering severe injuries. All of this stemmed from the consensus among the Guo family’s peak figures, their unyielding rules...
