Chapter 472: Chapter 472

“Even if you didn’t, it seemed like I would have to settle things with you… What a good opportunity.”

Iron White Staff grabbed his staff and lowered his stance.

He didn’t like Cheon Mu-gwang from the start. A person who had followed the Martial God, who could be considered an enemy even if only for a time.

Also, a person who could be considered the number one contributor to driving out the weakened Heavenly Martial Emperor.

That was exactly Cheon Mu-gwang.

Because he didn’t even like the fact that he was next to the Heavenly Martial Emperor after betraying him, the two of them always bickered and had verbal arguments.

In fact, there were times when they clashed several times, but every time Ryu Tae-seo appeared and the fights fizzled out.

It seemed that no matter how much it was Cheon Mu-gwang, he couldn’t refuse Ryu Tae-seo’s words.

He could settle that unsettled matter here today.

Perhaps not thinking even a little bit that he would die, Iron White Staff lifted his staff, pointed it at Cheon Mu-gwang, and smirked.

“Today you will become a corpse. Haha!”

“It seems your shit-filled head will only become normal once you die.”

Cheon Mu-gwang leisurely released his momentum.

The power of the two clashed.

Goooo!

They had only released their momentum at best, but a fierce storm blew around them that a person couldn’t endure, and cracks appeared on the ground.

It was as if watching a natural disaster.

The moment Miho raised her sword to join the fight, Cheon Mu-gwang opened his mouth.

“You bitch won’t be of any help staying here, so go. Check on that girl, Dan So-mi or whatever. It’s somehow strange…”

“…I understand.”

Miho couldn’t help but nod her head.

Iron White Staff was here.

Even so, she was feeling an unknown anxiety. Also, considering that they had never openly attacked the manor, this meant it was a very bad situation.

Nodding her head, Miho threw her body and headed straight for the place where she heard the loud roar of Baek-ho.

Peong!

At the same time, Cheon Mu-gwang and Iron White Staff clashed.

As their momentums clashed and their power spread out, the ground was dug up and flew out, striking everywhere.

Trees broke, and pavilions collapsed.

Even Dongting Lake, which was not at all a close distance, fluctuated and whirlpools arose.

The floating boats couldn’t endure the water current and sank, and all of Yueyang was in an uproar here and there as if a disaster had occurred.

Just then, Namgung So-hye turned her gaze.

While Gwon Mu-jin, who had moved quickly, was collecting Ma Jang-gang’s body, she bit her lip sharply and threw her body. Even if she stayed here, she wouldn’t be of any help.

Furthermore, right now, her mind was solely filled with thoughts of Dan So-mi.

“Keuk… Senior.”

Gwon Mu-jin, who saw Namgung So-hye disappear, looked at Sa Do-hak. Enduring by fighting dozens of people all by himself, he was calmly killing opponents as if he was taking out his anger.

Gwon Mu-jin and Mu-ho couldn’t stay still.

At the fact that they couldn’t avenge Ma Jang-gang even though they wanted to, they bitterly realized their weakness and couldn’t hide their resentful feelings.

Did he instinctively feel that?

Sa Do-hak, who was fighting dozens of people single-handedly, picked his ear as if he was annoyed and opened his mouth towards the two men.

“You guys go too. Other bastards will arrive soon, so you won’t need to worry about this place.”

“But…”

“Just go when I tell you to.”

Sa Do-hak smirked.

This level of commotion had occurred.

The others who were training must have felt all of this as well, so they would be approaching here one by one.

The small fries in front of him didn’t matter, but knowing that the strange auras felt after them were approaching this place, it was better to send away the weak ones to prevent further sacrifices.

As if reading Sa Do-hak’s mind, Gwon Mu-jin clenched his fists and nodded his head.

And carrying Ma Jang-gang’s body with Mu-ho, he instantly crossed the collapsed wall and ran.

Staring intently at that, Sa Do-hak let out a sigh as if he was finally relieved and unleashed his aura once again.

“I won’t hold back anymore, you bastards!”

Sa Do-hak’s eyes became even fiercer, and an extreme momentum spread out explosively.

He seemed to have already surpassed a level of realm.

* * *

Miho ran.

She didn’t know what kind of things were happening, but it seemed certain that the Heavenly Martial Emperor had personally started to move.

Her urgent heart wouldn’t easily subside.

‘Why?’

Did they target this place where Dan Woo-hyun wasn’t present?

Such thoughts stimulated her mind.

Their goal had always been Dan Woo-hyun, and it would not have been an exaggeration to say that things revolved around him, but it was beyond common sense to understand them bringing so many subordinates to target the Hunan Dan Family.

The reason Miho trained the Five Emperors was also out of the thought of wanting to block those who came to attack Dan Woo-hyun.

Therefore, this current situation couldn’t help but be bizarre.

She ran with a trembling heart in her chest.

She ran faster than ever before.

Sasasak!

At the same time, presences followed.

Perhaps the Heavenly Martial Emperor’s subordinates were spread throughout Yueyang, as they closed the distance and approached in an instant.

Guessing that each and every one was a formidable master, Miho frowned and gripped her sword.

Seogeogeogeok!

She scattered her blade.

She was none other than a thousand-year-old Nine-Tailed Fox.

It was no exaggeration to say that her internal energy was infinite, and she had so much experience that a human could not accumulate. As her body was originally not of a human but an animal, her movements truly could not be followed by any master.

Hudeudeuk!

Those who had turned into pieces of flesh fell to the ground.

However, the opponents didn’t give up.

They continued to close the distance, approaching and harassing her.

“Where are you going like that?”

“…!?”

Startled by the sound that soon reached her, Miho twisted her body. At the same time, a single dagger that poured out narrowly brushed past her body.

Chwaak!

Her collar tore and blood oozed out.

It was a momentary surprise attack, but Miho didn’t panic and stepped back, cutting down the approaching subordinates and starting to move again.

“You shouldn’t ignore me, should you?”

“Shut up…”

Miho looked at the woman chasing after her.

One of the former Eight Immortals accompanying the Heavenly Martial Emperor.

Gyu Yeo-ha.

Although her name was less known than the others, she was a woman with strength equal to the others.

Kakakang!

Gyu Yeo-ha quickly chased Miho and swung her dagger. Perhaps she didn’t like her behavior of ignoring her.

The roughly swung blade was fiercely and definitely aiming for a fatal injury as it came in.

Chwachwaak!

They cut each other and stepped back.

However, unlike Miho who was alone, Gyu Yeo-ha was not alone.

Her subordinates targeted Miho once again, and avoiding them, her sword was swung, and Gyu Yeo-ha dug into that gap.

It was truly a clever method like a snake.

“Kkal-kkal! I feel very good today, perhaps because it’s the day I receive your neck.”

“Shut up!”

Miho felt very displeased.

Not only Iron White Staff, but even Gyu Yeo-ha.

She even had the thought that this might be the Heavenly Martial Emperor’s intention to wipe out the Hunan Dan Family.

Chwachwaak!

Their swords crossed and swung once again.

However, Miho knew.

She too, had watched Gyu Yeo-ha for a long time and also prepared many countermeasures against the Heavenly Martial Emperor’s subordinates. She didn’t miss the moment Gyu Yeo-ha, feeling threatened, tried to step back using her subordinates as shields.

She dug in.

The sword she thrust out pierced through a subordinate’s chest and extended.

“Kkal-kkal, with just something like that…!”

At that moment when Gyu Yeo-ha showed full confidence with a ridiculous expression, Miho, who threw her body into the air with a fierce ringing sound of ‘pang’, was seen.

There was no sword in her hand.

However, Gyu Yeo-ha widened her eyes in surprise.

Miho’s fingers extended and instantly dozens of flashes of light erupted.

Peok-peok-peok!

It couldn’t be avoided, nor could it be blocked. Gyu Yeo-ha was less skilled in frontal combat than the others, and although agile, she let her guard down.

The pouring streaks of light pierced her entire body as they were.

Miho didn’t stop there.

Pulling out the sword stuck in the subordinates, she thrust it straight towards Gyu Yeo-ha’s head.

Jjeoeok!

It split apart.

The horrified expression of the woman clearly entered her eyes. It showed an expression as if she couldn’t think she had lost, or couldn’t accept it.

Blood splattered, and the corpse absurdly sprawled out and rolled on the floor.

However, Miho didn’t even think of collecting it and threw her body.

She quickly moved forward, cutting down Gyu Yeo-ha’s remaining subordinates.

Kwang-kwang!

Soon, when she approached the place where Baek-ho’s cry was heard, Miho widened her eyes as if she couldn’t believe the situation that had unfolded in front of her.

Baek-ho and Baek-myo were sprawled out bleeding.

Hong Jin-rang and Ju Ji-ak, terrified, sat slumped with pale complexions unable to move, and Yeo Eun-wol lay motionless on the floor, whether dead or alive.

And in the center of that was an old man and Dan So-mi.

An old man holding the limp Dan So-mi in one hand.

“Ryu Tae-seo!”

“Oho, are you here now?”

Ryu Tae-seo smiled as if he was glad.

Looking at her quickly approaching to save Dan So-mi, he even wore an expression as if he found it amusing.

That face was very comical.

At the same time.

Peogeok!

“…?!”

“Aaaaah! So-mi!”

Ryu Tae-seo reached his hand towards Dan So-mi’s chest. With a sound of a watermelon breaking, her body heaved, and the hand that dug in moved around as if searching for something.

Dan So-mi’s limply drooping body shook back and forth.

Soon, Ryu Tae-seo took out something bizarre from that child’s body.

Something like a blood-stained red bead.

The moment she saw it, Miho couldn’t hide her astonishment.

“Cheon… Cheonhwanok…”

“Hahaha, do you know now?”

Miho’s face turned pale.

Why did that child have that?

A jewel said to be able to open the gates of the Immortal Realm.

A treasure that once disappeared and could no longer be found.

“Our older brother is quite cool too. He predicted that Dan Woo-hyun would teach this child the Thousand Days Harmonization Art and put it inside.”

“Ah… Ah…”

“The Cheonhwanok needed to open the gates of the Immortal Realm is useless unless it is filled with the energy of the Five Elements. The Martial God’s Dao Scripture was for that, but it only resulted in failure. Tsk tsk…”

Ryu Tae-seo threw Dan So-mi’s body while saying such words.

When he threw it like trash as if he didn’t need it anymore, Dan So-mi’s body, sprawled like a doll, rolled on the floor.

“So-mi! So-mi! Uwaaaah!”

Ju Ji-ak and Hong Jin-rang urgently approached and shook her. But Dan So-mi, with a hole in her chest, couldn’t regain consciousness.

Miho urgently approached and checked Dan So-mi’s condition.

It was a severe injury and it wouldn’t be strange if she died, but thanks to the Thousand Days Harmonization Art, she was still holding onto a faint breath.

“Think that you survived thanks to this, fox bitch. If it wasn’t for this, I would have taken your bead. Hahaha. Though this child wouldn’t have lived either way.”

Ryu Tae-seo laughed loudly and turned his back.

And as he flicked his fingers with a ‘ttak’, a pure white mist wrapped around his body and soon he disappeared.
