The Martial Doctor

"Dream on if you think you can catch me!" Scorpio glimpsed the situation and realized that if he fell into their hands, living would be worse than dying.

He pulled out a jade bottle from his robe, removed the stopper, poured out a dark red large pill, and tossed it into his mouth with lightning speed.

Carefree Elixir!

Si Miaoxue’s expression changed. She had seen Carefree Elixir before; although it’s a forbidden drug, it’s quite popular in certain circles.

Many are willing to spend a fortune to buy one for the purpose of keeping it as life-saving during dangerous times.

The medicine is known for its potential-enhancing effects. Though one will be weak for a period after consumption, it’s better than dying immediately.

Generally, people who purchase Carefree Elixir do not consume it, as apart from activating potential, it is highly addictive.

Once you consume one, you can’t escape its lure, as it’s a feeling no one in the martial world can abandon.

Carefree Elixir also has many side effects, such as virility, which is extremely tempting for ordinary people. However, it’s too expensive for anyone to merely use it as such.

Besides, its hallucinogenic effects are far superior to Carefree Soda, known for its ’one pill to the soul’ experience. It’s difficult for ordinary people to resist.

For martial artists.

Taking the Carefree Elixir might be like drinking poison to quench thirst, but compared to addiction, when weighed against one’s life, anyone can distinguish which is more significant.

But if someone like Scorpio, a martial artist of Great Perfection of Meridian Realm, consumes the Carefree Elixir, even if he only has four or five tenths of his cultivation left, activating potential could at least double it in a short time, reaching full power.

In a state of full power, Scorpio, if he wanted to escape, even being attacked by three people might not stop him.

"Gentleman, it’s the Carefree Elixir; we can’t let the effects activate!" Si Miaoxue exclaimed.

Lin Miao was also startled upon hearing this. Although he hadn’t seen Carefree Elixir, he knew what it was and instantly understood why Si Miaoxue was so anxious.

Seeing the results about to be achieved, how could he let things go as Scorpio wished?

Just because he swallowed it doesn’t mean he can digest it!

As Scorpio’s swallowing motion progressed, his Adam’s apple moved up and down.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Miao moved like lightning, several invisible silver needles flew from between his fingers directly piercing Scorpio’s silk garment.

Zap! Zap!

Scorpio felt a blockage in his chest, as if the pill he had just swallowed was stuck in his esophagus, making him feel breathless.

What’s going on?

His face turned red from holding his breath. Normal people would faint soon without breathing; skilled martial artists can hold their breath longer, but still need to exhale stale air even if they don’t inhale.

Total closure is impossible.

Of course, complete breath-holding for a short time isn’t impossible, but the time is limited, and it affects actions.

Movements become sluggish.

Lin Miao seized this opportunity, flashing directly in front of Scorpio, leaving less than three inches between them...

"You, cough..."

"Trying to take medicine? Did you ask me first?" Lin Miao chuckled. If Scorpio hadn’t taken the Carefree Elixir, Lin Miao’s silver needles might not have had such an effect, since no matter the stimulation, the esophagus couldn’t be entirely blocked.

But with the addition of this pill, the passage was completely sealed.

Gently brushing with the back of his hand.

He struck three inches below Scorpio’s Adam’s apple, then changed to a hand blade, slicing the opponent’s throat, causing a dark red pill to uncontrollably fly out of Scorpio’s mouth.

Lin Miao swiped Scorpio’s hand with his other hand, seizing the jade bottle, and the pill traced an arc, diving back into the bottle.

Clink!

Scorpio clutched his throat, watching the "Carefree Elixir" he had swallowed being forcibly expelled in such a manner, his eyes glaring red with rage.

This is humiliating.

"Still want to run now?" Lin Miao chuckled, shaking the jade bottle, making the pill clatter against the bottle with a crisp sound.

Humiliation’s revenge!

Scorpio felt his throat loosen, inhaled sharply and was about to adjust his internal energy when suddenly sharp chest pain tore through him.

A surge of blood shot upward, his throat tasted sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sorry, forgot to mention, I just sealed your heart veins with silver needles, don’t try to use your energy, or your meridians will flow backward, causing light injuries or total loss of martial skills..."

"Who are you?" Scorpio’s hand tremblingly pointed at Lin Miao, after all this time he still hadn’t figured out who his opponent was.

"Physician, I am a physician who saves lives."

"Physician, damn you!"

"Wow, you have quite the unique taste. I do have a grandfather. Would you like to meet him? I believe he’d be very interested in you," Lin Miao chuckled, thinking Dongguo Sun would quite enjoy this gift.

"You..." Scorpio couldn’t mobilize his internal energy, which meant his martial skills were wasted. Under extreme anger, another mouthful of blood spewed, making him fall back.

"Such a temper, how boring."

Scorpio was captured alive.

The Profound Armor Army suddenly became leaderless, and as for the martial artists Scorpio recruited, although several were at the Meridian Passage Realm, they came for money, not to risk their lives.

Seeing the shift in momentum, how could they not quickly "tighten up, take off"!

If these folks weren’t afraid of dying, they wouldn’t be hiding in Li Hen City, barely hanging on. They’re best at assessing the situation.

So, they fight more fiercely when they can win, but if they can’t, they’re quicker to flee than anyone.
