Rebirth of the Thunder God

"Do not approach!"

Namgung Hui frowned at the bodyguards' shouts and asked.

"I am here to provide support. Do I look like I'm on the same side as these Black and White Twin Elders?"

"That's right. How are we to know if you're reinforcements? It's possible you're just acting to deceive us."

When Namgung Hui thought about it, the Heretic Faction was certainly capable of plotting such a conspiracy.

Since the unorthodox martial world was originally a place where such conspiracies and schemes were rampant, it would be stranger to believe them readily.

But it wasn't as if Namgung Hui had no way to prove his identity, so he smiled and sent a telepathic message.

-Sect Leader. It's me, Namgung Hui. Do you remember me?

The Divine Physician Sect Leader, who didn't know how to send a telepathic message, just stared at Namgung Hui with a slightly surprised look.

Then, as if he had realized something, he nodded his head and said.

"I think he's the person I know. Step aside."

Namgung Hui circled around to the opposite side of the Black and White Twin Elders and stood next to the Divine Physician Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader's clothes were torn here and there, as if he had suffered quite a bit in the process of getting here.

As Namgung Hui examined the Divine Physician Sect Leader's appearance, he smiled awkwardly and continued.

"Being popular regardless of age or gender is more tiring than I thought. Hohoho."

The people who came to see the Divine Physician Sect Leader truly did not discriminate by gender, and it didn't matter if they were young or old.

Because only the sick had business with the Divine Physician Sect Leader.

Of course, there were also those who came with wicked intentions like the Black and White Twin Elders in front of him, but because of the bodyguards around, such things rarely happened.

The Black and White Twin Elders looked at the newly appeared Namgung Hui with displeased eyes.

"Even if one more meddler has been added, you will not be able to interfere with our event. Sect Leader. Instead of killing one more innocent person, how about you just follow us obediently? Will you refuse the medicinal wine and choose the punishment wine?"

"Black and White Twin Elders. There is a wine made as a punishment, and it is very good for the body."

"Wine made as a punishment? Are you talking about hornet wine? But why are you suddenly bringing that up?"

"So. Isn't it that the punishment wine becomes the medicinal wine? So this time, I will offer you a cup. Twin Elders. Please withdraw. The friend here is a man who is difficult to handle, no matter how strong you masters are."

"What kind of wine jar-like talk is this? Are you planning to bluff with just one reinforcement? Sect Leader. You've underestimated us too much."

The more Namgung Hui listened to the Black and White Twin Elders' words, the more he felt dizzy.

'Is it because they've drunk too much? Is it because they're old? It feels like they've gone senile.'

He called the punishment wine medicinal wine.

He called water wine.

And he was calling a nonsensical thing a wine jar.

He knew they usually liked to drink, but perhaps due to their frequent drinking, they seemed to be going back and forth in their old age.

"Old men. Why on earth are you trying to take the Sect Leader? As far as I know, the Heretic Faction Leader is still in good health."

"It's not for the Faction Leader, but to treat someone else. What's with that expression? Do you think we're lying? Tsk, tsk. I swear on the stage name of the Black and White Twin Elders that there is a real patient."

Namgung Hui shook his head and said.

"It's not a stage name, but honor. And it's not a strange person, but a poet, right? This also sounds strange, but anyway. Twin Elders. If there is a patient, you have to say who it is so that the Sect Leader here can make a house call or not, right?"

The Black and White Twin Elders exchanged glances and then nodded their heads.

"Our granddaughter is sick. Very sick."

"That's right, that's right. Our hearts are also in pain."

"We came to take the Sect Leader before we get sick at heart too. Because our granddaughter is too sick to even move."

As it didn't seem like the Black and White Twin Elders were lying, the Divine Physician Sect Leader asked with a serious expression.

"Can you tell me the specific symptoms?"

"Her body is very cold. So much so that it's difficult to touch her. We even gave her hot wine, but there was no improvement."

"That's right, that's right. It was a very strong wine..."

"What?! Wine? Who gives wine to a patient!!"

The Divine Physician Sect Leader, who was so angry that he even let out a lion's roar.

In his common sense, giving wine to a patient was an unacceptable act.

Even from Namgung Hui's perspective, wine was fatal to a weakened patient.

It could cause other diseases, and if one was not careful, they could even lose their life.

"Ahem! So is that why the child suddenly can't get up?"

"This is a big problem, a big problem! It's because of you, older brother, that the child can't get up."

"When we caught a cold, we got better after drinking wine. It's strange. Anyway. Our granddaughter is sick, so please help us, Sect Leader."

The Divine Physician Sect Leader let out a deep sigh and shook his head.

"If it were up to me, I would want to treat her right away, but I have a prior appointment, so it will be difficult for now. First, the patient I promised to diagnose..."

"Go!! Even when we show our sincerity like this, you say you can't. Are you trying to mock us!!"

"That's right, that's right! Our granddaughter is on the verge of death, so we don't have time to wait."

Just when things seemed to be going smoothly, the Black and White Twin Elders did not bend their will.

Perhaps because their granddaughter's life was really in danger, they did not give an inch.

The Black and White Twin Elders, having finally decided to use force, were raising their momentum and stealthily approaching.

"No matter how strong that man is. He won't be able to handle the two of us. Younger brother. You take that man. I'll take these folding screens."

"That's right, that's right. Since I'm younger, I should take the younger one."

Although the Black and White Twin Elders spoke ridiculously, their martial prowess was by no means to be ignored.

Even if Namgung Hui dragged out the time and waited for Jang Hwang or other people, it would only be a hindrance, and it was meaningless in a fight between such supreme masters.

If so, Namgung Hui and the people here had to subdue the Black and White Twin Elders...

'Wait. Anyway, I've already revealed my identity to the Divine Physician Sect Leader. And since they are like the Divine Physician Sect Leader's servants, it doesn't matter if I use all my true ultimate techniques, right?'

The situation was not bad.

Rather, it was a golden opportunity that could be seen as good.

If he eliminated the Black and White Twin Elders of the Heretic Faction, it would indirectly reduce the power of the Hoicheon Association.

Although it was unfortunate for the Black and White Twin Elders' granddaughter, if the number of people who died because of those two old men decreased, it would be a boon for the orthodox martial world.

The younger of the Black and White Twin Elders, the Black Elder, rushed at Namgung Hui first.

-Swoosh!

A hand flew towards Namgung Hui.

And on that hand blade, a dark and reddish hand light was formed.

The hand light, which flew, cutting through the fresh air of the mountain, clearly revealed its intention to cut off Namgung Hui's breath in one go.

-Kang, kang, kang!

The hand light and the sword light clashed successively, chasing away the innocent mountain birds.

The leaves that had piled up around were also blown away, and in the aftermath, the narrow mountain path felt a little wider.

But even so, the Black Elder, who still thought the mountain was narrow, scattered his palm techniques repeatedly.

-Pang! Pang! Pang!

The palm technique performed by a master of the Transformation Realm was nothing short of a disaster.

Even a large rock lost its shape and disappeared, and even the scattering grains of sand could not leave a trace.

"..."

A contradictory situation that was both loud and quiet.

The Black Elder, who had created this situation, was still not satisfied and strained his face, which was already full of wrinkles.

"Child. Your feet are as nimble as a squirrel's. It's the first time I've seen a child faster than my older brother."

"Faster than me? That fellow must be quite something!"

The White Elder, who was pushing back the bodyguards, spoke with a relaxed tone.

The Black Elder nodded at his brother's words and stopped his hand for a moment.

"The Sect Leader shouldn't get hurt, but I have no choice. To catch this fellow, I have no choice but to go all out. Tsk."

The Black Elder, who clicked his tongue and changed his stance.

And it wasn't just his stance that was changing.

A fiercely boiling hostility and internal energy.

The internal energy of an old martial artist who had lived for a whopping 100 years was so deep that it was impossible to fathom.

A profound internal power that had accumulated like the wine they had been drinking until now.

It rode the Black Elder's palm and roared towards Namgung Hui.

-Rumble! Pang, pang, pang!!

As he performed a palm technique over the entire front with the technique of striking a god and hitting a cow, the palm forces collided with each other, the trajectory was twisted, and they flew in from various angles.

To be able to apply the principle of issuing force like this, it wasn't for nothing that they said old ginger was spicy.

On top of that, the great power it carried was not just grand, but majestic.

Not only was the range wide to simply dodge, but even if he dodged, the aftermath would cause considerable damage to the Divine Physician Sect Leader.

That was why the Black Elder had hesitated, and conversely, it seemed he was confident that Namgung Hui would block it.

As the Black Elder had expected, Namgung Hui launched a counterattack.

He switched his sword to the Thunder God Sword for the first time in a while and activated the Purple Thunder Ki inside his body.

Now, the mastery of the Purple Thunder Divine Art had deepened, and a special function had been added.

A technique that made the Electrode Opening of the Thunder God Divine Art even more powerful and raised its effect and efficiency to the fullest.

Thunder Extreme Ki.

While bringing less burden than the overload that had been on his body before, it rather exerted an even more outstanding effect.

The already sensitive sensory organs of his body opened up even more and sensed the surroundings.

In addition, the muscles also held a lot of strength and were ready to move nimbly at any time.

The Thunder Ki, which was coiled in his Dantian, also waited for Namgung Hui's command.

-Chijijijik!

A state of full readiness.

While Namgung Hui was deploying the Thunder Extreme Ki, the palm forces that were still approaching from all directions had not progressed much.

Although the reason was that the Thunder Extreme Ki had been activated so quickly, one of the functions of the Thunder Extreme Ki was to make time flow more slowly.

Of course, it wasn't that time was actually flowing slowly, but a function that was manifested only in the realm that Namgung Hui perceived.

As if the suppressed anger had exploded, the Thunder Ki rode the Thunder God Sword and leaped out into the world.

Thirteen Flashes of Thunder. Ninth Stance, Berserk Thunder.

A feast of Thunder Ki that spread widely, just like the name of the stance.

A blue flash left several afterimages and split the air.

A radius of one zhang boiled with Thunder Ki.

-Kwagwagwagwang!!!

A powerful Ki wave that seemed to swallow even the sound of piercing the air.

What was swallowed by the Thunder Ki was not only the noise that was swirling around, but also the Black Elder's palm force.

The Black Elder's palm wind, which had disappeared after colliding with the Thunder Ki that Namgung Hui had shot out.

The Black Elder looked at the empty atmosphere and frowned his few remaining eyebrows.

"...Child. You must have eaten a lot of good things for your body. If you have any left, would you mind giving some to our granddaughter?"

"I'm about to cry with worry for your granddaughter. Unfortunately, for a symptom like your granddaughter's, you shouldn't carelessly give her not only wine, but also medicine."

"Yes. Let's say that's the case with wine. Since her body is cold, wouldn't it be right to give her a spirit medicine full of yang energy? Seeing the energy you're emitting, it seems to be full of yang energy, so it would be fine to catch you and feed you to her. Heul, heul, heul!"

Was he really thinking of a human sacrifice?

Since he was spouting such erratic words, the Black Elder's words did not sound like a joke.

And theoretically, Namgung Hui's internal energy would be good for a patient with a cold body.

Because it could be healed through the principle of yin-yang union.

In fact, didn't human blood contain innate Ki as well as internal energy?

'If it's a disease where the body gets cold, could it be Severed Meridians Syndrome?'

Originally, the disease called Severed Meridians Syndrome was a rare constitution and disease seen once in a generation.

Since Eun Seolrin had suffered from the symptoms of Ice Soul Poison, not Severed Meridians Syndrome, it was not a strange situation for someone to be suffering from Severed Meridians Syndrome.

Rather, if it were such a difficult disease, the Divine Physician Sect Leader would also have to waste a lot of time.

The Divine Physician Sect Leader had to go to the Golden Merchant Guild right away to treat Hwang Sujin's father.

And he also had to find another way in preparation for Seong Sohui being appointed as the Saintess of the Blood Cult.

In other words, he couldn't go to the Heretic Faction's camp to take care of a patient.

As it was, wasn't the Heretic Faction the camp of the Hoicheon Association?

There was no need to invite the danger of being detained for no reason.

"Even if your granddaughter is suffering from Severed Meridians Syndrome. You shouldn't carelessly give her a spirit medicine of yang energy. If her condition has worsened to the point that she can't even move, you have to give her a body-nourishing spirit medicine in order. If her body has become that cold, it will require a huge amount of yang energy, so to be able to withstand that energy. You have to supplement her body first..."

"Hehehe! Older brother. Let's catch this fellow. He's well-versed in theory. And if it doesn't work, we can just catch him and feed him to her."

At the Black Elder's words, the White Elder, who had been facing the bodyguards, suddenly turned around.

Perhaps because he had taken it as a serious remark, not a joke, he immediately rushed at Namgung Hui with a fierce momentum.
