Chapter 462. Me Too
Dokgo Ya-pae is a jiangshi.
Though he possesses reason and moves according to his own will.
His essence is that of a jiangshi.
In other words, a corpse.
There was no way saliva would come out.
No matter how much he chewed with his teeth, the pill would only crumble like rice cake.
He swallowed it as it was.
He had a stomach.
But since it was that of a corpse.
It couldn’t function at all.
The crushed pill simply fell into the pouch called a stomach.
Dokgo Ya-pae was well aware of the state inside his body.
“Hmm.”
From where his dantian used to be.
Some energy that would have been internal energy moved.
And gushed out into his stomach.
The energy that enveloped the distorted pill.
Greedily absorbed the pill.
“Oho?”
Though not large.
He was able to absorb a meaningful amount of energy.
When the energy that had filled his stomach disappeared.
Residue remained.
Miscellaneous things.
They slowly rose up, traveling backwards through what used to be his esophagus.
“Ptui!”
He spat out what came up to his mouth.
Though it was good medicine made from various medicinal herbs, it was nothing but useless impurities for Dokgo Ya-pae’s body.
This time Dokgo Ya-pae pushed two elixirs from the jade box into his mouth.
Having experienced it once, this time he swallowed without chewing.
Once again black energy filled his stomach.
And absorbed the energy from the pills.
But it was a bit slower than before.
‘Is it because there are two, or because I didn’t chew?’
What was certain was that it was slower even considering the time it would take to chew.
So this time he chewed two and then swallowed.
Then it absorbed the energy at the same speed as before.
‘It seems to be because it’s mixed with impurities.’
Thinking so, Dokgo Ya-pae repeated the process of spitting out residue and absorbing the pills’ energy.
How much time had passed?
The jade box was completely empty.
Do Sim-geuk stared blankly at that sight.
Paralyzed with fear.
Suppressed by the terrifying energy Dokgo Ya-pae was emitting.
He couldn’t move a muscle.
Just standing there stupidly in a daze.
‘Th-that… what kind of thing is that…’
Even in a life-threatening situation, he felt sorry for the pills.
Since it took time to completely make the pills’ energy his own, this jade box contained all the ones he hadn’t been able to consume yet and those he needed to send to his Master.
Now it was completely empty.
When he thought of the time and effort he had put in to fill that box, something surged up from deep in his chest.
At that moment.
Dokgo Ya-pae’s gaunt hand.
Moved toward Do Sim-geuk’s chest.
‘Uh, uhk!!!!’
Whatever had been surging up instantly disappeared, replaced only by extreme terror.
‘Uh. Uhhh…’
Do Sim-geuk trembled violently.
He unconsciously squeezed his eyes shut.
That gaunt, sharp, grotesque hand.
Seemed like it would dig straight into his chest and grab his heart.
However.
Smoothly.
Dokgo Ya-pae’s hand moved gently through Do Sim-geuk’s inner pocket.
And pulled out another jade box.
The jade box containing the jiangshi’s inner cores.
Click.
The lid opened.
The inner cores packed inside came into view.
He picked up one of them and put it in his mouth.
What flowed straight into his stomach was absorbed instantly.
Not even residue remained.
The pure jiangshi inner core was truly a crystallization of pure energy.
“Good.”
Grin.
He really smiled like that.
The absorption of the inner core was instantaneous.
There was no need to chew, and the moment it entered his stomach, black energy instantly arose and absorbed it all.
“Tsk.”
It was regrettable.
Even when he was alive.
Even after awakening, it was something he had never thought of.
Just watching this guy frantically eating something for amusement?
No.
He had only tried eating one pill driven by instinct.
To think it would have such results.
Didn’t they say even dust can make a mountain?
Though it might be impossible to make a mountain from dust.
At least by absorbing everything this guy had, his energy increased by at least ten percent.
It was amazing.
To think that absorbing at most dozens of Blood Jiangshi or Poison Jiangshi inner cores would yield such results.
Even all of those combined wouldn’t be able to properly face a single Dark Blood Jiangshi.
“Don’t you have more?”
So he asked the child before his eyes.
Do Sim-geuk shook his head back and forth.
Dokgo Ya-pae stared at him intently.
And once again grinned wickedly.
“You know what.”
At those words.
“No, I don’t have….”
He hastily tried to deny it while waving both hands.
Thud.
“Kek.”
But he couldn’t.
Because Dokgo Ya-pae’s hand had pierced into his dantian.
Having stirred through Do Sim-geuk’s abdomen like that, Dokgo Ya-pae grasped his dantian and pulled it right out.
“It’s right here, isn’t it? Hm?”
Do Sim-geuk had cultivated his internal energy with elixirs made from jiangshi inner cores.
Because of that.
Even though he had completely absorbed it as his own internal energy.
In Dokgo Ya-pae’s eyes, that energy was visible.
The energy of jiangshi inner cores mixed within Do Sim-geuk’s internal energy.
Dokgo Ya-pae swallowed the dantian whole just like that.
Dark energy churned and rose up, absorbing the necessary energy.
And spat out the remaining impurities.
“Hooh?”
Not bad.
It seemed he had consumed quite a lot of jiangshi inner cores.
“Kekeke. These bastards who call themselves righteous sects doing such things. Sons of bitches.”
“Kreuk. Kreoeouk.”
Dokgo Ya-pae looked at Do Sim-geuk with cold eyes.
But he could only curl up his entire body from the pain of having his dantian ripped out and let out groans.
Swish.
With a light movement of his hand.
Do Sim-geuk’s head fell off.
Dokgo Ya-pae glanced at that sight and turned his gaze.
After dealing with this bastard and looking around.
Among those fleeing in all directions.
He could see those who had consumed jiangshi inner cores.
“There are still many left.”p>
Dokgo Ya-pae’s body disappeared as he licked his lips.
***
“Gulp.”
Someone swallowed dry saliva.
A small flame visible in the distance.
A crystallization of fire energy that looked different from Samadhi True Fire.
Because that flame Ha Mu-baek had ignited could never be ordinary.
“Disappear.”
Ha Mu-baek calmly muttered while waving his hand.
Whoooooosh!
The small flame quickly transformed into massive flames.
Becoming a fire dragon.
It soared up as if ascending to heaven.
Then fell back down to the ground.
Inside the earthen wall was instantly filled with fierce and savage flames.
“Ugh.”
That tremendous fiery energy.
Was transmitted even to the top of Sanwol Great Wall’s castle wall.
Some groaned from it.
Inside the earthen wall had truly become a fiery hell.
A space burning as if it had become a fire dragon’s lair.
“Kreuk.”
Deung Ang-cheon, Myeong Cho-jin, and the other Myeolcheon jiangshi poured out all their energy to resist the fire energy.
The flames burned for almost half an hour before disappearing.
It was quiet.
With the sound of flames burning fiercely gone.
In this wide space where so many people had gathered.
Only silence remained.
No one.
Could make any sound.
What Ha Mu-baek had just shown.
Was that overwhelming and wondrous.
The jiangshi that had been endlessly reviving through Deung Ang-cheon’s Blood Heaven Death Spirit Soul Return Great Blood Method.
Had disappeared.
They had completely vanished without leaving even ashes.
Only the weapons that had been piercing them remained stuck in the ground, still emitting light.
The weapons that maintained their original form safely even in that fiery hell.
That sight was also amazing.
Because it had been tremendous fire energy that seemed like it would melt even those weapons completely.
“The, the, the Blood Heaven Death Spirit Soul Return Great Blood Method….”
At the revealed scene.
Deung Ang-cheon muttered in a daze.
Because he never imagined it would be broken in such a way.
His body wasn’t unharmed either.
He was burned and scorched here and there by the terrible fire energy.
“Hmm. So there was such a great method.”
Ha Mu-baek nodded after hearing Deung Ang-cheon’s muttering.
And when he waved his hand.
The weapons stuck in the ground flew up into midair again.
And returned to where they originally belonged.
The Maengryong Corps, Bongma Corps, and Gyoryong Hall trainees froze as weapons suddenly flew toward them.
But as if such worries were unfounded.
The weapons went neatly to their original places.
They inserted themselves into sheaths and scabbards.
It was miraculous.
Someone was even more amazed by this.
Because they hadn’t been thrown randomly, but had accurately found each weapon’s original owner.
Ha Mu-baek looked at Deung Ang-cheon.
“We should continue, right?”
He grinned and pulled out a sword stuck in the ground.
“Uh, uuh… monster….”
It was a word that flowed out instinctively.
“Hearing such words from a real monster is quite unpleasant, isn’t it?”
Saying those words, Ha Mu-baek took a step forward.
And.
Swoosh.
A sword flew quietly.
Clang!
Myeong Cho-jin’s blade instantly blocked in front of Deung Ang-cheon.
He alone.
Appeared to have taken no major damage from that fierce fire energy.
Ha Mu-baek’s sword began to dance and move again.
Clang clang clang!
Clang! Clang!
Myeong Cho-jin faced Ha Mu-baek head-on while the remaining Myeolcheon Gangsi attacked Ha Mu-baek from all directions.
After burning and annihilating all the jiangshi.
The hands that emerged from underground to interfere had also disappeared.
Since there was nothing more to worry about.
Ha Mu-baek gave his all.
The Myeolcheon Gangsi could not dare block Ha Mu-baek’s sword.
In an instant.
Ha Mu-baek began overwhelming the six Myeolcheon Gangsi.
His sword.
Suddenly multiplied into six.
One sword, and five phantom sword auras that followed Ha Mu-baek’s movements exactly.
Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique.
Seventh Severance Yeoui.
The swords that moved according to Ha Mu-baek’s will, just like their name.
In a moment of perfect timing.
Split all six Myeolcheon Gangsi in half.
“Wh, wh, what…”
Deung Ang-cheon couldn’t immediately comprehend what had happened to his body.
“I lost…”
Myeong Cho-jin, who hadn’t spoken a single word until now, left those words and.
Split vertically and collapsed.
Then the remaining four Myeolcheon Gangsi also fell.
Just as Deung Ang-cheon’s body was about to split as well.
Dark energy arose and fused his body back together.
And the Myeolcheon Gangsi that had fallen to the ground also began to slowly fuse together, drawn by the dark energy.
The Blood Heaven Four Spirits Soul Return Great Method that Deung Ang-cheon had deployed was still in effect.
Since the Myeolcheon Gangsi were also jiangshi.
They were reviving according to that great method.
“Uh, uhhhhh.”
“Gr, grrr…”
With appearances of gradually losing their reason.
“Grrrk.”
Only Deung Ang-cheon, who hastily retreated, seemed to maintain his reason.
“At, attack!”
Still bearing the marks of being cut vertically.
Deung Ang-cheon shouted urgently.
The Myeolcheon Gangsi rushed toward Ha Mu-baek once again.
Flash.
Yeoui was deployed again.
This time it split them horizontally.
The Myeolcheon Gangsi collapsed with their upper and lower bodies separated.
Whoooosh.
Over them.
Extreme ice energy struck down.
The ice crystal energy that Ha Mu-baek used.
They froze solid just as they were writhing to fuse back together.
As if time had stopped.
Their movements came to a complete halt.
“Wh, what…”
Deung Ang-cheon looked at Ha Mu-baek with an incredulous expression.
“I’ll have to annihilate you to end this.”
Ha Mu-baek appeared instantly in front of Deung Ang-cheon using the Mugeuk Yeoui Movement Technique and grabbed his throat.
Ice energy poured out like a torrent from Ha Mu-baek’s hand, instantly freezing Deung Ang-cheon.
Deung Ang-cheon fell silent.
On this vast land.
The only one standing alone was.
Ha Mu-baek.
Just him.
Six Myeolcheon Gangsi that had become ice chunks and collapsed.
“Whew.”
Ha Mu-baek exhaled deeply.
Crumble.
The earthen wall that Ha Mu-baek had built up crumbled down.
“E, Elder Brother!!”
Ha Seol-ran was the first.
She leaped down from the castle wall and ran toward Ha Mu-baek.
Running at full speed, she threw herself into Ha Mu-baek’s embrace.
“E, Elder Brother. *sob* *sob* *sob*”
Tears burst forth naturally as she was held in Ha Mu-baek’s arms.
Ha Mu-baek stroked Ha Seol-ran’s head.
“Sorry for being late.”
It was a warm voice, but.
It lacked strength.
Ha Seol-ran immediately sensed that condition.
She pulled away from his embrace and looked at Ha Mu-baek, startled.
She hadn’t noticed during that tremendous battle, but.
Her Elder Brother’s energy that she felt through her Ki Sense was so very small.
“A, are you alright?”
“I’m a bit tired. I’ll be fine after some rest.”
Ha Mu-baek still smiled gently.
“You worked hard.”
At Wi Ji-gun’s words as he slowly approached.
Ha Mu-baek bowed his waist.
“Thank you, Master.”
Because Wi Ji-gun was with them, he could avoid worrying about Seol-ran’s safety.
Even so.
Ha Mu-baek hadn’t anticipated that something of this magnitude would happen in the Sanwol Demon Forest.
“I merely did what I had to do.”
To his disciple’s gratitude, Wi Ji-gun simply smiled.
“More importantly, is it alright to leave those things like that?”
Wi Ji-gun pointed at the frozen Myeolcheon Gangshi.
“They’ll stay like that for at least three days.”
“Why not eliminate them now?”
Han Seol-bing, who had approached at some point, asked as if genuinely curious.
“You. You came faster than expected, but do you have any internal energy left?”
Han Seol-bing shook her head at Ha Mu-baek’s question.
“Me too.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s bitter smile.
“Ah….”
Han Seol-bing let out a low exclamation.
When she thought about it, it was only natural.
After accomplishing such tremendous feats.
There was no way any internal energy would remain….
