Chapter 170: Rainy Day Victory 4
Baek Moo-jin had largely sorted out his stance on the Heavenly Dragon Sect while facing them. He had clearly realized that no matter what kind of force the Heavenly Dragon Sect was, they would treat him as a demonic cultivator. On the other hand, it also meant that some among them, like the Sixteen Yaksas, could be persuaded by reason.
This was entirely different from confronting the Demon Path or the Black Path.
Just as one couldn’t kill everyone simply because their ideology differed…
When facing the righteous path, relying solely on force was not the best approach. Baek Mujin had confirmed this through the Cheonryongsa.
On the way back, Baek Moo-jin raced like a whirlwind. Running at such tremendous speed that the rain streaked out to the sides, Baek Moo-jin spotted wounded individuals fleeing and immediately drew his White Mist Sword, swinging it.
He addressed the White Path, but there was no need for words with the Demon Path.
Baek Moo-jin’s sword energy sliced through the lower halves of the fleeing figures. Then, leaping in, Baek Moo-jin began slaughtering the resisting ones with an expressionless face. The Sixteen Night Demons, who had followed him, were utterly stunned by Baek Moo-jin’s sudden transformation. Moreover, having already witnessed him sparring with the abbot of Cheonryongsa, they knew he possessed truly rare martial prowess.
With a few swift swings of his sword, Baek Moo-jin instantly killed the five or six who had tried to flee before the Sixteen Yaksha could intervene. Without a word, he deployed his lightness skill again, vanishing from the Yaksha’s sight.
