Chapter 911
콰르르릉—-!
The explosion erupted above Taha-pa and the Imugi’s heads.
The firecracker’s destructive force was as powerful as detonated inner energy, sending the Imugi’s body tumbling backward and crashing into the ground.
Taha-pa was also hurled away, falling hard onto the earth.
Seizing that precise moment, I immediately drew both the Bing Jeong Sword and the Black Pine Cloud Sword.
Hyaaaah!
Different Five Elements inner energies clung to the two blades.
This was something I had realized during my previous battle with Taha-pa.
I channeled that tremendous destructive force and swung both swords as one.
Taeul Danseonggeom Shimmoo.
Taeul Danseong–!!
Shyaaaack!
The two sword forces advanced, carrying the principles of ascension within them.
The blade of inner energy tore vertically through my entire field of vision.
Taha-pa, whose stance had collapsed as he fell to the ground, desperately gathered his energy to regain his footing, but it was already too late.
Taha-pa raised his inner energy to protect his body, but I severed even that completely.
A wound opened.
Crunch-crack-snap!
-Kwaaaaagh!
His energy was severed, and a deep sword wound appeared across his body.
Something pitch-black flashed between the edges of the wound.
Hyeongyeong’s poison.
Different Five Elements inner energies!
It was not merely sword force. I had infused it with poison and unleashed it.
And yet.
Still.
Taha-pa rose to his feet.
-Grrgh. Vicious poison. But. You worm. For violating my territory. I will make you pay!
Taha-pa, consumed by rage.
But before he could move, something hurled from a distance crashed down upon him.
-Human! You insignificant shrimp!
What Cheonwoo and Sama Hyeon had thrown.
Firecrackers.
“Die!”
“May you find eternal peace!”
콰광! 콰과과과과광—-!
With the explosions, Sama Hyeon and Cheonwoo descended beside me.
Smoke billowed upward in thick clouds from the blasts.
Behind it, the Imugi writhed, coughing up blood.
Severe poisoning!
Watching this, Sama Hyeon and Cheonwoo looked down at their own hands.
“This is firepower?!”
“Hyeong… Why did the Imperial Court develop something like this? Don’t tell me they’re trying to kill all the martial artists?”
I seemed to have taught these two martial artists something I shouldn’t have.
That’s when it happened.
Taha-pa was rising to his feet, using his spear as a staff.
Pushing out the toxic energy within his body, his regenerative power activated as his form bubbled and advanced.
Even so, it was a critical wound.
Not in perfect condition, but in an injured state!
-You! Disciple of Girin! How. How. How. Could you. Could you. Could you do such a thing! My territory. Defiled! Cursed human! You will. You will pay the price!
“Whew, what grit~”
Sama Hyeon whistled.
‘At this rate… I might be able to win without taking damage?’
I calculated internally.
I checked Taha-pa’s current condition with the Hyeonwon Jeondan Singeong and measured whether I could achieve ‘victory’.
But I quickly abandoned that thought.
Crash!
Massive chunks of stone began falling everywhere.
‘We’ll be submerged before we defeat Taha-pa! This won’t do!’
I spoke.
“You guys! Let’s get out of here!”
The bomb’s power exceeded imagination.
And when we clustered them together and threw them, the firepower went absolutely insane.
Because of that, unlike before, the place was about to collapse right now.
Boom! Crash!
The ceiling cracked as stones began raining down like a meteor shower.
And leaving the poisoned Imugi behind, we began running at full speed like madmen.
And leaving the addicted water dragon behind, he began to run forward with all his might like a madman.
“Ahhhhh! Hyeong! This is insane!”
“It’s fine! If you dodge well, you won’t die! That’s why we trained our lightness technique!”
“No matter what, nobody expected us to show off firepower☆ in an underground city and then escape!”
-Disciple of Girin! I will not forgive you! I will not forgive you!
Leaving Taha-pa shrieking his monstrous cries behind, the three of us ran like lightning.
* * *
The three of us safely escaped from the Hae-seon warehouse.
Outside, the Goe-eo-in and corpse demons, along with garrison soldiers and martial artists, were fighting.
“Don’t retreat! Our families are behind us!”
“The pouch left by Baek-ui Sinryong! Have we used up all the pouches?!”
Hearing the people’s cries, Cheonwoo asked.
“A pouch?”
“I’ve left behind a silk pouch. Open it whenever things get difficult.”
I drew inspiration from the strategy pouch that Gae Pa Josa and Waryong Seongsaeng had left behind in the past.
Though it wasn’t as if he had reversed time like I did, managing two tasks with one body.
Still, to handle matters a bit more quickly, there was no helping it.
Fortunately, I knew from the future what strategies these guys would employ and how they would attack, so I had written it all out in the silk pouch for him to open one by one.
-Ooooh! This is the legendary secret technique of the Jegallim Family!
The Magistrate received it with trembling hands.
Hmm. Was the stimulation a bit too strong in a world where the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was real?
I had written down clearly which soldier formations should sortie first and which martial arts sects should take the lead, so he only needed to open them one by one and follow the instructions.
Looking at the state of the battle, things were indeed progressing better than last time.
Knowing the future felt like solving problems while looking at the answer key.
Especially seeing fire bombs exploding from all directions—the firepower was proving to be a tremendous asset.
‘Gold & Silver really came through.’
They probably hadn’t expected to use this much, but sending it generously was a masterstroke.
‘Good. Now I’ll join in….’
The moment I thought that.
Boom-crash-crash-bang!
The entire ground of Hae-seon’s residence exploded.
Turning to see what happened, the Imugi was bursting through the earth, its entire body drenched in blood.
“This water serpent uses earth-concealing techniques?”
While I muttered in disbelief.
Black scaled armor and tattered divine beast armor came into view.
Battered by sword strikes and fire bombs, it was now almost shameful to even call it divine beast armor.
Taha-pa gripped his spear, breathing with sharp, ragged gasps.
Though his entire body was covered in wounds, he endured like a leader of the Goe-eo-in should.
Half his wounds had healed, half remained open.
His regenerative power wasn’t working properly, likely due to my poison.
Grrrrgh—
-Girin’s disciple. I will kill you cruelly!
Taha-pa unleashed an enraged roar.
Meanwhile, I spoke calmly.
“If you promise right now not to reach toward Qingdao any further, I will spare your life.”
They lured humans with blessings to sacrifice people.
Those people were used for rituals or as food.
Especially the most popular were young children.
They tasted good and were pure, making them perfect for rituals.
What was amusing was that the humans who made these sacrifices desperately yearned to become Goe-eo-in themselves.
‘Blessings.’
To become Goe-eo-in, humans sold other humans.
And humans who have devoted themselves for a long time and received blessings seep into the ranks of the Goe-eo-in, consuming human flesh offered by other humans or using it in rituals.
And those humans also desire the “blessing.”
Thus, for the sake of “blessing,” bureaucrats fall into this pit, and wealthy merchants fall into this pit as well.
“Even cults and pyramid schemes would be better than this.”
Within this insane system, the Doctor spoke.
The blood price you have paid on this land will be settled by the destruction of your city.
The empty city held not a single ant.
There were no elderly, for they did not age.
Offspring matured shortly after birth, so there were no young children to protect—a race truly without weakness, strong and mighty.
Even with broken limbs, they recovered instantly, so they suffered no disabilities.
It was obvious how inferior humans must appear to them.
So far, only buildings had been destroyed.
And I had beaten Taha-pa.
Ordering him to leave Qingdao forever.
Ending the logic of the blade with that.
-This land? Humans. Laughable. All of you. Our food. A breeding ground.
He was the owner of the breeding ground.
The owner of a breeding ground who knew that soon this world would belong to them.
-The sea will cover. The world. Soon. The time. Comes.
Indeed, he knew what lay sleeping.
Only he did not know that Jin Cheon-hee carried Boggi’s blood.
“If he had learned that, it would have been dangerous.”
I would have to keep hiding this for the rest of my life.
“I see. So you’re saying you won’t repel the invading Goe-eo-in army to the end?”
Even in this moment, the invasion continued.
-Humans. Weak. We. Eat. All. That is. Prophecy.
“…!”
At the word prophecy, Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes widened.
In that instant, the Imugi collapsed to the side as if expending its last strength.
In that gap, Taha-pa rushed in like a gale.
Sama Hyeon extended both hands, while Cheonwoo spread his legs shoulder-width apart, drew one hand back, and extended the other forward.
The moment the two prepared for combat.
Jin Cheon-hee recalled the enlightenment from when he had defeated Taha-pa before time reversed.
Boom!
As the Five Elements inner energy exploded from within his body, his heart raced wildly and tremendous power danced across his entire frame.
The moment he controlled that power and created its flow.
Sama Hyeon, Cheonwoo, Taha-pa, and the Imugi alike.
All lost sight of Jin Cheon-hee’s movements.
A speed so extreme that even Wuying Touguai would be astonished.
In that instant no one could perceive.
I had already reached Taha-pa and driven my blade through his heart.
Crash!
The speed was so tremendous that the impact force of that velocity overwhelmed Taha-pa entirely.
Pierced by the blade, Taha-pa and I were sent flying backward together.
In that state, we crashed directly into a wall.
Boom!
The wall of the building behind us exploded and collapsed.
I slowly stepped back out from among the rubble.
Within the debris, Taha-pa stood with his heart pierced by the Icy Frost Blade, his face twisted in shock.
-This… this cannot be. What is this. Exactly. Who are you.
I understood his astonishment, yet I slowly opened my mouth to answer.
“Five Elements Divine Art transcendence Heart Demon. The name is… Five Elements Genesis.”
-You… a fearful and terrifying being. Kugh….
At the same time.
Extreme yin energy began spreading from Taha-pa’s heart region, freezing his entire body.
Crack!
Taha-pa instantly became a single ice statue.
Soon after, as his entire body froze solid, cracks spread across it before it shattered and exploded.
Crash!
Fragments of ice scattered in all directions.
I extended my hand with an expressionless gaze.
‘Yes. This is like a mistake notebook. I can understand it because I’ve faced it once.’
Through the technique of grasping from emptiness, the Icy Frost Blade floated through the air and returned to my hand.
The Doctor’s fingertips trembled.
Was taking a life such a painful thing.
If one called it murder, my Master would deny it, saying they were not people.
Yet I felt my breath catch.
I must not collapse.
Turning to look back, I saw the Imugi gasping there.
It seemed the poison of Hyeongyeong’s toxin could bring death even to such a spiritual creature.
What purpose would there be in letting it suffer further.
I approached the Imugi with my blade drawn to ease its pain.
Slice!
The massive Imugi’s neck was severed.
My two sworn brothers gazed at me with expressions of admiration.
“Wow. Brother. How did you do that? I couldn’t even see it?”
“It was just like Elder Wuying Touguai… did you learn something new?”
“No. That’s not it…. Ugh.”
Just as I was about to answer.
I coughed up blood along with pain rising from deep within my body.
“Cough!”
Blood poured out along with the heart demon.
“Brother!”
“Brother!”
Two figures came rushing over.
I raised my hand to stop them.
“I’m fine. I’m fine. I’ve just sustained some internal injuries.”
‘As expected. It’s still not perfect. Using this Shimmoo always causes internal damage. I need to either reduce the output power to avoid injury, or learn to control it better.’
With that thought, I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.
Using the Hyeonwon Jeondan Singeong, I folded away the pain and emotions, again and again.
My younger siblings spoke cheerfully.
“We could make something from this Imugi’s scales and teeth, couldn’t we?”
“In the hands of a skilled craftsman, it would surely become a divine weapon~”
I nodded at Sama Hyeon’s words.
The bones, skin, tendons, and blood of such spiritual creatures were all materials for divine weapons.
Sama Hyeon immediately set about extracting the inner core, while I surveyed the surroundings.
“The sea fog is beginning to lift.”
Was it because Taha-pa had died?
Or because this Imugi had perished…
Or perhaps it was because we had destroyed the underground city.
Either way, it didn’t matter.
I immediately propelled myself upward to a higher vantage point.
Battles raged chaotically in all directions.
As I considered which side to assist first.
As the sea fog cleared, the Goe-eo-in began to panic and stumble about in confusion.
‘Hmm. They’ve only just realized their situation is hopeless.’
As their morale crumbled, my schoolmates seized the opportunity and began unleashing fire bombs relentlessly.
Not just throwing them carelessly.
They were coordinating the heat and spacing with precision.
They were handling the enemy exactly according to the formation patterns I had taught them.
‘They learn quickly. It seems they can apply techniques immediately after just one lesson, without needing practice runs.’
These were children personally trained by the Eunuch General.
Indeed, their combat was flawless.
“They’re fleeing! The Goe-eo-in are retreating!”
“Don’t pursue the deserters! Focus on holding the ground!”
“Waaaaah!”
Finally, all the Goe-eo-in began to withdraw.
Within the completely shattered formation, they could do nothing but fall.
A great victory! A truly magnificent victory!
The Magistrate recognized me and came rushing over.
“진 태수님! 태수님의 꾀주머니가 도움이 되었습니다! 태수님—-!!”
Since I had already faced them once before, I could discern the tactics they would employ.
It was something I could only accomplish because I had glimpsed the future.
‘Though for me, it is the past.’
Wonder gleamed in the Magistrate’s eyes.
As if he had witnessed something miraculous.
I spoke.
“Even though they have fled, the sea remains their domain, so they could attack again at any moment.”
It was a warning against complacency.
The Magistrate replied.
“Yes, quite right. However… should we not celebrate this magnificent victory achieved through your brilliant stratagem, my lord?”
The other soldiers added their voices to his words.
“Besides, having experienced the Goe-eo-in once, we will not lower our guard again.”
“And we have rooted out the Goe-eo-in spy!”
“Well spoken. Well spoken!”
Even the martial artists clapped and shouted.
A fervent heat filled Qingdao.
‘Yes. And we have also destroyed their cities.’
We had achieved victory.
A triumph worthy of legend itself.
Cheers erupted from distant quarters.
우와아아아아아—–!!
It was the finest of days.
