Chapter 51

Episode 51

‘Is it a plum blossom check-up?’

A rare spectacle unfolded before my eyes.

The young Taoist monks surrounded the rampaging monster and fired sword strikes sequentially as if gears were interlocking.

Although the monster resisted fiercely, there was no sign of Jin breaking.

‘What a minister. It looks like most of them are students of this university.’

Most of the Taoist masters are first-class.

Only a few people in command of Jin had barely entered the climax.

On the other hand, at first glance, the monster rampaging at the center of Jin was an expert who was about to reach his peak.

He was probably quite skilled even before he encountered magic.

‘It is a checkup created to trap, stop, and kill opponents of a higher rank.’

Although a considerable amount of time has passed since the fight began, there has not yet been a single casualty on the Volcano faction’s side.

Although there were some who suffered minor injuries, it did not have any impact on the general trend.

Soon other Taoists took the place of the injured.

As time passed, Mine showed signs of exhaustion as he exhausted his stamina and endurance.

On the contrary, the Taoist monks were full of morale and pushed the devil.

‘Even considering that he has been eroded by demon energy and has lost his senses, it is too one-sided.’

Once again, I was able to realize the power of the examination that has been improved and developed over a long period of time at the prestigious Daepa.

It could not be compared to the six-joint examination conducted by Shakyamuni’s warriors.

‘It will be over soon.’

The demon let out an unintelligible scream and sprayed sword energy in all directions.

Then, he kicked the ground and launched the new model.

The monks looked embarrassed for a moment, but quickly regained their composure and responded calmly.

The sword energy was canceled out and the sword was deeply embedded in the demon’s body.

Right shoulder, left leg, middle of the backboard.

Even as Mine screamed at the top of her lungs, she twisted her body and pulled herself out.

The flesh was torn into pieces and blood poured out.

‘Is this the final struggle?’

Mine jumped after kicking the shoulder of the Taoist presumed to be the conductor, escaping the examination and attempting to run away.

Although he somehow managed to get out of the camp, his physical condition was already in dire straits.

It would have been impossible to escape through the double siege net.

The monks probably knew this, so they didn’t go out of their way to keep him in the examination room.

“Get out of the way!”

The demon exploded with Lion’s Roar and rushed towards the Taoist who was blocking the retreat.

The magic energy poured out in a rush and covered the surface of the sword.

‘what.’

I frowned slightly as I saw the face of the Taoist monk straightening his sword in a nervous manner.

It was the young Taoist monk who asked me for identification three days ago.

“Hahaha!”

“Oh no!”

Something absurd happened.

The Taoist monk who was supposed to hold the demon back to prevent him from escaping got scared and took a step back.

Sigh!

The young Taoist sword cut through the air in vain.

This was because the distance became misaligned as the distance increased.

Mine laughed at the young Taoist and passed over his head, leisurely escaping from the siege.

‘Such an idiot.’

I cursed under my breath and jumped up from my seat.

No matter how much experience you have in combat, does it make sense to say that even though you are a top expert, you can’t catch a dying horse?

‘Tsk!’

I spread out my ghost beam and chased after Mine.

If Mine succeeds in escaping here, the schedule will be further delayed.

That much was unacceptable.

I hope you jump over and move from roof to roof.

The figure of Mine, skillfully avoiding the pursuit of the Taoist monks by using the complex alleyways, came into view.

I stepped down as if blocking Mine’s path.

“I’m dead!”

With a powerful combination of energy, the demon struck down his sword with the force of splitting the top of his head.

I dodged the sword strike by lightly taking half a step back and then plunged my fist into his solar plexus.

Crump!

The sensation of broken ribs came through my fingertips.

“Keueook.”

“Fortunately, the.”

“Why did you subdue the demon and then quietly leave the place?”

“.......”

“Are you worried that the Volcanic Sect might make you look bad?”

Asking questions even though you know everything.

In my experience, it was best not to answer in times like these.

I quietly tilted the teacup and took a quick look at Plum God Sword’s expression.

“Well, all of the disciples went around giving off a violent atmosphere, so it’s quite possible. Anyway, the Volcanic Sect owes you a debt.”

“no. “Even if it wasn’t for me, if Maehwasingeom had come forward, it would have been resolved quickly.”

I thought it was strange.

Why did they not mobilize the Maehwageomsu, the main force of the sect, or his disciples to subdue the demons, but instead mobilized the disciples of Lee Dae, whose martial arts level was relatively low?

It turned out that the plan was to send the Maehwashingeom, the best sword in the volcano, as a leader so that the disciples could gain experience.

Without even knowing it, I was worried that Mine would succeed in escaping, so I blocked his path.

“Is there anything you wish for in the text?”

“Nothing in particular. “I only intervened in the hope that the lockdown would be lifted quickly, and there was no other intention.”

Is it possible that there is nothing to wish for?

However, it was not possible to shamelessly ask for compensation here.

If I did something wrong, I could be labeled as a shameless person and fall into the eyes of the Plum Blossom God Sword.

“You are a friend without greed.”

“Normally, there is a desire for material wealth and a desire for fame. “They’re just not brave enough to demand compensation in this situation.”

“Seeing that he says everything he wants to say even when he’s in front of me, it seems like he has a lot of guts.”

“What reason would there be to feel fear in front of a respected senior? “I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel nervous.”

“I like it more and more.”

Plum God Sword, who was laughing, put down the teacup and asked.

“So you were on your way to Zhejiang?”

“yes.”

“I heard that Japanese pirates are setting up camp in the waters of Zhejiang. Are you planning to join the government army?”

“no. I’m just on my way to meet an acquaintance. “I’m not particularly interested in subjugating Japanese pirates.”

“Do you have any company?”

“yes. Tang Seoyeon Sojeo, a direct descendant of the Sacheon Dang family....”

“Dang family? “Was the daughter of the Tang family that Cheonwoo was talking about a member of your group?”

“It looks like you already know.”

“I know. “Cheonwoo, that guy is my disciple.”

“......yes?”

That unlucky Taoist bastard is the Sword Demon’s disciple?

I looked at the Plum Blossom Sword with an expression of disbelief.

“Why can’t you believe that the guy who made a big fuss during the demon subjugation a little while ago is my disciple?”

“Pooping...”

“How else to say pooping?”

I had nothing to say.

What happened was that the old man, who looked like a god, was pooping and pooping without paying attention to what other people thought, so I felt a strange feeling that was hard to describe.

I never would have thought that Maehwashingeom was the owner of such outspoken words.

‘Whatever it is, it seems certain that this Taoist master, who is a representative of weak and weak forces, is a disciple of the Plum God’s Sword.’

If you think about it, he introduced himself as a disciple of the Huashan Sect.

Not a disciple of Ewha University, but a disciple of the first generation.

‘I thought it was somehow strange. All of the disciples of the Huashan Sect would be middle-aged.’

Apparently, as he was selected as a disciple of Plum God Sword, his distribution also increased.

“It’s just right.”

Plum God Sword muttered something to himself without knowing what it meant.

An unexplainable feeling of anxiety began to creep in.

“It looks like he’s going on a gang tour with warriors of the same age.”

“That’s right.”

“The time has come for my disciple to leave for Gangho. If it is okay with you, could you accept him as part of your group?”

“......yes?”

“As you can see, I’m a guy who spent his whole life staying in the mountains and training only in swordsmanship, so he has a lot of shortcomings. “I’d like to come see the world a bit.”

“Why are you asking me to do that for the first time today?”

“Just by looking at it, it looks like you hate your student.”

“......?”

“It’s been in bad water lately, so I was thinking I’d have to get it repaired soon. But it seemed pointless to use my own hands. “Discipline from parents or teachers is not very effective.”

“Do you by any chance hate your disciple?”

“How can you say that you don’t like it? They’re all doing this out of affection.”

Plum Blossom God Sword chuckled.

He looked exactly like a bad boy plotting evil deeds.
