Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Huhuhu~

Whoosh whoosh~

The wind blew harder and harder, making the clinic's doors creak.

"Why is the wind blowing so early today?" Xu Siming said with some alarm. "I think I'd better go to my room. I'll leave this place to the two Nine-Star Guards."

As Xu Siming spoke, he prepared to leave the clinic's lobby.

"Dr. Xu, you have to stay. I guarantee your safety." Zhang Jianyun stopped Xu Siming.

"What guarantees do you have?" Xu Siming said, somewhat exasperated.

"The wind has been howling for days, and three patients have died, but you're still perfectly fine," Zhang Jianyun said nonchalantly.

Xu Siming blushed upon hearing this, and after stammering for a while, he glared at Zhang Jianyun and said, "That was before. Can you guarantee I won't get into trouble today?"

"Dr. Xu, if you leave the lobby, the strange thing won't come back. If we don't resolve the strange thing tonight, what will we do if another fatal patient happens again?" Zhang Jianyun patiently advised.

"This~"

Upon hearing this, Xu Siming fell silent and said nothing more. After a moment, he returned to his seat dejectedly.

Whoosh whoosh~

At that moment, the wind violently shook the clinic's doors, trying to blow them open and into the hall.

boom!

Suddenly, the clinic's doors were blown open by a strong gust of wind, which instantly blew in, shaking all the tables and chairs in the hall.

The oil lamps in the hall swayed in the strong wind, their light flickering and casting a shaky glow throughout the hall.

call out!

Liu Fei hurriedly took out the compass, and saw the compass needle spinning rapidly.

Seeing the unusual state of the compass, Zhang and Liu exchanged a glance, confirming that there was indeed something strange about this place.

In an instant, the two men tensed up and silently drew their fish-patterned knives from their waists.

Huhuhu~

The wind blowing into the hall suddenly became much gentler, as if welcoming their owner.

While keeping a close eye on the entrance to the clinic's lobby, Zhang and Liu also rapidly scanned the entire hall out of the corner of their eyes, trying to figure out what kind of vessel the Serpent Master would use to arrive.

The wind softened, the oil lamps stopped flickering, and the light in the hall returned to normal.

Just then, Xu Siming's body began to tremble rapidly, and his face quickly turned black.

Zhang and Liu were greatly alarmed upon seeing this.

"No way, the vessel for the Serpent Master is actually Xu Siming?" Liu Fei exclaimed in shock, raising his knife repeatedly, intending to slash at Xu Siming. "Why would Xu Siming abandon his good job as a physician to collude with monsters?"

Liu Fei wanted to get rid of Xu Siming, but he didn't act immediately. He wanted to wait for the Serpent Master to arrive so he could kill him and obtain the Heart Crystal.

"Ahhh~"

After Xu Siming roared a few times in pain, the veins on his forehead bulged, his face turned completely black, his eyes began to change color, and his body began to swell.

Ah!

Before long, Xu Siming's body became bloated and floated into the air, his eyes turning blood red.

"Snake Master, how dare you cause trouble in my Cangxi Town!" Zhang Jianyun stood with his knife in hand, looking at Snake Master with an icy expression.

Hehehe~

"This is a blessing bestowed upon me by Heaven. If I do not take it, I will be punished by Heaven," the Serpent Master said in a sinister tone.

Zhang and Liu were now positioned to the left and right of the Serpent Master, ready to launch an attack.

"The only destiny Heaven has given you is to come to my Cangxi Town to light lamps for the sick and draw their life force for your own use? I'm afraid this is not Heaven's will." As Zhang Jianyun spoke, he kept adjusting his position, beginning to determine the point of attack.

"Who told Xu Siming to use snake skin as medicine when he was sick? It just so happens that the snake skin has my markings on it, which allowed me to invade Xu Siming's mind and prepare to make him my vessel so that I could descend here," the Snake Master said smugly. "You Nine Star Guards didn't kill Xu Siming immediately, weren't you waiting for my arrival? You wanted to kill this incarnation of mine to obtain the Heart Crystal? I'll test your strength and see if you have the ability to take my Heart Crystal."

hiss~

As soon as the Snake Master finished speaking, his head suddenly stretched out and flicked out his forked tongue to attack Zhang Jianyun.

laugh!

Zhang Jianyun drew his sword and slashed at the snake's forked tongue.

The snake's tongue made a turn in the air to dodge the attack, then returned to its trajectory and shot straight at Zhang Jianyun.

Call ~

Zhang Jianyun bent his knees and leaned back to dodge, then leaped and slashed the Snake Master's head with a single stroke.

At the same time, Liu Fei also slashed at the Snake Master's neck.

hum!

Suddenly, Xu Siming's two arms transformed into two large snakes, one green and one white, which then coiled around Zhang and Liu.

At the same time, Xu Siming's hair flew high, and after a spiral in the air, each strand of hair turned into a snake's forked tongue, attacking Zhang and Liu.

Chi Chi Chi!

While Zhang and Liu were constantly dodging the large blue and white snakes, they swiftly swung their swords and cut off the snake's forked tongue that had transformed from their hair.

At this moment, the snake master's own forked tongue separated Zhang and Liu, and he provocatively attacked one of them.

"The Nine Star Guards sent you guys to deal with me? It seems the fear of being dominated by monsters has disappeared from this world." Snake Tongue muttered to itself, seemingly disappointed.

Chi Chi Chi!

At that moment, Zhang Jianyun cut off his hair, which had transformed into snake tongues, and lured the large green snake that had attacked him to coil around the pillars of the hall.

call out!

Just as Zhang Jianyun was about to kill the green snake while it was coiled around the beam, the Snake Master suddenly swung his forked tongue and struck the beam, knocking it down and freeing the green snake.

squeak~

The hall, having lost a pillar, swayed a few times before coming to a stop.

hiss~

The Snake Master was somewhat annoyed. He waved his forked tongue and attacked Zhang Jianyun simultaneously with the green snake. The forked tongues that had turned into hair shot towards Zhang Jianyun's head.

"Be careful of the clouds!"

Liu Fei was shocked to see this and tried to break free from the white snake's attack to help Zhang Jianyun, but he was tightly entangled by the white snake.

"You have received 50/480 hostility points from the Serpent King."

Faced with attacks from all directions, Zhang Jianyun broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't have time to pay attention to the system's notification sounds. His eyes quickly scanned his surroundings, searching for a way out.

At this moment, the constables outside the clinic turned pale upon seeing the battle taking place in the hall.

"Boss, should we go in and help?" a young constable asked Jiang Gulin nervously.

Jiang Gulin shook his head in despair: "Going in is suicide. Go to Cangxi Pavilion and ask for reinforcements for the two of them."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the junior constable quickly ran towards the Cangxi Pavilion's headquarters.

Inside the clinic's lobby, Zhang Jianyun suddenly leaped up, tilting his body in mid-air, and thrust his sword towards Snake Master's neck.

snort!

Snake Master snorted coldly, his eyes flickering slightly. He hadn't expected that Zhang Jianyun would choose to leap up and attack him head-on when faced with a barrage of attacks.

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

Zhang Jianyun had no way out, so he had no choice but to launch a fierce attack on the Snake Master's neck. He believed that as long as he killed the Snake Master, all the snakes attacking him, whether they were forked tongues or green snakes, would instantly lose their power.

Snake Master's gaze shifted from flickering to disdain, and then he moved with lightning speed, easily dodging Zhang Jianyun's attack.

call out!

However, at this very moment, Zhang Jianyun threw a punch at the head of the Snake Master with his left hand.
