Chapter 636: Even a Film Emperor Isn’t This Impressive

All of them were experts, top-notch at that, their extensive experience goes without saying. With just a glance at the data on the monitors and the patient on the operating table, they immediately realized that this patient’s condition was extremely bad, even worse than the one they had just been resuscitating.

From their professional perspective, this patient seemed to have no chance of being saved.

After so many years in medicine, they knew well the principle of not being able to save every life, and having seen life and death, they didn’t feel too much about these matters. However, from Xiao Yi’s demeanor just now, this patient obviously had a deep connection with him, possibly no less significant than Chen Jianguo previously. They worried that if any misfortune befell this patient, they didn’t know whether this young and skilled doctor could bear it.

"Doctor Niu... what’s going on here?"

It was one of the doctors who first snapped back to reality, looking at Doctor Niu with a hint of Zheng Xun in his eyes.

"You all should step aside for now, there’s nothing here for you anymore. You may leave if you wish or stay to observe, but don’t make any noise," Doctor Niu said, glancing indifferently at the doctors.

"Alright."

The doctors thought that it meant Doctor Niu and his colleagues were about to take over the resuscitation efforts. Although they held positions of status in the hospital, they would not dare to overstep in front of these medical experts and had no objections to them taking over. They also wanted to see if these experts could create a miracle and save the patient who seemed beyond help.

But as they turned away from the operating table and walked to an open space nearby, they realized that neither Doctor Niu nor the other two doctors had taken their places by the operating table. Instead, the young man in front of them, whose identity had puzzled them, suddenly walked towards the operating table.

As they watched Xiao Yi move toward the operating table, they showed a hint of surprise in their eyes and subconsciously wanted to speak up to stop him, but as they opened their mouths, they found that Doctor Niu and the others watched the young man walk over without any intention of stopping him. They all forgot to speak, their mouths agape and eyes filled with shock as they watched Xiao Yi.

It was another case of internal injury!

Such heavy-handedness, such ruthlessness!

Grabbing Wang Dawei’s wrist, Xiao Yi listened quietly to his pulse and sensed the injuries within his body, his expression revealing a touch of anger.

Wang Dawei’s condition was more severe than he had anticipated. If Chen Jianguo’s life was hanging by a thread when he burst in before, then at this moment, Liu Yuan’s situation was as if that last thread had already snapped in half!

His vitality was extremely faint, nearly cutting off all signs of life. His internal meridians were severely damaged, his heart compressed with brute force and injured, severe bleeding, and his brain had also suffered a heavy blow...

It was truly too cruel!

After silently assessing Wang Dawei’s condition, rage in Xiao Yi’s heart reached its peak, and he almost felt the impulse to lash out violently then and there.

But he quickly suppressed all his negative emotions forcibly, reason telling him that at this moment, the most important thing was to exhaust all means to save Wang Dawei. Everything else was a matter for later.

"Doctor Niu, could you do me a favor?"

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, subdued the murderous intent in his heart, looked at Wang Dawei in front of him, contemplated for a while in his mind, and finally, clenched his teeth with a resolute expression in his eyes, he turned his head and cast a pleading look at Doctor Niu.

"No problem at all! It’s an honor to be your assistant, Doctor Xiao. Whatever you need, just command me!" Doctor Niu said, a flash of joy in his eyes as he stepped forward, his voice firm.

Hearing Doctor Niu’s words, the doctors who had originally been in the room nearly dropped their jaws to the floor, their eyes wide with disbelief, wondering if they had heard wrong.

This young man in front of them, he’s a doctor?

And Doctor Niu is going to assist him?

From the sound of it, Doctor Niu seemed quite pleased to be his assistant?

Xiao Yi nodded, not saying much, as now was not the time for pleasantries. When Doctor Niu approached, Xiao Yi began to give orders directly.

He needed Doctor Niu to do something quite straightforward: help him clear the blood clots in the chest cavity and quickly stop the bleeding. His medical skill, although exceptional, was limited by the simple fact that he had only two hands. In a moment, he would concentrate on applying needles to repair his heart and to address the blood clots pressuring the nerves in his brain. This process was going to be immensely grueling, and he had neither the spare energy nor the extra hands to perform those tasks.

"Doctor Niu, are you confident?"

After he had finished instructing on the necessary precautions, Xiao Yi looked at Doctor Niu with a grave expression on his face.

"Please rest assured, Doctor Xiao. Although I may not possess your transcendent skills, I’ve nonetheless spent over a decade standing at the operating table. Such a minor task—if I cannot handle this, I might as well resign and go home!"

A hint of pride colored Doctor Niu’s face as he earnestly spoke to Xiao Yi.

"Good, then I’ll leave it to Doctor Niu."

Hearing the confidence in Doctor Niu’s voice, Xiao Yi felt a little reassured and nodded his head.

"This is a minor matter, Doctor Xiao, so there’s no need for such talk. However, I’m curious to know how you plan to..."

Doctor Niu gestured with his hands, his face showing a trace of perplexity as he looked at Xiao Yi. He was aware of Xiao Yi’s intent, yet he remained deeply curious about how Xiao Yi planned to clear those terrifying blood clots from the patient’s brain and deal with the lethal injuries in the chest cavity.

The other doctors also looked on with curiosity, particularly the two who had accompanied Doctor Niu into the room. Their eyes were filled with eager anticipation as they turned their gaze to Xiao Yi. The question Doctor Niu had posed was precisely what they were all eager and curious to know.

Regrettably, Xiao Yi didn’t seem inclined to provide an answer.

Or rather, Xiao Yi intended to answer their question with his actions rather than words.

In Xiao Yi’s hands, as if by magic, several silver needles of different sizes appeared once again. These needles were familiar to Doctor Niu and the other two doctors—they recognized them as the same needles that had saved Chen Jianguo earlier.

Seeing these needles in Xiao Yi’s hands ignited a fervor in their eyes. They knew that Xiao Yi was about to perform that miraculous Needle Technique again. They were about to witness something extraordinary; their previous doubts were momentarily forgotten.

This was it!

Xiao Yi drew in a deep breath once more, determination shining in his eyes.

As they surmised, Xiao Yi indeed planned to use the Seven Needles. Given Wang Dawei’s current condition, there seemed to be no other option. But Xiao Yi had just performed the Seven Needles on Chen Jianguo, and the thought of repeating the procedure filled him with trepidation and nervousness: he had never applied the Seven Needles consecutively before.

While his Cultivation Power had been advancing rapidly during this period, his confidence in performing the Seven Needles again was not strong. The Needle Technique was exceedingly demanding, depleting an unimaginable amount of True Force, even for the most accomplished practitioners. He had not been completely drained of strength after the first application, yet it had exhausted at least seventy percent of his True Force.

No matter what, it must succeed!

Xiao Yi bit down on his teeth inwardly, tensing his hand slightly. He glanced at Doctor Niu beside him and called out firmly, "Doctor Niu, be ready. We’re starting now. It’ll soon be your turn to step in!"

Without waiting for Doctor Niu’s response, Xiao Yi’s hands, holding the silver needles, plunged decisively towards several acupoints on Wang Dawei’s body that he had already pinpointed.

Observing Xiao Yi’s movements, Doctor Niu stiffened, no longer daring to let his mind wander. He focused intently on the operating table, his hands skillfully gripping the scalpel, ready to work in tandem with Xiao Yi at the right moment.

As seconds and minutes passed, the watching doctors saw the non-stop bustle of their hands on the operating table, the needles moving deftly in an incredible and mystifying manner. Doctor Niu, at Xiao Yi’s side, worked rapidly and proficiently with his scalpel, focusing on the various life-saving procedures that Xiao Yi had previously instructed, their hearts hanging in suspended anticipation.

Everyone was holding their breath, silent and attentive.

What was this young man doing?

The doctors, who had been present in the operating room earlier, were utterly baffled. They could only watch as Xiao Yi’s hands fluttered in a complex and dazzling dance, inserting and manipulating the needles, yet were unable to discern the purpose behind such baffling maneuvers. It seemed a bit like traditional Chinese acupuncture, but not quite; acupuncture was never like this. Moreover, Xiao Yi appeared to be exerting himself heavily, sweat beading on his brow, his complexion growing paler by the moment...

Was it really so tiring just to insert a few needles, despite his quick hands? And if it was all just an act, then the performance was too convincing. Those expressions came from deep exhaustion, revealing more fatigue than if he had truly been tired. Surely, even an Oscar-winning actor couldn’t pull off something so authentic and powerful?
