Chapter 278

Cheon Yuhwa took a few steps back and quietly looked at Lee Shin's back.

'Has he beco similar to that guy back then?'

No, the feeling itself seed a little different from back then.

The size was also still much smaller.

But it was clear that the Lee Shin in front of Cheon Yuhwa now was gradually catching up to the back of a certain man who had caused her a lot of headaches.

Just as Cheon Yuhwa had stepped back and was looking at Lee Shin, the Sword of the Earth also took a stance and quietly looked at him.

"Haa..."

And the Sword of the Sea, watching Lee Shin approach them, let out a blatant sigh.

"Hey, how about you stop struggling and just give up now?"

Saying so, the Sword of the Sea waved his hand lightly at Lee Shin.

It was a gesture like shooing away a little kid who was rushing at him on the street.

"You're all talk, just trying to buy ti, but you can't actually do anything on your own."

The interest in Lee Shin had completely faded from the Sword of the Sea's face.

"The act of putting on a strange atmosphere and pretending to have sothing up your sleeve is over now that you've shown the card of the Heavenly Killing Star, and using the information you know as a defense is also over now that your comrade has appeared."

The Sword of the Sea said so and looked at Lee Shin with eyes devoid of any emotion, as if he were just stating the facts as they were.

"You, if you fight the sa way as before from now on, you'll die imdiately."

"What, it seems more of my cards have been revealed than I thought."

Lee Shin said as if grumbling, but then shrugged his shoulders as if it were nothing.

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway."

Cheok-

"Because right now, I feel like I want to kill you very, very much."

"What kind of nonsense is this now? Why did the conversation suddenly jump to that?"

At Lee Shin's words, the Sword of the Sea looked at him with a look of disbelief and displeasure at the sa ti.

"Yeah, it's natural to think that. So I also thought about it for a while while I was flying in the sky."

Lee Shin took in the Sword of the Sea's gaze and laid out the words in his head in an exaggerated tone, as if giving a speech to a large crowd.

"I thought about wanting to kill you, and I thought about whether there was any reason to have killing intent toward you. But no matter how much I thought about it, nothing ca to mind."

Lee Shin's face, as he said that, was slightly flushed.

"But on the other hand, when I thought about it slowly, I realized there was no need to attach such a reason."

Lee Shin lightly swung the [Yagong] in his hand in the empty air.

"If you want to kill, you just want to kill. What reason is needed for that."

"That's a very selfish statent."

"I know, but there are surprisingly many who live with that kind of thought, spewing killing intent."

"Hmm, well, fine."

The Sword of the Sea said so and slung the sword he was holding over his shoulder.

"But how nice it would be if the world just worked out the way you want it to~"

As he said that, the Sword of the Sea's appearance gradually changed.

The blue aura flowing from his entire body enveloped him, changing his armor and sword.

The Sword of the Sea, wearing blue armor and holding a sword decorated with scales, looked like a great general leading the grand army of the sea.

"But the world isn't made with such a kind structure."

The Sword of the Sea, who had thus restored all the damage from the previous battle, sneered at Lee Shin.

"Do you think what was impossible a mont ago is possible now that you're exhausted? With such a shabby and small killing intent?"

"Hmm, it is a bit shabby, isn't it?"

Lee Shin said with a bright smile at the Sword of the Sea's sneer.

"But what can I do? It's my first ti doing this, so you'll have to understand."

Lee Shin said so and quietly observed the killing intent he had raised.

It was certainly much weaker compared to before.

But the killing intent flowing out from within him now was incredibly clear and lucid, and it responded imdiately and moved well according to his will.

-Hmph, it seems the ti I spent struggling to buy ti was not in vain.

Irhegue, who had noticed Lee Shin's change, looked at him and asked.

-So what exactly did you gain?

'I'll show you from now on.'

Grip-

'So just wait a little.'

Lee Shin said so to Irhegue, and at the sa ti.

Kicked off the ground and rushed toward the Sword of the Sea.

'He's putting on a big show, pretending to have sothing up his sleeve, and then just charging in without a thought.'

'The sa trick again?'

The Sword of the Sea looked down on Lee Shin as a fool and lowered his sword, taking a stance.

He had played along with Lee Shin's bluff more than enough until now.

Thanks to that, he no longer felt any particular emotion when looking at Lee Shin.

He was just annoyed by the fact that he had wasted his ti on such a guy until now.

'I can get the information from that guy's comrade. This is annoying, so I should just end it with one blow.'

The Sword of the Sea prepared his strongest possible area-of-effect attack to erase even the traces of Lee Shin's existence in this world.

He didn't make this decision simply out of anger toward Lee Shin.

What the Sword of the Sea was concerned about was the Sword of the Earth and Cheon Yuhwa, who had newly appeared in this battle.

Both were skilled individuals whose abilities even the Sword of the Sea could not ignore.

Therefore, the Sword of the Sea intended to erase Lee Shin with a wide-area attack and at the sa ti, ride that wave to gain an advantage in the upcoming battles.

The Sword of the Sea, having made his decision, released a wave-like aura that spread around him.

The aura that spread around turned into water, mixed with the water, and slowly began to draw a circle, clump together, and rotate.

A huge vortex was enveloping the space, trying to grind down Lee Shin who was inside.

Seeing it, the Sword of the Sea smiled.

Even if he used the Fla Leaf Swirling Steps, Lee Shin's escape was impossible.

Because just by tapping the water on the surface, one could not stop the flow moving in the depths of the sea.

"Die."

As the Sword of the Sea said that.

Several vortices were created, completely enveloping Lee Shin, and the vortices overlapped and overlapped, creating one huge vortex that completely swallowed his body.

Every ti the vortex rotated, the sharp edge of a sword and the form of a shark with steel-like teeth could be seen.

It was an attack containing the full power of the Sword of the Sea, who had excluded any power control to keep Lee Shin alive.

Therefore, the Sword of the Sea was shocked to see the scene unfolding before him and his eyes widened.

The full-power attack of the Sword of the Sea, it was now being cut by Lee Shin's spear.

The Sword of the Sea's pupils naturally moved toward Lee Shin's spear, which had cut his attack.

What was cloaking the pitch-black spear was a spear ki of a peculiar color, as if red and gold were mixed.

The outward appearance was no different from before.

But the Sword of the Sea's senses told him that sothing was strange about Lee Shin's spear.

The knowledge and experience he had accumulated to deal with the Sword of the Earth inford him of the sense of unease.

'What is that?'

Sword Aura.

It was the essence of a martial artist, created by the combination of the enlightennt that opens the door to the transcendent, the control of internal energy, and a powerful will that corresponds to it.

To cut the Sword of the Sea's blow so easily a mont ago, one had to at least be able to use sword aura.

But what was wrapping around Lee Shin's spear now was a power one step below that, not sword aura.

It was certainly a less dangerous fellow compared to the Sword of the Earth's sword, but...

Shudder-

To the Sword of the Sea, who handled the power of the mind as an aura user, the spear held in Lee Shin's hand now felt more dangerous and chilling than the Sword of the Earth's sword.

So much so that he unconsciously took a step back in fear.

Kill. Kill. Kill.

The ki surrounding Lee Shin's spear seed to tremble fiercely and shout so.

It is surprisingly simple for the ki surrounding a weapon to change.

Although it is not common for the ki itself to take on a fire ki or ice ki depending on the type of internal energy cultivation thod, it is not that rare either.

But he could say with certainty that this was the first ti he had seen a case like this.

For the ki itself to have a will as if it were alive, it was an absurd delusion.

But now, in front of the Sword of the Sea, such an absurd delusion had beco a reality.

'There was no ntion that the Heavenly Killing Star guys could do such a crazy thing!'

The Sword of the Sea shouted so inwardly and hastily swung his sword.

At that, a rough water that was like a tsunami on land swept the ground.

The giant trees that had their roots deep in the ground could not withstand the impact of the tsunami and were uprooted.

And Lee Shin, facing that tsunami head-on, swung his spear and cut the tsunami in front of him.

As Lee Shin cut the spear, killing intent glistened and flowed from his eyes.

But it was not the rough killing intent that ca out indiscriminately like before.

It was a refined killing intent that aid only for the Sword of the Sea's heart.

Lee Shin continued to swing his spear, imbued with killing intent, with the thought of clearing away all obstacles.

He wanted to kill the Sword of the Sea.

He was not thinking this because he was dominated by soone else's killing intent.

It was purely Lee Shin's own will, his pure killing intent.

Every ti Lee Shin approached the Sword of the Sea, he felt the nurous shackles that had been enveloping him being released one by one.

A deep smile ford on Lee Shin's lips due to the sense of liberation.

At the sa ti, Lee Shin looked ahead.

The distance between Lee Shin and the Sword of the Sea was still far.

And there were many walls blocking the way between them.

But it was possible.

It is said that the Heavenly Killing Star is a being sent down by the heavens to erase the life of this land.

The Heavenly Killing Star who thus descended to the ground usually dies, unable to overco the resistance of the world while carrying out its mission.

But what if it survives against the world and wins that fight?

Where would the fangs of the surviving Heavenly Killing Star move toward?

Toward itself, the only remaining life in this world?

Or toward the sky that sent it down to this world?

Grin-

-[Heavenly Killing]

-???

-To build a tower of corpses and reach for the sky, and to kill the sky thus reached and drag it down from its place, everything.

"If it's enough to drag down the sky and kill it, then splitting the sea in half should be a piece of cake."

Muttering so, Lee Shin continued to part the waves and extend his foot forward, thinking.

The power wielded by those who have reached the realm of the absolute, it is, in the end, a powerful will.

And until now, Lee Shin had only poured out the killing intent he had received from sothing above him as if it were his own, and had never harbored killing intent himself.

'That's why I couldn't ascend to that realm.'

But the current Lee Shin, for the first ti, was in a state of harboring his own pure killing intent to kill an enemy.

And as he moved with his own will, the world looked different.

As if he had fallen in love for the first ti, he could only see himself and the heart that must be pounding in the Sword of the Sea's chest.

He swings the spear.

He breaks the wall.

He parts the sea.

He breaks the wall.

He extends his foot.

He breaks the wall.

Lee Shin walked forward, cutting and breaking everything that blocked his path with his spear.

'I'm reaching. I'm reaching. I'm reaching.'

His heart pounds.

It felt like he was facing a surprise box, not knowing what was inside.

"Eeeek!!!"

The Sword of the Sea, seeing Lee Shin gradually approaching him, tried to use his aura.

But strangely, no aura ca out from his fingertips.

A sense of powerlessness that all his ans would not work, and the fear that the illusion he had been seeing in his mind would beco a reality.

Two emotions he had never felt since he sat in the position of the Sword of the Sea wrapped around his entire body and hindered his movents.

The two emotions were tied and tied, creating a large ribbon.

"Aha!"

Seeing him, Lee Shin cheered and extended his spear.

"I've reached."

And that spear pierced the Sword of the Sea's chest.

"Cough."

The Sword of the Sea let out a cough mixed with blood, and a small drop of blood splattered on Lee Shin's face.

Regardless, Lee Shin was smiling as if he were extrely satisfied with the current situation.
