Chapter 107 - Eagle Wing Sky Boundary
“!!!”
A murder that happened in an instant.
Both the guests inside the Clear River Pavilion and the Ghost Face Gang’s guards lost their sense of reality.
Lord Huang was defeated?
And with a single strike?
It was something they had never even thought about.
Should it be called a storm in silence?
Although no one spoke easily, a fierce typhoon was raging in people's minds.
“…………!!”
After a breeze passed, people took an interest in the sect Uma mentioned.
Those who had gambled or drank together stuck close to each other and carefully started a conversation.
“Diancang Sect? What is that?”
“I feel like I’ve heard that name before……?”
“I don’t know well……?”
“Hey. Did you forget the Diancang Sect already? Still, it was one of the Nine Sects One Union once.”
“Ah, I remember. World's Fastest Sword……! That was the sect where that person was, right?”
“Right. That’s right. There was a sect called Diancang Sect in Yunnan. But that sect was, more than ten years ago…….”
Didn't it go completely ruin?
The gazes of the crowd turned to Uma again.
There was a time when martial artists of Jianghu were scared just by seeing the dark blue martial arts uniform, the wing pattern on the chest, and the decoration on the sword handle.
But now, most people couldn't understand even after the name of the sect was spoken.
Of course, it didn't matter much to the person involved, Uma.
Thud.
Uma examined various parts of Lord Huang’s body, whose neck had been pierced.
Soon his gaze stopped at Lord Huang’s right ear.
“Hmm. Here it is.”
A small character was engraved behind Lord Huang’s ear.
A tattoo of the character ‘Ghost’, taking the first letter of the Ghost Face Gang.
Any member of the Ghost Face Gang whose rank reached a certain level had this tattoo somewhere on their body.
Uma, satisfied looking at the tattoo, turned his head again.
“If you don’t come now, I will cut your neck, not your fingers.”
At Uma’s words, the goat-bearded man’s face turned pale.
Wait, that man’s words are absolutely not a bluff.
Didn't Lord Huang’s neck actually get pierced just now!
The goat-bearded man turned his large head this way and that, crossing his gazes.
The man looking like a Yaksha in front of him, and the subordinates of the Ghost Face Gang.
It was an appearance of weighing the options to anyone looking.
“Ha……!”
“What are you doing now?”
At the goat-bearded man’s behavior, the Ghost Face Gang subordinates swallowed hollow laughs.
Although Lord Huang was defeated, there were over ten swordsmen of the Ghost Face Gang here.
Right now, this guy is placing Uma and all of their group as equal combat power.
Slither slither.
What was more surprising was what happened next.
The goat-bearded man, who had been weighing things this way and that, dragged his feet slithering toward Uma.
For the Ghost Face Gang, it was truly absurd.
“That cripple……?”
The faces of the Ghost Face Gang changed literally like ghosts.
Looking at their expressions, he was bound to die by the Ghost Face Gang group, not Uma.
But nevertheless, the goat-bearded man had no choice but to make a choice.
‘Do you think I’m comfortable, you sons of b*tches……!!’
Steps to give up fingers instead of the neck.
The goat-bearded man’s feelings were equally miserable.
But the goat-bearded man had his own conviction.
To use techniques in a gambling den, a sharp eye is essential.
The goat-bearded man clearly witnessed the dazzling Sword Aura unfolded from Uma’s sword in a fleeting moment.
That was a level he hadn't seen even when Lord Huang fought, let alone the Ghost Face Gang subordinates here.
Uma clearly warned the goat-bearded man.
That if he didn't come now, he would die.
To him, the words of one person, Uma, felt more intense than over ten Ghost Face Gang subordinates.
“Okay. I will make you two companions on the road to the underworld together.”
Clang!
Perhaps because they were evaluated as less than one person, Uma, the Ghost Face Gang subordinates each roughly drew their swords.
“Don’t let your guard down just because he is alone. Although it was a surprise attack, to subduuuuue Lord Huang!!”
Crack.
“?!”
Before the one standing in the lead could even finish his words, Uma’s sword flew and lodged in his heart.
“What……!”
Again.
Following Lord Huang, another swordsman was defeated in an instant.
“This bastard!”
“Cowardly using a surprise attack again……!!”
The Ghost Face Gang subordinates were enraged and sharpened their sword blades.
However, Uma’s expression was relaxed beyond measure.
He rather shrugged his shoulders and even laughed.
“Euhehehe. Surprise attack? Did you say surprise attack?”
“……?”
“The fight started from the moment you grasped the swords in your hands. Is there a need to mix words anymore?”
The Ghost Face Gang ground their teeth but had nothing particular to say.
Actually, as Uma said, they were prepared to fight anytime.
Then, Uma’s attack just now was not a ‘surprise attack’ but just an ordinary single strike.
It just felt like a surprise attack because that single strike was so fast.
Literally, Quick Sword.
“Then try blocking well this time. Let’s see if you can block if I tell you.”
A bluish aura begins to form on Uma’s sword blade.
Sword Aura.
It was a Sword Aura containing strong internal energy unbelievable for a young man around twenty.
Where on earth did such a rookie master pop out from?
However, the suspicion did not last long.
Having paid the sacrifice of two people, the Ghost Face Gang decided never to yield the initiative this time.
“Strike!”
“Tahaaat!”
From all directions, the Ghost Face Gang’s swordsmen rushed toward Uma.
At first, they seemed to care about damaging the tavern's property, but now they didn't care about such things.
Pababak!
With liquor cups and gambling wooden tiles scattering here and there, the Clear River Pavilion became a chaotic hell in an instant.
Clang! Clang!
In that turbid environment, Uma was parrying the Ghost Face Gang’s swords well.
He parried not only the enemies from the front and sides but even the single strike of a swordsman who approached secretly as if he had eyes on the back of his head.
“…………!”
As they exchanged moves, the faces of the Ghost Face Gang swordsmen began to distort more and more.
The joint attack they were unfolding now was at a level that even Lord Huang, the manager here, would find difficult to endure.
However, Uma was blocking the swords of enemies rushing from all directions without superfluity.
Blocking?
No, looking differently, the expression ‘blocking for them’ seemed more fitting.
Because Uma’s expression and movements felt like he was testing something.
Clang!
Uma, who was exchanging moves this way and that, suddenly burst into mad laughter.
“Hahahaha! It’s truly Ten Inferior One Sword!”
“Wh, what?”
The crowd was startled amidst admiration at the pronunciation that was too sticky.
Judging by Uma’s expression and intonation, they misunderstood that he surely spat out a vulgar curse.
But Uma’s true meaning was Ten Inferior One Sword.
Meaning ten people are not as good as one sword.
Let’s say the ten people are the Ghost Face Gang subordinates in front of his eyes.
Then who is the one sword?
A handsome man appeared in Uma’s memory.
‘Senior Brother. Do you know what battle you will experience the most when you go to Hunan?’
‘What is it?’
‘One-versus-many battles. We are few, and the enemy numbers are enormously high.’
‘I see. But why bring that up suddenly while training?’
‘The Eagle Talon Twelve Swords has a move good for dealing with the majority, right? Try unfolding that from now on.’
‘What? But right now here it’s only you and me.’
‘No. That’s not it, Senior Brother Uma.’
At that time, Uma recalled.
The face of the handsome man smiling a smile stickier than an evil spirit.
‘Because my clones will combine strength to attack Senior Brother.’
‘Uaaack! This crazy bastard!’
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A smile spread naturally on Uma’s lips.
Easy.
It is too easy.
The movements that guy showed while training really seemed like several people attacking simultaneously.
How can swordsmanship unfolded by one person look like an attack by many?
But from the beginning, he was a guy to whom common sense didn't apply.
Actually, Uma didn't find the current battle difficult.
No, far from difficult, he was rather enjoying it.
Compared to the training with that guy where he was beaten like a dog on the hottest day of summer, this is no different from a child's school play level.
And, he had experienced enough which move was advantageous in this kind of battle.
Squeeze.
Uma’s lower body, hardened by the Flying Eagle Steps, condenses strength.
The appearance of lowering his posture while holding the sword in front of his collarbone was quite perilous.
“Oh my……!”
It was to the extent that sighs burst out even from some of the crowd who didn't know swordsmanship well.
Because Uma showed a shrinking posture as if deliberately exposing his body to danger.
Vwoong…….
However, the blue Sword Aura placed in front of Uma’s collarbone was still emitting a sticky light.
‘Opportunity……!’
The Ghost Face Gang’s swordsmen rushed toward Uma without exception.
While they were anxious because attacks weren't working anyway, attacking became much easier as Uma lowered his posture.
“Tahaaaat!”
Countless swords pour down toward Uma.
At that moment.
The smile disappeared from the lips of Uma, who had been grinning throughout.
Flash!
A blue circle.
A dazzling Sword Aura that makes eyes frown naturally draws a round circle.
It looks as if a large ring has formed around Uma.
A move of the Eagle Talon Twelve Swords that cuts all enemies in all directions simultaneously by rotating the sword horizontally once.
Eagle Wing Sky Boundary!
Like the meaning of a hawk’s feathers circling the sky, Uma’s sword swept away everything inside the circle containing strong energy.
Crunch!
Slash!
Claaang!
“!!!”
Just one sword.
With just one sword of Eagle Wing Sky Boundary, several sword blades flew away, weapons broke, and the bodies of the Ghost Face Gang subordinates were severed.
Approaching Uma with high spirits rather became an irreversible source of trouble.
“Wh, what kind of ghost’s harmony is that!”
“The people rushing in were bounced back instead?”
“Oh my god, to think there is such an absurd…… no, powerful move……!”
In fact, the Eagle Wing Sky Boundary of the Eagle Talon Twelve Swords was a move used when defending against attacks from the majority.
Rotating the sword in a full circle like this was useful when protecting the caster's surroundings.
However, because Uma’s sword authority was so domineering and his level of internal energy was excellent, it not only defended but continued that momentum to inflict damage.
A technique that can evolve into offense and defense in one if the caster's internal energy and swordsmanship are excellent.
That could be called the Eagle Wing Sky Boundary.
‘How is it. The words that one can rob the opponent with just the Eagle Talon Twelve Swords are true, right?’
Thanks, you bastard.
Uma, who spat ptooey at the auditory hallucination heard from somewhere, soon moved his body like lightning.
Since his physique was large and his movements were fast, it looked like a giant beast living in the Southern Barbarian lands running wild.
Slash!
Splaaash!
“Kuaaaaack!”
There was no way the Ghost Face Gang, having lost the majority of their combat power in one blow of Eagle Wing Sky Boundary, could block Uma.
The only thing left for them was to crumble while scattering blood in the blue Sword Aura.
For Uma to deal with all figures of the Ghost Face Gang, only a few seconds were needed.
Thud.
As the last remaining swordsman fell to the floor, Uma turned his head to look at one side.
There was one gambler sitting down with strength lost in his legs.
One gambler of the Clear River Pavilion caught using a technique.
“You, come here a bit.”
Uma, with his face covered in blood, beckoned his finger toward the goat-bearded man.
Truly, it was a spectacle he didn't want to see ever again.
***
“The Clear River Pavilion was reduced to ruins……?”
“That is so. Gang Leader.”
An unusually white and clean hand slowly moves a brush handle.
His painting skill was so good that every single animal created seemed like it would squirm its body at any moment.
“A gentleman's revenge is not too late even after ten years…….”
A man wearing a white ghost mask mutters to himself.
The Clear River Pavilion being attacked was quite a big incident.
But perhaps because the experience of receiving sad news was too old?
The masked man shrugged his shoulders and laughed instead of getting angry.
“Did you say it was definitely the Diancang Sect?”
“That is so. Gang Leader.”
“Seeing them reveal their identity themselves means they investigated enough to know…… impressive.”
The masked man muttered such words and still painted.
Even though one of the Ghost Face Gang’s lucrative sources of income was smashed to smithereens, there seemed to be no particular agitation.
Furthermore, isn't the opponent a force full of grudges against them?
However, nevertheless.
To Dancheong, the Leader of the Ghost Face Gang, the existence called Diancang Sect felt just like annoying gnats.
They are not the same selves as when they attacked the Diancang Sect wearing black clothes in the past.
To them, who dominate the Changsha area, the downtown of Hunan, the Diancang Sect was nothing more or less than annoying gnats.
“Make sure to bring them alive. I will personally draw pictures on their skins with hot molten iron.”
It was when Dancheong said so and tried to draw the pupil in the dragon’s eye.
“Gang Leader……!”
Another subordinate came in with an unusual face and hurriedly opened his mouth.
“A-additional communication came in; they say five business sites including brothels were smashed at the same time……!!”
“?!”
Slip.
It was the moment when Dancheong’s brush stroke, drawing the pupil, went awry.
