Reborn Medicine King

1Nan Xing looked again, and Jiang Fann's figure had vanished without a trace, so much so that he couldn't even sense his presence anymore. The black wolf, though unsure of what had just happened, remained unaffected and even heard Jiang Fann's voice in his mind.    

    

"Black Dog, don't hesitate. That guy's yours. I'll distract him for you. Go all out; you won't be able to take him down otherwise..."    

    

Despite wanting to argue with Jiang Fann, he knew there was no time to waste and understood that this was his chance to prove his worth to his master.    

    

The massive figure charged directly at Nan Xing, whose reaction seemed half a beat too slow. Even the black wolf was surprised that he was almost upon him before Nan Xing realized it.    

    

Just as Nan Xing was about to rush at the black wolf, he suddenly sensed a wave of intense heat from the side. The next moment, he was sent flying sideways.    

    

The black wolf stared in shock at the scene ahead. Jiang Fann had appeared where Nan Xing had been standing, his entire body glowing red, a grin playing on his lips, clearly exhilarated.    

    

Nan Xing had been sent flying by a single punch from Jiang Fann, unable to react or dodge in any way. He landed over thirty feet away, his face scorched as if burned by flames, leaving him dazed and utterly astonished.    

    

But as he got up from the ground, rage consumed him, and his full fury was unleashed.    

    

He never imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that he would be struck by a practitioner at the Dao Understanding Stage, and even injured. Although it wasn't severe, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.    

    

He and the black wolf spoke almost simultaneously.    

    

"Domain!"    

    

"Domain?"    

    

Jiang Fann looked at the black wolf. "Big black dog, what are you waiting for? Go get him! I'm no match for him, but I can at least keep him busy here."    

    

With that, he took out the imperial-grade spiritual treasure he had before. Activating the Great Arts of Five Elements, the power of the immortal gold surged through him, and Jiang Fann's aura rose once more.    

    

Earlier, it was just a test. He wanted to know what level of combat power he could achieve without relying on external items. After all, this was his first real battle since reaching the ninth level of the Dao Understanding Stage, and his opponent was incredibly strong.    

    

In the past, he might have been able to injure the opponent with the God-Slaying Blade, but getting close was never easy. This time, however, his speed surprised even himself.    

    

Nan Xing, being a master at the Reincarnation Stage, understood what a domain was. Although he was shocked that Jiang Fann, a practitioner at the Dao Understanding Stage, could wield such a technique, his superior cultivation allowed him to concentrate fully, reducing the domain's effect on him. Nevertheless, his reactions were indeed affected.    

    

Seeing the black wolf charging at him, he dodged first, then summoned his own spiritual treasure. He didn't know where this opponent had come from, but he had no reason to back down.    

    

His spiritual energy unleashed, vines emerged around him, reaching out to ensnare the black wolf, emanating a powerful aura of life—clearly a manifestation of his unique bloodline power.    

    

As the black wolf advanced, thunder rumbled, and a series of electric flashes shattered the vines, bringing it face-to-face with its opponent in an instant.    

    

From the rear, Xing Tianyong was caught off guard, realizing the situation had spiraled beyond his expectations. The moment the black wolf appeared, he sensed trouble, quickly retrieving a piece of spirit-attached jade and infusing it with his spiritual sense, his expression turning grave.    

    

Things were slipping from his control.    

    

His subordinates, who were at the Mortal Separating Stage, were now closing in on Wan Chengfeng and Fang Xiang. Jiang Fann's earlier display of combat prowess far surpassed his men, but the two were momentarily held up by Nan Xing's command, providing them a golden opportunity.    

    

Capturing these two would surely force Jiang Fann to surrender.    

    

Yet, as they approached, Wan Chengfeng, who had been suppressing his power, suddenly flickered and vanished without a trace.    

    

Meanwhile, beneath Fang Xiang's feet, a formation appeared, erecting a spiritual energy barrier. Several approaching cultivators were blocked, their attacks unable to breach it after multiple attempts.    

    

Standing within the formation, Fang Xiang calmly observed the outside cultivators, showing no sign of anxiety. He sensed that their senses and strength were significantly impaired by Jiang Fann's domain, likely unable to exert even eighty percent of their full power.    

    

The formation beneath their feet was the same one Jiang Fann had them get used to earlier. Although it wasn't large, its design was incredibly clever. In its current state, powered by Fang Xiang's own spiritual strength, it was impenetrable to anyone with a similar level of cultivation unless their power far exceeded his.    

    

Currently, Fang Xiang had reached the fifth level of the Mortal Separating Stage, a level that Xingtian Yong and his crew clearly couldn't match.    

    

As Black Wolf and Nan Xing clashed, Jiang Fann would occasionally strike, much to Nan Xing's frustration. With Black Wolf keeping him occupied, Nan Xing couldn't do anything about Jiang Fann, nor could he pinpoint his exact location. Jiang Fann's movements were unpredictable and elusive, a hallmark of the Chapter of Body Arts.    

    

Watching the struggle against Fang Xiang, Xingtian Yong's eyes flickered with disbelief. "Did I sense it wrong? How is Fang Xiang's level so high?"    

    

The cultivator next to him replied, "You didn't sense it wrong. After disappearing for a year, he's already reached the fifth level of the Mortal Separating Stage. Before he vanished, wasn't he just at the ninth level of the Dao Understanding Stage?"    

    

"How did he advance so much in just a year? What on earth did he do?"    

    

The cultivator's expression turned serious. "Sir, more than Fang Xiang, I'm curious about that guy Jiang Fann. What's with his combat strength?"    

    

Xing Tianyong suddenly realized he knew nothing about Jiang Fann, not a single thing. This chapter isn't over yet—click to the next page for more exciting content!    

    

Over the past year, through his investigations, he learned that Jiang Fann was top-tier among his peers in terms of combat ability. Previously, in the secret realm, Jiang Fann was an unstoppable force, but that was only among peer cultivators. It was because of this investigation that he captured Hong Yifeng. But how could he have known that Jiang Fann's combat power had vaguely reached the Reincarnation Stage, which didn't match his actual level at all?    

    

No wonder Jiang Fann never took him seriously.    

    

As he hesitated, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.    

    

"You've noticed those two, but how could you forget about me?"    

    

Xing Tianyong and his companion were shocked. They knew exactly who was speaking—it was Wan Chengfeng, who had silently appeared behind them.    

    

Without a second thought, the cultivator beside Xing Tianyong turned and threw a punch at Wan Chengfeng, channeling all his spiritual strength into the blow, holding nothing back.    

    

He was at the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage, so even when facing Wan Chengfeng, he felt no fear. Yet, the punch landed squarely on Wan Chengfeng, who stood unmoved, looking at him with disdain and a playful glint in his eyes.    

    

"You..."    

    

He stared at Wan Chengfeng in shock, his eyes trembling with disbelief.    

    

Before he could speak, Wan Chengfeng's aura fully activated, and he grabbed the other man's neck, lifting him off the ground.    

    

Even a cultivator at the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage was powerless against someone at the Reincarnation Stage, a gap insurmountable for ordinary people.    

    

Wan Chengfeng's voice was cold, "Was it you who injured my brother, Hong?"    

    

Xing Tianyong looked at Wan Chengfeng in fear. This peer, a top-tier talent who had seemingly wasted two hundred years, had unexpectedly reached the Reincarnation Stage today.    

    

Among their peers, those who reached the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage were rare, and his achievement was terrifying.    

    

"You actually broke through!"    

    

Wan Chengfeng couldn't be bothered with him, unleashing a powerful spiritual force that pushed him back several steps.    

    

The cultivator caught by Wan Chengfeng struggled, launching several attacks at him. Despite the series of explosions, Wan Chengfeng remained unmoved, maintaining his stance. Then, he swung his fist, landing a punch squarely on the man's face.    

    

The cultivator's teeth were knocked out entirely, his nose broken, blood streaming down.    

    

"If my brother Hong's injuries are severe, I'll make sure yours are just as bad. That's only fair!"    

    

Wan Chengfeng's approach was straightforward and brutal, delivering a slap that left the cultivator half-dead, his head swollen like a pig's.    

    

Xing Tianyong hesitated to confront Wan Chengfeng directly. Back in their training days, Wan Chengfeng was notorious for not showing respect to anyone. Princes from various kingdoms had all faced his wrath at some point.    

    

Despite being a prince himself, Xing Tianyong couldn't help but speak up, "Let him go."    

    

Wan Chengfeng paused, turning to face Xing Tianyong. "What? Are you going to take his place, or should I call Elder Brother Jiang to stand in for me?"    

    

Xing Tianyong replied, "This is a personal matter between me and those two. The one causing you trouble is Li Xingchen from the Zhongtian Kingdom. Why are you coming after me?"    

    

"They're my friends. When they rescued me, Brother Hong was there too, and you call this a personal matter?"    

    

Xing Tianyong was at a loss. He had heard that Wan Chengfeng had lost his chance to advance further, so he had dismissed him as a threat. Who would have thought that after a year, Wan Chengfeng would not only break through but also possess such formidable strength? Now, he didn't even have a chance to explain.    

    

Wan Chengfeng tossed the injured cultivator to the ground and helped Hong Yifeng up. Glancing at Xing Tianyong in the distance, he asked Hong Yifeng, "Brother Hong, was Xing Tianyong among those who attacked you? Just nod, and I'll stand up for you today."    

    

Hong Yifeng was overwhelmed with emotion. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. When Jiang Fann appeared, he had felt a sense of despair, but the situation had quickly turned in his favor.    

    

However, he wasn't brave enough to offend Xingtian Yong right now. He knew the consequences all too well and didn't have the courage of Wan Chengfeng.    

    

He weakly said, "Brother Wan, let's just drop it. I just want this matter to be over."    

    

Wan Chengfeng, hearing this, replied directly, "So, there was a fight? I'll help you get even!"    

    

Hong Yifeng: "..."    

    

Xingtian Yong: "..."    

    

Just as Wan Chengfeng was about to make a move, a massive explosion erupted from behind them.    

    

Jiang Fann's formation shook violently, nearly breached by the attack.    

    

From a distance, Jiang Fann, who was besieging Nan Xing, had to stop and look toward the source of the attack. He understood the power behind it. Inside the formation, Lin Zhan and Xiao Ai quickly hid within a smaller formation and sent a message to Jiang Fann.    

    

"Ninth level of the Reincarnation Realm!"
