Chapter 349: Chapter 349

“Gagging….”

Yeongpung coughed up blood and took a step back.

What happened?

It just seemed liked a light swing. However, considering that the opponent was a legend, he chose to avoid rather than block.

Since he had already seen Ma Cheol’s futile death before his eyes, Young Poong’s goal was to be as careful as possible and continue the fight for a long time.

However, in just three seconds, a large hole was created in Yeongpoong’s chest.

The dripping blood showed that he was dying.

Dan Woo-hyun looked at Young Poong with a blunt gaze.

A master who captured the world’s advanced forces.

A expert that may be comparable to Five Emperors.

But it wasn’t fun enough to be surprising. This was because their desire to die was stronger than their will to live.

“It’s not fun.”

Dan Woo-hyun suddenly spoke and withdrew his hand.

At the same time, Youngpoong’s body fell backwards.

thud!

“Blood Demon’s minions have always been by his side with overwhelming loyalty. However, I don’t see anything like that in you now.”

“Kuhuh……Kuhuhuh…….”

To Dan Woo-hyun, he felt nothing.

Not only the will to live, but also loyalty to the owner.

It seemed as if these two men had merely come in search of a place to die. Looking into their slowly dimming eyes, Dan Woo-hyun was convinced of it and furrowed his brows.

“There is already no lord to whom I owe my loyalty… to whom should I give my loyalty?”

“That means the blood demon was not the lord.”

Young Poong smiled and looked at Dan Woo Hyeon with his eyes slowly fading.

“Wow… there are times when you have no choice but to follow even if you don’t want to…”

“…….”

“Not everyone is like us… but maybe they suffer more.”

The reason for using honorifics was because Yeongpoong thought highly of Danwoohyeon.

It was purely a respect for the strongest as a warrior.

Young Poong slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed Dan Woo Hyeon’s pants leg.

My hands were shaking.

“Ma… only….”

Wow!

Youngpoong, who was about to speak up to that point, suddenly burst out of his head.

The debris spreading in all directions was so terrible that an ordinary person could not bear to look at it with their eyes opened.

Dan Woo-hyun stretched out his hand and removed Young-poong’s hand, which was still being held.

There was no way to care about the last will of someone who has already become a corpse.

But one thing was certain.

‘Manhuryang… … .’

Youngpoong tried to spit out the name.

He had not listened to the very end, but that single truth was vividly clear.

Even when he faced the blood demon at Changbai Mountain, Dan Yu-hyeon did not see Man Hou-liang, and in the end, his name was erased from his mind.

But now that name has appeared again.

‘Wasn’t he a weak guy?’

Dan Woo-hyun frowned and thought.

He was clearly the Head of the Myriad Gold Merchant Group and had once even served as the Chief Strategist of the Murim Alliance.

However, having never heard that he excelled in martial arts, how could he command so many limbs of the Blood Demon under his wing?

Dan Woo-hyun, who had been thinking about it up to that point, frowned.

“Is it prohibited?”

With Manhouliang’s power, he could not sustain the prohibition of so many people.

In that case, the correct answer would be that someone, someone comparable to Blood Demon or Dan Woo-hyun, helped him.

Thinking up to this point, all the doubts that had surfaced in his mind seemed to unravel in an instant.

In the end, he realized that whether in the past or present, they had never escaped from his grasp.

‘Thousand Emperor… … .’

Dan Woo-hyun laughed.

Even though he was laughing awkwardly, there was a look of sadness in his eyes.

The rushing force spread in all directions, smashing trees and rocks and even crushing the wind.

It showed just how immense and profound his fury was.

‘In the end, have you started to come forward?’

He had not cared.

No, he had not even been interested.

If that guy’s goal was Dan Woo-hyun himself, he would have recognized it the moment he opened his eyes and tried to kill him.

But until now, there was no feeling, and it seemed like only the blood demon was trying to block Dan Woo-hyun’s path.

But now he was certain.

Emperor Tianmu was an enemy.

From the moment he opened his eyes and met Dan So-mi until now, Dan Woo-hyun has never once tried to kill Pal-seon.

Although it was true that he suffered from them, it was also because he was not good enough, and there was also a reason why the life of Cheonsalseong had faded because so many years had already passed.

Thus, he had simply brushed it off as nothing.

That was one of the reasons why he had not bothered to seek Cheon Mu-je out until now, even after hearing that he had been ousted.

‘but… … .’

If you keep manipulating things liked this, you will inevitably end up in conflict.

The eyes became even deeper.

Each of their faces surfaced in his mind—the remaining Seven Immortals who followed Cheon Mu-je—though they were so faint that they did not easily come to mind.

‘first… … Should I look for that fox?’

Dan Woo-hyun narrowed his eyes and was lost in thought.

To do that, it was urgent to clean up this place first.

“then…….”

Turning his head, he surveyed his surroundings.

The presence of people could be felt from various places.

It seemed liked the plan to save Seonjin had already been achieved, and they were scattering all over the place.

Although it was an overwhelming victory in sheer numbers, considering the capabilities of their opponents, they had apparently judged that achieving victory would demand heavy sacrifices, choosing instead to swiftly withdraw after rescuing Abbot Seon-jin.

And from one side, a remarkably familiar energy was felt.

Dan Woo-hyun thought for a moment and scratched his head.

“I tried to see the other guys’ skills, but they passed the water.”

At the same time as he said that, he began to moved his body slowly.

* * *

“Back!”

“know!”

At Tang Wen-hye’s shout, Zhuge Yeon’s blade was cleverly extended and flew away.

It was a sharp tactic, as if he had prepared for it, perhaps because he had realized that the opponent was attacking him, or because he had been aiming for this attack from the beginning.

Phew!

The blade that pierced a man’s chest was recovered as if preparing for the next move.

‘It’s increased a lot.’

Looking at it, Tang Wen-hye was convinced.

Can a person’s skills suddenly improve in one or two days?

no.

No matter how hard you swing your sword for several months, there were some things you can never achieve, but Zhuge Yeon seemed to have overcome her own wall without paying any attention to such things.

Namgung So-hye’s rapid growth was also similar to Zhuge Yeon.

He shifted his gaze and looked at Gwon Mu-jin.

He remembered crossing blades a few times in the past with Gwon Mu-jin, who had once been part of the Martial Sovereign Castle.

Of course, he was defeated each time, but he never made a sharp moved liked he does now.

Gwon Mu-jin’s blade was dancing and was clearly putting pressure on his opponent.

‘Hunan Dan Family!’

All the secrets were in Hunan Dan Family.

Tang Mun-hye was sure of that.

Tang Jung-ak still looked down on Hunan Dan Family, but it was not Tang Mun-hye. Everyone there was strong.

The rapid growth that changes in an instant was definitely not a coincidence.

“under!”

At that time, Zhuge Yeon’s voice was heard.

Tang Mun-hye, who was startled, hurriedly leaned her upper body back.

At the same time, the extended blade narrowly grazed his chin. If Zhuge Yeon’s warning had been a little later, a terrible tragedy would have occurred.

Tang Wen-hye frowned and stretched out her hand.

Countless concealed weapons flew in, pressing down on the opponents.

“So, I told you not to think about anything else, right?”

“You just be quiet.”

Tang Mun-hye gritted her teeth.

How could you be distracted in a situation liked this?

This was an act that tarnishes the name of Sichuan Tang Family.

Slash—! Sh-sh-sh-slash!

“Wow!”

The concealed weapons Tang Mun-hye unleashed embedded themselves into the pursuer’s body in an instant.

The poison spread so quickly that it caused poisoning in an instant, and no one could stopped it without an antidote.

There was no way Tang Mun-hye could have missed that momentary slow movement.

The extended short sword cut into the man’s entire body.

Her merciless hand that granted not even a shred of pity to the dying was enough to make one think, ‘As expected of the Sichuan Tang Family.’

‘also.’

Zhuge Yeon also has no time to spare.

Although Gwon Mu-jin was protecting Abbot Seon-jin, the enemies swarmed from all directions as if they knew their exact location.

Even amidst such chaos, each supreme technique executed by Tang Mun-hye was worthy of the Sichuan Tang Family that bore the name of the Eight Great Families.

In fact, long ago, it was said that three families—the Namgung Family, the Murong Family, and the Tang Family—were equals, but at some point, their name had declined and fallen behind.

However, the Zhuge Family knew very well that this was not true.

The Sichuan Tang family was more cunning and stronger than anywhere else.

Therefore, they did not reveal their power carelessly.

In the land of Sichuan, where Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng resided, the Sichuan Tang Clan was hailed as the Number One Family of Sichuan, completely checking their influence.

How much power will they have yet to reveal?

‘Her father had once said they were comparable to the Namgung Family in its prime, and it was certainly not an exaggeration.’

There was another point to note.

Tang Ak-gyun, the previous head of the Sichuan Tang Family.

Although he had only been listed among the Ten Venerables and had retired early by passing the family headship to Tang Jung-ak faster than other martial artists of his generation, Zhuge Un had long suspected that he might be a supreme master comparable to the Sword Emperor.

The fact that Zhuge Un harbored such suspicions meant he had noticed something.

‘Perhaps the Heavenly Dao Society will soon belong to the Sichuan Tang Family… … .’

It seemed liked it would not be long until the day when Sichuan Tang Family, which had been holding its breath waiting for its right moment, would spread its wings.

Of course, right now, breaking through this predicament was far more urgent than dwelling on thoughts of the Sichuan Tang Family filling her mind.

“If we keep going like this, don’t you think we’ll get tired first? The hanging headpiece isn’t a decoration, is it?”

“Do you want to get scolded?”

Tang Mun-hye’s sharp voice was heard.

The number of pursuers gathering from all directions was too great.

You may be able to block it to some extent, but if you keep charging at it liked this, no one will be safe.

Knowing that, they expected Zhuge Yeon to come up with a way to overcome this situation.

Even if nothing else, she was someone dependable in situations like this.

“Okay… then…”

Zhuge Yeon took a deep breath.

It was a bit rude and dirty, but there was one thing.

She was sure that if only it succeeded, they would get out safely without anyone dying.

Tang Wen-hye and Gwon Mu-jin looked at Zhuge Yeon.

A gaze full of expectation.

The situation was deteriorating to the point where they could no longer even speak, but if it was a plan prepared by Zhuge Yeon, it was trustworthy.

Zhuge Yeon looked at the two people’s gaze and breathed.

And then.

“Please save me! Family Head Dan—!”

Boom boom!

Zhuge Yeon’s voice echoed through the mountains.
