Chapter 105
Jung Myeong’s doubts grew more and more.
Wasn’t this someone who had lived in the underworld until now?
From what he had heard about him, his demon strategies surpassed those of most Evil Sect Martial Artists.
However, the sword technique contained within was excessively clean.
‘Shall I try something?’
That was what Jung Myeong found strange.
Tss-tss-tss-ts-
Jung Myeong then deployed the Same Return Step.
Using Jeonjin’s Gi Gi Myo Myo footwork technique, he wanted to turn the Sect Leader’s insides upside down.
Since what he wanted was Jeonjin’s secret technique, this was a perfect provocation strategy to provoke with this.
“!!!”
The Sect Leader’s expression greatly furrowed upon seeing him.
The provocation strategy had worked.
‘Let’s see!’
He thought the sword would become chaotic. But what do you know.
Tss-tss-ts- Tss-tss-
The sword ki of the sword in the Sect Leader’s hand grew thicker and denser.
But no further wickedness was shown.
Whooom- Whooom-
He simply swung his sword without hiding his anger.
‘Huh?’
The strangeness grew even more.
That guy also used sword ki.
Kuuuung. Kwa-deu-deu-deuk!
With that one move, the training ground floor kept caving in.
The fragments of sword waves that spread out noisily exploded around the area.
A being who could collapse the surroundings with just the aftermath of sparring.
Such a being was a Super Peak Level!
A living, breathing monster!
That was Super Peak Level!
What must be established to become such a monster.
That was precisely one’s own will.
Just as Jung Myeong had risen to Super Peak Level by materializing his will through the intent of obtaining perfection from imperfection.
‘That guy must surely be the same, right?’
That Sect Leader must also have an established will for rising to Super Peak Level.
Such will was definitely not something that could be easily hidden. It had no choice but to express the trajectory of one’s life somehow.
For Super Peak Level Evil Sect Martial Artists who lived wickedly, there was wickedness.
For those who learned demonic arts, there was demon energy.
For those who were fair and just, there had to be honesty befitting them in Super Peak Level martial arts.
It was a materialization that showed one’s life in a single move!
But what about this Sect Leader.
‘Why is it so clean?’
He was someone who lived by schemes themselves.
Wasn’t such a person’s sword too honest?
‘Is it because an Orthodox Sect member is an Orthodox Sect member?’
Tu-aa-ang! Ta-ak!
Before they knew it, the swords they exchanged had surpassed a hundred exchanges.
By this point, Jung Myeong had no choice but to put aside his doubts.
‘Right. If he exchanges swords this honestly, I’ll also properly engage with him.’
Around that time, Jung Myeong decided to erase his doubts.
Whether the opponent was someone who hid schemes or was cunning didn’t matter, right?
If the stage had opened this much, he thought it would be fine to properly exchange moves.
Go-o-o-o-o-!
It was the moment he abandoned his doubts and focused on his sword for that purpose.
“What…!?”
“Heh-hahahaha!”
At the very last moment.
Hwa-a-a-a-a-ak-!
The Sect Leader’s cunning scheme unfolded.
* * *
At the very last moment.
So that’s why he had patiently refrained from deploying schemes.
It had been dozens of exchanges since abandoning doubts and exchanging swords.
[You fall into Formation ????.]
[Formation ???? puts you in an abnormal state.]
Only after exchanging nearly two hundred moves did he finally reveal his hidden card.
‘Ah…! So this was it!’
A formation unfolded.
The unfolded formation enveloping him was instantaneous.
In an instant, his vision became disturbed.
[Status Abnormality: You experience dizziness.]
[Status Abnormality: You experience hallucinations.]
[Status Abnormality: You experience energy scattering.]
The dizzy vertigo was only the beginning.
-Jung Myeong. Ah… why are you suffering like this here?
The face of his dead master flashed by.
The subtle energy scattering occurring here gradually stole away his strength.
“Hehe. Your sword has slowed down?”
“How ridiculous, acting so pathetic and trashy.”
“You can’t even react to that laughter!”
Kwaaaaang-!
In contrast, the Sect Leader soared freely inside the formation.
As much as Jung Myeong’s energy was scattered, he seemed to gain strength.
Even amid the sporadic hallucinations, his mind alone appeared clear.
Huuuuung-!
He dodged the strange techniques Jung Myeong created more easily than before.
The vicious scheme was taking effect.
* * *
Was his technique working?
The Sect Leader became greatly excited.
“Hahahaha! Try blocking this too!”
Soul Shadow Deception Formation!
The worst formation that shakes the opponent’s soul and energy, ultimately splitting their ego!
This formation, one of the schemes the Gosan Sect had prepared for generations, shone brightly.
‘This is it!’
The Sect Leader felt his entire body soaking in pleasure.
This moment when his scheme was working properly!
Only that moment was the sole thing that brought him joy.
“Hehehe…”
“Now you’re not even hiding and showing your true colors.”
“What’s there to hide? Your death is already decided!”
“Death?”
“Yes! You die today!”
Swiiiek-!
The extending sword is smooth.
The sword energy unfolding with the Gosan Sect’s secret technique, Gosan Flowing Sword, is cleaner than ever.
Based on flow, adding speed with swiftness.
Adding the formation’s illusion to this, everything within the Soul Shadow Deception Formation seemed to help him.
“Die! Die!”
In contrast, Jung Myeong struggled.
He suffered as much as the other was ecstatic.
It was a moment when the mutual advantages and disadvantages were clearly decided.
‘Excellent!’
The Sect Leader cheered at this.
At most forty exchanges ahead. At least thirty exchanges.
The outcome was being predicted within that range.
With his own victory!
Was there any reason not to cheer at this?
“Die!”
The Sect Leader’s sword swinging toward Jung Myeong becomes even fiercer.
* * *
“Huu…”
Jung Myeong’s breathing is labored.
He looked to be struggling.
From the outside, Jung Myeong’s signs of defeat even appeared deep.
‘To think he would use schemes in such a way.’
Since the formation was deployed.
He had been greatly pushed back.
All kinds of hallucinations and illusions assaulted him.
The dizziness that came amid the energy scattering continuously gnawed at his mental strength.
How much longer could he endure like this?
At best, maybe one more moment.
He was using sword techniques plus hidden weapons, but they weren’t working well.
Though he had deployed poison prepared in advance, the Sect Leader seemed to have prepared Poison Immunity Beads to block this too.
The situation was greatly unfavorable.
‘It’s a proper formation.’
This formation.
It was something the Sect Leader could be confident of victory with.
However, even in this moment, he did not give up.
He was never one to give up in the first place.
He endlessly endured while searching for a breakthrough.
[Using Ki Sensing.]
[Using Analysis.]
[Using Formation Understanding.]
He heightened his constantly activated Ki Sensing. With this, he enhanced his analytical power.
Finding that insufficient, he mixed in Formation Understanding to try to read his surroundings.
And so.
[You succeed in seeing through the formation.]
He succeeds in seeing the formation.
They say seeing is half the battle.
The moment it became visible.
Swish swish swish swish-
He evaded as if seeing the formation’s flow with his eyes.
Graceful movements, like an absolute master avoiding a barrage of martial techniques, permeated Jung Myeong.
“What…!”
The Sect Leader was the first to feel the dramatic change.
Clearly the Soul Shadow Deception Formation should be working.
Yet he moves as if there’s no problem at all.
This is the moment he succeeds in escaping the formation!
* * *
‘How!? The formation is clearly operating normally with me as the axis?’
The Sect Leader’s face contorted.
“What are you so surprised about? This is just the beginning.”
“What?”
“Try to handle this.”
Jung Myeong wasn’t satisfied with just this.
He moved his hands in the air.
An ordinary person would think it was meaningless gesturing.
But the Sect Leader was not ordinary.
‘The, the formation’s momentum…!’
He too was someone within the formation.
Precisely, he was the controller playing within the Soul Shadow Deception Formation.
Being such a controller, he couldn’t help but feel it.
That control of the formation had been stolen from him.
‘What kind of absurd thing is this!’
To have control stolen from within the formation.
This is a miracle!
Yet it was actually happening.
This was a formation passed down through generations.
It was a formation he hadn’t even passed on to his own children yet.
He had strived so hard to keep its secrets hidden.
But how could that person control it?
The Soul Shadow Deception Formation, which could only be used after barely learning the unique secret techniques required to deploy it, was acting like his plaything.
Swish swish- Swish-
It seemed to sway gently, like a young fox greeting its master.
Far from obeying his control, it played under Jung Myeong’s touch.
What kind of absurd situation was this?
“Move! I said move! Aaaaah!”
The Sect Leader struggled desperately. He tried to use his energy to regain control of the formation.
It was useless.
Whooooom-!
The Soul Shadow Deception Formation acted like a living creature.
As if rejecting his touch, it violently poured out energy.
“Kuk…!”
A massive illusion struck him.
-Aaaaah! Traitor!
-Die! Die!
-I died because of your schemes!
“Get back in there! You dead ones should stay dead even in my head!”
As soon as he tried to escape the nightmare.
Massive dizziness struck him.
Pain that even a peak-level master would find hard to endure seeped in.
Pressure even greater than what Cao Cao had experienced tormented his head.
“Kuk… Keuuuk…”
Pain that made him wonder how that Jung Myeong had endured it assaulted him.
Still, the Sect Leader tried to endure.
To survive and swing his sword again to defeat Jung Myeong, he gritted his teeth.
He tried to regain his senses.
That effort wasn’t in vain.
“Huh…”
Swish swish swish-
He had barely managed to regain his composure.
However, in regaining his senses, he missed one thing.
This small opening!
That single gap becomes the most enormous opening in a battle between Super Peak Level fighters!
“No!”
What he saw the moment he came to his senses and looked straight ahead.
Swooooosh-
It was a massive bundle of Sword Ki being swung toward him.
He tried to swing his sword with both hands to block it belatedly, but it was useless.
Jung Myeong’s sword was too close for Late Strike First to work.
Craaack-
Jung Myeong’s sword finally split the Sect Leader.
When that sword reached the ground, his corpse, bisected by Single Blade Bisection, split in half.
Thud. Thump.
His corpse, split to both sides, fell to the ground, and a bloody mist scattered across the surrounding floor.
