Chapter 246: Chapter 246

The Blood Demon’s gaze shook so violently it was as if an earthquake had occurred.

The view outside from within the Blood Demon Palace was so miserable it was impossible to put into words.

Countless martial masters.

He had gathered only those whose power was at the peak, or had surpassed it.

No matter how outstanding a master was, killing that many people without receiving a single wound was impossible.

Looking at the scene of the massacre with his enhanced vision, the Blood Demon could not suppress his anger.

Not a single drop of blood stained his body, nor was a single thread of his clothes damaged.

It was a one-sided slaughter, and if it were a nightmare, he desperately wanted to wake up immediately.

“This makes no sense…”

Right after his resurrection, there was something he had heard through the mouths of others.

After his death, there was a total attack by the alliance of the orthodox and unorthodox paths, and tens of thousands of masters targeted Dan Woo-hyun.

However, it was a story about Dan Woo-hyun, who had cut down every single one of them.

At that time, he had laughed it off as something nonsensical, but looking at the scene unfolding before his eyes now, it did not seem like a lie.

Feeling a chill, the Blood Demon gnashed his teeth.

Still, he would not be able to make it this far.

No, even if he did come, he would not be able to defeat him.

Since he had already won once in a clash of internal energy, the Blood Demon regained his composure and calmed his mind.

“You bastard… you are rushing to your death.”

The Blood Demon glared at Dan Woo-hyun.

Since he would have to face the elders and protectors after all those followers, by the time he reached the Blood Demon, not even a handful of internal energy would remain.

No matter how much of a Martial God he was, as long as he was human, there was a limit to his energy.

If he squandered his internal energy like that, he would never be a match for the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon let out a sigh of relief and cooled his head.

Today, this very place would become the grave of the Martial God.

* * *

“Aaaargh!”

“Cough, cough!”

It was impossible to guess how many people died every time he swung his sword.

They had already been fighting for over two hours, but the opponent did not show even a hint of exhaustion.

It was as if they were looking at something other than a human.

In an instant, the number of followers was decreasing tremendously.

As some even fled in terror, more than half of the once-vast crowd of followers had already vanished.

Dan Woo-hyun clicked his tongue as he watched those who fled, but he did not foolishly pursue them.

Since his goal was to enter as quickly as possible, he could not afford to chase down and kill the fleeing ones one by one.

There was no need to pay attention to those who had already lost their will to fight.

These small fry were mere entertainment; what he was truly targeting were the big figures of the Blood Demon Sect.

Boom-!

Moving relentlessly, he poured out the power he possessed.

As if his surging internal energy had no limit, and as if his physical strength to swing the sword was also infinite, Dan Woo-hyun ceaselessly cut off the opponents’ breath.

Slash, slash, slash-!

“Eeeek!”

“Ru… Run away!”

In the end, the survivors began to run away, screaming.

Looking at the tragedy unfolding before their eyes, they lost their will to fight, and felt terror as they watched their comrades fall helplessly to the endlessly swinging blade.

That feeling was quite different from the terror shown by the Blood Demon.

The hand of death reaching out from the depths of the darkness.

A terror that made them feel they would meet death the moment they perceived it.

Dan Woo-hyun was strong enough to make them break even the oath to follow the Blood Demon without fearing death.

No one could block his advance, and no one could oppose his single sword strike.

This was the very power possessed by the Martial God, Dan Woo-hyun. Dan Woo-hyun took step after step, cutting down the enemies in front of him.

Now, he did not even look at those who were fleeing and stared straight ahead.

Those who appeared to be the actual limbs of the Blood Demon were watching this situation from far away, gnashing their teeth.

Although there were those who wanted to punish the fleeing ones, the situation was not easy enough to look away with the Martial God of all people right in front of them.

This is the power Dan Woo-hyun possessed.

An individual who defeats an organization, a one-man army.

Before they knew it, there were no followers left in the area. There were only corpses and blood, and that bloodthirsty scene indirectly revealed the absolute power Dan Woo-hyun possessed.

“Impressive… It feels exactly like the Martial God of the past.”

A middle-aged man who appeared to be an elder sneered as he looked at Dan Woo-hyun. Recalling the time he died by his hands long ago, he gnashed his teeth in spite of himself.

A past one did not want to think about always returned in the worst form.

“I suppose that Blood Demon bastard is shut inside?”

Dan Woo-hyun asked as he looked at them.

However, no answer came.

They merely raised their momentum while wearing murderous smiles.

As dozens of absolute masters released their momentum all at once, a great vortex arose as if a disaster had occurred.

A power so mighty it seemed ready to swallow even Dan Woo-hyun.

Feeling it fully, Dan Woo-hyun sneered.

“You have not changed a bit, whether in the past or now.”

The elders and protectors flinched.

Not changed?

They were definitely stronger than they had been a thousand years ago.

The Blood Demon’s descent technique was just that perfect, and by using the god-possession method and the blood-sucking art of the Dark Wind Demonic Martial, their internal energy had also increased to a level incomparable to back then.

And yet he said they were the same as in the past?

Dan Woo-hyun’s eyes had surely grown dull. That was why he could not perceive their strength.

The elders and protectors looked at each other and smiled.

“There is no need for words between us, is there?”

“It is tedious, so come quickly. I was getting tired of cutting garbage anyway.”

Dan Woo-hyun provoked them with a dry expression.

As if expressing absolute confidence, not a shred of fear could be seen in his eyes.

He would simply kill those in front of him and go to the Blood Demon.

It seemed that was the only mindset Dan Woo-hyun possessed.

That complete disregard touched the nerves of the elders and protectors.

Even if he was the Martial God whose reputation as the strongest was widely known, that was merely past glory.

A thousand years had already passed, and the strongest at this point in time was always the Blood Demon, a being who was haughty and whom everyone had to look up to.

Therefore, the Martial God Dan Woo-hyun would meet his true death in this place today.

The power of those with flashing eyes flowed out even more grandly.

As a power that seemed ready to swallow everything existing in the world spread in all directions, the ground vibrated wildly and even the wind blew harshly.

However, Dan Woo-hyun looked at it with an expressionless face and slowly opened his mouth.

“You guys are putting on quite a show.”

* * *

Climbing Jangbaeksan, Jang Sam-tae adjusted his rough breathing and scanned his surroundings.

From the moment he began to climb the towering Jangbaeksan, he felt presences here and there.

Every single one of them was a formidable person who could not be easily dealt with.

Swallowing his dry saliva, he felt something and hastily climbed up a tree.

Then, after a short while, those who came running in a crowd revealed themselves.

“Aaaargh!”

“Hurry and run!”

The sight of people fleeing in an instant, filled with fear, was visible.

Every single one of them had a face clearly marked by terror, and running without stopping gave the feeling that they had been thoroughly beaten by Dan Woo-hyun.

‘Of course… there is no way that man would get beaten.’

While moving through the trees for a long time with such thoughts, Jang Sam-tae felt something was strange.

Above all, the number of fleeing people was too large.

Those wearing blood-red robes rushed out from the darkness, and the number was so large it was impossible to count them one by one.

Unlike his thought that there were merely dozens, before he knew it, there seemed to be hundreds, and as time passed, it seemed there were thousands.

Jang Sam-tae swallowed his dry saliva as he realized the gravity of the situation.

He worried that Dan Woo-hyun might be facing those who were worse than the Heavenly Mountain Demonic Sect all by himself.

Once again, he put strength into his legs and ran.

He went up the path the fleeing people had descended and moved for a long time.

As time passed, the mountain path became steeper and just taking a single step felt difficult.

Suddenly, large pavilions revealed their forms here and there. Thinking it made no sense, he held his breath while looking at them.

“Why… are these things here…?”

It was Jangbaeksan, which countless people climbed up and down.

However, he had never once heard a rumor that such a place existed.

He guessed that the people who fled earlier had probably escaped from this place.

Boom!

When Jang Sam-tae was distracted by the surrounding pavilions, a loud sound was suddenly heard.

Even though Jang Sam-tae was quite a distance away from the center of the sound, he could physically feel the vibration.

Flinching, he went a little further inside.

And at the sight revealed before his eyes, he could not even breathe and stared with wide eyes.

“Th… This is…”

Countless corpses covered the ground.

Turning his eyes away from the corpses, which seemed to number at least several thousand, Jang Sam-tae trembled.

This was undoubtedly Dan Woo-hyun’s doing.

Thinking so, he could clearly realize the fact that he had entered a den of death.

Boom, boom-!

Explosions erupted in succession.

Looking toward where the sound echoed, he could see dozens of figures and Dan Woo-hyun engaged in a fierce battle.

At that awesome sight, which was something he could never join given his level, Jang Sam-tae swallowed his dry saliva and merely watched.

“What on earth is this… and who are these bastards…”

It was surprising that people who could wage such a fierce battle against Dan Woo-hyun existed in the world, and he also wondered why Dan Woo-hyun had killed so many people.

Jang Sam-tae had to stand blankly, unable to do anything.

It was because he felt a dizzying sensation that if he took even one more step, he would cross a line that must never be crossed.

Boom, boom-!

He tried hard to understand what was happening here just by the sounds of explosions and clashing metal echoing from afar.
