139

 

The sight Guyang Cheongang observed from the fishing boat was truly spectacular.

 

About forty pirate ships were densely packed together at three-jang intervals, and the torches made the deck situations of each ship clearly visible.

 

‘How thoughtful. There couldn’t be better targets than this.’

 

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

 

If they had been scattered, he would have had to hunt them down one by one, but they had gathered themselves in one place.

 

Guyang Cheongang drew up the internal energy from his dantian.

 

The Transcendent Impermanence Divine Art that arose from his dantian flowed through the meridians throughout his body.

 

In the pitch-black darkness without even moonlight, his figure standing tall at the stern of the fishing boat was faintly revealed under the torches held by the pirates.

 

The pirates’ faces all hardened at once.

 

A single man standing alone on a small fishing boat.

 

But the aura emanating from him was so overwhelming that it was hard to believe it belonged to a human.

 

“That… that bastard is alone?”

 

“Is he crazy? He’s going to face us by himself?”

 

The pirates felt both absurdity and terror simultaneously.

 

Already more than ten ships had gone up in flames.

 

The opponent was a master who had accomplished that feat alone.

 

So even if their numbers were hundreds of times greater, it made no sense to underestimate the enemy.

 

Because cold killing intent began to flow from Guyang Cheongang’s eyes.

 

The wind stopped.

 

The sound of waves also subsided.

 

The pirates felt the strange sensation that the entire sea was holding its breath.

 

And the next moment.

 

Guyang Cheongang kicked off from the fishing boat and soared into midair.

 

Rising several jang high, he plummeted toward the nearest pirate ship like a giant hawk diving toward its prey.

 

Bang!

 

The mast of the first ship was struck by his palm wind and broke off at the roots.

 

But that was only the beginning.

 

As soon as Guyang Cheongang landed on that ship’s deck, the thick hull beneath his feet began to tear like paper.

 

“Aaahhh!”

 

The pirates screamed and jumped into the sea, but it was already too late.

 

The entire ship split in half and began sinking into the sea.

 

But Guyang Cheongang did not remain there.

 

Using the mast of the sinking ship as a foothold, he soared into midair again and launched his body toward the adjacent ship about three jang away.

 

Speed so fast it didn’t even leave an afterimage.

 

It was the Phantom Shadowless Divine Method.

 

Bang! Bang! Bang!

 

With consecutive impact sounds, ships were devastatingly destroyed wherever he passed.

 

Some ships had their masts broken and collapsed, while others had holes pierced in their sides with water pouring in.

 

Still other ships were split completely in half and disappeared into the sea along with the pirates.

 

Im Bang watched the scene with a dazed expression.

 

‘This… this kind of thing…’

 

What he witnessed was absolute destruction that transcended the realm of humanity.

 

Guyang Cheongang was carrying out one-sided slaughter, moving from ship to ship like a legendary sea dragon flying freely over the waters.

 

“Vice Sect Leader! Please give your orders!”

 

Im Bang gritted his teeth at his subordinate’s desperate cry.

 

“Gather the warships! Surround and stop him!”

 

But before his command could even be transmitted, another explosive sound rang out.

 

Bang!

 

Im Bang’s face turned pale.

 

It was impossible to even follow the enemy’s movements with his eyes.

 

Just when he thought he heard a roar from one direction, another ship was already being destroyed somewhere else.

 

How could this be human speed?

 

“That… that’s not human!”

 

“It’s a monster! A monster of the sea!”

 

The pirates’ screams and cries filled the night sea.

 

Some jumped into the sea, while others sat trembling on the deck, paralyzed with fear.

 

The precisely organized fleet formation instantly turned into a scene of carnage.

 

Even Im Bang, who had lived facing the storms of Gangho head-on, felt his clenched fists trembling.

 

‘Like this… like this, it will be total annihilation.’

 

But there was nothing he could do.

 

The opponent was moving freely across the sea as if it were land, wreaking overwhelming destruction, while they could only be helplessly beaten while trapped on their ships.

 

The sea was becoming the White Whale Gang’s grave.

 

Im Bang gritted his teeth.

 

He couldn’t just wait for death’s footsteps in this state.

 

If he did, not only would the fleet be completely annihilated, but he wouldn’t be able to preserve his own life either.

 

“Gather all surviving captains to my ship! Right now!”

 

His subordinate quickly sent flag signals.

 

Black shadows began rising from the ships remaining around the command ship.

 

The captains of each vessel were using Light Body Technique to rush over.

 

They were all first-rate masters approaching the peak level.

 

Leaping between ships that were close enough to almost touch each other was not difficult for them.

 

But even in the midst of this.

 

Bang!

 

Another ship split in half and sank into the sea.

 

One of the captains who was running over last fell into the sea along with the sinking ship.

 

“Aaaaah!”

 

His desperate scream was buried in the waves and disappeared.

 

In the end, only twelve captains were able to reach the command ship.

 

Their faces were all pale as death.

 

Fear and despair were mixed in their eyes.

 

It couldn’t be helped.

 

The fact that only they remained in less than an hour meant that all the remaining forty-odd ships had either sunk to the bottom of the sea or been completely neutralized.

 

Even while they were crossing over, the terrible destruction continued.

 

Bang! Bang! Bang!

 

Thunderous roars that split through the darkness shook the night sea.

 

And each time, a pirate ship would shatter to pieces and disappear into the dark blue sea.

 

“Uuugh…”

 

A pained groan flowed from someone’s throat.

 

Though they were people who had lived by plundering countless ships and cutting down numerous enemies, they had never experienced such a desperate situation as today.

 

“Vice Sect Leader… now… now it’s really just us.”

 

Blood Rain Sword Jo Yang said, stammering.

 

Im Bang raised his head to look straight ahead.

 

The very person who had turned half of the White Whale Gang’s elite into fish food at the bottom of the sea was right there.

 

On the mast of a sinking ship three zhang away from the command ship.

 

There, a man stood upright.

 

A tall man who appeared to be around thirty years old.

 

He looked ordinary at first glance, but his eyes were anything but ordinary.

 

Deep, cold pupils that seemed to peer into the abyss were directed toward Im Bang.

 

The man carried an ancient long sword over four chi long on his back, but he had never once drawn that sword until now.

 

With his bare hands, he had turned over three thousand subordinates aboard fifty-one ships into wandering souls.

 

One of his subordinates muttered in a trembling voice.

 

“Monster… he’s a monster…”

 

Im Bang clenched his fists.

 

Cold sweat flowed down his palms.

 

It wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid, but he was the Vice Sect Leader of the White Whale Gang.

 

Even if he had to die with a blade in his teeth, he could not submit to the enemy.

 

“Everyone listen!”

 

His voice, powered firmly from his lower abdomen, echoed across the deck.

 

“No matter how skilled that bastard is, he’s alone. We are thirteen. If we all attack at once, we have a chance. You know there’s no match for ganging up on someone.”

 

“Vice Sect Leader…”

 

One subordinate shook his head with a despairing expression and continued.

 

“What meaning do numbers have before that monster? Even though thousands have attacked him so far…”

 

Im Bang drew his Water-Splitting Blade from his waist and shouted.

 

“Bullshit! We still have to fight! You saw what he’s capable of. He has no intention of letting us live. There’s nowhere to run, and he won’t spare us even if we surrender. Then what choice do we have but to fight?”

 

The captains looked at each other’s faces.

 

Resolve began to form in their eyes as well.

 

Though it was a desperate situation, they too were pirates who had made their names on the seas.

 

“Damn… Fine.”

 

“On the honor of the White Whale Gang!”

 

One by one, voices of agreement followed.

 

It was right at that moment.

 

An inscrutable smile appeared on the lips of Guyang Cheongang, who stood on the mast of the sinking ship.

 

His gaze met with Im Bang’s.

 

A cold shiver ran down Im Bang’s spine.

 

‘He’s coming…’

 

Whoosh-

 

Guyang Cheongang kicked off the mast and flew toward the command ship like a great roc.

 

Among Im Bang, Jo Yang, and their twelve subordinates, there was already a shared understanding that none of them could face him alone.

 

Three men wielding Nine Sickle Spears, Water Splitters, and Razor Blades swung their weapons toward Guyang Cheongang, while three behind them leaped up a zhang and launched Palm Winds.

 

All six poured their entire internal energy into executing the best techniques they had mastered.

 

They were confident that since Guyang Cheongang was already airborne, he would have no choice but to face their attacks head-on.

 

Unless he possessed supernatural martial arts like the legendary Light Body Technique of Kunlun, the Cloud Dragon Eight Great Forms, changing direction in midair would be impossible.

 

Their prediction was not wrong.

 

Guyang Cheongang did not dodge and met their attacks head-on.

 

Of course, it wasn’t because he lacked the ability to avoid them.

 

The Aerial Rotation ability of the Phantom Shadowless Divine Method was in no way inferior to the Cloud Dragon Eight Great Forms.

 

He simply felt no need to dodge.

 

Kukukukukuku-

 

His hand extended forward, and Palm Forces so fast they were invisible to the eye and carrying terrifying mass followed one after another, overlapping.

 

The Gale Nine Tribulations Technique was unleashed.

 

Four overlapping, overwhelming Palm Forces collided head-on with three Palm Forces and three weapons.

 

Kwakwakwakwang!

 

With a tremendous explosion, thick sprays of blood scattered across the deck.

 

There were no screams.

 

The six pirates were nowhere to be seen either.

 

All that was visible were weapon fragments scattered like metal powder and red blood.

 

“Gulp…”

 

“Mmm…”

 

Someone swallowed saliva, and someone let out a moan of terror.

 

Someone seemed to have wet themselves, as a foul smell drifted on the wind.

 

Im Bang’s hands, holding the Water-Splitting Blade and Dragon-Crossing Chain, trembled violently.

 

Just one second.

 

The number of seconds needed for six first-rate expert subordinates to disappear into a handful of blood.

 

It was something impossible even for him, let alone Sect Leader Hyeok Seung, even at full power.

 

Im Bang gulped and asked.

 

“Are you… Hahou Gang?”

 

Even though this was an opponent he was fighting for his life against, he dared not speak down to him. And he wasn’t even aware of this fact.

 

It was the terrifying aura flowing from the man standing before them that created this effect.

 

Guyang Cheongang chuckled and said.

 

“Hahou Gang? That’s not right.”

 

“Then… then who exactly are you?”

 

“Jang Woomyeong of Dongryeong Salt Field Martial Arts Pier.”

 

It was a name he had never heard before.

 

But Im Bang didn’t think it was strange.

 

He didn’t know every master in All Under Heaven after all.

 

As he swallowed his saliva and was about to open his mouth again, Guyang Cheongang spoke first.

 

“Don’t warriors speak with their swords?”

 

Im Bang closed his mouth.

 

The opponent was right.

 

What more words were needed at this point?

 

His questioning had only come from an instinct to unconsciously delay the moment of death.

 

Guyang Cheongang wiggled his fingertips with an indifferent expression and said.

 

“Don’t roll your eyes around like a frightened dog. Come at me.”

 

The faces of Im Bang, Jo Yang, and the other captains turned bright red as killing intent blazed in their eyes.

 

While it was true they were frightened, being called frightened dogs by their enemy awakened their rough pirate nature.

 

“This bastard…”

 

“Son of a bitch!”

 

“Die!”

 

Including Im Bang wielding his Water-Splitting Blade, all eight kicked off the deck and flew toward Guyang Cheongang.

 

Swiiiiiiish-

 

Blade light and sword shadows pierced the sky as Air-Splitting Sounds shook the night sea.

 

The speed of their all-out attack was so fast that ordinary people would have difficulty following it with their eyes.

 

However, to Guyang Cheongang’s eyes, with his Cognitive Acceleration ability reaching 50% of combat mode as he faced the Transformation Realm, it was only slightly faster than a slug.

 

He slowly reached for the handle of the Supreme Sword on his back.

 

And then,

 

Flash-

 

Along with a brilliant light, the first move of Absolute Three Swords, One Flash Cuts Heaven, split the darkness horizontally.

 

It was only natural that the bodies of Im Bang and the others were caught in that trajectory.
