Return of the Mount Hua Sect Novel Translation

Chapter 1951. Damn, It’s Good to See You. (1) KWAAANG! The Beggar Union disciples’ dog-beating staffs blocked the Demonic Cultists’ path. Internal force collided with internal force. Swinging their staffs with a boldness that seemed to leave no thought for what came after, the beggars roared as though urging one another on. [Dog-Beating Staff. Tagubong . 타구봉 ( 打狗棒 ). The traditional staff associated with the Beggar Union.

As the dense clouds of demonic qi thinned, the figures concealed within them came into view. Even by the most generous estimate, there were only several hundred. Even including those slowly joining from the rear, they would scarcely number more than a thousand. A thousand. Yes, barely a thousand.
