“Are you the Beast King?”

“The Beast King. I don’t really like it because it’s a ridiculous title.”

Gu Mo-seol looked at Ho Cheon-an and groaned inwardly.

This was because the state of Hocheonan was completely unknown.

Gu Mo-seol was a little nervous at the fact that he was at least an expert at the same level as himself, but he soon calmed down. It was because of the number of spirit creatures visible from afar.

The number of spirits that were expected to be seven turned out to be only five.

‘Actually, it’s probably four rather than five.’

Gu Mo-seol removed Seo Gong, who was holding Seo Yi-ryeong’s hand, from the force. Gu Mo-seol, who was well-versed in the circumstances of the blood religion, was well aware of the fact that Jeok Hyeol-seo had been bleeding for a long time and was weakened.

Unless I picked up an elixir from somewhere and ate it, I wouldn’t have been able to recover the lost power.

There are at most four spirits to deal with. You can easily deal with them using the formation method developed in the Black Forest Islands.

Is it just that?

Since they also had twenty blood monsters in their possession, there was no reason to be scared at all.

“The spiritual objects you stole were originally the property of the blood religion. It is right for the Hyeolrim Military Alliance, an ally of the blood religion and a collection of descendants, to collect it. If you tell me how you possessed the spirits and return them, I promise you at least a comfortable death.”

“Hehehe.”

Ho Cheon-an burst into laughter.

“From the beginning, the blood religion was not the owner of spiritual creatures. The blood religion simply deceived the spirits for a while and imprisoned them. Now that the spirits have realized that the blood religion is a prison and that they have been deceived, there will be no use in practicing crude blood magic.”

“You brought a spirit creature here and you are talking nonsense.”

Gu Mo Xue raised his hand.

Although he made a threat, Gu Mo-seol also did not expect Ho Cheon-an to reveal his secret.

At Gu Mo Seol’s hand gesture, the blood people handling the blood monsters whispered blood words, and the blood monsters began to let out threatening cries.

Anyone who has witnessed the power of a blood clot even once is a sight that cannot help but make one’s bones sad. Ku Mo-seol looked at Ho Tian-an with a satisfied smile upon realizing that he was able to handle such enormous power with just a single wave of his hand, but he could not help but harden his expression.

This was because Hocheonan did not show the slightest sign of movement despite the growls of about twenty blood monsters.

Ho Cheon-an’s mouth opened.

“Do you know why I came to the Black Forest Islands?”

“What?”

“That was because I heard that blood monsters were gathering here. To be precise, it is to give eternal rest to those who have lost their human dignity while being covered in the blood of spirits and human greed.”

“Ha, you came all this way to get rid of the blood clots? Because it is human duty? This is truly absurd.”

Gu Mo-seol burst out laughing.

“What is important about how the clot was created? The world belongs to the strong, and the blood clot is power itself! Have you tried to persuade this body by talking about human dignity in a time of turmoil where the laws of heaven have already fallen to the ground?”

“I guess I was mistaken about something. I had no intention whatsoever of persuading you.”

The warriors and blood people of the Hyeolrim Military Alliance burst into low laughter and ridiculed Ho Cheon-an. The person who stood alone in front of the Hyeolrim Archipelago with a spiritual soul in his mouth and said that the blood monsters should be given eternal rest had no intention of persuading them?

From their perspective, it felt like Ho Cheon-an was picking up random words and serving them when the situation did not go as expected.

however.

“No matter what you guys were thinking, I will put all the blood monsters to eternal sleep.”

The laughter stopped as Ho Cheon-an continued.

“However, through this conversation, I understand your thoughts well. I will follow neither cooperation nor humanity nor the law, but only pursue power.”

Both the warriors and blood people of the Blood Forest Alliance looked around, disbelieving their ears. Looking at everyone’s dumbfounded expressions, it seems they didn’t hear anything wrong.

It was when Kumo Seol was so shocked that he was about to open his mouth.

Rumbling!

A sound of thunder was heard.

Several warriors and blood people looked at the sky. It was a clear day without a single cloud, so where did the thunder come from?

Rumble!

Only after hearing the sound once again did they realize that the epicenter of the sound was Hocheonan. No, I realized it.

This was because the huge energy wave emitted from Hocheonan’s body hit their bodies heavily.

Gu Mo Xue’s body was shaking.

Gu Mo-seol, an expert in Hyeon-gyeong, clearly felt how enormous the power radiating from Ho Cheon-an was. How can this be a power that resides in one person’s body? How can one person alone handle a force greater than the flow created by dozens of people?

Although Gu Mo was shocked by the existence of an unimaginably gigantic power, it was still too early to be surprised.

Even the power that shocked Gu Mo-seol was not Ho Cheon-an’s power.

Gurgling!!!

With a thunderclap that felt like the sky was tearing apart, Hocheonan’s power exploded in earnest.

In the aftermath, the principles of the world are shaken.

Grains of sand from the sandy beach rose into the air, and the direction of the waves that had been calmly rushing toward the coastline changed.

A huge force that distorted even the laws of nature, such as objects falling from high places to low places and sea water rushing from the sea to the coast!

“If you seek power, you must never forget this fact.”

The black lip on Hocheonan’s head could not withstand its enormous power and floated up into the sky, revealing to the world a golden eye filled with a more pure brain energy than anything else in the world.

“That I exist in this world.”

“Hit! Damn it!”

At Gu Mo-seol’s screaming in fear, the blood monsters all rushed towards Hocheon-an.

As Ho Cheon-an looked at the rushing blood monsters, he felt pity rather than anger or murderous intent.

This was because it struck me once again that the blood monsters were murderous weapons that only followed orders, having been castrated from even the instinctive fear that can be said to be the basis of living things.

Not only the confident leaders of the Hyeollim Military Alliance, but even Hyeongyeong’s Gu Mo-seol were so scared that they could not take their steps, but only the blood monster rushed forward without hesitation.

“Rest in peace.”

As Ho Cheon-an mumbled, a thunderstorm rushed into his double head. The light was so great that not only criminals but even warriors who had practiced eye techniques turned their heads because they could not bear the glare.

“Ah….”

Seo Yi-ryeong, who was watching the scene from afar, opened her mouth blankly and watched the scene. Why is it that people often compare strength to a cluster of stars? That was because Kang Ki actually shined.

It varies slightly depending on the type of energy, but in general, strong energy shines more brilliantly when it is more pure and more densely compressed.

However, the sparkle created by combining energy can only be found as extremely small particles even in the energy of destruction and the essence of martial law, so the energy of martial arts is likened to a cluster of stars.

Even the sword river, which has a sparkle that is only a fragment of light at best, can cut rocks and break iron.

then.

What kind of power does Ganggi, with its brilliant light that can be seen from a thousand miles away, possess?

Seo Yi-ryeong soon found out the answer.

The twin blades of Hocheonan are thrust forward towards the blood clot at the forefront.

Flash-blink!

Along with the light, sound disappeared from the world.

Sand poured down on Seo Yi-ryeong’s whole body, as she instinctively covered her eyes, along with a strong wind.

Seo Yi-ryeong forgot his words at the sight that unfolded behind him.

This was because a huge hole had formed on the sandy beach that would make it hard to believe that a meteorite had fallen from the sky. Most of the blood clots caught in the impact were spread out on the sandy beach, and even the blood clots that did not fall seemed to have not come to their senses, so no one was aiming properly.

Ho Cheon-an, who had created such a scene of destruction, pointed at the head of the blood clot that had fallen in front of him. The movement of the blood clot, which had been flailing its limbs in pain, quietly stopped.

Hocheonan, who closed the clot’s eyes, moved toward the next clot. Gu Mo-seol barely came to his senses from Ho Cheon-an’s actions and did evil.

“You must not let the clot fall! People from all over the archipelago rush in at once! Seven island lords, prepare for a joint attack!!”

The warriors and blood people of the Blood Forest Alliance did not want to fight against Ho Cheon-an, who had caused great destruction, but soon realized that they had no choice.

When I looked back, all I could see was the archipelago and the sea. What difference does it make if you abandon the blood clot and return across the sea to an island with nowhere to escape? Only more certain defeat and death awaited.

“It is true that the Beast King is clearly the possessor of great divine power, but since he has shown such power, his remaining power is only a handful! If you give the clot time to recover, you have a good chance of winning!”

The warriors and bloodmen of the Hyeollim Military Alliance gathered their fighting spirit. This was because Ho Cheon-an, who was moving slowly as if taking a walk and killing the blood clots one by one, was clearly different from the majesty he had shown just moments ago.

“Hit!”

Wow!!!

Numerous warriors and blood people rushed towards Hocheonan. Ho Cheon-an, who closed the eyes of the fourth blood clot, let out a long sigh as he looked at the rushing warriors. I tried to deal with the suffering blood clots first, but I couldn’t hold back and rushed at them.

Besides, who is tired?

Rumbling!!

At the sound of the thunder again, the footsteps of those who were running with great vigor stopped.

From the floating grains of sand, Hocheonan’s collar fluttering towards the sky, and the eyes turning from black to gold once again. Aside from the fact that the black lip flew away, the warriors of the Hyeollim Military Alliance realized that Ho Cheon-an was not tired at all, contrary to their expectations, as he looked completely the same as before firing the twin guns. However, it was only a belated realization.

Because Ho Cheon-an’s feet had already stretched forward.

And the next moment. Ho Cheon-an appeared in the middle of the archipelago warriors.

The warrior, who was about a dozen feet away, saw that Ho Cheon-an was behind him in an instant and tried to make a sound in shock, but the warrior was not even allowed to do so.

This was because a shock wave hit belatedly due to Ho Cheon-an’s movement, which broke the speed of sound.

The moment a part of the archipelago warriors was swept away by the shock wave, Hocheonan’s divine form instantly split into seven, and the seven divine forms once again made seven movements.

Choi Jong-oh of the Chilwoe Defense Information.

Chilgeuk Chilreoyyeong Byeonhwanhwi.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!!

Forty-nine movements. And forty-nine shock waves. Even grains of sand scatter in all directions like a memorization from the force of the shock wave.

“Kaaak!”

“Aaagh!!”

Gu Mo-seol could not come to his senses.

Literally. It was literally the blink of an eye. The members of the Blood Forest Alliance, who had been shouting and gathering their will just moments ago, were blown away by the shock wave in just the blink of an eye, and fell to the ground with the sand that was fired like a memorization stuck in their bodies.

Their blood, moans, and cries of fear could be heard from all directions, but somehow the vivid sights and sounds seemed far away to Gu Mo-seol.

There are at most a few dozen people standing.

And among those dozens of warriors, there was not a single one left who wanted to fight.

“Hee profit! Save me! Save me!”

An unmanned person lost his senses in fear and ran away. Ho Cheon-an looked at the warrior and calmly raised his hand.

The thunder dragon’s finger was released and pierced the warrior’s body without any hesitation.

“Aaagh! No!!”

Soon, the energy released from the entire body of the warrior, who collapses with a mournful cry. Seeing this, the faces of the warriors, who were already pale, became even whiter.

This was because he had just realized that Ho Cheon-an had accurately targeted and destroyed the martial artist’s dantian.

“You, you…what on earth are you! What on earth is this?”

“Me?”

Ho Cheon-an looked down at his body, with smoke rising from it. Even though he protected his body with energy, how can he be completely free from the aftereffects since he broke through the sonic zone with his bare body?

Therefore, Ho Cheon-an’s body was heated by hundreds of degrees of heat generated by friction. However, the body made up of diamond fireworks with sword fire and water fire fire could easily withstand the temperature, and Hocheonan’s clothes were all made of Cheonjamsa or comparable treasures, so they did not burn.

Even Ho Cheon-an himself thought his body was amazing, so he just smiled bitterly.

“You, where did a monster like you come from?”

“…a monster.”

Ho Cheon-an repeated Gu Mo-seol’s words.

It may not be wrong to say that he was a monster, as his martial arts skills and body were trained as if he was struggling with regret, regret, and despair.

However, in Ho Cheon-an’s heart, there was something he wanted to call himself.

“I’m just…an old man dreaming of making a comeback.”

It was something that Gu Mo Seol and the warriors of the Hyeolrim Military Alliance could not understand, but Ho Cheon An shook his head at his own words.

Ho Cheon-an, who was pushed back to the world by the word ‘reward’ given to him by a person from another world, always had one worry in his mind.

What should I do to get up again?

The Sichuan people have all been scattered, Sichuan and Yunnan have been devastated by war, and all my precious colleagues have also closed their eyes. What should I do for what purpose?

Ho Cheon-an, who was pushed back to the world by the word Jae-gi, traveled the world and at some point realized the answer to Jae-gi.

It was because there was a connection.

Seogong, who likes to cling to his back and be held in his arms, and spirit creatures that beg to be petted. Seo Yi-ryeong sneakily appeared and happily ate. Namgoong-bin, who is like a snake, and Cho Yong-sang, who is depressed by the dark reality of martial arts.

These were all new relationships, and those relationships sprouted new seeds in Hocheonan’s heart, where only ashes remained.

The sprout’s name was Wind.

He hoped that Seogong and the spirits would live in peace, and that charlatans like Seo Yi-ryeong and Jo Yong-sang would be happy by helping people.

Ho Cheon-an, who had been traveling around the world defeating the remnants of the blood cult based on his vague connection with the spiritual creatures and compassion for the blood monsters, finally had a goal.

A clear goal to correct this chaotic world.

“So, the Blood Rim Army Alliance, which is trying to bring together the remnants of blood religion and disrupt the world once again… must leave.”

“Aaaaa!!”

Gu Mo-seol rushed in like a fit, and dozens of warriors, who realized that the only way for them to survive was to defeat Ho Cheon-an, rushed in with their strength in full swing.

It didn’t take long for Ho Tian-an to break all of their powerful weapons and take the dantian.

Only Gu Mo-seol was able to hold out until the end as if to prove his status, but he was unable to defeat Ho-cheon-an alone even when he attacked it with dozens of masters, so in the end, he had to give up Dan-tian to the hand that broke through all the laws. I had no choice but to do so.

“Hehe.,! He is truly a devil. I would rather take my life than give myself the humiliation of breaking my dantian!”

Ho Cheon-an simply responded to Gu Mo-seol’s cries with cold eyes.

“The blood monsters you used would have wanted their lives to end as warriors rather than as monsters.”

Gu Moxue, who was a tired old man, could no longer bear the shock of having his dantian broken and his energy scattered, and he fainted.

It was the end of Hyeongyeong, the martial arts castle, but Ho Cheon-an walked away again without even looking at him.

It was to give eternal rest to the blood monsters that were still alive.

Seo Yi-ryeong walked around the battlefield filled with screams, moans, and cries and approached Ho Cheon-an, who closed the blood monster’s eyes.

“Elderly…”

“Hehe. Just wait a moment.”

Soon, all twenty blood monsters went to rest. Ho Cheon-an straightened his back refreshedly, as if all his work had now been completed.

Squeak.

Seogong retrieved the black lip that was stuck in a corner of the sandy beach and handed it to Ho Cheon-an. Ho Cheon-an roughly shook off the sand on the black lip and pressed it.

Seo Yi-ryeong just looked at Ho Cheon-an.

Because I had no idea what to say.

What is that divine status? Why did he go out alone instead of the Murim Alliance? How did you give enlightenment to Cho Yong-sang? There were a lot of other things I wanted to ask, but for some reason I couldn’t say anything.

“I think it’s time to say goodbye.”

“…Elderly.”

Seo Yi-ryeong could not bear to deny it. Even though the core force of the Blood Forest Alliance has been completely destroyed, someone has to clean up the mess. The only person here who could perform that role on behalf of Cho Yong-sang was Seo Yi-ryeong.

Is it just that?

Considering the changes that the disappearance of the power of the Hyeolrim Archipelago would bring to the world, there was no longer any time to travel with Hocheonan.

“I hope you are doing well.”

Seo Yi-ryeong realized that Ho Cheon-an’s decision had already been strengthened by the peaceful voice that was the same as any other time during the trip. Seo Yi-ryeong’s mind was still confused, and there were as many things she wanted to ask as there were stars in the sky, but Seo Yi-ryeong suppressed all the questions and seemed to be in control.

“I received great grace. I will never forget this grace, as well as the time I spent with you.”

“That’s what I’m going to say. Lee Ryeong Sojeo. Thank you for letting me know that it is okay to trust people.”

Did he sense farewell?

Seo Gong grabbed Yi-ryeong’s hand with his tail, and Miho also cried softly and rubbed her face against Seo Yi-ryeong. Seo Yi-ryeong held Seo-gong’s tail, hugged Mi-ho with one hand, and followed Muk-geum with her eyes.

Seo Yi-ryeong nodded, looking at Mukgeum, who remained silent as always. It was disappointing that there was no response, but since it was a silent farewell, it was a farewell, so Seo Yi-ryeong was not disappointed.

Ugh.

Squeak!

Seokwoong and Hwangdan also bid farewell. After seeing that everyone had said goodbye, Ho Cheon-an turned his back. The spirits followed them one by one, and Miho, who licked Seo Yi-ryeong one last time, followed behind her.

Seo Yi-ryeong raised his gun towards his back. Seo Yi-ryeong continued to maintain that posture until not only Ho Cheon-an but also Seok-woong, who boasted a large body, was no longer visible.

The Thunder Master (雷鳴存者).

It was a day when a new nickname for Hocheonan was born to replace the Beast King.
