Doctor’s Rebirth - Chapter 184

Tsutsutsutsutsu.

Sword energy surged from the masked figure’s great sword.

‘His internal energy is overflowing. As expected of a top executive of the Blood Immortal Sect. Didn’t they say the top executives have at least four gapja of internal energy? Four gapja. Four gapja…’

Watching this, Jin Cheonhee unconsciously gritted his teeth in anger.

Grind.

‘Right. Four gapja. Internal energy built on sacrificial offerings of ground-up people. A tower built on blood…’

Having read the novel, Jin Cheonhee knew the truth. That’s why he recalled the rebel bullets that killed him in his past life.

They were bastards who accumulated blood and sacrificed others to enjoy their own wealth and glory.

If the rebels did it for meager power and wealth, these trash were doing this to become those so-called Blood Immortals.

How many people had they killed? How much blood had they sucked?

You bastards… you bastards…

Jolt.

Jin Cheonhee stopped abruptly, halting his thoughts.

Because the emotions that had just risen were not normal.

Of course, he was angry, but he had never actively had such vicious thoughts before.

Tsk. It must be because he had seen too much since coming to this Mount Wudang.

“Hah…”

A sigh escaped.

People die easily.

Saving a life is dozens of times harder than taking one.

Under that weight, amid those people’s death throes, he had nearly lost himself.

‘This is why war PTSD is so frightening.’

He could feel his mind wearing down.

Jin Cheonhee shook his head again.

Watching the Two Emperors clash again, he moved towards the Wudang Sect’s side.

Every time the Two Emperors collided, red sword energy connected in diagonal lines. In response, white sword energy moved softly to counter it.

In a battle of such an unfathomable realm, ordinary people could only do ordinary things.

“Move the injured to the back! Maintain the sword formation!”

The voice of Wudang’s sect leader was heard. And his gaze fell on Jin Cheonhee.

Jin Cheonhee nodded and entered the Wudang camp.

Dozens were standing. Dozens more were lying down, groaning.

Jin Cheonhee skillfully pulled the injured to a safer place at the back and began stopping their bleeding.

Meanwhile, the battle between Fist Emperor and the masked figure was becoming more intense.

Kwagwang!

A ravine formed on the ground.

Fist Emperor created a Taiji symbol to defend. Seeing this, the masked figure smirked.

“I’ll do that too.”

The masked figure’s red sword energy began to change into the shape of a curved jade at some point.

“Even if you imitate the form, you can’t contain the Way. Foolish…”

At that moment, a familiar voice sounded beside Jin Cheonhee.

“No. It contains the Way. The yin and yang are just reversed.”

It was Cheon-woo.

Cheon-woo had seen what even Wudang Fist Emperor hadn’t noticed.

Before there was time to feel glad.

The red sword energy and the Taiji symbol collided.

A tremendous roar that seemed to tear eardrums rang out, and the earth shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Jin Cheonhee saw Wudang Fist Emperor’s body being pushed back.

Fist Emperor was pushed back three steps, coughing up bright red bloody foam.

That was dangerous.

‘Even if the opponent also contained Taiji, there should be no reason for Elder Fist Emperor to be pushed back?’

No matter how improvised it was, if it was the same Taiji, Wudang’s should have been much more advantageous.

He couldn’t understand why Fist Emperor’s Taiji had been pushed back.

Cheon-woo said,

“He was poisoned before the surprise attack. We don’t know who used the poison yet, but… there must have been a traitor inside. The traitor probably leaked the formation information too.”

Cheon-woo was explaining in a hardened voice.

However, more than that, Jin Cheonhee was glad that Cheon-woo was safe.

“You’re safe.”

Cheon-woo responded to Jin Cheonhee’s words.

“You’re injured, brother.”

He briefly showed a worried expression before turning back to watch the exchange of blows between the two superhumans.

“Even if I wanted to help, it’s such a distant realm that I can’t intervene.”

A battle between masters on the verge of the Profound Realm.

Intervening in such a melee would only hinder them.

Jin Cheonhee judged that using this momentarily stagnant time to tend to and move the injured would be most efficient.

And among them, the only one who could do this was a physician, especially one specialized in emergency trauma like himself.

‘I’ve always seen scenes in martial arts novels where low-level characters just watch the battles of masters… I never thought I’d be swept up in one.’

Setting aside his awe for a moment, he realized it was like a timed emergency treatment session.

That’s right.

While the martial artists were filled with awe watching the one-on-one duel of the masters, facing off against the enemy.

Jin Cheonhee began stopping bleeding and suturing wounds in the back, fulfilling his duty as a surgeon.

Behind the legendary scene that enthusiasts talk about, some human struggle began.

“……”

Even the Blood Immortal Sect members looked at Jin Cheonhee as if watching someone slightly mad.

However, they couldn’t interfere with the physician’s treatment because the battle between the Two Emperors was so intense that they might get caught up in it if they weren’t careful.

‘I am the medic!’

Thinking of a high-level folk game joke that kids these days wouldn’t make, Jin Cheonhee became a human acupoint machine.

In this situation, if he didn’t think of even small things to laugh about, it would be hard for his mind to endure.

“Bear with the pain. I’m stopping the bleeding.”

Papapak!

“Kuaagh!”

“You need to live first. I’ll realign the dislocated parts. For the broken bones… at this level, I’ll use qi to reduce them. Three, two, one…”

Crrack!

For patients who could recover quickly, he focused on restoring bodily functions to some extent as a priority, while for patients in serious condition, he prioritized survival by focusing on stopping bleeding.

For patients beyond human ability to treat, even Jin Cheonhee had no answer.

In these cases, Hwanggu licked the patient’s forehead.

Because a miracle was needed.

“So this is how you use the Dual Mind-Intention Technique.”

Beside Jin Cheonhee, Cheon-woo silently assisted by taking out necessary items or holding patients.

“Yes. Even if we can’t save everyone, just these measures can turn someone who would die into someone who lives.”

A cold sadness seeped through his calm voice.

At that moment.

The masked figure’s gaze was felt.

“He’s smiling at you, brother.”

“…?”

At that instant, red sword energy plunged down towards Jin Cheonhee.

Kwagwagwang!

“You’re the seed of the half-immortal mentioned in the prophecy.”

When Jin Cheonhee, who had wrapped around a patient, opened his eyes, he saw Cheon-woo’s large back.

“Are you okay, brother?”

“What about you?”

“I’m fine. It wasn’t thrown with full force.”

What had cut through the red sword energy was white sword energy created by Cheon-woo.

Sword energy containing yin-yang martial arts had broken through the evil sword energy.

Jin Cheonhee’s retinas swelled.

It seemed that while fighting Fist Emperor, the masked figure had pulled out a strand of sword energy to attack.

Indeed, their battle was becoming more and more fierce.

At that moment, Fist Emperor’s afterimage slid away, and hundreds of fist forms flew towards the masked figure. And the masked figure responded to each and every one of them.

“Old man, are you angry? You suddenly went silent.”

“……”

As his two disciples were nearly harmed, Wudang Fist Emperor’s expression began to distort fiercely like a tiger.

The fighting spirit Fist Emperor was emitting made their skin tingle.

“Kuhahaha, don’t worry. I won’t attack those guys directly.”

“Why don’t you try it yourself?”

“If I give you such an opening, you’d take my head faster. You’re strong, and I’m… cunning.”

The masked figure swung the huge great sword with a whoosh and rested it on his shoulder.

“But I must take the seed of the half-immortal. So let’s do half and half.”

Half?

Kang!

The Two Emperors bounced away, creating distance. A strange standoff.

Then the masked figure looked down at them and said,

“Hello, seed of the half-immortal. I’m Lord Golden Heavens of the Blood Immortal Ten Heavenly Commanders. You’re quite pretty, just as the prophecy said. How lucky to catch the seed of the half-immortal here.”

Even in this tense standoff, he smiled and spoke to Jin Cheonhee.

It was a nonchalance as if he wasn’t in battle but on a pleasure trip. However, every word he spoke was thick with killing intent enough to make one nauseous.

A killing intent that would make an ordinary person vomit blood from their seven orifices.

Jin Cheonhee didn’t turn his gaze towards the masked figure.

“I wonder. Is it lucky?”

“Oh? What do you mean by that? Hmm…?”

Lord Golden Heavens saw the cloud mist creeping up the mountainside.

“The formation protecting Wudang Sect has already been restored and activated. The longer this goes on, the more advantageous it becomes for Wudang.”

At Jin Cheonhee’s words, even Wudang Fist Emperor looked surprised, his eyes widening.

“So that’s why you came injured. That’s what it was…”

Lord Golden Heavens’s mouth stiffened for a moment. Eventually, Lord Golden Heavens burst into laughter.

“Kuhahaha! The axis of the formation should have been guarded at the Vajra Hall, are you saying you defeated them all? And that you defeated that stubborn Vajra Blood Demon? Just by yourself?”

“……”

“I thought you were just a young dragon, but you’re a fully grown azure dragon! In that case… I must take you now, mustn’t I?”

Lord Golden Heavens, having made up his mind, spun his attitude around.

Not missing that opening, Fist Emperor’s figure split into a hundred, launching attacks.

Each one contained yin-yang martial arts at the level of Realm of the Mind Martial.

Lord Golden Heavens began to block them.

Amidst attacks so refined and fast they were invisible, Lord Golden Heavens spoke.

“Don’t be afraid to get swept up! I’ll clear the path, so grab the seed of the half-immortal! I’ll give a Demonic Blood Pill to whoever catches the seed of the half-immortal!”

Demonic Blood Pill.

At those words, the eyes of the Blood Immortal Sect members changed.

Once you take a Demonic Blood Pill, you can never return to a human body or human mind. However, it’s known as a blood pill that allows for immense power and immortality, even if you become a monster.

Having joined the Blood Immortal Sect, they had already abandoned the human way.

They were the type to ask what’s wrong with being able to achieve immortality and great power.

Indeed, their eyes changed with greed.

They immediately began to rush in.

Elder Fist Emperor tried to send out a fist wind right away, but.

Lord Golden Heavens intervened.

“Kikikik, where are you looking, old man…!”

Kagagak!

In that interval. Eventually, the Blood Immortal Sect’s group rushed in.

***

‘They know well that we’ll win if we just buy time now that the formation is activated. That’s why they’re doing this.’

Jin Cheonhee looked at the open space with cold eyes.

In the center of the open space, two absolute masters were engaged in a fierce battle.

Sword energy and fist energy were common, and sword qi was swaying like a storm.

Lesser martial artists couldn’t even dare to intervene.

To intervene in that intense battle, one had to be at least a transcendent master or a martial artist who had entered the Transformation Realm.

However, even such people couldn’t move properly.

This was because such individuals from both Wudang Sect and the Blood Immortal Sect were checking each other.

It wasn’t for nothing that the two absolute masters were fighting one-on-one like a duel.

In this situation, when Lord Golden Heavens’s order fell, those just below Lord Golden Heavens among the Blood Immortal Sect’s group moved with their subordinates.
