Chapter 255. Is There More?
Ha Mu-baek calmly watched the Namgung Family Estate masters charging toward him.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The Dark Sword Aura had already disappeared, and Ha Mu-baek sheathed his sword.
“Mayfly-like bastards. How ridiculous.”
Then he lightly kicked off the ground and swung his sheathed sword at those charging toward him.
Thwack!
Thud thud!
What use was manifesting Sword Aura?
When they couldn’t even hit their target.
The elders’ Sword Aura sliced through empty air.
Meanwhile, Ha Mu-baek’s scabbard struck their bodies precisely.
Targeting only the most painful spots.
“Kugh.”
“Ugh!”
Screams erupted from all around.
Ha Mu-baek moved freely in all directions, beating down the Namgung Family Warriors.
The spacious banquet hall instantly turned into chaos.
The banquet hall filled with the screams of Namgung Family Warriors.
Namgung Hwa-u watched the scene in a daze.
He knew Ha Mu-baek was strong, but to this extent.
Right now Ha Mu-baek was moving lightly as if playing around.
Yet the Namgung Family Warriors couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes and were being knocked away.
The Elder Council’s former masters were the same.
Even so, the warriors who had screamed and tumbled got back up and charged again.
Ha Mu-baek beat them down again.
Gongsun Mu-oe, who was watching this scene, tilted his head.
His expression seemed to say this wasn’t like someone who would show such mercy while beating people.
Ha Mu-baek, who had been busily beating the Namgung Family Warriors, made eye contact with Gongsun Mu-oe.
Grin.
The corner of Ha Mu-baek’s mouth rose.
‘There’s something going on.’
From that smile, Gongsun Mu-oe realized Ha Mu-baek had some scheme.
Now it didn’t matter what Namgung Hwa-u had been trying to say in the banquet hall.
An intruder had burst into the banquet hall and attacked Namgung Hyeon-cheol.
With only that fact remaining, all the Namgung Family members attending the banquet charged toward Ha Mu-baek.
Among those belonging to the Namgung Family, only three people hadn’t drawn their swords against Ha Mu-baek: Namgung Hwa-u, Namgung Ji-yu, and Namgung Ji-hu.
Namgung Hyeon-cheol and Namgung Hwa-hyeon had retreated far away and continued shouting for attacks.
“There’s only one of him. Show the power of the Namgung Family!”
“Hah!”
With a light battle cry, he swung his scabbard wide, instantly sweeping away five or six warriors and creating a small space around Ha Mu-baek.
At that moment.
Ha Mu-baek grabbed Namgung Hwa-u’s neck with one hand.
“Wh-what…”
Namgung Hwa-u was startled by Ha Mu-baek’s sudden action.
Ha Mu-baek paid no attention to his reaction and threw him without hesitation.
“Ahhh.”
Namgung Hwa-u involuntarily screamed, startled by the sudden situation.
He tried to right his body somehow, but it was useless.
Whatever Ha Mu-baek had done, he couldn’t move a single finger and flew straight toward the banquet hall wall.
Crash!
With a tremendous sound, a hole larger than a person was punched through the banquet hall building’s wall.
Namgung Hwa-u, who had made the hole, rolled across the ground.
“We should also temporarily evacuate.”
At Gongsun Mu-oe’s words, Ma Jin-gi, Namgung Hwi, and Chu Dong escaped through that hole.
And Namgung Ji-hu and Namgung Ji-yu as well.
Namgung Hwa-hyeon watched this scene clearly.
‘Could it be?’
A thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Gongsun Mu-oe visiting the Namgung Family Estate today with those children.
The youngest, Namgung Hwa-u, suddenly going crazy and rampaging.
Perhaps none of it was coincidence.
Then his thoughts extended to the bamboo hat wearers who had evacuated following Gongsun Mu-oe.
‘Come to think of it, who are they?’
He had thought they were Gongsun Mu-oe’s attendants and hadn’t paid particular attention.
But thinking about it, he didn’t even know their faces.
“C-catch those bastards!”
Namgung Hwa-hyeon’s face contorted as he screamed desperately.
However, those dealing with Ha Mu-baek had no leisure to spare.
Just one person.
Dozens were being pushed back by a single person.
“That damn bastard is exactly…”
Namgung Hwa-hyeon gritted his teeth.
Ha Mu-baek, confirming that even the Namgung Siblings had all escaped the banquet hall.
As if this had been his intention all along, he suddenly increased the distance.
A brief lull ensued.
Only then did the Namgung Family martial artists properly see Ha Mu-baek’s face.
Among them, one person recognized Ha Mu-baek’s face.
“Ha, Ha, Ha Mu-baek…”
The one uttering that name with a trembling voice was Namgung Hwa-gyeol.
He was one of Namgung Hwa-hyeon’s younger brothers.
Having seen Ha Mu-baek on the battlefield during the last war, he only now recognized him.
The impact of that name was significant.
Though the majority looked puzzled as if asking who that was.
The Elder Council’s former masters.
And Namgung Hyeon-cheol and Namgung Hwa-hyeon’s eyes widened.
“They said he was a monster… indeed…”
It was absurd.
No matter what, to cause such a disturbance at the heart of the great Namgung Family Estate.
“What’s your relationship with that bastard Hwa-u?”
Namgung Hwa-hyeon asked with a voice full of killing intent.
Ha Mu-baek shrugged his shoulders.
“I was just passing by when he told an interesting story. I was just curious about what happened next.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s feigned ignorance, Namgung Hwa-hyeon’s face twisted viciously.
“And interesting stories taste even better when heard together with many people.”
Saying this, Ha Mu-baek finally drew his sword from its sheath.
Dark Sword Aura instantly surged and bloomed around the blade.
“Grrr. Kill that bastard right now!”
Since he was an attacker, the outcome was already decided.
It didn’t matter whether that bastard was Ha Mu-baek or not.
If he were the Hocheon Corps Leader it might be different, but now he was just an instructor.
Killing one instructor was nothing to the Namgung Family Estate.
Namgung Hwa-hyeon thought so.
Naturally, they would be able to capture and kill him.
He had heard news of the Peng Family, but the great Namgung Family Estate was different from the likes of the Peng Family.
Ha Mu-baek looked at the warriors about to launch themselves at him again and smiled once more.
Then he held his sword in reverse grip.
“Then, let’s all go listen together.”
As those words ended, he plunged the sword wrapped in Dark Sword Aura straight into the ground.
Thud.
He just stabbed it in.
Or so it seemed.
However.
The Sword Aura burrowed underground and spread in all directions like a spider web.
“Explode.”
With Ha Mu-baek’s quiet murmur.
BOOM! CRASH CRASH CRASH BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Rumble. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With tremendous explosions, the ground burst apart.
The earth shook, cracked, and exploded as if an earthquake had struck.
“Ugh, ahhh!”
“D-dodge!!”
“S-save me!!”
Pandemonium.
The banquet hall instantly transformed into such chaos.
That wasn’t the end of it.
Rumble rumble.
The underground explosions broke all the pillars of the banquet hall.
The result was obvious.
The banquet hall building slowly began to tilt.
CRASH CRASH BOOM!
It collapsed in an instant.
The tremendous storm of Gang Qi that spread in concentric circles centered on Ha Mu-baek erased the banquet hall just like that.
Only Ha Mu-baek, standing at the center of the explosion with his sword planted in the ground, looked as if nothing had happened.
Not a speck of dust had touched his face.
“Cough.”
“Urgh…”
Despite the massive explosion and collapse.
Namgung Family Warriors groaned and got up from various places.
People staggering through the building debris.
Many were injured here and there, but no one had died.
It was a strange thing.
However, Ha Mu-baek looked at them as if it were natural.
It had to be so.
What Ha Mu-baek had exploded with Gang Qi wasn’t just the ground.
He had infiltrated Gang Qi into the entire walls and roof of the banquet hall building and exploded them.
Since the building had been shattered into small pieces before collapsing, the impact transmitted to those buried was minimal.
Being martial artists, they could survive with just injuries rather than death.
The sudden explosion and massive collapse.
Like a bolt from the blue, lights were lit throughout the Inner Courtyard and Outer Courtyard of the Namgung Family Estate.
Soon, countless martial artists rushed to this place.
Among them, the Changcheon Sword Corps, the Namgung Family Estate’s strongest military unit, also came rushing in full force.
An enormous number of martial artists gathered in an instant.
No, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the entire Namgung Family Estate had gathered.
“Heh heh. Heh heh heh. What? It’s better when many people listen? You bastard dug your own grave. Ha Mu-baek! No matter who you are, you caused this chaos at the Namgung Family Estate, so you’ll have nothing to say even if you die. Obediently offer your neck!”
Namgung Hwa-hyeon shouted triumphantly, seeing the military forces that had gathered instantly.
Several people were startled at the name Ha Mu-baek.
There were also those who confirmed Ha Mu-baek’s face and showed tense expressions.
They were all people who had experienced Ha Mu-baek in the last war.
“How about we do that after listening to the story first?”
Ha Mu-baek still spoke with a smile.
“No discussion needed! The Namgung Family Estate shows no mercy to intruders!”
Namgung Hwa-hyeon shouted as if it were out of the question.
His instincts were also warning him intensely.
If Namgung Hwa-u’s words continued here, an uncontrollable situation might unfold.
Fortunately, Ha Mu-baek had protected him while attacking a Namgung Family Estate elder.
The justification was sufficient.
Now he just needed to kill him.
Kill that bastard and use the momentum to silence that Hwa-u brat.
“What are you all doing! Hurry up and execute that intruder right now!”
Namgung Hwa-hyeon’s shout.
The Namgung Family Estate’s military forces, including the Changcheon Sword Corps, drew their swords and slowly surrounded Ha Mu-baek.
The dust from the collapse gradually settled.
Ha Mu-baek pulled out the sword he had planted in the ground.
The dark night.
Dark Sword Aura scattering an even deeper darkness.
Ha Mu-baek planted his scabbard in the ground instead of the sword he had drawn.
“From now on, I kill?”
Ha Mu-baek spoke low.
His voice was thick with killing intent.
Several people hesitantly stepped back at those words.
They were people who had at least seen Ha Mu-baek’s sword before.
“Stupid fools! What are you doing instead of charging right now!”
Was that sight frustrating?
Elder Namgung Ho-cheol immediately launched his body forward.
Sword Aura was also formed on his blade.
And the Emperor Sword Form embroidering the air.
He unleashed the Emperor Sword Form with all his might toward Ha Mu-baek.
Sword Aura shone in the night sky.
The sword flying toward Ha Mu-baek’s neck.
The majestic yet dazzling changes showed that he had achieved some mastery of the Emperor Sword Form.
A strange light appeared in Ha Mu-baek’s eyes as he watched the movement.
It seemed like the Emperor Sword Form.
But it wasn’t the Emperor Sword Form he had seen in the secret manual.
‘The latter half?’
If it was an Emperor Sword Form that Ha Mu-baek didn’t know, that was the only possibility.
He had glimpsed it briefly on the battlefield.
It was similar to that but different.
‘Wasn’t it something only the Family Head could learn?’
Such a question briefly arose.
But it wasn’t particularly important to Ha Mu-baek.
He had clearly given a warning.
And that bastard had charged at him.
The thought that properly demonstrating his power now might actually save countless lives.
Ha Mu-baek’s sword moved.
Swoosh.
And a chilling sound rang out.
The Dark Sword Energy cut right through Namgung Ho-cheol’s pure white sword aura.
Sword aura cutting through sword aura.
Just as people were about to gape at that sight.
Ha Mu-baek’s sword didn’t stop and continued moving.
Swoosh.
Once more the chilling sound rang out.
Thud.
Just like that, Namgung Ho-cheol met his death.
With a single sword strike.
So simply.
With a sword that seemed to be swung playfully.
The sword aura was cut, and Namgung Ho-cheol was cut down.
Silence descended.
A deathly quiet as if no one was there instantly dominated the Namgung Family Estate.
No one could open their mouth.
If they opened their mouth and made a sound, this impossible illusion might become reality.
Wasn’t that right?
An elder of the Namgung Family.
An elder who had reached the Super Peak realm.
To lose his life in a single sword strike.
Wasn’t that complete nonsense?
That’s why everyone kept their mouths tightly shut.
As if what they saw was an illusion, a phantom.
Thinking that soon they would see Namgung Ho-cheol swing his sword and that bastard Ha Mu-baek collapse bleeding.
“Next?”
However.
With the single word Ha Mu-baek uttered, such expectations were completely shattered.
“Isn’t there a next one?”
Ha Mu-baek surveyed the crowd with cold eyes.
His sword was still dark-colored.
