Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2198 Martin Plays the Peacemaker

There was a saying that the Bane Family's mixed martial arts could help one attain godlike status, while the Thunder Fist could pulverize enemies in the blink of an eye. Rumor had it that one could break mountains and rocks into pieces and exterminate evil spirits upon reaching the pinnacle of the Bane Family's mixed martial arts, but they would have to overcome an almost unbridgeable gulf in the process: the tightness in their chests. Such tightness wouldn't affect those who were just beginning to practice the Bane Family's mixed martial arts, but it would become worse and worse as one kept honing their techniques and reached new levels of attainment. If they couldn't resolve this, it would be difficult for them to improve their cultivation; moreover, the tightness in the chest would hurt one's internal organs when they fought their enemies using mixed martial arts, putting them in an awkward situation where they would defeat their enemies at a dearly cost.

It was precisely because of this reason and a series of coincidences that Fabien chose to specialize in poison. Furthermore, after discovering the Isle of Snakes, he began to study the breeding of venomous snakes, setting his mind to the cultivation of snake venoms. As if that weren't crazy enough, in order to achieve a perfect blend of his own physique and that of a venomous snake and to make his snake venoms work better, he actually modified his own genome sequence by integrating the genes of a venomous snake into his genome. This was also the reason why he manifested the characteristics of a snake despite being a human.

Levi didn't expect the Rainbow Devil Serpent to be so ferocious either. However, Fabien's appearance at this moment surprised him even more. And besides, Fabien's aura was getting stronger and stronger to the point where it was almost comparable to Levi's own.

Levi and Martin were both speechless with astonishment at this turn of events. Darting a look at Levi, Martin asked curiously, "Is he a demon or something?"

Levi shook his head with caution. "Cut that nonsense. There are no supernatural beings on earth," he replied before pondering for a while. Then, he added, "Fabien might've integrated the genes of the Rainbow Devil Serpent into his genome, hence the changes in his appearance." After saying that, he recalled Lord Voodoo, who had been at death's door not long ago. Fabien might've perfectly integrated the gene of the Rainbow Devil Serpent's venom into his genome, he thought.

Hearing Levi's explanation, Martin nodded in astonishment. "This guy's extraordinary." Even he, the King of Rivenia, could only let out a helpless sigh at this. He never dreamed that Fabien had not only dabbled in the study of the genetics of different species but also applied it to himself.

Just as he was marveling, Fabien's aura reached its peak. "Levi, I'm gonna kill you to avenge Fivey!" he swore.

At hearing this, Martin darted a dubious look at Levi, who held up the ragged remains of the Rainbow Devil Serpent in his grasp and even waved it in front of him. "You're a real troublemaker," he said before springing into action. Following the loud cry of a hawk, he charged right at Fabien, who was also coming toward him in a rage. "Lord of All Serpents, please take it easy. Let's talk about this calmly, okay?" Fabien smirked in disdain at Martin's suggestion before licking his lips with a slightly forked tongue that had red blood on it. "Haha! Calmly, eh? Well, I can do that, King of Rivenia. As long as Levi pays for Fivey's death with his life, I'll talk about whatever you want to talk about."

Now that he had gotten rid of the tightness in his chest and activated his king serpent's genes, he became much stronger all of a sudden. Naturally, this gave him the nerve to say so.

Martin's countenance changed slightly at Fabien's words; he never thought Fabien would actually refuse to do him the favor. "So, there's no room for negotiation, huh?" At first, he had wanted to play the peacemaker. Right now, Fabien's aura was already no less menacing than his and Levi's. If both sides were to really get into a fight, it would likely result in a situation where neither of them would win, and Martin was unwilling to see this. After all, Levi would be an important partner during his upcoming journey to the Endless Sea.

Hearing Martin's words, Fabien suddenly unleashed his murderous intent. "As I said, I just want to kill Levi!"

His words instantly added more tension to the situation.
