Chapter 38
##38fury. If you have nowhere to go, come with me.?
I approached the fallen Wi Ji-cheon..
‘I passed out.’
The sword I unleashed pierced not Wi Ji-cheon's heart but the back of his hand..
It was to make him lose his grip on the sword, but even though his hands were bleeding profusely, he didn't let go of the sword..
Even while I was unconscious and passed out..
“Tsk. It's admirable that you didn't let go of your sword until the end, but what's the point if you pass out?.”
Clicking my tongue, I took the sword out of Wi Ji-cheon's hand and stopped the bleeding..
Wi Ji-cheon poured all his energy into his final attack..
A technique that is no different from Dongguijin (同歸於盡).
Fortunately, I know all about his herbivorous nature, so we almost crossed the three paths on good terms..
“stupid guy.”
I hit Wi Ji-cheon on the head with the sheath of the sword and then put it on my shoulder. Fortunately, Wi Ji-cheon's life was not in immediate danger..
I took him to the chook next to the burial mound and laid him down on the bed..
When the tattered clothes were removed, a body was revealed that was incredibly bony for someone who had practiced martial arts..
There were bruises all over the body along the main blood vessels..
‘The coin hoarding has progressed considerably..’
At that time, a book fell out of the clothes I had removed..
“This is…….”
There was nothing written on the outside of the book..
But the moment I opened the first page, I recognized that it was a fake martial arts sword that I had created to ruin the blood religion..
At the same time, I remembered what Heuklipin said when he handed this secret gift to this boy..
- Do you want revenge on the world? If so, learn this martial art. If you can learn for ten years, you will be the best in the world..
When I thought about it again, something was strange..
‘Ten years? At this level, he will die from a poison spell in less than five years. You wouldn't know that…….’
Could it be that he gave it to me even though he knew it??
If you passed it on knowingly, that black lip person would be a vicious person..
I somehow felt like I knew his intentions..
‘To complete incomplete martial arts... … They used me as a test subject..’
Very occasionally, there were geniuses who perfected imperfect martial arts on their own..
Heuklipin probably saw the low potential and handed Wi Jicheon this incomplete martial arts skill..
And he would often come and observe from afar and then return..
‘Maybe something similar is happening elsewhere..’
When I thought that the seeds I had sown were growing in this way, I became a little disturbed..
I muttered lowly, looking down at the innocent-looking boy's face..
“……You learned this much on your own without a teacher..”
Mugeukgeom is a profound and difficult martial art..
Moreover, this secret was a very elaborate fake..
Unless you are a genius equivalent to Geomjon, it is almost impossible to realize where you went wrong while learning it..
However, even though he studied for three years, he achieved this much without dying, so that alone could be considered an incredible talent..
Looking at Wijicheon, I was reminded of Heonwon River, which I met at the Cheongryonghakgwan festival some time ago..
‘In terms of talent, I'm no better than that guy. No, it might be more than that..’
A talent that will shine brightly if someone polishes it by your side..
I stretched out both hands and placed my left hand on Wei Ji-cheon's stomach and my right hand on his forehead..
And carefully infused the energy of the Reverse Heavenly Art..
“Ugh…….”
Wei Ji-cheon twisted his body and groaned, as if in pain. I gently pressed down on the shaking body and continued to explore inside Chiro Witchen's body..
‘The turbidity has seeped into my entire body and even some of my brain..’
Since it was a level that made the person who learned it suffer from a poison spell in the first place, I was able to easily figure out what state Wijicheon was in..
‘If it's like this... … still available.’
ta da da dat!
After quickly pointing out a few points of Wei Ji-cheon's acupuncture points, I began to raise my Reverse Heavenly Technique in earnest..
A ray of inner energy that I sent out traveled all around Wei Ji-cheon's body, and began to draw the accumulated energy inside into my heart..
“Ugh……!”
Wi Ji-cheon was in a cold sweat and was in pain. I was shaking as if my whole body was getting chills. Blood started flowing from my nose..
‘Hang in there. If you can't hold on, you'll die anyway..’
Inside Wi Ji-cheon's body, the turbidity that had accumulated over three years of wrong fortune-telling techniques was piled up..
The accumulated turbidity eventually seeped into the bone marrow, which was the cause of Wi Ji-cheon's madness..
I was planning to use the Reverse Heavenly God Technique to absorb all of that muddy energy into my body..
‘The transsyllable vein is also useful in times like this..’
In the Yeokcheonsingong that I have learned, until a certain level of achievement is achieved, you have to gather the energy in your body into your Danjeon and make it like Naedan..
This is where the power of the elixir was needed..
And now, in my body, there was still a certain amount of the medicinal power of the Seven Earth Leaf Herbs that had not yet been fully absorbed..
“Pfft, pfft, pfft.……!”
Blood flowed from Wi Ji-cheon's nose, ears, and eyes..
The veins on his skinny body bulged as if they were about to burst, and white foam bubbled from his mouth..
But I couldn't do it gently.
I further cleaned every inch of Wei Ji-cheon's body with my reverse heavenly magic, absorbing the dirty energy, and finally, I even sucked out all the dirty energy that had seeped into his brain..
“Phew…….”
I immediately sat cross-legged..
It wasn't that difficult to absorb the turbid air that flowed into the body..
‘What kind of body is this?.’
I'm not bragging, but I've been a transsyllable with a lot of energy accumulated inside my body for nearly 30 years..
Compared to that, Aesongi’s savings, which he had saved up for only about three years, were nothing..
‘Umm?’
Rather, when different types of turbid energy were absorbed into the danjeon, the two energies mixed and created a synergistic effect..
I was taken aback by the feeling that the inner dan inside my danjeon was expanding..
2The achievement of the Heavenly Demonic Art, which had been staying at the castle, has now surpassed the 3 stars..
After a while, I slowly opened my eyes and muttered.
“……In life, things like this happen..”
I was dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events..
I relaxed my lotus position and stood up, looking down at Wi Ji-cheon who was completely exhausted..
“…….”
Although he was covered in blood and looked like a corpse, his breathing had stabilized and his complexion looked much more relaxed..
“I think I've almost passed the critical point..”
I wiped the blood from my face and body with the clothes I had just removed..
At that time, Wi Ji-yeol's urgent voice was heard outside Chook..
“Cheonya! Cheonah! Where on earth have you both gone?!”
I went out of Chook and greeted Wi Ji-yeol..
Wi Ji-yeol soon discovered me and ran towards me like he was flying..
“What happened? Where is my grandson going and you are the only one here?!”
I was wondering what to say, but decided to tell you the result of the request first..
“Elderly. Sorry, but your request failed..”
“ah…….”
Wi Ji-yeol finally saw my face and sighed..
Right now, my clothes were torn and cut here and there, and I had quite a few stab wounds..
“……Did you run away? okay. Just surviving is amazing... … . But where did my grandson go??”
Even though he personally asked me to kill his grandson, he seemed anxious because I couldn't see him..
Wi Ji-yeol looked around with an anxious expression and muttered..
“Surely he didn't go outside the camp? If I did that, something I couldn't handle would happen.…….”
“I'm sleeping in there now.”
“……what?”
Wi Ji-yeol looked at me with a blank face..
I kindly pointed with my hand to Cho-ok behind me..
“……What kind of nonsense is this? Since the madness worsened, the child has never left his parents' graveside..”
“If you don't believe me, take a look..”
Wi Ji-yeol still had an expression of disbelief, but entered Chook as if possessed by something..
After a while, he could see his grandson's face sleeping soundly..
“Cheonah, Cheonah?”
Although his skin and bones were raw due to the traces of the fierce battle and the blood shed while treating the poisonous wounds, the face of the boy was sleeping peacefully, free of his demonic powers..
Wi Ji-yeol's expression gradually became one of astonishment..
“No way, no way…….”
“That's true.”
“how…….”
“There was no need to kill him. You will come to your senses soon, as all the toxins that have permeated your body and brain have been removed..”
“Is that really true??”
I smiled softly at the old man who looked at me in disbelief..
“You'll lose a lot of your stamina, but you'll quickly come to your senses..”
“That doesn't matter! How on earth should I repay this favor?…….”
At that time, Wi Ji-cheon slowly opened his eyes, looked up at his grandfather with a sleepy face, and muttered..
“Grandfather……?”
His voice was polite, unlike before, and his eyes were filled with passion rather than red blood..
The boy looked at me and was startled and tried to get up..
Wi Ji-yeol supported his grandson..
“Oh my, Cheonah! Are you out of your mind??”
“Why am I here? This person…….”
“Don't you remember anything??
“Ah, while I was learning a certain sword technique, I suddenly remembered it.…….”
Wi Ji-cheon leaned against his grandfather as if dizzy..
The boy shivered as if he was cold..
“Grandfather. I think I had a nightmare…….”
The old man hugged his grandson, who had become gaunt over the years, and burst into tears..
“Ughhhhh!”
Tears like chicken droppings flowed from the eyes of the old man who looked as hard as a rock..
“…….”
I watched the two for a while and then quietly left Chook..
* * *
dump.
Wi Ji-yeol, who knelt in front of me, spoke in a solemn voice..
“I will give you anything you want. Even if you ask for my life!”
“Ha, grandpa!”
Next to him, Wi Ji-cheon was watching me, not knowing what to do..
I felt like I was going to hurt myself if I even joked, so I spoke as softly as I could..
“There is no need for your life. You just need to make one sword..”
“I will do my best and use all my talents. I'm sure you will find a famous sword that will satisfy you.…….”
“It's barely enough to be a famous sword..”
I interrupted Wi Ji-yeol mid-sentence and told him exactly what level of sword I wanted..
“It should be at least a blood demon sword..”
“Well, that's…….”
Wi Ji-yeol was speechless and could not continue speaking for a while..
If I wasn't my grandson's benefactor, I would have thrown something right now..
But he was a gracious old man, so he let out a long sigh and lowered his head..
“…… I'm really sorry, but the blood demon sword is not something that can be made. First of all, it is not only impossible to obtain the materials, but…….”
“Wouldn't it be possible if we had this??”
I took Yun Che out of my arms and showed it to him..
Wi Ji-yeol's eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Woon-cheol for a moment wondering what this was..
“Woo, ooh, ooh, clouds……!”
I was so surprised that the arm holding the cloud was shaking..
It has to be that way.
To a master who handles iron, Uncheol is a greater treasure than Daehwandan or Gongcheong Petroleum..
I asked in a serious voice.
“Can you make a sword better than the Blood Demon Sword??”
At that moment, the proud craftsman's eyes became as hot as a furnace..
“Would you believe me if I told you that what you want has been my lifelong goal??”
It was a word more trustworthy than any other promise..
But Wi Ji-yeol’s expression quickly darkened..
“There's one problem. To handle cloud metal, you need proper facilities. In a large blacksmith shop found only in large cities, there are many materials needed.…….”
The story was that it was difficult to find a decent blacksmith right away..
I said after listening for a while.
“Hmm. It just worked out well..”
“That went well?”
Coincidentally, one of the businesses that Old Man Heo left behind was a blacksmith shop..
I have a friend who can help me get two counterfeit cards..
“Two people. If you have nowhere to go, will you come with me??”
that night.
I set out with an old field manager who had been a fugitive for many years and a boy who needed a proper teacher..
