71.

There’s no chance of winning.

‘Still, I can escape.’

It wasn’t simply baseless confidence.

I even escaped from Cheonma, didn’t I?

Of course, unlike then, the problem is that this opponent is fully intent on killing me. Hyeollu Majon also seems a bit stronger than Haewol, who was the action leader of Makyō.

‘…Should I have run?’

Sh-should I have just grabbed Dangsoso and fled when they let us go?

“Kugh!”

Kagagagak!

While pondering, I block the swinging claws along with my sword draw.

“Crazy!”

How can claws make such a sound?

I definitely intended to deflect my opponent, but it was the opposite. Due to overwhelming center of gravity and strength, I was pushed back about one jang into the air.

Whoong!

Hyeollu Majon’s claws shot toward that airspace, penetrating eerily deep toward the inside of my chest.

“Lady Peng!”

As the distance narrowed in an instant, Cheonwoo shouted loudly and drew his sword aiming at Hyeollu Majon’s back.

Clang!

Cheonwoo’s sword was deflected pathetically easily by the protective energy she wielded. On the other hand, as someone who cannot use energy projection, if those claws slashed my heart area, I would suffer irreversible wounds.

‘…Release!’

Thwoong.

I forcefully expelled the black demonic energy rotating through my entire body through my soles.

Thanks to that.

Swoosh!

The long red claws scratched through the air right in front of my chest as I barely rose once more into the air. In that state, I immediately put my feet against a nearby tree and ran vertically up toward the top while standing upright.

“Ha! You’re determined to die!”

Seeing my technique, Hyeollu Majon let out a scoff and leaped.

As she said.

Originally, for a supreme master to release internal energy for movement during combat is close to a suicide attempt. Unlike the graceful aerial movement of Hyeongyeong masters, it’s ultimately a crude imitation achieved by brutishly hammering out the dantian’s internal power.

When internal energy needed for martial arts is already lacking, consuming it so inefficiently like this would quickly render one unable to fight.

However, my case is different.

Having originally possessed internal energy one level higher, which was dramatically increased thanks to Northern Enlightenment Skill, even spending it lavishly like this is no different from scooping one bucket from a vast lake.

“Then please spare me a little!”

I answered Hyeollu Majon’s words while turning my body downward from the treetop.

Simultaneously, click.

I moved my left hand to restore my hand to its original state. Due to the nature of two-handed swordsmanship, keeping the claws extended would actually dull my senses.

The hilt of the famous sword was coolly grasped in my now smooth left hand.

Then sword draw.

And.

Cheonma Sinryeo Geombeop Chapter 3.

Divine Thunder Heaven-Breaking Stance.

Like a single bolt of lightning falling to shatter the heavens.

A vertical sword strike falling solely from top to bottom was swiftly driven down. It was an intense blow aimed at destroying the protective energy even for just a moment, thereby creating an opportunity to escape.

Swish!

Reading my intention, Dangsoso scattered throwing knives at Hyeollu Majon’s neck where her meridians were located. Simultaneously, Cheonwoo struck upward from below with a heavy sword strike.

It was a moment when three supreme masters completely surrounded her from top, bottom, left, and right. No matter how much of a late-stage Hwa Gyeong master she was, someone on the verge of transcendence, she couldn’t be completely at ease. As long as she’s human, gaps will inevitably appear.

However.

“!”

Hyeollu Majon’s legs bent in a bizarre direction.

Having stepped on empty air through internal energy release like me, she rotated both feet like a windmill and deflected Cheonwoo’s sword. The angle of the throwing knives imbued with internal energy was twisted and shot back toward Cheonwoo instead.

He moved his body quickly in shock. However, a faint groan was heard as one poisoned throwing knife grazed the tip of his shoulder. Dangsoso, who had calmly assessed the situation, approached the deflected Cheonwoo and handed him a pill.

“Swallow this.”

Cheonwoo swallowed the small pill without any suspicion.

For reference, that’s an antidote from the Dang Family. While it can’t neutralize all poisons, that one pill allows one to withstand the absolute majority of poisons that Dangsoso handles.

Understanding Dangsoso’s intention, I gritted my teeth and put all my effort into the power struggle with Hyeollu Majon.

“This demonic energy is Heavenly Horse Divine Technique…!”

Crackle!

Hyeollu Majon’s eyes widened greatly as she received the Divine Thunder Heaven-Breaking Stance that struck down vertically like lightning.

“You brat, you’re really not part of our Order!”

“I am though!”

“No you’re not!”

“I said I am!”

Right after shouting those last words loudly, the chilling claws passed by my face with only a paper’s thickness between us.

I soared into the air once more. This time it wasn’t being forcefully deflected, but an intentional movement using rebound force.

“How dare you humiliate me and even steal senior’s undead?! Don’t even dream of returning alive today!”

Just before Hyeollu Majon chased after me, I raised my left hand and bit my sleeve.

Then the antidote pill that had been finished with cloth inside entered my mouth.

Crunch!

As I chewed and swallowed it forcefully, a bitter medicinal taste spread throughout my mouth. Since internal energy was flowing roughly through all my meridians due to being in combat, the antidote components spread through my bloodstream in an instant.

Poof!

Dangsoso detonated poison.

Colorless, odorless poisonous smoke mixed with the bleak fog near Muryong Mountain spread through Hyeollu Majon’s blood-colored domain.

Blood Sea Descent seems to have the property of completely trapping air within a certain radius. Thanks to that, the poison trapped in the sealed space spreads even faster.

“Poison?”

Sensing danger, Hyeollu Majon struck away Cheonwoo’s sword and furrowed her brow.

Several exchanges of combat followed immediately after.

If I were alone, I would have been cut down long ago, but Dangsoso’s throwing knives providing exquisite support seemed to be quite irritating. Hyeollu Majon staggered slightly, then—

Rose into the air.

Hyeollu Majon, who rose high through powerful release of demonic energy, looked like a shadow of the moon. Beyond the round, bright moon, the Blood Sect’s master fluttered red cloth while emanating pitch-black demonic energy.

Unlike before, it became a composition where I looked up from below.

‘An unfavorable position.’

No matter how accomplished a martial artist, one cannot defy the absolute law of gravity.

Naturally, between someone striking down from above and someone striking up from below, the latter is at a disadvantage.

Regripping my sword, I took a running start to absorb the impact as much as possible. Then, exhaling once with a “whoo,” I switched all the meridians in my body.

I’ve never done it before.

But somehow I felt a strong conviction that I could do it.

No, I must not fail.

I must succeed.

Wolhae Swordplay Chapter 8.

Moon Transcending Heaven Wave.

From bottom to top.

Like waves of the North Sea spreading to the heavens beyond the extreme point.

All of this happened in just zero point something seconds.

—Kwaaaaang!

In midair, my sword clashed with the sword of the staggering Hyeollu Majon.

The most powerful single-point thrusting attack I could use touched her pinky claw along with internal energy condensed to its limit. The internal energy had somehow become not mere heat shimmer but materialized sword energy densely surrounding the entire blade.

I put strength into the sword wrapped in sword energy.

Then amazingly.

Really amazingly.

‘It bent!’

The firmly embedded left pinky nail of Hyeollu Majon bent with a crack. My demonic energy had temporarily pierced through the nail surrounded by strong energy.

I had successfully executed a technique of Wolhae Swordplay using the demonic energy and lightning energy of the Heavenly Horse Divine Technique. And in the most dramatic way possible!

The moment I became absorbed in combat, my heart began beating violently. It was much stronger than when I faced the Sui Luochai leader—the most fierce immersion I had felt since falling into this world.

I stretched out my internal energy like gum and pulled my body toward the tree on the opposite side. This too was a completely new attempt, but I executed it with surprising perfection.

My vision was clear. Intoxicated by the excitement of focusing solely on the opponent before me, I reacted keenly and rotated my body.

The sword drawn like an unsheathing soon mimicked another supreme sword strike.

No, I executed it perfectly.

Wolhae Swordplay Chapter 6.

Wolryun Sangcheon (Moon Wheel Ascending Heaven).

Using rotational force, internal energy amplifies from the lower body toward the upper body. I instinctively understood how Wolhae Swordplay was created.

Cheonma Sinryeo Geombeop is a sword technique of dominance.

A demonic technique called divine precisely because it can seize overwhelming victory against the weak, or martial artists of similar or slightly higher levels.

Wolhae Swordplay is the complete opposite.

The sword of Wolhae that flows with the mystery of flexibility is a sword technique for the underdog.

A sword created for the weak to overcome their weakness and survive.

The Heavenly Demon sword technique is a gentleman’s sword that permits no retreat. It traces a fierce and violent trajectory that crushes the weak.

In contrast, Wolhae Swordplay inflicts fatal wounds on opponents in order to escape.

Like a cornered rat biting a cat, the more one wields the sword of the North Sea, the deeper the martial artist falls into a state of intense focus, far surpassing their own limits.

And so.

Wolhae Swordplay Chapter 8.

Wolgeuk Cheonrang (Moon Extreme Heavenly Wave).

-Swoosh!

The sword energy of Wolgeuk Cheonrang, extremely enhanced using the rotational force of Wolryun Sangcheon, pierced Hyeollu Majon’s left chest.

At almost the same moment, her nails also dug strongly into my back. But in my absorbed state, I felt no pain whatsoever.

Instead, I twisted the sword to ensure I killed her. Twist, twist, twi-

As I raised my head, my eyes met with Hyeollu Majon, who was grinning as if her mouth would tear. Even the sclera that should have been white was stained red, making it impossible to tell where her gaze was directed—utterly eerie. I suddenly felt a chilling sensation as my heart sank.

She opened her mouth and whispered.

“Finally caught you.”
