Doctor’s Rebirth

Chapter 128



Chapter 128

Boom!

At that moment, the Heavenly Thunder Hawk struck lightning in the sky.

The sound drew the attention of the person in black and the strange individual.

That’s when!

“Urgh…aaagh…!”

Hwanggu’s muzzle attacked the vital point of the man.

The person in black couldn’t even scream loudly and slowly collapsed forward.

As his hand lost strength due to the unbearable pain, the Heavenly Thunder Hawk’s baby escaped.

Flutter-

The strange individual muttered in surprise.

“What the…!”

Simultaneously, Jin Cheon-hee’s Ice Clarity Sword slashed at the strange individual’s neck.

Clang!

Unlike the person in black, the strange individual seemed quite strong, blocking Jin Cheon-hee’s Ice Clarity Sword with his fist.

“Who the hell are you!”

“What good would it do you to know?”

At that moment, a powerful lightning current flowed through the Ice Clarity Sword.

‘Lightning technique?’

Zap!

The electric current shocked Jin Cheon-hee, temporarily stiffening his body.

Just as the man was about to launch a second attack, the Heavenly Thunder Hawk shot lightning at him.

Boom-!

The man immediately distanced himself.

That was fortunate.

Jin Cheon-hee quickly circulated his Five-Elemental Divine Technique to disperse the lightning energy.

‘Did they send someone who mastered lightning techniques to capture the Heavenly Thunder Hawk?’

As Jin Cheon-hee loosened his arms and swung his sword, the man stuck out his tongue.

“Kekeke, to disperse lightning fired from this distance. You’re no ordinary person.”

Jin Cheon-hee replied.

“Who are you!”

In fact, he already knew who these people were.

But if he said, “I know you’re from the Blood Immortal Sect, and I’m here to interfere!” it might lead to, “What! You know our identity? Is there a spy among us? We must inform the sect!” Then they’d flee and return with elite forces to kill Jin Cheon-hee, which would be unfortunate.

‘I’m still too small, delicate, and fragile to face the real deal from the Blood Immortal Sect. Ah, I’m worried.’

Jin Cheon-hee casually thought something that would have made Yoo Ho retch and ask if he was crazy if he had heard it.

‘Anyway, no islander knows that Little White Dragon came to this island. In this situation, let’s pretend I came because I coveted the spiritual creature.’

It’s half true. A half-truth.

Jin Cheon-hee thought.

A good adult should also be good at deception.

“Kekeke. This lord found the Heavenly Thunder Hawk first, so give up, child.”

Jin Cheon-hee responded to those words.

“Putuo Temple gave me permission to meet the Heavenly Thunder Hawk. This is unauthorized poaching!”

Even righteous martial artists search for the Heavenly Thunder Hawk with bloodshot eyes, so such words wouldn’t work on a villain.

However, Jin Cheon-hee deliberately acted coy, pretending to be a naive young master who didn’t know much about the martial world.

“Keke. I don’t know what nonsense you’re spouting, but it doesn’t matter anyway. Now that you’ve seen this lord, you should let go of your attachment to this world. Besides, with that fairly pretty face, the Immortal Lords will be pleased with your skull.”

Murderous intent.

‘So he has no intention of letting me live anyway.’

It seemed likely.

Jin Cheon-hee finished calculating how to deal with the strange individual before him using the Profound Origin Divine Technique.

‘Phew… Lightning technique, huh.’

Jin Cheon-hee had also handled lightning while learning the Ten Steps Divine Spear.

‘This guy must be using a pure demonic art method to control lightning energy.’

However, Jin Cheon-hee uses a method of combining lightning energy through the Five-Elemental Divine Technique.

“If you don’t come, this lord will come to you first.”

At that moment, Jin Cheon-hee’s form disappeared, leaving only afterimages.

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Thunder Hawk also began attacking the strange individual.

Boom!

The blue lightning bolt fired by the Heavenly Thunder Hawk flew towards the strange individual.

“It’s useless anyway…”

The man, seemingly unfazed by the Heavenly Thunder Hawk’s attack, shot lightning towards Jin Cheon-hee.

A lightning bolt several times more magnificent than what the Heavenly Thunder Hawk had fired flew towards Jin Cheon-hee like a sword energy blast.

‘I expected this.’

If that lightning hit him directly, even Jin Cheon-hee would die.

The opponent was stronger than Jin Cheon-hee.

Judging by the aura he emitted, he seemed even stronger than the Dry Wood Blood Demon.

Jin Cheon-hee condensed the metal energy of his Five-Elemental Divine Technique into the Ice Clarity Sword.

Kiing-

Then, reading the path of the incoming lightning, he threw the sword with perfect timing.

Boom!

Surprisingly, the lightning struck the Ice Clarity Sword instead of Jin Cheon-hee. And that Ice Clarity Sword immediately sent the electricity into the ground.

“I wonder if you know about lightning rods.”

When there’s a pointed metal object at a high place, lightning strikes it. And that lightning is then sent to the ground to resolve the issue.

This prevents fires caused by lightning.

It’s a simple principle discovered by Benjamin Franklin.

“No! How did you handle this lord’s lightning…?!”

The strange individual before him was flustered.

It must have been even more so because no one but Jin Cheon-hee uses the Five-Elemental Divine Technique in this way.

At that moment, Jin Cheon-hee’s afterimages dispersed and he appeared before the man’s eyes.

Jin Cheon-hee’s fist flew towards the strange individual’s solar plexus using the Internal Breaking Palm technique.

The strange individual immediately surrounded his body with lightning.

His momentary panic passed, and a smile spread across his face.

If Jin Cheon-hee were to throw his punch like this, it was obvious that his entire body would be electrocuted by the demonic lightning technique.

Jin Cheon-hee’s fist struck the man’s solar plexus.

Boom–!

Surprisingly, Jin Cheon-hee wasn’t electrocuted at all and put strength into his fist.

“Urgh!”

The strange individual spat blood and was flung backward.

One strike.

With just a simple strike that contained the subtleties of the Three Disasters Fist technique, the man’s internal organs were shaken.

“No! What did you do?!”

“What good would it do you to know?”

“What…?!”

At that moment, the strange individual’s eyes widened.

It was because earth energy was surrounding Jin Cheon-hee’s fist.

He had surrounded his hand with earth energy to make it an insulator and then promptly punched the solar plexus.

“It’s the Five-Elemental Divine Technique. Five-Elemental Divine Technique! Yes. That huge dog and inhuman beauty. You must be the top disciple of Divine Doctor White Dragon, Little White Dragon?”

At that moment.

Crunch, an eerie sound rang out.

It was the sound of Hwanggu completely tearing out some organ of the body.

Surprisingly, the testicles were torn off, but the person in black didn’t die.

He just fainted, foaming at the mouth.

Jin Cheon-hee said in surprise.

“As expected of a demonic technique. How can he survi…ve that.”

The person in black was just unconscious but still alive, despite experiencing pain that could have caused death from shock.

Seeing this, Jin Cheon-hee thought.

‘Torture probably wouldn’t work well on these guys, huh?’

With this level of pain tolerance, that was to be expected.

Woof! – Master, I’ll protect you!

The strange individual before them also paled at this sight and said.

“Kuh… You… How dare you interfere with our sect’s business.”

“Your sect? What’s that?”

Jin Cheon-hee continued to feign ignorance.

After this much interaction, Jin Cheon-hee could guess what kind of person this was.

Lightning Spirit Grandmaster[1].

The Blood Immortal Sect is a sect that originated from a branch of Taoism.

Taoism is fundamentally a place where people practice to become immortals, so those with deep cultivation are often called True Persons (or Masters. 眞人 – those who have realized the truth of Taoism) or Superior Persons (or Immortal. 上人 – those who have risen high through deep study).

That’s why in sects like Wudang or Huashan, they use titles like Moon Spirit Grandmaster and so on.

This person before him was one of the mid-level bosses of the Blood Immortal Sect. As someone who has mastered the martial art called Lightning Spirit Divine Technique, he wields a power called Lightning Spirit True Energy.

His internal energy has electrical properties, and its power could be described as lightning shooting out from his hands.

‘No. Should I call him the Black Lightning Blood Demon?’

As mentioned before, among the villains in martial arts stories, especially among the mid-level bosses, there are quite a few with the title of Blood Demon.

I don’t know why the title of Blood Demon is so appealing to villains’ eyes, but anyway, Blood Demons appear quite frequently.

There are several sister products to Blood Demons.

Dry Wood Blood Demon, Extreme Poison Blood Demon, Ice Block Blood Demon… and so on exist.

And the name Lightning Spirit Grandmaster is used within the Blood Immortal Sect.

In the martial world, they just called this strange individual before them the Black Lightning Blood Demon.

This is because the Lightning Spirit Divine Technique he uses combines with the demonic arts of the Blood Immortal Sect, causing the lightning to appear black.

He himself preferred the alias Black Lightning Blood Demon over the title Lightning Spirit Grandmaster.

Something about the title Blood Demon seems to stir the blood of villains.

‘I hope the Dry Wood Blood Demon I faced wasn’t the weakest among the Blood Demons.’

The Black Lightning Blood Demon’s internal energy is also at the level of one and a half Grandmasters.

Jin Cheon-hee pondered if it might be a property-converted version similar to the Dry Wood Blood Demon.

“You blocked this lord’s lightning energy with the earth energy of the Five-Elemental Divine Technique? Then I’ll beat you to death directly!”

Zzzzt! Crackle!

Black-tinged lightning overflows from the Black Lightning Blood Demon’s body.

As befitting a master of the Transcendent Realm, he controls that lightning properly.

As the lightning surrounding his entire body writhed, it looked like watching a living Tesla coil.

‘That was possible? The novel’s description is completely accurate.’

Seeing that, Jin Cheon-hee tensed up.

The Black Lightning Blood Demon, as befits a mid-level boss, fights fiercely with Yeo Ha-ryoon in his own way.

The novel described how he fights, so Jin Cheon-hee already knew his fighting style.

‘The opponent can use lightning to instantly accelerate his body’s speed. He can also enhance his overall physical performance, and the lightning itself can paralyze the opponent. He can both attack and defend, which is really troublesome.’

He’s a tricky opponent.

At the same time, using the Profound Origin Divine Technique, Jin Cheon-hee calculated how he could deal with the Black Lightning Blood Demon using his scientific knowledge, the Taiji Immortal-Destruction Sword, and the Five-Elemental Divine Technique.

‘I can block the electrocution effect with earth energy, and I can also defend against the lightning attacks themselves, so the opponent will rely on instant acceleration and physical enhancement to charge in. In that case, it’s best to turn this into a battle of strength, technique, and speed!’

What remains is the amount of internal energy Jin Cheon-hee has.

‘I don’t need to protect my entire body with earth energy. I’ll predict the path of the opponent’s attacks and distribute earth energy only to the necessary parts. That would be more efficient.’

It’s the same method as when he just wrapped earth energy around his fist to attack earlier.

This is a feat that only someone like Jin Cheon-hee, who has full control over his body’s meridians through Bone Transformation, can perform.

Bang!

As soon as Jin Cheon-hee finished thinking, the Black Lightning Blood Demon charged in.

‘Profound Origin Divine Technique, thought acceleration!’

The speed around Jin Cheon-hee becomes extremely slow.

This was because his thought speed accelerated with the Profound Origin Divine Technique, making it feel as if time had slowed down for everything except himself.

Nevertheless, the Black Lightning Blood Demon’s speed was incredibly fast.

‘Damn! If I had just charged in, I would have spilled my brains in one exchange?’

He was the fastest among all the enemies Jin Cheon-hee had encountered so far.

But Jin Cheon-hee’s thought speed was much faster than his speed.

Jin Cheon-hee immediately drew his sword and deployed the sword techniques of the Taiji Immortal-Destruction Sword.

Spot!

The Black Lightning Blood Demon’s hand came in at a tricky angle, and its movement was snake-like.

Even for a master of the Transcendent Realm, it was a lightning-fast movement that was almost impossible to react to, but since the Taiji Immortal-Destruction Sword that Jin Cheon-hee had learned was also a swift sword technique, he responded and the blade slashed the Black Lightning Blood Demon’s hand.

Clang!

Despite the collision of hand and sword, there was a sound of metal clashing, and they bounced off each other.

Moreover, this didn’t slow down the Black Lightning Blood Demon.

He immediately swung both hands like whips, attacking from both directions.

Jin Cheon-hee raised his sword diagonally to deflect both hands, and simultaneously took a thrusting stance and stabbed with his sword.

It was the Flowing Clouds Piercing Heaven[2] technique of the Taiji Immortal-Destruction Sword.

Just as its name suggests, piercing through clouds, the sword moves like a soft cloud to block the opponent’s attack and then thrust.

Unlike the flashy Twenty-Four Exquisite Thunder Sword, it’s a counter-technique that softly counters the enemy’s attack.

Clang!

However, the Black Lightning Blood Demon kicked off the ground, retreated backward, and blocked the sword with both hands.

They had exchanged attacks in less than a second.
