Chapter 65
As Kwak Yeon reenacted the movement himself, he realized it wasn’t just designed to deflect an opponent’s energy strike. The form drove that force forward with fierce and ruthless intent.
At first, he had assumed it was merely a technique for controlling force—refined, not lethal. But that assumption was wrong. It wasn’t a neutral form; it accelerated the opponent’s own energy and turned it back on them. Inevitably, it would cause real harm.
Worse yet, it did so deviously—layering power atop the enemy’s attack with subtle precision.
A legitimate technique from Wudang that turns your enemy into pulp?
For the first time, Kwak Yeon felt a disconnect from the Wudang martial arts he knew.
Then, something clicked. A memory surfaced—one of Wudang’s most revered advanced techniques: the Principle of Four Ounces Moving a Thousand Pounds.
But that technique, though powerful, held no malice. It was elegant redirection, not slaughter.
The closest thing he’d ever heard to what he was now witnessing... was a forbidden demonic art—Heaven and Earth Transposition, a sinister martial technique known to the Demon Cult. A method that seized the forces of heaven and earth and rearranged them at will.
But even that ruthless technique... I’ve never heard it described as this brutal.
Still unsettled, Kwak Yeon carried the movement through to the end, replicating it fully.
And when he did, he was even more shaken.
Every form he traced was laced with a single overwhelming intent: to reduce the enemy to pulp. There was no ambiguity about it—this art was crafted to kill.
