Chapter 45
“Are you feeling a bit better now?”
The man who was with us asked So-un, that is, Tam-rang, about his well-being.
“If you’re sick, just rest well. Did you come out on purpose to take care of these guys’ meals? So-un, you’re really something.”
He was sick?
How ridiculous.
It was clear he couldn’t even come to work on time today because of the injuries I inflicted on him at Geumhwa Tower yesterday.
“Let me introduce everyone. This is So-un, the chief disciple of General Jegal.”
Thanks to the man’s meddling, I finally came face to face with Tam-rang.
By the way, author, isn’t this setting a bit too much?
How can a seat holder of the Bloodsky Sect be the chief disciple of the Martial Arts Alliance’s general?
This is almost like mockery, isn’t it?
The part I casually read through in the original work now seems to have been quite the plot hook.
Jegal Mun-gi took on the position of general and implemented unprecedented reforms in the Martial Arts Alliance’s Military Department.
It was to solve various problems and evils that arose from the Jegal Clan’s monopoly over the Martial Arts Alliance’s military positions for many years.
He worked to transform it into a healthy organization that maintained a certain distance between the Jegal Clan and the Martial Arts Alliance’s Military Department, while also enabling mutual cooperation when necessary.
As part of this, he selected talents from within the Martial Arts Alliance and personally took them as disciples to raise them.
Tam-rang might have been a beneficiary of that.
‘Uncle Cheon-gi Susa would gasp and collapse if he knew this fact.’
“So-un, you should introduce yourself too. This is… ah, come to think of it, we haven’t even exchanged names yet.”
The meddling man finally realized he didn’t even know our names and scratched his head awkwardly.
It’s fine.
I can introduce myself.
I smiled wickedly at Tam-rang and then put my palms together.
“Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.”
“…”
A moment of silence flowed between us.
Tam-rang just stared at me silently without saying anything.
Just as I was inwardly curious about how he would react.
“Pfft! Kekekekek!”
Suddenly, Tam-rang burst into laughter he had been holding back.
“…So-un?”
When Tam-rang suddenly looked at us and laughed, the man in the middle made a troubled expression.
Regardless, he asked me.
“How did you know?”
“Can’t tell you.”
In books, usually at times like this, people get intoxicated with a sense of victory and kindly tell them, but not me! Never!
I need to use this again next time, so I can’t easily reveal it.
I protect my own abilities.
“So-un, are these people you know? I heard that the general’s order… gack!”
Tam-rang grabbed the man’s throat while keeping his gaze fixed on me.
Crack!
And before I could stop him, he brazenly broke his neck.
“What kind of damn bastard is this!”
Uncle Wang rushed out urgently and swung his iron staff.
Bang!
Tam-rang easily blocked the iron staff and threw the man he was holding toward Uncle Wang.
“Hey there!”
Uncle Wang quickly laid the man on the floor and checked his condition.
But he was already no longer of this world.
“You’ve finally shown your true colors.”
I carefully observed Tam-rang, who stood at a distance from me.
He seemed relaxed at first glance, but there was a faint tremor at the corner of his mouth.
“Your internal injuries are quite deep, aren’t they?”
Baeksu Mujeong had properly struck his chest.
Unless it was an expensive elixir.
It would be difficult to heal easily with ordinary medicine.
When I sneered, his eyebrows twitched.
“How dare you commit murder in the middle of the Martial Arts Alliance?”
Just before I was about to clash with Tam-rang again, Uncle Wang approached, bursting with anger.
This was the first time I had seen Uncle Wang so furious.
An unprecedented killing intent emanated from Uncle Wang holding his iron staff.
“Starting with you, I’ll uproot the Bloodsky Sect!”
“Puhahahaha!”
At Uncle Wang’s shout, Tam-rang laughed as if he had lost his mind, holding his stomach.
His uvula was visible and tears even formed in his eyes.
“Kekekek, this is really driving me crazy. I don’t understand why all these orthodox sect bastards are so uniformly stupid.”
He barely held back his laughter and pointed at me with his finger.
“Hey, Gaebang! Do you even know what that bitch next to you really is before acting so cocky?”
Tam-rang, you bastard.
You’re going to expose that here?
“I’ll personally tell you. That bitch is Cheonma’s Disciple and the First Miss of Maegyo. You brought her here like an idiot without even knowing that? Being played by Maegyo like…”
“Shut up!”
Uncle Wang shouted angrily as if he couldn’t listen anymore.
“Is all you can do sow discord?”
“That’s right.”
Honestly, I was slightly nervous, but Uncle Wang’s trust in me was indeed solid.
“The main text originally causes a lot of misunderstandings. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.”
I recited the Buddhist name and naturally awakened the Buddhist power of Gyeong-oe Gi-hyeol.
Whooooo!
Thanks to the enlightenment that Elder Buljon had forcibly instilled in me, my Buddhist power had reached a level incomparable to before.
‘Thank you, Elder Buljon.’
A majestic golden radiance bloomed from me.
As the anti-demonic energy descended upon the backyard, the smile completely disappeared from Tam-rang’s face.
His expression hardened stiffly, showing he was quite surprised.
Impressive even to you, isn’t it?
Who could suspect me of being the First Miss of Maegyo after seeing me now?
My appearance, having suppressed demonic energy and cultivated Buddhist power, wouldn’t look out of place even among Shaolin Temple monks.
Hah!
I closed the distance with Tam-rang in a single step and launched a hand strike at him.
The energy filled with golden Buddhist nature struck down on his shoulder.
“Hah!”
Tam-rang twisted his body and met my attack with his palm.
Crash!
“Guk!”
His courage was admirable, but there was an overwhelming difference in power between him and me.
Even though I’m young, I don’t lose to anyone in terms of strength.
How many elixirs had I consumed, and the internal energy I had built up with Maju-cheon and the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pills was exceeding four cycles.
Well, Tam-rang didn’t know about my circumstances, so that’s why he was attacking.
“Kragh!”
Tam-rang was sent flying and rolled across the floor tumbling.
He tried to get up immediately, but his knees buckled as demonic energy wreaked havoc inside his body.
“Damn it! Cough!”
Tam-rang barely lifted his head to glare at me and spat out another handful of blood.
Following yesterday’s injuries with another internal wound, the pain must be considerable.
“You hid your demonic energy well, First Miss.”
Tam-rang wiped the blood from his lips and slowly straightened his back.
“No wonder you could slip away.”
Was he acknowledging me?
I felt pretty good about it.
“This Guy is sowing discord to the very end!”
Uncle Wang charged at Tam-rang again, swinging his iron club.
Somehow he seemed angrier than I was.
I resolved that Uncle Wang must never find out I’m from the Demon Faction.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang-kwang!
Tam-rang’s twin palm strikes clashed with Uncle Wang’s iron club, creating fierce explosions.
Neither had any intention of backing down, and their attacks only grew more intense.
However, as the exchange continued, the balance of power began to gradually shift.
“Ugh!”
Blood trickled down from Tam-rang’s tightly clenched lips. Overexerting himself with internal injuries was bound to cause problems.
His complexion was so pale that it wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed right now.
Finally, Tam-rang deflected Uncle Wang’s iron club and leaped back.
Kwa-kwa-kwang!
And as the iron club tore up the innocent floor, he quickly created distance.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
I immediately blocked his escape route so he couldn’t flee.
“Keke-kuk!”
Tam-rang chuckled.
“This is hilariously insane. Maegyo’s First Miss running wild in the Martial Arts Alliance.”
“For someone who finds it funny, you’re in pretty terrible shape, aren’t you?”
From repeated coughing up blood, both his hands were trembling like he had tremors. His legs were also shaking as if they’d give out any moment.
“Without your soul-stealing techniques and illusion arts that you were so confident about, you’re worse than a low-grade warrior.”
I openly mocked him.
Tam-rang already knew through experience that his soul-stealing and illusion techniques didn’t work on me.
On top of that, with internal injuries, it must have been even more burdensome.
“Hah! Don’t mistake this for your victory.”
“…What?”
“I lost this time, but I promise you. Next time, no matter what, First Miss, I’ll kill you first.”
Cursing at me, Tam-rang pulled out a cylinder from his chest.
When he pulled the string attached to the cylinder, red fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Shuu-uung— Bang!
Pa-ba-ba-ba-bang!
Even in broad daylight, red light covered the heavens.
Clang-clang-clang-clang-clang!
Soon after, fierce bell sounds rang out from the Military Headquarters.
What’s this?
Suddenly the atmosphere stopped.
The sky darkened, and an enormous energy engulfed the pavilion.
“Uncle Wang!”
When I turned around in anxiety, Uncle Wang spoke as if screaming.
“The, the Heavenly Wheel Formation!”
“The Heavenly Wheel Formation?”
I had heard about it from Grandmother.
The crystallization of defense created over several generations by the Jegal Clan, the heart of the Martial Arts Alliance’s Military Department, to prepare for enemy invasions.
That famous Heavenly Wheel Formation had been activated by Tam-rang.
