Chapter 16: The Medicine Family

  Shen Xiang stood on the Xianmo Cliff, he retracted his "Zhuque Fire Wings", to be able to transform true energy into wings requires a very high-level technique, and of course, the Zhuque Divine Technique he cultivated had such martial skills.

  Shen Xiang had just arrived at the top of Xianmo Ridge when he heard the sound of fighting coming from afar. Although they were separated by a great distance, Shen Xiang, who had entered the realm of spiritual awareness, could hear it clearly. He immediately flew over to investigate. If it was an ordinary fight, he would not have gone, but from the sounds of the battle, he could tell that the commotion was enormous and definitely not caused by ordinary warriors fighting.

  Shen Xiang flew over silently and arrived in a forest, where he saw two handsome young men fighting with five black-clothed men.

  Those two young men looked somewhat weak, but their strength was not ordinary. They could cope with the sharp knife methods of those five black-clad men, but their true energy was not thick enough. If they continued to consume it, they would surely be killed by those five black-clad men.

  "This seems to be the Xue family's illusory sword technique, which can use the illumination of light to create an illusion on the sword, making it difficult for the opponent to distinguish!" Shen Xiang had read many books on martial arts, so he could see through it at a glance.

  Knowing it was someone from the Xue family, Shen Xiang didn't stand idly by either. After all, Xue Xianxian was his fiancée, and the relationship between the Shen and Xue families wasn't bad.

  "Look out!"

  Shen Xiang let out a loud roar, his body transformed into a green rainbow as he flew away. His hand turned into a dragon claw and swiped at the head of a black-clad man. At the same time, he bellowed again, and a wave of green true energy shot out from his mouth, covering the black-clad man. As the green dragon roared out, Shen Xiang's dragon claw also grabbed towards the black-clad man's head, and in an instant, the black-clad man's head was crushed into powder!

  Such a powerful momentum stunned the four black-clothed men and two Xue family disciples, the kind of majestic Qinglong true energy filled them with terror. Of course, what shocked them the most was that martial arts, which they had never heard of before.

  Shen Xiang crushed the black-clad man's skull, and Longzhao immediately transformed his claws into fists, blasting towards another black-clad man. In the blink of an eye, he blasted out dozens of punches, with fist shadows like wind, whizzing past the stunned black-clad man. After pounding him, a series of explosive sounds were heard - this was the Brutal Slaughter Fist!

  The thick and powerful Shen Xiang's brutal killing fist was even more effortless, without worrying about consuming true energy, and the explosive power of each punch was extremely massive, difficult to resist, let alone him unleashing so many brutal killing fists in an instant.

  It was another brief moment, Shen Xiang defeated another black-clad man. At this time, the two Xue family youths had reacted and continued to attack with their swords.

  With Shen Xiang's addition, the black-clothed men retreated step by step and were soon severely injured, which was beyond their expectations.

  "Thank you for saving me, big brother." A slightly taller boy clasped his fists and said: "I'm Xue Ming, your younger brother."

  "Xue Zhiliang!" Another young man also clasped his fists and said: "Thanks to Big Brother Mo for coming to the rescue!"

  Shen Xiang was only sixteen years old, but he looked quite mature due to his tall and sturdy build.

  "No need to be polite, I'm Shen Xiang! The Shens and the Xues have been friends for generations, it's only natural." Shen Xiang also returned the courtesy, which moved Xu Ming and Xu Zhi Liang, they hadn't expected that it was actually Shen Xiang who had saved them.

  Shen Xiang was quite famous in the Xue family, because their precious daughter Xue Xianxian was Shen Xiang's fiancée. However, many of the Xue family's younger generation didn't think highly of Shen Xiang, as they all knew that he was a warrior without spiritual veins. But now, the strength Shen Xiang had displayed was truly astonishing.

  The news of Shen Jia Xuan's transformation into a monster had not been leaked out, so people outside still did not know that Shen Xiang had transformed into a "monster".

  "Are you really Shen Xiang?" Xue Ming found it hard to believe.

  Shen Xiang nodded and smiled: "Of course, you two must be here to attend our Shen family's banquet!"

  Xue Ming and Xue Zhiliang nodded, although they were full of doubts, but didn't ask anything else. After all, it was impolite to do so, especially since the other person had just saved them.

  "What's the origin of these men in black? Why did they want to assassinate the two?" Shen Xiang looked at the three heavily injured men in black on the ground.

  Xue Ming said: "They are assassins! I don't know what organization they belong to, but their strength is all at the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm. We encountered them once on our way here."

  Xue Ming and Xue Zhi Liang took the remaining three kills, nothing was found on them, nor did they intend to ask anything from their mouths, after all, these killers were specially trained, dead would not speak.

  "Shen Ge, you must have entered the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm! Otherwise, it would be impossible to easily kill those two black-clothed men!" Xue Ming recalled Shen Xiang's sudden charge earlier, instantly killing the two black-clothed men in a few moments, and couldn't help but feel a chill. At this moment, he looked at Shen Xiang with great respect, because Shen Xiang wasn't much older than them, but his strength far surpassed theirs.

  Shen Xiang smiled and nodded: "Just broke through!"

  Shen Xiang released the true energy fire to burn those corpses, which made Xue Ming and Xue Zhi Liang slightly surprised. The true energy fire was actually the flame for refining elixirs. It wasn't until now that they understood why Shen Xiang had the guts to accept the challenge of the genius pharmacist!

  Xue Zhiliang said with a face full of shame: "Shen big brother, I really didn't expect you to have been hiding your strength all along. Previously, I always looked down on you, please forgive me!"

  Shen Xiang shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, after all, this world is strength-oriented. By the way, will Xianxian come to attend the banquet?"

  Xue Ming smiled and said, "The competition between you and the genius of the Medicine Family was initiated by her. How could she not come? No wonder this little girl has a crush on Big Brother Shen and is full of confidence."

  Shen Xiang was speechless, he didn't think that Xue Xianxian would really let the genius of the Medicine Family come to challenge him, although he had indeed said so before, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

  Shen Xiang and Xue Ming, Xue Zhiliang chatted while walking towards Wohu City.

  "Shen big brother, that Medicine House's Tiancai is extremely cunning. Your strength may be strong, but he's the one who issued the challenge. He will definitely compete with you in alchemy, and his strength doesn't seem to be weak either. His strength has always been a mystery." Xue Ming said.

  Xue Zhiliang nodded and said, "I've seen that guy before, he's extremely arrogant. Last time he was invited to our Xue family, he looked at Xianxian with a lustful gaze, and didn't even bother to look at anyone else. However, his alchemy skills are excellent, so the clan leader and the elders tolerated him, which is why they want to arrange a marriage between Xianxian and that guy."

  Shen Xiang had long heard of the genius pharmacist, a proud and arrogant person who looked down on others, but many people thought this was to be expected, after all, he was a rare young alchemist.

  Just ahead was the bustling Wohu City, and Shen Xiang and Xue Ming suddenly saw a team of horses and carriages slowly heading towards Wohu City in the distance. The scene was grand, with five luxurious horse-drawn carriages, each pulled by eight fine horses, and at the front and back of the procession were some burly men riding fine horses, looking majestic and exuding an aura of murder, clearly visible as guards.

  "It's the people from the Medicine House, and they're indeed extraordinary!" Shen Xiang said, because he saw a big "medicine" character on the carriage, and the luxurious clothes of the guards also had the word "medicine", which was consistent with the high-profile style of the Medicine House.

  "Those three over there, report your names quickly! Otherwise we'll treat you as assassins." A stern shout suddenly came from the convoy.

  This made Shen Xiang and Xue Ming feel a sense of discomfort in their hearts, just as they were about to respond. A long sword shot out like an arrow, breaking through the air with a thick aura attached to it, flying straight at Shen Xiang.
