16. Demon the White Dragon Slayer (6)
16. Demon the White Dragon Slayer (6) – The sword that wraps around the sun
[Li-Gwa (離卦) O-Mi-Hap (午未合) Purple Flame Tai-Gon-Se (紫炎太棍勢) Nuckelavee (Nuckelavee) Hwan-Jin]
– Gooooooo-!
A half-man, half-horse giant with goat horns swings a large club made of storm clouds and scatters purple flames.
The monster’s form is merely an illusion caused by the effects of the formation, but the power it wields is not an illusion, but a real one. A huge power that could crush even Mt. Tai is struck down by a single unmanned person.
Is this what it looks like for a human to face a typhoon alone? Compared to the illusion of a giant hundreds of meters tall, Mokjin, who only holds a single dark sword, looks incredibly pitiful.
But no one present here thought that the giant’s club could defeat him.
A single huge bolt of lightning streaks across the sky with a roaring thunder, piercing the purple flames, and the giant’s club curves outward in a strange trajectory.
“How on earth can he have that kind of strength······.”
One of the Baekryong members mutters involuntarily with a tired expression.
The power of the lightning bolt is absurdly large for a human, but compared to the power contained in the club made of purple flames, it is nothing more than a handful of sand. However, with that amount of power, he is able to easily withstand the power of the Six-Hap Resonance Formation.
Is that really a person?
This is already the eighteenth reincarnation. And yet, how can you dismiss that man, who shows off his health without even the slightest injury, except for a slight bruise on his clothes, as a mere warrior?
‘He’s on a whole different level from the absolute masters I’ve met so far.’
Since the formation called Yukhap Gongmyeong Daejin was originally a formation designed to deal with a large group of skilled players at once, it is fundamentally a formation that takes a defensive stance rather than an offensive stance and holds out until the opponent’s strength is reduced with minimal losses.
However, it is absurd to think that the power contained in each formation is weak. The power contained in the formation of the Six-Headed Resonance Battleship easily surpasses even the high-power reactor cores mounted on battleships.
Even among the martial artists who are evaluated as being different from others, only those who have achieved transcendent strength are given the title of absolute master, but even these absolute masters can only with difficulty endure the single formation of the Yukhap Gongmyeong Daejin. However, that man was unleashing a torrent of enormous strength without showing any sign of difficulty.
‘Can we defeat such a monster?’
As the battle continued, a sense of anxiety rose from deep within their hearts. Even though Baekryongdae had defeated countless masters, it was only natural that they would feel fear of the unknown after watching that mysterious sight for an hour.
[ Don’t be shaken! The enemy is certainly strong, but his power is not infinite! ]
Perhaps he had guessed their minds, and Zhuge Wujun’s stern shout echoed through their minds through the tactical brain net.
[ We are just enduring while conserving our strength as much as possible, but look at the enemy getting tired like a drizzle. Enduring and persevering until the beast collapses from exhaustion is the wise hunting method of humans that has been passed down from the primitive times. All of the Baekryongdae must not let their guard down and endure until the wounds left on the enemy’s clothes become bleeding wounds for the sake of the Great Zhuge Liang! ]
The fundamental idea of the Six-Hap Resonance Formation is a continuous wave attack like a wave that cuts through a rock. It is not that the strategy itself is wrong, but it is because the wooden formation is unusually strong that it can hold out for an unusually long time. Zhuge Wujun was confident.
And Baekryongdae, specialists with countless experiences both virtually and in real life, were able to maintain the Yukhap Gongmyeongdae formation for days on end.
[Your name!]
As Zhuge Wujun’s rebuke awakened their spirits, the delusion in their eyes disappeared and they transformed into sharp eyes like newly sharpened swords.
He, the Heavenly King Jegal Mujun, is the only head of the wise white dragon that holds the throne of the three worlds. And the White Dragon Belt is his limbs and the dragon’s body.
Under the monarch who leads the thousand debts, they will surely win. Even the fierce and absolute master of the Demonic Cult, the three cunning sisters of the evil Sect, and the bloody hunting dogs of the evil Black Sword all knelt before the White Dragon with the Yeouiju in its mouth. How could the result be any different for the ancient masters?
The Baekryongdae’s reverence and faith toward Zhuge Wujun was like faith. Since he became the leader of Baekryongdae, they had never been defeated even once.
That is why the Baekryongdae had no doubts about their victory. As their beloved monarch said, enemies stronger than them always knelt before them.
[Southern Fire Three Directions Attack! Prepare for a counterattack!]
Under the command of Zhuge Wujun, twenty-seven White Dragons, each in charge of the three cardinal directions of the year (午), year (未), and year (巳), formed a unit and charged in from nine directions simultaneously.
The Li Gua (離卦) is fire, and the snake, horse, and sheep are the beasts that support the southern direction, which has the attribute of fire. The white clothes worn by the Baekryongdae members were dyed in a blazing red light, and the blades were covered in purple flames.
Like the explosive flames of a volcano, the Baekryongdae warriors stab their swords all at once under the protection of the strong ships controlled by Jegal Mujun.
Unlike the usual swords, it is a ferocious sword that runs wild like a wild horse. However, what is more threatening is the sword energy that contains purple karma that flies in and burns even the air it passes by.
‘However, it is nothing compared to the Seven-Step Sword of the Sword Master.’
In the past, the Seven-Step Swordsmanship displayed by Seocheon Sword Master was a divine technique that allowed him to fire seven quick sword strikes simultaneously, which was difficult to even recognize.
Even if Mokjin could accept such skill with ease, there was no way that any number of swordsmen who could not even match her sword would be able to injure her.
In the moment when everyone stopped, Mokjin’s sword alone drew a swift trajectory and swept across the nine directions. Even the terrible heat that rose up when fire met fire could not burn the dark thunderbolt flowing down his sword.
“Ugh!”
There was only a flash of black light, but the sword he was holding returned with an absurd amount of recoil that threatened to tear his grip apart.
The only silver lining was that the Rebound Control System barely managed to activate and destroy the sword before the rebound energy could flow into the body and scatter the blood and energy into chaos.
There is no loss as long as the weapons are replenished. The important thing is to continue the fierce offensive like a firework. For the sake of the White Dragon Corps’ morale, now is the time to take a chance. Zhuge Wujun immediately gave the order.
[ Retreat, leaving only the fire element! Cover the In (寅) and Sul (戌) sides! Push to the limit with the firepower of the Fire Bureau’s three combined formations! ]
Under the command of Zhuge Wujun, the Baekryongdae members in charge of the sheep and snake defenses retreated in unison with the protection of Kang Seon and his colleagues, and those in charge of the tiger (寅) and dog (戌) defenses took out white fans made of silver and green steel and charged into the inner camp.
And some of those who did not back down also threw away their swords, which were now just hilts, and took out a pair of fans, aiming them at Mokjin.
‘Put your sword down?’
Mokjin’s eyes twitched.
Switching weapons as naturally as flowing water was foolish in the ancient world of martial arts, where it was difficult to properly master even one weapon, except in some special cases. However, in the modern world of martial arts, where one can learn various martial arts at will thanks to the Automatic Download Interface (ADI), switching weapons during battle was a basic tactic to confuse the opponent.
The twenty-seven Baekryong members who surrounded Mokjin with a murderous spirit began to ooze out transparent heat-radiating lotion from their uniforms and cover their entire bodies.
The fire energy of the formation that will be unfolded from now on cannot even be compared to the one just before.
The word “harmony” means being drawn to each other, and it is natural that when different things come together, change occurs, and change creates movement.
The horse, the sheep, and the snake have the attribute of fire, so the three directions add fire to fire. However, the three combinations are different.
If the three directions are the formation of stillness, then the three combinations are the formation of movement.
The tiger (寅) is a tree (木), the horse (午) is a fire (火), and the dog (戌) is an earth (土) beast. These three different beasts come together to form the fire country (火局).
Just as water, lime, and sand mix to form solid cement, the secret of the Samhap is that three different but compatible properties come together to transform into one maximized whole.
The tiger (寅), the firewood from which fire is born, the dog (戌), the earthen pot that holds the fire, and the horse (午), the pure fire.
Doesn’t the fire in any kiln full of charcoal burn hotter than anything else?
Fire burns more wood, fire burns more earth, gold decays when faced with fire, you must see the iron mallet.
If there is too much fire, trees will burn and disappear, the soil will crack and crack, and if weak iron meets fire, it will melt and flow away.
In the realm of fire, where even water, the only enemy, evaporates, the flame is invincible and cannot be opposed by anything.
“Ugh······!”
Even though they are protected by special force fields and heat-dissipating lotions, the skin of the Baekryong members is turning red, and the purple flames on their fans are starting to emit pure white light. The temperature has risen to the point where the wavelengths in the visible light range are leveled out.
Although it cannot be deployed for more than twenty seconds due to the excessive heat, that amount of time is more than enough in a fight between experts.
– Gooooooo.
The roar of the white fire demon greedily devouring the atmosphere rang in his ears. Mokjin’s face hardened slightly at the unusual heat that he could feel on his skin even without directly engaging in combat.
“Whiteyang Divine Gong(白陽神功)······?”

In the distant past, before he had completed the Mukryocheonra Shingong, he was one of the few who had defeated him, the Sun God Lord. His martial arts must have been imbued with such extreme energy.
The White Flame, the name of the Sun God Army, was able to burn even the strongest of the energy compressed to the limit. Even though they had not mastered that martial art, the warriors of the Zhuge Family were displaying a similar, if not even superior, extreme yang qigong.
‘What a coincidence. I always felt regretful that I couldn’t face him again after completing the new skill.’
Although he may not be the Sun God, he is faced with a martial artist comparable to him. The corners of Mokjin’s mouth slightly curved.
Mok Jin’s martial arts uniform, which had suddenly raised its stamina, swelled up. The energy wave exploded like when he used the Mok-roe-cheon-ra-shin-gong against the Gang-mo-eo-seon-sul. However, unlike before, when he saw the black lightning gathering around Mok Jin like beads, Jegal Mu-jun reacted immediately.
‘That’s the martial arts!’
The very same martial arts that were used to overwhelmingly defeat Seocheon Sword Lord in the past streaming broadcast of Gangho Net. In theory, even if it was Ganghwan, it would be possible to gain the upper hand with Hwaguk Samhapjin, but it would be foolish to give time to deploy numerous Ganghwan in a life-and-death battle that is not a martial arts match.
[ Don’t give me time to complete the transformation! ]
“under!”
At Zhuge Wujun’s command, the Baekryongdae immediately rushed in, targeting Mokjin’s entire front.
But they were overlooking it.
This is not a fight, it is a life and death decision.
That is a saying that applies to Mokjin as well.
Is there such a thing as waiting leisurely for the opponent’s martial arts to be perfected in a life-or-death situation between masters who have gone beyond the realm of the living?
The reason why he was able to unfold his Kang-Hwan leisurely in his fight with Seocheon Sword Master was because it was entirely in the realm of martial arts.
‘······This quickly!?’
Before the Baekryongdae could even reach it, twenty-seven steel rings were created around Mokjin.
In this situation, a direct confrontation could not be avoided. Zhuge Wujun pushed forward the Baekryongdae even more boldly.
[Strike!]
The legendary martial art of ascending the level of the Dark Light Ring. And the white flames that burn everything.
The moment the two martial arts met in the air, a light and heat like a large aerial bomb exploded covered the radio.
Author’s Note
.
.
Information) The monsters that appear in the formation of the Yukhap Gongmyeong Daejin have many variations depending on the changes in the hexagrams. The monsters are not real, but are illusions created by the formation and energy, and the actual striking is the function of the formation.
Information) The amount of energy used in one cycle of attack in the Six-Hap Resonance Battleship is greater than the output of the core-class internal energy drive and even the actual reactor core mounted on a battleship. Therefore, even an absolute master with a core-class internal energy drive would be barely able to withstand a single cycle attack from the Six-Hap Resonance Battleship.
Information) The Yukhap Gongmyeong Daejin is a formation for dealing with a group of at least three absolute masters, or more than 15 S-class masters. In theory, it is possible to deal with a group of more than 100 S-class masters.
Information) Among those that Jegal Mujun and Baekryongdae faced, the ‘absolute master of the ferocious Demonic Sect’ was the Mad Dog Demon King Jack T. Russell. As his nickname suggests, he was famous for being an unrivaled idiot even in the Cheonma Sect. Just because he was bored, he traveled around the entire Shaanxi constellation and destroyed branches of the Jegal family. Since he literally only destroyed things, the number of deaths among the Demonic Sect members was relatively low. Jack T. Russell is currently imprisoned on the Brain Prison planet of the Murim Alliance.
(Information) ‘The three cunning Sapa sisters’ refer to the three sister Sapa masters, Summer, Paul, and Winter. They are young, rising masters who have mastered the absorption magic, which destroys the internal energy drive core to obtain explosive energy, to the extreme. Despite not having learned Chaeyangboeum, they mercilessly raped those they faced and uploaded videos to the Saekgok channel, which made them known as martial arts masters. Because their martial arts were so powerful thanks to the absorption magic, Baekryongdae personally intervened and put them in Brain Ok. However, because videos of people with similar appearances are periodically uploaded to the Saekgok channel, suspicions are being raised that there is some kind of deal with the upper echelons of the Murim Alliance.
(Information) The ‘Evil Black Sword Bloodhounds’ are the Red Hair Hunting Dogs, a mercenary group that dyes their hair red and handles numerous dirty jobs. They are the ones who showed off their strength especially among the mercenary groups, and they were the first enemy that the Heavenly Lord Jegal Mujun faced after taking charge of the White Dragon Group. All members of the Red Hair Hunting Dogs were killed.
Information) The white clothing worn by the Baekryong members is a combat uniform woven with ‘Qi Chromic Reinforced Fiber’, and changes color according to the flow of Qi.
Information) The Rebound Control System is a system that blocks the rebound force flowing through the weapon by spreading the weapon, or slightly neutralizes the rebound force by sending out a neutralizing wave of energy. Except for special cases like Baekryongdae, the purge function that discards weapons is not generally used.
Information) Baekryongdae usually uses swords and fans as weapons, and a pan-kwan-pil as a secondary weapon. Weapons are always supplied in sufficient quantities.
Information) When deploying the Fire Bureau Samhapjin (三合陣), the temperature of the Hyukyeomgeomgi (焱炎劍氣) used rises to over tens of thousands of degrees. Even if you deploy a heat control field, you cannot block the heat, so you apply a special heat-dissipating lotion, but even that cannot last more than twenty seconds.
Information) Mokjin once lost to the Sun God Army, the absolute master of the Sun Palace, when he was a child.
Information) When using the Mokryocheonrashinkong, it is possible to quickly develop the Ganghwan faster than the Seocheongeomhujeon. However, since the Ganghwan is not fully developed, its power tends to be reduced.
