Alas, it’s a pity you’re too beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he moved to carry the woman over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as he was about to approach her, the woman’s eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly flew open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intruder was startled and instinctively went for the kill, grasping the woman’s throat in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the woman did not show any sign of pain; instead, she smiled and looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This eerie scene, unlike anything he had ever witnessed, sent a chill from his feet to his heart, and he felt bone-deep cold throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you?\" His voice was filled with fear, and he even stuttered when he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Feng Jiu, whose throat he still clutched, remained silent, instead slowly opening her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cherry lips grew impossibly large, as if about to swallow him whole; he could even see ghosts wailing in her belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\" At that moment, engulfed by endless terror, he let go of his grip and ran, his fearful screams echoing in the night, reverberating through the town, awakening countless sleeping people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the shadow pursued him like a relentless specter, and no matter where he ran, he could not shake it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the mansion, Ma Qing was anxiously awaiting the return of his guest elder, in whom he had great confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the guest elder was formerly a notorious bandit in Jianghu, unparalleled in qinggong, having survived countless pursuits unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he possessed the Soul-Confusing Smoke, a method capable of killing invisibly. With his involvement, capturing that beautiful girl was guaranteed. The thought of Feng Jiu’s face, as beautiful as a blooming flower, made Ma Qing’s body heat up, wishing he could take her then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud noise suddenly erupted, and Ma Qing went out joyfully to meet it, certain that they had succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he rushed outside, he only saw his disheveled guest elder, and his beloved beauty was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened, where is my beauty?\" Ma Qing asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guest Elder didn’t answer him, instead showing a foolish smile as if lost in a trance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong with you?\" Ma Qing realized that something seemed off and asked softly, while his body had already begun to slowly back away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were you looking for me?\" A cold voice came through, and a woman was seen slowly climbing out from behind the Guest Elder, her face bearing a horrifying smile, which looked somewhat similar to Feng Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Ma Qing, the woman’s face revealed a malicious grin. She began to crawl on the ground like a spider, opening her mouth where the silhouettes of wailing people seemed visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monster!\" Ma Qing let out a piercing scream and began frantically to flee to the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the woman behind him relentlessly pursued, as if determined to devour Ma Qing completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, weren’t you looking for me? Why be so heartless?\" The woman’s mournful voice sounded in Ma Qing’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, he had no intent to listen; intense fear had already filled his heart, causing him to lose his most basic sense of reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the figure of the woman drew ever closer, Ma Qing’s fear strengthened, and a voice in his heart seemed to be screaming non-stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to die, going to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you!\" The woman said with a tittering laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ma Qing fell into complete despair. His mind was like a spinning lantern, flashing through many scenes of women he had defiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they seemed to merge with the monster before him, and the vengeful cries of these women seemed to echo in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could this be my karma?\" Ma Qing muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wicked beast, how dare you!\" A robust voice followed by a tall figure emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a monk dressed in a kasaya, holding a purple gold alms bowl in his hand, his expression filled with compassion, and his whole being exuded an aura of pity and sadness for the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he appeared, he struck the monster’s face with a punch, and a golden Buddha’s Light burst forth, causing the monster to cry out in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What monk dares to meddle in affairs here?\" the monster shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monster, do not be presumptuous,\" said the monk, throwing a punch that created a gust of wind out of nowhere and hit the monster right between the eyes, shattering its head with immense force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" The monster did not die from this, but instead let out a pained cry, after which the smashed head slowly began to regenerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, its features were much uglier than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monk slightly frowned. He had traveled far and wide, yet had never seen such a monster, with an aura that disturbed the mind, much like the mundane world filled with desires and distractions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he thought it was a monster, but upon closer examination, he realized there was not a hint of Demon Qi on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you?\" the monk asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monk, to your doom!\" The monster didn’t answer his question, but instead rushed at the monk in an eerie manner, twisting its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ma Qing, who was behind the monk, trembled with fear, retreating continuously, his crotch already wet, the air filled with a foul stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that this tyrant of the city would be scared to the point of incontinence? If word got out, many would probably cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.782Z",1,"novelbin.me","5537ca5baab9711258cd4609b43a6c43c15b21cc0b9c6409e46a5a5072c9b06c","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-279","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-277",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
