Chapter 9

“Uh, what should I do??”

The brain and heart were pierced..

Although the elders of Suljinmun remained, they did not react properly to the shock of losing Munju..

Above all, Joo Seocheon’s inaction was so overwhelming..

Everyone stepped back with a look of horror on their faces..

Joo Seo-cheon thought he might do something with his skill this time, so he deliberately shot out a sword wind as if to show off and cut down the enemies..

“Oh, it's impossible!”

“How to beat this?”

Clearly, the numbers were still superior, but the morale of the opponent was overwhelmingly high..

“As long as there is God and Gunggwigeomsu, there is no defeat for us.!”

Makdu smiled brightly and raised his sword..

“Let's go-!”

Meanwhile, the cabinet at headquarters was just as intense..

twenty).

They are not sewers, but elites made up of only experts..

As if that were not enough, it included as many as three Sado Palmunju..

It may be hard to believe, but this number of people were prepared to kill just one person..

There was no doubt about victory.

however……

“Big, big, big!”

Thirteen masters have already left..

I don't know how much time has passed.

But it wasn't short.

Even though a long time passed, there was no winner.

“why……”

Lim Chu-geon made a tired voice..

The face that was confident at first began to become stained with anxiety little by little..

I thought that no matter how much he was a top celestial master, he would not be able to withstand the combined effort of twenty-year-old masters..

But what is this?.

Instead of winning easily, more than half of them lost their lives..

“Do they regret the choices they made??”

Apostle Heaven asks with majestic eyes.

Even though he had undergone joint surgery, his body was still intact without a single wound..

The Sangcheonsipjwa, a seat reserved for only ten people in the central world, or Gangho martial arts world..

He proved his identity as if it was not a lie..

“regret?”

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan snorted as if it were the same..

Despite all the combined attacks, I was not at all intimidated by the sight of the enemy without even a single wound..

“Far from regretting it, I am so proud of my past self that I want to spread the word around the neighborhood, Cheonju..”

“Maybe it's because he's far away, but he's full of blood. bantling.”

Is this really because I am young??

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan has stepped forward..

He put his energy into his sword and boasted that he was alive and well..

‘Indeed, internal inspection.’

‘Even within the realm of paedo provision, it’s that much.……’

Paedo provision is not invincible or absolute..

As long as it is unofficial and made by people, it has weaknesses..

First of all, the scope is.

Even if you control a certain area, you have to be within the range to get caught..

The other one is internal energy, and this is especially important..

Regardless of whether it is accumulated through elixirs or fortune-telling, if the total amount of internal energy is large or its purity is high, even the realm is useless..

However, these conditions are also difficult.

It wasn't just a lot of strength, it had to be a lot..

In particular, isn't the Apostle Heavenly Lord an absolute master of the Ten Chairs of Heaven?.

It wasn't feasible to respond to that all of a sudden..

In reality, it would be difficult unless you were at a level higher than Hwajing, and even if you were at a similar level, you could not completely escape the influence..

There was no need to say anything if it was less than Hwagyeong..

However, Naedangeommunju Cheolmu Myeong-hwan was a little unusual..

The realm itself is a landscape of flowers..

However, the amount of internal power he possessed was so great that it was comparable to that of the Ten Places of Heaven..

The secret lies in the refining techniques of Nae Dangeommun and Nae Gong Shimbeop..

The production of nutrition is at a high level comparable to that of shamans or Shaolin, and the mind method is specialized in this area..

For example, if an ordinary warrior takes Naedan, he or she will only succeed in absorbing about seven out of ten energies..

However, if you use the unique mind technique of the inner dagger gate, you will absorb from eight to nine, or even all ten, rather than seven..

“Since they have no skills, the way they try to substitute elixirs is so unsightly that I can't help but laugh. Hehehe.”

“Hahaha!”

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan laughed as if he couldn’t bear it anymore..

“Heaven. The speed of defeating those of us who thought we were being abandoned earlier is getting slower and slower..”

“……ah!”

Im Chogeon let out an exclamation as if he noticed something..

“Indeed, is that so?.”

Gal Hongseok also shook his head as if he understood..

“Yeongmantaeng was just a person too.!”

Damribaek smiled brightly and was confident..

Apostle Heaven is tired.

It was just as Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan said..

The experts who prepared at first were quickly defeated..

But over time, the speed decreased noticeably..

It was incredibly surprising that even with all this preparation, I wasn't able to take him down easily, but that didn't mean I couldn't hit him..

If the Apostle Heavenly Father were truly fine, the heads on his shoulders should have fallen off in an instant..

Well, even if you are one of the Ten Chairs of Heaven, there are limits..

I was tired because I had to deal with as many as twenty elites..

‘grunt.’

Apostle Heaven neither confirmed nor denied, but he muttered inwardly as if he was annoyed..

‘Annoying guys’

It was definitely not wrong..

I was getting tired.

Among the twenty masters, there were only four masters of Hwagyeong..

There was a lot of effort that went into providing paedo..

Dominion over the area of ​​Paedo provision requires operation and control capabilities and a lot of air power as its effectiveness is certain..

The demand becomes even higher as the number of powerful people in the area increases..

That's why I couldn't keep it for very long..

There's less than half an hour left, and the longest it lasts is this much..

But the situation was not completely hopeless..

Except for Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan, everyone looked exhausted..

‘It's over once and for all.’

I couldn't relax.

The more time passed, the more advantageous they became..

Because of the skill difference, you won't lose your life, but you may have to give up one of your limbs..

And I was worried about what would happen with the attack from outside..

‘Is it seven?.’

There were four masters of Hwagyeong, and the other three were at the peak level..

I couldn't look down on it because it was the peak..

As he remained until the end, his skills were outstanding..

It is the highest among the best.

‘I'll take care of the trivial things whose names you don't even know..’

There are only four masters of Hwagyeong..

Although not as much as you, you have a lot of experience depending on your age..

If you were a youngster who had just become a master of flowering, you couldn't help but feel anxious about the presence of three extreme experts in a situation where you had to deal with four highly experienced swordsmen..

“Everyone kneel before me!”

Apostle Heaven let out a majestic cry.

It was louder than the roar of the beast at the Beast Gate..

The only seven remaining Sapa masters were trembling and unable to move..

‘This is the time!’

Apostle Heaven fluttered his beard and kicked the ground..

It moved so fast that only an afterimage remained..

We started our attack from the left side of the front, from Lim Chu-geon's side..

The target was not Lim Chu-geon, but the ultimate master of Yasu-mun..

“bout!”

A short cheer followed immediately by a cheer (一掌))!

The palm is not just the palm.

If you look closely, there was strength in it..

“Hahaha!”

The supreme master of the Beast Gate was unable to counterattack at all and was hit with a palm to the chest, flying backwards and rolling..

“omg!”

Lin Chujian was surprised and put his arms together..

I tried to block the next attack..

However, the goal of Apostle Heaven was not Im Cho Geon..

Passing by him, he approached the supreme masters of the Double Sword and Inner Dagger Gate and each fired a long blast and a single fist..

pababat!

“Ahhhh!”

While Paedogigi is activated, their movement is not free within a certain range..

There was nothing I could do as the circulation of my energy slowed down and my senses, including my reflexes, became dull..

It was not at the level of being defeated so easily, but when Apostle Heaven attacked like a storm, he fell like a leaf in the autumn wind..

Fire spewed out from the Apostle Heavenly Lord's eyes..

Now that I have dealt with the three, I will kill those who did this..

“I waited for this moment!”

Damribaek moved as if he had been waiting..

Lim Cho-geon, Kang Hong-seok, and Cheol Mu-myeong-hwan surrounded Sado Heavenly Lord from all directions..

The Apostle Heavenly Lord did not give me a chance to retreat..

We took the risk and approached each other and each of us took action..

Lim Cho-geon's Beast Control Method, Tiger King JK)!

The king of the mountains, the tiger's claws attack the Sado Heavenly Lord..

Galhongseok's dual sword method, Storm (爆風))!

The storm caused by the twin roads tears the Apostolic Heaven to pieces..

Cheolmoo Myeong-hwan's internal dagger method, Hae-il (海益))!

A wave of incredible power poured down..

“Kryaaaap!”

As if to finish, Damri Baek showed off his blood-sucking technique..

His eyes burst out, burning with blood..

The blood that has consumed people has rapidly increased the physical abilities of practitioners..

A power greater than the proud strength of the inner dagger gate.

In an instant, the power to overcome the limit exploded like a volcano..

“Wow!”

Even from the mouth of the Apostle Heaven, a cheer that was close to a scream came out..

He couldn't help but feel nervous this time too..

Powerful enough to make your hair stand on end.

In order to block that force, the paddle was moved to its maximum extent..

Chae chae chaeng!

“Wow!”

Lim Cho-jeon and Gal Hong-seok, who were already exhausted, were the first to leave..

He was coughing up blood as if he had suffered internal injuries..

But the other two were different.

Rather than being pushed back, they went beyond just holding on and launched a counterattack..

“Huh!”

Apostle Heaven could not help but look surprised..

Even so, Damribaek, who had dabbled in magic arts, was amazed at the power of Cheolmumyeonghwan..

I didn't know he was this expert.

It wasn't long before Cheolmumyeonghwan and Naedangeommun began to make a name for themselves..

It was after the Pokseomdomun went extinct..

Originally, the force and scale of Naedangeommun were small..

Rather than being part of the Eight Apostles, it was only at the level of a small or medium-sized sect..

As its characteristic requires needan or elixir, it cost a lot of money..

The amount of money it costs for one person is not small, and if the disciple goes out to a river for no reason and dies suddenly, the loss is enormous..

As a result, he was passive in the struggle and did not come out well..

At first I thought it was just that..

I thought it was because a master named Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan appeared and had wealth..

It would have been surprising to a normal Sado Heavenly Lord, but there was no time to think deeply about it due to the Seven Swords War and major events in the martial arts world..

‘How on earth?’

It is an ability that can even counterattack within the area of ​​​​Paedo-Ji-Gong, who has exerted all his strength..

This is not possible with regular elixirs..

Even if they poured everything into one person, with this level of skill, they would not have been able to obtain the elixir even if they had money..

If you had tried to obtain this elixir or inner altar, you would have been caught by the intelligence network..

There was more than one suspicious thing..

“It's over!”

Damribaek's eyes overflowing with desire and murderous intent shined..

The blood flowing from the eye light wrapped around the hand and formed a blade..

Wow!

A terrifying sound.

The blood-red blade pierced the air insect several times and created a hole in the wall of the Paedo Jageong..

Just as Cheolmoomyeonghwan helped Damnibaek's destruction, he once again used the tsunami of the Inner Dagger Technique to block the Apostle Heavenly Lord's retreat..

The moment the son is about to kill his father!

Jjaeaeng!

The arrow fired, leaving behind a pure white beam of light, pierced the back of Damribaek’s hand..

“some dog……!”

Damribaek’s face turned bright red..

The arrow didn't pierce me because I had strong energy in my hand, but the trajectory was distorted due to the amount of energy contained in it..

Apostle Heaven took advantage of that opportunity and launched his double swords back and forth..

“Ughhh!”

“Hehehehe!”

Damri Baek and Cheol Moo Myung Hwan were pushed away screaming..

“arrow?”

A strange sight also appeared in the eyes of the Apostle Heavenly Father..

“What kind of guy are you?!”

A line that often appears in hero magazines.

But the owner of the arrow liked that line..

“passing by ……”

Plop, plop..

A warrior holding a bow walked in front of the shattered door..

“You… … Haomun……?”

Damribaek was surprised to see Joo Seocheon's fake face..

“Let's come inspect.”

Joo Seo-cheon laughed coldly as he shot arrows at the protests..

‘Inspection?’

Introducing yourself as a reviewer?.

I looked at it wondering if it was nonsense, but Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan remembered the name and called it..

“Gunggui Swordsman!”

“What, what?”

Damribaek, who had wondered why the insignificant coward of Heukdo had appeared here, was surprised to hear the name..

The Apostles and the Heavenly Lord were all the same..

I can't believe that a person whose traces were nowhere to be found, even though I searched for him to placate him, reappears before my eyes like this..

“Take care of your son’s education, Apostle Heavenly Father..”

Joo Seo-cheon's gaze turned to Sado Cheon-ju and then moved to Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan next to him..

“You, that cotton thread before?”

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan’s pupils shook..

“how do you do that!”

Cheolmu Myeong-hwan stayed still, but Damribaek reacted..

‘cotton yarn?’

Only the Apostles and Heavenly Lord did not understand and were puzzled..

“……”

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan's eyes became as harsh as those of a hawk..

“What a fool.”

A voice as cold as the cold snow of the north wind.

The moment Damribaek was about to get angry at being called an idiot, there was a small burst of air..

nettle!

An arrow that traces a meteor-like path divided the distance between Cheolmu Myeong-hwan and Damri-baek..

Taaaat!

It wasn't an arrow this time.

It was Ju Seocheon.

‘I knew it!’

Joo Seo-cheon was convinced after seeing Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan's reaction..

The moment it was called cotton yarn, there was a bit of commotion..

And when Damribaek, standing next to him, reacted, the atmosphere changed completely..

It seemed like he was saying he was a completely different person than before..

“Haaap!”

Tighten your abdominal muscles and increase the weight..

I applied force to the speed and swung the sword held with both hands as hard as I could..

Kwaang!

The sword hit the ground and caused an explosion..

Originally, I was aiming for Cheolmumyeonghwan, but he retreated right before I reached him..

“Heo Eok!”

Lim Cho-geon and Gal Hong-seok, who had lost consciousness for a moment due to the ear-piercing binge drinking, opened their eyes and woke up..

As soon as they got up like an expert, each of them grabbed their weapons and crouched down to take a defensive stance, but there was no attack..

Instead, a loud bang hit my eardrums again..

“What on earth are you doing?.”

Joo Seo-cheon was reflected in Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan's dreary eyes..

The elder of Hao Wen whom I saw a while ago..

But when I saw it at the time, I didn't feel this kind of prayer..

I did a little research just in case..

But nothing special came out.

Of course, since my affiliation was Hao Moon, I didn’t believe that..

But there wasn't enough time to find out in detail..

I didn't really look like an expert anyway, and I had a lot of things to worry about, so I just passed it on, but that was a mistake..

“It’s called the internal dagger test, the internal dagger test.……”

Joo Seocheon did not answer but muttered meaningfully..

‘I don't remember.’

I've never heard that name in my past life.

Only in this life.

The first time I heard about it was when it took the place of the extinct Pokseomdomun, but I didn't really suspect it..

In the original history, the extinction of Pokseomdomun occurred much later, when there was a change in the power structure due to the Seven Swords War..

I didn't think it was strange because it made it impossible to predict the future at all..

‘However, I can't get over it easily anymore..’

Before I came here, I didn't think much about internal dagger examination..

but now it's different.

Naedangeommunju, Cheolmu Myeong-hwan.

As soon as the cotton yarn I saw from him a few days ago overlapped, my fists tightened..

Excited. Exciting.

a pounding pulse.

The feeling of my hair standing on end and an intense feeling of something overwhelming made me sound the alarm when I saw Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan, saying that he was not an ordinary enemy..

“Who are you??”

Joo Seocheon inadvertently said his thoughts out loud..

“……”

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan did not answer..

I just glared at Joo Seocheon with a wary look..

‘sacral vertebrae?’

The center and core of Chilseongsa Temple. But it's not an iron pill..

Cheonchu is in the Jeong sect, not the Sa sect..

‘Excluding Cheongi, is it about Cheonwon, prison, and enlightenment? Yogwang can't be here either.……’

Cheongi is a person who does not come to the fore, so it is natural to exclude him..

Yogwang also cannot be here for various reasons..

In that case, it was one of heavenly power, imprisonment, and enlightenment..

I can't think of anything else..

The head of the Pokédex is walking around, and no one below that level dares attack the Sangheun Tenjwa..

In the first place, there was no way Cheongi or Amcheonhoeju would entrust such an important matter to someone other than the leader..

‘No, this speculation is pointless..’

Joo Seocheon clenched his fists..

You can't see it, but it's wet from sweating..

“Because you just have to kill them anyway.”

Quaaaaa!

Starting from the moment he harbored murderous intent, the internal power stored in his lower extremity was expressed to the outside and covered his surroundings..

Amount beyond common sense.

Everyone in the audience was astonished at the ignorant amount that made even the inner dagger master flinch..

‘Was Gungguigeomsu that amazing??’

Apostle Heavenly Lord also had an expressionless expression, but inside he was quite surprised..

‘Where did that guy come from??’

Lim Cho-geon and Gal Hong-seok let out a groan..

Perhaps because of internal injuries, it is difficult to withstand even the released energy..

“bouncer! I dare you to know who I am!”

It had a double meaning..

The pride of the master of the inner dagger and the Chilseongsa of Amcheonhoe was seen..

“know.”

Boom!

At first I thought he was swinging a great sword, but he wasn't..

An ordinary iron sword created a pressure that oppressed the air..

Primal, pure violence, that force pushes through the air and hits the iron sword with several times more weight..

Kuaaaaang!

The swords clearly clashed, but for some reason an explosion of laughter erupted..

The face of Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan, who blocked the blow, was cruelly distorted..

The sword he was holding also rang, as if the aftereffects of his power still remained..

crunchy.

cracked marble floor.

The legs with prominent muscles also trembled and were pushed back slightly..

“what……”

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan is speechless due to his overwhelming strength..

It didn't end there.

The weight conveyed by touching the swords was increasing slightly..

The moment he decided it was dangerous and was about to step back, a deep smile appeared on his lips..

And for a moment, those eyes glowed slightly green..

‘poison?’

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan’s complexion changed..

I was going to have a battle to see who would win, but I changed my mind and backed away..

It's common for sapphins to use poison, so it's not strange..

But in the current situation, it's a little different..

While you are using your full power with your sword, you are emitting poison that could be a threat..

My doubts grew deeper and deeper..

“where!”

bang!

heel rises.

The marble beneath it shatters and rises upward..

A water buffalo in the shape of a human is charging forward, creating a storm..

He raised his sword as if it were raising a single horn..

Wherever Ju Seocheon passes by, it becomes a wasteland..

Refined marble floor cracked, spewed and shattered..

“joy!”

Despite the terrifying force, Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan was not afraid but instead snorted..

No matter how confident you were in your martial arts skills, charging in so ignorantly was an act of suicide..

The route is too monotonous.

“die!”

There was no need to avoid it. If they charge at you with all their might, you can use that power to raise your sword forward and stab them..

If it were someone else, they wouldn't even be able to land that attack properly and would be swept away, but it would be different for an expert like you..

“stupid guy!”

Lim Cho-geon and Gal Hong-seok, who suddenly became bystanders, also laughed..

What's the point of rushing in while smashing the marble?.

If you go that way without turning, your body will be split in two..

Whining!

But that confidence was wrong.

What happened next was unexpected..

“What, what……!”

Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan’s face is colored with astonishment..

Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

There was a loud noise that was incomparable to before..

It was the sound of dozens of thunder striking at once..

Joo Seo-cheon, a rhinoceros holding a single horn, was defeated by Cheol Moo-myeong-hwan..

There was no avoidance..

I threw myself away like I was..

Originally, Cheolmumyeonghwan's sword should have passed the iron sword and separated the upper and lower body..

But I couldn't do it.

“It's called self-defense.?”

I was so surprised that my mouth opened so much that drool flowed out..

Anyone can do it here, including putting on a sword..

Conversely, if you can't use it, you can't intervene..

But self-defense is a little different..

It is possible to use it, but not everyone can use it due to the severe consumption of internal power..

Even if you use it, the moment is limited..

But it wasn't enough to maintain it for a long time, so it was used for offense rather than defense..

“no, how about……”

Kwaaang!

I couldn't say anything after that..

His sword strength, which boasts a large amount of internal strength even among the masters of Hwagyeong, has disappeared..

Condensation, purity, and quantity of energy. Everything was pushed aside.

When one side of the battle of strength disappeared, the answer was obvious..

Cheolmumyeonghwan flew away due to a body slam made with a self-defense weapon..

It didn't just fly away.

The body bounced against the marble floor, like a stone bouncing on the surface of the water..

‘Heheheok!’

I can't even make a sound because it's so full of pain..

Just to minimize the impact on my body, I protected my body as much as possible..

But that too for a while.

The Cheolmumyeonghwan flew straight ahead, creating a hole in the wall, and flew all the way outside..
