Chapter 487: Chapter 487

Bang-!

Namgung Cheon stepped forward first and swung his sword.

The extending sword strike was faster and more precise than ever. A decisive move aiming for the opponent’s uvula. It was a surprise attack, and until the moment he approached, Gal Hwang could not properly confirm his presence.

“Ugh!”

He twisted his neck as it was and altered the direction.

The blade narrowly grazed past, and at the same time, Gal Hwang’s gaze moved to the side. Grasping Namgung Cheon’s movement, he tried to pour out a palm strike towards that place.

However, it was only a thought.

The moment he was about to thrust his hand, something flew in.

As he sprang up kicking the ground in surprise, Sado Hak’s palm force poured down and struck the ground with a ‘Bang!’ sound.

A tremendous explosion and its wave were transmitted.

It was enough to make his whole body tingle.

Gal Hwang frowned.

“You beggar-like bastards!”

“Haha, since it seems impossible alone, the two of us are doing it. It is because we judged that your power is sufficiently fearsome, so isn’t it a good thing?”

Gal Hwang glared at the approaching Namgung Cheon while grinding his teeth.

If it were a one-on-one situation, he would never lose.

Although Namgung Cheon’s swordsmanship was not without its quite bizarre aspects, as long as his eyes got used to it, he was confident he could easily break it.

However, the biggest problem in the current situation was none other than the pincer attack.

The pincer attack of the two people matched well.

Like people who had known each other well for a long time, every time they unfolded a move, they accurately grasped the gap that was created and filled it up.

From Gal Hwang’s perspective, it was an unfavorable development.

‘If this happens…’

Gal Hwang knew.

Such an unfavorable fight was not good the longer it dragged on.

When the thought occurred that he had to end the fight in the shortest time possible, his mind began to grow impatient little by little. This was because the two people’s skills were more extraordinary than he had thought.

If even Bi Cheon-ung was at this place, Gal Hwang would have his neck slit without being able to endure for long at all.

Clang Clang Clang Clang-!

At that time, Namgung Cheon’s sword poured in.

An intimidation as if an absolute ruling emperor was swinging a sword. The strong power felt every time he thrusted his sword seemed to harbor the momentum of an emperor.

It was heavy.

Among those he had met recently, Namgung Cheon and Sado Hak were undoubtedly the most threatening beings.

Knowing that, Gal Hwang raised his power even more.

Blocking the fast-striking blade, he turned his back. He saw Sado Hak’s leg, which had approached at some point, swinging towards his head.

Twisting his body to avoid it, he reached out his hand at the same time.

Striking away the blade stabbing in from behind, he struck out a palm force.

Bang!

The palm force stretching from his hand aimed at Namgung Cheon’s back, but as if knowing it, Sado Hak’s energy stretched out and offset Gal Hwang’s palm force.

“You bastards…!”

Gal Hwang ground his teeth even more.

Their movements were too systematic.

Although it was a move that dug into the gaps between gaps, they showed movements as if they were reading him and broke them one by one.

Stepping on the ground, Gal Hwang glared at the two people.

His resentful expression was evident.

At that time, Sado Hak chuckled.

There was no need to even mention that it was an expression full of obvious mockery.

“We were really scared once upon a time. Seeing as it has become like this, isn’t it just the same?”

“Haha, it really is.”

Sado Hak and Namgung Cheon nodded to each other and laughed.

Saying it was the same did not mean anything else.

Originally, human movements are bound to be limited. How to extend a sword, also how to avoid it, whether to dig into weak points or not, whether to dodge or not, these movements are things one starts learning most fundamentally the moment they learn martial arts, and also things they can never forget even after learning martial arts.

And all those things are bound to be similar even if divided into novices, intermediates, and experts, because of the limits that the human body possesses.

Because the realm is different, they can see it a little faster. Or because every person’s experience is different, those who have accumulated a little more experience make more predictions and think about the next move.

This was exactly the difference between a novice and an expert.

And if this was at a comparable level, eventually predicting that movement and attacking would become nothing.

Even if it was those who had reached the Half Immortal state and were once in the Eight Immortals.

“You, you will die today…”

Namgung Cheon let out a hearty laugh.

However, Sado Hak and Namgung Cheon knew. That the opponent had not yet gone all out. The strict difference began to emerge from there, but there was a reason they were provoking him despite that.

To draw out the opponent’s full power as quickly as possible.

That would become the one move that decides the victory or defeat of this fight.

“Sons of bitches!”

Thump!

Gal Hwang took a step and shouted.

It was nothing more than an action of his foot touching the ground at best, but the surroundings shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and the place he stepped on caved in, scattering the fragments in all directions.

Perhaps due to the countless fragments pouring out like hidden weapons, Namgung Cheon and Sado Hak urgently threw their bodies and dodged it.

Swoosh!

The moment they thought Gal Hwang’s figure had disappeared, he revealed himself behind Namgung Cheon.

Bang!

The moment Sado Hak realized that and tried to block by extending a move, Gal Hwang’s palm force swung even faster and struck Namgung Cheon.

With a tremendous sound, Namgung Cheon’s body flew away.

Seeing him splitting the ground and being pushed back continuously, no one would think he could possibly be alive. However, the pushed-back Namgung Cheon suddenly stood up from his spot and threw his body into the air, and at the same time, the finger technique Gal Hwang flew in with struck the ground.

Thwack!

Sado Hak had already approached Gal Hwang’s side and reached out his hand. The touch containing extreme demonic energy was truly like the touch of death.

It felt like it would take away everything the moment it touched.

Pow!

However, Gal Hwang lightly struck away the wrist and twisted his body.

At the same time as discovering a small gap, the extended leg struck Sado Hak’s chest.

Smack!

“Urgh!”

Sado Hak felt extreme pain.

It was just a simple kicking technique at best, but the power loaded on it was by no means at a level to be considered a joke.

Sado Hak flew away just like that, bumped into a tree, and violently vomited blood.

“Idiotic bastards! Did you really think people like you could defeat me?”

Gal Hwang shouted full of confidence and glared at the two people. Obviously, Namgung Cheon and Sado Hak were stronger than he had thought, but he too was one who had reached the Eight Immortals and accumulated countless experiences over a long time.

He was by no means an entity that those who had just stepped onto the threshold could lightly defeat.

Because of that, Gal Hwang was more confident than ever, and also due to soaring anger, he spat out heat as if he would never leave them alone.

At that time.

Spurt!

“Argh!”

Suddenly, blood spurted from Gal Hwang’s chest.

Staggering greatly once, he barely balanced himself and stepped on the ground.

What had happened?

At the moment he made a dumbfounded expression because it was an incomprehensible situation, Sado Hak and Namgung Cheon sighed ‘Phew’ and laughed.

“We definitely won’t die peacefully. But don’t look down on us too much. Even though we look like this, we have years spent together with that Martial God.”

“…!”

Namgung Cheon and Sado Hak brushed off the dirt on their clothes.

Confidence still dwelled on their expressions, which was absolute trust and belief in Dan U-hyeon.

Even though those years could be called long or short. Since it was just about two or three years of time. However, it was not that there was no learning by his side.

Furthermore, these two had recently received teachings from not only Miho but also Cheon Mun-gwang and Nam Ju-ryeon.

Losing when facing one person like Gal Hwang could never happen.

This was a betrayal to Dan U-hyeon, and their pride regarding the three people who bestowed teachings upon them with belief and trust. They did not want to crush this pride.

“Sons of b-bitches, daring to do this to Gal Hwang…”

Gal Hwang could not control his surging anger.

Even if he tried to calm down and regain his composure, every time he saw that relaxed appearance, he could not suppress it.

It was because the fact that he was being beaten by entities he considered trivial bugs trampled on the long-held pride of a martial artist he possessed.

Anger surged.

Since he could not suppress it, his gaze looking at the opponents only saw one thing.

Murderous intent.

The desire to kill.

Even though it was clearly the most necessary thing for a martial artist, as well as the thing that should be restrained the most, it seemed that such things were no longer visible in Gal Hwang’s eyes.

Since there was only the will to definitely kill, he soon made the worst choice.

If Ryu Tae-seo or others were here, they would have calmed him down, but the fact that Gal Hwang was alone in this place ended up acting as a fatal blind spot.

He could see nothing in his eyes.

The heart that only wanted to kill the opponents conversely made Gal Hwang’s mind even more impatient and made his movements simple.

Bang!

Taking a step, he shot forward.

In an instant, he narrowed the distance to the two people.

Because his desire to kill both people was strong rather than focusing on one person, the momentum formed on Gal Hwang’s hands soared more fiercely than ever.

Namgung Cheon and Sado Hak also felt that.

They tried to escape from the rapidly approaching Gal Hwang, but seeing him moving even faster, they realized they could not.

If so, this side also had to prepare a countermove.

They instinctively knew that if they felt they could not dodge and could not block, suppressing with a power that overwhelmed the opponent was the best option.

They extended out.

The energy of the three people gathered towards one place.

Bang!

A violent sound was heard.

With fragments flying in all directions, a massive crater formed in the exploded spot. The tremendous explosion and power, enough that not even a trace of humans was visible, was to the extent that anyone who saw it would unanimously call it a natural disaster.

There was no one in the place where the massive crater was dug.

Let alone Namgung Cheon, even the figures of Sado Hak and Gal Hwang were not visible.

What had happened?

“Cough!”

Eventually, a sound was heard.

Sado Hak, who had flown more than a few zhang, vomited blood and stood up with difficulty. Seeing the blood flowing from his mouth and his body condition, it could be known that he had suffered internal injuries.

However, even so, he stood up.

Because lying down in this situation was synonymous with asking to be killed.

Sado Hak’s gaze turned.

He looked for Namgung Cheon’s figure first. He could see him coughing roughly and panting for breath at a place quite far from where Sado Hak was.

Sado Hak felt relieved and turned his gaze elsewhere.

“Keok!”

And he saw it.

At the end of Sado Hak’s gaze was Gal Hwang’s figure. His appearance, having flown far away, was gruesome beyond description. Perhaps because he had received the ultimate internal energy of the two people with his whole body, his body had already become battered.

Also, while flying away due to that force, he bumped into a tree, and a huge tree branch soaked in blood was piercing through his chest.

“Cough…”

Gal Hwang vomited blood and trembled violently.

Since his heart was already pierced, he could not live.

“D-damn…”

His small voice was heard stuttering.
