Right after, Hong Ye-Mong relentlessly assaults Yongbi while the latter desperately tries to block the attacks. She pauses the attacks briefly to question Yongbi on why he attacked Elder Muk.

As Gyeom hazily sees the guards getting ready to attack him, the spectre tells him it was time to give in eliciting an angry response from Gyeom.

In that moment, a haggard Gyeom massacres the several guards that had attacked him shocking the remaining lot, who were wondering where Gyeom's monstrous strength was coming from. At that, Gyeom props himself up with one of the dropped swords and looks them all down with tired eyes. Suddenly a sword flies through the air and impales Gyeom through the chest, flooring him, but not before Gyeom sees who the assailant is. The perpetrator, Gyeom's uncle, then tells the rest of them to finish Gyeom off before muttering that he always had to do things himself if he wanted them done. Bathed in white, the mysterious spectre stands over Gyeom and chastises him for trusting "that man" and tells him it was what he got for being stubborn. Gyeom looks up stupefied and then blacks out completely...

Having taken control of Doh Gyeom's body, he rises back up, completely unnerving the coming guards, and takes in the various sensations pervading Gyeom's body. As the guards try to finish "Gyeom" off, he brutally slices them up and rises to his feet whilst giving off a bone chilling aura that visibly flustered the remaining guards.

Outside, Gyeom's uncle hears a noise from the cave but his attention is quickly diverted to the kerfuffle occurring at the mansion. Meanwhile, the lord of the group looks on apathetically as outside his quarters, his men fight with the living dead.

In response, the Heaven Ravager King expresses his disappointment that Okcheonbi's martial power had declined and goads the latter to face him with the full might of his fearsome Dark Blood Demonic Techniques. Okcheonbi grants Goo Hwi that wish, claiming that this technique would have annihilated him and Yongbi in the past if he hadn't withdrawn it during their retreat, before unleashing the powerful **Asura Blood Demonic Technique, Demon Orb: Light of Annihilation**! As the attack hones in on Goo Hwi, he prepares to take it head on.

Further back in the tunnel, Yongbi takes note of the tremors and mentions that Goo Hwi and Okcheonbi are still fighting and Ilgak tells him to turn back.

Walking through, Soh Jinhong attempts to complete his assassination of "Jang Cheong, the Thunderlord" but Gang Ryong intercepts him, much to Jinhong's shocked incredulity. With Jinhong retreating, Ryong tries to inform the Elder he nearly died and that an assassin was after him for some reason. Cursing his retainer, Jinhong resolves to repay Ryong for interfering.

In the evening, Jinhong arrives at the shrine where the Elder was meditating, with blood-lust in his eyes.

Chapter 26

**The Baekma Valley (7):** With the masses of enemies swarming at him, Gang unleashes "Heavenly Destruction, Thunder Hawk Strike", annihilating his immediate environment and the mighty shockwaves from the technique being felt a great distance away.

Elsewhere, Woobok regains consciousness and mocks Zhao Chung, the man who was currently his jailer. In fear, Zhao stabs Woobok multiple times before standing, only to fall over in a severely drained, dehydrated and decayed state. Woobok stands up and taunts the other two men before attacking them.

Looking at the incredible destruction down below, a visibly unnerved Hwang Gyu wonders why Gang was using such excessive force. Meanwhile, Gang comes to the conclusion that he would have to lay waste to the place if he wanted his wishes to come to fruition. Soh Jinhong walks towards the commotion and observes as some of the Baekma Valley's men get wrecked. Just then Gang appears from the smoke and rubble and questioningly acknowledges Jinhong.

At Jin Garyeong's quarters, Woobok arrived and greeted her, visibly shocking her and Yang Jeonghak.

Chapter 178

**Season 2, Chapter 92:** Hyeol Bi wring Hwan Sa apart and the latter bursts into a flurry of burning charms. As the former sits in silence, Hwan Sa announces that he is inside the Sky Gorge Mountain and that they will speak again once matters are cleared up.

Outside, Jin Garyeong shielded herself from a explosion with her cloak and wonders if it is due to Gu Poison. After hearing the commotion, a host of guards sally out to confront her and coincidentally, Soh Jinhong and Doh Gyeom arrives at the same time. The guards attempt to arrest the trio but when Gyeom refuses and prepares to fight back, tensions escalate. Jin Garyeong warns Gyeom not to kill them because it can trigger the Gu inside but when she recalls how the guard she subdued still exploded despite not taking serious injuries, she decides to take matters in her own hands. However, before both sides could clash, Hyeol Bi halts them with a powerful attack and gently floats down from above. After Hyeol Bi questions his subordinates on the location of Hwan Sa, he sends his subordinates off.

Then the trio and the Black Dragon King introduce themselves to each other and the latter apologizes for his subordinate's actions. Garyeong takes the opportunity to ask on what happened to those that passed through the Northern Gateway and Hyeol Bi allude briefly to what happened during his battle with Gang Ryong. Since Garyeong did not know that Gang fought Hyeol Bi instead of the Sage Forest elders, she studies the damage Hyeol Bi sustained and falsely believes that her grandfather was the one who lost to him. Then the Black Dragon King tells the trio to come at him all at once and releases a massive explosion prompting the trio to evade.

Meanwhile elsewhere, Gang Ryong savagely tear through his opponents.

Chapter 126 (Yongbi)

**Chapter 126:** Sitting in despair in a body of water, Yongbi receives a vision of the Grand General ordering him to slaughter the Horselords who the Grand General considers beasts, and a vision of the Prince angrily telling him that his people are humans just like them. Then Yongbi lashes out, claiming that he had it worse and that he and the Black Lancers fought to wash away their criminal past to become part of society again; to "become human", while the Horselords only had to fight to prove that they are humans. Succumbing to his despair, Yongbi lays down in the water.

Later, Yongbi wakes up in a bed surrounded by the Gold Bug and Biryong. After recovering, Yongbi requests the Gold Bug to find out the fate of the Horselords. The Gold Bug does so and informs Yongbi that the members of the Horselords sold themselves into slavery to survive and then asks Yongbi to accompany him to the murim as the young man has nowhere to return to.

The flashback ends here, and in the present, the Gold Bug reveals that since it was not Yongbi's own will that kept him alive, he does not feel any responsibilities to help the Horselords and that the money he sends is only a minimum payment for letting him keep breathing. Furthermore, the tribe is even refusing to receive the minimum payment. Ultimately, Yongbi is the only one who hasn't been able to move on. However, the Gold Bug is intrigued in the direction Yongbi's life will take when the young's man will is rekindled.

Chapter 34

**The Baekma Valley (15):** At the tavern-at-the-fork, days go by as Chohyang and Yerin run the tavern between them. Chohyang then wonders when Ryong would wake up again, noting it was terrifying to think what he could have done over there for him to be sleeping for so many days. At night, Ryong suddenly wakes up, having noticed an owl staring at him from his window. Realising what its presence meant, he raced out to meet his agent, Jin Garyeong.

Gha Woobok stood at the entrance to the Baekma Valley, overlooking its destruction, as he recalled his conversation with Yang Jeonghak regarding the annihilation of the Valley by the Heavenly Destroyer's disciple; Jeonghak's mentioned their proposal to Woobok but the latter said he wouldn't carry out the request but he would listen to what Jeonghak told him before he made a decision.

As Ryong sits opposite Garyeong, he remembers their first meeting before chewing Garyeong out for not telling him about what else the Valley did as well as the fact that she was the leader of the organisation. She gives an off-handed reply before saying that if he wouldn't listen then she wouldn't tell him that they'd found one of the people Ryong was looking for. As she turned to leave, Ryong, exuding an extremely murderous aura, asked her who they'd found...

Chapter 127 (Yongbi)

**Chapter 127:** Yongbi recalls the Prince's words to him at Yogok Gorge and exclaims that everyone severely misjudges him since they do not know his true goals and motives. He then criticizes Jeok Seong for dedicating his life to revenge despite having earned his freedom. Jeok Seong accuses Yongbi of lying, adding that he did not witness his former commander return to Yogok Gorge. Unable to accept the truth, Jeok Seong runs off, throwing a tantrum in the process. Yongbi and Biryong follows shortly after but not before Hong Ye-Mong reminds Yongbi to give himself up to the Red Bloods after he is finished with his business.

As Jeok Seong wanders through the underground passages, he experiences visions of the traumatic event at Yogok Gorge, and watches as his comrades die around him. He stumbles across a dying Gwi Doh who expresses relief that their commander (Yongbi) is not stuck in the trap with them. As Jeok Seong holds Gwi Doh's body, the visions fade away and the former weeps.

Elsewhere, Hyeon Jae-Yang finally confronts Sanggwan Chaek.

**Doh Gyeom, the Iron Lion (3):** Doh Gyeom's captors get ready to bind him and dispose of Yerin, until Gyeom suddenly gets to his feet, albeit still plagued by the effects of the sleeping draught he had ingested. With the men getting ready to subdue him, Gyeom put two down before saying they should've brought more men to take him down. They proceed to call forth dozens of men, before being ordered to rush him with Doh Gyeom preparing to defend himself.

Meanwhile, at the tavern, Ryong notices that some customers had left some food and is struck by the realisation that it was a bad omen...

Chapter 141

**Season 2, Chapter 55:** Leaving the Sky Gorge Mountain, Yongbi gloats about scaring them but Goo Hwi corrects him and tells him that they let them leave alive to benefit themselves. Meanwhile, Hwang Zu becomes greatly irritated by Yongbi's seemingly arrogant demeanour when thinking back on the encounter. Meanwhile, Hyeol Bi asks Hwan Sa if he had made another hasty judgement, but the latter merely says his opinion no longer mattered. Hwan Sa then wonders exactly what reason the Sage Forest elders had for coming and making such a foolhardy proposition, despite the clear risks, noting that something felt off.

On their way back, Ilgak joins them and reveals that after searching the Sky Gorge Mountain, he found nothing related to the Demonic Cult. Ilgak muses that Goo Hwi may have been wrong on his notion, but the latter replies that they may have just hid it very well. Yongbi then muses that they'd find out soon enough before asking whether there were strong people on Garyeong's side as there were some strong people on Hyeol Bi's side. Goo Hwi then replies that she knew what she was doing...

In the tavern, Hong Ye-Mong enjoys the food with Jin Garyeong. As Goo Hwi muses on anyone strong, we see the faces of Garyeong, Yerin, Doh Gyeom, Yang Jeonghak, Woobok, Soh Jinhong and finally Gang Ryong, who is about to be accosted by some bandits.

Chapter 16 (Yongbi)

**Chapter 16:** Before leaving the Black Snake's stronghold, Cruel Moon Archdemon commands his subordinates to torch the place to tie up any loose ends.

Elsewhere, Yongbi and Biryong is trying to navigate to the Black Snake's stronghold in the complete darkness of the night using Biryong's sense of smell. Suddenly, Yongbi sees the massive fire from the Black Snake's stronghold and starts to make his way there. Not realising that the path they are on is a wooden log stretched over a cavern, Yongbi falls off but he managed to barely hold on.

Back at the stronghold, Goo Hwi lies among some rubble lamenting about his own death as the fires roared around him. Unable to move an inch due to Cruel Moon Archdemon's deadly technique, he finally remembers the Great Asura Regeneration Technique as one of the martial arts of the Asura Blood Sect and that Cruel Moon Archdemon is one of its members. Then Yongbi shows up, happily greeting him. Goo Hwi is so upset by Yongbi's appearance that he faints.

The next morning in the Hobuk province, Sohee watches Hobuk Castle from afar. After humiliating two men who approached her, a Black Snake officer informs her that Elder Myeong has arrived with reinforcements and that they should go over their plan to rescue Goo Hwi one last time. As they enter an inn, a man named Chu Gaho follows them planning to court Sohee. When the innkeeper attempts to stop him from entering, Chu Gaho sends him flying into the inn with a kick and threatens everyone inside, unaware that the inn is full of Black Snake assassins. Then Chu Gaho supposedly attempts to take on the assassins with the Blue Dragon Destroys The Ghosts technique, a move used when fighting against many enemies at once. However, to the shock of everyone, Chu Gaho just disguises himself as a cripple. Then the Black Snake assassins attack him for his insolence.

Upstairs of the inn, Sohee and the other Black Snake officers go over their plan to rescue Goo Hwi. Suddenly, a messenger informs them of an urgent report from the scouts in Hobuk Castle, to which Sohee and the other officers jump to conclusions that Goo Hwi was executed. The messenger then tells them that Goo Hwi had already escaped from Hobuk Castle three days ago but due to the Black Snakes' inept information network, the scouts only just found out. Then they quickly retreat back to Mount Gwe-Heung as the officals in Hobuk Castle have become aware of their presence.

Chapter 104 (Yongbi)

**Chapter 104:** Yongbi's powerful strike launches Goo Hwi and buries him under a mountain of rubble. With Goo Hwi seemingly defeated, Yongbi turns to leave. Suddenly, an explosion blows apart the debris and a heavily injured Goo Hwi stands up, it is revealed that he was able to take on the full force of Yongbi's attack by creating a ki shield. Then Goo Hwi acknowledges Yongbi's strength and mentions that from now on, he will use his most powerful techniques.

Later, Jang-Ryong is wandering around looking for Goo Hwi and he stumbles upon an area with traces of Goo Hwi's strongest techniques.

Meanwhile, Yongbi and Goo Hwi are both completely exhausted from the fight and they decide to end it. Goo Hwi generates an immense amount of ki, giving off heat so intense that Jang-Ryong could feel it from far away while Yongbi prepares to use a technique as well. Then Goo Hwi unleashes the Fire Demon’s Heaven Incinerating Earth Flame, the strongest kill-move of the Seven Step Black Wind Fist!

**Season 2, Chapter 48:** Ryong simultaneously absorbs Nameless' attack and traps him within the strongest Dark Wheel technique. Noticeably unsettled by the technique's effects, Nameless attempts to break free by attacking Ryong with another Welkin Lightning technique but it is swallowed by the Abyssal Void. With Nameless shocked, Ryong then mercilessly returns the Abyssal Void's absorbed attacks upon Nameless.

Lying defeated, Nameless recalls his defeat at the hands of Hyeol Bi and informs Ryong that only death awaited him if he challenged the Black Dragon King.
