All Master of 100 Floors Episode 222

49th Floor. Murim. Secret Manual (7)

“…Ugh!”

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader, belatedly coming to his senses, defends. He spreads his strong ki widely and wraps it around his body.

Protective strong ki.

Kwaaaaang!

But the impact is felt beyond the strong ki. His body cannot withstand it and flies away, crashing into the cliff.

Jjeoeoeoeoek!

A deep line is carved into the cliff. Unable to withstand the impact, part of the cliff collapses. The debris of the cliff falls with a tremendous noise, and people in the distant village mistake it for an earthquake.

The power to collapse the cliff itself.

Among the skills he possessed, there was no skill with such power. It would not be an exaggeration to call it the strongest technique.

‘This is the fifth sword form.’

Heaven and Earth Sword Qi Open .

Containing the sword qi of heaven and earth, it draws a line across the world.

Kang Jun-hyeok lightly trembled at that power.

But even so, the opponent did not fall.

Kugugugugung.

The fragments of the collapsed cliff shake as the Bloody Demon Sect Leader reveals himself. Kang Jun-hyeok narrows his eyes.

‘…There seems to be some loss of internal energy.’

There were no major wounds on his body. It meant there was no problem continuing the battle.

Kang Jun-hyeok prepared for the opponent to charge at him in anger.

But the Bloody Demon Sect Leader did not do so.

Unlike before, he opened his mouth with a rigidly hardened face.

“I acknowledge it. Your martial arts are… truly marvelous.”

His voice contained undeniable admiration.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader was a martial artist who had reached the realm of enlightenment.

He was in a state where he had somewhat approached the concept of what martial arts truly were.

As such, he could not help but feel the mystery possessed by Manbyeonggi’s martial arts. At first, he had underestimated it and failed to recognize its essence, but not anymore.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader asked politely with proper courtesy.

“What are your name and the name of your martial arts?”

“My name is Kang Jun-hyeok. I don’t know the name of the martial arts either.”

“I see. I pay my respects to you who have been taught the nameless secret arts.”

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader spoke calmly and raised his finger. The strong ki on his finger became even denser. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader no longer underestimated him.

He was simply trying to kill him with sincerity and full power.

The opponent was a strong warrior of the third level. He was of equal rank. If they fought seriously, he could lose.

“Whoo.”

Then, wouldn’t it be fine if he just won?

He gathers internal energy. He holds his sword. He takes his stance. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader steps forward.

In an instant, the distance closed. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader’s movements were not in the direction of showing off power like before. Everything was sharp, deep, and threatening as he tried to kill him.

Kagagagagak!

Kang Jun-hyeok blocks and deflects the fingers with his sword. Through Martial Extreme Heaven and Earth Suppression Divine Domain, he became able to erase some of the applied force, but the limits were clear. He could do nothing about force of such concentration and density.

The fingers track Kang Jun-hyeok like snakes sliding along his sword.

The moment those fingers touch him, his body made of flesh would be torn apart like cotton candy.

Blood Claw Death Form.

Kagagagak!

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body is instantly pushed back as he dodges and blocks that attack.

Manbyeonggi’s first profound principle. Using Reverse Momentum Strengthening and Absorb Attack Break Momentum to amplify power, but the opponent’s strength was far too strong. His defense would break before he could absorb enough.

Then.

Kang Jun-hyeok steadies his breathing. He gathers and explodes the absorbed power as it is.

Kagagagagak!

Second sword form. Cold World Wind Forest.

A storm that tears the world arises.

But the Bloody Demon Sect Leader does not retreat. He puts even more strong ki into his fingers and swings them roughly. The storm is torn apart.

Swaeaeaeak!

Barely avoiding the thrust finger, he raises his sword high and strikes down. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader’s instinct, which had initially tried to block, warns him. He twists his body to avoid it.

Jjeoeoeoeoeng!

The striking sword crushes and destroys the ground.

Gathering one’s own power into one.

Manbyeonggi’s second profound principle. Self-Power Unity.

If he had tried to defend, the Bloody Demon Sect Leader’s fingers would have been severely wounded.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader, having avoided it, steps on the struck sword and thrusts his finger at Kang Jun-hyeok’s chest. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly retreated, but part of the finger grazed his body.

That alone consumed 600 health points.

“There was definitely a hit, but no damage. It doesn’t seem like internal energy… is it sorcery you possess?”

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader calmly assessed and raised his finger.

“There’s no point in aiming for vital points.”

He’ll just crush everything. The strong ki contained in his finger expands. Like a beast’s molars, it rushes toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

Blood Claw Fang.

Massive strong ki in the form of molars target Kang Jun-hyeok.

Power that would smash him along with his defense if they collided head-on.

So, he deflects it.

Kagagagagak!

The sword moves softly and deflects the strong ki.

Even the mighty power that tears the world cannot touch a free dandelion leaf.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader could not help but admire the profound principle of flexibility overcoming strength taken to its extreme.

“Magnificent! Truly magnificent!”

Overwhelming with force has little meaning. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader again changed his strong ki into a snake-like form and aimed at Kang Jun-hyeok. And Kang Jun-hyeok had been waiting for that moment.

First sword form. Raging Wind Heaven Slash.

He explodes the power gathered while deflecting. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader defends belatedly.

Jjeoeng!

“Kueuk!”

A strong impact shakes his entire body. Enduring the impact, he flicks his finger.

Invisible Finger Wind.

Invisible finger winds are shot consecutively toward Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok roughly twists his body. He waves his arms and bends his legs. Showing mysterious movements, he perfectly avoids the finger winds.

Even if they were invisible finger winds, the power contained within them did not go anywhere. They could not escape the detection of Martial Extreme Heaven and Earth Suppression Divine Domain.

He steps forward and thrusts his sword. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader swings his finger to block it.

“Aaaaah!”

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader burst into exclamation.

What kind of martial arts is this?

What kind of profound principle is this?

He is now seeing the ultimate principle of martial arts.

He is captivated by a light incomparable to anything else.

More, more, more!

Show me more of the ultimate principle!

He explodes power with emotion. Fingers and sword clash repeatedly, and the aftermath shakes all directions.

Kang Jun-hyeok had the advantage that the level of his martial arts itself was overwhelmingly different.

But as a martial artist, the Bloody Demon Sect Leader was clearly superior in skill.

If the battle continued, the Bloody Demon Sect Leader would be able to seize the advantage.

However, there was one problem. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader frowned.

‘…My internal energy.’

His internal energy was depleting.

Despite consuming all kinds of elixirs since childhood and even undergoing complete transformation, he could barely handle the consumption of internal energy.

The reason he could pressure to this extent was because he was pouring out his full power without caring about internal energy.

In contrast, Kang Jun-hyeok still had internal energy to spare.

While Kang Jun-hyeok’s internal energy itself was less than the Bloody Demon Sect Leader’s, he had Manbyeonggi’s principles.

[Small Stream Great River Circulation.]

A small flow circulates as a ring of a great river.

That third principle extremely reduced the consumption of internal energy.

He needed to settle this. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader, having made his decision, brought his hands together. An ominous power began to gather within them. Kang Jun-hyeok also quickly gathered internal energy in his sword.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader brought his hands together and thrust them forward roughly.

Blood Claw Imperial Strike.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader’s secret technique unfolds. Massive energy tries to crush Kang Jun-hyeok.

Kang Jun-hyeok also unleashed the power gathered in his sword.

Heaven and Earth Sword Qi Open.

Kaaaaaaang!

Mighty power clashes with mighty power. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader bares his teeth and draws his internal energy to its limit. He puts strength into his fingers while consuming even part of his true energy.

The result.

Kaaaang!

The sword qi shatters.

Ecstasy fills the Bloody Demon Sect Leader’s face.

‘I broke that great martial ultimate with my own hands!’

Indescribable satisfaction dominated his entire body. It was the moment he was certain of victory.

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader saw it.

Sword qi gathering once more on Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword.

Raging Wind Heaven Slash Heaven and Earth Sword Qi Open.

The power of the first Heaven and Earth Sword Qi is contained in the second Heaven and Earth Sword Qi.

Blood Claw Imperial Strike instantly shatters. The sword qi strikes the Bloody Demon Sect Leader. He closes his eyes with a satisfied face.

Kuuuuung!

The world splits apart.

The entire area’s forest is cut into pieces. Kang Jun-hyeok releases the breath he had been holding.

“Hueok!”

His hands and feet tremble violently. His dantian is completely empty. His drained body tries to collapse.

He grits his teeth and puts strength into his legs to endure. Kang Jun-hyeok slowly moves his steps and approaches the fallen Bloody Demon Sect Leader.

He was in a miserable state.

His upper and lower body were separated. He still had consciousness remaining, but it wouldn’t last long.

“Your victory.”

“It was quite close.”

If the Bloody Demon Sect Leader hadn’t been careless from the beginning.

If the Bloody Demon Sect Leader had been just a little more composed.

He really didn’t know how it would have turned out. But the Bloody Demon Sect Leader shook his head.

“You didn’t even use all the power you possess. You faced me with martial arts alone. It’s my complete defeat. I acknowledge it and express my gratitude.”

Despite being defeated, the Bloody Demon Sect Leader had an extremely satisfied expression.

“Is that martial arts? Is that the end of this path? Is that the destination?”

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader was a genius who reached the realm of transcendence at a young age. Having innate talent, he could perceive even fragments of Manbyeonggi’s martial arts.

“Truly beautiful. To think I would see such a path in my life. How utterly satisfying.”

“Then may I ask one favor?”

“By all means.”

“I’d like to obtain the secret manual of martial arts you possess.”

“…Secret manual?”

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader made an expression of incomprehension.

“The martial arts you possess are incomparable to my martial arts. Like a firefly before the sun. There would be no reason to desire my martial arts.”

“Unfortunately, that’s not the case.”

To complete Manbyeonggi’s martial arts, many martial arts were needed. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader didn’t question further.

“Go east from here. Halfway up the Blue Mountain Range. My martial arts exist beneath a withered tree. Passing through the formation won’t be easy, but… for you, there should be no problem.”

The Bloody Demon Sect Leader’s face gradually grew pale. Manbyeonggi, who had been watching that sight for a moment, opened his mouth.

[Kang Jun-hyeok. May I borrow your mouth for a moment?]

“Why suddenly?”

[This child wasn’t bad. To reach this far at such a young age is quite admirable. I wanted to say a word to him.]

“I don’t mind.”

Kang Jun-hyeok shrugged his shoulders. The Bloody Demon Sect Leader looked at Kang Jun-hyeok talking to himself with puzzlement. Kang Jun-hyeok’s mouth opened.

“Child. You weren’t too bad. You’re good enough to call yourself a martial artist anywhere. I acknowledge you.”

Words looking down from above to below, extremely insulting words.

But the Bloody Demon Sect Leader’s eyes widened. His pupils trembled as if realizing something. Soon he smiled.

“It is… an honor… nameless existence…”

With those words, the Bloody Demon Sect Leader dropped his head.

[Level Up.]

[Stamina + 20]

[Strength + 4]

[Speed + 4]

[Internal Energy + 6]

[Control proficiency has greatly increased.]

[Manbyeonggi’s Principles proficiency has greatly increased.]

[Observation proficiency has greatly increased.]
