Chapter 1614: Human Body Poison Refining

Human Body Poison Refining

Tianshu Domain.

Within a certain remote and hidden residence.

A bloodstained hand tremblingly placed a sharp scalpel on the iron tray on the table. Drops of scarlet blood dripped onto the floor...

Chu Muyun's chest heaved violently, his face pale as paper. He with difficulty used bandages to wrap the wound below his chest layer by layer. Blood seeped out from under the bandages, as if blooming into a blood-colored flower on his body.

Only after completing the final bandaging did Chu Muyun finally relax, his entire person paralyzed in the chair, bean-sized beads of sweat falling from his forehead like raindrops.

After resting for a full dozen minutes, his lips finally recovered a trace of blood color. He looked up at himself in the glass reflection, his blood-colored palms gently rubbing the bandages on his body, a trace of complexity revealed in his gaze.

The reflection in the glass swayed slightly...

A figure resembling a phantom was already standing behind him.

"You... are courting death."

Seeing Bai Ye's appearance, Chu Muyun froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly:

"How did you find your way here?"

"I am the current Pathway Chief of the Path of the Thief. Is it very difficult to find you?" Bai Ye snorted coldly.

Chu Muyun just looked at him quietly like this, seemingly waiting for his next words.

"Alright... I stole the memories of 8 of Hearts."

"Is it necessary?" Chu Muyun was somewhat helpless.

"Everyone knows clearly in their hearts what the situation is outside right now. All Doctors of the Path of the Physician are desperately trying to stop the Plague, yet you alone are missing... This is not your style." Bai Ye glanced at his chest wrapped in bandages.

"I knew you were secretly doing some shady things."

"Saying it like that... those who don't know might think I'm a bad guy." Chu Muyun shrugged. "Blood Slaughter is originally an outlier within the Path of the Physician. For an outlier to use some outlier methods, it's very reasonable, right?"

Bai Ye's eyes narrowed slightly:

"So your method is to turn yourself into a petri dish for viruses?"

Chu Muyun closed his eyes and didn't answer.

"Speak."

"...Using humans as dishes, planting Curses, refining poison with flesh and blood, breeding serums... This is an old tradition of our Chu family." Chu Muyun smiled self-deprecatingly. "I am merely inheriting my father's mantle."

"But your father was a beast!"

"No matter how beastly the method, as long as it can save people, why not use it?"

Bai Ye was left speechless for a moment, finally slowly spitting out four words:

"But you will die."

"You said it yourself, all Doctors of the Path of the Physician are currently thinking of ways to stop the Plague... Although my Blood Slaughter is an outlier, I am also of the Path of the Physician." Chu Muyun glanced at Bai Ye in the reflection and chuckled lightly.

"If I didn't have the resolve to sacrifice myself to save others, how could I have been favored by the Divine Pathways in the first place?"

Bai Ye froze.

He stared blankly at Chu Muyun in the glass reflection. Behind the lenses of the Silver-Rimmed Glasses were a pair of calm and firm eyes... He was Seven of Spades of the Dusk Society, but he was also a member of the numerous Doctors of the Path of the Physician.

"You Doctors of the Path of the Physician, are truly..." Bai Ye struggled for a long time, still unable to think of what vocabulary to use to describe them.

"You came just in time."

Chu Muyun directly interrupted him. "Right now, seven different viruses are fighting and blending within my body. Next, they will cannibalize my organs and flesh bit by bit... The further on, the weaker I will become."

"Before I get the final result, I need someone to protect me. Otherwise, any random Ordinary Person could take my life."

Bai Ye frowned at him. "Are you sure using this method... can really get a 'result'?"

Chu Muyun remained silent for a moment. "I'm not sure. Back when my father used this method to get a result at a critical period, I wasn't by his side... Moreover, this time I merged seven viruses in one breath. I'm also not sure if it can succeed in the end."

"Then you still..."

"People always need to have some hope, don't they?"

Bai Ye helplessly shook his head. Since matters had reached this point, he couldn't stop Chu Muyun either... In fact, Chu Muyun had already begun planting viruses into his body before entering the Ancient Vault of the Ghost Path. From the very beginning, he didn't leave himself a single trace of retreat.

"Alright." Bai Ye also didn't advise anymore.

"Then let me, this Thief, act as a bodyguard for you, this Doctor, for a period of time... Also, when needed, I can help you steal your 'pain'."

Chu Muyun, paralyzed in the chair, slightly raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"Thank you."

...

In a haze,

Chen Ling slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing a piece of white ceiling above his head, Chen Ling was briefly bewildered for a moment before he recalled his previous encounters bit by bit, letting out a long sigh of relief...

Very well, it seems he was still tough-lived and pulled through.

Back when he gave instructions to Wu Yi in the Gray World, Chen Ling seemed calm and composed, but in reality, he himself wasn't sure if he could survive taking such heavy injuries this time... He only knew it was too late to go anywhere else, and if Wu Yi charged into the Hidden Clouds Domain with such great fanfare, he would probably be directly encircled and exterminated by humans.

Therefore, Chen Ling could only have Wu Yi toss him into the Domain, and then use his final bit of strength to change his face. If he was lucky, he might still have a chance to receive treatment; if he was unlucky, he could only rely on his Blood Robe and recovery abilities to try and forcibly endure it...

But looking at it now, he seemed to be in a medical Clinic. Was he rescued by someone?

Chen Ling staggered and sat up, discovering that his originally incomplete body had already grown back mostly, only missing his two calves which hadn't regenerated yet. But at same time, a strong wave of dizziness surged into Chen Ling's heart.

Blood Robe could indeed achieve rebirth from a drop of blood, but the consumption of Spiritual Power wasn't small. For Chen Ling to regenerate so much flesh and blood from only half a head and half a chest, he had already consumed a massive amount of Spiritual Power... Coupled with the continuous massive battles previously, Chen Ling was already somewhat overdrawn.

But even so, as Chen Ling slowly rested and slowly regenerated, growing out his two calves would only be a matter of a few hours.

Bursts of gentle breeze drilled in from the window gap to the side, blowing the Clinic's curtains to flutter silently, and also bringing the faint sound of conversation from another room... Chen Ling looked around, directly grabbing a wheelchair beside the bed and nimbly sitting on it.

Who would have thought that the dignified world-destroying Calamity of Mockery, Red King, My Lord of the Dusk Society, would actually have a day where he was beaten to the point of sitting in a wheelchair...

Fortunately, he changed his face before entering the Hidden Clouds Domain, otherwise if this matter spread out, the Dusk Society's "illustrious fierce reputation" would be directly weakened by a large chunk.

As Chen Ling pushed the wheelchair, passing through layers of door curtains, the conversation from afar gradually became clear.

...

...

Chen Ling, the great King of Annihilation, the respected Red King, My Lord of the Dusk Society... I have writer's block, can you sit in the wheelchair for one more day? (Hands pressed together) (Humble face)
