Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 525
“Chung Myung!”
Unknowingly, Jo-Gol screamed.
Chung Myung’s image of flying and spraying his blood was clearly embedded in his eyes, moving slowly. The Envoy seized the opportunity and pursued Chung Myung furiously.
Anyone could see Chung Myung being pushed back.
But that was back then.
Chung Myung raised his sword with a mad smile after flipping his body in the air.
Guoooooo!
The red sword energy was evident on the sword raised above. The reddish sword energy seemed to become more and more vivid, and soon it was clearly tangible and wrapped around the sword.
“Tha- That?”
“Reinforced Sword Energy?” [If Sword Energy or Sword Ki (Qi/Chi) was a hazy-like energy wrapped (flowed into) a sword, then Reinforced Sword Energy (As always, open suggestion for a better term) is when the energy is condensed and could be clearly seen, taking a solid form, if I might say]
Kwaaang!
After being beaten by Chung Myung’s sword, the Envoy flew like a cannonball and crashed to the ground.
Kuuuung! Kuung!
As if a meteor had struck, the ground had been hollowed out. The Envoy’s body bounced back up after colliding with the ground, then fell helplessly.
However, as if he had not lost his mind, he quickly raised his body.
“Keuk!”
Blood poured out of his mouth like a waterfall. His insides were completely shaken, the gut was torn apart, and the blood started to flow.
However, there was no time to take care of the wounds.
It was because he could clearly see Chung Myung running towards him with eyes like a bloodthirsty wolf.
“You filthy unbeliever!”
The Envoy roared while spurting out blood and was poised again.
Kwakwakwa!
The black energy covered Chung Myung like a turbid stream crashed over a river bank.
Paaaat!
And Chung Myung’s sword greeted him in return with red plum blossoms energy.
The rapidly swollen plum blossoms bloomed like clouds, pushing back the rapid flow of the black energy. To the onlookers, the scene looked like a black turbid stream spewing out from a breached embankment and hitting a field of plum blossoms.
‘How can a human being…’
The Ice Clan Warriors were astonished and opened their mouths unconsciously.
Obviously, it was human being that was fighting with each other right now.
However, the feast of energy that radiated from one side’s fingertips and the sword’s edge of the other side was so enormous that it was unbelievable that it was a human-made scene.
“Uoooohhhhh!”
“Haaaaapp!
The demonic black energy, like a torrent, hit the plum blossoms and shattered them.
But then came greater and more daunting energy.
The blooming plum blossoms gradually lost their light as they were caught up in the torrent.
But the plum blossom’s energy bloomed again. Much more plum blossoms have bloomed than the ones that have been lost.
Red flowers and black torrents.
The two energies swirled together and expanded.
Poook!
The energy that bounced off hit Chung Myung in the chest.
Blood welled up in his throat, but Chung Myung forced himself to swallow it and continued to unfold the sword.
Sogok! Sogok!
Fragments of the Plum Blossom Sword Technique cut off the face and ankles of the Envoy.
Martial art was born to protect oneself.
However, as if the Envoy proved with his whole body that martial arts were only to strike and kill one’s opponent, he was only making more and more ferocious attacks without batting an eye at his wounds.
Kung!
As if he were not satisfied even after the battle, which seemed to rip his soul and flesh, the Envoy slightly bounced back and shoot his energy forward.
And.
Uuuung!
He put his hands in front of his chest and made a strange sign. At the same time, black demonic energy soared from his shoulders like flames. It was a pitch-black darkness that the onlookers could feel a sense of fear.
“Heavenly Demon Advent! Blessing For All Demons!”
Kuuung!
The Envoy’s hands, who stepped forward, swirled with the Demonic Energy and sent it flying forward.
“Heuuaappp!”
Then the Demonic Energy began to swell into a beast-like form.
Soon a black beast the size of a house opened its mouth and devoured Chung Myung.
“Chu- Chung Myung….!”
Even Baek Cheon, who had been desperately calm so far, lost his temper and shouted. Just by looking at it with his own eyes, he could keenly feel the power of that energy.
“Sahyuuuuuung!”
Tang So-so’s tearful scream rang out sharply.
Seuseut.
In response to her scream, Chung Myung’s sword drew a soft line in the air. It was as if he was answering that there was no need to worry.
The red-colored sword energy of Chung Myung trembled.
His sword seemed too weak to lock the energy of the Envoy, who was rushing with even more fierce momentum.
But.
“Look!”
Baek Cheon shouted in a boiling voice.
“That’s Mount Hua’s sword!”
Chung Myung’s sword edge painted plum blossoms.
One small flower, but one another.
While welcoming the black beast that seems to cover the world, the flowers continued to bloom.
Small but never a small movement. (작지만 결코 작지 않은 움직임.)
Growing Blossoms .(개화(開花)
No matter how giant a tree it is, its beginning is only a small blossoming flower.
It blooms, wilt, blooms again, and a new life is born.
It is a cycle (순환(循環)), and also a continuation.
As Ilwon (일원(一元)) became Tai Chi (태극(太極)), and Three Realm (삼재(三才)) was combined with Four Mythical Beast [They are the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise (also called “Black Warrior”) of the North], the Five Elements [Earth, fire, water, metal, and wood. I believe this was mentioned a third time already.] formed a unity, and Six Directions [The six directions (north, south, east, west, up, down) / the whole country / the universe/everything under the sun ]. Eight Divinary Triagrams [These eight trigrams are Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Mountain, and Lake.], after passing through Nine Palaces [Ancient Chinese astronomy divided the Tiangong into nine equal parts: Qiangong, Kangong , Gengong, Zhengong, Zhonggong , Xungong, Ligong , Kungong, and Duigong. They are used to observe the sky from the ground at night. The stars move, and information such as directions and seasons can be known], it finally reach perfection (십전(十全)). (**Note) (일원(一元)이 태극(太極)이 되고, 삼재(三才)가 사상(四象)과 어우러져, 오행(五行)이 육합(六合)을 이루니, 칠성(七星). 팔괘(八卦), 구궁(九宮)을 거쳐 마침내 십전(十全)에 도달한다.)
However, it is also a cycle (순환(循環)).
The principles of the world flow and flow, but no flow begins without a Growing Blossoms 개화(開花). [It was like, to bloom/to open. Just a warning that I’m really not sure what to make out of it]
Small flowers don’t just stay small.
Countless flowers have brought the view of Mount Hua Sect in full bloom to the North Sea land and even the spirit.
The Envoy’s eyes were wide open.
Before he knew it, he was mesmerized by the plum blossoms that filled the world.
‘What kind of sword is this?’
Martial art is something that begins with human hands and eventually goes beyond human beings.
But the scene unfolding in front of him now surpassed even that.
The Great Sea (대해(大海)) filled with plum blossoms was overflowing.
The dancing sea of plum blossoms took away his soul in an instant but then changed its momentum instantly, forming a huge wave as it attacked the Envoy.
Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship. (이십사수매화검법(二十四手梅花劍法).)
Plum Blossoms in Full Bloom. (매화만개(梅花滿開))
How strong would a single petal be?
It flies when the wind blows, and it just wags when it rains.
However, when those tiny little petals gather, form a tree, form a forest, and eventually fill the world, the fragrance spreads beyond a thousand and even ten thousand miles.
The endless overlapping Plum Blossoms destroyed even the energy of Death Reaping Mara Palm [In Buddhist cosmology, Mara is associated with death, rebirth, and desire.], which was shot by the Envoy.
The beast, who was running with its wild mouth open, was crushed by the waves of plum blossoms.
The Envoy was desperate and added even more internal strength. However, no matter how strong the force is, it cannot push the sea away.
At last, waves of plum blossoms crushed the beast made of Demonic Energy filling the view of the Envoy.
“Don’t joke with me!”
The Envoy stretched his hands forward, sending out a desperate cry. The Demonic Energy from the fingertips swept through the waves of plum blossoms.
Chwaaaak!
However, this was no different from going against the waterfall.
Ududuk!
The knee was bent first even before the fingertips collapsed.
Uduk!
The bones screamed, and the flesh that could not withstand the pressure exploded. Blood spread out like a sea fog (해무(海霧)).
“He- Heavenly Demon Advent…..”
The Envoy’s body, which was muttering his mantra, trembled. It was not until he realized it again.
This sword…
‘Swo- Sword that cut Heavenly Demon…….’
Mount Hua Sect’s sword.
“Eeeeuaaaa!”
The waves of plum blossoms completely covered the body of the Envoy, who let out mad cries.
Kwaaaaa!
The swirling plum blossoms swept through the white land of the North Sea.
It was an incredibly magnificent sight.
Everyone watched the scene with their eyes loosened as if they were dreaming.
And.
At some point, the plum blossoms, which dyed the ground of the white North Sea red, disappeared like an illusion.
“…..”
After a long, suppressed silence, the observers barely breathed.
Their eyes were all fixed in one place.
Drip.
Drip.
The blood flowing down his hand dripped to the ground.
The Envoy was kneeling on the ground and breathing hard.
“He …. Heavenly Demon…..”
Muttering the Heavenly Demon’s name even in the midst of all this made the viewers sick of it, but there was no longer anyone who felt fear from his completely broken figure.
“Ptoo!”
Chung Myung spat out blood in his mouth and wiped it off with his sleeve. And then, without trying to say anything, he spat blood again.
“Cough!”
He vomited up his blood and muttered with a frown on his face.
“This is fucking hard.” (“빌어먹을 놈이 힘쓰게 하네.”)
He looks fine on the outside, but his insides are completely shaken. It was unreasonable to unfold such a sword skill with his internal strength yet.
But they are bloodthirsty beasts.
If he couldn’t get a head start, the bastard would somehow grab his weakness and hang on to it. Even if it was a bit too much, they needed to be trampled properly.
Thanks to that, there is no particular external injury, but the internal wound is deeper than when dealing with Seol Chonsang.
But…..
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Chung Myung slowly walked toward the Envoy. It was time to wrap up.
And then.
“Sa- Save the Envoy-nim (사자님)!”
“Stop him! Stop him, somehow!”
The Demonic cultists watching the situation from the back screamed and stepped forward. Some blocked Chung Myung and some rushed to help the Envoy.
“Don’t you dare……”
As soon as Chung Myung tried to twist his face and swing his sword, a loud wave sound broke out behind his back first.
“These bastards!”
“Your opponent is us!”
Mount Hua’s disciples began to deal with the Cultist, followed by a series of Hye Yeon’s golden fiery energy.
“…..”
Glancing back at them, Chung Myung fixed his eyes on the Envoy.
Seut.
Soon, his body disappeared in an instant as if he were completely extinguished, and appeared like an illusion in front of the Envoy, where he kneeled down.
“Eek!”
“Dieee!”
The Cultists who tried to let the Envoy escape flinched in fright at the moment, but they were also believers of Magyo. Soon, they attacked Chung Myung without hesitation.
Poook!
But Chung Myung, who struck them with his sword, immediately kicked the Envoy.
Kwaaang!
With a heavy bang, the Envoy’s body bounced into the air and soon began to fall like a kite that had its string cut off.
The place where his body was headed was above the heads of the Ice Clan Warriors.
Chung Myung, who separated the Cultist from the Envoy with a single blow, quickly kicked the ground and chased after the Envoy.
Kureureung!
The body of the Envoy who crossed the Ice Clan Warriors penetrated the walls of the Ice Clan.
“What are you doing, you idiots! Can’t you deal with the guys who lost their leader?”
When Chung Myung burst into anger, the Ice Clan Warriors looked back at each other and clenched their teeth. And after a while, there were fierce shouts from all over the place.
“Defeat the evil enemies!”
“Kill them all! Kill them!”
Only then did Chung Myung glance at the warriors of the Ice Clan who gained courage and ran toward the Cultist with cold eyes. And he quickly flew after the Envoy.
“Sasuk! Hye Yeon! Don’t let a single one alive!”
“Got it!”
“Amitabha!”
As Chung Myung immediately lifted himself up, he approached the fortress at a tremendous speed. He was heading for Seol So-baek, not the place where the Envoy had crashed.
Tak!
He landed right next to Seol So-baek standing at the edge of the wall.
“Do- Dojang?”
The moment when Seol So-baek’s eyes questioned him.
Kwaaang!
The ground exploded and the Envoy soared up from there.
However, as if Chung Myung expected it, he kicked and blew away Envoy’s chin.
The Envoy’s body was crushed back into the wall.
Kureureung.
Chung Myung smiled coldly as he looked at the cracked and collapsing wall.
“It’s obvious what you’re going to do. Fools.”
Tok.
Chung Myung, who covered Seol So-baek’s head roughly with his hands, approached the Envoy without even looking at the child.
“Cough…..”
He was coughing all the time in the dust that rose up as his blood dripped.
“Get up.”
Chung Myung looked down at him coldly.
“There’s no way you’re going to die like this. Get up, it’s not over yet.”
There was a glimmer of despair in the eyes of the Envoy.
There must be countless people stronger than him in the world. Nothing is surprising about the fact that he can’t win against him.
But how does he explain this deep killing intent and this eerie persistence?
The Envoy looked at his trembling hand.
‘I feel fear?’
‘This self?’
Just then.
“You bastaaaaard!”
Chung Myung’s head turned sideways.
Suddenly, the wall on the right side collapsed, and a sword-wielding man jumped out from there and attacked Chung Myung.
That’s a…
‘Ice Clan?’
Chung Myung, who bit his lips, quickly blocked the flying sword.
“Run away, Envoy-nim!”
The Envoy leaped to his feet at the scream of the intruder.
“Where are you going!”
Chung Myung’s sword swung persistently at the Envoy. However, the Envoy did not run down, but jumped up, breaking the ceiling.
“This!”
Rage began to light up in Chung Myung’s eyes.
“The Elder of the Ice Clan…… protecting Cultist? You hopeless punk!”
“Heavenly Demon A- Advent! Blessing….”
“Shut up!”
Paaang!
Chung Myung, who cut the Elder’s neck with his sword, gnashed his teeth and looked back.
Flinch.
Seol So-baek shrank. The eyes of the bewildered child and Chung Myung’s eyes, colored by wrath, collided in the air.
“…..”
Chung Myung turned his head without saying a word and jumped after the Envoy.
Kwaang! Kwaaaang!
Meanwhile, the Envoy penetrated the ceiling and went up and up.
‘I have to survive.’
The existence of that monstrous bastard must be made known to the Cult. Even if that monster has the Ice Crystals.
‘We can’t retrieve the Ice Crystals unless the Bishop directly steps forward…. .’
“Stop there, you punk!”
Kwaaang!
At that moment, sword energy flew toward the body of the Envoy from below.
“Eek….!”
He managed to block the sword energy with his hand that was clad in Demonic Energy, but the power contained in that attack was enough to blow away his body.
Kwareureung! Kwaang!
The Envoy’s body bounced through the ceiling.
Kwareureung!
Soon after, the Envoy, who bounced to the top floor, threw up blood and rolled on the floor.
“Ughhh…..”
His hands trembled as he scraped the broken floor.
The venom in his eyes, dripping with blood, was clear.
‘If I can’t make it back alive…….’
Kureureung.
The last force to sustain life.
The eyes of the Envoy, who pulled everything out to the last energy left on his body, shone strangely.
“Take one of those arms…….”
It was then.
The Envoy’s head turned sideways.
“… This is?”
The top floor of the fortress was where Seol Chonsang’s office was located. He has also stopped by several times.
Of course, he’s surprised not because this is Seol Chonsang’s office.
At the center.
The throne where Seol Chonsang always sat was overturned and shattered to the ground. And the half-protruding box from underneath was slightly cracked from the impact.
“… Tha- That is…..”
From there, blue light was continuously flowing.
The Envoy’s eyes were filled with joy.
“Seol Chonsang, you fucking bastard!”
The Envoy, who rushed into the light and grabbed the box, hurled his body at the window in the wall without delay.
Kwaaang!
His body flew in the air, and the wooden windows shattered helplessly.
“Where is this bastard!”
Chung Myung, who came up late, shot a red sword energy at him.
But. At that moment.
The Envoy, with a bizarrely bright smile, was crouching, protecting the box instead of his body.
“Huh?”
Chung Myung opened his eyes wide.
Sogok!
The Envoy’s arm was cut and fell off.
At the same time, one corner of the box he was holding was cut off, revealing what was inside.
What was in the box was clearly an Ice Crystal.
“Goodbye, Jungwon bastard!”
“What nonsense are you talking about…!”
Chung Myung, who was trying to fly to the window, flashed his eyes for a moment and flipped over.
Kwaaang!
Another Elder of the Ice Clan running from the back was desperately shooting energy at Chung Myung.
“Heavenly Demon Advent! Bles…….”
Paaaat!
Chung Myung, who exuded terrifying anger, slashed the Elder’s neck in one blow.
His head with his eyes wide open hit the wall and fell and rolled on the floor.
“This…..”
He looked out of the window in a hurry, but the Envoy had already disappeared far away. Chung Myung’s face, which was chasing him with his eyes, was distorted like a demon.
“You son of a…….”
Blood dripped down from Chung Myung’s lips, which were bitten tightly with anger.
