Chapter 272 : The Sword Without a Name
Chapter 272 : The Sword Without a Name
The floating flying swords all rushed at Ma Seongun at once.
The momentum contained in each and every flying sword was unusual, so a powerful energy that would not be outdone by it also surged from Ma Seongun’s two hands.
“You can’t do anything with such tricks.”
Ma Seongun waved his two hands and struck all the rushing flying swords.
Jin Sohyun, who had caught the bounced-off flying swords in mid-air, inhaled.
‘From now on, I have to use all my strength.’
After throwing the flying swords with the power of the Thunder Flash in mid-air, he spread his two hands and led the rest of the flying swords at the same time.
He combined the realm of the Thousand Hands and the power of the Explosive Flying Sword, and added the Thunder Flash to it.
Heaven-Filling Thunderburst Sword Rain.
With the sound of thunder, the flying swords poured down.
Ma Seongun, who was looking up at this as if he were satisfied, threw the flying sword that had flown in first without a care and inhaled deeply.
“Come on! My long thirst.”
Kwagagagagang—!!!
The explosive thunder that fell from the sky shook the world.
A strong explosion that made it impossible for any martial artist to stand properly occurred continuously.
In the midst of the tremendous explosion where it seemed not even a single ant could survive, a black figure popped out.
That figure was wearing a black energy like a robe all over his body, and in his exhaled breath, a sinister energy came out like a snake’s tongue.
The two eyes, which were flashing with blood-red light, stared at Jin Sohyun.
“It’s still not enough… try to struggle more, more, Jin Sohyun!”
Thump— thump—!!
Ma Seongun, who had come running, leaving black footprints, instantly closed the distance and stretched out his right hand, which was dyed black.
Jin Sohyun quickly twisted his body to avoid it.
At that moment, the shout of a person who was presumed to be Cheon Yusin was heard from behind him.
“Bloodless Hand! You must not touch the Blood Demon’s hand!”
At the warning of Cheon Yusin, who had already been hit by the Bloodless Hand and could not use his right hand, Jin Sohyun stomped his feet and tried to shake off Ma Seongun.
But the speed of the Blood Demon, who had absorbed Bieunggaek’s power, was as fast as Jin Sohyun’s.
“I know that this is not all of your power. Show me all of you!!”
Ma Seongun persistently followed and unfolded the Bloodless Hand, and the black hand-rake rushed in, blocking Jin Sohyun’s escape route.
Jin Sohyun unfolded the Different Form Changing Position and instantly created five afterimages.
“Tricks!”
As Ma Seongun’s two hands drew the character ‘之’, the black energy in the shape of a rake hand that was wrapped around his body tore all the afterimages that Jin Sohyun had created to shreds.
And among them, Ma Seongun, who had found Jin Sohyun’s real body, curled the corners of his mouth long.
“I got you.”
Ma Seongun, who had instantly rushed at Jin Sohyun, stretched out his hand.
At the same time, Jin Sohyun, who was standing tall, supporting his body with his two legs, stretched out his left hand forward and turned his right palm downward.
Seuk—!
A flying sword flew to his right hand.
“Flying Heaven.”
It was just one sword.
But the power contained in that sword was so great that even the Ma Seongun of the world had to take a sharp breath.
A strong blue light flashed, and the figure of Ma Seongun, who had crossed his two arms, was pushed back.
The black energy that was wrapped around his body like a robe was torn in all directions and wriggled.
‘This power is…!’
His two arms were tingling.
His black qi, which could block even the sword qi of an absolute master, could not block the one flying sword that Jin Sohyun had shot.
Ma Seongun silently looked at the stream of blood flowing from his two arms.
The wound soon healed, and the stream of blood that was flowing on his skin was quickly absorbed into his skin.
“Hehehe…”
Ma Seongun laughed pleasantly.
“As expected, you… never disappoint me.”
“Hoo—! It’s really hard.”
Jin Sohyun held a second flying sword in his hand and licked his chapped lips with his tongue.
***
Pyo Ung, who had started a full-scale battle with the seven martial artists who had come to escort Jin Sohyun, was greatly flustered.
‘Are these really late-stage prospects?’
The Mixed Demon Unit led by Pyo Ung had a powerful force that was strong enough to fight with the elder-level martial artists of the Nine Great Sects and the Five Great Families.
If the situation was right, they had the confidence to win even against the elder-level.
Nevertheless, the late-stage prospects of the righteous martial world were fighting on equal terms with the Mixed Demon Unit.
Not only that, but some young martial artists overwhelmed the Mixed Demon Unit members.
‘White Moon Palace!’
Cheon Gasung of the White Moon Palace, who was directly facing Pyo Ung, was strongly pressing him with his excellent swordsmanship skills.
Especially the terrible cold qi that was revealed between the sword strikes, which seemed to freeze the internal organs, was gradually dulling Pyo Ung’s senses.
‘I have to endure!’
Even if he couldn’t win against Cheon Gasung, Pyo Ung was planning to at least buy time.
Anyway, the fight between the heretic and righteous paths would soon be decided by the fight between the Blood Demon and Jin Sohyun.
‘Ma Seongun will never be defeated.’
The Ma Seongun he had experienced was a born hegemon.
Just one step until he achieved the heretic path’s world.
Pyo Ung gritted his teeth and swung his sword against Cheon Gasung, even for the sake of the Heretic Path's Alliance and Ma Seongun.
Soon after, the swords of the two clashed fiercely.
“Get lost!”
Jong Ryeo'ak strongly pressed the Mixed Demon Unit member with the characteristic fast sword of the Jongnam Sect and cut his left knee.
But the sword of the Mixed Demon Unit member, which had thrust in, aiming for a gap, pierced Jong Ryeo'ak’s shoulder.
Although the pain made his head dizzy, Jong Ryeo'ak gritted his teeth and advanced.
Although the blade pierced his shoulder even deeper, he did not care.
“Kekekekek!! Let’s see who dies first!”
Jong Ryeo'ak thrust the sword he was holding into the abdomen of the Mixed Demon Unit member.
Like this, the two martial artists did not retreat an inch, with their swords pierced through each other’s bodies.
In the meantime, Namgung Seoru avoided the sword of the Mixed Demon Unit member by a hair’s breadth and then put strength into the hand holding the sword.
‘Let’s advance. I am… Namgung!’
Namgung Seoru’s sword was dyed in a golden light.
At the same time, her blade came down strongly from above, cutting the Mixed Demon Unit member.
The Mixed Demon Unit member, who had judged that he could not block Namgung Seoru’s sword, gritted his teeth.
“For the alliance.”
He gave up his defense and lowered his sword.
The sword of Namgung Seoru fell on the head of such a Mixed Demon Unit member.
Peok—!!
The golden blade deeply cut the shoulder of the Mixed Demon Unit member.
But the Mixed Demon Unit member, who had prepared for death, gave up his body and instead squeezed out his last strength and swung his sword.
His blade deeply cut Namgung Seoru’s left thigh.
“Keuk!!”
Namgung Seoru completely cut down and killed the Mixed Demon Unit member and then staggered greatly.
Her gaze reached her left thigh.
The blade of the Mixed Demon Unit member was deeply stuck in her thigh.
“Damn it…!”
While Namgung Seoru pulled out the blade stuck in her thigh and panted, Beomkang and Yonghui each fought fiercely against the Mixed Demon Unit member in front of them.
Beomkang’s fist shattered the head of the Mixed Demon Unit member, and Yonghui’s dao cut his waist in half, killing him, almost at the same time.
“Vicious… bastards!”
The body of Beomkang, who had won, staggered greatly, just like Namgung Seoru.
The Mixed Demon Unit member, who had chosen a mutual destruction, had thrown his body and had exploded a hidden weapon from his bosom.
Thanks to that, Beomkang, who had large and small hidden weapons stuck all over his body, staggered, bleeding from his mouth and nose.
Yonghui supported him.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m… fine.”
Yonghui smiled faintly and then bit her lip.
She had also been deeply cut in the side by the killing move that the Mixed Demon Unit member had thrown just before he died.
‘At this rate…’
Yonghui stuck her dao into the ground and supported her body.
Kaang—!!
Cheon Yerang’s Blue Eye saw through her enemy.
‘Right and front.’
Cheon Yerang, who was seeing through the movements of the Mixed Demon Unit member as if she were predicting them with her Blue Eye, avoided the blade that was thrusting in from the front, leaving only a hair’s breadth of a gap, and then swung her sword.
Her blade, which had stretched out gracefully, drawing a half-moon, cut the Mixed Demon Unit member in two from bottom to top.
Cheon Yerang, who had tilted her head back and avoided the hidden weapon, let out a ragged breath.
“Hoo!”
Cheon Yerang, who had even avoided the surprise attack of the Mixed Demon Unit member who had chosen a mutual destruction at the last moment, looked at Cheon Gasung, who was overwhelming and pushing Pyo Ung, and then looked at Jin Sohyun, who was fighting the Blood Demon.
“Young Master Jin…”
In front of her eyes, the huge punch created by the Blood Demon covered the earth.
***
Kwaaaang—!!!
A punch and a palm strike, which were imbued with a powerful energy that made it difficult to even stand on the ground, came in succession.
At this, Jin Sohyun took a step forward with his left foot and flew his flying sword.
His flying sword and Ma Seongun’s punch clashed in mid-air.
Kwareureung—!!
The shockwave that was created with the clash of the two forces, which contained a great force, swept the surroundings like a typhoon.
Jin Sohyun stepped on the ground with his two feet and then staggered greatly.
“Keuk!”
The blood that had flowed from his torn skin was scattered in all directions.
At the same time, the smell of blood also came from the breath that had burst from Jin Sohyun’s mouth.
He had suffered an internal injury from the continuous shockwaves.
“Hoo-woo…”
Ma Seongun approached Jin Sohyun, who was wiping the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and staring at the front.
“Are you tired already? In the end, you too… have not escaped from being a human.”
Ma Seongun said this and raised his left hand.
A black sphere swirled and was created in his palm.
“This is the Ink Command Ring, which was made by infusing the lives and strength of those I have swallowed.”
Ma Seongun smiled slyly and stretched out his hand forward.
“In this, the power of your master, Bieunggaek, is also contained. So take it… the power of a god.”
The Ink Command Ring, which had left Ma Seongun’s hand, created a strong vortex and flew at Jin Sohyun.
“I’m going crazy.”
Jin Sohyun’s mouth was dry.
Since he could not take that ignorant mass of qi head-on, avoiding it was the best policy.
But.
‘My legs won’t move.’
The Ink Command Ring was pulling Jin Sohyun with a strong gravitational force.
If unavoidable death were to be materialized, would it look like this?
Jin Sohyun aimed his flying sword at the approaching death.
“It’s a little early, but…”
If he can’t avoid it, he has no choice but to break through.
“Nothingness Sword.”
The Nothingness Sword, which contained Jin Sohyun’s internal energy, advanced at a speed that was neither slow nor fast.
Soon after, Jin Sohyun’s Muheo Sword and Ma Seongun’s Ink Command Ring clashed under the reddened sky.
“…”
The Ink Command Ring, which was as good as an unavoidable death, and the Muheo Sword, which caused the annihilation of existence.
The clash of the two forces was unexpectedly very quiet.
The Ink Command Ring, which had swallowed the Muheo Sword, stopped its advance and began to wriggle intensely, and then the qi of the Ink Command Ring scattered in all directions, and in between, a flying sword stretched out and stopped in front of Ma Seongun.
“Hmm.”
Ma Seongun, who had stopped the flying sword with just two fingers, looked at Jin Sohyun with an interested face.
“Then will you block this too?”
The two Ink Command Rings were created from the two hands of Ma Seongun, who had thrown the flying sword.
At this sight, the martial artists in white who were watching the fight between Jin Sohyun and Ma Seongun fell into despair.
“Oh my god.”
“This is impossible…”
The Ink Command Ring, which had a power that was no different from the special techniques of absolute masters who had raised not only their own power but also all their innate true qi. The power of the Blood Demon, who could create not one but two of them without a care, was truly desperate.
And Jin Sohyun, who was facing this in front of his eyes, led his tired body and held two flying swords in his hands again.
“Can I do it…”
Jin Sohyun smiled faintly.
“Now is not the time to worry about such things.”
He closed his eyes and slowly breathed.
The internal energy left in his body was truly a handful.
It was far from enough to block the two Ink Command Rings.
‘Lend it to me just this once.’
Jin Sohyun felt the wind brushing his cheek and the earth he was stepping on with his whole body and breathed deeply, even deeper.
In his inhaled breath, Jin Sohyun sucked in qi.
The natural qi that existed everywhere between heaven and earth, which covered his whole body.
‘If I can accumulate internal energy through the breathing method, it should be possible to borrow it for a moment.’
If other martial artists had heard it, they would have gone on a rampage, saying that such a thing was impossible.
Jin Sohyun tried it, with the enemy in front of him.
And soon, qi gathered in Jin Sohyun’s breath.
“Jin Sohyun…!”
While others were skeptical of Jin Sohyun’s action of breathing with his eyes closed, Ma Seongun, who had opened his eyes to a new realm through the Blood Jade, was different.
He could see it with his eyes.
The figure of Jin Sohyun, who was receiving the protection of all things in heaven and earth.
‘I can’t give him time.’
Instinct led, and the Blood Jade urged.
That he had to kill Jin Sohyun right now.
Ma Seongun, following the advice of the Blood Jade, shot the Ink Command Rings he had created in his two hands at Jin Sohyun.
At the same time, he put his two hands together and created an even larger Ink Command Ring.
The large Ink Command Ring contained a power that was burdensome even for Ma Seongun, who held the Blood Jade.
“Jin Sohyun!!”
A total of three Ink Command Rings that had left Ma Seongun’s hands flew at Jin Sohyun.
The moment Oh Yoran, who was watching this from a distance, was about to throw her body for her disciple with a surprised face.
“Mrs. Oh!”
“Great Master Kang! Sohyun is in danger!!”
“Wait… wait and see!”
“What do you mean, wait and see! Are you telling me to watch Sohyun die!?”
“My disciple will not die so futilely.”
Kang Cheon looked at his disciple, Jin Sohyun, with eyes full of firm belief.
“Because Sohyun… will never give up.”
Kugugugugung—!!
When the unavoidable deaths came close to Jin Sohyun’s eyes, the two eyes of Jin Sohyun, which seemed like they would never open, slowly opened.
“Hoo—!”
With his last breath, Jin Sohyun raised his flying sword forward.
Because it contained all things in heaven and earth.
An undefined power.
Therefore, a sword that did not even have a name.
“Nameless Sword.”
