“Did you come as the head of the Inspection Bureau?”
Is that important?
“The person who visited the temple yesterday said that he came out of the Inspection Hall on his own.”
“…….”
“To think that someone who isn’t even affiliated with the Inspection Bureau would dare to impersonate one… Isn’t this a grave crime?”
As I continued speaking amidst the tense atmosphere, Ak Byeong-bi’s face contorted even more.
That is not important.
He raised his head while lowering his eyes and growled.
“The most important fact right now is that I, myself, have come to find you.”
As he said, being noticed by the Inspectorate is no different from being in a dangerous situation.
Because the Inspection Bureau has the authority to investigate opponents and uncover additional crimes.
His nickname within the Murim Alliance is ‘Grim Reaper’.
It is a nickname given because those who are dragged to the Inspection Office never return in good health.
but.
“So, I ask. Did you come here as the head of the Inspection Hall?”
Or I am asking if you are using the authority of the Inspection Pavilion for personal gain, just as Oh Woon-kyung of the Ak family did.
“How dare you…!”
Even if it is an inspection office, it is impossible to arrest just anyone and frame them for a crime without proper justification.
And I have absolutely no intention of becoming ‘just anyone’.
“Even though the Inspection Bureau has been dispatched, not a single member of the Execution Bureau is to be seen. Why is that?”
In the end, it can only be seen as you coming to pressure the other party by using your position in the Inspection Bureau.
He didn’t even take out the common order or identification badge.
Eventually, he was here at the Inspection Pavilion’s three
I came not as the clan head, but as Akjupyeong’s uncle.
A look of arrogance flickers across his face.
You’re mistaken about something.
“I am the head of the Three Halls of the Inspection Bureau. It is fine to issue the order later.”
“……
Is that so?
I heard that if the order isn’t issued, the Inspection Bureau sometimes kidnaps the target first and extracts a confession through torture.
Was that rumor true?
“As expected, he wouldn’t have just come empty-handed.”
I found out everything, including the fact that he sent Oh Woon-kyung yesterday while impersonating the Inspector General.
Akbyeongbi certainly couldn’t let this slide.
It seems like their intention is to take me away first and then clean up the mess.
What should I do about this?
I am no longer a fool who just takes it easy like I used to.
Taat
– Stepped on the Taeeul Palman Shinbo to create four illusions and confused Akbyeongbi’s vision.
However, for some reason, Akbyeongbi stood stiffly and did not move.
Just as I was about to unleash the Heavenly Solitary Body Technique and rush toward the Headmaster’s office… … .
Akbyeongbi slams the spear shaft into the ground with a thud.
Crackle.
The floor of the training hall, made of hard marble, crumbles like dry leaves.
The vibration originating from the Evil Spirit Monument is transmitted as a strange wave, causing the marble I am about to step on to bounce up with a thud.
You mean Bloodlust would even resort to such tactics?
As he untangles his feet, which had lost their footing, and attempts to leap again, Ak Byeong-bi indifferently murmurs.
Where are you trying to go?
At the same time as he spoke, rustling sounds were heard from the training ground area, and signs of human presence were felt.
One by one… the warriors reveal themselves.
Before I knew it, the evil spirits surrounded me.
The only place you can go is the Inspection Hall.
The speed of my footsteps, which had been picking up speed, gradually slowed down again. ‘To think they prepared this thoroughly…’ Not all of the warriors of the Ak clan may be masters, but if Ak Byeong-bi and I both attack at the same time, there is no way we can stand a chance.
While I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to get out of here.
Akbyeongbi turned around and spoke.
However, I will give you the opportunity to choose.
His spear points at the warriors of the Akga clan.
“Escape Akga’s barrier, or break free from me. Choose one.”
Akbyeongbi, who presents a ridiculous option.
There is nothing I want to choose.
“Is that so? Losers always run away from choices.”
I do not inherently put myself in disadvantageous situations.
“That’s a shame. But things in this world don’t always go the way you want them to.”
While Ak Byeong-bi was speaking, my gaze slithered toward the roof of the pavilion. ‘Yelu Ke.’ Yelu Ke, who had attempted a surprise attack on the back of my head once again today, was stealthily creeping over the roof.
I immediately sent a telepathic message to him.
“Ya Yuk-geuk! Cause a disturbance right now to draw attention. Then I will head straight to the Dean’s office…”
But before I could even finish speaking, Yalu Ge moved. ‘That bastard!’ Sensing the strange atmosphere, Yalu Ge stepped back, making as little movement as possible.
I was seething with a sense of betrayal.
“Yelü Ke! Go to the Dean’s office immediately and tell them the Inspection Bureau has arrived here!!”
As my voice rang out loudly, the guy was startled and glared at me as if he wanted to kill me.
That cowardly bastard.
So what if you glare at me? What are you going to do about it?
One of the warriors of the Ak clan approached Yelu Ke from behind, subdued him, and threw him in front of Ak Byeong-bi.
Yalu Ke, who was captured and brought here, glares at me even in this situation.
Jin So-un! You filthy and cunning… … .”
“You bastard! This is all your fault!”
Are you saying it’s because of me?
“Right! Because all the humans here came from the Evil Family.”
With his blood clot in his hand, Yalu Ke rolled only his eyes and glared at Ak Byeong-bi as if to kill him.
“It’s the Akga…! Jin So-un, release this. I’ll kill them all….”
“Shut up and stay out of the way.”
I kicked him and pushed him into the corner of the training ground.
Ak Byeong-bi looked at Ye Yuk-geuk, who was shouting at the top of his lungs, and said
Have you finished?
It can no longer be avoided.
Because even Yelu Ke, who was the last bastion, ended up in that state.
I told you, he’s no help at all.
I adjusted my grip on the Black Dragon Sword.
If you can’t escape, just break through.
Have you given up now?
I glared at the evil spirit.
You will pay the price for what you did today.
“I heard that Jupyeong was left with a disability…….”
His pansori is filled with spirit.
Not the clumsily fluttering energy seen the day before, but spear energy of a perfect shape, as if neatly sculpted.
You will be the first to pay a heavy price.
It is foolish to measure martial prowess against bloodline in the first place.
I also raised my internal energy and unleashed the Manhae Cheonji Sword Technique.
“Go ahead and try if you can.”
Six Ten Thousand Swords.
A dark energy rises there.
An absurd amount of wagers have been drawn out, but now is not the time to think about the future.
I can’t be dragged to the inspection office right now.
“I understand why you had a conflict with Jupyeong. You are an ill-mannered fellow.”
Who are you to say that!
Six ten thousand swords began to move.
The myriad swords emitting sword energy begin to unleash the Twin Heaven Sword Technique once again.
In the sky above the small training ground, countless swords were now embroidered without a single gap, aiming at Akbyeongbi.
However, there is not a trace of danger on Akbyeongbi’s face.
“Come!”
“Chaat!”
Akbyeongbi preparing to swing his spear with great force.
I stepped on the Taeeulpalmansinbo and charged at him.
Whoosh──Whoosh──Whoosh── The Socheon Sword Technique charges forward, tearing the air to shreds, targeting his vital point.
The Great Heaven Sword Technique confuses his two eyes.
Ak Byeong-bi, having launched a spirited ceremonial guard, repeatedly retreated to avoid the swords.
Then, when his feet could no longer retreat.
“Blazing Spear!”
Absurdly, the name of a martial arts technique burst out of his mouth. ‘Crazy…’ Isn’t shouting out sword techniques or moves only valid when neighborhood kids are playing war games?
I wondered if he might be playing a trick, but during his pansori, the young courtesan glowed crimson and began to radiate heat. ‘You’re really going to perform just as you shouted?’ Whoosh.
The blazing spearman, accompanied by scorching heat, engulfs the Twin Heaven Sword Technique.
Pow pow pow!
Pressure burst out between the collision of the ki and pushed the body.
While holding on with the Thousand-Weight Strike technique, I used other ten thousand swords to his Five Directions
It poked into it.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa bang!
Ak Byeong-bi dodges the Ten Thousand Swords with unbelievably agile movements as they descend.
“Firelight Soaring Heaven Fist!”
Ak Byeong-bi reaches out his hand while shouting “Mugongmyeong” once again.
His right hand poured in, flashing brightly.
Papapapapapak!
After exchanging three moves in an instant, we were pushed apart by the energy wave.
Swish swish swish—I stood there, resisting the pushing force as much as I could, but I eventually had no choice but to step back seven steps… … ‘I was pushed back in internal energy?’ Unbelievably, he only stepped back three steps.
Ak Byeong-bi looked at the fists he had just exchanged punches with, then pierced through me with his usual sharp gaze.
“You wretch… To think a disciple of the Taeeul Sect possesses this level of internal energy. It is truly beyond suspicion.”
No matter how much the Seven Stars
Even so, I could not easily believe that he possessed internal energy beyond my level.
“Do you drink pure oil instead of water at the Akga? That place is extremely suspicious, too.”
“Alright. We can go to the basement of the Inspection Hall and discuss everything there.”
He once again grasped the spear with both hands and assumed a charging stance.
“Mukunseomjeonchang!”
The representative spear technique that made Akga a renowned family of spears.
They say the only people who have seen true martial arts are the northern nomadic tribes or the villains of the dark sect.
Huh, to think I get to see that.
puck.
He kicked so hard that the marble shattered and stones scattered in all directions.
Even though he was running at me in a straight line, I couldn’t easily think of dodging. ‘If I dodge, I die…’ The true terror of the Mukunseomjeonchang stems from the stratagem hidden within its simple attack.
The moment the target avoids a head-on confrontation, it pierces through the body with a second step, no matter where the opponent runs.
A martial art that utilizes the length of a spear longer than a sword.
I gave up on the idea of dodging, grabbed the Black Dragon Sword in my other hand, and charged at him.
“You fool!”
puck!
With the second step, the marble shatters and piles of earth scatter in all directions like a spray of water.
Akbyeongbi’s new form became completely one with the spear and charged forward as if to pierce through his body in an instant.
I raised the Black Dragon Sword, which I held in a reverse grip, and desperately blocked the spear.
Squeak squeak.
I attached the entire surface of the sword to my forearm to absorb the shock, but the residual impact alone felt like it would break my arm.
Then, grasping the spear shaft with the other hand, the lotus flower
Unfolded.
“Gasp!”
Perhaps not having anticipated the sudden number of grafts, he was unable to release the strength he had been running with and was pulled toward me along with Changdae.
I continued with the snow flower
He unleashed his technique and threw his massive body with all his might.
Boom!
The demon soldier’s monument that fell out of the training ground.
The moment he slammed into the wall, kicking up sand dust from the floor in all directions.
I wildly shot sword energy toward the sand dust.
Puff puff puff puff puff!
Twenty sword energies shot out and burst forth in a single breath.
The moment a few of the Ak family warriors who had formed a siege nearby flinched and moved toward Akbyeongbi.
I immediately unleashed the Heavenly Solitary Movement and broke through the encirclement.
“rash!”
However, a warrior of the evil family immediately blocks the way.
I scattered the Twin Heaven Sword Techniques and tried to shake him off in an instant and run away, but… ‘Already?’ At the tremendous wave of energy felt from behind, I desperately unfolded the Taeul Eight Thousand Divine Steps without even turning around.
With the sound of a thunderbolt exploding, the ground went deep into the hollow.
At the end of the pit stood a towering monument to a bandit who had struck with a spear.
“Why aren’t you calling out the martial arts this time? How cowardly.”
He wipes the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth.
“There are more than a few things I am curious about regarding you. How can a student at the academy be of this caliber?”
If that is the case, I could give you an answer without having to go to the Inspection Office.
I realized it for sure with this one move.
He is not a being with as much inner strength as I expected.
Up until now, I had merely been absorbing the shock of the energy waves into my external energy and letting it flow out.
In addition… … .
It was clear he was afraid the commotion would spread outside. ‘It would have been a golden opportunity for him.’ When I had turned my back to face the warrior of the Evil Family.
I was definitely letting my guard down.
I knew it but failed to prepare, and since it was an unexpected situation, I simply trusted the Heavenly Silk Robe and remained complacent…
Ak Byeong-bi let that golden opportunity slip away. ‘Because… if we fight here, the outside world might find out what is happening here!’ His calling out martial arts techniques and shouting out moves all this time must have been an extension of that concern.
To make them focus on themselves so they cannot turn their gaze outward.
So that’s how it was.
A smile forms on my lips.
I could see right through him.
“You acted all brave and steadfast. You were a cunning fox in a bear’s disguise.”
Ak Byeong-bi frowns deeply, as if he does not like the way I look.
What are you talking about?
“As expected, you don’t want this commotion to escalate outside, do you?”
That must have been the reason you couldn’t catch me even with your spear.
Ak Byeong-bi’s face hardens for the first time.
A desperate expression to hide embarrassment rather than suppressing anger.
Just because you realized that doesn’t change anything.
Do you really think so?
This is why I love fighting arrogant guys.
Because guys like that are complacent, they don’t investigate their opponents at all.
And when they let their guard down like that, if I hit them on the back of the head… … ‘It couldn’t be more thrilling.’ Kooooo.
The air shakes violently and the wind blows strongly.
The air currents gather roughly in my hand, as if the wind were being sucked into a cave.
Akbyeongbi grinds his teeth as he watches me focus on the flow of the air.
“What are you plotting, you bastard…!”
There is no way the bloodlust of the world could fail to evade the Light Heaven Divine Palm.
But it doesn’t matter.
Because if the Gwangcheon Divine Palm explodes at the Murim Academy, people will end up seeing this place whether they want to or not.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!
A thunderous explosion erupted in all directions.
It was a signal announcing that Akga and I were here.
