Chapter four
But the man-eating tribe had no intention of stopping..
I cut the vein in his neck, but somehow he charged at me like a wild boar..
Tang Hye frowned, twisted her wrist, swung the rope around, and wrapped it around the man-eating tribe's neck, giving it strength..
Sungdeong.
If it were an ordinary rope, it would have broken, but it is a Cheonjam thread that cannot be broken or cut by any amount of human power..
Rather than breaking, it is strong enough to repel the force being transmitted..
The head of a man-eating tribe was cut cleanly off..
I've only just killed one.
There are still a lot of them..
While Tang Hui retrieved the silk sword, the man-eating tribe rushed in..
“miss!”
Won Dae-sik, the guard warrior, quickly tried to approach..
However, after gesturing to him not to come, Danghye easily dodged the jungle sword that was flying at him with the force of splitting his head without even raising an eyebrow with minimal movement..
“Crook!”
Although there was no reason left in the warrior, his judgment during battle remained thanks to his daily training..
Even though he only had instinct left, he knew how the enemy would attack after dodging his attack..
The warrior turned his body and swung the jungle sword widely..
Boom.
Perhaps due to the influence of the spell, the strength and speed of the force increased..
However, Tang Hye was not embarrassed and struck a blow..
Powok!
Man-eating tribal warrior stopped after being hit with a palm to the abdomen.
Just because you don't feel pain doesn't mean you're invincible.
The Tang family's pride, the Red Red Poker, infiltrated and paralyzed the muscles and nerves..
The poison eventually spread through the bloodstream to the brain and heart, taking his life..
“Because I'm done.”
Danghye pointed straight ahead with her chin..
“All right!”
Still, perhaps because he was concerned as a guard warrior, he didn't go that far and dealt with a tribe of cannibals near Tanghye..
“Show me the power of fortune telling!”
The singularity faded and then appeared.
It was Tanhyeonsinbeop (彈鉉身法), which is the best for instantaneous movement..
The cannibalistic tribe's jungle path only cuts through thin air..
And in the hands of Jeomchang Chil Gongja, the Four Day Sword Technique was unfolded..
‘First day of the day)’
The first thing that appeared in the cannibalistic tribe's sight was not a human body, but a sword blade..
Puuk!
It is so fast that it cannot be seen with the naked eye..
As its name suggests, the fired sword gave a terrifying stab..
What was most frightening was the precision with which bloodletting was aimed..
A man-eating tribe warrior dies instantly after being stabbed in the blood..
“Kyaaaat!”
“die!”
Meanwhile, three man-eating tribes attacked..
Dan Ha-seong used the Tanhyeonsin technique again and disappeared, leaving an afterimage, and then fired a stab following the initial attack of the Four Swords..
pabababat!
A dazzling beam of light shot out.
The warriors who were charging with mad energy fell forward after being hit by a series of stabs..
“I'm dying!”
“I'll show you the power of Jeong Chang.!”
Dan Ha-seong was not the only one active..
Jeomchang's other disciples were also excellent at martial arts..
Although it was not as good as the Sailseom sword, which was only allowed to Jangmunin's previous disciples, it was still a sharp sword that made tongues wagging..
“Party! Bow your head!”
“Huh!”
And as they were divided into three groups and the Dangga and Jeomchang were mixed, they helped each other, although it was improvised, in harmony..
‘Jeomchang is not famous for his practical martial arts skills for nothing..’
‘It's spontaneous, but you can adapt it like this.!’
‘ That's amazing.’
The warriors of the Tang Dynasty were purely amazed by the movements of Jeomchang's disciples..
‘Indeed, Jeomchangpa.’
Joo Seocheon also couldn’t help but be impressed..
As I thought of the era of war, I thought of the Jeomchangpa who roamed the battlefield..
Jeomchang’s reputation does not come from inaction alone..
It's right there on the battlefield itself..
‘And while I wasn't looking, he also got stronger..’
Joo Seo-cheon glanced at Dan Ha-seong as he easily dealt with four cannibalistic tribesmen..
‘Is this the peak of flower scenery just around the corner? It was rewarding to save you from the poisonous valley. I'm glad it helped so much.’
For some reason, I was in danger every time I saw it, but it wasn't that bad..
This was helpful in the end.
‘good. At this level, I can trust it and leave it to you..’
There is no need to worry too much about other groups..
Dang-hye and Dan Ha-seong were doing better than expected..
“I'll pick up the pace, follow closely.!”
Joo Seocheon glided through the ground..
P-Yung!
Like the art of the four swords, his body turned into an arrow and was shot..
The place where Ju Seo-cheon passed was a wasteland..
The man-eating tribe that rushed at them with their eyes closed was easily cut down by the volcano's sword before they could approach..
Meanwhile, the search party members of Joo Seocheon's group were in dire straits..
‘I'll be faster here?’
‘It’s not called Plum Blossom Sword for nothing.!’
‘Are you planning to organize everything?!’
The warriors of a man-eating tribe are never weak.
Even by midfield standards, there was no sewage..
Most of them were second or first class..
Occasionally, there were people who reached the pinnacle of being experts, so it was not easy to deal with them..
It was even more so because it was strengthened by magic..
However, the monster in front of me, the hero of the Volcano Sect, seemed to not care at all and just lightly dealt with the obstacles in his way..
That's not all, I used Geomgang and Geomgi consistently..
I was curious about how much strength he had..
Anyway, Joo Seocheon's search party members' mouths were dry as they could barely keep up with this terrifying speed..
Even if I tried to take a break, I wasn't given time to do so..
If I slowed down just a little bit, Joo Seocheon would go far away, so I gathered my strength because I felt like I would fall behind if I didn't come to my senses..
As a result, there was a difference between the three groups..
While Tang Hye and Dan Ha-seong's group were still advancing slowly in front of the stairs leading up to the temple, Ju Seo-cheon's group had already reached the halfway point of the stairs and advanced rapidly..
“Stay there! I'm going to bring the Joongwon man and blow your head off.!”
It was a sloping temple, but it didn't bother me..
For some reason, I felt free as if I was moving on flat ground..
“Kuoooo-!”
The higher you go, the higher the level of the warriors becomes..
There was nothing first-class, let alone second-class..
Most of them were climax or super climax..
Although they were small in number, they were that strong..
Among them, the highlight was a warrior that was as long as seven feet long..
There were many tattoos on his body as if to prove his strength..
The pictures and letters drawn all over the body wriggled as if reacting to the ominous light, and the sight was extremely strange..
Kwaang!
Seven ships of warriors step on the advance guard and leap forward..
Since he threw himself off a slope, it would be a scene that would make anyone see it as suicide, but that is not the case at all..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
A shadow falls over Joo Seocheon’s head..
I looked up and saw a warrior falling exactly here..
And, holding the jungle sword, which was bigger than the others due to his size, tightly in his right hand, he pushed down with all his might..
Whining.
Kuaaaaang―!
It was a destructive force closer to a mace than a sword..
The moment the seven warriors fell, a storm blew up nearby..
The majestic staircase, which had been painstakingly built over several decades, was completely destroyed, and the temple's mid-section was left in shambles..
“Wow!”
“Come on, grab it.!”
The search party members screamed..
They held on to the ground to avoid flying away..
So, the man-eating tribe that only charged was not safe..
Some were caught in the gusts and fell to the bottom of the temple..
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The priest who was looking down from the top laughed..
“No matter how much you are from the middle plains, you are a dead end in front of the tribe's best warrior.!”
Strength that is incomparable to that of ordinary warriors.
Multiple spells can be given, so the amplification effect is doubled..
The priest wet his lips with his tongue and smiled evilly..
Appetite was reflected in the eyes that were shining with an unpleasant light..
‘A master of that level would have quite a bit of energy to extract from his heart and brain. I'm already excited.. ’
Jungwon Murim's coriander has the worst taste, but its strength is the best..
Even so, the priest who had not made any progress in his magic recently was absorbed in the elation of being able to become stronger..
“The best warrior of the tribe. Bring that guy. I hope you haven't messed up your head and heart.?”
I don't know about other places, but if the damage to the brain and heart is severe, power cannot be absorbed properly..
So I ordered you to be careful..
Of course, if it was that level of attack, his body might have been shattered, but since the opponent was also an expert, he would have been able to withstand it to some extent..
“……?”
The priest wiped his smile and tilted his head to the side..
For some reason, the warrior didn't move..
Even if I tried to check, I couldn't because the warrior was so large that I couldn't see the situation in front of him..
“no, don't worry.”
“……Oh, no way!”
The priest's face was distorted like a mop..
“My heart and brain are fine..”
Puuk!
A hole appeared in the back made of muscle and flesh, and the sword came out..
The sword body contained a faint purple energy..
The tattoo that was wriggling strangely on the skin also lost its strength and stopped..
Instead of an ominous haze, blood flowed out..
“Tskcha.”
Ju Seo-cheon drew his sword and pushed the seven warriors who were about to fall forward..
thud! Kukukuk! shed!
A heavy body falls down a slope and down the stairs..
It made a noise every time it hit..
And when it reached the lower level of the temple, its shape was so miserable that it was unrecognizable..
“Uh, how!”
The priest opened his mouth in awe..
“He was strong enough to be called the best of the tribe..”
Joo Seocheon spoke sincerely without being sarcastic..
The moment I was attacked, I raised my weight to secure my lower body and even created self-defense techniques to prepare for the attack..
If I hadn't done that, even if I was myself, I wouldn't have been able to overcome the shock and would have been thrown away..
“This, this, ah……!”
Joo Seocheon looked at the priest who was shaking like an aspen tree..
The priest was not big compared to the warriors around him..
It was only about five feet tall..
Only the cane was too big..
The eyelids were sunken and the body was thin..
The haphazardly grown beard was messy..
There was no hair..
Is that so? The look in his eyes was different..
It burned like the fire pit of hell, but strangely enough, it was green..
“Inooooooooom― !”
The priest's anger exploded..
Wow!!
It was a cry that could not possibly be felt as human..
And the priest's body changed like that of the warrior..
The delicate muscles swelled and became lumpy..
Tendons and even purple veins sprouted..
The muscles of the upper body swelled greatly, forming an inverted triangle..
And the tattoo shone like eye light..
Grumbling!
My beard was on fire..
No, the beard turned into flames and began to burn brightly..
A green color reminiscent of the great forests of Nanman flowed from the eye light..
No, it was right to say it was on fire..
It wasn't meant figuratively..
The flames really spewed out like a blazing fire, and it couldn't possibly be seen as human..
Same goes for the beard..
Flames stained with rust burned the air, fluttering like the devil's tongue..
The priest straightened his bent back..
It was only five feet long, but as the muscles swelled, it got a little bigger..
‘You're not a person?’
Even Ju Seo-cheon of the world stuck out his tongue..
“Whoop!”
Meanwhile, the priest took a deep breath..
The already swollen chest muscles have grown to a deformed size..
‘……?’
Joo Seocheon trembled..
‘Heat?’
The heat hit me to the point where I stopped breathing..
But I can't believe I feel hot even though I don't know how to write in Chinese and Western languages.?
“pi hat!”
Joo Seocheon, who intuitively sensed something was strange, threw his body to the side and warned the search team..
“Wow!!”
And right after that, the priest exhaled..
No, to be exact, it was correct to say that he exhaled it..
Grumbling!
it wasn't breath.
What came out from beyond the throat was a green fire that burned up all the surrounding air..
It's not just a fireball the size of a child's head..
It spread out like a fan and covered the side of the temple..
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
They were warriors from a cannibalistic tribe who could not feel pain due to witchcraft, but their tattoos melted and screamed..
The screams were so cruel that the warriors and warriors fighting fiercely below flinched..
“what……”
Joo Seo-cheon also fell like a frog and could not speak..
‘If you get hit, the country will end..’
I knew it wasn't normal since he was the leader of a man-eating tribe, but I didn't expect it to be this scary..
It is not for nothing that it is not necessary to call it a curse in the Chinese language..
The body was completely transformed and became resistant to cold and heat..
That's all.
He has even gone so far as to undergo a complete metamorphosis, so he doesn't even flinch from the heat unless he covers himself with fire..
But not now.
Although I narrowly escaped it, my body heated up just from the heat of the fire..
Chicken skin grew on the skin, and sweat was secreted and dripped down..
“Ugh! A rat-like guy!”
The priest was irritated in a strange voice, like a mixture of noises..
A beard of fire burned with anger..
“Dead!”
Boom.
The priest swung his grotesquely swollen right arm..
There were no flames, but the power was still unusual..
I just swung my arm, but a strong gust of wind blew..
The surviving search party members crouched down to avoid being blown away..
“crazy!”
For the first time in a long time, Joo Seocheon uttered a sincere curse..
I gave strength to my thighs, bounced off the floor, and climbed up..
Whirly Whirly!
His body, floating in the air, spun like a top..
The sword in his hand cut the priest's arm..
push shot!
Countless blood lines were drawn on the arm..
A lot of blood splattered in the air..
“Wow! This bastard!”
The priest screamed in pain and ran wild..
Every time that happened, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred..
It was a spectacular sight to see dents forming wherever you stepped and debris scattering around..
Joo Seocheon, who landed in place, calmly avoided the priest's random attacks..
The face was stiff..
‘Even though I used a sword, I couldn't cut it..’
Just now, when I was spinning in the air, I created sword energy instead of sword energy..
Originally, my arm should have been cut off..
I knew very well what that meant..
This nameless spell has the effect of wearing a self-defense weapon..
“Let's see if we can avoid this too.”
Grumbling!
His fiery beard fluttered, creating as many as six spheres of flame behind his back..
“Huh!”
The more I looked at the priest's magic, the more shocking it was..
If you look at the sphere of flame, it is not something like samadhi evolution. It's more than that.
It's clear to see that it's floating..
I'm dying!
The sphere of flame moved as if in sync with the priest's voice..
Six fireballs spun around and flew out..
‘That too is dangerous!’
It's not as hot as the fire that came out of my mouth earlier, but I still feel a little bit of heat. It was dangerous no matter how you pretended..
Just like before, Joo Seocheon threw himself to the side and rolled down the slope. It fell down but stopped midway..
“uh?”
But for a moment I feel relieved.
I saw a fireball flying towards the front, change direction and chase after me..
“I would have said it would be inevitable.!”
A deep smile spread across the priest's lips..
The fireball wasn't just floating in the air..
The strings connected by will were controlling it at will..
Ju Seocheon heard those words and clicked his tongue lightly..
I tried to block the fireball by spreading my self-defense device straight ahead..
But at that moment.
Something caught in my senses..
I raised my head and saw someone flying from somewhere..
No, to be exact, it was the body of a man-eating tribe with a hole in its neck..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The fireball that shot like an arrow collided with the flying body..
And then it exploded with a loud noise..
Due to the explosion, the ball of flames that had gathered together dispersed like fog and rose in a thick cloud..
“What kind of kite are you?!”
The priest wiped his smile and burst into anger..
And in the meantime, another body flew out from somewhere and collided with one of the five remaining spheres of flame..
Kuaaaaang!
Binge drinking to the point where your ears are falling off.
As a spectacular explosion occurred in the air, one more sphere of flame disappeared..
“Okay!”
The priest tapped the ground with the tip of his staff..
The only four remaining spheres of flame circled..
The green glowing eyes headed towards the place where the body flew..
but there was nothing.
No, it looked like there was nothing there..
“Can't deceive my eyes!”
“lieutenant commander!”
Joo Seocheon smiled as if he was happy to see you..
The major, who was hiding between the Tang family and the fortune-telling faction and dealing with the cannibalistic tribe, sensed the danger of Ghost Gokju and rushed to him..
“You bastards!”
The priest shouted in anger and struck down his staff with all his might..
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!
The ground sank down around the tip of the stick..
The ground flipped over and bounced upwards..
Not just physical shock.
The ominous energy that had been creeping up turned into a wave that swept over Joo Seocheon and the major..
“Inhale!”
Joo Seo-cheon picked up the fetus, placed it on the floor, and held on..
The major was blown away by the shock wave, then somersaulted and landed..
The priest thought it was time to raise his staff..
Green eye light emanated from the skull, and a fireball moved..
A sphere of flame that leaves a trail of red flames..
Each of the four districts split into two and targeted Ju Seo-cheon and So-ryeong..
Taat!
The first to react was the major..
The major threw himself in front of Ghost Gokju to save his body..
I didn't care if there were fireballs flying from behind or from the side..
Ghost Gokju took priority over himself..
“lieutenant commander!”
Ju Seo-cheon also ran towards the major..
I didn't want to lose her through unnecessary risk..
And then, spheres of flame fell from all directions towards one place..
bang! Quaaaang! Kwaang!
The flames collide with each other and burn the body..
As it exploded, it destroyed the surrounding air and spewed out flames..
Heat comparable to that of lava melted the surrounding stairs and slopes, engulfing everything..
“main bridge!”
Dan Ha-seong, who had not taken his eyes off Joo Seo-cheon even during the fierce battle, saw this and screamed..
The expression on the search team's face wasn't very good either..
They also saw the power of that fireball just a moment ago..
“no!”
“Joo Seocheon Daehyup is suffering.!”
I heard voices of regret coming from all over the place..
Dokbong and Danghye also stand in place and look up..
I could see the fire still burning fiercely..
There was no emotion in her eyes.
There were only feelings as cold as ice..
Serenity like under the surface of the water.
“no.”
Danghye denied it..
“I'm not the kind of person who can be defeated that easily..”
It was not a voice that ignored reality..
It was an expression that saw the truth..
It was ‘confidence’, not madness or turning away..
Won Dae-sik listened to the words of the host and looked at the flame with an expression of disbelief..
“joy!”
The priest snorted..
“There won't even be any bones left, let alone the head or heart. Is this the price you pay for making me angry?……”
Paaaat!
The priest’s words could not continue..
The flame in front split into two and a dagger flew out and grazed my cheek..
“no way!”
no. That can't be possible..
I was completely caught up in that explosion, so I believed it was impossible for me to survive..
But that trust was spectacularly shattered..
Even the expectations of others who thought Joo Seo-cheon was dead were wrong..
The ones who jumped out as they cut through the cloud-like flames were Ju Seo-cheon and Major, who had not suffered any burns..
‘how!’
I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak..
“$Goes.”
Joo Seocheon whispers quietly..
Before being caught in the explosion, I wrapped my arms around the major and used my best self-defense skills..
Because of this, my energy wasted heavily..
Hehehe!
It's not just the flame that splits.
While waiting, his body was shot towards the priest in front..
The layered wall of atmosphere disappeared, and Ju Seo-cheon, who passed by, drew a vertical line with all his might with a fetus carrying strong energy..
“It's impossible!”
The priest raised his staff horizontally as if responding..
Focused on defense by holding with both hands instead of one..
Wow!!
The sword and staff clashed together, emitting a metallic sound..
Neither side wanted to back down..
The priest flexes his muscles and gives them strength..
As if responding to a spell, the tattoo wriggled to the point where it protruded from the skin..
“Do you know this??”
Joo Seocheon twisted the corners of his mouth and smiled..
