Chapter 39. The Teacher Buried in His Heart

‘These guys, did they figure something out?’

The Blood Sound Demon, Ju Sang San. He flinched when he saw the people from the Alliance run full speed towards the center. That was because the young lord, Cho Ryu Hyang, was located in that spot.

‘Even so…….’

Ju Sang San made a face of disgust. These people were running with their backs open, knowing full well that he was after their tails?

‘Disrespectful pricks. Do I really look that weak to you?’

Of course, Ju Sang San had no idea that the other side was staking their lives on this one bet. Ju Sang San moved with a face of annoyance.

Fast but quietly. He quickly approached his enemies. And when he arrived at their location, he began to put strength into his fingers.

Pachichichi–

An immense amount of energy condensed into Ju Sang San’s fingertips as it emitted a dangerous sound.

‘Now.’

Pyut–

The energy condensed in his fingertips flew out like lightning, and went for the expert at the very back.

“Uncle!”

When Yu Sul Bin shouted out a warning, the expert at the back, Feng Sul Zi, noticed the danger behind him. At the same time, he spun his body like a top in order to dodge Ju Sang San’s attack.

He only dodged because he had no confidence to block Ju Sang San’s blow. But that was exactly what Ju Sang San was going for. A small pause. That would be enough.

‘First, one guy.’

Ju Sang San faintly smiled in the dark. The expert that fell behind the group just now would be a good target for him.

‘Would you still run with this guy in danger?’

When Ju Sang San exposed his body from the dark, Yu Sul Bin hesitated.

He was contemplating on whether he should save his uncle, or just run. When he did this, Feng Ho Zi quickly warned him with a stern voice.

“Don’t look back.”

“But…….”

Uncle wouldn’t be able to resist that demon alone. Ju Sang San was a harmonious expert. The only way to face that man would be for Yu Sul Bin to make his move.

“Bastard! Do you think you’re the only one prepared to die here? Don’t look at your uncles this lightly!”

Yu Sul Bin closed mouth when he got yelled at. Uncle was right. His uncles weren’t cowards. They weren’t cheaters, either.

Stopping here to go back would be an insult to his uncle’s determination.

Kang–!

When he glanced back, Yu Sul Bin could he Feng Sul Zi desperately trying to keep Ju Sang San occupied. Yu Sul Bin burned the image of his uncle into his mind, then moved on.

‘Uncle will die.’

When he thought that, he felt unimaginable grief from his heart. He was prepared for this event, but when he actually faced the situation in real life, it was unbearably painful.

‘Damn it!’

The only way to make his uncle’s death not be in vain would be to run as fast as he could. That fact alone made Yu Sul Bin go berserk in rage.

“Uaaaaah!”

Yu Sul Bin took out his sword, and began to slash at all the tree roots coming at him.

Chuaa– Chii–!

As they kept moving forward, the amount of the tree roots increased significantly. But even that couldn’t block the raging Yu Sul Bin.

Even though he was carrying a patient on his back, Yu Sul Bin was relentlessly chopping down everything at a rapid pace.

‘I’ll destroy it.’

They were close. The tree roots were annoying, but they would soon arrive at their destination. And whatever there was inside, until Yu Sul Bin didn’t destroy everything there, he would not be calm.

Then.

Ping–!

He could hear something flying towards them again.

‘Already?’

Yu Sul Bin looked back with a pale face. Did his uncle buy them only this much time?

Yu Sul Bin’s face turned demonic when he looked back. That was because he could see Ju Sang San, drenched in blood, coming towards them at a frightening speed.

Then.

Bam-!

Someone behind Yu Sul Bin blocked Ju Sang San with a sword. At the same time, Yu Sul Bin’s face filled with pain.

“Uncle Feng Jin Zi!”

“Go!”

Uncle Feng Jin Zi, the one who always enjoyed reading books in a quiet spot. He covered their back, and stood firmly on the spot.

Yu Sul Bin looked at his uncle with a pained face, then bit his lips and applied strength to his limbs. he couldn’t stop here.

He could see his uncles who were filled with determination running besides him. Yu Sul Bin, and the experts of the Alliance couldn’t turn back now.

‘Damn it! Damn it!’

He thought everything would go smoothly. But didn’t he lose two of his uncles just now? If he counted the injured, too, a total of three people were lost already.

“Uncle, where is it?”

When Yu Sul Bin asked this with a tone filled with malice, Feng Ho Zi squinted his eyes, and pointed somewhere.

“It’s there.”

“Will the formation break if I destroy that?”

“Probably.”

“Alright.”

Voom–

The moment Yu Sul Bin heard his uncle’s answer, he put an astronomical amount of strength into his sword. After shaking unsteadily for a while, a white cloud of energy began to seep out of the sword.

“Haa!”

With a shout, Yu Sul Bin leapt to the sky, and threw his sword.

Shuaaa–!

A white lightning descended upon the center of the silver tree with a sharp noise.

‘Break.’

Yu Sul Bin was confident. After all, he was using the Energy Control Technique. It was a mere imitation of the actual technique, as Yu Sul Bin wasn’t proficient at it, yet, but it would suffice.

Koom– Kakakam–!

With a sound that shook the heavens and the earth, the silver tree that got hit by the white lightning split in half.

* * *

To be truthful, making a formation right here on the spot wasn’t hard for Jo Gi Chun.

The original formation broke because of the immense amount of energy generated from the dragon, but wasn’t this originally a place where there were two formations drawn in a single spot?

Jo Gi Chun simply restored the formation from its broken state. But of course, he wasn’t able to restore the formation to its former glory.

Even Jo Gi Chun, the master of maths and formations, wasn’t able to execute the equations that the imugi used in order to create the formations perfectly.

The formation he made hurriedly was the outer formation of protection made outside. He restored that first, and decided to use the inner formation for a different purpose.

Kukuakuang–!

“Watch carefully. This is the last thing I will be teaching you.”

That was the last thing he said. After that, the experts of the Alliance broke through the broken tree.

“I found you, you godforsaken rats.”

Shuaa–!

There was no warning. There were no questions. The man at the front simply stabbed out front. Jo Gi Chun couldn’t dodge the man’s move. Truthfully, Jo Gi Chun had no intention to dodge, either. He just calmly accepted his end.
