The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Rowing Against the Current Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Rowing Against the Current The “Xuanyuan Ba” who appeared in front of the Xuanyuan Family was naturally “Ji Zhengyu”.

“Hmph! Having inherited the ancient martial arts legacy of Kunlun, it’s not surprising that I can die and come back to life. You are just making a fuss over nothing,” Ji Zhengyu said with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

Xuanyuan Zhou and the others could not spot any flaws, so naturally, they had no doubts.

“It’s wonderful! Heaven has not abandoned our Xuanyuan Family! Ba’er, you actually came back to life!” Xuanyuan Zhou was ecstatic. “Our Xuanyuan Family has its backbone once again! Wonderful! Ba’er!”

Xuanyuan Zhou rushed forward, putting his hands on Ji Zhengyu’s shoulders, almost in tears. “As long as you are alive, that’s good, as long as you are alive, we will not worry about running out of firewood! Ba’er, I know you demand an eye for an eye, but we must plan carefully for this matter, for now, just play along with Huang Xiaolong, my gentleman. A gentleman’s revenge can wait for ten years!”

“Revenge?” The sarcasm in Ji Zhengyu’s eyes became even thicker, mingled with a chilling urge to kill.

“Yes, revenge! But not now! Ba’er, it turns out you haven’t received the strongest inheritance from Kunlun sect either. How about, tomorrow, we climb the snow peak together with Huang Xiaolong and explore the Kunlun secret realm!” There was a strong greed in Xuanyuan Zhou’s eyes.

“Okay then,” Ji Zhengyu nodded indifferently.

‘Hahaha~~ This is hilarious. I’ve actually come back to life as the crown prince of ancient martial arts, Xuanyuan Ba… Hahaha~~~~~’ In his heart, Ji Zhengyu couldn’t stop laughing. ‘The Grandmaster sure knows how to play…’
…

News about the Kunlun secret realm and the strongest inheritance of the Kunlun sect had spread through the Ancient City like a plague.

None of the ten major ancient martial arts families were not coveting it!

Greed confounds wisdom, and not a single martial artist gathered in the Ancient City was willing to leave voluntarily!

All of them were eagerly hoping to climb the snow peak with Huang Xiaolong and get a share of the pie!

Early the next morning.

At the foot of the snow peak, thousands of people were gathered!

Huang Xiaolong, with his wives and members of the Ying Family, stood at the foot of the snow peak, looking up at the peak that reached into the clouds.

This snow peak seemed as if it had fallen from the heavens above, standing solitary among the mountains. Its upper half was close to one thousand meters tall, with steep slopes that offered no possibility of climbing!

Beneath the snow peak, there was an ice lake with a few wooden boats moored at the edge.

“Dear son-in-law, how are we going to climb up the snow peak?” Ying Xiao whispered to Huang Xiaolong. “Previously, Xuanyuan Ba was able to control the wooden boats to slide down from the peak top, which was already like a miracle. But climbing the peak is like sailing against the current, even more impossible… This snow peak is hard for birds to cross, let alone martial artists being able to fly up.”

Huang Xiaolong smiled without replying.

They saw an ice river, like a dragon, pouring down from the peak with turbulent flows, forming whirlpools. The ice river was covered with ice chunks of various sizes. Below the ice river, there was a layer of ice that had not melted for a thousand years.

Indeed, it could be said that climbing the snow peak was nearly impossible.

Huang Xiaolong’s gaze swept across and saw the grandmasters of the ten major ancient martial arts families, all with expressions of trepidation and lost in thought, clearly at a loss.

Furthermore, Ji Zhengyu, who had come back to life using the body of Xuanyuan Ba, stood among the Xuanyuan Family’s camp, surrounded by stars around the moon, which made nearly everyone present turn their heads in shock and horror.

The death of Xuanyuan Ba had been witnessed by everyone, but within one night, he had come back to life!

Could it be that Xuanyuan Ba had an immortal body?

“Xiaolong, what’s the deal with Xuanyuan Ba? I know you’re behind this, the Xuanyuan Ba we are seeing now is not the real one, right?” Ma Chuxia whispered to Huang Xiaolong.

Xia Ying, however, frowned and said, “This is really strange, it doesn’t seem like an imposter. The ‘Xuanyuan Ba’ has True Qi swirling like a tornado and his cultivation is unbelievably strong… Where would Xiaolong find a substitute with such a towering stature in ancient martial arts?”

Yes, after Ji Zhengyu was revived using Xuanyuan Ba’s corpse, he also retained most of Xuanyuan Ba’s True Qi and martial arts skills before his death.

“Young Master Huang, Hanyan believes that you must have a way to ascend the snowy peak, right?” Feng Hanyan was full of confidence in Huang Xiaolong.

“Of course. I’ve said it before, to obtain the strongest heritage of the Kunlun Sect, if I can’t even climb this snowy peak, wouldn’t I be slapping my own face?” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, the scene of Xuanyuan Ba rowing his boat down the mountain briefly flashing through his mind.

The next second, Huang Xiaolong stared solemnly at the raging whirlpools and floating ice on the snowy peak, his mind racing with calculations.

On the other hand, Xuanyuan Zhou was fawning over Ji Zhengyu. “Ba’er, you are more than familiar with this place. Since you’ve descended the peak, you must also be able to ascend… Is there a secret path leading to the mountaintop? How about this, lead our Xuanyuan Family up there! Forget the others! The strongest heritage of the Kunlun Sect, let our Xuanyuan Family monopolize it and claim it as our own!”

Ji Zhengyu spoke with ridicule. “So what if you can reach the mountaintop? Deep within the Kunlun secret realm, there emanates a terrifying aura, even I deeply dread it and dare not take half a step over the line, and if you rush in recklessly, it’s tantamount to seeking death!”

“This~~~~” Xuanyuan Zhou was rendered speechless.

At this moment, Ji Zhengyu looked toward Huang Xiaolong. ‘Grandmaster, your Divine Skills are boundless; surely, you must have already comprehended the method to ascend the peak, right?’
“Hmm~~~ actually, there are many ways for me to reach the mountaintop, but for now, let’s use the simplest and most energy-efficient method.” Huang Xiaolong walked to the lakeside and jumped onto a wooden boat.

Everyone was dumbstruck!

Could it be? Was he really going to row, starting from the bottom and powering through to the summit?

How is that possible?

“Who wants to row up with me?” Huang Xiaolong called out to his wives and the people from the Ying Family.

“Little Long, I’ll go with you!” Ma Chuxia, Xia Ying, Sun Wei, and Jin Mengqi almost stood up simultaneously.

Feng Hanyan, Yan Pianpian, as well as Huang Xiaolong’s slaves were all eager to try.

“This small boat can only accommodate three people. Alright, Sister Bai Hu, little wife, you two come up with me first to have a look,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “The rest of you, pay attention to the way I row.”

“Alright, obedient son-in-law,” Ying Xiao nodded, then ordered the clan members to keep their eyes wide open without blinking, so as to see exactly how Huang Xiaolong was going to row against the current.

People from the other ancient martial families shook their heads one after another.

Although Huang Xiaolong was invincible, sweeping through armies, the idea of ascending this vertical peak by rowing a boat was utterly impossible!

“Hmph! Daydreaming!” Xuanyuan Zhou’s face was filled with a sneer, covered in sarcasm.

After Xuanyuan Ba was revived, the people from the Xuanyuan Family once again began to swagger about.

At this point, Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, and Sun Wei had already boarded the boat, with Huang Xiaolong personally holding an oar, rowing towards the snowy peak.

Thousands of pairs of eyes were intently focused on Huang Xiaolong’s every move.

To see exactly how Huang Xiaolong was going to row against the current!

The boat reached the base of the snowy peak, and suddenly, a fierce current, rapid and forceful, carrying chunks of floating ice, came rushing down towards Huang Xiaolong’s small boat with a crashing sound!

At this point, if Huang Xiaolong didn’t maneuver the boat away to evade, it would surely be torn to shreds by the raging current and ice!

Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly, showing no intention of moving the boat to dodge!
