Return of the Mount Hua Sect

Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 1058

Baek Cheon unconsciously clenched his teeth tightly.

His wide-open eyes didn’t know how to leave Chung Myung and Jang Ilso, who were fiercely pushing Dan Jagang.

“This….”

It truly was a marvelous sight. It was an attack and defense at an incredibly fast pace, where even his eyes, which had trained to the limit with Chung Myung, could not help but miss the final blow moment by moment.

Even if he couldn’t see every detail, he could definitely understand the intensity of the battle enveloping them. It was felt not with the eyes but with the skin. It was the senses, not the mind, that shivered first.

“Those madmen…”

In order not to miss the gap that has been revealed once, they makes a desperate effort to prevent an enemy’s attack that deviates from common sense as if they knew it beforehand.

The high-speed exchange of blows, like interlocking gears, seemed more like a well-orchestrated opera than a fight.

“Sasuk….”

“Yes.”

Baek Cheon nodded heavily at the voice coming from behind him.

“They’re driving him back.”

Every time Chung Myung’s sword leaped like a viper, the enemy… the bishop of Magyo, was being pushed back.

Paaaaaat!

Every time Chung Myung cut through the air like a thunderbolt, there was a terrible sound. Baek Cheon gripped his fists tightly enough to turn his knuckles white.

“That bastard…”

Looking at the current Chung Myung, he can’t help but find out. The fact that none of the things he showed in his sparring with them or in his fight with Black Dragon King were Chung Myung’s full strength.

‘No. That’s not it.’

Chung Myung didn’t really hide his abilities. It’s just that neither they nor Black Dragon King could draw out all of Chung Myung’s skills. And that meant, in other words, that the bishop was strong enough to draw out all of Chung Myung’s abilities and still withstand it.

But what caught Baek Cheon’s attention the most right now wasn’t Dan Jagang or Chung Myung, who were wielding amazing swordplay.

‘Jang Ilso….’

It wasn’t a question of who was greater.

However, Baek Cheon was quite taken aback. Jang Ilso, of all people, was in perfect harmony with Chung Myung, who rushed forward without even thinking about what to do next.

‘Does this even make sense?’

The person Baek Cheon knows named Jang Ilso is never the kind of person who will adjust his pace while giving the initiative to others. Wasn’t Jang Ilso the one who manipulates everything in the world to his will and used them as a tool?

Anyone who knows Jang Ilso will give the same answer. Even if anyone were to ask a random Evil Sects person, the answer wouldn’t change much.

However, Jang Ilso yields the initiative to Chung Myung without saying anything. And he’s concentrating on blocking Dan Jagang’s counterattacks that burst out at every moment and taking advantage of any openings.

It was unbelievable that this was a decision made by Paegun Jang Ilso.

But what was even more surprising was that their hands and feet were incredibly in sync. He even felt like the two were becoming more and more aligned as the battle lasted.

‘How is that even possible?’

Baek Cheon knows. Out of all of them, he had the most experience supporting that crazy guy. He knows better than anyone else how difficult it is to support Chung Myung.

If he were to express it visually, Chung Myung’s sword would be like an ever-changing divine dragon. In a crude way, it would be no different from an eel sprinkled with salt. It was impossible to predict what he would do next, and where he might suddenly leap to.

Even Baek Cheon, who was accustomed to Chung Myung’s sword, could only follow Chung Myung’s movements if his nerves were as sharpened like a razor. It was only after expending a terrible amount of mental strength.

But now, Jang Ilso, who is working with Chung Myung for the first time, is accomplishing that difficult task. It was as if they had practiced together countless times and had mastered combined attack (??(合擊)).

‘Damn him!’

Setting aside his personal feelings about Jang Ilso, there was no denying his remarkable ability.

Kwaaaaaang!

The moment Chung Myung shot forward, the bracelets from Jang Ilso’s hand were released with terrifying force. Ten streams of golden light limit the bishop’s range of movement and block his escape from Chung Myung’s sword.

It is a movement perfectly tailored to Chung Myung. At the same time, Jang Ilso followed right behind Chung Myung in preparation for any possible counterattack.

‘Both are out of their mind.’

Jang Ilso, who is the leader of Evil Tyrant Alliance that dominates half of Jungwon, but chooses to support Chung Myung at least for this moment, or Chung Myung, who casually entrusts his back to the villain of Evil Tyrant Alliance whom he hated so much. They were crazy people who did things that were unimaginable in the common way of thinking.

Yet, the absurd harmony of these madmen was now overwhelmingly driving back the terrifying bishop.

Eeudeuk.

Baek Cheon bit his lip without realizing it.

The situation itself is so great that he can’t help but wonder. But still, Baek Cheon couldn’t just look at it with good intentions.

This is because the position that Jang Ilso stands in was originally supposed to be filled by Mount Hua’s disciples.

‘We’re still lacking.’

Baek Cheon glared at Jang Ilso with menacing eyes.

‘Anyway… we have to win now!’

Whatever the method, it was important to be able to defeat the bishop and prevent the rise of Magyo.

He suddenly looked behind.

As a faint certainty about the outcome emerged, he finally had the leisure to look back. It was unclear how the cultists would come out the moment their bishop was killed by Chung Myung’s sword. So, it was necessary to check their movements in advance.

But Baek Cheon, who looked back at the cultists, froze on the spot.

‘What?’

It wasn’t because there was a noticeable reaction.

Rather, the fact that there was no noticeable reaction confused Baek Cheon. The cultists were lying prostrate on the spot, reciting mantras, looking no different from when the bishop first appeared.

Now that he thinks about it, that mantra that resonates like a song has never ceased until now.

Ever since the battle began, even after Dan Jagang began to show signs of being clearly pushed back.

Perhaps it’s simply an aspect of fanaticism. After all, faith does not does not consider circumstances. Since these people live with fanaticism to begin with, it is not surprising that they show unreasonable faith in their superiors.

But…

‘No. Something’s different!’

It seemed clear they knew something. They knew that this battle couldn’t possibly end this way.

‘Chung Myung!’

Baek Cheon’s eyes turned fiercely to the front.

Chung Myung was rushing toward Dan Jagang, shooting sword energy like lightning.

Kwagagak!

Chung Myung’s sword cut right next to Dan Jagang’s neck. Blood gushed out from the gruesomely split wound. The long robes that Dan Jagang was wearing were stained black with blood that had seeped out here and there.

Paaaaaat!

Chung Myung’s sword continued to attack Dan Jagang without even giving him a chance to catch his breath. He undergoes bizarre transformations, sometimes chases after him viciously, and sometimes makes crazy gambles.

And next to Chung Myung, behind him, and even above his head, Jang Ilso continuously poured out his energy. Sometimes, when an attack that seemed difficult for Chung Myung’s internal strength to handle came pouring in, he did not hesitate to rush in and block the attack.

‘This….’

A chilling energy flashed through Dan Jagang’s eyes.

Kuung!

Dan Jagang stared at Chung Myung’s sword flying above his head and stepped forward strongly. At the same time, huge demonic energy spread out from his body in all directions as if exploding.

Kwaaaaaaang!

Chung Myung’s body, caught in the aftermath, was thrown back like a leaf swept away by a typhoon. After flying backward for a while, Chung Myung spun around mid-air and managed to land crouching down.

“Huk! Huuk! Huk!”

As soon as he touched the ground, a rough breath poured out of Chung Myung’s mouth, as if he was throwing up his lungs. Not only his entire body but even his hair was wet from the sweat that had flowed down.

His breathing was restricted, he had been relentlessly unleashing a series of attacks. It had unavoidably devoured both his mental and physical strength.

However, Chung Myung’s eyes were as fiercely blue as before and were glaring at Dan Jagang, who had hidden behind the demonic energy.

After a while, as the demonic energy’s aftermath cleared and Dan Jagang appeared.

“Perhaps I have… I have underestimated you all too much.”

Wounded all over. That would be the first thought of anyone seeing Dan Jagang now.

But Chung Myung knows. Among the wounds on that body, there are very few that can truly be called fatal wounds. This is especially true considering that Dan Jagang has mastered Skeleton Demonic Art, which allows him to exhibit abnormal recovery abilities.

“But… I still don’t understand.”

Dan Jagang spoke quietly.

“Is it only this much?”

He stomped down on the ground.

“If Jungwon is only at this level… Why then was the cult defeated by you and driven to such barren lands?”

Numerous questions swirled through Dan Jagang’s mind.

How could Heavenly Demon be caught off guard by these people?

Of course, tigers sometimes die from poisonous snake bites. But could a tiger ever die from an ant bite? Are these people even more than ants?

“It can’t be just this, is it?”

As rage welled up, blood light shone from Dan Jagang’s eyes again.

“Tell me, martial artist of Jungwon. This isn’t everything of you. If so, then show me everything you’ve got. Otherwise…”

Dark demonic energy swirled around Dan Jagang’s body like a floating evil ghost. An enormous amount of pressure began to overwhelm everything around.

“You will die here!”

Kwaaaaaaang!

Dan Jagang charged forward with incredible speed.

It was an act closer to instant movement (??(縮地)) rather than rushing. As if the existing space had been forcibly twisted and pierced, Dan Jagang’s body arrived right in front of Chung Myung in an instant. Perhaps “appeared” would be a more fitting description.

Chung Myung’s eyes widened greatly.

At that moment, Dan Jagang’s hand mercilessly dug into Chung Myung’s side.

Chung Myung managed to raise his sword in an instant to block the incoming hand. However, the force Dan Jagang wielded completely struck Chung Myung in the side, along with the blocked sword.

Kwaaaaaaaaaang!

Eudeudeuk!

A bone-crushing sound mixed with the explosion of clashing energies. Chung Myung’s body bounced and flew away like a pebble kicked with full strength.

Kwang!

Dan Jagang kicked the ground and pursued Chung Myung at an incredible speed. Dan Jagang caught up in an instant and raised one of his hands toward the sky.

The dark currents emanating from his entire body swirled up around him, and soon converged at his fingertips.

At first, the demonic energy was as big as a human head, but it quickly grew larger than a house. The darkness was so intense it seemed like it could suck everything in, resembling a blazing black sun.

The moment Dan Jagang was about to swing his hand down, a flurry of energy in the form of bright blue flames poured urgently into his face. Each one possessed enough force to break through even the reinforced energy.

However, Dan Jagang slammed his hand down without any hesitation.

“Oooooh!”

The blazing black sun engulfed and crushed the blue flames.

The demonic energy, which had blown away all the obstacles, swallowed Chung Myung’s body as it flew through the air.

Kwaaaaaang!

The black sun scorched the earth, shaking the entire world. The prostrating cultists were also unable to overcome the aftermath of the huge explosion and were thrown back and forth.

“Chung….”

Baek Cheon’s eyes widened as if they were torn apart.

“Chung Myuuuuung!”

His desperate scream was completely drowned out by the successive booms of the explosion.
