The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 966 - Chapter 966 Chapter 966 Battling with Magic

Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Battling with Magic! Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Battling with Magic! The state displayed by the members of the Yan Family plunged the entire reception into profound silence!

Everyone doubted whether this scene before their eyes was but a dream!

You must know, the Yan Family is a great family with a thousand years of heritage, and also a deeply entrenched ancient martial arts family. The family has produced several experts.

In ancient times, the Yan Family would have been considered a household brimming with military talent!

A Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts, capable of running on walls, releasing True Qi externally, killing enemies from a distance, and to a certain extent withstanding the impact of firearms, was akin to an army of thousands! However, in modern society, the significance of ancient martial arts Great Grandmasters has somewhat diminished. But they are still considered at the top of the food chain!

Although the Wang Family tends to vie with the Yan Family for the spotlight from time to time, they would never dare to truly offend the Yan Family! Otherwise, just sending out a few Great Grandmasters could throw the Wang Family into disarray.

And now, from the Clan Leader to the common members, all of the Yan Family were bowing in respect to an apparently ordinary youth, which was indeed puzzling.

“Heh~~~” Huang Xiaolong expressed extreme indifference, calmly accepting the Yan Family members’ bows with a smile. “I haven’t had dinner and came to scrounge a meal, you guys don’t mind, right?”

“No~~ no~~” the members of the Yan Family said in a trembling voice. “Young Master Huang, your presence really brings honor to our entire Yan Family~~”

At this moment, the Clan Leader of the Wang Family, accompanied by the high-level members of his family, approached Huang Xiaolong with a friendly smile on his face.

No matter what, the members of the Yan Family wouldn’t be staging a play, so the identity of this young man must be extraordinary. The Wang Family maintained an attitude of befriending him, not daring to offend him in the slightest.

“This gentleman, your presence is indeed a great honor that brightens our Wang Family,” said the Clan Leader of the Wang Family with a warm smile. He then turned to the Clan Leader of the Yan Family. “Brother Yan, that’s not quite right of you. Since we have an honored guest, why didn’t you inform me beforehand? Look, I fear we may have treated the gentleman poorly and caused displeasure in his heart.”

After a pause, the Clan Leader of the Wang Family couldn’t hold back his curiosity. “Brother Yan, who exactly is this young master?”

“Hehe~~” The Clan Leader of the Yan Family’s face was flushed with delight, his expression one of pleasant surprise. However, he dared not reveal Huang Xiaolong’s details readily, simply saying offhand, “In the realm of ancient martial arts, we in the entire Yan Family sincerely admire and revere Young Master Huang~~”

Upon hearing this, the people of the Wang Family suddenly understood.

‘Indeed, a genius in the field of ancient martial arts~~’ The Clan Leader of the Wang Family took another look at Huang Xiaolong and nodded slightly, but his heart relaxed a great deal.

A Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts?

Given the powers wielded by the Wang Family, they wouldn’t offend any Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts, but they wouldn’t be too fearful either.

After all, it’s a modern society, a society governed by law; however capable a person is at fighting, they’re still subject to some constraints.

In this era of flourishing technology, the role of ancient martial arts has indeed weakened considerably. For instance, the Yan Family has many Great Grandmasters of ancient martial arts, but the vast majority have integrated into modern life and would not easily take action.

‘This youth probably doesn’t have any remarkable background, perhaps he’s from one of those reclusive ancient martial arts families spoken of in legends…heh, and I thought the Yan Family had invited some special character…today’s spotlight still belongs to the magicians the Wang Family has hired from overseas. Although ancient martial arts are powerful, they’ve become somewhat outdated compared to spells.’ The members of the Wang Family were very certain in their minds.

After witnessing the abilities of a few magicians from overseas, the Wang Family prioritized spells over ancient martial arts, and by a significant margin at that.

To the Clan Leader of the Wang Family, spells were like rocket launchers, even missiles, whereas ancient martial arts were akin to regular firearms.

“Sir, tonight’s reception is a casual affair, heh heh, please feel free, please feel free,” said the members of the Wang Family with good-natured laughter.

Immediately, some Yan Family members, exceedingly attentive, brought over several plates and respectfully handed them to Huang Xiaolong and Ma Chuxia, among others.

Huang Xiaolong was already a bit hungry, so he didn’t stand on ceremony and picked up his plate to find something to eat.

The Yan Family Clan Leader personally accompanied Huang Xiaolong, nodding and bowing. “Young Master Huang, do you have a place to stay in Beijing?”

While eating, Huang Xiaolong casually replied, “Not yet.”

The Yan Family Clan Leader was overjoyed. “Well… if Young Master Huang doesn’t mind, you can… can stay at my humble residence for a few days… hehehe~~ That really would be a blessing for our Yan Family… Young Master Huang, how has Pianpian been these days?”

The Yan Family Clan Leader was also an old fox who was now subtly trying to curry favor with Huang Xiaolong.

Pianpian was Huang Xiaolong’s wife, so strictly speaking, Huang Xiaolong could also be considered a son-in-law of the Yan Family!

Perhaps because he loved the house and its crow, Huang Xiaolong was fairly polite to the members of the Yan Family, he chuckled and said, “No need. I still have things to do. Important things.”

“Ah! You say important matters?” The Yan Family Clan Leader was deeply moved.

Given Huang Xiaolong’s profound abilities, if he said something was important, it certainly would be anything but trivial!

“Hmm, there are some ghosts from Dongying Island that I’m going to take care of personally,” Huang Xiaolong said with a laugh, his tone light and breezy.

“Sss!! Creatures from Dongying Island?” The Yan Family Clan Leader was immediately filled with a sense of shared enmity, his voice trembling. “Young Master Huang, this is indeed a serious matter, in that case, if Young Master Huang needs assistance, just say the word. Our Yan Family can mobilize hundreds, all elite.”

“Hahahaha~~ You think this is a war?” Huang Xiaolong said incredulously.

Elsewhere.

The three foreign magicians, however, had been keeping an unblinking eye on Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Heimei.

Their gaze was very eager and even filled with greed.

“Fellow brothers, those three ladies have a faint demonic aura about them!” one of the foreign magicians said with a trembling voice. “Unless we’re mistaken, they must be demons!”

“Yes, demons!” another foreign magician said eagerly. “And they’ve transformed into human form… tsk tsk, such creatures are rare even in the vast overseas regions.”

“What’s even rarer is that these three demons are so beautiful and charming… truly enchanting!” Yet another foreign magician, eyes glued to Qingqing, his gaze almost pressing against her. “They’re not using any illusion spell, they really are that beautiful~~ Excellent! Excellent! What luck we have! Three demons, just right for the three of us brothers! No fighting over them, that one is mine!” He pointed at Qingqing.

“We cultivators, what beauty have we not laid our hands on? It’s just that the women of the mundane world lack some spiritual energy. Even if they cultivate ancient martial arts and become Grandmasters, they’re only passable. It’s the women who cultivate the Dao, and the beautiful female demons, who are really flavorful… For instance, these female demons have long lifespans, hardly age, and are hundreds of times stronger than mundane women!” A foreign magician sighed repeatedly.

At that moment, the Wang Family Clan Leader walked over inconspicuously, his voice low. “Gentlemen, today, the Yan Family has invited a capable person over~~”

With that, the Wang Family Clan Leader glanced surreptitiously at Huang Xiaolong. “In the previous gatherings, you gentlemen showed great prowess, thoroughly humiliating the half-baked Taoists invited by the Yan Family. I reckon that the Yan Family wouldn’t swallow the insult quietly, and sure enough, they’ve invited a young ancient martial Grandmaster over today, determined to regain some dignity. Hehehe, gentlemen, tonight, it’s all up to you.”

“Hahahaha~~~” A foreign magician laughed heartily. “No problem. Cultivating ancient martial arts is inferior, no matter how strong a Grandmaster is, they are no match for magic.”

Pausing a moment, this foreign magician glanced sideways at Huang Xiaolong with ill intent and flicked his fingernail. “Let me put it this way, no matter how strong their martial skills are, when facing a magician, it’s a death sentence. We cultivators, with a single release of our flying sword, can take a person’s head from a thousand miles away!”

This statement was made with swagger, and even the Wang Family Clan Leader couldn’t help but shiver, his voice trembling. “Are there truly immortals who cultivate flying swords in this world?”

“Hahahaha~~” The three foreign magicians let out mocking laughter.

“Wang Family Clan Leader, with your knowledge, there are many things you don’t know. All I can say is, there’s so much in this world beyond your imagination, too many to count. Hahaha~~~ We magicians, having long resided overseas, never meddling in the Central Plains, only upon arriving here did we discover that in our vast Huaxia, I don’t know how many spells have already been lost, truly a pity. Hmph! Riding a flying sword, what’s that? Indestructible bodies, Solar Spirits, Heavenly Immortals, Universal Embodiments… Do you know of these?” An overseas magician looked at the Wang Family Clan Leader as if he were looking at an ant.

The Wang Family Clan Leader was so awestruck that he nodded continuously, hurriedly flattered them. “Gentlemen, you truly are like immortals on earth~~~”

After three rounds of drinks!

The Wang Family Clan Leader laughed heartily. “Alright, gentlemen, the night grows late, but we have still invited our Wang Family’s three Guest Elders to perform a magical display. Hahahaha~~~ Surely, everyone has been looking forward to this, right?”

While speaking, the Wang Family Clan Leader did not forget to glance at the Yan Family Clan Leader.

The members of the Yan Family were somewhat indignant.

To call it a spell demonstration was nothing more than a slap in the face!

However, today, the people of the Yan Family were not necessarily cowed!

All members of the Yan Family turned their hopeful gazes towards Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong set down his plate.

“Hahaha~~~ Brother Yan, the last few times you invited Taoists to compete with our Wang Family’s three Guest Elders. This time… I wonder if you have made any arrangements?” The Wang Family Clan Leader said, with a slightly provocative tone.

“Hmph!” The Yan Family Clan Leader snorted in dissatisfaction.

“Brother Yan, I must say, the Taoists you have invited in the past… were truly somewhat lacking,” said the Wang Family Clan Leader with an air of superiority.

The Yan Family Clan Leader didn’t say anything but subconsciously looked towards Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong took a napkin from Ma Chuxia, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and belched, “Ah… is it finally time for a magical duel? Good, I’ve had my fill too, and I was just looking for some fun.”

Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong was willing to step forward, everyone from the Yan Family heaved a sigh of relief.

“This gentleman, that… We are here to appreciate spells, not ancient martial arts,” the Wang Family Clan Leader said with a smile towards Huang Xiaolong, his grin carrying a mocking undertone.

“I know,” Huang Xiaolong replied cheerfully. “I also know some spells. Anyway, they should be more than enough to deal with mere minions.”

“Hmph!!!!!” An icy snort came through.

In an instant, the temperature in the area seemed to drop several degrees.

The three overseas magicians had stepped forward, looking at Huang Xiaolong with brooding faces.

“Boy, are you suggesting we are mere minions?” One of the overseas magicians asked, staring fiercely at Huang Xiaolong, his eyes flashing unabashedly with killing intent.

These three magicians, accustomed to living freely overseas, and in a magician’s world where the strong are respected, they fully embodied the law of the jungle with the strong preying upon the weak.

According to their temperament in the past, they would have drawn their swords and killed Huang Xiaolong for his offensive words, but now that they were in the Central Plains, when in Rome, they had somewhat restrained themselves.

“What, are you actually considering murder?” The Yan Family Clan Leader’s True Qi boiled with anger.

“Hahaha~~~ Those who cultivate ancient martial arts are mere brutes! What’s the point of putting on airs in front of us? Stand down!” One of the overseas magicians spoke defiantly.

Huang Xiaolong gestured with his hand, signaling his people to stay calm.

“Talk is cheap,” Huang Xiaolong squinted his eyes slightly. “Let’s just have a try.”

“This little one, these three…” An overseas magician glanced towards Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Heimei, and sneered with interest, “How about this? Today we stoop to lower ourselves to compete with you in spells. But in our world of overseas magicians, a magical duel requires stakes. If you lose, you will give us these three girls.”

“Outrageous!” Xiaohong showed her teeth fiercely.

Heimei was visibly steaming with resentment.

Qingqing’s demeanor was cold as ice.

“Hahaha~~~ So that was your plan all along…” Huang Xiaolong laughed wryly. “Right. Having stakes does make it more interesting. But what if you lose?”

Hahahahaha~~~ Hahahahaha~~~!

The three overseas magicians laughed heartily, as if they had heard the world’s funniest joke.

“A magical duel? Us losing to you? Hahahahaha~~~~” One of the overseas magicians laughed until tears nearly formed in his eyes, “Alright, you tell me, what do you want from us if we lose?”

“Let’s do it this way; if I win against you, you three… leave behind your right hands and then never show your faces around me again. How about that?” Huang Xiaolong said with an innocuous smile.

“Leave behind our right hands?” The three overseas magicians’ killing intent surged.

Then, they greedily glanced at Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Heimei.

“Alright! It’s a deal! Junior, you name the terms of the competition,” one of the overseas magicians haughtily said.

“Let’s do it this way; I’ll fight all three of you alone. Whether you come at me one by one or all together, it’s up to you,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled lightly. “After all, I’m bound to win anyway, so it doesn’t really matter to me.”

Hahahahaha~~~!

The three overseas magicians roared with laughter out of sheer rage.

Although they weren’t particularly prominent figures in the overseas magician world, upon arriving in the Central Plains, they considered themselves invincible and did not take the local Taoists and magicians seriously at all.

Now Huang Xiaolong, a young greenhorn, was actually declaring that he would fight all three of them alone; it was utterly ridiculous!

“Fine, you crazy little brat; since you’re delusional, we three brothers will indulge you!” One of the overseas magicians sneered. “We will each display a minor trick, and if you can do better than us, then naturally you win!”

With that said, the Wang Family and Yan Family both stepped aside, clearing a large space for Huang Xiaolong and the three overseas magicians.

“You go first, so that I can also behold the spells of overseas magicians,” Huang Xiaolong remarked with a teasing smile.
