Chapter 120 Blood Price (3)
─ SWIIIIISH
The dagger flying through the air, tearing through it, was ghastly fast and contained a sharpness that made one's hair stand on end.
Jaun, who confirmed the Alliance Leader's dagger flying before his eyes in the blink of an eye, lay back as he was, placing his back on the ground.
─ SWISH
The red beam of light, which narrowly brushed past Jaun's bangs, drew a large circle and shot toward Jaun once again.
Jaun, who snapped up from his spot, pulled up his energy and drew the Mangru Blood Sword, pointing it toward the dagger.
Since there were no more onlookers remaining in the Inner Court, Jaun also had nothing to hold him back.
The demonic energy amplified through the Reverse Heaven Asura Art began to settle on the sword.
The sword, imbued with Jaun's energy, rang a sword cry of WHIIIIING.
The blood-red dagger and the bright red blade faced each other.
[Blood Flower Death Shadow]
In an instant, thick demonic energy erupted from Jaun's body.
As Jaun's red sword wavered here and there in the darkness, vivid blood flowers bloomed in the air.
The Alliance Leader's dagger, which was flying at lightning speed, was buried as it was into the cluster of blood flowers created by Jaun.
─ CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!
The numerous variations created by the Alliance Leader vanished within Jaun's blood flowers.
The Alliance Leader's daggers, which were trembling within Jaun's sword forms, began to be bounced away one by one.
─ TING!
Each time the Alliance Leader's dagger was bounced away, Jaun's body jolted greatly.
─ TING! TING!
The complexion of Jaun, who laboriously bounced away even the last dagger, had turned deathly pale.
The Alliance Leader, who recovered the three bounced daggers through the profound principle of Telekinesis, toyed with the daggers.
"……Hmmmm."
The Alliance Leader, who was savoring Jaun's energy remaining on the daggers, wore a smile as if she were ecstatic.
On the other hand, Jaun, who was squinting his eyes and looking at the Alliance Leader, laboriously swallowed the rising pain.
He felt his Qi and Blood boiling throughout his entire body from just three clashes.
'She truly intends to see this through to the end here.'
The Alliance Leader's dagger contained a terrible killing intent and a massive power to match it.
Jaun looked down at his trembling legs.
He thought he could withstand at least twenty exchanges, but his physical condition was worse than he had expected.
As his Qi and Blood twisted from the clash just now, a terrible pain began to surge throughout his entire body.
"Guh…… um."
As a small groan leaked from Jaun's mouth, the face of the Alliance Leader, who was watching that sight, instantly flushed red.
"Yes, let out groans like that. Only then is there a taste to hunting."
The red daggers held in the hands of the Alliance Leader, who was slowly walking toward Jaun, reflected a ghastly light.
Jaun carefully checked his physical condition again with a stiff expression.
The state of his entire Qi and Blood was far too damaged to properly pull up and contain energy.
'But…… even if my physical condition is the worst, I cannot back down here.'
Jaun firmed his heart.
Even if he had to convalesce for several weeks afterward, he had to properly settle the match with the Alliance Leader in this spot.
As Jaun lifted his head, an even thicker demonic energy began to flow out.
THUMP-THUMP
The energy throughout his body began to be amplified through the Reverse Heaven Asura Art.
Pain as if his whole body were breaking apart surged in, but Jaun did not stop. Biting his lip hard, Jaun slowly lifted his sword.
Confirming that Jaun was lifting his sword, the Alliance Leader wore a wide smile.
"I'm glad. I was worried about what I'd do if you gave up."
The Alliance Leader, who was looking at Jaun with a smile, slowly lifted her hand.
"Now, shall we go again? What kind of groan will you let out this time?"
A red beam of light erupted from the Alliance Leader's hand once more.
─ SWIIIIISH!
It was an attack even sharper than before.
Jaun bit his lip hard as he watched the Alliance Leader's red dagger approaching.
'I cannot last for a long time.'
Ten exchanges at the most.
That was the limit his body could withstand.
'If I must settle it within ten exchanges, I have no choice but to do my best in each and every move given to me.'
Jaun's sword instantly filled with dark red demonic energy.
Subsequently, a massive storm of demonic energy began to rage around Jaun's body.
Immediately after, Jaun rotated once in place and swung his sword.
─ CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The three red daggers of the Alliance Leader that had flown toward Jaun were bounced away simultaneously.
'I must do my best in each and every move.'
Jaun, who clenched his teeth, kicked off the ground and shot toward the Alliance Leader like a lightning bolt.
As Jaun, who was wrapped in demonic energy, lifted his sword, the surroundings were filled with thick demonic energy as if ink had been splashed.
[Heavenly Killing Demon Sword, Fourth Form. Dark Soul Severing Pierce]
'Sever, and pierce.'
Jaun's sword was drawn from top to bottom and simultaneously thrust forward.
A long semi-circular demonic energy that left a sticky shadow flew toward the Alliance Leader, and a sharply flashing flash followed behind it.
As the Alliance Leader, who lifted her daggers, reached out her left hand toward the incoming semi-circular demonic energy with a bright smile, the remaining three daggers settled between her fingers.
─ BOOM! BANG!
It was an exchange that took place in the blink of an eye.
Looking down at her red-hot daggers, the Alliance Leader turned her gaze toward Jaun.
The corners of the Alliance Leader's mouth were trembling with excitement.
"To think you possess this much power in that physical state. You truly are a dangerous fellow."
White breath was exhaled like steam from the mouth of the Alliance Leader, who shuddered.
"That's why you're more delicious."
The body of the Alliance Leader, who pulled up a full amount of energy, heated up intensely.
"Now that you also seem to have the mind to face me in earnest, there's no need to stall for time any longer."
When the Alliance Leader waved her hand in the air, the daggers that had been bounced away all returned to her hand.
"Try receiving this as well."
The Alliance Leader gave a grin toward Jaun and thrust both hands forward as they were.
"Pierce, Blood Daggers."
The six red daggers exploded toward Jaun with a massive boom.
Jaun quickly looked over the respective paths of the six daggers flying in.
Not a single one was a move to be taken lightly.
Since the number was large, there was also insufficient time to think of a way to deal with each dagger.
This was because the Alliance Leader's daggers had reached the vicinity of Jaun in the blink of an eye.
Jaun, who narrowly struck away one falling dagger and pulled his body away, kicked off the ground and soared high upward.
At the same time as Jaun floated his body, the daggers drew curves and chased after Jaun.
The six daggers soared, aiming for Jaun from their respective directions.
The power and variation contained in each dagger were perfect without exception.
It felt as if he were receiving the flawless combined attack of six Peak Realm masters.
'There is no time to grasp all the variations. In that case……!'
Jaun, who was soaring into the air, momentarily stopped his body.
And after floating in the air for a moment, Jaun lifted one foot high.
[He who seeks to reign must withstand the weight of that position]
─ BOOOOOOM!
Jaun's foot struck the air, containing the profound principle of the Heavenly Demon Descent.
The demonic energy that spread from the body of Jaun, who held his hands behind his back, poured downward like a massive waterfall flowing down.
─ SCREEEECH
─ SSSSSS
Due to the friction occurring between the demonic energy pouring down and the energy of the daggers trying to soar up, thick gray smoke spread out to the surroundings.
Jaun took his second step.
[He who seeks to reign must understand all of the martial gods]
─ THUD!
Thick demonic energy poured down and began to wrap closely around the daggers.
The rotation of the daggers became even stronger, but they could not pierce the thick demonic energy and wavered in the air.
A small drop of sweat fell from Jaun's forehead.
Jaun falling from the air and the daggers guarding their spots, constantly watching for Jaun's opening.
Jaun clenched his teeth and took his final step.
[Only the Supreme Ruler of Ten Thousand Demons, possessor of the divine art, shall reign!]
Jaun's highly lifted foot stamped down on the air.
At that moment, a massive shockwave erupted.
─ BOOOOOOM!
The Alliance Leader's daggers were bounced away in all directions with a massive explosion.
When the Alliance Leader waved her hand again, the daggers that had been bounced in all directions returned to her hand all at once.
The Alliance Leader, who briefly watched Jaun gasping for breath as he landed on the ground, spat on the floor with a PTOOEY.
"Yes. It was so. You are certainly mastering that goddamn martial art properly."
The energy in the Alliance Leader's body began to grow explosively.
The eyes of the Alliance Leader, who once again held the daggers divided between both hands, burned fiercely.
"The martial arts of the Heavenly Demon are a disaster for the Murim."
Massive energy began to gather in the Alliance Leader's body in an instant.
Simultaneously, the Crystal Path on both sides where the Alliance Leader stood cracked open with a CRACK sound.
"In this spot, I shall sever that lineage."
The Alliance Leader, who stepped forcefully on the ground, bit her lip hard.
"Dance, Blood Daggers."
As the Alliance Leader's hands fluttered brilliantly in the air, red beams of light cut through the air once again.
The afterimages of the rapidly moving daggers cut through the sky as if creating a net, dyeing it red.
Due to the daggers shooting in with enormous variations, his eyes were almost dizzy.
Toward the red-dyed front, Jaun bit his lip hard and unleashed his sword again.
[Heavenly Killing Demon Sword, First Form. Flash Flower]
[Heavenly Killing Demon Sword, Second Form. Thunder]
[Heavenly Killing Demon Sword, Third Form. Myriad Changes]
The first three forms of the Heavenly Killing Demon Sword followed one another like flowing water.
Jaun's sword, with his feet firmly on the ground, thrust forward like lightning, creating a massive energy wave.
A sharp slash to bisect that energy wave followed, and finally, brilliant variations filled the sky.
─ CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!
Sword and dagger clashed, constantly creating flashing sparks in the air.
The Alliance Leader's daggers rotated here and there, relentlessly striking Jaun, and Jaun's sword also constantly shot toward the daggers.
─ CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!
A massive energy, different from before, was contained in Jaun's sword as he struck away the daggers falling like rain.
The pitch-black demonic energy that had been filling the area around Jaun gathered at the tip of the sword.
─ BOOM!
Jaun, who struck away the incoming daggers all at once, floated his body into the air as it was.
Due to the energy Jaun had rapidly gathered, the sword heated up red and began to tremble.
After briefly looking at the Alliance Leader, Jaun's arm drew a massive curve.
[Heavenly Killing Demon Sword, Eighth Form. Dark Fragrance Extinction Cut]
─ SLASH
A sound of air being torn erupted in the air.
Looking at the massive semi-circular demonic energy flying toward her, the Alliance Leader's fine hairs stood on end.
There was no time to recover the daggers.
The Alliance Leader, who applied strength to her legs that were slightly trembling without her realizing it, opened her palms wide and thrust them forward.
The palm technique containing the full energy of the Alliance Leader met Jaun's sword energy.
─ BOOOOOOM!
A massive shockwave spread in all directions, and the Alliance Leader, who faced Jaun's energy, was pushed back with a SCCCCRREEEEE.
Several members of the Hidden Killing Squad standing around the perimeter were thrown back, unable to withstand the energy wave, and some members spat out blood rising from within.
Within the massive thick dust caused by the impact, the Alliance Leader waved her hand.
─ WHOOSH
At the Alliance Leader's hand gesture, the thick dust was instantly scattered to the side.
The Alliance Leader, who stood in place and looked down at her hands that had turned dark and were trembling, slowly lifted her head.
'If I don't catch this fellow here and now…… I really won't even be able to lay a hand on him later.'
The Alliance Leader's mind momentarily became clear as if cold water had been poured over it.
She was not hunting a prey.
Realizing that she had met an equal adversary who could even devour her, the Alliance Leader erased the smile from her lips.
A sharp light spread from the Alliance Leader's eyes as the previous leisure disappeared.
The Alliance Leader called back the Blood Daggers and held them in her hands.
"……I was going to let you keep your life. But I can't."
As the Alliance Leader began to pull up her energy with all her heart, a fierce wind began to blow in all directions.
'……Is one or two more times the limit?'
Jaun, who was looking at the Alliance Leader, spat out the blood pooled in his mouth with a PTOOEY.
He had poured out too much energy in succession with his poor physical condition.
His whole body throbbed, and the energy was wavering here and there within his body.
Nonetheless, it was a situation where he could not back down.
Jaun bit his lip hard.
'Fine. Let's see just how far we can go.'
At the same time as Jaun lifted his sword again, the six daggers held by the Alliance Leader soared high into the sky.
