Chapter 59: Jakryang Mountain (2)

 

 

Boom boom bang!

Won Pil-so’s Fire Magic exploded.

Five or six cultivators from the Ten Thousand Poison Six Evil Sect were simultaneously engulfed in flames. The cultivators who weren’t caught up in it also hastily retreated backward.

 

Cheon Woo-jin used that gap to leap forward.

Other enemies rushed to catch Cheon Woo-jin, but he had already generated a sphere of Lightning Energy in his grasp.

 

[Thunder Pomegranate]

[Thunder Step]

 

He threw the Lightning Energy sphere and immediately escaped from that spot.

The sphere exploded like a bomb, instantly killing the cultivators who had been trying to overwhelm Cheon Woo-jin.

 

Cheon Woo-jin generated crackling Lightning Energy beneath his feet and slid into the middle of the enemy lines.

At that sight, the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Poison Six Evil Sect shouted out.

 

“Kill him!”

“We must catch that bastard!”

 

Rumble rumble rumble!

Various kinds of magic arts poured toward Cheon Woo-jin.

 

Just because they’re called the Ten Thousand Poison Six Evil Sect doesn’t mean they only use poison.

While it’s true that they consider poison most important, they also learn martial techniques and magic arts from completely unrelated schools.

Especially in group battles like this, there’s a risk of poisoning allies, so they can’t carelessly use poison.

 

Today they had already deployed a large-scale Poison Formation, with poison jars spewing toxic vapors.

The cultivators guarding the jars had been informed in advance what kind of poison would emerge from their assigned areas and had taken antidotes, making self-detoxification possible.

So they just needed to guard the jars against the Golden Wing Sect cultivators while countering with regular magic arts.

If they held out like that, the enemies would be poisoned by the toxic vapors from the jars and collapse one by one.

 

That was the plan… but everything had gone wrong.

 

“That bastard isn’t approaching the jars…!”

“No! What that bastard is targeting is…!”

 

Cheon Woo-jin didn’t approach near the jars where the toxic vapor concentration was thick.

He was burrowing through the gaps between spaces where there wasn’t much toxic vapor, heading toward his target location.

 

‘Over there.’

 

The center of the spiritual vein where the jars were connected.

Cheon Woo-jin reached his hand toward the core of the Poison Formation disguised as an ordinary rock.

 

[Thunder Spear]

 

By the incantation of the Thunder Spirit Great Evolution Art, Fire Element and Water Element collided within his body.

He thrust the Lightning Energy spear created as a result into the rock at close range.

 

Crack!

Cracks appeared in the rock and an explosion immediately occurred.

Then the spiritual vein was severed and the toxic vapors from the poison jars began to fade.

 

“Now’s the time! Everyone launch an offensive!”

 

Jang Ryang threw talismans while raising his voice.

Then the nearby Golden Wing Sect cultivators gritted their teeth and launched a counterattack.

 

Thanks to Cheon Woo-jin moving around destroying the vital points of the Poison Formation one by one, their allies were getting breathing room.

 

“Cheon Daoist, which direction should we go next… Gasp!”

 

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Suddenly wind blades came pouring down.

 

Jang Ryang hastily deployed Defensive Magic, and Won Pil-so also stepped backward.

If Cheon Woo-jin hadn’t dodged with Thunder Step, his entire body would have been slashed to pieces.

 

“Are you the one who killed Dan Mok-gil and Bok Si-wan?”

 

A woman holding a single sword was glaring at Cheon Woo-jin from across the Lava Valley.

 

[Seo Young]

* Race: Human

* Age: 283 years

* Realm: Core Formation Middle Stage

* Constitution: Wood Spirit Root, Wind Spirit Body

* Faction: Dark Gate

* Affiliation: Ten Thousand Poison Six Evil Sect

* Destiny: Emotional Alliance

 

Core Formation Middle Stage.

She was a master he had never encountered once while coming this far.

 

“I’ll ask once more.”

 

She raised her bluish sword and asked.

 

“Are you the one who killed my juniors Dan Mok-gil and Bok Si-wan?”

“…”

 

Those two were the Core Formation Early Stage cultivators that Cheon Woo-jin had recently defeated.

He had never exchanged names with them, but he knew from their Status Windows.

 

However, Cheon Woo-jin ignored that question.

There was no particular reason to answer her.

 

“It seems I’m right.”

 

Without waiting for Cheon Woo-jin’s answer, Seo Young swung her sword.

Immediately after, a sharp wind blade flew toward Cheon Woo-jin.

 

Whoooosh!

Wind attribute Sword Qi so intense it could create waves in the lava gorge.

It had enough power to slice several people in half at once.

 

But it didn’t reach Cheon Woo-jin.

While Seo Young kept asking questions, he had already drawn out his Silver Spirit Steel Guardian Shield.

The protective barrier deployed from the silver shield protected Cheon Woo-jin’s body.

The Silver Spirit Steel Guardian Shield, being a supreme defensive magical tool, could block even a Core Formation cultivator’s Sword Qi.

 

“You use magical tools well!”

 

Thud!

Crushing the red earth beneath her feet, Seo Young leaped up.

She seemed to charge straight at Cheon Woo-jin in a parabolic arc over the boiling lava.

But she changed trajectory mid-air using the power of wind.

 

Whoooosh!

A chilling blade piercing toward Cheon Woo-jin’s flank.

But this time it didn’t reach him either. Cheon Woo-jin was reading the flow of wind and predicting her movements.

 

Clang!

Seo Young’s blade bounced off the Silver Spirit Steel Guardian Shield.

You blocked this too? Toward Seo Young whose eyes seemed to say that, Cheon Woo-jin roughly thrust out his left hand.

 

[Thunder Pomegranate]

 

Seeing him throw a sphere of Lightning Energy, Seo Young stepped back one pace.

She must have calculated that stepping back that much would be enough to avoid it.

 

But it was a wrong judgment.

The Lightning Energy burst like an exploding pomegranate and engulfed Seo Young.

 

“Mmm…!”

 

Still, Seo Young wasn’t easy to deal with.

She defended her body with her blade, minimizing the damage.

 

“Cheon Daoist!”

“We’ll help!”

 

Then Jang Ryang and Won Pil-so rushed in from behind Seo Young.

But Seo Young cast magic arts without even looking back.

A blue whirlwind swept around, hindering the two men’s approach.

 

“Ugh!”

“Damn…!”

 

Still, thanks to that, Cheon Woo-jin gained some breathing room.

 

Fluttering his sleeves, he deployed the Heavenly Armor Flying Spirit.

Six Flying Spirits charged at Seo Young all at once.

Seo Young sneered and swung her sword, but at best she could only deflect the Flying Spirits, not destroy them.

 

The Heavenly Armor Flying Spirit was made from the exoskeleton of the Dark Dew Great King Centipede, a Core Formation demon beast.

To destroy it, even Seo Young would need to concentrate her full power in an attack.

But doing so would risk showing an opening to Cheon Woo-jin.

 

How should she deal with this.

A momentary hesitation could be glimpsed in Seo Young’s eyes.

 

Cheon Woo-jin didn’t miss that opening.

 

[Black Lightning Annihilation]

 

Black Lightning Energy blades poured down.

Not just one blade. Seo Young’s eyes widened at the sight of hundreds of pitch-black blades swirling around.

 

“Kuk…!”

 

Seo Young also launched wind attribute Sword Qi in succession.

But the problem was that she had reacted a beat too late.

The space of death and annihilation that Cheon Woo-jin had already deployed was filling her vision completely.

 

The pitch-black blades devoured the wind blades.

No matter how sharp the wind was, it was insufficient to tear through Cheon Woo-jin’s Black Lightning Annihilation.

 

When the storm of Black Lightning that had been raging madly subsided.

Seo Young was kneeling on one knee, her entire body reduced to rags.

 

“Ugh…!”

 

Drip, drip.

Chunks of flesh fell from Seo Young’s body along with blood.

Because she was a Core Formation cultivator, she was still maintaining her life, but her limbs were severely damaged, leaving her unable to swing her sword anymore.

 

When Cheon Woo-jin was about to launch Lightning Energy to finish her off.

Suddenly an eerie wind blew.

 

[Jueyin Wind Evil Withered Wood Method]

 

Cheon Woo-jin immediately launched Lightning Energy, but Seo Young used her blade as a shield to thoroughly defend her abdomen where her Golden Core was located. Though he managed to redirect the Lightning Energy to eventually pierce Seo Young’s Golden Core, her final magic arts had already been completed.

 

With a bitter smile, Seo Young collapsed with a thud.

Watching her, Cheon Woo-jin felt his body growing cold and shivering as if he had caught a cold.

 

‘Wind Evil.’

 

Wind Evil.

It was the first of the Six Evils among wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, and fire.

Simply put, it was wind poison.

 

When wind poison penetrated through the pores, fever and chills appeared simultaneously.

If this worsened, high fever would manifest and one would hover between life and death.

 

This wasn’t utilizing poison obtained from nature, but creating Six Evil Poisons through spiritual power.

Dan Mok-gil, whom he had fought before, had also created dry evil poison using the Yang Brightness Dry Poison Corpse Mountain Technique.

Since it was poison created through spiritual power, even antidotes made from Dark Path Great King Centipede’s poison wouldn’t work.

 

“Cheon Daoist!”

“Did you get poisoned!”

 

Jang Ryang and Won Pil-so, who had been dealing with other cultivators, rushed to Cheon Woo-jin.

 

“What kind of poison is it? Let’s use a general antidote first…”

“Wait.”

 

Cheon Woo-jin put his hand into his Storage Bag.

And pulled out a yellow mushroom.

 

“Huh…?”

 

Crunch crunch.

Cheon Woo-jin chewed and ate the mushroom raw.

At this sight, Jang Ryang and Won Pil-so widened their eyes.

 

“Why are you suddenly eating mushrooms…”

“It’s Spicy Yellow Wood Ear that I brought from the poisonous mushroom cultivation facility last time.”

“…!”

 

Despite being a mushroom, it had a spicy and bitter taste.

While forcing himself to swallow it, Cheon Woo-jin explained.

 

“Its nature is harsh and damages vital energy, but in return, it has a powerful surface-releasing wind-expelling effect.”

“Ah…!”

 

Surface-releasing wind-expelling meant driving out wind poison that had entered the body surface.

Simply put, it could be called cold medicine.

However, the Ten Thousand Poison Six Evil Sect cultivated mutant varieties with maximized properties for use in poison manufacturing.

 

Cheon Woo-jin utilized this aspect.

While it was like poison to ordinary people, if one used spiritual power to properly control the mushroom’s energy, it could become a specific remedy that could even expel Six Evil Poisons.

 

After experiencing Dan Mok-gil’s Yang Brightness Dry Poison Corpse Mountain Technique last time, Cheon Woo-jin had been continuously researching to counter the Ten Thousand Poison Six Evil Sect’s Six Evil Poisons.

Collecting anything that caught his interest whenever he raided poison cultivation grounds was also for this purpose.

 

As a result of researching by directly eating each one, he concluded that this Spicy Yellow Wood Ear was a specific remedy when afflicted by Wind Evil.

He had already found specific remedies for each of the remaining Six Evils as well, not just Wind Evil.

 

“Phew…”

 

He dissolved the Spicy Yellow Wood Ear’s energy with spiritual power and spread it throughout his body.

Then the trembling gradually subsided.

When he touched his forehead, the fever was no longer rising.

 

“I seem to be fine now.”

“Ah…!”

 

Jang Ryang and Won Pil-so rejoiced and patted Cheon Woo-jin’s back.

 

“Haha, you’re quite talented!”

“I wondered why you collected so many poison-related books – you had it all planned out!”

 

They seemed too relaxed in the middle of enemy lines, but there was no major problem.

Thanks to Cheon Woo-jin boldly breaking through enemy lines and paralyzing poison formations, the Golden Wing Sect side was already gaining the upper hand.

 

“Cheon Daoist!”

 

Then Gwak Gyeong-in approached Cheon Woo-jin.

His golden armor was dented and blood was flowing from his forehead, but he didn’t seem to have suffered major injuries.

 

“Too bold! I asked you to play the role of striking the enemies’ vital points, but I didn’t mean for you to do such dangerous things!”

“I’m sorry for moving rashly.”

“It’s not about being sorry…!”

 

Gwak Gyeong-in, who had been speaking, let out a big sigh.

His emotions seemed to be overwhelming him, making it hard to speak properly.

 

“Really… thank you.”

 

Gwak Gyeong-in placed his hand on Cheon Woo-jin’s shoulder and continued speaking.

 

“Without you, the damage would have been severe. How can I repay this debt…”

“Let’s talk about that later.”

 

Cheon Woo-jin cut off Gwak Gyeong-in’s words midway.

 

Certainly, the ground battle was in the Golden Wing Sect’s favor.

If this continued, they would be able to subdue all the Ten Thousand Poison Six Evil Sect’s cultivators.

 

However.

That didn’t mean the Golden Wing Sect would win today’s decisive battle.

Rather, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the ground fighting had little impact on today’s victory or defeat.

 

The most important battle was taking place elsewhere.

 

“The situation doesn’t look good.”

“What did you say?”

 

The moment Cheon Woo-jin raised his head.

A person fell from the sky.

 

“Se, Sect Master?!”

 

Thud!

Golden Wing Sect Master Lee Seon-gyeong crashed into a corner of the volcano.

Fortunately, he didn’t fall onto the lava, but his appearance was miserable.

 

His entire body was swollen bright red, and pus was oozing from areas where his skin had festered.

Everyone held their breath at that terrible sight.

 

“Fire poison…!”

 

In pathology, fire means inflammation.

Right now, Lee Seon-gyeong was in a state of extreme inflammation due to poison that had infiltrated his body.

 

There was only one person who could reduce Lee Seon-gyeong, a Peak Realm expert, to this state.

 

“Sect Master Lee, didn’t I tell you earlier?”

 

Then a voice was heard from overhead.

From the sky where Lee Seon-gyeong had just fallen, another Peak Realm expert was looking down at them.

 

“That a lot of blood would be spilled.”

 

Ten Thousand Poison Six Evil Sect Master Gi Sin-ryeo.

Having achieved victory in the battle between sect masters, he smiled cruelly with his wrinkled face.
