Chapter 6
And the next day.
Perhaps it was thanks to the dispatch of doctors from Hwain Clinic that the treatment of the injured person was completed safely..
However, those in critical condition died despite their efforts..
After that, Nanju fights against the blood cultists who attacked again before he could even clean up all the piled up bodies..
Reorganization and treatment were completed successfully, but not long after resting, they attacked and fought frantically..
The effect of diffuse acid was stronger than expected..
There were often attacks during the night, so there were cases where I stayed up all night with my eyes open..
After struggling for about three days and nights, the first and final invasion finally came to an end..
They succeeded in capturing over 100 of the blood cultists and annihilating the rest..
The Murim League achieved victory with about 700 dead and 300 injured..
“Finally, is it over?.”
Joo Seocheon was relieved to hear the shouts outside the barracks..
‘My body is pretty good at this level..’
In fact, all my fatigue and injuries went away two days ago..
My body has improved so much that it feels like flying..
However, even after recovering, he did not participate in the battlefield..
‘Because I don’t know if everything is really better..’
Countless spear swords flew out like skewers and stuck in my body..
Even if Hwata came back alive, it was a fatal wound that could not be done, so there was no harm in being careful..
Above all, I needed time to organize the new knowledge I gained while ascending to the prefecture, so I spent some time eating fortune-telling breakfast..
‘Visualization, regression.’
It was a new and special power.
There is nothing better than this to express your whole life..
I wouldn't know if it was a past life, but this life couldn't exist if it weren't for regression..
Even if you get older, it's the same.
Therefore, I succeeded in establishing an image..
No matter what kind of life you live, its origin is in return..
‘The ability is to recover, to return.’
At first glance, it looks like complete regeneration, which is the third effect of Hwangol Transformation, but it is completely different. It was more absurd.
‘Go back to before you were injured.’
Exactly, a kind of regression.
It was the ability to turn back time in the body..
Ignoring the law solely through human will was truly absurd, even to myself..
However, as the ability is an ability, it comes with limitations and various side effects..
The scope is flesh, blood, bones, or damaged internal organs..
And that’s only in my body..
‘Anything else is impossible.’
The complete regeneration of the white bone metamorphosis is closer to destroying the existing thing and making a new one and reconstructing it..
However, regression literally means returning, returning to the state before the injury..
‘And it's not something you can use indefinitely..
It's about once a day, and right after you use it, your stamina and energy are extremely drained..’
As soon as the fight was over, I couldn't overcome the extreme fatigue, so I closed my eyes and went to sleep..
I tried to hold on, but it was too much..
No matter how many people I could trust, losing my mind in the middle of the battlefield was not normal..
‘I haven't tried it, but it doesn't work if you die instantly..’
It is impossible to cut off the head or destroy the heart or brain..
There was also a principle behind the power to ignore the law..
It's about turning back time in your body, so it's meaningless if you're not attached to it..
For example, if the head turns, there is no body and you die, and if the body turns, there is no head and you die..
‘and… … Well, okay. Let's check this later.’
A storm, no, a bloody wind blew in the Jungwon martial arts world..
From the beginning of the bloody war to its entire course, each and every detail of the war spread throughout the central plains..
Since invasions by blood religions are not common, it was natural that they attracted attention..
Jeon Moorim was watching..
And soon after, news that shocked Moorim struck..
“Geomseon and Hyeolma die?”
“her! Did you make a Donggui portrait??”
I couldn't shut my mouth.
Wherever I went, that was the only story..
It was such shocking news.
Those who were the pinnacle of martial arts, regardless of whether they were Jeongsama or Sama, are dead..
It was even weirder if I wasn't surprised..
It was the Ten Chairs of the Supreme Heaven, no, it was now the Eight Chairs of the Supreme Heaven..
Especially in the case of volcanic waves, the impact was immeasurable..
I was more than surprised but confused..
The head of the clan, Jang Mun-in, met a completely unexpected and sudden death..
“What about volcanic waves??”
“What do you think? It's not like a lightning strike, but the unexpected results will still cause chaos..”
“Well, isn't Geomseon one of the greatest masters of all time? It must have been unexpected.”
”Tsk tsk tsk. Big things lie ahead. Isn't Jeong Hwi-ryeon, the main character, a child who hasn't even reached her terms yet?.
When you have to watch and listen and learn from the teacher for a long time……”
“Doesn't Jashingong, which is handed down in one person to a long-time scholar in Hwasan, desperately need the help of a teacher??”
“That's right. Maybe the volcano faction, which is at its peak, will fall in the near future.……”
If you had to choose the most influential faction in the current martial arts world, nine out of ten would say the Hwasan faction..
Woo Il-moon is also Woo Il-moon, but it was thanks to producing Joo Seo-cheon, the greatest genius and hero of all time and history..
He easily surpassed the late-stage index and ranked among the top 100 great masters in the world, and he also saved the common people through narrow-mindedness..
In one day, he ended the Seven Swords War, which could have been prolonged if he made a mistake, returned the Prajna God to the Shaolin Temple, and subdued the Green Forest Island to put an end to the looting of the eighteen temples..
Thanks to this, the reputation of the Hwasan Sect was enhanced and the future seemed bright, but that was only for a short time..
An unprecedented situation occurred in which the Jang Mun-in lost the Jang Mun-in even before he was qualified to do so..
‘I gained something, but I also lost a lot..’
Joo Seocheon’s worries also deepened..
‘As history changes, Moorim's future becomes uncertain, and it cannot be avoided even if it is a volcanic wave. If it's decided, it's a determined future... … The situation is worse than before.’
In the era of war, it was common for a hero who led to victory the day before to be found dead the next day..
In less than 50 years, it was not uncommon to see a Jang Mun-in being killed in action..
This situation could not be avoided even by volcanic waves, and due to the nature of the self-made work, a situation even occurred where the old rules were passed down..
However, in any case, there was no case where Jang Mun-jae died before he turned twenty..
‘The headaches have increased.’
Meanwhile, other news also spread widely..
“It is said that the reason Yuya Astronomical Ju and Hyo Hyo-feng went wild before was not because he was crazy, but because he was skiing at the time..”
“Did you? Well, it doesn't really matter now..
More than that, I heard that the common demon sword died.……”
“Ohryongsambong, Jongnam’s human dragon, Hodeokchang, is dead..
He was a talented person who would lead Moorim, but it's really unfortunate..”
“Oh my, oh my! Wanggu! He said he was happy to become a Murim warrior, but what was the use of it all when he died?!”
“It is said that the people of Nanju are going crazy over the scent of blood.……”
War is a tragedy and destruction.
Regardless of whether you are a winner or a loser, the sadness cannot be erased..
Even if you're the winner, you can't be happy if someone close to you dies..
For the parties involved, it was sometimes worse than defeat..
I couldn't be happier as the victims came from mobilized warriors belonging to the Murim League, members of the Gupa Ilbang, the Five Generations, and small and medium-sized sects..
And even then, I still couldn't feel at ease..
“Oh, by the way, it's not like there's no good news..”
“what is there?”
“It seems like volcanic waves are still strong against bad luck..
How much do you know about the life and death of swordsmen and blood demons??”
“Honestly, I don't know that much..
To the extent that he performed the Donggui portrait.……?”
“Uh huh. this person. You don't know anything.
I also heard that, but in fact, it was said that it was Maehwajeonggeom, not Geomseon, who ended the blood demon's life in the end.!”
“Yes? No, what does that mean??”
At the time, the battlefield was so chaotic that it was difficult to come to one's senses, but I did not miss the game that would determine my fate..
Every time the sword ship and the blood demon clashed, the shock wave was so strong that the warriors nearby stopped fighting..
So, I was able to watch the life and death process in relative detail while protecting myself from accidental internal injuries..
Starting with Joo Seo-cheon's intervention, it was also known how the blood demon died and came back to life and took Woo Il-moon's body..
“Hehehehe, yakki! This guy! How do people come back to life??”
But everyone reacted in disbelief..
Some people held their stomachs and rolled over on the spot, laughing and mocking them for going too far..
It was so absurd that not only the general public but even the martial arts people laughed..
“No matter how many of the Ten Places of Heaven and Ten Places of Heaven exist, how can this be so when humans are not gods?.”
“I must have seen something wrong.”
“Do you think so too? Actually, so do I.
Since he was on the battlefield, he must have lost some blood and was out of his mind from exhaustion. Or maybe I was caught in some kind of magic or witchcraft and saw something wrong.!”
“In short, I thought the blood demon was dead, but wasn't it because it was alive that I was defeated?.”
“They say rumors about Kangho are often exaggerated, and that's exactly right..”
“Hmm, then… … ah! I finally know what happened.
When Maehwajeonggeom saw that Jang Mun-in was murdered in front of his eyes, he attacked his enemy, and since Hyeolma was mortally wounded, he was unable to avoid it.!”
Perhaps it was because the war situation seemed so absurd, but since no one believed it, each person came up with a plausible guess..
As a result, there was a feeling that Joo Seo-cheon's performance had decreased..
People are suspicious creatures who do not believe anything unless they see it in person, and when something happens at a level that cannot be recognized by common sense, they cannot accept it and avoid it..
Joo Seo-cheon also heard rumors about this, but had no intention of raising objections or revealing the truth..
‘this is better.’
Even if I tell you the truth, I don't believe it anyway.
No matter how much you are revered as a hero, it is impossible to defeat the Ten Seas of Heaven in just a few terms..
To win, it means that you have to realize the level of imagination, that is, the level of wisdom and absolute mastery, but who would believe that?.
‘Because it’s not really wrong.’
If you think about it, it wasn't a fatal wound, but it was still true that he was weakened thanks to Woo Il-moon..
‘and… … If possible, I don't want Cheon-gi to know the extent of my inaction..’
No matter how lucky you are, I don't think you've achieved anything within the terms and conditions, but you never know..
Since I am someone who uses my brain to assume the worst moves that others may not think of, there was no harm in being careful..
Meanwhile, Anhui's Hebi.
“Is it still quiet outside Xinjiang??”
“yes. We are keeping a close eye on the openness, but there is no significant movement. It's quiet.”
“Hmm, I wonder if the advance team was the main team.?”
The army of blood religion that passed through Okmungwan in an instant was five thousand..
Since it was an invasion of the central plains, it would not have ended with just an advance team..
However, since there were no remnants to be seen, I took the award..
I watched the entire area to see if this was a decoy and an invasion from somewhere else, but it was still quiet..
“It would be better to watch a little more carefully..”
Given the scale, we could not act hastily..
So, instead of restoring Nanju's power, they were to stand by for a while and be on guard and monitor the surroundings..
A victory is a victory, but there were quite a few losses as we lost quite a few talented people, including Sangcheon Tenjwa Woo Il-mun..
“to issue a warning.”
At the end of the meeting, it was decided that Nanju's forces would not be withdrawn for the time being..
So, in the meantime, I had to take charge of cleanup, such as removing the body, so as not to arouse animosity from the officials and people of Nanju..
Immediately after the standby order was issued, the Nanju branch held a large funeral and returned the body to the bereaved family..
Daemun factions such as Gupailbang and Odaese came directly from the main temple or family, and the rest were accompanied by the Murimmaeng..
However, because there were so many numbers, it seemed like it would take quite some time..
“In times like these, a strong medicine technique is needed.……”
Unhak muttered sadly..
Gangsimul was actually a type of Taoism, not witchcraft..
Its origins go back to when Taoism had just taken root, and originally, like this time, it was to transport those who lost their lives on the battlefield or in foreign lands to their hometowns and bury them..
However, contrary to the intention, as time went by, the intention changed, and after many conflicts of opinion as it was used to insult the dead and as a weapon, it was classified as Saihan witchcraft..
Ultimately, it flowed into demonic and blood cults, and its roots disappeared so that we could never find them..
Anyway, the waiting period for Nanju took a lot longer than expected..
It was strange that it was so quiet, so I investigated the movements of the blood religion, looking into rumors and information coming from outside the central plain..
It was towards the end of summer and just into fall when I learned that the religious community was suffering from a population crisis due to the indiscriminate use of spiritual magic test subjects and magic sacrifices..
The bloody war has ended.
Powok!
It was a shock that shook my insides..
However, Cheongi kept his mouth shut, did not even moan, and did not move from his spot..
No, I couldn't move exactly..
When the body tried to fly backwards, an invisible force blocked the body and held it back..
“A thousand contributions.”
“Please kill me!”
Cheongi hit his forehead on the floor and apologized..
There was more than fear in that voice..
My pupils were trembling as if an earthquake had occurred, and blood was flowing from the corner of my mouth..
I close my eyes tightly.
“I'm starting to have doubts about this body. I wonder if you, Cheonki, are losing on purpose..”
“This is all nonsense! How dare I……!”
Maybe it was because I was so emotional, I couldn't even speak properly..
I just trembled and denied it..
“Then why do you fail so much?.
Aren’t you a genius without a second place in the world?.”
Amcheonhoeju said as if he did not understand..
“This body and this association know what that ability is. Doesn't he have a resourcefulness that is incomparable to that of Zhuge Emperor? He also has the humility to not make mistakes due to arrogance and the attention to detail that does not tolerate even small mistakes..”
Cheonki just lowered his head and waited for the next words..
“It doesn't make sense for a dark brain that has never tolerated anything to suffer such continued failure, so what else can it come up with?.”
“no! never!”
Cheon-ki's complexion was pale, as if he were about to die at any moment..
His hair was scattered, his forehead was torn and bleeding, and he looked terrible..
However, he didn't care at all and apologized as if he was fighting with all his might..
“……Phew.”
Amcheonhoeju let out an irritated sigh..
Cheonki could not say anything and trembled..
I felt a negative feeling from Amcheonhoeju, who had always said that he was holding the world in his hands and had not lost his composure..
I thought that if I continued like this, I might receive a punishment worse than death..
“done. I won't kill you. Even so, what would happen if the association lacks talented people and you die as well?.
It's a shame to remember that I had a little trouble getting the black coffin out of the treasury at your request, but since Geomseon's death has made the future of the Hwasan Sect uncertain, I'll pardon you, taking that into account..”
According to the original prediction, the bloody war should have been prolonged..
The plan was to last at least three years..
There had to have been countless casualties, and the long war was going to cause the people to lose their humanity..
But it ended sooner than expected.
Fortunately, despite the misfortune, the death of Geomseon put the Hwasan faction in crisis, and the Murim League suffered a blow due to the loss of talented people..
This alone is not enough, but it is not the time to separate hot and cold rice..
Without this performance, I would not have survived..
‘Joo Seocheon! Joo Seocheon! Even if you chew it, you won't get any relief!’
Tian Qi lowered his head and seethed with anger..
I couldn't even turn my face red for fear of being misunderstood..
I tried to shut it out somehow, but I couldn't..
Every time I heard that slanderer's name, my blood pressure rose..
So I went to extreme lengths to not listen..
I didn't want to give too much power to the blood religion, but to make sure it was over, I even took out the black coffin and delivered it to them..
He even cautioned and emphasized it several times while delivering the message..
‘Are you saying that you are sabotaging me so much because of some bad relationship I had in my past life?!’
The Battle of Blood and Blood was a little different from the previous plan..
Of these, 30% were Joo Seo-cheon's kills..
There were some who thought it was too much of a reaction, but I didn't think so at all..
Whether directly or indirectly, there are countless things that went wrong because of Joo Seo-cheon..
Just knowing that my life was at stake gave me a headache, made me irritable, and impaired my judgment..
that was enough.
Above all, it was clear that he knew quite a bit about sashimi..
I had to kill it for the sake of the future..
So I tried every possible way to kill it, but it was destroyed..
Couldn't kill it. failed.
“Please forgive this ugly and foolish person with great generosity and thank you for giving me this opportunity..”
Cheongi hit his head on the floor again to say thank you, and then his eyes sparkled. Those eyes burned coldly.
“Still, it's not without benefits.
Taking advantage of the turmoil of the Great Blood War, the number of spies in Tianquan City increased, and in particular, Tianqiu's radius of action and authority increased, and the quality of information also improved..”
Although he has experienced a series of failures recently, his skills are truly outstanding..
Even though a plan that was put into a lot of effort, like a battle of bloodshed, failed, they do not panic and try to calmly take advantage as much as possible..
Even if the move I prepared is twisted or broken, I desperately try to make up for the failure by coming up with another move..
What was even more amazing was that it wasn't just a ploy to get away somehow..
“I won't ask you to trust me.
But please believe this hate and anger.”
