Chapter 464. What a Tremendous Fellow

 

 

While Yeon Ha-min was suited for the role of calmly assessing situations and offering advice.

In chaotic situations like this, Dang Jin-san surprisingly showed excellent leadership in stepping forward to guide people.

Not just as the Squad Leader of the Seventh Group, but as if he had become the Corps Leader of Maengryong Corps in the absence of one.

These people still didn’t know that Ha Mu-baek had become the Corps Leader of Maengryong Corps and Han Seol-bing had become the Vice Commander.

There had been no time to inform them of such facts, as they had fought and immediately entered meditation.

Namgung Hu quickly reached where Hotian Dan was located and delivered the news to Dam Mu-heun.

He could see Dam Mu-heun looking at Ha Seol-ran with surprised eyes.

Dam Mu-heun nodded without any particular suspicion.

Namgung Hu returned.

“Which direction?”

At Yeon Ha-min’s question, Ha Seol-ran pointed in one direction with her hand.

While doing so, she kept glancing back repeatedly to check on Ha Mu-baek.

He still appeared to be deeply absorbed in meditation.

There was no telling when he would open his eyes.

However.

Master’s eyebrows were twitching.

It seemed like he was observing the surrounding situation.

The same was true for Jeongcheon Alliance Leader So Hwi-ung.

Time was passing while everyone remained tense.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

A loud sound of cutting through air could be heard from afar.

“They’re coming.”

Dang Jin-san muttered quietly.

At that moment.

Wi Ji-gun opened his eyes and raised his body.

So Hwi-ung and Han Seol-bing also stopped their meditation and stood up.

“What a tremendous fellow.”

Wi Ji-gun muttered while looking in the direction Ha Seol-ran was pointing.

Then he glanced at Ha Mu-baek, who was still in meditation.

“Is he trying to break through another level this time?”

Otherwise.

There was no reason for Ha Mu-baek, whose energy perception was superior to Wi Ji-gun’s, not to awaken from his meditation trance.

Wi Ji-gun examined his own body.

‘About thirty percent?’

Thirty percent of his full power.

That was exactly how much internal energy he had recovered.

So Hwi-ung and Han Seol-bing would probably have recovered even less.

The internal energy cultivation methods they had learned couldn’t compare to the Wuji Yeoui Mind Method.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The loud sound of cutting through air grew increasingly louder.

Finally.

Dokgo Ya-pae revealed himself.

“Keke. So you were here.”

He immediately rushed toward Yang Bi-chang.

With such an appetizing dantian right before his eyes.

His hand quickly aimed for Yang Bi-chang’s abdomen.

Chaeng!

However.

Wi Ji-gun’s sword blocked that hand.

“What? Who are you?”

Dokgo Ya-pae’s blood-red eyes gleamed menacingly.

Like a beast whose anticipated delicious meal had been interrupted.

Killing intent exploded from Dokgo Ya-pae’s body.

Soon after, his other hand flew forward.

Wi Ji-gun’s sword moved quickly to deflect that as well.

Kang!

Chaeng!

Kang!

Chaeng!

In an instant, more than ten exchanges of offense and defense continued.

The one who retreated was Dokgo Ya-pae.

“Hmm.”

Dokgo Ya-pae stared intently at Wi Ji-gun.

Then.

Ssaeng!

A large blade suddenly came flying.

He lightly dodged by tilting his head back, but the blade circled through the air and flew at him again.

This time too.

Dokgo Ya-pae’s fist, wrapped in dark energy, struck the blade away.

The blade that went spinning away.

Landed in the hands of So Hwi-ung, who had rushed forward at full speed in the meantime.

Mukgeum Divine Blade.

This large blade, given by Manmulryeon as a sixtieth birthday gift to So Hwi-ung, had already become his beloved weapon.

So Hwi-ung stood beside Wi Ji-gun.

“It seems we’ll have to work together, Elder.”

So Hwi-ung suggested a joint attack.

Wi Ji-gun nodded slightly.

This new opponent.

Was different from all the previous ones.

Moreover, with insufficient internal energy.

He couldn’t insist on a one-on-one fight.

Dokgo Ya-pae looked at the two men standing side by side.

No matter how he looked at it, they were preparing for a joint attack.

‘They’re strong fellows.’

He had come here only concerned about the one currently meditating over there.

But these guys were also formidable.

Dokgo Ya-pae shifted his gaze again.

At the end of it were Yang Bi-chang and the other Bongma Corps members who had consumed jiangshi inner cores.

As long as those two were protecting them.

He wouldn’t be able to get his hands on them easily.

Instead.

These people showed no interest whatsoever in the Guardian Deities who were frozen solid.

Perhaps they were confident they had completely silenced them.

Of course, it was because of the promise Ha Mu-baek made before entering energy circulation.

Dokgo Ya-pae had no way of knowing this.

He glanced toward the Myeolcheon Gangsi.

‘What a pathetic state.’

At first, he thought it was pitiful.

But seeing it directly changed his mind.

Being suppressed by such energy.

It was natural that all six couldn’t use their strength.

His gaze returned to Ha Mu-baek.

That bastard must have done this.

So Hwi-ung and Wi Ji-gun glared at Dokgo Ya-pae.

So Hwi-ung glanced back at Han Seol-bing.

“Can you trap him with a formation?”

Han Seol-bing, who had been looking at Dokgo Ya-pae, shook her head.

Though there were formations that could trap that monster.

None of the formations she could deploy immediately here would work.

To trap that bastard.

She would need a great formation like the one spread throughout Ice Heaven Palace.

One that utilized all the surrounding terrain and features.

A formation deployed with the iron rods in her possession.

Would be torn apart immediately by overwhelming force.

Like that.

As they pondered how to deal with the Myeolcheon Gangsi before them.

Dokgo Ya-pae seemed to move stealthily.

Then appeared where the other Myeolcheon Gangsi had fallen.

And immediately.

He lifted them with Void Grasping and disappeared.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwak!

Leaving only the same air-rending sound as when he appeared.

“Th-that…”

So Hwi-ung was startled.

He never imagined the enemy would rescue the Myeolcheon Gangsi instead of attacking them.

However.

Even doing that would be useless.

Since Ha Mu-baek had frozen them with ice energy.

Even that bastard couldn’t break through that.

Wi Ji-gun and So Hwi-ung, who had briefly watched the direction Dokgo Ya-pae disappeared, immediately entered energy circulation.

In a situation where they didn’t know when Ha Mu-baek would finish his energy circulation.

And they didn’t know when that bastard might return.

They had to recover their internal energy as much as possible.

 

***

 

Dokgo Ya-pae glanced back.

There was no sign of pursuit.

If those two had chased and interfered, it would have been quite troublesome.

Well.

It must have been right after facing those countless jiangshi and six Guardian Deities.

The fact that the fight had already ended with their victory was absurd in itself.

Even if they looked fine.

Their insides couldn’t possibly be unharmed.

How far had he run?

Dokgo Ya-pae stopped at what seemed like a suitable location.

And set down the six ice chunks he had brought.

Ice chunks rolling around carelessly.

Dokgo Ya-pae quietly looked down at them.

“Kihik.”

Laughter escaped him.

Inner cores.

They were definitely located in their abdomens.

Just like a dantian.

He could see the energy they possessed.

How appetizing they looked.

Dokgo Ya-pae gathered energy in his hand and stabbed directly.

Bang!

With a loud sound, the ice chunk bounced backward.

He felt a tingling sensation in his hand.

And.

The ice chunk was unharmed.

His lips twisted.

It was ice formed by more formidable energy than expected.

Eventually, Dokgo Ya-pae drew his weapon.

It was the willow leaf saber hanging from his waist.

The first time he drew his beloved weapon since awakening was merely to break ice chunks.

Though it was ridiculous.

He used his full strength.

Dark energy surged from his entire body, wrapping around the willow leaf saber.

And he struck down with full force.

Clang!

The willow leaf saber was embedded about halfway.

When he struck down once more, it split exactly in half.

The Guardian Deity’s upper and lower body were severed.

Ignoring that.

He thrust his hand in and rummaged around the abdomen.

He caught the inner core.

Dokgo Ya-pae immediately pulled it out.

It was truly appetizing and delicious-looking.

But also disappointing.

‘As expected. It was under the control of the Blood Heaven Death Spirit Soul Return Great Blood Method.’

The inner core was slightly damaged.

The Great Blood Method.

It was neither omnipotent nor possessed infinite power.

It needed power to revive silent jiangshi.

And the source was the jiangshi’s inner core.

These had experienced a state like death once at enemy hands before being revived.

Damage occurred from using the inner core’s power in that process.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem they had been revived multiple times.

The degree of damage wasn’t severe.

Dokgo Ya-pae put the inner core in his mouth without hesitation.

The inner core that went straight to his stomach came into contact with dark energy.

was absorbed into Dokgo Ya-pae.

Guardian Deity.

No, the inner core of Myeolcheon Gangsi was indeed different.

Because the amount and quality of qi being absorbed was tremendous.

It was completely different from when he absorbed the inner core stolen from Do Sim-geuk.

‘The inner cores of Silent Iron or Dark Blood Jiangshi would have been good too… but not a single one is visible…’

He had no way of knowing that all of them had met complete annihilation at the hands of Wi Ji-gun and Ha Mu-baek.

About half the time it took to completely absorb one inner core.

Dokgo Ya-pae’s face was filled with satisfaction.

Because he hadn’t expected it to be this much.

“Next.”

Taking up the willow leaf blade again.

He gathered his qi and struck down.

Crack.

Unlike before, it split in one blow.

The effect of absorbing one inner core appeared immediately.

“Hehe. Good. Just wait a little longer.”

Half an hour per inner core.

Five inner cores remaining.

Then it would be finished in an hour and a half.

Soon he would return and finish everything.

With such thoughts, he brought the newly found inner core to his mouth.

 

***

 

Ha Mu-baek was swimming in the depths of his inner self.

Due to the aftermath of recovering to the tenth level in one go.

He had unknowingly entered the Mental Image World.

This happened when he was smiling with satisfaction at reaching the tenth level.

A pure white world with nothing in it.

Ha Mu-baek could accurately contemplate his body’s condition in that place.

Though he still couldn’t use the power of Ultimate Achievement.

Now that he could use Nine Fold Abyss.

He was already at a level far surpassing his previous self.

When he could use all his power.

Even Ha Mu-baek himself couldn’t imagine how he would change.

A sword appeared in midair.

A sword within his mental image.

Ha Mu-baek reached out and grasped the sword.

And lightly swung it.

Though it was a playful movement.

What Ha Mu-baek unleashed was precisely.

Abyss.

That was it.

A sword strike that split the pure white Mental Image World in half.

The space that had opened for a moment closed again.

Ha Mu-baek nodded at that sight.

Though he didn’t know why he had fallen into the Mental Image World.

He had learned the way to leave this place.

Abyss.

He had to completely split this world with that.

Ha Mu-baek, who had been holding his sword, suddenly looked up at midair as if remembering something.

That place was also a pure white world.

“I wonder if it will be alright.”

During his energy circulation.

Ha Mu-baek had certainly felt another massive qi.

Though he had rushed here because this was the urgent place.

There was still one more Myeolcheon Gangsi remaining.

What if that one appeared before he awakened?

“If Master fully recovers his internal energy…”

He would surely be able to subdue it.

Because that was what Ha Mu-baek’s Ki Sense had perceived at that time.

Since Ha Mu-baek, trapped in his mental image, could obtain no information about external events.

He could only believe that.

Because it was something that couldn’t change in such a short time.

Hoping that Master would quickly recover his internal energy.

He had no choice but to move his sword.

He raised his sword again and brought it down.

Crack.

This time he could even hear the sound of space being split.

However.

Since he couldn’t split it completely.

It closed again.

“Hmm.”

Ha Mu-baek fell into thought for a moment.

And raised his sword again.

Crack.

This time too.

It was a failure.

Falling into thought again.

Raising his sword.

Bringing it down.

Ha Mu-baek repeated the same action.

As time passed.

Ha Mu-baek’s Abyss was becoming more and more complete.

Though it still couldn’t even reach the toes of Wuji’s technique.

 

***

 

Though the creature had disappeared.

Ha Seol-ran spread her Ki Sense wide to watch its movements.

Because she didn’t know when it might appear again.

However.

‘It, it’s gotten stronger.’

About an hour after the creature disappeared.

The creature’s qi had become more massive.

‘How… Su, surely, is that why?’

The Myeolcheon Gangsi that suddenly disappeared with the ice chunks of Myeolcheon Gangsi.

Its purpose was.

Ha Seol-ran concentrated on her Ki Sense.

To sense even the presence of the Myeolcheon Gangshi suppressed by Elder Brother’s ice energy.

Thus her Ki Sense found even the ice chunks that only emitted faint qi energy.

‘Five?!?’

One was missing.

Ha Seol-ran quickly turned her head to look at Yeon Ha-min.

“Why? What’s wrong?”

Yeon Ha-min asked calmly despite her sudden action.

Ha Seol-ran nodded and quietly spoke of what she had sensed.
