Chapter 202

**Season 2, Chapter 116:** As the area start to tremble, Gang Ryong detects the Thousand Circle Formation and wonders who made one of such large size. Then his allies start to feel the effects of the formation and Gang assists Song Yerin while noting they are in a terrible situation since there are normal people or people who don't have the internal strength left to withstand it. Then suddenly, Hong Ye-Mong unleashes a barrier that withstand the effects of the resonance. Gang worriedly asked Yerin if she is alright and the latter replies that she is feeling better now but a moment ago, it suddenly felt like she was being crushed by a rock, not being able to breathe. Hong Ye-Mong says that Yerin is not a fighter, and is lenient on Ilgak but criticizes Jin Garyeong for not training her inner ki more. As Jin Garyeong politely respond that she suffered internal injures from facing a monstrous opponent, an annoyed Ilgak wonders why he is being categorized with them. Hong Ye-Mong refuse to accept Garyeong's excuse, and mentions that everyone says their opponent is monstrous before asking the young lady a rhetorical question about being a member of the Murim. Garyeong tries to reason that her opponent really was an immensely powerful man but the Ice Jade Empress of the Fan cuts her off, saying that she need to train her internal ki in the future.

Then Gang Ryong wonders if Hong Ye-Mong's barrier is some kind of counter technique for a resonance field, and that he didn't even imagine such a thing possibly existed. At that, Hong Ye-Mong announces she temporarily set up a barrier of ki but reveals even she can't last long in that state. She then mentions that they have to leave but she can't move the injured while maintaining the barrier, before asking Ilgak on the condition of Doh Gyeom and Soh Jinhong. Ilgak respond by saying that the two will feel immense pain from the amputations when they wake up and that they must find treatment as quickly as possible. Gang Ryong worriedly questions if their injuries are due to Hyeol Bi and Jin Garyeong reveal that since he lost consciousness, he doesn't remember that the two fought to the death trying to protect him from the Black Dragon King but could only do so much. She then inquired Gang on what happened to him since he supposedly received injuries far worse than the trio. Looking over the unconscious two with regret, Gang calls for the River Dragon Armour. The armour ponders about why Gang is calling for it since he already possess the power of the Dan and the young man asks if it know where Gyeom and Jinhong's limbs are. The armour initially declares that it only does the bidding of its owner but Gang easily convinces it that he is its master. The armour even goes as far as declaring it will never involve itself with anyone else but Gang. At that, the armour zips into a pile of debris before emerging with Gyeom and Jinhong's limbs, and then attaches them back. As Hong Ye-Mong, Ilgak, and Garyeong watches in awe and discuss about the armour, Gang disappears.

After traversing through a series of tunnels, Gang Ryong finally confront Hwan Sa who was waiting for him. The Spirit Lord acknowledges Gang's power compared to Hyeol Bi, praising the young man's ability to move within the Thousand Circle Formation without resistance and Gang declares that he has come to avenge his master. Hwan Sa calls Gang impatient and that he went through the trouble of luring him there so his companions don't get in the way. The young man questions if Hwan Sa's motivation for luring him there was because he was afraid of Hong Ye-Mong intervening and the Spirit Lord denies it.

Elsewhere, Goo Hwi annihilates Okcheonbi's puppets while the latter stares in shock. Visibly struggling against the resonance field, the Heaven Ravager King mentions his annoyance with Gang Ryong for not using the Thousand Circle Formation against him during their duel despite knowing such a great technique and wonders if the young man really went easy on him for being old. Okcheonbi smirks and tells Goo Hwi not to overexert himself and that even though he may pretend to be fine, his body must feel heavy like rocks and that it must be difficult to use ki while withstanding the pressure of the resonance field. Okcheonbi then says that all his opponent can do is simply face the ones that come close to him and wonders how many techniques he can withstand in that state. However, Goo Hwi rapidly closes in on the Grand Prelate and strikes him with an immensely powerful punch while revealing that his body does feel a bit heavy but it doesn't limit him enough that he can't deal with his opponent.
