Chapter 248
Chapter 248. The Black Flame Dragon Collects the Stakes
“Uaaaaaak!”
Je Geum-hak beat his own chest like a madman.
The Formless Flying Demon Unit members who had stood as if guarding him also moved violently, trying to extinguish the Holy flames stuck to their heads.
Their hair and skin burned, spreading a greasy smell in every direction, but it was not particularly painful.
W е̇bn̂ о̄ v̊ е́ ľ È nù m̌ а
The blood that had burst from my nose was covering up their smell.
By the way, this really was an absurd consumption of inner arts.

I had manifested it only once, yet my qi center was already showing its bottom.
It could not even be compared to the consumption of inner arts when I first used the Radiant Heaven Divine Palm.
How on earth did that old man Murong Gang use such an ignorant martial art?
In any case, since the long robes holding my hands and feet had loosened, I tried to move my body, but it would not move as I wished.
Е̇n um̈ а
Fuck, this is my chance to counterattack.
“Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.”
Je Geum-hak, who was spewing white steam from his face and chest, looked at me with an appalled expression.
“You bastard.......”

He chewed on his blackened lips as though judging what he should do with me.
“To avoid leaving future trouble behind, I cannot leave you alive.”
Е n ǔm.а . і d
He said that, but Je Geum-hak himself was in the same state, unable to move any further.
The bastard shouted at the top of his lungs while kneeling on the floor.
“That bastard will become the greatest obstacle to our cult!”
The Formless Flying Demon Unit members, who had still been struggling to extinguish the Holy flames until then, began rising one by one.
However, none of them moved easily.
Was what I had hoped for about to happen?

“......”
“......”
Je Geum-hak forced his trembling legs to rise and tried to approach me.
“Kill that bastard immediately!”
However, the Formless Flying Demon Unit simply supported Je Geum-hak, who was about to collapse, and did not budge from their place.
And from that sight, I sensed something strangely off.
Wе̌b̈ nǒv el̈ Ёn u̇ m̊_а̀
‘Does that bastard not know?’
Je Geum-hak was flustered that the Formless Flying Demon Unit was not moving.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“What are you doing?! Did I not tell you to kill that bastard immediately?!”
The Formless Flying Demon Unit looked at me through the black shadows where their faces should have been, exchanged glances with one another, and then began lifting Je Geum-hak up.
The bastard, whose body was helplessly restrained, tried to struggle.
“Not me! That bastard! I said kill that bastard!”
Ẽ nu m̌ a
Srrrk—
The Formless Flying Demon Unit simply lifted Je Geum-hak and wrapped themselves around him.
So, this was how it turned out.
Having grasped the situation, I mocked the bastard as much as I wanted.

“Are you thinking of just leaving?”
“You stupid puppet bastards! Let go! I will rip that bastard’s throat out right now......!”
Ẁ е̊ b̆ ň оv̄ е̂ l̀ Е n ūm̊ а̀
The Formless Flying Demon Unit’s highest priority was the safety of their charge.
When that safety was threatened, the Formless Flying Demon Unit sometimes prioritized the charge’s safety over his orders.
They had probably grasped the threat of the Void-Annihilation Fist and judged that protecting Je Geum-hak came first, fearing that he might die if they tried to kill me.
Perhaps Je Geum-hak did not know this circumstance, because he struggled however he could to tear the Flying Demon Unit’s hands away from him, but they were not the kind who would let go.
“Let go! I said let go......! That is an order!”
Watching Je Geum-hak being dragged away, I forced my arm up.

Because sensation had not returned, I bit the flesh inside my mouth and forced it, forced it to move.
“......”
“......”
“......”
When I showed a suspicious movement, the Formless Flying Demon Unit went on guard and raised their swords.
And seeing that, I poured out all the strength of a final killing blow and flipped Je Geum-hak off.
Е n̄ŭ m̈ а .і d̀
“I won, you bastard!”
As expected, his reaction was intense.

“......Kuaak! Let go, let go! I said let go, you bastards!”
I shot the Flying Dragon Claw toward Je Geum-hak as he was dragged away while struggling.
Ping—
The Formless Flying Demon Unit set foot into the Mystic Gate Formation.
Wе bn̆.о́v̊él Ë n̄.ù ma
This damned bastard.
......He dared to just return after facing me, a man of extreme profit-seeking?
I moved my qi center once more.
A feeling rose as if a rake were scraping violently across my lower abdomen, but I clenched my teeth hard enough to break them and endured it.

“If you lose at gambling...... you have to leave the stakes behind!!”
Wooong.......
Еn̄ ům а
The space around the Formless Flying Demon Unit and Je Geum-hak as they tried to escape began distorting.
Seeing that, the Formless Flying Demon Unit hurriedly tried to throw their bodies into the Mystic Gate Formation, but.......
This time too, I was one step faster.
Whoosh—
With a small accomplishment, the Minor Heaven Sword Art manifested and cut off Je Geum-hak’s arm.
Soon, a groan full of pain burst from the bastard’s mouth.

“Guhk!”
“......!”
After confirming that his neck had not been cut, the Formless Flying Demon Unit immediately tried to take the bleeding Je Geum-hak and disappear into the Mystic Gate Formation.
I must not let Je Geum-hak escape.
‘He found out about me.’
But if Je Geum-hak died, the enraged blades of the Formless Flying Demon Unit would aim for my neck.
Е̊n̊ um̄ а̄.ї.d̀.
A chance for survival I had barely obtained.
Somehow, I had to get out alive.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
‘In that case.......’
Even if I could not kill him, I had to turn him into an idiot.
I waited until the very last moment.
And the instant every member of the Formless Flying Demon Unit set foot into the Mystic Gate Formation.
Wеbn̆ о̀ v̈ еľ Е n ŭm ӓ
I raised my inner arts and cast the Void-Annihilation Fist again.
Wooong.
In the space that began distorting, the long-robed figures who had set foot into the Mystic Gate Formation were startled and spread their robes.
But the time in which they could do anything had already passed.

Thud.
It was only one move, but the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist struck Je Geum-hak’s Hundred Convergences Acupoint with precision.
Е nǔm̌ а̌
“Gwek!”
Je Geum-hak, who had been thrashing in pain, rolled his eyes back, vomited blood, and dropped his head limply as he disappeared into the Mystic Gate Formation.
“Haa, I did it. Haa, haa, bleeergh.......”
My insides twisted, and I vomited out the blood that had filled my throat, but my insides did not feel refreshed.
Rather, my stomach churned as though a fire had broken out inside it.
I barely raised my head and checked the place where those bastards had left.

“Damn it...... damn it...... damn it.......”
Je Geum-hak’s arm was attached to the end of the Flying Dragon Claw, but I could not circulate my inner arts to pull it over or move my legs to go get it.
Thud, thud, thud.
I forced myself to strike my thighs, but my legs still would not move.
Instead of my immobile qi center and feet, I used both arms to crawl toward the place where Je Geum-hak’s severed arm lay.
And after laboriously removing the Devouring Gauntlet from his arm......
Wе̊ b ń о̃ vě l̄ Е n̄.um а
Click—
I put it on my own arm.

At least if I did this, there would be no need for a battle of glances over who would take this object.
After finishing that series of actions with a body that felt like it was dying, I lay spread-eagled on the floor from the great sense of exhaustion.
“Haa, haa, haa.”
It was truly hard enough that even breathing was painful and agonizing.
Ē n̈ u.ṁӑ.і̇d̄
And yet a smile slowly formed on my lips.
“Fuck....... I won.......”
I did not know about Je Geum-hak, but from now on, the Formless Flying Demon Unit would think of me every night and lose sleep.
Just like our Sojeong Squad had after facing the Demonic Cult in my past life.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
They would toss and turn every day from anger, a desire for revenge, and their own helplessness.
Unable to handle their unresolved emotions, they would spit curses.
Ê ňu m а
“Hoo-ha.”
To think I could disturb those bastards’ sweet sleep. The Sojeong Squad bastards would be incredibly pleased.
“I...... I won! You bastards!”
When I entrusted my body completely to the floor, my eyes slowly closed.
My insides were so churned up that I felt like I was dying, but my heart was at ease.
Was it because my wrist felt reliable?
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
No, probably not.......
The greatest stakes I had gained from this gamble were.
‘......The Sojeong Squad bastards’ wish, huh.’
For some reason, I felt as though the smiling faces of those disgusting bastards were flickering before my eyes.
“Just what is this......?”
Shadowless, who had secretly infiltrated as a Cart Hand delivering supplies to the Black Thought Alliance, could not close his open mouth.
Ē ǹ u̇m ӓ. і d
“A surprise attack! It is a surprise attack!”
“The culprit is still left!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Jin So-un! Call Jin So-un! He needs to use Mind-Reading Art(?)!”
“Do not move! Anyone who moves is the culprit! Check whether everyone is wearing a Human-Skin Mask!”
The Black Thought Alliance should have been lively because of the Founding Ceremony, yet excitement and chaos ran rampant.
He tried to ignore it and pass by, but this was not happening in only one or two places.
Е n̄ ǔmă. і d̆
From every pavilion and all over the place, he heard people saying others had died.
Moreover, those who had seen the corpses were, for some reason, suspecting everyone around them.
The identities of Shadowless and the others, who had disguised themselves as Cart Hands, were on the verge of being exposed at any moment.
“Shadowless, what should we do?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
At Mu-il’s question, who had infiltrated along with him, Shadowless coldly suppressed his emotions.
“We stop infiltrating. We move with securing the target as the top priority.”
W̄е̂ bn̂ о̇ṽ e̊ l̆ Е̃ n̄û mа́
“Yes.”
As soon as the order fell, they erased the steps they had deliberately made ordinary and began unfolding Footwork Art.
They climbed onto the rooftops while avoiding people’s gazes.
It was unusual for the personal guards of the Alliance Leader’s Hall to leave the Murim Alliance like this.
After all, when Shadowless had first received Jegal So-myeong’s order, he had been the first to object.
However, after the Alliance Leader, Hyeok Mu-gang, also expressed concern about the Black Thought Alliance situation, he had no choice but to come here.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The Black Thought Alliance situation was currently connected to the situation in Sichuan as well.
If they could not grasp the situation at the Black Thought Alliance, they did not know what might happen to the warriors dispatched to Sichuan.
“Hmm.......”
And Shadowless thought it was a tremendous relief that they had come here in person.
......Because after entering Shanxi Province, not a single thing had proceeded according to plan.
Even now, had the infiltration they were carrying out to observe the Black Thought Alliance’s movements not been broken almost immediately?
E̊ n u m̆а
In any case, what they had to do now was secure the target.
Finding out what had happened in the Black Thought Alliance was something to determine after that.

They began moving for their highest-priority mission.
At that moment.
Whoosh—
“Hup!”
We b ń o v̀ẽ l Еňu m а
At the sudden Qi Wave that flew in rapidly, the personal guards all kicked off the ground at once.
Then.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
The place where the personal guards had stood burst apart as though it had collapsed inward.

A powerful yet precise circulation of Qi.
That meant their opponent possessed frightening skill.
Е ň u m̊а
Shadowless prepared for an unexpected decisive battle.
However.
“What, you are an Orthodox Path bastard?”
The voice came from behind him.
‘What is this.......?’
When he turned his head, a giant Great Saber wrapped in iron armor had already reached his forehead.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Shadowless immediately knew his identity.
‘Giant Shield Hwang Bu-sik of Four Emperors Peak!’
Speed that did not suit that huge body.
There was a reason he had made a name for himself in the Black Path Murim.
“Hey.”
Hwang Bu-sik looked down at Shadowless’s sword, which had somehow reached his throat, and spoke.
Е nů m̀ а́ . і̂d
“It seems neither of us is the other’s target, so shall we put our weapons away? Or am I your target?”
“......We are not assassins.”

Only then did Shadowless withdraw the sword he had pressed close to Hwang Bu-sik’s neck.
Hwang Bu-sik also withdrew his Great Saber at the same time and grumbled.
“Why did you bother disguising yourselves as Cart Hands and sneaking in? Suspiciously.”
Shadowless shot back without backing down.
Еṅ ũ m̄а . i d
“Why did you swing a weapon without confirming anything? Ignorantly.”
“What? Ignorantly?”
“Why, will you refute it?”
“Tch.”

Thinking he had lost the argument, Hwang Bu-sik clicked his tongue and gestured below with his chin.
“Can you say that after seeing the Black Thought Alliance in this state?”
Ӗn ûmа̄ . і́ d
Hwang Bu-sik’s reaction was unfamiliar to Shadowless.
Even though Hwang Bu-sik clearly knew he was a warrior of the Murim Alliance, he was not showing a particularly hostile attitude.
Without lowering his guard, Shadowless asked,
“What happened?”
“What else? What that bastard Jin So-un said became reality.”
“What?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Hwang Bu-sik answered in a rather familiar tone.
“I do not know either. He said there might be an attack, so we should prepare. But can this really be called an attack? It should be called a war.”
Shadowless found Hwang Bu-sik’s words extremely difficult to understand.
To begin with, he could not understand the situation where Hwang Bu-sik was frankly telling him, a Murim Alliance warrior, everything about the current circumstances.
“They seem to be professional Assassin bastards, and they are going around pavilions carrying out killings. I came out to catch them.”
“......Jin So-un said that?”
Е ñ ũḿ а. id
“Yes. In any case, did you bastards not come here looking for them?”
“......”

Shadowless could not gauge how much he should say.
After organizing his thoughts for a moment, Shadowless opened his mouth.
“We lost contact with the Murim Alliance Envoy Delegation that entered the Black Thought Alliance. Do you know anything about that?”
“......I see. So they really were being cut off.”
Wеb̂_ñо v̆е l̂ Ӗ n̂u m̂а̌_
Shadowless’s brow furrowed at the words whose meaning he could not understand.
“What does that mean?”
“There is such a thing. If you are Murim Alliance people...... go to that building.”
After finishing his words, Hwang Bu-sik immediately kicked off the roof and flew away.

A comrade asked Shadowless, who was staring at his back.
“Shadowless, what should we do?”
W̆ ѐ b n о v ѐ l̂ Е.n̂ û m̈ ӓ
“......”
Shadowless looked at the place where Hwang Bu-sik had disappeared, then soon nodded.
“We will go.”
Though he could not trust a Black Path martial artist, for some reason, Hwang Bu-sik’s attitude just now could not be seen as that of a complete enemy.
“Haa, haa, haa.”
Ak Byeong-bi, who had turned the last long-robed figure into a poisoned wreck through a combined attack with Dang Seo-hui, breathed roughly.

They were frightening bastards.
Like the Tang Clan’s Poison Humans, they exhaled something similar to poison mist, and every time their weapons clashed, his head grew dizzy as if he had been caught in Witchcraft.
The long robes, made from something impossible to identify, absorbed or diverted attacks, so there was no way to deal with them.
It was fortunate they had experts like Blood Battle and Flame Ghost Consort. Otherwise, before worrying about Jin So-un and Il-myeong, they themselves might have died first.
When he turned his head, Blood Battle and Flame Ghost Consort seemed to be in no better condition.
At the sight of the long-robed figures disappearing without a trace as soon as they died, as though Bone-Melting Powder had been scattered over them, even those Black Path martial artists looked appalled.
W̄ е̄ b̄ n̄о v̊ ě l E n ü mа̊
“Are you all right?”
At Ak Byeong-bi’s question, Blood Battle, whose one foot had become a rag, shook off his hands as if sick of everything.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“I cannot move anymore. If you want to save them, go by yourselves.”
Well, he had faced three long-robed figures alone.......
In truth, it was remarkable enough that he was still in one piece like that.
Flame Ghost Consort had faced one, and Dang Seo-hui and Ak Byeong-bi had faced one together, so Blood Battle had handled more than enough of his share.
Е n̊ û m ă
“......”
But the problem was that among them, there was no one left who could move anymore.
At that moment.
Tap-tap-tap.

Seeing the person who dropped down before his eyes, Ak Byeong-bi opened his eyes wide.
“......How are you here?”
W̊è bn̈ о́v̆ е l̀. Еnu ḿ а
A being who should have been in the Alliance Leader’s Hall had shown his face in the Black Thought Alliance, beyond ten thousand li.
“Third Hall Master. Have you been well?”
At the greeting that did not fit the situation, Ak Byeong-bi asked back,
“What is going on?”
“We came urgently because contact with you was cut off.”
For an instant, Ak Byeong-bi furrowed his brow.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Contact was cut off......? We should have been sending reports regularly.”
“......”
Looking at Shadowless, who did not speak, Ak Byeong-bi realized that the contents delivered by the Envoy Delegation until now had not been transmitted to the Murim Alliance.
Shadowless, who had been staring at Ak Byeong-bi’s grave expression, shook his head.
“Let us talk later for now. Where are Jin So-un and Il-myeong?”
At that, Ak Byeong-bi looked at the pavilion beyond the door, where red energy was flickering.
Ēn u m̀а ._ĩ d
“They are inside there.”
“What? Are you saying they are trapped in a Mystic Gate Formation?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Being trapped in a Mystic Gate Formation unfolded by the Black Thought Alliance.
This was no ordinary matter.
However, at the words that followed, Shadowless was left dumbfounded.
“They are not trapped. They went in to save someone.”
Ě ňûm̀а̀ . іd
“To save someone? Who on earth?”
“The Grand Strategist of the Black Thought Alliance.”
“......”
It was a situation he could not understand at all.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
What reason would Jin So-un and Il-myeong have to willingly enter a Mystic Gate Formation to save the Grand Strategist of the Black Thought Alliance, who was no different from an enemy?
Come to think of it, those who had been fighting together looked extremely suspicious as well.
Ẃè bṅ о_ṽ e l̀ Е̊ǹ uṁа
An old man who fought only with his feet, and a woman who handled Yang Qi.
As Shadowless looked around with suspicious eyes, Ak Byeong-bi moved closer toward where Blood Battle and Flame Ghost Consort stood and said,
“In any case, there were circumstances.”
“......Then should we not go in?”
Ak Byeong-bi, too, had thought that since Shadowless had appeared, they might be able to help Jin So-un.
“We were thinking of doing so now as well.......”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
However, just as Ak Byeong-bi was about to speak, Dang Seo-hui took mother-of-pearl bottles out from her clothes.
“Someone is coming out.”
Gurgle.
The red wall surged once, then spat out the long-robed figures who had entered the Mystic Gate Formation.
And at the center of them was Gun Yu-hyeon, half his face melted, with blood pouring from all seven orifices.
“Those bastards......!”
Е̌ n̈ úm̃a
No sooner had Ak Byeong-bi spoken than Blood Battle, who had been grumbling that he could not do anymore, shot Force Qi from his foot.
BANG—

Then Flame Ghost Consort’s flames surged up, and Dang Seo-hui immediately spread poison mist, blocking every direction so that those bastards had nowhere to flee.
“Wh-What is this......!”
Even while Shadowless, unable to grasp the situation, was flustered, fierce offense and defense unfolded.
Whoosh—
Ēnu m̌ а̌.і d̊
The four people who swung their long robes diverted those attacks again and again.
“Where is Jin So-un?”
Dang Seo-hui opened her eyes wide as if she could not believe it.
At the same time, her hands began moving so dazzlingly that it seemed as though she had more than ten of them.

However.
Whoosh—
Ě n̈ u̇.ṁ а
The long-robed figures, whom she had thought would block with their long robes as before, did not hesitate to launch themselves into the air.
Thud— thud— thud— thud—
Blood Battle’s Force Qi shot out like cannonballs and aimed for them, but even though they suffered damage from the Force Qi, the bastards only kept fleeing.
“Damn it, they are too fast.”
In the end, the figures of the long-robed men vanished without a trace, and a grave silence descended over the area.
At that moment.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The wall surged once more.
Expecting that another long-robed figure would appear again, everyone gripped their weapons with the single-minded determination not to let this one escape.
“Il-myeong?”
......And they stopped moving at the sight of a smooth head.
“Huff, huff, huff. P-Please take this person. I have to go help Benefactor Jin.”
“What? Were you not with him?”
Е̄n um̀а
Il-myeong, soaked in sweat and with his head flashing dazzlingly, breathed hard.
“Benefactor Jin told me to evacuate this person first.......”

“Could Jin So-un have been fighting Gun Yu-hyeon?”
At Ak Byeong-bi’s question, Il-myeong answered immediately.
“How did you know? I was startled too.”
“......”
Е n̄ûm a
When a sudden silence settled over the area, Il-myeong put on a puzzled expression.
Soon, Dang Seo-hui’s voice, filled with despair, filled the space.
“This makes no sense....... Jin So-un is the Black Dragon Stronghold Master and the Vice Alliance Leader of the Black Thought Alliance. He is not someone who would die like this.......!”
Instead of Dang Seo-hui, who collapsed to her knees in despair, Ak Byeong-bi calmly asked again,

“Are you certain Jin So-un and Gun Yu-hyeon were fighting inside?”
“Yes. He clearly threw this person to me and.......”

Ak Byeong-bi cut off Il-myeong’s words.
“Gun Yu-hyeon just escaped with people who seemed to be his group.”
“What? Then Benefactor Jin is.......”
Everyone in the area looked at the Mystic Gate Formation.
Everyone realized what had happened inside, but no one opened their mouth.
“That bastard...... in the end.......”

Ak Byeong-bi knelt on one knee and grimaced in pain.
Shadowless, who had been watching the entire situation, felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
For those who lived in the Jianghu, death was something that could arrive at any time without it being strange, but the death of an extraordinary rising star like Jin So-un somehow brought a sense of emptiness.
‘A pity. I wanted to have another conversation with him someday....... To think he faded like this.’
For some reason, Shadowless remembered Jin So-un’s face from the first day they met, when he had seen through Shadowless’s identity and smiled meanly.
