The Youngest Son of the Jin Family of Luoyang – Chapter 215

Moryeong Hyeok could scarcely comprehend the situation unfolding before him.
It was fortunate that the scattered Paeng Dohan had returned.
As one of the most skilled warriors within the Changryong Dan, his arrival kindled hope that they might overcome this dire predicament.
Yet beside him stood someone entirely unexpected.
Jin Cheon-u.
A presence he had hoped never to face again.
He could not fathom why that man was here.
He stood motionless, blocking the path of the Flesh Demon Duo with an air of absolute inevitability.
As though mere underlings were beneath his concern.
The lofty gleam in his eyes as he regarded the Flesh Demon Duo radiated an unsettling composure and unwavering confidence.
Standing before the Powerful Expert who had brought the Changryong Dan to this state.
The meaning was singular.
He possessed the conviction that the Flesh Demon Duo, at their level, could not possibly threaten him.
In the moment Moryeong Hyeok clenched his teeth and turned his gaze away.
Whoosh—!
A blade suddenly came flying from somewhere.
Slow, yet more precise than expected.
Aimed directly at Moryeong Hyeok’s throat, the gap was too narrow to block or evade.
In the instant his eyes widened in shock.
Clang—! Slice!
Namgung Yeon’s blade appeared suddenly, striking the enemy’s sword aside and slashing across the attacker’s neck.
“Gurk—!”
The man clutching at his bleeding throat staggered, his eyes rolling back as he collapsed, and only then did a small sigh escape Namgung Yeon’s lips.
Soon her gaze turned toward Moryeong Hyeok.
“Do not lose focus. The blades of our enemies show no mercy, even to those of the Number One Sword Sect.”
“…!”
Having spoken, Namgung Yeon turned and rushed toward the battlefield.
Moryeong Hyeok, who had been staring after her, felt the presence of another enemy and gripped his sword tighter, his expression turning vicious.
‘Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!’
Moryeong Hyeok swung his blade as though venting his fury.
He could not even discern whom he fought or where he struck.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
He simply painted his opponents in blood.
Intent on making them pay dearly for daring to raise their blades against him, he cut with increasing ruthlessness and cruelty.
Yet his rage would not subside, and he gnashed his teeth.
Jin Cheon-u, whom he had believed to be far beneath him, displayed composure even before the Flesh Demon Duo, those supreme masters.
As though demonstrating the vast gulf between their levels.
Watching him, I couldn’t help but feel diminished by comparison.
Yet there was something that cast an even greater shadow over this situation.
Grind—
Moryeong Hyeok gnashed his teeth and turned his gaze elsewhere.
Namgung Yeon.
As though the martial techniques of the Number One Sword Sect were being reborn anew, she dominated her opponent with elegant and beautiful swordplay.
The space her blade touched became an inviolable domain—nothing could penetrate it, and anything that dared enter would crumble.
Moryeong Hyeok clenched his jaw.
He had heard of it before.

The Azure Heaven Unobstructed Sword Technique.

Yet he had heard it was lost and incomplete, but seeing it now, that didn’t seem to be the case at all.
It was threatening.
Incomparably so compared to Jin Cheon-u, the son of the Jin Family.
The moment she continues to grow.
An anxiety seized him that the Moyong Family would be shaken.
Everything displeased him from beginning to end.
Jin Cheon-u, his servant, and even Namgung Yeon.
If he could, he wanted to cut them all down.
Yet his instinct sensed a fear of Jin Cheon-u, and he could not reveal his killing intent toward him.
Moryeong Hyeok steadied his breath and turned his head.
What entered his eyes was none other than Namgung Yeon, her back turned, wielding her sword.
She was far closer and had far more openings than the terrifying Jin Cheon-u or the distant servant.
If he made his move now, there was nothing stopping him….
“Hyeok—!”
Then.
At the sudden cry, Moryeong Hyeok came to his senses.
Turning his head subtly to look, Paeng Dohan was staring at him with trembling eyes.
The tip of his blade was not directed at the enemy, but at his ally.
He had seen it with his own eyes.
At that expression of utmost gravity, his brow furrowed, Moryeong Hyeok casually moved his blade and turned his back.
Swish, swish, swish—slash!
Then he struck.
An enemy who had drawn near was pierced with a flurry of thrusts.
As Moryeong Hyeok, sprayed with blood across his entire body, shook the crimson-stained blade clean, Paeng Dohan’s voice came, tinged with stern warning.
“Get your head in the game!”
“What are you saying… how amusing. In this situation, it’s you who needs to get your head in the game. If you don’t want to die by a blind blade, watch your surroundings better than you watch me.”
….
Moryeong Hyeok wore a bitter smile.
There was a time when I considered him a true friend, even if I could never fully bare my soul to him.
But then, inexplicably drawn to Jin Cheon-u, he eventually stopped trying to understand me at all.
Moryeong Hyeok pondered this.
Such a friend was worthless.
Slash!
Like cutting down an enemy before his eyes.
If anyone stood in his way, he would cut them down without hesitation.

* * *

Even while receiving the combined assault of the Flesh Demon Duo, I remained composed.
I knew their level better than anyone, and I had experienced firsthand exactly how they sought to ensnare their opponents.
Combined with the overwhelming gap in power I concealed, their fierce barrage of attacks stirred no emotion within me whatsoever.
Instead, my attention drifted elsewhere.
Moryeong Hyeok.
That brief flash of killing intent I had sensed.
If what he directed toward me was jealousy, envy, and inferiority, then the look in his eyes as he gazed upon Namgung Yeon was something far more threatening.
That is why I had drawn my sword against him.
Had Paeng Dohan not appeared, he would certainly have come closer.
I was certain that even knowing fully what he intended to do, Moryeong Hyeok would not have hesitated to extend his blade.
“How unfortunate.”
I shook my head as I regarded Moryeong Hyeok.
If he extended his sword toward Namgung Yeon, all justification would be ours.
Namgung Yeon, knowing this better than anyone, would have welcomed the blade and killing intent directed at him.
Merely watching him sigh quietly as he glanced at Moryeong Hyeok, I sensed that he felt a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had slipped away.
This was the perfect moment—to end Moryeong Hyeok’s life here and drag the honor of the Moyong Family into the depths in one fell swoop.
In that moment, I found myself smiling faintly without realizing it.
“You wretch! Where do you find such composure!”
“This… this bastard…!”
At last, the enraged voices of the Flesh Demon Duo rang out.
Their momentum was truly vicious.
They were well aware that even in the midst of this fierce battle, I paid them no mind whatsoever.
Their relentless assault grew even more savage.
Chain scythes and swords poured forth in succession, unstoppable.
They gave me no opening to defend.
I moved my body as I assessed this.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
If I could not block, then I would simply evade.
Treading the footwork technique, I cleanly dodged every attack.
Not a single strike grazed my body, nor even the hem of my robes.
Sweat began to pour profusely down the faces of the Flesh Demon Duo, and anxiety was plainly evident in their eyes.
No matter how skilled they were, this was a life-and-death struggle against a mere greenhorn.
It seemed they believed that with their accumulated experience and survival in the treacherous martial world, this young man—still lacking in experience—could not overcome such a gap.
I regarded these two and asked.
“Where are the Blood Demon and Red Night?”
“…!?”
The two were startled by my sudden question.
Sip Murang and the Flesh Demon Duo, Red Night and the Blood Demon.
These five are the core.
From the look of things, there appeared to be no one commanding them separately, so it was certain they were tightly united around the Blood Demon.
Their levels were all similar, but when it came to leading people, there was no one quite like the Blood Demon.
At that moment, the elder of the Flesh Demon Duo looked at me with trembling eyes.
“You bastard, how did you….”
“Ah—you mean that? There’s nothing strange about it. I was in the Peach Blossom Paradise too. And it was I who released you.”
The moment I spoke with a sneer playing at my lips, they opened their eyes even wider as though unable to believe it.
As though they had never expected to be entangled in such circumstances.
In that instant, I saw the trembling eyes of the younger one flicker momentarily toward something.
I did not miss that moment.
A pale blue sword aura rose up fearfully.
Then I witnessed the shocked expression of the Flesh Demon Duo.
It was the moment they realized the power contained in the sword aura was beyond their capacity to withstand.
Screeeech—!
The extended sword aura then formed a sharp crescent.
Along with the bodies of the Flesh Demon Duo, even the trees and rocks beside them were cleaved as easily as tofu.
Boom—boom—boom—!
Whoooosh—!
A tremendous sound accompanied the cascading blood.
The violent crash of trees and rocks hitting the ground.
Simultaneously, watching the Flesh Demon Duo collapse while spewing blood, everyone present—friend and foe alike—could not hide their shock.
I ignored their gazes and turned my head.
There was a presence I could sense from some distance away.
Two of them.
Undoubtedly the Red Night and the Blood Demon.
I felt the presence that had been watching this place, lingering for some time, now rapidly disappearing.
“Are they fleeing?”
Had this been a truly fierce battle, they likely would have intervened to change the situation, but they seemed to have lost their nerve at this unexpected turn of events.
They would hurry to escape this place.
These were men who valued their own lives more than the camaraderie they had shared in the Peach Blossom Paradise.
However.
“There is also someone on that side. A reaper no less formidable than I.”
I clicked my tongue lightly and turned my gaze away.
The moment I met eyes with the surviving subordinates of the Flesh Demon Duo, they began trembling and lowering the weapons they held.
It seemed this matter had reached its conclusion.

* * *

“…What on earth is that man?”
“That… I’m not sure. But he’s an incredibly powerful expert.”
Upon hearing Red Night’s words, the Blood Demon swallowed a groan.
This was no ordinary level of strength.
I could say with certainty that even if the Blue Heaven Sect had arrived, they would not reach this caliber.
Especially that final technique he displayed.
Considering the sword energy that extended forth was at a level even the Blood Demon could not produce, it was almost unbelievable—could he have actually reached the transcendent realm?
The dimensional difference in his strength was so overwhelming that I felt foolish for standing by, ready to offer assistance at any moment.
The Blood Demon ran, trembling.
This was not merely a problem with that one man.
Those two entities roaming about, wielding sword and fist everywhere.
Though incomparable to the first one, I could still feel a strength capable of overwhelming the Changryong Dan.
Where had such monsters suddenly appeared from?
Every plan in my mind had been thoroughly crushed, leaving only the survival instinct that we must live through this.
Then.
As Red Night ran for some distance, she discovered something.
“…Isn’t this Sip Murang?”
“…!?”
A corpse sprawled upon the ground.
Though mangled beyond proper recognition, the clothing alone made it unmistakably Sip Murang.
He was already dead.
At the gruesome sight, both Red Night and the Blood Demon broke into cold sweat.
In that moment.
A chill was felt.
A massive shadow suddenly fell across the surroundings where there had been not even the slightest presence, and Red Night, startled, attempted to turn her gaze too late.
Shing—!
A sudden flash of light, and Red Night’s body was split in half. In an instant, blood sprayed, and warm blood drenched the Blood Demon’s form.
Thud—!
Red Night’s bisected body was discarded like garbage.
Red Night’s eyes, which had not even comprehended what she had been struck by or who had cut her down, had long since lost their light, remaining wide open.
Gulp—
The Blood Demon swallowed hard and slowly turned his head.
His grip tightened on the sword he held.
Yet strangely, it began to tremble.
My eyes, trembling like an earthquake, managed to shift sideways, and through the torrential rain and darkness, I could make out the figure of a man.
He possessed an almost spectral quality, as though he had melted into the shadows themselves.
“Ha ha— what’s this? I thought you’d just stand there guarding, but instead the prize comes rolling in on its own.”
“…Who are you?”
“Me? Cheon Yul.”
“…Cheon Yul?”
A name oddly familiar, yet strangely distant.
Perhaps from lingering too long in the Peach Blossom Village, the memory refused to surface. I simply furrowed my brow, my gaze fixed upon Cheon Yul’s form.
Then I caught sight of the blade he wielded, and my eyes widened.
That symbol of Sa Do-cheon’s Heavenly Lord, Cheon Gong-hak.
“…Could it be you?!”
The realization struck me like a thunderbolt, and I cried out.
In that instant, Cheon Yul’s presence vanished once more into the darkness.
As I rolled my eyes to pursue him into the shadows—
Something gleamed.
Cutting through the rain alongside the wind, the blade descended without hesitation, carving a beautiful arc of steel before cleaving the Blood Demon in two.
Squelch—!
From head to groin.
Split with pristine precision, spilling forth all manner of viscera.
Cheon Yul, his presence now revealed, wore a satisfied smile, but then his eyes widened in alarm as he cried out.
“Oh no, the young ladies’ eyes will be tainted! How am I supposed to clean this up?”
He fretted anxiously, contemplating how to dispose of the grotesquely sprawled corpse.
