Chapter 479

Pok! Pook, pok!

The palm shadows themselves weren’t powerful. However, each time they struck, the internal energy in the struck area scattered.

A trained expert’s hands are no different from stone blocks. Even without internal energy, if an ordinary person gets hit, bones break and flesh bursts.

It was a situation where the Thousand Year Turtle Shell that shattered while fighting Yelu Huan before was sorely missed. Bruises formed on Jin Ja-gang’s body in an instant. Internal energy scattered and no counter-force arose.

His clothes tore into rags, and as flesh was pushed, skin also tore and blood seeped out.

Jin Ja-gang’s entire body was instantly dyed with blood.

Zhuge Mun pressed down on Jin Ja-gang’s head while kicking his temple with a foot slap.

Pok! Jin Ja-gang’s head turned.

Jin Ja-gang staggered but prepared a counterattack. Zhuge Mun noticed the sign and struck Jin Ja-gang’s shoulders again with palms. Strength completely left both shoulders. Jin Ja-gang knelt both knees under the oppression of palm shadows.

Pop pop pok, pok pok!

Jin Ja-gang became completely covered by palm shadows and couldn’t move an inch.

Jin Ja-gang bared his teeth and emitted killing intent. Gripping the bent palm needle, he fell forward and stabbed Zhuge Mun’s foot instep.

Zhuge Mun rose into the air avoiding the needle and added dozens more palm shadows even stronger.

Pang! Pop pop pang!

Jin Ja-gang raised both arms to block the palm shadows while lifting his head to look at Zhuge Mun.

Through the palm shadows, Zhuge Mun and Jin Ja-gang’s eyes met.

Eyes burning like a beast.

Chilling!

Zhuge Mun sensed danger instinctively. His body reacted before his mind recognized danger.

Zhuge Mun struck Jin Ja-gang’s head once with the hard part below his palm, then hurriedly retreated backward.

Pak! Jin Ja-gang’s head was struck by the palm and broke, blood flowing.

Jin Ja-gang paid no attention and clasped both hands together, exerting all his strength.

Jade Void Nine Lights Five Thunder Toad Art Eight Light Dikes.

Curse of the Bowing Demon Spirit!

Kraaaaaah!

The Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit writhed inside Jin Ja-gang.

Internal energy circulated through his entire body fast enough to be called rampaging.

Blazing, Jin Ja-gang’s both hands heated to bright red. Blood arising from inside Jin Ja-gang’s body spurted through torn areas.

The flowing Asura Blood vaporized and raised toxic fog.

Whooosh!

Jin Ja-gang slowly rose his body.

Whook, whook.

Each time Jin Ja-gang breathed, the mass of crimson toxic fog circled around Jin Ja-gang as if alive.

Zhuge Mun’s eyes frowned.

“This…”

He could recognize the danger of the toxic fog at a glance.

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan also felt the threat.

“Heo, blood poison and toxic fog.”

“This is a monster.”

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan adjusted their internal energy to minimum to reduce the amount of internal energy escaping as strong energy.

Left Mottle Sword asked Zhuge Mun.

“Our internal energy is gradually depleting. One of yours is already dead. What will you do?”

Zhuge Mun glared at Jin Ja-gang.

Jin Ja-gang was loosening his neck by moving his head left and right.

Crack crack.

Zhuge Mun extended his hand to point behind Jin Ja-gang.

Zhuge Mun spoke to the hundreds of Righteous Alliance martial artists waiting behind, stopped.

“You chase those who fled.”

Anyway, Yuelu Mountain was surrounded. Those who fled ahead would also have to break through the encirclement. Striking from behind meanwhile could cause greater damage.

However, the Righteous Alliance martial artists couldn’t rashly step forward. Their eyes turned toward the line drawn before their feet. Didn’t Jin Ja-gang say crossing the line means death?

Moreover, Righteous Alliance Leader Baek Li-jung who should actually give orders was preoccupied fighting Namgung Rak.

Zhuge Mun sternly commanded the martial artists from the Zhuge Family.

“You lead the way first! Chase and kill those who fled!”

The Zhuge Family martial artists crossed the death line with hardened faces.

Jin Ja-gang extended his hand.

The poison palm Jin Ja-gang emitted flew toward the Zhuge Family martial artist who crossed first. The Zhuge Family martial artist swung his sword to deflect the poison palm, but the poison palm grazed past the sword like water and struck the martial artist.

Pang!

The poison palm burst and a blood mist rose. The martial artist suffered and screamed in the blood mist.

Zhuge Mun shouted in fury.

“What are you doing! All advance!”

The Zhuge Family martial artists shouted battle cries and crossed the death line all at once. Other Righteous Alliance martial artists also ran together.

Jin Ja-gang continuously shot poison palms. Even when poison palms missed, they didn’t disappear but circled in place spewing toxic energy.

The poison was so severe that even without direct hits, there was damage if it touched mucous membranes like eyes or was inhaled.

“Uaaagh!”

Those who couldn’t endure while passing through the toxic fog rolled on the ground clutching their eyes and noses. Some fell into or slipped and crashed into pools of accumulated toxic water.

Jin Ja-gang continuously shot poison palms using Asura Blood. Blood mist bloomed here and there like heat haze.

He didn’t let them continue suffering. Zhuge Mun charged at Jin Ja-gang with the spear wielder. Having the Righteous Alliance martial artists cross the death line was to interfere so Jin Ja-gang couldn’t concentrate in the first place.

Jin Ja-gang launched poison palms at Zhuge Mun and the spear wielder.

Zhuge Mun scattered dozens of palm shadows to the front.

Wind Dispersing Hand!

The palm shadows of Wind Dispersing Hand didn’t contain powerful internal energy but had the nature of pushing away like wind. The poison contained in Jin Ja-gang’s poison palm was gently pushed back like ebbing tide.

When the poison blocking the front disappeared, the spear wielder rushed in and rapidly stabbed with his spear. Meanwhile, Righteous Alliance martial artists were wildly running past Jin Ja-gang’s left and right.

Jin Ja-gang twisted his waist very slightly to deflect the spear and extended both arms left and right to attack the Righteous Alliance martial artists. Poison palms extended to both sides spreading toxic fog.

“Uaaah!”

Righteous Alliance martial artists were struck by poison palms and rolled in the toxic fog.

Zhuge Mun leaped from behind the spear wielder and poured palm shadows. The palm shadows contained different energy than before.

Heaven Earth Pressure Kill!

The Twin Swords of Zhongnan rushed from diagonal left and right. As they were Left Hand Sword and Right Hand Sword respectively, it was a favorable situation for bilateral attack. Zhuge Mun’s Heaven Earth Pressure Kill pressed down countless times on Jin Ja-gang’s crown, Left Mottle Sword cut Jin Ja-gang’s legs. Right Frost Sword cut Jin Ja-gang’s shoulder. The spear wielder retrieved his spear then belatedly stabbed Jin Ja-gang’s neck.

Pok!

Zhuge Mun’s palm shadow dug into bare ground.

“Hmm?”

Left Mottle Sword and Right Frost Sword’s swords almost collided with each other. The spear wielder’s spear stabbed empty air too late. It only pierced through the afterimage Jin Ja-gang left.

Reverse Afterimage Soul Body Technique! Jin Ja-gang’s afterimage continued in a line and appeared above the head of Zhuge Mun who leaped into the air. Jin Ja-gang’s afterimage was pressing on Zhuge Mun’s head.

Zhuge Mun was greatly alarmed and hurriedly withdrew Heaven Earth Pressure Kill and scattered palm shadows upward.

The spear wielder also turned his body to lie down and struck the spear shaft upward to help Zhuge Mun.

Left Mottle Sword looked at Zhuge Mun and shouted.

“Behind!”

Zhuge Mun’s spine chilled and got goosebumps. Even before Left Mottle Sword shouted, he already felt hot breath on his nape.

“This bastard!”

Having already raised both hands to the sky and appearing from behind, couldn’t he do nothing!

Even now striking backward with his elbow was late. Fingers touched his side. It was a motion as if lightly touching like a butterfly landing.

Zhuge Mun poured all his internal energy into protective strong energy to move it to his side and twisted his body.

One Inch Punch!

Jin Ja-gang’s internal energy rushed in like a tidal wave through one point of his finger.

Kwang!

An explosion occurred inside Zhuge Mun as if a thunder bomb burst. Ribs broke, organs shifted, and his side deeply caved in.

Zhuge Mun spurted blood and bounced away. Seeing one eye fill with blood in an instant, he undoubtedly suffered severe internal injury. However, thanks to blocking internally with all his might, he prevented instant death.

The spear wielder hooked Jin Ja-gang’s leg floating in midair with the spear shaft. Jin Ja-gang clamped the spear shaft between his legs and twisted to break it.

Crack! He rotated the broken spear shaft with his toes to put the spear blade down and kicked to press it. The spear lodged in the spear wielder’s collarbone pierced through to the waist.

Left Mottle Sword and Right Frost Sword attacked Jin Ja-gang. Jin Ja-gang stepped on the spear wielder’s head and leaped up. The spear wielder died with a broken neck. The Twin Swords of Zhongnan were amazed at Jin Ja-gang’s thoroughness in confirming death to the end. Moreover, the direction he leaped was toward Zhuge Mun.

“Where are you running!”

Zhuge Mun gripped his deeply caved side and rose. He scattered palm shadows with one hand to deploy defensive techniques.

Far fewer palm shadows than before blocked Jin Ja-gang.

However, Jin Ja-gang didn’t deal with Zhuge Mun’s palm shadows and lightly jumped over. He passed over Zhuge Mun and attacked the Righteous Alliance martial artists passing by. He threw poison needles and shot poison palms.

“Uaaagh!”

Righteous Alliance martial artists rolled around.

Zhuge Mun felt deflated when Jin Ja-gang passed by without dealing with him. Internal injury deepened while using techniques because he forcibly drew up internal energy. Blood water continuously flowed from nose and mouth in gushes. At that moment, Jin Ja-gang turned around and leaped.

Zhuge Mun had to draw up internal energy again without even time to steady his breathing. Internal energy barely continued as if about to break. Therefore, the palm shadow he extended had no power. Jin Ja-gang received Zhuge Mun’s palm shadow with his body and pushed in. Zhuge Mun gritted his teeth and launched palms.

Pop pop pang! Pang!

Each time Jin Ja-gang trembled while being struck, blood seeped. Asura Blood became toxic fog and spread. Each time he struck Jin Ja-gang, toxic fog formed and splattered toward Zhuge Mun.

Poison splattered on Zhuge Mun’s face and nose, toxic energy wavering. Zhuge Mun realized he would die first at this rate. Taking his hand off his side, he shouted and extended twin palms with the thought of ending it in one strike.

Heaven Earth Pressure Kill! Zhuge Mun’s twin palms struck Jin Ja-gang’s chest.

At the same time, Jin Ja-gang struck left and right of Zhuge Mun’s head with both arms as if clapping.

Dragon Capturing Strike.

Pook, Jin Ja-gang’s ten fingers embedded in Zhuge Mun’s head.

Zhuge Mun trembled intensely.

Toxic energy from fingertips flowed into Zhuge Mun’s head.

Zhuge Mun looked up at Jin Ja-gang with greatly widened eyes while his head was pierced.

“You… bastard…”

How could he be this strong?

Zhuge Mun’s expression showed disbelief.

He was stronger than expected.

The twin palms just now clearly landed. Jin Ja-gang’s chest clothing tore away and pitch-black handprints remained. He would have suffered internal injury too.

However, Jin Ja-gang chose to exchange a minor internal injury for Zhuge Mun’s life. Before Zhuge Mun could steady his breathing and recover.

It was truly tremendous decisiveness. That multiplied Jin Ja-gang’s martial arts skill by another layer.

That’s how he could kill Northern Heaven’s Ga Mu-rue and Demon Lord Yelu Huan.

Even the plan to let Righteous Alliance martial artists pass through to strike the rear of those who fled and scatter Jin Ja-gang’s concentration failed. Not a single person had passed behind Jin Ja-gang yet.

Zhuge Mun’s face turned sickly yellow. Bloody pus began flowing from the seven orifices of eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

“You bastard! Release that hand!”

When the Twin Swords of Zhongnan rushed in, Jin Ja-gang shook Zhuge Mun’s head this way and that with fingers embedded. If the Twin Swords of Zhongnan swung swords, Zhuge Mun would be cut first.

“Urgh!”

“This cruel bastard!”

Since they couldn’t bear to cut Zhuge Mun, the Zhuge Family’s family head, the Twin Swords of Zhongnan couldn’t extend their swords.

One by one.

Extinction Flower was blooming from Zhuge Mun’s face and neck.

Zhuge Mun realized he couldn’t live anyway.

He shouted with a voice filled with pus.

“Cut… me!”
