Chapter 97
##97fury. her!
While running away with all his might, Chilsal cursed without realizing it..
“Damn it…….”
How many years has it been since I seriously swore like this?.
After training as an assassin, every word that came out of his mouth was thoroughly calculated..
A true assassin is one who has a hundred faces and a thousand expressions and knows how to control them perfectly..
Chilsal has never failed to control it before..
……Until he meets the monster that is now chasing him..
Chilsal turned his head and looked back..
Sigh.!
Blood-red sword energy flew out and passed by. Several huge trees were cut sharply and fell on their sides..
And behind him, a red-eyed man was chasing after me with a red glow flashing from his eyes..
Gulp.
Chil-sal swallowed dry saliva..
If I hadn't narrowly avoided it, one of my legs would have been blown off..
Like the right arm that has already been blown away.
Fresh blood was dripping from my right shoulder where my arm was torn off..
Traces that look like they were eaten by the teeth of an animal, which can hardly be considered a sword wound..
I've seen countless martial arts skills from masters, but this was my first time seeing such ruthless swordsmanship..
‘no. Can that be called swordsmanship??’
Chilsal recalled the red sword energy that had engulfed his right arm..
A ferocious sword that reminded me of a blood dragon..
It tore apart the darkness of the Black Death Demon Attacker and immediately neutralized the Chilsal that was hiding within it and trying to attack..
The fight broke out and it happened only about ten days later..
‘……It's impossible.’
Baek Soo-ryong was never a top expert..
The skill level of the inner gong was actually seven years higher, and there was no need to mention the actual combat experience..
But I was overwhelmed..
All of the black assassin's herbivores were destroyed by the white water dragon's sword, and even the attack with all its might was incapacitated..
‘Is there a difference between martial arts??’
Baek Soo-ryong learned a new skill that is presumed to be the martial art of a blood demon in the past..
Is that why it’s so strong??
……No, it's different from that..’
The reason Baeksu-ryong was so strong was more fundamental..
‘But I don't know. I just don't know. The identity of that monster…….’
A truly incomprehensible being.
The moment he realized that he couldn't win, Chilsal turned around and started running away with all his might..
Fortunately, the decision was timely..
His superior endurance and legs trained over decades as a shooter made it easy to escape..
Because one arm was cut off, the center of gravity was different than usual, but it also had the advantage of being able to make the body lighter..
Whick! Swish!
As I gave my all, the surrounding scenery was instantly pushed back..
Chilsal had a reason to run away..
‘I need to tell Ilsal about this. A person who has learned the martial arts of blood demons appears. If the relationship between Salmak and blood religion is known,…….’
Sigh.!
At that moment, sword energy flew out and grazed my shoulder. Blood sprayed into the air and hair was cut off..
And then a mocking voice came from behind me..
“He acted so proud and then ran away.?”
The distance was closing quickly. If we continue like this, we won't even be able to reach half the height and will be overtaken by the Hundred Water Dragons..
Okay!
Chilsal clenched his teeth until blood came out. I squeezed my inner energy and sent it to Yongcheonhyeol, and I kicked the ground with my legs..
‘I can't die like this.’
As a assassin, I have always thought about death, but I have never imagined such a shabby end..
The end of being caught and killed by an unknown martial arts instructor, not even a famous martial arts master named one of the top 100 masters, is the end..
“How long do you think you can run away??”
The voice was almost coming from behind me..
When the flying sword energy passes by my side, boom! And the blood burst out.
Chil-sal bought some time by throwing away all the memorization and poison he had in his arms..
But that was also its limit now.
‘no more…….’
At that time, I saw a man standing not far away..
The man in official uniform had an angular square jaw, a blunt expression, and a sword at his waist..
He seemed to have learned martial arts, but did not appear to be an expert..
At that moment, Chilsal suddenly remembered a plan..
‘Let's hold the author hostage.’
Anyway, Baek Soo-ryong is the leader of the political faction..
I don't know if I can call him Jeong Pa-in even after seeing the ghost-like figure chasing me from behind.…….
Is there no other way?.
Tadat!
Chilsal kicked the ground and immediately attacked the expressionless man. I planned to grab his head right away without having time to resist..
If you turn around immediately and present yourself as a hostage, you will at least buy yourself some time..
‘If you don't think the hostage will work, you can use it as a shield. If you throw it just enough to not kill it, it will at least show some hesitation..’
It was a time when many calculations were busy in Chil-sal's head..
A man with a blunt expression opened his mouth..
“It's the assassin's martial arts skill. Are you the one who tried to harm the monk??”
“!!”
With a deep and low voice, Chilsal felt an enormous pressure press down on his body..
……Kwaaang!
Chil-sal's body fell straight out of the air and hit the floor..
“Ugh, gasp……!”
Looking down at the chilblains writhing like bugs, the man opened his mouth with a blunt expression on his face..
“On behalf of heaven's will.”
Grumble.
The man drew his sword.
The two letters ‘天儉’ were engraved on his sword face..
“Oh, no way…….”
After belatedly realizing the other person's identity, Chil-sal's expression soon relaxed into resignation..
Chil-sal muttered with his eyes closed..
“……It's an honor to die for you.”
“I will endure you.”
The moment the light flashed, a straight line was drawn from the top of Chilsal’s head to his groin..
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The seven-year-old body, cut in half, fell helplessly to the side..
The Heavenly Sword no longer paid attention to the corpse, but instead turned its gaze to the red-eyed man who had followed Chilsal..
“Can you survive too??”
“…….”
* * *
Baek Su-ryong stopped in place and cautiously opened his mouth..
“no.”
Susssut…….
Baek Soo-ryong's hair and eyes quickly regained their original color..
‘I'm in trouble.’
A presence that could not be captured even by the expanded energy sense that reached the neutral point of the reverse heavenly magic attack..
And the moment Baek Soo-ryong saw the two characters (天儉) clearly engraved on the sword, he realized who the opponent was..
“Are you Cheongeom??”
“Yes.”
“…….”
You showed yourself using the Reverse Heavenly Technique on none other than the Ten Lords..
Although it is said that Cheongeom is a master of the imperial palace and not a martial arts sect.…….
“know me?”
The gaze of the Heavenly Sword that seemed to pierce through the entire body caused cold sweat to form on the White Water Dragon's spine..
“My name is Baek Su-ryong and I am an instructor at Cheongryong Academy. With the elderly Gongsonsu…….”
“I learned a strange martial art..”
The Heavenly Sword clearly said that it would not listen..
When he raised his sword and aimed, Baeksuryong took a step back and widened the gap..
“……Didn't you hear what I said to the dark spirit??”
“I heard. But I have no way of confirming that you are him..”
“Would you like me to show you a flag??”
“i don't like jokes.”
The dark eyes were sincere. He continued speaking in a low tone..
“First, I will cut off both your arms and interrogate you..”
“I don't like jokes.”
“…….”
Instead of answering, the Heavenly Sword swung its sword lightly..
Baek Soo-ryong, who was very alert, could barely read the trajectory..
Sigh.!
The sword energy that passed through the air only faded away after cutting down dozens of trees..
Gulp.
Baeksu-ryong swallowed his saliva and looked at Cheongeom’s expression. The corners of his mouth were slightly twisted..
“It's pretty good.”
“for a moment! If I wait a moment, won't the dark spirit come and confirm my identity??”
“…….”
After pondering for a moment, Cheongeom opened his mouth again..
“Wait until you cut off your arm.”
“This is crazy……!”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
As the Heavenly Sword began to increase its internal power in earnest, an enormous amount of energy pressed down on the White Water Dragon's body..
“Ugh……!”
Absolute masters at the Ten Zone level dominate space itself with their own energy..
Unless you are an expert at a similar level, it is nearly impossible to move your body freely in it..
Even Baeksu-ryong was no exception. I felt like my knees would bend at any moment..
“I will see with my own eyes what he is doing..”
“…….”
From those words, Baek Su-ryong was able to read a little of the Heavenly Sword's true intention..
‘I'm trying to figure out my martial arts skills..’
The reverse heavenly attack is a monster that will never be seen again in the world..
There was no way a master with a sword of a thousand swords could not have felt that..
There may not be any sincere intention to harm..
‘……But I don't think they'll look at it that way..’
The Heavenly Sword aimed the tip of the sword at Baeksuryong’s left arm..
“left.”
It was a warning that his left arm would be cut off. The arrogant statement that if you can avoid it, avoid it..
White Water Dragon was in tears, but for now, he wanted to avoid conflict with the Ten Lords at all costs..
With difficulty under the increasingly strong pressure, he opened his mouth and spoke..
“This is not the time... … From winning… … Shouldn’t we save it? You're lying down behind me right now…….”
Cheongeom chuckled as if he already knew..
“My breathing is steady, and there's no sign of anything around me..”
The absolute expert's incredible sense of humor came after he had already confirmed Gongsun Soo's location and safety..
In the end, it was a fight that could not be avoided no matter what..
“LOL. Damn… … . It comes out like this until the end..”
There was a limit to my patience.
If it's something that can't be avoided, there's no choice but to collide with it.
Baek Soo-ryong raised his Reverse Heavenly Art to its full potential..
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Red-stained hair soared into the sky, and red blood exploded from both eyes..
Clutter.
My back, which had been weighing down, was straightened, and my knees, which were shaking as if they would collapse, were firmly fixed..
The Heavenly Sword watched the scene and sighed softly..
“……This is a martial arts skill that looks dangerous. What kind of martial arts?”
In response to the Heavenly Sword's tone that seemed to still look down on him, Baek Su-ryong spoke in a loud voice filled with inner energy..
“I have no intention of telling this to a guy who doesn’t know any grace..”
“Are you saying you are my benefactor??”
“How many times do you think I saved an elderly person who was almost hit by a killer? Do you, who persecute me, know grace?!”
“……If what you say is correct, then yes. Stop talking nonsense.”
Heavenly Sword did not want to talk any more..
However, he warned me one more time by moving the tip of his sword..
“left.”
Even the Hundred Water Dragons did not lose and aimed at the right arm of the Heavenly Sword..
“right.”
“…….”
Heavenly Sword's eyebrows twitched for the first time. He put a little more energy into his sword than he had originally intended..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
An enormous golden energy swirled around the body of the Heavenly Sword..
At the same time, a huge amount of red energy erupted from the White Water Dragon's body..
The two exploding energies collided and mixed together to form the Dragon Fist Wind..
Inside, the two men's new forms moved at the same time..
At the same time, a tearing scream was heard..
“Stop! He is the elder’s benefactor.!”
Heukyeong, who had been performing a light attack with all his might, fearlessly launched himself into the dragon fist wind..
There were numerous scratches all over his body, but he didn't care and shouted..
“please stop!”
After a while, the dragon fist wind disappeared as if it had been washed away..
And then I saw two men standing facing each other..
The Heavenly Sword was touching the White Water Dragon's neck..
White Water Dragon, whose hair had returned to its original color, was bleeding from the mouth. He had his sword hanging down..
Both of their arms were fine..
Heukyeong saw that and shouted to Cheongeom..
“Put down that sword right now.!”
“……That's right.”
The Heavenly Sword lowered its sword and looked at the White Water Dragon for a moment before turning around..
“I am going to see the monk. Let me heal my internal injuries and follow you..”
“…….”
I could feel the White Water Dragon's gaze glaring at me from behind, but I ignored it..
He recalled the sword he had exchanged with Baeksu-ryong a moment ago..
‘They said they were aiming for the right arm... … Without realizing it, I was aiming for the neck..’
It was true that I saw it.
But no matter how much that may be, the eerie force just now was real..
How long has it been since you felt that way?.
The Heavenly Sword looked down at its right hand, which the White Water Dragon was aiming at..
At that moment, the end of his right arm sleeve broke loose..
“her!”
The Heavenly Sword let out an exclamation without realizing it..
