Chapter 475: Chapter 475

He walked down the path.

Moving forward along the coast, he looked around.

The figures of those who had noisily come finding him just a while ago were nowhere to be seen.

Rather, a stillness hung in the air, and it even felt as if no one lived here.

But Dan Woo-hyun didn’t let his guard down.

There is definitely someone.

His gaze headed to one place.

Following the path made going up the coast, there was a place that looked like a village where people stayed. His gaze stopped there and wouldn’t easily withdraw.

“…There are many.”

Countless figures could be seen inside the village.

The aura they gave off, as if they were all formidable masters, was immense, and the gazes looking at Dan Woo-hyun were full of wariness and ridicule.

He unwittingly frowned.

They wouldn’t not know who he was.

And yet, what is with that leisure?

At that unpleasant feeling, Dan Woo-hyun had already approached and stood tall in front of them.

“Looks like there are about twenty.”

“Hahaha. To have that leisure coming all the way here… Should we say you’re the Martial God as expected?”

A loud laughter was heard.

Looking at the place where the sound came from, he saw someone who looked like Ghost of the Hideous Mask sneering.

His expression was so confident that one could glimpse a victor’s leisure.

That oddly bothered him, and perhaps because of that, Dan Woo-hyun’s expression crumpled.

“That Heavenly Martial Emperor bastard is nowhere to be seen…”

“Do you think he would deal with the likes of you!”

A man shouted.

He spoke confidently and glared firmly at Dan Woo-hyun.

Even though he knew that his own strength didn’t reach the Martial God’s, perhaps intending not to be intimidated and submit because of that, he glared confidently and raised his voice.

However, Dan Woo-hyun ignored him and turned his head.

The place they were blocking.

At the very end of it, a small single pavilion could be seen.

It wasn’t as flashy as the Blood Demon Palace, but he could well know that this bizarre feeling definitely felt was because of the Heavenly Martial Emperor’s energy.

“Is he in that place?”

“Hmph, check for yourself. If you can pass through here, that is.”

At the incoming words, Dan Woo-hyun’s eyes became half-closed.

The killing intent formed in his slightly raised gaze stimulated the surroundings.

A tingling sensation, a feeling as if the whole body was being gouged with an awl, was enough to make even the former subordinates of the Eight Immortals feel fear.

“Then… I will go after killing you.”

Dan Woo-hyun obediently accepted their proposal.

If they didn’t step aside, they die.

This was a punishment for those who had blocked the Martial God’s path since a long time ago.

No matter how much time had passed, that fact wouldn’t change, so Dan Woo-hyun moved his body without an ounce of hesitation.

Sak!

He disappeared.

The figure of the opponent who was in front of their eyes could not be seen.

The moment the surprised ones widened their eyes in astonishment.

Seogeok!

“Eok?!”

A man’s body was cut in half and rolled on the ground.

They already knew that there was a difference in level. But perhaps they didn’t think it would be this tremendous, astonishment dwelled on their faces.

“K… Kill him!”

Ghost of the Hideous Mask shouted.

A panicked complexion was evident on his face.

When he saw Dan Woo-hyun last time, he judged that he could well win against that level.

Because he had managed to run away from his hands once anyway.

When he judged the situation at that time and Dan Woo-hyun’s ability himself, he thought that they could well block and kill him.

But what was that movement just now?

Seogeogeok!

The swung blade once again split the bodies and heads of two people.

A tremendous situation had occurred where the Heavenly Martial Emperor’s subordinates, whom it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say had no match in the world, instantly fell dead by threes and fours.

Ossak!

Ghost of the Hideous Mask felt a strange sensation and stepped back.

The moment Dan Woo-hyun’s face was soon seen right in front of his eyes, he felt tremendous fear to the point his legs gave out.

‘Wh… what. This bastard!’

Tremendous killing intent pierced his whole body.

To the extent that he couldn’t move his body.

Dan Woo-hyun, whose whole body was drenched in the splattered blood, smirked.

An elation he hadn’t felt in a long time.

“Which bastard will be able to live… I wonder.”

Dan Woo-hyun smirked and laughed, hanging a thicker smile on his lips than ever before.

At the sound coming from afar, Jang Sam-tae squeezed his eyes shut.

He knew without seeing.

About what kind of things were happening.

Considering the fact that no one who touched that Martial God, out of all people, survived, a situation so miserable that he couldn’t even imagine must have occurred.

“Egu, that human needs to fix his temper, really…”

Jang Sam-tae clicked his tongue and shook his head from side to side.

Just then, Jang Ryang, who was listening to the incoming sound, looked at Jang Sam-tae.

“Certainly… isn’t his temper truly foul?”

“Well, it’s not a one or two day thing, so I’m just enduring it and letting it go for now.”

At the same time he spat out those words, a guffawing laughter was heard.

Something was strange.

It was somehow different from Jang Ryang’s voice he had heard until now.

Frowning, Jang Sam-tae turned his gaze.

“Huh?”

Jang Ryang’s figure, which should originally be there, could not be seen. Only a ‘hwiing’ wind blew and wrapped around the surroundings.

That wind was so terribly cold that it gave goosebumps all over his body.

“Wh… at?”

Jang Sam-tae rubbed his arms and frowned.

“St… Sto… Stop it…!”

Ghost of the Hideous Mask trembled in his body.

It hadn’t even been a quarter of an hour since the fight started.

Ghost of the Hideous Mask, who had been confident of a perfect victory even if it was the Martial God, was left alone and sat slumped, shivering all over his body.

Considering that he had never felt terror towards not only the Heavenly Martial Emperor but also Ryu Tae-seo, the terror and fear that touched him for the first time in his life gave him terrible dread.

“What’s wrong? Where did that momentum from a while ago go?”

Dan Woo-hyun muttered quietly and asked.

Sneering as he approached step by step ‘jeobeok-jeobeok’, that figure was somehow heterogeneous, and his eyes were as if looking at a bug.

Even though he shouted to stop and backed away, Dan Woo-hyun didn’t stop and narrowed the distance, swinging his sword just like that.

It was a single sword strike that could never be blocked and couldn’t even be avoided.

Seogeok!

Dan Woo-hyun, who had cut Ghost of the Hideous Mask’s body into two pieces, left the spot and walked away.

He walked as if even a brief moment of time to feel this elation was a waste.

He continued to move forward along the path.

A quiet village where not even a single person’s gaze could be felt.

It seemed there was no one left anymore.

Left alone in that place, Dan Woo-hyun only looked at the pavilion. The more the distance with that place narrowed and slowly got closer, a bizarre energy stimulated his whole body.

It was as if it was calling Dan Woo-hyun.

Opening his eyes halfway, he stood in front of the pavilion and opened the door.

Kkiiiiik!

At the same time, the inside was revealed brightly.

That place where not a single person existed.

For some reason, the inside was only filled with a cold chill. If someone were to stay here, it was to the extent of wondering if they would surely freeze to death.

Frowning, he stepped further inside.

Every time he walked, the sound of his footsteps echoed loudly.

Soon stopping at the edge of it, Dan Woo-hyun frowned.

“There’s nothing?”

Yes, there was nothing.

Inside, let alone the furniture necessary for people to live, not even a trace of someone having lived there could be found. It seemed like it had never been used for any purpose, and it couldn’t even be known what it was built for.

But the strange thing was that a cool chill was being felt from somewhere. It seemed like bizarre energies were gathering in one place and swirling, and those were things even Dan Woo-hyun couldn’t easily feel.

The moment Dan Woo-hyun frowned and tried to look elsewhere.

“It’s not that there is nothing.”

Suddenly, a voice was heard from behind his back.

Dan Woo-hyun urgently tried to twist his body.

But the opponent was slightly faster than his reaction.

The moment he looked at the person who had closed the distance and approached in the blink of an eye.

Dan Woo-hyun opened his eyes wide.

“Are you surprised?”

Seogeok!

At the same time as looking at him, Dan Woo-hyun extended his sword.

He confirmed that the chest of the one who approached was cut deeply, and he also etched in his eyes the sight of him spurting blood.

However, he didn’t back down and narrowed the distance.

Extreme coldness reached out from the hand of Jang Ryang, who soon revealed his figure.

He tried to avoid it, but he couldn’t widen the already narrowed distance again, and he tried to block it, but even that was impossible.

It was that perfect of a surprise attack.

The momentum Jang Ryang spewed out was instantly trying to swallow Dan Woo-hyun from his legs to his head.

He tried to block the rushing extreme cold energy using the Thousand Days Harmonization Art, but it was absolutely not easy.

Jjeojeok!

“You bastard…”

“It’s impossible.”

Jang Ryang’s face slowly began to twist. It heaved this way and that as if putting bones together, and the sound of it was terribly disgusting.

Before long, a familiar face was revealed.

“Heavenly Martial Emperor…”

Dan Woo-hyun ground his teeth.

He thought something was strange, but he couldn’t even think a little bit that it would be the Heavenly Martial Emperor himself. That was why he had no choice but to let his guard down against him, and eventually this incident occurred.

“Heoheo, isn’t it the first time seeing each other face to face like this in a long time?”

Jjeojeok!

The ice shot up once again.

Dan Woo-hyun ground his teeth as he felt the ice covering even his face.

He was so resentful of the fact that he couldn’t even move a single finger, and as that anger soared to the top of his head, a murderous intent exploded in his eyes as if the Heavenly Killing Star of the past had revived.

“Now don’t worry about anything and rest. Originally, you didn’t have anything anyway, did you?”

“What… are you saying?”

“By now, Ryu Tae-seo should have finished his work and be on his way back. In Yueyang, that is.”

“…!?”

“Rest assured. Since she was a child who was already dead even if you woke up anyway.”

“…You bastard!”

Dan Woo-hyun let out a shout and trembled all over.

Only then did he understand what the Heavenly Martial Emperor had done.

He tried to undo the ice by raising the Thousand Days Harmonization Art to its extremes, but instead the ice covered him even faster, tightly wrapping Dan Woo-hyun.

The Heavenly Martial Emperor looked at that and smirked.

He stroked the wound on his chest and leisurely opened his mouth.

“It will be impossible. Because this time’s is much more perfect than before. I used an Ice Crystal…”

Jjeojeojeok!

The Heavenly Martial Emperor chuckled.

Soon, he reached out his hand towards Dan Woo-hyun, who couldn’t even speak anymore.

The gaze looking at him was very sorrowful yet tinged with interest, and he also seemed to think that Dan Woo-hyun’s appearance surrounded by ice was truly beautiful.

He opened his mouth while stroking Dan Woo-hyun’s face, which had become a lump of ice, with his extended hand.

“I wished you would go quietly… but in the end, you couldn’t.”

The seal was perfect.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that all the plans he had were completed without a hitch, but what was different from last time was.

“Keuk!”

The Heavenly Martial Emperor slumped down and clutched his chest.

The wound cut by Dan Woo-hyun was deep.

The fact that immortal power was streaming out was unusual.

Giving a bitter smile, he forcefully got up from his seat.

In order to perfectly circulate the energy of the Ice Crystal, there were still many things to do.

“This time you will definitely… never wake up again.”

Kwang-!

The huge door closed.

At the same time, the chill that had begun to flow from inside to outside lingered inside. That was an extreme cold energy that would never allow a person’s approach.

It was an absolute seal painstakingly created by the Ten Thousand Year Ice Crystal and the Heavenly Martial Emperor.
