#293: The Warning Is Given Only Once. (3) — Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter

A chaotic battle began from three directions.

Yu Jinsan was fighting two extreme demons, the Villa Chief Meng Nam-cheon took one, and the remaining one was being held off by the Yu family’s leaders from Soyo Mountain Villa.

But this balance would not last long.

Before the leaders fell, Yu Jinsan had to subdue one first.

‘From now on it’s purely a battle of time.’

He moved his spear like a madman and continued a fierce clash against the two.

Kwang-! Kwang-!! Kwangwang-!!

The Dragon Slaying Spear locked with two swords and spat lightning without pause.

Despite being outnumbered, Yu Jinsan did not retreat an inch.

However, victory and defeat were not being decided easily.

Above all, it was his first time fighting extreme demons. And there were two of them.

The vicious and ever-changing demonic arts were cunning in technique, making them hard to adapt to.

Some time passed like that.

“Guh!”

“H-hurry, please!”

It was the leaders of Soyo Mountain Villa.

At their urgent plea, Yu Jinsan’s gaze darkened.

‘This is no time to hold back.’

He intended to forcefully subdue one first.

The Dragon Slaying Spear made a large rotation and swept the enemies left and right.

Kwang-!!

At that moment Yu Jinsan’s feet moved dizzyingly as he stepped his footwork.

Then his divine shape multiplied into dozens of clones and began to glide like the wind.

It was the Yu family’s Whirlwind Step.

Sssssk-!

Breaking out of the encirclement, he slipped to the flank of the extreme demon on the right and thrust his spear.

The Dragon Slaying Spear, laced with a crimson spear force, cut the wind and advanced like a beam of light.

Startled by the ferocious offense, the opponent hastily thrust his sword to meet it.

Then the black demonic aura spewing from the sword tip met the spear force and they exchanged blows.

Kwang-!!

Overwhelmed by the difference in inner power, the extreme demon staggered and retreated. It would be waiting for its comrade.

But Yu Jinsan was not one to let this chance pass.

‘I must finish this now.’

Yu Jinsan plunged toward his opponent’s chest as if his life depended on it.

Kwang-! Jjeoeng-!! Kwakwang-!!

It was the rushing technique of the Yu Family Wind Slaying Spear, the Wind-Linked Assault Formation.

The opponent could not regain composure against the tenacious onslaught of the Dragon Slaying Spear.

If he pressed on like this, it wouldn’t be long before it ended.

But his comrade was not going to just stand and watch.

As expected, another extreme demon was rushing in from behind.

‘Oh? I knew you’d come like that.’

At that moment the qi of the Muscle Changing Technique flared through Yu Jinsan’s whole body.

As the unparalleled supreme Shaolin divine skill unfolded, his momentum instantly grew several times fiercer.

On top of that he drove the Vajra Indestructible Divine Arts to full fury.

He did it to buy time with his body and seize an opportunity.

Abandoning defense he charged, and the opponent faltered in great confusion. Apparently they hadn’t expected such a move.

“…Gah.”

Locking eyes with the extreme demon before him, Yu Jinsan curled one corner of his mouth.

It was the Yu Family Wind Slaying Spear’s eighth form, Fierce Dragon Fang Head (猛龍牙頭) — a technique meant to finish with a single killing blow.

The ferocious dragon maw forged from vital force advanced as if to swallow his foe.

The staggering extreme demon desperately thrust out a sword, spewing black demonic aura like a waterfall.

But perhaps because the defense was made from an unstable stance, it was insufficient to block Yu Jinsan’s full-strength attack.

Jjeoeng-!!

The sword blade, unable to hold sufficient internal qi, snapped against the spear force and flew away.

At that moment the dragon’s tooth that followed bit into the opponent’s neck and tore it apart.

Pook-!!

The plan had succeeded. He had killed one of the two he was facing.

But now it was time to pay the price for that.

Yu Jinsan gritted his teeth and braced for the impact from behind.

Jjeoeong-!!

The moment the extreme demon’s sword struck his back, a golden current of qi burst forth there.

Fortunately his body wasn’t pierced, but the impact registered as internal injury.

“Ugh!”

Blood rose in his throat, but there was no time to hesitate.

Yu Jinsan swiftly twisted his torso to avoid further attacks.

Paaang-!!

Redirecting the extreme demon’s sword, he urgently sent the Dragon Slaying Spear toward the flank.

The target was not the extreme demon that had attacked from behind.

Whirrr-!!!

The Dragon Slaying Spear, flying fiercely somewhere, was heading toward where the leaders were.

It was because their lives were hanging by a thread.

The one who was about to plunge his sword into Cheol-woong’s body hurriedly switched offense and knocked the spear aside.

Kaang-!!

In the life-or-death moment the leaders could barely catch their breath.

At that moment, Yu Jinsan retrieved the deflected spear and shouted.

“Leave this to me and go help the Villa Chief!”

Panting, the leaders widened the distance and searched for the Villa Chief.

Meng Nam-cheon was locked in a fierce battle with another extreme demon about ten paces away.

His battered body, not yet healed, fought with all its might, wearing an air of grim determination.

In any case, this was not a time to merely watch.

They had to join forces to tip the balance.

“Hold on just a little longer.”

The three leaders moved to assist the Villa Chief.

And Yu Jinsan, left alone, had to continue the fierce fight against two extreme demons.

But the situation was different from before.

His movements were somewhat slowed from internal injury.

‘I don’t know how long I can hold out, so finish this quickly.’

Meng Nam-cheon must defeat the enemy before he collapses.

If that happened, they could secure a decisive advantage.

Somewhere on Giaek Mountain a completely different scene was unfolding.

Heaven and earth shook as a violent gale swept endlessly.

Kwachik-! Jjeok-!! Jjeojeok-!!

Trees were snapping and rocks were flying. All caused by just two people.

The Heterodox factions’ supreme Yin Monster who dominated the western and southern martial world.

And his opponent was Yeom Hwi, Cult Leader of White Flower Blood cult, who had routed the so-called Eastern martial world’s strongest, the Storm Rider.

They clashed fiercely as if dragon and white tiger were contending for dominance.

They had been locked in combat for a long while when…

Kwuaaaang-!!!

With a thunder that sounded like the sky collapsing, both of their divine forms were flung to the opposite side.

They separated some distance and took a moment to catch their breath.

In the silence Yeom Hwi glared at Yu Seol with a look of disbelief.

‘I can’t believe it. How do you get stronger the more we fight?’

Yu Seol wore an expression opposite to his surprise.

Even without gaining the upper hand, a smile lingered on her face.

“This is fun. Very fun.”

Yeom Hwi thought the Yin Monster was mocking him.

Offended, he knit his brows tightly and emitted murderous intent.

“This wench is playing with me now?”

Yu Seol snorted at him as if he were ridiculous.

“How did you know? But Cult Leader, I don’t think I can play with you anymore. I have to go to my grandpa.”

Yeom Hwi ground his teeth in anger.

Who would dare provoke him like this?

“Because of you our grand plan has been ruined. A plan we prepared for fifty years…”

It was natural for fury to boil up.

He instinctively felt that the Blood Sword Unit had been annihilated because of the Yin Monster.

Not only that: his base had been raided and the Storm Rider had escaped. Then those who went to Soyo Mountain Villa would also be in danger.

His inner thoughts were rotten and putrid.

“Wow~ Fifty years? That long?”

“Yes, go on mocking. I will make you pay the price from now on.”

At that moment black smoke wreathed Yeom Hwi’s entire body.

Moreover, the atmosphere was utterly different from before.

A true martial artist keeps a last resort—now he was revealing the hidden trump.

Faced with that sight, Yu Seol shrugged her shoulders and shivered.

“Scared~ Scared~ Save me.”

Yeom Hwi knew well she was not trembling from fear of him.

She was mocking him in this situation.

“Shut that mouth!!”

At that instant Yeom Hwi’s divine form shot forth as a streak of black light.

In the blink of an eye he swung a clawed, curled hand right in front of Yu Seol’s nose.

It was speed beyond imagination.

But Yu Seol did not miss his movement.

Soon the Dragon Flower Spear sprang off the ground, met his grasp, and triggered an explosion of qi.

Kwaaang-!!

“Ugh!”

A small groan escaped from Yu Seol’s mouth.

Is this truly the power of the Soul Manipulation Technique? It was a weight she had never experienced before.

Her wrist throbbed, but there was no respite; Yeom Hwi’s attacks continued.

Kwaang-!! Kwaaang-!!!

Every exchange left her shoulder aching.

What trick had he pulled? The Cult Leader’s internal qi seemed multiplied several times.

But that didn’t mean there was absolutely no way.

All that was needed was to avoid absorbing the impact directly.

Yu Seol subtly widened the distance and released the spear from her hand.

Whirrr-!!

The Dragon Flower Spear that leaped before her began to take his attacks mid-air.

Kwaang-!! Kwaang-!! Kwaaang-!!

Yeom Hwi, pressing the offensive, was on the verge of madness.

No matter how far he struck the self-moving spear, it returned at light speed and blocked him again.

Even using his ultimate means, he could not deal any damage to the Yin Monster.

On top of that she kept a certain distance and even provoked him.

“Hehe. You don’t know how to do this, do you?”

“Y-you cowardly bitch!”

Yeom Hwi, eyes wild, accelerated his movements drastically.

A moment later, he finally pierced the impenetrable defense of the Spear Control Technique and reached right before her.

In the claw-shaped hand swinging before her, a tremendous demonic aura had concentrated.

But Yu Seol had no intention of meeting it barehanded.

Twisting her upper body to evade, three black streams of force slammed into the ground fiercely.

Kwaaaang-!!

It was a brutal attack that dug a pit in the ground.

But Yeom Hwi could not continue a second attack.

This time he had to evade the Spear Control Technique approaching from behind.

In the moment of peril his whole body turned to black smoke and he instantaneously shifted position.

Paang-!!

It was the Blood Demon Stealth Step of Yeom Hwi that the Storm Rider had mentioned—a footwork technique most difficult to deal with.

Neither could afford even a single lapse in concentration.

Yu Seol avoided his Soul Manipulation Technique, and the Cult Leader dodged the Spear Control Technique as their bizarre movements continued.

They exchanged offense and defense, constantly interlocking without rest.

But time was not on Yeom Hwi’s side.

His attacks, which had been explosively powerful, were rapidly weakening.

It seemed his final resort could not be sustained long.

“Let’s have a straight-up duel, Yin Monster!”

Yu Seol grinned and widened the distance.

“Why would I?”

“You still call yourself the Evil Sect’s supreme?”

It was the moment Yeom Hwi struck aside the flying Dragon Flower Spear.

Yu Seol, who had been avoiding close combat, suddenly surged at him like a spear thrust.

Tuh-up-!

“Got you.”

She snatched one of his hands, to block the Blood-Demon Stealth Step.

Now each could only use one hand.

Though unavoidable, Yeom Hwi seemed to welcome it.

But there was one thing he overlooked.

Unlike him, Yu Seol had not yet revealed her true trump.

Hwaaak-!!

Cult Leader Yeom Hwi was considerably startled by the golden radiance that erupted from the Yin Monster’s eyes.

‘W-what kind of martial art is this?’

How could he know that it was the phenomenon of Fiery Eyes and Golden Clarity that occurs when the world’s peerless martial art, the Buddha Lion Roar Divine technique, is unleashed in full?

Yeom Hwi had no time to ponder.

Before he could counter, a fist was driven into his abdomen.

Jjeok-!!

“Guhk!!”

With a single blow his breath was choked off and the veins in his eyes burst.

His talismanic body-strengthening defense had been pierced so easily? What kind of power was this?

Though he felt his organs twist, he could not remain still.

Yeom Hwi swung his free left hand with all his might.

But inevitably the Yin Monster’s punch arrived there and collided.

Jjeoeong-!!

What was knocked away was his right hand that had been spraying black demonic aura.

‘This can’t be… The Soul Manipulation Technique was pushed back?’
