Chapter 179

If it weren’t for the Hao Gate Branch Leader’s strict orders and the item that Physician Jung Myeong had given her.

She might have screamed and fled immediately.

-Never let them know you’re afraid. They’ll get more excited smelling your fear. Beasts naturally have that trait.

The Branch Leader’s words flashed through her mind.

Chohong swallowed dry saliva and forced herself to smile.

“I’ll… pour you another cup, Young Master.”

“Good. The liquor tastes better when poured by your hands.”

The man seemed to mistake Chohong’s trembling for mere reverence or shyness toward him.

He arrogantly extended his arm.

Chohong picked up the liquor bottle.

At the tip of her index finger, inside her ring, was a very small amount of the improved tracking incense Jung Myeong had given her.

‘He said it was colorless and odorless. Will I really not be caught?’

The opponent was a skilled martial artist who had learned martial arts.

If she showed even the slightest suspicious behavior, her head could fly off.

Her heart pounded as if it would burst.

Glug glug glug.

The sound of liquor filling the cup seemed unusually loud.

The man wasn’t looking at the cup but staring intently at Chohong’s nape, as if he would devour her.

“Your skin is smooth, and above all… your energy is very pure.”

“Thank you.”

“Tonight my martial arts… no, my mood will become very good.”

The man suddenly reached out and grabbed Chohong’s wrist.

“Hik!”

“Why are you so startled?”

A fishy smile hung on the man’s lips.

“Come closer. It’s better to get drunk on the aroma than to drink liquor with your mouth.”

The man forcibly pulled Chohong into his embrace.

It was a strength she couldn’t resist.

Chohong’s body collided with the man’s chest as if embracing him.

A moment of mortal danger!

Though tears welled up from terror, Chohong instinctively realized this was her chance.

‘Now! If I don’t do it now, everything will be for nothing!’

She pretended to embrace the man while brushing the inside of his collar with her ringed hand.

Swish.

A very brief contact. The liquid instantly soaked into the man’s fabric.

The tracking incense enhanced by Jung Myeong’s alchemy made contact.

The incense disappeared without a trace the moment it touched, adhering to the target.

“Mmm, nice fragrance. Is it powder?”

The man sniffed with his nose.

But that was only Chohong’s body scent. It wasn’t the smell of the tracking incense.

Just as Jung Myeong had said.

The bastard didn’t notice at all.

“P-please let go now… The liquor will spill. Isn’t the night still early?”

Chohong pushed the man away with a voice mixed with coquetry, but desperately.

The man laughed heartily as if satisfied and released his hands.

“Yes, yes. The night is long. No need to rush.”

The man emptied his cup in one gulp.

He had no idea in his dreams.

The moment he embraced the woman he considered his prey.

That an insignia had been stamped on his body.

* * *

As time passed, the man revealed his true nature.

“Hehehe. If you accept it obediently, there will be no pain.”

“Why, why are you doing this?”

“What do you mean why…!”

The man’s hand roughly grabbed Chohong’s clothing ties.

Riiip!

The sound of silk fabric tearing echoed through the room like a scream.

Her exposed white shoulder trembled.

Instead of screaming, Chohong bit her lips until they bled.

‘I hoped it wouldn’t be so. Please… Please!’

The tracking incense on her fingertips.

That was her only lifeline.

But wasn’t the Color Demon right there opening his mouth before her eyes?

The lifeline felt too distant and thin to her.

Her head bowed deeply.

“Yes. Give up. That will be easier for you too.”

The man’s hand gripped Chohong’s nape.

Greedy lips approached, targeting her.

‘Please…!’

Chohong saw that the energy emanating from the opponent’s hands was far from ordinary.

She instinctively felt it.

If things progressed any further, her life could be in danger!

“Come here quickly! How far are you trying to run!”

“Ahhh…!”

That’s when it happened.

Crash-!

With a thunderous roar, the tightly closed window shattered, and wooden fragments scattered in all directions.

Someone leaped into the room with their back to the moonlight.

Before the dust could even settle.

A cold voice struck the man’s ears.

“What a walking disease.”

“Wh, who are you!”

The man was startled and pushed Chohong away, retreating backward.

He instinctively drew up his Internal Energy and circulated it throughout his body.

Hissss-

The massive Internal Energy gained through sexual cultivation wrapped around his entire body.

This should have filled him with confidence. Yet for some reason, he couldn’t shake off the chills running down his spine.

“Who am I? A Physician who came to catch the plague.”

From within the dust cloud, a man in blue martial robes, Jung Myeong, walked out.

He was staring solely at the man.

In those eyes, there was no trace of human compassion whatsoever.

They were filled only with the gaze of someone glaring at a rotten infected area that needed to be removed.

What was contained within was unmistakably killing intent.

His usual benevolence had completely vanished without a trace.

“I heard there was a plague spreading through Hangzhou, and it was you.”

“What? Plague?”

The man’s brow furrowed and he expressed his anger.

However, if you looked closely, his hands were already trembling.

He too was instinctively feeling it.

That things had gone wrong.

“Why am I a plague!”

“Gnawing away at healthy people’s True Energy and sucking their lives dry. What else would that be but a plague.”

“H, how do you know that… I haven’t done anything yet….”

“I can see that filthy energy, so there’s no point in denying it.”

Purple haze rose from Jung Myeong’s fingertips.

It was the energy of Poison Art.

“As a Physician, I simply cannot stand by and watch. I came to do some epidemic prevention.”

“You crazy bastard, what are you…!”

The man snorted and drew up his energy.

“Huu….”

The energy drawn up from his Dantian firmly enveloped him.

Tss tss tss-

It wasn’t ordinary Internal Energy.

It was sticky, fishy, turbid energy that scraped at the depths of instinct!

The energy of sexual cultivation built up by forcibly taking the vital essence of countless women had finally penetrated even his brain, paralyzing his reason.

“Hehe. Hehehehe.”

It madly incited the beast’s instinct that craved only slaughter and pleasure.

His pupils turned red and uncontrollable saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth.

“Die! Die!”

In an instant, the man’s form became blurred.

Before anyone knew it, his body was charging toward Jung Myeong.

Whoosh-!

Fingernails filled with turbid Internal Energy gained through sexual absorption dug toward Jung Myeong’s throat.

A swift and sinister strike!

But Jung Myeong didn’t move, as if rooted to the spot.

‘He only increased his speed with excessive Internal Energy. The depth contained within is itself clumsy.’

He had long since read that trajectory with his Ki Sensing.

Just before the man’s fingernails reached him!

Jung Myeong’s hand sliced through the air.

Thwack!

“Guh, gack?!”

The moment the hand filled with Poison Power reached him, the man’s vision was instantly blocked. Jung Myeong’s grip had seized the charging man’s face directly.

“Th, this! Gack…! Guurgh…! Let go…!”

The man panicked and struggled.

He tried to draw up his Internal Energy to strike away Jung Myeong’s arm.

But how could that work.

Jung Myeong’s arm didn’t budge in the slightest.

Rather, the grip strength squeezing his face only grew stronger.

Crack. Craaack-

“Ahhh! My, my head!”

The terrible sound of his skull creaking rang in his ears from Jung Myeong’s hand.

Overwhelming power!

Absolute martial prowess that made resistance impossible.

‘N-no way…!’

Only after regaining his senses did a rumor that had stirred up all of Hangzhou flash through the man’s mind.

A monstrous physician.

“Y-you are…”

A death-rattle scream burst from the man’s mouth.

However, Jung Myeong’s eyes remained coldly sunken.

“So you’ve finally figured it out. But what good does that do? You’re about to rot and be carved away.”

Crack-!

With a horrific bursting sound, the man’s scream was cut short.

Jung Myeong’s grip exploded with force, crushing the man’s head completely.

White brain matter and red blood splattered in all directions through the shattered skull.

Thud.

When Jung Myeong released his hand, the man’s corpse with half its head gone collapsed to the floor like a lump of meat.

Only heavy silence filled the room.

* * *

Chohong, who had been cowering in the corner trembling, watched the scene without even being able to breathe.

The monster that had been trying to violate her just moments ago.

That monster had died like an insect with a single gesture.

Jung Myeong calmly wiped his blood-stained hands with his clothes and approached Chohong.

His expression was so dry it was hard to believe he was the same person who had just crushed a man’s head. It was due to his characteristic cruel nature toward enemies.

Soon he composed himself and asked again.

“I’m glad I wasn’t too late. Are you injured anywhere?”

Only then did Chohong exhale the breath she had been holding and burst into tears.

“Sob… Physician…”

Jung Myeong comforted her for a while, then immediately headed toward his next destination.
