Chapter 133: The All-knowing High Formation (2)
Peng Gu-in slung So Woon over his shoulder and climbed the rock face.
A slumped person was heavier than one might think. He had to climb the rock face, which had few handholds, using just the strength of his fingertips.
Peng Gu-in gripped the sharp rock outcroppings as he ascended.
Boom!
A chunk of rock flew and struck the rock face.
There was a loud noise, and the rock face vibrated. Peng Gu-in gritted his teeth and held on to avoid falling.
He didnt look back. The fact that the rock hadnt hit him meant that Yi-gang and Cho Myung-hwi were doing their job well.
I will definitely come back.
Something hot welled up from deep within his throat.
When that monster roared, Peng Gu-in felt fear, embarrassingly enough.
He had run away, using the excuse of not having his weapon, the blade.
It was shameful, but it was the truth.
But what about the other two, who were younger and had lower status in Jianghu?
Cho Myung-hwi revealed his hidden identity and stayed, and Yi-gang, who he disliked for being weak, also stayed.
They were the true heroes, men with burning passion.
Ill come back and save you both!
Peng Gu-in, having climbed the rock face, grabbed So Woon tightly and ran.
Towards the brightening northern sky.
His roaring voice as he ran echoed down to the base of the rock face.
Yi-gang was secretly shocked.
It was one thing that Cho Myung-hwi had hidden his identity, but to think that Peng Mu-ahs brother was right there beside them.
He felt like he understood why Peng Mu-ah used to badmouth her brothers.
These guys are disgusting. Worse than that goblin.
He had no desire whatsoever to become sworn brothers with them.
The goblin stopped throwing rocks as Yi-gang and Cho Myung-hwi approached, as if it had been waiting for them.
Cho Myung-hwi shouted in an urgent voice.
Those dogs they look like wild dogs!
Theyre not ordinary wild dogs, thats for sure.
But then, black dogs began to emerge from the surrounding bushes.
They were creatures with deep-set eyes.
As the goblin waved its iron club to and fro, the wild dogs started to howl, stretching their necks.
Wooo.
Awoo.
The sound of about a dozen black dogs howling in unison was bizarre.
It was certain that the goblin was controlling the dogs.
Cho Myung-hwi spoke firmly, One of us should handle the dogs, and the other should deal with that big guy. Ill take on
Ill handle the goblin.
Yi-gang quickly volunteered.
Cho Myung-hwi was seriously considering it, but he had no choice after Yi-gang drew his sword and stepped forward.
At that moment, the wild dogs charged.
Cho Myung-hwi sliced one of the charging dogs in half with his sword.
Please take care of it!
Kyaaang!
But as expected, the creature was no ordinary dog.
The sword, instead of cutting the wild dog in half, got stuck in its body. Instead of blood, a sticky liquid flowed out.
Cho Myung-hwi realized that dealing with the pack of wild dogs would not be easy.
Meanwhile, Yi-gang turned his back on Cho Myung-hwi and moved forward.
The goblin, twice the size of Yi-gang, looked down at him with its three eyes.
Yi-gang walked leisurely, dragging the meteorite sword, as if amazed by his own actions.
It seemed as if the goblin was curious, wondering why he wasnt afraid.
That guys eyes are really annoying.
There was no reason for Yi-gang to be afraid.
Although the creature was large and fast, it was no different from a beast.
The goblin lifted its iron club with both hands.
Its dangerous!
Cho Myung-hwi, who was fighting the wild dogs, was alarmed seeing Yi-gang seemingly defenseless.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
The goblin, like before, accelerated rapidly.
The iron club, raised high, came down on Yi-gang in a flash.
Boom!
From the loud noise and the rising dust cloud, it seemed like Yi-gang would have been flattened.
But that didnt happen.
The iron club was stopped midway.
Precisely, Yi-gang had lifted the meteorite sword and blocked the iron club. The sharp edge of the meteorite sword was half-embedded in the iron club.
Creeeak
Even the wild dogs were startled and momentarily became quiet.
The smile disappeared from the goblins face, due to the fact that Yi-gang, who seemed the weakest among the humans, had blocked the goblins massive iron club from below.
Its nothing, Yi-gang said as he pulled the meteorite sword out of the iron club.
Seeing this, Cho Myung-hwi yelled in awe, Uwooh!
Srrrk
Even after the sword passed, the goblin appeared unharmed.
It stood frozen, then its upper body slid off diagonally and fell.
Thud-thud
It was truly a lightning-fast strike.
The blue light twinkling in Yi-gangs eyes slowly faded.
He flicked off the sticky blood that clung to his sword.
Not bad.
A bit regrettable.
He felt a sensation akin to intense hunger.
It was the feeling of having used up his Innate True Qi to the brink of danger.
Such power couldnt be used lightly, but that didnt matter now.
Yi-gang rummaged through the shattered remains of the creature.
There was a bright red jewel scattering a strange blood light.
It was the internal elixir of the yokai that lived in this All-knowing High Formation. Yi-gang pocketed it.
This would more than replenish the Innate True Qi he had used for the Heavenly Thunder Bell.
The goblin turned out to be an easier opponent than expected.
Yi-gang appeared calm and breathed.
Huff Huff.
In contrast, Cho Myung-hwi, who had dealt with the pack of wild dogs, was in a terrible state. Those creatures were also yokai.
Cho Myung-hwi, his spirit shaken by the goblin, couldnt perform at his best, and blood streamed from his arms and legs, torn by sharp teeth.
But he had no time to worry about that. To him, Yi-gang, who had single-handedly defeated the goblin, seemed like a monster.
Henans Sage was it?
He was given the nickname Sage of Henan Province for his outstanding intelligence.
The nickname implied that Yi-gangs martial arts skills were not impressive, a somewhat condescending perception.
But having witnessed everything firsthand, Cho Myung-hwi had to revise his opinion.
What an insufficient nickname.
He finally collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
Twenty warriors, including the chief of the Righteous Heaven Guard Squad.
And the Left Guardian of the Alliance, Iron Mountain Old Man, rushed in. The All-knowing Master led them, breaking through the outer axis of the formation and entering.
Do not touch anything that I havent instructed you to!
The All-knowing Master gave detailed orders.
Breaking into the formation by dismantling its outer axis was more difficult than disrupting the formation itself, especially considering that this All-knowing High Formation was not an ordinary formation but a special one made with a Treasure.
However, this slow progress was frustrating for the martial artists of the Murim Alliance.
Boom!
Iron Mountain Old Man stamped his foot and said, All-knowing Master! At this rate, all the successors inside will die!
If you disrupt the formation, they will die just the same!
The All-knowing Master stood his ground against the fury of a Supreme Peak master.
In this situation, no one could defy him.
The moment when the Left Guardian was about to burst out in anger again.
He frowned and turned his head.
Could it be!
The highest expert among them sensed something first.
Someone was coming.
Huff! Huff!
They were at the outer axis of the formation, but someone was running towards them from the direction of the formations core.
The runner, accompanied by heavy breathing, was covered in blood.
It was natural, considering they had come through the traps set by the All-knowing Master himself, designed to be lethal.
Despite having iron arrows and feathered darts embedded all over his body, the person he was carrying was unharmed.
Le-Left Guardian!
Ah! What are you doing! Go and help him!
Only two out of four had made it out. But they had been prepared for the possibility that all of them might have perished.
Even the All-knowing Master was surprised.
They made it through the third level of the All-knowing High Formation!
Im fine. Please treat this person first!
Peng Gu-in laid down So Woon.
His complexion had turned pale from the loss of blood. The members of the Righteous Heaven Guard Squad quickly placed So Woon on a stretcher.
The Left Guardian recognized Peng Gu-in.
You, youre Gu-in, arent you! Why are you here!
Ill accept the punishment later.
Peng Gu-in didnt feel ashamed of his exposed identity. The situation inside was more important than that.
After hastily bandaging only the most severely wounded areas, he sprang up.
My brothers are inside, fighting against a monster.
What Is Gu-hwi in there too?
Please follow me!
With these bold words, he turned around and ran back.
He was heading back to where Yi-gang and Cho Myung-hwi were.
The Left Guardian, momentarily stunned, soon set his face in determination.
We follow! We go to save the successors!
