Dam-ho didn’t look back.
It didn’t matter whether Mount Hua Sect disciples followed him or not. His gaze was fixed only on one person – Sang Han-cheon. But there were obstacles he had to overcome to reach Sang Han-cheon.
Hwang Yeol and Dan Ho-sang were the obstacles Dam-ho had to overcome. They were approaching with heavy steps.
Dam-ho also walked toward them.
Hiss!
Red steam rose around his body. The blood covering him was evaporating.
Seeing Dam-ho emanating red haze, Dan Ho-sang shook his head.
“Sigh! Mountain after mountain.”
His body condition after facing Cho Yeon-woon wasn’t normal. But he couldn’t leisurely sit and rest either.
The one before his eyes was the most dangerous person in the murim. Against such a person, he couldn’t complain about his body condition.
Dan Ho-sang gripped his spear tightly.
On the contrary, there was one burning with fighting spirit. He was Mad Demon Hall Master Hwang Yeol.
Befitting the leader of the battle-crazed Mad Demon Hall, he never dampened his fighting spirit in any situation.
Rather, he smiled looking at Dam-ho.
“Hehe! So this is Fist Demon. Not bad.”
Sweat gathered in his palms and chills ran up his spine. It had been a long time since he felt such a sense of crisis. That made it more enjoyable.
Pat!
At that moment, Dam-ho stamped the ground.
“Hup!”
Crack!
Hwang Yeol drew up his energy and blocked Dam-ho’s attack head-on. His already massive muscles swelled even larger.
Wild Beast Demon Technique.
It was the Demon Cult’s secret ultimate technique that made Hwang Yeol the Mad Demon Hall Master. It was a monstrous technique that could only be learned by those born with natural superhuman strength and tough body.
Dam-ho’s attack was blocked for the first time. Hwang Yeol grabbed Dam-ho’s fist that he had blocked with his palm.
“Got you.”
Hwang Yeol smiled showing his yellow teeth.
Not missing this opening, Dan Ho-sang threw his spear.
Swoosh!
At the moment the hair-raising sound of splitting air rang out, people saw an illusion of Dam-ho being pierced by Dan Ho-sang’s spear.
At that moment, Dam-ho’s body spun sharply. Simultaneously, Hwang Yeol’s massive body that had been gripping Dam-ho’s arm flew into the air like a lie then fell straight to the ground.
The Earth-Shattering Strike had been unleashed.
Clang!
Dan Ho-sang’s spear struck Hwang Yeol’s back. Fortunately, Hwang Yeol’s beast-transformed body was harder than steel and could deflect Dan Ho-sang’s spear. But the impact that followed was incomparably more tremendous than Dan Ho-sang’s spear strike.
Bang!
As Hwang Yeol’s massive body directly struck the ground, an explosion like a thunderbolt rang across Mount Hua.
“Kuh!”
Hwang Yeol shook his head.
Despite taking such a tremendous impact, Hwang Yeol hadn’t suffered much internal injury or wounds. When beast-transformed, his body was invincible.
“You!”
Hwang Yeol roared as he got up.
Crack!
At that moment, Dam-ho’s knee struck his chin. Hwang Yeol’s head snapped back like a spring.
Though his body was unwounded, his brain was shaken and his mind went blank momentarily. Dam-ho’s elbow struck Hwang Yeol’s temple again in that state.
Bang!
“Kuh!”
Hwang Yeol staggered backward. Objects appeared overlapped two or three times and ringing in his ears dug in, preventing him from regaining his senses.
“Stop!”
Dan Ho-sang threw his spear at Dam-ho seeing Hwang Yeol’s crisis. But Dam-ho wasn’t there. He had already moved behind Hwang Yeol.
Bang!
A Single Yang Strike struck the back of Hwang Yeol’s head.
“You cunning one!”
Dan Ho-sang trembled.
Dam-ho was using the disoriented Hwang Yeol as cover while attacking.
Dripping water eventually pierces rock. Dam-ho’s attacks were like that.
Though it seemed like random attacks at first glance, Dam-ho was persistently targeting only Hwang Yeol’s head.
Bang! Bang!
Hwang Yeol’s head bounced back and forth like an abacus bead.
Dan Ho-sang tried to save Hwang Yeol from Dam-ho’s hands. But he couldn’t do anything immediately about Dam-ho hiding behind Hwang Yeol’s massive body.
“Kuh!”
That’s when it happened. Hwang Yeol, who had been mindlessly taking hits from Dam-ho, regained his senses. In the moment of crisis, the Wild Beast Demon Technique awakened his confused brain.
Thinking he had been toyed with, Hwang Yeol exploded all his internal energy. He unleashed protective energy to shake off Dam-ho.
Boom!
The protective energy instantly expanded its domain and engulfed Dam-ho.
Logically, anyone with even a bit of sense would avoid the protective energy and retreat to wait for another chance. But Dam-ho wasn’t someone logic applied to.
Whoosh!
An energy current swirled around Dam-ho’s body. It was the Violent Demon Energy.
Chain explosions occurred as the violent energy and protective energy clashed.
Boom boom bang!
“Kuh!”
The continuous explosions were so intense that Dan Ho-sang, who had been waiting for an opening, had to retreat. The energy explosions blocked his view.
Crack!
An incongruous noise mixed in from within the massive explosion.
‘Impact sounds?’
Dan Ho-sang’s superhuman senses recognized it as the sound of something being beaten.
“Damn it!”
Belatedly realizing his mistake, Dan Ho-sang continuously thrust his spear into the explosion.
Soul-Chasing Spear Technique’s ultimate move Soul-Chasing Light Destruction was unleashed.
As if the spear had split into dozens, it stabbed numerous spaces simultaneously.
Though it seemed like he was ruthlessly thrusting his spear without distinguishing friend from foe at first glance, he was skillfully avoiding Hwang Yeol. He trusted his keen senses.
Spear strikes imbued with energy rained down.
At that moment, Dan Ho-sang’s eyebrow twitched. He felt a response in his hand holding the spear shaft. It was the feeling of the spear blade penetrating flesh.
‘Got him.’
As he inwardly rejoiced and tried to withdraw his spear. But like being caught between massive rocks, the spear blade wouldn’t budge.
“Kuh!”
Only then did Dan Ho-sang realize something was wrong.
Clang!
The spear shaft Dan Ho-sang had been firmly holding spun at a terrifying speed. Unable to withstand the fierce rotation, Dan Ho-sang had to let go of the spear shaft.
His palm had its skin peeled off revealing red flesh. Shame rather than pain appeared on Dan Ho-sang’s face.
A warrior who used the spear as his weapon had lost his spear. For a proud warrior, there was no greater shame. But he couldn’t stay dazed forever.
Dan Ho-sang hurriedly retreated backward.
Swoosh!
At that moment, the spear flew with terrifying momentum. It was his own spear. Dan Ho-sang caught his spear by concentrating energy in both palms.
Bang!
“Kuhk!”
Dan Ho-sang vomited blood from the tremendous impact. His entire body trembled from the massive shock. But he finally managed to recover his spear.
That’s when the explosions ended and the scene was revealed.
Dan Ho-sang’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Hwang Yeol, that massive body, was hanging limply with Dam-ho gripping his collar. His face and body were burst and twisted, too horrible to look at.
His body that had been harder than steel was now limp like an octopus on land.
One could tell without touching.
Mad Demon Hall Master Hwang Yeol had been beaten to death.
Not with extreme techniques or ultimate moves, but with simple punches he had beaten the great Hwang Yeol to death.
“Good heavens!”
“Impossible!”
Dam-ho was showing the end of merciless and horrible violence. And against the great Hwang Yeol at that.
There was a large hole in Dam-ho’s side. One could tell without checking that it was a wound from Dan Ho-sang’s spear strike.
The sight of Dam-ho beating Hwang Yeol to death while bearing injuries that would have instantly killed a normal person was enough to overwhelm the Demon Cult warriors’ spirits.
Dam-ho’s gaze turned to Dan Ho-sang.
He had faced two of the Seven Great Demon Masters plus the Blood Dark Squad and Hwang Yeol. His entire body was covered in wounds too horrible to look at. It was miraculous he was standing with such injuries. In fact, Dam-ho’s internal injuries were serious.
His energy and blood were shaken, and his internal organs jolted. The injuries inside were more horrible than the visible external wounds.
Yet Dam-ho stood.
That sight shook the foundation of Dan Ho-sang’s spirit.
Thud!
Dam-ho let go of his hand holding Hwang Yeol. Hwang Yeol’s massive body collapsed lifelessly.
Everyone held their breath at the too horrible result.
Hwang Yeol was the Mad Demon Hall Master. One who stood at the peak of battle-crazed fighting demons. He was someone who might beat others to death, but would never be beaten to death.
Such a Hwang Yeol had been beaten to death by overwhelming violence.
What had seemed impossible happened before their eyes.
Shiver!
Dam-ho in the Demon Cult warriors’ eyes wasn’t human. He was an incarnation of violence, a merciless beast.
The limping beast walked past the fallen Hwang Yeol.
His arms wrapped in the Banner of Hundred Battles were stained red. The barely visible writing also glistened red with someone’s blood.
Blood that had flowed down the Banner of Hundred Battles gathered at Dam-ho’s knuckles before dropping to the ground.
Drip drip!
The sound of blood dropping to the ground rang especially loud. That’s how terrible a silence had fallen over Mount Hua.
As Dam-ho approached, Dan Ho-sang retreated. His pupils shook uncontrollably.
His hand holding the spear trembled.
Only then did Dan Ho-sang realize he was afraid of Dam-ho. His body was reacting before his mind.
“Kuh!”
Humiliation appeared on Dan Ho-sang’s face.
The position of one of the Demon Cult’s Seven Great Demon Masters wasn’t obtained easily. It was a glorious position won after countless life-and-death battles. He had fought so many battles and stained his hands with many people’s blood.
Emotions were worn away, humanity destroyed. So he thought he couldn’t feel fear or any human emotions. But seeing Dam-ho before his eyes made him realize how human he still was.
Dam-ho took one step forward. Dan Ho-sang took two steps back. Then he stopped, tripping over something. It was someone’s corpse.
Only then did Dan Ho-sang realize his state and gritted his teeth. Everyone was watching him. Not just the Demon Cult warriors, but also Mount Hua Sect warriors. He felt that if he retreated any further, his life as a warrior would end.
‘To think such a day would come.’
Dan Ho-sang forcefully gripped his spear.
This one spear was all he could trust.
That’s when it happened.
“No need to be intimidated, Elder Dan.”
Someone’s voice dug into Dan Ho-sang’s ears. Looking back, Sang Han-cheon was watching him with cold eyes.
“It’s all bluster.”
“Bluster?”
“Do you see those wounds? Right now that one can barely move by his own power.”
At Sang Han-cheon’s words, Dan Ho-sang examined Dam-ho carefully.
His face that appeared cold at first glance had no blood. His entire body was covered in tremendous wounds.
Especially from the hole in his side, fresh blood was still flowing. It was the wound from his Soul-Chasing Spear.
Dam-ho’s body swayed slightly as if about to collapse any moment. His internal injuries from the battles with Deung Cheon-so and Jin Hye-won, and the persistent Blood Dark Squad, then coming here without rest were serious.
No matter how superhuman his stamina and willpower, he was still human in the end. Being human made of flesh, his stamina would eventually run out. And now Dam-ho had reached his extreme limit.
Only then did Dan Ho-sang recall that his attacks had affected Dam-ho. Fighting spirit that had died down rose again in his eyes.
Sang Han-cheon gestured seeing this. Over a hundred Mad Demon Hall warriors gathered around Dan Ho-sang.
They planned to attack together. Though normally Dan Ho-sang would never accept this due to pride, this time was an exception.
Dan Ho-sang and the Mad Demon Hall warriors approached Dam-ho burning with fighting spirit. At that moment, Dam-ho silently reached into his breast.
His hand grabbed one pill, the Life-Saving Poison Pill. Dam-ho put the Life-Saving Poison Pill in his mouth without hesitation.
Color returned to his face that had been pale. A cold smile appeared on Dam-ho’s lips. The medicinal effects of the Life-Saving Poison Pill Jong Li-yeon had given him were real.
Vitality began returning to his exhausted body.
“H-he?”
Just as Dan Ho-sang was surprised, Dam-ho threw his body toward him and the Mad Demon Hall warriors.
“Here I come.”
“Waaah!”
Mount Hua Sect warriors followed behind him.
