Xu Nan and Bai Jiao, the two beauties, smiled.

Shen Qiang, however, shook his head, not taking it seriously. In fact, it was only when he was almost at this place that he encountered Bai Jiao and Xu Nan—they had clearly received the news and had come specifically to help.

But Shen Qiang had never wanted to be indebted to the two for personal grudges from beginning to end.

Moreover, the more important point was that Shen Qiang had seen Xiu Ju of the Dark Department take action.

Even the masters of the Yin Soul Realm had no power to fight back in front of her.

With her around, and now with Shen Qiang possessing the fully evolved Tuberculosis Bacteria, as well as the Divine Skill-like Fury, he was not afraid of Life-extending Hall at all.

In the midst of everyone's silence, Shen Qiang stepped forward, gave the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall a glance, and then said indifferently, "You should be well aware of my intentions, no need for useless talk. My purpose here is to smash Life-extending Hall's signboard and drive you out of Provincial City."

"So let's not waste everyone's time. Let's begin. I will be using the 'Little Plum Blossom Needle Technique' to crush the signboard of Life-extending Hall."

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall furrowed his brows deeply.

Zhong Yongxi, standing behind Shen Qiang, watched Shen Qiang's back with bright, clear eyes.

"Domineering! Worthy of being the Martial Uncle!"

At this moment, so many people were standing by the roadside that not only were passersby staring, a police car also drove by. The officers in the car parked by the roadside, and while speaking into the walkie-talkie, they unabashedly watched the scene unfold.

"Guests have arrived, let's talk inside."

Having said that, he turned with a gloomy face and entered Life-extending Hall.

Shen Qiang slightly smiled and followed him inside with his entourage nonchalantly.

The scale of Life-extending Hall was clearly much larger than that of the Zhong Family Clinic.

The architectural style was originally based on that of a hospital.

So when almost two hundred people entered the hall, it didn't seem crowded at all.

However, at this moment, the overall atmosphere had lost its previous ease and arrogance.

Whether it was the people of Life-extending Hall or the representatives of the medical families who had come earlier, everyone remained silent, creating an unusually oppressive atmosphere.

"Shall we begin?"

Shen Qiang smiled lightly.

Turning back, the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall, who had taken the seat of honor, looked at Shen Qiang, deliberately avoiding looking at Xu Nan and Bai Jiao.

After about five seconds of silence, he took a deep breath and said in all seriousness, "There's no need to compare. When it comes to acupuncture technique, our Life-extending Hall has no chance of winning against you."

Shen Qiang smiled and said calmly.

"Zhong Yongxi, go and smash their signboard for me."

Zhong Yongxi, with eyes full of excitement, eagerly agreed and turned to go smash the signboard.

It was at this moment that the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall shouted, "Wait! Today, I admit that no one in Life-extending Hall is better at acupuncture technique than you, Shen Qiang, but you are not going to be able to smash our signboard, and neither will the people from the Zhong Family come at me—even the representatives of all twenty-seven medical families in the province have arrived."

"Unless two-thirds, that is, at least eighteen families, agree that Life-extending Hall's signboard should be smashed, you are allowed to smash it. Otherwise, no matter who it is, if they dare to touch our signboard, then we can only resolve this through battle."

"You're trying to scare me?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Zhong Yongxi, come back, I'll do it myself."

Having said that, Shen Qiang turned and headed straight for the signboard of Life-extending Hall.

It was then that the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall said loudly, "Shen Qiang! Before you insist on taking action, today, there is another creditor who wants to settle accounts with you. Shouldn't you clear this debt with him first?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned.

At the same time, there was a loud thump as a photo of He Pangzi was placed on the table in the hall.

Then Shen Qiang saw a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to He Pangzi step forward.

Shen Qiang frowned as he looked at him.

Seeing this situation, the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall scoffed and said, "Without rules, there is no circle. In Jianghu, what matters are the words 'morality' and 'righteousness.' To repay debts, to atone for murder—the heir of He's Bone Setting perished after competing with Shen Qiang in Bone Setting; this account must be settled."

Xu Nan and Bai Jiao frowned as if they had something to say.

The Hall Master of Life-extending Hall quickly interjected, "Even if you are the leader of the Cultivation World, even if you are the number one cultivator, you cannot ignore reason. The enmity of a murdered son is unbearable; such personal grievances must be avenged by anyone with the slightest conscience."

Liu Mei raised her eyebrows and said harshly, "Who can prove that the heir of He's Bone Setting was killed by Shen Qiang?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, and the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall laughed, "The two of them competed in Bone Setting, and afterwards, Shen Qiang was unharmed while the heir of the He family died. The implication is clear."

Bai Jiao said coldly, "There must be evidence in all things. Without real proof, I advise you to better watch what you say."

The Hall Master of Life-extending Hall scoffed, "Our Life-extending Hall might be ants in the presence of prosperity and Cheng Xinyi, but nothing escapes this principle."

Bai Jiao's pretty face turned frosty, just about to speak.

At this moment, Shen Qiang, looking at He Pangzi's father, frowned and said, "Shut up, I killed He Pangzi."

Instantly, everyone present widened their eyes.

The Hall Master of Life-extending Hall said with jubilation, "Good that you admit it. Murder begets execution, debts must be repaid—it's only natural."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and said nonchalantly, "Tsk tsk, what good calculation and it sounds so righteous, but I'm telling you now, Shen Qiang admits to killing He Pangzi because he deserved to die!"

Looking at He Pangzi's father, Shen Qiang said coldly, "If you want revenge, I welcome you to come at me. Bring one, and I, Shen Qiang, will kill one; bring two, and I'll kill a pair. If I even frown, I won't consider myself a man."

Listening to Shen Qiang's words, Bai Jiao's beautiful eyes immediately lit up, "Dominant! To kill someone and still speak so righteously!"

Surprise filled Xu Nan's beautiful eyes, and then she smiled.

"This guy is really unexpected."

At the same time, He Pangzi's teary-eyed father said, "When I came here, I never expected to return alive! Today, I am here to avenge my son's death! No matter how much you talk of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, no matter how eloquently you argue, if I don't avenge my son today, I refuse to be human!"

Having said this, He Pangzi's father suddenly turned his head, looked at the Hall Master of Life-extending Hall, and said, "Hall Master, may I use the large screen in your hall?"

The Hall Master of Life-extending Hall, just as confused as everyone else, didn't understand what He Pangzi's father intended to do, but he immediately nodded anyway.

Suddenly, He Pangzi's father didn't even look at Shen Qiang but flicked his hand, took out a USB drive, connected it to the large screen in the hall, and began to play it.

The image flashed, and He Pangzi appeared on the screen. He looked solemn and was silent for a full three seconds before saying, "Dad, if you are watching this video, it means I'm probably already dead. Don't be sad, don't cry because this is a decision I made after careful consideration."

He Pangzi looked at the camera with a sigh and after a moment of silence, said, "I have a new colleague named Shen Qiang. He's incredible, skilled in the Acupuncture Technique of Flowers Opening Nine Branches—amazing! His existence threatened Life-extending Hall, and all of their people sent me to compete with him in Bone Setting."

At this point, He Pangzi laughed, "But I am well aware, even if I beat Shen Qiang using Bone Setting, it wouldn't mean that the Acupuncture Technique is inferior. So, I guess Life-extending Hall sending me to compete with Shen Qiang in Bone Setting is just a ruse, and their people would likely kill Shen Qiang after our competition."
