Chapter 1: Unidentified)

Twenty and two people. This was the number of people in Joo Seo-cheon’s group..

There were 11 people in the Sacheondang family, including Danghye, and the one who led them was, of course, Dokbong Danghye..

Danghye was the strongest in martial arts not only among Sanbun but also among the martial artists from Sichuan Dangga here..

The Geumui Sword Gate consisted of ten people, including Cho-ryeon. On the surface, the leader of the ten was Cho-ryeon, but in reality, the leader was Ju Seo-cheon..

“Leader. I have something to show you..”

Choryun points to one side with the tip of her chin..

I followed the direction and saw a box about three feet long..

When I went closer and opened the box to check for something, I tilted my head at the unexpected object..

“This……?”

“I took care of it when I said I was going to the Seven Swords War..”

Choryun puffed out her chest and smiled proudly..

“I wonder what you're whispering about like that.”

Danghye, who was checking her memorization, muttered as if asking a question..

“It's not for you to use anyway, and you'll find out on your own when you look at it in six days, so don't worry..”

Joo Seocheon smiled meaningfully and closed the box..

“Training is?”

“Can you even call it training? But don't worry, I learned how to use it well from that kid..”

“good. Then get ready to surprise Moorim with this. You are the vanguard, you will make a name for yourself.”

“It's obvious that my brother and younger siblings are going to be sick to their stomachs..”

Brother and younger brothers mean stormtroopers..

Chu Lian's blood brothers and sisters died at an early age..

“By the way, what happened to the captain? He heard that as soon as he got here he had an accident with that girl over there..”

Currently, the Murim Alliance is in turmoil with the appearance of Dokbong and Bongchu..

It was natural for it to attract attention due to the reputation of Oryongsambong, but there were some problems with other late indices..

“Dokbong said something to Sotaesan, Iljigeom, and Geomhwa.?”

“Because it doesn't make sense. Those three people who were near me told me to be careful not to get my pants wet..”

“Huh, it's not poisonous for nothing. Not only does it have poison in its martial arts, but it also contains poison in its tongue..”

“Aren’t you famous for your harsh words? However, the exception was that it did not discriminate between origins. I thought it was just like that for underlings like us..”

“haha! It feels refreshing! I didn't like all the pretentiousness they showed.!”

“The Safa guys and the Mado guys called us hypocrites and hypocrites, but didn't we prove that we weren't?!”

The majority responded that it was refreshing..

But it wasn't all positive aspects..

There was also criticism.

“It's definitely the right thing to do, but maybe it's too much??”

“Dokbong should have used his words more politely. No matter how wrong the other person is, if you say something that ignores etiquette, isn't it no different from safa??”

“cancer. If you're a political faction, you always have to be careful about your actions and remarks. How can I be embarrassed if I don't keep it?.”

“Tsk tsk, as expected, poison and other things!”

“you. Be careful. Have you forgotten what happens when the Four Heavenly Tang Family harbors a grudge??”

The political faction has always placed particular importance on etiquette and morality..

From that point of view, Dokbong’s actions were unacceptable..

“What's wrong with promoting friendship between late-stage index members? I'm sure it's not like he ignored the Five Evil Sword Sect just because he's from the Five Great Powers.?”

The right faction, Murim, has long continued its system through the nine factions and the five generations..

So, naturally, other factions had no choice but to be dissatisfied..

Although most of them were not at the level of the Great Moon faction, they were strong enough to compare to them..

The representative groups were the Taishan school, the Songshan school, and the Hangshan school..

“It's okay because I wasn't even mentioned at all..”

Because Danghye was so controversial, all attention was focused on it..

Bongchu's name appeared for a moment and then dropped, and the gaze naturally turned to Danghye..

The Sega warriors looked a little displeased, but that was all..

I didn't really get angry out loud..

Six days until the Seven Swords War.

As the day was getting late and everyone was wrapping up their day, Danghye became concerned and went to visit..

“What happened?”

Danghye asks as she looks up at the dim moonlight..

The gaze is still directed towards the sky..

Joo Seocheon, standing behind her, followed her gaze and looked up at the moon, scratched the back of his head and opened his mouth..

“rumor.”

No additional words added.

“If you thought that you would make a foolish mistake on the day of war because you were worried about that, you were overjudging it..”

Danghye is smart..

They have the wisdom to guess and understand situations without having to say anything..

It seemed like he was saying, “It’s okay because I’m used to it.”.

The next words did not continue.

That was it..

That's all.

* * *

The dark curtain covering the world is lifted.

The sun appears little by little over the eastern ridge and illuminates the world..

Five days until the Seven Swords War.

As it is early in the morning, everyone is busy preparing something from dawn..

Joo Seocheon was busy for a slightly different reason than others..

‘First, we need to find the ganja and kill them..’

Ganja and satire permeate all of the seven great forces gathered here..

They are the ones who have been prolonging the war since five days by using all kinds of means and methods..

Their extermination had to be given zero priority..

Since it was impossible to assassinate in broad daylight, I waited for the sun to set..

I was able to pass the time quickly by planning a strategy for how to fight on the day of war with Tang Hye and Cho Ryeon..

There were people who came to see Tang-hye's beauty from time to time, but because they knew what had happened before, they just watched from a distance and did not approach..

Time passed quickly, dusk passed and it was late at night..

However, it is not completely dark..

As it was just before war, there was strict security and lights..

Joo Seocheon woke up alone from his bed on the way..

There was no expert who could capture that movement..

‘I never thought I would do something like this in my life.’

He was wearing a mask that covered all but his eyes, and was dressed in black that blended into the night..

It looked suspicious at first glance..

I secretly escaped while keeping the sound as low as possible..

Unless Sangmyeongjin was on guard, there was no way he would have been caught..

From the Murim Alliance camp to the south, outside of Sa-ri.

People in black gathered among the beautiful trees..

All of them were members of the Amcheonhoe who infiltrated the Murim League..

They didn't say anything, but as soon as the number of people reached 20, they opened their mouths..

“What's going on?”

The tall man in black spoke first..

“It would have been two days before we met..”

Another person in black muttered in confusion..

“who called?”

Before nightfall, codes that only Amcheonhoe could recognize were engraved in various places..

It looked like a meaningless scratch, but it was a code that only Amcheonhoe could recognize..

“……”

When no one answered, the atmosphere suddenly changed..

The people in black, who had been fine until just a moment ago, started to look at each other and were embarrassed..

The password that guided us to this place is definitely from Amcheonhoe..

That too is a secret that has been classified as a special class until now..

Since there were no collaborators hired with money, such as from outside or satire, I was literally in the dark..

The moment someone was about to ask again, a voice was heard from beyond the bushes..

“i called.”

“everyone!”

sreung!

The men in black drew their swords like lightning..

Sweat was beading inside the mask..

“why?”

“There can't be one more person!”

Twenty Ganja who infiltrated the Murim League.

nothing more and nothing less.

The number should remain unchanged.

The brain of Amcheonhoe, Cheongi is a more thorough person than anyone else..

Never allow exceptional circumstances.

Even if there is, most orders are given in preparation for it..

There has never been a situation like this before..

“Don't be so hostile. I am a ganja who has infiltrated Sado Heaven. I came here to talk with you for a reason..”

The twenty-first man in black spoke in a calm voice..

“I came from Sadocheon.?”

“okay.”

The people in black looked at each other and looked at each other, but when they sensed that there was no one around, they relaxed their guard slightly..

They exchanged glances for a while, and then someone seemed to have decided on something and asked a question..

“How many criminals have infiltrated Sado Heaven??”

“……score”

pababat!

The twenty-first man in black was suddenly surrounded..

“What are you doing??”

“Except for a few people, we do not know the number of people who have infiltrated Sado Heaven or the Demonic Cult. You should have asked why you asked that question, not the answer. ”

“In order to prevent information from being leaked in case of an unexpected situation, did they make it so that members of different affiliations did not know each other?.”

The man in black shrugged his shoulders as if Joo Seocheon had been attacked..

“What on earth are you?.”

“How do you know the meeting password??”

There are more than one password for Amcheonhoe..

The passwords used by each other are also separate..

It wasn't for nothing that he could hide his identity for decades..

Confidentiality was kept so secretly..

“Hey, if it were you, would you answer obediently??”

Joo Seocheon laughed and drew his sword..

“No matter what happens, they must be captured alive..”

“I don't mind cutting off a limb or two..”

People in black talked as they narrowed the distance..

“Anyway, these bastards of Amcheonhoe have no gaps, no gaps. If you live like that, won’t you get tired??”

As I looked around and asked, I could hear the sound of breathing stopping here and there..

Everyone looked shocked..

“I even know the name of this meeting.?”

“Forget the disruption mission. Prioritize his capture, not Ganja's.!”

Taat!

Twenty people rushed at Joo Seocheon at the same time..

We gave our all from the beginning..

The person in front of me was alone, and I didn't care what the state was..

There was no pride or arrogance..

‘toxic bastards!’

don't let down your guard.

not conceited.

These two things alone were creepy enough and couldn't be underestimated..

I wasn't being careful for no reason..

wedge!

Swords flew in all directions, cutting through the wind..

Looking at each person's sword energy, it was clear that their strength was correct..

However, it was not killed to capture them alive..

It is not intended for fatal injuries such as the neck, heart, or lungs..

Joo Seocheon spun with all his might using his left foot as the axis..

Draw a circle with the sword in your hand.

Chaechaejang!

Before the sword could reach me, I was caught in the wind and bounced upwards..

The owners holding the sword were also pushed back along with the sword..

‘It's all climax?’

Joo Seocheon clicked his tongue inwardly..

A considerable amount of effort was put into the counterattack just now..

If it's not at least the peak, you should be pushed out, not pushed out..

However, what was more surprising than Ju Seocheon was Amcheonhoe..

They all could not believe what was happening before their eyes..

‘Unbelievable!’

They were trained to remain calm in all situations, but now even they were wide-eyed and amazed..

Twelve masters at their peak attacked simultaneously..

No matter how much it didn't kill us, we used all our power..

Even a supreme expert cannot block attacks like this, but Joo Seo-cheon easily managed to block them just now..

Even if you see it with your own eyes, your reason cannot accept it..

“Go away!”

Someone shouted, and all twenty people took a step back..

“where!”

Joo Seocheon moved according to the voice, as if it were no problem..

The man in black in the southwest saw this and hurriedly tried to adjust his posture, but his sword had already pierced his forehead with the wind, creating a large hole..

“What……”

conflict!

Just as I was about to panic, someone shouted loudly as if to come to my senses..

Taoism is a pure voice unique to Muhak..

Only then did the members of the Amcheonhoe postpone their surprise and focus on the current situation..

Efforts had to be made to capture him alive..

pababat!

As the people in black regain their composure, the tax falls like a storm..

There is no space left and it is almost ready to kill..

Chaechaejang!

Even a top expert wouldn't be able to last a few seconds in a storm like this, but unfortunately, the opponent is Hwagyeong..

Ju Seo-cheon didn't care about the storm and attacked it all with his sword as if he had expected it..

As the metal collided, sparks flew and a friction sound was emitted..

In the darkness where the moonlight was obscured by clouds, the sword light shone faintly, illuminating the surroundings..

Amcheonhoe did its best from beginning to end..

In line with the purpose of capture, the attack was conducted without the use of bloodletting..

However, subduing is actually more difficult than killing..

Even though the opponent was a more expert person, doing it this way cost a lot of strength and stamina..

Before long, some people's breathing became disordered, and the disorder soon became a gap..

Although that moment was only a moment, Joo Seo-cheon did not miss the opportunity and grabbed it like a ghost and dug in..

“Wow!”

The sword pierces my lungs..

My body became stiff as I breathed..

whistling!

As the sword entered the body, someone next to me said, "This is the time," and swung the sword vertically with all his might, aiming for the shoulder..

Ju Seo-cheon saw this and instead of pulling out his sword, he drew a diagonal line toward the top right..

In response, the sword cut the bone along with the flesh like tofu, striking away the sword of the man in black..

“what…”

The man in black who tried to cut off his arm across the shoulder was shocked..

Cutting flesh and bone requires more force, and the more friction there is, the slower the speed becomes..

So it shouldn't be as fast as a sword swinging outside..

However, ignoring that, the expert at his peak easily struck down the sword with all his might, which was jaw-dropping..

Joo Seocheon stretched out his left hand and grabbed the surprised man in black by the neck..

Ugh!

Crackling.

The cervical vertebrae could not withstand the force of the grip and broke..

The light in the eyes that was about to be stained with fear turned to darkness..

The body of the man in black, held in his hand, was limp like a mollusk..

pot!

Meanwhile, an attack comes in..

The sword's stem aimed at Ju Seo-cheon's back, leaving a long trail like the tail of a shooting star..

Joo Seocheon turned his body around and blocked the black man in his hand using a shield..

The remaining number is seventeen.

It's still a lot, but it's not a burden..

I had used up a lot of my energy because I had used all my power just a moment ago..

Although his facial expression was not visible due to his mask, his tired appearance was clearly visible..

Joo Seocheon's sword disappeared and then reappeared..

The man in black who stabbed the man in black who was using it as a shield had his head cut off..

“now sixteen.”

Four people were killed in an instant.

Sixteen people did not approach Ju Seo-cheon, but retreated while maintaining the siege..

“You… … Heck, anyone.”

Amcheonhoe groaned..

“Who the hell are you guys?.”

Joo Seocheon muttered as if imitating.

Then he raised his sword, pointed ahead, and continued speaking..

“I'm sure you guys have heard this dozens or hundreds of times..”

The Amcheonhoe was completely hidden in the dark until it made its full appearance ten years later..

Until then, everyone who had encountered them asked.

What force was hiding this much power??

And who the hell are they??

To that question, Amcheonhoe answered as follows:.

“no need to know.”

Joo Seocheon's body disappeared..

It's not really gone..

The movement was so fast that it seemed like it had disappeared..

“Wow!”

The person who asked the question collapsed with blood spraying out..

fifteen people left.

‘indeed.’

Through this, Ju Seo-cheon was able to be sure that among the Ganja, there was no one who could be called the leader..

Earlier, we first killed those who spoke as if they were giving orders or were suspected of being representatives, but there was no movement..

“change the way.”

The voice was sharp with caution..

“From now on, it doesn't matter if it kills you, so attack with all your might..”

“If we leave it like this, we won't be able to overcome it, so kill it first and then examine the body..”

“understanding.”

It seemed like they were all equal in rank, and they seemed to be acting according to orders given separately..

As soon as the guessing ends, 15 people attack at once..

Unlike before, it was so lifelike that the downy hair stood on end..

“come!”

Joo Seo-cheon responded with the twenty-four plum sword technique..

Starting with Maehwanobang, a one-herb eater, to Maehwahyeowoo, an eight-herbivore eater, it flowed like a stream, showing off a splendid display of sword grass..

The three enemies in front were caught in the sword and died without a scream while their blood was sprayed..

“evil! Volcano Sword! That's also the twenty-four plum sword method.!”

As soon as the number turned from fifteen to twelve, people who recognized Ju Seo-cheon's sword appeared one after another here and there..

Since they were all affiliated with political factions and had reached their peak, it was not strange to find out about the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword Techniques..

“Plum blossom inspection!”

Since there are no wrinkles in the only exposed eye area, it is clear that the person is young..

According to him, he is not the second great disciple of Hwasan, but the third great disciple..

I was even able to find out that he was an active-duty plum sword inspector..

“There are so many different types of people out there.?”

The corners of Joo Seocheon’s mouth were deeply incised..

Even the criminals would have seen him grinning under the mask..

“Cloud Dragon Thirteen Swords of Kunlun).”

Some people in black trembled..

“Taishan's falling nine-nine sword method, Songshan's nine-gok sword method, and Hangshan's one-song sword method.)!”

Ju Seo-cheon knew well not only the martial arts of Hwasan, but also the magic arts of the Jeong faction, Sa faction, and even the Madoise era..

Even if he survived due to fortune-telling and luck, the martial arts he actually saw was considerable because he traveled to so many battlefields..

“How can Maehwageomsu come out on his own??”

they just couldn't understand.

It wasn't a way to waste time, it was a pure question..

Maehwageomsu, comprised of twenty-four people, never acts alone..

Always acted above and beyond this person..

“No, is it really a plum sword??”

As the Maehwageomsu are the elites of the volcano, their every move is monitored..

If it were another disciple of the Hwasan Sect, there was no way the Amcheonhoe would have missed it if Maehwageomsu had come out of Hwasan..

“Plum blossom sword……”

Joo Seocheon gave strength to the sword in his hand..

“Is that the conclusion you reached??”

The bet flows through the energy vein and heads towards the sword..

The bet wasn't bluish as usual.

gulp.

someone swallowed.

Their faces all tensed with tension..

“really?”

nettle!

The moment the sound stretched out, the wind emitted from the swung sword turned into a wave and hit the surroundings..

Because it happened so quickly, the people in black were unable to avoid it and were only busy swinging their swords to block..

“Huh.”

The man in black at the front sighed..

Because of the mask, only the area around the eyes was exposed, but the skin had turned white..

“Cough!”

As many as four of the people in black knelt in place, coughing up blood..

Their complexions turned dark, and one of them began bleeding dark red from his eyes..

Fifteen people were reduced to twelve by the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword Technique, and four people were reduced to eight by the sword wind just now..

“It's poison……?”

I was just trying to block the sword storm..

But that wasn't it.

What I thought was a strong wind turned out to be a poisonous wind..

It's different from being careless..

It's not even about conceit.

He was a sword master who eliminated eight in the blink of an eye..

I couldn't even imagine using poison..

It was natural to think it was pure sword wind..

If you were a master of solo attack, you would have prepared in advance..

None of these people take poison lightly..

Something unexpected happened that was completely out of common sense..

“why……”

How many times do they ask boring questions?.

“What on earth are you doing?……?”

Like a sword, the poisonous sword has stages..

Originally, it was usually used by secretly feeding it to someone, spraying it in powder form, or applying it to a weapon..

Going further, poisonous energy is treated as an internal attack, and it is handled freely and applied to martial arts such as poisoning..

And a certain level. If you reach the top level of the first class, you can manifest it externally like a storm and poison it..

Also, such a state is by no means common, and it was demonstrated by a sword master who practiced the twenty-four plum sword techniques..

There is no such person in the volcano faction..

No, there is no such figure in the history of the Hwasan Sect..

Nonsensical statement).

Its very existence makes no sense..

No matter how hard I tried to understand, my mind couldn't keep up..

“I know that feeling better than anyone else.”

When Amcheonhoeju showed his divine status through Jungdomangong.

I remember well what Moorim’s reaction was at that time..

It probably wasn't much different from the people in black in front of me..

Joo Seocheon laughs and injects energy into his sword..

Unlike before, it was a pure, bluish color..

Partschut.

Qi that is tangled like a skein of thread gathers in one place..

What was once undulating like water gradually became solid and took shape..

“I am everyone?”

crackle crackle!

The jaws hit together and made a sound..

My whole body was shaking like an aspen tree..

The will to fight falls to the abyss.

“Give up capturing and killing.”

Thump thump thump.

My heart was racing like an angry bull..

Even if I try to return it properly, for some reason it doesn't come back..

“It doesn't matter who it is.”

The composure I had learned was of no use..

The phenomenon happening before my eyes was despair itself, defying common sense..

“We need to run away from here immediately and report to the council..”

gulp.

“There's a monster I don't know who it is.”

fault!

As soon as he finished speaking, eight people ran in different directions..

Needless to say, the speed is power.

“Anyone?”

I throw my body until my feet are on fire and my Yongcheonhyeol is about to explode due to excessive injection of energy..

“I am.”

Joo Seocheon bends his knees..

The energy that surged from the Danjeon went through the energy cycle and gave strength to the body..

“volcanic……”

The thigh muscle contracted once and then relaxed, and the moment it contracted again, the place I was stepping on exploded with a loud noise..

“It's Ju Seocheon.”

There was no way that the master of fireworks, and the owner of monstrous internal strength, could shake off the light attack with all his might..

Suddenly!

When I felt something coming from behind, my vision began to spin and I witnessed a body falling to the ground with its throat cut..

So did the other seven people..

The act of running away in a different direction causes one person to chase after the other, increasing the distance and time between them..

“Ouch!”

But it was meaningless as I was caught up in the blink of an eye and beaten without even a proper counterattack..

“Ugh!”

On the contrary, it was a mistake to focus solely on escape..

I don't know if there was even a little bit of resistance..

However, because he ran away without looking back, he was unable to avoid Geomgang and was killed by a single blow..

In the end, the six people had to be turned into cold corpses without even getting halfway to the Murim Alliance camp..

“Heheook……”

The Shinigami's sword has finally come down..

Instead, the kanji that said the last words was dangling from his hand..

The last remaining Ganja smiled faintly as he looked down at Zhou Seocheon with eyes stained with pain..

“me… … Even if you torture me... … What comes out is… … None……”

Wow!

“I know.”
