Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Heart-Devouring Gu_1
In the medical tome of the primordial chaos, the records on gu techniques were exceedingly comprehensive.
Moreover, the means to counter each type of gu technique were all clearly understood by Ye Fei.
Presently, the young Miss of the Zhu Family had been afflicted with a rather special gu, known as the Heart-Eating Gu.
This gu technique required the caster to first cultivate a type of gu called Bloodline Worms in a specific way.
Then, they would implant this thing into the body of the person affected, achieving the effect of gradually damaging the heart meridians over many years.
Eventually, it would cause the blood supply throughout the body of the afflicted person to be insufficient, leading to gradual paralysis and even death.
This was the reason why the young Miss of the Zhu Family had been paralyzed in bed for three years.
Although Divine Doctor Li’s treatment method of promoting blood circulation couldn’t completely cure the gu technique, it could at least help alleviate the condition.
But the result turned out to be the exact opposite. Not only did Miss Zhu’s condition not improve, it worsened into a vegetative state, barely clinging to life.
Therefore, there was only one possibility left—someone did not want Miss Zhu to get better, they even wanted to take the opportunity to end her life!
With this analysis in mind, Ye Fei felt he was well prepared.
Just as he was about to start removing the gu, a stern rebuke came from outside the door.
"You bunch of quacks, aren’t you satisfied with how badly you’ve harmed Yueyue yet?"
With a bang, the door was flung open.
A beautiful woman barged in from the outside.
The beautiful woman was not old, looking to be under thirty, dressed in luxurious, glittering finery.
However, amidst the corners of her eyes and brows, a compelling sinister aura faintly lingered.
This caught Ye Fei’s attention.
"Husband! I heard this guy and that old fool are from the same medical hall?"
"How can you be so foolish? Look what they did to Yueyue, how can you still trust them!"
Zhu Guangbo showed a troubled expression, "Yueyue’s condition is getting more and more serious. Since the other doctors can’t cure her, why not let him try?"
"Try what?"
The beautiful woman stamped her foot, "Just look at this guy’s age, he probably hasn’t even graduated from college yet. You’re letting a trainee have a go? Isn’t this joking with Yueyue’s life?!"
The beautiful woman was entangled in a quarrel with Zhu Guangbo.
Ye Fei overheard their conversation.
This enchanting and slightly sinister beautiful woman was named Lanxi, Zhu Guangbo’s young and favored wife.
But these were obviously not the things that Ye Fei was concerned about.
What caught Ye Fei’s interest the most was that this woman named Lanxi, not only had a beautiful appearance, but her skin was also exceptionally clear and smooth.
But her hands alone were slightly blackened, appearing somewhat out of place.
Especially those ten glossy black painted nails, which raised more doubts in Ye Fei’s mind.
Under his young wife’s persuasion, Zhu Guangbo wavered and was about to ask Ye Fei to stop the treatment.
However, Ye Fei was one step ahead.
He swiftly pulled up Zhu Ziyue’s clothes, drew out several silver needles like lightning, and inserted them into a few vital acupoints.
Following that, he pressed both palms on the chest, and streams of invisible True Qi instantly flowed inward through the struck acupoints, entering the body.
Seeing this scene, Lanxi flew into a rage.
"What are you guys standing there for like a bunch of logs? Don’t you see this pervert taking advantage of the situation to grope the young lady? Seize him!"
The steward and the four expert bodyguards finally came to their senses, leaping forward to restrain Ye Fei.
At this critical moment in the treatment, how could Ye Fei allow others to interfere?
Just as the five were about to lay hands on him, he casually raised a palm and swept it around him.
Bang, bang, bang...!
Out of nowhere, five muffled thuds echoed as the steward and the four expert bodyguards were sent flying backward several meters.
Barely standing, their internal organs churned, and they almost vomited blood on the spot.
Zhu Guangbo was also instantly intimidated by Ye Fei’s formidable strength.
He hadn’t expected that someone so young could possess such terrifying power!
He had thought that Ye Fei’s victory in the previous Qian Yuan competition was just a fluke.
Now it seemed that the title of champion was indeed well-deserved!
Shocked as he was,
Zhu Guangbo could not simply watch his daughter being groped by someone else.
Clenching his fists, he was ready to join the fray personally.
"Ah! Ah!...Oh!"
However, just at that moment, Zhu Ziyue’s body suddenly convulsed violently.
Then, like a reanimated corpse, she sat up abruptly.
She vomited a pool of foul-smelling black blood.
For a moment,
Zhu Guangbo was stunned.
Divine Doctor Li was stunned.
The nurses and servants were stunned.
The steward and four expert bodyguards were stunned.
Everyone present was stunned!
Because they clearly saw that within that pool of black blood,
There were numerous white worms about a meter long as thin as steel wire, writhing frantically and emitting sharp squeaking sounds.
And Miss Zhu of the Zhu Family, after spewing out the black blood, regained consciousness completely.
She weakly called out, "Dad!"
"Eh! My precious daughter, you’ve finally awakened!"
Zhu Guangbo cried tears of joy, rushing forward in a few quick strides, and hugged his daughter tightly in his arms.
As the room was immersed in a mix of shock and joy, Ye Fei felt a cold and malicious gaze fixed on him, staring intently.
