The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 689 - : Master Wu!

Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Master Wu!

Night.

A dismal villa in the outskirts of Dong’an.

In the villa’s hall, there were no lights on, only some eerily flickering candlelight from candelabras plugged into the wall for illumination.

The light was bizarre; the flame was not big, it hopped and skipped – a chilling crimson red.

The entire hall had an overwhelming smell of corpse.

Indeed! The oil lighting the room was corpse oil!

...

On the sofa in the hall sat an old man. His expression was extremely cold, with eyes dark as ink radiating chills, and an oppressive aura of death around him – he was akin to a dead man!

Behind the sofa, like statues, stood two elderly servants, their bodies also reeking of blood—a sinister presence.

The old man sitting on the sofa was toying with a loach charm in his hand. When the corners of his mouth lifted, a malevolent smile emerged. “Interesting, someone was able to leave traces of Taoist Power in my charm… they’re trying to track me. Hehehe, a Taoist… how intriguing…”

“Have you learned the information I asked you to investigate?” the old man asked in a deep voice.

“Master Wu, Mrs. Ding visited a Taoist temple on the outskirts today. This Taoist temple has been abandoned for many years, but it seems to have been refurbished recently,” an old servant standing behind the sofa respectfully replied. “Mrs. Ding was awake when she left. It seems that a Taoist broke your spell in the Taoist temple, Master Wu.”

“Mmm~~~” The old man, Master Wu, mused for a while, and then smiled wryly. “Not only did he break my spell, he also attempted to track me…It seems he wants a duel…Hehehe~~~”

“He is courting death, daring to offend you, Master Wu.” A contemptuous expression emerged on both servants’ faces, as if witnessing something preposterous.

“I don’t mind playing a round with this Taoist… There are always some fools in this world…. Hehehe… I will show them what it means to prance before a carriage, to be a mantis trying to stop a chariot… Hehehe~~~” Master Wu thought for a moment, then laughed eerily. “Tomorrow is my birthday banquet. Send an invitation to that Taoist temple.”

At that, both servants choked for a moment.

“Master Wu, are you inviting the Taoist from the temple to attend your longevity feast?”

“He broke my spell, didn’t he? I’ll wage a curse duel with him!” Master Wu stretched out his withered palm. “Give me a blank invitation.”

One of the servants turned to fetch a bright red invitation card, knelt on one knee, and offered it with both hands.

Master Wu took the invitation, dipped a brush into a bottle of bright red liquid, and then began to write a few lines on the invitation.

What he wrote on this invitation was peculiar. He had even included his name and lunar birth date.

“Deliver this invitation. It has my lunar birth date on it,” Master Wu sneered ominously. “Let that Taoist write his name and lunar birth date as well. Tomorrow, I am going to pit against him in a spell duel! Let’s see who curses whom to death! Hehehe~~~”

A curse duel!

This was an extremely dangerous wager!

The duelling parties would exchange their names and lunar birth dates, and then perform the curses to see who could curse the other to death!

One of the servants took the invitation, “Master Wu, I will go immediately. But I’m afraid that the Taoist in that temple might not dare to disclose his name and lunar birth date… And perhaps, he does not have the courage to attend your longevity feast tomorrow.”

“Hehehe~~ He broke my spell yet doesn’t dare to face me head-on? Hehehe~~ No matter, deliver the invitation.” Master Wu’s face was full of malevolence. “As long as he dares to come, I will make sure he doesn’t return! I will refine his soul into a Soul Pill! The Soul Power of a Taoist is far superior to an ordinary person. Turning their souls into Soul Pills makes for an incredibly nourishing holy medicine~~ Hehehe…” Master Wu’s eyes were full of greed.

While speaking, he casually threw the loach charm in his hand.

The next second!

Underneath the sofa, a sea of bloody hands reached out, scrambling to catch the loach charm.

They were a bunch of ghost infants!

These ghost infants were only the size of a full moon, their necks bound with red cords, their white clothes stained red by blood. It was extremely disturbing to see them screeching, their eyes sockets hollow with no eyes yet pouring with dark blood, baring their pointed teeth and grimacing.

The largest of the ghost infants snatched the loach Gu insect and gulped it down, emitting a sharp, wicked laugh.

“Screech~~~” Master Wu screeched once and waved his hand. The flames in the hall went out, and it seemed like all the people and the ghost infants in the hall had retreated, disappeared.

…

City God Temple.

Huang Xiaolong was sitting in the room with Ma Chuxia and others, chatting.

Suddenly.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes slightly narrowed, he said, “Oh? They actually discovered that they were being tracked and even destroyed the loach Gu insect…”

Consequently, Huang Xiaolong nonchalantly laughed. “But it’s okay, I already know his location.”

“Little Long, what are you talking about?” Ma Chuxia asked with a smile.

“Oh, nothing. I am just tracking down an enemy.” Huang Xiaolong replied casually.

An enemy?

Both Ma Chuxia, Xia Ying and the others, were a little surprised – would a powerful being like Huang Xiaolong also have an enemy?

However, they all began to pray for Huang Xiaolong’s enemy, hopefully, he wouldn’t die too miserably! Provoking Huang Xiaolong was a sure death sentence; the only question was how the person would die.

Soon after, a chilling male voice came from the front hall asking, “Is anyone here?”

“This late… in the middle of nowhere, still have devotees coming to offer incense?” Miao Erfang wondered.

Huang Xiaolong laughed, taking the beauties with him towards the front hall.

A dull-looking old man like a stone statue appeared before them, holding an invitation card with vengeful eyes. “May I ask, who cured Mrs. Ding?”

“Oh, that would be me.” Huang Xiaolong answered, smiling faintly.

“Good, very good.” The old man handed him the invitation card, filled with Master Wu’s lunar birth date. “Tomorrow, Master Wu invites you to his longevity feast. Write down your name and lunar birth date clear on the card so I can report back.”

“That’s ridiculous! Why on earth should Little Long give you his lunar birth date?” blurted out Ma Chuxia.

It is known that if one’s lunar birth date falls into the hands of a Taoist or some evildoer, they might as well be handing over their own life.

As an analogy, it’s like a martial artist having their acupoints captured by another!

“Oh, I get it now, you want to have a sorcery duel, exchanging lunar birth dates?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up.

“Let’s not beat around the bush,” the old man gritted his teeth, “Master Wu wants to compete with you in a fair sorcerer’s duel!”

“Master Wu? Oh…that’s right, was it this Master Wu who has been tormenting my wife Aoshan with Gu worms?” Huang Xiaolong asked teasingly.

“How do you know?” The old man was astonished.

“Oh, great, so you admit it. Admit it, that’s good. A sorcerer’s duel, right? I’ll give you my name and lunar birth date. You can bring it back to Master Wu. Tell him I’ll keep my appointment tomorrow,” Huang Xiaolong agreed readily. “I also look forward to this duel. He definitely can’t curse me to death, my life’s fate is too auspicious, ha ha ha ha~~~~”
