Chapter 968
“Ou. Everyone looks rather grim.”
I sat at the center of the formation, gazing down at those below.
The peak of the island’s highest mountain.
Exactly forty-eight flags in eight colors were planted around me as the focal point.
And above my head, the Wonhyangban floated gently, spinning in circles.
Normally, once a formation is installed and refined, it requires no further adjustment from the formation master to operate.
That would be true for ordinary formations.
However.
The Jegallim Family’s formations operated on entirely different principles.
It was possible to alter the formation’s power and effects in real-time from its center.
‘My Master showed me something like that with the Refinement Formation.’
By observing the heavens and timing, one could constantly rearrange the spirit stones and create the optimal formation for refinement cultivation.
If I could calculate all this with merely the Hyeonwon Jeondan Singeong, then I could create the formation I’m using now.
And I had incorporated sorcery and even improved upon it.
A sorcery formation blended from what I learned from the Moshan Sect.
‘Right. Koreans are all about bibimbap.’
The moment I thought that, I craved stone pot bibimbap.
Once this is over, I’ll definitely make some.
Uuuuuung—
The formation was an object created through the combination of my unique imagination.
It had never appeared in the Gangho of the Dosan Sword Forest before.
And the fate those who faced its results would meet would be utterly tragic.
“Ou, how convenient. They’ve all let their guard down.”
“Let their guard down? What do you mean?”
Namgung Un asked from beside me.
The enemies were approaching with ominous momentum, already drawing their inner energy to its peak.
Moreover, they had formed disciplined formation patterns among themselves, and they were already moving while operating their own formations.
From my current level, I could clearly see how this intent was taking shape.
‘The intent rises sharply!’
It was like watching a fortress wall made of intent.
Just as Shaolin had their vaunted One Hundred Eight Arhat Formation, the Demonic Cult also possessed formations they took pride in.
Not formations laid upon the earth, but living formations where people themselves became the formation’s axes—the Martial Formation!
The Iron Blood Demon Family’s Iron Tower Blood God Formation and the Myriad Killing Family’s Slaughter Weapon Formation were examples!
Since they were already moving while deploying that absolute formation, they were undeniably threatening!
So saying they had let their guard down would be incorrect.
That’s what Namgung Un thought.
But my thoughts were different.
“They’ve already entered inside my formation. That’s the oversight.”
They don’t know.
The formation wasn’t laid out inside the island.
The formation was already positioned outside the island.
It even extended all the way to the riverbed.
The moment we boarded the boat and came onto the water, we had already entered the formation!
“Then. Shall we begin?”
I pulled out a pale blue flag and waved it frantically like a madman.
“By the command of the Five Sacred Peaks’ Great Emperor and the Lord of Mount Tai, the waters of mountains and valleys flow as the sea embraces all rivers. Thus the river follows the mountain’s will. Move according to this decree!”
As the flag waved, the formation shifted.
The formation’s axis installed at the riverbed began moving violently, fusing with the power of the incantation.
Whoooooosh!
A whirlpool!
A suddenly formed whirlpool shook and sucked in the boats they had ridden.
Crack!
The boat’s wood twisted, and in an instant it was swallowed by the raging waters and began to shatter.
It was truly a catastrophe that defied belief even when witnessed with one’s own eyes.
The demonic cultists froze at the insane spectacle and turned to look back.
Moreover, as the boats were swallowed by the water’s whirlpool, the river water churned and enormous clouds of mist began to pour out.
From the mountaintop, the view below became so obscured by mist that one could no longer distinguish enemy from ally.
“What is this…! Even our family’s Formation Masters can’t do something like this!”
“Well, if they had the theoretical foundation, terrain, and time to prepare, they could manage it.”
“That can’t be…?”
Namgung Un shook his head in disbelief at the sight.
Then I planted the flag I had been holding back and pulled out four flags of different colors, hanging them from my shoulders.
And then.
I drew the Seven Silver Zither and held it like a rock star.
With flags planted on both shoulders and the Seven Silver Zither in hand, my appearance was unmistakably that of a madman, yet my eyes remained calm.
‘There’s no need to pull out the Heart Demon as well.’
Heart Demon Unity.
It was certainly proven through experimentation that deploying it would show considerable effect against those who had learned demonic arts.
In the previous case with Dokun’s subordinates, they were completely suppressed by my aura when I achieved Heart Demon Unity and couldn’t even fight properly.
The Great Demon suppresses the Small Demon.
‘But is there really a need to go that far?’
Countless small versions of me answered that question.
Some of me agreed, while others argued that Spirit Demon Unity was more stable.
The thinking of Hyeonwon Jeondan allowed many conclusions to be reached at once.
Like countless branching variables.
As if rolling dice with six possible outcomes.
Each small version of me held up their own die result and stated their conclusion.
‘Achieve Spirit Demon Unity!’
‘Don’t underestimate the compatibility between Great Demon and Small Demon.’
‘If I use it too frequently, my mental landscape might eventually wear down.’
‘I’m perfectly capable with my own strength—why should I rely on something demonic?’
‘Bah! To depend on such things is weakness. What could be more important than establishing your mind through your own sword?’
‘Does sword-heart put food on the table? If we could pierce through everything with that, why would we be suffering like this?’
Each of the little Jin Cheon-hees believed their own thoughts were correct.
‘However, it is I who will make the final choice.’
The greater Jin Cheon-hee reached his conclusion.
‘I trust myself. I will trust in everything I have built!’
I knew that this island contained all the paths I had walked thus far.
If I were to collapse, then that path would not be the right answer either.
But because I knew my footsteps had not been wrong… I drew a deep breath.
It was time to find the answer to the question.
“Very well then… Yunmu Orchestral Symphony. Begin.”
The cloud mist surged upward into the sky.
Sssssss—
Why would I clear away the mist after merely obscuring the view?
The mist that rose created a ceiling in the heavens.
At the same moment, I began plucking the guqin.
And then I opened my mouth.
[Ah. Microphone test. Microphone test.]
Strangely enough.
My voice began to resound across the entire island.
“W-what is this…?!”
“Could it be a sound technique?”
“No. Even if it were a supreme-level sound technique, such a thing would be impossible!”
Cheong-yeon spoke.
“It’s a formation. This one appears to be infused with sorcery as well.”
Correct.
Because of the power of formations and sorcery, my voice was distributed evenly across the entire island!
Namgung Un spoke.
“How is such a thing possible? Jin’s younger brother.”
“If you provide sufficient time and budget.”
“Hmm?”
“If you provide sufficient time and budget, it becomes possible.”
After turning off the librarian button in my mind, I infused my words with inner energy once more.
[Good evening, everyone. I’m DJ Jin Cheon-hee, your host for tonight’s festivities. We have so many distinguished guests here at the Supaechai venue today. This promises to be quite the exhilarating evening!]
‘Jin’s younger brother’s madness has begun.’
Namgung Un watched with an expression of enlightened acceptance.
[Now then, shall we all work up a sweat? I’ve prepared an absolutely thrilling piece for you all. Come now, let’s enjoy together! William Tell Overture. Finale!]
The performance began.
* * *
William Tell Overture.
Originally, a story about William Tell of Switzerland who opposed the Habsburg family was made into an opera and then into music.
Especially the finale section of this music creates the sensation of horses galloping at full speed.
It truly possesses a powerful and intense melodic energy that is unparalleled.
Track 18 at the sports festival.
An enchanting BGM.
Not just at sports festivals, but listening to it makes one feel like they should be holding a betting slip and wagging it like a dog, but regardless.
That song now plays here.
Pam pa-ba-bam pa-ba-bam!
A sound that should have originally been played by trumpet now resonated through the golden instrument.
A cheerful sound announcing the start of the competition.
Simultaneously, an incredibly fast and cheerful pam-pa-ba sound echoed across the entire island. And that sound grew louder and louder.
Rising higher.
Becoming massive.
증폭된다—!
That’s right.
This massive formation prevents the sound from escaping outward, allowing it to reverberate within and create a surround sound effect!
And playing this piece on the Seven-Stringed Zither somehow began to evoke the soul of rock music.
Pam pa-ba-bam~ pa-ba-bam! Pa-ba-bam! Pam pam-ba-pa-ba-bam-pam-pa!
Pa-ba-bam pa-ba-bam pa-ba-pa pam-pam-pam~ pa-ba-bam pa-ba-bam pa-ba-bam pam-pam-pam!
Pa-ba-bam pa-ba-bam pa-ba pam-pam-pam~ pa-ba-a~ pa-ra-ba-ra-ba-ra-bam-pam-pam!
It was an extremely cheerful and joyful piece of music.
At the same time, the power contained in that sound struck the members of the Iron Blood Demon Family and the Myriad Killing Family.
Pam pa-ba-bam~
At the first measure, explosions erupted around them as if bombs had fallen.
“Kwaaaaah!”
Music is explosion!
As if to prove it, the air burst outward, sweeping away the demonic cultists.
And not just in one place—explosions erupted indiscriminately everywhere!
Pa-ba-bam pa-ba-bam pa-ba-pa pam-pam-pam~ pa-ba-bam pa-ba-bam pa-ba-bam pam-pam-pam!
With the sound, explosions burst forth here and there, and someone shouted.
“Run! -pa-ba-bam- We must escape -pa-ba-pa- from these explosions!”
Boom boom boom!
What’s even more astonishing is that these explosions harmonize perfectly with the performance!
The sounds of large cymbals and drums that would normally be in a concert were now being produced alongside the explosions.
A solo concert unfolds here and now.
And what an intensely explosive performance it is!
However.
Whooooosh!
Indeed, the elite of the Iron Blood Demon Family!
Protective energy surged across their entire bodies.
While not reaching the level of true inner strength, they advanced forward, their powerful external martial arts allowing their bodies to withstand the explosive force.
Of course, not all of them managed this.
Some lost consciousness and were hurled backward, while others were caught in the explosion and thrown, their limbs broken as they collapsed.
Yet still they pressed forward with unwavering determination.
However, the demonic cultists of the Myriad Killing Family suffered catastrophic losses.
Since they were not masters of external martial arts, the vast majority had already been annihilated.
Grrr!
Soegooju Cheong-yeon gritted her teeth.
She advanced forward, her cherished spear in hand, raising her protective inner strength.
Following behind her came the Vice Gaju, Blood Killing Demon Cheong-seon.
Her expression had long since twisted into something vicious and malevolent!
Soon enough.
Yeo Ha-ryun and his subordinates began to come into view ahead.
“Kill them!”
Heukrok roared, surging past his subordinates to charge directly forward.
His entire body blazed with crimson protective inner strength, rotating like a crusher.
The signature technique of the Iron Blood Demon Family!
Geumgang Blood Shackle—a devastating technique born from the union of Blood Mandate Pagoda Geumgang Divine Art and Cheonma Divine Art!
A demonic technique that pulverized opponents by colliding with them using his massive body itself as a weapon.
However.
One.
“Your opponent is me.”
A dark voice instantly froze the surroundings.
Two.
