Chapter 269

[ Episode 88 Jin-ui (2) ]

a�?Whew....Whew....a�?

A rough breath came out of my mouth.

A considerable amount of force was expended to destroy the power of the Buddhist instrument, which could be said to be an alien object.

‘The regular union of Noegeomcheondun...'

Noegeomcheondun also consumes a lot of true energy.

As the inner energy and innate energy increased, the physical strength consumption was so high that it could not be compared with other herbivores.

a�?Off....a�?

a�?Ugh.a�?

a�?My legs....my legs....a�?

Screams of pain erupted from everywhere.

The power of the Noegeomcheondun Jinchukahhoegeom that tore the tent and rushed in completely devastated the imperial army.

The place swept by the lightning storm that spread in the shape of a fan was stained with blood and was a complete mess.

At first glance, it appears that there were hundreds of casualties.

a�?.......a�?

It's my first time.

Why did I kill so many people with these hands?

I've faced numerous enemies so far, but I've never killed them like I was stomping on ants.

I think I understand why the teacher told me not to abuse the Thunder Blade and Thunder Blade.

Although I said it was to break the wall, I felt a strangely bitter feeling.

-Are you blaming yourself?

no.

I had to show it clearly at least once anyway.

If you press down with overwhelming force, it won't climb up.

If I had left things in my hands clumsily, there was no way they would have looked at me with a look of horror like they did now.

As I take a step forward, I step on something squishy.

When I looked down, I saw what looked like fragments of the five organs and six parts lying around.

It appears to belong to someone who served as the emperor's substitute.

-When you unfolded the sword, your body swelled up, and then suddenly it exploded.

okay?

I think it happened because of pressure.

There was no way the criminal's body could withstand the force that the wall bounced off and the force that I pulled out.

It was a miserable end for a double.

I raised my head and walked forward.

a�?Youa�?re safe.a�?

The person who stood out the most was Pagongwi Chosa.

His entire body was full of scars, but he seemed to have managed to escape the aftereffects of herbivory.

This guy uses a large bow as a cane to keep from falling.

As I approached, his whole body trembled.

a�?A monster...a monster...a�?

I didn't feel the need to answer what he said.

Because that's what I'm interested in.

As I stretched out my hand, Seonbyeokjinok's card that had fallen on the floor was sucked into the empty water.

-Park!

Geumsangje seems to have missed this as he was caught up in the thunderstorm.

When I touched it, I was sure it was real.

With this, one of the Buddhist instruments stolen by Ja Kyung-jeong has been recovered.

I'm done with my business here, so I have to go back now.

Geum Sang-je isn't dead, right?

-It's on the front right.

As Sodamgeom said, I looked towards the place and saw Geumsangje staggering around holding a broken sword.

In front of him stood a corpse whose entire body had been mutilated and charred by thunderbolts, and it seemed to be Myowol Yangmyeongshin.

Judging by the fact that the ground behind him was less hollow, it appears that he died while protecting the emperor, Geumsangje.

-Even though he is a martial artist, he is loyal.

As Sodamgeom said, it is surprising.

I thought he had simply surrendered to Jin Sangje's policy of exterminating the Wulin, but seeing him sacrifice his life for the emperor clearly shows his loyalty.

I looked at Geumsangje, who was holding the broken sword and looking at me with trembling eyes.

He too was looking at me like I was a monster.

-Life is tough.

It certainly looks like he is not destined to die now.

At such a close range, he was faced with the lightning-throwing Jinchukahaegeom, which was unleashed with a force amplified by the union of vital energy, but he survived.

-......I can't believe I have to go like this in front of my previous owner's enemy. It's so frustrating. Unhui.

Would it be any different for me?

But if we kill that person right now, future history will change.

The birth of Biwol Yeongjong and my meeting with you in Namcheon will disappear.

-Ahhh.

Namcheoncheolgeom couldna�?t help but feel sad.

However, if things continue like this, there is no telling what he will do.

I turned around and approached Geumsangje.

With each step he takes, the cold sweat on Geum Sang-je's face seems to increase.

I dona�?t think Ia�?ve ever experienced fear like this before.

Indeed, would he, an emperor who could be said to be the greatest man in the world, and who also possessed inaction comparable to that of the 12th Emperor of the World, ever experience something like this?

‘Namcheon.'

As soon as my words left my mouth, the Namcheon Iron Sword fell out of my hand.

Then it flew at incredible speed and tried to pierce Geumsangje's chest.

Geumsangje, who was extremely nervous and sweating coldly, tried to stop this by hurriedly spreading his sword with his broken blade.

however,

-Wow!

Before I knew it, I was behind him and grabbed Geumsangje's head.

a�?Inooooom!!a�?

Pride is stronger than fear.

When I touched the emperor's body, he couldn't help but get angry and tried to fight back.

‘Noegeomcheondun.'

-Pachichichichichichik!

a�?Gagagagagagak!a�?

The blue light that rose from his hand wrapped around Geumsangje's entire body, starting from his head.

The electrocuted one convulsed and screamed.

The thunderstorm was so intense that he could even smell his skin burning, and even foam came out of Geumsangje's mouth.

I could see his pupils trembling.

The fear of death you will experience for the first time will make you shiver.

-Shoooooo!

As soon as the Noegeomcheondun stopped, Geumsangje stopped screaming.

a�?Off.a�?

The tip of the Namcheon Iron Sword is touching his neck.

If he applies just a little bit of force, the sword will pass right through his neck.

Geumsangje looked at the tip of the sword with a face full of fear.

I told him that.

��your majesty. a�?Leta�?s give up the vain desires of eternal life and all that.a�?

a�?Uuuuu......a�?

a�?Leta�?s go back like this and take care of our people as parents. a�?If we do something like annihilating the martial arts group again, it wona�?t end like this this time.a�?

Geumsangje's back trembled from the life in his voice.

I think this is enough warning.

‘Namcheon.'

a�?Tsk!a�?

An enormous amount of energy was flowing from the sphere.

If we are negligent in preventing this even just a little, it will explode right away.

The seven Daoists, including Jeongyang Jinin, poured all their energy into preventing it from exploding.

The drain on energy was so great that the monks' hair gradually turned white and wrinkles increased.

It seemed like aging was progressing rapidly.

This was also the case for inspection.

His gray hair gradually became closer to white.

Ja Kyung-jeong approached him and said.

a�?Master. Stop giving up. a�?Are you going to put such a shame on Simaa�?s sacrifice for the greater good?a�?

The swordsman spoke as if he was disappointed by his words.

a�?.......How has it changed so much? a�?Didna�?t you say with your own mouth that you like Yang Seon?a�?

Ja Kyung-jeong answered that question with a bitter face.

��I like. a�?More than anyone else.a�?

At this, the swordsman urged him with a flushed face.

a�?Did a guy like that put a dharma ball into his sistera�?s stomach and explode it?a�?

It was a shocking truth.

Yeo Yang-seon was alive until just one o'clock.

Until the body is blown away by the dharma ball that explodes to self-annihilate.

Geomseon couldn't possibly forgive him.

Despite his anger, Jagyeongjeong did not waver at all.

a�?Masters, you have the power to protect your people. But why do you risk your life just to protect this place when so many people are dying?a�?

a�?This guy...a�?

a�?The fuse must disappear. If that happens, the oath that the teachers made to Wonyoungsin will become nothing more than ashes.a�?

a�?You are trying to cause trouble.a�?

a�?Ita�?s not Sadal. a�?I want to free the teachers from their bonds.a�?

a�?What you are doing is causing harm to the world!a�?

The monk wearing a gourd was so angry that he couldn't hear anything and screamed.

Looking at him like that, Ja Kyung-jeong snorted and said.

a�?You are selfish. Is it right to give priority to onea�?s own path and turn onea�?s back on the suffering of this world?a�?

a�?Jagyeongjeong, what you are saying is sophistry.a�?

A female Buddhist monk wearing a lotus flower in her ear reprimanded him.

At this, Ja Kyung-jeong shook his head.

a�?Is the Tao just for yourself? a�?Isna�?t the true way to kill tyrants, eliminate powers, and create a world where everyone can live in peace?a�?

At those words, the Taoist holding the broken yin-yang plate under his arm shouted.

a�?That is sophistry.a�?

��sophistry?��

a�?If someone steps up and suppresses the peace you spoke of with stronger force, then what else is that other than oppression?a�?

Even though Sari was right, Vigilante Jeong did not waver.

Instead, he shouted at the Taoist holding the yin-yang plate as if arguing.

a�?If tyrants, villains, and those who walk the path of Sima Mao have power, then so be it, but isna�?t that true for teachers? If the Taoists here join forces, we can create a better world. Dona�?t you know ita�?s the truth?a�?

a�?The truth. under.��

a�?The tyrant Jin Sangje and the imperial army are marching here now. a�?You will arrive here soon.a�?

Geomseon frowned at those words and said.

a�?What on earth are you planning?a�?

a�?Tyrant Geum Sang-je dreams of eternal life. a�?If he comes here and takes the Dragon and Tiger Golden Altar made by Jinin Jeongyang, his dream will come true.a�?

a�?!!!a�?

Everyone could not hide their embarrassment at Ja Kyung-jeonga�?s words.

The worst thing happens when the so-called tyrant achieves immortality.

Even the problems that time can solve cannot be prevented.

Ja Kyung-jeong smiled and spoke in a meaningful voice.

a�?It is a time of choice. Are you going to let the tyrant achieve his dream of eternal life in order to prevent this fuse from disappearing? Or will you give up the fuse and join me in stopping the tyrant and his army?a�?

The complexions of the eight Daoists darkened.

No one could even imagine that Vigilante was planning such a grand plan.

Stealing the Buddhist scriptures and running away was only the beginning.

A female Buddhist monk wearing only one shoe sighed and said.

a�?Gyeongjeong. Kyeong-jeong. a�?You are truly bringing harm to this fuse and the world.a�?

a�?If you ask me for all these sins, I will gladly accept them. a�?I was prepared to give up my life at any time for the greater good.a�?

Geomseon muttered in vain at Jagyeongjeonga�?s words.

a�?Nobu, you looked at the wrong person. a�?All of this is Nobua�?s task.a�?

a�?How can that be the fault of the death penalty? It is said that you can know the inside of a thousand miles of water, but you cannot know the inside of a person just one way.a�?

Ja Kyung-jeong clicked his tongue at their conversation.

And then he stretched out his hand somewhere.

Then the drum that was stuck in the Taoist's waist was sucked into his hand.

Doin, embarrassed by this, shouted at him.

a�?Stop!a�?

a�?The teachers are barely able to prevent three balls from exploding, but is it really possible for one more ball to explode?a�?

a�?You bastard!a�?

a�?Stop right now!a�?

a�?Stop!a�?

The monks unanimously tried to dissuade him.

However, Vigilante had no intention of stopping in the first place.

Ja Kyung-jeong said with a smile.

a�?Ita�?s all for the greater good. a�?No one can stop my Tao.a�?

With those words, Jagyeongjeong threw the flute with all his might towards the sphere burning like the sun.

-Poof!

a�?Nooooo!a�?

The faces of the eight Daoists became contemplative.

The moment you release your hand, you cannot prevent the explosion.

It was that moment.

- Swish swish!

Tongso, which was flying towards the sphere, stopped spinning in the air.

Ja Kyung-jeong frowned at this sight.

‘No way....'

The eight Daoists do not have the strength to take their hands off that sphere.

So who on earth stopped this?

��joy!��

I guess it didn't matter.

Anyway, except for the eight Daoists, there was no one who could stop him.

Jagyeongjeong stretched out his hand toward the spinning drum in the air.

The intention was to push through with deep attack power.

however,

- Swish swish!

Tongso spun even faster and didn't even think about moving from that spot.

‘What the hell is this.....'

Then, the spinning drum flew somewhere.

It was near the entrance to the central area.

-widely!

Someone picked up the twang with a fricative sound.

a�?!?a�?

The darkened faces of the eight Daoists who looked at this were becoming brighter.

As Vigilante turned her head, her expression became horribly distorted.

There, Jin Woon-hwi was walking inside, holding a flute.
