Chapter 472. Thanks to You

 

 

“So it’s Manhwang.”

Ha Mu-baek muttered.

He could tell for certain from that exchange just now.

The power dwelling in that bastard’s martial arts right now was Manhwang.

Ha Mu-baek frowned.

This was the second Manhwang possessor he was encountering.

The first encounter.

Was different from Go Hu-rak.

They had clearly exchanged considerable attacks and defenses.

Yet that bastard’s qi energy remained unchanged.

He had faced Ha Mu-baek’s own countless attacks.

Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique.

He had faced all of this head-on, yet his qi energy was still the same?

This was absurd.

“Manhwang? Well. I wouldn’t know.”

Gae Hong-cheon answered, tilting his head.

However, the corners of his mouth were turned up.

“Jiangshi bastard. Stop playing dumb. You must be feeling it clearly right now too. No matter how much of a jiangshi you are, you couldn’t be unaware of changes in your own body, could you?”

At Ha Mu-baek’s question.

His mouth split wide open.

Dark and hideous teeth were revealed.

“I have merely achieved the realm of true Blood Demon God (Blood Demon Divine Realm). To enter a realm that was only passed down as legend… only after dying and awakening as a jiangshi. This too is amusing.”

Sticky energy swirled and rose around Gae Hong-cheon’s body.

“Blood Demon Divine Realm?”

Ha Mu-baek tilted his head.

“That’s right. This place Sanwol, where the Blood Demon God personally descended. The true power of the Blood Demon God slumbers in this place. If one achieves the Blood Demon Divine Realm, one can use that power.”

The sticky energy began to form increasingly fierce energy.

At those words, a scene flashed through Ha Mu-baek’s mind.

When he had killed Blood Demon Gae Hong-cheon.

The words he had left at the end.

‘This land alone will remain forever as Blood Demon Land,’ was it?

This land, of course, referred to Sanwol.

Sanwol Demon Forest.

Just what was this place?

The blood flowing from his wounds had stopped at some point.

Thanks to pressing acupoints to suppress the bleeding.

Ha Mu-baek raised his sword again.

If it were up to his heart.

He wanted to use Abyss right away.

But after using Abyss on Dokgo Ya-pae.

This was a power with no way back.

One that concentrated and consumed all his strength in a single sword strike.

Of course, about thirty percent of that energy would recover immediately.

But looking at Gae Hong-cheon’s current state, that would be a gamble.

If that bastard Gae Hong-cheon.

Withstood Abyss.

And if his remaining strength exceeded Ha Mu-baek’s.

It would be Ha Mu-baek who would be defeated instead.

Gae Hong-cheon also raised his sword.

“Hehe. Thank you. Thanks to you. When I was struck by that form you used back then, I was able to touch the omnipotent power of the Blood Demon God! Kahahaha.”

Of course, he had soon met his end after that.

But.

Thanks to Il-no’s wicked scheme.

Having been revived as an Asura Blood Heaven Jiangshi like this.

He had obtained that power.

He just naturally knew.

How to use the Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.

That he had achieved the realm of true Blood Demon Divine Realm.

Red blood energy surged from Gae Hong-cheon’s sword.

Pure white energy surged from Ha Mu-baek’s sword.

Kwaaaaang!

Once again, their swords clashed.

Both poured out their full strength.

Ha Mu-baek too. Gae Hong-cheon too.

Neither could gain the upper hand.

It was natural.

Currently, their realms were evenly matched.

Strictly speaking, Ha Mu-baek had a very slight advantage.

The clash from earlier had proven that.

Ha Mu-baek had landed a proper strike on Gae Hong-cheon’s heart.

Gae Hong-cheon had inflicted a wound that cut Ha Mu-baek’s upper body, but it was shallow.

The difference in their injuries was the difference in their realms.

However.

Because Gae Hong-cheon was a jiangshi.

He still showed a firm appearance despite allowing a strike to his heart.

It was a fight between human and demon, demon and human.

A soul that should have already died and disappeared.

Was clinging to a body that had become a demon.

It was because of Il-no.

After a person dies.

The forty-nine days for the soul to completely leave this world.

Before that, he had begun the great method to make Gae Hong-cheon into a jiangshi, catching that soul.

Of course, due to Ha Mu-baek’s power remaining in his heart, the process of making him into a jiangshi had hit a wall.

But he had kept the soul captured continuously.

Through the great method of making jiangshi.

Gae Hong-cheon had no memory of that process at all.

But during that time.

Gae Hong-cheon’s soul had entered the realm called Blood Demon Divine Realm on its own.

Just before death.

The question that had been heard from deep within his inner consciousness.

It was because he had given an affirmative answer to that question.

As his breath was cut off.

He had almost failed to obtain that power.

The soul that Il-no possessed.

Had gained that power from the deep unconscious state of death.

Blood Demon God Scripture.

Though he couldn’t understand what that realm truly was.

Gae Hong-cheon’s qi energy did not diminish.

Because of that.

Though he was slightly behind in realm, he was fighting Ha Mu-baek on equal terms with his overwhelming amount of qi energy.

Ha Mu-baek.

Thought that realm called Blood Demon God Scripture.

Was connected to Manhwang’s qi energy.

In the last clash just now, Ha Mu-baek had definitely felt Manhwang’s qi energy.

Eight fragments.

It was certainly one of the eight pieces.

But he couldn’t tell which piece it was.

One thing was certain – it wasn’t poison.

From now on, he needed to investigate that more closely.

Ha Mu-baek’s sword moved.

Once again unfolding Four Severance Soul Crusher.

With the momentum to shatter Gae Hong-cheon’s soul in one strike.

The power concentrated into one point burst forth.

Gae Hong-cheon blocked Soul Crusher with the sword forms of Reverse Heaven Destruction Twelve Blood.

Ha Mu-baek’s two eyes gleamed.

Ultimate Achievement Infinite Bright Wheel Eye.

With those eyes, he clearly watched the flow of Gae Hong-cheon’s qi energy.

Since jiangshi qi energy followed a different path from human internal energy.

It had been difficult to see accurately before.

But not now.

The Infinite Bright Wheel Eye deployed at ultimate achievement and Ha Mu-baek’s ki sense cooperated with each other, producing an extremely enhanced effect.

So he could see clearly.

‘Even if he has infinite internal energy, once he uses it, the flow of decrease should appear.’

And.

Most importantly.

That bastard’s qi energy wasn’t infinite.

He could definitely feel through ki sense that it was finite qi energy.

So it meant he was replenishing qi energy from somewhere right after using it.

Ha Mu-baek sought to find that.

Kwaaaaang!!

The sword containing slightly more qi energy than the internal energy Ha Mu-baek put into his sword.

Finally blocked Soul Crusher.

Ha Mu-baek’s two eyes didn’t leave Gae Hong-cheon’s abdomen.

The place where the inner core was located.

To see the flow of qi energy there with his eyes.

Gae Hong-cheon’s qi energy that had decreased quickly filled up again.

The internal energy Ha Mu-baek consumed was just consumed internal energy.

Though he was accepting qi energy through breathing and replenishing internal energy in his dantian.

There was a clear difference in that speed.

Gae Hong-cheon recovered all his qi energy in an instant.

‘Again.’

Ha Mu-baek’s sword moved.

This time, Seven Severance Wish Fulfillment.

Gooooooo.

The sword falling toward Gae Hong-cheon with the trembling of the atmosphere.

Kuaaaaaang!!!

Gae Hong-cheon blocked it as expected.

This time, both were pushed back smoothly.

And.

There was a small tremor at the corner of Ha Mu-baek’s mouth.

‘Found it.’

This time he had clearly seen the flow of qi energy.

Though it was qi energy recovery that happened in an instant.

This time only, he had seen it.

Since he had divided his sword strikes for that purpose from the beginning.

He had barely figured it out within the flow of qi energy just enough to block Wish Fulfillment.

“Sanwol Demon Forest. What is this land?”

Ha Mu-baek glared at Gae Hong-cheon and asked.

“What do you mean?”

“You bastard. You were recovering qi energy from this demon forest.”

Ha Mu-baek’s eyes gleamed sharply.

That was right.

The moment that bastard consumed qi energy.

The land of Sanwol Demon Forest, the trees, the air.

Instantly pushed qi energy into that bastard.

It was qi energy that followed a different path from ordinary martial arts.

Only then could Ha Mu-baek understand one fact.

That sticky and unpleasant feeling he felt whenever he came to Sanwol Demon Forest.

That strange feeling that made it called a demon forest.

Wasn’t only because of the jiangshi.

In this forest space itself.

Those Blood Cult bastards had pulled some trick.

That’s why.

He received that unpleasant feeling every time he entered this place.

“The land where the Blood Demon God descended. That’s all.”

Gae Hong-cheon’s sword moved as he answered thus.

This time it was his first strike.

The sword form unfolded that way was.

The final twelve blood of Reverse Heaven Destruction Twelve Blood.

Blood Tears.

Ha Mu-baek moved his sword to meet it.

The secret technique of Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique.

Kuaaaaaakwaaaaang!

With a huge explosion, both slid backward smoothly.

This time.

Neither of them sustained any injuries.

It was because they had deployed their sword forms a bit more defensively due to the previous exchange.

“I understand.”

And the corner of Ha Mu-baek’s mouth rose slightly.

This time he had definitely seen and felt it.

“This damn demon forest itself was a fragment of Manhwang.”

As enormous power was consumed.

Enormous qi energy moved.

Ha Mu-baek clearly saw and felt it within that energy.

‘Among the Eight Trigrams, Gen .’

The forest energy that this damned Sanwol Demon Forest was transmitting to Gae Hong-cheon was definitely that.

One of Manhwang’s eight fragments.

Last time, Go Hu-rak’s poison was Tae’s energy.

This time, Gae Hong-cheon’s energy is Gen’s energy.

And its nature is.

‘Darkness…’

Sanwol Demon Forest was particularly dark compared to other dense forests.

It could be because of the countless trees so thick they could be called a tree sea.

But even deeper and denser forests that could be called forest seas beyond tree seas didn’t harbor this level of darkness.

In the end.

A fragment of Manhwang.

It was the influence of that energy.

However.

‘It’s not complete.’

He could tell because he had faced Go Hu-rak.

The Manhwang energy that Gae Hong-cheon possessed was not complete.

Though he had obtained that power, it was not the complete power.

“As long as the Blood Demon God’s power is with me. You cannot defeat me. Now let’s end this. I have many things to do!”

Explosive energy burst forth from Gae Hong-cheon’s body.

If until now it felt like he was gauging his own capabilities while facing Ha Mu-baek.

Now it seemed his understanding of his own power was complete.

His momentum suggested he would crush Ha Mu-baek in one blow.

“Yes. Let’s end this.”

The slight smile on his lips deepened.

Ha Mu-baek could now be certain as well.

Since he had discovered the source of that bastard’s power.

Since he had also perfectly recognized Manhwang’s identity.

Now his hesitation had disappeared.

Though Gae Hong-cheon could infuse more energy into one sword than himself.

That too was because Ha Mu-baek’s body hadn’t found perfect balance.

There were restrictions on the power he could use.

If it had been Wuji who reached the realm of Twelve Stars.

If it had been the secret technique.

He might have been able to split that bastard’s body.

However.

To do so, he couldn’t know what would happen afterward with his collapsed body balance.

Based on his experience facing Dokgo Ya-pae.

That jiangshi bastard.

There was no guarantee he wouldn’t come back to life by reconnecting the split parts.

Indeed.

He had to turn him into powder in one blow.

Nine Cuts.

With the Abyss.

Ha Mu-baek’s sword moved.

Gae Hong-cheon’s sword was also moving.

However.

It was a movement he had never seen before.

“I also realized this thanks to you.”

Gae Hong-cheon had experienced all of Ha Mu-baek’s secret techniques three times.

Though he met death during the first experience.

By experiencing it two more times after becoming a jiangshi.

That became the catalyst for enlightenment for Gae Hong-cheon.

Heaven-Defying Destruction Twelve Blood.

He melted the principles from the first blood point to the twelfth blood point into one sword.

And struck down toward Ha Mu-baek in one blow.

‘Blood Heaven Blood World.’

Just now.

It was the technique name that came to Gae Hong-cheon’s mind.

Now Heaven-Defying Destruction Twelve Blood had become Thirteen Blood Points.

Looking at such Gae Hong-cheon’s sword.

Ha Mu-baek smoothly brought down his sword.

Nine Cuts. Abyss.

That light movement.

Generated tremendous energy and met Gae Hong-cheon’s sword.

Slash.

With a concise cutting sound.

He had just realized and created it, bringing it out to the world for the first time.

He cut through Gae Hong-cheon’s Thirteen Blood Points, Blood Heaven Blood World.

Following that.

He cut Gae Hong-cheon as well.

And.

He cut the world too.

“Kuhheok.”

A pain-filled breath burst from Gae Hong-cheon’s mouth.

Thanks to the Abyss completely devouring Gae Hong-cheon’s energy.

Truly all of Gae Hong-cheon’s energy disappeared.

Immediately.

Sanwol Demon Forest reacted.

When the forest’s energy, the darkness energy.

Was about to reach toward Gae Hong-cheon.

Ha Mu-baek recovered thirty percent of all the energy contained in the Abyss.

Immediately.

He moved his sword again.

Just before.

If he had brought down his sword vertically.

This time.

Casually, lightly.

He slashed horizontally.

Nine Cuts. Abyss.

He unleashed it once more.
