Chapter 52: Senior Surgeon Wang Wu (Part 1)

Negative‑pole True Qi has many uses; besides its excellent function in hanging life, it can also use its qi to perform ultra‑high‑precision scans of a human's internal structure and recreate it one‑to‑one in the rescuer's mind.

Its imaging quality in clarity and detail is, without doubt, far superior to all medical detection devices back in Wang Wu's hometown.

Moreover, the exclusive True Qi of the Negative‑pole Divine Sect, when paired with its specialized technique, is truly black‑technology within black‑technology.

Even if Wang Wu had no medical knowledge at all before, with this Negative‑pole True Qi he can, like a massive force, pull a dying animal back from the brink of death.

Broken bone? Fix! Torn intestine? Fix! One kidney damaged? Regrow! Heart rupture? Well, that one really has no solution; it dies too fast to be saved.

Alright, the ratio of those saved to those not saved is about fifty‑fifty, with a few more unsaved. And even the ones that are saved end up in the belly of the Four Demons, so their subsequent recovery can't be observed.

Mountain deer, wild boar, leopard and antelope are among the more common and relatively high‑grade animals in Wang Gu Lin. You can also find bears, tigers, rhinos and the like there.

Wang Gu Lin's area is enormous; including the Si Hun Shan portion it's roughly two‑hundred‑thousand square kilometers.

Not every part of it is ruins of the Great Shang Dynasty's Tongtian City; most of it is primitive forest that has scarcely been set foot in by humans since antiquity.

In the past this was the site of a Holy City, and civilians were forbidden from approaching. Now that it's called Wang Gu Lin, civilians around it naturally stay even farther away.

Thus the ecology here has remained pristine, with abundant animal resources. It has been neither over‑logged nor burned for farmland.

The spot where Wang Wu and his companions live is also very hidden and hard to locate. Even though the imperial army has swept the area, Wu Er Niang and Shu Niang managed to escape.

To be precise, only Wu Er Niang escaped; when the imperial forces were sweeping, Shu Niang was still a yellow weasel, and Zhu San Niang was a minor leader in the neighboring prefecture.

After a round of scanning, Wang Wu made an initial assessment:

This woman—no kidding—might actually be savable.

Although both of her kidneys are shattered, half her liver is gone, only a few intestines remain, and several other organs are a mess.

But at least her pill is still there; that Human Pill and the surrounding structures remain relatively intact.

Moreover, as a True Realm cultivator, her vitality is strong; those organs possess regenerative ability and aren't slow to do so— even without much intervention from Wang Wu, they slowly regenerate at a very gradual pace.

"Sss…" Retracting his hand, Wang Wu rose from the ground, crouched, rubbed his chin, and began contemplating a treatment plan.

In truth he has no real plan; he's just waiting for Zhu San Niang to send over spider silk. First, seal the hole in her abdomen; stitching is obviously impossible.

You can't stitch flesh that's gone; better to cover it and use Negative‑pole True Qi to stimulate regeneration.

As for whether this treatment is reasonable, since he already has Negative‑pole True Qi, there's no need to ponder reasonableness; sheer power does the job.

"You're injured, I think I have some method." After rubbing his chin for a while, Wang Wu said to Zhao Xingyue, offering her some mental comfort to steady her.

But when Zhao Xingyue heard Wang Wu's words, she replied with a seemingly unrelated remark:

"Be careful!!!"

At that moment Wang Wu sensed something, whirled sharply, and golden light burst from his palm, unleashing a palm strike behind him.

"Bang—!!"

Wang Wu flew straight backward, shattering the massive tree Zhao Xingyue was leaning against, crashing into the ground and splashing a huge cloud of earth.

At his former spot stood a robust, strikingly handsome man, also a peerless beauty among mortals.

His eyes glowed red, a grimace on his face, wearing only a tattered hakama, both bare feet sunk in the mud.

"Ha ha, more flesh, more flesh!!!"

He stared at Zhao Xingyue, drooling, his throat constantly swallowing—clearly famished.

The monsters of Si Hun Shan are all somewhat abnormal, and the blood‑soaked aura from prior battles naturally draws such aberrations there.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha… I want to eat, I want to eat…"

The man, saliva dripping, arched his body, his entire focus now fixed on Zhao Xingyue, because the attraction emitted by her Human Pill is lethal.

His body kept bending, coiled like a spring, then released. A massive surge propelled him forward, lunging at Zhao Xingyue on the ground.

"Dong—!"

A deafening blast sent earth scattering, along with chunks of flesh and bone; in a single second the man's body was hurled hundreds of meters backward.

"You damn beast, you're courting death!!!"

The flying flesh and bone shards struck Wang Wu's hard exoskeleton, instantly vaporizing. On Wang Wu's face, also sheathed in a black exoskeleton, his eyes glowed with a red dim light.

Even after a month of cultivation, Wang Wu theoretically still shouldn't be able to defeat a demon that has entered the True Realm.

But now, not only the fleeing monster belongs to the opponent; those scattered flesh and bone shards also belong to the opponent.

"Yi!! Yi!!!!"

In the distance, the monster he had punched away crawled out of the ground. Its face was smashed by Wang Wu's punch from the True Demon God, exposing shattered bone and flesh.

Moreover, its cervical vertebrae were broken; its head hung limp, yet it didn't die, instead dragging its head as it sprinted away at great speed.

Wang Wu merely stared coldly at its fleeing direction, watching it vanish into the woods.

Immediately, the yellow crystal on his forehead began to glow brighter and brighter. Upon reaching a threshold, a slender golden‑yellow beam shot out from the crystal.

"Pa!!"

Hundreds of meters away, a fleeing monster in the forest was precisely struck by the beam; its upper body exploded instantly, blood and flesh splattering the ground.

Its lower half, missing the upper body, kept hopping briefly, but soon lost balance, stumbled, fell, and ceased moving.

After a while, a massive figure appeared—it was Wang Wu in his Tian‑Demon form.

He approached the corpse, reverted to his original form, reached for the monster's body, extracted its Demon Pill, and walked away.

The forest fell silent again, leaving only a hissing carcass that continuously oozed demon blood.
