Chapter 457. Karma

 

 

‘They targeted the castle wall?’

So Hwi-ung was startled and hastily swung his blade with full power toward the force.

‘Cunning bastards.’

Wi Ji-gun as well.

Hastily swung his sword.

Three Severing Thunder Split.

The fastest form among the Eight Severing Sword Techniques of Mugeuk and Yeoui.

Scattering lightning energy in all directions, it stretched toward Dongbang Un’s palm force.

However.

Both men were surrounded by jiangshi, their attacks coming one breath too late.

They couldn’t block their assault.

As a result.

KWAKWAKWAKWAKWA-BOOM!!!!!!

KUKUKUKUKU-THOOM!!!

A tremendous explosion rang out.

The castle wall shook violently.

“Ugh, ahhh!”

“D-dodge!”

It began to slowly crumble down.

Those nearby hastily fled.

The important thing was.

“The spell formation has been broken.”

Ma Jin-gi bit his lip and muttered.

Five zhang (about 30 meters) to the left and right of the collapsed wall.

The spell formation within that range had disappeared.

Even with reinforcement.

He had calculated it could barely block one Myeolcheon Gangsi.

But two of them had struck together.

It couldn’t withstand it.

As soon as Ma Jin-gi confirmed this, he hastily pulled out a talisman from his chest and burned it in midair.

He cut his fingertip and scattered his own blood as well.

The incantation flowing from his mouth.

He began directly casting the spell formation that had been placed on the castle wall.

He didn’t know how much of the collapsed section this could block.

But he had to do his best.

“Tch.”

So Hwi-ung clicked his tongue at this sight.

From Ma Jin-gi’s casting of the spell formation, he realized the formation had broken when the wall collapsed.

‘The strange energy that had lingered on the castle wall has disappeared around the collapsed section.’

Wi Ji-gun also felt that the spell formation had vanished.

“Everyone, cross over there and destroy the Central Plains!”

At that moment.

Chu Geum-ryeong shouted a loud command.

The jiangshi gathered toward where the castle wall had collapsed.

Since the unpleasant strange energy that had blocked their steps was gone.

Their steps were unhindered.

So Hwi-ung and Wi Ji-gun tried to stop them.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Chu Geum-ryeong and Dongbang Un blocked their path.

Along with countless hordes of jiangshi.

“Get out of the way!”

So Hwi-ung’s voice burst out filled with rage.

His Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade scattered fierce energy in all directions.

The necks of jiangshi around him were severed with clanging sounds.

Even so, one Dark Blood Jiangshi and two Silent Iron Jiangshi withstood the attack.

From behind the fallen jiangshi, Blood Jiangshi and Poison Jiangshi charged anew.

Death Jiangshi also swarmed without rest.

“These damn flies.”

As if annoyed.

Just as he was about to sweep them away.

Tremendous force aimed at So Hwi-ung’s side and burrowed in.

“Kuk.”

So Hwi-ung hastily twisted his body.

Chu Geum-ryeong began coordinated attacks with the jiangshi horde.

He was already a fairly difficult opponent one-on-one, but now that he was commanding subordinates.

So Hwi-ung gradually began to be pushed into a defensive position.

Wi Ji-gun’s situation was the same.

With two Dark Blood Jiangshi and three Silent Iron Jiangshi clinging to Wi Ji-gun, plus Dongbang Un’s attacks.

‘Quite troublesome.’

It was his honest feeling.

Since entering Gangho.

These were the strongest enemies Wi Ji-gun had faced.

Wi Ji-gun’s name wasn’t well known in Gangho.

Literally a Mysterious Master.

Thinking differently, it also meant he had never fought opponents strong enough to make his name known to the world.

During his journey through Gangho, he had faced countless villains and remnants of the Blood Cult and Demon Cult.

But none among them had reached the pinnacle realm.

Despite his realm, he had little experience in actual combat.

‘If it were the old me, I might have struggled much more.’

He had always faced opponents with an overwhelming difference in realm, crushing them.

Until that day.

That day.

The day Ha Mu-baek requested a sparring match with Wi Ji-gun to confirm his own realm.

Wi Ji-gun realized that his disciple Ha Mu-baek had surpassed him.

At the same time.

He experienced battle with a martial artist stronger than himself.

After that.

That day’s sparring with his disciple became a koan for Wi Ji-gun.

He had conducted countless mental training sessions since then, and Wi Ji-gun’s realm had also broken through barriers and advanced.

As a result.

‘Six Severing World Destruction.’

The techniques of the Eight Severing Sword Techniques of Mugeuk and Yeoui unfolded consecutively from his hands.

He was actually gaining the upper hand against six jiangshi, including Myeolcheon Gangsi Dongbang Un.

One Myeolcheon Gangsi.

Two Dark Blood Jiangshi.

Three Silent Iron Jiangshi.

Against those tremendous enemies.

 

***

 

He ran and ran.

Ha Mu-baek was currently unleashing the Neunggwang Manri-haeng at the highest level he could achieve.

Kuwakwakwakwakwang!

With tremendous air-splitting sounds, Ha Mu-baek ran straight in one direction.

The closer he got to Sanwol Demon Forest.

His ki sense was providing him with countless pieces of information.

The Alliance Leader and Master engaged in fierce battle against two Myeolcheon Gangsi.

And the hordes of jiangshi rushing toward the castle wall.

‘Something happened at the castle wall.’

Otherwise, there was no way those other than Myeolcheon Gangsi would rush toward the castle wall like that.

Gritting his teeth, Ha Mu-baek spurred himself on even more.

In fact, those weren’t the important ones.

As he drew closer, his ki sense extending into Sanwol Demon Forest was telling him.

Myeolcheon Gangsi.

There were more of them.

Six more were approaching.

And one was moving in a different direction.

‘Is it targeting the Bongma Corps main base…?’

If it was a Myeolcheon Gangsi, the Sanwol Great Wall wouldn’t be a barrier.

It could go to ransack an empty house.

The problem was.

‘It’s the strongest one.’

The one heading to the Bongma Corps was emanating an aura a dimension stronger than the other Myeolcheon Gangsi.

Ha Mu-baek’s mind raced quickly.

He was one person, not two.

He had no choice but to abandon one of the two places.

That target could only be the Bongma Corps.

Seol-ran was at the place where the Alliance Leader and Master were currently fighting.

And six additional Myeolcheon Gangsi were rushing there.

‘Karma. The Orthodox Alliance.’

Ha Mu-baek had clearly said that Sanwol Demon Forest should be erased.

That they should search thoroughly and eliminate the Blood Cult’s remnants.

Those who refused that.

Those who built the Sanwol Great Wall to preserve this place were the Orthodox Alliance.

It was an action for their own benefit and power.

But that had come back to bite them.

The Bongma Corps, one of the massive military groups belonging to the Elder Council.

Probably today, it would be annihilated.

 

***

 

“Th-they’re swarming in…”

Man Ya-do muttered in terror.

Four years since being assigned to the Bongma Corps.

He had entered and exited Sanwol Demon Forest and faced countless jiangshi.

But he had never seen jiangshi on such a tremendous scale.

Wasn’t it like a tsunami of jiangshi rushing toward the castle wall?

While he was trembling with his soul departed.

“Let’s go!”

With someone’s shout, the Maengryong Corps members grabbed their shields and charged forward.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The jiangshi’s attacks were blocked by the Maengryong Corps’ shields.

Slash. Slash.

And the cutting sounds that rang out.

The heads of Blood Jiangshi and Poison Jiangshi were falling to swords filled with sword energy.

The Poison Jiangshi were viciously spewing poison.

But the Maengryong Corps did not retreat.

They could do so because.

Ha Mu-baek had personally gone to the Tang Family territory to obtain.

The Poison Immunity Pills.

Before they knew it, the Maengryong Corps members had Poison Immunity Pills in their mouths.

There was a time limit of one hour.

But during that time, they could unleash their full power without worrying about the Poison Jiangshi’s poison.

Thus, the first wave of jiangshi was blocked by the breakwater called the Maengryong Corps and hesitated.

However.

“Kraaaang!”

A Silent Iron Jiangshi howled fiercely and leaped out.

Clang!

Black Squad’s Lee Jo blocked its path.

“They’re remarkable juniors, aren’t they? Gwi-gwang.”

Pung Geon, who had blocked the Silent Iron Jiangshi’s strike, glanced at Yu Gwi-gwang, who was assisting with his shield from the side.

Yu Gwi-gwang said nothing and silently channeled his internal energy into his shield.

“Kueoeoeo.”

Just as the Silent Iron Jiangshi was about to attack again.

Slash.

A blue blade severed its neck.

It was Gwan Ha-gyeong.

“Whew.”

As she caught her breath.

“Danger!”

Pung Geon urgently shouted.

A Silent Iron Jiangshi was flying toward her back.

Slash.

However.

That one was cut in half at the waist.

Namgung Hu stood holding a sword imbued with blue sword energy.

It was him.

“Remarkable.”

Someone from Black Squad’s Lee Jo said so sincerely.

Judging by his uniform, he was a trainee from Gyoryong Hall.

Look at the sword energy dwelling in his blade.

At least among them, Gwan Ha-gyeong was the only one who could use strong energy.

For a cadet to show such ability.

“They’re coming again!”

The moment Yeon Ha-min shouted.

Three Silent Iron jiangshi were charging at them.

Bang! Bang!

Baek Ri-pyeong and Ju U-myeong raised their swords imbued with sword energy and blocked two of them.

The remaining one was blocked by the Maengryong Corps Seventh Group’s shield.

“Hah.”

Pung Geon let out a hollow laugh at the sight.

A Maengryong Corps member wielding sword energy?

Wasn’t that saying they were stronger than him?

Just what kind of people were these?

“Snap out of it!”

With an irritated shout, Yu Gwi-gwang’s shield blocked in front of him.

Bang!

The Blood Jiangshi’s attack was blocked by the shield.

Slash.

That Blood Jiangshi was cut in half.

It was Ung-cheol’s blade.

“Aaaah, d-don’t come!”

The Silent Iron jiangshi chasing Bi Jin-hyeop had its head severed by Gwan Ha-gyeong’s blade energy.

Bi Jin-hyeop’s movements seemed to deliberately lure it in that direction.

“Hah. Impressive. I suppose I should call you Dan-ju.”

Dam Mu-heun expressed his admiration at the sight.

He knew well that all those performing so excellently had received Ha Mu-baek’s teachings.

Countless jiangshi were swarming toward them.

But their direction was limited to one narrow path.

Dam Mu-heun glanced at Ma Jin-gi.

His eyes blazed with ghostly flames as he concentrated on his sorcery.

It was thanks to him.

Thanks to the sorcery he had hastily deployed, the paths the jiangshi could approach were limited, and that place was now being defended by the Maengryong Corps, Bongma Corps, and Gyoryong Hall trainees.

Those displaying overwhelming prowess were naturally the Maengryong Corps, the Namgung siblings, and the Bongma Corps Black Squad.

Dam Mu-heun was observing with the Hocheondan members.

Reading the flow, ready to lend their strength where their help was needed.

The battle below the castle walls was growing increasingly fierce.

But it wasn’t at a level they dared to interfere with.

Dam Mu-heun continued to observe the battle situation with sharp eyes.

His face hardened stiffly.

“Let’s go!”

He urgently launched his body forward.

A blue sword energy had already formed around his blade.

And.

Bang!

The jiangshi’s hand blade and Dam Mu-heun’s sword collided with a tremendous sound.

Dam Mu-heun gritted his teeth.

He had no choice.

The one that had struck him was a Dark Blood Jiangshi.

Though he had faced these creatures during the last war too.

They were still damn strong as expected.

However.

The Hocheondan were veterans at dealing with these creatures.

While Dam Mu-heun alone might barely win after a hard-fought battle.

Six Hocheondan members rushed toward the Dark Blood Jiangshi in the meantime.

All their swords were wreathed in sword energy.

Slash. Slash. Bang! Clang!

Cutting and blocking.

An intense battle that erupted in an instant.

Just three breaths?

In about that time, the Dark Blood Jiangshi was torn to pieces and fell.

Those who caught a glimpse of this scene had their mouths hanging open.

“Ho, Hocheondan…”

“As expected…”

They were amazed by their tremendous martial prowess that they had only heard about in rumors.

“Stay focused! More are coming!”

Now that So Hwi-ung had gone down below the castle walls to fight the Myeolcheon Gangsi.

Here, where they were fighting jiangshi attacking them along the castle walls, Dam Mu-heun held the highest rank.

Following his instructions, everyone began moving in perfect coordination once again.

“You’re the Hocheondan Vice-Dan-ju, right?”

Dang Jin-san asked Dan Mok Un-rae beside him while moving his sword and shield.

Dan Mok Un-rae nodded his head.

“Then Instructor Han must be that strong too…”

Dang Jin-san muttered in amazement.

Now that he knew Ha Mu-baek and Han Seol-bing’s true identities.

He could only be amazed.

The Hocheondan showing overwhelming prowess against the jiangshi.

Dam Mu-heun’s instructions were timely, so the burden of blocking the jiangshi was reduced a bit more.

Thus.

Fierce combat continued here as well.

Dam Mu-heun glanced at the Maengryong Corps members’ mouths.

They all had poison-repelling pills in their mouths.

‘Dan-ju, you’re quite resourceful. As expected. To obtain such precious things and distribute them to everyone.’

Still, he knew that the poison-repelling pills had a time limit on their effectiveness.

They couldn’t possibly have two of such precious items.

“I’ll leave this place to you.”

After saying this to his subordinate, Dam Mu-heun’s form disappeared.

His sword, having infiltrated the horde of jiangshi, moved targeting only the Poison Jiangshi.
