Chapter 484 – Staking Everything on a War Without Retreat (3)

Ji Cheon-hwi glared with blazing eyes at Dam Ho walking toward him.

Dam Ho's peculiar gait that was out of sync with his heartbeat ominously stimulated people's hearts. Even a martial artist who'd reached the same realm as Ji Cheon-hwi was affected, so there was no need to mention his disciples.

Gulp!

The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva rang out as loud as thunder. But he didn't even notice that he'd swallowed saliva so loudly. That's how overwhelmed he was by Dam Ho's appearance approaching them.

Though numerous scholars surrounded the area, Dam Ho was walking only toward Ji Cheon-hwi without even glancing at them as if in an uninhabited land. Such behavior of his was arrogant to the point of completely ignoring Myeongil Academy's scholars. Yet not a single person dared step forward rashly.

The martial artist called Dam Ho was not an existence their common sense worked on. His course of action until now had proven that.

At first glance, it seemed like he fought recklessly without considering consequences, but the conclusion they reached was that all of it was actually thoroughly calculated behavior. So they couldn't move rashly even while watching Dam Ho approach.

At that moment, Ji Cheon-hwi issued an order.

"What are you doing? Kill him!"

His voice filled with internal energy awakened the scholars' spirits that had been overwhelmed by Dam Ho.

"Waaa!"

"He's human too. We can kill him with combined attacks."

The scholars rushed at Dam Ho all at once.

In their hands were already bizarre weapons like judge's brushes and emei piercers.

Judge's brushes and emei piercers were all small in size and made to easily pierce vital points. They had optimal forms for those disguised as scholars to use.

Swish swish swish!

The air split and judge's brushes and emei piercers flew aiming for Dam Ho's vital points.

At that moment, Dam Ho's leg drove powerfully down toward the earth. He deployed Great Earthquake Step.

Kwaang!

With a roar, the earth shook as if an earthquake had occurred. The scholars' bodies standing on the earth also shook.

"Kuurk!"

"What, what is it?"

As they panicked, a stream of explosive energy whirled from Dam Ho's body.

Violent Demon Energy, the solitary path lineage's only energy projection technique, was deployed.

Kuukwakwa!

Wrapping explosive energy around his entire body, Dam Ho threw his whole body toward the scholars.

"Kwaaa!"

"Aak! Save me!"

Scholars swept up in the explosive energy were flung in all directions with desperate screams. Severed arms and legs flew here and there, and bodies that lost their heads rolled on the ground like garbage.

It was as if a massive storm had struck.

Everything caught in Dam Ho's trajectory was destroyed.

Judge's brushes, emei piercers, humans…

Ji Cheon-hwi's face, watching that scene, hardened like a rock.

He'd heard about Dam Ho's martial prowess, but the majesty he directly witnessed exceeded his imagination.

'This youngster really is amazing. Even ten years ago the Cult Leader wasn't at this level.'

Ji Cheon-hwi bit his lips tightly.

Ji Cheon-hwi had sympathized with the Cult Leader's dream and discarded his pride as one of the Five Great Heroes to become one of the Five Evils. Though he hid his identity and occasionally acted as a member of the Five Evils, his pride in his own martial arts reached the sky. But watching Dam Ho, he somehow felt shabby.

Even at that moment, the desperate screams of disciples he'd devoted his heart to raising were echoing. Decades of accumulated effort were being reduced to nothing by Dam Ho alone.

Though there wasn't much affection between master and disciple, watching disciples he'd raised with his own hands die to Dam Ho made Ji Cheon-hwi surge with emotion.

"Bastard!"

Eventually he couldn't suppress his rage and rushed at Dam Ho.

Kwaaaa!

When he spread both hands wide, palm force filled with intense heat was released. The heat was so intense that even the air blazed.

"Kraak!"

The flesh of scholars near the palm force's path melted.

Hell Flame Fire Palm.

It was a legendary palm technique said to melt even ten-thousand-pound boulders in one strike when mastered. Until now, not a single person who'd been hit by Ji Cheon-hwi's Hell Flame Fire Palm had survived.

Ji Cheon-hwi was confident this time would be the same.

Over the past decades, his martial arts had developed dramatically through enlightenment. Breaking through countless walls blocking his path, he'd made Hell Flame Fire Palm's power several times stronger than originally. Because of that, Ji Cheon-hwi was confident even if the Cult Leader from ten years ago came, he couldn't block it easily.

Three or four scholars between Dam Ho and Ji Cheon-hwi melted instantly. And Hell Flame Fire Palm reached right to Dam Ho's nose.

He could feel tremendous heat that seemed like it would melt his lungs just from breathing. But Dam Ho didn't even blink an eye and instead threw his body toward Hell Flame Fire Palm.

Wooooong!

His body was trembling finely. The solitary path lineage's unique protective energy technique, Shield, was deployed.

Shield and Hell Flame Fire Palm clashed.

Tsssss!

Instantly a sound like tens of thousands of bees flapping their wings in unison rang out. Hell Flame Fire Palm tried to devour Dam Ho, and Shield tried to crush such Hell Flame Fire Palm.

Shield offset the heat to some degree, but couldn't completely block it.

The ends of Dam Ho's hair melted in hell's heat. His eyebrows flew off, and his clothes caught fire. Still, Dam Ho advanced without stopping.

Like a salmon swimming upstream, just like that.

"I'll melt you down to your bones."

Instantly Ji Cheon-hwi concentrated his power even more. Then the heat intensified and the earth melted drip by drip like candle wax. True to its name, hell's flames arose.

In an instant, flames swallowed Dam Ho's body.

"It's over."

"The Academy Master caught Fist Demon."

Myeongil Academy's scholars burst into cheers.

The fact that Ji Cheon-hwi had subdued Fist Demon, notorious throughout the world, delighted them.

What Myeongil Academy emphasized most was maintaining composure. That was the only way to achieve excellent results whether in martial or scholarly arts, according to Ji Cheon-hwi's philosophy. Because of that, they usually controlled their emotions well. But at this moment, such great turmoil raged in their hearts that they couldn't maintain composure.

The pressure that the existence called Dam Ho gave was that tremendous. While everyone was cheering like that, only one person's face was hardened like a rock.

Ji Cheon-hwi.

Ji Cheon-hwi, the one deploying Hell Flame Fire Palm, could tell by feeling. That hell's heat and flames he was emitting hadn't completely burned Dam Ho yet.

His enemy was still fine.

Instinct was whispering so.

That's when it happened.

Puhwakak!

Suddenly the flames swayed violently then split to both sides.

'He's coming.'

Ji Cheon-hwi prepared to retreat.

Finally Dam Ho revealed himself piercing through the fierce flames.

Half his hair was singed and curled from the flames, and most of his clothes had burned away. But not a trace of burns could be found on his body. Shield had protected his body even in the tremendous heat.

Ji Cheon-hwi launched Hell Flame Fire Palm once more without a moment's hesitation. At that moment, Dam Ho deployed Great Earthquake Step.

Kwaang!

With a roar, the huge rock beneath his feet rose like a fortress wall. Right after, tremendous flames covered where Dam Ho had been.

The flames were blocked by the rock and scattered in all directions.

"This can't be!"

Ji Cheon-hwi involuntarily let out a surprised exclamation.

At that moment, a black shadow fell from the sky. Dam Ho had launched his form into the air. Like a hawk snatching prey, Dam Ho descended vertically. Right toward Ji Cheon-hwi.

"Kuurk!"

Ji Cheon-hwi didn't dare attempt a counterattack and hurriedly dodged backward. And that became the decisive mistake.

From the air, Dam Ho's right leg drove down like a battering ram. Ji Cheon-hwi hurriedly drew up protective energy to block Dam Ho's Charging Step.

Kwang!

"Kuurk!"

Fortunately he blocked the attack, but couldn't completely dissipate the shock so his body shook. Dam Ho tenaciously exploited that gap.

Single Yang Strike hammered the protective energy creating cracks, and Single Piercing Wall pierced through them.

Zzzzeng!

"Khup!"

A shockwave generated by shocking the air's grain gave Ji Cheon-hwi's eardrums a blow. When eardrums receive shock, balance sense is paralyzed.

It was the same for Ji Cheon-hwi. Though his martial arts had reached the absolute realm, he too was human.

His body momentarily staggered and his protective energy wavered. And hell's consecutive attacks began.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Dam Ho's twenty-four consecutive strikes raging like a storm.

Six Harmonies Blood Mountain River.

The solitary path lineage's final chapter was deployed toward Ji Cheon-hwi.

Ji Cheon-hwi's protective energy shattered like glass after just four of Dam Ho's punches. The protective energy that had firmly protected his entire body shattered and his defenseless flesh was exposed.

Over such Ji Cheon-hwi's flesh, the remaining eighteen consecutive strikes mercilessly poured down. He could block a few times using arms and legs. But the layered shocks broke his arms and shattered his shinbones like reeds.

"Kek!"

Ji Cheon-hwi couldn't endure anymore and burst into a scream. At that moment, the power he'd barely maintained scattered like fog.

Kwajik!

His collarbone shattered completely and his internal organs ruptured. Blood shot up like a fountain and his limbs bent grotesquely.

"Kuweaek!"

Ji Cheon-hwi lay on the ground repeatedly vomiting blood. His face was already black with death.

"Academy Master!"

"Everyone save the Academy Master."

Scholars who until now hadn't dared interfere in the fight rushed to save Ji Cheon-hwi.

They seemed mad with fear. But not a single one fled and they all attacked Dam Ho. They were like moths jumping into flames.

'Ah, no!'

Sprawled on the ground, Ji Cheon-hwi screamed seeing that. But his voice only echoed inside his mouth.

Bang! Bang!

At the explosions bursting forth repeatedly, Ji Cheon-hwi's body jerked. Someone's blood splattered over his face. He could tell without even looking. That it was the blood of the scholars he'd taught.

Everything Ji Cheon-hwi had accomplished over decades was collapsing.

By Dam Ho alone.

"Kwaaa!"

After someone's desperate scream, no more sounds could be heard. The scholars he'd brought had all been annihilated.

Shhhhh!

Instead, the sound of someone dragging their feet was heard.

He could tell without checking with his eyes.

'Dam Ho. This demon-like bastard!'

Thick tears rolled down Ji Cheon-hwi's cheeks. Tears he hadn't shed even when his parents died were flowing down.

The sound of footsteps was no longer heard. Instead, Dam Ho's rough breathing was heard.

Ji Cheon-hwi barely lifted his head to confirm Dam Ho's appearance.

Dam Ho's condition was too miserable. Though he'd only avoided burns, countless wounds papered his entire body. Fighting the scholars after being hit by Hell Flame Fire Palm, he'd received quite a few wounds. But even with all those wounds, his eyes still gleamed sharply.

Ji Cheon-hwi shuddered seeing those eyes. Because the demon that destroyed his everything was still hungry for blood.

"Khruh!"

A bizarre breathing sound leaked through his lips. It sounded like laughing and also like crying. Then Dam Ho knelt on one knee to lower his posture and met his gaze. And opened his mouth.

"Where is Ho Cheon-myeong?"

"Khruhuh! Who knows…"

Instantly Dam Ho's eyes narrowed. Because he realized Ji Cheon-hwi had no intention of talking.

Suddenly Ji Cheon-hwi vomited blood. Mixed in the blood soaking his mouth and chest were fragments of shattered internal organs. A wound even the Great Divine Physician couldn't heal.

"Huhu! How regrettable. That I cannot go there. I've raced my entire life for that one thing. Because of you, my lifelong aspiration crumbles. You demon-like bastard! You are a demon that should not exist in this world. Perhaps that place suits you more."

"Where is that place?"

"Huhu! Why ask me? There's someone around you who knows that place. One who survived the gap…"

"Are you talking about Gi San-wol?"

"That's right! That soul magician. Khruhuh! Kulleok!"

Ji Cheon-hwi vomited blood once more.

His eyes gradually dimmed.

"But it's already too late. The Cult Leader already took him."

Instantly Dam Ho's eyes narrowed. Mistakenly thinking he was devastated, Ji Cheon-hwi gathered his last strength to mock Dam Ho.

"Krahaha! It's too late even to regret. You should never have left him alone."

"I left him alone on purpose."

"What?"

At Dam Ho's unexpected answer, Ji Cheon-hwi widened his eyes. Dam Ho's last words seeped into his dimming mind.

"Because that's how I can find Ho Cheon-myeong."

That was the last thing Ji Cheon-hwi heard while alive.

***

Gi San-wol was walking alone on the main street. After the great battle between Blue Sky Alliance and the Demon Cult broke out, public sentiment became unsettled and people refrained from going out. Thanks to that, even though it was broad daylight, hardly any people could be seen on the streets. Despite him being in Nanyang, a fairly large county.

The battle between Blue Sky Alliance and the Demon Cult was increasingly intensifying. After the first clash, the Demon Cult gathered even more strength and fiercely pressed Blue Sky Alliance. They deployed truly overwhelming quantity tactics.

Even the previous Murim Alliance and Shaolin Temple collapsed unable to withstand the Demon Cult's quantity tactics. So people thought Blue Sky Alliance would collapse quickly. But as if mocking people's expectations, Blue Sky Alliance steadfastly endured within the Demon Cult's offensive.

Heroes were emerging daily at Blue Sky Alliance.

On the first day, martial artists with known names like Cho Yeon-woon, Hae So-wol, and So Cheon displayed their majesty, while in the second fierce battle, people like the Seventeen-Member Suicide Squad stood out.

In the third fierce battle, a young martial artist from an unknown sect popped out like a sharp awl, and in the fourth fierce battle, yet another hero displayed his martial prowess.

Different heroes appeared in each of the five fierce battles so far. That was something even Sang Han-cheon, the Demon Cult's military strategist, hadn't anticipated.

He'd chosen frontal confrontation to flaunt the Demon Cult's majesty to all under Heaven, but ultimately it became a failed operation. Because of that, critical public opinion toward Sang Han-cheon was even forming within the Demon Cult.

Eventually Sang Han-cheon changed his thinking and began employing military tactics. Because of that, the tense battle situation began flowing in the Demon Cult's favor again. But people believed. That as before, some unknown hero would appear this time too and reverse the unfavorable battle situation again.

Troubled times always summon heroes, and as if answering that call, heroes were rising throughout the world.

"Has the era of heroes arrived?"

Gi San-wol, who'd been muttering in a low voice, suddenly raised his head to look ahead. Because he sensed presences here and there on the quiet street.

Unfamiliar people suddenly revealed themselves throughout the street.

Instantly a faint smile appeared on Gi San-wol's lips.

'They've appeared.'

He could tell. That they were similar types to himself.

At first glance they looked like ordinary people, but demonic energy like his own flowed from their entire bodies.

At their center was someone emanating particularly intense demonic energy.

'Ghost Envoy.'

The person he'd been searching for so long had appeared on his own.

Ghost Envoy spoke.

"The Cult Leader summons you. You must come with me."

Hudududuk!

It was a scene where perfectly fine people instantly turned into bloody pus-filled lumps scattered in all directions. The ground was soaked with blood, chunks of flesh flew everywhere, and shattered weapons lay strewn about randomly.

If it had only been ordinary martial artists at the commonly described third-rate level, they wouldn’t have been so shocked.

But among them were those with considerable skill, and even those who could be called experts. Even masters of prestigious orthodox sects melted into bloody pus and died immediately upon being grazed by Asura World Annihilation Soul’s Asura Scripture. The experts who came from the Baek Li Family were no exception.

Only a small number with strong mental fortitude who immediately cut off their own limbs grazed by Asura Scripture survived.

Splish.

Jin Ja-gang stepped on the blood scattered by dozens of people as he approached the Righteous Alliance martial artists.

He raised his hand to throw Asura Scripture at the martial artists who weren’t retreating.

Asura Scripture fluttered up into the air.

Flinch! The Righteous Alliance martial artists’ expressions hardened.

They thought it wasn’t a matter of landing one strike on Jin Ja-gang or not. They couldn’t even properly approach Jin Ja-gang. Instead, only they died one after another like bamboo shoots after rain.

Jin Ja-gang didn’t extend Asura Scripture right away.

The lengths of Asura Scripture varied. They had scraped against bones and weapons so much that they were broken and rough. Too much human blood and fat had clumped on them, making them dull. If they collided with even sword energy once, they would break off.

Jin Ja-gang walked toward the martial artists with Asura Scripture floating.

The martial artists hesitated and retreated little by little. Someone, an expert, had to block at least once for them to rush together and land a strike or do anything.

But there was someone who slipped and fell while retreating in front.

“Heook!”

A shallow-faced man whose affiliation was unknown dropped even his blade and fell on his bottom. The man saw Jin Ja-gang who had approached right in front and immediately prostrated himself, bowing his head.

“Please spare me! Please spare me, Hero!”

Jin Ja-gang looked down at the man briefly then just passed by.

The man was trembling, but when Jin Ja-gang passed, he raised his head. Jin Ja-gang’s back, entirely stained with blood, entered his view.

The man was conflicted. The sight of Jin Ja-gang limping and staggering weakly made the temptation even more intense. He looked like someone who would collapse from pain to anyone.

Gulp.

The man swallowed dry saliva then gritted his teeth. He slowly grabbed the handle of the dropped blade and stood up without making a sound. Jin Ja-gang’s back was completely defenseless.

The man silently raised his blade behind Jin Ja-gang’s back.

Just like this, if he just brings it down! Not one hundred taels, but if luck is good, one thousand gold taels…! If he doesn’t give money to his affiliated sect and takes it all himself, a whole two thousand taels!

The man’s eyes widened greatly, filled with greed.

However, because the man had dropped his blade on the ground and picked it up, a drop of blood stuck on the blade’s handle slipped and fell.

The man’s eyes went toward the falling blood drop.

The blood drop fell on the ground and caused a small ripple.

Drip…

“…!”

The man’s pupils convulsed.

The man raised his pupils to look at Jin Ja-gang.

Jin Ja-gang had turned his head at some point and was staring at the man. The man whose eyes met Jin Ja-gang’s had all his body hair stand on end. Instantly sweat formed on his face and his body froze.

Jin Ja-gang raised his arm and made a motion of pulling something.

“Keuk?”

The man only then realized that an invisible thread was wrapped around his neck. It wasn’t set just now. It was a thread already set when he passed by him.

“He, Hero…!”

The man shouted urgently, but Jin Ja-gang had already clenched his fist.

Crackle!

Because Asura Scripture was dull, the man’s neck was roughly torn and rolled off.

Jin Ja-gang removed and threw away Asura Scripture’s loop. Then instead picked up two blades that had fallen on the ground.

He rubbed and wiped the blood on the handles and gripped them in his hands.

Jin Ja-gang’s gaze passed the Righteous Alliance martial artists blocking in front and headed toward Baek Li-jung standing behind them.

Jin Ja-gang raised his blade and pointed at Baek Li-jung. Then pointed across at the blocking martial artists.

“You won’t get the money.”

It was something he said before.

That if he killed Baek Li-jung, they wouldn’t get money.

But the tone was slightly different from before, giving a bewildering feeling.

The Righteous Alliance martial artists saw that Jin Ja-gang’s blade tip was pointed at them and only then realized.

Not getting money wasn’t only when Baek Li-jung died.

They also wouldn’t receive money when they themselves died!

Jin Ja-gang’s tremendous spirit of killing all hundreds.

The Righteous Alliance martial artists felt their knees weaken.

Seeing him meticulously kill even that one person just now, they lost confidence in whether they could really survive from here.

The atmosphere became chilly.

From just one person’s spirit, hundreds were dispirited.

“You bastard!”

An elderly expert from Kongtong Sect who couldn’t stand it stepped forward, white hair flying.

“You dare take the martial world lightly! Just because you obtained powerful martial arts at a young age, do you see nothing!”

Jin Ja-gang looked at the elderly expert coldly.

“Who are you?”

Urk!

The elderly expert’s face twisted.

Jin Ja-gang’s one comment just now crushed the elderly expert’s pride. Wasn’t the tone saying he had no presence, or why interfere when he wasn’t at a level to be compared to him!

“This old one is from Kongtong Sect…!”

“Enough.”

Jin Ja-gang gestured his blade tip toward the elderly expert.

“Seeing you there, I roughly know what kind of person you are. Come at me.”

The elderly expert’s face reddened. To fall for that provocation felt bad as if listening to Jin Ja-gang’s words, but to ignore the provocation, wouldn’t it look like he was staying still because he feared Jin Ja-gang!

His mood went up and down from just a few words and his emotions were hurt.

The elderly expert charged angrily holding his saber and shouted.

“Even if this old one is just a commoner of the martial world, I cannot endure such insult! You bastard!”

Saber energy surrounded the elderly expert’s saber and bright rays extended powerfully. A trajectory of a saber swung thousands, tens of thousands of times. The saber energy sliced Jin Ja-gang vertically.

Jin Ja-gang raised his blade and forcefully drew down in exactly the same trajectory. It was the Great Shout of Tiger Energy of Bosam Sect saber technique used after a long time. Cracks formed in the common blade that couldn’t handle Jin Ja-gang’s internal energy. Though there was no saber energy, it was much heavier than the elderly expert’s saber which contained saber energy.

Kwachang!

The elderly expert’s saber energy that collided in a straight trajectory shattered and the saber broke off as is. Since Jin Ja-gang’s saber already had cracks, it exploded and burst as if self-destructing.

Pypypypyok!

“Kreok!”

The shattered saber fragments embedded all over the elderly expert’s body. They weren’t fatal wounds enough to kill. However, the shock received from being pushed back in internal energy made the elderly expert unable to move.

Jin Ja-gang raised the blade that had half broken off and flew away, stabbing it into the elderly expert’s heart. The elderly expert knelt, spurting blood. Jin Ja-gang struck the elderly expert’s neck with the opposite blade.

The Righteous Alliance martial artists got goosebumps. Jin Ja-gang’s attitude of definitely striking the neck even though the heart had already ruptured and would die anyway. That made it so there was no one who thought they might be able to survive from Jin Ja-gang even a little.

Jin Ja-gang picked up another weapon lying around again. Then pointed at one person among the Righteous Alliance martial artists.

“That person over there seems to have had something they wanted to say to me as well.”

The martial artist turned pale and shook his head without realizing.

“No! No! I never…”

The martial artist couldn’t finish speaking and his neck flew off.

What struck that martial artist’s neck wasn’t Jin Ja-gang but another person who was behind him.

“Such a cowardly person deserves to die! What on earth are you all doing! With hundreds of adults facing one youngster. How can the Righteous Alliance establish the foundation of protecting the orthodox path in the martial world like this!”

A middle-aged expert who looked higher in martial status than the earlier elderly expert.

However, Jin Ja-gang didn’t even ask who he was this time.

“…”

He just stared blankly at the middle-aged expert.

“…”

“…”

The Righteous Alliance martial artists felt a strange feeling.

Especially the middle-aged expert was more flustered.

He asked who he was just now, but why isn’t he asking this time?

Jin Ja-gang had to ask who he was for this side to speak again, and only then would conversation flow back and forth, wouldn’t it? Not asking anything itself made the middle-aged expert very embarrassed.

He even just struck his own ally’s neck!

Because Jin Ja-gang stayed still, the Righteous Alliance martial artists’ eyes who were curious about what he would say and what action he would take began to change.

Come to think of it, who is that person to strike an ally’s neck carelessly?

The middle-aged expert swallowed dry saliva. Somehow it seemed he was the one cornered. The middle-aged expert tried to speak first in confusion.

However, he remembered that Jin Ja-gang had blocked the elderly expert’s answer earlier.

If he said “Enough” this time too, he would become an idiot who tried to make excuses but couldn’t even do that.

“Urrgh…”

The middle-aged expert felt like he had fallen into a trap.

‘What is this!’

Cold sweat came out.

He felt he understood belatedly. Jin Ja-gang had completely seized control of the atmosphere here. That’s why he could manipulate hundreds with simple silence alone.

What on earth was he trying to step forward and do before Poison Dragon with such meticulous scheming?

Fortunately, what saved him was Baek Li-jung.

“Brothers!”

Knowing the atmosphere would crumble like a ragtag group if it deteriorated further, Baek Li-jung changed the topic with a heavy tone.

“Today in this place… we all may bury our bones to this one evil person. However! We must show that the justice of the martial world has not disappeared. That is the duty of us orthodox path people living now.”

Baek Li Family experts shouted.

“Right!”

“It’s what we must do!”

Baek Li-jung’s one comment at least revived the dying embers again. The Righteous Alliance martial artists bit their lower lips and burned their fighting spirit against Jin Ja-gang.

However, Jin Ja-gang mocked those words.

“This time you’re appealing to non-existent justice? Won’t money work?”

The Righteous Alliance martial artists shouted.

“Money isn’t the priority! A killing maniac like you must die for the martial world!”

“Even if we all die, we still have our brothers!”

“Our disciples, our seniors! As long as the seed of the orthodox path doesn’t dry up, they will continue to follow us and strike you!”

Twitch.

Jin Ja-gang’s eyebrows moved.

Those words just now touched Jin Ja-gang’s reverse scale.

Jin Ja-gang asked quietly.

“If I kill you… your masters and brothers, disciples will step forward… is that it?”

“That’s right!”

“Until you die! Until you and the entire Tang Clan are erased, we won’t stop!”

Jin Ja-gang’s eyes opened wide. The blood drops flowing from wounds all over his body climbed back up his body in reverse. His hair stood up.

Killing intent flew in all directions like needles.

“Ah!”

The Righteous Alliance martial artists nearby raised their arms in surprise.

Prick!

Red dots formed on the exposed arms and legs of the Righteous Alliance martial artists. Thread-like blood flowed immediately.

“What, what is it!”

When they rubbed wondering if they were hit by hidden weapons, only blood smeared and there was nothing.

But the Righteous Alliance martial artists couldn’t endure as it felt like thousands, tens of thousands of needles were flying. They continuously stepped back.

It was killing intent.

Jin Ja-gang’s killing intent.

Jin Ja-gang’s killing intent reached the extreme. Finally, killing intent leaped over all that and materialized, inflicting substantial damage!

The Righteous Alliance martial artists were shocked. They had heard that killing intent could injure the body but had never seen it.

Jin Ja-gang said.

“Someone said… that the system must be reformed so innocent people don’t suffer damage… and only gather and kill the contaminated ones… But you know.”

Jin Ja-gang paused briefly then continued.

“I don’t care.”

Jin Ja-gang said with chilling eyes, baring his teeth.

“I’ll kill them all. I’ll kill you, and when your masters and brothers come, I’ll kill them too. Until everyone who will succeed you in the martial world disappears.”
