Strongest Medical Saint

Time ticked by, second by second.

The construction workers on the mountain were forced down one by one by men clad in black, who wielded guns that could claim lives; naturally, the workers dared not resist.

Xu Dong and Fatty Qian were among the crowd.

Fatty Qian had used his Life-saving Jade Amulet, while Xu Dong had the same idea as Wang Anxiong.

At a critical moment, Xu Dong secretly gave his Life-saving Jade Amulet to Wang Daniu, and informed him of its function.

After all, Wang Daniu didn't attract attention mixed among the workers.

Xie Yuansan knew about Xu Dong and Fatty Qian; not seeing Shen Feng in the crowd, he frowned and asked, "Where's that charlatan?"

An apparent leader among the men in black answered, "Third Brother, we did not find any trace of the charlatan on the mountain. A thick fog rolled in from the east side of the mountain, and before our brothers could get close, they felt dizzy and swollen in the head. We dared not approach the east side of the mountain."

Xie Yuansan fell silent for a moment, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and considered that reaching the Jade Mansion Hotel would take some time. He couldn't keep the powerful families waiting for too long. Bringing Wang Anxiong and the others there was the priority.

Xie Yuansan said, "Leave sixteen men here; the rest come with me to the Jade Mansion Hotel."

"Those staying, listen well. If you find any trace of that charlatan, bring him to the Jade Mansion Hotel immediately."

As Xie Yuansan spoke, Xu Dong moved closer to Wang Anxiong and let out a very low voice, repeating the details about giving the Jade Token to Wang Daniu.

Right now, it was impossible for them to shake off these people. Their only hope was to wait for a large number of them to leave.

They would surely be taken away, so their hope had to be placed on Wang Daniu. If Wang Anxiong also gave his Life-saving Jade Amulet to Wang Daniu,

then Wang Daniu would have two Life-saving Jade Amulets. With his knowledge of Nine Dragons Mountain's terrain, he should be safe. Relying on the amulets, he could surely elude the few people left behind.

Wang Anxiong suddenly cursed at Xie Yuansan, "You ungrateful bastard, you will pay for your deeds sooner or later."

"What comes around goes around; you're definitely not going to die a good death!"

Amidst his words, Wang Anxiong charged towards Xie Yuansan.

Wang Anxiong deliberately slowed his movements, letting Xie Yuansan's fist hit him in the stomach. With the momentum, he stumbled among the construction workers, and while no one noticed, he passed his Life-saving Jade Amulet to Wang Daniu.

"Wang Anxiong, you still have value to us. If you die by my hand, I won't be able to explain myself to the powerful families."

"Look at you now; weren't you skilled back in the day?"

Xie Yuansan triumphantly stepped on Wang Anxiong's back.

Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang could only watch, powerless to turn the tide with their own strength.

Not wanting to waste time here, Xie Yuansan pointed at Wang Anxiong, Fatty Qian, and Xu Dong in turn, and ordered, "Take these three men. The rest of you, keep a tight watch. If anyone tries to leave, shoot them on the spot."

Wang Anxiong was helped up by Xu Dong and Fatty Qian. They no longer thought of resisting. A shootout here could harm the innocent workers.

Xie Yuansan didn't take Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang with him. After all, he knew they were somewhat influential. As long as they stayed put and didn't wander, they could leave unharmed in the end.

After Xie Yuansan took Wang Anxiong, Fatty Qian, and Xu Dong away, a bunch of the men in black left with him.

Now only sixteen gunmen in black remained, their gaze cold as they watched everyone in front of them.

One of the gunmen with a flat nose and a scorpion tattoo on the left side of his face seemed to be the leader of the remaining men.

Wang Daniu, who was mixed among the construction workers, clutched the two Life-saving Jade Amulets in his pocket tightly. He involuntarily swallowed, thinking to himself, "I must find my Benefactor. I must break free."

Feigning a tremble, Wang Daniu stepped out from the crowd and stammered, "I–I have a stomachache, I can't hold it in anymore."

The man with the flat nose glanced at the earthy-looking Wang Daniu and waved his hand in annoyance, "Go to the bushes over there but stay within my line of sight. Otherwise, be careful not to get your head blown off."

Wang Daniu repeatedly nodded, "I understand, I do."

He jogged to the nearby bushes, pulled down his pants, and relieved himself.

At first, the man with a flat nose and several men in black were watching Wang Daniu.

But suddenly, they heard the sound of "Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" of farting coming from behind Wang Daniu which disgusted them, so they turned their heads away and stopped looking at him.

In the instant that the flat-nosed man and his companions turned their heads,

they saw Wang Daniu pull up his pants and dash toward Nine Dragons Mountain, and by the time the flat-nosed man noticed, Wang Daniu had already run a good distance away.

The flat-nosed man and his cohorts immediately aimed their guns at Wang Daniu.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!—"

Bullets flew toward Wang Daniu, and just when they were about to hit him, he was suddenly enveloped in a layer of green light, which prevented the bullets from advancing any further upon contact.

This unexpected turn of events caused the flat-nosed man and his group to momentarily freeze.

Seizing the opportunity, Cai Zhi used all his strength to run toward another direction of Nine Dragons Mountain; he absolutely would not sit and wait for death.

Cai Heguang hadn't expected his uncle to suddenly make a move, and he could only start running along with him.

The flat-nosed man also hadn't anticipated Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang's attempt to escape, and the situation quickly went out of control. Wang Daniu had already disappeared from sight.

The flat-nosed man fired his gun at Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang repeatedly.

The sound of "Bang! Bang! Bang!" gunfire was incessant.

Using the surrounding objects for cover, Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang dashed into the woods and ran toward Nine Dragons Mountain.

The flat-nosed man's face turned very ugly, and the remaining construction workers seemed eager to try escaping. He fired two shots into the sky and shouted, "Whoever wants to die, just try running, and we'll see if your legs are faster or our bullets are!"

Seeing the construction workers trembling and huddled together, the flat-nosed man ordered three men in black, "Go in that direction and find them. Once found, kill them on the spot."

He pointed in the direction where Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang had fled.

Afterward, he said to another two men in black, "We will head this way, the rest stay here and watch."

The remaining ten or so men in black aimed their guns at the construction workers.

There were many construction workers, but none of them wanted to be the first to rebel; knowing the one who sticks their neck out gets cut first, they all chose to shrink back.

Meanwhile,

inside the One-Star Spirit Mine,

a smile appeared on Shen Feng's lips, as he had subdued the queen of the Ghost Insects, and he clearly felt that he could control all the Ghost Insects at will with his mind now.

With a thought in his mind,

the fist-sized spherical Ghost Insect nest in his hand started to rapidly shrink, eventually becoming as small as a bead.

Having subdued the queen of the Ghost Insects, this nest naturally fell under his control as well.

It was a pity that he could only control the size of the nest and still could not change the spatial structure within it.

Shen Feng manipulated the dense swarm of Ghost Insects to reabsorb the white mist they had emitted back into their bodies.

He then walked out from beneath the excavated ground.
