Myst, Might, Mayhem

Chapter 415 – Battle of Numbers (3) -Pa-pa-pa-pa-pak!

-Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-chang!

Ou Cheon-mu, one of the Seven Heavens and the master of Spiritual Sword Sanctuary, inwardly stuck out his tongue.

Although he had been cautious from the start due to her extraordinary aura, he had never experienced such a technique in his entire life.

Chunchu of the First Realm appropriately mixed swift palm techniques with claw techniques, but that wasn’t all.

She used a strange technique, which was, -Kwang!

Instead of her palm force forming a strong energy, it caused invisible explosions.

The energy compressed in the air and then exploded, and the condensed energy was so strong that before he could grasp it, his left shoulder was hit, and he almost lost his arm.

-Chwak!

In response, Ou Cheon-mu split the area with his sword energy whenever he saw signs of energy concentrating.

This way, the palm force would be cut before it could condense, significantly reducing the explosive power.

-Pa-pa-pa-pak!

Cha-cha-chang!

Chunchu lightly blocked Ou Cheon-mu’s sword and opened her mouth.

“Not bad, old man.

To adapt to the Hidden Shadow Explosive Palm so quickly.

” “Hidden Shadow Explosive Palm?

A fitting name.

” It was a bizarre technique that would have been difficult to counter if he hadn’t reached the Profound Realm, considered supreme in handling energy.

Her technique was suitable for indiscriminate slaughter.

“I heard rumors that among the Seven Heavens, you have the least actual combat experience and only adopted others’ sword techniques, strong in theory but lacking in skill.

” “I won’t deny it.

” Though she said it to provoke him, Ou Cheon-mu calmly accepted it.

‘It’s not working.

’ Chunchu licked her lips.

She might not know, but Ou Cheon-mu, who had decided to serve Mok Gyeong-un as his lord, had quite a few practice matches that were close to real combat on his way here.

This was for Mok Gyeong-un to adapt to his rapidly increasing martial prowess in a short period, but Ou Cheon-mu also significantly increased his combat experience by competing with masters of the Life and Death Realm.

-Cha-cha-cha-cha-chang!

‘Not being flustered even by the Hidden Shadow Explosive Palm, as expected of the pinnacle of the current martial arts world.

’ Chunchu, who had been inwardly sticking out her tongue, soon grinned and unleashed her secret technique.

As she took a stance to strike down with her palm from above, ‘Hidden Shadow Overlapping Strike!

’ -Goooooo!

‘Above?

’ Ou Cheon-mu tried to cut the energy gathering above with his sword energy.

But that wasn’t all.

He felt another energy gathering above the energy, and it wasn’t just one or two.

Even just the energy he could feel was three, no, four, no, even more than that.

Which means, ‘Is she overlapping invisible energy?

’ It seemed that even condensing it once would require considerable concentration, but overlapping it repeatedly could probably be called a secret technique.

In response, Ou Cheon-mu made a gesture of pulling with his left hand’s sword finger while swinging his sword energy.

Then, four swords flew up from the ground and created strong energy.

It was the Sword Energy Controlled by Qi.

-Woooong!

Ou Cheon-mu rotated his left hand holding the sword finger widely in that state.

Then, the four Sword Energy Controlled by Qi rotated like windmills, creating a shield made of strong energy.

Simultaneously, -Kwang!

Kwang!

Kwang!

The condensed energies exploded above the shield.

‘Tsk.

’ As tremendous explosions occurred one after another, Ou Cheon-mu inwardly clicked his tongue.

On the surface, she looked like a peerlessly beautiful woman in her early twenties.

However, it was no exaggeration to say that the power she possessed was on par with the Seven Heavens, considered the pinnacle of the current martial arts world.

How could such a monster appear in the martial arts world without anyone knowing?

-Kwang!

Kwang!

Kwang!

-Jeo-jeo-jeo-jeok!

Pa-chang-chang-chang!

The continuing explosions overlapped, increasing their power.

As a result, three out of the four swords that had been rotating like windmills to block the explosions with Sword Energy Controlled by Qi couldn’t withstand the force and shattered in an instant.

-Flinch!

‘Not yet?

’ The energy was overlapping one more time.

It was the seventh time, and he couldn’t even imagine how strong the explosive power would be when all of this condensed.

However, Ou Cheon-mu calmly, -Chwa-reuk!

Added energy to the fragments of the broken sword hilts and added them to the rotation of the remaining Sword Energy Controlled by Qi.

The rotation of the Sword Energy Controlled by Qi, now with added metal fragments imbued with strong energy, became even more dense and intricate.

-Kwa-ang!

As the explosion burst, the remaining Sword Energy Controlled by Qi tried to block the force of the explosion but eventually couldn’t withstand the heat and shattered, even vaporizing into smoke.

‘If I’m going to strike at a weak point, it’s now.

’ In that instant, Ou Cheon-mu threw his body towards the subsiding explosion.

Thus, Ou Cheon-mu, who had become a sword himself with the subtleties of the Extreme Sword, split the explosion and broke through it.

-Chwak!

Seeing Ou Cheon-mu emerge after breaking through the overlapped explosions, Chunchu of the First Realm hurriedly threw her body backward while unleashing palm force.

-Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pak!

However, Ou Cheon-mu’s figure, having gained momentum, was truly unstoppable.

Ou Cheon-mu’s sword finger, which had split the palm forces in an instant, aimed for the center of her chest.

In response, she stretched out her hand to block Ou Cheon-mu’s sword finger.

-Puk!

Ou Cheon-mu’s sharp sword finger pierced through Chunchu’s hand, but she also put all her strength into it, planting both feet firmly on the ground, so, -Pa-a-a-a-ang!

Ou Cheon-mu’s exquisite single strike couldn’t reach her chest.

However, due to the impact of the two supreme experts colliding, the surrounding area was almost devastated by the wind pressure of energy.

‘This woman is really strong.

’ Ou Cheon-mu had gained many insights that had been blocked while competing with Mok Gyeong-un.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t find a decisive gap.

It was a strength that could only be admired.

This was the same for Chunchu of the First Realm.

[Don’t underestimate humans.

] She stuck out her tongue, remembering the warning given by Kang Yeom, who was also of the First Realm.

Although they had reached the pinnacle of martial artists, she thought they would inevitably be lacking compared to beings like herself who had lived for a long time.

However, after competing like this, her thoughts changed.

Seeing beings who couldn’t even live a hundred years become this strong, the potential of humans was beyond that of the Two Eyebrows and Four Eyes beings.

-Pa-reu-reu-reu!

The two, having entered a contest of internal energy, maintained that state and exerted force towards each other.

Whoever yielded here would suffer a fatal injury.

But then, the corner of Ou Cheon-mu’s mouth rose.

Puzzled by this, Chunchu asked.

“Why are you smiling?

” “It seems the lords we each serve are about to be decided.

” “Decided?

” At this, she looked up.

In the air, she could see Mok Gyeong-un biting and tearing at Three Eyes (Three Eyes)’s throat, just as they were facing off.

‘Biting the throat?

’ Chunchu was dumbfounded at the sight.

How could he think of biting his opponent’s throat in that situation?

Although she didn’t fully understand humans despite observing them for a long time, they were beings who mainly used their hands and maintained a certain level of dignity, unlike the Two Eyebrows and Four Eyes beings or beasts.

Therefore, even in a life-or-death battle, they didn’t fight like beasts in that way, but the sight of biting off the Mok-gan’s throat was like that of a ferocious beast.

She became flushed, as if excited, at the sight of him biting off the Adam’s apple and then chewing it.

Ou Cheon-mu frowned at this sight.

“I can’t understand how you can be like that when your master is being defeated.

” “Defeated?

” “The match is decided.

” With his throat’s Adam’s apple torn off, he was as good as dead.

However, at Ou Cheon-mu’s words that the match was decided, Chunchu instead sneered as if it was absurd and said.

“That might be true for an ordinary human.

” At her meaningful words, Ou Cheon-mu felt an ominous feeling.

It was at that very moment.

Three Eyes, who had possessed Na Yul-ryang’s body whose throat’s Adam’s apple had been torn off, instead of suffering in that state, broke Mok Gyeong-un’s wrist that was holding him with a smiling face.

-Wudeuk!

Mok Gyeong-un’s broken wrist bone soon pierced through the flesh and protruded outwards.

‘What?

’ Ou Cheon-mu’s eyes widened at this sight.

With his throat’s Adam’s apple torn off, there should have been no possibility of survival, yet he was smiling and acting like that in that situation.

It could be called madness no less than Mok Gyeong-un’s ferocity.

But then, Mok Gyeong-un, with his wrist broken, headbutted Three Eyes’s forehead in that state.

Three Eyes, who tried to avoid his third eye being hit as much as possible, threw his head back with all his might, but because their bodies were fixed in that situation, -Kwang!

Three Eyes’s left eye socket was crushed, and his eyeball was smashed.

This time, unable to withstand the pain, Three Eyes tried to separate his body by removing the sword that was pressed against Mok Gyeong-un.

However, there was no way Mok Gyeong-un would let him go.

With his left arm, whose wrist bone was protruding and seemed impossible to grip properly, he grabbed Three Eyes’s wrist and let go of the demonic sword Evil Commandment Sword, aiming for the third eye on his forehead.

-Shuk!

As Mok Gyeong-un’s sword finger aimed, suddenly a bright light poured out from Three Eyes’s third eye.

The immense light that suddenly poured out was so bright that it was radiance itself, causing Mok Gyeong-un to close his eyes due to the burning pain.

-Chi-i-ik!

-Pa-pa-pa-pa-pak!

In that instant, Three Eyes repeatedly kicked Mok Gyeong-un and finally managed to create distance.

The eye on his forehead that had emitted radiance suddenly became dull, and the color of its pupil lost its light like the eyes of a dead person.

-Chwa-reu-reuk!

However, thanks to creating distance, Three Eyes, who could circulate demonic energy, rapidly began to recover his torn Adam’s apple, the broken bones around his left eye socket, and his left eyeball.

He could fully recover this in less than ten counts… -Chwak!

At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un’s Evil Commandment Sword flew towards his shoulder and dug in.

It was Sword Energy Controlled by Qi, dyed with black strong energy.

With his only open right eye with its golden pupil, he could see Mok Gyeong-un extending his sword finger towards him with his eyes closed.

‘Huh?

’ The massive amount of light emitted all at once from the third eye’s demonic power would have caused his corneas to burn and be damaged.

When one of the five senses suddenly disappears, the other senses are also affected and become unstable.

But he revived those other senses in an instant?

This guy really isn’t human-like.

‘Damn it.

’ Partly because of the connection of spirit servant with Ryu So-wol, he had been avoiding inflicting fatal injuries, and also because this new body couldn’t fully exert his power yet, but it had been a very long time since an opponent had pushed him this far.

Then a voice echoed in his head.

-There’s a better way than cutting the connection.

-A better way?

-Yes.

Let’s take over his body.

-His body?

At this thought, Three Eyes’s eyes, except for the eye on his forehead, narrowed.

Come to think of it, there was no need to cut the connection.

This guy possessed a body far superior to Na Yul-ryang’s.

He had been angry, thinking that this guy had interfered with his grand plan and blocked his connection, but thinking about it coldly, it might have turned out well.

‘For So-wol, whose resentment was strong enough to become a spirit servant, to become his spirit servant, she must have trusted him considerably.

’ If he could take over such a guy’s body… Soon, the corners of Three Eyes’s mouth rose slyly.

He had quickly come to a conclusion.

But at that very moment, -Seu-reu-reu-reuk!

As Mok Gyeong-un repeatedly stepped on the air, his figure suddenly began to split into three with the wind.

Seeing this sight, Three Eyes frowned.

‘Is this possibly?

’ He had numerous memories.

Among them were a few memories of those who had troubled him when he thought he had become absolute.

This body-splitting technique that Mok Gyeong-un was displaying was one of them.

Although it didn’t seem perfect, this body-splitting technique was clearly the secret technique of the vanished Matchless City.

But that wasn’t the end.

-Wu-deuk!

Wu-deuk!

As the three split Mok Gyeong-uns regulated their breathing, the surrounding energy gathered and circulated throughout their bodies, then their muscles swelled up more firmly, their bodies turned red, and steam flowed out.

-Shu-u-u-u-u!

Seeing this, Three Eyes was reminded of that monstrous clan guarding the Tang family and the Forbidden Land.

What exactly is this guy?

How is he simultaneously mastering the secret techniques of the few beings that had troubled him over his long years?
