Chapter 193
Baek Mu-Gun smiled bitterly upon seeing Peng Mu-Hwe and Huangfu Chong still alive, albeit not in good condition.
It seems I arrived a little late.
No. Thank you for coming.
Mu-Hwe and Huangfu Chong knew that they would have died if not for Mu-Gun. It would have been great if Mu-Gun had come a little faster, but they could not really blame him for it. After making sure that the two Saints survived, Mu-Gun turned to Gu Pae-Cheon and Hyeok Ryeon-Pae.
I did not expect another Divine Demon to be here.
The energy of the two demonic practitioners was all Mu-Gun needed to know that they were both Divine Demons.
You should not have come here, bastard, Pae-Cheon said.
It seems like you thought that it would be possible to take me down with one more Divine Demon joining the fight, Mu-Gun said indifferently.
Well, we may fail to defeat you if the Thunder God manifests within you, but that will also put your life at risk. You would likely have trouble blocking even just a third-rate martial artists attacks once the Thunder Gods Descent is over.
Who knows? I probably wont even need it to kill you, Mu-Gun provoked.
You better hold on to your words until the end, Pae-Cheon smiled, then looked at Ryeon-Pae.
Meeting his gaze, Ryeon-Pae nodded and took the initiative. He charged toward Mu-Gun as he used the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star. Dark red flames enveloped him and formed huge horns on his temples, making him look like a demon from hell. Borrowing the authority of the Demon God, he had covered himself with an impenetrable protective vajra qi that not even the Thunder Gods martial arts could break.
Having unleashed the strongest technique in his arsenal, Ryeon-Pae rushed toward Mu-Gun without fear.
Having no intention of just standing around and watching, Pae-Cheon prepared to use the Black Tyrannical Demonic Dragon, his strongest technique. It borrowed the authority of the Demon God to summon a black demonic dragon that had black lightning essence, granting it enough power to destroy anything. As Ryeon-Pae blocked Mu-Guns attacks with the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star, Pae-Cheon would attack and defeat him with his ultimate technique. Their plan was beyond simple, but it was the most perfect for their transcendental demonic arts.
Fortunately, Mu-Gun knew the martial arts that the Nine Celestial Demons Sects Nine Great Demon Kings possessed. Otherwise, their plan could have worked on him.
Mu-Gun no longer bothered clashing with Ryeon-Pae, who charged at him first, since he wouldnt be able to break through his defenses anyway. Instead, he executed the Thunder God's Aerial Steps and soared into the air.
Ryeon-Pae fired inferno flames at Mu-Gun. In response, Mu-Gun spread waves of golden lightning and skipped around in mid-air, leaving Ryeon-Paes attacks in the dust. With his movements turning him into a difficult target, Pae-Cheon was forced to wait for an opportunity as well.
While dodging, Mu-Gun executed the Infinite Thunder Sword. A cluster of golden light emanated and stretched from his sword, forming a huge sword spanning hundreds of feet. Mu-Gun swung it down at Pae-Cheon as soon as it was complete, splitting the space in half as it crashed down on him at lightning speed.
Pae-Cheon was stunned. Fortunately, Ryeon-Pae stood in front of him. Ill block it, so just focus on unleashing your attack!
Still enveloped by the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star, Ryeon-Pae raised his hands and grabbed the golden sword. A thunderous roar erupted as it pushed him down. Unable to withstand the weight, the floor underneath him cracked and shattered, burying him waist-deep into the ground. Nevertheless, he never let go of the sword. It was almost as if he was lifting it up.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Meanwhile, Pae-Cheon jumped into the air and threw his spear at Mu-Gun. The black lightning enveloping it took the form of a black demonic dragon, making it look as if lightning was about to strike Mu-Gun.
Mu-Gun gave each of them a Medicine King Pill.
What is this? Huangfu Chong asked.
It is the most effective medicine I know for internal injuries. It should help you swiftly recover, Mu-Gun explained.
I dont know if I can accept something so precious.
Dont you two need to heal your internal injuries to defeat the enemies?
Are you planning to attack them again? Huangfu Chong seemed surprised.
We were at a disadvantage earlier simply because we split up. Now that were together, we will have the upper hand if we attack them again.
Mu-Hwe and Huangfu Chong nodded in agreement, then took the Medicine King Pills from Mu-Gun and immediately consumed it. They then sat down somewhere flat and began circulating their qi. After watching them for a while, Mu-Gun also sat in a lotus position on one side and did the same.
Circulating their qi without any guards watching over them was dangerous. If the Nine Celestial Demons Sect and Sun God Palace sent a pursuit team, they could find themselves in a predicament they could not do anything about.
However, that only applied to ordinary martial arts masters. Supreme-Realm masters like Mu-Gun could closely monitor their surroundings while circulating their qi. They could also stop at any time. Hence, they could not ask for a more reliable guard than him right now.
The three circulated their qi in the dark for an hour, allowing Mu-Gun to recover all the internal energy he had exhausted. Shortly after he stood up, the two Saints also finished using the Qi Healing Technique. The excellent medicinal properties of the Medicine King Pills had completely healed their critical internal injuries, but their Qi Healing Technique naturally also played a part, given that they were Supreme-Realm masters.
The medicine you gave us is really amazing, Mu-Hwe said in astonishment.
You not only saved us but even gave us medicines. We owe you quite the debt, Huangfu Chong said, gratitude in his voice.
Mu-Gun shook his head. Instead of repaying me, just do your best to stop the Nine Celestial Demons Sects rampage.
That is a matter of course.
What do you plan to do now?
Wouldnt it be better to reengage them now? Mu-Gun said.
Already?
They would not expect us to attack again so soon. The two Divine Demons aside, the demonic monarchs should be having trouble recovering from the injuries they sustained during the last battle. The sooner we attack, the higher our chances of winning, Mu-Gun explained.
You have a point. Let us make haste, then.
With Mu-Hwe and Huangfu Chong agreeing with Mu-Gun, the three immediately headed back to the Sun God Palaces campsite.
