Chapter 27: Make a Move!

  Seeing this scene, Xiao Hong's expression changed involuntarily. With just a glance, he knew that these were the symptoms of an acute heart attack, and the situation was critical, with life hanging in the balance.

  He took another glance at Wang Liang, then turned around and quickly walked towards the old man who had fallen to the ground. Having studied medicine for many years, Xiao Hong was well aware that saving lives was a pharmacist's top priority.

  But just as Xiao Hong was walking towards the old man, he glanced at Wang Liang, slightly narrowed his eyes, and then swung the hoe at Xiao Hong. The reason for this was that he had determined Xiao Hong to be only a second-level cultivator, without any attacking power.

  "Think you can hide? Not that easy." Wang Liang said, the pickaxe in his hand had already struck towards Xiao Hong's shoulder.

  If he was hit, he would definitely not end well. Xiao Hong didn't stop in his tracks or look at Wang Liang, but instead raised his right arm slightly and grabbed Wang Liang's wrist that held the pickaxe.

  Thanks to the physical training method and having already mastered the third level of Body Tempering, dealing with a Wang Liang would be easy and pleasant even without using magic seals.

  "I don't want to get entangled with you any further now, that old man is in a hurry and needs to be treated as soon as possible. I suggest we talk about our matters later." Xiao Hong tried his best to make his tone calm and said to Wang Liang.

  "Hmph! You still want to practice medicine? Let me tell you, Xu Ge has already given the order, from now on, you are not allowed to practice medicine in East City again. Otherwise, you will regret being a human being. As for that old man, if he has money, go to Er Ge's Miao Dan Medicine Hall, and if he doesn't have money, then just forget it." Wang Liang said with a tone of indifference, but more so a threat towards Xiao Hong, trying to wriggle his wrist free from Xiao Hong's grasp.

  However, Xiao Hong, who heard this, not only didn't let Wang Liang get his way, but also exerted a slight force with his seemingly rough hand. Although Xiao Hong was ill, it did not affect his physical function. On the contrary, after so many days of training and the improvement of his driving skills, his strength had become extremely great.

  It was just an instant, and the originally fierce Wang Liang only felt that his wrist was caught in a steel pincer, and after struggling several times, it was useless. Instead, as Xiao Hong slowly exerted force, Wang Liang felt a severe pain transmitted from his wrist.

  Crack!

  Just a few seconds later, a cracking sound began to emanate from Wang Liang's wrist. Previously, Wang Liang's expression had been slightly ferocious, but now it gradually revealed a painful look, and he was also greatly shocked in his heart. He never expected that Xiao Hong, who seemed so weak, would have such great strength.

  Dong dong.

  Under Xiao Hong's powerful grip, the hoe in Wang Liang's hand fell to the ground involuntarily. Originally brandishing his claws, Wang Liang also started struggling under the stimulation of pain.

  Xiao Hong remained as still as a rock, standing there motionless, letting Wang Liang struggle, his hands still exerting force.

  However, at this moment, Xiao Hong's eyes suddenly moved slightly, revealing a hint of vigilance, and then he suddenly let go and took a step back.

  Whoosh!

  In an instant, a silver-white energy blade flashed between Xiao Hong and Wang Liang, rubbing past them and crashing into the trunk of a distant tree, forming a deep mark.

  This white energy blade is naturally recognized by Xiao Hong, it's the most common third-level magic pattern of the Knight Templar - Light Wing Battle Pattern.

  Quickly focusing his gaze in the direction of the incoming attack, he saw Xu Qing standing with his hands clasped to his chest, ten or more meters away, a look of dissatisfaction and severity on his gloomy face.

  Behind him was Xun Nan.

  When Xu Qing appeared, the villagers who were still struggling stopped their movements. In their eyes, Xu Qing was an absolutely terrifying existence. Although he only had a Light Wing Battle Pattern in his hand, it was many times more powerful than an ordinary person's fists and feet.

  Some villagers have even witnessed it with their own eyes, before Xu Qing used the Light Wing Battle Pattern to cut off the arm of a pharmacist who tried to resist and then drove him out of Dongcheng Town.

  It was clear that whether it was the villagers or the injured miners, Xiao Hong would be in big trouble now, and Xu Qing would not let him off easily.

  Li Le, who had been fighting fiercely with the miners all along, also began to feel a little apprehensive at this moment. Xu Qing was a third-level beast tamer, after all, and could control the battle patterns. It would be too easy for him to defeat these miners who only knew how to use brute force.

  Even if it were Xiao Hong, Li Le felt that there would be no good outcome, because a second-rate driver had no combat power.

  On the other hand, Wang Liang and those fierce miners seemed to have a backbone, each with a ferocious expression, their eyes still filled with disdain.

  Xu Qing took matters into his own hands, and with this move, Xiao Hong and Li Le are probably going to get a taste of their own medicine.

  With this idea, Wang Liang and the fierce miners retreated to Xu Qing's side, waiting for Xu Qing's summons.

  At this time, Xu Qing still had a solemn and majestic appearance, with the light wing magic pattern on his right arm emitting silver light, carrying a killing aura, constantly wandering between Xu Qing's arms.

  As for Wang Liang and those fierce miners, their faces still showed endless contemptuous expressions, especially Wang Liang, who had already thought it through - once Xu Qing made a move to knock Xiao Hong down, he would absolutely not let that damned Xiao Hong have a good outcome.

  "Dare to make trouble in my territory, do you think you've lived for too long?" Xu Qing said with a gloomy face, using a tone that was full of oppression. This was also a habit he had cultivated over time. After all, this place was still some distance away from Tai Wu City, and high-level guys would never come here. As the saying goes, here in this place, Xu Qing was like heaven!

  "It was your people who started trouble first." Li Le said suddenly with a trembling voice.

  "Our people are causing trouble, that's your fault first. Without my consent, you dare to open a pharmacy here, that's wrong." Xu Qing glanced at Li Le and then fixed his gaze on Xiao Hong, narrowing his eyes slightly, like a wild beast observing its prey.

  "This isn't the East City Quarry, you have no right to interfere with us. There's no rule that says we can't open a medicine shop outside of the East City Quarry." Li Le responded, but as soon as he saw the energy magic mark on Xu Qing's arm, his heart felt a chill. That thing wasn't something ordinary people could withstand.

  "Rules? I am the rules here. My power is the rules. Without my approval, whoever opens a medicine shop here is breaking the rules, and I will make them suffer severe punishment." Xu Qing continued to say.

  The villagers and the injured miner who heard this, one by one showed a fearful expression, glanced at Xiao Hong slightly, and secretly worried about him in their hearts. It was clear that Xiao Hong's troubles had grown bigger, and he might even be beaten to death by Xu Qing.

  "Our matter can be settled later, that old man is in a hurry to get medical treatment." Xiao Hong made his tone as calm as possible and said to Xu Qing, then walked towards the old man who fell on the ground.

  But at this moment, Xu Qing swung his arm again, and a silver-white energy blade chopped towards Xiao Hong once more.

  Faced with this situation, Xiao Hong had no choice but to retreat another step, and the silver-white energy blade swept past his body once again.

  "From today on, you are strictly forbidden to practice medicine here. As for that old man, as long as he can pay the money, he can go to the Miao Dan Medicine Hall. If he has no money, then no one can save him." Xu Qing said with a cold and ruthless tone, in his eyes, there was only money!

  "You're forcing me to take action." Xiao Hong squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, his calm expression also revealing a hint of anger as he glanced at the old man writhing in pain on the ground.

  When Wang Liang, Xu Nan and others heard this, they almost didn't dare to believe their ears. They hadn't expected that a small second-rate servant would dare say such words in front of Xu Qing. For a moment, everyone looked at each other with expressions of disdain and contempt. In their opinion, these words could completely infuriate Xu Qing, and Xiao Hong was going to be in big trouble this time.

  The villagers next to him, including Li Le and others, also showed a hint of doubt and concern on their faces. They never thought that Xiao Hong would say such things. In their opinion, the best way out at present is to resolve it through peaceful means, because here, no one is Xu Qing's opponent, and provoking Xu Qing is nothing short of asking for trouble.

  For a moment, Li Le and others' expressions already showed a hint of fear, unsure of what to do.

  "Force you to make a move? What a big tone, today I'm really looking forward to seeing how you'll make your move?" Xu Qing said in a low voice, with a fierce smile spreading across his face as he suddenly opened his arms and shot out three energy blades, chopping towards Xiao Hong, clearly using his killing move.

  He glanced at the three incoming energy blades, Xiao Hong didn't choose to dodge, his fingers lightly moved on the magic seal package, and the thorny battle seal transformed into an energy form, surrounding Xiao Hong's arm.

  The next moment, a thorny vine grew out of Xiao Hong's hand and swung his arm. The thorny vine swept towards the three energy blades like a whip.

  Bang, bang, bang.

  In an instant, the three sharp energy blades in front of the thorny vines shattered like glass, crumbling and dissolving into thin air.

  Li Le and others who were still worried about Xiao Hong, seeing this scene, their eyes revealed a hint of astonishment, their mouths wide open.

  "Th...th..." Li Le was at a loss for words for a moment, his expression extremely exaggerated.

  "Hong... Hongye, can actually control the war pattern? Mo... could it be that he is third-grade..." The words behind, Linzi did not continue to say, his face was filled with incredulity.
