Chapter 188: Can't Save

In the operating room, Lu Xiao's Seven Orifices were oozing blood beads that grew denser, and the condition worsened.

Sikong Tu's hand holding the Golden Needle trembled slightly, yet he forced himself to stay calm.

"What are you panicking about! Group Leader Lu's injury is too severe; my Huichun Needle Technique is forceful, she would have to be void of any restorative energy for this to happen!"

He inhaled deeply and took another set of finer silver needles from the brocade box.

"In a moment, Old brother will forcefully use the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles to revive her life! However, this technique carries huge risk; whether she lives depends entirely on her own fate!"

"No matter how great the risk, we must try!"

Lei Zhen stepped forward, threatening in a tone of extreme indifference.

"Sikong Sir, Lu Xiao is the only Blade-Establisher of the Lu family for three generations! If anything happens to her, the Lu family won't let you off, and the Dragon Group will pursue the matter to the end!"

At those words, Sikong Tu's complexion turned deathly pale, and the silver needle in his hand nearly slipped out.

He certainly knew the weight of the Lu family's Blade-Establisher, whose backing was so powerful that he could not afford to provoke it.

"I... I will do my best!"

Sikong Tu swallowed, no longer daring any slack, pinched the silver needle and swiftly pierced Lu Xiao's Ren Zhong acupoint, then quickly placed needles on the thirteen critical acupoints.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Lu Xiao's movements.

But as the final silver needle fell, Lu Xiao's condition not only failed to improve, it worsened. The blood from the Seven Orifices turned dark red, and her chest rose and fell almost imperceptibly.

"Useless! Still useless!"

Director Li could no longer hold back.

He angrily pointed at Shao Jinpeng's nose, his eyes full of fury.

"I told you already! The needles of Divine Doctor Jiang cannot be removed! You refused to listen! Originally Group Leader Lu had stabilized, now you've messed her up like this! If she dies, I will report to Jingcheng immediately and make you pay!"

Shao Jinpeng trembled all over from the shouting, left only with deep terror.

He looked at Lu Xiao's barely alive state, his lips trembling.

"I... I didn't expect this... Maybe... maybe we should call Jiang Feng? He previously revived Group Leader Lu, perhaps he still has a way now!"

At those words, the operating room fell silent instantly.

Lei Zhen furrowed his brows, his face so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.

But Lu Xiao could die at any moment; he had no other choice.

"General Deng, go contact Jiang Feng to save her!"

Lei Zhen clenched his teeth and spat out a sentence, his tone full of resentment.

"Yes!"

Deng Guangxu dared not delay, quickly took out his phone and dialed Jiang Feng.

The phone rang five times before being answered.

Jiang Feng's voice carried a hint of impatience.

"What is it?"

"Mr. Jiang! It's bad!"

Deng Guangxu's voice changed pitch from his haste.

"Group Leader Lei arranged for someone to remove your silver needles; now Group Leader Lu's Seven Orifices are bleeding, and Sikong National Hand is powerless! Please come to the hospital quickly to save her!"

"Removed my needles?"

Jiang Feng's voice instantly cooled.

"I said early that the needles must not be moved; you didn't listen, now that trouble occurs you come to me? Too late, I'm powerless."

"Don't, Mr. Jiang!"

Deng Guangxu, on the verge of tears, pleaded repeatedly into the phone.

"Group Leader Lu is truly near death, only you can save her! Please, come quickly!"

"I can go as well."

"Let Lei Zhen come personally to invite me."

Having said that, Jiang Feng hung up the phone directly.

Deng Guangxu clutched the phone, his face ashen as he looked at Lei Zhen.

"Group Leader Lei, Mr. Jiang said... said he will only come if you personally invite him."

"What?"

Shao Jinpeng exploded instantly.

"Jiang Feng is so arrogant! It's the modern age yet he still puts on airs! Group Leader Lei, you are the Dragon Group Grandmaster, how can you go ask that rogue doctor!"

"Jiang Feng!"

Lei Zhen's fists clenched, making a crackling sound.

But looking at the barely breathing Lu Xiao on the operating table, he inhaled deeply and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I'll go! As long as I can save Lu Xiao, this grievance means nothing!"

…

Elsewhere, in Ji Shi Tang.

Jiang Feng hung up, lowered his head and looked at the two men beneath his feet.

His foot lightly rested on the boss's shoulder.

The boss's complexion changed slightly, and he let out a muffled hum.

"Who exactly are you?"

The boss, hoarse, spoke, his gaze sharply fixed on Jiang Feng.

"We are at least Fifth Grade Grandmasters; even pursued by Long Qianyan we can escape, so why are we powerless in your hands?"

Third Brother also spoke up.

"Your strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Grandmaster; who exactly are you?"

They are death soldiers, having long placed life and death beyond consideration.

The only lingering doubt now is the true identity and terrifying power of the young Doctor before us.

Huo Siyong stood nearby, watching the two's hard-spirited demeanor, and couldn't help to curl his mouth.

"You've already become prisoners beneath the stairs, yet you still act so overbearing? If my Master hadn't shown mercy, you'd have been dead long ago!"

Jiang Feng ignored their questioning, simply leaning against the chair back while waiting for Lei Zhen to arrive.

Before long, the doors of Ji Shi Tang were pushed open, and Lei Zhen entered briskly, bringing Shao Jinpeng with him.

The two had not even noticed that two men, their bodies riddled with injuries, were still kneeling on the Ground, and they rushed straight to Jiang Feng's side.

Shao Jinpeng frowned, his tone still bearing that lofty attitude.

"Jiang Feng, consider this my one plea: Group Leader Lu is now hanging by a thread; hurry and come with us to the hospital! Stop putting on airs—do you really think we can't manage without you?"

Yet his gaze still carried contempt, as if sending Jiang Feng to rescue someone were a tremendous favor to him.

Lei Zhen also stood nearby, his tone stiff.

"Jiang Feng, if you save Lu Xiao, the benefits will certainly include you."

Jiang Feng lightly flicked his toe, kicking the two Grandmaster death soldiers beneath him to Shao Jinpeng's front.

"These are the individuals your Dragon Group has a warrant for; take them back and report. As for the rest, I can't intervene…"

Lei Zhen saw the two and felt a jolt in his chest.

"These… are the two Grandmasters who escaped? How did you manage to capture them?"

Although the two had previously worn masks, Long Qianyan had fought them before and had already described their features to Lei Zhen, so Lei Zhen immediately recognized them.

He never imagined that the two who had given the entire Dragon Group headaches would now be kicked around by Jiang Feng like dead dogs.

Could this kid still be a master?

With that, Lei Zhen's heart burned even hotter.

After all, the stronger Jiang Feng is, the more it proves his Prescription truly works.

Shao Jinpeng was also shocked that Jiang Feng could take down two Grandmasters, but at this moment he clearly cared more about Lu Xiao's life or death.

"Jiang Feng, regardless, go with us to the hospital and save the person."

Seeing Jiang Feng unmoved, Shao Jinpeng gritted his teeth and slammed his knee heavily onto the Ground.

"I kneel before you! Jiang Feng, I beg you to act and save Group Leader Lu!"

He did kneel, yet his lofty demeanor remained unchanged, as if this single kneel were a monumental sacrifice.

Jiang Feng glanced at him, a hint of mockery curling his mouth.

"Can't save them."

"Why?"

Shao Jinpeng glared at him.

"You could save before; why can't you now?"

"I could save before because my needle was still in place."

"You fool, you insisted on pulling out my needle, ruining my Healing. Now her Meridians are severed, Qi is chaotic, even an Immortal would be useless."

Shao Jinpeng's face instantly flushed purple‑red, both ashamed and angry, yet he could not refute.

Lei Zhen stepped forward, exuding the Grandmaster's oppressive aura.

That lofty demeanor was laid bare, his tone full of threat.

"Jiang Feng, Lu Xiao cannot die; you must save them, whether you wish to or not!"

"If you dare refuse, I will make you regret ever coming into this world! The Dragon Group's energy is not something you can contend with!"
