Chapter 558

Everyone cheered for Baek Li-jung with one heart and one mind.

"Kill the Poison Dragon and protect the martial world!"

"Tear the Poison Dragon to death!"

"Leave not a scrap of flesh, not a single bone!"

Their appearance...

The sight of them shouting murderously to kill was no different from hungry ghosts wailing in hell's pit of fire.

Jin Ja-gang silently looked at the martial artists. He knew why they were cheering for Baek Li-jung.

Jin Ja-gang nodded. Then he turned his gaze away from the martial artists.

Baek Li-jung opened his mouth. Then he slowly raised his eyes to look at Jin Ja-gang. He smiled with Jin Ja-gang's blood, the extreme poison called Asura Blood, soaked all over his mouth.

What will you do now?

His eyes asked that question.

Sometimes, even when the essence or truth is revealed, there are times when it doesn't work as the correct standard.

When a greater evil than truth covers the truth and pretends to be truth, it can eventually remain as if it were truth.

Just like right now.

Baek Li-jung felt rewarded at this moment for leaving only his carefully selected followers here.

But Jin Ja-gang said.

"Aren't you still missing one condition for things to go as you wish?"

A sneer formed at Jin Ja-gang's lips.

"That you defeat me."

Baek Li-jung's eyes flashed. Baek Li-jung extended his fingers clawing toward Jin Ja-gang.

Bang!

However, the next moment Baek Li-jung was face down on the ground after being struck hard on the head.

What...?

Baek Li-jung blinked.

Jin Ja-gang said.

"Unbreakable Heavenly Sword. Still don't understand? You haven't become stronger. Your skill remains the same as before, only your internal energy increased abnormally. You couldn't beat me before, so do you think you can defeat me now when I've become even stronger?"

Jin Ja-gang already knew.

Baek Li-jung spread his internal energy every night trying to find Jin Ja-gang but couldn't. His internal energy reached extremes, but he lacked the method to precisely control internal energy.

Because he didn't have the realization to match it. Though he could overcome some differences through tremendous internal energy, he couldn't overcome fundamental differences.

Jin Ja-gang shouted loudly at Baek Li-jung.

"You are the weakest among the countless strong warriors I've met! And simultaneously the worst trash. How dare... you try to covet the martial world with such a level!"

Grrrrr, a wolf's howl flowed from inside Baek Li-jung. As Baek Li-jung tried to get up from the ground, Jin Ja-gang trampled on Baek Li-jung's head.

Bang!

Baek Li-jung's head was slammed into the ground.

Jin Ja-gang said in a voice full of anger.

"You are no longer Unbreakable Heavenly Sword. The contents were consumed by the Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit, leaving only an empty shell."

The mystique flowing from Baek Li-jung's pupils gradually disappeared and killing intent arose.

This won't do. With Baek Li-jung's body and martial arts, he can't defeat Jin Ja-gang. A master befitting this internal energy is needed!

Baek Li-jung released the string. Now was the time to reach perfection.

Time to escape from endless hunger.

"Grrrrr... Grrrr..."

Baek Li-jung no longer exuded gentle energy. Creepy killing intent and wildness completely covered Baek Li-jung.

Kill him. If he just kills Jin Ja-gang in front of him, he can start over. He'll overturn the entire martial world alone and establish a new murim!

There's no reason he can't do what Jin Ja-gang did!

Baek Li-jung's pupils rolled back and the whites flickered. He sprang up like lightning and bit into Jin Ja-gang's thigh.

Jin Ja-gang grabbed the hair of the springing Baek Li-jung and kicked with his knee. Baek Li-jung turned his head and his ear was torn. However, Baek Li-jung opened his mouth wide enough for his jaw to dislocate and bit the thigh.

Chomp!

Teeth sank in.

Jin Ja-gang had no intention of pulling out his foot and struck Baek Li-jung's head.

Bwong! Bwak!

As if saying, try biting if you're going to bite. He held the head with one hand and struck the temple with the hardest part below the palm. Bwak! Bwak! Baek Li-jung's pupils kept shaking.

An ordinary person, even a great master would lose consciousness, but Baek Li-jung's gaze didn't diminish at all.

Baek Li-jung was already completely consumed by the Calamity Slaying Demon Spirit. Even the last trace of personality remaining until the end was no longer there.

He became insensitive even to pain. No, he felt pain but greed was stronger. Greed was so intense he ignored pain, not releasing Jin Ja-gang's thigh to the end, even holding onto consciousness.

Appetite, material greed, power greed.

Baek Li-jung couldn't suppress his obsession with those things and finally the act of taking those things itself became the purpose of his existence. He became the existence of extreme greed itself.

Jin Ja-gang remained calm despite his thigh being bitten. He tightened Asura Divine Scripture harder, strangling Baek Li-jung's neck. Baek Li-jung's mouth was forced open. Baek Li-jung's teeth that had reached bone gradually came out.

Jin Ja-gang pulled out his foot while simultaneously pressing down Baek Li-jung's head. Baek Li-jung shook his head to push off Jin Ja-gang's hand, then jumped up like a flea and bit Jin Ja-gang's nose.

Snap!

Jin Ja-gang pulled his head back. Baek Li-jung's teeth were clenched shut right in front of Jin Ja-gang's nose. Baek Li-jung moved his jaw left and right, grinding his teeth. The tooth tips were being ground down and becoming sharper.

Baek Li-jung glared at Jin Ja-gang right before his nose, making a growling sound. The sharp tooth tips held a yellowish energy. Next time he bites, it won't just end with teeth sinking in.

Jin Ja-gang looked down at such Baek Li-jung and said.

"You have now completely abandoned humanity, so from now on I won't treat you as human. Understand?"

Baek Li-jung smiled with killing intent.

But that smile awkwardly froze. He felt something foreign between his teeth.

Jin Ja-gang pulled a thread with his finger.

Ping...

A strand of Asura Divine Scripture was caught on Baek Li-jung's canine tooth. Surprised, Baek Li-jung rolled his eyes up.

Jin Ja-gang kicked Baek Li-jung's chest and flicked his wrist, pulling the thread. Baek Li-jung hastily closed his mouth, but the canine tooth caught on Asura Divine Scripture was pulled out and floating in the air.

"Kyaaaaa!"

Baek Li-jung roared and rushed at Jin Ja-gang with his mouth open. Jin Ja-gang raised his foot then kicked down Baek Li-jung's rushing head diagonally from top to bottom.

Bang!

Baek Li-jung's head violently turned sideways. But it immediately returned. He looked at Jin Ja-gang with pupils shrunk to dots, bared his teeth, and charged. Jin Ja-gang retreated, struck his face with a fist, and pushed his forehead with his palm.

Thwack! Bwok! Baek Li-jung's head kept shaking. His nose bled. There was also massive bleeding from the mouth where the canine tooth was pulled. Baek Li-jung's face became covered in blood. However, there was still no major injury. Even the flickering white eyes didn't diminish at all.

He wasn't afraid of being hit.

However, Jin Ja-gang wasn't afraid of hitting either. He gripped the leash tightly and dodged Baek Li-jung's head left and right while striking without rest.

Bwok bwak! Baek Li-jung had already been hit dozens of times. If it were other masters, their heads would have been smashed to pieces already. However, Baek Li-jung seemed more angry about not being able to move freely because of the Asura Divine Scripture around his neck than the blows.

Baek Li-jung irritably grabbed the Asura True Scripture around his neck and arms with his bare hands.

Grrr, grrrrrr!

Jin Ja-gang also put internal energy into Asura Divine Scripture and pulled hard. Asura Divine Scripture became taut. Even so, it couldn't cut Baek Li-jung's fingers gripping with bare hands.

Kyaaaa!

The muscles of Baek Li-jung's entire body swelled as if about to burst.

Snap!

Baek Li-jung finally broke Asura Divine Scripture with his bare hands. Tremendous divine strength. Of course, Jin Ja-gang wasn't just watching. While Baek Li-jung was breaking Asura Divine Scripture, he rushed in and touched his stomach with his fingers.

Thud! The clothes Baek Li-jung was wearing burst into pieces. Baek Li-jung flew nearly four or five zhang and tumbled on the ground. But he sprang up as if nothing happened and cried out toward Jin Ja-gang.

Grrrrrr...!

In an instant, Jin Ja-gang had already run up to right before Baek Li-jung's nose. Jin Ja-gang was in the middle of grabbing Baek Li-jung's head and jamming his knee into the philtrum.

Crunch!

The soft gums were crushed and teeth twisted. When he struck down a second time, teeth broke off without fail. Broken teeth flew in all directions.

Kyaaaaaa!

Before Baek Li-jung could scream in pain, smoke rose from Jin Ja-gang's hands gripping Baek Li-jung's head.

Scorching Twin Phosphor Palm!

Sizzzzz! Baek Li-jung's internal energy resisted so the skin wasn't greatly injured. It just stopped at becoming reddish. However, Baek Li-jung couldn't regain his senses and waved his arms trying to shake off Jin Ja-gang with eyes closed.

Jin Ja-gang stepped back then strongly kicked up Baek Li-jung's stomach. As soon as Baek Li-jung floated in the air, Asura Divine Scripture released from Jin Ja-gang's wrist with a click sound.

Asura Divine Scripture floated into the air and fluttered.

Asura Divine Scripture, Forty Fold Life Severing Thread.

Jin Ja-gang poured internal energy into Asura Divine Scripture as if exploding it.

Asura World Annihilation Soul!

Kwaaaaa!

All the threads of Asura Divine Scripture swept through the air. Sweeping Jin Ja-gang's front, tearing everything and turning it to powder, they wrapped around Baek Li-jung.

Baek Li-jung blocked the front with both arms. He unleashed all internal energy, deploying protective energy.

Kwadrdrdrk! Drdrdrk!

With a rough roar, the protective energy was crushed and Baek Li-jung's clothes were torn to shreds.

Kwaaaaa!

Baek Li-jung flew far away, rolled on the ground, and fell face down. His clothes became rags and red marks from Asura True Scripture's grazing remained on his arms, legs, and body. It was impressive he survived Asura World Annihilation Soul to that degree.

Baek Li-jung tried to get up by pressing the ground but staggered and sat down again.

Jin Ja-gang beckoned with his finger toward Baek Li-jung and said.

"Get up."

Baek Li-jung glared at Jin Ja-gang and made a wolf's howl with his mouth covered in blood with all teeth broken.

Grrrrrrr.

The Murim Alliance's martial artists received a great shock.

He's losing...

Baek Li-jung is being defeated...

Clearly he's revealed his true colors and seems to be using all his strength, yet he still doesn't match Jin Ja-gang.

Moreover, now the damage is growing even greater than before.

The martial artists were restless. They didn't know what to do.

No matter how favorably they looked at it, Baek Li-jung couldn't seem to win.

If Baek Li-jung loses like this, what happens to them!

Amid heavy silence.

"That bastard...!"

Someone cursed. But it wasn't directed at Jin Ja-gang.

"If you boasted so confidently you could win, you should have won... What about us now."

A voice full of resentment and grievance followed.

Most were probably thinking the same thing right now.

Baek Li-jung could lose. He could lose. But if he was going to lose like this, he shouldn't have died in that form.

No matter how much they pursued wealth and power, they didn't want to hear they served not a human but a beast that devours humans.

Even Shaolin Temple, a pillar of the world, was once persecuted by the imperial court that tried to oppress the martial world. They were accused of "eating vegetables and serving demons" because they didn't eat meat, only ate vegetables, and served demons.

Even just eating vegetables was considered strange and they were driven into demonic path, so how much more so the fact of following a beast that devours humans!

Jin Ja-gang would be today's victor, and they who followed a beast that devours humans would be treated as seeds of the demonic path for generations.

Only now did those who regretted appear.

"The Poison Dragon was right."

"Baek Li-jung, that monster was the source of all this."

"We were deceived, deceived."
