I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 1695 - 134: Detest Evil as One Would an Enemy

Apricot Yellow City

Just as Yun Xiaoxiao had predicted, Yiqi, the Dao Child of the dragon lineage, did not make a sudden turnaround or execute a surprise attack, but visited directly.

Using the same methods amidst the same scene, the cursed individuals hanging from the purplish-red Thorny Vines, no matter who was behind them or how many years their families had accumulated power, the Dao Child’s blade did not tremble in the slightest.

That is until the epidemic outbreak in Octagon Village, where the infected villagers wanted to enter the city but were stopped outside the walls.

When the news reached Yiqi, the Dao Child who was most adept at dealing with plagues rolled up his sleeves and exclaimed with delight, "Finally, it’s a profession that suits me perfectly. Come on, take me to that person at once!"

When false epidemics meet the true Buddha, the Dao Child examined the pulse and immediately knew that this ragged, organ-failing spectacle bore the symptoms of a fierce avian disease. With a few brief questions, he took people straight to Octagon Village.

After that came a simple reckoning.

The Dao Child, who had barged into the Fu Family home, had thought he was confronting another lunatic clan like the Hua Family, only to find his fellow disciple, Fu Baibu, packing his medical bag to go out for a consultation.

"What are you doing here?"

Yiqi, the Dao Child, tilted his chin up and asked Fu Baibu.

"As a disciple originally from Apricot Yellow City and the third son of the Fu Family, I should have prepared a feast to welcome my senior brother, but an epidemic has broken out in a village outside the city. To prevent an outbreak, I must go immediately, and after I return, we can then catch up," said Fu Baibu, surprised to see Yiqi before nodding towards his medicine box with a solemn expression.

Seeing his junior disciple in a rush to leave, Yiqi raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No need to go, I have already eradicated the source of the epidemic. Look here."

With that, Yiqi stretched out his left hand, and a bead – unclear whether it was gas or liquid – of green tumbled in his palm.

"...Indeed, with senior brother, the Dao Child, taking action, there is no way the epidemic could spread."

It is rare to encounter an epidemic in the Undying World, and I thought it might be my opportunity for a trial, but I never expected my senior brother, the Dao Child, to swoop in first. To say it didn’t upset me would be a lie.

However, as a physician, Fu Baibu managed to maintain his principles, knowing that with Yiqi’s intervention, the epidemic would have no chance of continuing to spread. But driven by his professional instincts, he still asked, "Has senior brother, the Dao Child, identified the source of the epidemic?"

Yiqi looked intently at Fu Baibu for quite some time, making him feel uneasy, before speaking indifferently, "It’s been identified, the source is poultry."

"Chicken plague infecting humans!?"

Hearing of the source, Fu Baibu was shocked, "It’s been so long since the Undying World had an outbreak of chicken plague that could infect humans. Why would such a dangerous epidemic suddenly break out in Octagon Village without any signs?"

While they were speaking, Fu Yuanzhi, with a face full of panic, stepped onto the threshold of the courtyard alongside Fu Dongqing.

Seeing the enigmatic man conversing with his younger brother, Fu Yuanzhi managed to keep a calm demeanor, but Fu Dongqing was already pale with fear. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Recently, the biggest news in the city has been about the deeds of this Dao Child from Martial Saint Mountain. The public has revered him as a divine figure, spreading word of him everywhere.

However, the great families weren’t so enthusiastic, and in fact, many clans with unclean foundations have been quietly sending away their lineage, as if preparing for a retreat.

If this were in the past, the two members of the Fu Family would certainly not have been worried; they may even have made light of the situation with sayings such as "One with nothing to hide does not fear the slanting shadow."

After all, over the years, the Fu Family has been conducting their medical business in Apricot Yellow City properly, thanks to the medical formulas provided by Baibu. But it just so happened, just these past few days...

Seeing Yiqi, Fu Dongqing finally understood what it meant to have a guilty conscience.

Now he could only hope that the Dao Child who had just arrived in Apricot Yellow City was here to reminisce with his younger brother; otherwise...

Glancing at his elder brother beside him, Fu Dongqing felt a profound sense of despair.

"Junior brother wants to know why this epidemic has come so ferociously and without any warning?"

Yiqi Tianlong sneered as he turned halfway, the Poison Pearl in his hand directly aiming at Fu Yuanzhi and Fu Dongqing, who had just entered the yard, and chuckled coldly: "Then you should ask these two stewards of the Fu Family’s pharmacy."

"What do you mean by that, Senior Brother Tianlong?"

Fu Baibu looked at his two brothers, scared to death by the Dao Child, and said displeasingly.

Yiqi Tianlong didn’t speak again. He simply pulled out a medicine pack from his bosom and threw it to Fu Baibu.

The medicine pack bore the unique mark of the Fu Family’s pharmacy, which made Fu Baibu’s heart sink.

At this point, even the slowest of thinkers could sense that Yiqi Tianlong’s visit to their residence was more than just a coincidence.

But his two brothers were honest people; what kind of relation could they have with the epidemic, unless they were being held accountable for their lack of skill?

With such doubts, Fu Baibu opened the medicine pack.

The Inner Sect Disciple of Medicine God Sect, determined to exculpate his two brothers, had already thought that if it was due to a mistake in the prescription that led to mismanagement, he would go all out to defend his kin.

After all, both brothers had become medics halfway through life; insufficient skill was not a serious fault.

It was nothing more than mistaking a contagious chicken pestilence for a common one, a blunder, a non-combat related error.

However, upon seeing the ratio of herbs in the prescription, Fu Baibu stood in a daze for a long time, his right hand holding the medicine pack trembling uncontrollably, scattering the herbal medicine on the ground.

"Now you know why Divine Sect always demands you Inner Sect Disciples to sever ties with the mortal world."

Yiqi Tianlong said eerily: "It’s precisely because people like you serve as their backers, that your kinsfolk grow audacious."

After speaking, the Poison Pearl split in two, transforming into green glows that shot into Fu Yuanzhi and Fu Dongqing’s bodies.

"Stop!!!"

The bewildered Fu Baibu saw his two brothers clutching their chests and weeping as they collapsed, and his body moved involuntarily.

He zipped like a fleeting shadow to the nearly collapsed bodies of the two, placing one hand on each of their backs, madly infusing them with purifying and detoxifying Spiritual Power.

"Hmm?"

Yiqi Tianlong tilted his head: "Are you trying to stop me from crossing this calamity?"

Although he was smiling, Fu Baibu could feel a bone-chilling coldness, but when it came to his brothers, he still mustered the strength to say: "The Fu Family’s medical hall has saved countless lives over the decades, and my two brothers are well-known good people in Apricot Yellow City, esteemed by all. Just because of one misstep, do they deserve to be ruthlessly eradicated?"

"Ruthlessly eradicated?"

Yiqi Tianlong laughed: "It’s exactly because there are too many people with your kind of thinking in the world, that bastards can never be completely killed off."

Fu Baibu wanted to say something more, but the purple-red Thorny Vines that sprouted from the ground had already enveloped the sky, tightly wrapping around the three of them.

Like hundreds of snakes intertwined, after a grim sound of cracking bones, the three were twisted into a lump of indistinguishable muddy flesh.

The Fu Family’s servants and lower-ranked staff in the courtyard were scared stiff, as Yiqi Tianlong looked around, shook his head, and left.

Three thousand chi up in the vast sky, Tang Luo, who had witnessed the events in the Fu Family’s courtyard, did not look good.

"To detest evil to this extent... it must be considered a kind of sickness!"
