Chapter 516: Waited For Long? (1)

“Those despicable dogs!”

Chung Myung gripped the window frame as if he could leap down at any moment. However, Baek Cheon and Yu Yiseol quickly seized his arms from either side.

Chung Myung turned his head and glanced at Baek Cheon.

“What do you think you’re doing? Let go.”

“No.”

Baek Cheon replied curtly, causing Chung Myung to look at him with a puzzled expression.

“What do you mean by ‘no’?”

Baek Cheon furrowed his brow.

“Weren’t you about to rush over there just now?”

“I’m not an idiot. Why would I?”

Chung Myung grabbed the wooden frame again but then took a step back. The way he licked his lips indicated he still had some reservations, but he didn’t push it.

Jo Gul, observing this, whispered to Yoon Jong.

“Why is he complying so easily?”

“Exactly, it’s quite unusual.”

If it were the usual Chung Myung, he would have easily brushed off Baek Cheon and Yu Yiseol and leaped out of the window immediately.

Meanwhile, Baek Cheon, who had been peering out the window, furrowed his brow. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.comae. Are there enemies?”

“Maybe a hundred, at most. I can spot 50.”

“Right...”

Baek Cheon didn’t think it was much different from what he already knew. The Ice Palace alone housed over 1,000 warriors. Even with excluding the weak and injured from their previous fight, there should still be around 500 capable fighters.

Even if it was against the Demonic Sect, it seemed unlikely that 500 would struggle against a mere 50.

“For now, let’s watch. No matter how insane the sect is, they can’t conquer the Ice Palace with just 50 men.”

Upon hearing this, Chung Myung smiled, causing Baek Cheon to frown.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Sasuk.”

“Hmm?”

“Do you know why I’m not jumping out?”

“Because you don’t have a sword?”

“...”

Surprised by the words, Chung Myung patted his waist.

Oh my!

He almost jumped out without a sword!

Well... the reason he didn’t run straight there wasn’t because of the sword. It was just a sword. He could just steal one from the warriors down there.

But.

“Watch now.”

“... uh?”

“How are these bastards going to come? It’s probably very different from what Sasuk thinks.”

“...”

This was when the expression of Baek Cheon turned serious.

“Well, I was thinking about it. It would be better to see it with our own eyes than to blindly crash into them.”

Clack.

Chung Myung retrieved a pill from the jade box in his hand and tossed it into his mouth without hesitation.

“I’ll be cultivating for a while, so don’t leave until I wake. Stay put.”

“... you’re going to cultivate now?”

“It won’t take too long.”

Chung Myung’s eyes flickered with a hint of darkness.

“In the meantime, keep an eye on them. See why they’re known as the Demonic Sect.”

After speaking, he went to the center of the room and sat cross-legged. Before closing his eyes, he looked at Seol So-Baek.

“Take a good look at it all now. This is the North Sea. And this is what you are dealing with.”

With that, Chung Myung closed his eyes.

The disciples of Mount Hua watched in disbelief as Chung Myung began his cultivation. Jo Gul and Yoon Jong whispered to each other.

“...he is really doing it.”

“He must have a huge plan or not much thought at all....”

“The latter seems better, right?”

“First, watch your mouth, Gul. Didn’t you do the same in the past?”

“...”

Meanwhile, Baek Cheon looked at Chung Myung. Surely, Chung Myung could cultivate if he believed in their safety, but...

The sound of cloth being ripped echoed as a dagger pierced through it.

“...”

The body of the man who had rushed to the front froze.

‘What is this feeling...’

A strange feeling of displeasure flooded in, turning into nausea. Something welled up in their stomach, and soon, their entire body began to undergo the most hellish form of pain.

“Kua....”

But they couldn’t even scream as their body was suddenly marked with five lines.

Paaat!

First, their chest, then their stomach, thigh, and ankles. Cut down like wood, their body began to spurt out blood, painting the North Sea red.

Stillness descended upon them.

The energetic march suddenly halted.

Those who had surfed forward with energy suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Recalling the scene from a moment ago, their minds spun. They, too, had trained in martial arts. They knew they might have to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield.

There were levels of cruelty and extremes that shouldn’t exist. If one saw their opponent as a fellow human being, then killing them in this manner was not permissible.

Thud!

The dismembered body parts dropped to the ground.

The hand, separated from the body, trembled, and the wide-open eyes of the deceased expressed disbelief.

“...”

The silence was so clear that even the sound of breathing could be heard across the land. The stillness was shattered by the sound of bones shifting in the hands of the Demonic sect members.

Crack.

Their hands, concealed beneath their black garments, made a chilling noise.

Srrng.

A dark aura started emanating from the sword as claw-like energy extended over an inch from their fingertips.

“Kill them all.”

The people of the Demonic Sect immediately rushed at the warriors of Ice Palace, resembling wolves preying on sheep.

Their eyes, stained with red, appeared eerie as they released smoke from their mouths and chanted like a haunting melody.

“The Second Coming of Heavenly Demon! The Second Coming of Heavenly Demon! We are eternally favored!”

Kwaaang!

It was more akin to a massacre than a mere conflict.

The demonic claws ruthlessly ripped their bodies apart.

Kaaang!

There was no way to halt them.

If they raised their swords to block, the sword would split their bodies, and even the invading qi tore through their bodies.

It was clearly an unrefined attack, with no elaborate technique aiming at the opponent’s weak points. There were no flashy moves.

Just swings, smashes, and crushes.

However, no one could effectively block the attacks.

Kwaaaak!

The sight of them blocking their body with a hand wrapped in black demonic qi and slicing throats made the hearts of their prey quiver.

A half-crushed body would twitch there, and then blood would expel itself, soaring into the air.

But the Demonic Sect didn’t stop there. Their prey’s body, which hadn’t collapsed, could be called corpses as the claws were thrust in again.

Chaaak!

Finally, the body was torn apart as the demon moved, to the left and right.

Eyes that gleamed with a red light, filled with madness and killing intent.

Their mouths were wide open as if they were enjoying this chaos.

The demons, covered in the Ice Palace warriors’ blood, turned black instantly and took all in front of them down. The Ice Palace warriors who couldn’t escape this were torn to pieces as if stuck inside a rotating blade.

At that moment, the atmosphere changed completely.

“Huh...”

Their mouths fell open, helpless.

Their knees staggered and buckled, and their body began to tremble.

And.

“Haaaaa!”

It had been a long time since they lost the ability to have rational thoughts.

In the face of incomprehensible fear, the warriors of Ice Palace started running and screaming, something they had never done before.

“Uhhhhhhh!”

“ACKKKK!”

No, it was more like wailing than screaming. A meaningless howl that their bodies released in terror.

The members of the Demonic Sect pursued them relentlessly. Their demonic claws began leaving their mark upon the white snow.
