“W-What?!”
Booooom!
A dark red blood fog arose along with the explosion.
Flesh scattered and shattered bones flew into the sky. A person’s body had been smashed into pieces of meat.
Vwoooong! Poooong!
It was a tremendous might.
Due to someone charging at incredible speed, the Gray Wolf Squad troops deployed in the south were falling down in droves. It was as if a battering ram led by dozens of warhorses was charging and smashing everything.
However, that was not a battering ram, but a person.
A black spear shaft, a white axe blade.
Above the black and white Divine Weapon, the weapon of destruction engraved with a roaring dragon was sweeping away the horse bandits like falling leaves in the autumn wind.
Booooom! Boooom!
No one could stop it.
It was an infinite sprint that did not consider retreating. The sprint of the Great Emperor of the West, the ruler of the wind, the White Tiger, bit and struck away all enemies in front of its eyes.
“T-This!”
Hang Chun’s face turned pale.
Hwaaaaak!
It was not even visible who the opponent was yet. The only things that entered his field of vision were the pieces of allied corpses torn and flying in all directions.
And murderous intent.
As if to crush all the horse bandits present, a ruinous murderous intent was crashing down like a tidal wave.
“Retreat! Retreat! Come further inside!”
It was then.
Tiiiiing! Puuuuk!
“Keuk!”
He instinctively twisted his upper body, but a handful of muscle on his left shoulder fell off.
‘An archer?!’
That was right. The archer who had killed all the horse bandits approaching the hostages was now participating in the battle as well.
‘Damn it!’
Hang Chun shouted.
“Capture the hostages first! Sweep them away completely!”
Rumble!
Dozens of horse bandits threw their bodies toward the women.
It might be different if they approached in small numbers, but as long as they rushed as one like this, no matter how divine their archery skills were, they could not block them all.
In fact, Muk Bi was startled. She thought she had frightened them enough, but she did not expect them to come out so stubbornly.
‘Eeeek!’
Tititititing!
She poured out her internal energy as much as possible and fired rapid shots, but only a dozen or so people fell. The remaining thirty or so horse bandits had already reached right in front of the women’s noses.
Even if she could not kill them all, she could not stop. Muk Bi quickly put her hand into her quiver.
‘……?!’
There were no arrows.
Because she was engrossed in protecting the hostages, she had been shooting without realizing that her arrows had run out. It was the first experience of Muk Bi’s life.
She shouted without realizing it.
“No!”
At that time, a surprising event occurred.
Chwarurururuk!
A long black-gray chain squirmed and flew through the empty air.
Booooom!
The black and white axe, which had the alias of a Crazy Dragon, rotated at high speed, indiscriminately split the enemies in the front, and then embedded itself into the ground.
And.
Taaaaaang!
The air exploded.
The flame footwork that covered a short distance at super high speed.
The power of the Vermilion Bird, the ruler of the Southern Heaven and the legendary divine beast worshipped as the Sun God, caused a gust of wind around the body of the young man holding the iron chain.
Chiiiiiik! Chiririring!
The iron chain, which had turned dark red from receiving the Fire Qi, stretched out and wrapped around the necks of the horse bandits.
The young man, Yeon Ho-jeong, pulled the Flood Dragon Chain forcefully.
Puuuuk!
The necks of the five leading horse bandits wrapped in the Flood Dragon Chain flew away.
That was not all. As soon as he sent their necks flying, he re-accelerated with incomprehensible movements and threw his body into the empty air before anyone realized.
Chiririring!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s two eyes, holding the Flood Dragon Chain with both hands, spewed firelight.
Pububububuk!
The Flood Dragon Chain, which rotated shortly and swept the surroundings, shattered and burst the bodies of the horse bandits.
Yeon Ho-jeong let out a spirited shout.
“Euaaap!”
Booooom!
It was the Thousand Catty Drop.
Having fallen to the ground at an incredible speed, he twisted his body quickly and swung the Flood Dragon Chain.
Pubububuk!
That was the end.
The Flood Dragon Chain, swung horizontally as if swinging the Crazy Dragon Axe, tore the bodies of the remaining horse bandits up and down.
Chwarurururuk!
If left alone, the Flood Dragon Chain would return to the rear and harm the bodies of the hostages. Yeon Ho-jeong hardened the Flood Dragon Chain with exquisite internal energy, causing the end of the chain to soar high into the sky.
And then he smashed it down vertically.
Puhwaaaak!
The body of a large horse bandit was split vertically.
Chiriririring!
The technique of pulling the Flood Dragon Chain in a single breath and hanging it diagonally across his upper body was surprising. When a real battle broke out, the technique of handling the iron chain naturally stuck to his hands.
Yeon Ho-jeong shouted.
“Spearmen!!”
Pararararak!
Ten spearmen of Emei wearing bamboo hats sprinted through the path opened by their superior and stood around the hostages before anyone realized.
Thanks to experiencing numerous real battles, all the members of the Evil-Annihilating Army worked together perfectly. Among them, the spearmen of the Emei Sect, led by Song Yeon-gyeong, were undoubtedly the best in forming battle formations.
The weapon called a spear, and a combination capable of telepathic communication.
“Protect the hostages!”
“Yes!”
Their reaction speed was different from the soldiers of the Demon-Sweeping Army.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s command was absolute. As long as no follow-up orders came down, they would stand here and protect the hostages until they died.
Paaaaak!
Yeon Ho-jeong dashed forward in a single breath.
Puuuuk! Pububububuk!
The Evil-Annihilating Army was never noisy.
No one let out a spirited shout. It was because they knew well that raising their voices in such a chaotic battle would only add to the confusion.
They only killed.
They killed the enemies in front of them and only listened to the words of their captain, Yeon Ho-jeong.
They knew exactly how they should act on their own depending on the situation. This was the reason why they could smash all sorts of sects of the Black Path even though their martial arts had not greatly improved.
The Evil-Annihilating Army was strong.
Their organizational power, experience, and mental fortitude were making everything possible.
And the person who trained them like that was none other than Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Mount Hua takes the west! Kunlun takes the center! Everyone else block the retreat route to the north!”
Even with a small number of troops, the tide of battle could be overturned depending on the characteristics of their martial arts.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s discernment was unrivaled, his orders were always timely, and his own ability to execute actions was outstanding.
“Man-ho! I’m going to the left! Throw the axe!”
Booooom!
Three horse bandits’ bodies flew away from an explosive blade strike. It was the Primordial Thunderbolt Blade, a blade technique of the Peng Clan used by Peng Man-ho.
He did not cut, but blew them away. It was to cause the forces pushing in from behind to flinch by consuming a little more internal energy.
The soldiers of the Evil-Annihilating Army were all like that.
They did not just unconditionally kill enemies. They read the tide of battle and advanced while even changing the nature of the martial arts they used.
It was a judgment ability that truly did not fall short of being called a veteran of a hundred battles. Their actual combat experience was only a few months, but they had attached such survival abilities to their bodies while fighting without being able to rest properly for even a single day.
Puuuk! Puuuk!
He blew away a horse bandit with his giant blade and struck down a nearby enemy with his left fist. Peng Man-ho, who went to the place where the Crazy Dragon Axe fell with tremendous breakthrough power, put his foot on the spear shaft.
His thigh bulged outwards.
“Commander!”
Tiiiiing!
The eighty-catty Crazy Dragon Axe split the empty air and flew to where Yeon Ho-jeong was.
Puuuuuuk!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had brilliantly repelled the horse bandits by swinging the Flood Dragon Chain, caught the Crazy Dragon Axe just like that.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes flashed.
Chiriring!
He finally tied it.
Hooking the Flood Dragon Chain onto the large ring at the end of the Crazy Dragon Axe’s shaft and fixing it firmly, he pulled up the White Tiger Qi as much as possible.
Yeon Ho-jeong muttered coldly.
“You’re caught, you sons of bitches.”
Hang Chun’s eyes grew large.
“D-Dodge!”
Flash! Vwoooooong! Pubububuk!
The Crazy Dragon Axe, which rotated while tied to the Flood Dragon Chain, devastated the surroundings.
The White Tiger Qi, which boasted the utmost offensive power based on tremendous centrifugal force, and furthermore, the Jade Gauze True Formula that had reached the tenth star stably held his body in place.
It was a disaster.
Yeon Ho-jeong himself became the eye of the typhoon and swung the Crazy Dragon Axe connected to the Flood Dragon Chain to create a tornado of blood.
Puhwaaaaaak!
The bodies of the horse bandits caught in the Crazy Dragon Axe rotating at incredible speed were torn and blown away just like that.
Pubububububuk!
It was a terrifying might.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who swung that heavy axe at an invisible speed, was also amazing, but the Flood Dragon Chain that withstood the immense weight and sheer physical strength was also amazing.
The terrified horse bandits tried to run away in all directions, but Yeon Ho-jeong did not just watch that happen.
Tuuuuung!
He went back and forth in all directions with the footwork of the Blood Wing Sweeping Heavens, raising a storm of the axe.
It was a natural disaster that no one could stop. The axe, swung by pouring out an enormous amount of internal energy, became the absolute martial art of the world in itself and smashed the enemy bandits.
“How could this be!”
The blood of the subordinates scattered in the empty air soared high, forming a circle along the wind.
It was a blood-colored tornado. The power of the internal energy developed to the limit was blowing away the blood and flesh of the horse bandits high into the sky along with the gust of wind.
Clank!
Stopping his rotation, Yeon Ho-jeong grasped the shaft of the Crazy Dragon Axe.
‘Done.’
With a brief Blood Wind Dance, dozens of horse bandits died.
Of course, Yeon Ho-jeong could not be completely fine. Because he poured out a large amount of internal energy in an instant for a quick battle, he suffered considerable internal injuries due to excessive internal energy consumption.
But that was all. No, it was only that much.
‘Azure Dragon!’
Woooooong!
A brilliant blue-green true qi flared up from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body.
It was the Azure Dragon Qi. The Azure Dragon Qi, which had risen as the main qi, putting aside the other Three Divine Qi, began to control the burden and injuries his body received at a terrifying speed.
Wiiiiing!
The liver function was activated, driving the turbid qi to the kidneys. As the turbid qi gathered in the kidneys, the Black Tortoise Qi naturally activated and vaporized all the turbid qi.
The internal injuries he had just suffered could not be helped, but this was enough. His body condition was not lacking to unleash a strike with all his might.
Booooom!
Holding the iron chain in his left hand and the giant axe tied to the iron chain in his right hand, the figure of Yeon Ho-jeong sprinting was the manifestation of the King of Hell who ruled over the underworld itself.
“Heuk!”
Startled, Hang Chun turned his back and fled.
He was a super-expert who caused unbelievable damage with an axe and an iron chain. Not to mention a head-on confrontation, he could not guarantee his survival even if he fought him while leading dozens of Gray Wolf Squad members.
‘I’ll die! I’ll definitely die!’
Hang Chun ran with all his might towards the inner compound.
It was then.
“You moronic bastard.”
Wooooong!
The Crazy Dragon Axe that flew in from the right drew an arc and returned to the left.
Hang Chun’s eyes grew large. Before he knew it, the black-gray iron chain was wrapped around his neck.
‘Nonsense……!’
Crack! Puhwaaak!
As soon as his neck broke, it was torn off and flew away. It could not withstand the weight of the axe.
It was a cruel attack. It was a fitting end for one who had killed and humiliated countless people up to this point.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked around.
‘Done.’
The flow of the battle had changed.
Now the numbers were similar. However, more importantly, due to his and the Evil-Annihilating Army’s appearance, the morale of the Gray Wolf Squad had plummeted to the rock bottom.
The time had come to end this.
“Demon-Sweeping Army!!”
Yeon Ho-jeong shouted.
“Everyone, engage in a counterattack! We will catch them all within two quarters of an hour!”
The resounding shout of the Evil-Annihilating Army Commander.
Even though it was not an order from their direct superior, the Demon-Sweeping Army soldiers charged as if they had been waiting. Their morale had soared due to the terrifying abilities shown by Yeon Ho-jeong and the Evil-Annihilating Army.
“Kill them all!!”
“Advance! Advance!”
“Uwaaaaa!”
The Demon-Sweeping Army charged again while letting out strange screams.
And the remaining three people also immediately jumped into the front line.
Paaaaak!
Ok-cheong, protecting the vanguard of the Demon-Sweeping Army while emitting the Tai Chi True Qi.
Cheok-gang, taking down the horse bandits head-on while employing practical martial arts.
Furthermore, even Muk Bi, flying through the sky with divine footwork and shooting arrows of true qi, the Shadowless Bullets.
The combined forces of the Demon-Sweeping and Evil-Annihilating armies finally drew out their maximum abilities and began to annihilate the Gray Wolf Squad.
