Episode 140
‘Where are the children being held?’
Jin Cheon-hee ran through the stone chamber, cutting down every trace of the people in black.
I didn’t kill him, but I would never be able to hold a sword again.
The deeper I went into the crypt, the more strange the smell became.
‘Is it poison?’
Jin Cheon-hee immediately turned to the reading of the Five Elements and deciphered it.
‘Isn’t this quite a complicated poison?’
It seemed like it was used to distract people’s minds and brainwash them.
If it is a poison that harms the body, it is easy to detoxify it. It’s annoying to be distracted. Additionally, the further we went inside, the more regularly the bell sounded.
Dang, dang, dang –
it seemed like a sound made by a blood missionary master.
If you focus on this sound to see if it has any magical meaning, you will lose consciousness in an instant!
‘It would be easier to process the successful candidates like before.’
That’s because even though the body is tired, the mind is not tired.
In that sense, it was the right choice for Samjeolchuho to take charge of the entrance, clear the path, and allow Jin Cheon-hee to break in.
Even if you are a person with a high resistance to poison, it is good for you to lose your senses and wander into a dream if you get upset.
If you wander in a dream like that, you end up becoming an empty doll that follows the will of the caster.
How far did it go?
The place with the strongest smell. Arrived there.
Deep underground, there was a temple of Blood Mission.
And in the middle, an old man of unknown gender and young children stood behind him with blank expressions.
“So Baekryong was waiting. “Cluck, click, click…”
The master let out a sticky laugh and looked down at Jin Cheon-hee from the altar.
“Judging by the fire in your eyes, it appears that you were not affected by the blood poison mentioned in the text. “It has a stronger scent than cherry blossoms, but it manages to withstand it.”
Jin Cheon-hee clenched his sword and calculated.
‘Are you guys blood missionaries this time too? ‘If I shout like that, it’ll be annoying, so I’ll just play it off.’
Jin Cheon-hee shouted like an apostle of justice.
“Are they remnants of the Demonic Cult?”
“Demon Cult… Demon Cult… Well, it’s natural to think that way. Think whatever suits you. “It doesn’t matter what you think, you’re going to die anyway.”
“…What is that…?”
“Although it is unfortunate that the date and time of birth are not correct, these people are very pleased with your appearance. Plus, it’s a virgin.”
‘How does this bastard know I’m a virgin?’
Did you overhear the conversation you had with Samjeolchuho? But even so, Jin Cheon-hee did not say that she was a virgin.
It was just vague.
“Looking at that expression, it must be a virgin. “Yoseon wants a piece of your flesh!”
“I am not a virgin!”
“There is no use in trying to fool me. “Um-o-ha…Saba…”
The guy muttered something strange and then said this.
“What? Why do you have more than half a sympathy for me! “I heard you’re a kid who hasn’t even had blood on his head yet!”
Jin Cheonhee… thought.
I wonder if this is also a reflection of my past life, when I lived as a single person.
I didn’t buy it because I wanted to live alone.
It was just that the work was so hard and tiring that I had no time to think about anything else.
Jin Cheon-hee was an official hospital slave created by the Republic of Korea’s trainee system. And he died just as he was free from slavery and had some leisure to live.
I felt anxious.
It was a rare event in Jin Cheon-hee’s life.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“What does it matter whether I have been a virgin for ten years, twenty years, or half a hundred years? “Stop doing evil and release the children!”
“I’m not a Taoist and I don’t know why you have such a clear spirit, but it’s good. Hehehe… I think he would like it if I offered it to Dalgi.”
The guy waved his wand.
Jingling-
“If you don’t put down your sword, I will kill all the children here.”
Jin Cheon-hee responded calmly to those words.
“Putting blood on the altar without proper formality? Wouldn’t that actually be an insult to the ritual itself?”
“…Your head is spinning quite a bit. You…”
“You can never lay a finger on the sacrifice until the appointed date arrives. Especially on the altar. “You can’t do anything unless it’s a choice decided by the Bagua.”
“But we can at least catch you!”
The old man rang the bell on his cane loudly.
Dang dang –
it was a sound with a different rhythm than before. Then, a blood missionary dressed in black came up through the floor.
Jin Cheon-hee blocked the man in black with his sword.
Cough!
A sound similar to hitting metal.
Jin Cheon-hee changed his mind and took off the mask of the man in black.
Then the face of the dead man was revealed.
‘It’s strong…!’
A smile appeared on Jin Cheonhee’s lips.
‘How long have I been looking forward to this day… no, how much have I prepared for this day!’
When it comes to martial arts movies, isn’t it Jiangshi?
In the meantime, I’ve been running countless simulations in my head about how to deal with Jiang Shi.
Jin Cheon-hee used the Five Elements Divine Power to create ice energy on the ice crystal sword and fire energy on the other sword, the black pine cloud sword.
Yang Yisimgong of the Shaman faction created two ideas for Jin Cheonhee.
Seeing this, the labor and management must have been appalled and their eyes widened.
“You’re dealing with two Five Elements at the same time?”
He aimed the cold at Jiangshi’s joints, blocking his movement, and then turned the firearm to break his arm.
Kaga River!
And then he cut the Kangshi’s shoulder joint with cold.
It was closer to the movements of a butcher than the movements of a warrior.
Jin Cheon-hee dissected the jiangshi using the minimal movements that only a person who knew the exact location of human bones, muscles, and cartilage could do.
‘Well, the blood isn’t flowing as expected.’
Jin Cheon-hee, who glanced at the cut section, immediately faced the next enemy.
‘The skin is like steel, but the joints are rather vulnerable to cold. If you break this frozen tissue with a firearm, you can observe that it spoils easily. Is this a side effect of extremely strengthening the skin and muscles? ‘My hypothesis was correct.’
It was the same feeling as the professor who just did what he was told.
‘To effectively catch a jiangshi, a surgical procedure that hardens the joints with cold and then quickly invades the soft tissue with firearms… no, combat methods must be systematically introduced!’
Even while fighting, Yang Yishengong enabled Jin Cheon-hee to burn his passion for learning.
If Yoo Ho had heard, he would have said that the master was crazy about medicine, but it was an important issue to Jin Cheon-hee.
‘When the thesis is completed, I have to show it to my teacher. There will be an overwhelming majority of teachers who have been in martial arts for a long time, so it will be helpful when verifying.’
Jin Cheon-hee destroyed the gangshi one by one and memorized the information for statistical purposes to be included in the paper.
‘In order to use this paper as a basis, at least 100 jiangshi must be caught as samples. One is 100 if they target the head in the usual way, and the other is 100 if, as I hypothesized, they attack the joints with cold air and then cut off the soft tissue with a firearm in one go. A total of 200 jiangshi are needed.’
bang!
Jin Cheon-hee jumped and landed on the wall. Then, he dived into the gangshi as if doing a wrestling triangle.
‘Also, invite another warrior to attack the Jiangshi in the same way and obtain a specimen… This is impossible.’
A martial artist who wielded a sword and was excellent at martial arts, just like Jin Cheon-hee, was needed.
Ha-Ryun Yeo.
Did Hwanggu find him?
‘At first glance, I calculated that there are a total of 215 jiangshi in this place. Since it is a river poem produced in the same place and at the same Hyeolseongyo, it can be said to be suitable as a sample. But I don’t have enough stamina to deal with all of these guys.’
Let’s go!
Taeeuldanseongeom Taeeul Spectral Light (太乙分light)–!
The afterimages, which had previously been four, differentiated into eight and attacked the Jiangshi.
No matter how skilled he was, it was realistically impossible to kill all 215 Blood Mission Gangshi and even kill that beast.
Before that, Jin Cheon-hee dies from exhaustion.
Jin Cheon-hee folded the corner of the blue dream about the paper a little.
‘Even if it’s not now, it can be completed later. If successful, many martial arts people will be able to safely deal with the Gangshi.’
Create a checkpoint to maintain the formation, induce jiangshi by opening and closing the saengmun and saengmun, and establish a formation using cold and fire.
As of now, it seems that only those who have mastered fire and ice skills can do this, but improvements can be made.
When I thought about the tribulation to come, the number of lives that could be saved in this way would be endless.
‘Maybe in the future, even those with shallow hearts will be able to deal with Jiangshi.’
This is something you shouldn’t rush.
Even if it’s not now, there’s a next time, so when I finish it someday, I plan to send a message to the Murim Alliance and Little Heavenly Demon.
Jin Cheon-hee changed the direction of his thoughts like that.
‘I guess the old man in front of me looks like a city sea merchant.’
Sea merchant.
His goal is to become a Sihaeseon (尸解仙).
In Taoism, in addition to the Heavenly Seon (天仙) and Earth Seon (地仙), there is a thing called Sihaeseon (尸解仙), which is said to mean taking off the body after death and becoming a immortal.
In detail, it is not known exactly how one becomes a hermit in a human body.
What is certain is that it is different from a warrior awakening to the sword and becoming a fable.
And the corpse dealer in front of us is trying to manipulate the corpse to perform the art of assassination.
This guy is trying to create the strongest jiangshi made with special Dafa before his body gets old, enter it, and enjoy a kind of immortal-like state.
An offshoot of Taoism, it is also a blood missionary way of worshiping Geumo-do.
As an executive of the Blood Mission, his level is higher than that of the Black Brain Blood Demon.
As if my goal was to become a Sihaeseon, I learned Gangsik, a martial art called Sihaegangsigong, and a sound technique called Siryeongeum.
In Gangho, he is called by the nickname Siryeonggoema.
People think that Siryeonggoema is a demonic cult, but it is not a demonic cult.
It is a blood mission.
‘In martial arts, Taoists are always difficult to deal with.’
Regardless of whether it is strong or weak, it is difficult and complex.
Instead of pitting one against the other, they respond in countless ways, such as using sound, talisman, magic, and jiangshi.
My heart was pounding.
‘I’m curious.’
The opponent is a Taoist who is fully prepared.
It is hard to believe in the power of this Gaja, as there are solo dances that fill the space, hundreds of lectures, and even an altar equipped with various magical devices.
Even a considerable Sega writer would have to prepare a place to live.
Everything was going against Jin Cheon-hee.
The reason he has survived until now is thanks to the fantastic combination of the Five Elements Godkung, Yanguisimgong Hyeonwonjeondansungung, and Taeuldanseongeom.
‘also… curious.’
Running away is not an option.
If Jin Cheon-hee escapes here, the enemy will be more prepared next time.
The old moon is not far away, so all the children will die.
The only way to suffocate the enemy is now.
Nevertheless, Jin Cheon-hee was dealing with the Shiryeong monster not with fear or solemnity, but with academic curiosity.
Crying –
When Siryeonggeoma rang the bell, a terrible sound hole erupted.
Jin Cheon-hee quickly used Pungam Ball to protect his ears, but one of his eardrums burst.
If it had been even a little bit late, the cochlea would have shaken and created a type of otolithiasis, and the Siryeonggemon would not have missed that moment.
‘Well, normally, spitting out blood with a black ball would be the order of the day.’
Is it because of the wooden doll Yuho made?
His external attack was also good enough that he could hit it with his body at least once if he had to.
Jin Cheon-hee observed how the Shiryeonggeoma released its yin energy.
Jjareung–!
The bell rings again.
Even the jiangshi stopped moving for a moment due to the formidable sound attack.
I defended myself right away.
This time, both ears were fine, but I couldn’t stop the feeling of my internal organs rumbling.
However, the extreme observation power gained through the Xuanyuan Shendan Shen Technique and the Yang Yi Heart Technique stimulated Jin Cheonhee’s brain.
‘Ah…is that the principle?’
