Chapter 125 : Crossing the Fog (2)
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Dozens of sword energies cut and stabbed Yuk Sam-yuk like a waterfall. Yuk Sam-yuk moved his body left and right, dodging what he could and taking what he had to.
Whoosh! Thump!
The two blue dragon palms that he had unfolded with both hands extended three zhang towards Jin Sa-wol.
Jin Sa-wol retreated five zhang, escaping the range of the blue dragon palms, and then approached Yuk Sam-yuk again, stabbing and cutting with his sword.
It was a distance of exactly three zhang.
When Yuk Sam-yuk rushed in, he ran away, keeping a distance of three zhang, and when Yuk Sam-yuk stopped, he drew a circle and attacked him.
Clang! Clang-clang!
Yuk Sam-yuk's entire body was as hard as steel. His blue skin was like armor, and the fog-like energy that surrounded him blocked the sword energy.
"Hmph!"
As a strong light arose from Yuk Sam-yuk's entire body, Jin Sa-wol hurriedly retreated.
Thump!
The earth exploded, the air shook, and a whirlwind arose.
'He's following me.'
Whoosh! Jin Sa-wol, who was advancing towards Yuk Sam-yuk in a low posture, frowned. Although it looked as if Yuk Sam-yuk was just standing still, in reality, he was following Jin Sa-wol's speed.
Shwish!
The speed of the blue dragons that cut through the empty air was like light. Jin Sa-wol dug into the gap and moved his flexible sword quickly.
At some point, the speed at which Yuk Sam-yuk's hands moved became similar to Jin Sa-wol's fast sword.
Jin Sa-wol's Yuseom Sword, which had cut the long palm and flown, cut Yuk Sam-yuk's arms and legs.
It was the same place, the same spot.
Clang! Crack!
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had blocked Jin Sa-wol's sword by raising his forearm, had a hardened expression when a crack appeared on his left forearm.
Jin Sa-wol's Yuseom Sword flew into that spot.
'You sensitive bastard.'
Whoosh!
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had moved his body back, put strength into his feet and extended his right palm.
Thump! With the sound, dozens of small light clusters extended towards Jin Sa-wol.
With the move of the Hundred Dragon Half Stone, the surroundings were instantly filled with blue dragons.
Yuk Sam-yuk had shown his ultimate technique before Jin Sa-wol. It was a pride-hurting matter, but he had no choice.
In that instant, Jin Sa-wol's figure disappeared as if it had sunk into the ground. Immediately after, four lines cut Yuk Sam-yuk's neck and passed.
It was the fifth sword of the Ghost Soul Seven Swords, the Heaven Ghost Killing Sword.
Thwack!
"Keuk!"
Yuk Sam-yuk staggered at the strong shock he felt from his neck, and then, feeling a sword stabbing his back, he put strength into his legs.
Thump!
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had kicked the ground and jumped up, flipped his body and extended his two palms towards the ground, unfolding the Blue Dragon Wind Breaking Palm.
A dozen or so blue dragons fell towards Jin Sa-wol.
Thump!
As the dragons fell from the sky, Jin Sa-wol crossed his two swords and retreated.
Then he jumped into the storm-like wind and swirling dust.
Immediately after, a white line fell from the sky and split the swirling dust in half.
Thwack!
The white line that had split Yuk Sam-yuk's head to his groin and passed by hit the ground and exploded with a 'thump!' sound.
The ground was split in half, and its length was five zhang.
Thump!
Yuk Sam-yuk's figure split in half and then disappeared faintly. And Yuk Sam-yuk's figure appeared five zhang behind.
"What kind of technique was that?"
"You don't need to know."
Jin Sa-wol, immediately after unfolding the Hell Severing Soul Sword, the sixth sword of the Ghost Soul Seven Swords, ran towards Yuk Sam-yuk again without even taking a breath.
The moment he narrowed the distance of five zhang, Yuk Sam-yuk's entire body was engulfed in a red light.
Shwaak!
As the red dragon flew in, he extended his Yuseom Sword into it. A dozen or so sword rings drew a circle and swallowed the red dragon.
Thump!
"Keuk!"
Jin Sa-wol, who had been pushed back, creating two lines on the ground, had a hardened expression. His wrist, which was holding the sword, was numb.
'What an amazing internal palm technique.'
Yuk Sam-yuk, immediately after unfolding the Red Dragon Man's Red Dragon Demonic Palm, had half of his body dyed red.
It was a strange sight. His expression hardened when his face began to turn red.
Drip!
A drop of red blood flowed from the Cheondol acupoint located in the center of his clavicle.
"Huh?"
Yuk Sam-yuk's eyes widened as he touched his clavicle.
"When? It was then."
Yuk Sam-yuk recalled the time when the Hell Severing Soul Sword had cut his body. It was only then.
He remembered that in that fleeting moment, Jin Sa-wol's left hand had shaken slightly.
Jin Sa-wol had unfolded the Hell Severing Soul Sword with his Yuseom Sword, and had cut the same spot once more with his flexible sword. Since the second time was focused on speed, the power was weak.
Although the power of the sword energy was weak, he had succeeded in cutting the flesh.
Drip!
As the skin around his chest, from the Cheondol to the Okdang acupoint, split and blood flowed out, Yuk Sam-yuk's complexion changed.
In that instant, Yuk Sam-yuk disappeared.
Whoosh! Papapat!
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had appeared around Jin Sa-wol with a red shadow, stabbed Jin Sa-wol with his two hands.
Jin Sa-wol's sword blocked Yuk Sam-yuk's hands.
Clang!
As a sharp metallic sound echoed, four sword lights bloomed and crossed Yuk Sam-yuk's entire body.
Thwack!
"Keuk!"
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had been pushed back, had a hardened expression. Jin Sa-wol was standing five zhang away, with his two swords lowered, breathing heavily.
It was the Heaven Ghost Killing Sword that had used the explosive burst.
Drip!
A drop of blood flowed from Yuk Sam-yuk's neck. He had cut the skin that had turned red.
'He's crazy about swords.'
Yuk Sam-yuk showed a flustered expression as blood flowed from his body, which was like an indestructible body.
He, who had an absurd expression, turned his head and glanced at Woo Jeong-bong and Dokgo Shin-wi.
'It's something that can be easily done.'
Whoosh!
In that instant, his figure flew towards Woo Jeong-bong and Dokgo Shin-wi.
Jin Sa-wol, as if he were surprised, flew up like a great roc and chased Yuk Sam-yuk.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The figure of Yuk Sam-yuk, who was approaching with a strong wind, looked like a strange monster that was red and blue.
Woo Jeong-bong hurriedly put his internal energy into his sword and raised his sword energy.
Shwaak!
A red dragon flew towards Woo Jeong-bong. Woo Jeong-bong gritted his teeth as he saw everything in front of him turn red.
"What are you standing there foolishly for! Dodge!"
Thwack!
Dokgo Shin-wi pushed Woo Jeong-bong away and stood in front of him, holding his sword. His entire body was engulfed in a white strong energy.
Dokgo Shin-wi, who had gathered all his remaining internal energy and even his innate true qi, manifested his sword energy.
Thump! Thump!
With a strong impact, Dokgo Shin-wi's figure was pushed back and he collapsed.
"Ugh!"
Dokgo Shin-wi, who had vomited dark red blood, staggered with a pale complexion and looked for Yuk Sam-yuk. In that instant, Yuk Sam-yuk's figure appeared behind Dokgo Shin-wi, grabbed the back of his neck, and raised him.
"It would be easy to die, wouldn't it? From now on, you'll have to be a meat shield."
Yuk Sam-yuk placed Dokgo Shin-wi in front of his chest and poked his head out. In his eyes, he saw Jin Sa-wol standing at a distance of two zhang.
Jin Sa-wol looked at Dokgo Shin-wi, who was in a state of near death, with an indifferent face. His figure, wet with blood, was a sight he had never imagined in his life.
The strength drained from his right hand, which was holding the sword.
Yuk Sam-yuk sneered and raised his right hand, which had turned red.
"If you move even a little, your neck will break, won't it?"
"It seems you've chosen the wrong meat shield."
When Jin Sa-wol asked, Yuk Sam-yuk shook his head.
"If you weren't close, there would be no reason for you to be standing side by side in that cave."
At Yuk Sam-yuk's words, Jin Sa-wol's shoulders shook slightly.
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had confirmed that, smiled.
In the meantime, Kang Hang was taking the chest containing the secret manual.
Yuk Sam-yuk's eyes turned to Kang Hang for a moment, and then Jin Sa-wol's and Dokgo Shin-wi's eyes met.
"As you learned..."
At Dokgo Shin-wi's low voice, Yuk Sam-yuk put strength into his hand.
"Keuk!"
As Dokgo Shin-wi's face contorted, Yuk Sam-yuk's eyes widened.
Swish!
The strange feeling that had dug into his Cheondol acupoint was definitely a silver-white sword. Yuk Sam-yuk stared at Jin Sa-wol, who was standing in front of him, with wide eyes.
Jin Sa-wol's sword had pierced Dokgo Shin-wi's left shoulder and had accurately stabbed Yuk Sam-yuk's Cheondol acupoint.
"Keuk!"
Thump!
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had thrown Dokgo Shin-wi with a groan and retreated, looked at Jin Sa-wol as if it were absurd.
Jin Sa-wol quickly hugged Dokgo Shin-wi and laid him down.
"Since I've achieved my goal, I'll retreat."
Whoosh!
Although he followed Kang Hang and headed for the lake, Jin Sa-wol did not move. Dokgo Shin-wi's safety was the priority over Yuk Sam-yuk now.
Dokgo Shin-wi, who was lying down, looked at the sky blankly, and when he saw Jin Sa-wol's face, he slowly shook his head and closed his eyes.
"Don't worry about me... just do your own thing."
Whoosh!
Jin Sa-wol jumped up in the direction where Yuk Sam-yuk had disappeared without a word.
"You heartless bastard."
Dokgo Shin-wi shook his head, hearing the sound of Jin Sa-wol moving away.
"Are you okay?"
At Woo Jeong-bong's voice, Dokgo Shin-wi opened his eyes. But when he saw Woo Jeong-bong, he closed his eyes again.
"I'll be fine if I rest for a while. Are you Sa-wol's friend?"
"Yes. Senior."
"Go wake up that useless child over there."
"Yes."
Woo Jeong-bong answered and then approached the fallen Dokgo Hyeon and woke him up. Dokgo Hyeon, who had come to his senses, ran towards Dokgo Shin-wi, who was lying as if he were dead, shedding tears.
* * *
"Keok! Cough! Cough!"
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had jumped over the lake and stood on the cliff where the main hall of the esoteric sect was, staggered, holding his Cheondol acupoint.
Blood was constantly flowing from his Cheondol acupoint. It was not even easy to breathe.
"Keok!"
As blood flowed from between his lips, Yuk Sam-yuk stopped breathing and pressed his Cheondol acupoint. Kang Hang approached him as he was looking for a golden sore medicine to stop the bleeding.
"Are you very unwell?"
Kang Hang asked from a distance of about three zhang. As he felt killing intent from his face, Yuk Sam-yuk's expression hardened.
"The great Lord Yuk of the world was seriously injured by a nameless nobody and ran away. A passing dog would be surprised and bark."
"You bastard... Keuk! Don't... Cough! Cough!"
Yuk Sam-yuk opened his mouth and vomited blood, and then his eyes widened when he saw a red palm shadow flying in.
"How dare you!"
Kang Hang raised his voice and extended his left hand. A blue light collided with Kang Hang's right palm.
Thump!
"Kraaak!"
Yuk Sam-yuk, who had been pushed back about ten steps by the strong shock, trembled all over. Kang Hang was also pushed back three zhang and his eyes widened.
"You son of a bitch! Where did a dying guy get this kind of power..."
Kang Hang staggered, enduring the pain as if his chest would burst. Although he felt like he would die from the internal injuries, there was no other chance to kill Yuk Sam-yuk than now.
He had to kill him to take all the secret manuals.
It was enough to take the secret manuals and hide for a while.
Thump-thump!
In that instant, urgent footsteps were heard from behind. The startled Kang Hang turned his body.
Whoosh!
A sharp silver light brushed past his neck.
"Huh?"
Kang Hang stared forward with wide eyes. But there was nothing to be seen. It was just that his neck was a little itchy.
"If you had run far away, I wouldn't have chased you."
At the voice from behind, Kang Hang's eyes widened, but that was the end. A fountain of blood gushed from his neck and soaked his entire body.
Thump!
Although Kang Hang had collapsed, Jin Sa-wol did not even glance at him.
Jin Sa-wol was looking at Yuk Sam-yuk, who had a pale complexion.
"Cough! Cough!"
Yuk Sam-yuk, who was staggering, vomiting blood with a cough, stopped moving when he saw the sword that had pierced his solar plexus.
"You can't take anything."
Jin Sa-wol twisted his sword.
