Chapter 111. Huh? Huh huh!

 

 

Shwooooosh.

With a sharp sound of cutting through air, the iron orb of Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder flew toward Sam Ryeong-ju.

Sam Ryeong-ju tried desperately to dodge, but the iron orb was fast.

The iron orb approached Sam Ryeong-ju in an instant.

Sam Ryeong-ju tried somehow to twist his body to avoid it, but the iron orb struck his sword directly.

At that moment.

KWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAAAAAAAANG!!!

With a truly enormous explosion sound, it caused a massive blast.

Sam Ryeong-ju was instantly swallowed by the flames of the explosion.

Up to this point, it was similar to when Ha Mu-baek was hit.

The only difference was that Ha Mu-baek had endured a little longer.

Sam Ryeong-ju also raised his demonic energy to the extreme the moment flames erupted, covering his entire body with Protective Demonic Energy.

Ha Mu-baek saw this clearly.

“That’s not something a bastard like you can withstand. You little shit.”

Chuckling, Ha Mu-baek collapsed flat on his back.

Thud.

He dropped the Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder beside him.

A furiously raging flame dragon ascended to the sky.

Sam Ryeong-ju was completely consumed within those flames.

Gongsun Mu-oe and Gongsun Hwa-gyeong, Gung Mu-hyeok and Gung So-yu stared blankly at the scene.

Ha Mu-baek seemed completely exhausted, just lying with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing.

However, his expression wasn’t comfortable.

His face was deeply furrowed.

But everyone failed to notice this fact.

What was capturing everyone else’s attention right now was the flame dragon.

“So that’s how it is…”

Gung Mu-hyeok muttered quietly.

He had completed it and used it exactly once. As a test firing.

The power beyond imagination made him end it with just one test. And he didn’t make any more after finishing the first few production items.

He had even stored the blueprints separately using his own methods.

Such was this hidden weapon.

The Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder.

Today he had seen its power twice.

Even for himself who created it, this was the first time seeing it used in actual combat.

The power was incomparable to the test firing.

Tremendous power that exceeded expectations.

Though it was the same item, using it against enemies in actual combat was completely different from using it in empty midair.

This was a hidden weapon that should never have come into the world.

No, it wasn’t even at the level of a hidden weapon. It only resembled hidden weapons in size, but this was a demonic weapon.

Released into the world by his own hands.

Gung Mu-hyeok’s face hardened stiffly.

The dragon’s ascension came to an end.

Whoooosh.

The remaining flames burned in midair before dying out.

There was nothing left.

The separate building where they had originally stayed had long since disappeared without a trace.

The ground had turned into ruins so thoroughly that it was miraculous the adjacent inn building remained intact.

It was the horrific scene created by ten Ten Thousand Heaven Blood Thunder and two Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder.

Perhaps it was thanks to finding an inn where the main building and separate building were as far apart as possible for security.

That only the area around the separate building had turned into such ruins amid the tremendous explosion was nothing short of a miracle.

“Hah… haha. Haha…”

Gongsun Mu-oe let out a hollow laugh at the scene spread before his eyes.

Because what he had experienced during the past hour or so didn’t feel real.

Thud.

Then something fell from midair.

A black leather shoe.

Probably what that person called Sam Ryeong-ju had been wearing.

He thought it remarkable that it had survived and fallen without being destroyed in that tremendous explosion.

No, he was terrified of flames that could completely annihilate a person without a trace, leaving only that behind.

The emotion of fear began to settle on Gongsun Mu-oe’s empty face.

Tap. Tap tap.

Then came the sound of footsteps.

“What in the world happened here?”

Wi Ji-gun asked with a bewildered face, looking at Ha Mu-baek lying flat on the ground.

When he was contemplating whether to leave Gyoryong Hall according to Han Seol-bing’s opinion.

He saw a flame dragon piercing through the pitch-black night sky and ascending to heaven.

Because it looked dangerous, Wi Ji-gun stopped his steps that were leaving Gyoryong Hall.

Because even Han Seol-bing said it was flames she had never seen before.

Hadn’t she said it was absolutely impossible to create with Ten Thousand Heaven Blood Thunder?

Even as his disciple’s presence rapidly weakened, Wi Ji-gun had to trust and wait.

Because another disciple was with him.

And when the second dragon ascended to the sky, confirming that the enemies’ presence had completely disappeared, he hurried to this place.

Ha Seol-ran was still staying at her quarters with Han Seol-bing.

“The demonic cult bastards brought an impossible item. *Cough*.”

Ha Mu-baek, who was barely managing to sit up to answer at the sight of his master, coughed up blood.

What he had been suppressing until now finally burst out.

Even in the last war, he had never suffered such severe internal injuries.

“Phew. How embarrassing. I got properly beaten. *Urgh*.”

Ha Mu-baek coughed up blood once more.

Startled, Wi Ji-gun placed his palm on Ha Mu-baek’s back and channeled his internal energy.

“You fool!”

After a moment, Wi Ji-gun looked at Ha Mu-baek with a greatly alarmed expression and shouted.

“No, no. Let’s treat you first. Concentrate.”

Ha Mu-baek silently followed his master’s instructions.

The two master and disciple had already assumed cross-legged sitting positions.

Guardian or whatever, there was no time to think about such things.

In Wi Ji-gun’s view, Ha Mu-baek was that critically injured.

Wi Ji-gun’s internal energy moved carefully along Ha Mu-baek’s blood meridians.

And he began treatment with the Healing Formula of the Mugeuk Yeoui Heart Method at every damaged area.

There wasn’t a single intact place.

How had he fought until now in such a condition?

‘I should have come sooner.’

Such regret settled in a corner of Wi Ji-gun’s heart.

People began to cautiously emerge from here and there.

A full two hours had passed.

For two hours in the middle of Muchang, people had died and explosions had occurred.

Now that all of it had disappeared, people who had been trembling in fear were coming out to look, driven by curiosity.

It was an awkward moment, but there was no choice.

Right now, Ha Mu-baek had no leisure to move locations.

‘You bastard. What on earth were you thinking to go this far…’

Wi Ji-gun was frustrated but couldn’t make a sound.

If he did, not only himself but Ha Mu-baek would be in danger too.

It was that critical a moment.

“Oh, Elder Brother!!”

Then a familiar voice was heard – it was Ha Seol-ran.

He had clearly told her to stay quietly at Gyoryong Hall before leaving, yet she had come here.

He wanted to scold her immediately, but couldn’t in this situation.

He had even closed his eyes so he couldn’t see, but just from hearing her voice, he could tell.

She would be a mess of tears and snot.

“Stop! You can’t go near him!”

Han Seol-bing’s sharp voice was also heard, urgently blocking Ha Seol-ran.

What on earth was all this about?

Ha Seol-ran had cried and pleaded that she had a bad feeling, that something seemed to have happened to Elder Brother, and begged to go see.

She had been like that right after Wi Ji-gun left Gyoryong Hall.

Though she was told no, there was no way to stop Ha Seol-ran who said she would go alone if necessary.

She could have used a stunning technique, but seeing Ha Seol-ran’s desperate face, she simply couldn’t bring herself to do it.

So they had come together.

And the scene unfolding before their eyes.

Was that person sitting cross-legged and doing circulation meditation with Elder Wi Ji-gun’s help really Ha Mu-baek?

As far as Han Seol-bing could remember, that monster-like Dan-ju had shown such a state only a handful of times.

And that was only in the early stages of the war – she had never seen such a sight since the mid-war period when he became monstrously strong.

But what was this wretched state now?

She had barely managed to stop Ha Seol-ran, who knew nothing and was shocked, from running to Ha Mu-baek.

Right now, Ha Mu-baek was in a precarious situation.

The slightest mistake could lead him to fall into qi deviation.

Murmuring sounds could be heard from all directions.

Han Seol-bing quickly scanned the surroundings.

Though it was deep night, past midnight and approaching the hour of the ox, people were gradually approaching these ruins.

It was natural.

Such tremendous chaos had occurred that it could be noticed even from Gyoryong Hall.

Anyone with strong curiosity could overcome their fear and come to see.

The only problem was that people couldn’t gather here right now.

Ha Mu-baek was facing a life-or-death moment.

“There’s no choice.”

Han Seol-bing took out iron rods from her bosom and scattered them around Ha Mu-baek and the group.

Thud thud thud.

The iron rods embedded in the ground, occupying specific positions.

Gradually, cold frost mist began to rise around them.

Han Seol-bing had deployed a formation technique around the area.

“Formation deployment.”

With Han Seol-bing’s quiet words, the surroundings were completely enveloped in frost mist.

The Ice Soul Gate Lock Formation had been deployed.

Now those who came out of curiosity about what had happened here would just wander around the perimeter before returning.

The space within the perfectly blocked formation technique.

Wi Ji-gun felt the surrounding space become quiet and focused even more on treating Ha Mu-baek’s internal injuries.

The people who had gathered were startled by the frost mist that suddenly rose around them and hurried to disperse and return.

Thus, another two hours passed.

In that time, Ha Seol-ran had calmed down considerably but was still shedding tears.

Gongsun Mu-oe finished treating his internal injuries and got up to examine Gongsun Hwa-gyeong and Gung Mu-hyeok’s conditions.

Now everyone was looking at Ha Mu-baek and Wi Ji-gun.

The two still showed no change.

Everyone watched the two with anxious hearts.

Eventually, white qi energy began to slowly flow from Ha Mu-baek’s body and wrapped around his entire form.

When Ha Mu-baek was completely buried and disappeared in the white energy.

“Whew.”

Wi Ji-gun rose with a deep sigh.

“Ma, Master!!”

Ha Seol-ran threw herself into Wi Ji-gun’s arms and burst into tears.

The emotions she had been suppressing all this time exploded out.

“You brat. I told you not to come. Still, thanks to you coming, it was a great help.”

Wi Ji-gun said, looking at Han Seol-bing.

“Instructor Han. Thank you so much. Thanks to you, we overcame the crisis. It seems he’s broken through the wall too.”

At those words, Han Seol-bing’s eyes widened.

Broken through the wall?

Who?

That monster who was on the verge of qi deviation just moments ago?

That monster broke through the wall?

There was still room for him to become stronger?

Hah.

How could the world be so unfair…

Such thoughts suddenly flashed through one corner of Han Seol-bing’s mind.

“Is, is Elder Brother alright?”

Ha Seol-ran asked with a face full of worry, sniffling.

“You brat. Have you cried enough now? You can stop crying now. Mu-baek is fine. No, he’ll become even more amazing than before.”

Wi Ji-gun said with a benevolent smile.

“However… I don’t know when that guy will regain consciousness.”

Currently, this place was within the Ice Soul Gate Lock Formation deployed by Han Seol-bing.

The current time was late in the hour of the tiger.

Though dawn was much delayed and darkness still filled the surroundings, the eastern sky would soon brighten.

The frost mist of the Ice Soul Gate Lock Formation was fine in the darkness, but once day broke, people would obviously flock here.

The inn’s separate building had disappeared without a trace overnight, turning into ruins, and such frost mist had appeared in its place.

How could they not be curious?

“It doesn’t matter. No matter how many people gather, there won’t be anyone who can break the formation technique. After Dan-ju wakes up, we can just mix in with the crowd and dispel the formation then.”

Han Seol-bing answered with a shrug.

“Then now we just need to wait for that guy to open his eyes.”

Wi Ji-gun found a suitable spot and plopped down.

Since everything had been completely turned to ruins, there was nothing to sit on, so he just sat on the ground.

Time continued to flow.

Darkness retreated starting from the eastern sky as day broke.

People gathered in small groups.

It didn’t take much time for many people to gather, murmuring among themselves.

The sun moved along its destined path.

Before long, it hung in mid-heaven.

Ha Mu-baek remained motionless until noon.

People continued to gather around the formation.

Some watched for a while before leaving, while others still couldn’t bring themselves to depart.

“What in the world is all this about?”

“You’re telling me. Last night there was thunder so loud it seemed like the sky would collapse, and a fire dragon ascended to heaven. What’s happening to the world? Tsk.”

The gathered people were each discussing the commotion that had occurred the night before.

The conversations piled up one by one, turning the murmuring into quite a noisy din.

The sound was loud enough to be heard beyond the formation.

Those inside simply gazed endlessly at Ha Mu-baek.

He was still concealed within the white aura.

“How long will it take, Master?”

Ha Seol-ran asked Wi Ji-gun cautiously.

“No one knows. Even Mu-baek himself wouldn’t know. Right now, that boy has probably forgotten the flow of time itself.”

The moment Wi Ji-gun answered thus.

“Huh? Oh!”

Han Seol-bing spotted a change and cried out.

The white aura surrounding Ha Mu-baek was gradually growing fainter.
