Chapter 743: Iron-armored Beast (Part 1)
Jiang Ren was tremendously shaken.
With disbelief written all over his face, he looked at the young man before him and said, "You, you've figured it all out?"
"Nonsense! If it had been a bite, with the Iron-armored Beast's teeth, your son's leg would have been torn off alive..."
Hearing this.
Jiang Ren knew he could no longer hide it and knelt down with a plop.
"It's all my fault, all my fault... it's all me..."
Fang Yu snorted coldly and said:
"You call yourself a father? I guess you wanted your son to embark on the path of cultivation early, so you extracted essence blood from the Iron-armored Beast to try to change his physique and meridians. But you ended up being clever only to make things worse, accidentally poisoning him. Am I right?"
Jiang Ren hung his head, his face full of shame.
Hearing Fang Yu's words.
Song Gusheng, standing nearby, opened his eyes wide and cursed, "Well done, Jiang Ren, so it was you making all the mischief... I wouldn't have agreed to meet you had I known you were still conducting experiments on humans. You have the nerve to talk to me about purging the sect. I am your senior, it should be me who purifies the sect on behalf of our master!"
Human experiments?
Fang Yu turned his head and glanced at Song Gusheng, asking, "What exactly happened?"
Song Gusheng sighed and said slowly,
"This has to start from when Jiang Ren and I entered the Xuan Sect to study medical skills... Back then, Jiang Ren and I stood out in the sect, learning any medical skills quickly, understanding instantly. Afterwards, relying on his medical talents, Jiang Ren felt that there was no medical skill in the Xuan Sect that could baffle him. And it was true, he could master any medical skill after learning it only once. Later on, to satisfy his quest for knowledge, he went to the Scripture Pavilion of Xuan Sect and found a book on human experimentation. This... was the turning point of his life. He studied the forbidden book and was expelled from the Xuan Sect by our master. Considering his still decent nature and his talent, our master didn't expel him from the sect.
"Unexpectedly... He didn't change his ways and conducted the experiment on his own son. Jiang Ren, you're worse than a beast!" Song Gusheng rebuked while throwing his hands up.
Jiang Ren's face turned red, utterly speechless.
Fang Yu's gaze once again fell on Jiang Ren, and after glancing at Song Gusheng, he said, "You probably don't know that human experimentation is not any medical skill! Human experimentation became a significant focus in Japan in the middle of the last century. At that time, Huaxia's spiritual energy was at its weakest. With foreign invaders and widespread devastation... human experimentation is essentially gene modification. Jiang Ren, when your master taught you medical skills, did he ever tell you this saying: 'The Way of Heaven revolves, there is cause and effect in the world'?"
Both were stunned.
Fang Yu continued, "Certainly humans can conquer nature, but some things are preordained from the start... If one oversteps their capabilities and forcibly defies the heavens, it will only end in mutual destruction."
Upon hearing these words.
Jiang Ren slumped to the ground, his face blank.
After a lengthy silence, he said, "Now, all I ask is for my son to live well, as long as he lives, even if it means I descend to the eighteenth level of hell..."
"Your son can still be saved... His internal organs have been corroded, but this can be repaired. The condition is... to find the Iron-armored Beast." Fang Yu said.
"You really can save my son?" Jiang Ren asked, surprised.
Up to this point.
Song Gusheng stepped forward and kicked him over, cursing, "You still dare to doubt Mr. Fang's medical skills at this point, your lifetime of medical study... what, all for nothing?"
"I?" Jiang Ren's face turned even redder.
Song Gusheng warned again,
"This is my last warning to you... If you dare show disrespect to Mr. Fang again, I will be the first to not spare you!"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and stood aside.
Fang Yu said softly,
"Alright..."
His voice paused, his gaze landing on Jiang Ren, "Actually, I have absolutely no obligation or reason to save your son. Even if I were an incompetent doctor, it would be none of your business, right? After all, your son is bound to die."
With these words.
Jiang Ren's mind buzzed, going blank.
Right, the man has no obligation to save his son.
Even if the man were an incompetent doctor, what could you do?
Upon this thought.
Jiang Ren knelt to the ground, crawling and pleading: "I implore Mr. Fang to save my son's life... I am willing to do anything if you can save him!"
"I was rash and rude before, and afterward, I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"
His words were righteous and sincere.
Fang Yu chuckled and said, "I am not saving him because of you, but because of... the Iron-armored Beast. Tell me, where did you encounter the Iron-armored Beast?"
Song Gusheng also found it strange and asked, "Mr. Fang, why not save the person first before discussing this? The Iron-armored Beast is a dangerous animal... it's best not to touch it."
"To save him, we must find the Iron-armored Beast. In this world, all things have their antidote. The poison comes from the Iron-armored Beast, and the antidote will naturally be found on it too. Once we find the antidote and suppress the poison, he'll live. As for the internal organs, I can use acupuncture and Primordial Qi to regenerate them."
"Regenerate?" Song Gusheng swallowed his saliva.
"Indeed... It's the most basic ability of anyone beyond the Saint rank."
Both were thoroughly shaken.
Jiang Ren hurriedly kowtowed: "Previously I was blind to greatness before me, I implore Mr. Fang's forgiveness. As long as Mr. Fang saves my son, I am willing to die right here as a token of my gratitude!"
Swoosh!
A dagger appeared in Jiang Ren's hand.
Fang Yu raised his hand, and a burst of Gang Qi shot out, with a bang, the dagger fell.
"If you die, who will take care of your son? I don't keep freeloaders here... Now tell me, where is the Iron-armored Beast?"
Jiang Ren's face was full of shame as he said, "In my backyard... a Secret Realm has appeared there!"
"As expected, a Secret Realm. What are you waiting for? Take your son and set off at once."
The three of them hurriedly left the Fang Family.
They took a car towards the suburbs.
Along the way, they saw a city full of wounds.
Dirty, disordered, and chaotic.
Maintaining even basic order was already difficult.
On each street, there were people armed with guns ensuring safety.
At dusk.
Fang Yu, Song Gusheng, and Jiang Ren arrived at a town.
Fang Yu chose to come here because he wanted to confirm the true use of the Heavenly Gang Gold Needle.
Under Jiang Ren's guidance.
They arrived at the backyard of Jiang Ren's house.
Just as Jiang Ren had described... In his backyard, there truly appeared an entrance to a Secret Realm vortex.
Standing in the backyard like a ripple of emerald water.
To prevent it from being discovered, Jiang Ren had covered it with a lot of debris.
"Mr. Fang, the Iron-armored Beast came out of this Secret Realm," Jiang Ren pointed at the Secret Realm.
Fang Yu said, "Hmm. Find some pork, put a bit of alcohol on it, to attract the Iron-armored Beast."
"Ah?" Jiang Ren was startled.
"Just do it!"
"The Iron-armored Beast is extremely ferocious... One that previously escaped bit people everywhere, causing countless deaths and injuries. Doing this... wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Jiang Ren said.
"Do as I say!" Fang Yu said sternly.
