Chapter 179
Baek Mu-Gun and Beigong Xue's group continued their journey, leaving Mount Dahei behind and entering Huzhong. However, their progress was hindered by the sleet and poor visibility caused by the wintry weather.
How can you live in such a barren land with such a harsh climate?
Mu-Gun marveled at the resilience of the people living in this harsh environment. The frozen landscape and the biting, swirling winds made it clear that the locals had to be truly remarkable to endure such conditions.
"I was born here, so I lived here thinking it was natural," Beigong Xue replied.
Mu-Gun expressed his amazement. "Come to think of it, the Beihai Ice Palace is really amazing to be able to create such a huge force in this land of ice."
Beigong Xue nodded. "That's because you can't survive on Beihai's land without being strong."
From her words, Mu-Gun realized that for the Beihai Ice Palace's martial artists, martial arts were crucial for their very survival.
"I've been thinking about how to make the Baek Sword Sect's martial artists stronger. Perhaps sending them to Beihai for training is a good idea," Mu-Gun said.
"Anytime you want. But they'd better be well-prepared. Beihai's land is more unforgiving than any other place."
Mu-Gun chuckled at Beigong Xue's intimidating remarks.
"Why are you laughing?" Beigong Xue asked curiously.
"I was just joking, and I couldn't help but laugh when you took it so seriously, Young Matriarch Beigong."
Beigong Xue smiled awkwardly, "Really? I must have been too serious; I didn't realize that."
"You don't usually enjoy jokes, do you?" Mu-Gun asked.
Beigong Xue responded, "I'm not great at socializing, perhaps due to my lifelong martial arts training. People find my personality a bit dull, too."
"Normally, it doesn't matter if a beautiful woman like you isn't funny," Mu-Gun teased.
Beigong Xue responded with a crestfallen look, "That means you agree that I'm not funny."
"Ahaha, that's not what I meant. It doesn't mean you're boring."
Beigong Xue couldn't help but laugh at Mu-Gun's explanation.
Dumbfounded, Mu-Gun asked, "Are you making fun of me right now?"
He chuckled, but his expression suddenly stiffened.
Beigong Xue noticed his change, "What's the matter?"
Beigong Xue looked at him in confusion.
Mu-Gun replied with a serious tone, "It seems we have uninvited guests."
Despite the sleet reducing visibility, Mu-Gun's Thunder God's Heavenly Eyes allowed him to see dozens of people in black armor approaching on horseback, armed with sabers and spears. Their numbers were around two hundred.
With the stolen horse, Mu-Gun charged forward, tailing the Black Wind Troupe. He released another wave of moonlight sword qi, cutting down the horsemen ahead of him.
Argh-!
Amidst the frantic screams of the Black Wind Troupe's men, the mounted squad slowed their pace and quickly repositioned to encircle Mu-Gun. Realizing the threat he posed, they decided to confront Mu-Gun head-on. They swiftly surrounded him from all directions, readying their spears to engage.
Mu-Gun wasn't fazed; he propelled himself off the horse's saddle, leaping into the air. From his elevated position, he released waves of moonlight sword qi towards the spearmen encircling him. The Black Wind Troupe's martial artists tried to block his attacks with their spears, but the moonlight sword qi, with the power akin to an Absolute Realm master's vajra qi, overwhelmed their defense.
In a deafening explosion, the Black Wind Troupe's spearmen and their horses fell, blood gushing as the sword qi wreaked havoc. Mu-Gun had single-handedly dispatched over ten of the Black Wind Troupe's spearmen, leaving behind a grim scene of destruction. Landing softly on the ground, he remained unscathed.
No matter how strong that bastard is, he is still only one man! Everyone, attack him together! The squad leader of the Black Wind Troupe spurred his comrades on.
Despite their fear of Mu-Gun's formidable martial arts, they believed they could still overpower him.
Mu-Gun found their bravado amusing and, with a mocking look on his face, stomped the ground with force. The spears abandoned by the fallen spearmen suddenly levitated into the air. The Black Wind Troupe's martial artists watched in disbelief as the spears hung weightlessly in mid-air. Mu-Gun gave them a sardonic grin before unleashing a powerful shockwave in all directions, sending the floating spears hurtling toward the charging members of the Black Wind Troupe.
The spears swiftly struck their targets, piercing their throats before they could react. The Black Wind Troupe members crumpled to the ground, their bodies frozen not only by the bitter cold but also by the overwhelming fear of death. Paralyzed with terror, they dared not make another move against Mu-Gun. The squad leader shared their predicament.
With the Black Wind Troupe's martial artists no longer mounting an attack, Mu-Gun inquired, "Are you done already?"
His question was met with silence; the martial artists remained incapable of offering a response.
Shrugging indifferently, Mu-Gun continued, "You can decide to start a fight, but how it ends is a different matter."
From the back of his horse, he took a step forward, bearing down on the Black Wind Troupe's martial artists. The overwhelming force of his approach left them trembling, causing them to retreat in fear.
Mu-Gun casually remarked, "I don't think running away will keep you safe."
He gestured with his chin, prompting the Black Wind Troupe's fighters to glance behind. There, they witnessed a colossal ice blade hurtling toward them. It was the White Ice Flash unleashed by Beigong Xue, and it cleaved through the ranks of the Black Wind Troupe's martial artists, freezing them in place with each impact. The ground beneath the point of contact was rapidly encased in ice, freezing all within a thirty-foot radius.
The martial artists of the Black Wind Troupe found themselves shocked by the power of the White Ice Flash. Confronting Mu-Gun alone had already pushed them far beyond their abilities, and now Beigong Xue had added her devastating power to the mix. It was a relentless succession of misfortunes for the group. Without hesitation, Beigong Xue unleashed the White Ice Divine Sword Art upon the disoriented fighters. Each ice blade that emanated from her sword proved lethal, ensuring the demise of dozens of Black Wind Troupe members each time.
Mu-Gun remained ceaselessly active, fluidly maneuvering amidst the panicking Black Wind Troupe martial artists, delivering fatal blows. Overwhelmed by fear, the fighters attempted to flee, but their escape routes were effectively blocked by the coordinated assault of Mu-Gun and Beigong Xue. As the majority of the Black Wind Troupe had been decimated, Mu-Gun delegated the task of finishing off the remaining members to Beigong Xue and the Beihai Four Shadows before meticulously inspecting the vicinity.
Mu-Gun believed that there was an observer not far from the combat scene. True to his suspicion, he detected a faint energy source approximately one hundred feet away. To identify the source, Mu-Gun concentrated on the energy, sensing that it bore the distinctive demonic qi associated with the Nine Celestial Demons Sect.
Detecting such energy from a distance of one hundred feet was nearly impossible for most, but Mu-Gun's exceptional sensitivity to qi, thanks to reaching the Supreme Realm, allowed him to achieve this feat.
Mu-Gun thought that by pursuing this observer, they might lead him to the group from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect.
As Beigong Xue and the Beihai Four Shadows secured victory over the remnants of the Black Wind Troupe, the observer who had been monitoring the situation decided to act.
I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'll need you five to wait in a safe location for a while, Mu-Gun explained.
What kind of matter is it? Beigong Xue asked.
I'll explain when I return.
Mu-Gun swiftly retrieved the Flying Golden Shield, which he had entrusted to the Beihai Four Shadows, and hurriedly followed the path where the Nine Celestial Demons Sect's watcher had disappeared.
Beigong Xue had to put her many questions aside for the time being as she watched Mu-Gun's urgency. After Mu-Gun's departure, she and the Beihai Four Shadows began searching for nearby villages.
