Chapter 342. Not Bad
Ha Mu-baek looked at Un Gyo-tak with an indifferent expression.
The stance he was taking.
Indeed.
It was different from the clumsy fellows he had faced so far.
This was definitely a properly learned Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade.
However.
‘Still, the difference in level is too great.’
So Hwi-ung’s Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade that he had closely observed.
Compared to that, it felt like a completely different technique.
“Draw your sword.”
Un Gyo-tak spoke to Ha Mu-baek in a low voice.
He could have shrugged his shoulders and faced him barehanded.
But since he was the Dorim Master’s younger brother.
He decided to at least consider his dignity.
‘I seem to have changed a lot too.’
He thought as he reached for his sword.
Life at Gyoryong Hall, at Maengryong Corps, had brought changes to him as well.
That must be what was gradually diluting the scent of blood.
Shing.
Ha Mu-baek drew his sword.
The corner of Un Gyo-tak’s mouth rose slightly.
“This is the ultimate Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade. Prepare yourself.”
Un Gyo-tak was full of confidence.
However, Ha Mu-baek was puzzled.
If it was the ultimate Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade, it should surely be like So Hwi-ung’s.
But compared to that, the difference in level was too great.
“Hiyah!”
Un Gyo-tak kicked off the ground.
The first form of Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade scattered fierce energy as it flew toward Ha Mu-baek.
The cadets of Maengryong Corps widened their eyes at the sight.
The Life and Death Techniques of the Number One Under Heaven, Jeongcheon Alliance Leader So Hwi-ung.
Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade.
They never expected to see it right before their eyes.
Indeed.
It was a technique that scattered tremendous energy, just as they had heard.
The same was true for the cadets of Maengryong Corps Seventh Group.
They had seen Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade before.
What Han Pyeong had displayed.
This was incomparable to that technique.
“Tr, truly…”
Dang Jin-san let out a trembling voice.
It was truly a spectacular sight.
However.
“It’s tremendous, but… our instructor is more tremendous.”
At Baek Ri-pyeong’s words.
Dang Jin-san also nodded.
Even though they were watching the Number One Under Heaven’s exclusive martial arts, albeit performed by another’s hands.
Their belief that their instructor would be stronger had now firmly taken root.
Clang!
The blade wrapped in red blade energy was blocked by Ha Mu-baek’s sword and bounced away.
“Not bad.”
After uttering those words, Un Gyo-tak pressed Ha Mu-baek like a true storm.
All of those attacks were blocked by Ha Mu-baek’s defense.
Un Gyo-tak’s offensive showed no signs of diminishing.
A veritable storm of blade energy engulfed Ha Mu-baek.
“Wo, wo, wow…”
The cadets couldn’t continue their words at the sight.
They could only let out great exclamations of admiration.
“But something seems strange…”
Amid the fierce exchange of offense and defense.
There was also a sharp-eyed cadet who sensed something odd.
Something felt unnatural and strange.
But they couldn’t figure out what it was.
Even though Un Gyo-tak’s storm-like attacks were being displayed overwhelmingly.
This strange feeling that he seemed to be at a disadvantage.
“He hasn’t moved a single step.”
When had he arrived?
Namgung Hu stood beside the cadets of the Seventh and Twentieth Groups and spoke calmly.
Baek Ri-pyeong nodded at those words.
“Rather, it seems Master Un doesn’t realize it?”
At Nak U-jin’s words, Yeon Ha-min shook her head.
“No way. He must know. He just doesn’t want to admit it.”
While they were having this conversation.
Un Do-heon was watching the martial duel with a delighted expression.
“As expected of Youngest Uncle. That damn instructor doesn’t even dare think of counterattacking. Hahaha.”
Just as he let out a pleased laugh.
Swoosh.
Ha Mu-baek’s sword suddenly shot out.
Un Gyo-tak hastily jerked his head back, barely avoiding the attack.
Strands of hair scattered and fell through the air.
With just one sword strike.
Un Gyo-tak felt his heart grow cold.
If that sword had been just a little faster.
His head would have been pierced.
“Gulp.”
For the first time, Un Gyo-tak’s blade stopped.
He swallowed dry saliva as he looked at Ha Mu-baek.
‘He’s strong.’
He had no choice but to acknowledge it.
It was a strength that made him understand why Han Pyeong and his nephew had been so thoroughly defeated.
How could he block the ultimate Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade so easily?
Un Gyo-tak’s gaze turned to Ha Mu-baek’s feet.
They remained in the same position.
In the same stance he had first taken.
There wasn’t even a trace of him shifting his foot slightly to the side.
How could such a person be an instructor of Maengryong Corps.
Only now did he understand his elder brother’s words.
That he would only know by experiencing it.
His elder brother must have known.
That this bastard was this strong.
But.
He couldn’t retreat like this.
Dorim had its pride.
He couldn’t tarnish the name of the Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade.
Therefore.
He drew up his internal energy and concentrated all his mind.
Not participating in the Murim Tournament.
The realm he had discovered during seclusion training.
Even so, he still couldn’t unfold it perfectly.
But that realm he could glimpse for a moment.
He had to unfold and show that.
‘Heaven-Collapsing Demon-Annihilation.’
The final form of the Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade and its most domineering and powerful form.
When unfolding this.
There was a realm he had glimpsed, albeit very briefly.
He had to step into that, even momentarily, here and now.
Only then could he land even one blow on that bastard.
Un Gyo-tak slowly moved his blade.
He erased the image of Ha Mu-baek before his eyes.
He couldn’t feel the countless gazes watching this martial duel from around them.
He focused solely on Heaven-Collapsing Demon-Annihilation.
Only the blade and himself existed.
Internal energy moved and extended into the blade.
And a single form that struck down like lightning.
Heaven-Collapsing Demon-Annihilation!
At that single move.
“Gasp!!”
“Wow!!”
The cadets watching the martial duel unconsciously let out exclamations of admiration.
Ha Mu-baek looked at the blade falling toward him.
Step.
For the first time, he took one step forward.
And swung his sword.
White sword aura split the air.
Bang!!!
A tremendous collision sound erupted.
“Kugh.”
Un Gyo-tak spat blood from his mouth and staggered back ten steps.
“Urgh.”
And once again spat out blood.
He had suffered severe internal injuries.
From just one collision.
Un Gyo-tak trembled as he looked at Ha Mu-baek.
Ha Mu-baek still stood there with a calm expression.
‘He moved.’
Just one step, but.
Ha Mu-baek’s foot position had changed.
“Not bad.”
Ha Mu-baek said nonchalantly.
“Damn it…”
At Ha Mu-baek’s words evaluating him.
Un Gyo-tak uttered those words and.
Thud.
Collapsed unconscious.
“U-U-Uncle!!”
At that sight, Un Do-heon ran over in great alarm.
“Take him to the Medical Hall.”
Peng Do-yul ordered the subordinates nearby.
One of the guards hoisted Un Gyo-tak on his back and quickly moved away.
Un Do-heon followed behind with a pale face.
Peng Do-yul glanced at Ha Mu-baek briefly and then headed toward the Medical Hall.
Since this was an official visit with formal documents sent from Dorim.
He, as the Academy Director, had to accompany them.
“Hmm. Just now was somewhat similar martial arts…”
The Heaven-Collapsing Demon-Annihilation he had just displayed.
It was still nowhere near So Hwi-ung’s level.
But it did look like the same blade technique that So Hwi-ung used.
Unlike everything before.
‘Was that it?’
Having seen both blade techniques.
Something came to mind.
‘The Alliance Leader must have crossed the wall once. That fellow seems to have just glimpsed beyond the wall a little.’
Ha Mu-baek glanced at Un Gyo-tak’s figure disappearing in the distance, carried by the guard.
If he had already glimpsed beyond the wall, even slightly, at that age.
That was remarkable talent.
With just a little help.
That talent would bloom even more fully.
‘Why should I bother. How troublesome.’
Thinking so, Ha Mu-baek climbed onto the platform.
“Continue training.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s words, the cadets quickly gathered at the training ground.
Having just witnessed their instructor’s tremendous martial arts with their own eyes.
Their movements became even more agile.
They had known he was strong from how he handled them.
But still, seeing him easily defeat a master from Dorim.
Moreover, clearly witnessing him simply break a Dorim master who had learned the Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade.
They truly felt that strength.
Awe arose within them.
This showed in their actions.
***
“Why is this?”
Gwan Ha-gyeong was looking down at the item delivered to him from the sect with bewildered eyes.
When he broke the seal of the box and opened the lid, the contents revealed.
Made Gwan Ha-gyeong like that.
Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade.
A book with those five characters written as the title.
In other words.
The secret manual of Dorim’s supreme blade technique had been delivered to him.
Why on earth?
He couldn’t understand the reason.
There was a sealed letter next to the secret manual.
He unfolded it and read.
The content said that since he had learned the Single Heaven Blade Technique to an excellent level, he seemed to have talent with the blade, so they were transmitting the Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade for him to learn with utmost effort.
Gwan Ha-gyeong tilted his head.
The sect had shown not the slightest interest in him while he was at Gyoryong Hall.
How did they know about his level of skill?
“Ah…”
About a month ago.
A martial artist from Dorim had visited the Bongma Corps.
He said it was a visit to assess the situation of corps members from Dorim.
Since he had sent an official document to the Jeongcheon Alliance and visited with permission.
Gwan Ha-gyeong and other corps members from Dorim had conversations with him and demonstrated their martial arts in front of him.
And he had forgotten about it.
Was it because of that?
But it was strange.
Since then, he was the only one in the Bongma Corps to receive something like this from the sect.
Since there was only one place where letters or items sent to them were collected.
It was possible to confirm the fact that something had been sent from somewhere to someone.
“What on earth is this about…”
Gwan Ha-gyeong was still bewildered.
It was a measure taken by Rim Ju-in Un Gyo-cheol following So Hwi-ung’s advice to widely spread the Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade to those with talent.
But there was no way Gwan Ha-gyeong could know such a fact.
At least while he was at Gyoryong Hall, he was completely entrusted to Gyoryong Hall for training.
Because it was the first time Gwan Ha-gyeong had been evaluated by a master from Dorim.
Gwan Ha-gyeong’s hands trembled slightly.
Still.
He was happy that his efforts had been recognized by the sect.
Gwan Ha-gyeong slowly took out the secret manual from the box.
And character by character.
He read with concentration.
If he learned this.
Perhaps.
He might be able to face Muk Cheol-gang-si.
Rustle. Rustle.
Only the sound of slowly turning pages echoed.
***
“Huu. Huu. Huu.”
Rough and deep breathing sounds echoed.
Arms that had been gauntly thin swelled with flesh and muscle.
His face also had a lustrous glow and the wrinkles that had been creased became lighter.
“Is, is it over…”
A trembling voice.
Myo Gu-eung examined his own body.
It was an unbelievable change, but it was indeed as described in the Ten Thousand Desolations Soul-Stealing Underworld Poison Art.
“Su, su, success! Uhahahaha!”
He burst into wild laughter toward the sky.
It was something he had attempted thinking it would naturally succeed.
But he had faced death several times during the process.
He had even thought that perhaps he might fail.
But since he had succeeded like this.
Myo Gu-eung, who had been bursting with laughter for a long time, suddenly stopped.
A solid, muscular naked body.
He had only absorbed poison essence.
Yet his body was completely different.
Skin as smooth as white jade with a subtle black radiance.
It was his body right after completing Bone Transformation Skin Shedding.
Bone Transformation Skin Shedding using poison essence.
His face had also become younger.
The elderly him had returned to a middle-aged face.
“Good.”
He smiled broadly.
After moving his body this way and that.
Pat.
When he lightly kicked off the ground.
He instantly crossed space and moved.
Tremendous speed.
He spread his palm and tried drawing up poison energy.
Black heat haze rose up.
Deadly poison energy that would instantly turn the surroundings into a land of death flowed out.
“Good.”
He smiled broadly.
His pure white teeth sparkled.
He was satisfied.
No, more than that.
“Absolute Poison Realm, Poison God Body.”
Myo Gu-eung muttered calmly.
“I have achieved it. That fantastical realm. Kuhahahaha.”
Myo Gu-eung burst into wild laughter once more.
Step. Step.
He began to walk to escape the deep cave.
