Chapter 102.Nightmare

Koom- Kugugugung-!

The surrounding area fell apart with a loud noise.

Atthe same time, the floor shook dangerously.

Pian Mu blinked.

Cho Ryu Hyangs Formless Formation was finally beginning to make its move.

ButPian Mu wasnt surprised orconfused atall.

He simply smiled casually ashe slowly observed the changes.

He was trying to find something.

He then walked over the the center of the formation wherethe most amount of energy was condensed andsat down comfortably.

Kuhehe, this elder will personally teach you how weak your attacks are infront of me.

.

Cho Ryu hyang didnt respond.

No, he couldnt respond.

Inorder to create a formation inside a formation, he needed to create an extremely complicated equation.

An equation thatcouldnt logically be handled by a human being.

He had to do the impossible.

Ashe continuously drew several strange shapes onthe floor, he ceaselessly solved something inhis head.

Then, inthe middle of wandering inthe mountain of equations, Cho Ryu Hyang paused.

His eyes widened.

Someone had suddenly come into his mind.

Teacher

The first man whomanaged to create a formation inside a formation, with his own body atthat, was Cho Ryu Hyangs teacher, Jo Gi Chun.

Cho Ryu Hyangs body trembled atthe thought of his teacher.

He looked down atthe equations he had created onthe ground with a huge frown.

Thatfrown soon turned to amazement the more he looked atthe floor.

And a different feeling arose apart from his amazement.

It was sadness.

Ha haha.

Cho Ryu Hyang looked down fora second andlaughed tiredly.

He had just realized how great of a person Jo Gi Chun was.

You were able to solve such an equation insuch an urgent time?

The equation thatJo Gi Chun used forhis last formation.

WhenCho Ryu Hyang looked over thatequation, he had trembled from awe.

Jo Gi Chun was prepared to die from the very beginning.

He was trying his best to protect his disciple from the very beginning.

A formation within a formation wasnt something thatcould ever be created by a human.

A human would die whentrying to create one.

What the hell? Kid, did you go crazy orsomething?

Pian Mu became confused whenCho Ryu Hyang suddenly began to laugh.

He didnt know whyCho Ryu Hyang had suddenly turned weird.

Should I punch you awake orsomething beforewe start?

Cho Ryu Hyang flinched atPian Mus voice, andsmiled.

.Ah, I had forgotten about you. Dont worry. Everythings going according to plan.

Cho Ryu Hyang lifted his head. His eyes had turned red.

Atthe same time, cold air blew in.

.Hoh?

It was intense killing intent thatcaused ones skin to crawl.

The amount of rage thatemanated from Cho Ryu Hyang caused Pian Mu to smile.

He was very familiar with this kind of rage.

A painful memory, huh?

Cho Ryu Hyang slowly nodded andshot out several words.

Thanks to you.

Hehe. Good. Very good. This will be fun.

Pian Mus eyes got filled with intense joy.

You see. Im not a person whocant get his hands tied over here by the likes of you. Last warning: stop here.

Pian Mus lips twitched several times, then he burst into a laughing fit.

Kuhahaha! Just how could humans be this arrogant? You still have something to show me? Sure, show it to me then. Ill take anything you throw atme.

Ill give you just that.

Chuaa-

Cho Ryu Hyang erased all the equations thathe previously drew onthe floor.

He then tied his hair into a ponytail andsmiled bitterly.

This is a life I attained due to the sacrifice of my teacher. I cannot waste such a thing here.

Kekeke, a humans life is like those of a bug anyway. Do you honestly think your life is worth anything?

Youll see.

Cho Ryu Hyang became enraged athimself ashe spoke.

He had complained to himself how much his life was worth all the time, butit seemed he was actually being proud of it.

He had just gotten this life thanks to the sacrifice of others, didnt he?

Evenhis teacher, Jo Gi Chun, died forhim.

Forhim, whohad no talents norstrength, his teacher had to sacrifice himself.

I have to live.

Cho Ryu Hyang realized whyhe had to try to survive.

My life is worth literal tonnes of gold.

Cho Ryu Hyang, nowthathe realized the worth of his life, put his hands to.

Do you know the last thing my teacher had taught me?

Who knows? Does it relate to whatever youre doing now?

Of course it does. This is my teachers formation, afterall.

A formation within a formation.

Ifone wanted to create that, one would have to have a very strong nucleus forthe formation.

Something thatwouldnt break under any amount of pressure.

My teacher used his life asthe nucleus, but

He couldnt afford to do that.

Becauseof that, he decided to take a different approach.

Afterall, he had something thathis teacher did not have atthe time right now.

Cho Ryu Hyang took a deep breath andcleared his head.

I cannot die.

Cho Ryu Hyang was planning onadding a new formation thatwas completely different from the current one right now.

Right then.

Kururu-

With a strange sound, the earth split apart, andhot steam began to blow out from it.

A smell of sulfur came from the steam.

Pian Mu looked down atthe floor with a smile.

Kuhahaha! Do you think you can get out of this alive, boy?

You should worry about yourself.

A ball of light began to gather between Cho Ryu Hyangs hands.

He was combining the powers of the Moon Edge Blade Technique andthe Shura Environment.

Pian Mus eyes shone whenhe saw thatball of light.

It was something thathad injured him before.

It would be a lie to say thathe wasnt interested init.

As expected

Pian Mu narrowed his eyes.

He could see what it was the moment he took a look atit.

Two powers with different properties.

The force thatresulted from the extreme amount of resistance.

It was something thatwas powerful enough to destroy anything inthe world.

Its too dangerous fora single human to have.

Pian Mu was completely enamored by the energy inCho Ryu Hyangs hands.

Meanwhile, Cho Ryu Hyang carefully planted the ball of energy inthe floor.

This is my solution, teacher.

Cho Ryu Hyang had the weapon known asmartial arts, whichwas something thatJo Gi Chun did not have.

Andthis one thing would be the one to change everything.

Kuaaa-!

Cho Ryu Hyang quickly moved back afterplanting the energy.

Pian Mu, however, did not move atall.

He simply made a face of intense joy andenjoyment.

He was curious of what the kid was going to do.

The reason whyhe did not move was becauseof his pride.

Althoughhe only had half his power, it would be more thanenough to deal with anything the kid threw athim.

The kid seemed to have moved outside the formation atabout this time.

He could chase the boy, buthe didnt.

That just wouldnt be fun.

He wouldnt be able to make the boy feel defeated ifhe did that.

Pian Mu was about to make the boy beg forhis little life athis feet.

The injury thathe had sustained from the boy beforewas already completely healed.

His self-recovery truly was outstanding.

Pian Mu was definitely no human.

But still, having a human injure me was surprising.

Pian Mu did not move, evenwhileseeing the sea of lava come athim.

The sea of lava, the moment it touched Pian Mu, scattered away.

Just his presence alone was able to inflict such a large effect onthe surroundings.

Now, lets break it.

Pian Mu unsealed the power he had repressed inside him.

Dududu-

The area thatPian Mu controlled began to expand.

Whatever touched his zone simply ripped apart to bits.

The force thatcame from the zone was solarge, infact, it was solarge thatit seemed to be capable of destroying eventhunders.

Kuhahaha!

Pian Mu laughed injoy.

This was Pian Mus real strength.

The power of pure destruction, hindered by nothing.

The formation began to distort greatly.

Atthe same time,

The formation began to contract.

Kuun-

Whenthe edges of the formation andPian Mus area came into contact, a huge amount of pressure was exerted onPian Mus body.

Pian Mu frowned.

Butsoon, thatfrown turned into a grin.

Pretty good.

Butthis wasnt enough.

OncePian Mu exerted a bit of strength, the energy thathad been pressuring him was suddenly pushed away.

Kekeke.

Pian Mus area stretched out onceagain.

Andin the end, the formation was not able to take the energy from Pian Mu andbroke with a bang.

Atonce, Pian Mus senses got widened.

Kuhahaha! Is this all, child?

[Of course not.]

The kids voice came from somewhere.

Pian Mu searched forCho Ryu Hyang fora second, then he smiled.

You, you bastard.

There was a giant stone buddha statue infront of him.

A statue solarge, thatPian Mu actually had to bend backwards to see its face.

Andon its shoulder, there was Cho Ryu Hyang, whowas staring down athim.

Looking atCho Ryu Hyangs relaxed pose made Pian Mus eyes spark with rage.

Who the fuck told you to look down atme?

Cho Ryu Hyang looked down atPian Mu andsmiled.

The formation begins now.

Oncethe formation breaks, the next one would begin.

The formation from the beginning was only there asa catalyst forthe other one.

This was the last teaching Jo Gi Chun gave Cho Ryu Hyang.

Chain Formation ().

Cho Ryu Hyang thought up of his teachers face, then slowly stood up.

Time to get punished, Pian Mu.

.You will not die an easy death. You made me extremely angry.

Whatever.

Pian Mu gripped his pestle with somuch force, thatveins started to pop out of his hands.

Cho Ryu Hyang ignored this completely andmade a smashing motion with his hand.

Nn?

The giant buddha followed Cho Ryu Hyangs movements andsmashed down atthe spot wherePian Mu was.

Pian Mus enraged eyes turned to thatof surprise atthat time.

Kuaaaaang-!

The giant stone buddha moved with unimaginable speed.

So you dodged.

Pian Mu barely managed to teleport not too far away. He looked atCho Ryu Hyang with eyes filled with suspicion.

What the hell did you.

A single fist was asbig asa mountain.

It was not easy to dodge.

Andit seemed thatthe buddha wasnt made of normal stone, either.

Seeing how the fist thatsmashed the ground was shining with a blue light, it seemed thatit was made of the Blue Hard Stone, whichwas said to be stronger thansteel itself.

Pian Mu was trying extremely hard to understand what the hell was going on.

However, whenCho Ryu Hyang made his move, Pian Mu was unable to think anymore.

The moves executed by Cho Ryu Hyang this time was much, much more complicated thanbefore.

Shura Environment, First Chapter, Eight Line. Chasing Lightning Kick.

Cho Ryu Hyang kindly explained the name of his move whileexecuting it.

He lightly jumped up andkicked multiple times.

There was a frightening amount of energy thatwas stored within his toes, andthis effect got transferred to the buddha aswell.

Vuun vuun vuun-

The stone buddha imitated Cho Ryu Hyangs actions.

Andon the toes of the buddha, there was a frightening amount of red energy thatcondensed into thatspot.

Pian Mu turned pale whenhe saw just how much energy there was onthe buddha.

This was the beginning of his nightmare.
