Chapter 801.
“Damn you!”
Yong Hoe immediately unleashed a torrential spiral of Wind Cloud Divine Energy at Bu Eunseol.
Since it consumed all directions of heaven and earth, there was no way to evade it.
Crash!
Bu Eunseol swiftly wielded the Muk Hon Sword to deploy a defensive formation, but lacking sufficient inner power, no sword barrier materialized.
Ultimately, the Wind Cloud Divine Energy that burrowed through the gaps in her blade created streams of blood across Bu Eunseol’s body.
Splurt! Splurt!
Bu Eunseol moved rapidly while Yong Hoe, standing in place, continuously unleashed Wind Cloud Divine Energy.
Yet Yong Hoe’s expression, which had been leisurely in his assault, gradually hardened.
At every critical moment, Bu Eunseol’s form would fade and shimmer, evading the Wind Cloud Divine Energy.
“What a peculiar technique. You’re like a vermin.”
Wind Cloud Divine Energy was an intangible force against which physical strength proved useless, shot forth at such incredible speed it was invisible to the eye.
Moreover, through the wind one could discern an opponent’s movements in advance, making evasion nearly impossible.
Yet here was Bu Eunseol, somehow evading and blocking the Wind Cloud Divine Energy with nothing but a single blade.
Enraged, Yong Hoe concealed lethal, razor-sharp attacks within the tempestuous winds, piercing and slashing at Bu Eunseol dozens of times.
But those attacks failed to penetrate her body, only tearing her skin before dissipating.
‘Is this woman a ghost?’
As Bu Eunseol stubbornly endured through her strange techniques, Yong Hoe’s eyes flashed with intensity.
“Let’s see if you can withstand this!”
Whoosh.
Yong Hoe rose several feet into the air,
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of strands of wind began pouring down like rain toward Bu Eunseol.
He was unleashing Wind Cloud Divine Energy like arrows, preventing Bu Eunseol from mounting any counterattack.
‘Wind Cloud Divine Energy.’
As Bu Eunseol pressed forward against the cascading Wind Cloud Divine Energy, a strange feeling arose within her.
Something was wrong with Yong Hoe’s Wind Cloud Divine Energy.
She couldn’t discern the reason why.
Yet she instinctively sensed that he was not wielding true Wind Cloud Divine Energy.
‘It’s as though he hasn’t integrated it with his true essence.’
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Even lost in deep contemplation,
Bu Eunseol could swiftly evade Yong Hoe’s attacks.
The incoming Wind Cloud Divine Energy seemed to expand her awareness instead, substituting for the feral senses she had lost.
“Damn you!”
Yong Hoe, his fury mounting,
descended back to the ground and wielded his blade frantically, unleashing torrents of Wind Cloud Divine Energy.
The formidable power of the Wind Divine forced Bu Eunseol’s movements to falter, propelling her in the direction Yong Hoe desired.
Furthermore, Yong Hoe vanished into the wind itself, repositioning in an instant to unleash attacks from her blind spot.
Yet at every critical moment, Bu Eunseol slipped free from the grasp of Yong Hoe’s Wind Divine technique.
More than that—she was using the torrential force itself to evade, wasn’t she?
‘Utterly unpredictable.’
Only now did Yong Hoe understand why the leaders of Sam Gye sang Bu Eunseol’s praises so fervently.
And why they feared her so deeply.
She grew stronger even as they fought, wielding methods and abilities that defied all prediction.
“Impressive, certainly.”
Yong Hoe’s eyes flashed as his fists clenched tight.
“But that alone won’t suffice!”
Evasion would prove futile if he persisted.
If he swept away the very space she could flee to, the matter would be settled.
A whistling sound erupted as a colossal vortex of wind gathered above Yong Hoe’s head.
It was as though the Wind Divine itself had seized the currents scattered across the world, concentrating them into a force capable of annihilating all things.
Crash!
In an instant, the wind had taken the form of a massive white dragon and white tiger.
He unleashed the Wind Divine technique at its zenith, intent on obliterating the space where Bu Eunseol stood in a single breath.
“Vanish!”
The Wind Divine’s power knew no distance.
The moment Yong Hoe’s thunderous command tore free, a devastating wave of wind engulfed Bu Eunseol instantly.
Roar!
The Wind Divine technique—unpredictable, infused with nature’s raw fury.
It became tens of millions of wind blades, tearing the earth asunder and reducing even the Great Training Arena to dust.
As the tempest capable of sweeping away the world itself gradually dispersed in all directions,
Whoosh.
The wind faded, and where the Training Arena had stood lay nothing but barren, empty ground.
In that moment, Hyuk So Jin and Jegal Seowoon’s eyes widened in shock.
Bu Eunseol had vanished without a trace.
“Bu Brother!”
“Hahahaha!”
As Bu Eunseol disappeared entirely, Yong Hoe burst into triumphant laughter.
“In the end, she’s been reduced to dust and scattered.”
In that instant, Jegal Seowoon’s eyes—which had been watching the battle with an expressionless gaze—trembled faintly at the corners.
The Wind Divine technique Yong Hoe had just unleashed possessed a power that transcended the bounds of martial arts entirely.
The Four Divine Energies.
This mystical force, passed down through generations of the Murim, was such that merely possessing it was equivalent to achieving the realm of the Extreme Heavenly stage or beyond.
“Hmph.”
Yong Hoe, his face adorned with a satisfied smile, turned his gaze toward Hyuk So Jin and Jegal Seowoon and spoke coldly.
“I’ll dispose of you two just as swiftly.”
Murmur, murmur.
Yet something was strange.
Far below, every disciple of the Wind Divine Palace stood with their mouths agape, staring into the void.
“What is it? What are they looking at?”
Yong Hoe followed their gaze and lifted his head.
“…!”
His mouth fell open as his eyes widened in shock.
Bu Eunseol was hovering dozens of lengths above the ground, looking down at him.
Bu Eunseol, suspended in the void,
wore a dazed expression as she gazed downward.
‘What is this?’
Surrounding her body was
the Wind Cloud Divine Technique that Yong Hoe had unleashed.
‘Why do I have the Wind Cloud Divine Technique on my body?’
In that instant, Bu Eunseol’s mind flashed with
the form of wind carved into the passages of the Pung Shin Haeng Ro, and the whispers contained within.
“The Wind Cloud Divine Technique possesses the perfect form of nature, so no one can detect its presence….”
Whoosh.
The moment I unconsciously recited the dharma absorbed into my mind, my form became transparent in an instant.
“And it can allow any force to pass through….”
Rumble.
The winds of the Wind Cloud Divine Technique surrounding my body swept past me in an instant, disappearing into the distant sky.
“Becoming a blade that can sever the principles of all things in creation.”
Bu Eunseol gently drew her hand downward.
Screeeech!
A single line slashed through heaven and earth, splitting the ground in two.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The earth, split cleanly as if by a blade, stopped precisely at Yong Hoe’s feet.
“So that’s it.”
I understood why the Pung Shin Haeng Ro—the “Path Where the Wind Divine Walks”—was named as such in a place where toxins accumulated.
And why the mysterious wind blew there.
That place was a secret refuge where one could accept the Wind Cloud Divine Technique and become the next Wind Divine,
transforming one’s body into a Wind Spirit Form.
‘Wielding the Wind Cloud Divine Technique required immense inner power.’
Just now, by manifesting a single sword wind that split the earth, I had instantly consumed all the inner power remaining in my body.
To freely employ such techniques, one would need to reach a state where inner power was infinite and inexhaustible.
But since cultivation methods and spiritual elixirs alone had limits in enhancing inner power,
the previous Wind Divines had ultimately used toxins to unlock the secret of obtaining tremendous inner power.
‘I want to come back down.’
I gazed awkwardly at my suspended form.
I had obtained the Wind Cloud Divine Technique through the Pung Shin Haeng Ro,
but the dharma on how to use it
It was because the technique had been injected into the realm of the unconscious while passing through the Pung Shin Haeng Ro Gate.
I couldn’t use it immediately just because I desired to.
“How dare you!”
At that moment, Yong Hoe spread the Wind Cloud Divine Technique around his body.
Roooooar!
Then, with a monstrous sound that shook heaven and earth, a sharp whirlwind enveloped Bu Eunseol’s form.
‘Ah, so that’s how it works.’
Witnessing Yong Hoe’s movements, Bu Eunseol instantly grasped the method of wielding the Wind Cloud Divine Technique.
‘Not by controlling the Wind Cloud Divine Technique within my body, but through the wind existing outside.’
Whoosh.
As I descended back to the ground, a mysterious wind caressed my form.
I was wrapping myself in the Wind Cloud Divine Technique that Yong Hoe had just unleashed.
“How is this possible!”
Yong Hoe, realizing that Bu Eunseol had obtained the Wind Cloud Divine Technique, cried out to Hyang Elder.
“What is the meaning of this? Why does that wretch possess the Wind Cloud Divine Technique!”
Hyang Elder, equally bewildered, shook both hands in denial.
“The secret techniques of this palace have never been exposed to the outside world.”
“You lie! So her coming to the Chosung Tournament was part of such a scheme!”
Yong Hoe misunderstood, believing that Hyang Elder had deliberately summoned Bu Eunseol to sabotage their plans.
“The Pung Shin Haeng Ro.”
At that moment, Bu Eunseol spoke.
“The place you all thought was a death trap and forced me into. That was where the Wind Cloud Divine Technique could be obtained.”
“That’s impossible.”
“Any disciple of Wind Divine Palace would know this.”
Then Yong Hoe glared at Hyang Elder and spoke.
“Is this true?”
“Such a legend exists, but over a hundred years ago, it already….”
“Perhaps this is fortunate.”
Yong Hoe, contemplating something, clenched his teeth tightly.
“If there is a secret to obtaining the Wind Cloud Divine Technique in that place, then I have achieved the greatest merit in the Ben Gye.”
“That will not come to pass.”
Bu Eunseol spoke calmly.
“You will die here.”
Whoooosh.
At the same moment, Bu Eunseol employed one of the dharmic principles inscribed upon the Pung Shin Haeng Ro.
The Seizing Wind and Clarifying Qi, the Wind Seizing Purification technique.
Crackle crackle crackle.
Then the Wind Cloud Divine Technique within Yong Hoe’s body began to be rapidly absorbed by Bu Eunseol.
He had merely obtained the Wind Cloud Divine Technique through the mysteries of the Sun-Moon Harmony, without possessing the body of a Wind Divine being.
But Bu Eunseol, through the Pung Shin Haeng Ro, had transcended the Wind Spirit Body.
Without the Pung Shin Divine Energy, I had become the Wind God itself, capable of commanding the winds…
The Pung Shin Divine Energy that Yong Hoe had obtained naturally began returning to its original master’s body.
Whoosh! Kaaaaaa!
In that instant, blood vessels erupted from Bu Eunseol’s body, and in a flash, white energy soared toward the Distant Sky.
As the Pung Shin Divine Energy finally entered my body…the relentless erosion that had been consuming me vanished in an instant.
Crack.
Simultaneously, sensation and inner power throughout my body began to recover.
With a tearing sound, my skin split slightly, and brilliant white light began flowing forth.
Upon reaching the Mujik Gyeong realm, one obtains a body transcending the laws of heaven and earth.
Yet Bu Eunseol’s body was not one that had previously appeared in the Murim, nor one that had been named.
As the Three Divine Energies harmonized within my body, I underwent a metamorphosis into an entirely new form never before seen.
Boom. Boooom.
As Bu Eunseol extended her fingers, an eerie sound of air splitting echoed forth, raising every hair on end.
Screech. Shiiiiek.
In that moment, a sound like grinding metal reverberated,
Boooom!
A violent gale swept behind Yong Hoe and Hyang Elder.
Thud. Boom. Boom.
Simultaneously, the sound of massive trees crashing down echoed in succession.
As Yong Hoe turned to look behind him,
The elite forces of Sam Gye that had been lined up were all lying with their throats severed, were they not?
It was not that they had been blown away by the Pung Shin Divine Energy in one breath.
Rather, sharp wind blades had been generated beneath each of the Masked Assassins’ feet, severing their throats.
Crunch crunch crunch.
With the sound of bone, he turned his head, his eyes widening in utter disbelief.
The Masked Assassins he had brought possessed bodies as hard as diamond through a special technique.
Yet to sever all their throats in a single move? How could such a thing be possible?
Gulp.
Yong Hoe swallowed hard.
Until now, as Mu Sim Young of Gwi Il Gye, he had accomplished countless deeds and assassinated numerous masters.
But he could say with certainty that there was no one in the Murim capable of unleashing wind with such devastating power.
“Hyang Elder.”
Yong Hoe cried out as if remembering something.
“Summon your disciples!”
Although the sect’s influence had waned without the Wind God,
It remained a great faction with a scale three to four times greater than the finest martial sects of Zhong Yuan.
He pointed at Bu Eunseol and shouted loudly.
“Kill her at once!”
In any case, since Yong Hoe had been betrothed to So Gung Ju, he had become the Great Lord of Poong Sin Palace.
If Bu Eunseol intended to kill him?
I had to block it with my life on the line.
‘There was no other choice.’
Hyang Elder, her lips trembling, cried out loudly.
“All disciples of this palace, hear me!”
She pointed at Bu Eunseol and declared in a thunderous voice.
“This woman has unlawfully stolen the power of the Great Master! She must be executed without fail!”
At that moment, white shadows surged from the distant sky as disciples of Poong Sin Palace poured forth, beginning to encircle Bu Eunseol.
Once the order was given, they had no choice but to fight for their lives.
In the end, because of that treacherous Yong Hoe and Hyang Elder, I was forced to strike down the innocent disciples of Poong Sin Palace.
“Haah!”
Just as the disciples bravely rushed toward Bu Eunseol,
Click.
Suddenly, the mechanism of the Great Training Arena moved once more,
Whoooosh!
A colossal gust of wind swept through, sending dust swirling in all directions.
At the same time, a spherical orb spun rapidly, pushing back the charging disciples,
Gently.
A woman wearing a blood-stained outer robe descended slowly from the sky.
Could it be that Unknown Beauty whom Bu Eunseol had seen sleeping within the crystal chamber at the final mechanism of Pung Shin Haeng Ro?
“What is that?”
Hyang Elder’s eyes widened in shock.
“Hae Yeon, Palace Lord?”
Remarkably, she was the master whom Hyang Elder had served in her childhood.
She was Hae Yeon, the Palace Lord from two generations prior, who had vanished after entering Pung Shin Haeng Ro.
“So you… have become a soldier.”
When Hae Yeon spoke with the exact same tone and expression as before, Hyang Elder’s mouth fell open.
‘It was real.’
Nearly a hundred years had passed since Hae Yeon, Palace Lord, had disappeared.
Yet how could she possess the appearance of her twenty-year-old self?
“Palace Lord.”
Hyang Elder asked in astonishment.
“How is this possible?”
“Are you having the disciples attack this Palace Lord?”
At Hae Yeon’s words, Hyang Elder cried out loudly to the disciples holding their weapons.
“All of you, lower your weapons. This is Hae Yeon, the forty-sixth Palace Lord!”
The disciples stood with dazed expressions.
How could a Palace Lord from two generations ago appear in the form of a twenty-year-old girl?
The disciples stood motionless like statues, too shocked to move.
“Foolish creatures. You still have your weapons raised.”
Hae Yeon waved her hand lightly.
Whoosh! Crack crack crack!
The weapons held by over a hundred disciples all planted themselves into the ground.
It was truly a remarkable display of the Wind Divine technique.
“Gung Byeong. Why do you conspire with outsiders and commit such vicious acts?”
To Hae Yeon’s question, which grasped the entire situation, Hyang Elder answered in panic.
“After the Palace Lord entered Pung Shin Haeng Ro, the lineage of the Wind Divine technique in our palace was completely severed, was it not?”
At those words, Hae Yeon shook her head with a sorrowful expression.
“Did the previous Palace Master have any other choice at that time?”
Back then, the Lord and Lady of Wind Divine Palace had suddenly met mysterious deaths, and the young So Gung Ju Hae Yeon ascended to the position of Palace Lord.
She could not inherit the Wind Divine technique from the previous Palace Master, and with the lineage of Wind Spirit Body severed, Hae Yeon had no choice but to attempt Pung Shin Haeng Ro.
However, she ultimately could not breakthrough Pung Shin Haeng Ro, and all the disciples who entered to rescue her were slaughtered.
Wind Divine Palace deployed massive forces to enter Pung Shin Haeng Ro, but instead mistakenly activated the mechanism.
Sealing the exit forever.
The only way to enter that place was through the secret mechanism in the Secret Cave.
Several senior members gathered their courage and entered once more, but again met tragic deaths.
In the end, Wind Divine Palace had no choice but to completely seal off Pung Shin Haeng Ro.
“It was all for our palace!”
Hyang Elder pointed at Bu Eunseol as if wronged.
“The previous Palace Master was brutally killed by that vicious Demonic Path’s greatest master, Sa Do Moo Myung. And this person is his disciple.”
“You mean this person is from the Demonic Path?”
“Yes.”
Hae Yeon furrowed her brow as she gazed at Bu Eunseol.
“Her inner power is very complex, and she possesses various energies within her body, yet her spirit has not entered the Demonic Path.”
And she tilted her head in confusion.
“Moreover, a disciple of the Demonic Path’s greatest master is a poison expert? Then is that Ma Cheon Je a master of poison mastery?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“He saved our Palace Lord. By absorbing all the poison within her body.”
‘So that’s what happened.’
Bu Eunseol nodded faintly as she listened to her words.
She had thought her heart had stopped and she died after desperately drawing out the poison.
Fortunately, her pulse returned, and she had come back as a perfect Wind Divine being.
Shuffle. Shuffle.
As the situation took a strange turn, Yong Hoe quietly began to slip away.
Screech!
Then, with the sound of the earth being torn apart,
“Aaahhh!”
Yong Hoe let out a tragic scream.
Bu Eunseol had already unleashed the light wind from the Wind Divine technique, severing both of his leg tendons.
“This person not only disturbed Wind Divine Palace, but is also a lackey of the vicious forces that disturb the Murim.”
Hae Yeon had been trapped in a meditation chamber for a hundred years due to poison.
Bu Eunseol, grasping the situation involving the previous Wind Divine Palace Master, spoke.
“And Hyang Elder has joined hands with the vile force known as Sam Gye. Investigation will reveal the truth.”
Hyang Elder screamed as if coughing blood.
“Yes, that’s right! But all of that is because of your master, Sa Do Moo Myung! He murdered our Palace Lord and the Grand Prince!”
Hae Yeon’s eyes narrowed.
“Is that true?”
“I don’t know if Ma Cheon Je harmed the previous Palace Master. To be precise, we don’t even have a master-disciple relationship.”
Bu Eunseol spoke with confidence.
“But I am the successor to the Demon Hall, which leads the Baek Man Ma Do. If I must bear that responsibility, then naturally I shall.”
“You speak so easily! What exactly do you intend to take responsibility for?”
Hyang Elder, who had been shouting, faltered.
Suddenly, a mysterious radiance bloomed from Bu Eunseol’s eyes.
Merely meeting that gaze caused her heart to clench and race wildly of its own accord.
A chilling sensation as if her entire body were submerged in ice water flowed down her spine.
‘What… what is this?’
Hyang Elder’s breath caught.
Bu Eunseol’s gaze penetrated deep within, as if tearing something from the very marrow of her bones.
“I would offer even my life.”
“What did you say?”
Bu Eunseol spoke calmly.
“From this moment forward, let us examine the facts clearly. If Ma Cheon Je truly killed the Palace Lord, then I shall take responsibility.”
Even Hyuk So Jin was startled upon hearing this and tried to stop Bu Eunseol.
“Bu Brother.”
No matter that Bu Eunseol was the successor to the Demon Hall, she and Ma Cheon Je were fundamentally adversarial.
So why would she suddenly stand for him?
Why would she offer her very life to prove his innocence?
