Chapter 3
Woo Il-moon was also the same..
His hair and beard were hanging down like wild wisps, and his clothes were torn in several places and were a mess..
Even my thin shoulders slumped..
“Indeed… … What a scary gyro..”
Even if I was just a little bit late, I got hurt..
I was especially shocked when the person made of blood appeared at the end..
It was difficult for just one person, but when the number of four increased to five, it gave me goosebumps..
“Without your help in the end, I would have been in danger too..
Thank you.”
Woo Il-moon did not expect Ju Seo-cheon..
What I was aiming for was the Iggyeo sword that was deployed simultaneously..
And at a critical moment, Joo Seo-cheon appeared and helped..
“no… … Whoa whoa!”
Joo Seocheon took a deep breath and exhaled..
Let's take a breath, it's still better.
“Rather, after this is over, I have something to ask you. You know what I mean..”
“yes.”
‘You're in big trouble.’
Joo Seocheon scratched the back of his head as if he was troubled..
I tried to explain it to you, but it is impossible to verify it..
Even if you learn the tricks of Jaha Gong, it does not mean you can use the unique elementary technique called Jaha Geomgyeol..
Even the ancestral rites were performed perfectly..
It was natural to be suspicious..
Still, it was fortunate that I was able to kill the blood demon safely..
So, I thought.
Puuk!
“Heheheok!”
Woo Il-moon opened his eyes wide..
“this… … What on earth……”
Woo Il-moon's pupils shook as if there was an earthquake..
What was pointed at at the end of the gaze was a collection of blood in the shape of a protruding arm with a hole in the chest..
Joo Seocheon was so shocked that he couldn't say anything..
Woo Il-moon slowly turned his head..
I looked behind me, but there was no one..
There was nothing but blood gathered together..
“not… … ok……!”
Woo Il-moon shouts in an old voice.
The body slowly falls backwards..
Before I could stretch out my hand to catch the falling body, the coffin lying on the floor got up, opened the door, and swallowed Woo Il-moon..
“long essay!”
Joo Seocheon tried to grab the coffin with an urgent voice..
However, before that, when the coffin was opened, Woo Il-moon, who had been hidden, rose up as if bouncing..
“A long writer! long essay!”
“Huh... … What should I do?.”
Woo Il-moon's surprised expression had returned to its original state..
“……”
Joo Seocheon was startled and took a step back..
‘voice is……?’
It was a voice that made my hair stand on end just by hearing it..
It felt like scraping metal and a lot of phlegm..
“Even... … no……!”
Joo Seocheon was shocked with an expression of disbelief..
And that dream becomes reality.
Uilmun Gate began to rot in an instant..
It looked like an old corpse, not a person..
Starting from the right cheek, the skin on the entire left side of the face is torn..
Bloody tears flowed from my eyes..
And the pressure in my eyes rose, but eventually my eyeballs fell out..
It was empty inside, as if someone had dug it out..
“Even if he is one of the Ten Places of Heaven, his value is reduced as a body with not much life left.……”
flashing!
Blood glowed from the black eye sockets..
“Hehehehe. Now that all the skin and muscle under your nose has fallen off, you won't even be able to tell when you're smiling..”
His dazzlingly white beard fell off in droves..
Hair also blows away in the wind and disappears.
Joo Seocheon could not bear to continue speaking..
“So, did you receive your skills from Geomseon, or did you achieve that level??”
Woo Il-moon, no, Blood Demon asked..
Joo Seocheon was speechless..
He looked like he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer..
I was speechless at the sight, which was so unrealistic..
“Jang, writer……?”
“It is not wrong to say that the identity of Geomseon lies in Jeong (精). This physical thing is a long sign of volcanoes..”
The Blood Demon tapped his chest and laughed..
The skin on the lower jaw was torn and the facial expression was unknown..
“One, energy and spirit are not in Geomseon, but in this blood demon, so it would be better not to project useless people..”
“……”
Joo Seocheon kept his mouth shut..
The pupil that used to swim like a fish has regained its original position..
‘Jang Moon-in… … passed away.’
Embarrassment and perplexity poured in like a flood of water, but I was strong-minded not to be swept away by the torrent of emotions..
As I clenched my fists, my nails dug into my flesh, and my teeth bit my lip and drew blood..
All kinds of questions arose in my head..
‘Is Jang Moon-in really dead??
Could it be that your body was temporarily taken over by a blood demon??
What on earth is that tube behind my back??’
The questions piled up one after another..
But it wasn't the time.
the situation was serious.
“run away!”
Joo Seocheon shouted with his eyes fixed on the blood demon..
“……”
Zhuge Suran stopped breathing..
She also seemed to be shocked by what had just happened, but as befits her cool and calm personality, she quickly calmed down..
I've never seen or heard of changing one's body, or rather taking one's body..
Even if you look back at the history of Moorim, it was an unprecedented event..
Above all, perhaps because what happened was so far from reality, it took a while for my mind to catch up with the situation..
Zhuge Shuran also tried to resolve his doubts by turning his brain over, but he also recognized that it was not the time..
Judging the situation was quick.
“Let's take a step back..”
“Mosamibong!”
Honggo protested..
“no. this is best.”
Zhuge Suran raised his hand to stop Hong Gu from saying his next words..
“I don't know why, but it seems that the blood demon is not interested in anyone other than Zhou Gongja right now. So, it is better to step aside and seek help as quickly as possible while there is still a chance..”
He explained briefly in a cold voice, as if a cold north wind was blowing..
“…… I wish you luck, Prince Zhou..”
Zhuge Suran turned his back without even looking back, raised the flag of the Murim League high and waved it left and right..
‘It's a retreat!’
The special forces moved.
‘Yeah, it's better without it.’
Joo Seocheon just rolled his eyes and took a quick look..
I was relieved to see Zhuge Suran defeating the special forces..
If I were alone, I could run away in peace..
I couldn't fight and protect someone in front of a blood demon..
Following Inryong, even Geomseon lost his life, making the future of the political faction Murim Alliance unclear..
I couldn't afford to lose people who would become my main force again in a place like this..
‘Should I have brought the major?……’
Joo Seocheon’s chest rose and fell slowly..
Before participating in the Great War, the Major was dropped..
There was no problem with the enemy, but I thought it would be a pain if our allies noticed..
In a place where representatives of prestigious political factions gather, it is obvious how they would react if an assassin is lurking nearby..
They say it doesn't matter as long as you don't get caught, but even if you're a ghost, you can't hide it in a place where the masters of the flower world are gathered..
I left it behind because I was very sensitive due to the war, and I didn't want to cause a fuss..
So I went into battle completely ignoring it, but now I regret it..
“Why are you so worried??”
Fluffy.
When the blood demon stretched out his hand, the four sound fields that were placed in a hollow space like a pit flew out and were caught..
‘……Is the original body dead??’
What was originally the body of a blood demon was difficult to even see as a corpse..
There were ten swords stuck in his body, and he looked completely devastated from the successive attacks..
Strangely, even though it was a wound of that size, it was not possessed even by a single drop of blood, and it was like a tree that was so dry that all the moisture was sucked out, like a loach, with only bare branches left..
“They just moved from there to here and took over Geomseon's old body..”
However, that question was resolved in vain through blood demons..
Blood Demon spoke like an old man telling a story while letting out a low laugh as to what was so funny..
“The thing behind this is called the black crown, and it is a law made during the Jin Dynasty. If you put a living person in it, it will become a god among spirit gods, and will have the mysterious ability to separate the mind and will. Isn't it truly amazing??”
When you entered the coffin and the door opened, didn't it turn into a blood demon instead of Uilmun?.
I could tell just by looking at it that it was a book of law..
“The sound field alone is astounding, but the fact that it even possesses this kind of notation... … These are truly great people..”
The blood demon tapped the black coffin..
A sound rang out as if the inside was empty..
“Is it a rock club??”
Joo Seocheon asked in a tone that said he expected it..
“okay.”
The blood demon shook his head up and down, then raised his sword and pointed at Ju Seocheon..
“As always, if something goes, something must also come..
I also have something I want to hear from you..”
“Authorization for your own work?”
“Hehehehe, it's a shame. It's not a wrong answer, but it's not a right answer either..
I wonder if he actually got promoted to the police station..”
‘Why are I so obsessed with my state??’
If I look back to the past, I have always been curious and asked questions..
It was even like that when arguing with Woo Il-moon..
When Joo Seocheon kept his mouth shut for a moment, the blood demon shook the sound field and made a sound, attracting attention..
“Do you write when you are lost in thought in front of a person? It looks like you want to know the intention of my question, so feel free to ask as many questions as you want. I answer everything especially honestly..”
I also didn't know why he was so kind..
“As any military officer would naturally know, the difference between Hyeon-gyeong and Hwa-gyeong is world-class. The ingredients, time, effort, and techniques for making jiangshi are all different. Wouldn't it be a big problem if you made a foolish mistake and consumed a precious body?.”
‘surely……’
I don't know much about Hyeongyeong, but it is said that the composition of the body changes again. The properties of the body also change.
From the point of view of a strongman, this information is important..
“Above all, when it comes to police management, I have to abandon this old body and replace it with that body, so it is a very important issue for me, so I have no choice but to pay attention.!”
‘why… … What did you give me? Amcheonhoe.’
Joo Seocheon swallowed a groan and strengthened his hands..
‘Nothing like that existed in my past life..’
I tried to recall old memories from earlier, but they did not appear..
There was nothing about coffins in the Battle of Blood and Blood..
It was the same when killing blood demons..
I thought there was no way such an important thing would be left out..
‘If so, it is reasonable to think that this happened because history changed..’
I knew it was a future where I didn't know where it would go, but many things had really changed..
“You would know without having to ask.?”
It would be nice to take a little more time, but it would be difficult if I got angry for no reason..
So I found the right time and answered..
“Hmm, I see. It was a long process, but in the end, the level above was not achieved..”
Honestly, the blood demon's question didn't make much sense..
You can't tell lies or bluffs..
In any case, it is impossible to avoid the eyes of the Ten Chairs of Heaven who have ascended to the prefecture..
Even if it is located at the peak of the flower world, it is not something that can be hidden..
Now that his achievements have surpassed the ten stars, his unique secret nature has disappeared..
Even ghost skills can't hide it..
“This means that a person who is not even a scholar of Jangmun learned his own merits... … Does that mean it's possible??”
The blood demon looked in disbelief even after hearing it..
The rules and customs of the political faction, especially the Daemun faction, are strict..
It's not that easy to change.
This is especially true if it is a great skill that is only passed down to long-time writers..
No matter how much you are called a hero and revered, and even if you have achievements to match it, it is impossible..
“No, no. no.”
The blood demon shook his head..
“If that is really so, then what is this residual thought that is so surprised, so curious, and why does it care??”
Step by step.
The blood demon steps forward alternately with its right and left feet..
“Maehwajeonggeom, Ju Seocheon.”
The Blood Demon's voice became serious..
The eye glow that seemed to be filled with laughter also turned eerie..
“When they handed over this black coffin and said that Ju Seo-cheon must be killed, I had doubts. Even though he is not a hero of the political faction, a Murim lord, or a swordsman, is he to kill a brat who only meets the terms of service??”
I was surprised when I first saw it..
Even if you search through history and history, there is no one who has achieved the achievement of peace and tranquility in a short period of time and has been ranked as one of the world's greatest masters..
Even in today's martial arts world, there is no one who has achieved that level of achievement at that age..
Certainly, if left as is, any force other than political factions will grow into the greatest rebellion..
“Cheonki, there is no way that a person with such extraordinary intelligence would carelessly give excessive power like a black crown. The financial calculations are not right.”
Blood demons are never stupid. Rather, his brain is so sharp..
Unlike a magician, he is not caught up in madness..
He also wasn't rational to begin with..
On the contrary, he was a great demon head with a stronger demonic nature than anyone else in the clan..
However, after breaking down the wall that reached the extreme and moving on, I was able to control my uncontrollable demonic nature..
Since then, not only have we been able to tolerate various desires and make rational decisions, but our understanding has also increased..
“If the intention is to weaken the martial forces by fighting between them through the Chadosalininininjunction, the balance must be struck well..”
Now that the Sa faction has been weakened, it is time for the political faction to be weakened..
So, I gave the blood religion a warning and pushed my back..
The blood demon knew the intention well..
I knew I wasn't going to lose anything, so I moved..
I was confident that even if Amcheonhoe did something foolish in the future, I could just crush it with my increased power..
“The optimal outcome that Amcheonhoe hopes for is for both sides to suffer massive damage and calm down. Maybe he was thinking of killing me with his hands. However, if they are given a black crown, it will not end up being a headache for them..”
It’s a burden, no, it’s more than that..
Isn't this an army of lions that increases the more people die?.
“then……”
pot!
The blood demon moved at high speed, leaving an afterimage..
“Who on earth is Joo Seo-cheon??”
Boom.
The Blood Demon threw out his fist. strong and fast.
As the atmosphere split in two, a blow that raised Mount Tai flew out..
“Inhale!”
Joo Seocheon took a breath and turned his body to the side..
Fortunately, the fist passed without hitting his chest..
“hmm!”
As if the blood demon didn't like it, he swung his sword..
Powok!
“Ugh!”
Joo Seocheon sat down in his place..
I felt extreme pain, as if my shoulder blade, where the dead sound field had fallen, had been broken..
“Now, what is it that makes me so curious??”
“I am……”
My shoulders were shaking..
It's not because of pain or fear..
Keep your bent knees and back straight.
I put strength on both shoulders and pushed the saeumjang upward..
I felt pain but didn't care.
“The Four Great Disciples of the Volcano Sect.”
Joo Seocheon raised his head..
Those eyes were burning more than ever.
“It's Ju Seocheon.”
Zhuge Suran became desperate..
Part of me wanted to leave the special unit alone and rush out to ask for help..
But as a commander, I can't do that..
We retreated safely, clearing the surroundings, and returned to base..
‘Master Eunha... … no.’
No matter how gentle Mr. Eunha is, he might lose his temper if he learns that Ho Deok-chang, Jong-nam's promising leader, has died..
It would have been better to ask him to lead the main unit..
“I will bring you Ilgeom7sal and Shaman Ijeol. I would like to ask Baekbo Kwon Seung for help with Iljanghangma..”
Although we needed strength, we were not comfortable with removing the commander..
Still, it was an unavoidable situation..
“Are you planning to join forces and strike a blood demon??”
“yes. Even if it is a blood demon that doesn't look like a human, it will be exhausted after an all-out war with Geomseon..”
It is not a conclusion reached based on emotional bias..
It was calculated thoroughly using logical thinking skills..
Even if you can't do anything with Blood Demon, you might be able to inflict fatal wounds or rescue Joo Seocheon..
‘Confucius Zhou is not the kind of person who will die in a place like this..’
Although it was brief, a memory of being with him came to mind..
‘……Because he has debts too..’
He became a friend to his younger brother who was persecuted and ignored by his family..
Even his brother saved him when he didn't know what to do..
‘So, please wait a moment. Confucius.’
My bones throbbed..
It seemed like the muscle fibers were torn, so I couldn't apply my strength properly..
There was a small hole in my body..
It hurt like I was going to die, but I still didn't die..
I moved desperately, somehow squeezing out my remaining strength..
“hmm!”
It was a nightmare.
Even though it was only a body, I didn't know that I would fight a life-or-death battle with the monk's master..
‘Yu Eun-bi too!’
Sleeves with plum blossom embroidery puffed out..
A dagger came out from within and aimed at the Blood Demon's uvula..
“Memorization?”
I could feel the absurdity in the Blood Demon's voice..
It was natural to be taken aback by the fact that a disciple of the Great Moon Sect, and also a hero of the Right Sect, had demonstrated high-level dark techniques..
It's a blood demon that avoids memorization by just nodding its head, but the sword of the volcano ahead leads to a quick attack..
“It's the same.”
The Blood Demon snorted and accepted it with a saeumjang..
Jjaeng!
The sword and the stone sword rang out..
The friction sound became longer.
‘It's worth a try.’
Joo Seocheon smiled inwardly..
Things weren't so bleak.
Even the blood demon was not in good condition..
The reason the first blow missed was not because of carelessness..
It was clear that he was exhausted from the fierce battle with Woo Il-moon..
No matter how much he reached the level of an absolute expert, there was no way he would be fine after expending that much internal power..
Above all, isn't it someone else's body?.
kidneys or muscles.
Since my reaction speed was different, I thought it was natural that I would not be able to show my true skills..
‘Pfft!’
However, his body was not normal either..
There was no rest at all as the separate unit moved..
On the contrary, he fought many enemies ahead of anyone else..
To make matters worse, the blood demon's attack left holes in my limbs, and a lot of my energy, which was like a never-dry well, was consumed..
‘Do not give up.’
But I couldn't leave here.
I grit my teeth, strengthen my resolve, and swing my beloved sword..
Whirling!
It was not a geomcho with complicated tricks..
It was a straight cut, drawing a line from top to bottom..
However, as monotonous as it was, strength and speed were added..
Pure violence fell with the force of splitting heads..
Chaae Aeng!
But it was blocked so easily.
He raised the saeumjang held in his left hand above his head to block the sword, and then stretched out his right hand forward..
Tendons have sprouted over what little skin there is, and an invisible pressure is approaching, threatening to shrink you..
Powok!
Blood Demon's palm hit Ju Seocheon's abdomen..
However, Joo Seocheon did not fall down with blood splattered on his face..
It looked like he had been hit in the abdomen by a palm, but he stopped at a slight distance away, as if he had been blocked by something..
‘Is there still this much inner strength left??’
The blood demon made a surprising voice within himself..
If my eyes weren't gouged, they would probably have gotten bigger..
‘Do not give up!’
It was the same for Joo Seo-cheon, who held the military flag with one hand instead of two..
I clenched my fist with my left hand..
‘Blood Demon!’
The upper arm muscles became red and red..
Blue veins popped out on my left arm..
The power released from the dantian becomes gongpower..
And as if resonating with the arm, a pale green light emanated from the eyes in the same direction..
‘Green Eyes Only Poison Ball!’
Boom.
My back turned slightly.
All of that rotational power was stored in the left arm..
The atmosphere was crushed and split in two..
Eventually, the fist lands on the Blood Demon's cheek..
Wow!!
skin is crushed.
My head whipped to the side..
The poison that penetrated through the contact surface swept through my body..
