Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1297 - 1295: Someone Has to Bring Order to the Five Elements Realm!

With a swish.

Everyone impatiently turned their attention to Ling Haoyan, pulling faces and rolling their eyes, shaking their heads helplessly.

"Ling Attendant, you're shouting quite loudly, but why don't you make a move?"

Ling Haoyan stood like a statue, as if under an Immobilization Spell. Were it not for his slightly trembling raised hand, the crowd might have thought he was petrified.

The expression on his face was extremely complex.

Fear.

Terror.

Fright.

Nervousness.

His features were twisted beyond recognition, tears, snot, and saliva mixed together, covering his entire face. He didn't seem like someone about to kill, rather someone about to be killed.

Only because he held a military knife, did the crowd not think he was about to die any second.

"Ling Attendant, how long do you plan to keep this pose? Give me a heads up so I can decide if I should go take a dump. Watching you kill people has cured my constipation."

The crowd burst into laughter, pointing and teasing Ling Haoyan.

They were just there for the spectacle, not realizing the threat that Lin Fan's skills posed. They knew they weren't the ones involved directly, and thus Lin Fan's revenge wouldn't target them.

Therefore, they felt secure, eager for Ling Haoyan to take action.

"Le...less nonsense."

Ling Haoyan's forehead was covered in fine sweat, dripping onto his clothes, soaking through his attire, which clung to his body.

Even as he contemplated how to end the situation, he remained motionless.

...

At that moment.

Dongmen Buju couldn't suppress a smile as he watched everyone gathering around Ling Haoyan, nodding with satisfaction.

Then, he turned and walked in the opposite direction from the crowd, his eyes only on Zhu Qilue.

Zhu Qilue was initially also drawn to Ling Haoyan, but his injuries were still severe. Even though Lin Fan had treated him, the wound in his abdomen affected his entire body.

He tried to support himself to stand, but winced in pain, ending up collapsing back to the ground.

The next second.

He saw Dongmen Buju approaching him with a sinister sneer, his eyes full of malice and gloom.

Zhu Qilue had a sudden sinking feeling in his heart, sensing something was off.

With Lin Fan destined to die, Dongmen Buju should have been there to witness it, so why was he approaching him?

Before he could figure it out, Dongmen Buju was already in front of Zhu Qilue.

"Young Master Zhu, how is your injury, are you alright?" Dongmen Buju's voice was eerie, not so much a kind inquiry as probing for weakness.

He planned to use Zhu Qilue's condition to determine whether and when to act.

"Thank you for your concern, Clan Leader Dongmen, it's nothing serious." Zhu Qilue coldly stared back at Dongmen Buju, his face expressionless and calm.

"Really? You've bled a lot, are you sure you're okay? How about I take a look for you?"

"No need."

Dongmen Buju squatted down, reaching for Zhu Qilue's wound, only for his wrist to be caught by Zhu Qilue, who coldly rejected him.

"Lin Fan's about to be killed by that coward, aren't you going to watch? Haven't you always wanted Lin Fan dead? Now that he's about to die, you've lost interest?" Zhu Qilue pushed Dongmen Buju's hand away and asked ghostly.

"Nothing worth watching, Lin Fan won't die." Dongmen Buju smiled.

"Oh?"

"You've seen Ling Haoyan; a coward like him wouldn't dare kill Lin Fan, and besides, I won't let him kill Lin Fan. Lin Fan still has other uses." Dongmen Buju raised his eyebrows, secrets untold.

He was extremely confident because everything was within his control and plan.

If Ling Haoyan truly intended to act, he'd stop him with a flick of a pebble.

Lin Fan couldn't die, as he was the scapegoat. If the scapegoat died, who would bear the blame for Zhu Qilue's death?

"Then why did you provoke him to kill Lin Fan?" Zhu Qilue asked.

"Isn't it to get close to you?" Dongmen Buju replied, with a mysterious half-smile. But his expression soon changed to concern. "Young Master Zhu's wounds are so critical, I can't stand by. Your life is far more valuable than ours; if the Five Elements Realm holds us accountable, I can't bear the responsibility."

As he spoke, he pulled an elixir from his pouch, refined from medicinal materials that were millions of years old, priceless.

"Young Master Zhu, this elixir will aid your recovery. You're really careless to get injured by Lin Fan, but rest assured, I've crippled his legs, he can't even stand, so he poses no threat to you."

Hearing this, Zhu Qilue's forehead broke into a cold sweat.

For he knew Lin Fan couldn't come to harm him; had Lin Fan wanted to kill him, he could have done so long ago, there was no reason to wait.

Yet.

He sensed a killing intent from Dongmen Buju, as if he intended to kill him.

Dongmen Buju's words were clear: no one would come to save him, and he was doomed!

Zhu Qilue trembled, glancing at the elixir: "Thank you for the offer, Clan Leader Dongmen, but there's no need. I look down on it, only trash in the Five Elements Realm would use such a thing."

Dongmen Buju's face instantly turned grim, his eye twitched savagely. Yet, the fierceness quickly faded, leaving a chilling smile, quite unsettlingly creepy.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you, Young Master Zhu. It's natural for people from the Five Elements Realm to look down on the Sumeru Continent, I understand."

Dongmen Buju put the elixir away, smiling narrowing his eyes. But his tone grew increasingly harsh, as if masticating each phrase before spitting it at Zhu Qilue.

Contempt.

Rage.

Mockery.

Hurt and still so stubborn, soon you'll be without a grave.

"Clan Leader Dongmen, if you have something to do, just say it, no need to hide, it's exhausting." Zhu Qilue said icily. Despite his severe injuries, he maintained the Five Elements Realm's pride, not regarding Dongmen Buju as an adversary at all.

Dongmen Buju's pupils contracted sharply, he chuckled darkly, scratching his head.

"Indeed, people from the Five Elements Realm are arrogant. But you have no right to be arrogant in front of me; do you still have the strength to kill me?"

Zhu Qilue wished to clench his fists, but his arm was powerless. He was right; Dongmen Buju indeed came with ill intentions, seemingly to settle a score with him.

Dongmen Buju said with a sinister smile, "You people from the Five Elements Realm are so arrogant, dismissing those useless good-for-nothings, but to think of me as nothing—do you really believe I'm one of them? Judging by your expression, you should know why I'm here. Yes, someone must humble the Five Elements Realm's arrogance. You humiliated me before; today, I'll return it tenfold."

He grinned grotesquely, as if he intended to swallow Zhu Qilue whole.

...

Suddenly!

There came a loud shout from the ground.

"Oh no!"

The crowd was frightened out of their wits, scurrying like startled birds and beasts, fleeing in panic, wailing and howling as if Lin Fan had already slaughtered them.

Ling Haoyan was utterly petrified!

He stood there in shock, eyes wide, unsure of what to focus on, completely turning into an idiot.
