“Kuk!”
Ma Gok-cheon’s mouth opened slightly. It was due to the intense shock that resonated through his internal organs.
Dam-ho’s fist was already embedded in his abdomen. However, it had not yet penetrated the Diamond Indestructible Body.
“I told you it’s useless.”
Ma Gok-cheon muttered while raising both arms. He intended to strike down on Dam-ho’s back just like that.
Bang!
At that moment, Dam-ho’s other fist drove into Ma Gok-cheon’s belly. Ma Gok-cheon’s body shook greatly from the intense shock.
A light of anger appeared on Ma Gok-cheon’s face.
“Use… less…”
Bang!
His words were cut off. It was because Dam-ho’s fist drove in once more.
“Damn! This bastard…”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ma Gok-cheon couldn’t continue his words. It was because Dam-ho’s fists drove in consecutively without giving him a chance to speak.
His body shook repeatedly like a leather bag hanging in the air. Dam-ho’s fists poured down like a sudden downpour. Ma Gok-cheon’s upright body curved like a shrimp.
“Kreuk!”
For the first time, a groan mixed with pain flowed from his lips. A light of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
‘But I have the Diamond Indestructible Body. I shouldn’t be able to feel pain?’
It was pain he was feeling for the first time in nearly twenty years. That’s why it was all the more bewildering.
‘Diamond Indestructible? Absolutely unbreakable?’
Dam-ho didn’t believe those words.
Could a human truly achieve Diamond Indestructible Body? Since a human body isn’t made of diamond, no matter how harshly one trains, it can’t become as hard as diamond.
Kwakwakwa!
Following the Explosive Star Strike came the Five Finger Rock Breaking Energy, and then the Single Strike Wall, rolling like a wheel one after another.
The Explosive Star Strike created cracks in Ma Gok-cheon’s solid body, the Five Finger Rock Breaking Energy widened the cracks. And the Single Strike Wall transmitted the shock internally.
“Kreuu!”
Ma Gok-cheon staggered backward. His eyes were opened so wide they couldn’t get any bigger.
The extreme pain that started in his abdomen was spreading throughout his entire body. The alien feeling that his whole body was creaking prevented him from reacting normally.
“It’s dangerous!”
The first to sense danger from Ma Gok-cheon’s staggering appearance was none other than Yeom Su-gang.
He deployed the Dazzling Dark Demon Jade Hand to attack Dam-ho. However, Dam-ho didn’t give him even a glance and attacked Ma Gok-cheon.
Kwaaa!
The black energy stream of the Dazzling Dark Demon Jade Hand scattered uselessly around Dam-ho’s body.
“Kreuk!”
Yeom Su-gang let out a bewildered groan. All five fingers of his right hand that had deployed the Dazzling Dark Demon Jade Hand were bent in the opposite direction of the joints. The moment he struck Dam-ho’s body, his hand was injured by the unprecedented tremendous force instead.
“How?”
Yeom Su-gang raised his head to look at Dam-ho. Only then did he see the violent energy swirling around Dam-ho’s body. Dam-ho had deployed the Violent Demon Energy at some point.
Bang! Bang!
Dam-ho attacked Ma Gok-cheon while deploying the Violent Demon Energy.
Ma Gok-cheon’s eye level, which had been looking down at Dam-ho for quite some time, was now even with his. His waist had bent that much from the continuous shocks.
Dam-ho and Ma Gok-cheon’s gazes met directly. The moment he saw Dam-ho’s eyes that had sunk so deep their bottom couldn’t be seen, Ma Gok-cheon came to know the true nature of the emotion he had been feeling all along.
It was fear.
Fear.
The heart that fears others.
Ma Gok-cheon had been fearing Dam-ho from deep within his heart. That’s why he had been putting on more bravado.
At that moment, Dam-ho grabbed Ma Gok-cheon by the throat.
“No!”
“Stop!”
Sensing the crisis, Yeom Su-gang and Ga Ui-cheon simultaneously shouted and rushed forward. However, Dam-ho’s movement was much faster than theirs.
Kwaaa!
A whirlwind current occurred and Ma Gok-cheon’s massive body was pulled up into the air. And his body, having reached the highest point, flipped like lightning and fell upside down. The Earth-Heaven Strike was deployed.
“Kreut!”
Witnessing Ma Gok-cheon about to fall head-first to the ground, Ga Ui-cheon flew his body like lightning.
Even Ma Gok-cheon, who boasted of his Diamond Indestructible Body, couldn’t help but receive great shock if he fell head-first to the ground like that. No, he would certainly receive great shock.
Ga Ui-cheon, who had approached in an instant, spread his palm wide trying to catch Ma Gok-cheon’s body. With his internal energy, catching Ma Gok-cheon would be nothing. Under normal circumstances, that is.
However, the man called Dam-ho he was facing was an existence far beyond his common sense. Especially his sense for seizing the moment of victory was unparalleled.
Paeng!
Dam-ho’s waist spun terrifyingly like a top. Accordingly, the direction Ma Gok-cheon was falling also changed. It was precisely the direction Ga Ui-cheon had been running to catch him.
“Kut!”
A bewildered light appeared on Ga Ui-cheon’s face. It was because Ma Gok-cheon’s body was falling at a faster speed than he had expected.
“Damn it!”
Crash!
With a scream-like voice, Ga Ui-cheon became entangled with Ma Gok-cheon and tumbled together.
His entire body screamed from the unexpected shock. However, he didn’t have time to leisurely complain about the pain.
Ga Ui-cheon instinctively pushed Ma Gok-cheon away and sprang up.
Speed was life for Ga Ui-cheon. While Ma Gok-cheon, who had achieved the Diamond Indestructible Body, had the stamina to endure, Ga Ui-cheon did not. The moment his two legs stopped moving would be his greatest crisis.
‘I need to get away!’
That was the moment.
Crack!
A sound like bamboo splitting was heard from his leg area.
Instantly, Ga Ui-cheon’s eyes opened wide and his mouth gaped open.
Tremendous pain was felt in his leg. When he looked carefully, he could see Dam-ho’s leg had split his left shin in two.
Bone protruded through the flesh, and the broken leg was dangling.
“Kreuu!”
When the pain is too severe, even groaning sounds don’t come out. That was Ga Ui-cheon’s current state.
Blood mixed with saliva flowed from his mouth.
‘Gok-cheon was bait. What he really targeted was me.’
Only then did he realize he had fallen for Dam-ho’s trick. However, his realization was too late.
Dam-ho’s palm had already adhered to his chest and instantly twisted in a spiral shape.
The Five Finger Rock Breaking Energy was deployed.
“Kreaa!”
Ga Ui-cheon screamed at the top of his lungs from the pain of his entire body being dismantled.
“You madman!”
Seeing this scene, Yeom Su-gang deployed the Nine Lives Severing Technique of the Dazzling Dark Demon Jade Hand with his left hand.
Kwaruru! A tsunami-like hand energy rushed toward Dam-ho.
No matter how strong Dam-ho was, he wouldn’t be able to ignore energy attacks. Yeom Su-gang was confident that even if he couldn’t wound Dam-ho with this move, he could at least separate him from the two people.
However, Dam-ho’s reaction exceeded his imagination. Dam-ho grabbed Ma Gok-cheon, who was rolling on the ground, and used him to shield his front.
Kwabang!
“Kreheuk!”
The hand energy Yeom Su-gang had launched struck the innocent Ma Gok-cheon’s back.
Normally, Ma Gok-cheon’s body would have been unaffected even by hand energy. However, his body was now at its limit from Dam-ho’s consecutive attacks.
Just as a cup full of water overflows with the addition of just one more drop, it only took Yeom Su-gang’s single strike to break Ma Gok-cheon’s body that had reached its limit due to Dam-ho.
Chuhwahak!
A tremendous fountain of blood shot up from Ma Gok-cheon’s back. The hand energy had punched a hole right through Ma Gok-cheon’s body.
Yeom Su-gang, who had inadvertently injured his comrade with his own hands, stopped in surprise.
Ma Gok-cheon wasn’t in his right mind due to the consecutive injuries. The pain he was feeling for the first time in nearly twenty years made his mind confused.
In an instant, Ma Gok-cheon was neutralized, and Ga Ui-cheon had lost his mobility and was rolling on the ground. Yeom Su-gang bit down hard at the unbelievable scene that had occurred in an instant.
“You demon-like bastard!”
His voice naturally trembled out. However, Yeom Su-gang himself didn’t know this fact.
His mind was filled only with the thought that he had to save Ma Gok-cheon and Ga Ui-cheon.
They were friends who had come through a hell-like world. Though they had many conflicts, they were the only beings he could trust in this harsh world.
To him, his friends were everything in the world. He couldn’t imagine losing them all.
Yeom Su-gang said.
“Put Gok-cheon down, Fist Demon!”
Instantly, Dam-ho’s forearm coiled around Ma Gok-cheon’s neck like a snake.
“You?”
“What if I refuse?”
“I’ll kill you. By any means necessary!”
Instantly, Dam-ho’s pupils became even blacker. His pupils, rippling with ink-like color, exuded an eerie sense of unease.
Strength entered Dam-ho’s forearm.
Crack! Crack crack!
The sound of bones colliding echoed from Ma Gok-cheon’s neck.
“Kek!”
Ma Gok-cheon, who had momentarily lost consciousness, opened his eyes wide. He struggled, trying to escape from Dam-ho’s grip. However, Dam-ho’s arm was like a steel clamp and wouldn’t budge.
Ma Gok-cheon operated the Diamond Demon Shadow Art that had enabled him to achieve the Diamond Indestructible Body. Powerful internal energy swirled throughout his body as strength entered his muscles. However, he couldn’t escape from Dam-ho’s arm. Dam-ho was also operating the Dark Soul Cultivation Method.
Strength against strength, a contest of power between the Diamond Demon Shadow Art and the Dark Soul Heart Method began.
Crack! Crack crack!
“Kreuu!”
The sound of bones shifting echoed from Ma Gok-cheon’s neck, and stifled groans flowed from his mouth. His face gradually turned red, and all the blood vessels throughout his body bulged out.
Ma Gok-cheon could feel it. The fact that his neck bone, harder than steel, was breaking. Absurdly, Dam-ho was trying to break his neck by twisting it.
“Stop!”
Stab!
At that moment, Ga Ui-cheon, who had barely managed to raise his body, stabbed Dam-ho’s back with his Tiger Fang Blade. The sharp Tiger Fang Blade was deeply embedded in Dam-ho’s back without any resistance.
Dam-ho flinched from the intense pain. However, he didn’t stop strangling Ma Gok-cheon’s neck.
“Wha… what?”
The sight of Dam-ho twisting Ma Gok-cheon’s neck while the Tiger Fang Blade was embedded in his back was beyond eerie to pure terror itself.
Crack!
Instantly, Ma Gok-cheon’s head turned with a snap. The neck bone he had boasted was harder than steel broke, and his tongue hung long outside his mouth.
“Gok-cheon!”
“No!”
The desperate cries of Yeom Su-gang and Ga Ui-cheon echoed simultaneously.
Dam-ho released the arm that had been holding Ma Gok-cheon’s neck. Then Ma Gok-cheon’s massive body collapsed powerlessly.
Behind the collapsing Ma Gok-cheon, Dam-ho’s figure stood tall like a demon.
The fierce battle had also inflicted great wounds on Dam-ho.
His entire body was dyed red with blood, and he was staggering as if he might collapse at any moment. A tremendous amount of blood was flowing from his back where the Tiger Fang Blade was embedded. However, his two eyes were still shining brightly. That appearance didn’t look human at all.
“You demon-like bastard!”
“How can a human be like that?”
The two people trembled at the sight.
Their bodies were having residual convulsions. Though they didn’t want to admit it, they were feeling fear right now.
Especially the fear Ga Ui-cheon felt was indescribable.
This was the Dam-ho he had mocked so much.
He had mocked that even if Dam-ho died, he wouldn’t be able to catch him. He had been confident that with limping feet, Dam-ho could never follow his two legs. However, Dam-ho had broken one of his legs in a completely unimaginable way.
The nickname Lightning Flash could no longer be used. Even when the wound healed completely, he would never again achieve the same speed as before.
That was when it happened.
Dam-ho’s movement, which had been swaying like a reed, stopped completely. At some point, the blood that had been flowing from where the Tiger Fang Blade was embedded also stopped completely.
Dam-ho reached behind his back and grabbed the handle of the Tiger Fang Blade.
Slide!
The sound of the sharp blade cutting through flesh as it was pulled out made the cloud mist surge greatly, as if frightened.
Clang!
The sound of the Tiger Fang Blade falling to the ground struck the hearts of Yeom Su-gang and Ga Ui-cheon.
“What will you do now?”
“……”
Dam-ho asked, and the two people couldn’t answer.
Dam-ho parted the cloud mist and walked toward them. He was still limping in the same way. However, this time no one could mock such a Dam-ho.
Thump! Slide!
The sound of his footsteps was approaching like a calamity.
