Something flickered in the darkness of the ceiling.

It was a faint thread, so faint that it could not be seen unless they were a warrior at Gu Ja-hwang�s level.

Even then, it moved so fast that it was easy to miss if he wasn�t paying attention.

Plop!

Before he knew it, the demonic thread harvested the lives of his men as if they were crops.

Now, only half of them remained.

But they all had their tails tucked like frightened dogs.

�Ugh!�

�Oh my god!�

Anger surged through him at the sight of his terrified subordinates.

They were not the kind to be consumed by fear.

They were warriors who had fought alongside him on countless battlefields.

Although they were not known to Jianghu as they had only fought outside the Central Plains, they were experts who could hold their own anywhere in Jianghu if they officially went out.

It was extremely painful for him to watch them all scared out of their wits.

It was even worse to think that all of this was due to a single man.

He had only heard the name Pyo-wol, but he really didn�t expect him to be such a terrifying enemy.

Gu Ja-hwang thought of the man who had yet to arrive here.

�Ten Thousand Man Slayer! What on earth are you doing?�

The only one who might have a chance of catching Pyo-wol was the Ten Thousand Man Slayer,� one of the Eight Constellations. Gu Ja-hwang had written a letter to him, asking for support, but he hadn�t heard back.

�Damn it!�

Gu Ja-hwang gritted his teeth.

At this point, waiting for the Ten Thousand Man Slayer was meaningless.

By the time he arrived, they would surely all be slaughtered.

In the end, Gu Ja-hwang would have to deal with all of this himself.

Boom! Boom!

Gu Ja-hwang tore off his cumbersome clothes, revealing his body which was as solid as steel.

His trapezius muscle on his shoulders bulged like a mountain range, and his arms swelled as if about to burst.

He unleashed the Golden Mighty Blood Demon Technique1 to its extreme.�

Once activated, the after-effects were so severe that one would be bedridden for several months, thus, he preferred not to use it unless in dire circumstances.
