Chapter 150. It’s Not Over Yet

 

 

A white hemisphere shining brilliantly.

It was revealed in the place where the blazing flames had disappeared.

Pure white light reflected, making it impossible to see what was inside.

But they could tell.

The beings who had originally been in that place.

Gung Mu-hyeok and Ha Mu-baek.

Since they had disappeared and this hemisphere had appeared in their place.

Gung Do-hyeok and Wi Sang-hyeong widened their eyes.

Both their bodies trembled finely.

Because an unbelievable scene was unfolding before their eyes.

The light of the hemisphere emitting white radiance gradually grew fainter.

And the interior began to become visible little by little.

Ha Mu-baek swinging his arms with a calm face, and Gung Mu-hyeok standing behind him with a dazed expression.

As expected, both men were alive.

No, not just alive – they were perfectly fine.

How could they not have a single hair harmed?

Ha Mu-baek made eye contact with Gung Do-hyeok.

Grin.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ha Mu-baek’s mouth.

The moment he saw that smile, Gung Do-hyeok felt profound terror.

Because it couldn’t be more chilling.

It was instinct.

The moment he saw Ha Mu-baek’s smile, Gung Do-hyeok put his hand into his chest and pulled it out.

His arm stretched straight toward Ha Mu-baek.

He pressed the button with his hand infused with internal energy.

Click.

With the sound, the launch tube of the Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder spat out another iron sphere.

The last one he carried in preparation for any contingency.

That’s what it was.

Just as the iron sphere was about to explode and create a flame storm.

Ha Mu-baek extended his left hand where white Gang Qi was clearly formed.

His left hand stopped the flames in their tracks.

And the Gang Qi extending strand by strand from his hand devoured all the flames.

“Being caught off guard once is enough.”

Even then, if he had made sufficient preparations and defended, he wouldn’t have suffered such a fate.

It was because he was suddenly swept up in the flame storm of the Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder and Ten Thousand Heaven Blood Thunder that he nearly faced death.

He had blocked it with hastily raised Gang Qi without knowing its power.

Now it was different.

He knew its power well enough and had time to prepare.

The result was unfolding before his eyes now.

He spread his Water Gang wide, perfectly containing the flames.

No matter how fiercely the flames blazed within it, that was all.

They couldn’t exert any influence.

“H-how…”

Gung Do-hyeok trembled and muttered.

At such close range, to block the Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder as if it were nothing.

It was an unbelievable divine feat even seeing it with his own eyes.

The faces of the three surviving Five Elders were filled with shock.

The two who had been gasping for breath were caught in the aftermath of the explosion and ultimately met their end.

Wi Sang-hyeong also looked at Ha Mu-baek with an expression of disbelief.

What on earth was that monster?

To be unharmed even from the overlapping explosion of four Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder, and to neutralize one with a single hand.

Was the Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder actually an insignificant weapon?

Such delusions even arose in his mind.

The smile on Ha Mu-baek’s lips grew deeper.

It became that much more chilling.

A terrifying smile.

Just looking at it felt like being dragged into Avici Hell.

It seemed like a demon from hell was baring its teeth and laughing at them.

“I have some debts to collect. Gung Do-hyeok. From you.”

Ha Mu-baek slowly moved his steps.

There was no need to rush now.

Judging by how he had hastily pulled out and fired the Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder from his chest, it seemed the tricks he had prepared were now exhausted.

Step. Step.

Footsteps echoed loudly in the great hall.

The stairs leading up to the high platform where the Grand Master’s Chair was placed.

Ha Mu-baek climbed up step by step without hurrying.

Meanwhile, Gung Do-hyeok’s face turned deathly pale. His entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

His confident appearance from before was nowhere to be found.

Gung Do-hyeok was gradually being consumed by the terror that a monster beyond common sense was coming to kill him.

“You bastard!”

Wi Sang-hyeong was the first to break free from fear.

He drew his sword and launched his body toward Ha Mu-baek.

It was futile resistance.

“Keuak.”

Hit by Ha Mu-baek’s lightly swung fist, he flew away pathetically and screamed.

It was just one blow.

Yet his lower jaw was nearly shattered, his face grotesquely distorted.

“Still, it seems you picked at least one good subordinate.”

Ha Mu-baek glanced briefly at Wi Sang-hyeong and said this as he climbed the stairs again.

Finally.

One ja. (about 30cm)

With that distance between them, Ha Mu-baek faced Gung Do-hyeok.

Gung Do-hyeok didn’t dare make eye contact with Ha Mu-baek.

“How about looking straight at me instead of turning your eyes away?”

Even at Ha Mu-baek’s words, Gung Do-hyeok couldn’t meet his eyes.

“Seeing you with your eyes downcast, it seems you now know your place clearly.”

Ha Mu-baek spoke with a snicker.

“Thanks to you, I nearly died. For the first time in my life, I thought ‘I’m really going to die now.’ Yes, the bastard who shot the Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder at me was that damn Sam Ryeong-ju.”

Anger gradually rose in Ha Mu-baek’s voice as he recalled that time.

That moment still made him angry when he remembered it.

“But if you hadn’t given that Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder to that Sam Ryeong-ju bastard, it wouldn’t have happened.”

His voice was so filled with rage that it was even sinister.

“So I was troubled. What should I do with you? It was probably from when Lord Gung asked if you could come to Manmulryeon together. At that time, I had almost made up my mind to kill you instantly.”

At Ha Mu-baek’s words filled with killing intent, Gung Do-hyeok’s body trembled violently.

“But I changed my mind after coming here.”

At the words that he had changed his mind, a thread-like hope appeared in Gung Do-hyeok’s eyes.

Completely forgetting what he had done to Gung Mu-hyeok and Ha Mu-baek, when faced with the crisis of death, he was only thinking of somehow surviving.

Ha Mu-baek turned his head to look at Gung Mu-hyeok.

Gung Mu-hyeok understood the meaning of that gaze.

“Do as your heart desires.”

He completely entrusted his younger sibling’s punishment to Ha Mu-baek.

Ha Mu-baek nodded.

“Just killing you seemed like too merciful a treatment for you. You’re someone who would overlap four of those demonic weapons to kill your own brother.”

Ha Mu-baek’s right hand, which had sheathed his sword, turned red.

This was a phenomenon caused by concentrating Samadhi True Fire.

The red color of his hand seemed to change to yellow, then turned white, and finally emitted a blue light.

The tremendous heat even distorted the surrounding air.

Gung Do-hyeok was the Vice Ryeon-ju of Manmulryeon.

This meant he knew the basics of blacksmithing work.

That’s why he trembled all over seeing the Samadhi True Fire emitting that blue light.

Because he knew well how scorching hot that heat was.

“Wh-what are you going to do with that…”

Before he could finish his words.

Thud.

Ha Mu-baek thrust that right hand directly into Gung Do-hyeok’s dantian.

“Gaaahhhhh.”

Due to the pain from the tremendous heat, Gung Do-hyeok couldn’t even scream properly.

Just as his eyes rolled back and he was about to faint.

Ha Mu-baek pulled out his right hand and pressed his acupoints with his left hand.

Gung Do-hyeok regained consciousness again.

“It wouldn’t be fun if you fainted so easily. There’s still a lot left.”

Gung Do-hyeok couldn’t hear Ha Mu-baek’s words.

“Gaaahhh. Ahhhhh. Ahh. Ahhh. Ahhh. Ahhhhh.”

Screams of pain burst out without stopping.

It couldn’t be helped.

Ha Mu-baek hadn’t just destroyed his dantian.

He had concentrated Samadhi True Fire to the extreme, using the hottest heat he could create to burn away Gung Do-hyeok’s dantian completely.

The pain from that heat and the pain from his destroyed dantian,

Plus the terrible pain from burns on the charred flesh of his abdomen where Ha Mu-baek’s hand had penetrated.

The acrid smell of burnt flesh even reached his own nose.

Gung Do-hyeok couldn’t maintain his sanity.

“Ahhhhh.”

He didn’t stop screaming.

It was truly pain so severe that just dying would seem more comfortable.

‘Dy-dying would be, better. Yes. Dying would be…’

The moment that thought occurred, Gung Do-hyeok raised his right hand.

He intended to concentrate his internal energy and strike his own head to die.

Ha Mu-baek chuckled.

“Do you think someone without internal energy could die doing that?”

His dantian was destroyed.

This meant all internal energy in his body had disappeared.

Realizing this fact from Ha Mu-baek’s words, Gung Do-hyeok, still screaming, frantically searched his clothes.

He had used the Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder, but Ten Thousand Heaven Blood Thunder still remained.

He had prepared several of those too.

If he bit one in his mouth and fired it, he could die instantly without pain.

That was his only thought.

However, Ha Mu-baek didn’t let him.

Ha Mu-baek’s right hand was still burning bright blue.

Slash.

His fingertips moved lightly.

“Gaaahhhhh!”

Another loud scream burst out.

He had burned and severed the meridians in both shoulders and wrists.

Hideous burns appeared instantly.

“Gaaahhhhh.”

Gung Do-hyeok shook his whole body while screaming.

Since his meridians were severed and he couldn’t move his arms, he could only writhe.

Wi Sang-hyeong squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head away at Gung Do-hyeok’s appearance.

It was a sight he couldn’t bear to watch with open eyes.

The same was true for the Three Elders who had survived losing one of their limbs.

Gung Mu-hyeok also couldn’t bear to look directly at that sight.

Only Ha Mu-baek was looking at Gung Do-hyeok with cold eyes.

“It’s not over yet.”

At those words, Gung Do-hyeok’s eyes filled with madness. He had gone insane from extreme terror.

“Hiiiiik. Gaaahhhhh.”

Making strange sounds mixing surprise and screams, Gung Do-hyeok tried to turn and run away.

But he couldn’t go far before collapsing with a thud.

He lost his balance when he became unable to move both arms.

Ha Mu-baek slowly approached and burned away even the meridians in both of Gung Do-hyeok’s ankles.

“Grrrrhhh. Grhh. Grhh.”

His eyes rolled back completely white, and foam flowed from his mouth.

Gung Do-hyeok fainted, unable to endure the pain.

This time Ha Mu-baek didn’t wake him up.

He turned around and came down from the platform.

“Hi, hic. Hic.”

Wi Sang-hyeong, startled by his movement, kept hiccupping.

What kind of mindset had he had to try to fight such a monster?

Even though his jaw wasn’t working properly, he couldn’t stop hiccupping.

Ha Mu-baek approached Gung Mu-hyeok without even glancing at the terror-stricken Wi Sang-hyeong.

“I’ll consider my debt fully collected.”

At those words, Gung Mu-hyeok cupped his fists and bowed.

“Thank you.”

Ha Mu-baek now approached Wi Sang-hyeong.

“Uh? Uhhhhh. Uon’t come (Don’t come)… Uon’t come…”

His pronunciation was unclear due to his broken jaw, but the meaning was clear enough.

Ha Mu-baek looked quietly at Wi Sang-hyeong’s face, then extended both hands.

Crack.

The broken jawbone remained as it was, but he roughly set the jaw joint back in place.

“Ahhhhh.”

Since he had roughly grabbed and set the broken jawbone, Wi Sang-hyeong screamed from the pain.

“Tell everything you bastards did. To the Ryeon-ju here.”

Since he was Gung Do-hyeok’s closest aide, he would know all the schemes Gung Do-hyeok had carried out to seize control of Manmulryeon.

Based on that, it was now time to restore Manmulryeon to its original state.

Wi Sang-hyeong trembled violently, clutching his pain-filled jaw as he told them everything he knew.

Gung Mu-hyeok quietly listened to all of it.

“Haah. Do-hyeok, Do-hyeok….”

Gung Mu-hyeok shook his head while letting out a sigh filled with lament.

He never imagined that even the Secret Vault had been breached.

Well, that would explain how he obtained five Ten Thousand Heaven Gold Chain Explosive Thunder devices.

He had been too complacent, thinking that locking the Secret Vault with Seonyu Valley’s mystical arts was enough.

There could have been other methods to find.

“First, I need to check that bastard Do-hyeok’s room.”

Gung Mu-hyeok took the lead, and Ha Mu-baek followed behind him.

They entered Gung Do-hyeok’s office like that.

All sorts of blueprints were scattered about in disarray.

Gung Mu-hyeok nodded as he examined the blueprints.

“These are the overlapping mechanism blueprints for the Ten Thousand Heaven Gold Chain Explosive Thunder that was fired at us earlier.”

Gung Do-hyeok was also the Vice Ryeon-ju of Manmulryeon.

He too was an outstanding blacksmith. It was just that Gung Mu-hyeok was so exceptionally gifted that Do-hyeok’s skills seemed relatively lacking in comparison.

“Hm? What’s this?”

At that moment, something caught Ha Mu-baek’s eye.

His eyes trembled violently.
