Chapter 462 - On the Verge of Life and Death (2)
Honestly, he didn’t expect to meet this man so quickly.
‘I don’t feel anything from him,’
The man’s energy felt the same as the surrounding nature’s.
However, the strength exuded from his face told him that he was different from those whom Chun Yeowun had met before.
The Blade Lord was strong.
And the God of the East, Ark Wui, too, would give out a scent of profound martial artists.
However, from the man in front of him, something felt amiss.
‘He doesn’t seem to have any emotions.’
It was almost correct based on the man’s expression.
Even animals have emotions, but this person didn’t seem to have any.
The Blade God.
‘The legendary assassin.’
Several stories were attached to his brief appearance in Wulin.
A person who came and competed with the legendary swordsman, the Sword Demon.
For the first time since Chun Ma, the title of the best martial artist had changed.
And,
‘He’s from the future.’
If Chun Yeowun’s guess was correct, this person reversed time.
Amidst the tension, the Blade God opened his mouth.
“Excuse me for a second.”
“?”
Kwang!
The Blade God stepped forward and slightly leaned into the ground.
The ground shook as if there was an earthquake, and in an instant, a hole with a three feet radius formed around his foot.
Thud!
“Phew.”
The Blade God exhaled.
He was wondering what the man was doing until he felt a familiar energy from the ground.
‘This?’
It was the power of the Void Fist.
The Blade God scanned the ground and spoke.
“I tried dispersing it in my body, but man, it’s such an annoying power. That was the first time I met someone who reached that level with pure internal energy.”
With those words, he glanced at Ark Wui, who was behind him.
Energy spread through the floor, and despite the intense vibrations, he stood upright.
Like a deep-rooted old tree.
He shook his head at the sight.
“It was the first time since your founder that I met someone with such ruthless and strong pride. I liked that.”
He spoke as if he knew Chun Ma.
An ancestor of the distant past, more than eight hundred years ago.
‘This guy...’
There was something more unpleasant than curiosity.
The first true warrior that Chun Yeowun had acknowledged was Ark Wui.
“... you don’t seem like someone who liked that.”
Contrary to the man’s praise, there was no emotion in his voice.
When he heard that, Chun Yeowun felt like snapping at him.
“I’m sorry that you feel that way. I can understand your emotions. Having lived for so many years, I have become emotionally numb.”
historical
With those words, the Blade God turned around, raised his head, and looked at the cloudy sky.
Swoosh!
Dark sky and rain coming down.
‘No?’
But Chun Yeowun hadn’t realized it. The raindrops didn’t touch the Blade God’s body.
The raindrops flowed down so naturally on everything else that he hadn’t noticed it until then.
‘He isn’t repulsing it.’
The raindrops bounced off.
This man used internal energy so naturally as if breathing.
Like an old man who was looking for his death, the Blade God, who was looking at the sky, slowly turned his head and then turned to Chun Yeowun.
“Time is indeed a strange thing. In ten years, rivers and mountains will change. But that isn’t everything. Even emotions change.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“It seems like our positions have changed. Colorful. Because you are a Demon God with human emotions... at that time, you were literally a Demon God, no you were a perfect God.”
Chun Yeowun frowned.
He had no idea what the man was talking about.
But hearing what he was saying, it was as if the man knew Chun Yeowun long ago.
The Blade God was from the far future and went back to the distant past.
He had no connections to the Blade God.
“From the beginning, you acted like you knew me, but this is the first time I’ve met you.”
Despite Chun Yeowun’s words, the Blade God continued.
“I always wondered what it would be like to stand on the same line as you, who was perfect in every sense. I wanted to know for sure.”
“?”
“It might be ridiculous to say it like that. Just because a fly flies in front of my eyes doesn’t mean that I feel ill about it. It’s just an annoying thing.”
“What?”
“You will feel the same way I’m feeling now.”
Shhh!
As soon as his words were finished, the Blade God, who had been far, approached him suddenly.
It was completely different from the light footwork that the others used.
It was as if the man was jumping through space.
‘Just when?’
The Blade God, who came closer, kicked him.
Swoosh!
It looked like a light swing, but a feeling of weight resonated through the air as the kick came for him.
Chun Yeowun quickly raised his left arm and blocked it.
Kwang!
“Kuk!”
The moment he stopped the kick, he flew backwards and bounced on the ground.
Yet, he barely managed to block it.
Chiik!
‘What unbelievable power.’
Even though he had the Nano Suit on, the destructive power still hurt his hand, causing his entire body to tremble and scream in pain.
“Pretty good. I kicked you intending to break your arm.”
‘!?’
Swoosh!
The Blade God, who somehow managed to get behind Chun Yeowun, kicked and hit him.
Chun Yeowun hastily crossed his arms by bringing out internal energy.
Kwak!
Tremendous destructive power.
Twice, no, he was kicked three times, and all three kicks held the same power.
Chun Yeowun tried to defend himself, thinking that the intensity of the kick would reduce.
Thud!
It was then, his body reached the ground as his knee fell to the ground.
‘Like this, my power will drain...’
Kwakwakwang!
The ground, which had already dug in with Chun Yeowun’s ankles sunk deep, kept moving further down.
Drip!
As he suffered an internal injury, blood flowed out of Chun Yeowun’s mouth.
The Nano Suit helped absorb the blows, but it looked like the suit cracked.
Shhh!
[The bones in both wrists are cracked. I will go into self-repair.]
However, due to the cores and Nano’s power, the cracks were restored quickly.
The Blade God’s eyes changed.
It wasn’t because Chun Yeowun had blocked his attacks twice in a row.
“The armor isn’t breaking?”
What puzzles him was that the Nano Suit didn’t break even under the attacks.
Normally, even armor made of cold steel would break.
“Isn’t that a plain armor? No. The technology from the future...”
Wheeing!
At that moment, scorching heat rose from Chun Yeowun’s hand.
The black flame soon took the shape of a sword.
The opponent in front of him wasn’t at a level where he could spend time thinking and countering.
This man was the strongest enemy Chun Yeowun had ever met.
“Oh ho. Black flame? Dealing with different energies at the same time is surely interesting, which I haven’t tried before.”
Not a single sign of nervousness.
Although he called it interesting, the man’s eyes were as emotionless as ever.
Chun Yeowun frowned and answered.
“Experience it for yourself whether it’s interesting or not.”
As soon as those words finished, the invisible black flame sword began to draw a trajectory of flames.
Whoo!
It was the first formation of the Sword Art of the Demon God, Sword Dance of the Mysterious Wave.
The swordsmanship was in the form of a raging wave as if it would swallow the sun itself.
In an instant, 24 trajectories were drawn as the black flame sword went for the Blade God.
‘!?’
Chun Yeowun’s eyes fluttered.
Contrary to his expectation that the Blade God would also unfold an invisible sword, the man lightly handled the internal energy and blocked Chun Yeowun’s sword.
Wheeing!
Of course, that didn’t stop the attack.
As the sword kept changing its trajectory, the Blade God knew that it couldn’t be stopped, so he moved back.
Tatatk!
“The Blade Lord coming here was a good thing. Are you mixing the Extreme Art of the Blade God with the Sword Force of the Sky Demon?”
The way he spoke, it was as if the man watched his fight against the Blade Lord.
Chun Yeowun didn’t care about the Blade God’s words and concentrated on the battle.
Wheeing! Chachacha!
At the near-perfect attack, the Blade God’s lips trembled.
For the first time, he seemed to be interested in swordsmanship, which exceeded his expectations.
Swoosh!
The second half, which made the sword aim for blood, the Blade God reached out his left hand, which he hadn’t used, and decided to block the attack.
Chachachang!
Shockingly, he opened up another barrier with his left hand and completely blocked the sword.
The Blade God spoke as he watched the black haze rise from the sword, which was being blocked by his left hand.
“You certainly didn’t disappoint me. You made me use both hands.”
Pak!
As soon as he finished saying those words, the Blade God’s sword cut straight through the air.
‘Invisible sword?’
With the sudden rise in energy, Chun Yeowun applied more internal energy into his invisible sword made of black flames and held it like a shield.
Chaa!
“Kuak!”
Tatatat!
Chun Yeowun got pushed away by the strong attack.
As he continued to be pushed more than 20 steps away, a crack occurred in the invisible sword made of black flames, which was being used as a shield.
‘Shit!’
In the end, he couldn’t stand the power of the Blade God.
It was an unbelievable power that surpassed the mix of different styles.
Whoo! Crack!
The invisible sword made of black flames, which was cracking, finally broke, and the Blade God’s invisible sword tried to rip through Chun Yeowun’s stomach.
Slash!
A screeching sound came from the Nano Suit as the blade slashed it.
That was when an amazing thing happened.
Tring!
[Gatelinium Nano suit durability has been damaged by 9%]
The Nano Suit, which was made from the strongest material, was cracked.
Although it wasn’t completely split open, the energy on the sword of the Blade God had penetrated into his stomach through the cracks in the suit.
Chacha!
As the attack didn’t stop and the energy seeped into his body, his intestines were ripped.
“Kuaaak!”
Chun Yeowun screamed as his blood began to flow out of his mouth.
It was the first time that he suffered such severe internal injuries.
“Cough.... Cough...”
The cores’ power and Nano’s self-heal quickly restored the torn organs, but it was painful because he couldn’t release the seeped-in energy of the Blade God from his body.
‘This blade energy needs to be released...’
Chun Yeowun, who barely stopped the attack, concentrated on the energy in his body.
In order to discharge the blade energy that was tearing his organs, his remaining amount of internal energy had to be consumed.
“Kuuk!”
He had to overcome the pain.
Walking leisurely towards Chun Yeowun, the Blade God said.
“Now is the time when I can’t afford to slow down.”
Chun Yeowun’s eyes trembled as he understood the full meaning behind the man who understood his condition’s words.
