Chapter 30

 

 

“Don’t leave a single one alive, kill them all!”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go!”

 

The very next day.

A bloodbath unfolded centered around Donghwa Guild.

 

“It’s the Golden Tiger Gang bastards!”

“When did those bastards get here!”

“What are those damn bastards trying to do by showing up! Kill them!”

“Uwaaaak!”

 

Soemyeol-ma and his disciples.

Their hands showed no mercy.

The Heaven Crushing Destruction Art that made Soemyeol-ma who he is.

True to its name that claims to crush the heavens, whenever his martial art based on the profound mysteries of weight unfolded.

Whoooong. Whoooong.

Craaack-

Kwazuk. Kwazuk.

The heads of Wandering Warriors loitering around Donghwa Guild were crushed.

 

“Keoeoeoek…!”

“Kek!”

 

They neither subdued nor took prisoners.

They only took lives.

If someone managed to dodge the iron club with their skill.

Even that was punished.

 

“Aaaaak…!”

“Kik. You should have been prepared when you came.”

“Keueuk…! P-please spare me…! Keuaaaak! Keuak! Stop!”

 

Peoeok. Peok. Kwazuk.

He delivered even more brutal follow-up strikes.

Starting with the limbs.

Crushing the entire body with the iron club.

Not just breaking the body.

When breath was about to leave them.

 

“Now die.”

“Kkeok!”

 

Kwang-!

Only then did he crush and shatter their heads.

It didn’t take long for all those acts to spread throughout Hangzhou.

Because Soemyeol-ma and all of them revealed their actions without even hiding!

 

This was to show two things.

The strength of Golden Tiger Gang behind Donghwa Guild and the cruelty they possessed.

Thus they sought to instill fear.

So that no one would dare raise their heads against them!

 

-Someone died again?

-Hah… Didn’t they kill several yesterday too.

-What the hell are the Government Forces doing?

-Would they step in? When the Salt Merchants were being swept away, they didn’t even investigate…

-Shh. Keep it down. Soldiers are passing by over there.

-Damn it. Can’t even speak. What kind of situation is this…

 

The situation gradually worsened.

With people dying every day.

Common People had no choice but to be paralyzed with fear.

Abandoning their livelihoods.

Those hiding in their homes appeared one after another.

At this point, the story changes.

 

‘They’re not even considering our circumstances.’

 

Even the Donghwa Guild Leader who had requested Golden Tiger Gang members couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The area around Donghwa Guild was turning into ruins.

If this situation continues, it’s over.

Donghwa Guild’s power will inevitably be broken.

Right now, even those who should be paying him protection money are worrying about survival rather than their livelihoods.

When tribute itself is blocked, Evil Sect forces shrink in an instant.

 

‘These bastards. They came to drag me down and kill me too in this opportunity.’

 

On the surface, he, the Donghwa Guild Leader, appears to have the advantage.

Not at all.

The situation was not good.

The profits he had worked hard to obtain from the Salt Merchants. Even using all of that, he could see his power declining.

Outwardly he seems to be winning, but in reality he’s being broken!

How could the Guild Members not know the situation.

 

“Guild Leader. What do we do about this?”

“Hmm…”

“I think we need to find some method.”

“I know.”

 

Though they weren’t saying it outright.

Their eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Right now, if he didn’t have money to spread around. They were the type who would betray him and switch sides at any time.

Because that’s the nature of Evil Sect Martial Artists.

At this rate, even the Guild Leader’s position would inevitably be in danger.

No, survival might be the problem before that.

No, survival might be the issue before that.

He could have ended up hanging by the neck next to the Vice Guild Leader who was still hanging on the pole.

 

“Once this matter is resolved, it will be fine. Just this matter….”

“When will that be resolved… No, far from being resolved, it seems to be getting bigger….”

“Wait and see.”

“…Understood.”

 

The Guild Leader acted as if he had no other choice.

Then one day.

Around the very late hour of Chuksi (01~03 AM).

The Guild Leader took advantage of the approaching dawn and launched his body into motion.

 

‘Since I’ve already come this far. If I don’t gain something here, I’ll lose everything. What choice do I have. I can only proceed with this all-or-nothing gamble.’

 

The Donghwa Guild Leader moved to make the gamble of his lifetime.

His direction was none other than the Salt Merchants!

It was the residence where the new Merchant Leader of the Salt Merchants was staying.

 

‘Failing to kill him again was the mistake. This time I must capture him and… extract that profit. In one swift move!’

 

To take the Salt Merchant Merchant Leader hostage.

The masked Guild Leader secretly ran across the ground of Hangzhou.

A crazy tightrope walk performed by the Guild Leader alone!

Betting his life and death.

 

“We must go together!”

“How are you here…!”

 

News came that the Merchant Leader’s neck had been caught in the Guild Leader’s hands.

 

 

* * *

 

 

‘I really did well to treat her.’

 

Separate from the commotion outside, Jung Myeong’s Medical Clinic was peaceful.

All the attention of the Martial Artists was focused on the Donghwa Guild war. And even his patients were mostly those near the Western Market.

In the midst of this, Jung Myeong was feeling quite satisfied.

The first child he took on for treatment.

The treatment of the child who he later learned had the name Eun Gyeol.

The results had brought him tremendous growth.

 

‘The system from awakening is important too. But indeed, that’s not everything.’

 

Using the system without being controlled by it.

That was the answer.

Though he was using skills for treatment.

Rather than that, Jung Myeong was performing treatment centered on the direction he thought was right.

From the outside, it seemed like a rather dangerous method.

 

‘While observing everything from above, it’s hard to fail.’

 

Knowledge from his previous life.

Current skills.

Ki Sensing and Ki Healing.

As long as he used all of these at full power, failing would be more difficult.

Through this, his achievements after considerable growth were quite powerful.

 

Name: Jung Myeong Profession: Alchemist(35) / Martial Artist(35) / Physician(35) Internal Energy: 61 years

 

His level had reached 35 before he knew it.

The skills listed below had also grown evenly.

Especially the growth of Acupuncture, Pulse Reading, Ki Healing, and Ki Sensing was remarkable.

Even Ki Healing and Ki Sensing, which he had acquired most recently, had surpassed level 10!

 

‘I haven’t been using the points gained from leveling up much, yet they’re at 10.’

 

This meant.

He was properly walking the path of a physician.

Moreover, the same was true as a Martial Artist.

Along with his grown Ki Sensing, his increased Internal Energy was already approaching one year.

 

‘It’s thanks to the power of the mastered Three Origin Poison Art.’

 

The Three Origin Poison Art that had been mastered and elevated in rank.

Should it be called wisdom about poison gained through it. Or expressed differently, should it be called instinct.

By mastering the Poison Art, he had instinctively increased his understanding of poison.

This was different from knowledge.

If knowledge is knowing, this was feeling.

Based on that feeling.

He attempted to manufacture various pills.

 

‘Three Origin Pill. That’s a perfect name.’

 

Through this, he succeeded in creating one pill.

In reality, the toxicity contained within was tremendous.

Rather than a pill, it was closer to a Poison Pill.

Anyway, to him it was a pill no different from Spirit Medicine!

Using this, he succeeded in increasing his Internal Energy by another year over the past month.

 

‘This means I should be considered to have grown as an alchemist too.’

 

Anyway. The past month.

He succeeded in growing quite comprehensively.

A little over two months since the battle with Donghwa Guild.

He had succeeded in achieving tremendous growth.

 

“Hehehe.”

 

How could he not feel pleased just sitting still.

In the midst of all this, if there was something else that made him pleased, it was something unexpected.

 

“Physician! Look at this!”

“Oh ho. You’re almost there! Really almost there!”

 

That was precisely the fact that Eun Gyeol’s complete recovery was visible right before his eyes.

Meridian blockage syndrome. A disease no different from divine punishment.

Jung Myeong felt even greater satisfaction in having treated it.

 

“Three days should be more than enough.”

“Three days?”

“Yes. In three days, I should be able to cure you completely.”

“Really?!”

 

Surprise settled on the child’s face.

A smile bloomed.

 

“Yes. At most three days should do it. Though I’ll need to monitor your condition for about a year afterward. I guarantee it won’t get any worse.”

“Wow!”

“Hehe. Are you satisfied?”

“Yes!”

“Good.”

 

The movement of her arms and legs together was natural.

Only her right foot moved one beat slower.

It was much smoother movement than before.

Even to the eye, it was remarkable progress.

 

‘To think I would be able to treat meridian blockage syndrome.’

 

It was a disease his Master had told him not to dare touch.

Because touching it wrongly could only cause adverse effects instead.

He had treated such a disease.

In Jung Myeong’s heart.

It was no wonder that warm satisfaction bloomed.

Wouldn’t it be best to continue this satisfaction as it was.

 

“Now then, shall we hurry and treat you today as well?”

“Of course!”

“Yes. Let’s give it a try!”

 

Jung Myeong prepared for today’s treatment.

Swoosh-

 

[Ki Healing begins.]

 

He summoned his energy.

 

 

* * *

 

 

And so one watch period passed.

Jung Myeong thought it was enough for now and composed himself.

Meanwhile, Eun Gyeol also prepared with familiar movements.

Since treatment was over, she was trying to leave quickly.

 

“Won’t you rest before going?”

“I have to go quickly.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I absolutely must.”

“Hmm. I see.”

 

It was a regretful expression.

She wasn’t moving quickly because she was happy.

She was hurrying because she had to do so by necessity.

 

‘Why is she like that?’

 

Jung Myeong still didn’t know the reason.

But he felt he would know soon.

 

‘She’ll probably tell me when the treatment is finished, so there’s no need to rush.’

 

After all, hadn’t he learned her name only belatedly.

For some reason, she hadn’t told him her family name separately.

There must be some reason for that.

From what he could sense, it seemed she would tell him.

 

‘Somehow I feel there will be a reason I never expected at all.’

 

It would be an interesting matter even if postponed a little.

At most it was three days anyway.

 

‘It’s soon.’

 

While waiting for that time.

Creak-

He opened the door to see off Eun Gyeol who was about to go outside.

And the moment he stepped outside.

 

“!!!!”

“!!!!”

 

Jung Myeong saw a scene he never expected.

As he stepped outside the door.

There was someone kneeling.

Someone who seemed like he would never kneel even if a sword came to his neck!

 

“Wh-what is… this….”

“Huh?!”

 

At this moment, Jung Myeong was bewildered.

But Eun Gyeol was even more bewildered than him.

Eun Gyeol hurriedly tried to rush out.

But faster than Eun Gyeol.

The shout from the one kneeling was faster.

 

“I really hate physicians!”

 

A cry that seemed filled with deep resentment.

At that cry.

 

“….”

 

Eun Gyeol stopped his body that was rushing out.

Jung Myeong thought for the first time in a while.

 

‘…Is he a madman.’

 

This, it seems like he got caught up with some madman.
