Book 2: Chapter 172: Hae-il (7)

nSlice.
nThe Heavenly Demon, the Sword Saint, and the young Blood Demon candidate
nThe spot where the three of their auras converged was easily sliced again.
nYou-
nThe Heavenly Demons gaze headed toward Sui Khan.
nThere was only one thing he knew about Sui Khan.
nLee Soo Hyuk.
nIt was just his name.
nHe had never paid any special attention to this person.
nHe had not seemed very strong. He thought that it was this persons years of experience that made him get a decent level of treatment in young master Kims group.
nWhat is that?
nHowever, the power he was using right now was odd.
nThis was different from the typical martial arts.
nChoi Han and Choi Jung Soo. Unlike the two of them, who seemed to use some sort of aura with their sword, he did not feel any sort of aura from this person.
nInstead, this-
nWill?
nI will slash it.
nThat will was the only thing he could read from this sword.
nThere was no sword art or stylish movements. The way it simply slashed through efficiently made the Heavenly Demon feel fear.
nPutting your will, your desires into a sword.
nWasnt that truly reaching the level of the Formless Sword?
nThe Formless Sword was the highest level someone could reach with the sword.
nThe Heavenly Demon had only seen it described in books, and had never reached that level despite arriving at the Profound Realm.
nHe simply thought that once he arrived at the Nature Realm, he would be able to observe nature and be able to place his will into the sword.
nBut to be able to see something that he believed to be the Formless Sword like this
nLee Soo Hyuk.
nThis person was definitely not in the Profound Realm or even the Unrestrained Realm.
nHowever, his will was in his sword.
nHa!
nThe Heavenly Demon laughed.
nThe world truly is vast.
nAll sorts of different kinds of strength that I have never experienced before exist in the world.
nJust realizing this made this trip to the Martial Arts world worth it for the Heavenly Demon.
nThe Heavenly Demon made eye contact with Lee Soo Hyuk.
nAre you slacking off?
nThe Heavenly Demon could not stand still after hearing those nonchalant words.
nHe laughed and immediately started moving.
nBeing around young master Kim Hae-ils group gave him many reasons to laugh.
nSlacking off? Of course not.
nThe position of Heavenly Demon was not something he could gain by slacking off.
nOooooo-
nHis sword started roaring again.
nThe Sovereign Steps of the Heavenly Demon, which was called the steps of a supreme ruler He used those steps as he headed toward the young Blood Demon candidate.
nLee Soo Hyuk leisurely followed behind him before making eye contact with the Sword Saint.
nYou cant lose to him, right?
nHis words stirred a fire in the Sword Saints eyes.
nOf course.
nThe golden light that came out of the Sword Saints sword headed toward the young Blood Demon candidate, Hoya.
nBoom.
nAs if to prove that he rose to the position of the greatest swordsman in the Orthodox faction with his greatsword, there were strong vibrations each time he swung his sword.
nSui Khan briefly observed Hoya, who was fighting against the Sword Saint and the Heavenly Demon, before making an assessment.
nBased on this worlds viewpoint, he should be at the initial stages of the Profound Realm.
nTo reach the Profound Realm in his late teens or early twenties
nAlthough this was definitely an extremely high level of arts, he should not be able to handle the Heavenly Demon, who had reached the middle stages of the Profound Realm, and the Sword Saint, who, despite being in the late stages of the Unrestrained Realm, has faced all sorts of hardships in his life.
nBaaaaang! Baaaaang!
nSui Khans gaze moved toward the direction of the loud explosions.
nThe other young Blood Demon candidates blue aura was spreading out in all directions.
nRing ring!
nHe couldnt tell whether she was trying to cast a formation or some sort of spell, but the endless attacks of the white yong and the black yong were restricting her movements.
nI guess they will finish soon.
nChoi Han and Choi Jung Soo worked better together than he had expected.
nBut it made sense as their styles had the same roots but grew in different directions. They would be able to support each others lacking areas to fight better together.
n.
nSui Khan then made eye contact with someone.
nIt was the man with the half-white hair, Ron. Beacrox was standing next to him as well.
nSui Khan quietly observed Beacrox, who had his greatsword on his back while looking out into the battlefield, before turning his gaze.
nHe then started to walk.
nThere are a lot of places to slash.
nSlash.
nHis sword moved to find another spot to slash.
nBeacrox was staring at his movements.
nIm heading out now.
nAfter nodding his head at his father, Beacrox was left alone for the first time in a long while.
nHe would usually have Toonka, Durst, or Number 7 with him.
nBeacrox somehow ended up cleaning up after the troublemakers.
nHowever, Toonka was not here yet and Durst was coming with the rear group because he thought that he might throw up and faint because of all of the jiangshis.
nFurthermore, Number 7 was in the Pinnacle Demons hands and he had no idea whether that guy was dead or alive. Well, he was probably alive, but he had no idea what kind of condition that man would be in.
nAccording to the Pinnacle Demon, he was begging her to knock him unconscious, but she didnt care about what he had to say.
nThe only thing on Beacroxs mind right now was a single persons voice.
nSlash.
nSui Khan, who was still slashing the auras of the martial artists
nHis voice was echoing in Beacroxs ears.
nMy original plan was to ask little Han what he thought, but I think it would suit you well.
nBeacrox. Do you want to learn how to use my sword?
nSui Khan had asked so casually, as if he was asking Beacrox what he wanted to eat.
nOf course, I cant give this ability to you. I need to use it as well. However, I think I know the conditions required to awaken this ability. But I have no idea whether you will also awaken it.
nBeacrox also asked back nonchalantly since Sui Khan was asking so casually.
nWhy me?
nSui Khan smiled at that question.
nHe looked at Beacrox with an entertained gaze as he responded.
nRather than Choi Han, who knows how to look around, I think it is right for you. In my opinion, of everybody here, you are the most-
nHe trailed off for a bit before answering without any hesitation.
nYou look the most stubborn.
nSui Khan said that Beacrox seemed to be the most stubborn in the group.
nI used to be quite the stubborn person. You resemble how I used to be.
nSui Khan then told him to think about it and never brought it up again.
nHowever, Beacrox knew that the offer was still on the table.
nHe also knew that he should give him an answer soon.
n.
nWhat should he do?
nHis contemplative gaze noticed the blue aura that was brutally being ripped apart by a black aura.
nThey got her.
nHe could see that Choi Han had one of the young Blood Demon candidates by the collar.
nBeacrox looked at him and thought to himself.
nEither way, I cant just stay as is.
nHe needed to do something.
nThe others were all geniuses whose growth speed was much faster than his own.
nOf course, he thought that he was also quite skilled.
nHowever, if he was said to have a brilliant mind, these people were geniuses.
nThat fact didnt make him feel a sense of inferiority. However, it did not fit his personality to do nothing like this.
nThat was all.
nThat was the reason Beacrox decided to chat with Sui Khan about this.
nHes here.
nHis body moved.
nCale Henituse.
nHe had entered the castle.
nWind was wrapped around his legs.
nBeacrox was certain that this was the invisible Raons magic.
nThe seal on Cales wind power had yet to be released.
nMm.
nBeacrox stopped for a moment.
nThis is weird.
nyoung master Cale Henituse.
nIs it okay for him to be feeling this normal?
nShouldnt he have coughed up some blood after using so much of his strength?
nBeacrox looked unsettled.
nHe subconsciously felt that something big was about to happen.
nHowever, he could not just open his mouth to ask about it.
nEither way, things were progressing well right now.
nHowever, Cale flinched.
nAs he leisurely entered into Yunnan Castle
nOnce he walked past the broken castle wall Cale tried to take a look around.
nHae-il-nim.
nBut he couldnt do that.
nChoi Han walked toward him.
nHe was holding Yoon by the collar, dragging her on the ground.
nUhh.ugh.
nThe young Blood Demon candidate could not fully maintain her consciousness. She had a deep cut on her side and quite a bit of the accessories on her body were destroyed.
nChoi Han nonchalantly dragged her over and placed her in front of Cale.
nUgh!
nThe young Blood Demon candidate let out a pain-filled groan.
nHe doesnt usually treat people so crudely?
nHe was surprised at Choi Han acting so harshly, but he soon accepted it.
nWell, she probably ran her mouth off and made Choi Han angry.
nThere must be a reason for this innocent punk to get so angry. Furthermore, Cale didnt really care since she was the enemy anyway.
nShe was one of the people who tried to turn the residents of Yunnan Castle into jiangshis.
nChoi Jung Soo came over at that moment and opened his mouth.
nHey. This girl said that she was going to turn Raon into a jiangshi!
nWhat?
nCale was silent for a moment and then responded. Choi Jung Soo flinched after seeing Cales gaze.
nUhh, mm. Thats what she said! I definitely heard it! My uncle heard it too!
nHe then quickly disappeared, saying that he would go help the others.
nHuman! I wont turn into a jiangshi! I am great and mighty! But why is Choi Jung Soo suddenly running away like that? Did he do something wrong?
nHe let Raons comments in one ear and out the other.
nInstead, Cale crouched down to look down at the young Blood Demon candidate who was groaning and unable to fully maintain her consciousness.
nPat pat.
nHe patted her cheek.
nUgh.
nThat action made Yoon barely open her eyes. She was currently full of rage.
nThe pain from having her side cut was not that bad for her.
nThey dare, they dare-!
nHow could they do such things to someone who might become the master of the great Blue Bloods?!
nThe two swordsmen had leisurely attacked her as if they were fighting against a child.
nYoon could not release her anger after feeling like she had ended up as the prey.
nAfter everything I did to get this far?!
nA young Blood Demon candidate. She had overcome numerous pain and suffering to rise to this position.
nHer side bleeding like this was nothing in comparison.
nI wont let them get away with this.
nShe got swept up in an attack and lost consciousness, which allowed her collar to get caught by the enemy, but there was still a chance.
nPlus, Im dead if I return like this.
nWhat followed her anger was anxiety and fear.
nThere was only one result for young Blood Demon candidates who failed.
nShe did not want to meet such an ending.
nI still have enough strength.
nHalf of her accessories were destroyed, but she could use the other half to cast a spell and a formation.
nShe would then retreat before aiming for another opportunity.
nOo
nShe let out a fake groan before raising up her eyelids, which she had struggled to lift, a little more. She wanted to see what kind of situation she was in right now.
n!
nShe then made eye contact.
nThose dark brown eyes looking down at her
nYoon suddenly felt an immense aura overwhelming her.
nIt was a thick pressure that made her feel suffocated.
nUgh, ugh!
nShe felt suffocated despite nobody choking her.
nShe could not think about anything.
nWrath.
nFear.
nAnxiety.
nThis was an emotion that a person would only feel after thinking about and recognizing all of those emotions.
nHowever, her mind could not even think about that right now.
nHer mind was just completely white and she could not process anything.
nThere was nothing she could do right now.
nHelpless.
nThat was the only word to describe her current situation.
n.
nShe could not even speak.
nShe felt as if she was going to die.
nThis was also not a conscious thought.
nIt felt like the absolute truth and the only logical thing.
nShe felt that acting rashly against the owner of these eyes would make her die.
nHahaha! This is it! Cale, lets use this power properly for once! It will even make a god cower!
nCale ignored the Dominating Aura and opened his mouth.
nAn extremely small aura was roaming around him.
nWhat is the goal of the Blood Cult?
nNo.
nCale didnt care about the goal of the Blood Cult.
nHe observed the young Blood Demon candidate who supposedly said that she would turn Raon into a jiangshi and asked.
nHey. Where is your house?
nYoon, who was completely stiff and could not say anything, could finally breathe out once Cale looked away from her.
nCale was looking at the other young Blood Demon candidate, Hoya, who was captured by the Heavenly Demon and being dragged over.
nYou live in the same place as her, right? You both live in the Blood Cult?
nCale would not be satisfied with capturing a portion of the Blood Cult at Yunnan Castle.
nThere was only one thing he wanted.
nCompletely wiping out the Blood Cult at once.
nThat was the only thing he wanted.
nHuff, huff.
nCale looked at Hoya, who was breathing heavily and shaking. Once his gaze returned to Yoon
nHe smiled and asked.
nEither of you can spit out where you live.
nIf you want to live.
nCale didnt say those words but Yoon felt as if she heard it clearly.
nH, Hainan-
nShe ended up answering the question.
nIt could not be helped.
nThe only thing that a prey that wanted to survive in front of an overbearing predator could do was to follow their orders.
nHmm?
nCale was surprised.
nNot Nanman?
nYoon was shaking and unable to answer because of his aura. The other candidate, Hoya, quickly shouted.
nNanman is just a cover! T, that place is a trap that was created in case we were found-
nYoon was flabbergasted.
nShe could clearly feel Hoyas desire to live from his answer. However, she kept quiet.
nYoung master Kim was right in front of her.
nWow.
nCale was amazed.
nThey had thought that Nanman was where the core of the Blood Cult would be located.
nBut that was also a trap?
nThey are definitely a step higher than the Black Bloods we met in Xiaolen.
nAs expected of the people who planned to start the Great War of the Triumvirate, they were cautious and extremely great and hiding themselves.
nHuman, where is Hainan?
nCale nonchalantly commented.
nAn island.
nHainan was the name of an island.
nIt was an island farthest south of the Central Plains and the home of the famous Hainan Clan.
nThere were many islands around Hainan.
nAn island?
nCale flinched.
nThe Sky Eating Water cautiously asked in an extremely upbeat and excited voice.
nIf it is an island, it is going to be surrounded on all sides by the ocean?
nUhh, mm
nIt is surrounded by water?
nMm.
nCale, we really might be able to sweep them away at once. Dont you agree?
nFor now Lets ignore that.
nCale pretended not to hear the Sky Eating Waters extremely excited voice.
