Reincarnation of the Demon - Chapter 76
Only Noblemtl
The area around the collapsed pavilion was a mess. There were those who drew their weapons and blocked the area like the True Demons when they saw the escape of the Meng Dogs, but now they were all busy fighting the black-clad demons.
“What, what is it!”
“It’s a surprise attack!”
The skin of the black-clad minions was extremely pale, and their murderous faces were expressionless.
Most of them were expressionlessly swinging their swords and killing the surrounding civilians, and Yongwoon could tell who they were by smelling them.
Blood Corpse. A sorcery that causes Blood Cult members who have been fed blood insects to lose their senses and turn them into corpses, using them as weapons.
The method of manufacturing weapons of the Blood Cult, which caused considerable trouble for the sect members at the time of the sect’s destruction, was in the hands of the vampire spirit of the Mengjian Group.
Most of the people who had gathered in the chaos were focusing their energies on dealing with the blood gangsters. The blood gangsters, whose skills ranged from Samhwachwijeong to Naehwanhwan, were all killing civilians indiscriminately without any regard for their own health, so everyone’s attention was drawn to them.
Unlike them.
For a moment, those who were called the Four Knights froze. Yongwoon’s sudden proposal was enough to stop their steps.
“…What does that mean?”
Bukhyeop Ho Maeng-jin, who had never spoken before, opened his mouth for the first time and asked. As expected. Yong-un said with a smile on his face.
“Can’t we just take it literally? Honestly, if it weren’t for you, I would have torn off the head of the Vicious Dogs long ago. In that case, wouldn’t it be possible to say that I have already saved their life once?”
It was true. Even if the Blind Dogs had become monsters, they would not have been able to delay their death.
“Then isn’t your life-saving work already over? Don’t you think you’ve done enough as a swordsman for Mine?”
“Ha! I don’t think I can win-”
“Jang Ah, wait a moment.”
“…Brother Ho! What do you mean!”
Jang Mi-ri looked at Ho-maeng-jin with eyes of disbelief.
“It was you, Seon-ui, who saved us just before we were about to be branded as villains and killed by the Shandong Revolutionary Party! How could we turn away from your kindness!”
“What favor have we betrayed? As the Yeomcheonseong clan leader said, didn’t we buy enough time for good intentions to run away?”
Hyeop (俠). That will does not contain the essence of jeong (正), but everything about jeongpa (正派). This is because the jeongpa (正派) is filled with people who live for their own selfish desires, not with a pure spirit.
Shandong Five Swordsmen. When they saw an evil deed, they brandished their weapons to punish anyone, regardless of whether they were a famous sect or not. Shandong Heoga was a famous sect that had been living in Shandong for hundreds of years, while True Demon Swordsmen Wu Janghan was just a young Taoist who had only entered the Yihamcheonkyung.
Just before they were about to die, Seon-ui, who happened to be in Shandong, came to their aid and protected them. It was a predictable story. Although it was unknown why he, a member of the Mengjiandan and a mine, protected them, it was obvious that he was a lifesaver.
Although they were siblings who had lived together for several years and relied on each other, they were completely ignorant of the human mind. Even if they were a close-knit family, there was no way all five of them would think the same way.
Buk-hyeop looked around him and closed his eyes tightly. He was proud of his nickname, Buk-hyeop.
But now, the only people who share their views are monsters who have lost their sense of reason and are scattering magic energy.
How can someone who holds the same views as them be called a chivalrous person?
“…Brother Ho. Are you saying that you will go against Brother Oh’s words now?”
Jamryu Geom Cheon Shin-jan asked Buk-hyeop with the same expressionless face he always had. Yong-un laughed inwardly. This was because he saw Buk-hyeop’s eyebrows twitch.
“Oh, we’re just family. That sounds like Jang Han giving me an order.”
The air current was becoming increasingly strange.
Even though they were both swordsmen, the meaning of chivalry was different for each person, and whether or not that chivalry was completely pure and unrelated to fame and fame also differed.
The first thing that comes to mind is how to treat Mine. How far should I go to show my gratitude to Mine, who saved my life?
Hanam is the holy land of the Jeongpa. Even at this moment, if a master of the highest level that they can handle appears, even the Shandong Five Gorges will be subdued in the blink of an eye.
Honor has already fallen to the ground. Is there any reason to move further for Mine here?
“I… think what Brother Maeng Jin said is right.”
The youngest of the Bulgulhyeol clan, Wangsam, gulped and spoke. He glanced at Yongwoon as he spoke, and Yongwoon could see some of the jealousy in him.
“Haven’t you already done everything you had to do? The Jeongpa Alliance is probably still pursuing you, so put away your weapons now and-”
“You still want resonance.”
Jang Mi-ri glared at Wang Sam with a murderous look. Wang Sam flinched but did not let go.
It was all expected. Most people had already heard of the letter of salvation sent by the Mengjian Group.
Abok, Socheonhong. Even as he left Hanam, he kept his ears close to Seonui, and in that way, the owners of the letters he had sent, and their details, were all reported to Yongwoon in just one day.
The Northern and Southern Twin Heroes, Ho Maeng-jin and the True Horse Hero Oh Jang-han, were sworn brothers. Ho Maeng-jin’s martial arts were more advanced and he was older, but their achievements were soon reversed.
The North-South Twin Gorges became the Shandong Five Gorges, and the Chammadou Gorges became their face.
Even if it wasn’t the current situation, all relationships were visible in Yongwoon’s mind.
Jang Mi-ri, who pursues her own path. Ho-maeng-jin, who is gradually becoming more and more impressed by his brother’s high achievements.
Cheon Rin-jan, a former assassin who was influenced by the True Magic Swordsman and listened to his words more faithfully than any of his siblings, is familiar with the chain of command.
Wang Sam, who longs for the life of a true swordsman and dreams of the life of a swordsman, or rather, the life of a ‘famous’ swordsman.
The confrontational structure was self-evident. Buk-hyeop and Bulgul-hyeol-do, Pae-geuk-kwae-nyeo and Jam-ryu-geom. It had changed like this with just one word from Yong-un.
I will support you even if just one person does not participate. I said that, but there was no way I could give up just one person. They are siblings who move as one, and I realized right away that if even one person is missing from the list of successful candidates, it would be difficult to handle Yongun.
An ambiguous atmosphere. It was a conflict like never before. Because there was no way to punish the clear villain.
When Buk-hyeop expressionlessly uncrossed his arms and Jang Mi-ri and Cheon Rin-jan glared at him with their teeth clenched, the rebuke came from somewhere else.
“What are you doing now!”
Noh Ho-seong. The Cham-ma-do-hyeop shouted at them, looking even more tattered.
As the war of attrition stopped for a moment due to the True Magic Sword, the outlines of the masters that had been entangled in a halo appeared in reality.
Baek-roe-jang’s left hand, drenched in sweat and panting, was completely tattered and covered in wounds, his appearance was hideous, and Seom-jeon-kwae-geom’s clothes were also burned as if he had been struck by lightning in the center of his chest.
The Guardian of the Law, Seom Jeon-kwae-geom. While facing two of the same Cheon-yeong-i-gyeong, he was on par, if not even slightly superior.
“Why on earth would a family have to fight like that!”
“Ah! Isn’t this enough? Look around! How can someone who shares the same views as that be called a warrior?”
“older brother!”
Even though Chammadohyeop clenched his teeth and tried to shout, his mouth did not open easily.
Cham-ma (斬魔). That was his nickname. Since he was supporting Min-in, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
I heard everything Yongwoon said. I couldn’t help but be moved. If I continued like this… I couldn’t help but feel humiliated.
[Dharma Guardian. Listen without changing your expression.]
Yongwoon sent a short message. Seomjeon Kwaigeom listened to the message even while catching his breath.
[Okay.]
‘…Is Yeomcheonseong a black demon?’
Although it was information that could only be inferred, Seomjeon Kwaigeom decided to follow Yongun’s words for now.
“True Demon. If you stop your siege immediately, I will help you as well.”
“!!!”
This is a proposal that is even more appealing to Gumi. Yeom Cheon-seong and the head of the Hobeop Party. The head of the Hobeop Party has a greater position within the Jeongpa Alliance.
It is self-evident that if the Shandong Five Swordsmen are held responsible for the escape of the Meng Jian Guan, the Guardians will be able to exert more influence.
Baek Roe-jang’s expression distorted. He was in a different situation from the True Horse Association. He had killed a nobleman from the Jeongpa clan who had washed his face with gold powder. The fact that the Meng Jian Dan would spread that fact was even more frightening than being held accountable by the Jeongpa Alliance right now.
At least if you help the dog gang escape, you won’t suffer a horrible death with your limbs torn apart.
Looking at the hesitant Baek Roe-jang, Seom Jeon-kwae-geom spoke as if he had been waiting for it.
“I don’t know what your secret is, but isn’t it something that only the Meng Dogs know?”
The white lightning bolt stopped.
“His martial arts skills are worse than that of that Yeomcheonseong Sohyeop in my opinion. I won’t ask you anything, so how about you help me kill him? How about you help me pursue him?”
Baek-roe-jang gritted his teeth. The reason he hadn’t done so earlier was because he didn’t have the confidence to break through the True Magic Sword and kill the Meng-gyeon-dan before they could open their mouths.
The True Magic Sword will not follow the pursuit of the Blind Dogs. If it is with the Seomjeon Kwai Sword…
‘Damn, since that guy has already given up, I can’t beat him with the Seomjeon Kwai Sword.’
“…Okay.”
Baek Roe-jang reluctantly nodded. There really was no other way now.
Kung! Even the True Demon Swordsman withdrew his internal energy, and the fierce woman swung her pole vigorously as if she was annoyed. She glared at Yongwoon without saying anything and then moved. At first glance, it seemed like she was planning to take out her anger by killing Hyulgangsi.
The eyes of the North Korean leader who was looking at the back of the figure wavered slightly. There was a crack in the Five Heroes. That was an obvious fact.
“Are you okay?”
“yes.”
“Go straight there.”
As he watched Seomjeon Kwaigeom and Yeomcheonseong gather together and leave, Buk-hyeop blurted out a word to Yong-un, feeling resentful for no reason.
“Wouldn’t it have been better if you had proposed before the fight?”
Yongwoon looked back at him and smiled.
“I wanted to personally experience the weather and the invisible.”
The eyes of the North Korean leader grew wide. That means, right now, he is trying to use him as a training partner-
“…So, what are your thoughts?”
When Buk-hyeop, who had gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation, asked like this, Yong-un nodded.
“I think I can win.”
I was sincere.
Because if they didn’t accept my offer, I was going to kill them all.
**
“Did you really have to say that?”
Seomjeon Kwai-geom, who was moving while unfolding his lightness, spoke while looking at Yong-un. Originally, Cheonyeong-i-gyeong and Yong-un, who had not yet mastered lightness, should have been faster than him, but they were adjusting their speed to calm down the internal injuries they had sustained while fighting each other.
Because the underpass was narrow, there were also times when it was difficult to move around properly.
Yongwoon, who was following the magic that was stuck on the floor like filth, shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s a conflict that already arose anyway. If the authors of these stories are truly swordsmen, they’ll forget about it, but if not, it’s just adding a little more to the resentment that already existed.”
Baek-roe-jang smiled faintly. He had no ill feelings toward Yong-un. Rather, as a fellow ronin, he wanted to take care of him a little.
“I thought about it carefully. The enemy and the ally must be clearly distinguished. Isn’t that why they hesitated so much?”
‘He doesn’t seem like a deeply entrenched political person either.’
Yongwoon nodded.
Seomjeon Kwaigeom, who had been thinking complicatedly about Yongwoon’s future treatment, looked around and let out a sigh.
Although it is the end of Hanam, it is Hanam. It was a sigh of relief at the meticulousness of the Blind Dog Group who dug underground tunnels like this and hid the Blood Gangsi, a being that would be horrified by all human beings.
“The political party is shaking greatly…”
From the Hwangryongmun to the Mengjyeondan, it was only a matter of time before it was revealed that one of the leaders was a demon who harmed and ate people.
“It smells like blood.”
Yongwoon spoke first. Baekroejang and Seomjeon Kwaigeom could smell the scent of blood only after he spoke. They looked at Yongwoon in surprise.
A sense that can accurately distinguish the scent of blood from far away in an underground passage filled with the pungent smell of dust.
Yongwoon nodded.
“You see over there- um.”
His words stopped, and the two of them looked forward in surprise once again.
A single severed head lying in the exact center of the underpass.
It was the neck of a vampire.
