< Episode 111: Spirit (3) >
The southern tip of Xing County west of Shanxi Province.
There a strange war was going on over a huge manor.
Of course this was not a fight between people that is between humans.
On one side were the martial arts people and on the other side there were beings with strange shapes that were not even beasts and they were called strange creatures or imaemangryang (魑魅魍魎).
-Kwaaaa!
There were a variety of strange monsters including Lee Ma-mang-ryang who sprayed poisonous mist from his mouth moved with agile movements as if performing a light attack and tore apart his body with his long claws.
Even though they were terrifying beings just to look at the humans that is the martial arts people were not pushed back by them at all and instead were pushing back with overwhelming power.
Their number alone seems to be around two thousand.
There were flags raised everywhere on the martial arts side and by looking at them you could guess what kind of group they were.
[邪連盟]
[two masters]
[Five Lord]
[Six Masters]
Federation of Federation.
It was one of the forces that divided the current martial arts world into three and was a group created by combining the remaining forces of the old martial arts group and the current martial arts faction.
Three of the leaders of the Four Leagues took part in this war.
Lee Maeng-ju Geumche Invincible (金體無敵) Sea Area Member Oh Maeng-ju Sura Seomdo (修羅殲刀) Yugyeong Yuk Maengju Samilgeom (邪謐劍) and Gisaman were the only ones.
Among them Lee Maeng-ju Hae-yeok-won was also a member of Palseong (八星) who is called the highest leader of the current martial arts world.
How did these outstanding super experts of the Four Leagues League end up fighting with these idiots?
It was for just one person.
-Shoooooooo!
“Waaaaaa!”
“It’s Jinhyeolgeumcheda!”
The warriors of the Four Leagues cheered at the sight of a large middle-aged man whose entire body’s muscles were bulging brown and steam was emanating from his entire body.
“joy!”
-bang!
The middle-aged man kicked the floor launched a new weapon and hit the head of the giant Lee Mae-mang-ryang which looked like a mixture of a tiger and a wild boar with both fists.
Immediately Immaengryang’s head was crushed and he fell down with his chin on the floor.
“Hehehe. He was just big. “It’s no big deal.”
The name of this muscular middle-aged man with a messy beard was Hae-yeok-won.
He was one of the main figures of the Four Leagues enough to receive the title of Eight Saints.
At that time an imamangryang with nimble movements ran up behind the smiling marine worker.
at that moment
-Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chak!
Someone flew in and opened a flash-like sword with both hands splitting the body of another Lee Ma-mangyang into dozens of pieces.
-Tutu tutuk!
“Don’t let your guard down. “Sea leader.”
“I knew you would save me. “Yoo-kyung.”
“You speak well.”
A long-haired man holding a sword in both hands smiling and laughing.
He was also a member of Sura Island the five major states of the Four Leagues Alliance.
These two people had one thing in common: they were from the Old Blood Religion which was the most powerful religion in the Nine Murim region.
-Churrrrr! Papa pa paak!
“omg!”
“What is this?”
At that time the roots of the trees near them grew longer on their own binding the warriors of the Four Leagues to prevent them from moving.
The warriors were perplexed and tried to cut it off but the tree roots kept coming up and surrounding them even more.
Yu-kyung clicked her tongue at this sight.
“Huh. “I guess this is also a drinking method.”
-Pot! Okay!
Oh Maeng-ju and Yu-gyeong used a new weapon to cut down the tree that could be said to be the center of the tree’s roots.
When the large old tree lost its strength and fell Yugyeong burned the tree using the method of samadhijinhwa (三昧眞fire) just in case.
-Roaring!
The tree whose roots were moving as if it were alive fell and burned as if in pain.
“It’s bizarre.”
“Damn it!”
Yu-kyung heard a sound coming from the direction of the manor and turned her head towards it.
There I saw radiants holding a talisman and making a hand sign.
‘I thought it would be an easy fight but it’s actually quite annoying.’
He was just wondering why they had asked for their help in fighting a group of radiators.
However when I actually met them they were definitely different from ordinary radiologists.
It was said that it was a group led by the best teacher one of the six out of the Sixty-Four Gates of Bangwon and it was truly a legend.
He used Imaemangyang who were stronger than most martial artists as food spirits and used bizarre techniques to embarrass the warriors.
Of course there were some monsters here that even these imamangryangs and radiants couldn’t move.
“Khahahaha!”
-Munch!
Hae-yeok-won broke the two horns of the charging red bull-shaped Lee Ma-mangyang.
No that wasn’t enough so I lifted it up and threw it back.
-bang!
Marine officer Lee Maeng-ju was exactly this type.
As long as he uses Jinhyeol Geumche a German fortune telling technique he is almost invincible so the martial people called him Geumche Invincible (金體無敵).
After the day of the Great Disaster the days of Gu Murim were forgotten by everyone but Hae-yeok-won’s Hae-ga could be said to be a prestigious shaman to the extent that there was a rumor that he had produced the best man in the world in the past.
-Ch-ch-ch-ch-chak!
Of course he was also a formidable expert.
Oh Maeng-ju and Yu-gyeong who had made one of the Imae Mang-ryang into pieces of meat spoke in a low voice to the marine worker.
“It’s been almost half an hour since you infiltrated and I’m afraid there’s still no news.”
In response to his concerns Lee Maeng-ju’s Hae-yeok responded with a smile.
“Hehehe. Don’t worry. “Didn’t the person who can be said to be a legend of the Nine Blood Religions and the Six Lords Samilgeom go together with no one else?”
“Yes but….”
It took longer than expected.
They couldn’t help but be worried because there was no news even though they were holding on to the full force of the radiation group for over half an hour.
Although they were only a small group of elites three super experts entered.
If they are still unable to subdue them it seems that the being called the Six-Faced God is not an ordinary being.
Oh Maeng-ju and Yu-gyeong looked at the main hall of the manor.
[言靈眞原閣]
Eonyeongjinwongak.
* * *
“Cough…cough….”
A middle-aged man wearing a gold radiation suit with a sword stuck in his abdomen was coughing blood.
The identity of the middle-aged man was Bangsa Gijinmun the footnote of Eonyeongjinwongak and the title of Six-Faced God.
How did he who is said to be one of the six greatest swordsmen end up like this?
Footnote Ki Jin-moon who had been coughing for a long time to the point where blood was pouring out lifted his head with difficulty and looked at someone’s back.
That someone was a woman from the Geumuiwiwi wearing a red beer uniform and a gold belt.
The identity of this beautiful woman on top of gold whose clothes were stained with blood everywhere was none other than Yukcheonho So Ye-rin.
-Sigh!
Footnotes Ki Jin-moon tried to gently move his middle finger.
It was that moment.
-Okay!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Ki Jin-moon’s middle finger was cut off.
The person who cut it was an alluring-looking woman with long fingernails and she had the plain blood of an old blood religion.
In a clear childish voice she warned Gijin Moon.
She said “If you move even one finger I will kill you no matter what.”
“Off. “This damn thing!”
“If you understand stay still.”
The reason why Bloody Dambaekha was so wary of him was simple.
They tried to sneak in here and subdue him secretly but they ran into difficulties.
They believed that no matter how much they were called god-level fighters they could easily suppress them if they did not even give them a chance to use magic or witchcraft.
However the title of God of Six Ways did not come about for nothing.
‘I ambushed him and cut off his arm but I was barely able to subdue him.’
It was strong enough to stick out his tongue.
It was thought that magic would be possible only by memorizing spells or using talismans but this person used magic so quickly that there was almost no time left putting them in a difficult situation.
It is said that he was prepared in advance to be able to use the technique at any time but it could be said that his skills were truly worthy of his reputation.
“joy.”
And thanks to the unexpected ganja something big almost happened.
It was because of the interest that had sneaked in with them.
There was a dead body on the floor not only completely charred by thunder energy but also cut in half.
This body was that of Samilgeom Gisaman the leader of the Four Alliance Alliance.
Looking at this Dambaekha clicked her tongue.
‘If I hadn’t been in the back…’
The lady must have suffered.
Just as So Ye-rin pierced the abdomen of Gi Jin-moon with a quick thrust Samilgeom Gisaeng suddenly cut off her head.
As a result I raised my brain power and stopped him.
[What are you doing?]
[Pfft!]
Then after failing to kill her her Gisaengman burned into her brain energy but this time he was subdued and tried to kill Gakju Gijin-moon who was unable to move from her.
It’s as if they’re trying to silence you.
However So Ye-rin who made a sword attack on Geomgyeolji in an instant was able to solve her situation by bending over her body and cutting into his waist.
‘What on earth?’
Although it is said to have been created by numerous sect groups how was it possible for a shaman to be hidden among the cadres of the sectarian alliance?
I almost got into big trouble.
I think once the work here is finished I will have to tell Marine Officer Lee Maeng-ju that we need to conduct a large-scale search for Ganja.
Footnotes Dambaekha who had not taken his eyes off Ki Jin-moon glanced at So Ye-rin.
She was looking through documents in a hidden safe.
But there is something strange about the atmosphere.
“miss?”
Why are you holding your breath and concentrating on that?
While I was wondering Footnote Ki Jin-moon opened his mouth.
“Cough cough… I’m sure I should have said that… but seeing that doesn’t change anything.”
So Ye-rin who had been looking at her document as if engrossed turned her body and quickly walked towards Gi Jin-moon footnote holding it.
Then she opened her mouth in an angry voice.
“What on earth are you trying to do with this?”
At her question Ki Jin-moon laughed and coughed blood.
“Cluck cough cough…Khehehehe. well. Just because you know that doesn’t mean you can do anything about it…”
-Poof! Kuduk!
“Turn it off!”
At that time So Yerin twisted the sword stuck in his abdomen.
The pain of her internal organs being twisted and torn apart by the blade was indescribable.
So Yerin glared at him fiercely and said.
“I think I’ll let you guys have your way.”
“Off…Haa…Ha…Leave it alone…It’s not your problem…Four years. Even if our old ancestors are revived… they will never… be stopped…”
-Kwasik!
At that moment Gi Jin-moon’s head exploded.
So Ye-rin wiped her face with her sleeve as the brain and blood splattered everywhere on her.
Then in an instant he took it behind his back and looked at the document that was almost soaked in blood.
There was a map drawn on the old document paper and several places were marked in red.
Among them there was one that caught her eye.
That place was in the north of Shaanxi Province.
‘….’
As she stared at this she immediately spoke to Dambaekha.
“I’m sorry but can I ask you a favor?”
“What kind of favor do you ask? Please give orders.”
“…thank you. “If Hyeolseong hadn’t helped me I would have had a hard time doing it alone.”
“Don’t say things like that. This isn’t just a girl’s problem. “I have been waiting for the day when I can take revenge on them.”
Dambaekha showed a fierce fighting spirit.
That’s how excited she was about this.
In response Yuk Cheon-ho So Ye-rin said as she turned over the documents she had.
“Please take this to Confucius Mo Gyeong-un at Cheonjihoe.”
“You mean this? But this is…”
“I remembered it in my head so I don’t need it anymore.”
“…All right. “If you do this you will return to the Imperial Palace of Gaebong…”
“no. “I think I should go to the north of Shaanxi Province.”
“If it’s in the north of Shaanxi Province….”
Even before Dam Baek Ha finished speaking So Yerin answered with a bitter smile.
“Yes… it’s the hometown I miss.”
* * *
Cheonjihoe at a similar time.
Hoeju who was forcibly held by the spiritual power of the young spirit opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Ha…ha…. I really don’t know. “But there is a way to bring him out… Ryu So-yol don’t you know it too?”
-…say.
“The ghost sword found traces of a gold magic that can forcibly merge spirits.”
-Demon sword?
“Cluck cluck. That’s right.”
At those words the expression on Cheongnyeong’s expression became strange as he was unable to control his reason due to anger.
Didn’t she try so hard to find him with her sentient beings?
But that wasn’t what was important right now.
-Where is the ghost sword?
In response to her question Hoeju said:
“Northern tip of Shaanxi Province. “It’s where the ruins of the collapsed castle are.”
