Chapter 130
“…I know.”
Affirmation. Nothing else was permitted to him besides that. If he had to find something else, it would only be death.
The Old Man knew this well too.
His expression was more hardened than ever.
Even knowing him, the Guild Master warned him until the very end.
“I hope you obtain what you desire. Whether that’s rebuilding your sect or not.”
“Guild Master! There was no need to bring that up here!”
“I decide what’s necessary.”
“…That was excessive.”
When the Old Man joined The Organization, what he wanted was one thing.
The restoration of the Old Man’s destroyed sect!
That’s right.
To them, the Guild Master was one who made dreams come true.
Even if his methods were somewhat extreme, they didn’t care.
What did it matter if countless people were sacrificed or died?
They were already those who had despaired in pain.
Many who joined for this reason were under the Guild Master and achieved their dreams.
It wasn’t as if the Guild Master gained nothing either.
The Guild Master had succeeded in establishing a foothold in the Four Blood Alliance using the power gathered through his current methods.
Having seen this, the Old Man had also joined The Organization.
He had kept his mouth shut and carried out even the somewhat extreme methods that didn’t suit him.
Even so, he hadn’t gained anything yet.
To think he would mention this.
‘Has the Guild Master changed?’
In the past, he wouldn’t have cornered him this much.
The failure of this matter was certainly a painful mistake for the Guild Master as well.
So this must be why he came out like this.
“As I said, whether it’s excessive or not is for me to decide.”
“….”
“Don’t forget. I am the one who will find what you have lost.”
“…I understand.”
The Guild Master continued to assert his authority over him like driving in a nail.
Only after finally hearing the Old Man’s agreement did he stop him.
Then he ultimately stated his demand.
“You must bring me Hangzhou without fail.”
Bring him Hangzhou.
At this point, the Old Man had already taken the first step.
Hadn’t he spoken of the Old Man’s wish in front of Ghost Face Prince?
In such circumstances anyway, the Old Man felt there was nothing left to hide.
“Of course. Wasn’t there a promise the Guild Master made before? The promise that if I bring Hangzhou, the Guild Master would restore my sect.”
“That agreement is still valid.”
“Then it’s settled.”
If only he could obtain Hangzhou for him.
He emphasized once again to keep the promise.
What this meant was clear.
The Guild Master and the Old Man were merely in a transactional relationship, and it implied they would part ways once the deal was done.
The Guild Master would also know that this made clear how things differed from before when he offered a certain loyalty. Even knowing this, he.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
Rather than saying anything more to the Old Man, he chose to leave with Ghost Face Prince.
The Guild Master left without looking back.
The Old Man, left alone, remained in place and stayed silent for a long while.
What was he pondering?
The future?
His relationship with the Guild Master?
He rolled his eyes until they turned red, then let out a deep sigh.
“I need to get to work. Hah…”
Swoosh-
He concealed himself in the same manner as the Guild Master.

Swish-
Wave Blade Jeon Neung-hwan’s blade shoots toward Jung Myeong.
[Parok Blade Method: End]
The final chapter of the Wave-Breaking Blade Technique!
Originally the most honest move of all.
But hidden within it was one clever hand technique.
Swoooosh-!
From one blade, another blade springs forth.
It was the Illusion Principle.
Such Illusion Principle doesn’t end at merely creating one illusion.
If such a crude thing could be called a principle, wouldn’t one just need to avoid the fake?
From the Super Peak Level onwards, Ki Manifestation becomes possible, so even fakes could show the same effectiveness as the real thing.
That was what Wave Blade was deploying.
Jung Myeong couldn’t help but be greatly surprised by this.
‘He mixed in illusion?’
It was Wave Blade’s blade technique, more honest than anyone else’s.
Hard to believe he was from wandering warrior origins, hadn’t Jung Myeong even felt great fondness for his honest blade technique?
But to think he would mix the Illusion Principle into it.
This wasn’t about Jung Myeong’s personal likes or dislikes.
‘I didn’t think of this.’
He was surprised because Wave Blade had approached in a completely unexpected way.
Dozens of exchanges.
To think he would add such irregularity within them to confuse him.
‘He’s grown again in the meantime.’
While he was engaged in bloody battles in Jeokgye County, Wave Blade who had returned to Hangzhou had clearly made great efforts as well – this was such a move.
‘I can’t just stand still either.’
When his opponent was showing a move he had worked so hard on.
Would it do for Jung Myeong to just passively receive it?
“Please receive this.”
Whoooosh-!
From the sword gripped in Jung Myeong’s hand, the same Illusion Principle as Wave Blade’s unfolds.
If he had put strong power into one illusion, Jung Myeong was the opposite.
Dividing his power into dozens of parts, he instantly created dozens of swords.
Thus, he created swords to counter Wave Blade.
Clatter-clatter-clatter- Clatter-clatter-
His hastily created swords shot toward Wave Blade’s two blades.
The power contained in each sword was insufficient compared to Wave Blade’s.
Jung Myeong’s countering swords seemed to shatter all too futilely.
‘Why on earth would he use such a move?’
For Wave Blade, who was facing Jung Myeong directly, it was a bewildering move.
He had expected Jung Myeong to respond to the Illusion Principle he had employed.
There were two expected responses to that.
One was to use Strength Mastery to greatly overpower the force Wave Blade himself had shown.
The other was to counter using the Illusion Principle as he was doing now.
He had clearly thought Jung Myeong would use the latter method.
Because the Illusion Principle was originally embedded in the Three Origin Kill Sword that Jung Myeong used.
And indeed, he was right.
‘He did use the Illusion Principle, but…’
However, the swords he created to counter with were far too crude.
Weren’t they breaking more easily than expected!
‘What is this!?’
There was no way he would show such a pathetic move.
There must be something to it.
‘Whatever it is, I’ll break through it.’
Whoooosh-!
Therefore, Wave Blade once again infused energy into his blade.
He was clearly intent on concentrating his power to destroy whatever move Jung Myeong had made.
It was a method befitting him, engaging in a frontal confrontation unlike a typical Wandering Warrior.
Whoooong-!
His sword slashed fiercely once again.
However, that was his fatal mistake.
“It seems you’ve missed something, haven’t you?”
“What do you…”
Jung Myeong, who was responding to him, pointed it out.
What on earth had he missed?
The move Jung Myeong had used in response to him had crumbled pathetically.
And now he was concentrating his power to completely destroy even the remaining moves.
Where could his mistake possibly be in this situation…
“Below.”
“!!!!”
There it was!
The move he thought Jung Myeong had pathetically deployed.
The dozens of sword fragments that had broken and disappeared.
That was the move Jung Myeong had created.
Swoooosh-!
Jung Myeong’s swords that he thought had broken pathetically. Those fragments shot toward him. With each piece transformed into hundreds of lethal hidden weapons!
‘Ahhh…!’
It was indeed a mistake.
From the beginning, it had been a sword created through the Illusion Principle.
When that sword broke, it should have disappeared!
Wasn’t it strange that it continued to exist in fragments even after breaking?
But he had paid no attention to that and used his next move.
Now wasn’t the time to make a move, he should have escaped from the board Jung Myeong had set up.
But he had failed to do that and thrown his next move like this.
‘How can I possibly dodge this!’
There was neither time nor method to dodge.
But he couldn’t give up either.
He was someone who knew no surrender.
“Uryaaaah!”
Thwaaaack-!
Clang- Clang!
With strange sounds, he was busy blocking the Hidden Weapon Barrage that Jung Myeong had unleashed.
‘Kugh…’
His blocking wrist ached.
Moreover, he already realized that even this was ultimately dancing to Jung Myeong’s schemes.
The second move he had launched forcefully.
Twisting himself sharply and increasing speed was itself playing into Jung Myeong’s machinations.
No matter how skilled a super peak level master might be, if they change their pre-established blade trajectory and hand techniques, they’re bound to suffer losses.
Even knowing this, he had no choice but to block like this.
‘I was completely overwhelmed in hand combat…!’
From Wave Blade’s perspective, being defeated despite knowing what was coming, he could only click his tongue in amazement.
Even in the midst of this, he frantically swung his blade.
Clang clang clang- Clang!
In the end, he finally managed to successfully block the hidden weapon barrage that Jung Myeong had created.
Though his skin was torn all over his body and there wasn’t a single uninjured spot.
Having avoided fatal wounds was sufficient for him.
“Huff… gasp…”
However, would Jung Myeong have just stood still during this time?
Wave Blade, who had exhausted himself from frantically swinging his blade.
Something cold was already touching his neck.
Even though Wave Blade’s entire body was burning hot from the technique he had rapidly deployed, this thing possessed a chilling coldness that made his hair stand on end.
Wave Blade knew very well what that cold thing was.
It was Jung Myeong’s sword.
Jung Myeong asked while pressing the sword blade against him.
“We should end this, shouldn’t we?”
There was only one thing Wave Blade could say in response.
“…I have lost.”
It was only a declaration of defeat.
Only then did Jung Myeong leisurely withdraw his sword.
“It was a satisfying match.”
“For me, it was too disappointing a match. I never imagined I would be defeated like this…”
Jung Myeong was satisfied, but for Wave Blade, it was greatly disappointing.
However, there was no need for that.
“But didn’t you gain something instead?”
“What did I gain?”
“Didn’t you learn that it’s hard to win with half-hearted techniques?”
“!!!!”
“I know that Wave Blade’s convictions are strong and robust. But when such a person brings illusion principles to face me, how could you properly exert your strength?”
“Ahh….”
At Jung Myeong’s explanation, Wave Blade belatedly realized what he had truly obtained.
