Chapter 470. One Guy Has Appeared

 

 

The walls have collapsed.

Wooden pillars lie fallen.

Ruins so deteriorated that it’s impossible to even guess what glory they once enjoyed.

Ha Mu-baek watched the scene with a face full of emotions.

After all, he himself was the one who had made this place like this.

He still clearly remembers that time when his eyes had rolled back in fury.

Everything – where he started and in what order he destroyed things.

And around when he encountered the Myeolcheon Gangsi.

In the middle of the ruins.

The largest wooden building had collapsed.

A shattered signboard.

If you put those pieces together.

The characters for Blood Demon Hall would reveal themselves.

The Blood Demon – the god that the Blood Cult revered and served.

The massive great hall that served that Blood Demon.

It was the most important and central hall in the Blood Cult.

It was also the hall where the Sect Leader resided.

Of course.

This wasn’t where Ha Mu-baek and So Hwi-ung had their final battle with Blood Cult Leader Gae Hong-cheon.

At that time, Gae Hong-cheon had personally led the Blood Cult’s forces and stood at the vanguard.

Ha Mu-baek surveyed all directions.

His Ki Sense also extended toward the underground.

“Certainly…”

He could sense the presence of countless people underground.

The problem was.

Since they weren’t coming toward the entrance, he couldn’t pinpoint where the entrance was.

Ha Mu-baek looked around.

“Still, they must have come up from underground just recently.”

The Myeolcheon Gangsi.

Those bastards were said to have come up from underground to the surface.

Then surely there would be traces left.

Ha Mu-baek surveyed all directions before moving his steps.

Step.

He placed his foot toward midair.

Step again.

He took his next step.

As if there were invisible stairs in the empty air.

Ha Mu-baek walked up into the air one step at a time.

When he reached a height of five zhang (about 15 meters).

The general landscape came into view.

Among them.

Places where there was space for a person to enter and exit.

He searched for such places.

There was no visible space.

No footprints remained either.

Just as Ha Mu-baek was about to furrow his brow.

Flap flap flap.

A crow flew in from somewhere.

“Hm?”

A crow in these ruins where there was nothing.

“Ah.”

Ha Mu-baek, who quickly realized the reason for its existence, carefully watched the crow’s movements.

The crow that flew quickly and entered between the collapsed debris soon disappeared.

Its presence was continuing toward underground.

Ha Mu-baek descended back in front of the Blood Demon Hall.

“So it was here after all.”

Ha Mu-baek grinned wickedly.

It was truly coincidental.

For a crow used for message delivery to arrive at just this moment.

Ha Mu-baek raised his fist.

If the entrance wasn’t visible.

He could just smash everything that was hiding it.

 

***

 

“Ugh. A little more. Quickly. Just a little more.”

Il-no muttered while looking at Gae Hong-cheon lying before him.

His eyes were bloodshot red.

Now it was the final stage.

Really just one inch.

If he had to express it, that’s about how much remained.

Completion was now within reach.

That’s why he was even more desperate.

He didn’t know when Ha Mu-baek.

That monster might come bursting into this place.

Of course, there was no way that bastard could know the location of this place.

But the fact that he was in Sanwol Demon Forest.

That alone made him anxious.

Rummmble.

Then.

Gae Hong-cheon’s body trembled while making a low vibrating sound.

“Oh, ooh. F-finally!!”

Il-no was overcome with emotion.

A small expectation began to appear on his face.

Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi.

With this.

Maybe they could face that monster Ha Mu-baek.

Such a vague expectation.

Flash.

In an instant.

Gae Hong-cheon’s eyes opened.

And intense light poured out.

Blood-colored light.

The surface of the stone chamber’s ceiling that received his gaze.

Crumble.

Turned to powder and scattered.

Gae Hong-cheon was staring blankly up at the ceiling.

Blink.

His fingers trembled slightly as he blinked several times.

Then moved little by little.

Eventually.

Gae Hong-cheon slowly raised his body.

He looked around this unfamiliar place.

He hadn’t yet grasped the situation accurately.

Into his eyes.

Came the sight of Il-no trembling with ecstasy.

“Il-no?”

At Gae Hong-cheon’s hoarse, cracked voice.

Il-no prostrated himself on the ground.

“Your servant, Blood Cult Sip-ro Il-no. I greet the Supreme Sect Leader!”

At his loud cry.

Gae Hong-cheon looked up at the ceiling for a moment.

His head felt heavy, but slowly began to turn.

He pulled out his last memory.

 

“This land alone shall remain forever as Blood Demon Land…”

 

Ha Mu-baek who had pierced a hole in his heart.

He had spat those words at that bastard, and his memory cut off.

He must have died.

But now he was opening his eyes and moving like this.

Before his eyes, Il-no was prostrating.

“I see… Have I become a jiangshi?”

That was the only thing he could think of.

He looked down at his chest area.

Though covered by clothes.

He could still feel it was pierced through.

“What happened?”

Gae Hong-cheon turned his head to Il-no and asked.

“Did you have means to make me into a jiangshi?”

Myeolcheon Gangsi, Guardian Deities.

He knew of their existence.

Something a Sect Leader should naturally know.

To become one, one had to possess will and master one blood technique.

But Gae Hong-cheon hadn’t done so, just met death.

In such a state, the jiangshi that could be made was obvious.

Silent Iron jiangshi.

That would be the limit.

But looking at the qi energy overflowing in his body, even Dark Blood Jiangshi would seem laughable.

“It’s called Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi. Only those who have mastered the Sect Leader’s technique can achieve this.”

At Il-no’s answer, Gae Hong-cheon frowned.

To think there were secrets in the Sect Leader’s technique that even he, the Sect Leader, didn’t know.

“Il-no. Are you the only one who knew this?”

“Yes. From Il-no to Il-no only, it’s been secretly passed down through generations.”

Nevertheless, since there had been no occasion to create an Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi until now.

Gae Hong-cheon hadn’t known this fact either.

But for him to become a jiangshi like this.

“What happened?”

He had no choice but to ask.

He could tell that the Blood Cult had been destroyed after his defeat.

But what on earth was this.

Il-no slowly began his story.

After his death.

The aspect of war.

Defeat.

The collapsed main branch and days of endurance hiding underground.

And even Ha Mu-baek’s monster-like strength.

Having heard the entire story, Gae Hong-cheon could only frown.

“In the end, all jiangshi disappeared?”

“There might be a few Death Jiangshi remaining scattered throughout Marim…”

Aside from such insignificant creatures.

All the jiangshi that could be called the Blood Cult’s true power had disappeared.

Now what remained was one Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi, Gae Hong-cheon.

“Heh, heheheh.”

He just laughed.

He didn’t even shout that eliminating all jiangshi including Myeolcheon Gangsi was impossible.

The qi energy he felt in his body was telling him.

That even his current self was capable of such things.

‘Though I’m clearly the Sect Leader, I’m at the point of not knowing what kind of place the cult is.’

Such a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Blood Cult Sip-ro.

The elders called the ten pillars of the Blood Cult.

He even thought that perhaps they weren’t below the Sect Leader, but above.

The Sect Leader was merely their puppet.

“What about I-no?”

“He died during the retreat.”

They couldn’t find the body.

They weren’t in a condition to search either.

Gae Hong-cheon frowned again.

“Then, what about Se-ak?”

His only blood relative.

He had arranged for him to escape to the underground of Blood Demon Hall if he were defeated.

“Sect, Sect Leader…”

Il-no squeezed his eyes shut.

He couldn’t bring himself to answer.

“Speak.”

A frost-like aura rose up.

“He, he passed away. Yesterday…”

Sparks flew from Gae Hong-cheon’s eyes.

“Was it Ha Mu-baek’s doing?”

“That is… during his seclusion, that place collapsed…”

Gae Hong-cheon planted both feet on the ground and stood.

“Guide me.”

That voice speaking indifferently was filled with rage.

Il-no, who had been prostrating himself, rose and carefully guided him.

Since Gae Hong-cheon’s face was covered with a face veil, no cultist could recognize his face.

In front of the cave they had arrived at.

Gae Hong-cheon gazed at that place calmly.

‘So he was guided by the Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.’

When Gae Hong-cheon nodded slightly and his qi aura softened a bit.

Flutter.

The faint sound of a crow landing in its designated spot could be heard.

“News from outside seems to have arrived.”

“Let’s go see.”

Il-no guided Gae Hong-cheon and began walking again.

He was still in a state of extreme tension.

For Gae Hong-cheon, Gae Se-ak’s death held such meaning.

He was his only blood relative.

After walking along a winding path for some time.

They entered a small room.

There was a perch, and a crow was sitting on it.

Just as he was about to reach for the message tied to its leg.

KWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG!!!!

KUKUKUKUKUKUNG!!!

Along with a tremendous explosion.

Kurururung.

The underground space shook violently.

Thudududuk.

Stone dust and dirt fell down.

“Wh-what is this.”

Il-no was startled.

Expressionless Gae Hong-cheon looked up.

“Ha Mu-baek. That bastard has come.”

Calm words.

At those words, Il-no’s face turned pale.

No way.

To think he would find this place so quickly.

It was unbelievable.

Though he thought so.

Reality was.

KWAKWANG! KUKUKUKUNG!

The continuous thunderous roars.

‘If he had been just a little later…’

Even if he had been just one day later.

Perhaps.

At the thought that the Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi would have been completely defeated by Ha Mu-baek without even being completed.

Il-no felt his liver and gall turn cold.

Gae Hong-cheon glanced at Il-no’s face, which was gradually turning deathly pale.

“I’ll be back.”

Leaving behind those words.

His body movement disappeared.

In an instant, he raced through the narrow, winding path.

KWAKWAKWANG!

He pierced through the ground and soared into midair.

The debris of Blood Demon Hall that had been cleverly concealing the entrance shattered into pieces and scattered in all directions.

“One guy came out.”

Ha Mu-baek muttered calmly at that sight.

He looked at the body movement that had soared into midair.

Hadn’t he already sensed the presence of countless people with his ki sense?

Among them was also one jiangshi.

Though it seemed to possess no particular qi energy.

What had just burst out was a jiangshi.

Probably.

The Blood Cult’s final jiangshi.

It had finally revealed itself.

Ha Mu-baek looked at the spot where Gae Hong-cheon had shot up.

“So it was there.”

He had been getting very close.

If he had just destroyed and blown away a little more debris.

He would have been able to find it.

“It’s been a long time.”

Gae Hong-cheon, standing gracefully in midair, looked down at Ha Mu-baek and spoke.

Ha Mu-baek met his gaze.

“I had a feeling, but I never thought you’d really become a jiangshi. Gae Hong-cheon.”

“I didn’t know either. Hehe.”

Around Gae Hong-cheon’s body as he answered, tremendous qi energy began to flow out.

It had no color or form.

Just formless, colorless qi energy filling the space.

Until now, he hadn’t felt any qi energy at all.

To suddenly emit such tremendous qi energy.

As expected, he was different from the other guys.

What Gae Hong-cheon was now manifesting was.

Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.

“That damn blood art is also a long time no see.”

Qi energy began to burst forth from Ha Mu-baek’s body as well.

Two strong warriors looking at each other from sky and ground, drawing up their qi energy.

Uuuuung.

From their qi energy.

The atmosphere began to tremble and cry out.

Gae Hong-cheon stretched his hand forward.

Then.

PAAAANG!

One section of Blood Demon Hall’s debris exploded and burst out as something flew toward Gae Hong-cheon’s hand.

Tak.

Gae Hong-cheon lightly caught it.

It was a crimson sword.

Gae Hong-cheon, gripping the sword, smiled coldly.

“As expected, it was still there.”

When he had set out to fight the final battle.

He had taken his blade with him.

He had left the sword behind.

His two beloved weapons.

Heaven Blood Blade and Earth Blood Sword.

Sword Aura surged up from his blade.

Crimson blood-colored Gang Qi.

Blood Gang.

Since it was formed from a jiangshi’s energy rather than internal energy.

It wasn’t called Gang Qi.

But what Gae Hong-cheon was displaying now.

Was definitely Gang Qi.

It was on a completely different level from the jiangshi they had faced so far.

A completely different existence.

“Is that really a jiangshi?”

Even though he knew it was, he couldn’t help but ask.

It was using martial arts no different from when it was alive.

While possessing overwhelming and terrifying energy incomparable to when it was alive.

“Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi. That’s what I am now. Hehe.”

“Is this Il-no’s doing?”

Pure white Sword Aura surged up from Ha Mu-baek’s sword as he spoke.

Containing tremendous energy that was in no way inferior to Gae Hong-cheon’s.
