Chapter 75
The mansion of the Cheonhyeol Yeo Clan, one of the Six Great Demon Clans of the Demonic Sect, resembled a massive fortress.
The grand manor surrounded by black tiles and red pillars exuded an overwhelming atmosphere in itself.
Especially the red-painted gate created the illusion of being stained with blood at first glance.
The eyes of the evil spirit carved in the center of the gate glared at visitors as if issuing a warning.
“Tell them someone from the Tak Family has come.”
No-gak shouted loudly in front of it.
The response that came back was astounding.
“An honored guest is currently visiting our main house. Orders have been given not to receive any visitors today.”
“Then we’ll just take the First Miss and return.”
“Why are you looking for the First Miss here?”
“We came knowing she’s at Yeo-ga.”
“You seem to be mistaken. The First Miss has never visited our main house.”
“Are those words true?”
Shin Geum’s patience, which she had been suppressing with great effort at Yeo-ga’s shamelessness, finally exploded.
She had expected it, but they had not even the slightest intention of handing over Seolha.
“Since words don’t get through, there’s no choice.”
Shin Geum passed by No-gak and advanced toward the gate.
Clang!
“No further approach is permitted!”
Two burly demons who had been standing guard crossed their spears in an X-shape to block the path.
However, Shin Geum did not stop.
‘Seolha.’
Beyond that gate, Seolha was waiting for her to come.
Anyone who dared to obstruct her path would not remain unharmed.
“Kill!”
When Shin Geum did not stop, the order to kill was given.
“Hah!”
“Huah!”
The demons swung their spears without a moment’s hesitation.
As if they had practiced together regularly, one aimed for Shin Geum’s head while the other targeted her abdomen.
Bang!
Shin Geum calmly raised her arm to block the spear flying toward her head.
Then she wrapped her Three Yang Hand around the spear shaft rushing toward her abdomen and gripped it tight.
How could such strength come from an old woman?
Shin Geum’s build was less than half the size of the demons.
To the two who widened their eyes in surprise, she scolded.
“Don’t resent me.”
They could not predict at all what was about to happen.
“What!”
When Shin Geum roughly yanked the spear shaft, the man staggered. At the same time, her foot kicked up strongly against his chest.
Thud!
With a dull sound like leather tearing, the demon spat blood and flew through the air.
Thump!
The body that crashed to the ground showed not even the slightest movement.
Shin Geum showed not a trace of mercy.
Having obtained the opponent’s spear, Shin Geum immediately threw it at the remaining demon.
Thud!
The sound of a living being bursting was loud, but Shin Geum showed no reaction whatsoever.
Having dispatched both guards in an instant, Shin Geum’s entire body was completely stained with blood.
That was not the end, but the beginning.
Shin Geum picked up a spear and thrust it into the center of the gate.
Thwang!
The spear shaft, embedded precisely between the evil spirit’s eyes, deep in its brow, vibrated and trembled.
“H-how dare!”
The gatekeeper who had been watching the scene from above was so enraged that he gasped and stammered.
Crackle!
It was then that the spear shaft suddenly began to rot.
“…!”
The decay that started at the end of the handle soon spread to the gate.
Brown-green spots appeared sporadically on what had been a brilliant red surface, and in an instant the gate that had boasted such majesty melted into a mushy mess.
Not only that.
Even the pillars supporting the massive gate rotted and broke, causing roof tiles to come crashing down.
A fishy poisonous smell began to spread through the thick dust and smoke.
‘She hasn’t neglected her training even after joining the sect.’
Tak Joong-hak, who had been watching from behind, could not help but admire.
With a single spear thrust, the symbol of the Cheonhyeol Yeo Clan had collapsed.
The back of Shin Geum as she straightened her spine and proudly entered Yeo-ga was no different from a great hero.
“Gah!”
The gatekeeper, who had been stunned for a moment, drew his sword.
Rage filled him to the top of his head with guilt and humiliation at failing to protect the gate.
“The crime of trespassing on Yeo-ga’s land without permission deserves death!”
He rushed at Shin Geum like lightning and swung his sword.
“Is that so?”
But Shin Geum’s move was faster.
Swoosh!
The palm strike she unleashed sent the gatekeeper sliding backward, carving a deep furrow in the ground.
“Urgh!”
He thought he had blocked it, but hadn’t he?
“Cough!”
The man clutched his chest.
Pain he had never felt in his life struck his insides.
“Cough!”
Finally the gatekeeper collapsed, spitting blood. Like spitting ink, black blood continuously gushed from his mouth.
‘What kind of nonsense is this….’
Only then did he realize something was wrong.
Just before losing consciousness from the pain of his organs burning, he barely managed to squeeze out strength to fulfill his final duty.
Shrill—
Having completed his task, the gatekeeper immediately collapsed backward.
Shrill!
Shrillll!
The sound of whistles echoed in all directions.
It was a warning sound announcing that enemies had invaded the Cheonhyeol Yeo Clan.
“It’s an invasion!”
“Everyone form ranks!”
Before the whistle sound had even ended, demons came rushing out competitively.
“Tak Ga-ju, what is the meaning of this!”
Among them, a man on the roof of a pavilion raised his voice toward Tak Joong-hak.
He was Hyeok Ri-cheon, the leader of the Blood Wolf Unit who had lured Seolha to Yeo-ga with lies.
“I’m the one who broke down the gate.”
Shin Geum’s voice shook the air.
“Where is my granddaughter now?”
“I don’t know who you are, but you’ve thoroughly crossed the line.”
Hyeok Ri-cheon glanced outside, pretending to look at the collapsed gate.
‘Baek-gwi Hyeon-ma-dae.’
It was clear evidence that the Tak Family had come with serious intent.
‘I need to deal with this old woman before they step in.’
As the leader of the Blood Wolf Unit, he had to receive compensation for the destroyed gate to save face.
“Kill her!”
At Hyeok Ri-cheon’s command, the Blood Wolves around drew their swords in unison and rushed into her blind spots.
Swish—
At the subtle sound of footsteps, Shin Geum spun her body like a top and swept her sleeves.
It was the Dang Family’s famous hidden weapon technique, One Throw Three Flowers.
Thwack thwack thwack!
With a single gesture, three feathered needles flew out, striking the danjeon, solar plexus, and philtrum of the nearest Blood Wolf, blooming red flowers.
“Gaaah!”
All three spots were fatal vital points. With a death cry, the opponent immediately perished.
Using that brief opening, four Blood Wolves simultaneously covered Shin Geum’s sky and slashed their swords.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Shin Geum used the Iron Bridge technique to lean her body backward and swept her sleeves once more.
Whoosh—
Clang clang clang clang clang!
At Shin Geum’s gesture, twelve needles flew out and struck down the swords imbued with sword energy.
Following One Throw Three Flowers, it was the hidden weapon technique Chain Twelve Flowers.
“Impossible!”
Following the first, four more breathed their last on the spot.
Shin Geum leisurely flipped her body and leaped again into the midst of the panicked Blood Wolves.
And rapidly spinning her body, she scattered her sleeves.
“Urgh!”
The Blood Wolves fell helplessly to the Chain Twelve Flowers unleashed once more.
Twelve blood flowers drawn in blood were endlessly created.
The bloomed blood flowers rejoiced at being able to bloom again, flowering beautifully and sharply from Shin Geum’s hands.
‘This old woman is no pushover!’
Hyeok Ri-cheon’s cheek twitched.
He had thought it would look bad for him as the leader to step in personally, but it was a completely wrong judgment.
“I’ll handle her!”
Then one Blood Wolf confidently stepped forward before Shin Geum.
He was Gok Yang, one of the Blood Wolf Unit’s deputy leaders.
Having already experienced Shin Geum’s hidden weapons once, he calmly deflected the feathered needles with his sword and penetrated into her embrace.
“Hyah!”
Gok Yang didn’t approach carelessly.
He cautiously drew near and unleashed his sword energy in one stroke, aiming for Shin Geum’s neck.
Swoooosh!
Shin Geum leaned back at the waist and narrowly dodged the sword.
‘Did you think you only needed to avoid the hidden weapons?’
A sneer naturally formed at the absurdity.
Whoooosh!
From Shin Geum’s palm, the hot yang energy of the Sichuan Tang School’s poison martial art, Three Yang Core Origin Technique, bloomed like a heat haze.
Within that yang energy slept a more serene green flower bud than ever before.
When the Great Yang of yang energy and the Lesser Yang of poison energy unite in Bright Yang, they form the Three Yang.
Based on the Three Yang Core Origin Technique, both a poison martial art and poison technique, the Three Yang Divine Palm exploded on Gok Yang’s chest.
Bang!
Golden yang energy penetrated his chest, and a green flower, a poison flower, bloomed in that spot.
Gok Yang’s body quietly crumbled to the ground.
Whoooosh—
Shin Geum’s hair fluttered in the golden aura.
“Where is my granddaughter?”
Green light exploded from Shin Geum’s eyes as she spoke each word with force.
