Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 32

Crimson skin all over.

Two horns protruding from his head.

And the one who uses the orbs, San-gun knew him well.

‘Why is Samgui here…’

A group that calls themselves Guisu (鬼獸) [Demon Beasts] and opposes the Taoists.

One of the Ten Ghosts (十鬼) at the pinnacle of Siphaemancheokgui is Samgui (三鬼) [Third Ghost].

From Ilgui to Sipgui [First Ghost to Tenth Ghost].

The ten Guisu are beings that despise Taoists and try to kill them. But how could such a Guisu appear in the Yeongnaesan of Ilwolmun?

It was impossible to understand.

But what was even more incomprehensible was his realm.

‘A guy who should at least be at the Yeonggeop (靈劫) [Spiritual Calamity] realm, how is he at Yeonggyeol (靈結) [Spiritual Knot]?’

But no matter how low his realm has fallen, Samgui is still Samgui. As an original Yeonggeop spirit beast, even if his training has declined, he would still devour a Biseon [Flying Immortal] of the same level.

‘I have to run away.’

He didn’t know why Samgui was here, but running away was the first priority.

Guisu are mostly hostile to Taoists.

So, he will kill all the Taoists in Yeongnaesan.

-San-gun, calm down!

San-gun stopped at Hwaran’s cry.

He was too excited.

It was even more so because of the unexpected encounter.

Samgui.

Clearly a threatening enemy.

But would that apply to him too?

He is not human.

He is a spirit beast.

And Samgui’s essence is also a spirit beast.

San-gun’s red eyes flashed.

The Taoists in front of him are three from the Taesan Sect and one from the Ice Palace. He showed his back to them, so killing them is easy.

And Mansam said.

That the Taesan Taoists would silence the Ice Palace to hide the truth about the Geumjangjitae [Golden Chapter Jade Tablet].

‘They won’t leave me alone either.’

His red eyes flickered coldly.

The Guhwan-do [Ghost Ring Knife] was already in his grasp.

As he took one step at a time, he saw the Taoists trembling.

“What….”

One of the Doseon [Taoist Adepts] who glanced back widened his eyes. At the same time.

The Guhwan-do was drawn diagonally.

The worst!

The head of the Taoist, who blinked, spun in the air.

“Y-You bastard!”

One of the Doseon shouted with a dazed look.

Soon, one of the Doseon rolled on the ground.

One of the Doseon stepped back, stepping on the ground.

It was easy to decide who to kill.

Chwaaaak!

“Aaaagh!!”

Another head flew into the air.

The ones killed were the Taesan Sect’s Doseon.

Now there are only two left.

Taechang of the Ice Palace and Gojun of Taesan.

Their faces were filled with shock.

The shock soon turned into anger.

They exchanged glances.

Just as the Doseon were about to take something out of their pockets.

San-gun threw the Guhwan-do.

Swaeeeaeaeek!

A sharp noise cut through the air.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Dosa Gojun twisted his body.

When he dodged lightly.

San-gun made a hand sign.

“Kill them.”

At the eerie voice, the Guhwan-do shook.

-Kieeeeeee!

Gwigokseong (鬼哭聲) [Ghostly Wail] erupted, and the trapped demons escaped.

“Wh, What! Let go!!”

“Dosa!!”

It was then.

A red orb with a strong vortex appeared. It soon turned into a beam of red light, creating a flash that cut across Taechang.

Shweeeeeek!

Thud!

Taechang’s head exploded.

The headless body lost its balance and fell.

“You bastard! You son of a biiiitch!!”

Gojun spat blood as he was eaten by the demons. San-gun waved his hand at the sight.

The demons devoured him in an instant and were sucked into the Guhwan-do.

“Hoo-”

Thud, thud.

The dust settled, and a red-skinned figure walked leisurely.

Samgui.

His eyes scanned San-gun.

Soon, he narrowed his eyes.

He seemed suspicious.

San-gun ran to him and knelt on one knee.

“Hoo. What is this?”

“As one in the film, I pay my respects to the King of Ghosts of Siphaemancheok [Ten Thousand Demon Domain].”

Samgui’s eyes widened.

King of Ghosts of Siphaemancheok.

“Interesting fellow.”

San-gun lowered his head silently.

Guisu are all cruel and ruthless, but that is limited to Taoists.

Unless it is for their own personal gain, they rarely kill the same spirit beast.

“What brings you here?”

“…To obtain the Geumjangjitae [Golden Chapter Jade Tablet].”

“Geumjangjitae? Hoo…. So where is that Geumjangjitae?”

San-gun hesitated a little and took out the Gongjeonggang [Offering List] from Gojun’s clothes. As he handed it over, a smile appeared on Samgui’s face.

“Indeed….”

He fiddled with the Gongjeonggang for a moment.

A hint of greed flickered in his eyes, but he soon threw the Gongjeonggang back to San-gun.

“Do you think the King of Ghosts of Siphae would steal the treasures of his subordinates? Don’t worry, I’m not such a rogue.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Then an old man approached.

He was the man he had seen before, the old man Manho who had brought San-gun here.

Manho also recognized him, widened his eyes in surprise, then hid his expression and handed the Gongjeonggang to Samgui.

“Is this all of it?”

“Y, Yes, of course!”

Samgui looked through all the Gongjeonggang he had brought and narrowed his brow.

“Strange. Where did one of my Bokchung [Treasure Pouch] go?”

San-gun, who was startled inside, pretended not to know and asked with a hardened expression.

“May I say something?”

“Speak.”

“We are still under the influence of the Hwanjin [Illusionary Formation]. The Taoists of the Ice Palace are here, so wouldn’t it be better to get out first?”

Samgui looked at San-gun strangely and chuckled.

“No, there’s no need. Do you think I, Samgui, would fear mere Doseon? I will chew on their flesh and blood, and devour their souls.”

San-gun nodded at Samgui’s fierce gaze.

“Our enemies are originally the Taoists who consider the world to be their own, aren’t they? It is only right to do this!”

Our….

As he said, Taoists only see spirit beasts as livestock to use or tools to refine their treasures.

In a way, his immeasurable obsession and anger towards Taoists was natural.

‘It’s none of my business.’

But that did not apply to San-gun.

San-gun is a being who is both human and a spirit beast.

To him, there is no difference between humans and spirit beasts.

If they harm him, he kills them.

Only such a concept was the principle he had awakened over the past 100 years.

“Let’s go, we need to clean them up first and find what’s in Yeongnaesan.”

San-gun silently followed Samgui’s steps as he fearlessly advanced through the Hwanmu [Illusionary Mist].

* * *

The center of Hwanjin [Illusionary Formation].

There, a total of four Doseon [Taoist Adepts] were guarding the place. Three female immortals from the Ice Palace, excluding Baengnyeon who was wearing a bamboo hat.

“Why can’t I see Senior Brother Tae?”

One of the female immortals said, trembling with anxiety.

“Well. The Hwanjin [Illusionary Formation] is already out of our hands, and Senior Brother is not showing himself… you better prepare yourself.”

She said with a determined look, swallowing hard and becoming nervous.

The tightening whirlwind was tearing their clothes like a blade.

They were forcibly blocking it with a protective shield, but they couldn’t just sit still forever.

“Disciple Baengnyeon! Is there any way?”

“You ask what you shouldn’t ask. How would a junior sister who hasn’t even entered the Taoist world for a few years know?”

“B, But still! You never know! Or are we just going to stay here and die until the protective shield breaks? Senior Sister Yeon doesn’t have a solution either, does she!”

The woman called Senior Sister Yeon was silent.

She was right.

Now that the senior brother was gone, Senior Sister Yeon was the highest level here, but she didn’t have any particular plan.

She was hoping that the senior brother would appear, but seeing that he hadn’t appeared even though things had come to this point, it was time to give up hope.

“Why wouldn’t I know that? Since there is no suitable solution, it’s time to wait for someone to come. I felt the presence of other Taoists in the Hwanjin [Illusionary Formation], so if we join them….”

It was then.

One of the women pointed to the sky with a joyful look and shouted.

“S, Senior Sister! Someone is coming!”

“Could it be Senior Brother?”

In the midst of the swirling whirlwind, three figures swayed beyond the curtain of wind.

The faces of the female immortals bloomed brightly, but it was only for a moment.

“Junior sisters, get out of the way!!”

Kwagagagagak!!

Two red orbs flew, smashing the ground.

“Kyaaaaaaak!!”

“Disciple!!”

The others dodged, but one person couldn’t avoid it and was hit directly.

The position was not good.

She couldn’t avoid it and was caught in the vortex of Ryugokja [Six Desires Orb].

Soon, a thick bloody scent settled down.

Thud, thud!

The pieces of flesh scattered and fell were so fragmented that it was hard to believe they were once human.

The faces of the female immortals turned pale.

“Wh, Who are you!”

A loud voice as if shouting.

But it was clearly terrified.

Samgui, who couldn’t possibly not know that, drew a smile on his lips and said.

“What would you do knowing? You’ll soon be entering my stomach anyway.”

“Yosu (妖獸) [Demon Beast]!”

But it was already too late.

At the same time as Samgui’s fingers moved, Ryugokja [Six Desires Orb] once again created a vortex and rushed towards them.

Samgui’s Bogu (寶具) [Mystic Treasure] Ryugokja [Six Desires Orb].

How could Doseon [Taoist Adepts] stop it?

Like those who died before, they too will be erased by Samgui’s tyranny.

It was a pity, but that was all.

There is no righteousness (義) [sense of duty] to help them.

If he did, he would die right away, so how could he do that?

It was then.

A small Doseon [Taoist Adept] wearing a bamboo hat took out a sword hanging from his waist.

The transparent sword body was as beautiful as if it were made of ice.

Holding a sword that emitted a subtle chill, the Doseon moved his lips and stuck the sword into the ground.

Saaaaaa.

Soon the ground froze white.

Not only that.

As she moved her lips as if constantly chanting spells and made hand signs, icebergs suddenly soared from the ground.

Kagagagagagak!!

Ryugokja [Six Desires Orb] and the iceberg collided.

But it seemed insufficient to stop Ryugokja [Six Desires Orb] with that.

“Disciple Baengnyeon! Pay attention to maintaining the Hwanjin [Illusionary Formation]!”

“Yes, Senior Sister!”

Two female immortals, excluding Baengnyeon, made hand signs and placed their palms on the ground.

Then the Hwanmu [Illusionary Mist] became thicker and the surrounding temperature dropped exponentially.

Then Baengnyeon also quickly moved her hands and touched the floor.

It was then.

Around her, the cold air fluctuated and suddenly turned into white flames.

The white burning flames burned as if they were not of this world.

Baengnyeom soon swelled up, and the iceberg blocking Ryugokja [Six Desires Orb] blazed.

An iceberg burning white.

Ryugokja [Six Desires Orb], who was fiercely colliding with its power, seemed to be losing its strength.
