Chapter 471. Now It’s My Turn
Sword auras emitting tremendous energy toward each other.
Blood-red blood gang and pure white white gang.
The first to move was Gae Hong-cheon.
“Explode.”
With a small mutter.
The moment the blood gang shot toward Ha Mu-baek.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!
The ground Ha Mu-baek was standing on burst forth with a massive explosion.
At the same time, countless blood gang thorns erupted from the ground.
“Disappear.”
As Ha Mu-baek quietly chanted and swung his sword, the white gang became a giant sphere and expanded in size.
Kwa-ji-ji-jik.
The blood gang thorns rising toward Ha Mu-baek shattered.
Pak. Pa-pa-pak.
The blood gang that flew toward Ha Mu-baek also stuck in the wall of white gang and stopped.
Gae Hong-cheon’s body movement disappeared.
Jji-jik.
The white gang sphere was instantly torn apart.
Gae Hong-cheon’s sword, having reached right in front of Ha Mu-baek, thrust forward.
Ha Mu-baek’s sword also moved.
Chaeng!
Deflecting once.
Chae-chae-chae-chaeng!
Ka-ka-ka-ka-kang!
The two swords moving without rest rang out with clamorous sounds.
It wasn’t just sounds they made.
Each time they clashed, massive shockwaves swept in all directions.
The debris of collapsed buildings shattered, destroyed, and scattered.
The expressions of the two wielding swords while looking at each other were utterly indifferent.
“Keu-keu-keuk. Not bad. You’ve gotten quite strong.”
“Those aren’t words I need to hear from someone who died by my hand.”
“The one who barely won through a combined attack with So Hwi-ung.”
“That bastard speaks as if he fought alone.”
During the final battle back then, several of the Blood Cult’s Ten Elders were present.
They too met their end at that time.
Kwa-ang!
The moment their emotion-filled strikes clashed.
A tremendous explosion rang out.
“That mouth of yours is still as irritating as ever.”
A killing intent rose at the corner of Gae Hong-cheon’s mouth.
“A jiangshi bastard babbling human words.”
The two provoking each other.
After years of time.
The two were fighting one-on-one for the first time.
Not war, but a duel.
A life and death duel.
A storm of transparent energy began to rage centered on Gae Hong-cheon.
Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.
Back then, red energy had surged.
Now there was no trace of it.
So if someone unknowing saw this.
They would mistake it for just wind blowing in this space.
From Ha Mu-baek’s body too, the energy of Infinite Ruyi Divine Technique rose.
Go-o-o-o-o-o-o.
Two energies entangled in midair, engaging in a battle of wills.
Ta-hat.
Ha Mu-baek kicked off the ground.
His sword moved.
First Severance. Opening Heaven.
It was the beginning of the Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique.
Heaven-Defying Destruction Twelve Blood.
The sword technique and blade technique of the Blood Cult’s strongest martial art, Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.
It met Ha Mu-baek’s sword.
Kwa-ang!
With a tremendous sound, sword clashed against sword.
Second Severance. Severing Sunset.
It was a sword that fell as if to cleave Gae Hong-cheon in one stroke.
Ku-ung.
Gae Hong-cheon’s sword stopped it.
Third Severance. Lightning Division.
Lightning split in all directions simultaneously headed toward Gae Hong-cheon.
Pa-ji-jik. Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!
A tremendous thunder burst forth.
But the blood mist blooming from Gae Hong-cheon’s sword blocked all the lightning.
It was an exchange that felt like déjà vu.
No, it wasn’t déjà vu.
It was something that had actually happened.
The final battle of the Blood Cult War.
Back then, this was how Gae Hong-cheon’s blade technique had been when So Hwi-ung and Ha Mu-baek pressed him.
Even back then.
That bastard had blocked the Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique like this.
Nevertheless, Ha Mu-baek’s sword did not stop.
Fourth Severance. Soul Crushing.
Swords closing in on Gae Hong-cheon from all directions.
They flew as if to shatter Gae Hong-cheon’s soul in one blow.
Ku-a-a-a-ang!
Gae Hong-cheon’s sword shot straight out and collided with the sword energy.
A tremendous typhoon raged.
However, Ha Mu-baek and Gae Hong-cheon.
It had no effect on either of them.
Ha Mu-baek simply continued moving his sword silently.
Fifth Severance. Heaven Breaking.
Since coming to Gyoryong Hall.
After entering a new realm.
There were only a handful of enemies who could withstand Heaven Breaking.
But Gae Hong-cheon, as if it were natural.
Withstood Heaven Breaking.
Ha Mu-baek, as if he expected as much.
Sixth Severance. World Destruction.
Without pause, he unleashed the Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique.
The sword that flew toward him with the momentum to destroy the world, seeking to erase his existence.
Gae Hong-cheon blocked it with all his might.
As if a rain of blood was falling.
Countless sword shadows.
Stopped Ha Mu-baek’s sword.
However.
The sword did not stop.
It continued advancing on the path it must take.
Seventh Severance. Wish Fulfillment.
This was the first sword form he used after entering the new realm.
No, even before.
The opponent against whom he first unleashed Seventh Severance Wish Fulfillment in actual combat was this very bastard, Gae Hong-cheon.
He was that formidable an enemy.
“Puhah!”
Gae Hong-cheon, who had gritted his teeth and blocked all of Ha Mu-baek’s swords, exhaled roughly.
Ha Mu-baek’s sword stopped for the first time.
“What’s a jiangshi bastard doing breathing for.”
“Still a tremendous sword technique. Heh. Even if I’m a jiangshi, I need to breathe. If I want to draw upon the qi energy of the atmosphere.”
Gae Hong-cheon grinned wickedly.
“But. There’s only one sword form left now, isn’t there?”
The previous battle.
He remembered that time clearly.
“Ah, was there one more?”
Gae Hong-cheon recalled the sword that had delivered his final moment.
That was certainly another sword different from the eight swords Ha Mu-baek had shown.
Ha Mu-baek looked at Gae Hong-cheon.
“You bastard. You’re different. Definitely different from back then.”
At those words.
“Isn’t that the same for you?”
Gae Hong-cheon retorted.
“It’s not that kind of dimension. You should know that too, shouldn’t you?”
Ha Mu-baek’s voice sank coldly.
At those words, Gae Hong-cheon merely smiled broadly.
“Taecho? Manhwang?”
Ha Mu-baek asked.
While fighting that bastard, he had felt it.
That bastard’s martial arts contained that qi energy.
However.
He couldn’t distinguish which of the two it was at all.
He felt it once again when blocking Wish Fulfillment just now.
Seventh Severance Wish Fulfillment had a slightly different trigram from the first six severances.
Primordial Six Divine Techniques.
Since it was a sword form imbued with the qi energy of Wish Fulfillment among them.
The previous battle.
That is.
It had become a completely different sword form from when Ha Mu-baek had not yet awakened Taecho’s power.
Yet.
Gae Hong-cheon had blocked it.
Years ago.
Just like back then.
A sword form imbued with one of the qi energies from the Primordial Six Divine Techniques.
That meant.
That bastard also possessed power equal to his.
‘How…’
That’s why he had stopped.
That bastard had died that day.
And.
Today he had awakened as a jiangshi.
But suddenly he was using power that might be Taecho or Manhwang?
Ha Mu-baek couldn’t help but be engulfed in questions.
Gae Hong-cheon looked at Ha Mu-baek.
He stretched his lips wide and grinned wickedly.
“As expected, you too seem to have obtained inhuman power. Taecho? Manhwang? Well. Honestly speaking, I don’t know what that is. One thing that’s certain is that the power I now possess is the true Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.”
It was an honest answer.
In life.
He had received the guidance of the Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.
That is.
When Ha Mu-baek put all his strength into the final strike and clashed.
When he activated the Heaven-Defying Blood Flow World-Collapsing Great Method.
[Do you desire power?]
He heard that voice.
He tried to answer yes.
But a hole was pierced through his heart.
When he opened his eyes again.
He realized that the qi energy he had felt from the voice he heard then was inherent in his body.
Not just the power of the Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi.
But the true power of the Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.
Looking back, he had felt qi energy similar to this power he had obtained a few times in the underground of the Blood Cult Main Base.
Faintly.
Since he thought it was nothing special.
He had just passed it by.
In the cave where his grandson Gae Se-ak had holed up.
Since he felt that qi energy again.
Gae Hong-cheon thought his grandson had received the guidance of blood arts.
“You don’t know Taecho and Manhwang?”
Ha Mu-baek showed a surprised expression.
He had thought the Blood Cult’s blood arts also had their origins in those things.
“Does that stuff matter. Should we continue?”
Gae Hong-cheon raised his sword.
Those words were right.
What was more important now was ending this life and death duel.
Whether Gae Hong-cheon had obtained Taecho’s power or Manhwang’s power didn’t matter.
He just needed to eliminate him.
Ha Mu-baek raised his sword again.
Eight Cuts. Mugeuk.
The sword he had unleashed in the last decisive battle burst forth once more.
That endless ultimate sword form.
Unfolded toward Gae Hong-cheon.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
Whiiiiiing!
The aftershock shook the earth.
The sword imbued with blood gang was blocking the sword of white gang.
Ha Mu-baek pushed forcefully against the clashing sword.
Gae Hong-cheon endured.
“Huhu. Is this all? You’ve become surprisingly strong, but. I’ve also become stronger.”
Gae Hong-cheon suddenly exploded with power.
Under that qi energy, Ha Mu-baek stepped back.
“Now there’s one left, wasn’t there? That day. The one that killed me?”
Though it was slightly different from that time.
In any case, Gae Hong-cheon had even blocked Mugeuk.
Ha Mu-baek made an annoyed expression.
The day after dealing with that troublesome bastard called Dokgo Ya-pae.
The one who appeared before his eyes.
Was Gae Hong-cheon.
Moreover.
He had become incomparably stronger than back then.
Right now, Ha Mu-baek was giving his all.
And he was blocking everything.
‘I still can’t use all of the Extreme Star Power though.’
The body’s balance.
The limit he could maintain that was the tenth achievement.
The eleventh achievement was still too much.
No, if it was a situation where he had to use the eleventh achievement, he would have no choice but to use it.
But not yet.
No.
Right now, Ha Mu-baek’s Ki Sense and Infinite Bright Wheel Eye were telling him.
That Ha Mu-baek.
Was half a move ahead.
Of Gae Hong-cheon.
At the current point in time.
And.
Didn’t he also have the final move?
Though there had been no progress in achieving balance.
The Abyss had become even more powerful.
Gae Hong-cheon looked at Ha Mu-baek and gestured with his hand.
“Come.”
An expression that was arrogant beyond measure.
That’s how it looked to Ha Mu-baek.
Therefore.
He unleashed what he had learned from his Master.
The secret technique.
The secret technique of the Infinite Ruyi Eight Point Sword Sea.
A sword form that melted the principles from the first cut to the eighth cut into a single sword.
Chaeng.
A sword that sliced through the space in all directions and devoured everything.
The end of what it aimed for was Gae Hong-cheon’s heart.
Chaang!
The blood gang blazed.
Creating a massive wall.
Ha Mu-baek’s sword was blocked by that wall.
Cracks spread in all directions.
It was a wall that seemed like it would collapse at any moment.
But the clear fact was.
It had succeeded in blocking Ha Mu-baek’s strike.
Gritting his teeth.
Gae Hong-cheon’s trembling figure.
Showed what state he was currently in.
Nevertheless.
He had blocked it.
“Your sword technique ends here, doesn’t it? I still have three left.”
Gae Hong-cheon had unfolded nine of the twelve blood techniques to counter Ha Mu-baek’s sword forms.
Three forms remained: the tenth blood, eleventh blood, and twelfth blood.
“Now it’s my turn.”
Gae Hong-cheon’s sword moved.
The tenth blood of Heaven-Defying Destruction Twelve Blood.
Ten Thousand Heaven Blood Rain.
A rain of blood fell.
Toward Ha Mu-baek.
Blood rain poured down, filling every space.
Ha Mu-baek’s sword moved.
Moving roughly, he struck away the blood drops falling toward him.
Gae Hong-cheon’s sword moved without rest.
Eleventh blood.
True Blood Falling Star.
A massive blood gang fell from the sky toward Ha Mu-baek.
Kwang!!!
The sword Ha Mu-baek wielded clashed head-on.
Jururururuk.
Ha Mu-baek’s body slid backward.
Ha Mu-baek frowned.
‘He’s become stronger?’
He was evenly matched with the current Ha Mu-baek who was giving his all.
“Kukukuk. Yes. You must block it. You blocked it back then too, so naturally you would block it. But what about this?”
Gae Hong-cheon held his sword with both hands.
Twelfth blood.
That day.
With that form.
So Hwi-ung, who had been fighting Gae Hong-cheon together, faced a life-or-death moment.
Ha Mu-baek had intervened and pierced a hole in Gae Hong-cheon’s heart with his final secret technique.
Therefore, he remembered it clearly.
The form that possessed absolute power.
Hyeollu (Blood Tears).
Tears of blood.
Ha Mu-baek does not know the name of that form.
However, he had the feeling he received back then.
Tears of blood.
The sorrowful tears of blood of a world heading toward destruction.
The regretful tears of blood of a collapsed world.
The tears of blood of the Alliance Leader who would fall to that form.
It was an absolute form that gave off such a feeling.
This time was the same as well.
Ha Mu-baek’s response was the same as back then.
Secret technique.
What Ha Mu-baek unleashed once again.
Clashed head-on with Gae Hong-cheon’s Twelve Blood Points Blood Tear.
Kuuuuuuaaaaaaang!
The positions of the two had switched.
Crumble.
Gae Hong-cheon’s upper garment crumbled to powder and scattered.
Another wound appeared over the heart that still remained on the sword aura.
Though it couldn’t pierce through.
It was certainly a meaningful wound.
If he had been human, that is.
However, since he was a jiangshi.
It was just a wound.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Crack!
Ha Mu-baek’s upper garment also crumbled to powder and scattered.
A long sword wound was carved from his chest to his side as blood burst forth.
Ha Mu-baek frowned as he applied pressure to blood points to stop the bleeding.
The two turned around simultaneously.
Gae Hong-cheon grinning wickedly and Ha Mu-baek with a hardened expression.
The emotions contained in their gazes as they faced each other were completely different.
