Guyang Cheongang lightly patted Baek Muok’s shoulder.

 

“Get on my back.”

 

As the boy climbed onto his back, Guyang Cheongang’s eyes turned coldly sharp.

 

“Don’t be surprised no matter what happens.”

 

“I understand.”

 

The moment Baek Muok’s answer fell, Guyang Cheongang’s foot kicked off the ground.

 

Whoooosh-!

 

As the Phantom Shadowless Divine Method unfolded, his body cut through the night wind and soared into midair.

 

A distance of over a hundred zhang shrank in an instant, and the wooden palisade two zhang high swept past beneath his feet.

 

The bandits who were sprawled out dead drunk didn’t notice their intrusion at all.

 

Even if they had been sober, it would have been the same.

 

With their martial arts, detecting Guyang Cheongang using the Phantom Shadowless Divine Method was impossible in itself.

 

Guyang Cheongang rushed toward the central building without stopping.

 

That place was guarded like an iron fortress by over ten bandits.

 

They were qualitatively completely different from the ones rolling around drunk in the courtyard.

 

Without touching a drop of alcohol, they were watching all directions with sharp eyes, and the aura emanating from the weapons in their hands was also extraordinary.

 

At a glance, one could tell they were the elite of Nine Mountain Stronghold.

 

‘I can’t waste time dealing with those bastards.’

 

The image Akasha had transmitted appeared again before Guyang Cheongang’s eyes.

 

The desperate situation of the man being ganged up on was continuously worsening.

 

It was a situation where every second counted.

 

‘Akasha.’

 

[Yes, Doctor.]

 

‘Take care of them.’

 

[Understood.]

 

A subtle vibration began to occur in midair above Guyang Cheongang’s head.

 

Nano particles in the air were being reconstructed under Akasha’s precise control, taking shape.

 

Baek Muok’s eyes widened.

 

Ten daggers had suddenly appeared in the empty midair.

 

The three-inch long, pitch-black objects floated in the air as if alive, waiting for their master’s command.

 

They were Flying Star Cloud Swords, hidden weapons born from the combination of Akasha’s matter reconstruction ability and Guyang Cheongang’s internal energy.

 

Guyang Cheongang’s eyes were dyed with cold killing intent.

 

He had come with no intention of leaving the bandits of Nine Mountain Stronghold alive anyway.

 

As if responding to his will, the Flying Star Cloud Swords vibrated in unison and turned toward their respective targets.

 

Swish swish swish swoosh-!

 

With a slight air-splitting sound, ten Flying Star Cloud Swords cut through midair.

 

The bandits who had been standing guard in the darkness had small holes pierced in their foreheads without even knowing what was happening.

 

“Kugh….”

 

“Uh…?”

 

With short groans, they all collapsed simultaneously.

 

A single stream of blood flowing down their foreheads glinted dark red under the moonlight.

 

It was a perfect killing blow.

 

The Flying Star Cloud Swords scattered and disappeared in midair after penetrating their targets.

 

They vanished in a clean state without a single drop of blood on them.

 

The entire process was finished in less than a single breath.

 

The Flying Star Cloud Sword was a weapon worthy of being called a divine artifact of the heavenly realm. But nothing perfect existed in this world.

 

This ultimate hidden weapon had a fatal weakness hidden within it.

 

Each use consumed an enormous amount of internal energy equivalent to twenty years of cultivation in an instant.

 

Even Guyang Cheongang, who possessed sixty years of internal energy, could not use the Flying Star Cloud Sword more than six times consecutively at present.

 

The price of power was always harsh.

 

With the obstacles removed, Guyang Cheongang launched his body movement toward the building without hesitation.

 

Bang!

 

With a thunderous roar, the thick door was completely shattered.

 

Wood fragments flew in all directions and scattered across the floor.

 

The interior was a spacious area over five zhang in all directions, befitting a place used by a leader.

 

Guyang Cheongang’s gaze fixed on one spot.

 

Two men and one woman who had been attacking a man cornered in the corner turned their heads with shocked expressions.

 

They were flustered by the sudden appearance of an intruder.

 

In one corner of the room, two corpses were already sprawled out.

 

From the bloodstains, they seemed to have died recently, and from the wounds on their bodies, it was clear they had been killed by the attackers.

 

They were likely Jang Han’s subordinates who had been under attack.

 

Guyang Cheongang spoke to Baek Muok.

 

“Hold on tight.”

 

Baek Muok tightened his arms and legs wrapped around Guyang Cheongang’s neck and waist.

 

Seeing this, bewilderment appeared on the faces of the two men and one woman.

 

An intruder who had burst in while carrying a child on his back.

 

It would be hard to find a sight more unsuited to this situation.

 

Regardless, Guyang Cheongang closed the distance with his enemies like lightning without stopping for even a moment.

 

Swoosh-

 

The moment the Phantom Shadowless Divine Method unfolded, his body moved at a speed impossible to follow with the naked eye.

 

Among the attacking two men and one woman, a fierce-looking middle-aged man in his forties reflexively raised his giant saber to a middle stance and blocked Guyang Cheongang’s path.

 

Killing intent flashed in his eyes.

 

“What bastard dares…!”

 

Before the middle-aged man’s shout could even finish.

 

Bang!

 

A dull impact sound echoed.

 

When the distance between him and Guyang Cheongang narrowed to two zhang, the middle-aged man’s neck snapped instantly and he flew powerlessly into the wall.

 

The giant saber fell from his hand and rolled across the floor.

 

The eyes of the remaining man and woman who had been fighting together widened as if they would tear.

 

They had not seen what kind of attack Guyang Cheongang had made at all.

 

No matter how fast a technique was, there should have been at least an afterimage, but there was nothing.

 

Not even the sound of cutting through air could be heard.

 

This was the true power of the Gale Flash Technique that Guyang Cheongang had perfected.

 

His gaze swept over the remaining enemies.

 

“Who wants to die first?”

 

His voice contained a ruthlessness devoid of any emotion.

 

The remaining man and woman looked at each other’s faces and gritted their teeth.

 

They instinctively realized that Guyang Cheongang was a peerless master they could not face.

 

But they had no choice.

 

It was a situation where they could neither flee nor surrender.

 

“Die!”

 

The woman moved first.

 

A hidden dagger flew from her hand like lightning, while the man aimed at Guyang Cheongang’s side with his sword.

 

Sword energy surged and sword light pierced the heavens.

 

They were peak masters.

 

But their desperate attacks only cut through empty air.

 

Guyang Cheongang was already passing between them.

 

Thud thud!

 

Two brief impact sounds rang out in succession.

 

The man and woman simultaneously clutched their chests and staggered backward.

 

The woman with a large hole pierced through her heart area died instantly without even being able to scream, while the man’s both arms were grotesquely broken.

 

“Urgh…”

 

With a groan, the man whose Demon Blood Points and pressure points had been suppressed collapsed to the floor.

 

The battle ended in an instant.

 

Only then did Guyang Cheongang set Baek Muok down on the floor.

 

Until that moment, the boy had not let out a single surprised gasp.

 

It was an eerily calm reaction for a thirteen-year-old boy.

 

What had just occurred was a tragedy where ten people met their deaths simultaneously.

 

An ordinary child would have fallen into shock and screamed. But Baek Muok was different.

 

He had been carefully observing Guyang Cheongang’s killing techniques as if watching an interesting spectacle.

 

In those empty eyes, there was no fear, no compassion, not even curiosity.

 

Guyang Cheongang clicked his tongue inwardly and muttered.

 

‘If one is born with the Heaven Killing Star, is this kind of reaction natural?’

 

[Analysis results show the boy appears to have a constitution with congenital emotional deficiency.]

 

Akasha’s calm voice was heard.

 

[Unlike ordinary people, his ability to empathize with others’ pain or death is remarkably lacking. It is judged that he has almost no aversion to slaughter as well.]

 

Guyang Cheongang became certain of Baek Muok’s identity.

 

This boy had been familiar with death since birth. That’s why he was now accepting this scene of slaughter so nonchalantly.

 

‘So he’s a psychopath?’

 

[Yes.]

 

Then the man who had been under attack gave a deep cupped fist salute and spoke.

 

“Thank you. If not for you, brother, I would have met a dog’s death here.”

 

It was a resonant yet dignified voice.

 

Guyang Cheongang examined him carefully.

 

He appeared to be around thirty with large, bold features and a magnanimous impression.

 

His eyes were unusually deep, and the dignity emanating from his entire body was also extraordinary.

 

However, his clothing was surprisingly ordinary.

 

“Fortunately, we didn’t miss the timing. But how did you come to be in this place?”

 

At Guyang Cheongang’s question, the man gave another respectful cupped fist salute.

 

“I am Yu Jongui of the Green Forest Alliance.”

 

“Green Forest Alliance…”

 

Guyang Cheongang’s eyes changed subtly.

 

The Green Forest Alliance was a massive confederation of bandits throughout All Under Heaven.

 

On the surface it belonged to the Evil Path Martial World, but in reality it was a massive sect on a different level from simple bandit groups.

 

Guyang Cheongang returned the cupped fist salute and spoke.

 

“I am Jang Woomyeong.”

 

Wearing his human skin mask, he appeared to be the same age as Yu Jongui.

 

“So it was Brother Jang.”

 

There wasn’t time to continue interrogating each other’s backgrounds.

 

After exchanging names with Yu Jongui, Guyang Cheongang approached the man he had kept alive until the end.

 

That man was in a completely incapacitated state with both arms broken and his demon blood points and pressure points struck.

 

Yu Jongui looked at that man again and let out a deep sigh.

 

“This is truly hard to believe.”

 

When Guyang Cheongang turned his head, Yu Jongui continued speaking.

 

“That man’s face is exactly the same as mine. I got chills from the moment I first encountered him, but since my life was in danger, I didn’t have the leisure to think about it properly.”

 

His voice still clearly showed that he found it unbelievable.

 

Guyang Cheongang’s eyes grew cold.

 

After examining the incapacitated man, he let out a quiet sigh.

 

The man was conscious, but his eyes were completely dead.

 

He instinctively realized that extracting a confession from such a person would be nearly impossible.

 

There was no need to make the effort anyway.

 

Though he was curious about the inside story, this wasn’t his business but Yu Jongui’s business.

 

Guyang Cheongang gestured toward the man with his eyes and spoke to Yu Jongui.

 

“I’ve kept this one alive, so Brother Yu can handle it as you see fit.”

 

“That… that’s what I should do.”

 

Yu Jongui muttered, still unable to escape from his shock.

 

Accepting the fact that someone with his face had tried to kill him, and that this place was inside a Green Forest Alliance mountain stronghold, was not an easy thing to do.

 

Yu Jongui, who had somewhat calmed down, asked.

 

“By the way, what business brings you to this mountain stronghold, Brother Jang?”

 

“I came to collect a debt.”

 

“What? A debt? What do you mean by that?”

 

Guyang Cheongang lightly placed his hand on Baek Muok’s shoulder as he answered.

 

“The bandits here massacred this boy’s family and the people of his village. I came to collect that debt.”

 

Yu Jongui’s expression hardened slightly at the faint killing intent in his voice. But soon he nodded.

 

“Though they may be fellow members of the Green Forest Alliance like myself, the stronghold leader’s subordinates who pointed their blades at me have no shame in begging for mercy from Brother Jang’s fingertips.”

 

Guyang Cheongang said to Baek Muok.

 

“Let’s go out.”

 

“Yes.”

 

The two headed outside.

 

The explosive sound that echoed as the door shattered from the central building shook the entire mountain stronghold.

 

The bandits who had been swaying drunkenly stumbled to their feet and looked toward the source of the commotion.

 

What entered their sight was the figure of an unfamiliar man emerging from the building together with the boy.

 

The bandits all wore stupid expressions, perhaps because they were still drunk, unable to properly grasp the situation.

 

Some grabbed their weapons just in case, but their hand movements were sluggish and their steps also staggered.
