The Divine And Demonic Doctor [EN]: Chapter 432

Kkkkkkk.

With a chilling sound, Dan Akseon felt the space before him distort and twist.

He could see the dark black aura wall filling his entire vision, following Jong Geukjin’s slowly raised hand.

At the same time, a massive pressure he had never experienced before crushed his entire body.

‘Heavenly Gang Demonic Wall!’

Dan Akseon tensed up inwardly.

It was a supreme art of the Heavenly Demon he had witnessed in Kunlun [a mythical mountain range in Chinese mythology] in the past.

“Let’s see if you can withstand this too.”

Jong Geukjin sneered at Dan Akseon and slowly extended his hand.

Kwarrrrr.

Dan Akseon gritted his teeth, glaring at the aura wall surging in like a giant tsunami.

The aura wall rushed at him with such force that it seemed ready to crush him at any moment.

Retreating as he had done so far was not the answer.

In fact, there was nowhere to escape.

Dan Akseon poured all his strength into the Dark Dragon and swung it, striking the aura wall before him.

Kkaang!

With a harsh metallic sound, Dan Akseon felt a shock that seemed to crush his lungs.

The recoil was that immense.

The Dark Dragon, unable to withstand the impact, staggered as if it would break at any moment, and Dan Akseon was pushed back involuntarily.

Watching Dan Akseon, a faint smile formed on Jong Geukjin’s lips.

It was then that his figure disappeared.

“……!”

Dan Akseon was greatly surprised when Jong Geukjin suddenly appeared before him like a ghost.

It was already too late to counterattack with the Dark Dragon, so Dan Akseon hastily unleashed the Golden Thread Hand Technique to deflect the deadly auras first.

Kwang!

Fierce energies swept around.

Ttuk.

Dan Akseon struggled to suppress the scream that erupted.

His wrist was broken.

On the other hand, Jong Geukjin looked somewhat surprised, as if he didn’t expect Dan Akseon to withstand his attack.

But only for a moment.

Soon, a chilling smile curled up.

“The world will be amazed. A young boy who hasn’t even reached adulthood has withstood my attack.”

A thick murderous aura flickered above Jong Geukjin’s eyes.

“But the fact that you will die here remains unchanged.”

Dan Akseon glared at Jong Geukjin, still hiding his wrist where the pain was surging.

The Heavenly Gang Demonic Wall he had unleashed was still closing the distance, and Jong Geukjin occupied the only possible escape route.

However, Dan Akseon did not lose his composure.

“I admit your martial arts are impressive. But I told you.”

“……?”

“The more you try to kill me, the stronger the formation will become.”

“What?”

At that moment.

DeDeDeDe.

The floor Dan Akseon and Jong Geukjin were standing on began to shake.

And in an instant, a hazy black mist engulfed the two of them.

* * *

“Euhahaha! That’s it! This is it!”

Beom Gyewi’s thunderous laughter shook the area.

Peok!

The head of a Demonic Human rushing towards him exploded like a watermelon.

He was busy smashing the heads of the Demonic Humans with the Great Chaos Throwing skill without a break when suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.

“……?”

Beom Gyewi’s complexion turned pale as he turned his head, feeling a strange sensation.

A streak of dark light seemed to pierce through the blood-red mist, and he caught sight of Dan Akseon dashing through the gap created, disappearing into the formation surrounding the main building in an instant.

“Cho Hyung [term of respect for an older brother or male friend]! Witch!”

Cho Akryang and Han Seolhwa, who were taking down Demonic Humans in the distance, rushed over at once, startled by Beom Gyewi’s fluster.

“Why all the fuss?”

Cho Akryang, covered in blood, looked like a demon who had walked straight out of hell.

And the situation was not much different for Han Seolhwa.

She had cut down so many Demonic Humans that it was beyond even her clean-freakish personality to handle.

“If you’re going to spout nonsense again…….”

Han Seolhwa, who had opened her mouth with a cold expression, paused.

It was because Beom Gyewi raised his hand and pointed towards the formation where Dan Akseon had disappeared.

“Doctor Dan went in there alone!”

“What?”

“……!”

Cho Akryang and Han Seolhwa were aghast.

That was because there was no doubt that the Heavenly Demon was lurking inside.

Dismayed, they began to rush towards the central formation.

In their desperation, they unleashed all their divine might at once.

No matter how desperately the Demonic Humans charged, they could not stop the three of them from joining forces to clear a path.

Behind them, a thick shower of blood and limbs made of minced flesh scattered into the air.

Kwajik! Kwadeudeuk!

The divine might of the Three Divine Demons of Primacy, who charged forward like a giant siege ram, crushing everything in their path, was enough to make even their allies gasp.

Even the Demonic Humans, who had no reason left, flinched at the ferocious momentum and instinctively stepped aside.

Eventually, the three arrived in front of the building they were aiming for.

It was then that the formation surrounding the building began to change.

“Huh? What’s wrong with this?”

At the same time as Beom Gyewi’s bewilderment, Cho Akryang and Han Seolhwa’s expressions also hardened.

When Dan Akseon had first disappeared into it, it was in the form of a thick black mist writhing and swirling around the building.

But now, the black mist was tangled together, forming a black sphere.

Moreover…….

When they reached out their hands, a chilling demonic energy stuck to them.

Cho Akryang silently stared at it, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Koo-oong.

Cho Akryang stomped his foot with all his might.

The force traveled up his ankle, and following the spiraling motion, the energy, amplified by the rotation through his legs and waist, struck the black wall before him.

Peok.

“……!”

Cho Akryang’s eyes twitched.

The Full Power Entwining Silk Energy had disappeared without a trace, as if it had struck a cotton ball.

“Isn’t it strange? This is strange, right?”

Cho Akryang let out a groan at Beom Gyewi’s fuss.

Cheu-cheu-cheu.

A terrible chill swallowed the area at that moment.

It was Han Seolhwa.

Jjeo-jeo-jeok.

Han Seolhwa lowered her hand towards the pure white frost covering the black mist before her.

Jjaeng!

With a sharp sound, the frozen black barrier cracked open.

But only for a moment.

The writhing black mist quickly filled the empty space.

After that, the three continued to make other attempts.

But there was no way to deal with the black mist before them, which swallowed even energy, light, and even sound.

As time passed, the expressions of the three gradually became serious.

They were concerned that this had happened not long after Dan Akseon had disappeared inside.

After a while.

“Aish! Frustrating!”

Before anyone could stop him, Beom Gyewi threw himself into the black mist before him.

“That idiot!”

Cho Akryang, startled, was about to rush in himself when suddenly.

Beom Gyewi burst out of the mist.

“You?”

Beom Gyewi tilted his head at Cho Akryang’s bewilderment.

“When did Cho Hyung and Witch come in?”

Beom Gyewi, who had been puzzled, belatedly looked around and realized the situation.

“Huh? Isn’t this outside the formation?”

“You reappeared right after you threw yourself inside,” Cho Akryang said.

Beom Gyewi’s eyes showed embarrassment at Cho Akryang’s words.

“No way? I was definitely moving forward the whole time?”

“Hmm…….”

Cho Akryang’s eyes became serious as he groaned.

“I don’t know the exact principle, but it seems that the formation itself is distorting the sense of perception.”

“What? What does that mean?”

“It means that the moment you enter the formation, all your usual sense of direction becomes useless.”

Beom Gyewi scoffed.

“Cho Hyung, I’m Beom Gyewi. I’m not like those insignificant small fries.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Beom Gyewi flew back into the formation.

If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t have known, but now that he had grasped the situation, all he had to do was stay focused.

“Huh?”

But again, Beom Gyewi, who had walked out of the formation on his own two feet and faced Cho Akryang, showed embarrassment.

After that, he jumped into the formation several times, but the result was the same.

It was as if he had been possessed by a ghost.

No matter how reckless Beom Gyewi was, he couldn’t help but admit it when the situation turned out like this.

No matter how skilled a master with peerless martial arts, he was no different from a street thug in the back alleys inside.

The problem was that Dan Akseon was inside.

He couldn’t guess exactly what it was, but it was clear that a serious situation was unfolding inside.

It was then that a strange light appeared in Cho Akryang’s eyes.

“It seems that not only the formation has become strange.”

Beom Gyewi and Han Seolhwa, who turned their heads following Cho Akryang’s gaze, were finally able to recognize the situation unfolding around them.

It was the formation, but the actions of the Demonic Humans had also changed.

Even while fighting with their reason lost, they had desperately thrown themselves to block access to the building where the formation was installed.

But now, as if an invisible leash had been released, they were scattered in all directions, rushing towards the elites of the Central Plains [a region in Chinese martial arts stories, often associated with major sects and power struggles].

The damage to the allies was truly enormous.

Masters of the sect leader level, including the Heavenly Five Wonders, had a relative advantage, but the situation was different elsewhere.

It was truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

A gruesome sight reminiscent of a painting of hell unfolded in all directions.

However, Cho Akryang and the other Three Divine Demons of Primacy did not have the ability to save others right now.

They had to prioritize Dan Akseon inside the formation.

How much time had passed?

Cho Akryang, who had been pondering, came to a conclusion.

“Maybe the power is not enough.”

Beom Gyewi and Han Seolhwa, who exchanged glances with Cho Akryang, understood the meaning and nodded.

The method they had used to dissolve the external formation to enter the Divine Land in the first place.

What if they poured all their power at once like then?

Maybe the strange formation before them would be broken.

The three simultaneously gathered their energy and opened their energy fields, and a terrifying whirlwind engulfed the surroundings.

But at that moment.

“No!”

A desperate cry was heard from somewhere.

When they turned their heads to where the voice came from, they saw Jegal San running towards them, his face pale.

Peok!

Cho Akryang flew forward and kicked a Demonic Human rushing towards Jegal San.

The Demonic Human, his chest crushed, spewed out a waterfall of blood and fell away.

Cho Akryang grabbed Jegal San and returned to where the group was, opening his mouth as if to urge him.

“What does that mean?”

Jegal San, gasping for breath, replied with a pale face.

“You must never touch that formation!”

The faces of the Three Divine Demons of Primacy turned pale at Jegal San’s words that followed.

“Because the more you do, the harder it will be for Doctor Dan to return alive.”

* * *

“Keok!”

Blood gushed from Dan Akseon’s mouth.

The sudden black mist.

By the time he realized that it was the materialized Demonic Energy itself, the energy and blood in his entire body were already boiling out of control.

It felt as if scarlet lava was running through the blood vessels of his entire body.

At the same time, it felt as if a rusty, dull knife was cutting through the nerves of his entire body, slicing them into strands.

Subsequently, the muscles of his entire body convulsed, and his limbs began to twist uncontrollably.

It was right after that that a terrifying pressure that seemed to crush his limbs and flesh struck.

Terrible pain that mercilessly tore through his entire body!

“……!”

Dan Akseon couldn’t come to his senses.

He had overcome countless crises so far, but this was the first time he had experienced such a terrible ordeal.

He found it difficult to grasp what to do in the face of the immediate reality, as if he were facing hell alive.

But at that moment.

―Kuaaaak!

A faint scream was heard from somewhere.

‘Heavenly Demon!’

Dan Akseon bit his lip until it bled, realizing that it was Jong Geukjin’s voice.

He was not the only one experiencing a similar situation.

Joo-roo-rook.

Blood dripped down Dan Akseon’s chin.

But he was barely able to hold on to his fading consciousness with the stinging taste of blood filling his mouth.

It was then that a flash of lightning flickered in Dan Akseon’s eyes.

‘I see.’

Dan Akseon smiled bitterly.

The phenomenon that had happened to them.

He was finally able to pinpoint the reason.
