Chapter 154 Counterattack (7)
A hazy shimr rose around the body of the old man, whose lips were trembling. The old man looked at Jaun for a mont, then began to slowly take steps, grinding his teeth.
─ CRUNCH CRUNCH
With each of the old man's steps, the ground caved in.
“My youth, my eternal life……”
The old man's lips, as he walked forward, trembled finely.
“Because of a re bastard like you……!”
─ KABOOOM!
With a loud bang, the old man's body disappeared in an instant.
‘……Fast.’
The old man, who had approached in an instant, quickly stretched out his hand towards Jaun. Jaun, who barely avoided the old man's hand, swung his sword as he was.
─ WHOOSH
The old man, who dodged Jaun's sword by twisting his waist, regained his balance and once again stretched his hand towards Jaun. A refined Yin Energy gathered in the old man's hand, emitting a blue light.
─ SWOOOOOSH
Jaun, who was watching the old man's hand flying in like a shot arrow, swung his sword.
─ SHATTER, SHATTER!
It was a powerful attack, strong enough to make his hand tingle. Jaun used the shockwave to leap back and catch his breath for a mont.
“What in the……”
The old man, who stood in his place without chasing Jaun, lowered his head with a puzzled expression. The old man tilted his head as he confird two bright red marks engraved on the side of his thin, white hand.
“How can a bastard like you block my attack and create such a rebound force?”
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Jaun, then bit his lip hard.
“This power, is a power I obtained by becoming a eunuch at the age of twelve and dedicating my entire life to martial arts, barely mastering the Kuihua Scripture. But a bastard like you, how!”
The old man, who was trembling with clenched fists, kicked off the ground again and rushed towards Jaun.
─ RUMBLE
The old man, who had rushed in with the speed of lightning, greatly swung his hand towards the empty air with an amplified energy.
[Yin Transforming Chaotic Flower]
The old man's hand, which had been slowly accelerating, began to move so fast it was invisible, and a trendous number of palm shadows montarily covered the sky.
─ WHOOOOOSH
Behind the white, slender hand shadows that filled his vision, the old man's distorted face could be seen. Jaun took a deep breath and extended his sword forward.
[Heavenly Killing Demon Sword, Third Form. Myriad Changes]
The shadow of Jaun's sword, which was extending forward, blossod in an instant like a firebomb exploding. Countless shadows of Jaun's sword flew and pierced each of the old man's palm shadows that filled the air.
─ KABOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The two were pushed back at the sa ti. The old man, who was looking at Jaun who had blocked his technique, gaped.
“……It wasn't a fluke. You really, possessed that much power.”
The old man, who was looking at Jaun with an incomprehensible gaze, clenched his jaw. The old man's aura grew colder and colder. The old man, who was glaring at Jaun, turned his head back and looked at the Squad Leaders.
“Perform the Body-to-Body Heart Transmission at once!”
At the old man's words, the eight Squad Leaders who were watching the two's confrontation all began to raise their energy at once. At the sa ti, the old man slowly extended his hand forward.
─ SWOOOOOOSH
The secret technique of the Eastern Depot, the Body-to-Body Heart Transmission, once again revealed itself. The refined Yin Energy that spread out from the Squad Leaders' bodies began to pour into the old man at a rapid speed.
The old man, who raised his hand, where a bluish light had gathered, opened his mouth again.
“Never underestimate him, and aim for that bastard! If we just take care of him here, there is still a chance for us. Bring
that bastard's head, even if you have to trade your lives for it!”
At the old man's sharp cry, even the Eastern Depot martial artists who were guarding Prince Yeomseong all rushed towards Jaun.
The Admiral of the Eastern Depot and the eight Squad Leaders guarding him. Plus the Eastern Depot martial artists who were around Prince Yeomseong.
Dozens of people were rushing towards Jaun alone.
As Jaun tried to raise his energy, the old man spread his palm wide and extended it towards Jaun.
“Where do you think you're going!”
A vicious Yin Energy, combining the Admiral of the Eastern Depot's energy with that of the eight Squad Leaders, began to pour into Jaun.
At first, their energy, which spread out like thin silver threads and coiled around Jaun's body, gradually increased its montum, and soon beca a thick chain that seed capable of binding even Mount Tai, pressing down on Jaun's entire body.
─ HISSSSSSS
As the old man's energy and Jaun's body collided, the air burned, and hazy smoke rose.
The old man's clothes, who was fully receiving the Squad Leaders' energy and pouring it towards Jaun, fluttered wildly.
“Pay for the cri of interfering with the grand plan without knowing your place, with your life!”
The old man bit his lip hard and began to concentrate his energy on Jaun. Jaun, who was receiving the old man's energy, quickly scanned the situation to the side.
Since Jaun had drawn out the Admiral of the Eastern Depot, and with him, eight Squad Leaders and a hundred Eastern Depot mbers had also left the battlefield, the remaining Eastern Depot martial artists were being helplessly pushed back by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
‘……One tea ti.’
It seed that if he held out for about the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Embroidered Uniform Guard could break through all the remaining Eastern Depot martial artists. In the end, victory or defeat hung on whether he could endure this one tea ti or not.
‘Hoo.’
Jaun took a deep breath amidst the old man's energy that was pressing down on his whole body and began to draw upon the Reverse Heaven Asura Art.
─ GRIND
THUMP THUMP.
With the sound of Jaun's wildly beating heart, a dense Demonic Energy rose from his body.
─ THUD, THUD
Jaun's Demonic Energy collided with the old man's energy, creating a strange sound. Jaun's gradually growing Demonic Energy began to push back the old man's energy.
─ HISSSSSSS
The refined Yin Energy of the Eastern Depot and Jaun's Demonic Energy t, creating a thick fog.
The old man's energy, which had drawn in the energy of the eight Squad Leaders through the Body-to-Body Heart Transmission and made it into a single power, was harder than expected, but it was not enough to overco Jaun's energy.
‘It's not impossible to break through… but there's no need to force it. Let's conserve strength and wait for the right mont.’
Demonic Energy began to accumulate layer by layer around Jaun's body.
Jaun raised his sword diagonally into a defensive stance and continuously condensed the gathered Demonic Energy.
─ KIIIIING
The Demon Dragon Robe also stopped fluttering and clung to Jaun's body. Before long, the Eastern Depot martial artists who had been guarding Prince Yeomseong rushed in and began to pour attacks on Jaun.
─ KABOOM!
─ PING. CLANG CLANG.
Jaun narrowed his eyes and focused on the incoming attacks. His movents were restricted by the old man's energy, but he had already experienced the 'Eighteen Arhat Formation' deployed by the Shaolin Abbot and the Eighteen Arhats. Therefore, it was not difficult to deflect and receive their attacks with minimal movent.
In the anti, the rushing Eastern Depot martial artists surrounded Jaun from all sides and attacked ceaselessly from below, above, and all directions.
─ KABOOOM!
─ CLANG. CLANG CLANG. CLANG!
Jaun's spear, which had been strapped to his back, was drawn out, and the Ink Ring extended in all directions from ti to ti.
The corner of the old man's eye twitched as he watched Jaun single-handedly receiving the attacks poured out by dozens of people.
‘……Enduring my energy, and receiving all of those attacks?’
He had cast a snare of energy by gathering even the energy of the eight Squad Leaders, but he could not stop Jaun's minute movents of dodging and deflecting attacks by a paper-thin margin.
‘He's no ordinary fellow. Where did a guy like this… I must look for an opening. If I see even a tiny, tiny opening…….’
A bluish energy began to gather in the old man's left hand.
He intended to attack with all his might if he saw an opening, but the opportunity he was waiting for rarely ca.
The old man's expression distorted more and more as he watched Jaun's fluid movents.
‘If he shows that kind of movent within a snare that has combined even the energy of the eight Squad Leaders… I can never break him down like this.’
Far from an opening being created, Jaun's sword was becoming more and more stable. Not only was he blocking the ceaselessly pouring attacks without a single error, but he was even able to change the direction of the attacks and create wounds on the bodies of the Eastern Depot martial artists.
Just as the old man was watching Jaun's movents with an anxious face, a thick Blood Qi began to rise from behind.
“You bastaaard!”
The one who rushed at Jaun was Prince Yeomseong, who had been watching the state of the war. Prince Yeomseong, who had rushed in at high speed, drew the treasured sword that was tied to his waist.
Prince Yeomseong, who raised the drawn sword high into the sky, broke through the Eastern Depot martial artists and unleashed his sword towards Jaun.
─ SWOOOOOOSH
The treasured sword of Prince Yeomseong, which was shooting towards Jaun, soon scattered brilliantly in the air, blooming into sword flowers.
‘This is…… Plum Blossom Sword?’
Jaun turned his head at the heterogeneous energy. Jaun's eyes widened as he confird Prince Yeomseong's sword fluttering amidst the attacks of the Eastern Depot martial artists.
‘Mount Hua, it is the martial arts of Mount Hua.’
Perhaps Prince Yeomseong had learned the sword of Mount Hua that had been passed down in the Imperial Court.
─ SWOOOOSH
Prince Yeomseong's sword showed a profound change and lted into the attacks of the Eastern Depot.
Prince Yeomseong's swordsmanship had reached a surprisingly high level. Amidst the faint scent of plum blossoms spreading around, Prince Yeomseong's sword completely filled Jaun's vision as if flower buds were blooming.
─ CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG
Jaun, who had quickly set his sword diagonally, received Prince Yeomseong's sword.
It was only Prince Yeomseong's sword added to the attacks of the Eastern Depot martial artists, but the burden on Jaun's body was gradually accumulating.
‘Trendous internal energy…….’
Prince Yeomseong's internal energy, created from elixirs and great arts, was not sufficiently refined, but its size itself was enormous.
‘With this level of internal energy…… its destructive power alone is a notch above a martial artist who has reached the pinnacle of the Peak Realm.’
It was a size of internal energy not easily seen even in the vast Jianghu.
Although he did not possess the profoundness of the Commander or the Admiral of the Eastern Depot, the power coming from its overwhelming amount was itself terrifying.
With his movents not being free due to the Admiral of the Eastern Depot's energy, Prince Yeomseong's Plum Blossom Sword, containing his overwhelming internal energy, was a sufficient threat to Jaun.
─ WHOOSH
Prince Yeomseong's treasured sword narrowly grazed past Jaun's eyes as he slightly leaned his body.
Jaun, who winced at the sword wind, corrected his posture with difficulty.
─ SWIIIIISH
Then, Prince Yeomseong's sword poured down on Jaun. Prince Yeomseong's sword, which filled his vision, was like fluttering plum blossoms.
‘Rough, but strong.’
Due to the addition of Prince Yeomseong's divine power to his imnse internal energy, it was not easy for Jaun, who was being checked by the Admiral of the Eastern Depot, to carelessly face his sword.
─ SWIIISH
The mont he dodged Prince Yeomseong's sword again, a concentrated energy shot in from the side.
─ PAAAAANG
Jaun's thigh was pierced by Prince Yeomseong's sword as he deflected the energy of the Eastern Depot martial artists.
─ WHOOOOOSH
The energy contained in the sword created a huge sword wind, and Jaun's body began to sway.
─ KABOOOOOOOM!
In the end, even Jaun, who had been deflecting all attacks until now, had no choice but to receive Prince Yeomseong's sword. The mont Jaun's sword t Prince Yeomseong's, a shockwave spread out in all directions.
Just as Jaun was trying to steady his staggering body, the Admiral of the Eastern Depot's energy montarily increased explosively and pressed down on Jaun's body.
“……Tsk!”
─ RUUUUUUMBLE
Jaun's body, which had been concentrating on Prince Yeomseong's sword, swayed ever so slightly.
“Now!”
The Eastern Depot martial artists, who had confird Jaun's body was swaying, all began to pour out their ultimate techniques at once.
─ KABOOOOM
─ PING, CLANG!
While Jaun was receiving the wildly pouring attacks of the Eastern Depot martial artists, Prince Yeomseong's sword extended, looking for an opportunity.
─ SWISH. CLANG!
─ KABOOM! SLASH!
Jaun's hair, which was receiving Prince Yeomseong's sword and the Eastern Depot's attacks simultaneously, was cut and floated into the air.
For the first ti, a gap was created in Jaun's defense, which had not allowed a single attack until now.
“Keep pushing like this!”
“Hyaaaap!”
The Eastern Depot's attacks intensified, and Prince Yeomseong, who had drawn out all the energy of the Blood Immortal Pill, continued his attacks like a madman.
─ KABOOM! KABOOM!
Jaun's arm, which was receiving Prince Yeomseong's attacks while frowning, began to tremble slightly.
Although he was deflecting the attacks as much as possible, Prince Yeomseong's huge energy, which burst out whenever their swords t, seed to be shaking Jaun's insides.
─ KABOOOOOOOM!
Jaun's form, which had received Prince Yeomseong's sword while avoiding the Eastern Depot's attack, staggered again. The eyes of the Admiral of the Eastern Depot, who was glaring at Jaun with such concentration that his eyes were bloodshot, montarily sparkled.
“You bastaaaaaard!”
As the old man pushed his energy to the extre, the eyes of the eight Squad Leaders, who were standing to the side and sending energy to the old man, went vacant, and they collapsed like paper dolls.
