Chapter 211 – Breaking Through the Sky
“However, I refuse.”
Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes shone pink with a firm tone and strong will.
“Your methods are wrong. If you truly wanted to correct this unjust world, you should not have become unjust yourself.”
“Are you talking about the villagers used as sacrifices? It was an unavoidable sacrifice for the greater good!”
“Sacrifice should be decided by oneself, not by others. You should have known that if you feel pain, others can feel it too. You should not have disregarded the pain of others.”
“Even though those ignorant people have despised us for dealing with demons and turned a blind eye to our suffering?”
Hong Yeon-hwa nodded with an unwavering attitude.
“Even so, you should have done it that way.”
Hong Yeon-hwa pronounced each word with force, and every time she did, the demon behind her grew in size and ominousness.
“The demons that Lady carries are the suppressed screams of small and insignificant people and a rusty dagger buried in her heart that has never been drawn.”
She had the momentum to crush it with a handful of blood at any moment. No, a piece of rock from the ground had already been crushed by her momentum.
Kuuuuuuung!!
A powerful blow that shook the ground. However, unlike before, the ground did not flip over or form a circle.
A hole was punched in the shape of a giant fist, showing how much power was concentrated.
Underneath it, Un Mu-yong, protected by a millennium demon wrapped in the Ho Shin River, was still bowing his head in the same posture as when he reached out his hand.
“Is that why you speak to me like that?”
When Un Mu-yong let out a deep sigh and raised his head, something like madness was burning dimly in his eyes.
“Then I’ll check if you can do that too.”
Kwaaaaaaaang!
As if there was no more conversation, Hong Yeon-hwa’s fist flew towards him.
However, this time, Un Mu-yong seemed to have expected it and easily avoided it with the help of the surrounding millennium demons.
Un Mu-yong, who sprang out of the pit, pointed to a corner of the battlefield.
“Look over there.”
Along his finger, the battlefield where the demons were fighting with the martial arts masters and the samarans was revealed.
“Useless work!”
Hong Yeon-hwa’s hand flew towards him as if to say that it was a waste of time. She must have thought that a simple punch would not be enough, as she used a sharp technique with her fingertips, which was executed on the body of the giant demon.
Kaddddddook!
A powerful blow that tore the ground apart. Despite breaking one of the millennium demons’ arms, Un Mu-yong simply pointed in the same direction and spoke.

Kaddddddook!
A powerful blow that tore the ground apart. Despite breaking one of the millennium demons’ arms, Un Mu-yong simply pointed in the same direction and spoke.
“Cheonma. Your beloved Jeong-in is over there. The samaranju must have arrived where he is by now.”
“Hah! Did you think you could shake me that easily? Of course, I expected that! I made preparations for that…”
“You left the Dokwang and Shinsan Guimo behind as a precaution. However, they cannot stop the samaranju. They may be hunting dogs that will eventually be killed, but they are not just any hunting dogs.”
Danggaju and Jegal Gaju. Both were mature warriors who had reached the pinnacle of their martial arts, standing out as the strongest in their respective fields.
However, there was no hesitation in Un Mu-yong’s voice when discussing their defeat.
His tone was as calm and natural as water flowing from top to bottom or the arrival of the moon and stars when the sun sets.
Of course, Hong Yeon-hwa was not a person who would hesitate at this level.
Just as the sharp claws of the demon, which could be called Geomgang, were about to fall on Un Mu-yong again.
The momentum of the Dokwang, which had been felt in the distance, suddenly disappeared.
“What…?”
And then, Jegal Gaju’s momentum, called Shinsan Guimo, appeared.
“Hmm. Looks like they’ve arrived safely.”
As the presence of the two martial arts masters disappeared one after another, even Hong Yeon-hwa had no choice but to turn her head.
The previously noisy battlefield was now filled with silence.
The only things moving were Jinsochan, who was urgently blocking the path of the women in front of him, and a middle-aged man with blood-red hair passing by the fallen Danggaju and Jegal Gaju.
The middle-aged man with a wicked smile… the samaranju was slowly approaching Jinsochan.
As Hong Yeon-hwa was about to run towards Jinsochan, Un Mu-yong’s words pierced her ears.
“Are you going? I won’t stop you. Instead, I’ll kill the martial arts masters you left behind one by one”However, I decline,” said Hong Yeon-hwa, her eyes shining with a determined pink hue. “Your methods are wrong. If you truly wanted to correct this unjust world, you should not have become unjust yourself.”
“Are you referring to the villagers used as sacrifices? It was an unavoidable sacrifice for the greater good!”
“Sacrifice should be decided by oneself, not by others. You should have known that if you feel pain, others can feel it too. You should not have disregarded the pain of others.”
“Even though those ignorant people have despised us for dealing with demons and turned a blind eye to our suffering?”
Hong Yeon-hwa nodded, her attitude unwavering.
“Even so, you should have done it differently.”
With each forceful word, the demon behind her grew in size and ominousness.
“The demons that Lady carries are the suppressed screams of small and insignificant people and a rusty dagger buried in her heart that has never been drawn.”
She had the momentum to crush it with a handful of blood at any moment. No, a piece of rock from the ground had already been crushed by her momentum.

The only things moving were Jinsochan, who was urgently blocking the path of the women in front of him, and a middle-aged man with blood-red hair passing by the fallen Danggaju and Jegal Gaju.
The middle-aged man with a wicked smile… the samaranju was slowly approaching Jinsochan.
As Hong Yeon-hwa was about to run towards Jinsochan, Un Mu-yong’s words pierced her ears.
“Are you going? I won’t stop you. Instead, I’ll kill the martial arts masters you left behind one by one.”
Many will die. Perhaps we will succeed in rebellion, just as Unmu-yong predicted.
Even Myeongwoljin will die here, so Hong Yeon-hwa’s return to her original world is unlikely.
She will likely face relentless pursuit from Unmu-yong. There is no ruler who will spare those who pose a threat to them.
But…even if all of Jungwon becomes the enemy, Jin So-chan, Paeng So-so, and Sama woman can be saved.
Unmu-yong, who noticed Hong Yeon-hwa’s hesitation, spread his arms wide.
“Choose now!”
His voice was filled with a vile pleasure, as if saying, “I suffered, so you should too.”
“Will you save your loved ones and kill the others?”
His mad gray eyes were fixed on Hong Yeon-hwa.
“Or will you kill your loved ones and save those insignificant people you mentioned?”
Uh-deuk.
Hong Yeon-hwa bit her lip, unable to make a quick decision.
Jin So-chan is undoubtedly the most precious existence to Hong Yeon-hwa.
How could she not love the man who made her realize happiness and the meaning of life for the first time?
But the way Hong Yeon-hwa has lived until now does not allow for this.
The Ma-gyo who died for Hong Yeon-hwa and justice, wherever they may be.
Cheon-ma.
That name, which had never felt heavy before, suddenly began to weigh heavily on Hong Yeon-hwa.
The world is so vast that humans can only become insignificant before it.
It has always been that way.
So…even if it suffocates her with its absurdity, she has no choice but to comply.
Puh-deuk.
Hong Yeon-hwa clenched her fist so tightly that her bones creaked.
All the martial arts, values, past, pride, and finally, the meaning of Cheon-ma.
She let go of all of it.
The image of Jin So-chan, who is more precious to her than anything else, had suddenly appeared.
“Huh.”
Unmu-yong, who saw Hong Yeon-hwa withdraw her hand, burst out laughing.
“Ha! Ahaha! Huhaha! That’s right! You’re no different from me! In the end, that’s just how people are!”
A laugh that contained the meaning of self-satisfaction and relief.
But now, it had become a sharp mockery that shook Hong Yeon-hwa’s mind.
Is it because of the money that came too easily? Or is it because he clenched his lips too tightly?
Feeling the bitter taste of blood in her mouth, Hong Yeon-hwa twisted her body.
And just as she was about to take a step forward.
“…Ah.”
Despite knowing that it was a mistake, she burned with determination and saw Jin So-chan, who was aiming his sword at Sama-ryeonju.
There was no resignation or pessimism in her. Even though she knew they were facing an unbeatable enemy, her eyes were filled with a sincere desire to win.
It was a contradiction. A contradiction that Hong Yeon-hwa had momentarily forgotten.
“Huh…I didn’t expect the day would come when you would learn a thing or two from me.”
When did Cheon-ma live by looking at this and that? In the first place, such a person could not become Cheon-ma.
When Hong Yeon-hwa turned to face Unmu-yong again, his expression stiffened.
“…What? Are you trying to reconcile that hypocrisy?”
“……”
Hong Yeon-hwa didn’t bother to answer. There was no reason or time to do so.
She just reminded herself in her mind.
Cheon-ma is not just a person who carries the burden of others’ Ma.
“Cheon-ma.”
She spread her legs shoulder-width apart and extended her left arm forward.
“Absurd, but a being that breaks the heavy sky.”
Her fist, raised to an appropriate height, was loosely clenched. There was no need to waste energy now.
“A being that breaks the sky that weighs heavily on our shoulders.”
Didn’t she say that she had to give up one side? Hong Yeon-hwa…Cheon-ma does not tolerate this.
Kill Unmu-yong with one blow and go straight to Jin So-chan to help him. Isn’t that a problem that can be solved for both?
“Did you…hit me? It’s true that I’ve regressed as a martial artist, but it’s not that easy to kill me. It’s an impossible task.”
The gray Ho-sin-gang-ki that enveloped Unmu-yong’s body. Three millennium beasts, each surrounded by gray Ho-sin-gang-ki, stood in front of him.
But Hong Yeon-hwa didn’t waver even as she saw this. She didn’t even try to calculate anything.
She just gathered all her inner strength and determination.
“It’s not about whether it’s possible or impossible.”
What’s important is that Hong Yeon-hwa has made up her mind.
A strange distortion appeared in Hong Yeon-hwa’s hand and in the hand of the demon standing behind her, supporting her back.
A phenomenon that occurs when massive inner strength and determination are concentrated.
At this moment. Hong Yeon-hwa realized that she had taken a half step towards the realm she had not yet surpassed.
However, this was not that important either.
The only thing Hong Yeon-hwa had to focus on was the absolute blow that would destroy everything that had oppressed her.
Even within the black Ho-sin-gang-ki, Hong Yeon-hwa’s hair and pupils began to glow pink. And.
A single blow was unleashed.
————————————!!!!!
With a roar that sounded like a hundred thunderclaps, the space in front of them, tinged with black, distorted.
No, the space shattered and collapsed.
Pacheon (Breaking the Sky).
Hong Yeon-hwa truly shattered her own sky.
