Chapter 178
Chapter 178. The Black Flame Dragon Who Devours a Sea of Blood (8)
“Fucking hell…… That thing is an Iron Corpse Puppet?”
Nam Hwa-seong asked with a stunned face.
I spoke with a dumbfounded feeling.
“can't you tell just by looking?”
W̃ е̂ b̂ ñ о v eľ Е n ũm̊а.
Its joints moved awkwardly, and its skin was as hard as stone.
Among the Demonic Path’s Jiangshi that had thrown the world into chaos, it was the lowest grade, but even this much would bring nightmares to martial artists once it appeared in the world.

It was impossible not to know.
In the past Great Righteous-Demonic War, the thing that killed the most martial artists was precisely that Iron Corpse Puppet.
Nam Hwa-seong shouted even while his hands trembled.
“You are the strange one for recognizing what that is right away! I-I have never seen one in my life!”
E n u̇m̌ а̄ . і́d
“Anyway, you made an effort.”
His actions deserved praise.
He had handled things beyond what I had asked of him.
He must have wanted those Demon-Subduing Talismans quite badly.

“You did well. As promised, I will give you five Demon-Subduing Talismans.”
“Damn it……! I do not need them!”
Ēńû m̆ а
What an insincere bastard.
He was always that shifty because he went around with a bastard like Cheol Sun-jik.
I pulled the taut Flying Dragon Claw even tighter.
The Iron Corpse Puppet struggled to break free, then looked at me and rushed madly toward me.
I immediately leapt over it, wound the Flying Dragon Claw, and at the same time lifted the Iron Corpse Puppet’s body into the air.
CRACK. BOOM!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Iron Corpse Puppet, which had been driven headfirst into the ground, struggled wildly.
CRUMBLE, CRUMBLE.
It easily dug through the surrounding soil and gravel as if they were mud, then crawled out and began charging at me with that utterly ridiculous gait.
BOING. BOING. BOING. BOING.
Just as Iron Corpse Puppets had been a nightmare to lower-level warriors in my previous life, to me as well, the existence of an Iron Corpse Puppet was a nightmare itself.
An Iron Corpse Puppet, which had lost reason and could not feel pain, moved to kill its enemies without fear, whether an arrow was lodged in its eye or Sword Qi split its head.
Еn̄ u mа́ .i d̀
And that indifference became a nightmare for those facing it.
“But that is all just a story from my previous life now!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
I shook off my thoughts and stepped with the Taeul Eighty-Thousand Divine Steps, charging toward the Iron Corpse Puppet.
TAP TAP TAP TAP.
Facing footwork that left illusions in all directions in an instant, the Iron Corpse Puppet helplessly swung its sharp nails at empty air.
After taking its back, I drew up a great deal of inner arts and kicked the back of its head with all my strength.
W е̇ b n̄ ò.ṽ el Ёn̆u_m̂а̊
THUD!
THUD.
A sound like hard stones colliding rang out, and both arms of the Iron Corpse Puppet were driven deep into the ground.
“There is an idiot over there trying to beat an Iron Corpse Puppet to death.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Nam Hwa-seong, who had coughed up a whole handful of blood, sneered as if seeking revenge, but I did not care.
A small sparrow could never understand the Great Roc’s deep intentions in the first place.
Ӗn ùm̆ а́. і d̂
Twitch, twitch.
When the Iron Corpse Puppet tried to move its body to pull its two arms out from deep in the ground.
I stepped on its back, placed the Black Dragon Sword against it, and took a stance as if chopping wood.
At that moment, the voice of the small sparrow, who was all mouth, rang out.
“Idiot! It is known that an Iron Corpse Puppet’s skin cannot be cut even with Sword Qi!”
For a bastard who had been trembling and saying he was going to die until just a moment ago, he sure shouted well.

I glared at Nam Hwa-seong and said,
“You are fine now, right? Come help.”
“……Cough. M-My internal injuries…….”
Why were his internal injuries flaring up when he had done nothing?
As Nam Hwa-seong said, an Iron Corpse Puppet’s skin was harder than most iron.
To cut that skin, one needed a weapon with at least the hardness of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron.
Е ñ ù m а̌ .i̊ d̀
“And as it happens, the Black Dragon Sword I received as a gift was made of Diamond Indestructible Iron.”
I wrapped the Black Dragon Sword in Sword Force.

Nam Hwa-seong’s eyes widened as he had been coughing.
“A piece of trash like you can use Sword Force?”
Nam Hwa-seong, you bastard, you are definitely not hurting anymore, are you?
I focused on the Iron Corpse Puppet again and struck down with the sword at full power.
E ṅ u m а̄
DOOONG.
An impact like striking a giant temple bell rang painfully through my hand.
Even though I had drawn up plenty of inner arts to protect my hand, the impact traveled through my bones.
Perhaps this effort had not been in vain, because the Iron Corpse Puppet, which felt fear of death for the first time, began struggling violently.

PAPAPAPAK!
It swung its arms buried in the ground wildly and exploded the mounds of earth in a space nearly ten feet around it.
E ñ ũ_m̈а
BOOM!
The skin of the ground overturned, and clods of earth buried deep underground flew everywhere.
When I launched myself away from the aftermath of the explosion and landed beside Nam Hwa-seong, he asked with a worried face,
“Is that thing, you know, a little angry?”
“Would it not be angry after having one section of its neck cut off?”
“O-One section was cut off……?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Instead of answering Nam Hwa-seong’s words, I stepped with the Unrivaled under Heaven Movement Art, quickly passed the bastard while avoiding the Iron Corpse Puppet’s nails, and bound its neck again with the Flying Dragon Claw.
When I drew up and infused inner arts into the taut Heavenly Silkworm Thread, the Heavenly Silkworm Thread began to contract rapidly.
Soon, the Iron Corpse Puppet’s body, which had been struggling to protect its severed nape, shot out even faster than I did, passed beside me, and slammed into the cliff wall.
THUD.
I immediately infused qi into the Black Dragon Sword and fired Sword Qi wildly.
This was exactly why I had forced down so much Spiritual Medicine.
Ẃе́ bn̄ö v̈ ēľ Ѐň.u ṁ а̇
BOOM BOOM. BOOM BOOM BOOM. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
With explosive sounds so tremendous they could not be fully described as exhilarating, rocks and clods of earth flew everywhere.

Seeing the bastard I had hated so much in my previous life become powerless like a moving target made a refreshing feeling pour through me instead, even as the inner arts in my Dantian drained rapidly.
CRASH.
The Iron Corpse Puppet rose from between the collapsed piles of stone, clattering like a broken puppet.
Perhaps the wound had widened further in the meantime, because its neck had separated by another inch.
Е nŭ m a
At that moment.
“O-Over there…….”
Nam Hwa-seong pointed in horror.
I shook my head and mocked him.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Do you still not know? An Iron Corpse Puppet……”
“No! I am saying those bastards over there are running at us!”
W̆ е bn оv̆e l Еṅ ù ṁа́
“…….”
Perhaps worried that the Iron Corpse Puppet might be destroyed, the Blood Cult warriors were running toward us as if their lives depended on it.
“Tch. ……I knew that.”
“Do not lie, damn it! You were not paying attention at all!”
The little sparrow had quick eyes, at least.
I ignored Nam Hwa-seong’s gaze and looked back.

“Academy Student Il-gak.”
Il-gak, who had been blankly watching this side, snapped back to his senses.
I looked deep into his eyes.
“Can I entrust them to you?”
Il-gak looked once in the direction I pointed, then nodded.
“……Please entrust them to me, Benefactor.”
Е n u m а̇
“I told you I am not a benefactor.”
Was he rebelling because I called him an Academy student instead of a monk?

Whether I expressed my dissatisfaction or not, Il-gak quickly rose and began beating down the Blood Cult warriors.
Even though he had exhausted his Vajra Force, Shaolin was still Shaolin.
He would buy enough time for me to deal with the Iron Corpse Puppet.
‘Then my opponent is…….’
E ǹ ůmá. ї d
Grrrrr.
The Iron Corpse Puppet growled like a wounded beast, as if its previous indifference had gone somewhere.
Right, after taking this much damage, you must be frantic to kill me too.
The Iron Corpse Puppet no longer used its unique ridiculous little hopping steps, but moved as if shooting like an arrow and closed the distance at once.

BOOM!
I unfolded the Lotus method toward the bastard flying in like an arrow and changed its direction.
Еñůṁ а̀
The Iron Corpse Puppet passed by me and charged into the hard rock zone.
BOOM BOOM BOOM.
After crushing the rocks like tofu, the bastard forced its way out through the collapsing stones and crouched again.
It seemed only one clear purpose remained to it now: to kill me.
“Yes, I remember clearly how many people your persistence drove to death.”
I remembered the Sojeong Squad members who had fallen because of that bastard, and those who had to sacrifice their comrades.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
No matter how much we struck, no matter how much we swung our swords, we cursed and cursed you again because you would not die.
Naturally, we chose who would be sacrificed before you.
Naturally, we fled before you.
You were the Demonic Cult’s most vicious symbol.
“Your indifference makes me even angrier.”
A Demonic Beast made from humans for the purpose of killing humans.
Еǹů m̄ а̊. ïd́
That vicious sense of purpose prevented even a handful of pity from arising.
“Come!”

BOOM!
The Iron Corpse Puppet kicked off the ground and shot forward like an arrow.
At the same time, I shot myself toward it.
KYAAAAH!
Ẁ_еbn̆ ov̀ е̊l Е n u m̆ а̄
I thrust the Black Dragon Sword toward the bastard as it bared teeth dripping with black blood.
CLANG!
The Black Dragon Sword and its fangs collided, producing a metallic sound.
A monster that endured the Black Dragon Sword I had thrust with nothing but the strength of its jaws.

Even in the midst of that, the bastard tried to crush me with its black nails.
SLASH. SLASH!
Ě ňum̆ǎ .і̊d́
The black martial arts uniform tore as its nails dug in, but I did not dodge.
The Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe, the secret treasure of the Wang Estate beneath the black martial arts uniform, would protect me from the Jiangshi’s nails.
“If you had reason, you would have tried to pull out this sword first.”
Internal power gathered at the sword tip of the Black Dragon Sword and formed Sword Qi.
The Black Dragon Sword, carrying golden Sword Qi, did not stop there and began creating Sword Force.
GRRRRKK.

The Iron Corpse Puppet, which sensed that something was strange, began trembling its head.
“Too late.”
I continued pushing in internal power and increased the size of the Sword Force even further.
SQUELCH!
The Sword Force pierced through the bastard’s palate and through the back of its head, radiating bright light.
“KRAAAAAAAGH!”
Ẇ е b̊ n̊.о́v е̂ l Еnu m̊â
Just as that bastard had done in my previous life, I pushed it back and pushed it back again.
Without retreating even an inch, I pressed the bastard forward.

The Iron Corpse Puppet flailed its hands and continued being pushed backward until, finally, it struck a rock.
GRRRRKK.
For some reason, the Iron Corpse Puppet’s eyes seemed to be shaking violently.
“Do you feel the fear of death too?”
Ŵ е̃b̈ ń о́v e l E.ǹu m̆ǎ
KYAAAAAAH!
The Iron Corpse Puppet growled like a beast again.
“Good. I am glad!”
I raised the Taeul True Scripture at full power and split the Iron Corpse Puppet in half.

SPLIIIIIT…….
A black line was drawn from its head to its crotch, yet the bastard still tried to swing its nails.
Ẇе b̊ n о̇ v̀e l̊ Е nŭḿa
KRAAAH…….
Then black blood poured out like a waterfall, and it split into two pieces.
THUD.
The bastard collapsed helplessly to the ground.
The Iron Corpse Puppet, cut in half, no longer moved.
As I looked at the horrific corpse of the Iron Corpse Puppet before my eyes, I somehow thought of the Sojeong Squad bastards.

“……Heh. Seeing a horrific Demonic Beast must have made me think of you horrific bastards.”
A needless longing bloomed in my heart.
Murong Jae-hwa, who had been helping Il-gak deal with the blood-robed men approaching Jin So-un, hurriedly turned his head at Jin So-un’s shout.
“UAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”
Jin So-un, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Iron Corpse Puppet, did not even avoid the Iron Corpse Puppet’s nails and focused obsessively only on dealing with it.
‘If he gets poisoned by Corpse Poison like that…….’
Е n̊úm а
He wanted to run over and help at once, but to Jin So-un right now, he was nothing but baggage, not help.
It was the same even now.

He was imitating the Thunderbolt Arrow with the arrows Jin So-un had sent him, but it was not enough to reverse the situation.
If he had completed the real Thunderbolt Arrow, would those blood-robed men have even dared approach again?
Murong Jae-hwa shook off the thoughts clouding his head and drew the bowstring again.
TWANG. WHIZZ-
Е n̊ u̇.m a. і̆ d̄
BOOM.
The arrow exploded and inflicted massive damage on the blood-robed men.
And after that, Il-gak stirred up the blood-robed men and denied them approach.
However, even when he tried to shake off his thoughts, they were not easily shaken away.

‘If only I had completed the Thunderbolt Arrow…… If only I had tried a little harder…….’
Brother would not have had to fight so desperately like that.
Ě nü m а.í d
No, he would not have had to run into this deathtrap to save him.
Thinking that made his chest even heavier.
‘What exactly…… am I doing?’
The blood-robed men no longer approached.
They hesitated and retreated, and they no longer approached Il-gak either.
‘Why?’

When he turned his head along the direction of the blood-robed men’s gazes, Jin So-un stood there alone, holding golden Sword Force.
And when he followed Jin So-un’s gaze and looked down, there was the Iron Corpse Puppet, cut in half and no longer moving.
‘Heavens…….’
In the end, Brother had even caught the Iron Corpse Puppet alone.
“Young Master Jae-hwa! They are retreating!”
Even at Eun Seol-ran’s delighted voice, Murong Jae-hwa could not bring himself to be happy.

Somehow, he felt sorry toward Jin So-un, because in the end, he had failed to meet Jin So-un’s expectations.
“Brother Jin!”

When the blood-robed men began retreating in earnest, Eun Seol-ran, who had been hiding, ran over and hugged Jin So-un.
After finishing a brief reunion with Eun Seol-ran, Jin So-un also spoke with Il-gak and Nam Hwa-seong.
“…….”
Murong Jae-hwa took a step, then stopped in place again.

In the end, he could not approach him.
At that moment.
“Murong Jae-hwa!”
Jin So-un called Murong Jae-hwa.

“B-Brother……!”
Seeing Jin So-un stride toward him angrily, Murong Jae-hwa took a step back.

However, he could not avoid Jin So-un’s hand suddenly reaching toward his own.
“Don't tell me you kept shooting the bow while freezing a hand that was torn apart? Heavens!”
Jin So-un’s gaze was focused only on Murong Jae-hwa’s right fingers.
After examining the wounds, Jin So-un clicked his tongue.
“Tch. Well, this must have been your first time shooting an iron bow, so it would take quite a while to adjust.”
Then he tore his own martial arts uniform with a rip, applied Golden Wound Medicine, and wrapped the wound.

“Still, you somehow endured with the arrows I sent.”
“……Pardon?”
“You do not know…… how many people you saved.”
Even though he had only played a small role with incomplete archery, Jin So-un even praised him for that.
Murong Jae-hwa could not raise his head.
Jin So-un gently stroked Murong Jae-hwa’s head.

“You truly worked hard.”
“…….”

His hands stung, and his body hurt as if it would break, but somehow, he felt as though strength had filled him.
“Let us go back.”
That one sentence from Jin So-un made Murong Jae-hwa feel all right.
