The World of Sound - Chapter 113
Only Krnovel
“I’ll leave those guys to you. Subdue them.”
Although it was Cheonhwa who jumped out first and kept a long distance, the words he whispered felt close, as if he was speaking right up close.
Even though it was just words, the direction and target were clearly felt.
Bukgungyeon and Muoh were a beat behind as they answered and stretched out, but even they couldn’t keep up with them.
“yes.”
Tsk tsk tsk!!!
The moment the men who discovered Cheonhwa too late tried to chase after him, Bukgungyeon, who had absentmindedly pulled out the Ice Spirit, swung his sword.
The ice spirits sprayed along the tip of the sword, stopping them and freezing them.
Not only my ankles, but my thighs were covered in ice, and I couldn’t even muster up my internal energy to break it, so I started to panic and panic.
It wasn’t that I didn’t have enough energy to break the ice that was imprisoning my lower body, but rather that I felt like if I swung my internal energy wrong, not just the ice, but my legs would be shattered.
This is because the Ice Spirit, which has already penetrated into the veins of the Semei, has frozen all the veins that can turn the internal energy around.
They were rendered incapacitated in an instant, but they were better off.
Because the other comrades who couldn’t freeze were turned into blood cakes and were flying through the air.
“Noooo!!”
Kwaang!!!
The destructive charge of Mu-o was so powerful that even the most advanced masters had difficulty stopping it.
Because the head and body of the infinitely strong Mu-o, like an iron ingot that has reached the level of a red-blooded being, have the power to even break and scatter black energy.
Thanks to this, everyone in the guy’s direct line flew through the air equally, whether they swung their swords or not.
He vomited blood and lost his mind as he realized that his body, which he had trained for at least a dozen years, was this light and fragile.
“Muhihihi!”
Plop! Plop! Plop-!
However, it wasn’t just those at the front who got hurt.
They could at least make up an excuse that they were ambushed, but the ones around them were kicked by Mu-oh, who swung his body around like a martial arts master after charging in, and ended up getting beaten to pieces.
Even that was only because Moo-oh had to control his strength because Cheon-hwa had told him to subdue them. If he had wanted to, he would have sent them to the afterlife one by one.
Thanks to that, the suspicious people were quickly dealt with, but Cheonhwa’s expression as he struck out did not show any sign of loosening.
It is unknown what their true identity is, but touching the veins would be an extremely dangerous and devious idea.
It could have turned the area into a dead land, and could have even been the trigger for a disaster that could be close to a catastrophe.
‘Is it towards the cave?’
That is why he ordered them to be subdued without even confirming their identities, and he also ran towards the place where he believed to be the enemy leader.
By coincidence, it was the cave he had come out of after completing his last closed-door training.
It was once a cave where the master had blocked the entrance with a huge rock, but when he finished closing it, he broke it and came out, so the entrance should have been open.
“dissonance.”
But now it was blocked again.
Rather than a physical seal, entry is restricted by some kind of magic.
Therefore, if you rashly step in, you will get caught up in the formation and suffer or even die, and if you try to dismantle it, it is so complicated that it will take quite a while, but Cheonhwa easily solved it.
Just as he cut and unraveled a tangled thread with a knife, he played discordant notes on the iron lute and instantly cut off all energy from the formation.
It was natural that the energy formed by the formation could not be used properly because it was broken and scattered.
As Cheonhwa trampled the disarmed formation, he jumped into the cave, and because the formation was dismantled, he began to sense several large energies that had been hidden.
‘What is this…?’
There are four super-climaxes, and about ten at the peak level.
Although the cave was deep enough for Cheonhwa to practice closed-door training for quite some time, there were still a large number of unmanned personnel stationed inside.
It’s not just about numbers.
Even if it was up to the peak level, the four top-tier masters were comparable to the power of the Daemun sect, so the wounds engraved on Cheonhwa’s army deepened even further.
‘Isn’t that normal?’
Their power itself was amazing, but the nature of the aura they emanated felt very foreign.
‘I guess I need to check.’
Dealing with them is easy.
By utilizing the characteristics of the blood vessels that allow them to amplify sound and waves even more, it would be possible to take down the guys inside without having to face them.
Because this place was a very familiar space to Cheonhwa.
Each and every detailed structure was engraved in his head, and even if they had destroyed or altered the inside, he would be able to figure out all that information by just playing a few notes.
But Cheonhwa didn’t do that.
Because before I destroy them, there’s something I want to see with my own eyes.
Three of the top tier masters.
The energy he felt from them was strange yet familiar, and it piqued his curiosity.
Slurp-
The moment I made up my mind, Cheonhwa ceased to exist.
He had a metal plate on the back of his shoes that would make more noise than necessary when he walked, but once he made up his mind, not even the slightest sound or movement was made.
Even if you walk with your heels up, it is okay, but because the sound is controlled by the secret of the Cheon-eum Shingong, even if you apply strength to your heels and unfold the method, the sound does not escape.
So, as he infiltrated like a water sparrow, the people he had sensed appeared.
‘It’s them.’
They were working on some task, unaware that the entrance was open and that Heavenly Fire was approaching.
It was a type of magic or sorcery, and they were using something like steel wedges to drive them into the bottom of the cave according to certain rules, and they were performing a special technique with top-level martial artists attached to them.
‘I guess it’s Dragon’s Blood.’
Thus, as Cheonho had expected, the enormous power of the veins was being forcibly extracted.
The power was truly enormous.
The reason for doing business here was to avoid people’s attention, but it also seemed to be because there was a point called Yonghyeol, where a vein of water flowed and pooled.
‘You’re crazy.’
It’s dangerous to touch a normal vein, but touching a dragon’s vein?
It could be said to be truly crazy.
I don’t know what they’ve prepared, but if there’s even a slight miscalculation, if I lose control for even a moment, the energy of the dragon vein will run wild and blow up the entire area.
If that were to happen, it would have to be at least as powerful as Hwagyeong to be able to withstand it.
But they did it.
Not only was it done, it was completed with great success.
Just by looking at the dry energy of the veins as I came here, and just by hearing the screams of the nature spirits, I could tell that they had succeeded in draining the energy of the Dragon’s Blood almost to the point of emptying it.
‘That’s even crazier.’
So where is the result?
If other people had seen it, they would have tilted their heads in puzzlement.
If their goal was simply to weaken the veins and the energy of the dragon’s blood, they could have simply driven in a steel wedge with some special magic engraved on it and cut the veins off.
But if you’re not doing that and you’re doing something more dangerous, there has to be some kind of result, but there doesn’t seem to be anything that can contain that vast energy.
‘Using humans like tools.’
But Cheonhwa saw it clearly.
Where is that huge energy concentrated?
Four supreme masters.
A very pure natural spirit is felt in the bodies of three of them.
Also, it felt strangely incongruous that it was so pure.
‘If you do that, you won’t be making a master, you’ll just end up a loser.’
This is something that would be impossible for a normal unmanned vehicle.
Depending on the internal energy method you have learned, you will have certain characteristics, and depending on those characteristics, you will have your own flow and wavelength.
But I could hardly feel anything like that from them.
It may be possible to receive that much energy because of the internal energy method, but it was not created properly.
You can’t become an expert like that.
Even if you can accumulate a lot of internal energy within your body, it would be difficult to express it.
That’s why it was so pure and yet so unstable.
Their condition seemed so unstable that they could explode and die if you provoke them so much that the expressions that matched each other were appropriate.
‘Are you trying to use the absorption method?’
However, it would be understandable if their purpose was something other than unmanned.
If the intention was simply to trap a giant natural guardian and have others eat it, then it would be a different story.
If the method was to use it as a tool, whether it was an absorption technique like the Absorption Method or to take it by linking the inner energy like a spirit, then I could understand the existence of those strong but useless things.
That’s why Cheonhwa’s eyes became cold.
Because using people as tools and forcibly taking nature’s will were things that only those evil cult bastards would do.
‘I don’t even know if it’s really a demonic cult.’
That’s why Cheonhwa also guessed that the bastards were a demonic cult.
Whether they are a member of the Jeongpa or the Sapa faction, if it is discovered that they have done such a thing, they will be criticized for their publicity in the martial arts world, so they will have nothing to say.
‘You’ll know if you catch it and try it.’
However, Cheonhwa stepped forward in front of them, emptying his head so as not to have any prejudices.
“What are you guys doing?”
“?!”
“What kind of guy is this!!”
“How did you get in here? It’s strange. The formation is still the same.”
If you wanted to handle it simply, it would have been better to launch a surprise attack while hiding.
However, this time, that wasn’t possible.
Because the work they are doing is extremely dangerous and precarious, if they give the wrong shock, the dragon vein could run wild and explode later.
As Cheonhwa deliberately made a noise, the guys finally became aware of his presence.
The look of confusion was evident, and what was even more disconcerting was that the formation spread out at the entrance to the cave was still intact.
This was because Cheonhwa had momentarily scattered the energy forming the formation and entered, and when he entered, the scattered energy reconnected and the formation was regenerated.
But because they didn’t know the inside story, they couldn’t do anything to Cheonhwa.
If they knew the origin of Jinbeop, they thought that he might have been sent by the group they belonged to.
“This is your first and last warning. Turn everything back immediately.”
However, from Cheonhwa’s words that followed, he realized that they were not his allies.
If he was an ally, he wouldn’t have said something like that.
“What a cheeky kid.”
“Wait a minute. You’re not planning on getting into trouble here, are you?”
“Inspiration. Don’t worry. Dealing with one of those guys is easy… … .”
“Are you kidding me? If you get even a little bit shocked by Yong-hyeol, it’s all over!”
As soon as the identification was made, the only truly unmanned, super expert, stepped forward.
He had only revealed his presence, not his inner strength or prayers, so he looked down on Cheonhwa and was about to step forward, thinking that he could easily deal with it, but he frowned at the old man who had been controlling the situation.
Although he was the strongest here, it seemed that the older man had a higher status.
“Come out, little one. I don’t know how you got in here, but I’m going to make you regret it.”
In the end, it was the super high-level master who gave in.
Even if we consider that Cheonhwa did not launch a surprise attack, and that he threatened to turn everyone back, it seems that he knew what was happening here and what kind of disaster would occur if they fought here, so he took the lead and escaped the cave.
Of course, he was the only one who took the lead, but he placed other top-level masters waiting nearby behind Cheonhwa to prevent him from sneaking in.
The remaining three super-high-level masters, who were nothing more than shells, remained inside the cave without saying or doing anything, only secretly revealing their threatening aura.
‘It doesn’t matter. There’s no other way to escape.’
But Cheonhwa didn’t care.
If there were another passage inside, he might have been worried that the old man might have taken them and escaped, but as far as he knew, that wasn’t the case and that it couldn’t have been done.
So I followed the bastard’s back and followed him out of the cave easily, and even passed the formation at the entrance.
Since it was only meant to block external intrusion, there was no need to look for a way out.
“… … !!”
At that moment, Cheonhwa sensed a massive amount of energy rushing towards her.
It’s not the front.
If it was a surprise attack by a top-notch expert who was watching Cheonhwa closely and telling him to follow him, I would have predicted it.
But what he did not anticipate, or rather what he could not hide his bewilderment despite having predicted it to some extent, was the unstable power bubbling inside the top-class unmanned beings rushing in from behind.
“crazy……!”
Cheonhwa turned around quickly, but couldn’t do anything.
Not because it was late, but because it was useless.
Because the moment I touched it, the moment I gave it impact, I could predict how the power boiling inside it would work.
Kwakwakwakwang!!!
The body of the master of the highest level who was rushing towards Cheonhwa turned into a giant gunpowder keg.
He unleashed all his internal energy and vitality at once, creating a huge explosion that burned himself.
Self-destruction.
A suicidal attack that extracted all of the internal energy and innate energy and exploded it struck Cheonhwa.
