Chapter 122 : Sa Ma Clan
Kuwung-!
The massive Twin Rings wielded by Jang Wi crashed against the black demonic qi barrier I had deployed, letting out a roar.
The barrier, a mix of the dharma power's purity and the demonic qi's ferocity, didn't even crack under the blow of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens.
"How can this be! How can demonic qi and dharma power coexist in one body!"
Jang Wi shouted in shock.
In his common sense, Orthodoxy and Unorthodoxy were like water and oil.
But the brat in front of his eyes was weaving those opposing forces like chains to use as a shield.
"The world always flows into situations that defy common sense."
I smiled fishily and thrust the Vajra forward.
Diamond Immovable Wisdom King Divine Art
Demonic Fire Fist Eruption
Purple fla shot out like a lightning bolt from the tip of the Vajra.
Jang Wi hurriedly crossed his Twin Rings to block, but he was pushed back several jang, scraping the ground, by the heavy destructive power contained in the fla.
-Kukuku, watch your back!
As soon as the Sword Venerable's warning fell, Gwak Wi's figure rose like mist from my blind spot.
In his hand were Flying Rings hanging from thin silver threads.
"They say legacies recognize their masters. These items are undeserved for a bastard like you!"
Shushuk—!
Dozens of Flying Rings drew bizarre trajectories, trying to bind my entire body.
But at that mont, a chilly cold soared from my feet.
"Ice Wall!"
As Seol Ye-rin drove her ice sword into the ground, the Flying Rings aiming for my back instantly hit the ice wall and bounced off.
"Don't worry about the back!"
"I'm here too!"
Cheon Deung-jin also whipped the heat of the Fire Spirit like a lash, sweeping through Gwak Wi's hiding spot.
Gwak Wi clicked his tongue and hid himself in the darkness again.
Even under the joint attack of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens, our party didn't waver in the slightest.
"These cheeky wenches……!"
Jang Wi adjusted his grip on the Twin Rings again and raised his fighting spirit.
A ferocious aura peculiar to him boiled up from his entire body.
But I fingered the prayer beads on my wrist with a relaxed expression.
"Seeing that the divine items aren't resonating, I guess you don't have them right now?"
At my provocative question, the Twin Venerables' eyebrows twitched.
"Kuhaha! We are no longer martial artists who rely on divine items!"
"This brat, until the end……!"
Jang Wi and Gwak Wi threw their bodies simultaneously.
Massive iron rings crushing from the front and silver trajectories tightening from all sides.
The true joint technique of the Ten Venerables Twin Venerables, the Twin Heavens Ring Calamity, was about to unfold.
***
Woowoong—!
The atmosphere of the plain tore and scread at the qi horns emitted by the Twin Venerables.
Jang Wi bit his lip, feeling the heavy iron-colored enhanced qi wrapping his entire body.
They were the ones praised as the Ten Venerables under the Heavens for decades, standing at the peak of the Murim.
Yet, they couldn't take down a Demonic Cult brat whose na was unfamiliar.
"Gwak Wi, let's tear that bastard limb from limb."
"You don't need to tell . The price for daring to mock the Ten Venerables under the Heavens is only death."
Gwak Wi's voice laid down coldly.
The two's true qi intertwined in the air, beginning to form a bizarre shape.
Jang Wi's massive Iron Rings rotated, drawing a destructive trajectory from the front, and dozens of Gwak Wi's silver Flying Rings hid within the shadow of those iron rings.
Twin Heavens Ring Calamity
A technique aning a ring that traps both heaven and earth simultaneously.
If the frontal destructive power emitted by Jang Wi breaks the shield, Gwak Wi's silver rings dig into that gap and cut the throat.
Countless experts of the Central Plains had fallen, spraying blood before this joint technique.
Kwakwakwakwa—!
Jang Wi kicked off the ground and shot forward.
The massive Twin Rings rolled up loose dust and fell above my head.
It was a strike containing the pressure of a great mountain, not just the weight of a weapon.
"Die, brat!"
The mont Jang Wi's roar burst out, Gwak Wi also pulled the silver threads from within the shadows.
Silver trajectories poured down like rain from all directions around .
If I blocked the front, my whole body would be hacked to pieces, and if I tried to dodge, I was destined to be crushed by Jang Wi's iron rings.
But an unbelievable sight unfolded before the Twin Venerables' eyes.
I didn't dodge.
Instead, taking a step forward, I held the Vajra in reverse and kicked the ground hard.
'I know various martial arts.'
First.
The martial arts of the Demonic Cult possessed through the mories of my past life.
Second.
The martial arts of the North Sea Martial Gods obtained by eting the Sword Venerable and the Demon Queen in the North Sea Ice Palace.
Third.
'Obtained by acquiring the divine items of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens.'
The martial arts of the Four Venerables.
Hwaruru—!
Flas wrapped around my entire body.
The foundation was still the Extre Yang Body.
The flas wrapped my body soon.
Kuwuwung—!
Created a domain.
A massive vortex mixed with purple, gold, green, and colorless energies soared from beneath my feet.
The mont Jang Wi's iron rings touched that barrier of energy, their speed dropped rapidly as if they had fallen into a swamp.
Gwak Wi's flying rings were also swept away by the intense wave of true qi, losing their trajectory and starting to dance in the air.
"T-This can't be……!"
Jang Wi's eyes were dyed with shock.
Not only was his full-powered strike blocked from the front, but the sensation of his internal organs twisting from the backflowing energy was transmitted.
Gwak Wi also felt a creepy fear.
His killing intent hidden in the fog was being thoroughly dug up before the resonance sound of the four divine items I emitted.
"M-Monster."
"I expected sothing since you're called the Ten Venerables under the Heavens, but were you just guys playing ring toss?"
My cold sneer was heard from beyond the curtain.
The Twin Venerables intuitively realized.
That the ones being hunted here today might not be Hyeokryeon Yeom, but themselves.
***
The Small Snow Squad mbers and the won, who were building a desperate defensive line around the carriage, held their breaths for a mont at the unrealistic spectacle unfolding before their eyes.
In the middle of the plain thick with rising loose dust, a massive pillar mixed with purple and gold soared as if to pierce the sky.
Standing expressionlessly within that brilliant yet ferocious radiance, Hyeokryeon Yeom already looked like he wasn't human.
"……Was the Captain that strong?"
The sword gripped by Baek Mu-yong trembled minutely.
He was the one who had watched my growth most closely while going through the Southern Barbarians and the Western Regions, but he couldn't help but shudder at this overwhelming majesty that crushed the Twin Venerables' joint attack head-on.
The spirit wave I emitted wasn't simply a release of true qi, but it turned the earth itself into my domain.
Seol Ye-rin, standing at the entrance of the carriage, subtly put strength into the hand holding her ice sword.
A strange possessiveness flashed in her transparent eyes along with awe.
'Amazing…… Just where is the Third Young Master's end?'
Seol Ye-rin's heart, colder than the eternal snow of the North Sea, was lting helplessly before that hot fla.
It was a joyous thing that I beca stronger, but the stronger I beca, the more she felt the distance growing.
She couldn't help a corner of her chest becoming cool.
Cheon Deung-jin also stared at my back, entranced.
The hot blood of the Extre Yang Body boiled as if resonating.
"Why Father trusted the Young Master and entrusted to him…… Now I know for sure."
Cheon Deung-jin bit her lip watching the evil energies scattering before my attack.
The weight of the na Ten Venerables under the Heavens felt as light as a re feather at my toes.
Even Seong Sang-ah, who was observing the battle situation most cool-headedly, shone her eyes while covering her lips with her slender fingers.
***
By the ti the explosive wave of true qi subsided, the plain had been brutally dug up as if a giant beast had clawed through it.
At my toes, walking slowly out of the domain I unfolded, were the Twin Venerables who used to command the Murim, crushed on the floor along with their pride.
Jang Wi's massive iron rings were crumpled beyond recognition, and Gwak Wi gasped for breath with the acupoints of his entire body twisted.
Their dignity, called the Ten Venerables under the Heavens, was in tatters like clothes burnt by fire.
I brought the tip of the Vajra to the nape of Jang Wi's neck.
"The ring toss is over. Now you have to answer my questions."
"Keuheuk…… A brat of the Demonic Cult…… Daring to do this to us."
Jang Wi spat blood-mixed saliva and glared, but as strength was applied to my toes, he stuck his head in the ground with a scream.
My eyes were shining coldly like emotionless gems.
"Do you know the na Seol Cheon-u?"
Flinch.
The Twin Venerables also reacted to the na Seol Cheon-u.
"You know."
"…I don't."
"Why did that person called the Ice Emperor distribute divine items to the Ten Venerables under the Heavens?"
At my question, Gwak Wi burst into bizarre laughter.
Although defeated, madness still lingered in his eyes.
"Ice Emperor…… you say. If you an that arrogant man who handed us these divine items, I can't forget when he ca to find us. Do you know what he said while entrusting the divine items to us? He said, 'The day the balance of the world collapses, the true owner will appear and retrieve these'."
My brow narrowed. Seol Cheon-u was a person from hundreds of years ago.
He absolutely couldn't have handed over the divine items.
"He entrusted…… the divine items? Where did he go?"
"I don't know…… He said he would head to the place closest to the sky, not the center of the Central Plains. He said he would appear again when the Ten Venerables under the Heavens all gather in one place, where he sleeps. But brat, do you think that's possible?"
"Who knows."
"Kill !"
"I intended to do so anyway."
Before Gwak Wi's shout ended, I swung the Vajra and destroyed their qi centers.
The Twin Venerables, who could no longer live as martial artists, scread in despair, but I didn't even look back.
"The place closest to the sky……."
At that mont, the Divine Physician got off the carriage.
"Hmm? Were they the guys aiming for my tokens?"
Co to think of it, I also heard that the Twin Venerables ca aiming for the Divine Physician's tokens.
"Do you know them?"
"What token were these guys aiming for again……."
Rummaging through the token bundle, the Divine Physician took out a token as if he found it.
My eyes fixed on the token the Divine Physician took out.
Tied to an old leather strap, it seed to have withstood the wind and waves of a long ti, but the pattern engraved on its surface was emitting a strange light of wisdom.
"This pattern is……."
My brow trembled.
Engraved on the token was the shape of a black lotus blooming.
Among the countless sects of the Murim, only one place used this symbol, a family of shadows that worshipped gloomy and powerful strength.
"It's the token of Sa Ma Gang, the Clan Head of the Sa Ma Clan."
At the Divine Physician's words, my eyes began to sparkle.
