Chapter 457 – Supre (4)
In the inner formation, the green adow had long since disappeared.
The place was nothing but ruins.
“Haa… Haa…”
Wicked Granny Cheol Su-ryeon exhaled roughly, glaring at the two avatars of Mok Gan opposing her.
Those damnable things, each having consud either the blood or essence of a spirit beast, had cultivation levels equal to or greater than her own.
If she were facing just one, she might have had a chance, but dealing with two opponents of similar strength was overwhelming.
“Cough! Cough!”
Her internal injuries must be severe, as blood ca up with each cough.
Cheol Su-ryeon looked at the black blood on her palm with a bitter smile.
‘Is this karma too?’
She never thought the evil deeds she had committed would easily disappear just because she practiced cultivation.
But now, her only desire was to shed all her burdens and go to His side, yet this happened when she was so close to the end.
‘…Maybe it’s punishnt.’
Perhaps she never had the right from the beginning.
Maybe fate was punishing her because she didn’t deserve to go to that place, said to be like a paradise, just like Him and them.
Still, there was one thing she felt she had done right.
She had saved His only remaining bloodline in the mortal world.
At least it was a comfort that she had done sothing for Him before departing.
Grrrr!
Cheol Su-ryeon gathered the remaining true qi in both hands to create a faint Formless Claw.
After all, she had once been called a great villain, so she intended to take them both down with her, even if it ant mutual destruction.
But then, the avatars of Mok Gan spoke.
“Give up.”
“You can’t defeat us.”
“I don’t know what you did, but open the door to exit the formation.”
“This is the last verbal warning.”
Cheol Su-ryeon snorted at their words and replied.
“You want to get out of here?”
“It’s the only way to save your life.”
“Oh really? But what can I do? This space he created for is a bit of a sha, but it seems this should beco your grave.”
“You’re making a decision you’ll regret.”
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s start by cutting off your limbs.”
Wooong!
With that, the two avatars of Mok Gan also raised their Invisible Swords and approached.
It seems they didn’t have high hopes from the beginning either.
anwhile, one wall completely collapsed, and the pillar supporting the formation was destroyed. The painting of the Peach Blossom Spring hanging on the crumbling thatched wall began to shake violently.
Bang! Kwakwakwabang!
As the three supre experts clashed, the surroundings were once again engulfed in the aftermath.
Trendous wind pressure and sword energy slashed in all directions, erasing even the last traces of the adow.
However, this didn’t seem like it would last long.
Unlike them, whose true qi was overflowing as if they had consud spirit essence, Cheol Su-ryeon was almost at her limit.
The reason she was barely holding on was that she was consuming her spirit origin true qi.
Knowing this, they pushed even harder.
Chachachachacha!
Cheol Su-ryeon’s expression darkened as she was pushed back.
She had intended to take them down with her, but the coordinated attacks of these avatars, who shared thoughts, were too ticulous to find an opening.
As she was pushed back relentlessly, nurous sword wounds appeared on her body.
Chwachwachwachwachwach!
‘Ah…’
It seems she won’t be able to take them both down after all.
If that’s the case, there’s no choice.
A strong killing intent flashed in her eyes.
It would be difficult, but if she sacrificed her flesh to take the bones, she could at least take one of them down.
Flinch!
Noticing her trendous killing intent, they exchanged glances and imdiately moved to cut off both her arms before she could do anything.
Grind!
Cheol Su-ryeon gritted her teeth.
Enduring the pain of her arms being cut off, she bit the neck of the left avatar, intending to tear off its head.
Just as their Invisible Swords were about to rush towards her arms…
At that very mont.
Chwak!
Suddenly, with a bloody radiance, a burst of blood demon qi exploded, severing the arm of one of the avatars wielding a Invisible Sword.
‘What is this?’
But that wasn’t the end.
The being that cut off the avatar’s arm grabbed the back of its head, smashed its face into the ground, and dragged it forward, grinding its face.
Kwaaaang! Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!
“Who?”
As the other avatar was startled and tried to respond…
Shwaaaaa!
‘What?’
A whirlwind of frost engulfed the avatar’s entire body, and an imnse cold qi arose, causing the arm holding the Invisible Sword to freeze at an incredible speed.
Feeling the sensation in its arm disappear in an instant, Mok Gan’s avatar hurriedly cut off its freezing arm like a lizard shedding its tail.
Pat!
And as it spread its body…
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Shiver!
It suddenly felt soone behind it.
Cold sweat dripped down the forehead of Mok Gan’s avatar as it sensed the trendous cold qi and power from behind.
What the hell is this?
When did such monstrous beings appear?
While caught in confusion, Cheol Su-ryeon looked at those who had instantly reversed the situation with reddened eyes.
A peerlessly beautiful woman with blood-red hair fluttering, exuding an arrogant and sharp aura, shook off the brain matter that had been ground into paste from her hand and spoke.
“Even the great Wicked Granny is finished. Getting caught up by such lowlifes when told not to kill.”
Agreeing with her mocking words, a woman with silver hair and a mysterious aura responded with a radiant smile.
“I know, right? This is why she can’t compete with us and sister for the top spot in the rankings.”
Jjeojeojeojeojeok!
As she lightly waved one hand, a blizzard was about to sweep through the surroundings.
While their appearance was welco, what brought tears to her eyes was the being who appeared next, backlit by dazzling sunlight.
From the mont he appeared, strange things began to happen.
Parurururu!
The swords held by Mok Gan’s avatars began to tremble and move on their own, without any flow of true qi.
***
The reason Jin Ye-rin called for Mok Gyeong-un was none other than because of Ghost Blade.
After Mok Gyeong-un defeated Mok Gan’s avatar and the situation cald down, she had checked on him out of concern, as he was the most severely injured.
As feared, Ghost Blade’s condition was truly the worst.
His right arm was severed, his abdon and shoulder were pierced through with severe bleeding, and of course, his internal injuries were also severe, with his internal organs filled with blood.
It was remarkable that he was even alive.
Ghost Blade, who could have died at any mont, didn’t try to circulate his qi to increase his chances of survival, but instead sought out Mok Gyeong-un.
It seed he wanted to say sothing with his last bit of strength rather than hope for survival.
As they were approaching him with Mok Gyeong-un, it happened.
“Stop.”
At Mok Gyeong-un’s words, Jin Ye-rin instinctively halted her steps, and then…
Papapapapak!
Stone swords, sharpened like thorns, shot up from the ground where they were about to walk.
If they had taken one more step, the swords would have pierced right through their feet.
Realizing there was an enemy who could completely conceal their energy, Jin Ye-rin hurriedly sent sword energy towards the ground with a sword technique.
Chwachwachwachwachwach!
The sword energy she sent burrowed into the ground, but there was no response.
However,
Bang!
As Mok Gyeong-un stomped on the ground with true step…
Kwadududuk! Kung! Kung! Kung!
The stone swords blocking their path shattered, and the sound of sothing bursting from the ground echoed.
Then, sothing erupted from the ground.
That sothing was none other than…
“Kuuu.”
It was Destruction Emperor, one of the first-tier mbers of Secret Society, spitting out black blood.
Though he had been severely injured and seemingly dead inside the formation, he had not missed the mont when Mok Gan’s avatars broke through the formation and escaped outside.
After getting out, Destruction Emperor had been recovering his demonic power and energy underground.
Then, when Mok Gan’s avatar was defeated, he attempted to attack from underground to sohow interfere with Mok Gyeong-un.
However, Mok Gyeong-un’s power had already increased beyond what it was before.
Unable to withstand the vibrations that shook the entire underground with a single true step, Destruction Emperor ultimately had to surface.
Pak!
Though in agony and coughing blood, Destruction Emperor, who had sprung up from behind Ghost Blade, grabbed his neck and shouted.
Kkwak!
“Don’t move! If you co closer, I’ll twist his neck.”
“Which do you think will be faster? That, or my sword?”
“Huh? Such overconfiden—”
Puk!
‘!?’
In that instant, a sword mark appeared on the Destruction Emperor’s forehead, and blood and brain matter burst from the back of his head.
Destruction Emperor staggered and was about to fall backward.
Seeing this, Jin Ye-rin couldn’t help but stick out her tongue in amazent.
‘When… did he do that?’
Even though she was right beside him, she hadn’t seen Mok Gyeong-un’s sword.
It was truly the essence of swift swordsmanship.
It seed he had now entered a realm that she could no longer even hope to glimpse.
A speed so fast that even the act of swinging the sword couldn’t be perceived…
Indeed, unless it was a monster like Imaemangyang, could anyone in the current martial arts world face Mok Gyeong-un?
Seureuk!
At that mont, Mok Gyeong-un’s form suddenly appeared behind Destruction Emperor, whose head had been pierced and was falling.
He should already be dead, so why did he move his body so quickly?
As she wondered this, Mok Gyeong-un…
Kwajik!
…stomped on Destruction Emperor’s face, crushing it completely.
Jin Ye-rin frowned and said,
“He’s dead. Why are you doing that?”
“He’s not dead.”
“What?”
She was about to ask what he ant when a strange sight caught her eye.
Destruction Emperor’s body was trying to move even though his face had been caved in and crushed, and the crushed flesh was rising up, regenerating at an incredible speed.
Seeing this, she realized.
‘Could it be?’
Had he consud the blood or essence of a spirit beast?
As she thought this, Mok Gyeong-un grabbed Destruction Emperor’s head rather than his face, which was trying to regenerate.
And then,
Shuuuuu!
He unleashed the Ritual of Binding.
“Kuuu.”
Destruction Emperor’s body convulsed violently.
Those who have consud the essence or blood of spirit beasts overflow with natural earth energy, giving them vitality incomparable to ordinary people.
Therefore, the only way was to make them exhaust this vitality.
One thod for this was absorption.
Although energy was now aningless to him since he had learned to handle Supre Sword, Mok Gyeong-un sucked in the demonic power and natural earth energy inside the creature.
Shuuuuu!
The demonic power could be used to help Cheong-ryeong recover.
But as he absorbed the natural earth energy inside the creature, unlike with Kang Yeom, this ti he felt the energy of the earth, that is, earth qi.
Along with this, he saw a being in his mind’s eye.
‘Ah!’
Surprisingly, it was a massive white serpent with dazzlingly white scales.
