Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 1074
Udeudeuk!
The hand burrowing into his side pushed deeper.
“Keeuuuuaaaaaaak!”
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold screamed as if he was going to vomit blood at any moment due to the unbearable pain. However, what pained him the most wasn’t the hand of Thousand-Faced Gentleman digging into his side, nor the internal energy flowing from it wreaking havoc throughout his body.
It was this situation itself that he couldn’t understand at all.
‘H...ow...?’
Why is Thousand-Faced Gentleman here? How on earth?
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Wei Chung, or rather, Thousand-Faced Gentleman, who plunged his hand into Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s side, clicked his tongue as if it was pathetic.
“You must have bouncing the abacus wrong, Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold.”
“Kkeuk....”
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s body was shaking as if he was suffering from a fever. Then, Thousand-Faced Gentleman, in the guise of Wei Chung, smiled triumphantly.
“...You are definitely a great swordsman, to the point of admiration.”
Those words contained both recognition and ridicule toward Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold.
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold was certainly holding his sword in his left hand. However, the moment he sensed the presence of Thousand-Faced Gentleman coming towards him from the right, Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold unknowingly moved the non-existent right hand, pulled out his sword, and tried to swing it.
Even though his head knew that his right hand no longer existed, his body, which he had trained his whole life, repeated the most familiar action at the most dangerous moment.
“Cough....”
Thousand-Faced Gentleman let out a bitter smile.
Even targeting that fact for his attack, the moment Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s right shoulder twitched, a chill ran down his spine. Certainly, the reputation of Evil Sects’s Number One Sword was not earned for nothing.
But...
“What a pitiful state the ‘Number One Sword of Evil Sects’ has come to.”
Thousand-Faced Gentleman playfully twisted his wrist as if mocking him.
Udeudeudeuk.
“Keuaaaaaak!”
At the same time, a helpless scream escaped Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s mouth.
“Gre- Great Master!”
“You son of a beast!”
In a situation like a lightning strike unfolding behind them, the elites of Black Ghost Fortress who were pushing Mount Hua and Myriad Man Manor put aside the fight and looked back. And with all the murderous intent they could muster, they glared at Thousand-Faced Gentleman and growled.
“No, no.”
However, despite the pouring of murderous intent, Thousand-Faced Gentleman leisurely shook his hand still embedded in Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s side.
“Keuh.... Keuugh....”
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s complexion was no longer pale white, but ghastly blue. Blood frothed from his mouth.
“If you don’t want to see your leader’s heart burst, perhaps you should disperse and retreat?”
The mocking voice of Thousand-Faced Gentleman clearly pierced everyone’s ears. All trembling gazes turned to Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold, who was screaming.
“Di- Disperse... Aaaaaaaaaagh!”
The words that Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold was about to say were soon covered by agonizing screams. The complexions of Black Ghost Fortress elites turned white.
They knew they had to save Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold.
But how could they possibly save him when the enemy had a death grip in his side? Moreover, the person holding the leash of Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold is no one else, but the leader of Hao Sect, Thousand-Faced Gentleman.
Wouldn’t it be easier to rescue a rabbit from the tiger’s maw?
Or should they heed Thousand-Faced Gentleman’s words, disperse, and retreat?
Even if they did, would that save Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s life? Would Thousand-Faced Gentleman really let Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold go so easily?
In a situation where they could not do either this or that, the elites of Black Ghost Fortress were confused and agonized. At that time, a sinister voice passed through their ear, as if a snake was threatening them.
“What are you pondering?”
The gaze of those who had been fixated on Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold and Thousand-Faced Gentleman suddenly turned back. No matter what anyone says, he’s the most dangerous individual present.
How should one describe the light in his eyes? Distrust? Resignation? Or perhaps hatred?
No, it might be all of them.
Jang Ilso, who passed by Black Ghost Fortress who was overwhelmed by the force and walked on the barren land, finally arrived in front of Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold.
At that moment, Thousand-Faced Gentleman roughly pulled out his hand that was stuck in Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s side.
“Keuheuk!”
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s body collapsed forward.
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold, who hit his head on the ground without even thinking about stopping the blood gushing out of his side, trembled like an aspen tree. But anyone watching could tell.
It is not the pain that makes Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold tremble right now.
What dominates him is a deep sense of contempt. And perhaps...
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s jaw trembled as he looked up at Jang Ilso. His bloodshot eyes and Jang Ilso’s chilly gaze met collided in the air.
The thoughts that dominated Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s mind at that moment were somewhat ludicrous.
He wondered if could there possibly be another person in the world who could look down on someone else with such arrogance?
“Hmm.”
At that moment, a sigh-like nasal sound escaped Jang Ilso’s mouth.
Jang Ilso, who was expressionlessly looking down at Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold, raised the corners of his lips and asked.
“Who... made a mistake?”
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s body twitched as if struck by lightning.
“No. Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold. Ah, should I say, Gong Yawol?”
Jang Ilso’s sneering smile was clearly reflected in Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s eyes.
“The mistake was not mine, but yours.”
Jang Ilso slowly bent down.
And he thrust his face right in front of Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold, who was barely supporting his upper body with his only remaining arm as if it was about to fall to the ground at any moment.
“Really... Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
“Ja... Jang Il...”
“Answer me, Gong Yawol. Did you really believe I wouldn’t know you were coming to tear my throat out? Huh?”
As Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s face became more and more miserably distorted, an expression that was difficult to describe gradually deepened on Jang Ilso’s face. That expression resembled... a demon of hell who takes pleasure in torturing humans.
Jang Ilso stretched out his large hand and grasped Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s face.
Udeudeudeuk.
Jang Ilso gradually increased his grip, as if he was going to burst the head at any moment, and whispered into Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s ear.
“Let me tell you something, Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold.”
“....”
“You see.”
It was indeed a soft, sinister voice.
“I never trust someone like you.”
“Ugh...”
“You probably thought you knew everything about other people and calculated everything. But Gong Yawol.... What should I do? It seems like in all your calculations, you forgot to include ‘yourself’. How others truly see you.”
“Jang Il...so...”
Jang Ilso laughed like a demon.
“Doesn’t it seem like your precious abacus has shattered? Huh, Gong Yawol?”
Eventually, Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold, filled with despair, began to scream loudly.
“Jang Ilsoooooooo!”
“Hahahahaha......”
At last, unable to contain himself, Jang Il-so burst into a manic laughter.
“Hahahahahahat! Hahahahahahat! Hahahahahahahahahat!”
Great Master of Ten Thousand Gold’s cries and Jang Ilso’s manic laughter spread tragically across the silent land.
