Chapter 353

Chapter 353

Gong Tao tried to express the shame and remorse he felt, but this was even more embarrassing.

...Just take it!

Oh, the party mustve caught you. Alright, Ill take the money back, said Han Seha from beside Choi Yeonseung. There was no reason to refuse if someone offered money.

Party members could go to jail if they were caught taking bribes. On the other hand, the Chinese government couldnt do anything to overseas hunters even if they took some bribes. Therefore, this exchange was beneficial for both sides.

Yeah, Ill take it back.

Hunter Choi Yeonseung

Huh?

...Have strength!

Whats up with this guy?

***

The good news is that Joseph is missing.

...

It was just a joke Was it not funny?

Several hunters bit their lips tightly at Armas words. An A-grade hunter could tell such a joke, but the hunters under him couldnt laugh even though they actually found it funny.

However, the current situation was no laughing matter. Many hunters, including Joseph Grant and Rosemary McClure, who were A-grade, had gone missing. They hadnt been confirmed dead, so they were missing in action for the time being, but it was a huge disaster nonetheless.

Naturally, this dire situation deeply worried the Chinese government, which was why they started controlling information the second they heard the news. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

They were already spending a lot of money to convince hunters to come to China. If news got out that several A-grade hunters had gone missing, the hunters who were still on their way to China would instantly turn back.

-Please make sure to rescue them!Do whatever it takes!

-Any support will be available.You must save them!

Of course, the hunters also wanted to rescue them, but it wasnt just because they were comrades who fought together. If this operation failed, their careers would take a big hit. Armas and the other B-grade hunters would be particularly responsible for any failures.

The more we wait, the more their chances of survival will drop. Lets go right away

...?!

??!

The hunters were stunned by Choi Yeonseungs words as he entered the room out of nowhere.

Armas spoke in a bewildered voice, H-hey, did you hear the report just now?

The hunters couldnt overlook the fact that the Monkey King possessed unusual abilities. It was also clear that those peculiar abilities were somehow connected to the abnormal phenomenon occurring in the area.

If they tried to attack again without understanding it properly, they would likely fail just like before.

Yeah, Ive listened to the report, which is why Im telling you to take action immediately.

Choi Yeonseung wasnt very surprised.

Apparently, the reason the Monkey King was so strong was the fact that he fought in the area where the power of martial arts was heightened.

This monster already possessed formidable physical and magical abilities, and he had been reborn into a nearly perfect form when he had also gained the power of martial arts.

However, this wasnt much of a problem for Choi Yeonseung.

Im actually glad that Ill get to fight someone who has just learnt martial arts.

From Choi Yeonseungs perspective, this upcoming battle with the Monkey King was something to be thankful for. He wouldve been apprehensive to fight a monster with different abilities, but to fight one that used martial arts

It would be a piece of cake for him.

What if I refuse to participate? said Armas as if looking down on Choi Yeonseung. He was known for his careful planning, so even if a monster appeared in front of him, he wouldnt fight it before he made a proper plan.

Therefore, given the critical situation, Armas didnt want to rush into a raid that could fail.

If you dont want to participate, then dont, Choi Yeonseung replied with an indifferent expression, as though he could see right through Armas.

What? But youll definitely need my support...

Huh? Get lost already! You said you wont participate. Why are you being so annoying?

Han Seha was quick to disparage Armas, causing him to be speechless.

Armas had heard from a lot of people that Han Seha had a terrible personality, but he hadnt expected her to be so blatantly disrespectful to him.

What...

We came here with noble intentions, trying to rescue those hunters, and youre over here complaining like an asshole. Youre so infuriating. And why are you still here? Get lost already! Ill have a few words to say about you in the post-raid interviews.

Even though Han Seha was clearly out of line, nobody stopped her because they sympathized with Choi Yeonseung.

We have mobilized additional hunters who were on standby. They said they would help us, Choi Yeonseung said.

They agreed to participate knowing how bad the situation is?! Armas exclaimed in disbelief. This shocking news prevented him from getting angry over what Han Seha had told him.

The raid had been a disaster, and several A-grade hunters had gone missing, and yet more hunters wanted to participate?

It didnt make any sense

Choi Yeonseung also got fed up with Armas attitude, so he ignored him and continued, There are quite a few martial artists, so it should help. They should be able to stop the monsters under the Monkey King. In the meantime, Han Seha and I will go straight for the Monkey King.

The Monkey King was elated from the previous victory, and he rushed over the moment the hunters came around.

AAAA! I shouldnt have come!

I was ing crazy to believe in Choi Yeonseung!

The morale of the hunters had been quite high before charging into battle, but now that they saw the Monkey King rushing at them, they were terrified.

The magic power released by the Monkey King intimidated the hunters a lot. The monster seemed so unbelievably powerful that the hunters instincts were telling them to turn back immediately!

Choi Yeonseung, you bas...

Bang!

With a loud bang, the Monkey King was sent flying back; Choi Yeonseung appeared in the blink of an eye.

Are you okay?

Yes!

Lee Changuk immediately reported the situation before retreating with his colleagues. They did that so they wouldnt interfere with Choi Yeonseungs fight.

Didnt you just curse at him?

Sh-shut up...

Choi Yeonseung ignored the hunters behind him and focused ahead. The Monkey King was staring at him with a puzzled expression, as if to ask him how he was using martial arts.

Where are the hunters youve captured?

-?

The Monkey King shrugged dismissively and sneered. At that, Choi Yeonseung instantly disappeared.

Origin of the Celestial Step! Origin of the Celestial Fist!

With a sharp woosh, Choi Yeonseung struck the Monkey King fiercely, sending him flying and causing him to cough up blood.

The monsters defense had become stronger thanks to his mastery of the Diamond Fist Attack Technique inherited from the constellation, but that wasnt enough to stop Choi Yeonseungs attacks.

Following the tremendous impact of the attack, Choi Yeonseungs internal energy flowed into the Monkey King, causing him to convulse.

-? ??

Ill give you a chance. Taste my martial arts!

-!

The Monkey King charged at Choi Yeonseung with an angry look on his face. Perhaps because of his pride, the monster rushed forward using his newly acquired martial arts skill instead of using magic or other skills.

The technique itself didnt have a name, but it involved a large variation of attacks. The Monkey King punched and kicked in all kinds of strange motions, trying to crush Choi Yeonseung.

However, with an indifferent expression, Choi Yeonseung parried every single punch and kick and counterattacked with another brutal strike.

The Monkey King was completely overwhelmed.

I see...! Its the difference in mastery!

Illaphael had been taken aback by the clear power gap between Choi Yeonseung and the Monkey King. However, he quickly realized why the fight was so one-sided.

The Monkey King had learnt those martial arts only recently, whereas Choi Yeonseung had been learning and mastering martial arts for as long as he could remember. Therefore, the Monkey King was losing so badly because he was only an apprentice, whereas Choi Yeonseung was a master.

It wasnt clear how the fight would go if the Monkey King changed his fighting style by widening the distance and using magic. However, it seemed like the monsters pride was hurt, which was why he was still only using martial arts.

At this rate, no matter how great his physical prowess was, the Monkey King was at Choi Yeonseungs mercy.

However, the area was suddenly cut off from the rest of the world.

[The Angel of Martial Arts from the Future declares a realm.]

[The world is divided.]

...?!

[The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead says to be careful!]

A huge amount of the power of existence was consumed and the world changed.

The Monkey King, who had been in front of Choi Yeonseung, disappeared and a green meadow materialized in his place.

The scenery seemed tranquil, but all the constellations who were watching were nervous.

There was an angel standing in front of them.

A constellation.

The small angels face was concealed by a blurred mask. Everyone realized that it was the Angel of Martial Arts from the Future who had caused all of this.

This angel had shaken Western China and now isolated this area from the rest of the world. It was clear that this constellation possessed tremendous power.

The constellation looked straight at Choi Yeonseung and exclaimed, Father!

...?!?

[The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead is dumbfounded...]

Mother!

[...???????]
