126. Flying.

What is the origin of the divine movement technique? Some say it is a martial art created to walk long distances quickly.

Some say it is a martial art created to overcome difficult terrain.

The Central Plains are vast, and there are many mountains. Both opinions seemed reasonable. However, Sima Han’s opinion was completely opposed to both views.

The essence of martial arts is simple. To kill the opponent efficiently!

There’s nothing particularly great about the divine movement technique. It’s just another martial art.

So what is the purpose of the divine movement technique? Sima Han thinks this way.

‘Quickly move behind the opponent! Cut off the enemy’s breath!’

That is the essence and ultimate purpose of the divine movement technique. Sima Han never doubted his own thoughts.

Just looking at the current situation, his life is in danger thanks to the superb divine movement technique.

A Cloud Dragon opened its mouth and fell above his head.

Crack- Kwaaaaaang!!!

Sima Han raised his sword, and a faint film was created above it. It was Johann’s shield.

However, the Necromancer’s trick only bought a moment of time. It was immediately broken, and Sima Han and the Taoist’s swords clashed.

Perhaps because the Taoist’s divine movement technique was so profound, one of Sima Han’s knees left a footprint on the ground.

It feels like his knee will be shattered at any moment. Sima Han thought so and gave strength to his whole body.

He has to endure. No matter what happens, he endures!

“Kkeuaaaaaack!”

Fortunately, his efforts were effective. The series of events happened in an instant, and Sima Han endured that instant sufficiently.

Sarah and Johann’s combined attack poured towards the Taoist’s body.

A blue oval sphere flies towards the Taoist. Faster than that, Sarah’s sword strike aims for the Taoist’s shoulder.

No matter how much he is the Roof of Kunlun, the two men’s attack was not just a mere rainstorm. Rather, it was closer to a lightning storm.

“Fifth Form.”

Shoong-

Again, that strange divine movement technique. Johann was startled and manipulated his magic power.

The magic missiles that were pouring forward abruptly changed direction. This time the target is the sky. The Taoist was there.

However, when Johann turned the direction of the magic missiles, the Taoist had already disappeared from sight.

“Sixth Form.”

It was a soft voice. But to Johann now, it was no different from the voice of the Grim Reaper.

Johann twisted his body and deployed a shield.

Sreureuk-

Immediately after, the Taoist’s sword came, cutting through Johann’s shield like cutting a radish.

By the time Johann realized that fact, it was already far too late.

“······Huh?”

Thud, something long touched his side. Johann’s trembling eyes looked down.

White, long thing. As far as Johann’s hardened brain could recognize, it was definitely his arm.

A kind voice was heard in Johann’s bewildered ear.

“It’s a pity. I aimed for your neck. That stray dog saved your life.”

The Black Wolf, who had come close before he knew it, was exposing both armpits.

If he hadn’t raised the Taoist’s sword, Johann would have had his neck cut off, not his arm.

The Taoist continued.

“Seventh Form.”

Once again, the Taoist’s body bent. This time, the target was Sarah.

But Sima Han was no longer going to stand by and watch. He glared and snatched the fan from Johann’s arms.

Kkaaaaaang!

The Kunlun’s divine sword and the Fox Spirit’s divine artifact clashed. The superiority was with Kunlun. Sima Han spat out as if chewing.

“Consuming true energy······ That’s why the orthodox guys are a problem. They don’t know how precious their lives are. Or are you just old? Is it just you?”

The Taoist did not answer. He just put his last strength into the divine movement technique.

“······Eighth Form.”

Ultimate Technique.

Cloud Dragon Grand Eight Forms.

The Taoist’s body bent for the last time, and a flash of pure white light flashed. Sima Han couldn’t react.

It is a divine movement technique shown by the Roof of Kunlun at the cost of his own life. No matter how much Sima Han, it’s impossible.

Puhwaaaaaack-!

“Keuheueuk!”

A rough spray of blood rose from the Black Wolf’s chest. The Black Wolf dyed his dark hair red and collapsed on the floor.

Thud-

The Taoist, who had neutralized the Black Wolf, raised his sword with a trembling body.

He twisted his body in that short gap to preserve his life. He had to finish it.

He poured out all his true energy and created the current opportunity. The Taoist gritted his teeth and unleashed a sword strike.

Puuuuuuuk!

A cold blade enters the neck of the lion-maned man. But it couldn’t break in all the way to the end.

The Taoist’s lips trembled.

“I have to, I have to finish it······.”

Sima Han, who stabbed the fan into the Taoist’s heart, muttered in a bitter tone.

“Old man. Don’t overdo it anymore. It’s already too late.”

“Heu, heueu······. Overdo it, I’m not overdoing it.”

Kwoong, the Taoist knelt down pitifully. It was difficult to move even one finger properly, but the Taoist’s eyes were fierce.

“I just, did what I had to do······.”

The Taoist closed his eyes with a displeased face.

Unlike before, Sima Han pulled out the fan with a solemn expression. Sima Han threw the fan roughly on the ground and raised his hands in a respectful posture.

Johann and Sarah, who were watching, couldn’t say anything. They don’t know why. It’s just that way.

The mouth of Fox Spirit, the leader of the Black Faction, opened lowly.

“Thank you for your hard work. It was an honor to compete with you.”

In this way, the hundreds of years of history of Kunlun were trampled miserably by the wicked Black Faction group.

Fortunately, not everyone who left the Kunlun Mountains was gone. Someday, they will take root again in the Central Plains and firmly establish Kunlun.

Fox Spirit’s vast senses noticed this, but he didn’t bother to find and pluck out the seedlings. It was Sima Han’s own courtesy and consideration for Kunlun.

In that way, Johann and his party came down the mountain range with staggering steps. The Black Wolf was collapsed on Johann’s shoulder unconscious.

The long conquest is over. Now it’s time to return to the city.

***

Not long after the wicked Black Faction group left the Kunlun Mountains, a man with a calm impression entered the mountain range.

The man busily moved his feet with a expressionless face. His footsteps were heading to one place without any hesitation.

Kunlun Sect. The man’s destination was definitely there.

Suddenly, the man lowered his body and stroked the dirt floor.

“······It hasn’t been long. It’s around here.”

All martial arts become stronger under the combination of internal energy. The same goes for light body techniques.

The lingering scent of internal energy left in the footprints tells the fact that it is faint.

If it’s the divine movement technique of a man outstanding even in the League, he should be able to catch up even if he runs a little.

A slight thought flashed through the man’s mind. Should I take a look at the enemy’s movements?

“······!”

But the man quickly changed his mind. Because he witnessed the state of the Kunlun Sect.

The man’s two feet became blurred. He entered the depths of Kunlun with quick movements. His eyes moved non-stop.

And he could see it. A corpse that died with a hole in its heart.

“Kunlun Jade Person······!”

The Roof of Kunlun was lying down miserably. The man couldn’t believe his own two eyes. He hurriedly approached and let out internal energy.

‘······He’s really, dead.’

The man was stunned for a while, then hurriedly turned his body and went down the mountain range.

Some time later, the man discovered a group of martial artists.

The martial artists frowned when a black shadow ran towards them.

Seureung-

Someone drew their sword. Currently, they were on their way to support the Kunlun Sect. They can’t ignore a suspicious person.

The man saw the attitude and hurriedly shouted.

“It’s me! Leader of Shadowless Pavilion! Put down your weapons!”

A martial artist with a greatsword tied to his back raised his hand and said.

“······It’s the Leader. Everyone, put down your swords.”

“”Yes.””

The greatsword martial artist asked the man who had gotten closer.

“What’s going on, Leader?”

“The Jade Person is dead.”

“······What?”

The martial artist, who had been stunned for a while, hardened his expression.

“Are you serious?”

“I wouldn’t lie about this. The truth is so.”

“······.”

The man with a calm impression said.

“Anyway, this is not the time to do this. We must return to the League immediately. We don’t know when the people who killed the Jade Person will come here.”

The man’s opinion was reasonable. They are a force that even took care of the Roof of Kunlun. Unless it’s the League Lord, their only answer is to escape.

The greatsword martial artist seemed to dislike something, but he couldn’t bring himself to object. Logically speaking, the man’s words were not wrong.

“I understand. We will return to the League urgently. Damn it, I didn’t know Kunlun would be attacked already.”

“That’s a wise choice.”

The martial artist turned his body with a distorted expression. A long line of League martial artists was visible.

They came all the way here, but they have to go back. It was truly humiliating.

The martial artist shouted as if spitting out.

“Return! Return! Everyone, return to the League!”

Long sighs echoed everywhere. The end of a harsh march is a return. Anyone would be upset.

The martial artist gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

Kuuuuuuung-!

“Can’t you hear me telling you to return!”

In an instant, a quiet silence lingered in the area, and then the martial artists receded like a receding tide.

The martial artist stared blankly at the scene, then turned his head and glared at the Kunlun Mountains.

“Damn it······.”

He was one step late. However, even if he had been one step faster, the result wouldn’t have changed much.

The martial artist was very angry because he knew that fact better than anyone else.
