Chapter 108: Chapter 108

Inside the dark cave, an indescribable cold wind was blowing. Since the moisture-filled place was even damp, he thought it was the worst place to keep an injured person.

Upon having that thought, Namgung Cheon’s gaze grew even more chilling.

Even though he tried so hard to calm down, he could not handle this surging intent to kill.

To think his child was in such a place.

To think his relatives were here.

The thoughts shaking his head shook him even more violently.

Rustle!

A sound was heard.

A sound of moving stealthily.

Did they employ lightness art?

They were quite good at killing their presence.

Although he did not know whether they had received training as assassins or whether their original ability was stealthy, he could tell that their hiding ability was outstanding.

However.

Slash!

An instantly swung blade sliced through something. Whether it was a human or a mere beast did not matter to Namgung Cheon.

Along with the thud of a falling body, the ground became even more soaked.

Presences were heard here and there.

They must surely be startled.

However, Namgung Cheon walked as if he had no interest in what they thought or what they were doing. He also seemed to have no interest in how long and rough this cave was.

Step!

He treads.

Slash, slash!

He cuts.

Avoiding the countless flying blades, he walked, swung, and thrust. No one could inflict a wound on him, and no one could make a blade touch his body.

Thud, thud!

At the same time the sounds of falling one after another reached his ears, a bizarre sound flowed into his ears. This was surely identical to the voices of those who used the Body Strengthening Method.

“Grrrr!”

A bizarre sound.

And the opponent’s movements grew even faster.

It was faster than the sound approaching on the wind. It was a speed where one would surely suffer if one only listened. However, Namgung Cheon was not fooled by such a sound.

Slash!

Lightly dodging, he thrust his sword. Feeling the sensation of a throat being sliced at his fingertips, he moved to the left and swung again.

Slash, slash!

He cuts people.

Although he could not even know where they were cut, they would never be living people.

Thud!

“Kugh…… Kugh!”

Soon, he plunged his sword into the neck of the fallen one.

Then he slowly opened his mouth toward those surrounding him.

“Not a single one…… shall survive.”

His anger erupted like an active volcano.

“Whoa. My word.”

Sa Do-hak caught his breath while dodging attacks here and there. Since over fifty people attacked in coordination, he had been at a loss as to where to begin.

No, to be precise.

It was about how he could kill them interestingly.

“Is this all you can do even after using the Body Strengthening Method or whatever?”

Disappointing.

He thought they would press him a bit harder, but there was nothing of the sort. Although their coordination was quite well-structured, it was not at a level that could work against a master of Sa Do-hak’s level.

Rustle!

At that moment, they surrounded him in an instant.

The swords thrust and the splendid attacks at the same time were dazzling enough to delude the eyes. To be able to display such techniques even after losing their reason, it was a situation where their mental power had to be called great.

Sa Do-hak smirked.

Grabbing a flying sword with his bare hand, he swung it and split the head. Along with a cracking sound as if firewood was breaking, a man’s body was split in half, and before they could even be surprised by that, he stamped his foot.

Thump!

The surroundings shook roughly as if an earthquake occurred.

Those standing staggered greatly and lost their balance.

At that moment, his foot shot out.

With a single blow, he struck and crushed the opponent’s head. At the same time, containing rotation, he crushed another’s chest. Those actions occurring in succession flowed too naturally, and soon his kick extended like a flash of light, rotating and destroying the surroundings.

Thud, thud, thud!

In an instant, the bodies of those gathered were shattered and collapsed. Even those who could not maintain their sanity properly due to the Body Strengthening Method gasped at that overwhelming martial art.

“Splendid. The Heaven-Turning Kick…… You sublimated a simple martial art.”

“Hahaha! It is my specialty.”

Dan Woo-hyun could not help but offer praise this time. Sa Do-hak possessed a martial art entirely different from Namgung Cheon’s.

He seemed to know well that even if a martial art was low-class, if it reached a high state, it would develop into a martial art that could kill a person with a single blow.

“A… Absurd! It cannot be!”

Gang Do-hyul gasped heavily, panting.

The one maintaining his sanity best, he could not compose himself while looking at his dying subordinates. The opponent did not even reveal what could be called his signature technique.

Every single one of them was playing with them using low-class martial arts.

“Who on earth are you! Who are you to block my path!”

Booming!

His scream spread loudly.

Unlike themselves who fought desperately, those guys were at ease. As if playing a prank on a child, they laughed and chatted and even conversed among themselves.

Does this make sense?

Against himself who was bestowed with overwhelming power and even brought down the Namgung Family, was it even possible to carry out such an absurd deed?

His heart seemed to be collapsing.

Swallowing a groan, he clenched his fists.

Although it was a situation where he could go mad if he did not hold onto his sanity, he felt he was gradually losing that hold.

He could not accept this situation properly to that extent.

‘Yes…… if that human is not possible……!’

Gang Do-hyul thought.

That human in front of him was too strong.

However, it was not that there was no way to stab that weak point. Smirking inwardly, he looked at his subordinates. Even if they lost their sanity, there was no problem in giving orders.

Rustle!

In an instant, dozens of people leaped out at once.

Aiming at Sa Do-hak, they thrust their swords, threw hidden weapons, and unleashed all kinds of palm methods.

It was a fierce attack to the extent that the earth trembled and the ground shook. No matter how great a skill one possessed, one would never be safe if hit this much.

However, the goal was not that.

Gang Do-hyul moved.

Around him, dozens of subordinates followed behind.

Even the others who had been pouring fierce attacks on Sa Do-hak suddenly retreated and rushed as quickly as possible toward where Gang Do-hyul was.

And that place was.

‘If power does not work, grasp a hostage!’

Gang Do-hyul thought.

If power cannot win, use the head. Those who survived by doing so were indeed the strong and the winners. The Martial World was made like that, and that could never be called cowardly.

That man was ominous.

However, that ominousness was better than dying to Sa Do-hak.

It was unknown whether he was strong or not.

However, since he looked clearly young, his state would not be high.

‘It is the fault of you who left the one who could be a hostage alone.’

Gang Do-hyul smirked and approached quickly.

At that moment.

“Tsk tsk…… Are you serious?”

From behind, the sound of Sa Do-hak clicking his tongue was heard.

The moment he turned his head, questioning that single remark, this time, on the contrary, Sa Do-hak sat calmly and watched the situation.

Shiver!

He felt an unknown anxiety.

At that time, Dan Woo-hyun, who had been quietly leaning against the tree, smirked.

“You use your head quite a bit.”

Dan Woo-hyun quietly grasped the hilt.

He watched those approaching quickly, as if counting one, two, three. Even in a situation where the distance narrowed in an instant, his ease did not disappear.

Soon, the sword was slightly drawn from the scabbard.

The blade revealed itself only a little.

However, the aftermath was larger than expected.

“Ev…… Evade!”

He shouted late.

However, it was already late.

A master’s distance was absolute.

Moreover, it was no exaggeration to say that the distance of the Martial God, none other, was a perfect barrier. That which no one could escape from if they entered.

Thus.

The time it took for all of them to become lumps of meat was indeed in the blink of an eye.

Slash, slash!

“Oh……”

The sight of dozens of people becoming pieces in an instant was unbelievable even to see with eyes. Although Sa Do-hak could do a similar thing if he wanted, it was impossible to do it so precisely, let alone leave no trace of drawing the sword.

Splat!

Blood and pieces of flesh were scattered all over.

It was a disgusting and bizarre sight just to look.

The survivors were at most about ten.

It was showing once again how wide Dan Woo-hyun’s distance was and that evading it was in the domain of impossibility.

“Kugh…… Kugh…… I… It cannot…… be……”

Gang Do-hyul retreated while trembling.

The sight of dozens of his subordinates being slaughtered in front of his eyes remained like a shock and did not disappear.

Let alone the sight of the sword being drawn, he could not even know how it was swung. The moment he realized he was in a state beyond Sa Do-hak whom he had faced until now, he let out a scream as if his mind was collapsing.

“Aaaack! I said it makes no sense!”

He shouted roughly.

Having grasped the power he had begged for so much, and reached a situation where he could grasp everything now, it collapsed entirely in this short time.

To accept that?

“I said it makes no sense!”

Gang Do-hyul shouted, losing his reason. His eyes were already rolled up, and the veins on his entire body rose tightly enough to be visible. His momentum flared up even more and his muscles swelled as if ready to burst immediately.

Dan Woo-hyun frowned.

“He lost his mind.”

“Is that so?”

“Should it be called the side effect of the Body Strengthening Method? In this state, even if we capture and torture him, there will be nothing to hear.”

Dan Woo-hyun slightly stepped away from the tree.

And he looked at Gang Do-hyul who rushed while lightly holding his sword. His gaze was still cold, but the decisiveness contained in it allowed anyone to read his thoughts.

If so, kill.

Yes, that was the emotion in Dan Woo-hyun’s head.

Sa Do-hak quietly watched that.

The subordinates of Gang Do-hyul who approached first were scattered as meat chunks again. It was a cruel hand that did not even show mercy to those who had already lost their sanity.

However, that was not the end.

Slash!

Gang Do-hyul’s body was sliced and scattered.

Sa Do-hak smiled as he watched the conclusion.

‘As expected…… strong!’

Tremble.

His entire body trembled as if having a convulsion. Facing the absolute one whom he saw for the first time in his life, it was not a remote feeling of submitting or being unable to overcome.

Rather, a confidence that he would try to surpass him arose strongly.

Yes, only by looking at the place one cannot ascend does one ascend higher.
