Chapter 347: Chapter 347

“You two just left? How is this happening?”

Namgung Yong muttered as he brandished his sword with a puzzled look. With the most dangerous enemies gone, the pressure was relieved and most people’s movements were improving.

However, even anxiety remained.

Monsters appear again.

Their power was superior to that of those who appeared before them, but was by no means at a lower level.

The sheer ferocity felt with every clash of swords instilled a dread that a single lapse in concentration would send one’s head flying.

“Don’t relax! They are not weak!”

Tang Jung-ak shouted, acknowledging the situation.

The cried of death were heard from all over the place. Those who appeared in an instant extended their swords towards the opponent without a moment of hesitation, and were creating the corpse.

Also, while those who were there just a moment ago somehow did not feel ego, the monsters who appeared now were judging and reading the situation and knowing how to win.

“This is not about the reputation of the Namgung family.”

Namgung Yong smiled awkwardly and turned his head.

Many people were suffering.

The Martial Alliance, Heavenly Dao Society, and others were killing, killing, and biting each other. Because only those who were proud of their own abilities gathered together, this situation was by no means what everyone had hoped for.

‘The eight great powers of the world… … And those two fight better than the Martial Alliance.’

Namgung Yong glanced at Gwon Mu-jin and Zhuge Yeon.

Where did you learn those martial arts, and how were you able to perform those movements? In the melee that was taking place on all sides, they were targeting their opponents without even blinking an eye.

This was not something that could be achieved through simple training.

‘I’m jealous, but… … .’

Now was not the time to catch up with the younger ones.

Namgung Yong gave strength to his sword.

The image of Namgung Cheon still glimmered before his eyes. It doesn’t completely catch up with him. But at least you have to go that short distance!

If one bore the proud name of Namgung!

“I will not tarnish my father’s name!”

Namgung Yong gave more strength to his sword.

Meanwhile, Zhuge Yeon looked around and assessed the situation.

‘It’s not a jiangshi!’

He frowned as he realized that.

If he were a Jiangshi, he would have been able to read the situation and respond in an instant, as he had no ego and moved solely on instinct.

But they were different.

The joint attack between the monsters and those who appeared earlier showed a destructive power that could not be ignored.

“We can’t fight like this! We need to back off, plan a checkup, and apply pressure slowly!”

Zhuge Yeon’s voice sounded clear.

Those were things he had known from the very beginning.

Most of the people present here were made up of people who were just doing their bit in this martial arts world, so they were fully aware of the actual losses that would occur if a melee broke out.

‘but… … What to do in this situation?

Knowing it in one’s head was one thing, but putting it into practice was far from easy.

When you fought those who first appeared, do you know why such a fierce battle took place?

This is because they clearly exploited the opponent’s gap, swept around the surrounding area without being able to organize their battle lines, and induced a melee, turning everything around into a situation where they had a slightly more advantageous situation.

Beings who were skilled in fighting against the majority.

And monsters with pincer attacks, swordsmanship, strong attack power, and outstanding brains.

This was by no means an easy fight.

Kang-!

Gwon Mu-jin parried the incoming blade and dove inside. He thrust his blade toward the one charging at Zhuge Yeon. The blade, laden with powerful internal energy, sought out an opening, but the opponent turned his body as if having already anticipated it.

However, at that moment, Gwon Mu-jin’s way was bent in a strange direction.

It was as if he had even predicted what to avoid.

Phew!

The hilt of his blade dug into the grotesque figure’s neck. A short groan of pain escaped, and at the same time, Zhuge Yeon’s extended blade fiercely cleaved the man’s head.

Suddenly!

The two people were convinced as they looked at the blood gushing out.

The monsters were never jiangsi.

“The situation is worse than I thought.”

“Maybe the good news is that those two people aren’t there?”

“That’s true, too. But we must not forget our purpose. To rescue Ambassador Sun Jin. Not to die fighting.”

Gwon Mu-jin nodded at Zhuge-yeon’s words.

As the fight became more intense and monsters appeared, people seemed to forget one thing.

The purpose of coming here.

It was to rescue Abbot Seon-jin, not to waste lives needlessly.

Gwon Mu-jin and Je Gal-yeon nodded and ran towards Seon-jin. No matter what happens, the will to save at least as much as possible was captured in those eyes.

Many people, including the Namgung family, Hwangbo family, and Sichuan Tang Family, realized the intention of the two men and moved to protect them.

Wudang Mountain, where fierce fighting was taking place, even looked as if a war had broken out. The groans and resounding metal sounds of dying people spread out in all directions liked crazy.

Dan Woo-hyun was looking at it.

“It’s pretty good.”

Among them, the movements of Zhuge Yeon and Gwon Mu-jin were the most noticeable.

Perhaps because they had become accustomed to the previous training, the two men, who had further improved their skills, were able to protect their own lives and reliably eliminate their opponents one by one even in this fierce battle.

If they were to win that battle, it would undoubtedly be thanks to those two.

However, Zhuge Yeon and Gwon Mu-jin soon realized their purpose and rushed out. Dan Woo-hyun nodded willingly and praised the two people’s actions.

“No matter where you are, you should never forget your purpose. If you can avoid a fight, it is wise to achieve your goal and avoid it as much as possible.”

It was a shame to fight recklessly just because you were a martial artist.

If you can achieve your goal, it was right to think only about that.

There was no need to sacrifice people if something can be accomplished without shedding a single drop of blood.

Dan Woo-hyun, who was watching the whole situation, turned his head.

Two men were suddenly standing there.

“This is my first time seeing his face like this. It’s surprising. I can’t believe that someone who is almost a legend is watching such a trivial event.”

“It’s kind of fun.”

At Dan Woo-hyun’s response, the man licked his lips and smiled. It made one wonder if this man standing and watching such a ridiculous fight was truly the so-called legend.

Nothing could be felt from him; it seemed as if there was truly nothing there.

“My lord, as you said… you are a more unsightly person than I thought.”

“Who is it when you say lord? Blood Demon? If not, then Heavenly Wu Emperor?”

“haha…….”

The man had no answer.

Dan Woo-hyun gave him an arrogant look.

Seeing that he showed no reaction to either name, the man wondered if he was well-disciplined against such probes or if both guesses were completely off the mark.

But soon he shook his head excitedly.

“That’s what the blood demon said. Now my lord just gritted his teeth and didn’t say anything.”

“I see.”

It was already expected that there would be a new lord.

But judging by their expressions, it is not the Emperor of Heavenly Emperor. If that’s the case, then it’s someone else. Who can lead people of this size?

There was no one that came to Dan Woo-hyun’s mind.

Shaking his head, he looked straight at the two men.

“They are the worst among the blood demon beasts.”

“Haha! Yeongpoong! They’re being rude to us! This is so crazy!”

“…Shut up, Ma-cheol.”

The man called Yeong-pung slowly drew his sword.

At the same time, Ma-cheol also took his stance, ready to attack at any moment. It was undoubtedly their intention to unleash everything they had against the one called a legend.

“What are you doing?”

Dan Woo-hyun asked with a smile on his face.

He was well aware of his opponents’ capabilities. Even so, attempting to fight was nothing short of suicide, something they could not possibly be unaware of.

These two were undeniably strong, but only in the context of the current Murim. Among the actual limbs of the Blood Demon, they were barely at the bottom tier.

Dan Woo-hyun’s eyes became a little deeper.

“The only order we received was to bring Wudang to its knees. Since there are no other restrictions, we have freedom of action. Therefore…”

Swish—!

In an instant, Yeong-pung’s figure vanished.

Suddenly, he appeared behind Dan Woo-hyun and swung his sword. With its strong and powerful force, it was wrapped around the wind and soon became a storm that destroyed everything.

Finally, the moment he swung it down toward Dan Woo-hyun.

Boom-boom-boom-boom—!

Instead, his body flew away in an awkward manner.

“You bastard!”

Ma-cheol ran, looking at the situation.

He closed the distance in an instant and swung a heavy fist. Infused with power capable of shattering even diamonds, it seemed as if no one could possibly block it.

bang-!

Soon a loud sound was heard.

Tremble—!

Even though the man’s fist, which seemed capable of crushing all things, was thrown with precision, it could not pierce Dan Woo-hyun’s wind barrier.

The man’s fist stopped in front of Dan Woo-hyun’s nose.

He was standing there staring at the trembling person, but he didn’t even show the slightest interest.

At that moment, the blown-away Yeong-pung reappeared and swung his sword.

Sigh!

A strong wind blew, but the sword was caught in Dan Woo-hyun’s hand without completing its purpose.

“Are you stupid or are you overflowing with confidence?”

Dan Woo-hyun slowly stretched out his foot.

Thud—!

“Guh!”

A single strike that hammered deep into Ma-cheol’s abdomen.

At the same time, applying slight force to the blade held in his right hand, Yeong-pung’s body spun violently and slammed into the ground.

bang-!

The two bodies fell to the floor with a strong sound. A large hole was dug and dark red blood was leaking from the mouth.

The two managed to get up.

Faint smiles hung on their lips, making one think they were perhaps enjoying this situation.

“We are both foolish and overflowing with confidence. If we don’t do at least this much, we’ll end up as puppets of that damn bastard.”

“…….”

Dan Woo-hyun’s eyes turned to Ma-cheol.

Ma-cheol roared with an enraged expression and pushed his internal power to the limit. All his muscles began to squirm and swell several times over, his strength growing exponentially stronger than before.

The same went for Yeong-pung.

Dan Woo-hyun’s gaze changed again.

“Spirit Possession… This is truly bothersome.”

While saying that, he lightly relaxed his hands.

Assuming their opening stances and fixing their gazes solely on Dan Woo-hyun, the battle spirit of the two men was palpable enough to send chills.

Dan Woo-hyun smiled without realizing it and opened his mouth.

“In the end, you’re asking me to kill you, aren’t you?”

Dan Woo-hyun slowly released his momentum.
