Chapter 190: The Battle of Wuhan (2)

The Swordsman’s energy, the Invisible Sword, decorated the sky of Wuhan.

On the ground, hundreds of thousands of Jecheon Daeseong’s clones were packed so densely there was no room to step, waiting only for orders.

“Wonsungi!”

“What is it?”

“Take it easy. If the broadcast ends too quickly, the viewers might be disappointed.”

“I’ll control it appropriately.”

But the Swordsman’s true feelings were different.

If Monkey showed off too much, it would cause problems for his broadcast.

If possible, it would be best if that guy didn’t stand out.

The broadcast should have him as the main character.

Monkey should just be seasoning to make the broadcast more flavorful.

That’s how he had planned it.

Anyway.

“Well, shall we slowly begin?”

At the border of the fog-filled ruined city of Wuhan.

The Swordsman, Gwi-gok, and Jecheon Daeseong pressed the live broadcast start button.

Ding!

[Starting live broadcast.]

The ruined land of China was a forbidden zone.

A land crawling with national disaster-level Beyond monsters that couldn’t be handled by Awakened Guards’ power or modern scientific weapons.

Until now, the best they could do was send reconnaissance aircraft to attach identification numbers to each Beyond and observe their movements.

Moreover, Hubei Wuhan, where even reconnaissance was impossible, was an unknown territory even within China.

There was circumstantial evidence that something existed in Wuhan, but they couldn’t know exactly what it was.

But a live broadcast of a Wuhan Beyond monster raid.

Just the title alone was enough to stimulate people’s curiosity.

Nevertheless, people were skeptical.

A Beyond raid in Wuhan, which was difficult to even approach.

Even the Emperor of Samhan, rumored to be strong, had died fighting Beyond.

Right.

This must be a clickbait broadcast.

But the host of the live broadcast.

Who was he?

None other than YouTube streamer Dongbin, who was considered the strongest soul connector on Earth with his astounding martial prowess.

He was also the star of the Sahara Grassland Gate monster raid video that recorded 2 billion views in the shortest time.

Viewers who subscribed to his channel and even set notifications were the first to enter the channel.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…

Viewers flooding in like a tide.

– DongbinLove has entered the channel.

– InterestingJinJin has entered the channel.

– oldsun has entered the channel.

– ChewyCheeksDongbin has entered the channel.

– user78478 has entered the channel.

.

.

.

The Swordsman welcomed the viewers with an excited voice.

“Oh my! Brothers, have you been well? I can’t tell you how happy I am to meet you with new content.”

└ Wow! It really is Dongbin!

└ You’re here again.

└ Is this really Wuhan?

└ Location info appeared. It’s certain. It’s Wuhan in China.

└ Old man! We have high expectations this time too.

“I’ve prepared thoroughly. You can look forward to it.”

Even before the broadcast properly started, donations poured in.

Ding ding ding ding…

“Heh heh heh, why are you all so hasty? I haven’t shown you anything yet.”

How satisfying.

The live broadcast was practically already a success.

Then!

A message someone wrote appeared in the chat window.

└ But there are more live channels besides this one.

└ Huh? There are more?

└ Wait, I’m checking right now… Gasp!

└ What? What’s with the fuss?

└ It’s Jecheon Daeseong. Damn! Is this a dream?

└ Jecheon Daeseong? Sun Wukong…?

The chat window went crazy.

└ Insane! Jecheon Daeseong is holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang and riding Geunduun!

└ Don’t lie!

└ If I’m lying, I’ll bet my pinky finger.

└ Uh, where? What’s the channel name?

The aftermath had a fatal impact on the Swordsman’s live channel.

– OtaEmperor has left the channel.

– InterestingJinJin has left the channel.

– GiveMeBuff has left the channel.

– FullOwnership has left the channel.

– DongbinLove has left the channel.

.

.

.

Seeing this, the Swordsman became desperate.

“No, no, why? Don’t, don’t leave.”

He had also read the chat messages.

Jecheon Daeseong’s appearance.

Oh no!

His feared scenario had become reality.

“Don’t, don’t leave, I can do better than that monkey! Trust me and watch…”

However, viewers left as quickly as they had entered.

“Ahhh.”

The Swordsman’s eyes filled with despair.

Throughout all his experiences before and after becoming an immortal, among all the countless crises he had faced, this moment was the most dangerous.

Still.

‘I can’t give up.’

Would he surrender here?

If so, he wouldn’t have started in the first place.

The Swordsman’s face filled with determination.

‘Let’s do this, Monkey!’

Whiriririt!

The smartphone cast with EarPhone flew through the sky.

The Swordsman’s intangible swords of sword energy scattered brilliant light in countless numbers, showing their presence here and there.

I’ll acknowledge the Monkey’s reputation.

But broadcasting isn’t just about having a name.

Refined hosting, dazzling camera work, and appropriate reactions.

It’s a comprehensive art form where all these elements come together harmoniously.

How could a mere demon possibly match an Immortal’s content mastery?

First of all, how are you going to film the video?

Holding a camera in one hand and the Ruyi Staff in the other…

This way, proper filming can’t be achieved.

However.

“…Damn it!”

I forgot.

The monkey wasn’t alone.

“Kikikikikik!”

A smartphone filming team consisting of about 100 clones.

They were supporting the camera-holding clones with their hands, lifting them up high for filming.

They captured the main body Jecheon Daeseong’s movements at the center, filming from optimal distances and angles.

Actually, Jecheon Daeseong was flustered at first too.

‘Broadcasting, huh.’

It was his first attempt at this.

‘Can I do it well?’

Beating up demons was nothing.

He could just lie down comfortably with his legs crossed and tap them with his extended Ruyi Staff.

The problem was broadcasting.

How could he possibly compete with the Swordsman’s iGear Phone?

But soon a clever idea came to mind.

He wasn’t singular in number.

He assigned the most important task of smartphone filming to 100 elite clones infused with specially concentrated demonic energy.

“Let’s go!”

Jecheon Daeseong gripped his Ruyi Staff and entered Wuhan.

The clone filming team followed behind him.

“Ooook!”

When he first started the broadcast, there were hardly any viewers…

A small number of viewers who had difficulty entering the Swordsman’s channel joined Jecheon Daeseong’s live channel.

└ ?

└ ??

└ What? Am I seeing this right?

└ Hmm, this is different from the naked golden monkey I saw before. This monkey is wearing armor.

└ Look at the head too.

└ A golden circlet?

└ …The real Jecheon Daeseong?

└ No way, that’s impossible.

└ He has the Ruyi Staff too. Where did he make that?

And rumors spread through the community.

Viewers rushed to join.

Messages flooded the chat window.

└ Wow! It’s Sun Wukong! The clones came too.

└ Is, is Jecheon Daeseong really a real person?

└ It must be a costume.

└ Hehehe, you believed that? How naive.

└ Is the Ruyi Staff a prop too?

└ I think so too. The costume is surprisingly elaborate.

└ Right. It’s almost identical. Look at how the tail moves.

But when Jecheon Daeseong summoned Geunduun.

└ Huh?

└ …That, that thing?

└ No way?

└ Crazy!

└ Is it real?

└ It’s Geunduun! It’s Geunduun.

└ My goodness!

Geunduun’s appearance.

The chat window exploded.

Swoosh!

There was no need to fly high.

He only lifted about 1 meter from the ground.

He planned to fight on the ground anyway.

Before engaging in full-scale combat, Jecheon Daeseong slightly turned his head to check the smartphone screen.

└ Fuck, who was talking nonsense about it being a costume?

└ I’m speechless. To think it’s the actual Jecheon Daeseong.

└ I knew it. The golden monkey that appeared before was a preview.

└ Sun Wukong! Long live!

└ Jecheon Daeseong looked at me!!!

└ I love you!

└ I could die without regrets.

Jecheon Daeseong grinned.

‘Was I this popular?’

Well, he had suspected as much.

He had searched endlessly for derivative works based on himself in the Immortal Realm.

But actually experiencing the feeling was different.

It felt so good.

He understood why the Swordsman was so obsessed with broadcasting.

However.

‘Eek!’

The Swordsman’s expression seen from the corner of his eye.

Eyes filled with jealousy.

This won’t do.

He needed to restrain himself.

Gwi-gok had a plan too.

The Swordsman creating vivid and thrilling videos with his iGear Phone, and Jecheon Daeseong who was popular from the start.

He couldn’t compare to either of them.

But what if he captured both the Swordsman and Jecheon Daeseong on screen simultaneously?

People could watch both without needing to switch channels, just staying glued to his channel.

This was Gwi-gok’s competitive edge.

The broadcast began in earnest.

Beyond monsters revealing their true forms in the ruined city of Wuhan.

People held their breath.

└ My God!

└ …It’s not just one?

└ There are too many.

└ What, what is that? Just how many are there?

└ Are those all Beyond?

└ Ugh, look at the sky.

└ …Shit!

└ Things like that were in Wuhan?

It was truly overwhelming.

As the intruders broke in, various mutant dragons endlessly poured out from the mist.

The viewers were shocked.

They had heard rumors that there was something in Wuhan, but they never imagined this.

Weren’t Beyond the kind of monsters that could destroy an entire nation with just one appearance?

└ Haah, curses come out naturally.

└ Can they catch them?

└ The title says raid. They must be filming because they think they can catch them.

└ Hmm….

But the viewers’ concerns were short-lived.

The Beyond were deleted as soon as they appeared.

Pasasasak!

Thud thud thud thud!

The Swordsman’s invisible sword cut the flying Beyond monsters in half.

They were torn to pieces before falling to the ground.

└ Phew, thank goodness.

└ I believed in them!

└ As expected of Master Dongbin. He turned Wuhan upside down.

└ Hehe, there was a reason I didn’t leave the channel.

└ So refreshing.

Jecheon Daeseong was the same.

As the lengthened and thickened Ruyi Staff fell from above to below.

Crack!

The ground Beyond monster was flattened in one hit.

└ Yes! This is it!

└ Wow! I’m the winner watching Jecheon Daeseong’s battle in real time.

└ The energy barrier is just like a vinyl greenhouse.

└ Kekeke, who can withstand the Ruyi Staff?

Then.

└ Wait! Who is that person over there?

└ Hm? You’re right. There was someone else.

└ He looks familiar. I’ve seen him somewhere.

└ Who was it… He looks young.

└ Hidden weapons! He’s throwing hidden weapons.

└ Could it be?

└ …Chairman Kim Tae-ju?

Tae-ju was also dealing with the Beyond monsters.

Wooooooo….

Various hidden weapons that emerged from the Infinite Space created dark clouds.

He had decided to give his all from the start.

Taking them lightly would be disastrous.

These were on a different level from the mindless monsters from another world he had faced in the Sahara Grassland.

The monsters from another world had no intelligence and acted only on destructive instinct, so he just had to overpower them with force.

In contrast, the Beyond monsters here had intelligence.

They were even extremely clever.

There were commanding ones, and they cooperated with each other.

Also, the energy barriers.

Because of this, they could withstand Manceon Hwau’s hidden weapon attacks about once.

It was the same now.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

A torrential rain of hidden weapons falling like a tropical rainforest squall.

They pierced precisely into the Beyond monsters’ bodies.

However, they didn’t run away.

“Kyaaaak!”

One attacking from the sky.

Whoooosh!

One surging up from underground.

“Kreung!”

One that allowed the hidden weapons to hit and still rushed close to Tae-ju.

Tschpapapat!

One shooting scales, claws, and thorns from a distance.

Standing still and casting Manceon Hwau could be dangerous.

He had to keep moving constantly.

The martial arts Tae-ju had acquired through his soul connection with Danggumak were magnificently displayed in the ruined city of Wuhan.

Manceon Hwau cast based on the Toxic Spirit of Honweonmusangdokryeongong was basic.

Bipokilseom, Hwanyeongmiribo, Pyoholjilpungbo, Geumjeongsinbeop, Hyeolinokjang, Talbaekji, Padoksu, Amhyangchuhon, Hyeoljeop….

Various martial arts techniques continued endlessly.

It was entertaining to watch.

It was dazzling enough to hurt the eyes.

If the Toxic Spirit’s energy ran out….

It didn’t matter.

He had allies.

The Swordsman’s invisible sword occasionally helped out, and the clones dispatched by Jecheon Daeseong lingered near Tae-ju, preparing for any emergency.

Gwi-gok wasn’t idle either.

He laid down a formation on the ground and stood within it, sending his immortal energy to Tae-ju.

It was reassuring.

Three reliable allies.

He was confident no matter what came out from inside there.

Pip pip pip pit! Pit pit pit pit!

Flowers of hidden weapons gently fell.

How many Beyond could avoid them?

Beyond corpses scattered everywhere.

Jecheon Daeseong’s clones began their work.

They formed groups of three to five and started extracting mana crystals from the dead Beyond bodies, piling them up in one corner.

Mountains of Beyond crystals were built high and higher.

* * *

The eastern sea of the Human Realm in Gangho Murim.

The Dragon Palace located in the deep ocean depths.

General Baek-gyeong the Whale reported to the Dragon King, who was filled with worry.

“Three have gone.”

“They really crossed over?”

“Yes.”

“Swordsman, Gwi-gok, Jecheon Daeseong… I heard Yama crossed over but returned.”

“Hehe.”

Dok-seon’s boastful claim that the Dragon Orb wasn’t needed wasn’t a lie.

With 3 fake Dragon Orbs, 3 people, no, even more can cross over.

The problem is that there aren’t just 3 of those fakes.

They said there are thousands of demons in that other world they crossed to, Earth.

All of them carrying fake Dragon Orbs.

‘There’s no need for the real Dragon Orb anymore.’

What should I do?

I tried to raise the Dragon Orb’s value, but it ended up becoming worthless.

That’s why the Dragon Palace Administrators also have gloomy expressions.

“Can’t we go to the Immortal Realm anymore?”

“Sigh, I’m dying to know how the drama I was watching ends.”

“Cold beer and chicken too.”

“They said if we just connect to the network, we could use smartphones even in the Dragon Palace…”

The Dragon King feels the same way.

Now the Immortal Realm isn’t a boring prison anymore.

It’s become a hot place in the upper realm that everyone wants to visit.

No wonder Hwangcheon-gye, Cheon-gye, and Hwansu Realm are all going crazy trying to get there.

The only place left out is the Dragon Palace – at this rate, we’ll inevitably fall into outcast status.

“General Baek-gyeong.”

“Yes.”

“Do you have any Immortal you’re in contact with in the Immortal Realm?”

“I do. I get along quite well with Ju-seon.”

“Right, your nickname was the drinking whale.”

“…”

“I have a favor to ask. I’ll attach Hwang-ryong to you, so ascend together and go to Cheon-gye.”

Is there only one dragon in the Dragon Palace?

There are several.

“Go there and secretly meet with Ju-seon to make contact with Dok-seon. We need to sell off the Dragon Orb before its value drops any further.”

“Will he come over?”

“That depends on your capabilities.”

“Phew, I’ll do my best.”

I should have played hard-to-get in moderation.

It’s regrettable, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

I need to fix this right now.
