Chapter 74 – People Gathering (02)
Why hasn’t the Murim League ever made an expedition to Hundred Thousand Mountains?
As the evidence shows, the condition of the Murim League warriors gathered in front of the headquarters of the Demonic Cult was not at all normal.
If it were not for the Murim people who were able to move around using Byeokgokdan and several hwandans as food, there were only about 300 members of the Murim expedition that passed through the difficult road that would not have been able to arrive due to supply issues.
In such difficult terrain, there would have been many deaths if it were an ordinary soldier, but since it was unmanned, there were reports that there were wounded and stragglers.
They were barely able to take their place in front of the wall leading into the Demonic Cult’s headquarters, and except for about 100 people who were closely packed together without paying attention to their formation, the rest were leaning against the mountainside and waiting, making it difficult to deploy right away even if a battle broke out.
On the other hand, the demonic cultists are thoroughly prepared, so the opponent probably knows that they have no choice but to lose.
“The vicious demonic cult’s weightlifters must reveal themselves right now! We demand that they fight against us fairly and not cowardly hide within the walls!”
Still, they won’t be able to back down.
As the first captain of the Cheongryongdae, which was directly under the Murim Alliance, he was the commander of Odongchilgeom (梧桐漆劍), which is said to be at the peak of its status.
In the case of Oryong Chilbong, although his skills were excellent, he lacked social prestige because he was younger than most of the martial artists here.
If everything were decided by force like the Demonic Cult, it would not be a problem even if they were young, but the Murim Alliance had to take care of distribution in the martial arts in its own way, so it must have ended up like that.
I was the first to climb up the wall and threw down my sword, looking down at the exhausted Murim Alliance expedition team.
Jade Dragon Sword, Thirteenth Second Style, True Jade Dragon Sword.
Of course, if I hit it like that, the second-rate warriors could be ground to pieces as a group, so I controlled my strength and threw it so that about half of the treasured swords were stuck in the ground.
Quaaang!
Although it was said that the force was deliberately controlled, the sword fell in front of the warriors of the Murim Alliance and shattered the surrounding terrain, causing an explosion of sound and shock.
“It’s a bomb! Bow down!”
Wow!
Since there were no trees or other objects to absorb sound in this vicinity, only walls made of rock and stones, the sound of the sword I threw reverberated majestically throughout the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
While the Murim Alliance’s expeditionary force, which mistook the True Jade Dragon Sword for a bullet, retreated, I lightly kicked my body into the air and flew out of the castle wall.
Tak.
He landed lightly on top of the treasured sword that was half stuck in the ground, blocking the path of the Murim Alliance expedition team.
Seolwha and Sword Dragon offered to help, but I deliberately asked them to wait and intercepted the expedition alone.
From time to time, you can feel Ban Gyu-seong’s presence and Han So-so’s glaring eyes. There was also a look in his eyes that felt like a hawk’s dragon.
However, I did not bother to look for each one of them, but conveyed my intention to all of them.

“Go away.”
I opened my mouth in a low voice, filled with inner energy.
Looking at the destructive power of the Jin Jade Dragon Sword and the power that I was unleashing without sparing, the Murim Alliance’s expedition team was hesitating and retreating.
“The person who suddenly appears is the ultimate…! Where did such a monster come from…?”
When I hide my presence, I may vaguely think that my level is stronger than myself, but if I pour out my inner strength without hoarding it like I am now, I will be able to find out how strong I am even if my level is somewhat different.
Can you make 300 warriors retreat by yourself?
Of course, this is possible in the martial arts world where there is internal strength.
But only if you have that level of skill.
A flock of sheep cannot defeat a wolf no matter how numerous they are, but just as a wolf can defeat a tiger if there are many, if the best masters unite and attack together, they could defeat me or make me retreat.
In the case of the general leading the expedition, it seemed like he actually intended to do so and requested support from Ohryongchilbong, who had reached the peak of his mastery.
“Lady?”
There was a doll passing by the general who was calmly planning a plan to summon Maeryong, Cheolryong, and Geombong to attack together around him.
Unlike the Murim Alliance Expeditionary Force, which is overwhelmed by my momentum and tries to retreat or just observe the situation, the female expert moves forward while letting go of my momentum that is pressuring her.
“I said Yeoncheongha.”
Mubong (武鳳) Jinhongseon.
Among the five dragons and seven peaks, the externally strongest was known as Geomryong, or Maeryong or Cheolryong, but the actual strongest was Mubong.
Ji-Ik-!
She made it easier to use her fighting skills by tying and securing her bandages to the backs of her hands. She wrapped bandages on both of her hands and curled her fists.
“It’s dangerous, young lady. First of all, we must all work together safely…”
She ignored the general’s shouts and came toward me.
She was approaching lightly, as if her words could not be heard by someone weaker than her, and her other five dragons, Chilbong, tried to bring her back.
Pot.
She started running away.
‘I didn’t think we would retreat without a single armed conflict.’
Jinhongseon’s eyes were shining.
At the time of the Yongbong branch, she recognized me as I had reached the pinnacle of excellence and only showed interest in me.
She was a Mubong who had already been thinking about competing with me since then, so when I showed up like this, she rushed at me without hesitation.
‘Sword or fist?’
I am not familiar with the sword of the Sword Saint.
No, on the contrary, it felt worse than using a regular sword because every time I applied internal force, cracks appeared on the surface, and although the strength did not decrease, it told me that something was being damaged, creating a dangerous situation.
I asked Geumseonmahu to keep an ordinary steel sword as a spare, but when using the sword called Okrangcheongeom, the durability of the weapon is severely consumed, so I wonder if it will be able to withstand a fierce battle between extreme experts.
‘But Mubong is not an easy opponent to deal with with a self-defense weapon like the Cheongshim Glass Fist.’
When I left the Murim Alliance, even though she had already figured out that I was leaving with rebellious feelings toward the Murim Alliance, she deliberately released me instead of holding me back.
Just like a fisherman letting go of a big catch, she wanted to fight with me, so she decided I would be her enemy and let me go.
‘The level has risen since last time. ‘It’s an unbelievable talent.’
But there was no way I would lose. Because I haven’t been playing around all this time either.
Her martial arts ability that matches my Jade Rangcheon Sword is…
‘What is it? That… Doesn’t look like a martial arts technique…’
The moment I came down from the hilt of her precious sword and grabbed her sword, Mubong leapt at me and swung her own fist.
This is not some martial arts herbivorous diet. Just a phone punch.
It was literally a punch that was thrown with such a large movement that one’s attack could be clearly seen, but even a third-rate expert would not be easily hit by such a punch.
But she made it difficult for me to time her movements by jumping quickly and bringing her fists almost to my face.
Peeing!
Although it was not a powerful martial arts attack, Mubong’s fist passed my face quickly, but the movement was so obvious that even though I read the attack’s trajectory, I was unable to dodge it completely because it came at me slightly faster than my reaction speed. There was none.
Of course, I couldn’t shake my self-defense skills to this extent, and instead, I drove my knee into Mubong’s side, which created an opening.
Pow!
Likewise, the moment her knee touches the side of her martial arts weapon, her self-defense device is unfolded, and a strong self-defense device made of strength that is twice my own, which is due to how much the Murim Lord has consumed her elixir since she was young, surrounds her. .
On the contrary, I, who attacked, was hurt, but at that moment, I did not simply solidify the energy flowing to her knees, but I made sure that her energy was simply fixed around the area, and I focused my self-defense energy only on the tip of the knee, and then concentrated my energy on the tip of the knee. I concentrated my striking power on and took the shot.
Oh my gosh!
Flesh collided with flesh, and the sound of metal shattering resounded on both sides.
Wow!
Looking at Mubong, who slipped on the floor and retreated, he was unable to land a blow, perhaps because his self-defense technique was so strong, but he also hit the first attack and counterattacked properly, so it can be said that he is an equal player.
‘Martial arts are powerful, but I have the upper hand.’
After mixing my hands, I can figure it out. Can win.
Although her growth rate was amazing, she had a higher growth rate than mine, and more than anything, seeing the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint and the slashing of the first leader of the Black Moon Tang, the slight realization that remained in her head made me advance about half a step. Gave.
We must not give a sluggish victory. Destroys it with one blow.
As I watched her immediately straighten her posture and approach me, striking her right at her solar plexus and her danjeon, I concentrated all my energy on her right arm and used her inner strength. Gathering it together, she infused her energy with such force that her treasured sword exploded.
Then, in order to control the sword, the left hand wraps around the right hand and the handle of the sword is held with both hands.
Damn it!
With the loud sound of the surface of the treasured sword cracking, I let out an explosion of internal power and raised the sword above my head and then brought it down.
For a sword of a supreme expert, it was not that fast. It wasn’t that elaborate.
He simply struck down the sword from above his head with full force, like a mason cutting a stone with a chisel and then striking down a hammer.
This is a swordsmanship that is so brutal that anyone with even the slightest knowledge of swordsmanship will see that they are unable to overcome their own strength and stumble.
But this is the last Twelve Herbs, the Jade Dragon Sword.
The Jin Jade Dragon Sword that was used earlier was a sword that was wielded against only one enemy, rather than sending a shock wave to the ground to deal with multiple enemies.
Kuuung-!!
Because I controlled it as much as possible with both hands, the tip of the treasured sword did not touch the ground and cause an earthquake as before, but stopped exactly at a height of about a finger’s length from the ground.
He didn’t cut off Mubong, nor did he cut off her arm. I just lowered my sword in the air as if I was practicing swordsmanship.
I used more force than necessary, so hard that my legs started shaking.
While most of the Murim Alliance’s expedition team tilted their heads while looking at my ugly appearance, Mubong, who had been running towards me, was frozen in place.
“What a terrible sword…”
Kwasik!
The sound of Mubong’s collarbone breaking resonates.
Although his body was protected by the self-defense skills of a top-level expert, his shoulder was broken by an indirect blow delivered through the air, and he collapsed to the floor.
Oh my…!
As the Sword Saint’s treasured sword split further, he raised the sword with jade-colored powder flying in the air and invited the next opponent.
“Is there anyone more willing to take on the challenge?”
