DR Chapter 244

In that moment.

Swoosh–

Amazingly, Heavenly Commander Yeo’s body rotated 180 degrees like a snake to face Jin Cheonhee directly.

Holy shit, his body’s bending like a snake?

In the original, arms only bent slightly, but now he’s using his entire spine to twist his whole body at grotesque angles?

Jin Cheonhee was slightly shocked by this bizarre form never seen in the original work.

Is this the Demonic Snake Venom Poison Arts’s influence? He’s literally becoming a snake person.

While Jin Cheonhee was shocked.

Heavenly Commander Yeo immediately counterattacked against the Heaven Earth Severance technique.

“Kukuku, I can’t dodge this.”

In that brief instant, Heavenly Commander Yeo instinctively realized Jin Cheonhee had calculated even the escape route when launching his sword strike.

Finally, Heavenly Commander Yeo had no choice but to reveal his trump card that he’d been saving until the end.

Demonic Snake Venom Poison Arts: Ultimate Technique.

Blood Poison Force Energy^[1]–!

It was a show of respect for the Zhuge clan chick named Jin Cheonhee.

Though smiling ostentatiously, Heavenly Commander Yeo was actually grinding his molars.

A mere brat not even thirty had forced him, someone comparable to the world’s ten great masters, to reveal his ultimate technique.

What greater humiliation could there be!

A giant snake form burst out from beneath his torn sleeve and collided with the Heaven Earth Severance.

BANG!

With a sound like a bomb exploding, the two energies collided and scattered.

“Now. Go!”

In the gap Jin Cheonhee created.

Yeo Ha-ryoon immediately charged in following his brother’s instructions. And from Ha-ryoon’s left and right, Cheon Woo and Sama Hyeon launched their attacks.

Taiji Wisdom Sword^[2] – Taiji Fills the Heavens^[3].

Thousand Changes Ten Thousand Inspection Art^[4] – Single Change Blade Edge Palm^[5].

Cheon Woo’s sword moved slowly, containing the mysteries of taiji.

The young Daoist finally touched the edge of taiji at life’s crossroads.

Though wanting to move with hot blood, his sword path remained unwavering in taiji.

Like Mount Wudang itself moving, the calm and dignified sword advanced, parting poison energy.

Sama Hyeon moved like a shadow beneath his sword.

Though mixed with playfulness and flashy changes, it contained a coldness like drawing a razor across the heart.

His movements were of a malevolent buddha praising death, like a jester who would burn this world.

In the gap between ultimate techniques flying from left and right.

From the center, Yeo Ha-ryoon extended one fist containing the Heavenly Demon Divine Arts’s ultimate technique.

Heavenly Demon Divine Arts – Heaven Breaking Fist^[6].

The Heavenly Demon said that martial arts at its extreme ultimately breaks even heaven.

Yeo Ha-ryoon didn’t know if that heaven was the blue thing above or something symbolic.

He only knew his fist would break everything troublesome before him.

The Heavenly-Killing Star’s talent whispered the correct fist path to Yeo Ha-ryoon.

Instinct preceded calculation, and following that killing intent’s guidance, he simply extended his fist.

The heaven-breaking fist advanced, pushing back poison energy.

Attacks rushing in almost simultaneously from three directions!

However, a person has only two hands.

One of the three attacks must be left undefended.

Therefore, Heavenly Commander Yeo boldly threw his body.

Crack!

The Dragon Scale Armor^[7] responded to the black energy, raising its scales.

In that state, he extended both hands to block Cheon Woo’s Taiji Wisdom Sword and Yeo Ha-ryoon’s Heavenly Demon Divine Arts.

BANG—!

With a great explosion, Yeo Ha-ryoon frowned and stepped back.

The back of his hand had turned slightly black.

Slightly poisoned from exposure to the poison energy.

Dragon Scale Armor with protective force energy… blocked Hyeon’s attack with external techniques and equipment. But internal energy consumption must be extreme. That’s natural, of course.

Jin Cheonhee coldly crafted his next move.

Meanwhile, flames bloomed around Heavenly Commander Yeo’s body and flew like arrows toward the three.

Soul-Falling Fire!

Heavenly Commander Yeo’s specialty unfolded.

However, they were thoroughly prepared for the Soul-Falling Fire based on Jin Cheonhee’s predictions.

They extinguished the flames head-on with sword energy level attacks!

Swoosh!

“Annoying pests! How did you prepare such counters?”

Forget the Soul-Falling Fire countermeasures, he couldn’t understand how they predicted he would counter with it.

The three clearly seemed to be using all their strength.

Yet they still preserved internal energy and prepared sword techniques to counter the next attack!

Heavenly Commander Yeo felt as if something sticky was holding him.

And between them, those cold blue eyes watching him without expression.

The Anti-Immortal Seed’s chilling gaze grated on his nerves even more.

This time Heavenly Commander Yeo charged at Cheon Woo.

Cheon Woo’s sword drew a taiji pattern, creating a perfect defensive stance.

Clang-!

Heavenly Commander Yeo’s hands and Cheon Woo’s sword entangled, creating sparks.

In that moment, Heavenly Commander Yeo saw.

Jin Cheonhee’s blue retinas turning toward Yeo Ha-ryoon.

Simultaneously, Yeo Ha-ryoon approached and brought his foot down.

THUD!

Heavenly Commander Yeo’s hand blocked it.

In that instant, this time Sama Hyeon entered the gap and struck at his flank.

Clash!

At that moment, Heavenly Commander Yeo’s eyes widened.

“Fuck, the Dragon Scale Armor…!”

As the Dragon Scale Armor was torn away, Jin Cheonhee’s afterimage scattered and disappeared.

The Zhuge clan’s Heavenly Energy Mystifying Stride.

This footwork, more famous than their sword techniques, penetrates the enemy’s blind spots to secure advantageous positions.

However, Heavenly Commander Yeo was no ordinary opponent.

“Quite the schemer, aren’t you.”

Slither.

Heavenly Commander Yeo’s arm extended like a snake and coiled around Yeo Ha-ryoon’s ankle.

“Kuk!”

Stab!

Poison energy deeply penetrated his skin.

Yeo Ha-ryoon hurriedly extended both palms and released palm force.

Clang!

Palm force collided with Heavenly Commander Yeo’s chest and exploded.

Though this made Heavenly Commander Yeo release his arm and retreat, Yeo Ha-ryoon’s left leg was now restricted as he had to keep resisting the spreading poison energy.

“Ahahaha! Even demonic cultists find it difficult to neutralize my poison. Today will be your death anniversary!”

Heavenly Commander Yeo once again projected force energy with his palm toward Yeo Ha-ryoon.

An obsession with dealing with Yeo Ha-ryoon first.

As Yeo Ha-ryoon switched to defense while suppressing the poison energy, Cheon Woo stuck close, helping defend against Heavenly Commander Yeo’s attacks from the side.

Meanwhile, Jin Cheonhee’s sword strike flew in from a blind spot.

However, snakes threw their bodies to block it, sacrificing themselves for their master.

Seeing this cruel sight, Jin Cheonhee thought while clicking his tongue.

I could never make Hwanggu do something like that!

The beasts are innocent. He’s already worried about them getting involved in human fights, let alone making them do such dangerous things.

However, that was just a momentary sentiment.

Jin Cheonhee’s sword path continued to the next strike.

One sword strike multiplied into dozens of sword paths.

Each sword path sought its own answer as it struck down.

Clang Clang CLANG!

Dozens of exchanges occurred in an instant.

The surroundings were instantly devastated by the exchanges that occurred in less than a quarter-hour.

Clang!

Buildings collapsed and ceilings shattered.

Even while falling to the ground, Jin Cheonhee avoided hundreds of scattered debris while launching correct sword paths.

The same was true for Yeo Ha-ryoon, Jin Cheon Woo, and Sama Hyeon!

And also their enemy Heavenly Commander Yeo!

The five continued drawing death lines while betting their lives against each other.

Death’s artists ran between blood paths.

They casually brushed through killing intent to take the enemy’s flesh, then painted new death with their swords.

With this… I understand everything!

For a moment, Jin Cheonhee’s blue retinas sank even colder.

The Profound Origin Heaven and Earth Divine Technique’s capability.

Thought acceleration, absolute memory!

Advancing from here to complete the ultimate technique would enable Martial Intent Foresight like his master Zhuge Rin.

However, Jin Cheonhee, who hadn’t yet reached Martial Intent Foresight, used another method.

Memorization through absolute memory!

Jin Cheonhee simply memorized.

He just memorized and memorized Heavenly Commander Yeo’s movements, poison directions, and internal energy habits, all of it.

• The direction of his pupils, moving fingertips.
• Minor speech habits.
• Even the movements of the endlessly rushing snakes.

His brain voraciously devoured information and digested each piece.

“The next strategy is….”

Jin Cheonhee prepared a trap.

Using the Dual Mind-Intention Technique^[8], Jin Cheonhee split his brain in two, moving surface actions and mental actions differently.

Using the brain to this extent would cause pain that would split even a Wudang Daoist’s self in two.

However, the Zhuge clan’s Profound Origin Heaven and Earth Divine Technique never drives its user mad.

It guides them to find answers while remaining completely in madness.

The siblings moved according to Jin Cheonhee’s guidance.

Through surface actions, they drew out all of Heavenly Commander Yeo’s martial arts, devouring every bit of information they could get.

Meanwhile, Jin Cheonhee’s other brain organized and analyzed through mental thought, and finally… completed the breaking method.

The two thought circuits rushed toward a single purpose without conflict.

That purpose.

“From now on, we hunt snakes!”

Jin Cheonhee’s sword paths showed no hesitation through dozens of exchanges.

“He can’t use Soul-Falling Fire and force energy simultaneously. Heavenly Commander Yeo’s speed is bizarrely faster than ours, but that’s all. It’s impossible to block all four of our attacks at once. He’s compensating with snake attacks and using poison energy to restrict our martial arts.”

A tricky opponent.

“All of Heavenly Commander Yeo’s martial arts are based on poisoning and defeating opponents, if we use that in reverse…”

Jin Cheonhee continued his sound transmission.

Yes. Four against one.

Though Heavenly Commander Yeo was a peerless master comparable to the world’s ten great masters, these chicks weren’t easy prey either.

All had reached the Transcendent Realm, and Yeo Ha-ryoon could temporarily draw out the power of the Transformation Realm.

Plus, if necessary, Jin Cheonhee himself could risk the burden on his body to draw out ultimate techniques.

Adding that they’d sealed the Black-Horned Serpent using Noe-jin and Hwanggu.

The current situation was evenly matched.

What everyone thought impossible was unfolding before their eyes!

After explaining the breaking method, Jin Cheonhee now spoke of strategy.

“So I’ll create an opening.”

“…Brother’s going to be bait~? Are you crazy?”

As expected of Sama Hyeon. He caught on immediately.

“That doesn’t seem like a good idea.”

While blocking Soul-Falling Fire, Cheon Woo also added his piece.

“Brother’s not satisfied with just my finger, I see.”

Finger? What does that mean?

The sound transmission paused briefly from the remaining two.

Anyway, Jin Cheonhee quickly transmitted during this gap.

“Listen carefully. Judge after hearing me out.”

Jin Cheonhee’s sword afterimages swelled into dozens while cutting down snakes and poison energy.

Having finished what he needed to say, Jin Cheonhee spoke.

“…Understood? Originally, the most dangerous task falls to the eldest brother. Then let’s begin!”

“No, I never agreed to…”

Ignoring his brother’s objection, Jin Cheonhee swung his sword wide, drawing a circle around himself.

Crash!

Sword energy became a wave sweeping the surroundings.

Sword paths carrying dizzying energy instantly chopped up all snakes within a ten-jang radius around Jin Cheonhee.

The moment he broke through the wall of snakes, Jin Cheonhee leaped without hesitation toward Heavenly Commander Yeo’s back.
