Part 4: The Balance of the Scales

Empress.

The six swords of the former empress of the Hwangbo family.

Those swords, each with six different sword skills, were striking from all directions.

Can you let it all out?

does not exist.

Does that mean it can’t be stopped?

‘-no.’

“Huh…!”

‘I can stop it…!’

The vivid immortal energy containing the thunderous energy that defeated evil spirits flowed along the arms of the former martial arts leader, Wang Cheol-jin.

The Jeonjinpa (Jeonjinpa).

A thunderbolt.

Boom…! Kwakwakwakwak…!

His two arms stood firm against the Empress’s swords like a castle wall defending the Purple Palace in the sky.

“Huh…!”

The ground around me sank again, the impact enough to make my knees buckle.

Gooooooooo…!

By the secret method of the Jeonjinpa, the stronger the shock received, the more powerful the good energy boiled up inside him.

However, the former leader of the martial arts world, Wang Cheol-jin, was not an immortal who had escaped the shackles of material things.

His flesh, which had not been able to escape the karma of mortality, was suffering great damage from the good energy burning within and the evil energy pressing down on him from the outside.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH …

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH …

The face of the Empress, who had come close to the six swords and two arms, spat out a curse that bound the soul.

“Submit! Kneel! Worship!”

of course.

“… … .”

Even as he was covered in curses pouring down his face, a smile hung on the corners of the evil lips of the former martial arts leader Wang Cheol-jin.

“Now is the time, Sword Lord…!”

The Wudangpa’s Taecheong Jinin (太淸眞人) interrupted the Empress’s return to the stage in half the time and then disappeared.

And in that missing spot.

“Huhhhhhhhhhhhh…!”

The martial arts of the swordsman Dokmun.

Fragranceless sword knot.

Transcendent invitation style.

One thought, one moment, one sword.

The sword that had passed over the wall was once again reappearing in the hands of the swordsman.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!

of course.

This time too, without fail.

The newly sprouted mouth on the Empress’s back bit down on Geomgun’s sword without mercy.

“Shit…!”

Taecheong Jin-in cursed harshly even while trying to control his breathing, which was so rough that it felt like his throat was going to burst.

‘Damn it…! Primordial Heavenly Lord…!’

He turned his gaze away from the Empress’s back, which was quickly healed, and glanced at the condition of the swordsman.

“Hoo, hoo, hoo… .”

The swordsman’s breathing was rougher than Taecheongjin’s, and his complexion was clearly not good.

It was a natural thing.

But I couldn’t get over the wall by myself.

This is a swordsman who has repeatedly used his sword to overcome walls.

Even considering his long obsession with and dedication to the sword, it was a feat that could be called a miracle.

“You insignificant creatures, your existence is no more than a speck of dust in the universe, unable to even shine.”

Taecheongjin-in ground his teeth at the provocations uttered by the newly-minted empress.

“This fucking dog, the X of the world!”

“-Taecheongjinin.”

Before I knew it.

Former martial arts leader Wang Cheol-jin, who had retreated towards them, spoke while suppressing his blazing spirit.

“Keep calm. Control your breathing.”

“Ugh…!”

Taecheong Jinin took a deep breath and gripped his sword tightly.

It was natural that my arms, pushed to their limits, were shaking uncontrollably.

Even that obvious point made me angry.

‘Fuck, fuck, fuck…!’

Although the swordsman was opening up new doors, the empress’s actions of just taking his attacks with her body seemed like she was mocking and laughing at him.

“Honestly, Taecheong Jinin, isn’t it a bit strange to call him a martial artist?”

“Their unique political power and survival instincts are very impressive, but I’m not sure….”

soldier.

Yeah, I know.

Hey, that guy with the sword is a real unmanned vehicle.

“Look at them shamelessly walking around with their heads held high, claiming that they have covered it up through politics after suffering defeat in the North this time.”

“I can’t even imagine what kind of dirty promise I made to the Grand Duke of that sword family.”

“Tsk. To the Taecheongjin people, even war was nothing more than a place to make connections and engage in politics.”

Things I actually heard.

Even the whispers behind his back that he had imagined were in the back of his mind.

[strength…!]

From that deep, dark place, I felt ‘whispers’ creeping up like insects.

[Do you want power…?]

Why did Grand Duke Yeon So-hyeon give him a chance?

of course.

It may not be because of his unmanned appearance.

“Taecheongjinin…?”

The Pure Eye of the Jeonjinpa (全眞派) caught the shadow of Taecheongjinin, and the former martial arts leader Wang Cheoljin immediately.

I tried to wake him up by hitting his shoulder with my hand full of energy.

but.

“Leader…!”

The swordsman’s cry.

“The ancient capital is submerged in water!”

“The ancient capital will burn!”

“All souls will burn in the flames of eons!”

That moment.

The Empress came in madly attacking the leader who had exposed his weakness.

“this…?!”

Kang! Kakakakakakakang…!

In an instant, dozens of attacks were exchanged, including the swordsman who intervened to save them, sending sparks flying into the air and causing the ground to sink even further.

But even in the midst of all that chaos, the eyes of the former martial arts leader Wang Cheol-jin were searching for the figure of Taecheong Jin-in.

‘Taecheongjinin is…?!’

“… … .”

The appearance of Taecheongjinin, blankly staring into space.

“… … ?!”

The former martial arts leader Wang Cheol-jin, who was shocked by the sight, shouted at the Hwasan faction’s swordsmen.

“Sword King, Taecheong Jinin-!”

at that time.

A roar erupted from Taecheongjinin.

“Stop talking such fucking nonsense, you fucking demonic seed…!”

Hwaruk.

Unlike the harsh swearing.

In the eyes of Taecheongjinin, who was raising his sword, a straight and clear crystal light was shining brightly.

“Even if I get cursed at behind my back by those fucking assholes! Even if this fucking body gets old and I have to do it today or tomorrow…!”

The burning sword energy surrounding his sword was still the same, and his realm was also the same.

“My fucking life and my fucking death! It’s all mine, completely mine aaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”

His spirit was so strong that the Empress instinctively took a few steps back.

“flaw…!”

Even Wang Cheol-jin’s expressionless face couldn’t help but show a smile.

“Taecheongjinin is….”

The swordsman took advantage of the brief moment of opportunity to control his ragged breathing and smile.

“Even at that age, he is still the rebel of rebels.”

The swordsman was in awe.

How can a person maintain such a rebellious spirit even after gaining power and rising to that position?

‘maybe….’

Perhaps Grand Duke Yeon So-hyeon highly valued his rebellious nature.

“… Good.”

Former martial arts leader Wang Cheol-jin violently circulated his burning energy that seemed to burn his entire body and headed towards the empress.

He made a gesture.

“Come, Demon Cultist.”

Behind him, the volcano’s sword army and the shaman’s Taecheongjinin are again present.

He raised his sword high again.

“I forgot what round it is now, but we’re still a long way from being finished.”

* * *

The dark underground.

“Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Koooooooooooooooo…!”

Down.

Down.

“I resent it…! It’s so frustrating…!”

“Curse you…! Our grudge…!”

Down again.

Below that.

“Mom…! Help me, Mom…!”

“Son…! Bring this mother back to life…!”

usually.

Luoyang’s underground aqueduct is incredibly deep.

But it wasn’t this deep.

“Brother!”

Crunch…!

The sword held by the leader of the Je-ma-myeol-sa-dae (制魔滅邪隊) without a single moment of hesitation.

The head of a little girl who was running towards him was pierced.

“Keeeeeek?!”

“ohm(?)-.”

A blessing flowed from his mouth, and he swung his sword down, cutting open the girl’s body.

“father…!”

“Master…!”

In terrifying darkness.

The dead came rushing in from all sides, bringing back memories of pain and regret, but the warriors of the Je-ma-myeol-sa-dae did not hesitate.

“ohm(?)—-.”

“ohm(?)—–.”

All their most precious ones are dead.

By the propagation of the devil’s religion.

Or, by countless cults that are motivated by money and such.

They’re all dead.

So, no matter what comes with what face.

“ohm(?)—-.”

“ohm(?)—–.”

No matter what sounds in your head.

“I am Buddha. I am salvation. I am Maitreya. Take my hand.”

“Do you want to know how to bring them back? How to turn back time-.”

It’s all lies.

“Be aware.”

The leader of the Jema Myulsa Daejo takes one step.

And with one step, he cut down the approaching lions, and with another step, he said:

“This is not hell, but where we walk is hell. We have already chosen to fall into hell ourselves.”

Could it be that among those they burned, there were no innocent people?

Among those they had slain with their swords, were there not some good people who had only been momentarily deluded?

Wasn’t there room for rehabilitation for all those they killed?

“Kill the evil, kill the devil, and kill us.”

The underground is endless?

What can I do?

Originally, the bottomless pit of hell had no floor.

“ohm(?)—-.”

“ohm(?)——.”

“There is no salvation for us.”

Even if they all go down here until the last one dies.

At least that much.

Wouldn’t you like to save those on earth?

“We are the salvation of all the rest.”

* * *

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!

Part of the ceiling collapsed due to the artillery fire from Sapaecheon, and government troops were buried under the debris.

“Kwaaaaak…!”

“mother…!”

Phew-!

The sword of the acting head of the Seo family was stuck in the abdomen of an elite sailor from Sapaechon who was trying to scratch his own face.

“Hang in there…!”

She kicked the venom-spitting elite sailor of the Saphaecheon River until his last moment, bursting his intestines, and shouted at the government troops trapped in the rubble.

“I’ll take it out now…! Just hold on a little longer-!”

at that time.

“Hehehehehehehe…!”

“It’s a hole…! If you see a hole, you have to crawl into it to be a man…!”

In this heavy rain.

Even in that fierce wind.

The sailors of Sapacheon, who had managed to climb up the cliff with their bare hands, began to surge through the breached wall like spider broods.

Kwaaaaaaaang…!

As the merciless artillery fire of the Sapaecheon continued, the elite sailors who had crawled through the holes were turned into pieces of meat and scattered.

but.

“Ohhh…!”

“The hole got wider…! It got wider…! Kikkikkik…!”

“Come in! Let’s go in…!”

The elite of Sapacheon, who were clearly not in their right minds, pushed forward with their eyes rolled back even further.

“Damn, grain…!”

Once upon a time.

The enemies who were intoxicated by the dirty elixir that was circulating in the underworld of Luoyang were more terrible than the dead who had no reason.

“Ah, ahhh…!”

The sight of them rushing in and seeking to slaughter was so horrible that the government troops manning the guns began to retreat.

“Don’t let go!”

“You must not back down! Fight until you die!”

“I must protect my hometown and my family!”

However, most of them came to their senses and returned to their original positions at the shouts of the platoon leaders who had drawn their swords.

“Ugh, ughhhh…!”

An ominous sound was heard among the government troops who were completely consumed by fear.

“Ahhh, I don’t want to die…!”

Ugh.

A young martial artist began to spray black magic energy through the holes in his face.

“I don’t want to die in a place like this! Euaaaahhhhh-!”

Crunch-!

What cut off his head in one fell swoop was none other than a giant sword the size of a young man.

“Elder Yeom…!”

Elder Yeom, whose whole body was covered in the blood of the dead, swung his huge sword and cut the elite of Sapaecheon to pieces, then said:

“Outside, support has arrived just in time.”

“Are you saying that it’s support?! Could it be that you’re from the main family of the Luoyang Sword Family-?!”

“no.”

Elder Yeom answered, laying down his sword with an expression that showed no signs of fatigue.

“The number of lions spewing out has decreased due to the Jema-Malsa-Dae that has entered the underground waterway. This has given the government soldiers and volunteers some leeway.”

He waved his arms lightly.

Every time his greatsword flashed, pieces of enemy flesh flew in all directions.

How can a giant sword move so freely in this low-ceilinged fortress?

How come this man swinging that huge block of iron never gets tired?

“I am Geomakgakpasan (Sword Breaking Mountain)…!”

* * *

“In front of the Central Government Complex, a fierce battle is underway…!”

“Ojak-ro! We are successfully blocking the enemies at Ojak-ro…!”

“Luoyang Front…! Maintaining balance…!”

Fierce but positive developments.

“Okay, great. You guys are doing a great job.”

Yeon So-hyeon, who was expressing satisfaction while listening to those reports, suddenly.

He raised his head into the air and asked with a smile as if he was talking to someone beyond.

“Aren’t you starting to get anxious now?”
