Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 124

Episode 124
Meanwhile, on Youngsoo’s side.
Flash!
Youngsoo flicked the incendiary glove, causing another flash.
Then, the ten-year-old cavalry detachment in the distance drew its bow toward that position –
ping-
Quagwagwa!
Arrows rained down from the sky, decimating the area.
At the point where the arrows swept past, the demons would inevitably stagger out.
They are the cultists who were lying in wait there.
They were lucky enough to barely survive the stray arrows… … .
“Ugh… What is this… … .”
“hi.”
As luck would have it, the person I ran into as soon as I came out alive was Yeongsu.
Of course, there was no way I could survive.
There were five ambush units that were wiped out by the preemptive strike of Yeongsu and the 10th Infantry Division.
Since they were hiding in quite a few places using stealth techniques, if they had just advanced their troops, the damage would have been considerable.
Rain, rain-
Yeongsu took a deep breath and walked to the edge of the cliff, chewing on a persimmon.
A wide plain was visible below the cliff.
It was a flat land located in the valley in the middle of Mt. Ogeom, not a flat land at the bottom of the mountain.
And in the center of that plain stood a five-story brick tower.
‘There you are.’
That tower is the five-story stone pagoda of Hoeryongsa Temple.
And the area around that tower was once the site of a temple called Hoeryeongsa.
But at this point, this archaeological background was not important.
What was important was what was inside that tower.
‘There is a blood jade in that tower.’
The reason Youngsu came here.
The reason why Mu-gang led his army to this place.
The reason why Cheonma woke up from his long sleep and started moving.
The reason why they fought a great war in the past and divided the world in two.
And that’s why war broke out again now.
The sum total of all these reasons was the Blood Jade.
because…….
‘I want to take it out right now, but… … .’
That couldn’t be done.
Because at this point, no matter what I did, I couldn’t get the blood jade out of that tower.
But it wasn’t far.
Until the blood jade sleeping inside that tower reveals itself.
Because now war was really imminent.
Youngsoo raised his left hand, which was wearing a mitten, high into the sky.
Pubbubububu!
Five flashes in succession.
The 10th Infantry Division recognized the signal.
“The cleanup is complete.”
“Light the signal fire!”
Pishuuu!
The ten-year-old cavalry fired a single fire arrow into the air.
The allied forces stationed at the wall saw the flaming arrow.
General Woo, Ha Seong-su spoke to Mu-gang.
“The advance party sent a signal. That is… … .”
“They say the battlefield has been cleared.”
“That means… … .”
“It’s time to go.”
Moo-gang looked back.
Hwarrrrrr-
The stone gate was on fire.
The buildings, gates, fences, and storehouses that formed the wall were all collapsing in the fire.
And in front of him, fifteen warriors were kneeling, bound with ropes.
They were all unmanned personnel belonging to the Wall Inspection Team.
Moo-gang approached them with his sword drawn.
“This is good, as I needed a sacrifice to offer to the God of War.”
“Leader… … !”
“Shut your mouth.”
Shukak!
Mu-gang cut off all of their heads.
“…you will be recorded as neither good nor evil nor devil, but simply traitors.”
It was both an execution and a part of the expedition.
Now, Mt. Ogeum was really right in front of us.
Moo-gang said to his subordinates.
“Throw these into the fire.”
“yes!”
Corpses were thrown into the blazing flames of the wall.
Beyond the smoke from the burning corpses, Mt. Ogeum was dimly visible.
Moo-gang took a deep breath.
There it is.
‘There, there is a blood jade.’
His eyes, hidden beneath his white eyebrows, sparkled.
And then.
“Your Majesty.”
“Oh, you’re here.”
Sa Hyun-ik has also completed his return.
“What did Byukyunho do?”
“I did as you instructed.”
“good night.”
“Do you have any further instructions?”
“This time, it is an order not only for you, but for everyone.”
Moo-gang looked back.
Behind him stood a force of 5,000 men.
Moo-gang said.
“It’s an advance.”
* * *
It wasn’t just the allied forces that arrived near Ogeomsan.
If the allied forces of Jeongpa had arrived on the eastern slope of Ogeumsan Mountain, the forces of the Demonic Cult had arrived on the western slope.
That too, one step ahead of the Allied Forces.
It was natural, since Ilwolgung was closer to Ogeomsan than the headquarters of the Murim Alliance.
By arriving one step ahead, we were able to place ambush troops in various places on Mt. Ogeum.
Of course, now it seems like it’s meaningless.
Because Youngsoo swept everything away with pinpoint accuracy.
“… All the ambush troops were defeated?”
“yes.”
“… … .”
The man who asked his subordinate a question was momentarily dumbfounded.
He was a man with red hair, a large build, and a strange heat in his eyes.
This person was the second-in-command of the current Sun and Moon Sect, the Demon Lord Yeolyeol, Jeok Gwan-ung.
“… Okay, tell me what happened.”
“Judging by the traces of being attacked with bows, it appears that they were all attacked with archery.”
“Did you attack the entire area with bows?”
“No, only the exact ambush point was attacked.”
“… … .”
In that case, there was only one hypothesis that could come to mind from the perspective of the Flame Demon Emperor.
“… information has been leaked.”
The fire demon held tightly to the armrests of the chair he was sitting on.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the armrest.
‘Is there a traitor on our side?’
The Demonic Cult had planted several traitors in the Allied Forces.
Ban Seo-ho, the lord’s closest attendant.
And the Wall Sword Master, Wall Yunho.
Since it was a strategy they had used, there was no way the enemy would not have used an informant as well.
but…….
‘We can’t come now and try to find the traitor. If we’re not careful, there’s a high chance that the morale of the troops will be shaken.’
Of course, there were no traitors from the allied forces on the Demonic Cult side.
The reason the ambush force was defeated was simply because Youngsoo was stirring things up with his keen detection skills.
‘So what should we do now?’
At that time, the Demon King was so troubled.
“This is all-out war.”
At some point, Cheonma came into the barracks and spoke softly.
Everyone who saw the Heavenly Horse stood up, put their hands together, and bowed.
“Meet the leader!”
“Sit down.”
After everyone was seated, Cheonma opened his mouth.
“The greatest power of both the school and the Murim Alliance has gathered in one place. We have already come too far to change the course of history.”
“… … .”
“Gwan-ung.”
The Flame Demon Emperor Jeok Gwan-ung responded to the call of the Heavenly Horse.
“yes.”
“Tell me. What is the secret wish of our school?”
“It is revenge and salvation.”
“Tell me the details.”
“By destroying the Murim Alliance, we will achieve revenge and obtain salvation through the Blood Jade.”
“And both of them are before us. Do you intend to avoid them?”
The eyes of the fire demon grew wide.
“… Are you saying that there is a blood jade there?”
“If it weren’t for the Blood Jade, would there be any reason for the Murim Alliance to gather that many troops?”
“That’s… true, but… … .”
“Even if the Blood Jade is not here, it will not be a problem. If we can just annihilate the authors here, the remaining half of the Central Plains will become ours.”
“… … !”
Flutter-
Cheonma went out of the barracks and climbed up to the podium.
Before his eyes, an army of nearly 5,000 demonic cult members was gathered.
Cheonma opened his mouth.
“I won’t talk for long. Kill the enemy.”
“… … !”
“Go forward and complete our vengeance… … .”
Phage support-
Blue lightning flashed from Cheonma’s fingertips.
“…I will carve an indelible scar into the world.”
“Wow!!”
A thunderous, mad roar erupted.
Here too, the advance began.
* * *
Midway up Mt. Ogeom.
A flat land surrounded by mountains, with a tower in the middle.
The two armies gradually closed in on the tower.
In the east, the forces of the Allied Forces of the Jeongpa.
In the west, the forces of the Sun and Moon Sect.
Gather together.
They could tell without any explanation or speech.
This is an all-out war where the loser loses everything.
That’s why the words that came out of my mouth here were meaningless.
All arguments would be fought at the edge of a sword, and victory or defeat could only be decided by death.
Tension, fear, anger, madness, murder, ambition, fighting spirit.
As the two sides got closer, the emotional turmoil became more intense and uncontrollable.
The song soon turned into action.
The two feet that had been walking began to run.
My breathing became rough and my vision became narrow.
Now, their eyes were not able to see the surrounding scenery.
Clouds billowing, blue skies, pouring sunlight, winding mountains.
All the information that came into view was erased one by one, and only one object filled the field of vision.
Enemies.
All things that must be killed.
“Wow!!”
“Eww!!”
A cheer erupted.
Violence erupted.
The war has begun.
Kaaaaang!
The metallic noise of blades clashing echoed.
Sword, spear, fist, each, piece, and retreat.
All kinds of weapons and martial arts began to run wild.
A complete feast of slaughter unfolded, with no mercy whatsoever.
Stabbed and was stabbed.
Cut, cut.
Broke and shattered.
“Put the pressure down!”
Quagwagwagwa!!
Among those at the forefront of the allied forces, the one who stood out the most was Seok-cheol of the Jongnam faction.
What he wields is a very neat heavy sword.
It was a heavy and straight sword, unique to Jongnam.
A heavy sword energy, as if struck down by a giant iron pillar, shattered and shook the ranks of the Demonic Cult.
And of course, the demon cultists did not leave the offensive alone.
“Hit!!”
At the same time, five demon cultists rushed towards Seokcheol.
But Seok-cheol wasn’t flustered.
Because the heavy sword he showed off was actually a sword better for defense than offense.
The 36 Swords of the World.
A swordsmanship technique that perfectly stabs and cuts all thirty-six directions centered on oneself.
As Seok-cheol began to unleash the Thirty-Six Swords of Heaven, attacks from five directions were instantly blocked.
All attacks were bounced off, like a sword being used to cut through a castle wall.
But no matter how strong and thick a wall is, it can be destroyed by a thin vine that digs through the gaps.
Shhh!
Something sharp and curved dug into the gap of the Thirty-Six Swords of Heaven.
Phew!
It pierced Seok-cheol’s abdomen in one breath.
It was a whip.
A modified whip with a sharp piece of iron added to the end to increase penetrative power.
The end of the whip passed through his stomach and pierced his back.
“Keuk… … !”
Seok-cheol intuitively felt that he was finished.
But he didn’t put down the knife.
He gathered all his remaining strength and raised his sword.
For the final blow before death.
But the whipper was faster.
Fight!
The whipper cracked his whip hard.
The waves created by his fingertips ran along the whip stem.
And the destination of that wave is none other than the tip of the whip, inside Seok-cheol’s stomach.
The wave burst within the abdominal cavity.
puck!
No matter how hard you train, you can’t train your body.
Seok-cheol’s upper body burst and scattered like a balloon.
Blood mist scattering in all directions.
The lower half of his body, left alone, fell down like a piece of wood.
This was war.
Something where you can’t predict when or how death will come.
And it was the same with the whippersnapper.
Whirl!
After blowing away Seok-cheol’s upper body, the whip handler pulled hard and retrieved the whip.
The long whip stroke returned to him in an instant.
With something unexpected hanging on the end.
“What is that?!”
Shhh!
Someone was being dragged in while holding the end of a whip.
It was Youngsoo.
Before the whipping boy could even do anything, Youngsoo flew towards him in one breath.
and-
Crunch!
Yeongsu instantly cut off the whipper’s head.
The whipper ended up fishing for death with his own hands.
“Nasung!!”
The cultists rushed towards the killer, shouting the name of the whipper.
But by the time their swords arrived, Youngsoo was no longer there.
All that remains is the tragedy that Youngsoo left behind.
Shukak!
The demons fell, blood spurting from their vital points.
Leaving the freshly killed corpses behind, Yeongsu muttered.
“Where is that damned hottie?”
