Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 318 - 348: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey

Long Xiaoshan decisively crippled the Jiaohe Double Fiends with clean and swift kicks.

Xing Ye’s face slightly changed.

Even the members of the Fan Family, who had been hoping to watch the tigers fight from the mountain, grew restless.

Although the Jiaohe Double Fiends had been dealt with, which was a good thing for the Fan Family since it meant there was one less strong competitor for the Two-hundred-year-old Snow Lotus, they were nonetheless formidable ancient warriors who had dominated the southwest for many years.

The combined strength of the two wouldn’t be inferior to a Xuan Level Beginner Stage expert.

Such powerful individuals had been disabled by the Special Action Division on a whim, without any semblance of a trial.

This was a clear disruption of the balance between the Special Action Division and the Ancient Martial World.

Because the Special Action Division represents the state, the official authority.

If the authorities could sanction individuals from the Ancient Martial World so casually, it would be a terrifying matter for clans like the Fan Family.

People from the Ancient Martial World would never allow such a thing to happen.

The elder in charge from the Fan Family stood up and said, "You two are from which division of the Special Action Division, and what are your names? How dare you so casually cripple a martial artist’s powers."

"Old man, who are you to be pointing fingers and giving orders to us from the Special Action Division?" Long Xiaoshan turned his head and said indifferently.

"How audacious!"

"How insolent! This is how you speak to Seventh Uncle?" The people from the Fan Family by the elder’s side all shouted angrily.

"I think you’re the ones being insolent. Do you realize you are obstructing public duty? Do you want me to arrest you as well?" Long Xiaoshan asserted firmly. He was now setting an example to intimidate others; the Jiaohe Double Fiends just had the misfortune of crossing his path.

Though he hadn’t spent much time in the Ancient Martial World, his few encounters with its residents were enough to understand that in this circle, might makes right. The stronger the fist, the more it counted as reason.

Intimidating these fierce individuals wouldn’t work by talking about rules or laws; it had to be done through absolute dominance and strength to suppress them.

Otherwise, the auction was bound to spiral into chaos sooner or later.

All sorts of riffraff would dare to rush into Bai’s Medicinal Materials and try to force a sale.

"Good, good, truly the ignorance of youth. Even General Lai Changyi from our East Chuan division wouldn’t dare to speak of arresting people so casually in the presence of our Fan Family," the Fan Family Elder said with a calm face.

"The East Chuan division is the East Chuan division, and I belong to the South Chuan group. You’re all talking too much; leave this place at once. From now on, Bai’s Medicinal Materials are under the protection of the Special Action Division. If anyone dares to intrude into Bai’s Medicinal Materials during the auction and cause trouble, they’ll end up just like the Jiaohe Double Fiends." Long Xiaoshan mentioned the Special Action Division fluently, unambiguously turning it into a force tasked with the specific duty of protecting Bai’s Medicinal Materials.

This made Xing Ye’s mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Although he was big and not the quickest thinker, being a deputy division leader meant he was no fool. He had the nagging feeling that Long Xiaoshan was waving a big banner under false pretenses; the mission from above seemed to only involve coming to Hechuan City to stabilize the situation, not to protect Bai’s Medicinal Materials.

"Presumptuous child!" The absolute domineering aura of the Fan Family Elder, even more oppressive than that of the Jiaohe Double Fiends from before, flared up—it was the authentic aura of a Xuan Level Expert.

Long Xiaoshan did not show any signs of weakness but instead took a step forward, glaring at the Fan Family Elder, "Old man, what now, thinking of taking action against the Special Action Division? Have you considered the consequences?"

The Fan Family Elder’s face changed colors several times.

His gaze swept over the Jiaohe Double Fiends lying on the ground, their martial arts completely disabled. Ultimately, that surge of momentum did not burst forth, and he growled, "Fine, I’ll see how long you from the Special Action Division can be arrogant for, we’re leaving."

The younger members of the Fan Family said, "Seventh Uncle, what are we afraid of?"

They were quite indignant. The Fan Family had always been used to swaggering around Beixue City. When had they ever been chased away so shamefully?

"Leave!"

The Fan Family Elder scolded once more, and the Fan Family martial artists could only glare at Long Xiaoshan resentfully before reluctantly following the elder away.

Once they had left Bai’s Medicinal Materials.

The Fan Family martial artists were still very displeased, saying, "Seventh Uncle, why fear the Special Action Division? If it really comes down to it, we’ll just fight. How could the Jiaohe Double Fiends compare to our Fan Family?"

"What do you know?"

Fan Laoqi frowned and said.

His decision to leave wasn’t just because the Jiaohe Double Fiends had been crippled—although that was a factor that showed him the toughness of the Special Action Division. A bigger reason was that he couldn’t see through Long Xiaoshan. From start to finish, Long Xiaoshan had never made a move; it was Xing Ye who had taken down the Jiaohe Double Fiends. However, just from the respectful attitude of Xing Ye towards Long Xiaoshan, and the traces revealed by Long Xiaoshan’s two kicks that disabled the Jiaohe Double Fiends, it was evident that this young man was not simple.

Although he, Fan Laoqi, was not afraid, there was still the issue that they hadn’t even seen the Snow Lotus yet. If they started fighting with the Special Action Division now, even if they actually won, what then? If they weren’t careful, several of their side might fall as well.

Currently, the undercurrents in Hechuan City were surging, and there were many strong individuals. It wasn’t just their Fan Family who had their sights set on the Two-hundred-year-old Snow Lotus. Weakening oneself would only benefit others.

Moreover, he thought of an even more ruthless method of using others to eliminate his enemy.

That kid from the Special Action Division was so arrogant, daring to challenge the competitors for the Snow Lotus in Hechuan City in the name of the Special Action Division. Did he really think that killing the Jiaohe Double Fiends would deter the strong individuals in Hechuan City?

After all, the means of the powerful are endless, especially those Spirit Practitioners with their spells, gu poison, talismans, and other methods, which kill more inconspicuously.

By then, there was no need for him to take action.

That kid was undoubtedly doomed.

"Immediately spread the word that the Special Action Division kid disabled the Jiaohe Double Fiends and arrogantly claimed Bai’s Medicinal Materials were under his protection. The wider it spreads, the better," the Fan Family Elder ordered.

The people of the Fan Family, their eyes lighting up, were no fools. They understood the elder’s intentions and nodded in agreement, rushing off to spread the word.

...

"Instructor, isn’t this too risky? This is essentially making us at the Special Action Division a target," Xing Ye said with a worried face once the Fan Family people had left.

"Hahaha, you ignorant fool, you are as good as dead," the Jiaohe Double Fiends cursed venomously from the ground. "Daring to cripple our Dantians and make such provocative statements, the Special Action Division could be wiped out in an instant. Do you really think you are invincible?"

"Shut up!" Long Xiaoshan kicked the Jiaohe Double Fiends in the face twice, shattering their teeth.

He looked at Xing Ye and asked, "Are you scared?"

Xing Ye’s face changed, and he hurriedly patted his chest, saying, "I, Xing Ye, have never been afraid. Besides, I’ve been irritated by these martial artists for a while now. Usually, when carrying out tasks, we have to be cautious around them. But I’m afraid the team leader will be mad."

"If Zhao Xiaoqiao is mad, she can come to me. It was all my idea," Long Xiaoshan said. "It’s fine now, you first take these two back to the division."

"Yes, Instructor," Xing Ye said, picking up the Jiaohe Double Fiends, one in each hand, and left.
