Absolute Sword Sense - Chapter 339

[Episode 108: Demon Ship (3)]

-Srrrrr!

A being walked across the water that was up to their waist in a hollow.

It was a strange being whose lower body had the body of a snake, but whose upper body was in the shape of a human.

A being with four yellow eye lights approached the man whose entire body was covered in smooth snake-like scales and spoke.

“Master. “Thanks to your consideration, I was born again.”

“It looks better than a dirty human body.”

“It is thanks to Master’s foresight. “I think I made a good decision to transfer my soul in advance and leave only a hundred souls in my body.”

The half-human being bowed its head and expressed gratitude.

However, the man he called teacher was still with his back turned, just staring at the water hole where Jin Woon-hwi and the Inmyeonjaansa that had swallowed him had fallen into.

Water was filling up through the hole faster and faster.

“Is he really alive?”

It made no sense for him to survive with such injuries.

Moreover, didn’t his teacher use his own hands?

When asked about the existence of such a half-human being, the man said,

“This person’s imperfect immortality is a phenomenon that occurred due to the strength of gold among the five elements. “It is impossible to survive with a body that is infinitely vulnerable to water.”

“But how?”

“What a shame.”

“yes?”

“I can’t believe I killed someone like this who was born with characteristics similar to mine hundreds of years ago.”

That was the reason the man was looking there.

I watched with snake eyes as countless descendants were born.

People with all kinds of talents were born, from those who harbor the same anger as themselves and want to wash away the world with blood, to those who want to become bachelors.

However, this is the first person to reveal his qualities as a dragon.

‘Pursuer.’

If it hadn’t been in that guy’s hands, it could have been his.

That was just sad.

However, as if he soon shook off his regrets, he raised his head and spoke to the half-human being.

“It’s time.

“Ahhh!

“Where is the center now?”

“Not far away, there is a martial arts league made up of hypocrites who talk about so-called justice.”

“Mulim Federation?”

From Jiangsu Province, southwestern Anhui Province to Hubei Province.

The Murim Federation is located in Wuhan, a sacred place for political factions.

The man raised his mouth and said.

“It is time to let those dirty and greedy humans know that the life they live is wrong.”

“I was just waiting for those words.”

-Oooooh!

The man’s body rose into the air.

As he emerged, the alien monsters that filled the surroundings focused on him.

The man shouted loudly at them.

“This demon ship gives a command to the beings outside of the human world. Wash the world with blood. Dry the human seed and purify the world. In this way, accumulate the magic karma!”

-Kwaaaaaah!

-Ooooooooo!

The alien monsters roared at the command of the being that called itself a demon ship.

Their ferocious and evil roar was a sign of blood directed at the world.

* * *

I looked at my teacher in bewilderment.

A world bright with brilliant light.

Isn’t this the afterlife that came to me after I died?

‘Master, where is this place?’

-Your imagination is deceiving.

image?

Ah, is that why Master looked like that?

‘How can you, Master…’

– I was always by his side.

‘What does it mean to be by your side…Ah!’

When I saw the Sodam sword in Master’s hand, tears suddenly poured down my face.

‘Namcheon……’

It was because the Namcheon Iron Sword came to mind.

Just like Sodamgeom, he is a guy who went through hardships and hardships with me.

I could never have imagined that the person who was like a teacher and advisor to me would be crushed to death like this.

I couldn’t put that sadness into words.

I never thought I would miss the way he talked so seriously about the previous owner.

-I can feel your sadness.

‘The Namcheon Iron Sword is broken.’

-Everything in creation is bound to decay. So, one way or another, separation is coming.

‘…….but not like this!’

At least I didn’t want to break up with him like this.

As the sword I used with the great swordsman Namcheon Swordsman, and as a colleague and friend who had been with me for a long time, I could not forgive him for his death.

– Wow!

My teeth are grinding.

To the being who made Namcheoncheolgeom like that.

I looked at Master and asked.

‘Who the hell is this guy? ‘Why didn’t you ever tell me about him while you were at Dohwaseon?’

-Ha…

Master sighed at my words mixed with anger.

Then he waved his hand lightly.

Then, in a world filled with brilliant light, something was drawn in the air, like an inky brush drawing a picture.

The figure resembled that of a bastard.

The only other thing was that his eyes were overflowing with energy.

-He was once called Baekmuja and was taken over by Jeongyang Jinin before me.

Jeongyang Jinin, the head of the Eight Immortals.

He was called the teacher of all Taoists.

Now that I think about it, he called himself a Gyoryong who wanted to become a human, and then he called himself Baekmuja, the founder of the Jungwon sword sect.

I was just thinking about it, but perhaps because it was just a mental image, Master responded right away.

-Before he was a teacher, he was also a martial artist who was better than anyone else.

‘Why does such a being exist…’

– That’s why Jeongyang Jinin collected it. In order for that strength to be used correctly and not go astray.

Correctly…

In my view, that being was properly corrupted.

It wasn’t called the Demon Ship for nothing.

-Even though he ended up going down the wrong path, he was originally a person with a more sense of justice and a clearer soul than anyone else.

‘Would such a being want to wash the world with blood?’

-…….

Master didn’t say anything to what I said.

I just waved my hand and saw a house on fire and people dying.

There, I saw him hugging someone and crying.

‘What is this?’

-Hwaryong Jinin established his own family as a human being in the secular world before registering as a Taoist. That is the checkpoint he set up.

‘……What if that place is there?’

-The awl has no choice but to stick out of the sack. As he gained fame as a military man, he developed hostile relationships with many people.

‘Did they make it like that?’

-okay.

Is that why you started to resent humans?

However, the scope of the resentment has grown to the point where it is absurd.

Isn’t it okay to take revenge only on those who ruined one’s family?

Master answered my question.

-Before registering as a Taoist, Jinin Jeongyang receives an oath from Samcheong.

‘What if it’s an oath?’

-I am saying that I will abandon everything about the secular world.

‘……..’

– This may be the case in Buddhism, but practitioners who wish to attain enlightenment must learn to cut ties with the world and control the five passions and seven passions.

All of my relatives are dying before my eyes, and I have to endure it?

I think I know why he started to go astray.

-Jeongyang Jinin tried to control his anger. There was one thing we overlooked.

‘What is that?’

That means he is an outsider.

As Master waved his hand, he saw a change in the howling creature.

His hair was turning red like blood, and his eyes were gradually turning white.

It had creepy snake eyes.

-Even though he has become infinitely closer to a human by honing his skills, his nature is a dragon and a dragon that originated from a snake in the first place.

‘Could you not bear it?’

-I was unable to overcome my own latent demonic nature.

‘So what happened?’

When Master waved his hand again, the creature’s body was seen to swell.

Then, it soon became something you would see in tales or myths.

It was a being called a dragon.

Deer-like horns, black scales, and white snake-like eyes.

And the appearance of the feathers on his back burning red.

It was not a sacred spiritual creature, but a corrupted monster, the Dragon Dragon itself.

-His anger drove many innocent people to death.

‘ah!’

At that moment, an anecdote about Master came to mind.

This is the legendary anecdote about defeating an evil dragon using the Daedocheondungeon method, which is said to defeat demons.

‘If so, did you defeat it with your master’s hand?’

-I faced him, but couldn’t defeat him. Even if he became corrupt and chose to become a demon, he was both a death sentence and a teacher to Nobu.

‘teacher?’

-……Nobu’s Cheondun Sword Technique originated from Hwaryong Jinin.

‘yes?’

I couldn’t hide my surprise at those words.

Are you saying that the Cheondun Sword Technique was not created by the teacher?

Master spoke as if to resolve these doubts.

-It was Hwaryong Jinin who made Nobu the Buddhist sphere Cheondun with his own horn. And it had a great influence on perfecting the Daedocheondun Sword Technique.

‘So the Cheondun Sword Technique doesn’t work on him?’

-He is said to be corrupted, but he is a dragon. There is no way his own power could easily work against a spirit being that wields the harmony of thunder and lightning and breathes fire.

Now the question is resolved.

This is the secret that the immensely powerful Daedo Cheondun Sword Technique did not work.

No matter how wet and mortally wounded he was, it was the Daedo Cheondun Sword Technique’s Noebyeokcheondun that had the power to collapse even a mountain.

But he was able to withstand it.

‘Then how did you defeat him?’

-When any power reaches its extreme, it transcends even its opposites.

‘What is that?’

-Even if light covers darkness, the light is also covered by darkness.

‘Ah…’

-Even if you suppressed him with extreme taunts, how could you completely harm him, the source of your strength? In the end, Jinin Jeongyang sealed him with the Buddhist phrase Yeongbopilbeop.

Who would have thought that there was an inside story like this in the anecdote that has passed down as a legend?

But that wasn’t the important thing.

The guy was released from the seal and even regained his original strength with the elixir of immortality that Seobok had hidden.

No, maybe it has become even stronger.

‘……In the end, he was resurrected.’

-okay. I hoped that Nobu’s reading of Cheongi was wrong.

‘Did you foresee this situation?’

-How can heavenly knowledge accurately know everything? I came to guess that the coming bloody catastrophe might have something to do with this.

With those words, Master held out the sword to me.

Now that I think about it, I remembered that when I was losing my mind, the crying Sodamgeom was surrounded by blue light.

‘What about Sodam?’

-Lastly, I thought a lot about where to place the vial containing Nobu’s poison. Then, I read from heaven that you will face that fear head-on.

‘That means…’

-Yes. Sodamgeom, who has been by your side from the beginning, had Nobu’s bag.

‘!!!’

Those words give me goosebumps.

Isn’t there a final inspection record nearby from the beginning?

I didn’t even know that until now.

It seems that even Sodamgeom didn’t even know that such a secret was hidden from him.

-If you hadn’t bumped into him, who could be said to be the origin of Heaven’s Dungeon, you would never have met Nobu again in your mind like this.

‘Ha…’

All of this was Master’s arrangement.

I am so surprised that I am speechless.

But suddenly I remembered the situation I was in now.

Even though it was just a mental image, I was now seriously injured and sinking to the bottom of Taeho Lake.

Can I survive like this?

-Whether you can survive or not is entirely up to you from now on.

‘What do you mean it’s up to me?’

-Ugh!

As I was puzzled, an infinitely shining white sword appeared in the Master’s hand.

It was no ordinary sword.

The Master spoke in a meaningful voice as he raised the sword that gave off a brilliant light.

-I will pass on to you Nobu’s last thoughts.

* * *

It happened in just three days.

In southern Jiangsu Province, countless Wulin sects and dozens of people from large and small villages met miserable deaths in the dark of night.

It was the worst situation, with roughly 40,000 people dead.

And the mysterious massacre continued to progress and was rapidly heading southwest.

Because of this, the news quickly reached the headquarters of the Murim Federation.
