Chapter 66 Chapter 66: The God of War
Many people like to call themselves Gods of War.
And many martial practitioners enjoy bestowing all sorts of grandiose titles upon themselves to intimidate others.
However, most of these individuals are merely incompetent scumbags with an inflated sense of self-worth.
Their titles are resounding, but their actual strength is lacking.
Yet at this very moment, a genuine God of War had appeared within the Wang family estate!
Tang Xuan used his fists as weapons, an unstoppable force of nature.
With every punch he threw, another man collapsed.
The howling wind of his fists became a spine-chilling symphony of violence; each time it resounded, a life was extinguished.
The father and son of the Wang family stood dumbfounded, paralyzed by disbelief.
Su Qin gasped sharply, her eyes nearly popping out of her sockets.
This outcome was beyond anything they could have ever imagined.
Like a true God of War, Tang Xuan was invincible and completely unstoppable.
In the span of just a few blinks, the men brought by Ma Yan had all fallen!
Not a single one remained able to fight.
Wang Li drew in a sharp breath, a creeping sensation of numbness spreading across his scalp.
Wang Tao’s hands shook uncontrollably, as though he had just laid eyes upon a ghost.
These were all of Ma Yan's ultimate trump cards, a formidable force that could be considered rare powerhouses even throughout the entire Junyang City.
Yet...
Yet in front of Tang Xuan, they were as fragile and worthless as paper.
"Dad, he's so strong!"
"How can he possibly be this strong!"
"Isn't he just a doctor?"
"What kind of cultivation realm has he actually attained?!"
Wang Li wanted to ask the exact same question.
What sort of realm did Tang Xuan possess to be able to exhibit such overwhelming power?
Even if the Wang family exhausted all their resources, it would be impossible for them to deal with Ma Yan’s men so effortlessly.
Yet to Tang Xuan, this seemed like nothing more than a child's game.
An old man toying with a toddler.
An elephant stepping on an ant.
With absolute strength, he easily crushed Ma Yan.
"We were wrong, we were utterly and profoundly wrong!"
A look of agonizing pain suddenly washed over Wang Li's face.
He knew what he had just let slip through his fingers.
From this day forward, any attempt by the Wang family to forge a relationship with Tang Xuan would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
He was filled with deep regret, wishing desperately that time could be turned back.
Had he only made the firm choice to stand firmly behind Tang Xuan, the future standing of the Wang family would be beyond imagination.
"Dad, what did we do wrong?"
Wang Li beat his chest in despair.
"You are a fool, a colossal fool."
"He is at least a powerhouse of the Trembling Thunder Realm, and he is so young. Do you have any idea what that means?"
"His miraculous medical skills can cure incurable diseases. Do you know what this signifies as well?"
"With a talent like this, our Wang family won't even have the chance to lick the dust off his shoes in the future!"
At least a Trembling Thunder Realm powerhouse.
Wang Tao was completely stunned.
Naturally, he understood what such a young master of the Trembling Thunder Realm implied.
Furthermore, the fact that Wang Li had emphasized the words "at least" suggested that his true strength might very well lie at an even higher tier.
Goosebumps suddenly erupted all over Wang Tao's body.
The Earthly Abyss Realm?
A peerless powerhouse!
A proud son of heaven!
When this cascade of titles flashed through his mind, Wang Li finally realized what the Wang family had missed out on.
Su Qin was utterly dumbfounded.
Clearly, Tang Xuan's strength far exceeded even her highest estimations.
Just moments ago, she had foolishly believed that Tang Xuan was walking to his certain death.
Now, that thought seemed like a joke—an absolute, colossal joke.
He truly had not taken the mere Ma family seriously at all.
With a powerhouse of this caliber, to say nothing of killing Ma Chen, what would it matter if he annihilated the entire Ma family or wiped out the Wang family as well?
Martial practitioners could treat human lives like blades of grass.
If a powerhouse like him chose to treat the lives of martial practitioners like blades of grass, who could say otherwise?
Tang Xuan stepped forward, closing in on Ma Yan step by step.
Only at this very moment did Ma Yan finally comprehend what kind of terrifying existence he had provoked.
He was entirely unqualified to avenge Ma Chen.
What was the Ma family anyway?
Worthless trash?
In Tang Xuan's eyes, the ultimate trump cards of the Ma family were nothing more than a mob of rabble.
Suddenly, Ma Yan dropped heavily to his knees before Tang Xuan.
"I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
"I beg you, spare my life."
All his overflowing fury vanished into thin air at that exact moment.
Having regained his sanity, Ma Yan kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Tang Xuan said indifferently, "It's not that you know you were wrong; you just know that you are about to die."
Color drained from Ma Yan's face in an instant, turning him deathly pale.
"As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to pay any price."
"All the wealth of the Ma family shall be yours."
"I am willing to become your loyal hound."
Ma Yan kowtowed continuously, desperately hoping to halt Tang Xuan's advance.
How could Tang Xuan possibly stop?
Innocent people had died because of him, and his wrath had yet to be fully vented.
Walking right up to Ma Yan, Tang Xuan loomed over him from above, at that moment resembling a God of War of towering, majestic stature.
Su Qin gazed at his retreating back, a trace of infatuation hidden deep within her eyes.
From the very moment she became a covert operative for the Su family, Su Qin had known that she must never let emotions cloud her judgment, which was why she had never harbored romantic feelings for any man.
Yet at this moment, the deep-seated reverence in her heart stirred unfamiliar feelings within her toward Tang Xuan.
Only a man of this caliber was worthy of her.
If she could successfully bring Tang Xuan into the Su family fold, she would never need to live the life of a secret agent again.
A powerhouse of this magnitude was entirely capable of elevating the Su family to an unshakable position of supremacy.
She had to relay this matter to Su Qing as quickly as possible and urge him to win Tang Xuan over!
Tang Xuan raised his hand.
Ma Yan was trembling so violently he had wet himself in terror.
"No, I beg you, please don't!"
"Go keep them company in the afterlife!"
As his final words fell, his fist came crashing down, landing squarely on the crown of Ma Yan's head.
Ma Yan's body instantly stiffened, his eyes bulging outward before he collapsed limply to the ground, losing all breath of life.
Without a single word, Tang Xuan turned and left the Wang family estate.
A large crowd had gathered outside the Wang mansion, completely unaware of what had transpired inside.
They only knew that the Ma family had inexplicably barged inside with a troop of men.
However, the reason behind the Ma family's actions was not what concerned them.
Their sole mission was to monitor whether Wang Li had been successfully cured, as this would determine the bidding prices their respective backing families would offer for Tang Xuan's future medical consultations.
"What's going on? Why is he leaving already?"
"Was he cured or not? I'm still waiting for news here."
"Who isn't waiting for news? Why is there zero reaction from inside?"
"Could it be that the treatment failed?"
"In my opinion, that's highly likely. After all, Wang Li's condition was fatal; it couldn't have been easy to treat."
"What do we do now? Should we just head back and report failure?"
Just as the crowd was wondering what to do next, Wang Li suddenly appeared at the front doorway.
"What the hell."
"Wang Li!"
"It's actually Wang Li!"
"He doesn't even need a wheelchair anymore."
"Could it be... has he really been cured?!"
The crowd erupted in instant uproar.
Every single person stared at Wang Li in sheer disbelief.
Wang Li forced a smile that looked infinitely worse than crying.
"Everyone, my illness has been completely cured."
An uproar swept through the scene, leaving no lingering doubts regarding Tang Xuan's medical prowess.
Yet they remained deeply perplexed: since Wang Li had been cured, why didn't he look particularly happy?
Instead, a trace of bitter anguish permeated his brows. What was the meaning of this?
How could they possibly know that the current Wang Li only wanted to weep, knowing he had missed out on the greatest fortune of his entire lifetime.
