Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 534
The raised sword’s edge was slightly trembling.
The legs that supported the body were also shaky, as if they were about to snap.
Nonetheless, Baek Cheon persevered. In front of the Bishop, who has a deadly look on his face.
“……Baek Cheon from Mount Hua……”
The Bishop’s mouth is twisted.
“Do you know what that word means?”
The Bishop’s murderous gaze penetrated Baek Cheon. Unaware that a black flame was burning in his eyes, Baek Cheon bit his lower lip.
“Do you know what those two letters’ Mount Hua’ mean to those who gave everything to Magyo in support of ‘Heavenly Demon’?”
Baek Cheon raised the corners of his mouth, as if chewing.
“I don’t know about that, but I know one thing for sure.”
Then he grabbed the sword as if to break it.
“That our ancestors cut off the heads of your god.”
“Oh, and now your neck is going to fall.”
Everything that could be called expression had vanished from the Bishop’s face.
Didn’t they say that once one’s anger has peaked, one will no longer be angry?
Instead of rage, sizzling black rage was directed at Baek Cheon and the other Mount Hua disciples.
“Heavenly Demon Advent. Blessing For All Demons.”
The Bishop opened his mouth.
“Answer me, a disciple of the hateful Mount Hua Sect.”
“Mount Hua has lost its power. Your spirit has fallen to the ground, and no one can no longer find the mighty power that even Magyo was wary of.”
Baek Cheon laughed in vain, even at this situation.
Spirit and strength.
It was funny.
Jungwon does not recognize Mount Hua.
Even the disciples of Mount Hua Sect had forgotten the pride of having saved the world against Magyo on their own.
However, the Bishop of Magyo, who was the greatest enemy, discusses the power and spirit of Mount Hua.
Therefore, how can it not be funny?
“You, who call yourself Mount Hua’s disciples, are weak and feeble enough to not dare to call yourself a successor.”
“But do you dare to stop me? With such a trivial force?”
Baek Cheon sneered at the contemptuous gaze that seemed to look them down endlessly.
“Weak. Yes, as you say, I’m weak as can be.”
“That’s why we can’t back down! I’ll remain weak for the rest of my life if I walk away and run away like this!”
Baek Cheon’s voice, who aimed his sword, gradually rose.
“Did you say Mount Hua’s spirit?”
“Check it out with your own eyes! I’ll prove with this sword that Mount Hua’s spirit is not broken!”
The Bishop stared silently at Baek Cheon.
‘Right, those kinds of eyes.’
In the past, Magyo and Jungwon fought a war.
More than anyone else, all of the martial artists of Mount Hua Sect, who blocked Magyo with their entire bodies from the front, all had such eyes.
Not backing down even when afraid, not giving up even if they know they’re lacking.
“Mount Hua is still Mount Hua?”
The Bishop, who had been mumbling quietly, finally revealed his teeth again.
“But!”
Kwaaaaaa!
An aura that had been quiet for a moment enveloped his whole body and raged furiously.
“It doesn’t mean anything. Even if the spirit is not broken, Mount Hua is no longer the former Mount Hua. You couldn’t inherit the power of Mount Hua Sect.”
Demonic Energy’s Dragon Ascension soared like a black dragon ascending to Heaven. At the same time, the pressure was pressing down on all sides.
“I’ll tell you everything is meaningless in the face of overwhelming power!”
Holding onto the sword, Baek Cheon’s hand began to twist back under pressure. His whole body complained of intense pain and his soul screamed.
Nevertheless, he stretched his foot forward and lowered his posture rather than backing down.
‘Don’t back off.’
‘Do not ever never back down.’
“Kkeuk…”
Under the strong pressure, the sword was bent as if it were broken, and all the blood vessels in the hand that grabbed the sword burst and the skin died black.
Even if he gritted his teeth, he couldn’t help his body that kept being pushed away.
And at that moment.
There was warmth on his back.
Baek Cheon looked back reflexively.
“Sasuk!”
“Sahyung!”
Yoon Jong and Yoo Iseol were supporting him on the shoulder. As always, as if natural.
Back Cheon turned his eyes again and faced the despair in front of him.
‘I think I’ve fallen to hell.’
He felt certain again.
How his predecessors fought against these fearful beings in the past. What a great achievement it was to defeat them and finally cut off the head of the Heavenly Demon.
Paaaaat!
Back Cheon, who wielded his sword vigorously to push back the pressure that was rushing in, slowly brandished his sword.
“I am…”
He might have already thrown his sword and ran away if he had been alone.
But now he wasn’t alone. Behind him were those he had to protect. People were pushing his back.
Not as a martial artist Baek Cheon. But as Baek Cheon, Mount Hua’s Second-class disicple, he couldn’t take a step back here.
“I am the successor of Mount Hua Sect!”
Baek Cheon’s sword began to draw a charming plum blossom.
Small plum blossoms.
It was a plum blossom that looked too small and feeble to deal with the black Demonic Energy that fluctuated like an ominous evil dragon.
But the plum blossoms do not bloom alone.
One more. And another one.
The plum blossom of Yoo Iseol was added to Baek Cheon’s plum blossom. The plum blossoms drawn by Jo-Gol and Yoon Jong, and even the plum blossoms desperately created by Tang So-so, all overlapped.
“Heeeuaaat!”
A huge forest of plum blossoms emerged.
Just as plum blossoms bloom in the spring of Mount Hua.
Everything in the world seems to be covered in plum blossoms.
The Bishop bit his lips unknowingly at the spectacular sight. Blood trickled down from his torn lips.
‘That is…’
How can he forget?
That hateful and terrible sight.
For a moment, the whole world seemed to be filled with plum blossoms….. And then…
Throb.
The Bishop grabbed his chest without realizing it.
It was because the memory of not being able to escape even for a moment wrapped around him.
It was because it was as if he were facing the hateful man who rose up like a flash from among the flowers that bloomed so endlessly and cut his chest.
‘Plum Blossom Sword Sovereign……’ [Prev Sword Saint]
The figure of Plum Blossom Sword Sovereign who cut his chest with cold eyes came to mind.
“How dare you…”
His teeth are gnashed.
Anger welled up all over his body, as if it was about to burn his head to pure white.
Heavenly Demon would not have ascended to Heaven if he had stopped Plum Blossom Sword Sovereign there and then.
A lingering attachment for a hundred years. And a hundred years of regret.
The anger that had been weighed down and suppressed is now on the verge of burning him all at once.
“Plum Blossom Sword Sovereeeeiiiign!”
He could tell for sure.
These are descendants of Plum Blossom Sword Sovereign. The existence that inherited that hateful sword!
“I’ll kill you all! Heeeuuaaapp!
The swirling Demonic Energy began to clump together. And soon began to pour like a torrent at Mount Hua’s disciples.
Asura Sky Decimating Demon Mara Falling Waterfall!
The martial art that Bishops of Magyo could only learn finally resurfaced here after a hundred years long.
It was a scene that seemed like hundreds or thousands of black ghosts tangled and gathered and rushed in with a cry, a truly terrible appearance that could only be seen in hell.
A torrent of black specter hit the forests of plum blossoms that covered the world.
Kwareureung!
The noble plum blossoms were shattered and could not withstand the violent black turbid current.
“Ugh….”
Baek Cheon clenched his teeth with his broken hand holding the sword tightly.
He felt like he was going to lose his mind at any given moment because of the enormous pressure.
‘Endure!’
He bit his tongue and forced his receding consciousness back.
There is his Saje behind. And beyond that, there is a man they must never lose.
‘I don’t care even if I die here!”
‘Do not ever back down!’
“Amitabha!”
A magnificent wave of golden light rushed behind him.
Hye Yeon’s Supreme Power permeates through the plum blossoms, creating a golden atmosphere.
Black vortex.
Red plum blossoms.
And the golden light of dawn entwined and swirled around.
“Come here! You damned bastaaaaaaard!”
Baek Cheon’s loud shout was quickly buried by the massive outbursts that followed.
Kwaaaaaang!
The entangled energy exploded as it was, and a huge shock swept all over the place. Everything that was standing on it was blown away, and the whole ground was overturned and soared into the air.
“Hahahahat!”
In the sight of the world collapsing upside down, the Bishop, standing alone on his own two feet, burst into madness. A stream of blood gushed out of the two eyes that had almost lost their reason.
“Heavenly Demon Advent! Blessing For All Demons!”
Leaving himself to madness, he began to blow his energy and smash everything around him randomly. The mountains shook and the ground screamed.
“Hahahahat!”
Black Demonic Energy spread out, destroying the world as if to announce the end of the world.
—
Jiik.
Jiik, jiik.
‘What are they talking about?’
He kept hearing strange noises.
It was an incomprehensible sound.
But… that was all. He had neither the will nor the strength to confirm the identity of the sound.
It was just… his head was blank.
It’s getting farther away.
It’s blurry.
It seemed as if he were floating infinitely in the deep abyss. As if the body had been thrown away, the body that had lost its strength kept being pushed somewhere.
Jijijil.
He thought it would be completely calm without that annoying sound….
And at that moment.
“Ugh!”
He felt a terrible pain in his fingertips.
Suddenly, Chung Myung stared at the air with his eyes wide open. His blurry eyes quickly regained focus.
‘…What is this…?’
An absurd, bewildering sight greeted him.
Broken rock fragments were scattered from all sides, and pieces of ice were pouring down like arrow rain.
Chung Myung turned his gaze toward his hand, which was still in pain.
Something white is biting his hand until it bleeds.
‘Baek-ah?’
Chung Myung, who was staring blankly at the scene, unknowingly lowered his gaze downward. The long marks left by his body being dragged were clear.
Chung Myung looked at Baek-ah again.
“Kii!”
It would be difficult to understand a beast’s feelings just by looking at its expression, but he could now see what this beast was saying. Its desperation was fully conveyed.
A crumbling valley.
The Bishops who run wild.
And…
The disciples of Mount Hua are bleeding down over there.
At that moment, his eyes were filled with blue flashes.
“This…”
He grabbed the Dark Fragrance Plum Blossom Sword, which he never let go even when he was unconscious.
“The Demonic Sky shall be upon us!”
The voice of the mad Bishop rang loudly.
“None of the unbelievers will survive! Heavenly Demon will purify the world and open a new sky! You insignificant bugs, I dare not even leave you a head to growl…”
Flinch.
At that moment, the Bishop, who had been bursting into madness as if he had lost his reason, stopped talking for a moment.
‘What?’
He stopped as if his body had stiffened.
But even the Bishop didn’t understand why he stopped talking.
Throb!
“Kkeuk…”
At that time, the Bishop felt a sudden surge of pain and grabbed his chest as if it was teared apart.
A cold chill came from the ice covering his chest.
It was unbearable pain, like cutting his wounds with a knife and digging them out. Just like the first time Plum Blossom Sword Sovereign cut his chest.
‘Why all of a sudden…’
This wound won’t heal.
It was a wound that no amount of faith could heal. Therefore, he had it frozen with Ice Crystals and stayed only in the coldest place to prevent the deterioration of the wound.
He already knew that if he overworked himself, the wound would worsen and lead him to death. Didn’t the Envoy know this, so he begged him to use the Ice Crystal he had sacrificed his life to save first, rather than the Heavenly Demon?
But he has never felt so much pain in this wound before….
Throb!
“Kkeuk…”
The Bishop, grasping his heart, tried to suppress the pain.
‘Did I overdo it?’
He couldn’t find any other reason. The Bishop bit his lips and glared at the disciples of Mount Hua in front of him.
‘Before the limit comes to this body, killing them….’
But his thoughts didn’t go on.
Frightening.
He felt something cold behind his back.
Different from the coldness of the North Sea and the coldness that clawed at his chest wound.
Something that should be called creepy rather than cold was approaching.
The Bishop’s head slowly turned to the side.
In the distance, he saw a person lying on the ground slowly getting up.
The Bishop frowned, unaware of what had happened.
If it was just that person, what was the creep he feel? What the hell was wrong with that dying man standing up?
But the Bishop’s eyes soon grew as big as they were torn apart. His eyes, which turned red with Demonic Energy, shook mercilessly.
The appearance of the person raising his body with his head down overlaps with the visions of the past Plum Blossom Sword Sovereign.
That is the appearance of Plum Blossom Sword Sovereign in times when he cut off his chest.
The Bishop trembled with his eyes wide open at this incredible hallucination.
Chung Myung, who woke up completely before he realized it, slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.
A gaze penetrated the Bishop as if it were so cold that it froze his soul.
“You.”
Chung Myung’s lips leaked a voice as if it was returned from hell.
“Don’t ever think of dying nicely.”
From the edge of his sword, red blood-like sword energy gushed out like a wave.
