Chapter 213

Internal energy exploded within me.

It began with the Buddhist martial arts of Gyeong-oe Gi-hyeol.

Golden anti-demonic energy rose majestically.

Then my true inner power, demonic energy, boiled throughout my entire body.

“Mabul-gi…!”

Had he heard about it from his son and daughter who attended the Cheongyeon Assembly?

Even seeing my Mabul-gi, Mo-yong U didn’t seem particularly surprised.

He raised his sword to match my momentum and glanced at Eok Grandfather and Moryong Gil.

Mo-yong U’s eyes suddenly changed in that moment.

“…?”

Before I could even grasp his intention.

Swoosh!

Mo-yong U instantly closed the distance and swung his sword in a surprise attack.

For the head of one of the Five Great Families to launch a sneak attack on a girl like me – it was absurd, but I could roughly guess his character.

Clang clang clang!

Sword light flashed before my eyes.

The speed was so fast I couldn’t even see its complete form.

I hastily retreated and deflected the sword.

Clang!

Of course, Mo-yong U’s sword was already thrusting at me again.

It was truly an amazingly fast swift sword.

When I blocked his sword again, the tip of Mo-yong U’s blade trembled and the sword path split in multiple directions.

Over ten blue sword energies rushed at my torso.

It was sword division that surpassed extreme speed.

Retreating would only make my movements clumsy.

“Ha!”

I deployed a defensive technique from the Mahu Sovereign Sword that I had never used before.

Where Mahu resides, heavenly lotus flowers bloom.

Mahu Lotus Bloom.

The sword energy gathered on the Mahu Phoenix Sword moved fluidly in midair as if drawing a picture.

The sword energy that started as sword threads soon became surfaces, creating a sword barrier.

Clang clang clang clang!

Over ten sparks flew in succession over the sword barrier that bloomed like a lotus.

Eok I-geon had said that the weakness of swift swords was breathing.

After pouring everything into one breath, when drawing the next breath, a gap is revealed for just an instant.

‘Now!’

I didn’t miss that instant and leaped forward.

A single thrust.

Unlike Mo-yong U, I extended my sword aiming only at his chest.

As offense and defense switched in an instant, he seemed flustered and threw his body to the side to dodge.

Did he think I would let him escape!

If Mo-yong U had swift swords, I had the Mabong Flying Phoenix Steps.

The phoenix that flies ninety thousand li with one wingbeat.

That wingbeat was contained in my footwork.

Bang!

Whoosh!

While Mo-yong U desperately fled from me, I chased him quite leisurely.

It was a moment when I felt anew how remarkable Mahu’s martial arts were.

“Hup!”

Judging that only fleeing wasn’t the answer, Mo-yong U quickly turned around and swung his sword.

It was indeed an extremely powerful swift sword.

I met his swift sword with overwhelming internal energy.

Clang clang clang clang!

Mo-yong U’s sword struck my sword this way and that, but I wasn’t shaken in the least.

It was because I had incorporated the principles of heavy sword into my sword technique.

Do you know how much I practiced this?

I sparred with Eok I-geon until I was sick of it!

“Grr!”

Just before my sword pierced his chest, Mo-yong U gritted his teeth and threw a punch.

Bang!

The force of his fist twisted my shoulder and changed the trajectory of my sword as well.

Slash!

The Mahu Phoenix Sword cut through Mo-yong U’s side instead of his chest.

“Ugh!”

Mo-yong U groaned and quickly retreated, creating distance between us.

Blood poured steadily from his side.

Heh, I could feel through my fingertips that the sword had gone quite deep.

“Huff! Huff!”

Mo-yong U glared at me while gasping for breath.

We’re just getting started and you’re already running out of stamina?

Mo-yong U, who was pressing his acupoint to stop the bleeding, seemed to want to rest for a moment, but naturally I had no intention of just watching.

Bang!

I spread the phoenix’s wings wide once again.

Like a phoenix soaring through the sky, I approached his side in an instant.

“Hup!”

I could clearly see Mo-yong U’s pupils dilating.

I’m too fast, aren’t I?

Whoosh!

He hastily unleashed sword wind, but I simply blocked it with White Jade Hand.

Shall we end this now?

The most cruel technique among the Mahu Sovereign Sword techniques, Mahu Heaven’s Sweep.

Swoosh!

I mercilessly sent sword energy flying toward Mo-yong U.

Swoosh swoosh!

Swoosh!

Since all I had was internal energy, I unleashed sword energy without reserve.

Boom boom boom!

Mo-yong U’s wide-open eyes were saying:

How can that young girl have such sword energy!

It was understandable that he couldn’t comprehend it.

He couldn’t possibly know that I was an internal energy powerhouse.

I might still be a martial arts novice lacking refinement in technique execution, but I wouldn’t lose to anyone in terms of internal energy!

Understand?

I muttered words he couldn’t hear to myself while persistently pressing Mo-yong U’s swift sword.

Eventually, under the continuous impacts, Mo-yong U’s body was pushed back.

“Ugh!”

He resisted to the very end with his swift sword, but ultimately succumbed to the Mahu Gunrim Sword.

Thud!

Unable to withstand the merciless and violent pressure of my internal energy, Mo-yong U’s knees finally buckled.

Soon after, unable to hold out any longer, even his sword shattered into pieces.

Crash!

“Cough!”

Perhaps from overexerting himself trying to resist my limitless internal energy, Mo-yong U coughed up blood and collapsed.

His face was as white as a sheet of paper, and his limbs were convulsing violently.

As expected, you need to have a lot of internal energy!

How frustrated must this man who lived twenty or thirty years longer than me feel to be dying from lack of internal energy.

Of course, he’s a bad person who committed great sins, but anyway, I was grateful for my internal energy.

“Grandmother’s enemy!”

I raised my sword high.

This would be my first kill, but I wasn’t afraid.

Rather, I was only happy that I could avenge Grandmother.

“Sister!”

Just as I was about to plunge my sword into Mo-yong U’s heart.

Huh? Sister?

Suddenly, a familiar voice caught my ear.

The only one who calls me sister in this world is Yang Ha-rin, right?

What!

When I turned my head, I really saw Yang Ha-rin.

Why are you appearing here?

And what’s with that appearance?

I blinked my eyes and looked Yang Ha-rin up and down.

The girl who used to act like a princess with all sorts of luxuries had appeared looking like a beggar.

From how those standing beside her were politely greeting me, they seemed to be from Hyeon-wol-dang.

“Ha-rini!”

“Sister!”

At my belated call, Yang Ha-rin shouted my name and ran over.

“Waaah!”

Then she buried her face in my arms and burst into tears.

“Why are you here?”

“Why do you think! I came for revenge!”

At my question, Yang Ha-rin stopped crying and answered sharply.

‘Ah, revenge.’

Right, the Shinchang Yang Clan was annihilated and only Yang Ha-rin survived.

‘Sigh.’

Since I had also contributed to that, albeit slightly, I felt guilty.

Looking at Yang Ha-rin clinging to me without knowing this made my heart heavy.

“Everyone died except me.”

Yang Ha-rin started sobbing again.

“Grandfather, brother, father, mother… But what’s the point of me being alive?”

“…So you came here to die too?”

“Yes!”

Yang Ha-rin nodded while sniffling.

“I’ll kill however many I can and then follow my family! Why, is that wrong?”

Oh my.

The young girl who had been so immature was now consumed by revenge, acting as if she didn’t care about herself at all.

Having suddenly become an orphan, how must she feel.

I was already troubled by thoughts of Yang Ha-rin that occasionally surfaced, but seeing her in person made me feel even more sorry for her.

“But I didn’t expect the Dang Family to step forward like this.”

“I don’t know if you know, but it was the Moyong Family that framed our grandmother.”

“…Sister, I have a favor to ask.”

“A favor?”

Suddenly Yang Ha-rin looked apologetic.

“Let me finish this.”

“…What?”

“Sister, you want to avenge grandmother too. I really understand that feeling.”

Yang Ha-rin’s way of speaking was completely different from before.

They say environment shapes a person, and she had matured in that short time.

“But sister, your grandmother is still alive.”

That’s right.

But thinking of our Shin Geum’s seventeen years of hardship…

“This bastard, this bastard! He cut off father and mother’s heads!”

Gasp!

You saw that directly?

Tears welled up in Yang Ha-rin’s bloodshot eyes.

“Sister, so please let me do it! Please?”

Yang Ha-rin grabbed my hand and pleaded.

“I’ll do whatever sister tells me to! I can even die if you tell me to!”

“Why would you die?”

Though we hadn’t spent that much time together, it seemed I had grown quite fond of her.

Even if she were a complete stranger, anyone would feel pity in this situation.

I didn’t want to leave this young child alone either.

Honestly, since I had already beaten him enough, yielding wasn’t a big problem.

Besides, there was still Moryong Gil.

“Will you really do everything I tell you to?”

“Yes! I promise!”

Her eyes looked like she would sell her soul to the devil to get revenge.

‘There’s no choice.’

Yang Ha-rin, I’ll take you in.

Since you’re alone anyway, come with me to the Demonic Sect.

With her personality, she seemed like she could survive as a demon too.

“Alright. You do it.”

I stepped back, pretending to be considerate.

“Thank you, Sister Seolha. I’ll never forget this kindness for the rest of my life!”

Yang Ha-rin roughly wiped her tears with her sleeve and picked up a spear.

Even then, Mo-yong U was still trembling in his limbs and coughing up blood.

Yang Ha-rin looked down coldly at Mo-yong U and forcefully struck down at his heart with the spear.

Thunk!

Blood splattered as Mo-yong U’s finely trembling body went limp.

“No, nooo!”

From somewhere, Moryong Gil’s wailing could be heard.
