As the dust slowly settled, beams of sunlight filtered through, shimmering faintly in the air.The arrival had been nothing short of shocking.


    The remnants of Sungyeojimun faltered, instinctively retreating a step.


    “What… what is this…?”


    One of them muttered under their breath, as if unable to comprehend the scene before them.


    They were part of a powerful unorthodox faction that dominated parts of the sprawling city of Xi’an. Like seasoned vultures, they knew how to assess strength when faced with it. And the presence they now encountered was one they couldn’t hope to match.


    A man with sharp eyes stepped forward, his gray martial robes rustling faintly.


    “From which sect does this senior hail…?”


    Perhaps it was because he had seen the newcomer deliver such a brutal blow to Jeong Jung-san upon arrival. His voice wavered between hope and unease, as though he was grasping at straws in a bid to survive.


    This alley was beyond the reach of government or sect authority—a realm of pure survival where strength alone dictated the rules. They had handled Jeong Jung-san with impunity under those very principles.


    Yet, even after recognizing Jeong Yeon-shin’s face, the man dared to refer to him as “senior,” assuming he was some elder martial artist of high standing, one whose wisdom could rival his martial prowess.


    It was a grave misunderstanding.


    There exists a martial technique known as Chugunggwahyeol—a method used to clear blocked qi points caused by internal injuries or lingering toxins. Typically, a master of internal energy meticulously manipulates a patient’s meridians to restore balance while preventing potential deviation.


    Jeong Yeon-shin’s version, however, was anything but delicate.


    He was the grandmaster of Jeong Ga-donggong, a martial art that gave him profound insight into the human body’s meridians. His mastery transcended the ordinary, reaching the level of a true virtuoso.


    Gurgle—!


    Some distance away, his second brother, sprawled on the ground, coughed up clotted blood.
