Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 118

Episode 118
Blood jade.
Or, metaphorically, it is also called ‘the blood of the blood horse’.
It was an old story, but it wasn’t something that would become a myth or a legend.
Because some of those who were alive when Blood Jade was born are still alive.
However, the power that the Blood Jade held was so great that it could easily be placed in the ranks of myths and legends.
Blood Jade grants the ability of ‘blood sucking’ to those who consume it.
The ability to suck and store the blood and vitality of an opponent, vampirism.
The caster can use the blood and vitality he has sucked in like mana, and in addition, he can display incredible levels of recovery ability.
That is, if you can continue to suck blood, you can maintain eternal youth.
The one who created this blood jade is none other than Yuksa So.
And his nickname was ‘Blood Horse’.
The worst villain in the Central Plains, the greatest murderer of all time.
The strongest evil spirit who defeated both Cheonma and Geomjon.
One day, he was found dead in a market street.
He was killed after being accidentally caught up in a street fight while eating on the street.
It was a very shabby death for one who once commanded the world.
In fact, it was not just a miserable death, it was an absurd death.
Because someone who had a life close to eternity and power close to the strongest died in such a futile way.
So at first, no one believed in the death of the Blood Demon.
However, the results of the non-partisan autopsy showed that he was indeed a blood demon.
Then another question arose.
Why didn’t the blood demon use his martial arts?
Why didn’t you even try to get out a little while you were being unfairly beaten by market thugs?
This is despite the fact that he possesses the incredible martial art of the Bloodthirsty Skill.
It was a huge mystery.
The Blood Demon’s secret martial art was the Blood Demon’s martial art, a martial art that used blood and blood energy.
The problem is that since it is a martial art that uses blood and vital energy, if you use the bloodletting technique with a normal body, you will die from excessive bleeding before you can even use two techniques.
Therefore, it was a martial art that only those who possessed the blood jade within their bodies could demonstrate.
So, looking at the helpless dead blood horse, people made this guess.
It’s not like there was no blood jade in the blood horse’s body.
And it was true.
This is because the autopsy results confirmed that there was indeed no blood jade in the blood demon’s body.
This meant that there was a blood jade somewhere in the Central Plains.
“Blood jade is not something that can be absorbed or digested when eaten. It spreads throughout the body of the person who ingested it, and when extracted, it reconstructs itself using blood as a raw material. In short, it is something that is harder to get rid of.”
Yeongsu was mumbling like that as he climbed over the mountain ridge.
With the ice white hat hanging loosely over her shoulders.
“The Blood Horse is dead, and the Blood Jade exists somewhere. This fact was enough to shake up many unmanned forces. Either to destroy it or to seize it.”
The Jeongpa side was the side that wanted to destroy it.
It was to prevent another blood horse from being born.
So, the blood horse’s martial art, ‘Sahyeolgi’, was banned.
Of course, it was a kind of symbolic measure, since no one other than the Blood Horse could use it.
On the other hand, the Demonic Cult was trying to take over the Blood Jade.
“What’s the reason… Can you guess why the Demonic Cult wants the Blood Jade?”
Anyway.
“Even though the reasons were different, the purpose of the blood jade was the same. Whether it was the Demonic Cult or the Righteous Cult.”
Each faction began sending out expeditions to find the Blood Jade.
In the devil’s cult and in the righteous sect.
As they followed the footsteps of the dead blood horse, they were eventually forced to meet somewhere, and the encounter soon led to battle.
That was how the First World War broke out.
“In that way, the Jeongpa lost half of the Central Plains, and your Demonic Cult lost the Heavenly Horse that they revered like the sky, half-corpsed. But even after paying that price, in the end, you were unable to find the Blood Jade.”
At that moment, Youngsoo chuckled.
“But let me tell you something funny. I actually already knew where the Blood Jade was.”
But the Ice White Horse showed no reaction.
Regardless, Youngsoo continued talking to himself.
“The problem is that simply knowing the location of the Blood Jade is not enough to obtain it. In order to bring the Blood Jade out into the world, a sacrifice is needed. That’s why I went through all the trouble to bring Pan here to offer that sacrifice. Do you understand?”
Yeongsu looked at the Bingbaekmaje that was resting on his shoulder.
He still didn’t say anything.
It had to be that way.
Because I hadn’t been breathing for about 10 minutes.
“Oh, I killed it.”
Immediately after using the spell to control the mind of the Ice White Demon Emperor and make him write a piece of writing.
The Ice White Horse, exhausted, breathed his last.
“… Well, we’re all here anyway.”
Yeongsu had already arrived near the Bingbaek Palace.
Youngsu climbed over the collapsed wall and entered the castle.
Then, a voice was heard from afar, looking for Youngsu.
“Huh? Captain?”
The first to discover Youngsoo were the adjutant and the secretary.
He waved with a look of pure welcome.
His face had a refreshing smile that suggested he had just completed a difficult task.
But Youngsoo couldn’t smile after seeing the letter.
When I look at him, I keep thinking of the families of herbalists who died at the hands of the master without any fault of their own.
Of course, Youngsu did not think he was a very moral person.
But still, there was at least a minimum line.
At least they had enough ethics not to touch someone who was neither an enemy nor at fault and did not need to be killed.
But for Juseo, and for the people of Murim, there was no such thing.
They killed people without any hesitation.
It wasn’t because killing was fun.
Because murder was nothing.
In their eyes, having mastered martial arts and gone beyond the ordinary human realm, ordinary people were nothing more than ants.
Humans neither hate nor love ants.
Not necessarily killing, but killing when necessary, that’s the extent of awareness.
Yeongsu has seen these aspects of martial artists countless times in games.
I saw a man who killed a boatman because he needed a boat for a boat trip, and I saw a man who cut off the hand of a gisaeng because she had a pretty hand.
Did these guys originally have power, or did they become like this because they had power?
It was difficult to know what happened before and after that, but one thing was certain.
‘We can’t let those kinds of kids come to Earth.’
The phenomenon of overlapping worlds, the superposition of worlds.
As the Great Battle progresses, it is only a matter of time before the Central Plains and Earth overlap.
Then, naturally, the humans of the Central Plains will also come to Earth.
If we just leave it alone, those kinds of people will just flow into the Earth.
Youngsoo couldn’t just sit by and watch it.
The Earth is already a mess, so if such quasi-psychopaths were to flow in, it would be unmanageable.
In fact, regardless of morality or anything else, this was the biggest problem.
“Captain? But who is that on your shoulder?”
“Oh, yeah.”
Bam.
Yeongsu threw the body of the Ice White Demon to the floor.
The eyes of the agents who saw the body wavered slightly.
“Surely not,” the writer asked in a tone of voice.
“I, that… no way… … .”
“That’s right, it was the Ice White Horse. I chased after it and killed it when it ran away.”
“… … !”
All the members’ mouths dropped open.
“No, isn’t that guy the number two in that demonic cult?!”
“That’s right. Now that we’ve caught this guy, the operation is over.”
“… … !”
“Pack your bags. Let’s go back.”
* * *
As soon as the punitive force returned, the headquarters of the Murim Alliance was turned upside down.
Not only did they conquer the Ice White Palace with only 100 men, they even took the Ice White Demon’s body.
It was like cutting off an enemy’s arm before a full-scale war even began.
“… It’s definitely the corpse of the Ice White Demon.”
The leader, Mu-gang, personally confirmed the results of this expedition.
Even for someone who had experienced everything, it was a result that was hard to believe.
Moo-gang looked at Yeong-su.
‘I thought it would be fortunate if at most we were able to become equals… … .’
Cheon Yeong-su.
He was stronger than I imagined.
‘If he continues to grow like this, he will be talented enough to aim for the position of the best in the world.’
So climb higher.
So stand above all strength.
‘But I will still be above your heads.’
Because the loneliness I planted in you is still writhing inside your body.
“Cheon Yeong-su.”
At the leader’s call, Youngsu answered.
“yes.”
“Come to my office.”
Youngsoo and Moogang entered the office.
Moo-gang said.
“How did you kill the Ice White Demon?”
“He ordered me to punish him, and I did as he ordered me to do. That’s all.”
“That’s the answer.”
Chorr-
Mu-gang said as he handed the tea to Yeong-su.
“Where there is merit, there must be a reward. If there is something you wish for, just tell me.”
“yes……?”
“Wealth is good, and fame is good. Tell me what you want as a reward.”
Youngsoo was inwardly surprised.
‘This narrow-minded spirit is showing such kindness… …?’
But Youngsoo soon realized the reason for this favor.
‘Ah, are you doing this because you believe in the loneliness you have planted in me?’
It was accurate.
But anyway, there was no reason to refuse if they offered me something.
Youngsoo rolled his head.
The best thing I can get from this guy right now is… …
“I want a sword.”
“knife?”
“Yes. The war is not over yet. I want a weapon that can help overcome this crisis and contribute to the victory of the Alliance.”
“Your mouth is greasy. But I like it.”
The leader shouted outside the office.
“Banseoho!”
“yes!”
His immediate attendant, Ban Seo-ho, rushed in.
Moo-gang said as he handed the key to Seo-ho.
“Give me any weapon you want from my arsenal.”
“Yes? Oh, I understand!”
“After you choose your weapon, get some rest.”
Just as I was about to leave the room.
Yeongsu said to Mu-gang.
“Oh, I have something to give you.”
“What is it?”
Yeongsu put down the large pouch he was carrying on his back.
“These are the documents that were in the Ice White Demon’s room. I brought them here because I thought they might contain some useful information… … .”
The pockets were filled with bundles of paper and scrolls densely written with writing.
“Hoo… … .”
“I was going to read them and only take the important ones, but since I’m blind, I had no choice but to take whatever I could.”
“Okay. Let’s take a look at it one by one.”
After Youngsoo and Seoho left the office.
Moo-gang began to look through the documents in his pocket one by one.
Records from the room of the number two leader of the Demonic Cult.
Since these were materials that were nearly impossible to obtain in their entirety, Moo-gang began to carefully examine them one by one.
There were all kinds of records there.
It contained all kinds of information, including administrative records such as the financial records and minutes of the Bingbaek Palace, personal records such as diaries and calligraphy and paintings, content related to martial arts such as the draft of the Mu-gong Secret Book and the secrets of Un-gi Yo-gyeol, and the contents of correspondence exchanged with the Il-wol Palace where Cheon-ma resided.
‘The leader hasn’t woken up yet, huh? This information is important.’
By the time I had read about three-quarters of the documents in my pocket.
Mu-gang took out a scroll and unfolded it.
It was a letter that was written but not sent to Cheonma.
And what it contained was so shocking that it made me forget everything I had read before.
‘Blood prison… …?!’
What was written on the scroll was information about the location of the ‘Blood Jade’.
Plus, an explanation of how to obtain the Blood Jade there.
The Ice White Demon tried to convey this information to Cheonma, but died and was unable to do so.
‘Is it the original?’
Because the information was so shocking and out of context, it needed to be verified.
Mu-gang opened all the other documents written by Bingbaek Ma-je and compared them with this scroll.
Handwriting, tone, breathing, mannerisms.
The comparison results confirmed that this scroll was indeed written by the Ice White Demon.
It had to be that way.
This scroll was written by Youngsoo who controlled the spirit of the Ice White Demon Emperor and made it be written by the Ice White Demon Emperor’s hand.
‘Haha, hahahaha… … .’
Blood jade.
Something I’ve been looking for for so long.
The light that had faded with the passage of time began to shine brightly in Mu-gang’s eyes.
‘Ogeomsan Hoeryeongsa Temple Site… …!’
That is the name of the place where the blood jade is located.
and…….
‘This will be my last battlefield.’
