Chapter 53

Bang!

I stepped on the Mabong Biryu Step toward Tam-rang.

Due to the nature of Gyeong-oe Gi-hyeol being an independent pressure point, my internal energy was intermittent, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought.

Having closed the distance with a surprise attack, I thrust my palm strike into his chest.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

His surprise at my Buddhist power was brief, as Tam-rang immediately countered with a palm strike.

Whoooong!

Crimson blood energy surged from him.

Crash!

My golden hand force and his blood-red palm wind collided, creating an intense explosion.

“…!”

And at that moment, something amazing happened.

Tam-rang’s blood energy instantly melted away against my Buddhist power. His blood energy crumbled pathetically without being able to resist.

“What the hell…!”

Tam-rang looked at me with a face as if he might faint.

‘W-wow!’

I was equally surprised.

I realized it at the same time.

That my Buddhist power and his blood energy were natural enemies.

‘No, that’s not right.’

Since the blood energy melted without being able to exert any power, this was a one-sided domination.

Then there was no reason to hesitate.

I quickly dove into Tam-rang’s embrace and unleashed a barrage of Baekoksusu Magic techniques.

Crack!

Crack crack crack!

Under my relentless hand techniques, Tam-rang gritted his teeth and barely held on.

However, his blood-red energy cracked and shattered completely every time it collided with my Buddhist power.

“Damn it!”

He seemed greatly shocked.

Unlike before, his openings were particularly prominent.

I didn’t miss that moment and kicked upward with all my strength.

Thud!

From my kick, Tam-rang was pushed back, carving a deep furrow in the floor.

“Urgh!”

Judging by how he clutched his chest and groaned, the pain seemed considerable.

“Fuck, what the hell are you?”

“Huh? You don’t know who I am? I thought you did?”

“Why doesn’t Blood Bone Mountain work on you!”

“Ah, you’re curious about that?”

I can’t tell you that.

“And what’s with that filthy monk energy dwelling in your body!”

Tam-rang had an expression like he was going crazy from not understanding.

Well, I would have felt the same way.

He probably wondered if this was some kind of hidden camera show.

It meant that such an absurd situation was unfolding.

I chuckled and approached him.

Then Tam-rang shouted as if screaming.

“Cheongpunggi!”

Suddenly, why Cheongpunggi?

My question didn’t last long. Tam-rang’s eyes had already turned red.

That meant he had activated his soul absorption technique.

Indeed, the eyes of the gathering Cheongpunggi Members were all vacant.

“Burn your original energy to draw out your latent power!”

At Tam-rang’s command, the Cheongpunggi Members opened their hidden points and death points starting with Baekhoehyeol without a moment’s hesitation.

“Crazy…!”

Original energy was the energy a person was born with, that is, life force.

Burning it meant reaching death, essentially becoming suicide bombers.

‘That bastard!’

Anger surged again at Tam-rang’s methods of not caring about means and methods for his own purpose.

“Krrrrgh!”

“Aaaaah!”

As their original energy went berserk, the Cheongpunggi Members’ martial arts levels amplified several times over.

“Kill that bitch!”

The Cheongpunggi Members, having lost both reason and ego, charged at me all at once, burning their lives at Tam-rang’s command.

“Protect Miss!”

Yu-un and the other Bongwang-dae Members jumped into the fight in earnest.

“They are pitiful souls. Kill them as quickly and painlessly as possible!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

At my instruction, the disciples wielded their killing techniques without hesitation.

But the opponents were like lost souls who completely disregarded defense and only carried out attacks.

Normally, the Bongwang-dae would have easily subdued them and more, but today they were barely managing to defend.

Just as I was about to run to help the Bongwang-dae, I saw Tam-rang trying to escape in the confusion.

‘That bastard!’

Looking at it now, Tam-rang’s specialty seemed to be running away rather than soul absorption and illusion techniques.

“…”

After hesitating for a moment, I turned toward my subordinates.

The answer was already decided.

I could catch Tam-rang again, but I couldn’t tolerate my disciples getting hurt.

Weren’t these the ones who trusted me and followed me this far?

“Don’t worry about us!”

That’s when Yu-un’s voice reached me.

“You mustn’t let Tam-rang escape!”

He shouted while facing two Cheongpunggi Members.

“Just as this subordinate trusts First Miss, please trust us!”

“We’ll handle this side!”

“Eok Hwi-gyeom! Stay behind me!”

That feeling wasn’t Yu-un’s alone.

The other disciples were also desperately holding on.

‘Then I need to end this with a quick battle.’

I felt strangely moved by their reliability, different from my grandfathers.

I immediately flew toward Tam-rang with all my strength.

Shriiiiek!

I drew the energy of Gyeong-oe Gi-hyeol to its limit.

As if responding to my will, the Mahu Bonghwang Sword let out a low cry.

The energy of demon subjugation flowed along the blade, and golden Buddhist energy formed on the sword edge.

“Haaah!”

Kicking off from midair, I struck down as if to split Tam-rang’s body in half.

Kwaaaaang!

This guy rolled across the floor by a hair’s breadth, dodging the Mahu Bonghwang Sword.

Suaaaaaaak!

I relentlessly pressed my attack on Tam-rang.

Slash!

Swaek!

Tam-rang did his best to block my sword, but before the Buddhist power, his blood-red energy couldn’t exert any strength at all.

His shoulder was pierced, his side was split, his back was cut, and Tam-rang soon became covered in blood.

“Keurk!”

Cornered to the end, Tam-rang barely leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. Blood pooled around him.

“I really didn’t want to use this move… Klkl. Ptooey!”

Tam-rang, who had been grinning, spat out a clot of blood as he stood up.

His bloodshot eyes were focused solely on me.

Even while straightening his twisted body, he didn’t take his eyes off me.

“Let’s see then. Whether you die or I die.”

Tam-rang, who seemed to have resolved himself to something, stabbed his own pressure points with his hands just like the Cheongpunggi members had done.

Was this guy planning to take us both down together?

I decided to observe his behavior for now.

“Heuuuu.”

A pained breath leaked out from deep in Tam-rang’s throat.

His eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged grotesquely on his face and body.

At the same time, paradoxically, a smile that seemed intoxicated with pleasure bloomed at the corners of his mouth.

‘What’s he plotting?’

His blood energy doesn’t work against my Buddhist power anyway.

But what was that composure about?

Chiiiiiiik!

As I watched Tam-rang with suspicious eyes, red steam suddenly rose from his body.

‘Is this the smell of blood?’

A thick bloody scent wafted from the blood-red aura that had become much denser than before.

The moment I realized this fact, the wounds on his body began to heal as if by magic.

“Krkrkrkrk!”

Skin dyed red, bloodshot red pupils.

Tam-rang’s appearance was like looking at an evil spirit starved for blood.

“One of us has to die for this to end. I wonder if it’ll be you or me.”

Tam-rang slightly bent his knees, then kicked off the ground and flew up.

“…!”

In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of me.

“Dieeeeee!”

Tam-rang swung his fist at me, filled with martial energy.

I also countered his punch with golden energy.

Kwaaaaang!

With an explosion incomparable to anything before, tremendous shockwaves swept in all directions.

“Heup!”

Caught in the aftermath, I was pushed back considerably.

Meanwhile, Tam-rang remained standing in his original spot.

‘Damn it!’

Being overpowered was one thing, but my Buddhist power had been greatly depleted.

The Gyeong-oe Gi-hyeol, which couldn’t circulate energy, wasn’t internal power that could be quickly replenished like danjeon energy in the first place.

I had to settle things with him before my Buddhist power was completely exhausted.

“Kikikik, is this the reversal now? I want to grab your throat once more.”

The corners of Tam-rang’s mouth curled up with a bloody smile.

“Think you can?”

“The one who dies won’t be me, but you!”

Tam-rang cursed and disappeared from sight.

I instinctively twisted my body and swung my sword.

Bang!

“Kuk!”

I blocked his fist that came from behind, but the impact transmitted to my arm was tremendous.

“Puhahaha!”

Tam-rang burst into laughter again and concealed himself.

Hidden in the blood-red aura, a second attack came.

Kwaaaaaaang!

My insides were shaken up and bile rose up my throat. I didn’t know what he had done, but it was power and movement on a completely different level from before.

Clang!

Finally, my Buddhist power hit rock bottom and the sword fell from my hand.

“This is the end! Die, First Miss!”

Tam-rang aimed for my heart and thrust his hand toward my chest.

I couldn’t be helplessly defeated like this.

Just as I gathered all remaining internal power and grabbed the incoming strike with both hands.

“Om somani somani hum harihanna harihanna hum.”

Suddenly, the demon-subduing mantra echoed in my head.

Surprisingly, the voice chanting was Elder Buljon’s.

Swaaaaa―

The Gyeong-oe Gi-hyeol opened and began absorbing natural energy at a terrifying speed.

This wasn’t happening by my will.

“Om somani somani hum harihanna harihanna hum harihanna banaya hum anaya hok baabam baara hum batak om somani somani hum harihanna harihanna hum harihanna banaya hum anaya hok baabam baara hum batak…”

Elder Buljon.

What did you plant in my body?

Huh?
