Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Tang Ming is Going to Die

"Old Master had already done his best." An old Master said helplessly, shaking his head regretfully:

"A rising star of traditional Chinese medicine has fallen so quickly; is Chinese medicine truly doomed to decline?"

"Divine Doctor An, I know your great reputation; you are a renowned Divine Doctor. Is there really no way to save him?"

Liu Gaoze begged as he looked at Old Master An, saying, "I, Liu Gaoze, am willing to pay any price as long as his life can be saved."

"I’m truly sorry..."

Old Master An shook his head; he greatly valued Tang Ming’s medical skills. If he could, he would do everything in his power to save this man, but now he truly was out of options.

"Impossible, Brother Tang Ming absolutely won’t die."

Li Xiaoli abandoned her usual coy demeanor, letting tears streak down her face as she shouted firmly, "He is Tang Ming; how can he die just like that?"

"That’s right, he’s just asleep!" Liu Mengting also continuously shook her head, shaking Tang Ming’s body:

"Wake up, don’t sleep, you still have to protect me!"

"You can’t even cure a patient; what kind of Divine Doctor are you? You’re nothing but an incompetent doctor!"

Li Xiaoli suddenly turned to Old Master An, angrily rebuking him.

"Old Master, Old Master feels unworthy of the name Divine Doctor."

Although Old Master An felt somewhat indignant, thinking about how he truly couldn’t save Tang Ming, he could only force a bitter smile.

"What are you doing? This is the emergency room of the hospital, not a place for you to make a commotion."

Seeing Li Xiaoli’s disrespect towards Old Master An, An Sheng sternly scolded them, then walked over to Old Master An and said:

"My grandfather, at his age, has been busy all night for this young man. Not only are you ungrateful, but now you also bite the hand that feeds, truly unbecoming."

"Xiaoli, don’t be disrespectful."

Liu Gaoze knew Li Xiaoli was worried about Tang Ming, but it was indeed impolite to rebuke a Divine Doctor in such a manner.

"Divine Doctor, Xiaoli doesn’t know better, please don’t take it to heart. Please, could you save Tang Ming?"

Liu Mengting wiped away her tears, begging as she looked at Divine Doctor An.

"Sorry, I really am powerless now." Old Master An sighed.

"If my grandfather says he can’t save him, then he definitely can’t. Stop causing a fuss and hurry to move the patient to the ward, and make arrangements for his final affairs."

An Sheng urged impatiently.

"I’m not dead yet, no need to arrange for my final affairs."

Just at that moment, Tang Ming weakly woke up and spoke.

"Tang Ming!"

The two women exclaimed, rushing to the bedside:

"I knew you would be alright; you’re awake, it’s really wonderful."

"Humph!"

An Sheng pursed his lips, knowing that Tang Ming only had a breath left and would soon be done for.

Old Master An shook his head helplessly; after his treatment, Tang Ming would have a momentary rally before death.

"I won’t have any problems, you two go out first; I have something to do with Old Master An."

Knowing his condition was very bad, Tang Ming didn’t have time for much more small talk with the two women and instructed them.

"No, I want to stay here with you."

Liu Mengting shook her head vigorously.

"You’re so weak now, and Meng Meng sister and I are your hands and feet; we’ll take care of you until you recover."

Li Xiaoli also nodded repeatedly.

"I, I need to heal now, having you here will only hold me back."

Tang Ming struggled to look at Liu Gaoze and said, "Uncle Liu, you should take the two young ladies back to rest first. Once my injuries get a bit better, I will return."

"But you now..."

Liu Gaoze hesitated, wanting to say that you are already dying, how can there be an afterward?

"Don’t worry, I have a plan."

After Tang Ming finished talking, he grinned, revealing a heartbreaking smile.

"Meng Ting, Xiao Li, since Tang Ming has said so, you two shouldn’t add chaos here, just go out with me first!"

Although he didn’t know what Tang Ming planned to do, Liu Gaoze still chose to trust him.

Liu Gaoze and An Sheng left the emergency room with the reluctant girls.

"Old Master An, thank you for your hard work!"

After everyone left, Tang Ming looked at Old Master An and said, "Thank you for helping me heal."

"It’s my unworthy effort, with my level of Life Inquiry Needle Technique, I can only keep you awake, but I can’t heal your injuries. You might have two hours left,"

Old Master An looked at Tang Ming with shame and said helplessly.

"I know you have done your best, but..." Tang Ming smiled and squinted his eyes as he spoke:

"But your medical skill, though slightly inferior to mine, doesn’t necessarily mean I will die."

"Young friend, what do you mean by that?"

Old Master An was slightly stunned and asked with confusion.

Although Tang Ming’s words were not polite, Old Master An had seen his capabilities and was wholeheartedly convinced of Tang Ming’s medical skills, so he was not angry.

"Life Inquiry Needle Technique is indeed a good acupuncture technique, but it ultimately isn’t the peak of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I will now direct you to use Tianxuan Nine Needles to heal me."

Tang Ming didn’t waste words and directly voiced his idea: "I’ll dictate the acupoints, you perform the needling."

"This..."

Old Master An was slightly stunned, then a gleam of light flickered in his eyes:

"That seems like a feasible idea."

"We can only do this now. You, as a Divine Doctor, have no issues with needling technique and energy manipulation; as long as you needle the acupoints I tell you, it should work."

Tang Ming was not entirely sure, as a previous energy explosion had depleted the energy inside his body to the extent that he now couldn’t manipulate energy and had to rely on others to heal himself. As for the outcome, it was difficult to predict.

"Since you trust me so much, then I will give it a try,"

Old Master An didn’t delay and directly took out his needle kit to get started.

"Come on, needle the TanZhong acupoint with ninety percent force, Silver Needle halfway through."

Tang Ming immediately voiced out the first needling location.

"Hiss hiss." Hearing this, Old Master An gasped and exclaimed:

"That TanZhong acupoint is a lethal acupoint. One needle, and your life could be over; you’re not asking me to directly help you end this, are you?"

"I haven’t had enough of life yet." Tang Ming laughed and explained:

"As long as the True Qi is properly utilized and the force is perfectly controlled, even a lethal acupoint can save a life. I am entrusting my life to you now."

"Are you sure you’re not trying to commit suicide?"

Old Master An still looked at Tang Ming somewhat uncertainly.

"The mystery of Tianxuan Nine Needles lies in its ability to break the conventional, to destroy and then establish. Just go ahead!"

Tang Ming responded firmly.

"If that’s so, then, then I will begin!"

Seeing Tang Ming’s insistence, Old Master An didn’t hesitate to lift his hand quickly and started needling according to Tang Ming’s instructions.

In the following time, Tang Ming dictated the acupoints and the required force and depth, and Old Master An carefully executed everything as described.
