Return of Mount Hua Sect

Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 1065

The thought gradually faded away.

They weren’t scared or scared. The moment they were faced with the murderous intent unleashed by Heavenly Murderer, all thoughts disappeared from their head.

A murderous intent that made all their past struggles and triumphs seem trivial. Before that intense oppression, every living thing stopped breathing.

Murderous Intent Manifestation. (의형살인(意形殺人)/CMIIW. It literally means ‘intent that takes form and kills a person)

It was the moment when they forcibly understood why there was a saying that one could kill with will alone.

Heavenly Murderer’s gaze, chilling like the bitter winds of the North Sea, slowly scanned everyone still there.

It feels as if someone with terrible malice is holding an extremely sharp knife to their throats. A feeling of pressure that feels as if a blade will dig into their throat the moment anyone twitched a finger. Heavenly Murderer’s voice which seemed to be a chant was heard in the ears of those who did not know what to do.

“Mount Hua…. Right. Mount Hua. You still manage to maintain your lineage well.”

Even from that reaction alone, it was clear that this newly appeared bishop harbored a deep grudge against Mount Hua.

And the result of this grudge… was predictable to anyone.

Chung Myung and Jang Ilso, who have already become rags from fighting Dan Jagang, will never be able to handle this bishop. And if it was impossible for them, it was impossible for anyone else here.

There is only one way left. Run away.

It is better to survive even if it means showing your back than to fight pointlessly against an enemy that is impossible to fight. Wasn’t that what Mount Hua had emphasized countless times to their disciples?

But….

‘Is that even possible?’

To flee from this bishop?

They couldn’t even connect their thoughts, let alone attempt something. All they could do was barely manage not to collapse right there. But how could they possibly escape from such a person?

It was then.

Under extreme pressure, someone began to move. Someone who is not Chung Myung, Baek Cheon, or even Jang Ilso.

Step. Step.

All eyes were focused on the man’s back as he walked forward through the frozen crowd.

Not very wide back.

One sleeve fluttering awkwardly empty.

“Sa- Sasuk….”

A voice as if in pain came out of Baek Cheon’s mouth. His Sasuk, Un Gum, took action alone.

Baekcheon swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

‘Un Gum Sasuk!’

How can this happen? It was hard enough to keep one’s mind from being blown away by the intense murderous intent, but how could he possibly move like that?

Baek Cheon looked at Un Gum with an emotion close to shock.

Un Gum finally took the last step and stood facing Heavenly Murderer. He trembled for a moment, as if it was difficult to keep his body upright, and then opened his mouth in a suppressed voice.

“Great… Mount Hua Sect.”

Those standing behind couldn’t see Un Gum’s expression. All they could discern was Un Gum’s slightly trembling shoulders and voice. Even with empty words, it cannot be said that he was very confident.

But who could dare to diminish his stature? The back of Un Gum, who stood alone facing Heavenly Murderer, looked even more impressive than Heavenly Murderer standing in front of him. At least in the eyes of Mount Hua’s disciples.

“…I am Un Gum, the eldest disciple.”

Heavenly Murderer remained silent and just glared at Un Gum with cold eyes. At that moment, the extreme pressure that was weighing down the others eased. However, this meant that the pressure was now intensifying on Un Gum.

But Un Gum continued speaking.

“…Do you have any business with Mount Hua?”

“Ha…?”

Heavenly Murderer let out a disbelieving scoff.

Of course, they may not know what happened between Mount Hua and Magyo in the past. But even taking that into account, isn’t this question too much out of common sense?

They had just been warring with Magyo followers and had pushed the cult’s bishop, Dan Jagang, to the brink of death. But now he’s asking Heavenly Murderer what his business was?

“Hahahahat.”

Heavenly Murderer eventually burst out laughing.

“Business…?”

Then, he suddenly erased his smile and glared at Un Gum coldly and asked.

“Then what do you plan to do?”

“….”

“If I had decided to kill you all right here and now, would you even try to stop me, descendant of Mount Hua Sect?”

“….”

“With that feeble ability?”

Heavenly Murderer emphasized his disbelief with a slow shake of his head.

“It is absurd. You may have had the name of a volcano, but you had none of its power. Compared to those who were enemies but had no choice but to respect, you are now as little as a bug. “Still, do you dare stand in front of me?”

At that moment, the tremendous murderous intent that was released from Heavenly Murderer was completely unleashed at Un Gum.

“You, who inherited nothing except the two words ‘Mount Hua’?”

“Cough!”

Black blood poured out from Un Gum’s mouth. The murderous intent, which cannot even be described as terrible, shook his entire energy.

Un Gum, who suffered internal injuries just by the murderous intent, coughed up black blood several times before wiping his mouth with his remaining arm.

“…It seems there was a misunderstanding.”

Although his face was pale due to internal injuries, Un Gum’s expression appeared somewhat more relaxed than before.

“I too understand my place. I harbor no such illusions.”

“Then why do you dare stand before me?”

“…You, being a superior, would understand.”

“Hm?”

Un Gum laughed weakly.

“Even if you lack ability, as long as there are people following behind… At the very least, one must die first.”

Un Gum gripped the sword at his waist. His hands no longer trembled.

d the sword on his waist. His hands no longer trembled.

“As you said, in your eyes, my abilities may not be as good as that of a bug. But people too can die from an insect bite. Perhaps, if I’m lucky, I might be able to save even one person, am I?”

Heavenly Murderer’s eyes narrowed.

“Is your life worth that much?”

“That much…?”

Un Gum smiled, showing his teeth. His expression was infinitely bright, but the blood-soaked teeth gave off a strange eerie look.

“What could be more valuable than that?”

Heavenly Murderer remained silent for a moment and looked at Un Gum as if intrigued.

He can tell just by looking. The only thing the man can do right now is to endure in front of him. But he does not retreat. He literally carves out his soul to stand his ground.

Heavenly Murderer slowly shook his head.

“It appears you’ve inherited more than just the name.”

Heavenly Murderer took his gaze away from Un Gum and looked at the distant sky. As if recalling old memories from long ago.

“A hundred years may have passed, and though the power is lost, Mount Hua is still Mount Hua…”

Heavenly Murderer’s expression instantly softened. At the same time, the terrible murderous intent that seemed like it would spread everywhere at any moment also disappeared as if washed away.

“I got a bit carried away.”

Everyone looked at Heavenly Murderer with faces full of suspicion. Heavenly Murderer slowly shook his head and said.

“There’s no need to look at me that way. I won’t harm any of you here today.”

“….”

“Of course, make no mistake. The cult has no tolerance for contemptible unbelievers. In particular, my honest feelings are that those who bear the two words ‘Mount Hua’ should not be spared, even for a single ant cub. However….”

Heavenly Murderer glanced elsewhere. The ashes of Dan Jagang were scattered.

“Everyone has their position.”

“….”

“Erasing traces of Mount Hua from the world is an unavoidable duty given to me, but continuing the task of an apostate is something I must avoid as a believer of the cult. hus, you will not die. Not today, at this place at least.”

“Kukukukuk.”

At that moment, a low laughter erupted.

Heavenly Murderer’s eyes naturally turned to the place where the sound of laughter was coming from. A man dressed in a garish outfit seemed unable to contain himself and was covering his mouth.

As Heavenly Murderer stared at him silently, Jang Ilso gestured with his hand.

“Aah, forgive me. You were speaking so seriously.”

“….”

“But you see, I’m a bit of a twisted person. It’s hard to hold back laughter when someone acts like they’re holding on to my life.”

Heavenly Murderer looked at Jang Ilso with narrowed eyes and shook his head.

“Jungwon has also changed a lot.”

“….”

“Yes, it’s been enough time. A hundred years have passed, so it must have been enough for us to be forgotten.”

Heavenly Murderer slowly looked around.

The land was desolate without compare. Although little remained, he could distinctly feel the aura of death that had devoured this place.

An entire city had vanished. All life within it had disappeared. But…

“Don’t think that this is all there is. What you’ve seen is just a fragment of the power our cult holds.”

“….”

“You will know. Even if you don’t want to remember, you will recall. O unbelievers of Jungwon.”

At that moment, an indescribable solemnity bloomed on Heavenly Murderer’s face.

“Soon, He will return.”

Everyone’s hearts sank.

Who else could ‘He’ mentioned by those lips refer to? There is only one being in the world who can make those who are followers of Magyo, especially those called bishops, spoke with such reverence.

“Then, you will face it. The predetermined outcome. A fate that cannot be avoided.”

Heavenly Murderer turned around.

“Until then… Enjoy the remaining time you have been given. Though it may not be much.”

Heavenly Murderer walked indifferently. No, he tried to.

What stopped him was a voice without highs or lows that crept into his ears.

“It’s not that, is it?”

Heavenly Murderer stopped walking and glanced back, leaving his body where it was. A young Mount Hua swordsman who had not yet shed his youthful appearance was seen.

Chung Myung spoke softly.

“It’s not that you won’t kill, it’s that you can’t kill, are you?”

“….”

“What will you do about this?”

The mocking voice seemed to pierce the heart of Heavenly Murderer.

“You never know. Among the people here who were killed and eliminated by those who ran away because you failed to control them properly… Could there be your illustrious Heavenly Demon son of a beast? Yes?”

“This…”

Udeudeudeuk!

Heavenly Murderer ground his teeth. In an instant, veins bulged in both eyes. Not because he was drawing on demonic energy to emit a bloody light. The blood vessels in both eyes burst out due to pure blood flow.

“Hahahahahat!”

Chung Myung saw that and laughed like a madman.

“Are you angry?”

“…You, this creature…”

“So what will you do? Gonna kill me?”

Everyone could clearly feel the great anger that Heavenly Murderer was emitting. However, unlike before, his anger did not lead to hostility towards them.

“No. You can’t, can you?”

Chung Myung sneered crookedly.

“I might…”

“You…”

“Even be Heavenly Demon? You know?”

“You puuuuuuuunk!”

A scream filled with simmering hatred, terrible malice, and foul-smelling resentment all tangled together. Tears of blood trickled down the corner of Heavenly Murderer.
