Chapter 245
##245fury. I'm a teacher-!
A voice filled with so much brutality that it made my skin tingle rang out in the wide cavity..
“Elder Oh. Why did it fail?.”
The owner of the voice was wearing black lips. The skin exposed beneath the black lips was full of spiderweb-like scars..
The place where Heukripin is standing is under a high altar. Hundreds of torches illuminated the darkness along the left and right sides of the stairs leading up to the altar..
“……There was a saboteur.”
And beneath the altar, the Black Yamaje who had escaped from the Nangung family stood with his head bowed like a criminal being interrogated..
Heuklipin asked again.
“A saboteur? tell me in detail.”
“While I was fighting with the old Changcheon Sword King, the sound of the bell quieted down. And Manma Mong Honjin's energy dissipated, and later he even attacked me. He was probably the one who killed the blood spirit..”
The Black Mountain Emperor obediently answered the Black Lip In’s questions. A haggard voice. But his eyes looked somewhat dangerous.
Like a hunting dog about to break its leash and pounce on its owner..
However, because the Black Mountain Emperor had his head down, the Black Lip In could not see his eyes..
“Did you find out his identity??”
“was wearing a mask.”
“If you can run away, you probably aren't an average expert. Are you saying it wasn't one of the ten zones??”
“……Who ran away??”
The Black Yamaje raised its head and smiled, showing its white teeth. The creeping darkness began to dominate the space..
One of the nearby torches flickered and went out..
“I need to be more selective with my words. huh? It's an operational retreat..”
His tone was languid, but his gaze was extremely disturbing..
The eyes of the Black Yama Emperor were filled with so much magical energy that even a master at his peak could not look directly at him..
However, the black lip person only twitched his eyebrows as if he was displeased..
“Elder Oh. Because of your failure, the foundation of our school has been greatly disrupted from the beginning. And yet, you are shamelessly confident..”
“…….”
Heukripin was not at all intimidated by the momentum of the Black Yamaje..
He was in a position to do so..
A noble being who can give orders even to blood religious elders..
Heuklipin was an apostle of blood religion..
“Elder Oh is to remain in custody in the underground prison until further orders..”
At his command, the blood cult masters who had been hiding in the dark appeared one by one..
The momentum was all above that of a peak expert..
However, the Black Yama Emperor did not pay any attention to the approaching blood cult masters..
“hey. One disciple).”
His eyes were focused solely on the apostle on the altar. He licked his lips and slowly opened his mouth..
“I ask you one thing. Didn't you say that the Reverse Heaven Shin Gong at our school is incomplete??”
“……What was the intention of this question??”
“That's why all the cult leader candidates died or went crazy. Everyone is weak. That's right?”
“Are you trying to test the patience of the apostle you just saw??”
“The guy who attacked me. It was a red eye..”
“……!!”
At that moment, Ilsado’s eyes grew wide as if they were torn apart..
The red eye is the only characteristic of the reverse heavenly magic in the world..
And Yeokcheonshingong has been the blood demon's martial art for generations..
However, the person who interfered with the Black Yama Emperor used red-eye martial arts.?
Ilsado’s black long-armored gun flapped like crazy..
“Is that really true??”
“I'm sure. It was an amazing feat. That was also correct.”
The Black Yamaje grinned, showing its white teeth..
He was a monster born with incredible talent..
Even among the current elders, there is no one who can challenge him except for the great elder..
If the Black Yamaje was sure, it would probably be clear..
“From now on, tell me in detail what you saw with your own eyes.!”
thud……!
When Ilsado stamped his foot, the entire altar shook. The voice was very angry. It looked like he was going to grab the Black Yamaje by the collar at any moment..
However, he stopped walking at the words of the Black Yamaje that followed..
“If you want to know more, bring me the Reverse Heavenly Art..”
“……What?”
“I'll have to try learning it myself. I felt it while fighting this guy this time..”
While fighting the White Water Dragon, the Black Yamaje felt an unpleasant feeling he had never felt in his life..
Immediately intimidating.
Because I felt that, I had no choice but to regard the opponent's martial arts as a 'real reverse heavenly attack'..
If he had learned another martial art, he would have been able to crush him to death without difficulty..
Ilsado spoke in a low voice..
“Elder Oh.”
“I’m a Blood Demon candidate too! huh? I can't wait any longer!”
Currently, blood demon candidates selected by apostles are competing in the blood religion..
Heukyamaje was also one of the candidates..
The most powerful candidate appointed by Ilsado.
However, the Black Mountain Emperor has not learned the Reverse Heavenly Art until now..
It was a decision made by Ilsado.
“You said you would teach me the Reverse Heavenly Art when it is perfected..”
“…….”
“There haven't been any complaints so far. 'Cause I'm strong even without that shit.”
Once the Reverse Heavenly Art was completed through numerous experiments, Ilsado promised to have the Black Yama Emperor learn it at that time..
It didn't matter to the Black Yamaje though..
Until now, I have not felt any shortcomings while learning martial arts, and I have reached a level of strength that is enough to kill the Changcheon Sword King with just the Black Yama Sutra left behind by my master..
But now that I've seen 'Real Reverse Heaven', my thoughts have changed..
“It doesn't matter if it's imperfect, bring it. I'll fill in what's lacking.”
“……It's an unreasonable request. You should not learn the Reverse Heavenly Technique yet..”
“That's up to me. Bring it. Reverse heavenly skill.”
The Kuroyama Emperor's words become increasingly shorter. Ilsado, who sensed something unusual, gave a glance to his subordinates..
Tsutsutsu…….
The masters of the blood religion surrounding the Black Yama Emperor began to increase their strength..
The Black Yamaje looked around and smiled..
“Be honest. why? Are you afraid that if I learn it, a monster will be born that you cannot control??”
“Elder Oh…….”
“But what should I do? I'm already a monster.”
At the Black Yamaje's sarcasm, death appeared in Ilsado's eyes..
“Be careful. Don't climb.”
Gooooooo-!
A terrible energy wave spread from the body of the apostle..
Surprisingly, that energy was not pushed away by the Black Yamaje at all..
The Black Yamaje, who felt a power beyond imagination, also widened his eyes as if he was a little surprised..
“……indeed. It's a ghost who survived the last war. They say you broke Geomjon’s sword.?”
“This is the final warning. Go into prison and be sober. I'll call you again soon so keep your head cool..”
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…….
The Black Mountain Emperor shook his shoulders and laughed. Like ink spreading, darkness spread within the cavity..
The Black Yamaje tilted his head crookedly and said.
“It sucked from the beginning. It's one thing to act as an elder given to you by your master, and it's one thing to be swayed around by apostles you've never heard of. And I've had doubts for a long time.…….”
The whites of the Black Yamaje's eyes were completely stained black. The dark river energy completely enveloped the body. The darkness that enveloped him burned brightly like a flame..
“Is it really necessary to learn Yeokcheonshingong? It's not enough if the strongest one becomes a blood demon.?”
“Stop. It's the last warning.”
The Black Mountain Emperor did not stop. When he stretched out his hand, the blood cult masters who had surrounded him turned into pieces of meat. Slosh. Stepping in a puddle of blood, the Black Yamaje walked towards Ilsado..
“Bring the Reverse Heavenly Art. Or they all die by my hand.”
“What made you so impatient?.”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…….”
It was clear that the encounter with the White Water Dragon had touched something within the Black Yamaje. His eyes shined as black as obsidian..
“Blood Demon.”
The Black Yamaje spat like that and jumped up, breaking the floor. Then, he immediately attacked Ilsado on the altar..
“…….”
Ilsado did not dodge and drew his sword. His eyes, hidden beneath black lips, glowed transparently and stared at the Black Yamaje. he said in a heavy voice.
“From this time on, I will regard the Five Elders, Black Yamaje, as traitors to our church..”
“Hahahahaha!”
At that moment, devastating darkness exploded from the Black Yamaje's body..
All the torches that illuminated the altar went out..
In the pitch-black darkness, the languid voice of the Kuroyama Emperor rang out clearly..
“From today, I will become a blood demon..”
On that day, a lot of blood was shed in the clan due to the rebellion of the Black Yama Emperor..
* * *
After leaving Namgung House, the Cheongryong Academy instructor and his party rode their horses slowly. It was a schedule that took into consideration Namgoong-su, who has not yet fully recovered from his injuries, and Namgoong-mi, who is not used to horseback riding..
Most of the time, we stayed at guesthouses to get food and lodging, but there were times when we had no choice but to stay overnight in the mountains..
At such times, we would sit around in front of a bonfire and share food, and after the meal, it was usually time to practice martial arts..
“Haaap!”
“Chahaaa!”
Akh Yeon-ho and Kwak Du-yong, who finished eating first, got up and sparred. It was a light sparring, but their eyes were as sharp as in real combat..
Chae chae chaeng!
On the way back to Cheongryong Academic Center, the instructors sparred whenever they had time..
After going through a life-or-death battle with the blood religion, the instructors felt a desperate need to become stronger..
So they sparred among themselves even though no one told them to, and asked Baek Soo-ryong for guidance..
“Want to see martial arts? good.”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded, willing to look at the martial arts skills of his classmates..
His innocent classmates didn't know until then.
On the way back, I never thought I would be harassed like this by the White Water Dragon.…….
“Hey Ak Yeon-ho. Are you drunk? What is that staggering step just now??”
“My foot got twisted for a moment…….”
“My feet are twisted? Even in real life, if you make an excuse like that, the enemy will wait for you, saying, “Is that because you’re a child?”?”
“……sorry.”
“Duyong Kwak. Don't you know how to stab rather than cut? Is there a law that says thieves can't stab? uh? Did such a law come into existence without my knowledge??”
“No, should I say it's a habit?…….”
“habit? Good. It's a very good habit to develop. When you meet King Yeomna later, be sure to say, ‘Your Majesty, I fell because of my bad lifestyle habits and not knowing how to stab.’ huh?”
“Let me fix it…….”
Today again, Baek Soo-ryong was watching the two's sparring next to him and was having fun..
It was so obnoxious that I wanted to beat him up every time he said a word, but I didn't have the skills to do that, and the expressions were rough, but in reality, the advice was like gold and silver..
After the two people finished sparring, Baek Soo-ryong waved his hand and called the remaining two..
“next. Jegal So-young and Myeong Il-oh. Come out and stick around.”
“…….”
“…….”
The two people who came forward were already dead. Sure enough, Baek Soo-ryong pointed out each and every one of their postures and habits while they were sparring..
The instructors, whose souls were completely destroyed, sat down and muttered with bewildered faces..
“Haha, hahaha…….”
“I was trash with no martial arts talent and no effort.…….”
“I thought the Baekryongjang kids were troublemakers, right? they were angels…….”
Still, the instructors believed that Baek Soo-ryong was acting as a villain for their own benefit. They're trying to hurt my pride by saying harsh words on purpose and trying to make me grit my teeth even more and learn martial arts..
……I guess that's really it?
That person isn't just craving us for fun.?
“What are you looking at? I want you to watch martial arts?”
“…….”
The way back was mostly peaceful. We didn't encounter the common bandits once, and there was no fight. It would arrive at the Blue Dragon Academy in about three days..
Namgungsu, whose body had not fully recovered yet, sat cross-legged and often meditated. Even though there was a small enlightenment in martial arts, the companions did not interfere. Next to him, Namgoongmi sat quietly and dozed off..
“…….”
Baek Su-ryong looked at the siblings of the Namgung family for a moment and then looked up at the sky..
Although he looked calm on the outside, he was complicated on the inside..
‘The blood religion began to move in earnest..’
The blood religion would have tried to announce their resurrection in a grand manner by exterminating the Namgung family..
But the plan failed, and even Baek Soo-ryong could not easily predict how the blood religion would develop in the future..
He could cut off his tail and hide for a while, or on the other hand, he could come to the front and unite the Sapa forces that had been holding their breath for so long..
‘How long will the current peace in Moorim last? No, I guess the peace has already been broken..’
Even when everyone is deeply asleep.
Baek Soo-ryong couldn't sleep because of various thoughts..
At that time, his senses caught him approaching quickly in this direction..
‘what?’
There was not just one sign approaching at considerable speed, but many..
At least three, or close to ten if you include the small signs felt behind the leader..
Although the numbers were not large, the level was significant. Each and every one of them were experts who could not be ignored..
‘Especially those who run from the front…….’
He was a master at a level that even Baek Soo-ryong of today could not easily think of..
The opponent seemed to have no intention of killing his powerful presence..
Baek Soo-ryong hardened his expression and woke up the group..
“Everyone wake up.”
“Why suddenly... … older brother?”
When his colleagues woke up and saw Baek Soo-ryong's serious expression, they sensed that something unusual had happened..
“Is it an enemy??”
In response to Namgungsu’s question, Baek Soo-ryong said he didn’t know yet..
“It could be just unmanned people passing by, but... … Prayer is too strong for that. In the worst case scenario, the blood cult might have come after us..”
The instructors’ expressions hardened..
I felt like I was complacent in hindsight..
Why did you think that the blood religion would not target those who came from the Namgung family?.
“get ready to fight.”
At Baek Soo-ryong’s words, the instructors took out their weapons. Everyone looked at the direction in which the figure was approaching with nervous expressions..
Ugh!
There was a subtle red color in the White Water Dragon’s eyes. The blood demon eye was used weakly..
“…….”
In the tension, less than half an hour passed as slowly as a day..
And after a while, Baek Su-ryong recognized the face of the old man running from afar and muttered in a voice mixed with relief and puzzlement..
“Lord?”
“what?”
“Who is it??”
The identity of the old man running like a gale was the statue of a thousand-armed avalokitesvara, the head of the Cheongryonghakgwan..
Likewise, Noh Gunsang, who discovered the instructors, shouted in surprise..
“You guys!”
Behind him, student leader Mae Geuk-ryeom and deputy director Kwak Cheol-woo were also running..
It was no exaggeration to say that he was the best among the instructors at Cheongryong Academy..
Noh slowed down and approached with a sigh of relief..
“Everyone was safe. thank god. I'm so glad…….”
“Lord, what are you doing here???
“We left as soon as we heard the urgent news from the Murim Alliance that the Namgung family was attacked. What happened??”
At that time, Mae Geuk-ryeom and Kwak Cheol-woo, who arrived a little late, approached their grandson and nephew, respectively..
“Are you injured anywhere??”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled awkwardly and nodded in response to Mae Geuk-ryeom's question as he approached and examined various parts of his body..
“yes. I'm fine.”
“……okay. Then it was done..”
It seemed like there was a lot he wanted to say, but Mae Geukryeom closed his eyes and sighed instead. There would be plenty of time to talk on the way back..
Meanwhile, Namgungsu spoke with a calm expression..
“I sent the news to Jeonseo-gu the next day, but it seems to be mixed..”
“Heh heh. We were so anxious. Everyone is safe, so that's it..”
“Wow, it's been 10 years.…….”
The relaxed instructors looked at each other and smiled..
Anyway, I was glad..
Because no one died.
The three people seemed to think that was just luck..
The new instructors held back their laughter as it threatened to escape..
‘If you find out what happened at Namgung House, there will be an uproar..’
At that time, Mr. Roh smiled and said as if he remembered something..
“We're not the only ones here.”
“yes? Who else came??”
“Even though I told him it was impossible, he came along just as quickly. It will come soon.”
“who…….”
After a while, an evil voice was heard along with signs that were very familiar to Baek Su-ryong..
“I'm a teacher-!”
His disciples, who were supposed to be at Baekryong Hall, were running in looking frazzled, as if they hadn't washed in days..
“Indeed.”
Baek Soo-ryong laughed as if he was dumbfounded..
