Chapter 363. Please Just Disappear!
There stood Myo Gu-eung, gripping his left shoulder with his right arm.
His left arm had vanished below the elbow.
Black blood was gushing out profusely.
A moment ago.
Recalling the movement of Soul Crushing, Ha Mu-baek gathered his energy once more.
Myo Gu-eung’s expression was terrified and devastated.
As he hesitantly retreated backward, his expression suddenly changed.
‘It’s released.’
Purple Light Acid Poison.
Whether that bastard’s duration had ended.
The energy in his dantian had returned.
The moment he confirmed this, without a second thought.
“You monster bastard! Try blocking this too!”
The newly acquired power and the existing energy of his dantian.
Combining all of it, he charged toward Ha Mu-baek and unleashed it.
A pitch-black sphere of poison energy the size of an adult appeared before Ha Mu-baek’s eyes.
And Myo Gu-eung.
Ran as if there was nothing to see.
Passing by Ha Mu-baek who was swinging his sword toward his full-power technique.
He ran with all his might as if he wasn’t curious about the outcome.
Clutching one arm.
“Damn it…”
Though despair and rage resided in his eyes.
More than that, the desire for survival to live at all costs was strongest.
‘I must somehow shake off that bastard.’
That was his only thought.
And a suitable place came to mind.
“Where do you…”
Ha Mu-baek tried to catch the fleeing Myo Gu-eung but couldn’t.
The massive sphere of poison that appeared before his eyes.
It was because he felt the power and might this thing possessed.
It was too dangerous to ignore as it was.
The energy and poison it contained.
Both of them.
Just as Ha Mu-baek was about to unleash Soul Crushing once more.
He felt a fierce flow of internal energy.
‘It’s back.’
Ha Mu-baek’s internal energy returned a little later than Myo Gu-eung’s.
Ha Mu-baek instantly unleashed Soul Crushing.
He poured in all the energy he possessed.
Fire energy, ice energy, and even the internal energy he had just recovered.
The three energies swirled and flew forth, enveloping the sphere of poison Myo Gu-eung had left behind.
And.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
Once again, a tremendous explosion occurred.
Though he had anticipated and prepared this time.
Perhaps because internal energy was mixed in, an even greater explosion occurred and Ha Mu-baek was pushed back once more.
“Kugh.”
The absurd situation of groaning from his own unleashed energy.
At the same time.
Ha Mu-baek scattered ice energy in all directions.
It was because he failed to completely annihilate the sphere of poison.
Since poison energy remained and was trying to scatter and spread in all directions.
He first froze it with ice energy to stop its spread.
Then.
He moved fire energy to create flames and burned it all away.
“Phew.”
Ha Mu-baek let out a small sigh, turned his body, and kicked off the ground.
He had to catch and kill that bastard without fail.
Finding out Myo Gu-eung’s escape direction wasn’t difficult.
Because he was running at full speed while scattering black poison energy in all directions.
The exact opposite direction from where he came.
Cheondok Valley.
Myo Gu-eung was running toward that place.
He was running solely with the desire to survive.
The vengeful desire to erase Cheondok Valley was no longer in his mind right now.
He had to survive first.
That monster was impossible to handle.
It seemed there would be no way to poison him unless he directly put poison into his mouth.
Though the reality wasn’t so.
Due to his lack of experience.
He couldn’t properly read the flow of the recent battle.
He just ran toward Cheondok Valley to survive.
In Cheondok Valley, there existed secret mechanisms known only to the valley master.
Something prepared for emergencies.
On that day, Myo Gu-eung.
Had been betrayed and fled recklessly without a chance to use it.
Therefore.
It would still remain unused in that state, unknown to anyone.
A place that could only be used once.
When Master had passed away.
Only Myo Gu-eung knew of its existence.
Thinking that place was his only way to live.
Myo Gu-eung ran with all his might.
Since he didn’t know when that monster would come chasing.
Was it because he had fled after losing his internal energy?
It seemed he hadn’t gone very far.
Seeing Cheondok Valley appear before his eyes so quickly.
“Sa, Sa-baek…”
Yeo Hong-gi was startled to see Myo Gu-eung suddenly appear.
He was shocked once more seeing the left arm bleeding black blood.
And was horrified upon confirming the poison energy he was emitting.
“A, avoid him!”
Yeo Hong-gi urgently shouted to Gong Dok-haeng and kicked off the ground with all his might.
Myo Gu-eung ignored Yeo Hong-gi and leaped straight toward the Central Hall of Cheondok Valley.
Kwang!
The spot where Myo Gu-eung had been running just moments before exploded with a tremendous roar.
“Tch.”
It was Ha Mu-baek.
He was slightly delayed because he had to clean up the poison energy that Myo Gu-eung had continuously leaked while chasing him.
But he couldn’t just leave that poison energy to spread.
If it continued to spread and reached the civilian houses.
This was poison from the Poison Master, on a completely different level from the Invisible Earth Poison he had initially released.
So he had to freeze and burn it as he ran.
Ha Mu-baek pulled out the sword embedded in the ground and leaped into the hall where Myo Gu-eung had hidden.
He wasn’t there.
Myo Gu-eung’s presence couldn’t be felt anywhere.
Ha Mu-baek spread his Ki Sense.
He had briefly withdrawn his Ki Sense while operating Fire Energy and Ice Energy at full power to clean up the Poison Master’s poison energy.
As Ha Mu-baek expanded his Ki Sense, he could immediately detect Myo Gu-eung’s movement.
“That direction?”
East Side.
It was the direction Myo Gu-eung was running.
And.
It was also the direction where Dang Ja-cheong and Dang Ji-yeon were running at full speed.
Ha Mu-baek looked down at the ground beneath his feet.
It seemed they had built an underground passage for emergency escape.
It would operate by mechanism.
Thud!
He stomped his foot infused with Internal Energy.
The ground shattered and collapsed downward.
Ha Mu-baek arrived at the underground level that existed one floor below.
Even looking around, there was no place that appeared to be an entrance.
Ha Mu-baek bent his knee and channeled Internal Energy into the ground.
His eyes operated the Infinite Bright Wheel Eye.
He could see the movement of Internal Energy flowing through mechanisms tangled like a spider web.
Just like it had been at the Peng Family’s Secret Vault.
However.
Soon Ha Mu-baek frowned.
Though he wasn’t deeply versed in mechanisms.
The appearance of the mechanism through which Internal Energy was currently flowing was.
‘It’s disposable.’
There was a reason why the mechanism’s entrance wasn’t visible.
It had already been sealed.
He could forcibly break through and chase.
But it was designed so the passage would collapse if he did.
He didn’t have time to waste like that.
Thud.
Ha Mu-baek shot upward and ran through breaking one wall.
It seemed faster to just chase from above ground rather than pursue someone escaping deep underground.
Rather than chasing deep underground, that guy would have to come above ground eventually.
He would target that moment.
It would have been troublesome if he didn’t know where he went.
But Ha Mu-baek could pinpoint his location with Ki Sense.
Myo Gu-eung ran quite fast.
Fast enough that Ha Mu-baek had to deploy his Lightness Skill to chase him.
Since he couldn’t know which direction the underground passage ran, Ha Mu-baek chased with slight leeway.
“Hm?”
As Ha Mu-baek ran like that, he sensed two familiar presences ahead.
It was Dang Ja-cheong and Dang Ji-yeon.
As he had trusted, they seemed to have handled things well.
The two weren’t poisoned.
Just as he was about to feel relieved.
Myo Gu-eung’s movement was getting closer and closer to the surface.
Ha Mu-baek surveyed the surroundings.
A place that could connect to underground.
“Change direction!!!”
Ha Mu-baek shouted loudly, infusing Internal Energy so Dang Ja-cheong could hear.
And he deployed his Lightness Skill at full power.
On one side of the canyon the two were just passing through.
A small cave chamber was pierced through, and Myo Gu-eung was climbing toward it.
“Hm?”
Dang Ja-cheong hesitated and turned around at Ha Mu-baek’s suddenly heard voice.
The moment Ha Mu-baek gritted his teeth and deployed Lightning Ten Thousand Li Movement to Ultimate Achievement, just arriving near that area.
Puhaaaak!
Myo Gu-eung burst out from the cave chamber.
Since he had been running at full speed, the poison energy Myo Gu-eung expelled flowed out following behind him.
“Ugh.”
While Dang Ja-cheong hesitated, startled by his sudden appearance.
“Urk.”
Dang Ji-yeon let out a groan.
She had been caught up in the poison energy Myo Gu-eung released.
Her face turned pitch black.
The Poison-Repelling Bead in her bosom emitted light to drive out the poison.
This was the first time such a phenomenon occurred.
Even when Ha Mu-baek had briefly held it to drive out Myo Gu-eung’s poison.
Though it had shown a lustrous appearance, it wasn’t to the degree of emitting light.
“Yeon-ah!”
Startled, Dang Ja-cheong tried to urgently approach Dang Ji-yeon.
But Ha Mu-baek hastily grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
“You can’t!”
With the current poison, Dang Ja-cheong would also be poisoned.
That had to be prevented.
“Kugh.”
Dang Ja-cheong gritted his teeth.
However, he immediately looked at Dang Ji-yeon and shouted.
“Yeon-ah! Move your Internal Energy. You can’t stay like that!”
He urgently began telling Dang Ji-yeon what she needed to do.
Ten Thousand Streams Return Origin Poison Technique.
While explaining that traditional formula in detail.
Hoping that Dang Ji-yeon would please operate her Internal Energy according to his instructions.
He shouted desperately.
Now.
While the Poison-Repelling Bead emitted light and tried with all its might to block the poison energy.
Dang Ji-yeon also had to respond by circulating her internal energy.
Dang Ja-cheong knew about this phenomenon that the Poison Master was displaying.
Though he never expected to actually witness it.
When the Poison Master encountered poison too difficult to handle, he would use his power to the very limit.
The persistence of that light was a bad omen.
Using power to the very end of one’s limits had an obvious conclusion.
Ha Mu-baek raised his ice energy and froze all the surrounding poison energy.
Then he gathered it all together.
Soon an ice chunk the size of a human head was formed.
Taking it with him, he kicked off the ground.
Though Dang Ji-yeon’s condition was urgent.
Right now, catching Myo Gu-eung came first.
Ha Mu-baek’s eyes, deploying Lightning Ten Thousand Li Movement to its ultimate achievement, soon spotted Myo Gu-eung’s retreating figure.
Myo Gu-eung glanced back.
Upon discovering Ha Mu-baek’s form, his face turned deathly pale.
It seemed the Absolute Poison Ring he had thrown, combining internal energy and poison essence, had dealt no damage whatsoever.
Myo Gu-eung was terrified.
His reason was paralyzed, and he followed instinct.
The desire for survival.
Once again made him pour out all his strength.
Even if it meant permanently losing part of his power.
To somehow survive.
Like a dragon shooting out its inner core as a last resort.
Myo Gu-eung gathered his internal energy and generated Gang Qi.
Poison Gang.
It wasn’t simple Gang Qi.
Within it.
Was poison essence.
Poison essence created with half the energy of Ten Thousand Year Poison Essence.
The unity of Gang Qi and poison essence.
Poison Gang Poison Essence.
“You damn persistent evil ghost bastard! Please just disappear!!!”
Along with a scream filled with rage.
Myo Gu-eung shot out the Poison Gang Poison Essence.
Toward that monster.
Ha Mu-baek, facing it.
Recognized at a glance that it wasn’t ordinary Gang Qi.
His Ki Sense was constantly warning of danger.
Ha Mu-baek felt that the harmony of three energies he had hastily deployed earlier.
This time had to be properly executed.
‘It would have been good to have one more sword…’
He sheathed his sword in its scabbard.
With only one sword available now.
Bare hands seemed better.
Flames surged from Ha Mu-baek’s right hand, taking the form of a sword.
Frost froze on his left hand as an ice sword appeared.
His dantian circulated all the internal energy Ha Mu-baek possessed throughout his entire body.
The fire sword of his right hand.
The ice sword of his left hand.
Into both of them, he poured all the energy he possessed.
Finally, even the internal energy from his dantian.
Ha Mu-baek swung both hands.
Deploying a single sword technique.
Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique Fifth Severance.
Heaven Breaking.
Simply destroying it wouldn’t be enough.
He had to completely annihilate even the poison energy that would surge afterward.
When Ha Mu-baek’s right and left hand swords merged into one, forming the shape of a giant sword.
The internal energy from his dantian transformed into Gang Qi and surged up over the sword.
The unity of three energies!
The Heaven Breaking deployed this way collided head-on with the Poison Gang Poison Essence rushing toward Ha Mu-baek.
Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!!!!!!
Along with a tremendous explosion.
Fierce storms swept in all directions.
The ground shook greatly as if an earthquake had occurred.
However.
Ha Mu-baek’s Heaven Breaking wasn’t finished yet.
It was a strike that poured out all his internal energy, the end of which even he couldn’t foresee.
Heaven Breaking devoured even the storm raging from the collision’s aftermath.
Once more.
Kwaaaaaaaang!!
Another tremendous roar as it swept away all remaining energy completely.
“Uh, uh, uh, uhhhhhhh, aaaahhh!”
In the second wave of energy that swept through.
Myo Gu-eung was caught up and sent flying.
His screams were soon buried within Heaven Breaking’s energy.
His right arm was torn off.
His left leg below the knee was severed.
Then.
Ha Mu-baek’s Heaven Breaking reached its end.
Myo Gu-eung, who had been flying endlessly.
Fell below the cliff positioned at the end.
Splash!
With that sound, he fell straight into the river flowing below the cliff.
“Huff. Huff. Huff.”
Ha Mu-baek breathed heavily.
Not only breaking the Poison Essence Poison Gang that bastard had shot out.
To completely annihilate even the poison energy afterward, he had used Heaven Breaking in overlapping layers.
It was his first attempt.
The overlapping, made possible by using all his body’s energy, was successful.
However.
He recalled the last sight he had seen of Myo Gu-eung.
“He didn’t die…”
The bastard who had lost both arms and even one leg.
But hadn’t died.
Ha Mu-baek raised a handful of internal energy and briefly circulated it.
With the hastily recovered internal energy, he deployed his lightness skill.
Thus.
Ha Mu-baek arrived at the cliff where Myo Gu-eung had fallen.
Just as he had faintly heard during the commotion, a river was flowing below.
A river flowing roughly in swirling currents.
Even falling in perfect condition, it was a place where death could not be avoided.
But one could never know what might happen.
Ha Mu-baek spread his Ki Sense to sweep around the river.
Whether he had already been swept away by the fierce current, or whether he was dead.
Myo Gu-eung’s presence could not be felt anywhere.
If he had survived, it meant he had already disappeared beyond Ha Mu-baek’s Ki Sense.
Ha Mu-baek’s face hardened stiffly.
‘He might become a future threat…’
After looking down at the river below the cliff for a moment, Ha Mu-baek turned around.
It wasn’t over yet.
He had to check on Dang Ji-yeon.
With an uneasy feeling, Ha Mu-baek kicked off the ground and deployed his Lightness Skill.
