Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 921 16: Showdown (Part 3)

"Why did he attack us?"

Meng Qianqian asked bluntly.

Ji Li suddenly raised his eyes, looking solemnly at Lan Yeyue, "Yes, why is that? Did your Medicine King Valley do something to the Grand Marshal?"

Lan Yeyue's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, "I... I didn't do anything to him..."

"You didn't, but your father did."

Meng Qianqian said seriously, "Your father used Chu Nan. While helping him become a Medicine Man, he also gave him medicine to control him. The dosage of this medicine wasn't large, so Chu Nan didn't notice it at first. But over time, once the medicine took effect, it was irreversible."

Ji Li asked coldly, "Is this really the case?"

Lan Yeyue opened her mouth.

Tan'er put her hands on her hips and stamped her foot, "Medicine King Valley, how despicable you are!"

Ji Li said sarcastically, "Your Medicine King Valley really never does unprofitable business!"

Lan Yeyue couldn't defend herself and was in a dilemma of self-blame when Meng Qianqian suddenly spoke, "Mao Tu, dodge!"

Lan Yeyue was startled.

Unfortunately, she reacted a step too slow, and Chu Nan struck her shoulder with his palm.

She spat out blood and crashed into the stone wall.

Ji Li frowned.

Meng Qianqian hurried over, tapped her acupoints, sealed her heart meridian with a silver needle, and fed her two pills for her injuries.

However, Lan Yeyue kept coughing up blood, and her breath quickly weakened.

As if that wasn't bad enough, Chu Nan's second strike injured Tan'er.

"Tan'er!"

Meng Qianqian's expression changed drastically.

Ji Li looked grave, "His aura seems even stronger now..."

Meng Qianqian looked at the scattered medicinal powder on the ground, "The medicine has a problem. It temporarily stabilized Chu Nan, but actually triggered his demonic nature. Chu Nan... is even more uncontrollable."

And more terrifying.

Ji Li put away the Compass, "You guys go first, I'll hold him off."

"No."

Meng Qianqian firmly refused, "You are no match for Chu Nan, and you can't bring yourself to harm him."

For once, Ji Li didn't argue with Meng Qianqian.

Whether he was a match or not was one thing, but he truly couldn't bring himself to harm Chu Nan.

Meng Qianqian said, "Tan'er is injured, buy me some time first."

Ji Li clenched his fist, "Understood."

Ji Li charged towards Chu Nan.

Meng Qianqian quickly fed Tan'er some medicine.

In the current situation, it was no longer about whether Ji Li could hold off Chu Nan to let them leave first, but Tan'er and Lan Yeyue were both seriously injured and couldn't leave at all.

Ji Li and Chu Nan exchanged a blow, and he was forced back over ten steps, barely stabilizing himself with a strong dodge.

Chu Nan leaped up, kneeing towards Ji Li's chin.

Meng Qianqian waved her hand, releasing two silver needles.

Though she managed to push Chu Nan back, it also left her dizzy and lightheaded.

"Little Yin Hu!"

Ji Li gritted his teeth, "Who let you make a move? Just wait on the side!"

Waiting wasn't possible; Chu Nan was already enraged by Meng Qianqian and charged toward her.

He struck Meng Qianqian's shoulder with a palm.

Thanks to the Heavenly Silkworm Silk Armor given by Liu Muye, she didn't sustain any internal injuries, but it made her feel even worse.

Lan Yeyue, using what little strength she had left, shouted, "Chu Nan, you've gone mad... stop... you'll regret it if you hurt her..."

Chu Nan turned his palm into a fist and punched toward Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian sidestepped to avoid it.

The fist hit the stone wall behind her, creating a huge hole.

Ji Li flew in to tackle him, but was sent flying with a punch.

Ji Li's heart meridian was damaged, "This Inner Strength... Mao Tu... what exactly did your Medicine King Valley do to him... why is he so much stronger than the other Medicine Men..."

Lan Yeyue choked, "I... I..."

Meng Qianqian said, "Don't blame Mao Tu, she doesn't know either."

Lan Yeyue turned her face away and murmured, "I don't need you to speak for me."

After a pause, she said to Ji Li, "Attack his Baihui acupoint!"

Ji Li, "Why didn't you say there was a weak point earlier—"

Before he could finish, he was grabbed by the neck by Chu Nan, who had appeared beside him in a flash.

Lan Yeyue was startled.

She had spent almost every day with Chu Nan, watching him become a Medicine Man, yet she had never realized his power had grown to such terrifying levels.

Her father...

At this thought, she almost bit her lips bloody.

Meng Qianqian's silver needle shot out towards Chu Nan once more.

Chu Nan took a hit, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Meng Qianqian.

At that moment, Si Snake, Meng Lang, and Yu Zichuan arrived.

The three of them scanned the chaotic scene, seeing Ayimulan lying in a pool of blood, the seriously injured Lan Yeyue, the unconscious Tan'er... and a man wearing armor.

Si Snake recognized this armor.

His eyes flickered.

Meng Qianqian, "It's Chu Nan."

Si Snake's expression froze for a moment before he regained his calm.

Immediately, he raised his hand, targeting Chu Nan's back.

Meng Lang and Yu Zichuan attacked from both sides.

The three formed an encirclement around Chu Nan.
