Chapter 216

**Season 2, Chapter 130:** A flashback reveals Gang Ryong's conversation with the Dan itself. Gang Ryong is puzzled by the Dan telling him to consume Okcheonbi. It explains that it already gave the young man the power to do it and that he should have felt it when the Asura Demon Lord dug his hands into his body. It then notes that they both have the ability to consume each other and that victory will be decided by the one with the stronger will.

In the present, Gang Ryong and Okcheonbi ferociously clash, with both gosu dealing grievous injuries to each other with each exchange of blows. During the fight, Okcheonbi wonders what happened to Gang in the short time he was gone. Meanwhile from a distance, unaware that Gang had entered the fray, Goo Hwi gazes at the vague silhouettes of them both and wonders if he is getting faint, mistaking the silhouettes for Okcheonbi's body splitting into two and going through strange transmutations. He then decides that all he can do is maintain the current situation, and prepares to give Okcheonbi the win for lasting so long. However, upon thinking about his friends and family, Goo Hwi declares that he will buy time for the others to escape before preparing to use a powerful technique.

Back at the fight, Okcheonbi holds Gang Ryong down and stabs him in the body with his hand, preparing to consume him and the young man also does the same. Then Goo Hwi uses his powerful Heaven Explosive Extermination technique which releases a massively destructive explosion, incinerating Okcheonbi (possibly Gang Ryong as well) and destroying a vast area of the Sky Gorge Mountain. After the dust settles, blood spurts out of Goo Hwi's body and he collapses (most likely suffering from ki overload due to his damaged pressure points). Yongbi rushes over to his old friend, commenting about how he knew Goo Hwi would do that one day and urges him to wake up. Then Hong Ye-Mong arrives with the rest of the party in tow, and Jin Garyeong rushes over to Goo Hwi, telling him to wake up as well. Yongbi also says "dear" to Hong Ye-Mong but she just rebukes him. Then Song Yerin asks who is over in the distance, bringing everyone's attention to a Gang Ryong with long white hair.

## Notes & Trivia

* The bodies of martial artists (and regular humans) have various important points on the body that determine ki output as well as one's mortality. There are twelve ki veins and eight erratic ki passages which are joined by the regular flow of one's ki. As well as that, a person has nine fatal points. If these fatal points are disrupted and a person continues using their martial arts, these fatal points will burst causing a ki overload and ultimately death.
Chapter 105 (Yongbi)

**Chapter 105:** Yongbi counters Goo Hwi's strongest move with his Nine Dragon Fangs technique and the impact of both techniques clashing creates a massive explosion and shock wave. The clash is also felt by people all around the Muhae Valley.

Afterwards, Jang-Ryong emerges from the rubble and goes looking for Goo Hwi but only finds a tremendous fissure and the area completely leveled. Far away elsewhere, Hyeon Jae-Yang is conversing with Cheonwoong Faction members Jin Paechu and Ga Mugwang when he senses the clash and realizes that Goo Hwi is in the Muhae Valley. He fears that Goo Hwi may be after the Golden Castle and combined with the Murim Alliance's scheming ways, it may culminate into an unfavorable situation. Then Hyeon Jae-Yang orders the faction members to return to their headquarters while he hurries off to find Sanggwan Chaek. Meanwhile, Hong Ye-Mong orders the Red Bloods to retreat and evacuate Elder Muk while she goes deal with some business in the Muhae Valley. Before being evacuated, Elder Muk tells Hong Ye-Mong to forgive Yongbi for slashing him. As the members of the Asura Blood Sect navigate through some underground passages, Cruel Moon Archdemon feels pain from the wounds inflicted by Yongbi and Goo Hwi. In an unknown place, the mysterious old man holds the Golden Medallion over Sanggwan Chaek and prepares to heal him.

Chapter 191

**Season 2, Chapter 105:** Within his mind, Gang Ryong experiences a painful transformation by the Dan where he turns red and screams in pain, before his limbs are twisted off of him, and then the remaining torso begins to fade away into dust. In reality, Hyeol Bi looks at Gang, commenting that he thought he destroyed the River Dragon Armour and wonders what Gang is up to now.

Meanwhile, Gang Ryong mentions that he thought he died and wonders if the transformation he experiences was just a dream before noticing that his body has changed, becoming skinnier and lighter. After performing a powerful stomp, Gang notices Hyeol Bi and finally remembers that he was fighting him and that the Armour told him to unleash the Dan but also notes that his memory is fuzzy. When Gang turns to look at the severely wounded Doh Gyeom, Soh Jinhong, and Jin Garyeong on the ground, Hyeol Bi is angered that his opponent is looking down on him by ignoring him. He charges Gang, gripping his head and pins him against a wall. The Black Dragon King then praises Gang's recovery powers, noting it even surpasses those of the Life Drain Technique's successor (Gha Woobok). He then tries to attack Gang with a strike but the young man stops it, calling Hyeol Bi the strongest foe he had ever faced and then says that he has a feeling he's not going to lose this time before throwing his opponent against the wall, destroying it. Hyeol Bi rises from the rubble and angrily releases a massive explosion.

**Season 2, Chapter 127:** Yongbi and Okcheonbi's ferocious clash rages on with both men exchanging attacks but unable to land any of them. Then Yongbi uses his Black Shattering Blast technique and Okcheonbi dodges it at first but the blast changes direction and closes in on him from the back. However, Okcheonbi manages to block it and notes it may be rather troublesome. Yongbi tells his opponent to stop acting surprised and unleashes nine powerful blasts which Okcheonbi counters, resulting in a massive explosion. When the dust settles, the Asura Demon Lord pops out of the ground and attacks with his Incorporeal Explosive Crushing technique. Yongbi jumps backward, evading the attack while Okcheonbi closes in on him, questioning Yongbi on how long he thinks he can keep dodging. The irritated Yongbi comments that if someone heard Okcheonbi, they would think he (Yongbi) is the one on the run the entire time. Okcheonbi then uses his the Winds of Death, Tunneling Wheels and Yongbi counters with the Adamantine Spiraling Spear technique. Yongbi loses the clash and is sent crashing backwards into a wall. Okcheonbi confronts his downed opponent, commenting that even though Yongbi has gotten more powerful, his stamina did not, adding that even a man like him can do nothing against the flow of time. In response, Yongbi agrees and says that if he knew things were going to turn out like this, he would have gave up training and gone on a quest to find the Dan. At that, Okcheonbi comments about how the thought of that is terrifying and tells him to work it out with Hwan Sa in hell to which Yongbi says he's feeling a bit shy and tells Okcheonbi to go ahead and tell Hwan Sa first.

Angered, Okcheonbi prepares to attack once more but pauses as he struggle to control the power of the Dan and Yongbi uses the opportunity to strike with the Blazing Dragon Obliteration technique. Meanwhile elsewhere, Gang Ryong's Dan heals him and the young man emerges from underneath some debris.

With this information, Hyeon Jae-Yang comes to the conclusion that the Prelate is going to use the most powerful move of the Incorporeal Demonic Techniques, and notes that Goo Hwi cannot win.

**Season 2, Chapter 107:** As Gang Ryong cut through Hyeol Bi with his chop, a Revived Heavenly Destruction Sect warrior nearby passes away from Gang's earlier attack, causing the Gu inside him to detonate. Gang turns his head to look at the resulting explosion and Hyeol Bi take the opportunity to perform a powerful strike, knocking his opponent away. Hyeol Bi yells at Gang to remind him to keep his focus on him and when the dust settles, notices that Gang had blocked his attack. The young man replies that he remembers Hyeol Bi's words and states he just wanted to feel how strong it would be for him. As Gang start emanating a blue aura while walking towards Hyeol Bi, the latter notes that if Gang attacks him with such "spiritual ki" while he still haven't fully recovered yet, it would be fatal and wonders why his opponent isn't attacking. Hyeol Bi muses about Gang not knowing how to use such attacks because he had only just unlocked the power of the Dan and that even he who trained tirelessly in the Palace of Conception did not acclimate to its powers easily. As Hyeol Bi start to think his odds of winning is increasing, Gang rushes him, slicing the top half of his head off before relentlessly ripping his body to shreds.

A short while later, Hyeol Bi is pushed back a whole lot, leaving a trail of blood behind. Watching his opponent regenerating his injuries, Gang compliments his recovery powers and in response, Hyeol Bi says it is due to the power of the Dan and that Gang wields it as well. After Gang mentions that everything will end with Hyeol Bi's death, the latter questions about Hwan Sa. But Gang notes he doesn't know who Hwan Sa is and reveals his revenge is to slay the three disciples who back stabbed his master. At that, Hyeol Bi realizes Hwan Sa meddled with Gang's memories and declares he will kill them both anyways. In reply, Gang reminds his opponent he was no match for him in use of ki and hand-to-hand combat before his opponent had the Dan and that they are back in the same position now he has a Dan of his own. The Black Dragon King confidently announces he can use the power of the Dan to the fullest while Gang only has an increase in speed and power before turning invisible. Hyeol Bi punches at Gang's head, but the latter quickly dodges it before blasting the former against the wall and slicing his body apart. As Hyeol Bi notes he cannot be killed with such attacks, Gang follows up with the 'Heavenly Destruction, Crushing Lightning' which turns Hyeol Bi into a bloody stain on the wall. Then Gang notices the Red Dan in Hyeol Bi's wake and as it starts gathering the blood around it, he readies his fist and punches it, shattering the Red Dan.

He deduces that the town was set up for Heukweol to fight Yongbi in and that the former had memorized the entire layout. He also notes that the sister's job was to inform Heukweol with her flute of any additional information, and praises Heukweol's extraordinary talent.

**Chapter 106:** Yul Mugi traverses underground accompanied by Arong. The boy looks at all the corpses and try to console himself that the men deserved their deaths for pursuing the Golden Castle but broke down in tears from remorse.

Elsewhere, Sanggwan Chaek wakes up and discovers that someone had poured incredible inner ki into his body. Then he wonders where is, unable to remember anything after being knocked unconscious by Jincheon. Grabbing the Golden Medallion, Sanggwan Chaek forces himself up and explores the area despite having a few broken ribs. Then the medallion activates and a beam of light guides him to the entrance of the Golden Castle. Somewhere else, the mysterious old man mentions that he can feel the roar of the raging three-headed dragon. At the Golden Castle's entrance, Sanggwan Chaek approaches it and inserts the medallion into a slot which opens the entrance up. As this is happening, the mysterious old man enters the room Sanggwan Chaek was lying in before and discovers that the latter is gone. The old man then notices the opening of the Golden Castle's entrance.

Back with Sanggwan Chaek, he enters and finds the Golden Castle filled to the brim with treasures and gold but his attention is focused on only one thing, the legendary Lightning God's Blue Dragon Sword sitting on a pedestal among the treasure. The old man rushes to stop Sanggwan Chaek from taking the sword since he knows the young man is unable to control it. However, it is too late and Sanggwan Chaek stabs the old man. This causes a beam of light to shoot into the sky and causes thunder and lightning to occur (possibly signifying that Sanggwan Chaek has obtained the power of the lightning god).

Elsewhere, Biryong finally finds the unconscious Yongbi underground.

Later however, Jinhong effortlessly slaughters them and the leader notes that Jinhong isn't just some ordinary kid before succumbing to his fatal injuries. Hot on the old man's trail, Jinhong continues chasing him in locations ranging from the scorching desert to cold winter lands, cutting down everyone the old man put in his way.

Later in an unknown winter land, Soh Jinhong rests for the night inside a broken down old house, recalling a poor family that lived in the very house who showed him and the old man hospitality in the past. Then Yang Jeonghak enters the house, commenting about how he doesn't like the cold but is a good season to hunt someone down. He then mentions that Jinhong took down a band of assassins known as the "Singi Squad" recently. He also takes note of the old blood stains inside, speculating it must be the blood of the family that used to reside there. Jeonhak pins the killing on the Singi Squad since they were based around that area before noting that since they were eliminated by Jinhong, none of those killings will happen anymore. Jeonghak then pessimistically says the deed is pointless to those no longer alive before sitting in front of the fire across the sword master.

Chapter 21 (Yongbi 2)

**Chapter 21:** A flashback reveals Heukweol's past. Since he was the bastard son of Lord Moonjoo, and his mother was of lowly status, he would be beaten when he called Lord Moonjoo father. He was regulated to doing chores but the servants wouldn't allow him to considering his status as the lord's son. As Heukweol sat around doing nothing, he took this opportunity to listen to everything around him such as his younger brother Biweol's martial arts training.

Having learned the martial arts just by listening, Heukweol showcased his incredible talent by smashing several humongous iron bells meant for Biweol's training. However, this only enraged his father further who beat him senseless and and berated him for stealing their martial arts. The members of the faction begged Lord Moonjoo to start training Heukweol, citing his incredible talent despite being blind but he vehemently refused.

Eventually, Lord Moonjoo exiles Heukweol, allowing him to live however he pleases accompanied by an extremely gifted and talented girl, Yeonhwa who is capable of memorizing all secret techniques and martial arts. Heukweol once again begs Lord Moonjoo to allow him to call the man father and work under him as an assassin but the latter angrily tells him to leave.

As Heukweol and Yeonhwa make their way across the lands, they bond and Heukweol tells the young girl to call him big brother instead of young master as he saw no differences between people of high and low social status. Later that night, Heukweol discovers Yeonhwa's amazing memorization abilities and that she even interpreted the legendary Lu Family's Spear Style (although not fully). From just having Yeonhwa explain the spear style to him, Heukweol was able to use the Lu Family's Spear Style!

However, Jinhong blocks the attack, noting that he was only able to do so in his exhausted state because the Thousand Phoenix Destruction Sword and his Thousand Sage Flash Sword are essentially the same skill due to the Flying Flash Sword being a mere copy of Jin Yurim's style of swordsmanship. Then, thinking about Ryong's remark that he is the fastest swordsman he has ever seen, Jinhong unleashes one final attack on Jin Yurim. His opponent seemingly evades it by jumping back but a moment later, he proceeds to fall apart, having been cut into pieces by Jinhong's swift attack.

**Season 2, Chapter 29:** Soh Jinhong recalls what Yang Jeonghak informed him on how to avoid and circumnavigate the effects of illusions. Using this knowledge to defeat the old man's newest assassin, Jinhong suddenly realises he is coming under the effects of a poison. With the old man warning Jinhong that he will die if he overexerts himself while the poison was in his body, Jinhong pushes through the pain to perform Thousand Sage Flash Sword in an attempt to take the old man down.

With Jinhong falling to the ground unconscious, the old man, injured from the attack, muses that if it wasn't for the Baekma Valley's interference, Jinhong would have become the perfect weapon to slay *them*.

Chapter 3

**Heuk Lan, Mistress of the Bewitching Flowers:** The Bewitching Flowers are introduced with their leader, Heuk Lan the Architect of Death. The Gold Dragon Guild ask of their services in taking out Nue Dong, because they had heard of the Bewitching Flowers' lack of repercussions even if they did fail in assassination. Heuk Lan happily accepts their offer, but humorously flies into rage once they had left, believing that they had "humiliated" her.

Later, having completed a bridge trap, the Bewitching Flowers complimented Heuk Lan on her work before Gang suddenly came racing by, completely shocking them that he hadn't set the trap off. Wondering who or what had gone by, Heuk Lan wonders why the bridge hadn't collapsed and steps on it only for it to fall underneath her. As her subordinates helped her, Nue Dong saw the bridge was unusable and walked in another direction. Meanwhile, Gang delivers the Elder his dumplings.

Having set up another trap for Nue Dong, Gang once again casually races past without setting off the trap, eliciting Heuk Lan to call him back over. Gang comes back over, again failing to set off the trap; Heuk Lan throws a stone on the ground in confusion, causing the lethal trap to spring up. Heuk Lan then furiously manhandles Gang, demanding to know who he was and what connections he had with Nue Dong as the traps he had ruined were meant for the latter. Overhearing what she had said, Nue Dong confirms their words causing the Bewitching Flowers to flee. Nue Dong gets ready to hunt them but first attacks Gang who easily steps out of the way. Surprised that his attack was evaded, Nue Dong relentlessly attacks a flustered Gang who then 'accidentally' sends Nue Dong hurtling away before fleeing himself hoping no-one had seen his actions. With Gang having saved them, an infatuated Heuk Lan asks her girls what she should do.

Back at the tavern, Heuk Lan spies on Gang chilling with Yerin and seethes from the trees, believing that Gang had flirted with her.

Chapter 12 (Yongbi 2)

**Chapter 12:** As Yongbi rests in a hot spring, a colossal boulder comes flying towards him but he dodges it and deflects two smaller ones. Then another barrage of stones and logs comes flying out of the forest and obliterates the area he is in. Coming out, Goo Hwi inspects the aftermath noting that he was just testing Yongbi, and upon noticing a large pool of blood, he amusingly mentions that Yongbi is weaker than he thought. However, upon seeing Yongbi unscathed, Goo Hwi notices that the pool of blood is from a nearby dead deer. Then Yongbi strikes Goo Hwi with a powerful attack for the latter's silly antics.

Later over a drink, Goo Hwi tells Yongbi that So Jinmyung was sent to Geumcheonbo to learn how to be a merchant under Yul Mugi. The boy's mother was sent to Hobuk castle for medical treatment, and that her sight is expected to recover but nothing can be done about her amnesia. It is also revealed that Goo Hwi was the one tailing and protecting the child. Then Goo Hwi inquires on the identity of So Jinmyung's father, noting that he was arrested for murder before the boy was born, and Yongbi cryptically answers that the boy's father was a fellow member of the Black Lancers. When Goo Hwi asks for his commission fees, Yongbi repeats the cryptic message and repeatedly dodges the question. Realizing that Yongbi doesn't intend to pay, Goo Hwi brawls with him.

Elsewhere, Biryong is fishing for food.

Chapter 37

**Doh Gyeom, the Iron Lion (2):** Coming back from a delivery, Ryong gets a message from the Elder but Chohyang tells him to ignore it as she wasn't going to run the tavern by herself. In his room at Yellow Dragon Mountain, the Elder furiously berates the student monks outside his room who are offering to feed him. Seeing his messenger pigeon return a message to him, the Elder realises he wouldn't be getting any food and fruitlessly calls out to his long-gone student monks.

Meanwhile, Yerin frustratedly leads the man through the forest, passing an acquaintance on her way, until they reach the entrance to Yellow Rock Village. With her job seemingly done, the man asks if he could buy her a meal in gratitude and Yerin accepts his proposal. He thanks her, getting her name confused, and introduced himself as Doh Gyeom. At the tavern, Ryong overhears some customers talking about a recent event that had been sparked by the presence of Yerin and wonders why she wasn't back yet. At the eatery, Yerin once more goes over Doh Gyeom's story of his sister's benefactor and concludes that all the evidence points to one person, although the name was too different. Doh then gazes at Yerin, blushing as he does so, and then proceeds to reveal he may have fallen in love with her. However, he is interrupted by Yerin spitting her drink in his face causing him to call his earlier words a joke. Yerin then shakily tells him not to eat the food as there was something in it before passing out. A visibly alarmed Doh calls out to her, only to succumb to the same fate.

At the tavern, Ryong muses about an uneasy feeling he had, whilst at the eatery some shady looking men loom over Yerin's unconscious form.

Meanwhile, regrouping with Yang Jeonghak and Hwang Gyu, Garyeong finds out about the revived Heavenly Destruction Sect's slaughter of the core factions of the Murim Alliance and frantically proceeds to organise her forces in response.

Chapter 119 (Yongbi)

**Chapter 119:** Hyeon Jae-Yang examines the unconscious Goo Hwi and wonders how the latter is resisting the effects of the Demonic Technique's poison. The elderly man guesses that Goo Hwi either learned an incredibly powerful reflective ki barrier technique or received help from someone whose medical arts have reached the level of a sage. He then orders the Young Lady to evacuate Goo Hwi while he goes deal with a different matter.

Meanwhile, Jincheon despair over the death of Cruel Moon Archdemon when he is unexpectedly approached by Hwangbo Soong's servant who reveals himself to be a member of the Asura Blood Sect. The man chastised Jincheon and Cruel Moon Archdemon for chasing after the Lightning God's Blue Dragon Sword against the Grand Prelates wishes and bringing shame to the Sect. Furthermore, the man calls Cruel Moon Archdemon not worthy of being a Prelate. Jincheon pleads for the man to understand that their actions were done out of loyalty for the Sect and prays that the Sect fulfils their dream of conquering the Middle Kingdom. The man acknowledges their loyalty and then executes Jincheon.

With that done, the man calls out to Hyeon Jae-Yang to bring him out of hiding. The man assures Hyeon Jae-Yang that there is no need for conflict as he was only in the Muhae Valley under the Grand Prelate's orders to stop Cruel Moon Archdemon and bring the Prelate back to the Sect, adding that the death of Cruel Moon Archdemon and their outdated information on the Middle Kingdom will push back the Sect's plans to invade the Middle Kingdom by at least ten years. Responding to the declaration of war, Hyeon Jae-Yang questions the man on his true identity. The man introduces himself as Mad Blood Archdemon who is the third Prelate of the Asura Blood Sect and also the most brutal. It is also revealed that he is currently disguised using the Bone Contraction Technique to give himself a different appearance. When Mad Blood Archdemon leaves, Hyeon Jae-Yang readily welcomes him to a battle in ten years.

Elsewhere, Yongbi responds to Jeok Seong's claim that no other Black Lancers survived the trap at Yogok Gorge by laughing and insults them for being weak which enrages Jeok Seong.

Chapter 208

**Season 2, Chapter 122:** Deep inside the Sky Gorge Mountain, Gang Ryong obliterates the area around him and Hwan Sa's body is crushed by large debris in the process. Meanwhile, Hong Ye-Mong detects the explosion and wonders if it is Gang's work, knowing it is not because of the elders. She then notices Song Yerin deep in thought and asks her if she is feeling ill. Yerin denies being ill and reveals that the guardian spirit she put on Gang told her that the young man went unconscious for a moment before waking up again. However, they are now too far away so she can't tell what is going on at the moment. Ilgak mentions that Gang must be near some nasty things and Jin Garyeong humorously wonders if those things are the old men. The Ice Jade Empress of the Fan then asks if Soh Jinhong and Doh Gyeom are still being treated. As Garyeong reply that it is hard to tell, Hong Ye-Mong interrupts, noting that they should get ready to leave since it's getting harder for her to keep the barrier up.

Elsewhere, debris drop from the ceiling and Yongbi looks up, noting that there's a ruckus above them. Angered by his opponent's demeanor, Okcheonbi charge the elders and unleashes a flurry of attacks while acknowledging their brazenness to be distracted from him. The elders both evade the first attack and then Yongbi blocks the second barrage while Goo Hwi dodges it as he closes in on his foe. Goo Hwi mentions that Okcheonbi should be the one concentrating before launching a powerful punch. However, Okcheonbi blocks the punch with the blade of his sword and simultaneously counter attacks with a slash while declaring that with the Blade of Waterfalls, attack and defense happens in the same breath. Yongbi protects Goo Hwi by knocking back the sword and smugly tells Okcheonbi that he's losing his touch for fighting one against two after all these years. At that, Goo Hwi performs a series of vicious slashes on the Grand Prelate and Yongbi follows up by blowing off his head and upper part of the chest, exposing the Dan. Okcheonbi spins his sword, fending off the two elders and regenerates himself. Staring down his opponents, Okcheonbi acknowledges that the battle is one against two and that he should raise the challenge. When Yongbi notes that they need to disintegrate the Dan inside Okcheonbi to end the fight, Goo Hwi starts gathering his ki and mentions that Okcheonbi seem to want to drag the fight out and enjoy it like a game but the elders do not intend to make the fight long. After the Grand Prelate realizes that Goo Hwi is preparing to use a ki attack, Yongbi unleashes a couple of strikes, forcing Okcheonbi to defend himself which buys his comrade more time. After gathering an immense amount of intense, heated ki energy, the Heaven Ravager King unleashes his strongest technique, the Fire Demon’s Heaven Incinerating Earth Flame! With Yongbi following up with his Black Shattering Blast, Fire Dragon Rising technique.

Chapter 13 (Yongbi 2)

**Chapter 13:** On the Gold Bug's ship, the Gold Bug provides Yongbi with the documentation and Intel the young man requested. On the deck of the ship, Gongson Seung feeds Biryong with meat laced with drugs, intending to obtain some of Briyong's seed with a decoy mare. Meanwhile, Yongbi wonders why it is so noisy on the deck and prepares to leave but the Gold Bug distracts him with a luxurious and hefty meal. Yongbi accepts the meal but finds it strange that someone as stingy as the Gold Bug would provide such a meal free of charge.

Later, Yongbi leaves with Biryong and the Gold Bug's servants informs the old man that they failed to obtain Biryong's seed due to the horse's rampage, much to the Gold Bug's anger.

Nameless meekly abides by the command until they reach a place he felt was faraway enough from Ryong's residence. He then stops and makes his intentions extremely clear to an ever increasingly irate Wungang. Seeing that there was no other option, Wungang prepared to face down Nameless until Ryong suddenly appeared asking if they were the two who had previously come to Yellow Dragon Mountain. The two continue to argue and, as Ryong steps forward to ask more questions, Wungang mercilessly begins to attack him with a flurry of strikes.

Chapter 49

**Doh Gyeom, the Iron Lion (14):** As Gang Ryong turns to leave after flooring "Gyeom" expecting him to be unconscious, however he returns to his feet and attacks again, much to Ryong's surprise and chagrin. Ryong simply hits him with Heavenly Destruction, Five Ring Palmstrike and tells him to stay down but "Gyeom" recovers and attacks once more, eliciting a shocked response from Ryong who was amazed he was even able to move."Gyeom" states that Ryong better take the fight seriously or he'll end up regretting it, adding he would eventually kill everyone if Ryong didn't stop him.

Ryong nonchalantly brushes of the statement and warns "Gyeom" not to move. However, "Gyeom" tries to move but ends up buckling from the effects of Ryong's previous strike. Ryong explains the effects of the technique and warns him again not to move before leaving, but "Gyeom" ignores his words and tries to attack again only to realise his efforts were missing their mark. As Ryong watches him get to his feet again, he concludes why "Gyeom" was still able to move despite being hit with Five Ring Palmstrike. "Gyeom" then says that even if Ryong escapes, he would find him and kill both him and Yerin before lunging at Ryong again. Ryong intercepts the lunge and wonders why "Gyeom" would risk his life for someone so meaningless before hitting him with a palm strike and noting he wouldn't be able to use martial arts again.
