Chapter 236
##236fury. I felt strength rising from my whole body..
Iron Blood Sword Namgungcheon.
If the previous head of the family, King Changcheon Geom, placed the Namgung family on the rock of being the best family in the world, then Namgung Cheon was a man like a giant tree who protected the Namgung family through all the checks and secret struggles of the political faction, the martial arts faction..
And now, the area under the man's eyes was trembling..
‘It is said that it is ten years of flowerless power and ten years of power.…….’
Flowers do not turn red for more than ten days, and power does not last ten years..
It meant that once something prospers, it inevitably declines, and no matter how high the power, it does not last long..
Since becoming the head of the family, I have lived with two maxims engraved in my heart every day..
Even in the Namgung family, known as the best family in the world, a crisis could come at some point, so they always tried to prepare in advance..
but.
The hell that unfolded before my eyes seemed to be laughing at Namgungcheon's efforts..
“……A lot of people died and got injured..”
The Namgung family’s warriors bowed their heads at the vain voice of the head of the family..
After a long nightmarish night, dawn was slowly dawning..
Under the faint dawn, the tragedy that happened to the Namgung family last night was clearly revealed..
Namgung Sega spoke in a stern voice..
“Each party must report the damage..”
“I will upload it after seeing Cheonpungdang. Twenty-three died, forty-eight were injured, and among the injured, the seriously injured were on the brink of death.…….”
“I will upload it after seeing Changgungdang. Twenty-eight dead, thirty-nine injured.…….”
“The damage to the Presbyterian Church is…….”
In one night, the Namgung family lost more than half of its power..
Even in past wars with blood religions, there was no such great damage..
‘From today onwards, my family will no longer be able to use the name ‘The Best in the World’..’
Nangong Cheon felt great anger and sorrow..
But he continued to receive reports with an unwavering expression..
However, I just clenched my teeth..
The governor, who was watching the family from the side, asked worriedly..
“……The head of the family. Are you okay? You don't look good.”
“It's okay.”
“It's a good idea to have a moment of luck…….”
“It's not too late to do it after the report is over..”
The Commander-in-Chief let out a small sigh at the head of the household’s stubborn tone..
“All right.”
Although he understood the general's concern for him, Nam Gong-cheon had no choice but to be stubborn..
‘It's not time to rest yet.’
Namgung-cheon also suffered more serious internal injuries than expected in a life-or-death battle with the Surama Sword..
The Qi and blood of the whole body were distorted and the Danjeon was greatly damaged..
Even if I worked hard for the next few years, I wasn't sure if I would fully recover..
Nevertheless, Namgung-cheon postponed seeing a doctor..
This was because checking and resolving the damage came first..
and…….
Suddenly, Namgungcheon raised his head and looked up at the sky..
“I think I can rest in peace only when that fight is over..”
“…….”
Rumbling!
Above the sky, the terrifying battle between the Sword King of Changcheon and the Emperor of Black Yama continued..
If there was anything that changed over time, it was that they were moving further and further away from the Namgung family..
Those who were looking at the sky together said.
“Looking at the direction, it seems to be heading towards Mt. Cheonju..”
“It is clear that the Black Yamaje is running away.!”
“house owner. Shouldn't we send reinforcements to the Taesang family??”
Nangong Cheon quietly shook his head..
“This is not an area where we can interfere. Your father wouldn't want it either. You will be enough to destroy the Black Yama Emperor alone..”
The Namgung family had absolute faith in the Changcheon Sword King..
If Martial Arts had not been in such a peaceful time as it is now, the person who could easily aim for the position of the world's best master was Namgung Jehak, the Changcheon Sword King..
The commanders of the armed forces encouraged their anxious subordinates..
“Soon, the Lord of the Taesang Family will return with the supply and demand of the Black Yamaje.!”
“As long as the Sword King is around, the Namgung family is the best in the world.!”
Absolute trust and confidence.
But apart from that.
Namgungcheon's expression was blurry as he looked at the back of the Changcheon Sword King who was getting farther and farther away..
“……They said it was our karma.”
“yes?”
“It's nothing.”
Namgungcheon shook his head in response to the general’s question..
The words the Black Mountain Emperor smiled fiercely and said to the Sword King of Changcheon kept coming back to my mind..
-The karma you committed twenty years ago. Disgusting things done while wearing the mask of a hypocrite.
-I am a disaster born in it.
“…….”
Namgung Sega looked at the sky in silence..
Even though he only had one eye left, he was a warrior who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts. I was able to observe the fighting in more detail than anyone else here..
Sighaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Using the vast expanse as a drawing board, the essence of King Namgung's martial arts was unfolding on it..
Every time the Changcheon Sword King's sword moves, the dark clouds part and the darkness is torn apart..
However, the darkness created by the Black Yamaje quickly gathered together again. And he surrounded the Changcheon Sword King and harassed him persistently..
“conflict-!!”
No matter how fiercely the Changcheon Sword King exploded and swung his sword with the Lion's Roar, he could not shake off the darkness..
It seemed to show that no matter how strong the light is, it cannot eliminate the shadows..
‘Father. What on earth happened in the past??’
King Changcheon Sword destroyed all records related to the massacre he committed twenty years ago and silenced those involved..
But there is no such thing as a perfect secret.
Nam Gung-cheon knew that there were records that his father had destroyed..
I also guessed that it was related to blood religion and that it was the secret affair of the Namgung family that should never be known to the martial arts world..
There were many mixed emotions in Nangong Cheon’s one and only eyes..
‘If the sin you committed came back as karma... … . As the head of the family, I will hold you accountable for your sins..’
After clenching his fists, Nangong Chen no longer watched the fight between the two peerless masters and turned around..
There were still a lot of reports to be received..
Fortunately, in a situation full of despair, there was the only consolation..
“This time, the Three Princes really did a great job.!”
“If it weren't for the third master, the damage would have increased several times..”
“The new instructors at the College of Education also provided great help to the home school. You should be compensated.”
Everyone who came to report to the head of the family praised Namgungsu until their mouths went dry..
“Hmm. exactly?”
Nam Gung-cheon, who answered casually, turned his head and looked at his third son..
Just then our eyes met. Namgungcheon motioned for Namgungsu to come here..
“You don't look good.”
“The head of the family is not good either..”
Unlike his two older brothers, he was a guy who couldn't speak loudly from a young age..
The father and son realized that each other's injuries were unusual..
They were two people who were exactly alike in that they didn't show it outwardly that they were having a hard time..
Nangong Cheon nodded and said..
“okay. It's not very good. I may have to retreat to the back room in a few years..”
“…….”
“Boy. In times like these, it’s okay to speak politely..”
“……sorry.”
“became.”
Namgungcheon smiled and asked what he had been curious about earlier..
His gaze was directed at the magic soul spirit that Namgungsu was holding..
“Where did that flute come from?.”
“I don't know exactly either. I received it from teacher Baek Soo-ryong. As you can see, it has the effect of calming down those who have lost their senses..”
Namgoongsu answered honestly..
Namgungcheon, who was silent for a moment, asked in a cautious tone..
“There is a possibility that Baek Soo-ryong was involved in this incident.?”
“doesn't exist.”
Namgungsu answered firmly. Rather, he raised his eyebrows as if he was angry at his father's question..
“Master Baek Soo-ryong is the benefactor of the original family. If it hadn't been for this object he gave me, my family would still be fighting in the midst of trial and bloodshed..”
Namgungcheon was a little surprised by Namgungsu’s passionate reaction..
It was the first time that his third son raised his eyes and glared at him like that..
For some reason, I felt a little intimidated..
“……I asked this just in case, so don't feel too bad. I will treat Master Baek Soo-ryong as a benefactor of my family..”
“yes.”
Namgungsu lowered his head, probably thinking his tone of voice was rude. And then he raised his head again and said.
“However, the fundamental problem has not yet been solved.”
“……okay.”
The eyes of the two people turned to the demons lined up on one side..
Crrrrrrr……
Crrrrr……
He incapacitated the warriors of the Namgung family who had turned into demons by blowing the magic spirit spirit, but was unable to bring them back to their senses..
“Couldn’t you do it with that flute??”
“We tried several times, but it was impossible to bring him back to his senses. I think the fundamental problem needs to be resolved..”
“If it's a fundamental problem?”
“My guess is…….”
Namgungsu recalled what he heard before parting ways with Baeksuryong..
-I have a place I need to go right now.
The direction Baek Soo-ryong ran to, saying there was a place he had to go to right away..
Namgungsu raised his finger and pointed in one direction..
“over there.”
One of the peaks near the top of Mt. Tianzhu Mountain.
Dawn was coming, but the surrounding area was still covered in pitch black darkness..
“I guess that peak is suspicious. My guess is that there may be a method or object there that causes the Sega warriors to fall into a demonic state..”
“indeed…….”
Namgungcheon also looked at the peak and nodded. I could feel an unusual energy in his eyes too..
“I will go there myself..”
“I will go with you too..”
“……Are you okay??”
“yes.”
Nangong Cheon nodded without asking any more..
There might be some other enemies out there..
Namgungsu’s power to deal with the demon spirits was essential..
“i get it. We will leave after work, so get ready..”
Nam Gung-cheon called the heads of each party and gave instructions..
The purpose was to select the less injured among the remaining warriors and go to Mt. Cheonju..
While Gaju was busy moving around, Namgoongsu also told the instructors who followed him to prepare..
“hmm? Brother Suryong went there first..”
“Is it really necessary to go?…….”
“I think everything will be organized when we arrive..”
This was the reaction of the instructors at Cheongryong Academy. While other instructors at the academy were preparing, they looked at Namgungsu blankly..
“……Still going.”
Actually, Namgungsu had similar thoughts, but he couldn't stay still because it was a family matter..
After a while, the elite of the Nangong family departed for the summit of Tianzhu Mountain..
* * *
“Beyond this.”
Baek Soo-ryong put down the 10,000 beats he was carrying on his shoulders like a burden on the floor for a moment..
Sssssssut…….
A few steps ahead, darkness stretched out like an abyss..
It was a darkness created by artificial forces..
A magical energy powerful enough to make the fur stand on end was spreading out from beyond the invisible darkness..
“Let's beat it. what's in there?”
“Hehehehe……”
Manpakja shook his shoulders and cried out loud like a person who has lost his mind..
The demonic blood had been suppressed and he was unable to move properly. I barely muttered in a very low voice, as if muttering..
“Are you curious about what's in there??”
The voice of the ten thousand beats rang strangely. White Water Dragon squatted down in front of him and asked..
“You're going to say it anyway, so why not say it before you both get tired??”
“look straight into my eyes.”
“Why are you mumbling like this from earlier??”
“Hehehehe…….”
The moment the two people's eyes met, Manbakja's eyes turned red..
Kiiiiing……!
Manpakja was not only a martial arts master but also a master of martial arts..
When I first fought the White Water Dragon, I didn't have time to use my techniques..
It was different now..
The moment Baek Soo-ryong let his guard down and approached, saying he had completely won, the most powerful of his techniques, Seophonjuk, was unleashed..
“ah…….”
Seeing that Baeksu-ryong's eyes were blurred, Manbakja cried out in horror..
“Hehehe! You've been caught! I got caught!”
Ever since I was miserably defeated by the White Water Dragon, I have been aiming for this moment..
When they were alone together, and when Baek Soo-ryong brought him near the Ten Thousand Demon Dream Soul Shrine..
He revealed a hidden technique..
“I'll eat you alive! Hehehehe!”
The red-stained eyes of a thousand beats.
It was a new soul art created by studying the blood demon eye of the Heavenly Demon God..
Although its ability is said to be incomparably weaker than that of the Blood Demon Eye, the story changes with the help of the Manma Mong Honjin in the back..
“Hehehe! Shall I tell you? This jin is called Manmamonghonjin! It is an exquisite skill that strengthens the power of our school’s magic arts and techniques many times over.!”
The excited man beater was talking loudly..
No matter how much Baek Soo-ryong was a transcendental expert, he was confident that he could not escape his magic of seduction here..
An ugly smile appeared on Manbakja's wrinkled face. He looked very excited to play with his new toy..
“Hehehe. First, take my horoscope out of the way. I'll get up and break your bones, step by step..”
“…….”
Baeksu-ryong, whose eyes were open, slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on Manbakja's shoulder..
But that was it..
“Somehow, from earlier..”
“You, you! how!”
Manpakja looked at Baeksuryong with an astonished expression..
He must have fallen under his own spell of seduction, but he must have lost his sense of reason and become his own puppet.…….
Why are your eyes full of guns?!
“I felt strength rising from my whole body..”
Smiling, Baeksu-ryong raised his Reverse Heavenly Art and activated his Blood Demon Eye..
The White Water Dragon's eyes burned like the flames of hell..
The moment he met those eyes, Manpakuja screamed in shock that felt like it was tearing his soul apart..
“Wow!!”
