Chapter 459. Not Too Late

 

 

“Cr, crazy…”

Chu Geum-ryeong forgot that his enemy was right before him and let out a curse.

He couldn’t help it.

Because of the scene he was witnessing right now.

The Mysterious Master was alone, wielding his sword and sweeping away countless jiangshi.

Among them were Dark Blood Jiangshi as well.

It was overwhelming martial prowess that even Chu Geum-ryeong himself couldn’t match.

The problem was that he was displaying such divine skill after fighting Dongbang Un, Dark Blood Jiangshi, and Silent Iron Jiangshi for quite some time.

Just how much power was he hiding?

Chu Geum-ryeong glanced back.

In his senses, he could feel six Guardian Deities rushing toward this place.

The distance wasn’t far.

If he could hold out just a little longer, he would be able to join up with them.

‘Is Elder Dokgo not here yet?’

Among them, the First Guardian God Dokgo Ya-pae was not present.

He had already run north and left Chu Geum-ryeong’s sensory range.

That’s what he thought.

Even so.

With himself plus six Guardian Deities.

They should be able to handle that monster.

Chu Geum-ryeong’s gaze turned toward So Hwi-ung.

He too was mesmerized by the overwhelming divine skill that old man was displaying.

Thanks to that, the battle between the two had fallen into a lull.

Chu Geum-ryeong looked around.

The Dark Blood Jiangshi and Silent Iron Jiangshi who had been helping him had all fallen.

So Hwi-ung.

He had to acknowledge it.

Though he had looked down on him, he was a master on par with himself.

A master on par with himself, who was a Guardian God that had become a Myeolcheon Gangsi.

Even if it were the Sect Leader, he had confidence he could win.

Chu Geum-ryeong looked at So Hwi-ung.

At that moment.

So Hwi-ung was also looking at Chu Geum-ryeong while raising his blade once again.

Whether stimulated by Wi Ji-gun’s divine skill.

The qi aura emanating from his body raged even more wildly.

“Shall we continue?”

The Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade began to move in a new form.

Heaven-Collapsing Demon-Annihilation.

The strongest form of the Heaven-Severing Demon-Slaying Blade, intending to finish off that damned jiangshi.

Chu Geum-ryeong read So Hwi-ung’s intent.

That’s why he too drew up his qi energy to the fullest.

Gray qi energy swirled and enveloped his body.

So Hwi-ung lightly swung his blade.

A truly light blade strike that seemed like nothing at all.

The movement seemed insignificant, but the result was different.

A storm of red blade energy became flames and swept toward Chu Geum-ryeong.

Chu Geum-ryeong swung both fists that he had been preparing.

Gray qi energy swirled and became a massive dark cloud that met the flames.

Kuwaaaaaaaang!

A tremendous explosion erupted.

The moment flames and dark clouds mixed together and a fierce typhoon swept through.

Chu Geum-ryeong rode that energy and threw his body backward.

“What?”

So Hwi-ung frowned.

He hadn’t expected him to flee in such a manner.

“I’ll see you again shortly.”

Chu Geum-ryeong smiled slyly and muttered calmly, then turned his body and kicked off the ground.

No.

He tried to kick off the ground.

Ssaeng!

Seogeak!

If not for the sword that flew at that moment and severed both his legs below the knees.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

An old man with white hair and beard, robust in build, landed between So Hwi-ung and Chu Geum-ryeong.

Wi Ji-gun.

“Huuu.”

He let out a long sigh.

His face clearly showed signs of fatigue.

A sword floating in midair.

“Keuuk.”

Chu Geum-ryeong grimaced heavily.

When exactly.

Had he launched this sword?

Even if it was a qi-controlled sword.

Such speed and stealth that he couldn’t even sense a hint of it.

“May I finish this?”

Wi Ji-gun asked So Hwi-ung.

Honestly, So Hwi-ung wanted to finish it himself.

But since it was an opponent he had already let slip away.

So Hwi-ung nodded.

At the same time, Wi Ji-gun’s sword shot up into the air.

Then flew toward Chu Geum-ryeong at high speed.

“Th, this won’t be the end! You too will follow in my footsteps…”

Kwajik.

Chu Geum-ryeong’s words could not continue any further.

Wi Ji-gun’s qi-controlled sword.

Struck right in the center of his face.

And shattered his face to pieces.

When Wi Ji-gun waved his hand once more.

The sword moved and split Chu Geum-ryeong in half.

“Huuuuu.”

Wi Ji-gun, who retrieved his sword with a deep breath, staggered slightly.

“Master!”

At that sight, Ha Seol-ran was startled and rushed over to support him.

“Thank you, Elder.”

So Hwi-ung clasped his hands together with admiration and sincerity as he spoke.

His martial prowess was truly worthy of being called divine.

“It’s not over yet.”

Wi Ji-gun’s gaze turned toward the center of the forest.

He could sense six auras rushing toward this place like mad.

So Hwi-ung’s gaze moved in that direction.

And his complexion changed.

Now even he could sense it.

“H-how…”

They had struggled this much with just two gathered here.

And now six more were approaching.

“Let’s prepare.”

Wi Ji-gun said this and turned his body.

So Hwi-ung also turned to prepare for the second battle.

Under So Hwi-ung’s command, they moved in perfect unison again, but.

They wouldn’t be of help in the new fight.

Numbers were meaningless when facing Myeolcheon Gangsi.

Only absolute masters were needed.

“Master, are you alright?”

“My internal energy has hit rock bottom… but that fellow is coming, isn’t he? We must hold out until then.”

Ha Seol-ran nodded at Wi Ji-gun’s words.

Her elder brother’s presence, whose detection was delayed because he had formed his energy sense into a sphere.

He was currently rushing toward this place at an insane speed.

The problem was.

The six monsters seemed likely to arrive a bit faster.

Wi Ji-gun soon closed his eyes and entered meditation.

To recover even a little internal energy.

 

***

 

A massive castle wall appeared before Dokgo Ya-pae’s eyes.

A wall embedded with techniques to block jiangshi.

“What pathetic nonsense.”

Dokgo Ya-pae chuckled and raised his hand.

With a light sweeping motion.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!

The castle wall exploded.

Step. Step.

Dokgo Ya-pae walked confidently through the blown-open path.

He could sense the presence of humans existing beyond this point.

The Bongma Corps fell into chaos at the sudden massive explosion.

Someone in the watchtower concentrated internal energy into both eyes and checked the castle wall.

Then shouted in shock.

“Th-the castle wall has collapsed!!!”

The confusion intensified at that cry.

It couldn’t be helped.

The Bongma Corps and Gyoryong Hall Trainees who had run with all their might had reported the emergency in Marim.

That news was immediately relayed to Do Sim-geuk.

He gritted his teeth.

In a situation where even Yang Bi-chang, who was like his staff officer, was absent.

And now even the Sanwol Great Wall had collapsed.

What that meant was clear.

A monster they couldn’t handle had broken through the castle wall and appeared.

His deliberation was brief, and his decision was resolute.

“Everyone retreat.”

“What?”

A Bongma Member was shocked at Do Sim-geuk’s decision.

“Everyone retreat at full speed in all directions. After that, gather at Cheongcheon and prepare for a counterattack.”

“D-Dan-ju.”

A subordinate tried to say something, but.

As if he had no intention of listening, Do Sim-geuk stood up from his seat and immediately ran out.

Since going as far as possible would increase the chances of survival, he acted first simultaneously with giving the order.

The subordinate left behind looked in the direction he had disappeared with incredulous eyes.

“Damn it. That bastard is the Dan-ju…”

Curses flowed out naturally.

“Retreat! Everyone retreat! Run as far as you can with all your ability!”

And he shouted loudly, infusing internal energy.

He didn’t announce the gathering point.

Because he knew it was meaningless anyway.

And he too began running at full speed.

 

***

 

Il-no hurriedly headed to the secret chamber where the Sect Leader was.

Because of the signal he felt in his dantian.

“Th-this can’t be…”

Was it a reaction to the technique being blocked for such a long time?

The slowly progressing technique had suddenly begun moving at an incredibly fast speed.

Its completion was now ninety percent.

It was amazing.

Il-no was looking down at Gae Hong-cheon’s corpse with unbelieving eyes.

“Then soon…”

The technique’s progression speed was getting even faster.

Faster technique progression beyond ninety percent.

What it meant was one thing.

Soon.

The Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi would be completed.

Il-no’s eyes were stained with ecstasy.

With the Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi.

He could surely place all under heaven beneath his feet.

He already didn’t care about Ha Mu-baek or the like.

The Myeolcheon Gangsi Guardian Deities he had awakened and sent would surely smash that damn bastard to pieces.

 

***

 

People glanced at Wi Ji-gun.

Though he had his eyes closed, absorbed in meditation.

They couldn’t forget the divine prowess he had shown just moments ago.

The magnificent sight of sweeping away all those countless jiangshi.

Though he was driven to the brink of exhaustion and is now circulating his qi.

One thing was certain.

He was stronger than Jeongcheon Alliance Leader So Hwi-ung.

To think such a mysterious master existed in Gangho.

They had naturally assumed So Hwi-ung would be the Number One Under Heaven.

They received a shock as if the world they knew was crumbling.

At that moment.

Wi Ji-gun opened his eyes.

Ha Seol-ran, who was extremely tense, looked at him.

“What’s wrong?”

Yeon Ha-min asked carefully.

“They’re coming….”

Ha Seol-ran’s gaze turned to one side.

There, having appeared at some point.

Were six Myeolcheon Gangsi.

As if they had grasped the situation immediately upon arrival.

They all raised both hands and assumed their respective martial arts stances.

It was their will to sweep away the place where these people had gathered in one strike.

Wi Ji-gun and So Hwi-ung sprang up from their positions.

Tremendous energy gathered around their sword and blade.

Kururururung!!!

The moment the torrent-like attacks of the six Myeolcheon Gangsi came flying.

Eight Severing Wuji.

Heaven-Collapsing Demon Annihilation.

Wi Ji-gun and So Hwi-ung’s strongest ultimate techniques unfolded.

At the midpoint.

They collided directly.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwang! Ururururungkwang!!!

The heavens roared and the earth trembled.

In the midst of it all, the battle between the two energies did not end.

Wi Ji-gun and So Hwi-ung gritted their teeth.

And poured out all their remaining strength.

“Just, just a little more….”

Ha Seol-ran watched that scene with an anxious heart.

However.

Two hands could not match six hands.

Gradually, the energy of the Myeolcheon Gangsi was gaining the upper hand.

The Bongma Corps, Maengryong Corps, and Gyoryong Hall cadets could clearly see that sight.

Dam Mu-heun bit his lips tightly.

He too wanted to lend a hand.

But he dared not interfere in that tremendous battle.

It would only be a hindrance.

Jurureuk.

Wi Ji-gun and So Hwi-ung’s forms were gradually pushed back.

“Aah….”

A sigh flowed from someone’s mouth.

At that moment.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!

A mad roar erupted.

All six jiangshi were sent flying backward.

The roar subsided.

Thick clouds of dust obscured their vision.

However, one thing was certain.

There had been a tremendous impact that seemed to turn the world upside down.

Silence descended.

At the sudden turn of events, people looked around with bewildered expressions.

“Ah, ah.”

Only Ha Seol-ran, with both hands clenched tightly.

Was staring at the center where the explosion had occurred.

Tears were flowing from her eyes before she knew it.

“I’m not too late.”

The calmly muttered words were hard to hear.

Due to distance and noise.

However.

There were certainly those who heard them.

“I’ll take over now. Whew.”

Wi Ji-gun let out a deep sigh and lowered his sword.

Ha Mu-baek turned his head at his master’s voice.

“I apologize for being late.”

He bowed his waist and then straightened up.

Around that time.

The dust that had thickly covered all directions had somewhat cleared.

The rest of the people also confirmed Ha Mu-baek’s appearance.

“In, Instructor!!”

Dang Jin-san shouted loudly in surprise.

“Geez, really. That guy should move faster….”

Dam Mu-heun muttered while moving his lips that he had been biting.

His eyes were smiling.

“Whew.”

So Hwi-ung simply let out a deep sigh.

“We, we’re saved.”

Pung Geon felt hope at Ha Mu-baek’s appearance.

While doing so, he patted the back of Yu Gwi-gwang, who was hanging his head low and staring blankly at the torn portrait.

“Gwi-gwang! Look! The instructor has come! We’re saved!”

Only then did Yu Gwi-gwang, with hollow dead eyes, raise his head.

At the moment of life and death, when dodging Silent Iron’s claws, his clothes tore and his daughter’s portrait fell out.

It covered Silent Iron’s face directly, blocking the creature’s vision.

Then the claws that were targeting Yu Gwi-gwang slashed the portrait instead.

In that brief gap, Gwan Ha-gyeong’s blade severed the creature’s neck.

However.

The moment his daughter’s portrait was torn in half.

His eyes died.

Because it seemed like his own end.

Right after that.

Wi Ji-gun swept away all the jiangshi.

After hearing the desperate news that followed, Yu Gwi-gwang’s head had remained hanging down.

“A portrait is just a portrait, Gwi-gwang. Rather, it saved you! And now Instructor Ha has come! That means we can live. You can also return home and meet your daughter. So hurry up and come to your senses. If you get killed by a blind jiangshi while spacing out, it’ll really be the end!”

Pung Geon shook Yu Gwi-gwang vigorously.

Only then did Yu Gwi-gwang’s eyes begin to focus little by little.

At that moment.

The six Myeolcheon Gangshi.

Gathered together again.

Ha Mu-baek faced off against them.

“These fucking bastards… there are six of them…”

His grip on his sword tightened.

Tahah!

In that instant.

The Myeolcheon Gangshi flew toward Ha Mu-baek from six directions.

They too had instinctively sensed Ha Mu-baek’s danger and immediately launched their attack.

Ha Mu-baek’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent.
