Chapter 105 Awakening
"It's good that you dare to admit it,"
Ye Ling glanced at the Medicine King and said coldly.
Then he said to Chen Dao, "Find the silver needles on his body for me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Dao responded, and without concern for the Medicine King's frantic struggles, he started to search through his body!
In just a moment, a packet of silver needles had already appeared in Chen Dao's hands.
Handing the silver needles to Ye Ling, Chen Dao returned to the Medicine King's side, holding down his neck with one hand to prevent his escape.
"What do you want with my silver needles?"
"Don't tell me you're planning to use your mediocre medical skills to treat the Southern Border King?"
"Hmph! Wang Tiezhu, you four as the Southern Border army's four major generals, are you just going to stand by and watch this guy harm the Southern Border King?"
The Medicine King knew he couldn't persuade Ye Ling, so he could only turn his gaze toward Wang Tiezhu and the others, trying to get them to intervene and stop Ye Ling.
No matter how good Ye Ling's medical skills were, seeing his confident demeanor, the Medicine King was still somewhat panicked inside.
Unfortunately, the Medicine King couldn't even dream that Wang Tiezhu and his colleagues had already submitted to Ye Ling, and wouldn't lift a finger against him.
"Enough noise!"
Ye Ling snorted coldly.
Chen Dao immediately understood and slapped the Medicine King across his old face.
With one slap, fresh blood seeped from the corner of the Medicine King's mouth; he became obedient, not daring to babble any longer, afraid of receiving another slap from Chen Dao.
Ye Ling then pulled out the silver needles and turned the Southern Border King over.
The silver needles flashed like light, one after another, landing on the body of the Southern Border King.
In just a few breaths, the Southern Border King's back was filled with silver needles.
As the needles pierced into the body of the Southern Border King, they started to slowly turn black at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, the Medicine King's pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing became a bit more hurried.
"Heh, you quack, you've been unable to cure the Southern Border King for three years, and yet you have the nerve to mock the sir's medical skills!"
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly what true medical skills are!"
"I didn't expect that today, I would finally see the clouds disperse and the moon shine, for Your Grace has finally awakened!"
As he spoke, Medicine King forced two tears from his weathered eyes.
He certainly did not wish for the Southern Border King to wake up. If possible, he would have preferred the Southern Border King to die immediately.
Only with the death of the Southern Border King could these pretender kings of the Southern Border freely show their prowess and vie for domination of the region!
As long as the Southern Border King was alive for even a day, they dared not act too rashly, for the Southern Border King was the true ruler of the Southern Border.
"I remember now, three years ago I ventured alone into the Witch Gate but was no match for the Witch Gate's experts and returned gravely injured!"
"I didn't expect that three years would have passed by in a flash. My awakening today must surely be thanks to your efforts, Li Zhiyuan, right?"
The Southern Border King said slowly, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
Li Zhiyuan was Medicine King's real name. His self-proclaimed title of king was only assumed after the Southern Border King fell into a coma – a development the Southern Border King was naturally unaware of.
Hearing this, Medicine King immediately nodded, but before he could speak, Wang Tiezhu at his side had already said, "Your Grace! Your awakening is all thanks to the intervention of the Northern Liao King!"
"This Li Zhiyuan, after Your Grace fell into a coma, together with several others, claimed the title of king, intending to throw the Southern Border into chaos!"
"The Northern Liao King also came to the Southern Border after learning that Your Grace might be in a perilous situation, accompanied by his followers."
Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed the Southern Border King's eyes!
He turned his head and finally saw Ye Ling standing at the bedside with a smile on his face.
"Northern Liao King!"
The Southern Border King struggled to rise.
Ye Ling pressed him down with a gentle hand, saying with a smile, "There's no need for such formalities, Southern Border King, you've just awakened!"
This Northern Liao King was the strongest among the kings of the four major war regions. Even with the status of the Southern Border King, he had to show deference to Ye Ling on meeting him.
Seeing the two converse, Medicine King's eyes immediately filled with anxiety.
His gaze darkened as he looked at Wang Tiezhu, then he struggled to speak.
"Keep quiet!"
Chen Dao didn't give him the opportunity to speak. Noticing Medicine King's action, Chen Dao directly slapped his weathered face!
Ultimately, the Southern Border King did not rise, as with his current physical condition, he was simply unable to move normally.
"The Northern Liao is constantly in turmoil, and with the Northern Liao King absent from commanding the army, what brings you to my Southern Border?" the Southern Border King asked, looking at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling merely shook his head and smiled, saying lightly, "You were grievously injured and went missing for three years, Southern Border King. By all rights and reasons, I should come to visit you, shouldn't I?"
