Doctor’s Rebirth - Chapter 185

‘A short-term battle. They’ll likely try to quickly take down me and the Wudang Sect people. Moreover, Jeong Gwang… I can’t predict how that person will move. This won’t be easy…’

Jin Cheonhee rapidly ran through his thoughts.

‘Among the enemies, there are six supreme masters. On our side… I sense five. With me, it’s six, so the numbers are the same, but one of those six is Jeong Gwang. What should I do?’

Jeong Gwang was in the Wudang Sect’s camp on the allied side.

He looked like he had fought hard enough to be covered in blood, but Jin Cheonhee thought it was just a disguise.

‘I need to find a way.’

“Hehehe… Lord Golden Heavens demands your blood.”

“Obediently offer your necks!”

Two strange figures in red and blue robes.

They were notorious villains known widely in the martial world as the Yin-Yang Twin Demons.

Both were supreme masters, and it was rumored that their Yin-Yang Twin Combination Technique could handle four supreme masters and even defeat a master of the Transformation Realm.

Of course, Jin Cheonhee knew about these two as well.

In fact, these two later appeared as one of the mid-level bosses, blocking Yeo Ha-ryoon’s path.

These six stepped forward at the forefront of the Blood Immortal Sect group.

The other four, besides the Yin-Yang Twin Demons, were all characters that would appear later one by one.

The giant wielding two axes, Blood Demon Twin Axes. The one using a sickle as a weapon, Evil Blood Wicked Sickle.

The Cold Yin Ice Demon using yin energy.

The Killing Evil Devil Sword who enjoys slicing people to death with his sword.

All the characters that Yeo Ha-ryoon would later defeat one by one had gathered!

The ones lined up behind them were also the elites of the Blood Immortal Sect and jiangshi.

At a glance, they appeared to be powerful demonic creatures, not just copper jiangshi but iron jiangshi or higher.

However.

Hiss. Hiss.

As they touched the mist, smoke began to rise from the jiangshi’s bodies.

“Tsk. Brother Yin. We need to finish this quickly. If we stay in this formation for too long, all the jiangshi will be ruined.”

The Killing Evil Devil Sword speaks to one of the Yin-Yang Twin Demons.

“Brother Yang’s words are correct. Everyone, hunt the sacrifices!”

The enemies charged in.

“Deploy the Taiji Seven Stars Sword Formation!”

In response, as the Wudang Sect Leader shouted, all the Wudang Taoists drew their swords and spread out in formation.

And the two groups clashed.

The first to exchange blows were the Wudang Sect Leader, Grandmaster Jeong Hyeong, and the Yin-Yang Twin Demons.

As slightly imperfect sword energy rippled from Grandmaster Jeong Hyeong’s sword, drawing the taiji symbol, the two Yin-Yang Twin Demons faced him barehanded.

What was surprising was that both of them, though not sword energy, had wrapped qi around their hands like cocoons.

The power of the two, who charged in with shapes like thick skeins of thread, was not only withstanding the Sect Leader’s sword energy but even pushing him back.

Simultaneously, other supreme masters clashed with each other. And in between, the Wudang Taoists, the Blood Immortal Sect’s jiangshi, and their martial artists began to fight in a tangled mess.

“Brother! Don’t leave my side!”

Cheon-woo shouted from beside him. But Jin Cheonhee naturally didn’t listen to those words.

“You be careful!”

“Brother!?”

Jin Cheonhee immediately moved away from Cheon-woo’s side and threw himself into the heart of the battle. Since the Yin-Yang Twin Demons were facing the Sect Leader, the allies effectively had six supreme masters excluding the Transformation Realm Sect Leader. The opponents had five supreme masters.

In other words, Jin Cheonhee could move freely!

‘I need to reduce the enemy numbers before Jeong Gwang makes his move!’

Jin Cheonhee glanced briefly at Jeong Gwang, who was displaying sword techniques with one hand against a supreme master of the Blood Immortal Sect, and then turned his head away.

He had to handle things quickly.

The first thing to do was to join the Wudang Sect’s forces.

[Sect Leader. This is Jin Cheonhee, the lay disciple.]

Flinch!

When he sent the voice transmission, the Sect Leader’s body momentarily paused. But as expected of a Sect Leader who had entered the Transformation Realm.

He immediately continued fighting fiercely with the Yin-Yang Twin Demons.

[I know a way to take down the jiangshi. I’ve faced them before. Please listen to me from now on. Time is of the essence, Sect Leader!]

[Very well. What is this method?]

Grandmaster Jeong Hyeong’s reply came immediately.

[Please move the Life Gate one step back while keeping the Death Gate in place to circulate.]

“Hmm.”

The Sect Leader slightly furrowed his brow.

Normally, it would be right not to listen to any advice about the sword formation from an outsider like Jin Cheonhee.

However, he was the sole inheritor of the Zhuge Clan and a prodigy who had found and restored the Zhen Axis without being taught.

His judgment was quick.

Even while fighting the Yin-Yang Twin Demons, he raised his internal energy and shouted.

“Life Gate, one step back!”

If it was just taking one step back, it wasn’t difficult. As a result, the yang Life Gate moved backward, and the yin Death Gate moved forward.

Step.

This change began to create a great circulation.

The moment they charged towards the visible Life Gate, it swung closed, and the hidden Death Gate behind it opened and used its sword.

A sword formation resembling a dance began to circulate.

That’s not all. The effect of the sword formation had a corresponding effect on the formation encompassing the entire Wudang Mountain.

The sword qi and fist qi of the Wudang Taoists became more pure. In contrast, the enemy’s energy was gradually being restricted.

“Argh!”

“Aack!”

Blood Immortal Sect members began to fall in droves.

Seeing this, Grandmaster Jeong Hyeong couldn’t help but be amazed.

‘Has he already fully grasped the essence of our sect’s Taiji Seven Stars Sword Formation!’

Sect Leader Grandmaster Jeong Hyeong, while amazed, calmly moved his sword.

“Damn it! Brother! We need to take down this long-nosed bastard quickly!”

“We must end this before the power of the formation grows stronger!”

The Yin-Yang Twin Demons were getting anxious. At that moment, Jin Cheonhee sent another voice transmission.

[To neutralize the jiangshi’s energy, you need to attack with yin and then strike with yang to break them. If you target the joints instead of the body, they can be easily destroyed.]

[Attack with yin and then destroy with yang?]

[Yes.]

[How did you…]

Instead of answering, Jin Cheonhee said this:

[There’s no time.]

While the Blood Immortal Sect members – who appeared to be cultists in the eyes of the Wudang Sect Leader – were falling, the jiangshi were not going down.

The formation was weakening the jiangshi, but it would take at least a few hours to render them incapacitated.

“Attack with yin and then destroy with yang! Those who have mastered the Clear Yin Skill and Red Yang Skill should attack, while others defend according to the sword formation!”

The Wudang Sect does have martial arts that deal with yin energy and yang energy. And when these martial arts were used, the effect was immediately apparent.

The cold energy created by the Clear Yin Skill slashed at a jiangshi’s shoulder joint.

Clang-

A metallic sound rang out, but it didn’t penetrate. However, when the yang energy of the Red Yang Skill immediately struck the shoulder again, something unexpected happened.

Crack!

The jiangshi’s shoulder split apart as if shattered.

The jiangshi, having lost one arm, tried to attack with the other. But its attack was blocked by another Taoist’s defense, and it struggled.

And then, a sword and hand imbued with the power of the Clear Yin Skill and Red Yang Skill approached the jiangshi’s head.

Thud!

The jiangshi collapsed on the spot.

“It’s effective!”

“Wooaah!”

The first victory for the retreating Wudang Sect.

Seeing this, Jin Cheonhee immediately rushed towards the Killing Evil Devil Sword.

[Sect Leader! Be careful of Grandmaster Jeong Gwang! I will first lend my strength to take down these enemies.]

[Jeong Gwang? Disciple Jin, what do you mean by that!?]

The Sect Leader asked back in surprise. His movements also became slightly disturbed due to the shock, allowing the Yin-Yang Twin Demons to push him hard.

Seeing that he could no longer communicate as his hands and feet became confused, Jin Cheonhee headed straight for the Killing Evil Devil Sword.

***

Killing Evil Devil Sword.

There are many types of sword techniques, but the Killing Evil Devil Sword’s blade is a vicious killing sword.

It’s a sword technique designed to kill people, originally an assassin’s sword technique.

Clang clang clang!

The Killing Evil Devil Sword exchanged sword blows with Elder Jeong Hak, delighting in it.

“Hahaha! The flesh of these Wudang nobodies is so tender, isn’t it?”

Excited at the thought of cutting into the Taoist’s flesh, he licked his lips, flicking his tongue.

The sword qi of the Killing Evil Devil Sword drew arcs as it slashed.

Each time, large and small lines of blood were drawn on Elder Jeong Hak’s body.

The sword technique that persistently targeted only vital points was not easy to counter with Wudang’s sword techniques.

No. It must be because the martial arts of the one facing the Killing Evil Devil Sword were inferior to his.

‘Was my martial arts this shallow?’

He was angry at his own dullness.

His days had been spent entangled in the petty power struggles of the Wudang Sect. It was only natural that his martial arts had become dull.

‘Your sword has dulled, Jeong Hak. It has dulled.’

Elder Grandmaster Jeong Hak, facing the Killing Evil Devil Sword, lamented inwardly. But he did not retreat.

If he retreated, the disciples of Wudang would be massacred.

Even with the power of the sword formation, they wouldn’t be able to hold out long against the killing sword of a supreme master.

So he was desperately holding on.

Clang!

At that moment, the sword blade was cut off.

It was because he couldn’t properly maintain the sword qi.

Now that the sword clash had eaten away his sword, it was time for his head to fly.

‘Hut!’

Jeong Hak tightly closed his eyes.

“…!”

However, nothing happened.

A warm liquid flowed down his face. When he opened his eyes, Jin Cheonhee was there.

“Are you alright?”

The Killing Evil Devil Sword trembled with his arm pierced by Jin Cheonhee’s Ice Clarity Sword.

What was strange was that the part touched by the Ice Clarity Sword seemed to freeze solid.

Jin Cheonhee immediately pressed the Killing Evil Devil Sword’s acupoint to knock him unconscious and then destroyed his danjeon.

Boom!

The series of movements flowed so quickly it was unparalleled.

“Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. Even if we destroy the danjeon of such individuals, they might go berserk with their evil demonic skills, so we must be careful.”

Then he cut off the meridians in all four limbs.

“He won’t wake up for a week. I trust Wudang can handle him.”

This was all he could do.

He meant to leave the rest to Wudang.

‘He’s an eccentric. Truly an eccentric.’

His master, White Dragon, was a world-class eccentric, but his disciple Little White Dragon was also an eccentric in a different sense.

“I understand.”

“…”

Jin Cheonhee immediately looked for Jeong Gwang.

He saw Jeong Gwang finishing off his opponent with just one arm.

Jeong Gwang’s opponent was the Cold Yin Ice Demon. He fell forward with a scream.

‘Is he really down?’

Jin Cheonhee looked with suspicious eyes and briefly surveyed the surroundings.

Everyone was fighting fiercely in various places.

After taking down the Cold Yin Ice Demon, Jeong Gwang began to approach the Sect Leader who was in a fierce battle with the Yin-Yang Twin Demons.

‘Is he trying to stab the Sect Leader in the back, ignoring Lord Golden Heavens’s orders?’

Lord Golden Heavens had clearly ordered to deal with Jin Cheonhee himself. However, a faint killing intent was emanating from Jeong Gwang.

It was difficult to notice in the midst of the fierce battle, but Jin Cheonhee could sense it because he was suspicious of Jeong Gwang.

He approached the Sect Leader.

Of course, there was no definitive proof that Jeong Gwang was a traitor. But the motive and the method, everything was possible for Jeong Gwang.

Decisively, dealing with a high-ranking member of the Blood Immortal Sect with just one arm?

No matter how hard he fought, it didn’t make sense.

If Jeong Gwang had been the type to focus solely on martial arts from the beginning, things wouldn’t have come to such a catastrophe.

‘Either way… I can’t just leave it be.’
