Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 376
“… you won?”
Yoon Jong and the other Mount Hua disciples’ eyes shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
When Baek Chun is pushed indefinitely, his heart shrinks to the point where he can’t even open his eyes and watch.
“Oh my gosh… Red Serpent Sword Yo-pyong.”
“Ha… haha. I can’t believe it.”
Everyone couldn’t stop their hearts from trembling.
Yo-pyong wields the Red Serpent Sword.
A martial artist with a reputation for being a strong man, he is the leader of one force from Myriad Man House.
Baek Chun defeated such a man.
It’s not the same as beating a rising star like Jin Geum Ryong.
Of course, monsters like Chung Myung and Hye Yeon should be excluded from the discussion, but even those who usually rank among the top five rising stars are not regarded as dignified masters in Murim.
However, at this point, Baek Chun defeated Yo-pyong, proving himself to be more than just a rising star.
This is so incredible that the disciples of Mount Hua, who used to rush to Baek Chun whenever he won the Competition, could now not take their feet off the ground.
“Huh…….”
And Hyun Young felt the same way.
The corners of his eyes were wet with moisture.
“Hohohoho. Baek Chun is…… Baek Chun is, to Red Serpent Sword Yo-pyong …….”
While this so moved everyone, only one person was terrified.
“Did he do something great?”
“Isn’t that amazing? He beat Red Serpent Sword Yo-pyong.”
“That’s what he’s supposed to do.”
“Huh?”
Chung Myung shrugged.
“Just because he’s a rising star, doesn’t mean he will be a rising star forever. Those who make a name for themselves usually announce their beginning in Kangho by cutting off one famous master, right?”
“Um, doesn’t that mean that Baek Chun’s fame now shakes the world?”
‘Yes?’
‘Is that how it works?’
Chung Myung looked at Baek Chun with slightly shivering eyes.
Perhaps feeling the gaze, Baek Chun walked slowly toward them. Seeing his shoulders full of strength, it twisted his belly a little.
“I won.”
“…….”
A pain swelled up on Chung Myung’s cheek.
“Would you have been dead if he slashed you?”
“But I didn’t die.”
“Didn’t you break the sword?”
“It’s just a sword. I can use a new sword.”
“…If he hadn’t let his guard down, you wouldn’t have won.”
“Isn’t that all about skill?”
Chung Myung’s cheeks trembled.
There was no further reproach.
To put it bluntly, Yo-pyong is at least a master one level higher than Baek Chun. Baek Chun defeated such a master. What kind of scolding would he have?
Letting his guard down?
Sounds funny.
It is a skill to use the opponent’s carelessness, and it is also a skill to be careless. The loser would have no excuse if the two of them had a life-or-death match.
“Ugh.”
When Chung Myung made a painful sound, Hyun Young smiled and tapped Baek Chun on the shoulder.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“No, Elder. I couldn’t overcome my excitement, so I looked ugly. I’ll reflect on myself.”
“Yes, yes.”
Hyun Young patted Baek Chun’s shoulder as if he was pretty.
But at that moment.
Swaeaek!
“Ot!”
Behind Baek Chun’s back, the dao flew in a fierce rotation.
Baek Chun, who felt strong energy behind his back, turned around in panic.
“Anyway.”
Kaang!
The dao, which was flying with red energy, crashed to the ground helplessly by Chung Myung’s sword.
Blood drained quickly from Baek Chun’s face.
Yo-pyong, who they thought had collapsed and lost consciousness came to his senses and threw his weapon at Baek Chun’s back.
‘This is…’
If Baek Chun were alone, that dao might have been stuck in his back by now.
“Yes, yes. You finished it very neatly.”
“…….”
“Tsk.”
Chung Myung shook his head several times as if he didn’t like it. Then, holding his sword, he shuffled toward Yo-pyong.
“Do you know why Evil Sect is Evil Sect?”
“…….”
“It’s Evil Sect because they don’t care what they do for the purpose.”
Chung Myung didn’t look back, but Baek Chun nodded as if they were facing each other.
“Not just one or two people die after touching Evil Sect while performing justice clumsily. So you either don’t get entangled with Evil Sect at all, or…”
Seururung.
Chung Myung’s sword was pulled out of the sheath.
“The basic thing is to completely dispose of them so that they won’t do something again.”
It’s terrifying.
It wasn’t a playful tone.
Chung Myung sometimes showed this incomprehensible seriousness and coolness. Whenever that happened, Baek Chun felt his fingertips cold.
“Sto- Stop him!”
“Protect Daeju-nim!”
Perhaps they felt that Chung Myung’s momentum was unusual, but Red Serpent Sword’s member, who had been at a loss all along, desperately blocked the gap between Chung Myung and Yo-pyong.
However, Chung Myung only looked at those people with cold eyes.
“Y- You!”
“Get back!”
The Red Serpent Sword threatened Chung Myung with a nasty look.
But the emotion hidden within it was closer to fear than hostility. It would be too obvious what kind of punishment they would face from Myriad Man House if they lost their leader.
However, Chung Myung’s steps were not delayed at all, even though they drew their sword and threatened. The Red Serpent Sword flinched away at his posture as if he were taking a walk.
“Hiik!”
However, one of them shouted and stormed forward.
“If you come any closer, you will be decapitated…….”
Sogok.
“…….”
Immediately, a fountain of blood spurted from his neck.
Looking blankly at the blood from his half-cut neck, he stuttered and blocked the wound with his hands.
Thud.
Kneeling down on his knees, he slumped on the spot, panting and clutching his neck with both hands. He could tell by instinct. The moment he takes this hand off, he dies.
“Huuk! Huuk!”
He can’t even feel the pain. No, to be exact, there is no time to feel pain. Now he is in the middle of life and death.
Step, step.
Chung Myung passed him by without even a slight change on his face.
“In the past…….”
And said with a frown.
“You’re all dead before you even spoke.”
“…….”
“But, well, I can’t live like I used to. Give me a chance. Those who block me will die. Those who retreat will live.”
It was a very harsh and lack of warmth voice.
“It’s simple, right?”
“…….”
“So, decide. Whether to live or die.”
The eyes of Red Serpent Sword’s member trembled.
He has already proven that he’s not bluffing.
‘I couldn’t even see it.’
None of those present could see how Chung Myung cut the man’s neck. They thought there was something white, but blood was already gushing out.
In other words, no one here can properly receives Chung Myung’s sword.
In addition.
They can tell because they are proud to have lived on the thin line between death and life. The sword that Chung Myung just showed them is a vicious move.
Gulp.
The sound of dry saliva being swallowed came from all over the place.
Most people can’t swing a sword at a man’s neck.
To cause death, the neck is the easiest target. However, it’s impossible to swing a sword targeting the opponent’s neck without a hardened heart (poisoned heart/毒心), the indifference to killing a human.
Therefore, no matter how confident they are with their swords, most people do not try to target the necks with numerous parts that can be suppressed without much difficulty.
But that young man swung his sword at the man’s neck without hesitation.
Which means…
‘He’s used to murder.’
Such a man is someone who can kill every opponent without blinking his eyes.
They don’t understand how a young man from Mount Hua could have such a tendency, but is it the time to argue about logic?
“That…….”
Chung Myung personally urged Red Serpent Sword who could not decide because of the chaos.
Of course, not with words, but with swords.
Sogok. Sogok.
“Kkereuk!”
“Keuk!”
The leading Red Serpent Sword member, who watched Chung Myung approach with an awkward posture, grabbed their necks and fell to the ground.
And.
Eventually, the remaining members of Red Serpent Sword lost the will and strength to protest.
“Hiik!”
“N- No.”
Most of the people who were blocking the road retreated and eventually opened the way.
Of course, some of them still have pride and maintain a vague distance. However, even those people did not dare to properly block Chung Myung.
Step, step.
It was a truly bizarre sight.
The Red Serpent Sword of Myriad Man House with their menacing swords. A young swordsman dressed in Mount Hua’s robe casually walks through the path they have opened.
Where in the world can you see a sight like this?
While Chung Myung was nonchalant, Mount Hua’s disciples were stunned by the sight.
At that time, one of the Red Serpent Sword’s members, who was staring at Chung Myung’s back walked calmly, and quietly made a quick surprise attack.
A large dao was about to split Chung Myung’s body in half.
But.
Kang!
The sword he wielded collided with Chung Myung’s sword and flew away cleanly.
And
Sogok.
The neatly cut man fell down.
“…….”
The Red Serpent Sword’s member’s eyes were now terrified.
Not once, but four times.
Four times, the same area was cut with a single sword.
It was hard to understand how big the difference would have to be to make it possible. It would be hard to imitate even for Yo-pyong.
“No more?”
“…….”
“Bring it on if there is one.I can at least let you live if you come at me now. You see, I don’t keep people who are aiming for my backs alive. Just like a little while ago.”
“…….”
Those words broke all the will of the Red Serpent Sword members.
Half-dead eyes, they all bowed their heads to avoid Chung Myung’s eyes.
All of them, who now had half-dead eyes, bowed their heads, avoiding Chung Myung’s gaze.
“Huup….huup!”
Yo-pyong, who was lying on the ground unable to get up due to a back injury, trembled as he saw Chung Myung approaching him.
He can tell just by looking at it.
After all, the guy named Baek Chun is of the Righteous faction. He cannot easily take people’s lives.
If he had given a little more strength earlier, Yo-pyong’s waist would have been completely crushed. Nevertheless, the attack he received was still recoverable. Can’t he tell just by looking at it?
But this guy is different.
‘How can Righteous sect…….’
Unless Mount Hua is a place that raises murderers, how is it possible for such a young man to give out this kind of feeling?
He’s a ghost who has seen blood countless times……
Step.
Finally, Chung Myung’s feet stopped right in front of Yo-pyong’s face.
“What…… What you gonna do to, me…….”
“I’m thinking about it.”
Chung Myung sighed and stroked his chin.
“In the past, there would have been nothing to worry about, but now I have a lot of things to be concerned about. In the past, I used to have someone to take care of me if I did as I pleased, but now I’m in a position to take care of things.”
Yo-pyong couldn’t understand what Chung Myung was saying.
He doesn’t even need to understand. Because he only had one thing to say.
“Spa- Spare me!”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“I- If you let me live…….”
Pook!
Chung Myung’s feet were stuck in Yo-pyong’s mouth, which was trying to somehow babble something.
“Aaaak!”
A scream broke out. Broken teeth poured out of Yo-pyong’s mouth.
Chung Myung said in a lighthearted way.
“Shut up. I’m thinking about it.”
“……ughh…….”
“Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. You’re the ones who tried to kill people here, and if we lost, you’d have cut our heads off and hung them at the gate by now.”
“…….”
“What would you have done if we had asked for our life in that situation?”
“Keu- Keureuk….”
Yo-pyong looked up at Chung Myung with desperate eyes. Seeing those eyes, Chung Myung nodded his head as if he had made a decision.
“Let’s do this.”
Tok!
Chung Myung kicked Yo-pyong and flipped him over. And he swung his sword without hesitation.
Sogok. Sogok. Sogok. Sogok.
With a creepy sound, Chung Myung’s sword severed the tendons of Yo-pyong’s wrists and ankles. And…….
Puuk!
Finally, he penetrated Yo-pyong’s Dantian.
“People reap what they sow. If you have been a good person to someone, you will be able to live with care even if you lose your arms and legs and lose your martial skills. But if you don’t…”
Chung Myung shrugs his shoulders.
“That’s none of my business.”
Chwaak.
He lightly swung the sword he had retrieved, sprinkling the blood on the ground, and shoved it into the sheath.
And he turned away as if he had no regrets.
“Go back and tell your superiors.”
“…….”
No one from Red Serpent Sword dared to make eye contact with him.
“Once you step into Shaanxi again, you’ll have to deal with Mount Hua and me.”
Chung Myung, who walked so leisurely among the Red Serpent Sword’s members, said without looking back.
“Get lost. Before I kill you all.”
At that cold voice, the Red Serpent Sword’s member all closed their eyes at once.
It was the moment when the long incident, which took place in a short night, ended.
