For a moment, he felt dizzy.
The opponent’s roar shook Pyo-wol’s brain momentarily. It felt as if his head had been shoved into a giant bell and was hit hard.
The red light was about to fade from Pyo-wol’s eyes. However, the red light soon came back several times more intensely. It was the Thunder-Splitting Method that prevented his consciousness from flying away.
Pyo-wol was in a difficult position. He did not know the identity or face of the opponent.
But none of that mattered.
What really matters is that someone had attacked him.
Phat!
The figure of Pyo-wol has disappeared. The place where he appeared again was right in front of his opponent. He had used the Black Lightning to move.
Riiing!
A buzzing sound rumbled in his mind. It was a phenomenon that occurred whenever his thinking was accelerated at a lightning speed.
It was as if the flow of the world had slowed down.
In it, only Pyo-wol was moving fast.
He was simultaneously analyzing, attacking and digging through his opponent.
What Pyo-wol was doing was a crazy thing that normal warriors would not have even dared to do. However, Pyo-wol’s body, which was trained beyond the limits of human beings, made the impossible possible.
The opponent’s face was big. He was in his mid-forties, with a sturdy physique, a pure white long beard, and a long sword that was worn around his waist. His fingers were long and delicate, his steps were careful and his eyes were shaped like a tiger.
A series of information was transmitted into Pyo-wol’s head.
His opponent is strong.
This is the first powerhouse that Pyo-wol had to face after coming into the world.
If he can’t manage to kill him, he will surely die.
Schiak!
The Soul-Reaping Thread was stretched out from Pyo-wol’s hand. This technique had never failed him in taking the lives of others.
Paang!
But this time, the Soul-Reaping Thread completely betrayed his expectations.
As the energy in front of the man exploded, the Soul-Reaping Threads were scattered in vain.
“You’re a weirdo.”
He raised his hand.
In an instant, Pyo-wol felt the air around him change.
Chwahahak!
The air that was swirling around the area had turned into hundreds and thousands of blades before attacking Pyo-wol.
It was as if a millstone with thousands of upside-down blades had interlocked with Pyo-wol in between.
Geugeugeung!
The landscape that had unfolded was as if the end of the world had come. It was a landscape Pyo-wol had never even imagined.
It was closer to the realm of the gods, not the realm of martial arts.
At least, that’s how he felt.
But Pyo-wol did not despair.
Even in a desperate situation, Pyo-wol managed to survive. He had even experienced raking moss and eating snakes alive just to stay alive.
Pyo-wol’s appearance resembled that of a hungry angler.
The wind like a blade tore his clothes, ripped his flesh, and splattered his blood, but he did not stop advancing.
The opponent could not help but admire the appearance of Pyo-wol.
“Huh! How long can you endure it?”
What he unfolded was a technique called the Sea Breeze Sword1, which contained his lifelong profound thoughts.
The blade of the wind that blew toward Pyo-wol was actually the crystallization of the energy he radiated. It was a supreme technique that could not be unfolded without the support of a vast, near-infinite strength and experience.
No one dared to hold out for ten seconds once he unleashed his Sea Breeze Sword, but Pyo-wol had already managed to hold out for more than ten seconds.
No, he wasn’t just enduring, he was actually starting to counterattack.
At first, he was just trying to avoid it, but from a certain moment on he began to go on an offensive.
‘Does this mean that in that brief moment, he analyzed the method behind the technique and found the way to survive it?’
Pyo-wol is definitely not a normal martial artist.
He had a great deal of insight.
He is familiar with most of the martial arts that appeared in Jianghu within the past 100 years. However, none of the martial arts he knew was similar to the one Pyo-wol is currently demonstrating.
As such, Pyo-wol’s martial arts were both original and unique. It was like seeing a unique cultivation method that suddenly appeared through the darkness.
Bang!
A part of the Sea Breeze Sword was broken by Pyo-wol’s fist. A gloomy energy penetrated through it.
Like a snake digging through a small hole, the dark energy that came in through the Sea Breeze sword was aiming for his life.
He was a monster he had never seen or heard of before.
Had he not met Pyo-wol in person, he would not have even imagined that such a martial artist existed.
Cit! Ciiiit!
A terrifying pounding sound echoed from Pyo-wol’s body. It was the sound of the Soul-Reaping Thread as it collided with the Sea Breeze Sword.
In an instant, he felt his whole body tingle. His nerves were stimulated as if struck by lightning.
‘What?’
He opened his eyes and looked at Pyo-wol.
Pyo-wol seemed to have fallen into a trance.
His mind was focused solely on breaking the blades of the wind.
It was the Soul-Reaping Thread that has taken countless lives so far. However, the Soul-Reaping Thread and the Sea Breeze Sword were polar opposites.
The Soul-Reaping Thread, which was made up of qi, was in the form of a thread. It has a structure that had no choice but to be greatly affected by the wind. Because of that, the Soul-Reaping Thread was pushed away by the wind and kept flying to the wrong place.
Pyo-wol was desperately thinking about how to control the Soul-Reaping Thread.
He tried to think, and think, and think on what he could do.
It was possible because he had heard the world inside his heart.
Many times, dozens of times more than others, the accident has analyzed the current situation and came up with a solution on how to supplement the Soul-Reaping Thread.
It was by combining the power of lightning with the Soul-Reaping Thread.
The Thunder-Splitting Method had the effect of stimulating his nerves with lightning and making his reaction several times faster.
Although much of its original appearance disappeared as he fell into the snake pit and was re-established as the Thunder-Snake Cultivation Method, the core of using lightning remained intact.
Pyo-wol reinforced the Soul-Reaping Thread by merging it with lightning. So even against the fierce wind, the Soul-Reaping Thread would continue to stretch out without being shaken.
And something unexpected happened.
Bzzzt!
Lightning started to be released outside through the Soul-Reaping Thread.
As the force of lightning came into contact with the air, it created sparks.
He narrowed his eyes at the phenomenon he had seen for the first time in his life.
‘It’s getting stronger.’
The problem is that the lightning released outside the Soul-Reaping Thread gathers the static energy in the air, making it more powerful.
Bzzt! Bzzzt!
The flashes of lightning felt threatening.
‘Tsk! Did I actually bring out his potential?’
The man clicked his tongue.
This was the first time in his life.
Throughout his life, he had met countless warriors, some of whom possessed the talent to be on top of the world. But none of them developed their talents at such a frightening pace as the man in front of him.
‘At this rate, I’m going to be devoured.’’
He wanted to wait a little longer and watch Pyo-wol, but if he did, even his bottom line would be robbed.
“Chaat!”
With a great spirit, he drew his index finger in a crisscross pattern in the air.
The wind gathered around the area with a bizarre sound, creating the shape of a huge sword.
