Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 973
No strategist can reverse the flow of a battlefield once it has collapsed.
If that were possible, wouldn’t it be possible for ancient strategists to have studied things like how to retreat with as little sacrifice as possible? In the art of war, this is like common sense.
But this place is Kangho. This is where different factors come into play compared to conventional military strategies.
Kuung!
Black Dragon King took a step forward.
It was just an act of moving one foot, but to those who watched it, it felt as if Black Dragon King was crushing the earth beneath his foot.
Overwhelming momentum and intimidation.
It was a form that proved with his whole body how the term ‘Absolute Master’ should be used.
The battlefield, swirling like a stormy sea, came to a sudden halt.
The pirates, Tang Family, and even Mount Hua.
They couldn’t help but stare as if fascinated by Black Dragon King walking across this blood-soaked land.
His appearance was reminiscent of a god of war descending from the heavens. However, the words that came out of his mouth were far from divine.
“...You idiots.”
The moment a boiling voice came out of his mouth, the pirates all shrank their necks.
An absolute master can twist the flow of the battlefield merely by existing.
Originally, without Black Dragon King, water fortress was nothing more than a swarm of pirates. However, the moment the existence of Black Dragon King was added to them, they became a member of Five Great Evil Sects and became one of Eighteen Water Fortress of the Yangtze River, which forms one axis of Evil Tyrant Alliance.
“Hmph!”
Black Dragon King glanced at his subordinates as if to cast them aside, and then fixed his gaze on Mount Hua.
“How dare these brats....”
Kuung!
His foot stomped the ground as if to shatter it.
“Have you no fear, acting up in front of me?”
The way he spoke was no different from a third-rate thug.
However, Black Dragon King himself proved that it is not the tone of voice that creates the dignity of words, but the speaker itself.
A voice with a formidable internal strength rang out with the possibility of bursting everyone’s eardrums.
The moment his guan dao vibrated menacingly, the sword warriors of Mount Hua flinched and held their swords tightly.
They couldn’t even hear what he was saying.
What they were feeling now was the terrifying momentum flowing from Black Dragon King.
‘Black Dragon King.’
Yoon Jong gritted his teeth.
He had already seen Black Dragon King at close range in the past. However, at that time, he was so focused on Jang Ilso and Myriad Man Manor that he could not fully realize the existence of Black Dragon King.
What should he say about Black Dragon King that he saw right before his eyes now?
‘It’s rough.’
An indescribable sense of discord was felt.
There’s a basic recognition among those who wield swords.
Respect for the strong.
Those who day by day sharpen themselves and climb the steep cliff of martial arts naturally develop a sense of respect for those stronger than themselves.
This is because they can guess the effort and sweat that must have been put into achieving that level of martial art. That’s why they secretly hope for it.
Absolute Master.
Those who dare to put the word ‘Absolute’ in front of their title must have the minimum level of dignity.
But....
‘No.’
Black Dragon King is different.
He didn’t even feel the least dignity that the masters, who were given the modifier of ‘Absolute’, might have. He was more like a thug who believed he could do anything with his power, imposing his will on others.
But... Yoon Jong felt it again.
How terrifying a person who ignores ethics and laws is.
They do not hesitate to show off their power and do not find it difficult to oppress others. The extreme recklessness even caused a feeling of nausea.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but realize why the man was able to completely control this large number of pirates just by existing.
Who in the world would dare say such a thing to the face of Black Dragon King? This is something that neither Shaolin’s Bop Jeong nor Evil Tyrant Alliance’s Jang Ilso can say.
‘But this bastard can.’
Because he’s Chung Myung.
Yes, because he’s Chung Myung.
And it seems that even Black Dragon King had heard of this guy’s notoriety.
Black Dragon King glanced at Chung Myung who stepped forward and then opened his mouth.
“I remember that face. Yes, you are indeed that Mount Hua Chivalrous Sword.”
“Oh, I know you too. You are Black Dragon King.”
“....”
Black Dragon King closed his mouth for a moment as if speechless, but then burst into laughter.
“Keuahahahahahat!”
He laughed for a while, shook his head, then immediately frowned and distorted his face.
“Kid. It’s not a bad idea to hide your fear with bravado, but that doesn’t work for me. Still, there is nothing to worry about. When your neck gets sliced and you’re thrown into that river, at least your piss-soaked pants will be hidden.”
Black Dragon King growled. Then Chung Myung just smirked.
“The world has really become so much better.”
“...What?”
“For an Evil Sects bastard to be flapping its gums right in front of me.”
Black Dragon King’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
After becoming the head of water fortress and earning the title of Black Dragon King.... No, even before that.
Has he ever heard this from anyone at least once?
“This....”
Black Dragon King’s eyes began to shine with ferocious killing intent.
“This... Fool who doesn’t even know the subject, mingling with Jang Ilso in Kangho makes you think you’re something special?”
“You shouldn’t talk about someone’s shameful past. When I think about that time, I still kick off the blanket in my sleep, you bastard.”
“...Huh?”
Udeuk. Udeuk.
Chung Myung cracked his neck left and right. He seemed upset because he was recalling bad memories.
“The more I think about it, the more I can endure it.”
Then he snickered as if he found it amusing.
“A small-fry punk saying something small.”
“...”
“And having to watch that too.”
Chung Myung bared his teeth.
Mount Hua proved today on the Yangtze River how strong they have become. What they left behind on the Yangtze River will be passed down to the world through everyone’s mouths.
So, now it’s Chung Myung’s turn to show.
What he has achieved in the past three years.
“Enough joking around.”
Black Dragon King radiated killing intent and took heavy steps toward Chung Myung. Black sword energy flowed like ink from his guan dao.
“It doesn’t matter if you all attack at once. I will make it clear why I am called Black Dragon King!”
Soon, an enormous momentum exploded from his body.
Everyone’s faces turned pale at that momentum. The pirates, overwhelmed by the suffocating pressure, could hardly lift their heads and scattered in disarray.
Regardless of his dignity, his majesty as a powerful martial artist was undeniable. It was as if his very being personified the Dao of Dominance.
Everyone was bound to be intimidated.
Except for just one person.
“Anyway, Evil Sects chick bastards are so stupid that they don’t know what’s said to them.”
Only Chung Myung stood relaxed across from Black Dragon King, calmly flicking the sword resting on his shoulder.
“It might be too generous for an Evil Sects chick, but let me teach you a lesson.”
The lips twisted, revealing sharp fangs like wolves.
“Consider it an honor, kid.”
Chung Myung slowly lowered his sword from his shoulder and aimed it at Black Dragon King, who was emitting fierce momentum.
