Chapter 20

Whirliric.
I could sense hesitation in the eyes of the boys wielding the white horses.
Judging by the sound of their footsteps, there were at least a dozen of them coming this way.
If they continue to fight the Frostbite here, they could become their own prey.
Green. Percussion.
The sound of light digging and stomping feet gradually drew closer.
“You’re lucky!”
The boys of the White Horse, who had bounced the abacus, quickly untangled themselves.
“Let’s go!”
With a short shout, the boys on the white horses took off into the forest in a frenzied dash.
Swoosh.
After retrieving the iron sword from the ground, Bu Eunsul stared at the place where the White Horse Boys had disappeared.
“They didn’t learn the white horse properly.”
Trapped in the wall picture, Bu Eun-sul had deliberately not fought back, only dodged their attacks.
She had carefully observed the white horse’s technique of the Martial Art of the Day and had identified its weaknesses.
“Maybe I should have just killed him.”
When hit by a white horse, not only the flesh but also the muscles explode.
A few hits can immobilize you, but Bu Eun-sul, who has mastered the beast dao, has managed to anticipate all of its attacks and avoid fatal wounds.
“No, I’ll get another chance soon enough.”
Bu Eun-sul was sure.
Those who deemed her a worthy opponent would surely hunt her down.
Avoiding the strong and seeking out and killing the weak is the way to survive a killing field.
Turlough.
The sound of the light saber drew closer to his ears.
“There’s no need to push it.
I hadn’t fought back at all, and my stamina had dwindled considerably from being surrounded by the wall of gold.
There was no point in fighting a large group of them when there were still so many left.
Faat.
Buunseol flung himself into the darkened bushes,
Tadak. Purr.
Meanwhile, a dozen or so of them were swiftly moving through the bush, sweeping past her.
“…….”
When the group left, Bu Eun-sul stood up again and felt a sudden and intense hunger.
It’s been three days since the trials began.
All she’d eaten so far was clear water. The trials would not end in a day or two, so she must eat.
“I have to go there.
After visualizing a place in her mind, Bu Eunseol set off at a fast pace.
Thump, thump, thump.
Every now and then, she would stop running to hit a rock or put her ear to the ground.
It was a way for the beast to expand its senses, to be aware of its surroundings, in case it was ambushed while running blindly to avoid the demons.
Whistling.
A cool breeze whistled past his ears.
After exiting the forest, Bu Eunseol arrived at the same place as Hua Wu’s inspection station.
Hiss.
He opened the door to reveal a large hall divided into three sections, a training hall, and a training room.
Looking at the empty hall, Bu Eun-sul didn’t hesitate to walk into the large hall.
After passing by the place where the serpent was hung, she saw a long hallway. As she walked deeper into the hall, she saw a series of densely packed rooms.
This was the private training room, where practitioners who had entered the Hua Wu Gate could practice martial arts alone.
Iron Grunge.
Bu Eunseol pushed open the iron door of the training room in the far corner.
He pushed aside the table and pulled up one of the wooden floorboards.
It was filled with dried meat.
Yuck.
He pulled out a piece of dried meat and began to chew slowly.
He had scoured the terrain of Hell Island, occasionally hunting down small beasts to make jerky.
“Mmmm.”
The dried meat didn’t have any flavor, but it was enough to satisfy his hunger.
Bu Eun-sul chewed the meat slowly, reverently, like a monk chanting a sutra.
When he was satisfied, he leaned back against the wall of the training room and closed his eyes.
How much time had passed?
“Woohoo.”
Feeling his mind clear and his stiff body rejuvenated, Bu Eunseol slowly opened his eyes.
Although she had lost a lot of blood, it was only a superficial wound. With a little rest, she had fully recovered her strength.
“The sun should be up by now.
Slowly, he pushed himself to his feet, grabbing a few pieces of meat from the floorboards and stuffing them into his arms.
Then he walked back out of the common room.
As he looked up, the distant sky was beginning to brighten.
Life-giving radiance poured down upon the land, but only a murderous air hung in the air of this infernal city.
“The end of this slaughter is …… still far away.”
There was no guarantee that there would even be ten warriors.
Even the Supreme Leader, Liu Yunliang, didn’t even say, “Kill until there are only a few left.
It could be until one is left, or it could be until five.
Tatak.
The vibration of the earth’s spurs rattled past Bu Eunseol’s ears.
The number is four. They were running a certain distance apart, so they must be in a group.
“That’s them.”
The corner of her mouth lifted slightly.
Just from the sound of their footsteps, she had guessed that they were the White Horse’s men.
Sigh.
Subconsciously, he tightened the hilt of the black sword on his back.
Not only was it very light, but it had served its purpose as a backup weapon.
And now Bu Eun-sul was about to acquire another weapon.
* * *
The peak of the Stone Mountain overlooked the entirety of Hell.
There, a muscular old man with a stern expression and a middle-aged man dressed in a robe stood side by side.
They were the head of the clan, Bai Xiaochun, and Bai Xiaochun.
“What is the situation?”
Bai Zhentian asked politely as he unfolded a parchment with the topography of the Infernal Map.
“Out of the eighty-six practitioners, forty-one are still alive.”
“Even after three days, there are still forty-one…….”
“With such a large gathering of talented practitioners, it seems that this situation was predicted. Few are engaged in fierce fighting, and most are acting in packs or establishing strongholds.”
Liu Lianyung nodded with a relaxed expression.
“I see.”
“Actually, I don’t understand it at all, but…….”
Bai Zhen Tian’s gaze down at the infernal map deepened.
“If we had just restricted the area to the vicinity of this stone mountain from the beginning, we wouldn’t have had to go so far, and it would have been cleared up quickly.”
“You mean, instead of gathering them all at once and letting them fight, you’re stalling for time by increasing the area restrictions little by little.”
“That’s right.”
Turning his gaze away, Lian Ning didn’t answer, instead looking down at the landscape of the Infernal City.
It was peaceful at first glance, but there were killing fields everywhere.
He took a deep breath, and the breeze seemed to carry the scent of blood.
“If that happens, you’ll end up like Jay Guan again. The one who can’t even master martial arts survives.”
“You mean Bu Eunseol…… that kid?”
“Yes. Thanks to him, I’ve learned that it’s difficult to determine true skill from a fight in a small area.”
With a low snort, Liu Lianneng narrowed his eyes and said.
“I came to this conclusion after a long meeting with the elders and other leaders of the Ten Doors.”
Recalling that time, Lian Ning said coldly with a displeased expression.
“Rather than just culling them out, let’s take a little time and let them develop all of their abilities, including martial arts, wisdom, leadership, adaptability, and improvisation…….”
“I see.”
Bai Zhen Tian nodded.
Even though he was the leader of the Ten Thousand Night Party, he didn’t dare to attend the meeting of the Ten Demon Warriors.
Only the Demon Lord, the Elders, and the leaders of the Ten Demon Warriors were present. The last person allowed to attend was the Supreme Leader, Liu Lianneng.
“It looks like we’ve only got the proper children left, so we’ll have to let them show their skills gradually.”
He pointed to a piece of parchment in Bai Zhenchuan’s hand.
“First, let’s restrict them from going here as well.”
He pointed to the area near where the Hua Wu Gate had been built.
* * *
Upon returning to the Huayuu Sword Gate, Bu Eunsun’s eyes were unusually radiant.
Although she hadn’t learned the art of stealth or the Divine Laws, she had mastered the Beast Dao, and she was skilled at concealing her presence.
His silent stalking toward the seniors’ quarters was like that of a beast of prey.
“You found my tracks well.
Bu Eun-sul had left a trail of dripping blood to make it easier for the boys of the White Horse to track her down.
Unsurprisingly, they followed the tracks all the way to the Hua Wu Gate.
“That bastard, I think he went this way.”
Following the bloodstains, the boys finally entered the passageway to the seniority room.
At that moment, Bu Eun-sul slowly emerged from behind their backs.
There’s only one way out of the seniority room.
Now that the way out was blocked, the four boys were trapped inside the poison.
“Crazy.”
But the boys just snorted at Buunseol.
“Did you think you’d win by luring us into a narrow passage?”
Whirriik.
Summoning a white horse three sheets long, they grinned confidently.
“Today you die!”
No more conversation. Only a blood-and-flesh contest remained.
“Take it!”
With a thunderous shout, the four boys surrounded Bu Eunseol and swung their white horses.
Boom!
The four stalks of white horses stretched and contracted as they sliced through the air.
The terrifying thing about the White Horse is that it can be lengthened at will, sometimes unleashing a torrent of vegetation that even the caster cannot predict.
Ping! Ping!
Moving like a living snake, the white horse pole moved freely in the air, aiming for Bu Yunxue’s yin blood.
“No?”
But Bu Eunseol didn’t move from her spot.
In fact, despite appearing to be motionless, she was perfectly evading all of the herbivores.
A beast.
The mysterious technique was in full effect.
Roar!
After narrowly avoiding the white horse by a sliver of paper, Bu Eunseol’s sword was finally drawn.
“Argh!”
With a pitiful scream, a fountain of blood erupted from the neck of the boy who had been wielding the white horse.
“What kind of sword technique is this?”
What Bu Eunsun had unleashed was the Ascension Entrance, the first step of the Huayu Thunderbolt Sword.
However, when he unleashed it with the combination of beast and flesh, it transformed into a sharp and brutal lightning sword style.
Flash!
With a brilliant radiance, Bu Eunsun’s iron sword once again produced blood.
“Crunch!”
This time, a scream erupted without fail.
It had stabbed the boy’s elbow joint, which was moving at the speed of a white horse.
It was the only joint that wasn’t wrapped in white cloth.
Pow!
The black sword that had stabbed the elbow was followed by a series of swift sword strikes, and this time, it sliced through the boy’s carotid artery.
Push!
Another fountain of blood erupted,
“Inoom!”
Enraged, the two boys shortened the white horse even further, pressing down on Bu Eun-sun.
However, without the use of the Walling Gold Photograph, the power of the white horse was far less than before.
Their individual skills were not very good.
“Ugh!”
Another scream rang out, and the boy wielding the white horse fell to the ground.
No matter how fast and frantically they swung the white horseshoe, they couldn’t match the herbivore’s ability to predict its direction and path.
-This thing lured us out on purpose!
The boys suddenly realized.
They hadn’t lured her here, but she had lured them here.
She had hidden her skill, and only appreciated their trickery.
“Get out of the way!”
They swung their white horses frantically, but they couldn’t touch a single hair on the fur that blocked the exit.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Suddenly, with a strange sound, something quickly dug into the side of Feng Shui’s flank.
A whirligig.
Feng Shui quickly spun his body into the air.
It was a white-colored white horse that swiftly swept past her shoulder.
Tsk!
In the next instant, the white horse that had flashed past her body suddenly changed direction and slapped her back.
Ting!
He blocked the white horse with the iron sword he drew while spinning, but since he was floating in midair, his body was sent flying all the way to the end of the passageway.
“Now!”
Meanwhile, the two boys who were stuck in the passageway quickly ran towards the exit.
“Hmm.”
Just then, a large shadow leapt out of nowhere, blocking their path.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
The shadow was a large boy with a white horse wrapped around his waist and arms.
