Chapter 63 Chapter 63: I Am the Biggest Backer

Dammit!

This was the thought that flashed through Ma Chen's mind in an instant.

Just as he tried to escape, his neck was already tightly gripped by Tang Xuan.

"You shouldn't have killed those people."

"They were innocent, and they shouldn't have died because of me."

Looking into Tang Xuan's pitch-black pupils, Ma Chen felt a surge of boundless terror in his heart.

Yet his status and social standing barely allowed him to keep his composure from shattering completely before Tang Xuan.

"What... what are you trying to do!"

"I am a member of the Ma family. If you dare to lay a single finger on me, I will make sure you die a miserable death."

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Tang Xuan flung his arm back.

Ma Chen was sent flying through the air, crashing heavily against the wall with a loud thud.

Liu Hao, witnessing this scene, was stunned and trembling all over.

He never expected Tang Xuan to be such a powerful martial artist!

Yet how strong could he possibly be?

Could he be stronger than the men Ma Chen brought with him?

Liu Hao refused to believe it.

He was merely a doctor; how high could his cultivation realm possibly be?

"What are you all standing around for? Didn't you see the young master of the Ma family getting beaten up?"

"Charge at him! Kill him!"

"Kill him to avenge Ma Chen!"

Liu Hao shouted at the top of his lungs.

Ma Chen caught his breath and said furiously, "Stop standing there! Kill him for me!"

Only by killing Tang Xuan could he cover up the fact that he had murdered those innocent people.

Originally, he had not planned to make a move inside the Wang residence, but things had reached this point, and backing down was clearly no longer an option.

Ma Chen could only pray that the Wang family would not interfere; otherwise, the men he brought with him might not have the upper hand.

Hearing Ma Chen's command, the bodyguards finally moved into action.

Liu Hao said excitedly, "Kill him, kill him!"

"Kill this good-for-nothing and let him die!"

Once Tang Xuan was dead, the title of divine physician would naturally return to him.

Therefore, Liu Hao desired Tang Xuan's death more than anyone else.

Besides, in Liu Hao's eyes, Tang Xuan was undoubtedly a dead man!

Su Qin did not make a move; she merely stepped back and watched quietly.

Being a member of the Su family, she could not easily expose her martial prowess and draw unwanted attention.

Remaining hidden from the public eye was the greatest trump card of the Su family.

Unless absolutely necessary, Su Qin would never expose her identity as a martial artist in front of a crowd.

Her gaze remained fixed on Tang Xuan.

She wanted to find out what kind of cultivation realm Tang Xuan possessed.

Aside from his peerless medical skills, just how formidable was his combat strength?

Facing the encirclement of numerous opponents, Tang Xuan did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the slightest; in fact, he gained the upper hand in a very short time.

Half of the men brought by Ma Chen had already collapsed to the ground in a matter of moments.

Seeing this scene, Ma Chen finally began to panic.

If all his subordinates went down, his own situation would become extremely perilous.

Liu Hao, previously flushed with heat and excitement, also calmed down.

He never imagined that Tang Xuan possessed such terrifying strength.

Wishing for Tang Xuan to die here was clearly wishful thinking.

He involuntarily closed his mouth, even regretting the words he had just blurted out.

He surely couldn't have heard him, right?

Liu Hao was terrified.

He was afraid that once all these men fell, Tang Xuan would come to settle accounts with him.

Before long, all the bodyguards brought by Ma Chen were sprawled on the ground.

They hadn't even been given a chance to put up much of a fight, failing to inflict even the slightest scratch on Tang Xuan.

The shock in Su Qin's eyes was beyond description.

She could not discern Tang Xuan's exact realm, but she could sense that he was immensely powerful!

At barely twenty years of age, he had already grown to such a terrifying height.

If...

If he could be recruited into the Su family, the family's status would undoubtedly ascend to even greater heights!

Tang Xuan walked toward Ma Chen.

Ma Chen panicked completely, his legs turning to jelly. He tried to run, only to tumble face-first onto the floor.

"Y-you, don't come any closer."

"Don't come closer!"

Ma Chen retreated until he hit the corner of the wall, with nowhere left to run.

Wang Tao demanded sternly, "Ma Chen, how on earth did those people in the photos die!"

He cared little about what fate awaited Ma Chen.

All he wanted to know was whether Tang Xuan could save his father.

Ma Chen was in no state to pay attention to Wang Tao.

He could feel the murderous intent radiating from Tang Xuan, especially those icy-cold eyes that nearly scared the wits out of him.

"I'm warning you, I am from the Ma family. You cannot touch me."

"I can let bygones be bygones about you beating up my men."

"Stop walking. Stop right now."

He roared the final sentence with almost every ounce of his remaining strength.

Because every step Tang Xuan took closer to him amplified his psychological pressure.

He was terrified that Tang Xuan might do something irrational.

Yet Tang Xuan did not stop.

Not for a single step.

From the moment Ma Chen produced those photographs, his fate had already been sealed.

Tang Xuan was going to avenge those victims!

"Do you want to live?"

Ma Chen nodded frantically.

"Yes."

"I want to!"

"I beg you, don't kill me."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Tang Xuan slammed his foot down fiercely onto Ma Chen's head.

Ma Chen's pupils dilated instantly, and blood began to gush continuously from his nose and mouth.

Panicked, he tried to cover his face with both hands, but he could do nothing to stem the surging torrent of blood.

In the end, Ma Chen collapsed into a pool of blood with wide-open eyes.

Wang Tao was utterly paralyzed.

He never imagined that Tang Xuan would actually dare to kill Ma Chen!

Did he hold no regard for the Ma family whatsoever?

Now that Ma Chen was dead, how was he supposed to find out how the people in the photos had died?

Should he trust Tang Xuan and let him treat his father?

Su Qin's chest heaved violently.

Even the Su family would never dare to kill Ma Chen so recklessly without a second thought.

She had to admit that his actions were audacious to the extreme.

"The Ma family will not let you off. You need a powerful backer."

Hearing Su Qin's words, Tang Xuan let out a cold laugh.

"I am my own greatest backer."

Su Qin gasped sharply.

Overbearing, arrogant, and defying all worldly conventions!

These were all the adjectives that came to her mind to describe Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan turned his gaze to Wang Tao.

"If you don't trust me, I can leave right now."

"However, I won't refund the money, because I have already made the house call, and you are the one unilaterally breaching the contract."

Tang Xuan cared little whether he treated Wang Li or not; in any case, he was not returning the money.

Extracting wealth once it was safely in his pocket was simply out of the question.

Wang Tao hesitated deeply, unable to determine whether Ma Chen's previous words had been true or false.

At that moment, Wang Li wheeled himself out from the inner room.

He had witnessed everything that had transpired just now.

He was profoundly shocked by Tang Xuan's strength.

Furthermore, he did not believe a single word of what Ma Chen had said.

The Ma family wished nothing more than for him to die; if everyone cured by Tang Xuan had truly dropped dead, how could the Ma family possibly have sent people to stop him?

"Divine Physician, please treat me."

Wang Tao looked toward Wang Li with deep concern.

"Dad, just now..."

Wang Li let out a cold snort and reprimanded, "You are truly a fool! If what Ma Chen said were true, would he have brought men to stop him?"

"He would have simply sat back and waited quietly for me to die."

Wang Tao was suddenly enlightened and quickly said to Tang Xuan, "Divine Physician, I am sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you."
