Chapter 5
Essential conditions for current management.
If you succeed in realizing the imagery, you will gain ‘something’ according to each individual’s characteristics..
For example, Jang Mun-in, Geom-seon, Woo Il-mun and Jin-in are ‘geom’..
You can control the sword as if it were your own hand and use less power..
It can't even be compared to something like empty space..
And in the case of Apostolic Heaven, I am not sure yet, but it is highly likely that it is 'territorial domination'..
It may be a virtue of providing a paedo, but if it has that much power, it must be a realization of imagination..
No, maybe the condition for success in providing a paedo is itself an illusion..
Namgung Weimu is also not sure..
However, based on what I felt from previous teachings, I guessed that it might be 'Chang Gung'..
Lastly, in the case of the blood demon, as he himself said, it was ‘gi and blood.’.
To be exact, it was closer to blood..
The secret of changing the physical body was also discovered naturally when I realized the realization of imagery..
“It expels a person's will with a black coffin, inserts the main body in its place, takes away the person's body, and moves it. Isn't that the secret of immortality??”
There was a high probability that some of the energy and blood was divided and hidden inside the black coffin..
Since there were two bodies to begin with, even if the human form dies, it is enough to use another body inside the coffin to kill the enemy and take over that body..
The same goes for Wooilmun.
It forms the blood into the shape of a hand, pierces the chest, brings it into the black coffin, and eats it..
It may seem like an impossible task, but it is quite possible if you implement the imagination that creates laws with a will that goes beyond human limitations along with magical magic..
“So I blocked the power outage so they couldn't run away again..
It's a pity that we couldn't penetrate the black pipe behind it.……”
The sword pierced the back, but did not even make a scratch on the black coffin hanging on the back..
As it was a treasure made and used during the Jin Dynasty, its durability was not normal..
I thought the material was made of perennial iron..
“Huh, huh……”
A laugh flowed from the corner of the blood demon's mouth..
“Now I think I understand.”
Even though there was a sword stuck in his lower abdomen, the blood demon spoke well..
“Why did they try to kill you, even giving me excessive power? … That's right.”
It was certainly not normal to be named one of the top 100 masters in the world when you were only 20 years old..
However, it was not so obsessed that it would disrupt the balance of power and cause disruption to the great world..
but not now.
I understood and sympathized with Cheon-gi’s anxiety, obsession, and warnings..
“I put Moorim in the palm of my hand?”
He shouted mockingly in a voice filled with blood demons..
“Kahahahaha!”
The light that was seen earlier.
That smile and expression were so scary that everyone who saw them was completely shocked..
The leading figures of the Murim Alliance behind Joo Seocheon felt their hair stand on end and a shiver run down their spines..
‘my body doesn't move.’
Clearly, the immediate danger is over..
Even if you are one of the ten most powerful angels, it will be difficult to live or even move if the sword is stuck exactly in your Danjeon..
But for some reason, I was so overwhelmed by that laughter that I couldn't move my body as if I was gripped by fear..
helioplast.
Didn't you say that you regain your energy for a moment right before you die?.
It looked exactly like that..
The ominous twinkling eye glow became redder and more eerie, burning brightly like a hot fire..
“Hero of the political faction, you are truly a monster.!”
The blood demon shouted with sincerity..
I climbed to a level where experience is essential, not talent or effort..
Even if one's enlightenment is deep, it is impossible to establish one's life as if one had lived one's entire life within the terms and conditions..
That is certainly true. It's not wrong..
But his age is different from reality.
I experienced a mysterious anomaly called regression..
But who would have imagined that?.
“You are in the Jungwon, in Wulin, in the world! What will it manifest! What to show!”
The blood demon didn't care about defeat..
I didn’t attach any meaning to dying..
Just like before, I just conveyed my thoughts verbally..
“Blood Demon.”
Joo Seocheon also calmly answers questions..
“Did you say that Hyeongyeong is something that goes beyond repeating things and discovers and creates new things, melting your whole life into new concepts and sublimating them into your own??”
That face was infinitely serious..
“Most people agree with that statement. But there is something wrong.”
Joo Seocheon lowered his voice so that only the blood demon could hear..
“Follow-up also falls into that category..”
A question arose in the blood demon's eyes..
“Unfortunately, this old man does not have the genius to deserve praise. He just followed and learned what was taught since ancient times. He watched the hero's back and followed him, and that's how he lived day after day..
I'm not a monster, blood demon.”
“you……”
Was death approaching? I saw something in vain..
Standing in front of me was not a young man, but a frail old man..
And that too, he was a criminal who had just entered the world of peace..
“If I hadn't followed suit all these years, I wouldn't be where I am today. If it really takes a lifetime to realize an image, you cannot leave out the practice of following along. Isn't that right??”
The old man smiled softly, a little happily..
“Disciples of a recluse learn knowledge passed down from generation to generation and refer to the wisdom of their teacher. Additionally, the martial arts people admire heroes, rely on them, and sometimes follow their footsteps. So do I.
Isn't that an ordinary person??”
The leaves of the plum blossom, which I don't know where they came from, fell fluttering..
“What this small man saw at the edge of nothingness, and what he reaffirmed at a new stage, was 'following the path' and……”
As the plum leaves passed by again, covering the old man's face, the young man he had been face to face with until now was revealed..
“If there's something a little special, it's going back.].”
Joo Seo-cheon paid his respects and gave a warm greeting..
“Goodbye, Blood Demon. I will never forget the confrontation with the Sangcheonjwa..”
At that greeting, the blood demon's eye glow blinked as if in a daze, but eventually it gradually faded and fell silent as if immersed in peace..
Joo Seocheon placed his foot on the blood demon's chest, where the flame of life had been extinguished, and pulled out his sword while pushing away..
And the rough body, which had two upper heavenly thrones, turned into a mummy as if all its moisture had been sucked out, and then broke into small pieces..
“Phew……”
Ju Seo-cheon sighs as if he has been resting for a while..
And as if awakening the silence of the battlefield, he raised his black crown high above his head..
“Listen! Murim people!”
Joo Seocheon's voice rang loudly..
I wonder if the application of internal energy has increased as we have reached a higher level, but it is not that big, but everyone heard it..
“The heinous leader of the Blood Cult, the Sangcheon Ten Left Blood Demon, died at the hands of Geomseon Woo Il-mun Jinin and I, Maehwajeonggeom Joo Seo-cheon! With this black crown! The broken sound field is the evidence.!”
Joo Seocheon lifted up the remnants of the sound field and assembled them in the air as if he were looking at them..
Of course, it was just a rough patching, not a restoration..
“Is it true?……?”
“It is said that the blood demon was attacked by Ju Seo-cheon Daehyeop.?”
The Murim Alliance reacted in bewilderment to the news of victory..
There was doubt on his face..
Because he was such a big man, his death was not easy to accept..
“It's true!”
The quick-witted Unhak shouted as if confirming..
“The proof is that no blood demons appear! The Great Demon Head of the Blood Cult is dead.!”
Iljigwang also helped..
Those from the political faction who were lucky enough to survive and witness the bloody battle between Hyeolma and Joo Seocheon also opened their mouths one by one to testify..
Still, there was still no response, so the moment I was about to shout again, a roar that shook the heavens broke out..
“Wow!”
The shout rose from the ground and pierced the sky..
It was so large that even the experts were startled and trembled..
The political faction members embraced each other and showed joy as if they had won..
“You are a demon-crazed cultist who has abandoned the laws of heaven, indulged in an evil religion, and is causing chaos in the central plains.!”
Zhuge Suran also raised his voice and stretched out his hand..
A fan was held between slender fingers..
“It is not too late, surrender now! Otherwise, Moorim's agreement will be……”
“under? What is he saying now!”
Among the forces of the blood religion, Ma Du stopped Zhuge Shuran from speaking..
“blood ghost.”
Haksong's face hardened..
“This stupid Taoist bastard, he ran away in the middle of a fight, and then he started talking nonsense.!”
“Blood ancestor, calmly withdraw your hands and kneel. At least I'll kill you without pain.”
“gibberish!”
“The blood cult leader is dead.!”
”Kyahahaha! I'm afraid that someone might be a Taoist, so I'm just talking like an asshole..”
The Blood Demon threw back his head and burst into laughter..
“What does it matter whether the blood cult leader dies or not??
That's not really important to me.!”
Paste.
Blood formed on the tip of my finger and then hardened..
It's early.
”Coughing!”
The enemy's reaction did not stop there..
Immediately after the blood demon's death, it seemed like the jiangshi had stopped moving for a while, but soon they started rampaging again..
No, now the blood demon has become more violent than when he was alive..
“Hahaha!”
“die, die!”
The other blood cultists also turned around and attacked those around them. There were even allies among them..
“uh? Arms, where are my arms??”
“fool! That jiangshi just ate your arm.!”
“is it? Hehehe!”
A storm of war rages again.
It was a wind full of madness that reached the end..
“How did this happen? Now that the magician, the Blood Demon, is dead, shouldn’t the Jiangshi also stop??”
Iljigwang frowned and asked.
“No, it's the opposite..”
Haksong shook his head..
“Once it becomes a jiangshi and starts moving, it won't stop unless you destroy it. Especially now that the magician in charge of the government has died, it will become even more rampant..”
“All you have to do is get rid of it..”
Honggo came forward and said.
“……Jegal, Soje.”
“Confucius?”
Zhuge Suran was surprised..
It was because Joo Seocheon's voice was weak and cracked like that of a sick person..
When I looked closely, I didn't look very good..
He was really pale like a sick person..
“Our troops' strength... … how much is left?”
“A little over two thousand. I'm already halfway done.
More than that, are you okay??”
“Honestly, it's not that good.”
I faced that blood demon head-on..
It looks like there was some kind of miracle, but there's no way it's okay..
“How many enemies are there??”
“Roughly speaking, about four thousand……”
“I can't believe it. Are you saying we only killed a thousand people??”
Honggo frowned and asked questioningly..
Although the power of the Blood Cult was great, the Murim Alliance was not weak either..
Somehow I fought desperately and killed my enemy..
In particular, blood cultists were easy to defeat as there were many people who charged at them blindly..
“It is a private space. The blood demon continued to save the lions even while fighting me. As many people have died, there are many who have been resurrected as jiangshi..”
Sighs came from all around..
The blood demon was so strong that it made me vomit..
Especially because the spell was a natural disaster..
“The leader of the cult, Blood Demon, is dead, but the morale of the enemies is not going down, but is going even crazier..
The morale of our troops has also increased, but many of them are exhausted. Strategically, we need to retreat..”
“I know. I will do that.
Rather, try to be sparing with your words. I don't like the look on my face very much.”
Zhuge Suran carefully touched Ju Seo-cheon's cheek and said,.
‘Okay. My eyes are closing more and more. The enemy demons are still alive and well. If we keep going like this, our retreat might fail..’
As my vision became blurred, I felt worried and anxious..
‘There's nothing good about it……’
“execution!”
It was then.
At a moment of desperate despair, a voice that made my eyes sparkle penetrated me..
I turned my head and saw a flag belonging to the Murim Alliance fluttering in the wind beyond the hill..
And among them, the one that caught Ju Seo-cheon's attention was the Maehwageomjang of Hwasan Ojangro and the Maehwageomsu, including Naksowol..
“Wijigyeol! Is it Wijigyeol, the plum sword sword?!”
Unhak recognized Wi Ji-gyeol's face and shouted..
“Plum blossom inspection!”
Jeong Pa-in’s complexion brightened significantly..
When the leader of the Maehwa Swordsman, the elite of the volcanoes, appears in the Gangho, swordsmen below him also follow..
That's not the only one.
According to Murim history, at least ten people were involved..
“Support! Help has arrived!”
The Murim warriors saw the top of the hill and cheered..
It wasn't just the plum blossom inspection..
After that, several groups appeared as the Murim League flags were added one by one..
From common samurai to Taoist monks and monks, there were beggars all over the place..
“Help your allies defeat the enemy!”
Wijigyeol's order was given..
”Wow!”
Up to a thousand warriors shouted loudly and ran down the hill to participate in the battlefield..
“Death penalty, are you okay??”
Meanwhile, Naksowol also came down and asked how I was doing..
“Except a little tired.”
Joo Seocheon joked when he saw the happy face..
“Sorry for being late.
Originally, Jang Moon-in should have been with us when we left, but we couldn't contact him well, so it took a while for him to come out..”
“There was nothing I could do since I was training at a closed facility..”
When the later contingent was about to depart, the Hwasan faction was planning to take Maehwageomsu with them..
However, in order to appoint Choi Jeong-ye, the consent of the swordsman in charge was required, and it was difficult to contact him because Wi Ji-gyeol led the swordsmen, including the swordsmen, to the closed training center..
After much thought, Woo Il-moon left a rough explanation of the Battle of Jeonghyeol and left Hwasan..
After that, Wi Ji-gyeol, who somehow came out through the emergency communication system, led the Maehwa Swordsmen and hurriedly followed them..
“Oh, and on the way to Nanju, I met and joined additional warriors gathered by the Murim Alliance..
Here is a letter from Hefei to be delivered..”
Zhuge Shuran received the letter from Luo Xiaoyue and read it..
“Sending additional support in case of an emergency.
Deputy Commander, Zhuge Sang……”
‘Indeed, Cheongunsa!’
Joo Seocheon cried out in joy..
Not only was it not enough to have them join the Plum Blossom Inspector, but they also arranged for them to arrive just in time..
It is not for nothing that I am a soldier sent from heaven..
“Then, Zhuge Xiaozhe, I would like to ask you about the future..
I'd like to help, but I'm a little tired.……”
My eyelids were heavy. I wanted to rest.
“Leave it to me.”
I was relieved to see Zhuge Suran's calm appearance..
“Correct the retreat.”
The number of additional support troops was about 1,000..
When they join the main force, the number is a little over 3,000..
There were still about 4,000 of the blood religion's forces left, but that was not a disadvantage..
There are only crazy people who have reason in their blood, and about 40 of them are strong people who are weak in body and have lost their reason..
“Let's fight back.”
“The waiting sea.”
Iljigwang let out a voice seething with revenge..
Even though the blood demon was not dead, he planned to appease the spirit of the death penalty by taking the blood demon's life instead..
“Wow!!”
“Ouch!”
The armies of three thousand and four thousand clashed..
In the beginning, it seemed like the blood religion was pushing back with a fierce offensive, but that was short-lived..
As the sun set, the forces of the Blood Cult gradually decreased and they were outnumbered by the Murim Alliance..
Instead of being revived on the spot using the Four Sound Fields, the Gangshi that were not as strong fell off first like fallen leaves in the autumn wind..
Later, a few gangsters tried to control it, but it was a problem because there were too many of them, and the power of the gangshi that they were originally dealing with was too much..
I was able to see once again how monstrous the blood demon was..
He was a warrior who reached the stage of image realization, and at the same time, he was the best shaman and spiritualist..
Anyway, when the number of jiangshi in front of me exceeded a thousand and an additional 500 disappeared, the blood cultist came to his senses..
“Wow! Oh my god!”
“Go back to hell, blood ogre..”
The world's greatest expert, Madu blood ancestor, lost his life at the hands of shaman Ijeol Unhak..
“Get off the ground!”
”Wow!”
Most of the Eonma Dae was destroyed..
He lost his life to the joint sword led by Iljigwang..
In addition, most of the cultists died..
The number, which was four thousand, decreased by half and began to fall below two thousand..
“retreat!”
“Shit!”
my blood got cold.
I felt the severity of the situation enough to fall asleep for a moment..
Compared to the blood religion, the military power of the Murim Alliance was relatively intact..
It wasn't that there were no deaths, but at most there were about five hundred..
It was extremely small compared to the Hyekyo religion, which lost almost half of its members..
In the end, I retreated, holding my nerve and losing my blood ties..
“It's better not to follow.”
“Better not to chase..”
Zhuge Sak and Zhuge Suran spoke in different places..
“Why??”
“I know that the faction's charlatans are great, but they are all exhausted, so we shouldn't overdo it..
Besides, it's getting dark, and the nights in the desert are very cold, so you won't be able to withstand the sudden temperature change..”
“Okay. There isn't much left anyway, so what can we do with just the support team??”
“no. They may have forgotten about it because of the heat of the battlefield, but they must be quite tired from running steadily all the way to Nanju..
Also, environmental change is more important than you think..”
Nanzhou is a desert city.
The sand doesn't block your path, but since it's a desert, it's crazy hot during the day and cold at night..
I had to be careful because it consumed more stamina than usual..
In the end, I couldn't say anything to the military's opinion, and just accepted it while licking my lips as if there was nothing I could do..
“If you're worried they'll run away, don't worry..
Because we have prepared a plan..”
“action?”
“……Coincidentally, the wind is also in the northwest direction..”
When the wind blows northwest from Nanju, towards Okmunguan.
So, this was the direction the blood religion retreated to..
At first, I wondered what it was, but after hearing the detailed explanation, I was amazed and slapped my knee..
“It's called a diffuser procured from Tangga, and it's a tool that can spread a specific scent..”
Zhuge Suran opened the lid of the bottle containing the acid, put blood drops in it and shook it to mix easily..
And when I opened the lid in the northwest direction, the fishy smell unique to blood spread widely and flew away in the wind..
“If you leave it like this, it won't be long before it comes back..
In the meantime, we treat the injured and reorganize..”
It was a strategy that took advantage of the habit of blood cultists who get excited not only by the sight of blood but also by the smell of it..
Of course, one or two drops would not be enough, but since so much blood had flowed, it was a method that worked well..
“Heh, that’s… … Really……?”
Meanwhile, the leaders of the Murim Alliance, who have gathered to reorganize, are shocked when they hear about the situation of the war..
Among them, the impact of Maehwageomjang and Wijigyeol of the Hwasan faction was especially great..
“Jang Moon-in……”
I couldn't believe it... … Geomseon, Woo Il-moon’s death.
The shock was even greater because it was not a matter of reaching the end of the world with all my life, but of meeting the end of a blood demon..
If he hadn't first heard that his enemy, the blood demon, had died, he would have blushed and said he would seek revenge..
“What happened to Seocheon??”
“I'm a little tired, but I'm fine. don't worry.”
As he was a great contributor to the Great War, he was treated extremely well..
In addition, three of the doctors sent from Hwain Clinic attended to Joo Seo-cheon and treated him, but it is said that Joo Seo-cheon woke up in the middle and said that he was fine and sent the doctors out as if kicking them out..
“Maehwa Jeonggeom really did a great job..”
Unhak praised me until my saliva dried up..
“I agree.”
Iljikwang also agreed..
“The special team that risked their lives to bring out the Blood Demon was amazing, but we wouldn't have won without them..”
“……Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?.”
Su-gyeong of the anti-midwifery school, who had kept her mouth shut until now, muttered as if she was dissatisfied..
“It may be presumptuous, but weren't there some high-ranking figures in the political faction who were there? Even if it weren't for him, he would have been able to take the blood demon's life. Also, at that time, the blood demon was injured by the swordsman.……”
“That's not it.”
Unhak looked at Su-kyung with a straight face and cut off Su-kyung’s sentence..
“If you were there, those words wouldn't have come out. The moment I saw the blood demon, I felt with my body why he was ranked first among the ten seats in the heavens..”
The moment I stood in front of the Blood Demon, following Zhuge Suran, who hurriedly ran to ask for help, my whole body froze and I could not move..
I tried my best to fight, but the question arose whether I could win..
However, Joo Seo-cheon, who was thought to be dead, miraculously woke up and ended the blood demon's life as if to avenge Woo Il-mun..
“……”
Su- kyung was offended because she felt like Un-hak was scolding her, but she could not express any disagreement and kept her mouth shut..
Although I didn't like Joo Seo-cheon, I didn't know about his performance, so I stayed quiet..
“Thank you for your hard work..
Leave the vigil to me tonight and take a rest..”
Everyone didn't say anything, but they all looked tired..
You've been on the battlefield all day, so it's even weirder if you're not tired..
The last reinforcements to arrive were to remain on watch and guard, and Wi Ji-gyeol was in charge..
Actually, I had a lot to ask and talk about..
A more detailed account of the confrontation between Geom Seon and Blood Demon was provided, and Joo Seo-cheon, who was unharmed even after being hit by a bloody spear sword, was a representative example..
There were many other things I was curious about, but it was late and the wind had started to blow to match the lower temperature, so I had no choice but to postpone it to another opportunity..
