Chapter 97

Yushinyun quickly ascended the stairs leading to the fifth floor as he entered the hall. During this time, no one tried to stop him. This was because all the guards protecting the hall had been deployed to deal with Yuzhiliang and Yushinyun.

Finally, Yushinyun arrived in front of the room where Yan Chianshi was waiting.

'Here it is.'

He knew this place at first glance. An immense demonic aura was pouring out from inside the room.

Squeak! Bang!

Yushinyun, who had somehow drawn his swift sword, split the door in half. With a loud noise, the door flew away, and the interior of the room was clearly revealed.

"You're late."

Yan Chianshi, seated on the throne, looked down at Yushinyun. The two men's eyes, filled with intense killing intent, clashed in the air.

In that instant, they measured each other's strength.

Yan Chianshi smiled with satisfaction upon seeing Yushinyun enter alone.

'Alone, huh. As expected, you can't control the White Bone Ghosts and the unknown monsters for long.'

Yan Chianshi, who had observed the battle between the Huangshan Sect Taoists and Yushinyun, concluded that Yushinyun was an outstanding Linghuan Taoist.

Yushinyun himself didn't seem to be a major problem. The issue was the White Bone Ghosts and the unknown monsters.

But now, those problematic creatures were not there.

In that case, this guy wouldn't even be a mouthful.

'You've walked right into the mouth of Yama.'

Yan Chianshi felt extremely confident.

On the other hand, Yushinyun was inspecting the bombs installed behind Yan Chianshi.

'...Why are these here?'

Yushinyun, who quickly identified them, frowned.

One of the horrific acts committed by the Blood Sect in another future.

The most devastating explosive device.

The Bomb Wall was perfectly installed.

Yushinyun hadn't expected this device to be inside the Nine Dragon Hall.

Seeing that Yushinyun couldn't take his eyes off the Bomb Wall, Yan Chianshi spoke with a confident expression.

"Wow! You seem to have quite a broad knowledge. Since you know what this thing is, I don't need to explain it further. If you don't leave the city within half an hour, you won't leave a trace."

This was a declaration that only half an hour remained before the Bomb Wall exploded.

However, Yushinyun didn't respond at all.

'Ha, what can you do?'

Seeing this, Yan Chianshi thought Yushinyun was thoroughly frightened and continued.

"Now, the only way for you to save your life is through me. Repent for all the sins you committed out of ignorance and submit to the God. Then, I will forgive your past atrocities..."

But at that moment,

"Ha, fuck!"

Yushinyun suddenly swore.

"Is this a cult's special trait? Why do these guys always try to sell their gods when they're about to lose?"

"......!"

Yan Chianshi, shocked by the torrent of profanity, opened his mouth wide and lost his words.

Chirp.

"I'm not buying it, you bastard!"

Yushinyun raised his middle finger and spoke.

'This, this bastard!'

Yan Chianshi's face twisted in anger.

He didn't know what the raised middle finger meant, but it made him feel inexplicably furious.

It was clearly an insult to him.

"......Fool! You've chosen your own poison!"

Swish!

He rose from his seat, gripping the pitch-black great sword that was beside the chair.

It was so large that it couldn't be called a sword, but Yan Chianshi surprisingly held the great sword with one hand.

It was a tremendous force, fitting his nickname, Black Heaven Great Sword.

Whoosh! Boom!

As Yan Chianshi summoned all his inner energy from the Black Wind Ghost Blood Technique, which he had practiced his entire life, the room began to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

"Can you really think you can defeat me?"

"Yeah, it seems too easy."

"Scum!"

Bang! Flash!

Unable to contain his anger, Yan Chianshi kicked off from the hall and lunged forward like a bolt of lightning. The floor he stepped on shattered due to the immense power.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Chianshi arrived in front of Yushinyun and struck down the great sword with the momentum of a single strike. The blade of the great sword was already emitting a pitch-black aura.

Yushinyun, not to be outdone, swung his sword, which was glowing with blue lightning.

Boom! Bang!

The moment the great sword and the sword met, a massive explosion occurred.

The battle that began showed no signs of ending.

Boom! Bang!

Every time their sword and great sword clashed, a massive shockwave poured out, wreaking havoc on the surroundings.

It was a scene like a raging storm.

However, despite the endless battle, Yan Chianshi maintained a slight advantage.

Yushinyun's lightning, which was at the intermediate stage between sword qi and sword intent, inevitably led to this result.

But strangely, while Yushinyun, who was being pushed back, had a calm expression,

'Grr!'

Yan Chianshi's face was filled with panic.

'Something's wrong! The power in his sword is getting stronger as the battle continues!'

The reason was simple. Yushinyun's sword was becoming deeper and stronger with each clash.

Whoosh! Swoosh!

At that moment, a change began in the lightning that was glowing at the tip of Yushinyun's sword. The lightning was merging into the blade, emitting a brilliant light.

Yan Chianshi, watching this, couldn't hide his confusion.

'This guy! Could he be evolving while fighting me!'

Boom! Bang!

"Ugh!"

Unable to withstand the intensified shock, Yan Chianshi took a step back.

Crash!

Yushinyun, like a mad wolf hunting its prey, lunged forward.

And at that moment,

'...No way!'

A surge of lightning was rising from Yushinyun's sword blade.

Seeing the lightning transform into a complete aura, Yan Chianshi's pupils dilated in shock.

This was impossible. To reach the same level as him at such a young age...

Is this even a believable story!

At that moment, Yushinyun's eyes sparkled as he noticed Yan Chianshi's dazed state. He didn't miss this moment of distraction.

'This is it!'

Yushinyun executed the plan he had been secretly preparing. The shadows on the floor, like those in the lake, began to ripple.

And then,

Whoosh! Flash!

"......!"

From the shadows, the skeletons equipped with Phantom Robes, which Yushinyun had hidden, appeared simultaneously.

The Phantom Robe skill had reached its maximum level, eliminating the level restriction for hiding in the opponent's shadow.

As soon as 15 elite skeletons, Qianfeng Gai, Nayue Jianxian, You Yilang, and three Huajing skeletons appeared, they unleashed their most powerful attacks on Yan Chianshi.

Moreover,

"Bone Storm!"

Yushinyun used the SS+ grade summoning skill he obtained upon reaching the 5th Circle.

As he finished speaking, a massive mist appeared in the air, and countless black bone spears began to rain down like a storm.

'What, what is this!'

Caught off guard by the surprise attack, Yan Chianshi hastily summoned his protective aura.

But he couldn't fully deploy it in such a hurry.

Dozens of sword qi.

Three sword intents.

Fragments of the Bone Storm.

The result of all these overwhelming attacks was gruesome.

Boom! Bang!

"Ugh!"

With a massive explosion that sounded like the sky breaking, Yan Chianshi was thrown against a wall.

Yushinyun, breathing a sigh of relief, looked in the direction Yan Chianshi had been thrown.

'Is it over?'

Just as Yushinyun thought this,

Bang!

The remnants of the collapsed wall burst open, revealing a bloodied Yan Chianshi.

However, he wasn't completely unscathed.

"Ugh!"

One of Yan Chianshi's arms had been severed from the shoulder.

Seeing this, Yushinyun clicked his tongue and said,

"......This is my fault. I set the flag for his resurrection."

Yushinyun's cryptic words made Yan Chianshi grind his teeth and say,

"You cowardly bastard!"

"Tsk, weaklings always cry 'coward' after they've been hit."

Yushinyun shrugged.

Just as Yan Chianshi was about to vent his anger at Yushinyun's words,

'Wait, a moment!'

He noticed something strange in the room.

Looking behind his throne, Yan Chianshi raised his voice, unable to hide his panic.

"You! What did you do to the Bomb Wall!"

Indeed, the Bomb Wall he had installed had vanished without a trace.

But Yushinyun only smiled silently without any response.

At the moment the skeletons and the Bone Storm were unleashed,

Yushinyun had instantly moved to the location of the Bomb Wall.

He then placed the three already activated Bomb Walls into a temporary pocket dimension.

Yushinyun didn't have the ability to dismantle the already activated Bomb Walls.

But his judgment that everything would stop inside the void of the pocket dimension was spot on.

'No! This way, I can't hide the traces!'

Seeing the Bomb Wall vanish, Yan Chianshi's face contorted like a demon.

If things got this twisted, even if he managed to escape, he wouldn't survive.

The Blood Sect wouldn't let him live after failing such a significant plan.

"Why! Why! Why are you stopping me, who have no connection to you!"

Yan Chianshi, filled with intense anger, shouted at Yushinyun.

Yushinyun, sneering, replied,

"I'm not stopping you. I'm stopping the Blood Sect."

"......!"

Realizing that Yushinyun knew the true nature of the Blood Sect, Yan Chianshi's face showed shock.

"Don't be disappointed. You're the beginning. I will destroy all of you who bring destruction. Yes..."

After a moment of silence, Yushinyun concluded,

"......Including the snake-eyed Sect Master."

Hearing Yushinyun mention the Sect Master, Yan Chianshi realized that Yushinyun was a much greater existence than he had thought.

Though he couldn't imagine it, he felt that his end was here.

At that moment,

'Now that it's come to this!'

"I will take your head with me!"

Yan Chianshi unleashed all his power.

Whoosh! Bang!

The heavens and earth began to pulse violently.

An immense, polluted mana, incomparable to anything he had faced before, poured out from Yan Chianshi's body.

'This is!'

The polluted mana transformed into a writhing black wave.

Crack! Bang!

Enveloped by this aura, Yan Chianshi's body began to transform into a new form.

Seeing this, Yushinyun swallowed hard.

'I didn't think he would give the power of a regular monster...'

The form that emerged was a being he knew well.

After the gate opened, in the history of his previous life, there were eight monsters known as 'Calamities.'

Terrified humans referred to them by different names.

One of the eight calamities.

- Roar!

The Executor of the Funeral.

'Balor' had descended into the present world.
