Chapter 96
##96fury. Self-introduction
Chilsal asked with an interested expression..
“Did you know I would come??”
Most assassins die if they fail to assassinate on the first attack..
This is because most of the martial arts that assassins learn are stealth techniques, dark techniques, deadly strikes to cut off breathing, and light attacks to escape..
-The assassin is scary because you never know when they might try to kill you, but the assassin whose identity is revealed is not that scary..
Gangho's old saying.
But the opponent in front of me was Salmak's assassin..
Baek Soo-ryong answered without taking his eyes off the other person even for a moment..
“There's no way you guys would give up easily, right? So I set up a place..”
“Oh my. I guess I took the bait..”
Even though the first attack failed and his identity was revealed, Chilsal's tone or actions did not seem impatient at all..
“Actually, I thought that might be the case.…….”
Chilsal touched his face and muttered to himself..
“I thought I got caught because of my face again. I wonder if there was a subtle difference due to strong resistance when the skin was cut.…….”
The mutterings of a seven-year-old with the face of Heonwon River.
Gongsunsu, who had a terrifying imagination, screamed..
“Yes, you guy! What did you do to Kang? Surely that face……!”
“Elderly.”
Baek Soo-ryong calmed Gongsun Soo, who was about to run out with his sword..
“That guy wouldn't have done anything to Heon Won-gang..”
“Why are you so sure??”
Chilsal tilted his head and asked.
Baek Soo-ryong snorted at the opponent’s psychological warfare that didn’t work..
“The better the sprayer, the less likely he is to use crude bast masks made by peeling off the skin on his face. It is much more efficient to learn the reverse drill..”
“Even so, that would not be a reason for me to keep Heonwon River alive.?”
When Chilsal asked with a grin, Baek Soo-ryong also smiled the same way..
“I have no choice but to save it. Heonwon-gang should be alive and well, so we shouldn't blame him after killing the old man.?”
“Hoo…….”
Chilsal was slightly impressed by Baek Soo-ryong, who even deduced the plan after the murder..
“Have you ever lived in the past??”
“This is something you can understand if you think about it a little..”
“You are a smart person..”
“I hear that often.”
Chil-sal laughed quietly at Baek Soo-ryong’s answer, which did not give up on a single word..
It was a laugh filled with mockery, not admiration..
“I guess such a smart person didn't expect one thing..”
There was only one reason why Chilsal was so relaxed even after his first attack failed..
“I was just faithful to my duty as a assassin, and even if it wasn't a surprise attack, I could kill you right here..”
Tsutsutsutsu.
A black fog-like energy flowed from Chilsal's body and instantly covered his entire body..
“Heo Eok……!”
Gongsunsu was astonished by the terrible energy he felt from Chil-sal..
“Do you know why the assassin of Salmak is called the king of assassins??”
A dark green glow emanated from the only two exposed eyes in the seven-year-old's body completely covered in darkness..
“Because we have the martial arts ability to kill anyone even if it is not a sneak attack..”
“…….”
Chilsal’s presence weighed heavily on the surrounding space..
The darkness flowing from his body suddenly surrounded the two like fog..
“Assassination is just one way to kill someone..”
Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
As Chilsal, engulfed in darkness, walked step by step through the fog, the fog dispersed here and there..
Baek Soo-ryong snorted and said.
“Pretending to be proud. I'm afraid of Namgung Jehak, so I've only come forward now..”
“haha. I'll admit that.”
On the day when the assassins of the Black Forest rampaged at the Blue Dragon Academy to kill Gongsun Su, the seven assassins did not move until the end..
The reason was the existence of Namgung Jehak, the Sword King of Changcheon..
“I'm not ashamed of that fact. The Ten Zones are monsters that we cannot be certain that they can be killed even if all of Salmak's assassins attack them. But not you, Baek Su-ryong..”
Chilsal smiled and continued speaking. The force flowing from his body was getting stronger..
“I've been watching you for the past few days. Although he had an amazing ability to teach his students, his own martial arts skills were not up to par..”
“……Did you observe me?.”
“On the day when the assassins with dark hearts went on the rampage, I saw them fighting against them. It was at the beginner level of a peak expert. If you hid your skills, you might be a little better than that.…….”
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong’s expression hardened..
A smile appeared on the seven-year-old's lips as he sensed that he was nervous..
“Still, you must be feeling by now that the difference between you and me is as big as heaven and earth..”
Tsutsutsutsu……!
The darkness surrounding the seven years became increasingly darker and heavier..
Salmak's Seven Kills).
That meant he was the seventh best assassin in martial arts..
“Huh, huh……!”
Gongsunsu's face turned white as if he was out of breath. My breathing became heavy and my knees gave out. He looked like he was having a hard time even standing up straight..
Chil-sal looked at the sight happily and said.
“It will take a while until the Heavenly Sword comes here. Before that, I plan to kill Gongsunsu, decorate you as a beast, and then destroy your body without a trace..”
“This bastard…….”
Looking at Baek Soo-ryong's distorted expression with his teeth clenched, Chil-sal felt a thrill of pleasure running down his spine..
A delicacy that can never be tasted in a quiet life like usual.).
Ilsal, the head of Salmak, may not like it, but sometimes he thought it would be a good idea to handle the contract secretly in this way..
“Teacher Baek… … . Just you... … escape… … Hit it…….”
flutter.
In the end, Gongsunsu, unable to withstand the pressure, fainted and collapsed..
A master who can knock out someone who has learned martial arts with just his momentum..
Looking at that fact alone, Chilsal was a master at the peak, especially a master who had almost reached the peak..
“Now, if you can, try blocking it..”
With seven-year-old green eyes flashing, he swung his dagger at Gongsun Soo..
Hwiik!
The black sword energy stretched out and aimed at Gongsunsu's neck..
And at that moment, Baek Soo-ryong’s stiff expression changed in an instant..
He curled up one corner of his mouth and said sarcastically to Chilsal..
“He's a black assassin. Long time no see.”
“……what?!”
The moment Chil-sal made a surprised expression, red energy exploded from Baek Soo-ryong’s body..
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
His hair rose to the sky, and his blue military uniform fluttered so violently that it seemed as if it would tear..
The red energy flowing from the White Water Dragon's body began to push away the darkness that had taken over the area..
The sword that Chilsal wielded disappeared without a trace..
“what……!”
Baek Soo-ryong took a step closer to Chil-sal, who unconsciously took a step back, and grinned..
“I thought you were the only person who couldn't show their skills because of Namgung Jehak.?”
“no way…….”
That day, Baek Soo-ryong did not reveal even half of his skills..
“As you said, the Ten Zones are monsters. So I can't show myself like this in front of him yet..”
Sssssssut…….
The white water dragon's black hair, fluttering in the air, began to turn red from the tips, turning into red hair as vivid as blood..
At the same time, his pupils turned red and began to emit red blood..
The moment he met those red eyes, Chilsal felt like a small animal standing in front of a wild beast..
Gulp.
‘What kind of martial arts…….’
Chil- sal knew of the numerous martial arts that existed in the martial arts world, but he had never heard of a martial artist whose hair and eyes turned red..
Baek Su-ryong clicked his tongue and said.
“Since you don't recognize this, I guess you're not a religious person..”
“hole……!”
Chil-sal stopped talking and quickly tried to control his expression, but he had already looked embarrassed..
Grinning.
The smile on Baek Soo-ryong’s mouth grew stronger..
“But that doesn't mean you really don't know, right? I guess we need an in-depth conversation..”
“you… … Who are you?.”
Chilsal’s attitude has completely changed..
Just looking at the momentum that Baek Soo-ryong has shown now, he was never beneath him..
Cold sweat formed on the seven-year-old's forehead as he gritted his teeth..
something was strange.
‘why…….’
Every time that red energy touches the darkness created by my black assassin, why does the darkness shrink in surprise?.
Why does my heart, which I thought was made of steel after decades of training, beat like an animal that has met its natural enemy?.
That scary feeling of feeling like you've already lost without even fighting... … What do you mean?.
“Should I tell you a funny story??”
Baek Soo-ryong grinned and raised his sword and aimed at Chil-sal..
Just that movement made Chilsal flinch and take a step back..
At that moment, the blood in Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes became even more intense..
flashing!
Blood Demon Eye).
It is a trait that can only be revealed when the achievement of Reverse Heavenly Art reaches at least 5 stars, and it is a martial art that is classified as an illusion in itself..
The Blood Demon Eye was a formidable martial art that could cause an opponent to fall into fear just by looking at it, and as its level of achievement increased, it could even perform suggestions, hallucinations, and even brainwashing..
It was the effectiveness of the Blood Demon Eye that destroyed the spirit of the Black Forest's assassin a few days ago..
“Over the past month, who do you think was the strongest martial artist at Baekryongjang??”
“no way…….”
Over the past month, Baeksu-ryong has absorbed into his own body an enormous amount of toxic and medicinal energy that had accumulated in Gongsunsu's body..
As a result, we succeeded in raising the achievement of Yeokcheonshingong to the level of neutrality..
The red hair and blood demon eyes fluttering in the wind were the proof..
rattle…….
Chil-sal couldn't control the trembling of his body that was getting worse..
Although it was partly because of my direct exposure to blood demons, there was a more fundamental problem..
“That martial arts… … Is it a blood religion??”
“never heard of it?”
At that moment, as if something suddenly occurred to me, Chilsal trembled..
“No way, no way……!”
Chil-sal looked at Baek Su-ryong with an expression of disbelief..
Blood-red hair and red eyes.
And that terrifying presence that seems to leave everyone at its feet..
Now the name of a being only talked about in legends came to mind..
“Blood Demon… … martial arts?”
Baek Soo-ryong flicked the tip of his sword at Chil-sal, who was muttering foolishly..
“How long are you going to stay stupid? They say there is only a moment in time. It's the same here too.”
After some time, another Ten Zones arrive here..
Baek Soo-ryong planned to get as much information as possible from Chil-sal before that..
“After we've finished introducing ourselves, let's begin..”
“for a moment……!”
Baeksu-ryong, who flew like a thunderbolt, swung his sword..
The blood-red sword energy that poured from his sword tore apart the darkness of the Black Death Demon Attacker..
* * *
“I'll be there soon.”
Cheongeom was a very quiet man..
In the entire journey from the imperial palace to here, including what I just said, I have only spoken twice..
The first was “We are leaving.”.
Since everyone knew that the Heavenly Sword was quiet, the procession itself to pick up Gongsunsu was also quiet..
“hmm?”
Cheongeom, who was leading the horse, suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes..
“what's going on?”
The black spirit approached and spoke. Cheongeom didn't even look at her and focused on his own senses..
Senses that far exceeded human limits sensed a collision of energy taking place in the distance..
Not far away, two planes believed to be of considerable skill were colliding..
The Cheongeom's expression stiffened slightly as he confirmed the direction..
“I'll go first, so follow me right away..”
“yes?”
There was no need to ask in detail..
The next moment, all Black Young saw was the words of Cheongeom, who was left alone in his seat..
whirring!
The expression on the face of the Heavenly Sword crossing the landscape in an instant made me feel deep inside..
‘Nothing should happen to the monk.…….’
After a while, the Heavenly Sword arrived at the scene of the collision..
Although the place was covered in thick darkness like fog, there were no problems with the Heavenly Sword's vision..
He stopped for another reason..
“her!”
A heartfelt sigh burst from the mouth of this quiet man..
where his gaze was directed.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Tearing through the darkness, a blood dragon was ascending to the sky..
