Chapter 582
A sword embodying the heavens themselves; a sword that struck like lightning; a sword that bridged heaven and earth. To wield such a sword, one had to merge with ita fundamental requirement for a swordsman and the cornerstone of a warrior. It was a realm every warrior aspired to attain, and yet its essence lay dormant within them from the beginning. The realm of Heaven, Earth, and Man encapsulated this very essence.
Attempting to reach this state with an inadequate physique and without proper instruction would lead to the collapse of the users body.
Ssshhh... Click!
Davey tossed the two swords he held in each hand into the air, and as if waiting for this precise moment, the scabbards flew up and sheathed the blades.
Kwak Mi-Young was astounded. "What on earth is this..."
As Davey turned his head, he noticed Perserque and Kwak Mi-Young looking strangely dissatisfied. He didnt know when they had arrived. Behind them, an old man draped in robes lay unconscious.
"Davey... What exactly was that just now?"
Apart from Perserque and the unconscious Cheon Ji-Hee, everyone was astonished. Ja-Seong and Joon-Seong, watched in bewilderment as they sat on the ground, and so did Ji Woo and Kwak Mi-Young, who observed the scene from a distance.
Slash!
After a momentary hush, a gleam of light flashed, and the Heavenly Jiangshi gracefully descended to the ground, where it collapsed. Eight blades of sword energy had expertly sliced it through. Although they were fewer than Cheon Ji-Hees, they were undeniably more formidable.
"Did you mention the Heavenrend Divine Art? That thing is nothing but a mere fraction of the Heavenly Destroyer Divine Art, and its extremely dangerous. Only those with a special constitution can use it. Indeed, from what I can tell, there are only two people here with that capability."
Those two individuals were the unconscious Cheon Ji-Hee and the fallen Han Ja-Seong.
"Ican use it?" Han Ja-Seong had simply dreadful talent when it came to qi. Whatever little he could collect scattered right away, so he was naturally doubtful.
After a moment of silence, Davey called out to him.
"Han Ja-Seong. Before that guy attacked, I told you a story."
Ja-Seong remained silent.
"Why do you think I told you that story?" Davey questioned him.
Ja-Seong did not reply.
"At first, I was skeptical of you myself." Saying this, Davey threw Ja-Seong the necklace with a flask-shaped pendant that he had been holding onto.He then asked, "Where do you think I got this?"
Ja-Seong frowned at Daveys question. "Umm..."
Davey continued to speak without healing the dying man. "Lee Jun didnt have the slightest idea who his parents were. So how was he able to find them?"
Kwak Mi-Young frowned. "Sir, that sounds as if"
Davey smirked. "That's right. It's the only trace. Also, as long as he is not awakened somehow, Han Ja-Seongs physique is simply dreadful."
The Heavenly Spirit Physique.
Even though Dokgo Jun had given up drinking due to a promise made to Dokgo Yeon, Davey seemed to have a rough understanding of why he had once been a heavy drinker. It was likely driven by guilt and grief for his descendants who had returned to the secular world.
Dokgo Jun had left behind a child before his passing.
If the Heavenly Spirit Physique wasnt unlocked using a special method, the individual would appear weak. In Davey's case, he managed to reproduce it by altering a part of his body. Before doing that, even Davey himself could not use the martial arts developed by Dokgo Jun.
"You're not a simpleton. You have a one-of-a-kind physique that reveals its true nature only after awakening properly. So, what should I address you as? Dokgo Ja-Seong or Lee Ja-Seong?"
Ji Woo sprinted madly, activating his lightness art with all he had. The three Heavenly Jiangshi he had brought had been effortlessly disposed of, and the elder who was assisting Ji Woo was incapacitated.
The worst part was that Davey was not even the only problem. The Peach Blossom Lady alone couldn't have neutralized the elder. So, what had brought him to such a state? The answer was apparentthe silver-haired lady! Both of them were monsters, far surpassing Ji Woo's expectations. Also, Davey had radiated qi right now, which made it clear that he had it. This could only mean one thing: his qi was so vast that Ji Woo simply couldnt perceive it.
"Huff... Huff... Crap!!"
Gasping for breath, he stumbled and tumbled on the ground. He thought, I need to get back quickly and inform them. Theres no mistake, the technique he just used was what the Ak Rim Sect desperately looks for, the source of the Ak Rim Sect and the Heavenrend Sect. Its a technique belonging to the original Heavenly Destroyer Divine Art. He mastered the Heavenly Destroyer Divine Art! I must let them know!
"Aaaaaaaaah!!!"
Fleeing in desperation, Ji Woo finally reached the edge of a cliffand a massive canyon.
The gap between the cliffs spanned kilometers, an obstacle insurmountable without proper equipment. Not even the Ak Rim Sect elders could cross it.
Luckily, he had prepared something precisely for that contingency. Wheezing, he activated the device that pulled him to the other side of the canyon at breakneck speed. And just as he got therehe saw it.
On the opposite side of the cliff, where Ji Woo had been just moments before, that monstrous young man had appeared.
He was unarmed, but all the more terrifying.
Theres no way he can cross just like that. No way. Sowhy am I so afraid?
"Ahahahaha! If you think you can cross the gap, then just try it! No matter what skill you have, its useless! Not even the Heavenly Destroyer could leap over it!"
Gasping for air, he sat down and watched Davey take a step or two back.
Is he actually going to jump over?!
Davey lightly tapped his foot on the groundJi Woo couldnt recall seeing any lightness art like this, but that was not important right now.
Tap... Tap Tap!!
As if he wanted to jump to his death, Davey sprinted toward the precipice with light footsteps andleaped.
Ji Woo clenched his teeth, left speechless for a moment. Then, he shouted, "Cra... Crazy! No matter what lightness art you use, this cliff can't be"
He fell silent.
Davey was soaring through the sky, coming straight for him with his fist clenched.
At that moment, Ji Woo forgot to breathe.
The world around him fell silent. Even the chirping of crickets vanished.
He saw the chilling killing intent in Davey's eyes as the young man descended upon him. At that moment, the sounds that had disappeared returned all at once. It was as if time had momentarily stopped, then resumed its flow.
Oh no
As if noticing that thought, Davey's mouth moved slightly. His words were simple.
Oh yes.
Daveys figure, initially smaller than a palm, instantly expanded in Ji Woos sight as Davey flew at him.
Booom!!!!!!!
A tremendous explosion resounded, and the edge of the cliff Ji Woo had been perched on collapsed as if struck by a colossal meteorite.
