Chapter 489: The Divine Doctor Li Yanchu! Eat Whatever You Want, Taboo Revival, Ancient Giants!

Li Yanchu controlled the small red snake in his palm.

Boom

!

A surge of scorching vital energy erupted, directly refining and obliterating the red mark.

“All done,” Li Yanchu said calmly.

Seeing this, everyone else fell speechless.

Meanwhile, Master Xuming felt a bit embarrassed.

Had I known it was this simple, I would’ve stayed calm earlier... Sigh, I still don’t fully understand Daoist Master Li’s abilities. He’s way stronger than I imagined.

Master Xuming thought for a moment and realized it wasn’t really his fault. Daoist Master Li was just that powerful, and he wouldn’t have known.

Zhang Wei pondered seriously, then stepped forward. “Senior, can you check if I have any marks? Or maybe, if that woman didn’t leave one on me, does anyone else have one?”

Everyone’s eyes shifted.

Whoa, this guy has an unusual thought process!

But it made sense. After years of exorcising demons and dispelling evil, who knew if some lingering spirits or monsters had left marks on them?

Now that Daoist Master Li was here, it was a perfect chance to have him heal everyone for free.

Li Yanchu nodded without objection and began examining Zhang Wei. Upon looking, he immediately noticed a problem.

“Eh!?” He made a small sound of surprise, his expression turning serious and his brow furrowed.

Anyone who’s seen a patient treated by a skilled doctor knows: it was not the doctor ignoring you that was scary, it was when the doctor sighed at you.

In Zhang Wei’s mind, Li Yanchu’s status was practically godlike. His heart jumped to his throat, and he anxiously asked, “Senior, what’s wrong with me?”

Li Yanchu said solemnly, “Your problem is serious. After this, I think you should spend more time with your family. Eat whatever you want, do what you want, don’t hold yourself back.”

Zhang Wei fell silent and nearly cried, overwhelmed with panic. Although Senior Cao Cao’s every word was caring, spoken in a gentle tone, why did sound like he was already on his deathbed?!

He glanced at everyone around him, brow furrowed.

What do these compassionate looks mean?

Zhang Wei panicked, grabbing Li Yanchu’s arm. “Senior Cao Cao, you have to save me! I’m utterly loyal to you. Honestly, I was even planning to introduce my second sister to you, she’s very beautiful, my...”

Excited, Zhang Wei blurted out all his plans without restraint, and hearing his words, the others’ instantly took on a shocked look.

Whoa, what kind of audacious words are these? Are we even supposed to hear this?!

Zhang Wei was shamelessly throwing caution aside to cling to Daoist Master Li and selling out his sister for his own gain!

The three big bald monks looked at him with disdain.

Still, deep down, Zhang Wei’s words also reminded them that Daoist Master Li was truly a powerhouse. If someone this young was this strong, how incredible must his master be?! This was an obvious fact: even Daoist Master Li himself was like a towering mountain they could only look up to with awe.

So Daoist Master Li likes women... Amitabha. I’ve spent my life doing good deeds and helping others fulfill their wishes. Daoist Master Li saved my life, a kindness I will never forget. When we return, I must also help Daoist Master Li with this “problem.”

Master Xuming thought to himself.

Master Xuhui glanced at his cousin, and the two exchanged a knowing smile. They were not monks from childhood, and each had family and clans behind them.

“Amitabha... A celestial figure like Daoist Master Li must be properly taken care of.”

Thanks to Zhang Wei’s careless outburst, the two monks first looked down on him, then their brains began operating at full speed, scanning for suitable candidates, nearly burning out their CPUs.

But Zhang Wei had no time to care about others trying to compete for favor. He stared at Li Yanchu with hopeful desperation.

Li Yanchu spoke slowly, “You have at least five or six different marks on you, each left by ferocious monsters or great demons. What exactly have you been doing? You even have a Buddhist mark on you, though not from any orthodox Buddhist sect. Very strange.”

Li Yanchu frowned at the Eight Trigrams Mirror in his hand, and Zhang Wei panicked even more.

Because everything Senior Cao Cao said was true; he

had

visited an abandoned Buddhist temple not long ago and found a treasure there. But that temple had given him a very bad feeling... He felt chills the entire time, but because nothing strange happened afterward, he had ignored it.

So I already got marked back then?! F***ing hell!

Zhang Wei cursed inwardly.

He felt exactly like a man whose entire past had just been accurately exposed by a fortune teller, utterly convinced of their divinity. But seeing Li Yanchu’s serious expression, his heart tightened.

“Senior... am I beyond saving?” He was on the verge of tears.

Is my youthful life ending already?!

Li Yanchu shook his head. “No. But this... will cost extra.”

No free treatments! I’ll start by refusing freeloaders!

At his words, Zhang Wei and the others fell silent.

Meanwhile, in the mysterious small town, the red‑skirted woman was fighting the armored general. Sensing that the mark she had planted was removed, she let out an enraged roar.

“Damn it! How was it stripped away so quickly!?”

She instinctively thought of that young Daoist, feeling both love and hate. Without him, she could never have been reborn; she would’ve remained that hideous, twisted monster. She would rather have her soul destroyed than live in such a form. That was a tremendous kindness.

But the young Daoist was infuriating; first, he kept shooting her with arrows, then he attacked her mercilessly, and now he had apparently removed her mark.

“Sigh... Men.” The red‑skirted woman let out a soft sigh.

Something in her memory stirred. If not for men, her entire clan would not have fallen to such a tragic fate. She was likely the very last of her people.

Her feelings toward Li Yanchu were extremely complicated. But toward the armored general before her, there was nothing but pure killing intent.

“Damn it... once I recover my strength, the first thing I’ll do is hunt you down!” the red‑skirted woman shouted angrily.

Clearly, it was Li Yanchu who had caused her so much harm, leaving her frustrated, but she vented her anger on the black‑armored man instead!

Well, the black‑armored man couldn’t speak, or he surely would have cursed her...

At this moment, the red‑skirted woman wielded the Asura Demon Sword, transforming into a streak of red light as she flew away from the black‑armored man. She tried to absorb the light of the red moon to restore her strength.

But the red moon’s radiance was being absorbed even more by the black‑armored man. What made her even angrier was that she realized the black‑armored man’s chest-mouth, the large maw on his torso, had been continuously devouring the red moon’s energy even while fighting her. In other words, he hadn’t stopped once!

Boom! Boom!

The streak of black light and streak of red light rampaged endlessly through the small town. Although this chaos didn’t affect too many places directly, in the surrounding terrifying mountains, several streaks of crimson light suddenly appeared.

Just then, a giant as towering as a mountain slowly emerged from the mountains. He wasn’t drawn by the explosions, as there had been far bigger blasts before. Instead, he sensed someone in the town drawing power from the red moon, and this filled his gaze with greed and fury!

The giant had only one eye on his face, his entire body golden in color, without any hair, radiating an incredibly terrifying presence.
