192

Judging by the approaching presence’s aura, it was undoubtedly Gyo Myosangin.

Guyang Cheongang’s gaze deepened.

Neungnam Gwang had said that Gyo Myosangin was half a level higher than himself, but he showed no signs of fear.

That meant Gyo Myosangin’s skill level was similar to or slightly lower than Neungnam Gwang’s.

Guyang Cheongang’s gaze deepened.

‘I don’t think I’d lose even fighting Gyo Myosangin… but it would be better to deal with the small fry before facing him.’

There was no reason to keep alive an ambusher who would obviously try to strike from behind while fighting Gyo Myosangin.

At the ravine rear, Lady Bloodrose was anxiously surveying below.

She couldn’t sense any presence from her other companions who should have begun their attack by now.

Just as anxiety crept in and cold sweat ran down her spine.

“What are you looking at there?”

An emotionless, indifferent voice came from directly behind her.

“…?!”

Shocked beyond belief, Lady Bloodrose sprang forward like a spring, creating distance from her opponent before turning around.

What met her eyes was Guyang Cheongang’s figure standing like a ghost three zhang behind her.

Having grasped the situation in an instant, her face was painted with despair and terror.

The fact that this man had appeared before her, positioned furthest among the five ambushers, meant that her four other companions had already departed for the afterlife.

Guyang Cheongang’s gaze met Lady Bloodrose’s eyes.

Rather than eyes, they were more like an unfathomably deep and quiet abyss.

The moment she met those pupils that had settled coldly without a trace of emotion, Lady Bloodrose felt a chill as if all the blood in her body was freezing.

Her heart constricted and her lungs felt completely blocked.

She had to barely suppress the urge to collapse miserably as her legs gave way from extreme terror.

Then, Guyang Cheongang’s lips moved slightly.

“If you run, you die.”

Though it was an indifferent tone without emotion, Lady Bloodrose read the vicious killing intent contained in those words and shuddered.

Her hand, which had been moving toward the hidden weapon pouch in her sleeve out of habit, hesitated.

Her unique martial art was to unleash dozens of blood plum needles in an instant, turning enemies into honecombs.

But she inwardly sighed and withdrew her hand from the weapon pouch.

Drawing hidden weapons against a monster who had approached within three zhang behind her without even letting her sense his presence was not gambling, but pure suicide.

‘This person… is a master beyond what I can handle.’

She instinctively realized that the only way to survive this situation was to follow his will.

Having made up her mind, she immediately knelt on the cold ground.

“P-please spare me… Great Hero!”

She continued with a pale face.

“This humble woman simply couldn’t resist Elder Gyo Myosangin’s overwhelming influence. If I had refused to participate, he would have killed me brutally. If you would spare this worthless life, I will do anything within my power.”

The sight of her, called the greatest beauty of Zhejiang Province’s dark path, clinging pitifully was heartbreakingly sorrowful.

But Guyang Cheongang only looked down at her with cold eyes.

That indifferent gaze squeezed Lady Bloodrose’s heart.

She realized that seduction or excuses wouldn’t work on the young man before her.

Guyang Cheongang’s fingers struck through the air and pressed three of Lady Bloodrose’s pressure points like lightning.

“Ahh…!”

With a short moan, her body stiffened like a log.

The technique Guyang Cheongang used was a secret pressure point method that completely blocked her qi and blood flow, rendering her unable to move even a finger.

Guyang Cheongang lightly extended his hand toward her.

Invisible qi wrapped around her like spider silk, lifting her lightly into the air like a feather.

Guyang Cheongang turned and swiftly flew toward the camping site.

An unbelievable scene unfolded before the eyes of Neungnam Gwang, who was contemplating the Cheonmujinggyeol by the campfire, and Baek Muok, who was glancing worriedly at the forest where Guyang Cheongang had disappeared.

Guyang Cheongang, who had clearly said he was just going out for some fresh air, appeared like lightning in just a few minutes with some woman floating in midair.

“M-Master?!”

Baek Muok’s eyes widened.

Neungnam Gwang also cleared his dazed expression and straightened up.

When his gaze reached the woman floating stiffly in midair, his brow furrowed deeply.

“Brother, isn’t this woman Lady Bloodrose? How did you manage to get this woman…!”

Neungnam Gwang recognized her identity immediately.

The fact that she, a Transformation Realm level master, had been captured in such a miserable state darkened his complexion rapidly.

This was because he finally detected the ominous killing intent and smell of blood lingering in the surroundings.

Before Neungnam Gwang could interrogate further, Guyang Cheongang raised his hand first to cut off his words.

Guyang Cheongang’s gaze was already fixed toward the canyon entrance.

“Elder Brother, I’ll explain everything after all matters are concluded. Please protect Muwok for now.”

Though his tone was calm as usual, the weight contained within was like Mount Tai.

Then Neungnam Gwang also felt the powerful presence approaching the canyon entrance.

“Don’t tell me that Elder Demon Gyo Myosangin has moved personally?”

Instead of answering, Guyang Cheongang turned his body.

Whoosh-!

His body movement, kicking off the earth, once again traced a lightning-like trajectory and disappeared like a ghost into the canyon’s darkness.

Left behind, Neungnam Gwang looked back and forth between the stiffened Lady Bloodrose and the direction Guyang Cheongang had disappeared, clicking his tongue.

“This is something… even the Lightning God’s Swift Steps would be slower than my brother.”

Whooosh-

There was a shadow rushing toward the canyon’s narrow entrance with torrential momentum.

It was Gyo Myosangin.

Moving by stepping on tree branches, he descended to the ground silently like a cloud.

The moment his feet touched the ground, his complexion turned ashen.

He saw the corpses of Iron Scaled Dragon collapsed with his forehead pierced, and Dok Anggeom with his heart and throat mangled.

‘What in the world is this…?’

An ominous premonition struck him.

With an expression hard as stone, he raised his gaze to look at the camping site about a hundred zhang inside the canyon.

Though it was pitch-black darkness, his eyesight could see objects as clearly as midday.

He could see the young boy by the flickering campfire.

And beside him, the moment a middle-aged man leaning against a rock came into view, Gyo Myosangin’s pupils trembled like convulsions.

“Neung… nam Gwang?! Why is that bastard here?”

His complexion turned not just pale but completely white.

He had only come to catch a brat carrying Pungnimgok’s treasure, never imagining he would encounter Paekkwon Neungnamgwang.

His eyes then fell on Lady Bloodrose, kneeling and stiffened like a log.

Realizing the situation had gone completely wrong, Gyo Myosangin instinctively knew that dwelling on pride now would lead to an unpleasant outcome.

He was someone who valued life over pride.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Gyo Myosangin turned and kicked off the ground.

At that very moment, an ice-cold young man’s voice came from directly in front of him.

“You may have come as you pleased, but to leave, you need my permission, Elder Demon Gyo.”

“…?!”

Gyo Myosangin’s heart pounded as if it would burst from his mouth.

Without him knowing when it appeared, a young man with bewitchingly beautiful features was blocking his escape route, slowly revealing himself in midair.

His eyes glowing blue in the darkness were more intense than any formidable enemy Gyo Myosangin had faced in his lifetime.

The prey he thought was trapped had somehow transformed into a reaper targeting the hunter’s throat, standing before him.

Gyo Myosangin felt his scalp tingle as goosebumps rose all over his body.

He had survived for nearly a hundred years, maintaining his position proudly in Dosan Geomrim’s dark martial world.

But the pressure he felt from the young man before him was something he was experiencing for the first time in his life.

Incomprehensibly, it wasn’t something that came from martial arts, but rather closer to the primal fear of a living being facing an alien existence.

‘I need to escape. I must get away from this place immediately!’

He was someone who valued life over pride.

Gyo Myosangin didn’t hesitate for even a moment as he turned his body movement technique to kick off the ground.

Guyang Cheongang, who easily read his intentions, deployed Cheonaeibbo to block his escape route.

Swoosh-!

Seeing his escape path blocked in just one step, Gyo Myosangin’s face contorted.

There were no more options left.

If he couldn’t flee, he had to fight with all his might to break through.

And within the shortest time possible.

Gyo Myosangin’s gaze swept like lightning toward Neungnam Gwang, who sat peacefully watching him from a hundred zhang away.

If he intervened, there would be no chance for escape.

Gyo Myosangin’s eyes blazed with killing intent and madness as he roughly swung both his sleeves.

Whiiiiing-!

With an eerie flapping sound that tore through the night’s silence, over a hundred black shadows poured out from his voluminous sleeves.

Hideous creatures about half an inch in size that looked like a mix of centipedes and bats.

Their black bodies were crisscrossed with blood-red lines, and their burning red eyes were so malevolent that just looking at them instilled fear – they were vicious poisonous insects.

These were the Mukheolchung that Gyo Myosangin had raised for a hundred years, feeding them all kinds of extreme poisons.

The swarm of Mukheolchung formed a black curtain in midair as they rushed madly toward Guyang Cheongang.

Whiiiiiiing-

Simultaneously, Gyo Myosangin drew two Fengmafeng from his waist.

Clang-!

The five-zhang blue steel spears of the Fengmafeng shot up with terrifying momentum, targeting all the major acupoints across Guyang Cheongang’s body.

The sky became a sea of poisonous insects, and the ground was filled with destructive spear shadows.

Guyang Cheongang’s eyes turned ice-cold as he watched this wave-like assault.

‘Akasha, deploy the Biseong Cheonra Sword Formation.’

The moment his command fell, it seemed as if the Milky Way from the night sky was pouring down behind Guyang Cheongang.

The nanobot network rapidly self-replicated and reconstructed, filling the air with seventy-two Flying Star Cloud Swords in an instant.

A chilling killing intent flowed from the blade of each flying sword, overlaid with thin sword energy of a deep blue light darker than the abyss.

Flash-!

The seventy-two flying swords scattered in all directions like exploding starlight, tracing precise trajectories as they formed the Biseong Cheonra Sword Formation.

The sword net covered the sky, instantly enveloping the swarm of Mukheolchung rushing forward and Gyo Myosangin wielding his Fengmafeng with full power.

Clang-!

With an eardrum-piercing sharp sound of cutting air, the seventy-two flying swords embroidered the sky in a grid pattern.

Where the flying swords passed, deep blue afterimages clung together like chains, forming a prison of swords that isolated space itself.

At that moment, the air inside the sword formation was heavily compressed, generating powerful pressure dozens of times greater than gravity.

Whoooooong-

The movements of the Fengmafeng and Mukheolchung immediately slowed, and Gyo Myosangin’s complexion turned pale as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The ravine entrance that had been shrouded in darkness instantly transformed into a transcendent space studded with seventy-two blue stars.
