Chapter 313 – Reunion (6)
The mory of that mont vividly resurfaced.
An order ca down to deal with soone digging into the organization’s traces.
They said he might be a troubleso expert, having earned the notorious na “Sickle-slaying Demon” for cruelly killing people with a sickle.
So I made full preparations, but when I actually t him, it was beyond my expectations.
[I wondered who was snooping around, but to think it was a teenage brat who hasn’t even been weaned.]
He was young.
Not even of age.
Moreover, contrary to the order from the organization,
[You bastard… You haven’t even learned martial arts.]
[M-martial arts?]
[You don’t even know what martial arts are? Ha!]
The brat hadn’t even learned martial arts.
It was truly fascinating.
Assuming he had learned martial arts, I struck his abdon with the power of three stars.
This level of attack could make even a supre expert suffer internal injuries and possibly die, yet this brat without any internal energy endured this pain.
[Interesting. A brat who hasn’t even learned martial arts is still alive after taking a strike from …]
[Kuk, what the hell are you…]
-Stab!
[Ugh!]
So I stabbed a sword into his belly.
Even if one hasn’t learned martial arts, there are those born with innate divine strength.
This brat might have been that type of person.
In that case, there was no need to keep him alive.
[Killing you now would save from future troubles.]
-Skewer! Stab!
[Kuh!]
Not satisfied with stabbing his abdon, to make sure, I pulled out the sword and stabbed it into his left chest as well.
[You should’ve just lived quietly. Why did you have to act up and hasten your doom?]
[Haa… haak…]
I tossed the bastard aside like that.
There were many eyes watching, and I figured this was enough for him to lose his life, so I left.
But how could sothing like this happen?
The mont he took off his human skin mask and smiled, the mory of when I first saw the bastard resurfaced.
The sight of him grotesquely laughing while killing people in front of the burning village overlapped.
‘…Sickle-slaying Demon!’
Lee Gwang’s pupils trembled violently.
It was unbelievable, but I had the thought that the bastard might be alive by heavenly luck ever since seeing him at the Heaven and Earth Society.
It was because the face was identical.
As I tracked his traces, the conviction that the bastard might be alive grew stronger.
Among those who had contact with the bastard, no one suspected him based on appearance.
But they all said sothing about him seed different.
Especially those who had contact with the Wooden Eyes Swordsman.
However, since the bastard lost his life at the Forbidden Guards selection tournant, I thought it was no longer an issue to worry about.
No, until just monts ago, I absolutely couldn’t connect him to that bastard.
‘…This doesn’t make sense.’
This was sothing that couldn’t happen according to common sense. No, it was completely impossible.
The bastard hadn’t learned martial arts at all.
Unlike others, I directly confird this myself.
But what is going on?
‘It hasn’t even been half a year.’
It was astounding.
If he had reached the level of a third-rate or second-rate martial artist, I would have said he had talent despite starting late.
This wasn’t an issue that could be dismissed with re talent.
-Tremble tremble tremble!
The trembling of his hands intensified.
I prided myself on being a senior mber in the organization and had faced quite a few monsters.
But this existence before my eyes was lacking even to be called a monster.
Is it possible to reach the sixth heaven, known as the peak of the martial world, from nothing in less than half a year?
Anyone who heard this would find it absurd.
‘This is a dream.’
For a mont, Lee Gwang wondered if he was dreaming.
Then Mok Gyeong-un spoke.
“We finally et, but the reaction is different from what I expected.”
“What?”
“Are you not happy to see ?”
At Mok Gyeong-un’s words, Lee Gwang was montarily at a loss.
With such an incomprehensible pace of advancent, he was on the verge of doubting if this bastard was really that bastard. How could he be happy to see him?
Putting everything else aside, he was the very person who stabbed a sword into the bastard’s heart.
In a situation where it was obvious the bastard would see him as an enemy, welcoming him was nonsensical.
At that mont,
“How can this be…”
Guyang Sa-oh, the Eight Poison Sect Leader and patriarch of the Guyang Clan, also couldn’t hide his astonishnt.
He naturally assud it would be the Six Heavens’ top figure, but when the human skin mask was removed, a face even younger than now—no, not even of age—was revealed.
No matter how he looked, he appeared to be only 17 or 18 years old. What was going on?
Could it be that this extraordinary person had undergone rebirth or returned to a youthful state?
The puzzled Guyang Sa-oh soon asked,
“Who are you?”
“Who knows? Who could I be? This person seems to know best.”
Mok Gyeong-un smiled and looked at Lee Gwang.
Then Lee Gwang spoke with a trembling voice,
“You bastard… What the hell are you? This is sothing that absolutely cannot happen. Don’t tell you deliberately pretended to be dead back then?”
Unable to comprehend Mok Gyeong-un’s trendous pace of advancent, Lee Gwang shifted his thoughts to the idea that he had been practicing martial arts from the beginning.
Otherwise, it was hard to accept this.
At this, Mok Gyeong-un shrugged.
“How could that be? I really almost died back then. Thanks to you.”
-Swish!
With that, he slightly raised his hand.
Then the black sword that Lee Gwang had dropped, looking as if it had been charred, floated up and flew towards his abdon.
-Slash!
Lee Gwang tried to take a step back from the rushing sword.
But his feet wouldn’t move.
No matter how unusual the sword was, at this speed, it wasn’t impossible to dodge it.
However, he was so shocked that his body wouldn’t move.
As his belly was about to be pierced,
-Whoosh!
At that mont, a powerful energy infused with green poison flew in and blocked the black sword.
The one who unleashed the poison was, of course, Guyang Sa-oh.
“Since I owe you, I was going to give you at least one hole in your belly, but you’re interfering.”
Mok Gyeong-un clicked his tongue and smacked his lips.
At this, Guyang Sa-oh hurriedly shouted,
“Co to your senses! Are you going to keep being like this?”
No matter how strong the opponent was, what difference was there between being in a daze and baring one’s neck waiting for death?
At his shout, Lee Gwang snapped out of it.
‘Kuk!’
He had lost his fighting spirit for a mont due to the incomprehensible sense of relative deprivation.
Coming to his senses, Lee Gwang circulated his internal energy and instantly raised his martial power to ten stars.
Since he had reached the transformation realm, having surpassed the wall, the speed of his energy circulation was extrely fast.
-Woooong!
Using sword fingers to create a sword energy, he assud a sword-pointing stance and shouted,
“Elder. We must attack together!”
“I had the sa thought.”
-Swooooosh!
Judging from Lee Gwang’s reaction that persuasion through words was impossible, although his identity was unknown, Guyang Sa-oh also reawakened his eight poisons and steeled his resolve.
The opponent was a peerless master on par with the sixth heaven realm.
Only by attacking together with the determination to fight to the death did they have a sliver of a chance to survive.
They exchanged glances, about to seize the initiative, when Mok Gyeong-un lightly waved his hand.
-Woooong!
Then the surrounding true energy surged, and the air felt different.
Wondering what he had done, Mok Gyeong-un said,
“I’ve blocked the sound within a radius of five jang using qi.”
Block the sound?
Why would he do that?
Waiting for an opportunity to launch a joint attack, they couldn’t hide their puzzlent.
To them, Mok Gyeong-un said,
“I’ll give you just one chance.”
“Chance? What the hell are you talking about?”
“A chance for you two to survive.”
“What?”
At Mok Gyeong-un’s words, Lee Gwang furrowed his brows.
What kind of sche was this?
This bastard would consider him, who had stabbed a sword into his abdon and chest, as an enemy.
Moreover, he had revealed his identity as if he had been waiting.
Lee Gwang glanced at the true energy filling the surroundings and the masked individuals fighting outside with Mok Gyeong-un’s subordinates.
‘…Is this sothing even his subordinates mustn’t hear?’
Otherwise, there would be no reason to block the sound.
Lee Gwang discreetly glanced at Guyang Sa-oh.
eting his eyes, Guyang Sa-oh nodded as if to say they should listen for now.
No matter how skilled they were in the transformation realm and poison arts, their chances of winning against an expert of the profound realm were extrely low.
If there was even a slight room for negotiation, there was no reason to refuse.
However, to make it clear, Lee Gwang said,
“I pushed you to the brink of death. And you’re giving a chance?”
‘!?’
At these words, Guyang Sa-oh looked at Lee Gwang with surprised eyes.
How did Lee Gwang push an expert comparable to the sixth heaven to the brink of death?
It was incomprehensible.
What on earth happened between the two of them?
While he was puzzled, Mok Gyeong-un chuckled and said,
“If I wanted to kill with that, I would have killed you earlier instead of having this conversation.”
“…”
At Mok Gyeong-un’s words, Lee Gwang bit his lip hard.
This bastard had beco incomparably stronger than before and was looking down on him.
However, he couldn’t strongly deny it.
If Mok Gyeong-un had properly raised his martial power when he struck his abdon earlier, it might not have ended with just vomiting.
“You seem quite upset.”
“…”
“You should have definitely cut off my head back then instead of stabbing my chest.”
“…”
Those words truly made him regret.
He was angry at his complacency in thinking the bastard couldn’t possibly survive after stabbing his abdon and heart because he hadn’t learned martial arts.
However, Lee Gwang barely suppressed this and said,
“You ntioned giving us a chance. What is it?”
“It’s nothing much. Just answer my questions kindly.”
“Answer your questions?”
At these words, Lee Gwang and Guyang Sa-oh’s expressions darkened.
The chance he ntioned seed to be extracting information from them.
Co to think of it, the brat not only knew their organization’s emblem but also seed to know information related to their hierarchy.
Handing over information to soone like him ant betrayal.
At this, Guyang Sa-oh spoke with a heavy voice,
“Are you telling us to betray the organization and hand over information?”
“Yes. You understand well. Think of it as betrayal or whatever you want. I just need you to give the answers I want.”
“…With such a demand, did you not consider that we would fight you to the death?”
As soon as those words ended,
-Shudder!
Guyang Sa-oh’s expression froze.
Mok Gyeong-un was smiling eerily while looking at him, and the overwhelming pressure of his murderous intent made it difficult to breathe for a mont.
Is this the difference between being separated by a single wall?
As his breathing trembled, Mok Gyeong-un said with a smiling face,
“You seem to be discarding the chance too easily.”
“What?”
-Swish!
At that mont, Mok Gyeong-un’s figure disappeared.
Unable to grasp Mok Gyeong-un’s traces with just his senses, Guyang Sa-oh urgently bent his knees and leaped, spinning his poisonous palm strike towards the back with the montum.
‘Toad Poison Art. Seventh stance, Resisting Tail Clam Palm!’
The montum was like a leaping poisonous toad, enough to make an ordinary person retreat.
-Smack!
However, Mok Gyeong-un grabbed his right arm, into which his powerful poison energy and montum were poured, as if snatching it.
Then he twisted his wrist in the opposite direction.
-Crack!
The broken bone protruded from the elbow of his twisted arm.
“Aargh!”
A scream burst from Guyang Sa-oh’s mouth.
Regardless, Mok Gyeong-un grabbed his shoulder.
At the sa ti, he tried to pull his broken wrist while twisting it further.
“Stop!”
At that mont, a blue sword energy stabbed towards Mok Gyeong-un’s face.
It was Lee Gwang’s strike.
It was a strong thrust with domineering montum, but Mok Gyeong-un didn’t dodge at all and lightly extended his left palm.
-Woooong! Clang!
‘No way?’
Ripples ford, and the stabbing sword energy was deflected by the elastic force.
This was the profound principle of the Scripture of Transferring True Qi.
The mont his sword energy was deflected, Mok Gyeong-un tried to pull Guyang Sa-oh’s broken wrist again.
In an instant, Guyang Sa-oh hurriedly struck Mok Gyeong-un’s chest with his left poisonous palm.
-Bang!
It was a poisonous palm strike with the power of ten stars, infused with the poison of the Eight Poisons.
His poisonous palm strike hit squarely, but Mok Gyeong-un’s upper body slightly leaned back, then he straightened his waist again.
At that sight, Guyang Sa-oh’s face turned pale.
Despite being hit by the extrely poisonous Eight Poisons palm strike, he acted as if nothing happened. No matter how profound his realm was, wasn’t this too monstrous?
-Crack!
At that mont, as if Mok Gyeong-un was determined to pull out his wrist, he tried to yank it again.
Guyang Sa-oh cried out in shock,
“I-I’ll talk! I’ll say anything, so please stop!”
