Chapter 103: Chapter 105: Marvelously Skilled
Chapter One Hundred and Five
Ye Zhentian was aware of his own illness.
But he didn't believe Long Xiaoshan could actually cure him.
What he had was a terminal illness.
However, Long Xiaoshan's defiant attitude impressed Ye Zhentian, not to mention that Long Xiaoshan was an Ancient Martial Arts Descendant; considering he had at most a few months to live,
Making acquaintance with an Ancient Martial Arts Descendant could greatly benefit the Ye Family's future.
An Ancient Martial Arts Descendant was not a common cabbage.
Not something one could stumble upon at any time.
With this in mind, he laughed heartily and said, "Young brother, do you know what illness I have?"
Long Xiaoshan spoke indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, Elder Ye, you have hepatocellular carcinoma, and it has reached the late stages of metastasis; if you're to be treated by conventional methods, it's impossible for you to live beyond three months."
Ye Zhentian's mind was jolted.
Long Xiaoshan's diagnosis was incredibly accurate.
Even down to how long he could live, which was the same as what a famous doctor in Capital City had told him.
And this was just from Long Xiaoshan taking a glance without even taking his pulse.
Since Long Xiaoshan could pinpoint the illness so precisely, he evidently had the skills, and knowing this illness so well yet claiming he could treat it gave Ye Zhentian a sliver of hope; even if the illness wasn't cured, extending his life for a bit longer would still be beneficial for the Ye Family.
Long Xiaoshan then said, "There's no time to lose, Elder Ye, let's begin now."
"Good!" Ye Zhentian agreed readily.
Huang Hu, standing at the doorway, twitched his lips as if he wanted to say something,
But was directly silenced by Ye Zhentian's gaze.
"Younger brother, how will you treat it?"
"Elder Ye, just take off your shirt."
Ye Zhentian nodded, promptly took off his clothes, revealing his upper body scarred with numerous marks and traces of several bullet wounds.
Long Xiaoshan squinted, touched the area around Ye Zhentian's lumbar spine, and said, "Elder Ye, you have a bullet lodged inside here, don't you?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Correct, it was left inside by the Japanese during the war," Elder Ye revealed.
"Your liver cancer is related to this bullet; because it was left inside and not removed, the toxins from inside it have been eroding the area for years, which led to the cancer."
"Younger brother, you have great eyesight indeed; the doctors said the same thing, but this bullet is stuck in a critical spot no one dares to remove. The difficulty is too great, once removed, it could damage my nerves and leave me immediately paralyzed."
"Others may not be able to remove it, but I can," Long Xiaoshan said with a confident tone.
Elder Ye's eyes narrowed.
Frankly, he was hesitant.
If it wasn't removed, he still had a few months to live.
If it was removed, he could potentially be paralyzed on the spot.
However, upon seeing Long Xiaoshan's calm and proud gaze, Ye Zhentian clenched his fist tightly and said, "Alright, do you need an operating room? I'll arrange it."
Long Xiaoshan shook his head and picked up a dinner Knife from the table, "We can do it right now."
"What are you doing, put down the knife," Huang Hu stood up nervously.
"Huang Hu, stand down," Ye Zhentian stood up and said, "Brother Long, I entrust my life to you."
Ye Zhentian had made up his mind.
He only had a few months left to live, anyway.
It was worth taking the risk, as one doesn't encounter a true master every day.
"Elder Ye," Huang Hu yelled, "This is too frivolous."
"Enough, you stand back. I've been through a hail of bullets before; I'm not afraid of this little Knife," Ye Zhentian declared with domineering confidence.
"Alright!"
Admiration flickered in Long Xiaoshan's eyes, "Just for Elder Ye's words, I guarantee you can live another twenty years."
"I'll take your auspicious words,"
Ye Zhentian laughed heartily.
Long Xiaoshan returned to Ye Zhentian's side and had Ye Zhentian lie down on a chair. He took out the Life-and-Death Needle from his middle finger, plunged it into the spot near Ye Zhentian's spine, then grabbed the dinner Knife, sterilized it with True Qi, and without hesitation, made an incision.
Blood gushed out instantly.
Huang Hu's face turned white with nervousness, wishing he could rush forward, but he feared that interrupting now would only interfere with Long Xiaoshan's work.
Of course, Long Xiaoshan wasn't concerned with what Huang Hu was thinking.
After making an incision in Ye Zhentian's skin, he pressed his hand near the cut, with True Qi flowing to protect those delicate nerves and blood vessels, and then used True Qi to painstakingly peel off the nerves adhered to the bullet.
A few minutes later, the bullet was detached.
Long Xiaoshan exhaled a breath of True Qi.
Puff!
A bloody bullet flew out from Ye Zhentian's body.
With his left hand, Long Xiaoshan caught the bullet and nonchalantly tossed it onto a plate. Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
Immediately after, his hands fluttered like butterflies, and under the effect of the Golden Needle, the bleeding stopped quickly.
With continuous catalysis by the True Qi, the wound also began to heal rapidly.
Gu Jingheng and the others watched as if witnessing a miracle.
About ten minutes later, the wound had closed up.
Long Xiaoshan said, "Elder Ye, you can get up now."
Ye Zhentian sat up, somewhat dazed, "Is it already healed?"
He had not even felt any pain just now.
Long Xiaoshan picked up the plate with the bullet on it and said, "Elder Ye, take a look for yourself."
Looking at the bullet, Ye Zhentian's face revealed a trace of astonishment.
This young man was incredibly skilled.
This bullet, which famed doctors dared not touch and had remained in his body for decades, was removed by Long Xiaoshan with a simple dinner Knife within minutes.
"Elder Ye, I'm about to start treating your cancer. Please sit properly," Long Xiaoshan said.
"Alright, alright," Ye Zhentian promptly sat up straight.
Long Xiaoshan twisted the Life-and-Death Needle, a flash of silver light in his eyes, and pierced it into Ye Zhentian's flank.
