Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2173

Just as Matthew and Phoenix were investigating Lord Voodoo's appearance, another force was approaching them from afar.

Under the moonlight, a speedboat was racing across the sea, and standing at the front was a figure gazing ahead. Behind her was a large sword that was as wide as her shoulders.

That figure was Freya.

She was careless in her previous battle with Fabien at Bainbridge. Back then, she had just broken through to a new realm and was subsequently ambushed and poisoned. In the end, she could only admit defeat. Fabien's sudden surge in strength had deeply surprised her as well. They could be considered fellow apprentices for years, so she naturally knew his situation well. Before joining the Unrivaled Swordsmen Sect, he had been severely wounded and did not get treatment in time, leaving him with a profound hidden injury.

Besides that, the martial arts he practiced were the Bane Family's mixed martial arts. That technique had a terrifying explosive power, which required quick and fierce attacks. It was considered the top martial arts technique in all of Cathay, but taking that path had its corresponding effects.

If one used the Bane Family's mixed martial arts for long periods, one would suffer a tremendous side effect—dyspnea; that could be said to be the Bane Family's curse. Moreover, learning martial arts would more or less leave some hidden injuries. When hidden wounds and dyspnea were combined, as the person aged, they would manifest into a secret bomb inside the body.

Old Mr. Bane was the best example. Therefore, Fabien, who had been practicing mixed martial arts since he was young, could not avoid that fate either. It was just that his talent in martial arts was indeed shocking. His cultivation base had never dropped, even with double the recurring illnesses inside his body.

Naturally, he was still weaker when compared to his peers. Though Fabien was the senior back then, he was weaker than his juniors.

Later, Freya started practicing the Demonic Sword Technique. After her personality changed, she began challenging her peers—besides Raven—and everyone who lost to her died under her sword.

As for Fabien, he had been chased out of their sect, and he could not live much longer with his double recurring illnesses. That was why she did not go after him back then. Yet, when he reappeared, he was already the ruler of the Isle of Snakes. The next time they met was when they fought each other in Bainbridge.
