Chapter 27: Chapter 27
A moment later, the wall completely collapsed from the impact of crashing into Mount Tai One Fist.
Kugugu…
The Supreme King Sect disciples, who had lost their minds at the shocking result, came to their senses belatedly at the loud noise and moved in perfect order.
“S-Squad Leader!”
“Are you alright!”
Soon, while they were trying to pull out Mount Tai One Fist who was crushed under the collapsed wall.
“…….”
Except for Jeok-geom and Seol Ran, the Plum Blossom Swordsmen were looking at Cheon-hwi with expressions of not knowing whether this was a dream or reality.
It was an outstanding martial prowess enough to make one lose their mind.
Of course, the martial prowess he had shown at the Five Mountains Gathering five years ago was also shocking, but it was a shock of a different caliber than back then.
“It can’t even be compared to back then.”
“……To think it’s such martial prowess.”
“So this is why our martial Junior Brother and martial Junior Sister die for anything Martial Uncle Cheon-hwi says.”
Unlike them who were surprised, Jeok-geom and Seol Ran, who had been smiling radiantly since Cheon-hwi’s appearance, muttered calmly.
“As expected of Martial Uncle.”
“As expected of Martial Uncle.”
The two who said the exact same words looked at each other, laughed softly, and nodded their heads.
“……!”
At that time, Jeok-geom’s two eyes, which were looking over Seol Ran’s shoulder, grew endlessly large.
“Martial Senior Brother?”
Around the time Seol Ran, who was looking at Jeok-geom’s rapidly changing expression, called out in panic.
Tat!
Jeok-geom roughly kicked off the ground.
Following Jeok-geom, who passed by her while even unfolding the Sweeping Leaf Kick Technique which consumed a lot of internal energy, Seol Ran turned her head.
And she was able to know the reason.
At the end of her sight, Jeok-geom and a man and a woman were hugging each other tightly.
“Family…….”
A bitter smile naturally hovered around her mouth as she watched Jeok-geom’s harmonious figure.
At that time, a heterogeneous sound was heard.
Tududuk…
The collapsed wall heaved greatly, and Mount Tai One Fist revealed his figure.
At the moment the Supreme Scenery Squad members, who were clearing the stones, stared at Mount Tai One Fist who looked fine and felt relieved thinking ‘I knew it’.
“Keut.”
Mount Tai One Fist let out a short groan and grabbed his abdomen that had suffered internal injuries.
“S-Squad Leader!”
“A-Are you alright?”
As a Supreme King Sect disciple hurriedly approached to support him, Mount Tai One Fist raised his giant hand, which was as big as a pot lid, and restrained him.
At first glance he looked fine, but his internal organs had been shaken violently by Cheon-hwi’s Internal Family Heavy Hand Art, so his insides were in a bad state.
Pajik…
Mount Tai One Fist, whose veins popped out on his forehead as if he was enduring the pain, with difficulty opened his mouth.
“I am…… fine.”
Clenching his teeth, he urgently drew up all the internal energy of the Mount Tai Sword Art.
Perhaps thanks to forcibly calming his internal injuries with internal energy, his complexion became much more comfortable, but his expression was stiff.
‘To think it’s this much from just one strike.’
Having stabilized, he glared at Cheon-hwi.
Just one fist.
However, just with that, he, who had already reached the level of a fist master, could tell how strong that young Taoist bastard was.
Long wrinkles formed on his forehead.
‘He is an enemy I must never let my guard down against.’
Around that time, Cheon-hwi looked at Mount Tai One Fist and those standing centered around him.
‘Was he really the Squad Leader?’
Cheon-hwi tilted his head.
To be called a Squad Leader, Mount Tai One Fist’s momentum and skills were far too trivial.
From what he saw, even compared to the ones standing next to him, it was about the same.
“Who are you?”
At that time, Mount Tai One Fist spoke to him.
“Me?”
Cheon-hwi asked back with a smirk, and shook his sleeve drawn with red plum blossoms.
“Can’t you see this? Or are you so ignorant that you don’t know even after seeing this?”
Mount Tai One Fist’s face turned bright red.
It was already a situation where he was boiling with anger just from being beaten by the young Taoist bastard, but now he was even openly ridiculed, so his insides felt like they were going to burst from anger.
“T-To think such a bastard is a Taoist of the Mount Hua Sect!”
Cheon-hwi looked at Mount Tai One Fist speaking while trembling, and stopped his shaking hand.
“What, you knew.”
Kkadeudeuk!
Far from stopping, at the continuous sarcasm, Mount Tai One Fist’s face turned bright red.
“You basteeeerd!”
He, who eventually could not hold back his anger and spewed it out, stomped his foot loudly with a kung.
“Everyone form up the ranks!”
He let out a ringing lion’s roar.
“Your command!”
The Supreme King Sect disciples, no. The Supreme Scenery Squad members, who spat out energetic sounds, scattered in all directions and drew a circle.
‘Right, try doing something.’
Cheon-hwi waited for the next action.
Soon, the Supreme Scenery Squad members surrounding him took up a starting stance while exuding a thick killing intent.
Cheon-hwi’s eyes narrowed.
An atmosphere and momentum much sharper than just before was felt, but…….
‘I was looking forward to it, but it’s a disappointment.’
Cheon-hwi felt the excitement fade away.
He didn’t even hope for the Sword Demon Array or the Plum Blossom Sword Formation.
He just wanted it to be a little worthwhile to deal with, but this wasn’t even up to that level.
‘I waited for nothing.’
Cheon-hwi’s expression cooled down sourly.
However, such an action was being reflected as a different appearance to others.
‘Hehe, he is unable to move from the pressure of the Supreme Scenery Array!’
Mount Tai One Fist’s stiff face loosened.
No matter how much of an expert he was, there was no matching numbers.
“No matter how much of an expert you are, you will never be able to escape the Supreme Scenery Array!”
At Mount Tai One Fist’s shout steeped with confidence, the morale of the Supreme Scenery Squad members rose.
“Everyone attack!”
Riding the momentum, Mount Tai One Fist commanded.
Tat! Tat!
The Supreme Scenery Squad members rushed in from all directions at the same time, as if they were one body.
Cheon-hwi thoroughly scanned them.
The swords, blades, fists, and palms covering him.
The weapons and exclusive martial arts they possessed were various, but they were unified.
Seueuk…
Cheon-hwi, who was watching, raised his index finger.
Seeing his behavior of suddenly raising his index finger instead of drawing his sword, a cold sneer hovered on the faces of the Supreme Scenery Squad members.
But they did not know.
That it was their death sentence.
Beonjjeok!
A red light illuminated the surroundings, and beautiful plum blossoms bloomed brightly from all directions.
A secret scenery beautiful enough to make one lose their mind.
However, the result from that was gruesome.
Teolsseok… Teolsseok…
Cold corpses with holes pierced in their foreheads rolled around on the floor from all directions.
“That’s!”
Go Gye-yeong, who was resolving his reunion with Jeok-geom, opened his two eyes roundly and looked ahead.
‘Right! It was that! That red light emitted from the index finger had penetrated the Cold-Faced Blade Ghost.’
Jeok-geom, who was watching from the side, was also astonished.
“T-That on earth is…….”
He had served Cheon-hwi for five years and thought he knew well about him.
But that was a miscalculation.
‘Did the Mount Hua Sect have such a finger technique?’
Jeok-geom recalled the finger technique from just before.
The plum blossoms that bloomed along with the red light from the index finger were beautiful, but cruel.
‘When did he learn such a martial art again…….’
Jeok-geom calmed his surprised heart.
Was it only today, even normally he didn’t even think of following Cheon-hwi.
He thought his talent was outstanding since he was directly chosen by his master, but after meeting Cheon-hwi, he realized.
Compared to Cheon-hwi, his talent was nothing more than a firefly in front of the sun.
‘As expected of Martial Uncle.’
While Jeok-geom was accepting it like that.
“……!”
The remaining Plum Blossom Swordsmen were confused by the finger technique Cheon-hwi had unfolded just before.
They were surprised by the martial art they saw for the first time in their lives, and then immediately asked Seol Ran, who seemed likely to know about this situation.
“M-Martial Junior Sister. What is that?”
“Did our sect have such a finger technique?”
“Do you know, Martial Junior Sister?”
Seol Ran shook her head at the questions of her martial senior brothers directed towards her.
“I also do not know.”
The inside of her mouth dried up completely.
‘He took care of all the opponents we found overwhelming before I could even blink.’
She, too, felt like her chest would burst from surprise, like the other Plum Blossom Swordsmen.
‘The Martial Uncle Cheon-hwi I have been seeing all this time was not everything. Where is the end.’
An even deeper respect than before dwelled in her pupils looking at Cheon-hwi.
At that time.
Huk!
Cheon-hwi’s figure vanished.
“……!”
The rushing Supreme Scenery Squad members glared their eyes at Cheon-hwi’s suddenly disappeared figure.
Sswaeaek!
Following that, a sharp sound of tearing the air was heard behind them.
Paang!
Their waists bent like a sickle.
Cheon-hwi, who repeated appearing and disappearing like a mirage, rummaged through them and reaped their lifelines.
“The S-Supreme Scenery Array is…….”
Mount Tai One Fist opened his mouth wide.
The Supreme Scenery Array was a formation technique that pressured while amplifying the internal energy of the Supreme Scenery Squad members.
‘To break that with strength…….’
Goosebumps rose on his spine.
Even if it was him, could he break the Supreme Scenery Array with strength?
He shook his head left and right.
Even if Mount Tai One Fist possessed sixty years of internal energy, the ones unfolding the Supreme Scenery Array numbered around fifty.
“If it goes on like this…….”
Realizing that he and the Supreme Scenery Squad had started being driven into a corner at some point, Mount Tai One Fist urgently drew up his internal energy.
Soon, he glared at Cheon-hwi, who was massacring the Supreme Scenery Squad members, and aimed for an opening.
‘There is only an opportunity for one strike!’
His two eyes half-opened.
Now there was only one method.
The only method was to unfold his one and only ultimate technique, the Heavenly True Fist, which had bestowed him the nickname of Mount Tai One Fist in the past.
He, who had gathered all his internal energy into his fist, observed Cheon-hwi for a moment.
‘Now is the time!’
As soon as he saw Cheon-hwi grabbing a Supreme Scenery Squad member’s neck, he immediately kicked off the ground.
Along with that, he thrust out his right fist.
Huuuung!
A fierce storm arose.
Following that, at the time the giant palm shadow of the Heavenly True Fist covered Cheon-hwi like a wave.
“I was wondering when you would come.”
Cheon-hwi looked at him and waved his hand.
Paang!
The air between the two exploded.
“……!”
Mount Tai One Fist opened his mouth wide.
The Heavenly True Fist he unfolded with all his power had transformed and disappeared in the middle just by a hand gesture.
“T-That makes no sense…….”
Cheon-hwi, who was looking at the astonished Mount Tai One Fist, reached out his hand and gripped his neck.
“Kek!”
Mount Tai One Fist was grabbing Cheon-hwi’s right hand with both his hands to escape somehow.
“Keo, keok!”
Cheon-hwi looked at his forearm where even the blood vessels protruded, then tilted his head and whispered.
“Why are the kids so frail?”
“……!”
Mount Tai One Fist glared his two eyes.
What kind of nonsensical talk was that.
‘Frail? You bastard are the strong one!’
“Eup, eup!”
However, his thought could not be spat out as words due to the hand grabbing his neck.
“My interest isn’t rising either.”
Cheon-hwi indifferently stared at the struggling Mount Tai One Fist and put strength into his hand.
Ttudududuk…
His neck bones broke, and his life ended.
Cheon-hwi, who was looking at Mount Tai One Fist’s two soulless pupils, tossed him to the side.
The corpse that flew a distance of three zhang flew into the middle of the Supreme Scenery Squad members.
Gulp…
They stuck their tongues out and lost their words looking at the dead corpse of Mount Tai One Fist.
