Chapter 207

The Twelve Beast Kings retaliated against the brilliant golden Thunderbolt Swords cascading from the heavens. Their colossal vajra qi ascended into the sky, colliding with the one thousand Thunderbolt Swords. The space, unable to withstand the clash of such formidable forces, appeared significantly distorted, with fragments of vajra qi swirling like a storm in all directions amidst a resounding thunderous roar.

Martial arts masters from the Loyal Heart Alliance and the Southern Sky Branch swiftly maneuvered to evade the repercussions of the intense clash. Fragments of vajra qi scattered in all directions, completely upheaving the area within a fifty-foot radius.

Simultaneously, the golden Thunderbolt Swords penetrated the vast vajra qi unleashed by the Beast Kings, descending towards them. Rather than attempting to block, the Beast Kings promptly dispersed in all directions. Over three hundred Thunderbolt Swords struck the ground, leaving utter devastation in their wake and triggering a thunderstorm in the surrounding area.

Evasively dodging the Thunderbolt Swords, the Beast Kings swiftly sought out Baek Mu-Gun. In no time, Mu-Gun positioned himself in front of the martial arts masters from the Loyal Heart Alliance and the Southern Sky Branch. The Beast Kings surged toward him in unison. Without hesitation, Mu-Gun activated the Hundred Golden Lightning Wheel Wave.

Mu-Gun appeared enshrouded in a golden wheel, from which a hundred Thunderbolt Swords shot toward the Beast Kings. Once more, the Beast Kings unleashed an immense wave of vajra qi to intercept the Thunderbolt Swords hurtling towards them like lightning.

Mu-Gun's onslaught collided with the Beast Kings' attacks, giving rise to fragments of vajra qi and shockwaves that inundated both sides. Mu-Gun quickly retreated to evade the ensuing shockwave. Meanwhile, the others activated their protective vajra qi, enduring the fragments and shockwaves, before launching another counterattack.

Mu-Gun, opting not to directly confront their attacks, activated the Thunder God's Aerial Steps, soaring into the air much like before. However, the Beast Kings weren't fools. They had anticipated Mu-Gun's likely response and promptly adjusted the trajectory of their vajra qi towards him.

In response, Mu-Gun remained composed and persisted in utilizing the Thunder God's Aerial Steps, executing a sharp turn to the side. The attacks unleashed by the Beast Kings sailed past him, exploding somewhere above. The ensuing shockwave surged towards Mu-Gun.

Once more, Mu-Gun employed the Thunder Gods Aerial Steps to maneuver beyond the shockwave's reach. The Beast Kings gazed in bewilderment as Mu-Gun effortlessly changed direction in mid-air.

Surround and attack him!

Violent Tiger King Jeon Hwek sensed that surrounding Mu-Gun was the most effective strategy to impede him. Believing that encircling Mu-Gun and launching attacks from all directions would leave him with no escape, the other Beast Kings followed his instructions and formed a circle around Mu-Gun.

Observing their strategic move, Mu-Gun smiled with satisfaction. If the Beast Kings were clustered together, they would be challenging to approach. However, with them now dispersed, Mu-Gun saw an opportunity to pick them off one by one.

Despite the Beast Kings exhibiting power equivalent to the Supreme Realm courtesy of the Soul-Burning Invincibility Pill, they were not genuine Supreme Realm masters. Their ability to contend with Mu-Gun's attacks stemmed from concentrating their power in a specific area. Now, in their bid to eliminate him, they had relinquished that advantageous focus.

Seizing the opportunity, Mu-Gun countered with the Hundred Golden Lightning Wheel Wave against the Beast Kings' assaults. A golden wheel of lightning materialized around him, intercepting and diverting the Beast Kings' attacks away from Mu-Gun. The wheel then morphed into a hundred Thunderbolt Swords, shooting in all directions. The Beast Kings, preparing a follow-up attack, hastily blocked the Thunderbolt Swords, but the impact still forced them backward.

Closing the distance swiftly, Mu-Gun thrust his sword towards one of the Beast Kings. Golden thunder discharged from his sword, coalescing into five strands of sword energy that surged toward the targeted Beast King. It was the Five Lightning Volley [1], the second technique of the Heavenly Descent Thunder God Sword Art.

Black Leopard King Meng Dal hastily swung his scimitars to intercept the oncoming Thunderbolt Swords. Sharp waves of vajra qi emanated from the crescent moon-shaped blades, attempting to block the Thunderbolt Swords. However, the hastily unleashed vajra qi proved insufficient to withstand the force of the Thunderbolt Swords, shattering it and piercing into the torso of the Black Leopard King.

Kuhkk!

Meng Dal crumpled, enveloped in golden lightning. Witnessing his demise, the remaining Beast Kings, fueled by anger, charged at Mu-Gun in unison. Their formation was already in disarray. Positioned at the edge of the formation, Mu-Gun seized the Flying Golden Shield and hurled it forward. The shield soared in a straight line, spinning violently and emanating golden Thunder God qi in all directions.

Halting their charge abruptly, the remaining Beast Kings hastily blocked the Thunder God qi emanating from the shield. Seizing the opportunity, Mu-Gun swiftly thrust his sword and fist at the two closest Beast Kings.

Thunder God Qi materialized from both the sword in his right hand and his bare left hand, unleashing ten Thunderbolt Swords each. The ten Thunderbolt Swords summoned a tornado of lightning enveloping the two Beast Kings. It was the third technique of the Heavenly Descent Thunder God Sword Art, the Ten Thunderous Tornado Strikes.

The two Beast Kings found themselves ensnared and assailed by the Ten Thunderous Tornado Strikes. Their bodies, torn apart, crumpled to the ground.

The expressions of the remaining Twelve Beast Kingsnow reduced to Ninestiffened in disbelief. They had believed that, empowered by the Soul-Burning Invincibility Pill, they could contend with the Thunder God's successor.

Regrettably, having now witnessed Mu-Gun's strength, they recognized it as a miscalculation. No, it was more than thatit was arrogance. The barrier known as the Thunder God's successor proved insurmountable for them. Despite this realization, they couldn't halt their efforts; the inevitable end loomed once the effect of the Soul-Burning Invincibility Pill subsided. Faced with that certainty, they had no alternative but to fight until the bitter end.

It must be because of Young Master Baek, said Ximen Guang, the Great Ximen Familys Patriarch.

What do you mean? asked Zhuge Bo.

Young Master Baek assassinated one of the three Divine Demons. The other Divine Demons are definitely concerned about him, since aside from them, he may assassinate Absolute Realm masters too.

That makes sense.

Although it is late, I would like to express my gratitude to you, Young Master Baek. If it wasnt for you, it would have been difficult for us to stop the attacks of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect and the Sky Beast Palace.

Dont mention it, Mu-Gun said nonchalantly.

No, if it werent for you, we would have been the ones dead instead of them. You basically saved all our lives, Young Master Baek. So, of course we should be grateful. Thank you. The Guangdong Jin Familys patriarch, Jin Mu-Wei, bowed his head to express his gratitude.

It is as Patriarch Jin said. Thanks to you, we were all able to keep our lives. Thank you. Following Mu-Wei, Namgung Jo, Ximen Huang, and Supreme Elder Hyun Cheon also thanked Mu-Gun.

By the way, what should we do now? Ximen Guang asked Zhuge Bo.

Is there anything else you are thinking about? Zhuge Bo didnt answer and instead asked Mu-Gun.

I think it is better to continue tracking them with our Absolute Realm masters only, as originally planned.

It feels like the distance between us and the enemies is too great. Also, there are still members of the Sky Beast Palace left.

As you said, the distance must have grown quite a bit. However, we will be able to catch up quickly if only the Absolute Realm masters from our side will move. Also, we just have to make a detour so we dont encounter the Sky Beast Palaces members.

Encountering the Sky Beast Palace posed no threat, given their formidable group of thirty-nine Absolute Realm masters. Even with over two thousand members on the other side, the numerical advantage held no weight. However, engaging in a conflict with these individuals would consume valuable time, allowing the Nine Celestial Demons Sect to distance themselves further. To expedite matters, avoiding a confrontation with the Sky Beast Palace was the more prudent choice.

Then, they will run into the Southern Sky Branchs forces following us from behind. I am not sure if that will be fine. Ximen Guang revealed his concerns.

The Sky Beast Palaces members will most likely lose their fighting spirit and retreat if they confirm that the Beast Kings and the other martial arts masters are all dead. Even if they fight with the Southern Sky Branchs forces, they will be able to overwhelm the enemy in terms of both numbers and skills.

Thats true, most of the Sky Beast Palaces masters have died, so I dont think there will be much damage even if our forces fight them. Ximen Huang agreed with Mu-Guns opinion.

Then, should we give chase right away? Namgung Jo asked.

I think it would be good to recover our internal energy before doing that, Mu-Gun said.

Then, lets move after recovering our internal energy.

Mu-Gun and the martial arts masters from the Loyal Heart Alliance and the Southern Sky Branch found themselves nearing their internal energy limits as they had been constantly on the move. To effectively pursue the forces of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect, they needed to replenish their internal energy first. Consequently, Mu-Gun and the thirty-nine Absolute Realm masters divided into two groups, taking turns to circulate their qi.

Upon restoring their internal energy, they immediately commenced the task of tracking down the three factions of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect.
