Chapter 151

 

Jung Myeong’s sword energy burst forth.

 

The power contained in the sword energy, which held the enlightenment he had gained previously, was tremendously sharp.

 

“Inoooooom!”

 

Tuhwaak!

 

Ju Ma-ji-sal, who faced this attack, was no pushover either.

 

Even while treating his internal injuries, he swung his left hand and unleashed finger techniques.

 

Several energy waves created by his finger techniques flew out in an instant.

 

Taaaang-! Tang!

 

The energy waves extending from his hands soon grew larger and struck Jung Myeong’s sword energy in mid-air.

 

The sword energy shattered and a massive energy wave spread out.

 

Tuhwaaaak-!

 

As if he had already anticipated this, he launched third and fourth finger techniques to block it.

 

It was a skilled move that only a cunning veteran could display.

 

“….”

 

“!!!”

 

Jung Myeong was also surprised.

 

However, there was no need for questions or answers.

 

What technique was used, what the intention was – none of that mattered.

 

Since both knew this.

 

Without exchanging any more words, they continuously launched attacks.

 

Tuhwaaaak-!

 

Taaang!

 

Dozens of martial techniques were exchanged in an instant.

 

But that time was not very long.

 

It was too short a time for Ju Ma-ji-sal’s former comrades to come protect him.

 

* * *

 

This brief time created different situations for various people.

 

‘Ju Ma-ji-sal is being pushed back!’

 

‘It’s the Poison Demon Physician. Since he’s fallen behind by one move… At this rate, Ju Ma-ji-sal will inevitably be defeated!’

 

The martial artists from Hoe and Ryeon.

 

Many of them thought now was their chance.

 

A chance to escape!

 

They had only cooperated because death was right before their eyes.

 

Weren’t they originally those who had tried to flee from the beginning?

 

They had only stayed because no opportunity arose, but there was no reason to miss it when the chance came.

 

They seized the opportunity that had finally come their way.

 

“Let’s run!”

 

“Now’s our chance!”

 

The first one to run shouted loudly.

 

As if telling others to flee together.

 

This wasn’t a shout made out of consideration for other martial artists.

 

‘What if I run away alone and meet some disaster…!’

 

Running away simultaneously would increase their survival probability.

 

It was an instinctive act to improve their survival rate.

 

And the effect was tremendous.

 

“Hey! These bastards!”

 

“Oh my!”

 

“Where are you going!”

 

Those who had been helping Ju Ma-ji-sal’s former masters.

 

The space between them became empty.

 

This made it difficult for those who had been continuously pressing Cheong Yeon-geom and the other two to easily retreat.

 

‘Damn it!’

 

‘The plan has gone wrong!’

 

The masters of the previous generation realized they were in trouble.

 

They had to either help Ju Ma-ji-sal.

 

Or if that wasn’t possible, at least kill those three.

 

Only then would they have a chance to survive.

 

But the ones who were supposed to serve as shields had run away like this.

 

It became difficult for them to accomplish either goal.

 

“Where do you think you’re going?”

 

“Showing your back while martial artists are fighting?”

 

“Haha. Come over here quickly!”

 

Cheong Yeon-geom and the other two saw this as an opportunity.

 

Tuhwaaaak!

 

They greatly raised their energy as if they had been waiting for this moment.

 

Their energy rose greatly as if their internal energy hadn’t been consumed by the battle so far.

 

The masters of the previous generation twitched their lips at this.

 

‘What kind of internal energy do these young ones have!’

 

‘How is this possible?’

 

‘Surely they should be exhausted after swinging their swords that much. Why aren’t they tired?’

 

It was a reaction that came from a situation that was difficult to understand.

 

These three had no intention of hiding anything at this point.

 

The three took out spirit pills from their robes as if showing off.

 

Crunch. Cruncrunch.

 

They chewed and swallowed them right away, as if to show off.

 

“These… crazy bastards are using spirit medicine like water…!”

 

“Huh…”

 

Shaaa-

 

The sharp fragrance of the spirit pills spread out.

 

The masters of the previous generation realized the full story of the situation.

 

The seemingly infinite internal energy these people possessed.

 

Its true identity lay in the spirit pills they had chewed and consumed!

 

These people weren’t fools either.

 

As if proving they weren’t strong because they survived, but strong because they survived, they showed quick thinking.

 

[Those bastards have virtually unlimited internal energy!]

 

[Damn it. We’ve been pushing them with internal energy until now… but if that won’t work, what do we do?]

 

[We can’t just retreat like this.]

 

[Ahem… Then let’s just do what we can.]

 

These people were ultimately Evil Sect martial artists too.

 

Though they had come at Ju Ma-ji-sal’s call.

 

They weren’t the type to sacrifice their lives alongside him.

 

If Ju Ma-ji-sal were still strong, they would fight to the end for what he promised.

 

[Looking at how things are going, it’s completely hopeless.]

 

[That’s what I’m saying.]

 

At this moment when defeat seemed more likely than victory, they weren’t the type to maintain loyalty.

 

Thwack! Bang!

 

Even as they kept moving their hands, they continuously gauged.

 

An opportunity to join the fleeing ones and escape!

 

It was a moment when the weakness that Orthodox Sect masters mocked was revealed even more greatly in the masters of the previous generation!

 

* * *

 

Could Ju Ma-ji-sal fail to read such a situation?

 

‘It’s ruined! Everything has been ruined!’

 

He deeply sensed that the Guild Master’s orders he had received would fail.

 

No, more urgently than that, he knew his own life was hanging by a thread.

 

‘What should I do about this?’

 

More than the situation, he struggled to organize the chaos in his mind.

 

Originally, Ju Ma-ji-sal was one who played with his head, calculating moves and countermoves.

 

Having manipulated people and used them as pawns, when he was reversed upon, he revealed weaknesses never seen before.

 

Not his body, but his mind began to waver.

 

How could Jung Myeong, who was facing Ju Ma-ji-sal, fail to read this?

 

‘Gaps keep being created.’

 

He realized that mental demons had visited Ju Ma-ji-sal’s mind.

 

Therefore, toward the gaps that appeared, he continuously sent his sword.

 

Tearing open the gaps, he thrust poison into the intervals that appeared.

 

Combining sword and poison, he melted the enlightenment he had gained into this very moment and fought in a new way.

 

If before the two had operated separately, now they were completely unified, making his moves even more precise.

 

“Huh…!”

 

This became a move that even Ju Ma-ji-sal, who had observed Jung Myeong many times, did not know.

 

‘Has he become even stronger in the meantime!?’

 

Ju Ma-ji-sal realized it was difficult to endure each and every move.

 

‘How far wrong are my calculations about this guy!’

 

At this, his mind wavered even more greatly.

 

‘Now is the time…!’

 

Jung Myeong realized the moment he had been waiting for had come.

 

Thwaaack-!

 

He swiftly swung his sword that had been aimed upward directly toward Ju Ma-ji-sal with fierce force.

 

“!!!!”

 

An unexpectedly bold move.

 

This caught Ju Ma-ji-sal off guard.

 

He couldn’t respond properly.

 

“No, no!”

 

Panicking, he flailed the hand that should have launched finger techniques.

 

Puuuuk-

 

His chest was pierced directly by the sword energy his blade had sent.

 

Keuuuuk…!”

 

It was the moment Jung Myeong’s sword completely penetrated his chest.

 

The two had become completely close.

 

At this, it was the instant Jung Myeong tried to pull out his sword and escape from Ju Ma-ji-sal.

 

“You, you… you are… you…”

 

Ju Ma-ji-sal clung to Jung Myeong as if embracing him.

 

Though he looked wretched, clinging as if begging pitifully, Ju Ma-ji-sal didn’t mind.

 

Since enormous internal energy still remained.

 

He didn’t die and while clinging, looked up at Jung Myeong.

 

Was this a moment of clarity before death?

 

His eyes that had lost reason became clear and sharp again.

 

“You… shouldn’t have… killed me like this…”

 

“Nonsense.”

 

“You will… regret this… You will truly regret this greatly!”

 

“Are those your last words?”

 

Jung Myeong spoke words that sounded absurd to his own ears.

 

Then he let out a sneer as if mocking Jung Myeong.

 

“…If you hear from… Ju Tae-gong… Hehe… You’ll regret it. You’ll truly regret it…! Hehehe. When that time comes, don’t be shocked when you hear where I’m from.”

 

He threw out these words with all his remaining strength, as if he absolutely had to convey this message.

 

What nonsense was this supposed to be?

 

Yet he seemed to smile with satisfaction, as if he had left behind something meaningful.

 

‘Is he spouting nonsense to leave behind some kind of mental poison?’

 

Was this a vile trick he threw out while going out disgracefully to the very end?

 

Or did he truly believe there was something to regret?

 

Jung Myeong couldn’t know for certain at the moment.

 

Kuuuung!

 

Because Ju Ma-ji-sal, who should have answered him, lost his strength and breathed his last.

 

“Well, I don’t know what he meant. But it probably doesn’t matter.”

 

He left Ju Ma-ji-sal’s corpse where it was without bothering to collect it.

 

This was because he was disgusted by Ju Ma-ji-sal, who used fellow humans as mere pawns.

 

For him, someone like Ju Ma-ji-sal was nothing short of anathema, so he didn’t even treat him as human.

 

To him, Ju Ma-ji-sal with his human skin was no longer important.

 

What mattered was moving for the sake of other living humans.

 

“Cheong Yeon-geom! I’m coming!”

 

“Please hurry! Haha!”

 

Jung Myeong’s body rushed toward the surviving allies.

 

* * *

 

Tuhwaaaaak-!

 

Jung Myeong, who had rushed out, targeted the strongest master first.

 

It was Su Yeon-geom.

 

Jung Myeong’s intervention broke Su Yeon-geom’s flow. The characteristic of Su Yeon-geom’s sword technique was creating infinite power amplification through continuous flow.

 

The moment that flow was broken.

 

“Kuk…!”

 

Su Yeon-geom’s throat was slashed by someone who had always been looking for a chance to escape.

 

Mong Joong-sal and Cha Hyeol-do were no exception.

 

As Su Yeon-geom died, Cheon Pung-il Geom, who was freed, joined in to kill Mong Joong-sal.

 

Then Jung Myeong moved to help Wol Swae-do, who was facing Cha Hyeol-do.

 

“To end so futilely…”

 

Su Yeon-geom had been the strongest master from the beginning.

 

The moment he fell, the death of the other two was already decided.

 

Paaaang! Kwajuk!

 

Before long, both of them completely collapsed.

 

With this, all the top masters of this island had lost their lives.

 

“Ahh…”

 

Only then did the survivors realize.

 

That there was no way to escape from here anymore.

 

At this, they began kneeling down one by one.
