The Heavenly Net Fairy Emerges
The warriors of the Sichuan Tang Family, who had been observing the Tang Clan Estate from afar, now descended the mountain in a surge of powerful energy and charged straight toward the family’s stronghold.
“The Heavenly Mountain Demon Lord and thirty other great masters. If all those elders from the Water Surface Unit are gone, the Tang Family will be annihilated!”
“Let’s go and extract the Tang Family’s bones!”
“Haha! I’m very interested in the Tang Family’s poisons! If I find any, I’ll reward you handsomely!”
“Where is that fool trying to sell Tang poisons for money!”
“Let’s hurry!”
Dozens of martial artists shot forward toward the Tang Family at incredible speed.
From the Tang Family, a group of warriors rushed out to meet them.
“The Tang Family is coming to greet us!”
Ching! Ching!
The approaching Tang warriors lightly tapped their bodies as they drew out their weapons and increased their speed.
Thud! Thud!
With a light shake of their bodies, the Pyeonbok Unit warriors began producing metallic sounds.
Ching! Ching! Ching! Ching!
The seals on the throwing weapons stored in their pouches had been broken.
“Kill them all!”
Accompanying the shouts of the Demonic Cult experts, Tang Mi-ryeong raised her hand to give the signal.
At that, the Tang Family experts spread out wide in a fan-like formation.
The Demonic Cult warriors charged toward the spreading Tang experts, spraying killing intent.
“Die…… uh?”
On the face of the leading Black Sand Death King, who had been shouting as he advanced, a look of surprise appeared.
The Tang experts…… were aiming metal tubes directly at them.
“The Unrestrained Cylinder!”
One of the Ten Forbidden Weapons of the Tang Clan, named for its allowance of unrestrained and wanton behavior.
“Back! Retreat!”
As he shouted, the Black Sand Death King tried to turn and flee, but needles erupted from the Unrestrained Cylinder.
Pipipipipipipit!
Accompanying the sharp sounds, dozens of throwing weapons shot toward the Demonic Cult warriors from the Unrestrained Cylinder.
“Kyaak!”
“Waaah!”
“My eyes!”
Dozens of Demonic Cult warriors had throwing weapons embedded in their eyes and bodies, and they began to collapse.
The Unrestrained Cylinder…… a throwing weapon named for its allowance of unrestrained and wanton behavior.
Normally, one could predict the direction, entrance, position, and path of a thrown weapon and avoid it.
But the Unrestrained Cylinder fired weapons in completely arbitrary directions, regardless of the entrance, and even changed direction mid-air in a bizarre manner.
Because of that, the user could not aim at a specific target and simply fired while hoping to hit something.
Although its power was great, it was classified as a forbidden weapon.
Since it fired without distinguishing friend from foe, it was unusable in open battle.
But since the factions were already clashing, that didn’t matter.
Pat!
The Black Sand Death King, retreating backward, grabbed the neck of a nearby Demonic Cult expert.
“Hah! B-Boss?”
The Black Sand Death King held his subordinate in place as a human shield in front of him.
Pipipipit!
Throwing weapons embedded in the subordinate’s body caused him to scream.
“Kyaak!”
Feeling the surge of fear through the screaming subordinate’s body, the Black Sand Death King’s face twisted.
“You madmen! Using forbidden weapons! Do you have no fear of the eyes of the martial world!”
At the Black Sand Death King’s shout, the Tang warriors remained silent.
They simply dropped the Unrestrained Cylinder and fired their throwing weapons.
Pat!
Pat!
Feeling the weapons embedded in his subordinate’s body, the Black Sand Death King charged forward.
“A throwing weapon cannot be used when close! Run toward them!”
And there was a human shield to block it.
Puff puff puuk!
The subordinate’s body had already lost all life, and only the impact of the weapons hitting was felt.
The Black Sand Death King, who hadn’t even lifted his head because he feared being hit by a weapon, suddenly pushed the subordinate with great force.
Whoosh!
“You cowardly bastards!”
The subordinate, who had grabbed him to find his own escape route, was filled with rage at the Tang Family’s weapons.
Accompanying the shout, the Black Sand Death King swung his blade with tremendous force.
Whoosh!
A mighty Sword Gang erupted from the blade, shattering the weapons raining toward him.
Pat pat pat!
In one breath, he swept the front and charged at a nearby Tang expert.
“You!”
Whoosh!
The Black Sand Death King’s Sword Gang slashed toward the Tang expert as if splitting the air.
But the Tang expert didn’t even look in that direction.
He simply fired a throwing weapon straight ahead.
Instead……
Squeak! Squeak!
A sharp sound came from behind the Black Sand Death King’s head.
“Kyuuk!”
Quickly spinning his body, the Black Sand Death King swung his blade.
Pat!
A round throwing weapon struck his blade and shattered.
This was not actually a throwing weapon.
It was a sound-producing bead that a comrade would throw in a pinch to create an opening.
Any warrior instinctively turned their body when something flew and made a sound.
“Damn it! You cowardly bastards!”
Shouting, the Black Sand Death King swung his blade toward the Tang expert he had targeted.
Before he could finish swinging, Tang Mi-ryeong appeared in front of him.
“Heavenly Net Fairy, Tang Mi-ryeong.”
The Black Sand Death King gripped his blade tightly.
And the moment Tang Mi-ryeong opened her mouth, his body shot toward her.
He did not attack while there was time to speak, but rather attacked the instant he was about to speak.
Rumble!
Accompanying the thunderous sound, the Black Tiger Blade Method swung toward her, and Tang Mi-ryeong lightly sidestepped to avoid the blade.
‘Why isn’t it hitting? Why is it hitting? It’s impossible for Tang Mi-ryeong’s martial power to be this high?’
The Black Sand Death King had fought Tang Mi-ryeong several times before.
He had been a son of the Black Sand Palace, but he had underestimated her as the Tang Family’s female leader and insulted her, creating a grudge.
At that time, Tang Mi-ryeong had been the one who came to the Black Sand Palace.
Her martial power had been completely different then and now.
Thud!
The Black Sand Death King, watching Tang Mi-ryeong evade his attack, suddenly felt both doubt and rage on his face.
The gaze of the Tang Mi-ryeong who was evading his attack was not directed at himself.
Glance!
The Black Sand Death King looked in that direction with his eyes.
There, the martial artists who had descended from the mountain were staring at this side.
And their expressions were filled with shock and fear.
‘What is this?’
The Black Sand Death King swung his blade with great force to push Tang Mi-ryeong away and quickly scanned his surroundings.
And…… his face hardened.
There were no Demonic Cult experts standing around him.
The Taicheng Ghost Lord, the First Heaven Unit, the First Sun Black Ghost……
All the Peak experts and Demonic Cult warriors who were no match for him had…… fallen.
‘When did this happen?’
It had only been a few breaths since the Unrestrained Cylinder exploded and the throwing weapon attack had struck.
How had everyone been hit in the meantime?
For a moment in his surprise, the Black Sand Death King’s body struck the ground hard.
Pat!
Then, in an instant, he began charging into the crowd of martial artists.
Tang Mi-ryeong watched the fleeing Black Sand Death King calmly.
“Unit Leader, should I pursue?”
At the unit leader’s words, Tang Mi-ryeong shook her head.
“There is no need to chase down the dead.”
At Tang Mi-ryeong’s words, the unit leader looked at the Black Sand Death King.
The Black Sand Death King was madly digging into the crowd of martial artists.
His only path to survival was to hide among them.
No matter how powerful the Tang Family was, the orthodox martial artists were there, and they would not be able to use throwing weapons.
Throwing weapons were things thrown, and once they were in the air, their eyes could not distinguish and they would hit whoever.
While the Black Sand Death King was desperately running among the martial artists, he suddenly stopped.
And……
“Haa……”
He exhaled a long breath and collapsed where he stood.
“Ascension Breath!”
“It’s the Ascension Breath!”
The Ascension Breath…… a poison named for the breath that leads to becoming a celestial being.
Once addicted, the victim dies peacefully by exhaling their life without realizing it is poison, but the victim does not feel pain and only realizes they are poisoned when it is too late to save themselves, causing them to die by exhaling their last breath.
One of the Ten Forbidden Poisons.
The reason the Tang Family classified the Ascension Breath as a forbidden poison was simply that one could only confirm addiction after death.
Because of that, even Tang Family experts who handled the Ascension Breath became addicted and died, making it a forbidden poison.
And the reason the martial artists were shocked was because both the Ten Forbidden Weapons and the Ten Forbidden Poisons had appeared in this battle.
This meant the Tang Family had lifted the ban on poisons and weapons.
“The Tang Family…… has lifted the forbidden poison.”
“The forbidden weapon…… has been removed.”
On the faces of the martial artists who understood what it meant that the Sichuan Tang Family, who had sealed their own poisons and weapons out of fear of their power, had removed them, fear appeared.
Tang Mi-ryeong, having once seen the martial artists, raised her internal energy and spoke.
“Our family does not accept outsiders at this time.”
Then, as if to warn them, she sprinkled something around.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The white powder spreading around caused the martial artists to hurriedly retreat backward.
If it was the white powder from the Tang Family, it would be ten times a poison.
Once the martial artists retreated, Tang Mi-ryeong began lightly stepping as she led the Pyeonbok Unit toward the battlefield of the Tang Family.
At that sight, the martial artists could no longer approach and retreated farther back.
***
Tang Myung was rapidly firing a throwing weapon in his hand.
Pat!
“That little rat is throwing needles from behind!”
The demonic cult warriors who had come to kill the Tang Family Head were locked in fierce battle with the Visa Unit blocking them.
Unlike the Demonic Cult experts who had been easily dealt with, the demonic warriors were veterans of countless battles and knew how to fight against the Tang Family experts who used throwing weapons.
They simply lured the Tang experts into close combat.
Because of that, the Tang experts could not use their throwing weapons comfortably.
“Kyuuk!”
Suppressing the scream, a Visa Unit expert was flung backward.
Thud!
“Uwek!”
At the sight of the Visa Unit expert spitting blood, Tang Myung’s face twisted.
“Chaengma! I will kill you!”
Shouting, Tang Myung broke through the Visa Unit experts surrounding him and charged toward Chaengma.
“Head!”
“Impossible!”
At that sight, Tang Hong and the Visa Unit experts hurriedly followed behind him.
And on Chaengma’s face, a triumphant smile appeared.
‘It’s only a late-stage expert!’
Seeing Tang Myung, who had forgotten his status as Head and was charging forward in a fit of passion, Chaengma laughed at him.
‘I will pull out the roots of the Tang Family!’
Chaengma roared and pulled his blade back before thrusting it forward and striking the ground.
“Blade Piercing Sky!”
Chaengma was a demonic warrior from the military.
Like a flash, Chaengma’s body shot toward Tang Myung.
Ssssh!
Accompanying the flash of the blade that seemed to tear through the air, a smile appeared on Tang Myung’s face.
Shiver!
At the strange smile on Tang Myung’s face, Chaengma suddenly felt something was wrong.
And……
Pat pat!
The ground suddenly shook and exploded.
“What?”
With the ground exploding, the throwing weapons that had been on the ground all sprang up.
The countless throwing weapons that had been fired while fighting the demonic warriors were all rising into the air and confronting Chaengma.
“This…… crazy……”
It had already been fired.
And…… Blade Piercing Sky was a killing move that thrust with full power and could not be stopped.
Chaengma’s body slammed into the pile of dirt and the forest of throwing weapons at the same speed as the flash.
Puff puff puff puff!
Throwing weapons floating in the air began to collide and embed themselves across Chaengma’s entire body.
Saying he moved at the speed of a flash meant they had collided at the speed of a flash.
Puff puff puff puff!
Dirt and throwing weapons exploded, and the throwing weapons stabbed Chaengma’s body in various places.
Stagger!
And Chaengma’s body, having lost balance, fell over.
Crash crash crash!
Rolling loudly across the ground, Chaengma slid to a stop.
“Keuuk!”
Chaengma’s face had turned pitch black.
All the throwing weapons that had fallen to the ground were coated with extreme poison.
Having pierced through hundreds of such weapons, he was already on the verge of death from poisoning.
Quietly, Tang Myung looked down at him.
“Kuku……”
Chaengma looked toward Tang Myung’s hand.
A silver thread was hanging from Tang Myung’s hand.
And that thread was connected to the pit he had pierced through.
“You…… pulled me in by using me as bait?”
At Chaengma’s powerless voice, Tang Myung nodded.
“The Tang Family never loses on a prepared battlefield.”
“Kuku…… To an immature kid like you…… I…… fell victim……”
With a small laugh, Chaengma spat blood and then passed away.
