The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 988

Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Showdown with the Young Man from Ailao Mountain! Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Showdown with the Young Man from Ailao Mountain! At this time, Huang Xiaolong’s expression was very determined, as calm as the gentle breeze and light clouds, even exuding a sense of confidence.

It seemed he had long foreseen that the eldest disciple Zeng Qi’s attempt to slay the Rat King would be futile and unsuccessful!

“What? I’m wrong? How could I possibly make a mistake?” Zeng Qi was beside himself with rage, his face completely pale.” I, Zeng Qi, am the leading disciple of my master! The number one true successor of Longhu Mountain! I have followed my master in exorcising demons and ghosts, destroying countless specters, slaying numerous monsters… how could I be wrong? The cause of this woman’s illness is precisely because that Rat Demon was causing trouble in the shadows! Now, I have killed the Rat Demon, along with its entire brood! This woman’s illness should have cured on its own right! How could I be wrong? I can’t be wrong!”

Indeed, when it came to exorcising demons and ghosts, Zeng Qi was exceptionally outstanding among the Taoists of China, almost never missing his target!

Now that Huang Xiaolong said he was wrong from the start, he definitely couldn’t accept it!

“You’re not wrong?” In Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, there was unabashed mockery and ridicule as he looked toward the woman who was violently vomiting and whose illness was becoming increasingly perilous,” If you’re not wrong, how come she is getting worse, almost dying?”

“You!!!” Zeng Qi’s face turned red with embarrassment. But he was at a loss for words.

“Shut up!” The youth from Ailao Mountain let out a cold snort.” Kid, stop spouting nonsense here. If you say that Brother Zeng was wrong from the beginning, then what about you? Can you cure this woman? If you can’t either, then your contest with Brother Zeng is a tie!”

Pausing for a moment, the youth from Ailao Mountain said to Zeng Qi with a smile,” Brother Zeng, you don’t need to be nervous. This kid is bluffing you. If even you can’t subdue the demon, how could he?”

“That’s right! It’s a draw!” Zeng Qi’s eyes lit up,” Hahaha~~ Brother, if you hadn’t reminded me, I would have almost fallen for this kid’s trick. He is really sly.”

“Of course, I can solve the problem,” Huang Xiaolong said with a touch of boredom as he yawned.” Actually, the root cause is that the Rat Demon has cursed this girl. Even before I entered the house, I felt the curse power of the rat clan. Without removing the curse, even if you killed all the rats within a hundred miles, it would still be in vain~~”
“Curse?”

Everyone was somewhat stunned.

“Hahaha~~ This is hilarious, a curse? The rat clan’s curse? That’s utterly absurd!” Zeng Qi especially didn’t believe a word, not even a single letter, of what Huang Xiaolong was saying.

At this moment, the girl’s parents knelt down before Huang Xiaolong, kowtowing and crying out,” Little Master, please, save our daughter~~ we beg you~~~”
“Your pleading is useless! He’s nothing but trash! A decorative pillow!” Zeng Qi shouted angrily.

Huang Xiaolong paid no attention to Zeng Qi, and instructed Huo Bingyan who was beside him,” Bingyan wife, go and close the front door. All the windows upstairs should be shut too, leave only the windows on this floor open.”

“Mhm~~” Huo Bingyan obediently went to carry out the order. Yan Pianpian and Feng Hanyan hurried to help.

Before long, all the doors and windows of the two-story building were closed, except for a single window on the first floor, which remained open.

At this moment, Zeng Qi and the youth from Ailao Mountain, as well as Huo Bingyan’s mean senior sister, and some disciples from Longhu Mountain, were all looking at Huang Xiaolong with faces full of doubt.

“Do you have any burlap sacks at home?” Huang Xiaolong asked the couple.

“Yes, yes, I’ll get them right away. I’ll get them right away~~~” The middle-aged man hurriedly stumbled up to the second floor and quickly brought down several large burlap sacks.

“Tie the burlap sacks to the window that’s open, cover the window tightly so there are no gaps, and point the opening of the sacks into the room,” Huang Xiaolong instructed further.

Ma Chuxia took care of this task. Following Huang Xiaolong’s instructions, she tied the sacks in place.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes rolled and he crooked his finger at Black Sister.

“Young Master, did you call me?” Black Sister hopped and bounded over to Huang Xiaolong.

“Black Sister, do you need to use the restroom?” Huang Xiaolong asked softly.

Black Sister’s face instantly flushed red, and she stammered, “Young Master~ you’re so bad~ but… it’s just that… I do feel a little bit of a need~~”
“Number one or number two?”

“Young Master!” Although she was a cat demon who had cultivated for over a thousand years, after transforming into a human, her thoughts were similar to those of a teenage girl. She was very reliant on Huang Xiaolong, but being asked such an embarrassing question face-to-face made her extremely bashful. However, she was obedient and whispered in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s, “Number… number one~~~”
“That’s good! Black Sister, go use the restroom right now~~” Huang Xiaolong whispered a few words in Black Sister’s ear.

With a flush on her face, Black Sister left.

Soon after, Black Sister came out holding a paper cup half-filled with liquid, which she quickly handed to Huang Xiaolong. Then she covered her face with her hands and hid behind Feng Hanyan.

Huang Xiaolong took the half cup of liquid and walked over to the girl who was hanging on to life by a thread. Supporting her, he then fed the liquid into her mouth.

“What did you give her to drink? You better be careful, if she dies from it, you’ll be facing a lawsuit!” Zeng Qi sneered. “I don’t believe it, your cup of water can bring her back to life!”

Right now, Zeng Qi would rather the girl just died. He had no good intentions in his heart; if the girl died, he could make a big fuss out of it and embarrass Huang Xiaolong!

“Giggle giggle~~ I get it~~” Qingqing covered her mouth and laughed.

“I know too, it’s Black Sister’s… her… her urine! Hahaha!” Xiaohong struggled to hold back her laughter without making a sound.

Ma Chuxia, however, had a serious expression on her face, nodding in sudden realization. “So, this is the trick to break the Rat Demon’s curse! Indeed, cats are naturally the nemesis of rats. Cat urine can surely break any spell of a Rat Demon. Moreover, Black Sister isn’t just an ordinary cat demon, but a terrifying cat demon with a thousand years of cultivation and a sea of resentment!”

Ma Chuxia couldn’t help but glance at Black Sister.

No matter how cute and pretty Black Sister might seem, that’s because she’s by Huang Xiaolong’s side. If she were left to her own devices, she could probably kill off the population of an entire city in just a few days!

After the girl drank the last half of the “water,”
suddenly!

Wu wu~~ wu wu~~ wu wu~~~!

A gust of demonic wind burst forth from inside the girl’s body!

The wind carried with it an unbearable stench of rats!

This demonic wind circled around the room as if trying to find an escape, only to realize that all the doors and windows had been closed, except for one window that had been left open on purpose by Huang Xiaolong–the same one with the burlap bag tied to it.

The gusts of wind lunged towards that burlap sack!

In an instant, the empty burlap sack swelled up as if it was being inflated like a balloon.

“Hahaha~~” Huang Xiaolong walked over, methodically tied up the mouth of the sack, and then took it down from the window.

The next moment, Huang Xiaolong took out a talisman from his canvas bag and slapped it onto the burlap sack.

Boom~~~!!!!

Golden light burst forth as cries and squeals like those of cornered rats came from the sack, but quickly, those sounds disappeared, and the balloon-like inflated burlap sack deflated.

Looking again, the girl had stopped vomiting and oozing pus; her troubled and heavy breathing had returned to a calm rhythm.

On her face appeared tinges of long-absent rosy health.

Her eyes narrowed as if she had fallen asleep, her expression peaceful.

“Oh my God!!!! My daughter! My daughter!” The parents were as if in a dream. They hurried over and gingerly touched the girl’s forehead.

“No fever! No cough either! She’s better! My daughter is better! Good heavens! A living immortal! Little Master, you truly are a living immortal!”

“Hehehehe~~ a trifle matter,” Huang Xiaolong said with a mocking glance towards the dumbfounded Zeng Qi and the youth from Ailao Mountain, as well as a group of disciples from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Then Huang Xiaolong untied the mouth of the burlap sack and gave it a shake, dropping a large amount of rat fur from inside.

The fur fell to the ground, forming a thick layer.

This scene left everyone in the room baffled, even the youth from Ailao Mountain was somewhat taken aback.

After shaking out all the rat fur, Huang Xiaolong burned a fire talisman. The flame swiftly turned both the sack and the pile of rat fur into ashes.

“Xiaohong, come here, there’s one more thing you need to do,” Huang Xiaolong called the visibly shy Xiaohong over and whispered a few instructions into her ear.

Xiaohong nodded, then went to the girl’s side, bit open her own finger, and with her blood, wrote a character in the palm of the girl’s hand.

The character for “cat.”

That blood character quickly disappeared; to be precise, it seeped into the girl’s body.

“That’s it, you’re all set. From now on, no matter how fierce the rat demons are, they won’t dare to harm you again,” Huang Xiaolong said, smiling at the girl who was deep in slumber.

Indeed, a powerful cat demon had personally written the character “cat” with her blood. From now on, wherever the girl might go, rats would surely flee in terror, even formidable rat demons wouldn’t dare to harm her.

Because Xiaohong had talismans given to her by Huang Xiaolong hidden within her, neither Zeng Qi nor the youth from Ailao Mountain or the other people could perceive her true identity.

“So what do you think, this contest of powers–you lost, right? Hehehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong teased Zeng Qi with a taunting look. “Aye~~ as the chief disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain, to be honest, that’s pretty mediocre~~ To exorcise ghosts and subdue demons, you almost killed the person. Such a simple matter, yet you went to kill rat demons and ended up losing several fellow disciples’ lives… hahahahaha~~~~ That’s just too funny; I can’t stop laughing~~~”
Huang Xiaolong never hesitated to kick an enemy when they were down.

“Pfft~~~!!!!!” In an instant, Zeng Qi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in anger, his body staggering and trembling.

Indeed, he had caused such a commotion, going off to kill the Rat King, and lost a few men in the process, and yet he couldn’t solve the problem that Huang Xiaolong dealt with effortlessly.

Even as Huang Xiaolong had pointed out, from the start Zeng Qi had made a grave error in judgment!

The outcome of this contest of powers was clear!

Zeng Qi suffered a crushing defeat!

The disciples from Dragon Tiger Mountain lowered their heads, one after another, their faces filled with dejection, their innate sense of superiority shattered!

“Don’t be too proud of yourself, it’s just a fluke,” said the youth from Ailao Mountain, stepping forward as if to divert the attention from Zeng Qi. “Let’s have a contest of powers as well. But rest assured, this time, you stand no chance! You… are doomed to lose!!!!”
