Doctor’s Rebirth - Chapter 186

Jin Cheonhee reduced his presence. Then he too stealthily approached the place where the Sect Leader and the Yin-Yang Twin Demons were engaged in a fierce battle.

Eventually, Jeong Gwang arrived near the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader glanced at Jeong Gwang once and smiled.

It was a natural reaction since an ally had appeared.

Jeong Gwang was already right behind the Sect Leader, while the distance between Jin Cheonhee and Jeong Gwang was at least ten steps.

And at that moment, Jeong Gwang raised his sword and shouted.

“Kuhahahahahaha! Finally, this day has come! Die, Jeong Hyeong!”

A sudden burst of laughter. And killing intent.

As the Sect Leader was greatly startled, Jeong Gwang’s sword moved to stab him in the back.

In that critical moment.

Jin Cheonhee was already moving.

Swoosh!

Clang clang clang!

Jin Cheonhee, who had unleashed the Heavenly Energy Mystifying Stride to its extreme, flew like lightning and blocked Jeong Gwang’s sword as he descended.

Jeong Gwang shouted in anger at this sight.

“You lowborn scum, how dare you!”

At that moment, the Sect Leader also realized that Jeong Gwang had tried to stab him in the back, that he had tried to betray him.

“Disciple…? What on earth is this…?”

The Yin-Yang Twin Demons didn’t miss the moment when Sect Leader Grandmaster Jeong Hyeong fell into confusion.

“Hahaha! Long-nose, where did you leave your mind?”

Boom!

“Kuhak!”

The Sect Leader’s body was sent flying high.

Though Jin Cheonhee was worried about the sight of the Sect Leader spitting blood and flying away, he couldn’t move to save him.

“I’ll kill you and then kill that Jeong Hyeong!”

Crack!

Jeong Gwang’s once dangling arm, now swollen with muscles, came rushing towards Jin Cheonhee.

***

‘Well, this is a mess.’

Jin Cheonhee calmly faced Jeong Gwang, who was charging at him, with his thought acceleration activated.

The Sect Leader was flying away, injured.

But he wasn’t dead.

Moreover, since Jin Cheonhee himself had dealt with the Killing Evil Devil Sword, the elder who had been facing him would also be rushing over here.

Glancing at the Sect Leader, Jin Cheonhee could see that despite his expression full of shock and pain, his fighting spirit was still alive.

Looking around again, he saw that the jiangshi were being neutralized one by one.

The effect of the sword formation and Wudang Mountain’s formation.

These two were creating a synergy effect, and half of the Blood Immortal Sect members had already been dealt with.

On the other hand, more than twice as many Wudang Sect members had survived compared to the Blood Immortal Sect.

In the original story, the Wudang Sect had been on the brink of annihilation, but this time, many lives had been saved.

‘Good. For now, the Sect Leader is safe. And if I deal with Jeong Gwang while buying time, we’ll win.’

As he organized his thoughts, he saw the monstrously swollen hand approaching.

‘Wudang Ten-Segment Golden Palm! As expected of an elder!’

The Ten-Segment Golden Palm, one of the secret palm techniques of the Wudang Sect.

Though not comparable to the Taiqing Mountain Hand Technique, it was recognized as an extraordinary skill.

It was said to have the power to shatter rocks with a single hand movement.

‘Wow, I get to see Wudang Sect techniques used with the power of the Blood Immortal Sect.’

What a terrifying hybrid this was.

Jin Cheonhee, who had learned quite a bit of Wudang Sect martial arts, immediately recognized the opponent’s technique.

Because of this, he could think of an appropriate countermeasure.

‘A palm technique of hard and soft unity. But its weakness is that it’s slow.’

Jin Cheonhee drew his sword into his chest. Then he began to manipulate his internal energy in a peculiar way.

‘Taiji Immortal-Destruction Sword. Taiji Splitting Rays.’

Bang!

A small explosion occurred inside his body.

It was as if the gunpowder packed in a bullet had exploded. The propulsive force created this way accelerated the sword at a terrifying speed.

An incredible speed that even a supreme master would find difficult to respond to!

“Kuk!?”

Jeong Gwang turned the direction of his Ten-Segment Golden Palm technique towards the sword in anger. And when the sword and palm technique collided, there was a sound like a bomb exploding.

Boom!

“Kuaak!”

Jeong Gwang’s hand was sent flying, torn to shreds.

In contrast, Jin Cheonhee’s arms were tingling and his palms were torn, but he hadn’t suffered major injuries.

The effectiveness of the spiritual weapon Ice Clarity Sword.

‘My left hand that was injured before is hurting like hell, but it’s okay. I can still use it a bit more.’

Jin Cheonhee immediately readjusted his stance.

It was a hard-won advantage. These were lives he had barely managed to save.

If he faltered here, it would be over.

“My hand! My haaand! You! My hand and arm… How dare you! How dare youuu!”

Red energy flowed from Jeong Gwang’s eyes. The muscles all over his body began to swell.

‘The side effects of the Demonic Blood Pill are starting in earnest!’

Hup.

Jin Cheonhee took a deep breath. Then he shouted.

“Jeong Gwang is a traitor! He has betrayed Wudang and become one of the evil cult!”

Jeong Gwang’s height had already increased by two chi, and his body was so swollen with muscles that he could no longer be seen as human.

That appearance, looking like a monster or demon, would have been obvious to anyone even if Jin Cheonhee hadn’t shouted.

However, they were in the midst of fighting while forming a sword formation against the Blood Immortal Sect group.

Naturally, confusion was bound to arise among the Wudang Sect Taoists.

Nevertheless, Jin Cheonhee shouted about Jeong Gwang’s betrayal.

It was then.

The Sect Leader’s voice rang out.

“Jeong Seon, Jeong Gwon, stop the traitor Jeong Gwang! Jeong Hak, assist me!”

He was shouting while engaging in a fierce battle with the Yin-Yang Twin Demons again, after having been sent flying while spitting blood.

Though seriously injured, he was still exerting all his strength as he could still move.

At the Sect Leader’s cry, the Wudang Sect elders moved.

Grandmaster Jeong Hak, who had been freed thanks to Jin Cheonhee’s help after confronting the Killing Evil Devil Sword, descended like a cloud next to the Sect Leader and thrust his sword towards the Yin-Yang Twin Demons.

At the same time, Grandmasters Jeong Seon and Jeong Gwon approached near Jin Cheonhee and extended streams of sword qi. And simultaneously, Jeong Gwang, now in a state of lost reason, was charging towards Jin Cheonhee.

‘Jeong Seon, Jeong Gwon. It will take at least three breaths for the two to reach my side. There’s time for at least three attacks from Jeong Gwang. If I can just get past that, dealing with Jeong Gwang will be easy. I’m quite injured too, and I only have about 30% of my internal energy left… The best move here is to defend firmly!’

Jin Cheonhee spun his sword to change his stance.

Clang!

He blocked Jeong Gwang’s attack with the Ice Clarity Sword.

The earth-walking qi sent to his legs held his center of gravity firmly, and he endured steadily with metal-generating qi.

Using wind-cloud qi to continuously deflect attacks to the side, Jin Cheonhee silently blocked the sword strikes.

“You young punk! How dare you, how dare youuu!”

Surprisingly, the sword technique Jin Cheonhee was using was the Little Green Sword^[1].

Both Jeong Gwang’s fists and Jin Cheonhee’s sword contained the same Wudang martial arts.

The Ten-Segment Golden Palm^[2] was an extraordinary skill incomparable to the Little Green Sword.

With just the Little Green Sword, which lay disciples learn, he was blocking the Ten-Segment Golden Palm.

Jeong Gwang felt a deep sense of humiliation and jealousy at this transcendence of martial arts hierarchy.

‘It’s because of the Dual Mind-Intention Technique. It’s because of the Dual Mind-Intention Technique. If I had the Dual Mind-Intention Technique too, I wouldn’t be blocked by such inferior skill!’

But hadn’t he consumed the Demonic Blood Pill?

His body that had grown over two chi, perfect physique, reflexes. His thought acceleration speed was so quick and clear that he wondered if he had ever been this agile in his entire life.

Moreover, the killing urge unique to the Demonic Blood Pill kept whispering how to deliver the most fatal attack.

At that moment, Jin Cheonhee’s sword changed again.

The way he struck with the flat of the blade rather than the edge was almost like a palm strike.

‘Ten-Segment Golden Palm…?!’

He had never heard that this child had been taught the Ten-Segment Golden Palm.

Nor had he ever heard of using the palm technique Ten-Segment Golden Palm with a sword.

Only then did he discover his own habits in Jin Cheonhee’s attack.

He had created an annotated version of the Ten-Segment Golden Palm in the Zhuge Clan’s style.

He was applying it according to the five elements method and striking back in exactly the same way!

Boom!

“You thief! Skill thief!”

“…”

Jin Cheonhee didn’t answer.

Because he had no energy left to respond.

He was just doing his best to block Jeong Gwang by squeezing out all the energy in his body.

If even a single palm strike touched a vital point, he would die.

Even if it didn’t touch directly and just grazed him, there would be no way to avoid a fatal wound.

He could only hope that his Ice Clarity Sword would endure, his internal strength would endure, and his reason would endure.

The Profound Origin Heaven and Earth Divine Technique responded to his survival instinct.

His accelerated thoughts stimulated creativity.

After presenting the correct sword path, it suddenly presented a different, distorted sword path.

Instead of thrusting along the correct sword path, Jin Cheonhee chose the sword path that would allow him to survive.

Clang clang clang!

When this battle ends, will it be him who survives? Or will it be Jeong Gwang?

Whatever happens, one thing is certain.

One of them will die tonight.

Finally, the two elders arrived.

“Little White Dragon! We’ll help you!”

“Huaaap!”

The two hall elders launched a surprise attack on Jeong Gwang.

Sword qi containing the mysteries of taiji slashed Jeong Gwang’s back in the midst of the chaotic battle.

However, surprisingly, the sword qi failed to cut his skin.

“Kuhahaha! You old fools. Do you think your sword qi will work on me?”

Jeong Gwang reached out and grabbed Grandmaster Jeong Seon’s head.

“I’m not someone who can be defeated by you, who prefer meat-eating games over training.”

“Jeong Gwang… How on earth… Kuk!”

Jeong Gwang then slammed Grandmaster Jeong Seon into the ground.

Boom!

Seeing a person being embedded like a doll, Jin Cheonhee gritted his teeth.

‘Is it harder than the Vajra Blood Demon, or even more so?’

Though they had neglected training in the rotting Wudang Sect, it shouldn’t have been to the level where attacks wouldn’t work at all. But seeing how easily he ignored it made Jin Cheonhee’s teeth chatter.

Jin Cheonhee immediately sent a voice transmission.

[Please buy me some time.]

At Jin Cheonhee’s words, Grandmasters Jeong Gwon and Jeong Seon nodded without a word.

[Understood.]

It wasn’t just Jeong Gwang who had seen the Little Green Sword change into the Ten-Segment Golden Palm.

Having realized that the elders’ swords weren’t effective, they were in a state of grasping at straws.

And one more thing.

Regret about the past.

It also contained regret for themselves, who had sworn to dedicate everything to martial arts in their youth, but had somehow become corrupted.

[Cheon-woo!]

[Brother. Don’t worry. I’ll protect you even if I die.]

Cheon-woo, who had just finished a large chaotic battle, passed by Jin Cheonhee’s side and thrust his sword towards Jeong Gwang.

Jin Cheonhee took out a red fruit-like pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

‘I’m using what I was saving for emergencies like this.’

This is not something from the righteous sects.

It’s a pill he learned to make from Bloodborne Elder Eccentric, with the ability to temporarily cause internal energy to go berserk throughout the body.

Black Vitality Blood Pill.

However, unlike those used in evil sects and demonic cults, it doesn’t cause the user to go berserk until death.

It only takes effect for about half a quarter-hour after consumption and then dissipates.

It could be called an ambiguous pill that belongs neither to the righteous sects, evil sects, nor demonic cults.

Jin Cheonhee felt that this medicine was somehow similar to his own situation.

-Use it well, kid. After using it, you’ll feel like dying for about a week. Kekekeke!

On top of that, he forcibly pressed his blood points to temporarily open his yang meridians.

‘Tomorrow, I’ll be in so much pain I’ll wish I were dead.’
