Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 430

Nangseon Gi Hwan Dam – Part 2, Chapter 139

“Inside my daughter’s womb…”

Baek Jeol-samu thought he had lost his mind.

Not only was it the most absurd nonsense, but even if it were true, how could he even conceive of creating such a labyrinth inside his own daughter’s womb and doing all sorts of things?

But whether he was sane or not, the situation was turning for the worse.

Whether his words were true or not, the space here was changing.

The sight of large and small centipedes swarming towards her was not pleasant even as a joke, and the fact that the poison they emitted filled the surroundings could not be taken lightly.

Wasn’t it because of that poison that she had unfolded the Jangseo Danse [a protective technique], sacrificing a thousand years of time and training, only to barely come back to life?

“For a divine messenger of the Water Realm to cowardly use poison!”

At her words, Cheonbeom laughed as if dumbfounded.

“You’re more naive than you look.”

To survive in the world of cultivators, it is right to use every card you can.

If you need to use poison to live, you must handle even the deadliest of poisons.

That is the world where you survive.

“I don’t think we need to exchange many words. I had no intention of harming you, a Hyangseon [a celestial being] of the Seon Palace, but I must avenge my subordinates who were made to look like this.”

It would be easier to just let it go, but wouldn’t his heart be heavy if he did?

They were people who risked their lives for him, so he should rightfully repay them.

‘From the start, this place is inside Tamhwa’s womb.’

It was a place that slightly utilized the space divine power that his daughter had created in her womb.

If you’re going to fight someone, shouldn’t you win in advance before fighting?

In this place, no matter who comes, Cheonbeom was confident he would not lose.

“It’s my first time fighting with a clear mind, so please teach me a thing or two.”

There were many things he wanted to ask her.

Cheonbeom couldn’t help but ask about the Baekyo Clan and the hairpin adorning her head.

‘She really does resemble her.’

The more he looked, the more she resembled her.

When Cheonbeom, who had regained his senses after the Salgeop [a trial or tribulation], first saw Baek Jeol-samu.

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

But he soon realized it wasn’t her.

The atmosphere she exuded was different, and the intonation in her speech was different, and decisively, the scent was different.

It is said that when one becomes a Hyangseon, a deep and pure scent like that of pine trees emanates from the body, but he was not so far gone that he couldn’t recognize the scent of his wife, whom he had known for so long.

Since Cheonbeom was both a divine messenger of the Water Realm and a Salseon [a being who has undergone a specific transformation] who had disturbed the Hon Realm, it was right to kill her to silence her.

But she resembled her too much.

That’s why he hesitated.

‘Should I subdue her first?’

Subduing is twice as difficult as killing. But this place is advantageous to him, so it’s worth a try.

“Go.”

First, he sends the centipede clones that Tamhwa created.

“Hmph!”

Then, Baek Jeol-samu fluttered her sleeves and scattered hundreds of needles, and the centipedes that touched the needles all froze and died.

Moreover, she used the threads connected to the needles to collect them again and indiscriminately scattered them, so even though they were small needles, they could not be ignored.

‘It won’t be easy to subdue her.’

Cheonbeom is now a complete Hyangseon, but Baek Jeol-samu is a skilled one even among Hyangseons.

It would be difficult to subdue her with simple methods. With clumsy tricks, he might even be turned around.

“I shouldn’t be complacent.”

It’s right after barely finishing the Salgeop.

Reckless actions could lead to unexpected death.

Beom raised a drop of blood on the still unhealed wound on his palm.

Hwahyeol [a potent blood essence], created by gathering several Beophyeol [blood with magical properties].

Hwahyeol containing powerful energy.

It contains not only the Hwagi [fire energy] of Geumcheon Jihwa, but also the mysteries contained in the blood of various Beophyeol, and the condensed Wonki [original energy] is considerable.

Cheonbeom approached Baek Jeol-samu, who was busy dealing with the centipedes.

Then, without fail, sharp needle Beopgis [energy infused needles] flew towards him as well.

Tae Tae Taeng!

“…!”

But in front of Cheonbeom was a transparent hexagonal defensive Beopgi.

Hyeongak Bulgoe [a defensive formation] was in place.

“Hyeong…gak Bulgoe? How do you have that!”

“It just happened.”

When he came to his senses, there were several things in Gongjeonggang [a specific location or state of being].

One of them was Hyeongak Bulgoe.

Old habits die hard.

Even Cheonbeom at the time of the Salgeop couldn’t get rid of the habits left in his body.

Of course, he hasn’t completely Yeonhwa-ed [refined/mastered] Hyeongak Bulgoe yet, so its power is weak and he can’t wield it freely.

Even now, it couldn’t completely block Baek Jeol-samu’s needle Beopgi.

There were many places with holes halfway through.

But if he completely Yeonhwa-ed it and increased its number with Sawol Jehang [a specific technique], no matter how great the Beopgi, it would not be able to penetrate even Cheonbeom’s Hyeongak Bulgoe.

Moreover, when he grabbed the needle and connected it to the flame, Baek Jeol-samu was startled by the seductive energy of the golden Hwasintong [a divine flame] and cut off the connection with the Beopgi.

If that were to stick to her, she was sure that she would not be able to extinguish it with anything.

“Keuek!”

Baek Jeol-samu couldn’t help but lament.

The centipedes kept appearing from somewhere and endlessly swarmed in, and even as they died, they emitted poison, tormenting her.

Moreover, Cheonbeom, who could be said to be the culprit, simply deflected her Beopgi and was only watching as if it were a fire across the river, so it felt like a fire was burning inside her.

This won’t do.

A wind is needed to turn the situation around.

Baek Jeol-samu soon began to move her lips and chant Seonmun [a celestial incantation], and at the same time as she flew the needle Beopgi, she formed a Sugyeol [a hand seal].

It was surprisingly fast, precise, and without any unnecessary movements.

“Is it a Hwan Gye [an illusionary realm]?”

That’s an accurate judgment.

If the situation is not favorable to you, it is the right decision to start by changing the situation itself.

Certainly, the Seons [celestial beings] of the Seon Gye [celestial realm] seem to be more accustomed to combat than the Sus [practitioners] of the Su Gye [water realm].

Well, unlike the Su Gye, it’s a place that’s constantly at war, so it might be natural.

Swish!

She took out several flags from her bosom and set them up around her, preparing to unfold the Hwan Gye.

The flag seemed to be her Jinbeopgi [formation flags], and as it built a formation to create a Hwan Gye, Baek Jeol-samu’s figure, standing in the center, became increasingly blurred.

But.

“It would have worked if it weren’t for me.”

Unfortunately, this level of Hwan Gye does not work on Beom.

As soon as Cheonbeom opened his eyes wide, the pupils of Danryeong Geumjeong [a specific eye technique] unfolded and the Six Gates opened, instantly piercing through the Hwan Gye.

He could also see her figure hidden in the arranged Jinbeopgi and the subtle illusion.

He took out a two-bladed spear from his bosom.

Ssangmyeol [a twin bladed spear].

The feeling was quite different from when he was a Sangseon [a higher celestial being].

Now he could draw out the power of Ssangmyeol several times stronger.

Chijijijik, Chijik!!

Purple lightning surged.

Bulcheonbulbyeok [a powerful artifact] vibrated, releasing lightning as if excited.

Soon, he threw Ssangmyeol in one breath.

Swaaaaaeeeeeek!!

Chwajijijijik!!

The Hwan Gye distorted and Baek Jeol-samu’s figure appeared.

“Kyaaaaak!”

Kwaaaang!!

Tap.

Cheonbeom, who shook off his Mubok [dust] with emotionless eyes, waited for the rising dust to settle.

After a while, what appeared as the dust settled was Baek Jeol-samu, dripping silver blood.

Her left arm seemed to have been torn off by Ssangmyeol, and it was nowhere to be seen.

Her face was contorted as if in great pain.

The blood flowing from her arm, as well as the blood flowing from her mouth, was also silver.

It was an impressive color, but it was not something that Beom would be interested in.

Beom, who was barely standing while holding his arm, approached Baek Jeol-samu and took out the hairpin stuck in her head.

As he took out the hairpin that had been stuck in her hair, her neatly arranged hair was released.

A hairpin made of pure white peach wood with a blue jewel embedded in it.

A hairpin made of peach wood is not the only one in the world.

That’s why he couldn’t be sure.

But the decoration of the hairpin, with a blue jewel embedded in it, can be said to be the only one in this world.

When he brought his hand to the jewel embedded in Domojam [the hairpin], a blue flame soared up.

It was the flame of Bongak Cheonghwa [a specific type of flame].

“So it’s true….”

He had hoped it wasn’t.

His heart was pounding violently.

He tried to maintain his composure, but it didn’t work.

The intent to kill kept bursting out.

The desire to tear the person in front of him to pieces overwhelmed him.

“Where did you get this?”

But Baek Jeol-samu did not answer.

In an instant, a small dagger was caught in her one remaining hand and stabbed towards Beom.

But that was impossible.

In an instant, he twisted her wrist, and the sound of bones shattering was clear.

Poof.

The dagger fell to the floor, and Baek Jeol-samu’s wrist was twisted grotesquely.

“Answer me.”

Even so, she does not answer.

Tuck!

When he grabbed her neck, her face, covered by white hair, was visible.

She was smiling unpleasantly.

“What’s so funny?”

She chuckled and suddenly asked.

“Will you spare me if I tell you?”

“I will spare you. I can even swear on Simma [a sacred oath]. From the beginning, I had no intention of killing you.”

Then she began to sneer fiercely.

When he asked what was so funny.

“I, Baekmu of the Baekyo Clan. Baek Jeol-samu does not beg for her life, even if the opponent is truly the sky!!”

Poof!

“What…!”

Suddenly, she stabbed her own body.

He wondered what trick she was playing, but it wasn’t.

As a cultivator, he could tell.

She had shattered her own Wonyuk [core essence].

“You’re crazy. I had no intention of killing you! Isn’t your life precious to you!!”

But Baek Jeol-samu laughed at Cheonbeom and vomited blood.

“You’re foolish, there’s something more precious to me than my life.”

Whether that was her belief or her pride, only she could know.

“You’re foolish….”

“But I have no regrets. You’ll never find the owner of that hairpin for the rest of your life!! Hahahahahahaha!!”

Damn it.

Cheonbeom immediately tried to grab her soul, but it was already too late.

Along with Wonyuk, her soul had long since faded and been torn apart.

Thud.

Absurdly, Baek Jeol-samu, who had once dominated an era, was gone in vain.

He was taken aback.

To think she would take her own life.

“Is this the first time?”

This was the first time such a thing had happened since he had set foot in cultivation.

No matter how great they were, most of those who had their lives threatened would put down their pride.

Most of those whose lives Cheonbeom had taken were like that.

“Is the Upper Realm different?”

Is it because they were born as Seons from birth and devoted themselves to cultivation?

Perhaps it is because they live eternal life.

“Haa, damn it.”

His head was complicated.

Baek Jeol-samu had gone like that, but Domojam in his hand was fine.

“I don’t know if she’s dead or alive, so what should I do with this….”

It’s definitely Choa’s.

Judging from what Baek Jeol-samu had, she might be dead.

It was earlier than he thought, but Choa also had extraordinary qualities, so she might have succeeded in ascending to Seon and ascended to the Seon Gye.

That’s how she met Baek Jeol-samu, and somehow she gave Domojam to her….

“…It doesn’t make sense.”

He pressed his temples.

Cheonbeom glanced at the corpses of the Baekyo Clan Sus around him.

They had pure white hair and blue eyes.

They had the same appearance as Choa.

‘Baekyo Clan….’

Finding them was the priority.
