I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 48: Lu Jiahe Is Injured!

The speaker was a tall, burly man wearing coarse black cloth clothing, his face as black as coal, with muscles bulging on his strong arms.

The burly man looked at the few strong men beside him with fierce eyes, and said viciously.

"Mr. Jia said that whoever kills Lu Jiahe will not only receive a reward of three thousand silvers but also be assured peace and prosperity for life!"

After the burly man finished speaking, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, even he showed such expressions.

Not to mention the others, who were all extremely excited.

"Let’s go, remember, we only have one chance, that old man Lu Jiahe has a lot of guards around him."

After saying this, the burly man concealed his ferocity and led the men behind him into the Lu Family Pharmacy.

Jia Sheng’s only way to quickly bring down the Lu Family Pharmacy was to deal with this old man, Lu Jiahe.

Lu Jiahe, the old man, had excellent medical skills, high moral standards, and many social connections, serving as the most important pillar of the Lu Family Pharmacy.

As long as Lu Jiahe dies, there will be no one in the Lu Family to support the mainstay of the family.

As the arch-rival of the Jia Family Pharmacy, no one knew the situation of the Lu Family better than Jia Sheng.

Under Lu Jiahe, there were three sons and one daughter, the daughter, Lu Qingqing, was already married to Dengfeng County, adjacent to Qingyun County, a year ago!

And the three sons!

The eldest son, the legitimate heir of the Lu Family, Lu Xuan, is a martial arts fanatic, staying at home all day, practicing martial arts diligently for ten years, without much contact with the outside world.

As for the so-called young heir of the Lu Family, Lu Xuan, Jia Sheng just sneered at him, not taking him seriously.

Just a crude martial artist, what martial realm could a young lad in his twenties achieve through hard cultivation?

A Martial Artist of the Skin Refining Realm? A Martial Artist of the Flesh Refining Realm?

Or a Martial Artist of the Bone Refining Realm?

Even if Lu Xuan achieved the Bone Refining Realm, so what?

In Jia Sheng’s eyes, at most, a Martial Artist of the Bone Refining Realm only warranted an extra glance.

In the entire Qingyun County, any Martial Artist of the Bone Refining Realm who saw him would have to respectfully call him Mr. Jia.

What concerned Jia Sheng more were Lu Xuan’s two half-brothers.

Lu Yunqing! Lu Yun’an!

These two always accompanied Lu Jiahe and were regarded as the heirs to the Lu Family’s medical skills, the future masters of the Lu Family Pharmacy.

However, now those two young lads of the Lu Family are still too inexperienced, having only learned a small part of Lu Jiahe’s medical skills, not enough to support the mainstay of the Lu Family Pharmacy.

Therefore, if Lu Jiahe dies, the Lu Family Pharmacy will collapse and completely fall into decline.

Just after the burly man stepped into the Lu Family Pharmacy, a very young-looking pharmacy apprentice at the counter saw them and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Gentlemen, are you here for a consultation or to purchase medicine?"

"Consultation!"

The leading burly man unabashedly replied to the pharmacy apprentice.

"Oh, then please follow me, gentlemen."

The pharmacy apprentice led them to the back hall of the pharmacy.

As they stepped into the back hall, a strong medicine aroma wafted by; the back hall appeared very spacious, capable of accommodating over a hundred people. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

In the back hall, there were already many people lined up in five or six rows, in front of which stood five large wooden tables.

In front of the five large wooden tables sat five men, appearing to be in their forties or fifties.

Beside each man, there were a few young lads assisting.

"Gentlemen, there are the doctors of the Lu Family Pharmacy."

Having led them here, the pharmacy apprentice was about to leave and return to his original position.

Suddenly, as the pharmacy apprentice was about to turn away, he was immediately grabbed by two massive hands, lifting him into the air.

It was done by the leading burly man, who exerted force with his hands, bringing the young pharmacy apprentice before him.

"What do you mean, kid? Are you looking down on me?"

"Only your shopkeeper can treat my illness, take me to see your shopkeeper now!"

After the burly man finished speaking fiercely, he loosened his hand, and the pharmacy apprentice fell to the ground.

This commotion caught the attention of the Lu Family Pharmacy’s guards, who rushed in from the doorway.

The head pharmacy guard was precisely Li Mingzhong, a martial artist who had achieved mastery in the Flesh Refining Realm.

Li Mingzhong frowned, glanced at the floor, then at the fierce-looking men before him, already understanding what had happened.

"Hey, who are you guys? This is the Lu Family Pharmacy,

how dare you come here to cause trouble?"

"Who said we’re causing trouble? Your Lu Family Pharmacy has quite the airs, looking down on us brothers, and dealing with us through quack doctors."

The leading burly man sneered, mocking without scruples.

"I said only your shopkeeper can treat my illness, hurry up and get him to treat me, or I’ll smash up this place!"

Upon hearing the burly man’s arrogant words, everyone in the back hall focused their attention on him.

Li Mingzhong was furious, waving his hand, and five or six martial artist guards surged in from outside the door.

"Outrageous!"

"Come, drive them all out!"

"Wait, Mingzhong!"

Just when a battle was about to erupt, a few figures appeared outside the back hall.

A middle-aged man with some white hair mixed in his sideburns walked in from outside, followed by two young men dressed in luxurious silk.

"Master!"

Everyone in the Lu Family Pharmacy, upon seeing who it was, greeted him respectfully.

Li Mingzhong quickly walked to Lu Jiahe, hurriedly speaking: "Master, these people are clearly here to cause trouble, don’t be deceived by them."

"No worries."

Lu Jiahe waved his hand, then looked at the men in front.

After a moment, Lu Jiahe furrowed his brow, curiously speaking: "I observe that you all look rosy and energetic, showing no signs of serious illness."

With years of experience, Lu Jiahe could instantly tell that these people had no symptoms of illness.

"Tch, I thought the shopkeeper of the Lu Family Pharmacy was supposed to have outstanding medical skills?"

"Turns out you’re just an old fraud like these useless doctors!"

The leading burly man mocked, and then nonchalantly approached Lu Jiahe.

"Do I really seem sick? Better take a closer look, old man!"

"How dare you!"

Upon hearing the insult towards his master, Li Mingzhong was about to draw the large knife from his waist but was stopped by Lu Jiahe.

Lu Jiahe seemed puzzled and scrutinized them again to verify if he had made any mistake.

Suddenly, when he was just a meter away from Lu Jiahe, a sharp short sword dropped from the sleeve of the man in front.

The burly man instantly erupted, his eyes filled with murderous intent, he leaped towards Lu Jiahe and thrust hard towards Lu Jiahe’s chest.

"Watch out, Master!"

Seeing this, Li Mingzhong went blank, his left hand instinctively shot up to shield Lu Jiahe.

Pfft!

With a soft sound, Li Mingzhong’s left arm was instantly pierced through, and the sword tip continued towards Lu Jiahe’s chest.

However, since Li Mingzhong’s thick arm took up most of the short sword’s area at the front.

The sword tip only scratched Lu Jiahe’s flesh, not penetrating further.

"You scoundrel!"

Moments later, everyone present reacted, bursting into fury.
