The Divine And Demonic Doctor [EN]: Chapter 155

The Divine Doctor of Supreme Cultivation (155)

“Just kill me!”

Gong Hyeon-ja cried out in a desperate voice.

“Is that how you ask for a favor?”

Gong Hyeon-ja paused.

But only for a moment.

He steeled himself to endure any humiliation for the sake of his only disciple.

“Please…….”

At that moment.

Hyeon-geom interrupted Gong Hyeon-ja.

“Please don’t, Master.”

Gong Hyeon-ja was surprised and turned his head towards Hyeon-geom.

Hyeon-geom, who should have been circulating his energy to fight the Mountain Collapse Poison, had opened his eyes and was looking at him.

“Even though I am in this state, I am also a disciple of the Common Gate. I will gladly endure it.”

“Hyeon-geom…….”

“If you yield to that person, I would rather bite my tongue and kill myself here.”

Gong Hyeon-ja was jolted back to his senses by the firm voice filled with unwavering determination, as if he had been splashed with cold water.

Gong Hyeon-ja silently gazed at his disciple.

Even while battling the pain akin to a demon, Hyeon-geom’s eyes were clear and calm.

Gong Hyeon-ja smiled faintly and nodded.

“Excellent. That’s my disciple.”

Gong Hyeon-ja engraved a different kind of resolve in his eyes.

“Let’s die like disciples of the Common Gate, even if we die.”

“I was happy to serve you, Master.”

“Thank you. Me too. Because you are my disciple…….”

Gong Hyeon-ja, choked with emotion, couldn’t finish his sentence.

“Ha.”

Hong Dan-yeop let out a dry laugh and frowned as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have.

“The master and disciple are putting on a show together.”

As Hong Dan-yeop slowly raised his hands, the surrounding scenery distorted.

It was a phenomenon caused by the intense Heat Yang Energy heating the surrounding air.

Stretching out his shimmering hand towards Hyeon-geom, Hong Dan-yeop mocked.

“The sect abandoned you, and even your master has given up on you.”

“Master is not wrong.”

Hong Dan-yeop turned his head and sneered at Gong Hyeon-ja.

“Watch closely. Although I will stain my hands with blood, it is your stubbornness that will kill your disciple.”

It was then.

Crack.

“……?”

A look of bewilderment appeared on Hong Dan-yeop’s face as he reached for Hyeon-geom’s crown [topknot].

For a moment, he didn’t understand why his hand was twisted so strangely.

But only for a moment.

His body staggered greatly from the sudden, intense backlash.

Thump.

The sound of thunder erupting not far away struck his ears at the same time.

Hong Dan-yeop was startled and turned his head towards the sound.

“Cho, you can kill one of them! What’s the rush?”

“I was going to wait a little longer if the master died.”

“Well, what would a disciple know?”

The figures of two people entering the compound, exchanging trivial conversation, came into view.

Their faces were not clearly visible as they were backlit by the burning sunset, but it was not difficult to guess their identities.

There were not many experts in the Jianghu [martial arts world] with such massive physiques.

“Mangshan Choja…….”

That wasn’t all.

The voice of another person was also familiar.

A monster he could never forget, even if he died and came back to life.

It was the very person who had taken three of his fingers in the past.

“Cho Ak-ryang……!”

Thud.

A small pebble fell to the ground at the same time.

It was the identity of the hidden weapon that had crushed his only two remaining fingers and his entire left hand.

His left hand was grotesquely twisted and broken, with bone fragments protruding through the skin.

He stared at the blood flowing between them with an ashen face for a moment.

“Kugh.”

Belatedly, Hong Dan-yeop groaned and stepped back.

He was overwhelmed with excruciating pain, but he was so shocked that he couldn’t even scream.

“H-How could you…….”

Ignoring his words, Cho Ak-ryang said.

“Why are you alone? Where are the other two?”

Hong Dan-yeop, who was cunningly rolling his eyes, quickly flew behind Gong Hyeon-ja and Hyeon-geom.

His hands were placed on top of each of their heads.

“If you come closer, these guys will die!”

Cho Ak-ryang and Beom Gye-wi exchanged glances and chuckled.

Then, without hesitation, they strode towards Hong Dan-yeop.

Hong Dan-yeop, flustered, shouted with a pale face.

“Stop! Surely you don’t want to see these guys die before your eyes, do you?”

But Cho Ak-ryang and Beom Gye-wi continued to close the distance without batting an eye.

“Why…….”

Beom Gye-wi picked his nose and replied nonchalantly.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and kill them.”

“What?”

“It’s a chance to pick your nose without using your hands, why would I refuse?”

Hong Dan-yeop’s face turned ashen.

He couldn’t possibly not know the animosity between the Nine Great Sects and them.

There was no reason for the Ten Evils to save the Common Gate.

Then, he belatedly remembered one fact he had overlooked.

“If these guys die, you won’t be able to get the signatures on the alliance list, will you?”

A strange light flashed in Cho Ak-ryang’s eyes.

“So, your purpose was to interfere with us.”

It was as he had guessed.

This also explained why they had killed the Kunlun disciples in Kunlun Mountain.

“Well, it’s unavoidable. We’ll take revenge and use that as an excuse to get the alliance list.”

At Cho Ak-ryang’s words, Beom Gye-wi urged Hong Dan-yeop.

“Hurry up if you’re going to do it. There are many things I want to ask you.”

Hong Dan-yeop’s pupils trembled.

He had to make a decision at this point.

If the distance closed any further, it would be impossible to even escape.

Judging so, Hong Dan-yeop flew backwards.

But before he could move even a few steps, a huge wall blocked his path.

Hong Dan-yeop, realizing it was Beom Gye-wi, instinctively swung his right hand.

“Die!”

The opponent was underestimating him and was off guard.

If he put all his strength into a desperate blow with his Twelve-Star power here…….

Perhaps he could overcome this crisis, he thought.

But that was just a vain hope.

Clench.

A hand as large as a pot lid grabbed his hand.

“Eek!”

Hong Dan-yeop, who had mustered all his life’s energy, poured his energy into his right hand.

Whoosh.

Red flames erupted from between the fingers of Beom Gye-wi’s hand that was holding his hand.

But…….

The sight of Beom Gye-wi being so calm made him feel bewildered.

“How?”

Even the Extreme Melting Flame Fire True Energy that he was so proud of was useless.

Beom Gye-wi slowly raised the arm holding Hong Dan-yeop’s hand.

When Hong Dan-yeop’s face, which only came up to his waist, came into his view, Beom Gye-wi grinned.

“With this, how are you going to warm the hands of children in the middle of winter?”

At that moment, Cho Ak-ryang intervened.

“Don’t kill him for now, keep him alive.”

“Tch.”

Beom Gye-wi, as if regretting it, smacked his lips and raised his true energy.

Then, he let out a meaningful laugh and released Hong Dan-yeop’s hand.

Thud.

Horror took hold of Hong Dan-yeop’s face as he fell to the ground on his buttocks.

He belatedly discovered his hand, where the flesh had melted and was all tangled together.

“Kuaaak!”

As he writhed in the belatedly overwhelming burning pain.

Crack.

Along with a chilling sound, a terrible pain surged from near his shin.

“Keuhak!”

But that wasn’t the end.

Snap. Crack. Snap.

As if terrible sounds erupted from Hong Dan-yeop’s body in succession.

His arms and legs were grotesquely bent and scattered on the floor.

Even though he was a vicious villain, the sight of him writhing like a soft-bodied animal, shedding tears and screaming, was utterly horrific.

Gong Hyeon-ja and Hyeon-geom were speechless.

They were simply dumbfounded by Beom Gye-wi’s merciless handiwork, which was as casual as tearing off the wings of a dragonfly.

“Dare to interfere with our Dan’s work?”

Beom Gye-wi, staring down at Hong Dan-yeop with cold eyes, sealed his blood points [pressure points].

“Keureureuk.”

Hong Dan-yeop, struggling in endless pain, eventually foamed at the mouth and fainted.

When the frantic, throat-slitting screams stopped, Beom Gye-wi finally smiled at Cho Ak-ryang.

“I kept him alive as you said.”

“Thank you, yes.”

Cho Ak-ryang, with a bitter smile, cast his gaze towards Gong Hyeon-ja.

“You were poisoned by the Mountain Collapse Poison, right?”

Cho Ak-ryang and Beom Gye-wi had already arrived here a long time ago.

However, they had only hesitated for a while to assess the situation.

He wanted to get information about the others through Hong Dan-yeop, who seemed to have a loose tongue, but he had no choice but to step in because he was trying to use lethal moves without considering the consequences.

“…….”

Perhaps because of his pride, Gong Hyeon-ja frowned and remained silent.

Cho Ak-ryang fully understood his position as there was a lot of animosity between them.

Cho Ak-ryang approached Hong Dan-yeop.

If he had released the Mountain Collapse Poison, he would naturally have the antidote as well.

But there was a problem.

When he searched his clothes, he found two medicine bottles.

It was difficult to distinguish which was the Mountain Collapse Poison and which was the antidote.

“Give them to me.”

While Cho Ak-ryang was hesitating, Beom Gye-wi reached out and snatched the two bottles.

Beom Gye-wi, looking back and forth at the two porcelain bottles, opened the lid of one of them and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.

Gong Hyeon-ja and Hyeon-geom, who were watching the scene, were startled.

As expected.

Beom Gye-wi frowned.

“This is the Mountain Collapse Poison.”

Beom Gye-wi placed the porcelain bottle containing the Mountain Collapse Poison next to Hong Dan-yeop and approached Gong Hyeon-ja and Hyeon-geom with the remaining bottle.

“W-What are you doing……, cough!”

Gong Hyeon-ja, who was horrified, coughed.

This was because Beom Gye-wi grabbed his chin with his rough hand and poured the powdered medicine contained in the porcelain bottle into his mouth.

Hyeon-geom was the same.

“How is it? Does it seem to be working?”

At those words, Gong Hyeon-ja closed his eyes and began to circulate his energy, thinking that he had nothing to lose.

Gong Hyeon-ja, who had completed one cycle as quickly as possible, said to Hyeon-geom.

“It’s the antidote. Hurry up and take a meditative rest.”

“Yes, Master.”

Hyeon-geom also closed his eyes and began to circulate his energy.

Gong Hyeon-ja, who confirmed the scene, entered into circulation again.

How much time had passed?

Life returned to the eyes of the two people who opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

Fortunately, they had detoxified the Mountain Collapse Poison without much loss of internal energy.

Of course, there was some loss, but it was enough to be bearable.

“Oh, no!”

Then, Hyeon-geom, suddenly remembering something, burst out in embarrassment.

“Why?”

At the master’s voice filled with worry, Hyeon-geom pointed to Beom Gye-wi with a flustered face.

“There is no antidote left for him to take!”

Gong Hyeon-ja, who belatedly remembered that Beom Gye-wi had taken the Mountain Collapse Poison, also could not hide his embarrassment.

On the other hand, Beom Gye-wi was calm.

“Ah, this? It’s nothing. It’s different if I ate it without knowing, but I ate it knowing, so what.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Beom Gye-wi raised his true energy [internal energy].

In an instant, the surrounding air surrounding him seemed to become hot.

“Burp.”

A terrible stench was emitted with a burp.

Beom Gye-wi grinned at the sight of the two masters and disciples looking at him with dumbfounded eyes.

“I told you it’s nothing.”

However, the two people who had experienced hell for ten days bound by the terrible Mountain Collapse Poison could not believe what was happening before their eyes.

After a while.

Gong Hyeon-ja opened his mouth with complicated eyes.

“Why are you saving us?”

“Your words of gratitude are very unique?”

Gong Hyeon-ja flared up at Cho Ak-ryang’s cynical retort.

“Even if it wasn’t you, the main faction would have…….”

Beom Gye-wi cut him off.

“After you guys died? No way. Looking at the atmosphere now, it seems like they won’t come even if you die?”

“…….”

Gong Hyeon-ja closed his mouth with a troubled expression.

“We are not in a relationship where we can have a friendly conversation, so let me ask you briefly. How many were the attackers?”

Gong Hyeong-ja answered briefly to Cho Ak-ryang’s question.

“There were three of them.”

“One of them is Poison Evil Rakshasa, Sa Young-hui, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Who is the other one?”

“I don’t know. He was wearing a mask and didn’t talk much…….”

Cho Ak-ryang nodded and stepped aside.

“I don’t think I need to see you off, do I?”

Gong Hyeon-ja frowned at those words, as if his pride had been hurt.

“Let’s go.”

Cho Ak-ryang chuckled at the sight of Gong Hyeon-ja, who was stubborn and staggering as he moved his steps.

Still, Hyeon-geom, who was worried, carefully opened his mouth.

“Master, shouldn’t we at least express our gratitude?”

“Have you forgotten that they urged that damn hunchback to kill us?”

“Yes? But…….”

“The priority is to return to the main gate first. Let’s go back and discuss it.”

Cho Ak-ryang was slightly dumbfounded at those words.

And this was the same for Beom Gye-wi.

“I told you, they’ll only come after we die. Why would we eat Mountain Collapse Poison for those guys? It’s just a waste of taste.”

Gong Hyeon-ja pretended not to hear Beom Gye-wi’s voice, which was shouting loudly as if he wanted them to hear.

At least Hyeon-geom, who had a sense of shame, bowed politely to the two of them and hurriedly followed his master.

“We just saved them out of necessity, there’s no reason to pay attention to them. It will be helpful for what Dan is trying to do, so that’s enough.”

At Cho Ak-ryang’s words, Beom Gye-wi soon lost interest in them.

Instead, Beom Gye-wi lowered his head and stared at Hong Dan-yeop.

Thud.

“Keuheok!”

Beom Gye-wi kicked his side with all his might, and Hong Dan-yeop, whose blood points were released, coughed up blood and regained consciousness.

Beom Gye-wi forcibly lifted him up and shoved the remaining Mountain Collapse Poison into his mouth.

“Now, since it’s just us, shall we have a cozy conversation?”

Beom Gye-wi smiled brightly at Hong Dan-yeop, who was trembling pitifully as if he had been doused in ice water.
