Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 34

Like a shooting star, San-gun’s Guhwan Blade clashed against Ryugokja.

Instantly, sharp explosions erupted.

The vortex created by Ryugokja swirled around San-gun, creating a whirlwind.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!!

It was then.

The illusionary formation of Ohyukchohak [Five-Colored Weasel Illusion Formation] narrowed in around the Samgui and San-gun, who were locked in battle.

A swirling gale, dancing erratically, created an intense green vortex that enveloped them.

The bastards who were watching for an opening had appeared!

They were obviously planning to eliminate the Samgui and San-gun at once.

“How dare you…!”

He glared at San-gun and formed a hand seal with his remaining hand.

Then, the illusionary formation of Ohyukchohak trembled, and a red aura began to rise.

He had reactivated the Ice Palace’s illusionary formation using the layered formation attached to the Gyeonghwan Stone [a magical artifact used to control formations].

“Do you think I’ll let you!”

San-gun had created this situation.

He wouldn’t just stand by and watch the illusionary formation fall into the bastard’s hands.

San-gun twisted the Guhwan Blade.

Ryugokja was knocked away, and he threw the instantly blazing Guhwan Blade.

As it flew like a blue streak of light, the Samgui grimaced.

Kkigigigik!!

The Samgui instantly inflated his horns to block the Guhwan Blade!

“If you leave it alone, you won’t be safe either! Are you interfering knowingly!”

“If you eat it, I’ll die anyway!”

The whirlwind, which was gradually narrowing in, did not distinguish between friend and foe.

From the moment he struck the Samgui, he had hoped for the situation to descend into chaos. Although he had cut off the bastard’s arm, the situation had not yet tipped in his favor.

Moreover, the Samgui had an eternity of existence. It was only natural to assume he might be hiding some secret technique.

“Think carefully! The Ohyukchohak are inherently violent and will ravage and devour those trapped in the illusionary formation! But if it were me, I would kill you all at once, so wouldn’t it be better for me to take control of the illusionary formation!”

What nonsense is he spouting so fluently? San-gun was dumbfounded.

“Bullshit!”

Young Miss Yeon threw two Youngseong Talismans [talismans imbued with youthful energy] at the Samgui and took out a square mirror from her pocket.

The talismans emitted light and transformed into polygonal ice. Their size reached several spans, large enough to easily crush a person.

The transparent ice spun in the air, and a beam of light shot from Yeon Nangja’s [Young Miss Yeon’s] mirror towards the ice.

As the beam entered, it caused diffuse reflection, scattering in all directions.

Kwakwakwakwang!

As dozens of beams of light shot out, the area where the Samgui was located froze white.

It was a sufficiently threatening divine power for a Doseon [a Taoist immortal]. Most Doseons would not be unscathed by that attack.

But.

“Making a snowfield is as unimpressive as ever, whether now or then.”

Despite the tremendous divine power, the Samgui was unharmed. A red protective barrier and two flying swords leisurely orbited around him.

“How can this be!”

The color drained from Young Miss Yeon’s face.

San-gun clicked his tongue and rushed in.

The suddenly appearing flying sword was Ryugokja transformed. It was now containing an even stronger energy than before.

‘The Guhwan Blade should be able to handle it.’

The Samgui ignored the female immortal and ceaselessly chanted spells, but San-gun interfered.

Swinging the Guhwan Blade as he charged, there was no way he could do as he pleased.

The protective barrier that had blocked the Doseon’s attack could not easily block San-gun’s Guhwan Blade.

As the protective barrier was torn, the Samgui gnashed his teeth and lengthened his fingernails.

Kang! Kaang!

In the midst of the fierce confrontation, eight green vortexes of the illusionary formation appeared and swirled around.

There’s no time.

If they delayed any longer, the Ohyukchohak’s illusionary formation would devour everyone!

“You little gnats!”

Swish!

He sent Ryugokja flying and blocked San-gun’s Guhwan Blade with his bare hands.

Ryugokja flew towards Young Miss Yeon.

Young Miss Yeon, her eyes wide like a rabbit’s, raised her mirror. Just as light was about to burst from the mirror again.

Kwajak! Pook!

Ryugokja shattered the mirror and pierced through her body.

“S-Sajeo [Senior Disciple]!!”

As Young Miss Yeon collapsed powerlessly, San-gun also tasted bitterness.

‘He’s gotten faster.’

Ryugokja had transformed into the form of a flying sword and become even more powerful. It was incomprehensible how a mere flying sword could tear a person’s body apart.

Plop, plop plop.

Then, suddenly, the sound of water was heard.

No, the sound of water droplets would be more accurate.

Turning his head, he saw Baekryeon, her white hair fluttering, floating a sword in the air.

What was strange was that water droplets were rising one by one from the transparent blade. The transparent water droplets were soon scattered around her, and hundreds and thousands of large and small water droplets were gathering.

To that extent, the Samgui’s expression sank deeply. They looked like mere water droplets on the surface, but the chill contained in each one seemed different from anything seen so far.

Then, the Samgui sent Ryugokja flying towards Baekryeon. The two flying swords, piercing through the air, surged fiercely.

Then, hundreds of water droplets gathered beside Baekryeon rushed in.

Peopeopeopeopeong!!

The moment Ryugokja and Baekryeon’s water droplets collided, they detonated in a chain reaction, explosively releasing a pure white chill.

It was enough to cool the air around Yeongnae Mountain. As the extreme chill scattered in all directions, even San-gun shivered.

When the chill subsided, what was visible was the Samgui’s Ryugokja trapped in an ice wall in front of Baekryeon.

Baekryeon’s face was as white as paper. She seemed to have poured a considerable amount of spiritual power to hold Ryugokja in place.

“If I only regain my strength, you’re nothing!”

At that moment when the Samgui was furious.

“Hmph!”

The relaxed expression disappeared, and she formed a hand seal and shouted. Baekryeon’s ice wall shook violently and cracked!

But Baekryeon didn’t just stand still.

She immediately plunged the transparent blade into the ice wall, and even that wasn’t enough, she threw in a talisman as well.

“You bastards!”

The Samgui exclaimed in anger and suddenly pierced his temple with his finger.

“Heuaaaaaaa!!”

As he unleashed his energy to the point where his uvula was visible, red spiritual power exploded in all directions.

San-gun also frowned.

“Kuaaaaaaaak!!”

Then, the Samgui, engulfed in a red aura, screamed. He was transforming into a complete monster.

Covered in a terrifyingly ferocious energy, he transformed into a burly demon. His size had swelled several times its original size.

‘He’s increasing his realm?’

He didn’t know what method he used, but he seemed to be raising his realm.

If he wasn’t mistaken, he was one step away from spiritual enlightenment.

Since he was originally an eternal spirit beast, he must have been trying to raise his realm with some secret technique.

“Do you think I’ll let you!!”

He absolutely couldn’t let him. San-gun completely extracted the Bongak Cheonghwa [Blue Spirit Fire of the Sealed Valley] from his dantian [energy center] and launched the Guhwan Blade.

[Kkiaaaaa!]

The screams of the huge ghosts, deafeningly loud, spread for thousands of miles. The flames of the Bongak Cheonghwa soared high into the sky as if to burn everything.

Nearby, the vortex of Ohyukchohak was close at hand.

San-gun clicked his tongue and took out the Bumu Sword.

He used it to blur his appearance and unleashed the Myongeunsul [Art of Concealment] to its extreme.

Even Ohyukchohak would have a hard time noticing him easily. And their illusionary formation would be directed at the Samgui.

“I am the Samgui!! The Samgui who holds the position of three (三) in Siphaemancheok [Ten Thousand Demon Ranks]!!”

Kooong!

His spiritual pressure crushed the surroundings.

The bastard’s huge hand, which had grown to 9 feet, wrapped around the Guhwan Blade. The Bongak Cheonghwa instantly transferred to the bastard’s hand and devoured him.

Then, the vortexes of Ohyukchohak narrowed in together. The eight fiercely rotating vortexes rushed towards where the Samgui was.

Soon, the Samgui’s screams echoed, and the Ohyukchohak revealed themselves.

They were beasts resembling weasels.

Twenty Ohyukchohak appeared and quickly circled around the Samgui.

They didn’t seem to care about San-gun and the female immortals.

‘It’s done!’

The Samgui, buried in the huge vortex, roared at the blue flames and green vortexes that were devouring him.

The Guhwan Blade, which he had been holding, was knocked away and rolled on the ground.

The bizarre movements of the Ohyukchohak transformed the green vortex into a more powerful one.

The rotation rate became even more violent.

But that was then.

The Samgui, whose huge form could be seen inside the vortex, grabbed the horn protruding from his head and snapped it off.

Pudeuk!

Then, he swung it.

Chwaak!

A crescent-shaped sword energy, so intense it seemed to split the heavens and the earth, flew in all directions.

Kwajajajajajak!!

Sword energy rampage!

He didn’t know what kind of divine power it was, but the power it possessed was too great.

The Ohyukchohak, which had been circling around, were cut in half by the sword energy and instantly died.

At that intense sight, San-gun unknowingly swallowed hard.

Cold sweat trickled down his spine.

But the Samgui’s horn suddenly turned to dust and disappeared.

It seemed that he had exploded and used the spiritual power that had been gathered in the horn all at once.

It was fortunate, if anything.

But the bastard had one more horn left.

If the bastard broke his horn again, he wouldn’t be able to block that indiscriminate sword energy.

“You goddamn bastards!!”

The Samgui’s whole body was sharply cut.

His face and body were tattered.

It was a hideous sight. Nevertheless, his intense murderous aura remained unchanged.

He was so tenacious that San-gun clicked his tongue.

“Kulk…!”

Then, the Samgui suddenly grabbed his head and frowned. The madness of the Gwangnyeong Herb [a potent, mind-altering herb] he had inhaled earlier must have risen!

The opportunity was now.

-San-gun. Do as I tell you!!

San-gun, nodding his head, silently looked at Baekryeon and took out a talisman from his pocket.

It was a blue Youngseong Talisman.

He slammed it into the diagram at once and ignited the Bongak Cheonghwa.

Hwareureuk!

Kkiaaaaaak!

The Samgui’s complexion distorted at the screams of the ghosts. Regardless, San-gun floated the Guhwan Blade into the air and formed a hand seal.

The temperature, which had dropped due to Baekryeon’s divine power, soared at once. His lips were dry and his skin was stinging.

But it didn’t stop there.

San-gun took out the Bumu Sword and sent it next to the Guhwan Blade.

Then, the Bumu Sword suddenly trembled and began to emit light.

And it melted and seeped into the Guhwan Blade. The Guhwan Blade spewed out an even more intense evil energy and aura, which was possible because it sent the Bumu Sword’s spiritual energy to the Guhwan Blade.

‘It’s done.’

It was a waste of the Bumu Sword, but he had to endure this much to kill the Samgui for sure.

‘Hwaran knew about this kind of secret technique.’

With this, the Guhwan Blade temporarily became a divine treasure. With this, he might be able to kill the bastard.

At that moment, the Samgui was opening his mouth and spewing out a red aura.

There were dozens of red demons.

San-gun struck the Guhwan Blade with his palm.

Kang! As the sound rang out, the Guimu [Ghostly Aura] exploded out and collided with the Samgui’s demons.

But this alone cannot kill the bastard.

The Bongak Cheonghwa was attached to the bastard’s body, but the Samgui was enduring it.

Not only that.

He was grabbing his head, controlling the demons, and guarding himself.

He was an enemy, but he had the will to admire.

San-gun gripped the Guhwan Blade with both hands. The Guigwang [Demon Light] of Siphae was not easy to deal with, even though his realm had lowered.

The huge demon, engulfed in blue flames, was melting flesh and pouring out blood, but his momentum did not die.

As they say, even a rotten crucian carp is still crucian carp [even in decline, a master retains some skill].

“Kueuk, aren’t we the same spirit beasts! Do you believe that your life will continue by clinging to a human bastard!”

The Samgui’s eyes flashed.

San-gun felt a strange sense of unease for a moment.

Humans change easily.

The emotions of humans, who live only for a fleeting moment, cool down after only a few years.

Only humans tend to be like that.

A different existence from the unchanging spirit beasts.

The Samgui was talking about that.

-Focus your mind! It’s a bewitching technique!

San-gun’s mind was immediately set right by Hwaran’s shout. Before he knew it, the Samgui had come close to him.

‘Damn it!’

San-gun raised the Guhwan Blade.

It was then.

Swish!

With a sound piercing through the wind.

Pook!!

“Keuk!”

A transparent blade shone faintly and pierced into the Samgui’s side. Suddenly, a chill exploded from the bastard’s side.

The Samgui’s body tilted.

That brief gap.

There was no way he would miss that gap.

“Heuaaaaaaab!!”

San-gun plunged the Guhwan Blade into the bastard’s chest. The sensation of piercing through and destroying the Samgui’s muscles and bones flowed through his grip.

The Bongak Cheonghwa, as if waiting for this moment, entered the bastard’s body.

Then, the bastard’s complexion changed rapidly.

“Aaaaaaak!! No! Noooo!! Just! Just by you bastards!!”

The blue flames that had penetrated into his body were burning everything from the inside out.

The pain must have been indescribable.

The desperate screams told of the pain the bastard was experiencing.

The huge demon screamed as if uttering his last words.

The more he did, the more vigorously the Bongak Cheonghwa burned every part of the bastard’s body.

Soon, blue flames soared from the bastard’s mouth, illuminating the surroundings in blue.

The black blade piercing through the bastard’s chest.

The blood pouring out and the Bongak Cheonghwa covering his entire body.

Looking at them, San-gun shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Just dieeeeeee!!”
