124. Kunlun.

Sama Han, hearing Sarah’s words, laughed heartily. His laughter was so loud it hurt the ears.

“Hahaha! You rascal! I told you to just rest! Can’t you escape from a woman’s arms? Hehehe.”

Yohan ignored Sama Han’s words. He tossed and turned, seriously contemplating using Magic Missile.

But that was too much. It was her good intention, in its own way.

Yohan sighed and relaxed his body. Yeah, sometimes it’s not bad to go comfortably.

“So, where are we headed now?”

“Where else? Think about it.”

Answering a question with a question. Sama Han definitely didn’t receive proper home education.

“Didn’t I ask you?”

“I asked too?”

“Didn’t I ask first?”

“I told you, I asked too, you rascal.”

“······.”

Yohan gave up on thinking. He should just ask Sarah. The moment Yohan thought that, Sama Han smiled slyly and said.

“Your condition doesn’t seem normal. Have you forgotten our goal?”

“Yes?”

His head was a little dizzy. Ah, now that he thought about it······

“Qinghai. We’re going to Qinghai now. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Kunlun, those stubborn guys.”

“Qinghai? Kunlun? Did we already take care of Sichuan?”

“Look at this? You’re really not normal? Didn’t you kill the Mount Emei Sect Leader? And I killed that Viper bastard.”

*Your* lover took care of the Qingcheng Sect old man. Sama Han added.

“If we stopped those three, that’s it. What else is needed? Sichuan Province is already in chaos itself. We should go to Qinghai.”

“······Ah, I understand.”

“That’s good then. By the way, you managed to hold out against two people.”

Yohan smiled bitterly. Held out. Being dragged around would be a more accurate expression.

“I’m still lacking.”

“That’s obvious, but you still held out for a few exchanges, didn’t you? That’s meaningful enough. As expected······.”

“As expected?”

“I’m good at teaching people. Hehe, if I had a teacher like me, I would have become the strongest in the world a long time ago.”

“······.”

Yohan was momentarily stunned. To gild his own face with such composure. Yohan couldn’t imagine doing that.

Just then, something in Sama Han’s words stimulated Yohan’s interest.

“The strongest in the world······. Old man. Which martial artist do you think is the strongest in the world?”

Yohan said that while recalling a scene from the past. The situation when he first came here and met Gong.

‘Gong said the Martial Alliance Leader is the strongest in the world.’

But Gong is not a martial artist. That means his credibility is low.

Sama Han is the strongest person Yohan has seen among martial artists so far. Perhaps he will give a different answer.

Spurred on by Yohan’s expectations, the old man opened his mouth.

“Me.”

“Yes?”

“Me. The strongest in the world.”

“······.”

Yohan was silent for a moment, then asked with a cold glint in his eyes.

“Are you crazy? Did you hurt your head earlier?”

Thwack!

Yohan’s face was buried on Sarah’s back. Yohan groaned, feeling her surprisingly soft skin.

Sama Han dusted off his hands and said.

“This kid has no manners. That’s why these youngsters are no good.”

Sama Han pressed down on Yohan’s head. It hurt quite a bit. It seemed like a bet.

“Now, look. Your condition isn’t normal right now, is it?”

“······Whose fault do you think this is?”

He ignored him smoothly.

“The Mount Emei Sect Leader. If you fought that old woman again now, could you win?”

“Hmm······.”

Yohan calculated for a moment. His magic power was almost gone, and his physical condition wasn’t good either. If he fought ten times, he would lose seven times.

Sama Han said as if reading Yohan’s thoughts.

“You’d lose. You definitely can’t win. But if you fought again in perfect condition?”

“I’d win.”

“That’s right.”

Sama Han rummaged through his clothes and took something out. Yohan frowned.

It was a head. The head of the Tang Clan head.

His eyes were rolled back, and his tongue was hanging out long. It didn’t look good.

“······Why are you carrying that around?”

“That’s not important. What I want to say is this. Whether it’s the strongest in the world or whatever. The strong guy in that situation wins.”

Sama Han grabbed the clan head’s tongue and stretched it out. Strangely, the color of the tongue was dark green.

“Even though this guy’s martial arts skills are poor, his poison is top-notch. If you get a good dose of it, even I wouldn’t be safe.”

Sama Han looked at Yohan again. His eyes were serious.

“I think I’m the strongest in the world. But being the strongest in the world doesn’t mean you’re invincible. Everyone is human. If you get stabbed in the neck, you die, and if you get stabbed in the heart, you die too.”

“······.”

“The strongest in the world, that kind of thing isn’t important. No one can decide that. If there is someone who can always win and never die at any moment······.”

Sama Han put the clan head’s head back in.

“That would be a god. Not the strongest in the world. Isn’t that right? Cult Leader?”

“······I understand. My perspective was too narrow.”

“It’s good that you know that now.”

Yohan relaxed his body. As Sama Han said, now is the time to rest. He heard that the Kunlun in Qinghai were formidable enemies.

He needs to replenish his strength and magic power as much as possible.

Slowly – Yohan’s eyes lost strength. His eyelids carefully closed. Yohan lost consciousness.

***

The greatest power in Sichuan Province. The Tang Clan.

The Tang Clan’s manor was now in a terrible state.

The walls had collapsed like mud, and were even blackened.

Barely dried bloodstains covered the stone floor. A huge amount of blood must have flowed. It was easy to imagine.

Among them, there was a bloodstain with a particularly large number of scorched marks. A corpse lay on top of the dark red traces.

Its appearance was very different from the many corpses everywhere. His hair was yellow, and his eyes were a clear blue.

Crack, crackle-!

Suddenly, blue electricity flashed from the corpse’s entire body. It seemed to wriggle, then melted into a handful of ash and seeped into the ground.

It was like fertilizer being absorbed into barren land.

At that moment─

Whoosh!

“Cough! Blurp! Shit, I thought I was really dying this time!”

A long, white hand sprouted from the ground, followed by the Westerner wriggling like a zombie and raising his body.

The Westerner was naked, and unusually, there were no wounds on his body.

Was this how a newborn baby’s body was? It was like being reborn.

“Monster, monster. I’m never fighting that guy again.”

The lightning mage grumbled and took clothes out of his inventory. And put them on.

Snatch-

After roughly tightening the strings of his clothes, the mage wrapped his body in electricity.

There was a brief flash, and the mage was no longer there.

Crackle- Taat!

A streak of blue light raced through Sichuan Province.

‘I need to tell the Martial Alliance about him quickly.’

He heard that the White Path’s forces were more dominant. But such a variable has occurred.

‘I thought it would be easy, but this damned tower.’

***

“We’re here. I can see it. I don’t know how they live in such a high place.”

The mountains were not as rugged as Sichuan, but they were still so steep that it was hard to tell which was more difficult.

Yohan understood why the Kunlun martial artists were called Taoists. If you build a sect and practice martial arts in such a mountain, the word Taoist would be more appropriate than martial artist.

“How far are we? Isn’t it about time to join up with the Black King Fortress martial artists around here?”

“I don’t know either, you rascal. Oh, they’re coming.”

Yohan turned his eyes following Sama Han’s finger. There, an unusually black crow was flying in without making a sound.

It was definitely a crow that the Black King Fortress trainers had directly modified.

The crow landed gracefully on Yohan’s finger. It tapped its foot with its beak. A yellow paper was tied to it.

Rustle-

Yohan’s eyes turned ruthlessly. Sama Han asked from the side.

“What does it say?”

“It says to charge now.”

“Now?”

“Yes.”

Yohan ran his finger over the paper. Then the paper began to burn from where his finger touched it.

The mage shook the ashes into the air and drew up magic power.

“The Martial Alliance found out. It’s faster than I thought, but it can’t be helped. Let’s capture Kunlun as quickly as possible.”

Sarah and Sama Han did not ask separately. They just silently drew their swords from their scabbards.

Taat-

The group’s figures seemed to blur, then disappeared from that spot in an instant.

Yohan quickly moved his feet while thinking.

‘Is there something I missed? How did the news spread already?’

A snag occurred in the well-progressing plan. He can’t clash with the Martial Alliance already.

As Yohan was thinking that, a dark figure came into his view.

It’s not a normal person. The place where Yohan is currently standing is a place that even seasoned herb gatherers do not seek out.

You don’t know what kind of wild animal might pop out, and you might roll down the mountain path if you’re not careful.

Blue particles gathered at Yohan’s fingertips. And he fired it.

Whoosh- Woosh!

“Ugh-!”

With a faint moan, the figure fell. He began to see them.

The group approached the person, presumed to be a Kunlun martial artist.

The martial artist shouted.

“Who, who are you! Do you know where this is!”

“Isn’t this Kunlun?”

The martial artist was at a loss for words. Because Yohan’s expression was too calm. An expression that was not at all afraid of Kunlun’s power.

Just who are these guys?
