He looked back and saw an old man with white hair and a white beard, looking like a typical quack.
âMaster Dunn!
âItâs Master Dunn from North Star Mansion three days ago.
âWhy is he here?â
Master Dunn walked over. âDonât kill him yet.â
Rattlesnake frowned. âWhy?â
Master Dunn stared greedily at Clarence. âThis guy knows Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture, and he has the legendary sterling silver cross.â
âWhatâs that?â Rattlesnake and Datura both looked puzzled.
Clarence was taken aback.
âHow does Master Dunn know that I know Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture?
âWhatâs a sterling silver cross? Is it the necklace with a cross around my neck?â
Master Dunn looked at Clarence coldly. âDonât deny it, boy. I was there when you treated Leah.
âI wondered what you had that made you capable of saving Leah despite being so young. It turns out itâs because of Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture.â
Master Dunn looked eager. âTeach me Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture, and Iâll make sure you die fast.
âOtherwise, Iâll make your life a living hell!â
He lifted his hand and took out a black spittoon, which a black insect soon crawled out from. It looked like a mix of a centipede and a millipede.
It was ferocious and terrifying.
Rattlesnake and Datura both took two steps back.
They seemed to be afraid of Master Dunn.
Clarence raised his eyebrows. âDemonic bug?â
Master Dunn smiled darkly. âGood guess, boy. You know a little something.
âThis is my baby. I have fed it blood from my heart, and it has devoured more than ten thousand venomous insects and survived.
âA bite from it makes âa living hellâ sound like nothing.
âYouâll watch your body rot and die.
âNo one in the world will be able to save you.â
Clarence was undaunted. âDo you deserve to learn Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture?
âHow dare you threaten me with this bug? Dream on.â
Master Dunnâs face twitched. âYou may not be afraid of it, but what about your woman?â
He sauntered toward Miranda.
Then, he placed the black spittoon just one foot away from Miranda.
The demonic bug smelled a womanâs blood. It was so excited that it stood on top of the spittoon and hissed.
âAhh...
âTake it away. Hurry and take it away!â
Miranda screamed and trembled. She was almost scared out of her wits.
Clarenceâs eyes were red. âLet go of Miranda.â
âSo you do care about her.â
Master Dunn smiled faintly. The demonic bug moved a little closer to Miranda, the tentacles at the tip of its head brushing across her cheek.
Miranda was stunned.
Clarence could not stand it any longer. âThatâs enough. Iâll teach you.â
Master Dunn put away the demonic bug.
However, Rattlesnake stopped Master Dunn. âThereâs no time, yet you still want to learn medicine now?
âItâs still early, so thereâs still time for us to retreat. Thereâs no way we can escape if the Reed family shows up later.
âKill him and leave now!â
Datura nodded too. âKilling him is indeed the best option.â
Master Dunn was furious. âWhat do you know?
âDo you know what Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture is?
âItâs the most powerful technique in medicine. Even if youâre wounded, I can save you as long as you have one final breath left.â
Rattlesnake seemed unconvinced. âNo way. Thereâs no such thing.â
Seeing that Rattlesnake was doubting him, Master Dunn pointed at Clarence and ordered, âHe was injured before. Come and treat him. Show him what Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture can do.â
Rattlesnake almost leaped up. âOlâ Dunn, have you lost your mind?
âHeâs our enemy. What if he kills me with the treatment?â
Master Dunn sneered. âWhat are you afraid of? If he does anything to you, weâll kill his woman at once.â
Daturaâs eyes glimmered. âMaster Dunn has a point.
âLet him try. If Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture does heal you, youâll get better and stronger.â
Reluctantly, Rattlesnake stepped out of the crowd and looked at Clarence. âBoy, come here.
âJust do as they say.â
Clarence walked over and glanced at Rattlesnake. âI donât have any silver needles. How am I supposed to treat him?â
Rattlesnake grinned as if he had caught Clarenceâs weakness. âI knew you were up to no good. Youâre already considering a treatment plan for me when you havenât even asked me what illness I have.
âSomebody, kill him!â
Clarence said indifferently, âYou were born with albinism. You had smallpox when you were eight or nine and were bitten by a dog when you were twelve. It was on the right side of the ankle of your right foot, and you still limp a little.
âWhen you were in your twenties, you must have been injured from practicing martial arts as you now have a steel pin in your femur.
âYou had a bone fracture in your left forearm.
âYour skull was smashed.
âYour spleen has been stabbed through.
âBecause of martial arts, there are different degrees of problems with your body, liver, kidney, stomach, and heart.â
Clarence continued, âAt this rate, you wonât make it past 50.â
Rattlesnake was stunned.
He looked at Clarence in disbelief.
Clarence had gotten everything right!
He had never told anybody about his smallpox or his dog bite. How could Clarence have known?
Was Clarence really a miracle doctor?
Seeing the expression on Rattlesnakeâs face, Master Dunn and Datura knew Clarence was right.
Rattlesnake asked quickly. âDo you have a cure?â
Clarence nodded. âI do. Weâll make a deal.
âIâll cure you, and youâll let Miranda go.â
Rattlesnake grinned maliciously. âWho are you to bargain with me, boy?
âHurry and cure me, or Iâll kill your woman right now.â
Rattlesnake seemed to have already grasped Clarenceâs weakness. He threatened Clarence with just a whisper.
Clarence shook his head helplessly. âI donât have any silver needles.â
Master Dunn stepped out. âI have some.â
Under threat by Rattlesnake, Clarence began treating him.
Clarence held a silver needle between two fingers and inserted it into Rattlesnakeâs body.
âUm...â
Rattlesnake grunted.
Clarence continued to move very quickly.
Soon, Rattlesnake had a dozen silver needles stuck in his body.
After Clarence inserted the last needle, Rattlesnake spewed black blood.
Datura was stunned. Then, she grew furious. âBoy, how dare you...â
âHahahaha!â Rattlesnake laughed aloud. His voice was loud and strong. âMy internal wounds are all healed.
âThirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture is amazing. I didnât know you had it in you, boy.â
Datura looked at Rattlesnake in surprise. âYouâre alright now?â
Then, she grabbed Clarenceâs arm with a look of excitement. âHurry up and treat me!â
Her body had also accumulated years of underlying illnesses. It was so painful she wanted to kill when they acted up.
Clarence looked reluctant. âAm I supposed to cure you when youâre my enemies?
âI can cure you, but let Miranda go.â
Datura jumped right over to Mirandaâs side.
She pulled out a knife and put it to Mirandaâs neck. âStop with all the crap talk. Iâll kill her if you donât treat me.â
They found that Clarence was obedient whenever they threatened him with Miranda.
Clarence reluctantly treated Daturaâs underlying illnesses.
Ten minutes later.
Datura felt empowered again, all her underlying illnesses seemingly healed.
She was so excited that she took out her whip and whipped it in the air. Her internal energy was intense.
Master Dunn looked proud. âIâm right, arenât I? Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture is powerful.
âClarence, teach me Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture immediately.
âOtherwise, this woman is dead meat.â
Miranda quickly shook her head. âClarence, no. Hurry up and leave. Itâs yours. You canât teach it to outsiders.â
Miranda knew Clarenceâs medical skills depended on it.
She did not want Clarence to teach it to others.
Clarence had done enough for her.
Slap...
Master Dunn slapped Miranda across the face, âShut up! One more word, and Iâll have the demonic bug drain your blood right now.
âAre you going to teach me or not, boy?â
Clarence sighed. âOkay, but Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture is so complicated and such a wide subject that you canât learn it in a short time...â
Master Dunn sneered. âDonât play games with me. If I canât learn it in a short time, then you can teach me slowly.
âIf you dare tell me no, Iâll kill her right now.â
Clarence had no choice but to start teaching Master Dunn Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture.
It took Master Dunn an hour to get a general idea of it.
His eyes were sparkling while his face was red, and he was trembling with excitement.
âSo this is Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture.
âItâs indeed so miraculous that it can do anything.â
His face darkened again, and his eyes fell on the necklace with a cross around Clarenceâs neck. âNow, give me the necklace.â
The necklace with a cross was what Clarence used to save lives....
