Chapter 88

When Baek Mu-Gun saw the bandits taking up arms again in order to survive, he held the Flying Golden Shield in his hands. Each of his movements made the bandits nervous.

Arent you ashamed of using your artifacts unique traits to gain an advantage over us? Meng Heuk-San criticized Mu-Gun when he noticed Mu-Gun was about to throw the Flying Golden Shield again.

Mu-Guns outstanding martial arts aside, Heuk-San thought the Flying Golden Shield was a special artifact.

Do you not find it cowardly for the entire Nine Dragon Stronghold to go up against me?The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

Joining forces against a master is definitely not considered cowardly, Heuk-San replied proudly.

So youre telling me not to use this shield?

We are martial artists before we are bandits. Since youve decided to kill us, at least let us give it our all as martial artists before we die.

You do know better than I do that what you just said is ridiculous, dont you?

If youre truly a martial artist, shouldnt you fight fair and square with martial arts rather than using a divine artifact?

Mu-Gun scoffed at Heuk-Sans unreasonable demands. Thats funny. Do you think you have a chance of winning if I dont use this shield?

If youre so confident, then why not throw your shield away?

Well, okay then.

Really?

This is nothing for you to be happy about. The result wont change anyway.

Mu-Gun hung the Flying Golden Shield on his back, then equipped his sword. It could be a little troublesome, but it did not matter to him even if he could only use his sword. Although slightly childish, he wanted to show Heuk-San the depth of his skills anyway. Heuk-San excitedly smiled when Mu-Gun unequipped the Flying Golden Shield. The bandits who were afraid of Mu-Guns Flying Golden Shield also regained their will to fight.

Everyone, attack!

As Heuk-San ordered, the bandits launched a fierce attack against Mu-Gun. They rushed in and encircled him, creating quite a threatening sight. However, from Mu-Guns point of view, they only looked like tiger moths flying into a bonfire.

Mu-Gun stomped on the ground and launched himself fifty feet into the sky. He then thrust his sword toward the bandits, unleashing full-moon-like energy. Countless moonlight qi waves poured toward the ground from the dazzling full moon.

With Mu-Gun out of their attacks reach, the bandits could only stare at him. As they watched moonlight-shaped sword shadows filling the sky and showering down toward them, the bandits finally realized that it wasnt the Flying Golden Shield that was frightening. It was Mu-Gun himself. The countless moonlight qi unleashed by the full moon engulfed the land and generated a deafening blast.

The moonlight qi cleared up after a while, revealing Heuk-San and the Jiulongs Four Tigers as the only ones left standing. To make matters worse, the Jiulongs Four Tigers were covered in wounds.

You fucker! What the hell are you? After barely fending off the countless moonlight qi, Heuk-San looked at Mu-Gun as if he was some sort of monster.

At this point, do you really still have to know? Its time to put an end to this.

Refusing to answer, Mu-Gun rushed toward Heuk-San. Heuk-San squeezed out all his remaining strength and launched a full-fledged attack in response. Mu-Gun easily evaded his attack using his movement art, however, and proceeded to thrust his sword into Heuk-Sans side. The Jiulongs Four Tigers, who were behind Heuk-San, attacked Mu-Gun to save Heuk-San even though they were already tattered up.

Mu-Gun glided to the side one more time. After evading their attacks, he thrust his sword again, piercing the Four Tigers chests with moonlight qi. The Jiulongs Four Tigers fell to the ground with blood splurting out of the hole in their chest.

Aghh!

Enraged by his subordinates deaths, Heuk-San desperately charged at Mu-Gun. However, he fell forward even before he could come closer to Mu-Gun, a hole having been drilled into his forehead by Mu-Guns Vajra Exorcism Finger.

It was Han Baek, the Thunderous Wind Palm, owner of the Yunxia Manor, and one of the Four Peerless Wanderers.

Thats definitely Han Baek, the Thunderous Wind Palm, one of the intruders confirmed.

I am indeed Han Baek. So, who are you fuckers?

Go find out in the underworld. Carry out the mission! the man shouted, and the intruders rushed toward Han Baek in unison.

Underworld my ass. Lets see if you can still talk like that after being beaten to a pulp, Han Baek responded in a baffled manner, then extended his hands toward the incoming intruders. The thunder qi that shot forth from both his hands spiraled out like a whirlwind and devoured his opponents, tearing five of them to shreds. Han Baek then unleashed another whirlwind of thunder qi toward the invaders rushing at him from the other side.

However, Han Baeks expression stiffened as he flew off the roof. With the intruders coming from all sides at quite a high speed, he wouldnt be able to repel them all even if he fired a series of thunder qi whirlwinds. As soon as he got down, the intruders fierce offensive poured in and destroyed the roof.

Meanwhile, the intruders chased after Han Baek and launched another attack. Like before, Han Baek unleashed a whirlwind of thunder qi to confront them. Those struck by the Thunderous Wind fell to the ground as mere lumps of flesh. However, one of his opponents rushed in from behind Han Baek and launched another attack.

Damn it!

Han Baek hurriedly turned around and tried to defend himself. At that moment, a golden flash of light cut through the space and blasted the head of the intruder aiming for him. The sudden turn of events caused not only Han Baek but even the group of intruders to momentarily stop moving and focus on the golden flashs source. There, they found Mu-Gun standing with a sword at his waist and a shield hung on his back.

There are too many unwelcomed guests today, Han Baek said after seeing Mu-Gun, who appeared after the group of intruders.

You look uglier now that youre older. Mu-Gun chuckled upon seeing Han Baeks old face.

What? What did you just say to me? Han Baek asked in bewilderment.

Lets deal with these rat bastards first.

Hah, young brat, have we met before? Why are you speaking informally to me? Well talk about this later.

Han Baeks words made Mu-Gun smile again before charging toward the invaders. Matching Mu-Guns movements, Han Baek also executed the Thunderous Wind toward the invaders who were surprised by Mu-Guns sudden appearance and martial arts, which could fire a flash of golden light from fifty feet away. Despite their surprise, they attacked Han Baek and Mu-Gun without panicking.

However, Mu-Guns martial arts soon proved to be much stronger than they had imagined. Since they had only prepared enough forces to fight Han Baek, dealing with Han Baek and Mu-Gun proved difficult. With their offense divided in half, Han Baek had a much easier time dealing with them.

The situation worsened for the intruders the longer the battle went on. Meanwhile, Mu-Gun realized while dealing with them that they exuded the Nine Celestial Demons Sects demonic qi.

Now that Ive gotten a closer look, you bastards are from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect, arent you?

The intruders flinched. Although they quickly fixed their expressions, their behavior couldnt get past Mu-Guns eyes. He was convinced that they were from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect. Soon after, he recalled that whenever the Nine Celestial Demons Sect began reappearing in murim, their strategy would be to find and kill murims hidden masters to weaken its combat forces.

Among them, youre all likely from the Heavenly Killer Sect.

The Heavenly Killer Sect was a faction that specialized in assassinations. The confidence behind his words made the intruders waver.

It seems Im right. I cant spare any of you, then.

Mu-Gun proceeded to show them no mercy after confirming that the invaders were from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect. With his mind made up, he massacred them. As a result, the intruders fell like autumn leaves.

Han Baek, who observed Mu-Gun playing an active role in the battle against the intruders, shot forth an even fiercer Thunderous Wind as if not wanting to lose to him. With both of them pulling their own weight, they wiped out all the demonic practitioners who had broken into the Yunxia Manor except for two people.

Mu-Gun deliberately kept them alive since he needed captives to interrogate. Otherwise, they would have already been corpses by now, like the others. Mu-Gun suppressed their ma-hyeol and a-hyeol acupuncture points, then searched their mouths for poison pills and removed them. The Nine Celestial Demons Sects demonic practitioners always had poison pills in their mouths so they could commit suicide at any given time. Once caught by the enemy, they would consume it without hesitation.

Mu-Gun had experienced many such instances throughout his previous life. Hence, he now removed the poison pills first to prevent the captured demonic practitioners from taking their own lives.
