Chapter 291. I Am Mu-baek

 

 

“Now let’s end this!”

Gray Gang Qi erupted from Hyeon-hwang’s entire body.

As he swung both arms.

Kwang! Kwakwang!! Kwang! Kwakwang!!

All four Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrows disappeared, leaving only explosive sounds.

They couldn’t inflict any damage on Hyeon-hwang.

Woomun Ga-yul looked at that sight with a dejected face.

She had truly drawn upon all her remaining strength.

Yet this was the result.

All this time.

Had that Monster been toying with her?

“Hehe. Now you’re properly ripened. Then it’s time to harvest.”

Step.

Step.

Still emanating Gang Qi from his entire body.

Hyeon-hwang approached Woomun Ga-yul one step at a time.

Woomun Ga-yul bit her lips tightly.

She drew the Sword from her waist.

A Sword held in reverse grip.

‘No. Just a little more… so Yeon-ah can get as far away as possible.’

She hoped that child would break the Restriction Technique of the Seven-Colored Sealing Rings and run toward Anjing with full power.

And that great master who was searching for that child.

She hoped she would safely meet Ha Mu-baek.

Silent Steel gathered on the Sword.

She was determined to pour out everything she could until the final moment came.

“Now it’s time to slowly begin.”

As Hyeon-hwang lightly waved his hand.

Slash.

The fabric on Woomun Ga-yul’s right shoulder was cut away.

Her pale skin was exposed.

Hyeon-hwang’s sinister smile deepened.

The lust in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.

“Next is…”

Hyeon-hwang was raising his hand again.

Woomun Ga-yul was gritting her teeth, about to thrust her Sword.

“Hm?”

Hyeon-hwang turned his head back.

He was stunned.

Because he was concentrating on this woman.

He had missed that the guy from Anjing had approached to close range.

He quickly turned his body and extended his palm forward.

The Palm Force of Great Force Diamond Palm extending from his hand.

Fierce winds swirled around.

Kwang!

A tremendous collision sound rang out.

A Man landed on the Ground.

“You’re quite skilled. You should have just stayed there. Then you might have preserved your life. But I’m in a bit of a hurry right now, so I’ll have to kill you quickly.”

Hyeon-hwang’s rambling words didn’t even enter Ha Mu-baek’s ears.

Ha Mu-baek simply looked at one place.

There was a woman with the fabric near her right shoulder cut, slightly exposing her skin.

A woman prepared to fight to the death.

It was Woomun Ga-yul.

“That’s right.”

Ha Mu-baek spoke calmly.

However, his inner self was trembling violently.

The emotion of finally meeting again.

Relief that she was fortunately safe.

Rage that she had been treated this way by that damned monk.

Above all, the greatest was fury at his own complacency and carelessness.

All sorts of emotions were forming Chaos.

“Who?”

At the words of The Man who seemed to know her, Woomun Ga-yul reflexively asked.

“I am Mu-baek, benefactor.”

Ha Mu-baek spoke, trying to remain calm.

At those words, Woomun Ga-yul’s eyes widened after hesitating for a moment.

Those were words in her memory.

‘I am Mu-baek, benefactor.’

Over ten years ago.

When she helped a boy who had a little Younger Sibling with him.

That was the single phrase the boy used to introduce himself.

The Man speaking in exactly the same tone, exactly the same way.

His appearance.

His voice had changed, but.

She could recognize him.

It was that child.

That child had grown up and appeared like this.

And as a master strong enough to neutralize that Monster’s Palm Force.

A sudden thought.

The name Ha Mu-baek and Mun In-baek-song’s praise-like compliment of him being a great master.

Then.

That great master Ha Mu-baek.

Was exactly the Mu-baek she had saved…

Ah!

How could the world’s connections be like this!

Woomun Ga-yul had such thoughts.

Her eyes trembled.

Because she hadn’t expected to reunite like this.

From satisfaction at his admirable appearance.

From shame at her current state of being toyed with by the enemy.

Woomun Ga-yul’s gaze was complex.

“Kehe. What are you doing in front of me?”

With those words, Hyeon-hwang struck at Ha Mu-baek.

With a palm from which gray Gang Qi flowed in streams.

Bang!

A tremendous explosion rang out.

Hyeon-hwang’s palm was stopped in mid-air.

Ha Mu-baek’s fist was embedded there.

It was covered in black gang qi.

“I’ll deal with this bastard first.”

Ha Mu-baek slightly bowed his head toward Woomun Ga-yul and spoke respectfully.

“What?”

Hyeon-hwang’s expression showed disbelief.

He was quite strong, but to dare challenge him?

Hyeon-hwang’s hands moved frantically once again.

Bang! Kwabang! Bang!

The two men’s palms and fists clashed chaotically, creating tremendous explosions.

Both men exchanged offense and defense.

Without taking a single step back from where they stood.

Each move, each strike contained tremendous force.

Yet neither could gain the upper hand.

Neither took damage nor dealt any.

Woomun Ga-yul watched with a surprised expression.

She had heard he was a great master.

But she never expected him to be at this level.

Ha Mu-baek slightly frowned.

The more they clashed.

The more familiar it felt.

How?

How could such sinister and ominous martial arts?

It was martial arts as unpleasant as those of the Demonic Cult or Blood Cult.

Each form he used was indeed Shaolin martial arts.

But the internal energy contained within was the problem.

This made even evil arts of the unorthodox sects look pure.

Wasn’t Shaolin the one grinding their teeth at the unorthodox sects, coming forward to capture unorthodox martial artists even now?

Yet someone from such Shaolin appeared like this.

“What are you?”

Finally Ha Mu-baek asked.

A monk he didn’t recognize despite being a senior.

Moreover, the martial arts he used felt familiar though their identity was unknown.

“What are you then?”

It seemed Hyeon-hwang felt the same way.

The two temporarily separated and entered a lull.

Two people exploring each other with sharp eyes.

“Hmm… Could it be…”

Hyeon-hwang was the first to recognize his opponent.

“Are you also of the same kind as me?”

Eyes That See Essence.

That was one of the powers Hyeon-hwang possessed.

Such Hyeon-hwang approached the essence of Ha Mu-baek’s martial arts.

However.

He could not see it.

Martial arts whose essence could not be grasped even with his eyes.

There was no way such martial arts could exist.

There were.

Martial arts of the same kind as what he had learned.

His martial arts had not extended in just one direction either.

At the question of being the same kind, Ha Mu-baek’s face contorted with rage.

Currently.

Ha Mu-baek was also operating his Infinite Bright Wheel Eye.

It was the first time.

The first time he couldn’t properly grasp the origin of internal energy with his Infinite Bright Wheel Eye.

Some tremendous power was visible, but he couldn’t know its exact nature.

It felt as if fog had settled hazily.

One thing was certain: it was a power that felt disgustingly hostile, yet familiar, and conversely felt like a power that must be obtained.

‘Such a thing…’

Had happened before.

When he encountered Dan Mok Un-rae’s Void Vast Heart Formula.

When he encountered the Namgung Family’s Emperor Sword Form.

The somehow familiar feeling he had felt.

It was the same feeling as that.

The difference was this terrible disgust.

While feeling disgust as if they couldn’t exist under the same sky, paradoxically it also felt like something that must be obtained.

‘What on earth is this…’

Hyeon-hwang drew out all his power.

Because he acknowledged his opponent was formidable.

His eyebrows turned bright red, and his eyes were so red that blood seemed ready to drip at any moment.

Ha Mu-baek also raised his internal energy.

Dark-colored gang qi surged throughout his body.

“For some unknown bastard to make this master use full power. Remarkable. But that’s all. Now go to Buddha’s embrace!”

Gray gang qi swirled and shot toward Ha Mu-baek.

Ten directions in total.

Ha Mu-baek drew his sword and swung it.

Ten sword auras clashed with ten swirling gang qi.

The ground split and the sky cried out.

The two men clashed again.

Bang!

Clang!

Chaechang!

Kwabang!!!

Woomun Ga-yul retreated to avoid being caught in the aftermath of their battle.

The exchange between the two men had something beyond fierceness.

A scene like a well-matched sword dance.

Despite attacking each other with hostility and full strength, they strangely harmonized and flowed together.

Ha Mu-baek realized this fact and frowned.

“Hmm.”

Hyeon-hwang temporarily withdrew.

He looked at Ha Mu-baek with suspicious eyes.

“You. Do you know of the Primordial?”

“What do you mean?”

Ha Mu-baek asked back.

Hyeon-hwang frowned.

“Then have you met Sim Yeon?”

This time Ha Mu-baek frowned.

What kind of nonsense is this coming out of nowhere?

“You learned that martial art but didn’t hear the call of the abyss, the primordial will?”

Hyeon-hwang asked with an incredulous expression.

That couldn’t be.

That was the only martial art that could stand against him and fight like this.

This was already a situation where he was giving his all.

Nothing should be able to trouble him except for the sealing tool that damn Senior Brother possessed.

This bastard fighting evenly with him.

He must definitely be connected to the primordial.

There were fragments created by pieces of the primordial in the Sutra Repository.

That bastard must have obtained something similar somewhere.

Ha Mu-baek gave no answer whatsoever.

“I see? So you’ve neither heard nor met the abyss. You must have luckily obtained that martial art by chance. If you don’t know the abyss, you cannot be my opponent. Let’s end this now. I must share Cloud and Rain Pleasure with that woman over there.”

Red energy surged within the gray Gang Qi.

It became one giant whip and flew toward Ha Mu-baek.

Swoosh.

The Dark Sword Energy cut through the gray Gang Qi.

“Just because you have a mouth doesn’t mean you can spout any nonsense. Those words just now have determined your death day. It’ll be today next year.”

Ha Mu-baek’s body movement shot toward Hyeon-hwang.

Sword Aura extended in streams, slashing at Hyeon-hwang.

Clang!

Four streams of Gang Qi flowed from Hyeon-hwang’s body, blocking Ha Mu-baek’s sword.

Like an octopus’s legs.

Gang Qi extended from his body and moved.

Eight in total.

Whether tentacles or octopus legs.

Gang Qi in that form occupied Ha Mu-baek’s surroundings and stabbed at him.

Each one contained not only sharp Blade Aura but also tremendous force.

Ha Mu-baek deployed the Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique to deflect all that Gang Qi.

Even so, they kept coming endlessly.

Meanwhile, Hyeon-hwang’s two hands were steadily deploying Shaolin fist techniques.

Hundred Step Hundred Lotus Divine Fist.

Those two fists drawing beautiful lotus flowers were filled with sinister energy.

Boom!

The ground shook once again.

Ha Mu-baek seemed to step back several paces, then raised his sword.

And the sword technique that unfolded.

Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique.

Second Severance.

Severing Sunset.

A sword deployed with the momentum to split everything at once.

Hyeon-hwang’s eyes widened at the sight of the sword flying toward him.

He finally recognized it.

It became visible when deployed like that.

It wasn’t one but two.

That’s why he couldn’t easily tell.

Who would have thought there was another human besides himself who possessed two.

Moreover.

That bastard seemed to have complete versions of the two.

Not incomplete ones like his own.

‘Even so, he’s just a brat who doesn’t know the abyss.’

The movement of Hyeon-hwang’s fists changed.

Power mixed with darkness and chaos.

Dark Chaos World-Destroying Desolation Fist.

What Hyeon-hwang had discovered in a corner of the Sutra Repository.

That martial art mixed with fragments of darkness and chaos.

That martial art the abyss had embedded in Hyeon-hwang’s mind.

After more than ten years, it revealed its form once again.

Kwaaaaaaaang!!!

A tremendous explosion and storm swept through.

Ha Mu-baek and Hyeon-hwang were simultaneously pushed back with a sliding motion.

The two people looking at each other.

Shock appeared in Ha Mu-baek’s eyes.

This was the first time anyone had blocked the Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique so perfectly.

After Ha Mu-baek had surpassed a certain level.

The Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique had never been blocked.

“You bastard… it seems you’ve gotten your hands on a fragment that counters my power.”

Hyeon-hwang said while lightly shaking his hands.

A tingling sensation had traveled up to his arms.

This clash was Hyeon-hwang’s loss.

Ha Mu-baek appeared to have taken no damage.

He must have obtained one of these three: Mugeuk, Radiance, or Wish Fulfillment.

Otherwise.

Darkness and chaos.

He couldn’t be this equal with someone who possessed two types of primordial fragments.

Though the darkness and chaos he had obtained were fragments, not complete pieces.

‘I need to find other fragments.’

Only then could he tear that bastard to shreds.

He knew the location of other fragments.

The abyss had already told him.

Before he could find those fragments, he was subdued by Master and confined in Repentance Cave.

This time.

Hyeon-hwang’s gaze turned toward somewhere far behind Ha Mu-baek.

The woman he had captured.

If he just took that woman, he could easily find the fragments.

If he returned empty-handed, Senior Brother would immediately recite the incantation.

But getting past this bastard now to capture that woman was impossible.

‘I’ll attack the Sutra Repository directly.’

Then he would find the fragments in a quick decisive battle before Senior Brother could recite the incantation.

Hyeon-hwang made up his mind.

As for the woman, he had taken certain measures anyway.

If Senior Brother tried to recite the incantation, he could tell him about that arrangement and somehow manage.

Gray Gang Qi began rising from his body again.

This time Hyeon-hwang took the initiative.

His Dark Chaos World-Destroying Desolation Fist deployed at full power flew toward Ha Mu-baek.
