Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 137
Only Noblemtl
Episode 137
The Tian Shan Mountains, also known as the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
A village at the eastern end of that place.
A young man entered there.
The young man knew everyone in the village.
Because I once begged in this town.
But no one among the villagers recognized the young man.
Could it be because the young man’s appearance has changed so much over the past three years?
Or maybe I just wasn’t interested enough to remember it in the first place.
It didn’t matter.
It didn’t matter whether it remained in the minds of people who would disappear anyway.
The young man’s name is Lee Gye-dong.
After escaping from Uiryeong Valley, Gye-dong walked for several weeks to get to this village.
Gye-dong crossed the bridge where he had taken shelter from the rain during his days as a beggar and headed to the inn.
And then he sat down in front of a man who was drinking alone and said:
“It’s strange. There are no beggars anywhere in this village.”
“Beggar? Gosh, it’s been a while since there were any beggars around here.”
“What do you mean?”
“Huh? Aren’t you out catching beggars too?”
“yes?”
“There were people who would pay you a lot of money if you caught a beggar and gave it to them. So beggar hunting became popular for a while. Didn’t you know?”
“Ah… I see.”
“Besides, this is a place that cannot be reached by the hand of the open, so it is comfortable because there is no aftermath. Well, that is all in the past.”
“Thank you for the explanation.”
Bam!
Gye-dong grabbed the man by the neck.
“Ugh… … ! What are you… … !”
“Don’t you remember me?”
“what……?!”
“I am the beggar you caught and sold.”
“… … !”
The man tried to pull the knife out of his waistband.
But Gye-dong was faster.
Electricity shot out from Gye-dong’s fingertips.
Dismissed!
“Ugh!”
The shocked man dropped the knife and began to convulse all over his body.
Gyedong asked.
“How much did you get for selling me?”
“Ugh… Huh… … .”
“With the money you earned from selling me, you bought alcohol, bought food, and fed your family. Were you happy?”
“Ugh… … .”
“Now it’s time to pay.”
Crunch.
Gye-dong snapped the man’s neck.
There were gasps and screams of shock all around.
“What the heck is that kid?!”
“Kill him!!”
Some of them drew their swords and rushed towards Gye-dong.
But Gye-dong was indifferent.
Just muttering calmly.
“The one who sold me, the one who got happy with the money from the sale, the one who watched the sale, the family, friends, neighbors of all those people… .”
“This kid… … !!”
“… Everyone dies here.”
That day, a village was erased from the map.
Gye-dong killed every human being in the village, regardless of gender, age, or sexual orientation.
This was the beginning.
The killing of escapees began all over Central Plains.
They began to unleash their unfiltered anger on the world.
A bloody wind blows throughout the Central Plains.
Moo-gang’s prediction came true.
However, neither the martial arts world nor the government could prevent or stop this in advance.
Because the escapees moved sporadically and in individual units, tracking them was nearly impossible.
Plus, the power they used was called magic.
Because of the mysterious phenomena it causes, it is very difficult to subdue it even when encountered directly.
After all that bloody fighting.
Those who had completed their revenge began to gather at the eastern end of Sipmandaesan as promised.
To the village that Gyedong erased from the map.
Gye-dong welcomes them there and creates a religious group, and he himself becomes the leader.
This is the Ilwol Shinkyo.
It was the moment when the group known in the world as the Demonic Cult was born.
* * *
This wasn’t the only bloody wind blowing in the Central Plains.
While the cultists were taking revenge here and there, massacres were being committed on the other side.
Suddenly, without any reason, people from several villages were killed in droves.
The perpetrator of this massacre was the relics.
It was because I was going crazy because of the screams that kept bursting out in my head.
The massacre of the enemy continued even when the cultists’ acts of revenge temporarily stopped.
People began to call such relics ‘blood horses’.
In the sense that it is a monster that kills people by spraying their blood and sucks their blood to use as strength.
Eventually, the relics designated as public sites of the martial arts world began to be pursued in earnest by the martial arts world.
Naturally, the demon cultists also started chasing the ruins.
There were a few clashes like that.
The great incident in which Mu-gang, who was the best shaman and the head of the shaman clan, fought and was defeated by the blood demon also occurred around that time.
But at some point, the blood horse’s massacre came to an abrupt end.
There were many rumors going around about this.
The secret assassination of the Jeongpa killed the Blood Demon, or the Blood Demon committed suicide because it could not withstand its own strength.
But all those guesses were wrong.
The blood horse stopped its rampage on its own.
And the reason, ironically, was guilt.
The blood of his test subjects is also present in the blood of the Blood Demon.
Because of this, even their memories began to replay in the Blood Demon’s head.
Every day in his dreams, the Blood Demon began to experience the same things that those who had been experimented on by him had experienced.
No matter how insensitive and inhumane a person may be, he cannot help but sympathize with the pain he feels firsthand.
Only then did he begin to regret what he had done.
The biological experiments he conducted.
Even the massacres committed by one’s own hands.
Only after experiencing the suffering of those who had suffered did he begin to realize what sin was.
However, it was nearly impossible to completely destroy the blood jade.
Because the blood jade regenerates immediately if there is even a small amount of blood.
Eventually, he decided to extract the blood jade from his body and seal it in a place unknown to anyone.
First of all, I used every means at my disposal to scrape together a huge amount of Eternal Iron.
After that, he went to the abandoned temple site, Hoeryongsa Temple, built a pagoda with iron bars and sealed his blood jade inside.
Afterwards, the exterior was covered with bricks to disguise it as an abandoned tower.
This whole process took a long time, and was carried out by the hands of one person at the site.
After the extraction and sealing of the blood jade was completed.
Jeokso left Hoeryeongsa Temple and started walking somewhere.
His footsteps headed west.
To the place where the main temple of the Sun and Moon Sect is located.
There the enemy intended to kill them.
That was how he thought of atonement for his sins.
But that goal was not achieved.
In a certain village, Jeokso is beaten to death by thugs.
It is not certain whether he got caught up in a fight between thugs or did something wrong to the thugs.
What is certain is that he did not offer even the slightest resistance until the moment of his death.
In this way, the blood horse ended its life on the market floor.
Afterwards, a large-scale search operation for the Blood Prison is launched, and two great battles of the Pure Horse are fought.
And in the end, Cheonma and Mugang died at the hands of Yeongsu.
And as Hyeol-ok becomes Young-soo’s possession, the story begins to flow to a new direction again.
* * *
“after…….”
Youngsoo opened his eyes.
Blood horse, Heavenly horse, and Mugang.
The strongest people who once dominated the martial arts world.
The memories intertwined between the three of them passed by like a storm.
As the memory playback finished, Youngsoo’s headache also stopped for a while.
Youngsoo muttered.
“…I have to go back now.”
First, I had to return to the headquarters of the Murim Alliance and take care of the map of Mugang.
This is also the case when it comes to unlocking the truth about Uiryeonggok.
But before that-
“We can’t go on like this.”
All sorts of screams were still bursting out in Youngsu’s head.
In addition, the memories of those who were sucked began to flow into my head.
If this symptom is left untreated, it is only natural that Youngsu will end up like a blood demon.
It was a serious situation, but Youngsoo already had a way to deal with it.
First, I gathered the blood flowing throughout my body towards the blood jade.
After that.
Yeah-
I took the holy sword out of my inventory.
Kiing!
And the blood jade was completely covered with the Holy Sword’s protective shield.
So that the blood energy does not leak out of the blood jade.
As soon as the shield was completed, the headache caused by the blood flow disappeared as if it had been washed away.
The screams that had been plaguing my head disappeared in an instant.
By confining the blood energy within the blood jade, the side effects of the blood energy are eliminated.
“…good.”
In this way, the Holy Sword controls the side effects of the Blood Jade, and the Blood Jade is responsible for the Holy Sword’s massive energy consumption.
This was the synergy created by the combination of the Holy Sword and Blood Jade.
Furthermore, this was the reason why you had to obtain both of these items in order to fully utilize them.
‘And if is added to this combination… … .’
It’s truly the trinity.
By getting there, you will have access to the maximum amount of firepower an individual can wield.
And you have to get your hands on the mechanical heart… … .
‘You can stop the King of Destruction who will descend at the end.’
Youngsoo got up from his seat.
“Shall we go and see?”
So, Youngsoo started on his way back.
* * *
A village near the headquarters of the Murim Alliance.
Yeongsu sat down under the tree, breathing heavily.
“This is fucking hard, damn it.”
Yeongsu had been running from Hoeryeongsa Temple to here using only light air techniques.
The problem is that the blood energy is temporarily sealed inside the blood jade, so it cannot be used at will.
So, I was exhausted from using up all my remaining mana and stamina.
“I should have brought more Matan… Ha… … .”
Even the Matan was completely used up during the war.
Besides, the distance from Hoeryongsa Temple to the headquarters of the Murim Alliance was farther than expected.
‘I didn’t realize it because I was sleeping in a barrel when I left… Damn.’
Anyway, I arrived.
however…….
“hungry.”
It wasn’t just that I was hungry, I was out of fuel.
I’m in a state where I can’t even walk if I don’t eat anything.
Yeongsu dragged himself into a nearby guest house.
“welcome.”
Yeongsu handed Jeomso a small piece of gold.
It was taken from the pocket of the dead Mu-gang.
“Give me some food for the price. No alcohol.”
“… … !”
Jeomsoi’s eyes widened.
A gold piece of this size would have been enough to feed all the guests in this inn and still have some left over.
“Uh, uh, uh… what kind of thing?!”
“Something high in calories.”
“What is a calorie?”
“It’s delicious.”
“All right!!”
The chef who saw the gold piece also had his eyes wide open and started to hurriedly take out the ingredients.
Before long, a sumptuous feast was laid out on Yeongsu’s table.
All meat dishes are fried, roasted, and stir-fried.
Looking at what came out, it seemed like the chef understood Youngsu’s request properly.
“Then shall we try it?”
I started to inhale the mountain of food that was piled up like a mountain.
Everyone’s attention was focused on him, but Youngsoo didn’t care.
The plates were emptied in an instant, and the table was quickly filled with new dishes.
Only after the table was refilled three times did Youngsu put down his spoon.
“I ate well.”
Yeongsu, who was now feeling a little better, stretched out his arms.
Then I looked around the inside of the guest house.
Moderate noise, moderate energy.
A daily scene where everyone drinks and eats, pays for their food, and leaves.
It was peaceful.
Could a guest house be this peaceful?
‘… It’s mostly peaceful, with only the occasional fight.’
It’s just that the fight broke out where I was.
Anyway, after filling his stomach, Yeongsu went out of the guest house.
There was no longer the same tension in the streets.
That’s understandable, since all the warriors of the Murim Alliance who had been extorting money for protection money and such have now died.
So the merchants and citizens were enjoying this power vacuum to the fullest.
‘I just don’t know how long it will take.’
The Murim Alliance has been swept away, but the Sapa and the Black Swords still remain.
It was possible that they might try to fill the void left by the Murim Alliance.
But anyway, I created a gap until then.
‘I gave you a chance.’
From now on, it was up to people’s choice.
Or create a new system for yourself where you won’t be persecuted.
Or go back to the old days.
With these thoughts in mind, Youngsoo went to the main gate of the Murim Alliance headquarters.
The servants of the Murim Alliance who recognized Youngsu were surprised and said.
“Left, Left General! How is it here… … ?”
“I came first because something came up. I’m going in.”
“Yes? Oh, yes.”
Yeongsu headed straight to the main building where Mu-gang’s office was located.
Because I had to take care of the things I was going to do there.
However, those guarding the pavilion stopped Youngsu.
“You cannot enter this place without the permission of the leader.”
“He’s dead.”
“yes?”
Phew!
Yeongsu quickly subdued them with a sharp sword and then entered Mu-gang’s office.
