Chapter 186. Rewriting the Sichuan Blood Calamity (6)
I was screwed.
I had given him so many hints not to say it......
Was he dense, or did he simply not care about reading the room......?
‘But when did I ever swear to die on the same day and at the same hour?’
Ẇe bnove l̆ E n ǔmа
That was definitely not in my perfect memory.
In any case, it was not as though I had failed to anticipate that this kind of situation might arise in the first place.

However, as I headed to Sichuan, the only place I could ask for help in case of an emergency was this man.
In the worst case, I might have to fight the entire Blood Cult. I did not want to do the insane thing of holding out endlessly until the Murim Alliance arrived, as I had in my past life.
Since absurd rumors like me being a rising star of the Black Path or the Joint Successor of the Black Path were already going around anyway, what real damage would one more rumor about being sworn brothers with the Green Forest do?
Putting that aside, Bang Du-chil had become an outright monster in the short time I had not seen him.
Е n̆ ŭ m а̄ . i d̊
Was this not cheating, even with the Heavenly Dipper Limitless Body?
Thanks to the effects of the Nine-Spirit Divine Herb and the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand, I had also gathered a little less than Four Cycles of inner arts.
But what the hell had Bang Du-chil eaten in the meantime? He was showing an aura that did not fall behind mine in the slightest.
“Younger brother! It seems you have not been idle in your training either, wahahahaha!”

Every time he struck my shoulder with a thump, it felt as though my two feet were sinking deep into the ground.
But wait, he only trained?
Еn̄ um a .їd
And he got this strong......?
“Did you really only train?”
Bang Du-chil rolled his eyes with a guilty expression.
Of course. He must have eaten something.
Maybe he mistook Azure Stone Milk for alcohol and drank a whole jar, or mistook Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Ginseng for a drinking snack and stuffed himself with it......
“To be honest, I could not devote myself entirely to training because I was busy organizing the Green Forest strongholds of Zhejiang Province. Seeing how much you have improved, younger brother, I feel ashamed all over again.”

“......”
No, he did not even do that much?
Fuck this. I quit.
At that moment.
“You dog-like bastard!”
A curse that represented my state of mind burst out from among the Deputy Stronghold Masters.
W̃ ӗ b́ńо̂v̂ ӗ l Е_n u̇m̂ ă
When the warm atmosphere cooled in an instant, Bang Du-chil glared at the Deputy Stronghold Masters as though displeased.
“Which bastard was that? Which bastard interrupted us?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Strictly speaking, it was Bang Du-chil who had interrupted the Green Forest strongholds and us, but Bang Du-chil, who lived alone in this world as the sole honored one under heaven and earth, did not seem to think that way.
“We are the Deputy Stronghold Masters of Flower Garland Stronghold, Red Flower Stronghold, and Black Peak Stronghold!”
“And?”
“Urgh!”
Ѐn̊ ùm̊а . і̀d
Was this what they meant by someone who could not be reasoned with?
Honestly, if Bang Du-chil had shown that kind of speech and attitude toward me, it would probably have felt as though my Five Viscera and Six Bowels were being overturned.
It was the attitude of someone who had no idea what he had done wrong.
From the Deputy Stronghold Masters’ perspective, if Bang Du-chil had been an easy opponent, they would have split his head open with an axe in a single stroke while telling him to live with a little more thought. But there was no way they could not feel the overwhelming aura I felt from Bang Du-chil.

“Dear, it seems they do not like that we cut in.”
At Baek So-ryeong’s elegant voice, Bang Du-chil raised one eyebrow.
Ӗnů m̆а̂
“If that is the case, they should have said so. As expected, they are ignorant bandit bastards.”
The Deputy Stronghold Masters’ faces flushed bright red.
Their expressions looked as though their frustration was about to make them burst.
“If you do not want to die, get lost at once!”
Even at the Deputy Stronghold Master’s fierce threat, Bang Du-chil calmly asked me,
“Younger brother, why did you call me all the way here?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
It had become very different from my original purpose, but even so, the fact that he had come was no different from a golden lifeline descending before me.
For a bastard like me, who had nowhere in the world to rely on, even having an elder brother like this was something.
I nodded deeply and said,
“Please fight them in a Mountain King Contest.”
“Hm?”
One of Bang Du-chil’s eyebrows rose.
Е̂ n.um̄а̄.іď
He probably had not expected the words Mountain King Contest to come out of my mouth.
“What you did in Zhejiang Province was also through Mountain King Contests, correct? Please place Sichuan beneath your feet as well.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Sichuan Blood Calamity of my past life had been a hellscape involving the Blood Cult, the Murim Alliance, Qingcheng Sect, Emei Sect, and the Tang Clan, the overlords of Sichuan, along with the dozens of middle and small sects that followed them.
On top of that, even the Green Forest strongholds had interfered.
There was a reason an event grand enough to be called a history written in blood had occurred.
As long as the Green Forest strongholds stayed still at minimum, the overlords of Sichuan would not ignore the Murim Alliance and move on their own.
É ṅ ú m̃ӓ
“Heh heh. As expected, younger brother, you knew that. But I have only just taken Zhejiang Province. Must I really start from Sichuan?”
Even Bang Du-chil under heaven seemed to know that subjugating the Seventy-Two Green Forest Strongholds had to be done step by step, like taking territory.
“I will be honest with you. As you said, Elder Brother, it does sound absurd.”
But I knew Bang Du-chil better than Bang Du-chil himself did.

The “treasure” of a word that could move him however I wished, as though he had been caught in Witchcraft.
“But would the ‘king’ of the Green Forest care about such a thing?”
W̃ еb̄ n̊ о̊v̀ е l E ṅ ú.m̂а
“Hm?”
As expected, he took the bait.
I gently prodded his competitive spirit.
“Since the ‘world’ belongs to the ‘king’ of the Green Forest anyway, what does it matter which place you put beneath your feet first?”
A brief silence flowed.
Then Bang Du-chil, who had raised both eyebrows, let out a small exclamation and began trembling.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even in my past life, Bang Du-chil had been unable to endure emotional excitement at a single grand word.
That had certainly been the case, but......
“Mwahahahahahahaha!!!”
His thunderous laughter pounded against my eardrums.
‘This reaction is too intense, though?’
It did not seem like he had even put inner arts into it, yet my insides felt like they were being shaken violently.
Е́ n̄um̀а̊ . і̂_d
On top of that, he must have been so pleased that there was no mercy in the hand striking my shoulder.
THUD, THUD, THUD.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
After barely enduring the pain that felt as though my bones would break and lowering my head, I found that my two feet had actually dug slightly into the ground.
Did this man not have any concept of moderation?
“That is right! A ‘king’ of the present age does not move while calculating this and that like petty cowards!!”
......His reaction was even more intense than in my past life.
Е̊ n̈ům̃а
Had his personality been a little softer in my past life because his qi center was broken?
Bang Du-chil withdrew the hand that had been pounding my shoulder like a hammer and snapped his head up.
“Listen!”
He looked at each of the Deputy Stronghold Masters and said,

“I, Bang Du-chil, Stronghold Master of Green Dragon Stronghold and hegemon of Zhejiang Province, hereby speak to the Green Forest Bandits......”
At the mention of Zhejiang Province and the name Bang Du-chil, the Deputy Stronghold Masters swallowed thickly.
W̄е̃ḃ ńо̌ vеl̆ Е̌ ň üḿa
“I challenge the Green Forest strongholds of Sichuan to a Mountain King Contest!”
“Green Dragon Stronghold, then......”
“The Reincarnation of Xiang Yu?”
“Why is that man here......?”
Even though they were stuck in the mountains and had cut ties with the secular world, they must have kept an interest in stories about themselves, because the Deputy Stronghold Masters quickly recognized Bang Du-chil.
The men who had looked ready to rush at him like mad until just now were rolling their eyes and moving their lips before anyone knew it.

Then, after whispering among themselves, perhaps having roughly settled the matter, the Deputy Stronghold Master of Flower Garland Stronghold opened his mouth.
“Bang Du-chil, Stronghold Master of Green Dragon Stronghold. We know that we must accept a Mountain King Contest, but now is not the time.”
“Do you intend to violate the first (1) rule of the Green Forest Alliance?”
“That is not it! We came here to punish an enemy who threatened the survival of our mountain strongholds. If you are a Stronghold Master as well, you should know this is not the time for a Mountain King Contest.”
Bang Du-chil’s eyebrow twitched faintly.
“Threatened your survival?”
W е b́ ňо̆ ṽ ѐl̀. Е n̄ úm̌ а
“Y-yes! The one called your younger brother inflicted irrecoverable damage on our three mountain strongholds. To accept the Mountain King Contest, we must resolve that matter first.”
I had expected to some extent that they would come out like this.

Naturally, if they gave that reason, the Mountain King Contest could not continue.
What I wanted was for Bang Du-chil to step forward recklessly like he usually did.
If it were him as usual, he would insist that none of that mattered, and that if he won the Mountain King Contest, it would no longer matter anyway.
However, contrary to my expectations.
Eñ u̇ m_a
“Is that so? If that is the case, there is no problem.”
Bang Du-chil pointed at me with his finger and spoke.
What is this? While I felt an unknown anxiety and failed to even try to cover Bang Du-chil’s mouth.
“My younger brother can participate in the Mountain King Contest as well.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Hm? Excuse me?
Mountain King Contests are between bandit bastards, though?
Е̌ n̈u m å.і̄d̂
It seemed not only I, but even the Deputy Stronghold Masters were dumbfounded.
“Stronghold Master Bang Du-chil! Are you saying you will violate the rules of the Green Forest Alliance! If so, you bastard, you are unqualified to belong to the Seventy-Two Green Forest Strongholds.”
Yes, yes.
It would be better to just force things by demanding a fight. Of course, that would be better.
If I contacted Murong Jae-hwa and had him hit them with a few Thunderbolt Arrows, and Bang Du-chil and I caused a little chaos, then in the end, would they not accept the Mountain King Contest with Bang Du-chil, even if forced to swallow their tears?
Me participating in the Mountain King Contest was absolutely absurd.

However, Bang Du-chil’s solemn voice continued.
“I am not forcing anything.”
“Th-then! Are you saying that man is also the owner of one of the Seventy-Two Green Forest Strongholds?”
“That is correct!”
Hm? What did he say?
Did I hear that wrong?
Е̇ núm̀_а
I was not yet at an age where my hearing should be having problems......
“My younger brother is Jin So-un, Stronghold Master of Black Dragon Stronghold!”

Hm?
Fuck, what is this crazy bastard saying......!
“So, to summarize......”
I desperately clung to my mind, which felt as though it would grow distant, and continued speaking.
E̊ ǹ u̇m å
“On the site where Twin Curtain Stronghold used to be, you created something called Green Dragon Stronghold and Black Dragon Stronghold......”
Even though I was saying a fact I had heard with my own ears, I prayed and prayed again that it was not true.
“......And I am the Stronghold Master there?”
“That is right!!!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Has this man lost his mind?
The way he spoke as though it was only natural was even more absurd.
Е ǹu m à. і̇d̂
“Just in case, I am asking this...... but does this thing called Black Dragon Stronghold actually exist?”
“That is right! It is a mountain stronghold of two hundred people, made up of my subordinates and newly recruited members.”
“......Then who is leading that Black Dragon Stronghold right now?”
“One of my subordinates holds the position of Deputy Stronghold Master.”
That just means you are controlling two mountain strongholds!
“Were you...... the Stronghold Master of the Black Dragon Stronghold shrouded in mist?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Gu Jeong-ryong, who had been listening beside me, looked at me with a shocked expression.
Fuck, I said it is not like that.
“I thought you were extraordinary.”
For some reason, Deputy Hall Master Gam Cheon-ak was looking at me with sparkling eyes.
“It is not like that.”
I desperately avoided their gazes and glared at Bang Du-chil.
Ё ǹǔ m̃ а̊ . і̃ d̊
Hurry up and say it is not true!
However, Bang Du-chil merely nodded.

In the end, Baek So-ryeong stepped forward and said,
Thank goodness there was at least one person in her right mind......
“I am sorry, Young Master Jin. My dear is far too stubborn, you see. I also left it alone half as a joke.”
A joke? A jooooke?
Ën̄ ů ṁ а̃
Where in the world is there such an absurd joke?
“But how fortunate is it? Thanks to that, you can participate in the Mountain King Contest. Huhu.”
“......”
I take back what I said about her being in her right mind.

Like husband, like wife indeed.
No, when I saw the madness hidden behind that beautiful smile, she was stranger than Bang Du-chil.

“Sister-in-law......”
I had no idea whether I should laugh or cry.
The Deputy Stronghold Masters said it was not a matter they could decide, and led us to the mountain stronghold.
We tried to leave the wounded behind with their protectors, but there was no way the Green Forest Bandits would allow that, and in the end, we had no choice but to head to Flower Garland Stronghold together with nearly a thousand bandits.
“““Waaaaaaaah!”””
The sound of cheers seemed to shake heaven and earth.

‘This is insane......’
I remembered the nightmare of when I visited Twin Curtain Stronghold.
Back then, only Golden-Faced Buddha Saber and One-Eyed Blood Axe had been seated there like kings, but now, a total of three Stronghold Masters and a massive crowd filling an entire peak were gathered in one place.
The Academy Students and Elders who had been dragged along to Flower Garland Stronghold by accident also wore dumbfounded expressions.
“You came to hold a Mountain King Contest?”
At the words of Jo Sang-bin, the Stronghold Master of Flower Garland Stronghold, the cheers that had been ringing across the entire peak cut off abruptly.
Én̈ ũ_m̄а
Bang Du-chil stepped forward without the slightest hesitation.
“I, Bang Du-chil, Stronghold Master of Green Dragon Stronghold, and Jin So-un, Stronghold Master of Black Dragon Stronghold, hereby challenge you to a Mountain King Contest.”

“......I know Jin So-un to be an Academy Student.”
Bang Du-chil nodded.
“He is only attending temporarily. Originally, he is the Stronghold Master of Black Dragon Stronghold!!”
This man, seriously......!
Еǹ ùm̈а̃
No! I am not! I said I am not!
Not only the Green Forest stronghold members, but even the Academy Students could not stop murmuring.
“Black Dragon Stronghold? Was he not just a rising star of the Black Path?”
“They said he was the Joint Successor of the Black Path, so perhaps he is connected to the Green Forest too?”

“......What exactly is he?”
I knew this would happen.
W е̄.b̀nō v̈ѐ l Еṅu m а
My already thorny career path had now been set on fire.
Ah...... I really should not have called him. Seriously.
Whether my expression was rotting or not, the conversation between the Stronghold Masters continued.
“Even so, we cannot allow the damage inflicted on the Green Forest strongholds before you even requested the Mountain King Contest.”
At Jo Sang-bin’s words, Bang Du-chil snorted.
“So?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“......What?”
Bang Du-chil dug his ear with his little finger and asked again,
“So what are you going to do about it?”
At that attitude, Jo Sang-bin ground his teeth.
“......We could kill all of you right here.”
At his words, not only the Academy Students but even the Elders became extremely tense.
Ѐn ům̃ ӑ . і̂ d̊
To be frank, when there was this great a difference in numbers, the level of martial arts became somewhat meaningless.
However, whether Bang Du-chil did not think about the fact that even if he combined the subordinates he had brought with our group, the number did not even reach three hundred, he spoke without hesitation.

“Do it if you can!”
“......”
Bang Du-chil walked forward a couple of steps.
That was all he did, yet Bang Du-chil’s subordinates quickly drew up their Internal Qi and crouched.
Ẽ ň ŭm а. і̃ d
‘What is this?’
The moment I tried to continue that thought, an enormous Qi Wave spread from Bang Du-chil’s body.
P-P-POW.
The ground around Bang Du-chil caved in slightly, clumps of soil were pushed away, and pebbles rolled in every direction.

‘He just raised his Internal Qi?’
It was not easy for an ordinary martial artist to make a martial arts uniform swell as though it would burst, yet Bang Du-chil was displaying this absurd divine might as though it were nothing.
Е̂n̆u må
When Bang Du-chil stomped his foot at the same time, it felt as though the earth trembled.
“If you do not accept the Mountain King Contest, I will beat every last one of you to death!”
......He was shouting like a madman, but I could not simply dismiss it as the ravings of a madman.
“......Gulp.”
Because it felt like it might really happen.
Even my flesh was trembling.

“K-killing is strictly forbidden in a Mountain King Contest.”
Jo Sang-bin lowered his eyes, seeming slightly cowed.
Sir, what are you going to do if you are already this intimidated?
Bang Du-chil pointed at him with his finger and shouted again,
“That is why you should accept the Mountain King Contest. I will at least spare your lives!”
“......”
Е̌ n̂ ümа́
Was he not a robber......? Telling them to accept if they wanted to live......
No, maybe since he was a bandit, he was a robber.

Thank the heavens this man truly did not come to the Murim Academy.
If he had entered the Murim Alliance by any chance, he would have caused trouble immediately, been marked as a Public Enemy of the Murim, and spent his life running away.
At least he had chosen his career path amazingly well.
Under Bang Du-chil’s momentum, Jo Sang-bin eventually squeezed his eyes shut.
Wе̌ bn̈ о̂v̇е̌ l Е n̆um ã
“F-fine. We will accept. However, if you lose in the Mountain King Contest, Jin So-un, who inflicted damage on the Green Forest strongholds, will be held responsible and beheaded!”
If my head gets cut off when we lose, does that not defeat the point of holding the Mountain King Contest?
I tried to raise an objection to that.
“Excuse me......”

But Bang Du-chil was one step faster.
“Of course!”
Wèb̃ ň о v ё l̀ Е nŭ m̈а
......Sir, didn't you say you would die on the same day and at the same hour as me?
Can you really say that so easily?
“Who will step forward first?”
At Jo Sang-bin’s question, Bang Du-chil said,
“First, two of you come out together. I will face you both at once.”
“What?”

As he looked at the Stronghold Masters, whose eyebrows twitched in disbelief, Bang Du-chil casually tossed out the words as though it was nothing.
“This body must sightsee while I am here in Sichuan. I have no time to waste on a Mountain King Contest.”
“......”
By this point, even the Stronghold Masters began emitting killing intent as though they could no longer endure him.
In their eyes, Bang Du-chil, who had only recently passed the age of twenty, was unbearably arrogant.
“Do not regret those words.”
Wê b_n̂ о̌ v̇ еl Ē nu̇ m̄ a
“The king of the Green Forest does not take back words he has once spoken.”
Oh, very nice.

He had already become the king of the Green Forest.
The Stronghold Masters of Black Peak Stronghold and Red Flower Stronghold stepped forward first.
They were the typical image of bandits, each holding a large saber and a great axe.
An enormous Fighting Spirit radiated from the two men as they drew up their Internal Qi with all their strength.

“Uaaaaaah!”
“Aaaaaagh!”
The Stronghold Masters roared stubbornly and charged as though they would strike Bang Du-chil dead in one blow.
However.

BOOM!
The Stronghold Master of Black Peak Stronghold collapsed limply, spraying white teeth from his mouth.

The moment the expression of Red Flower Stronghold’s Stronghold Master changed sharply and he flinched, Bang Du-chil used Gale Art to pull him in smoothly.
CRASH!
Then, with his bare fist, he shattered the great axe to pieces and sent the Stronghold Master of Red Flower Stronghold flying three zhang away.
──────.
In an instant, silence swept over the entire mountain stronghold as though a sudden shower had fallen.
Everyone’s eyes bulged as if they would fall over in shock at this absurd divine might.

Only Bang Du-chil moved calmly.
“Next!”
When he said that while looking at him, Jo Sang-bin’s complexion darkened.
“Y-you do not intend to face all three by yourself, do you?”
“Of course not. The one who will face you is my younger brother.”
Jo Sang-bin let out a small sigh, as though relieved.

What is this?
Why am I the easy one?

This is strangely offensive.
Jo Sang-bin swept his gaze once over the Stronghold Masters sprawled on the ground, then glared at me.
“I will strike you dead and avenge our fellow Green Forest comrades and the Stronghold Masters.”
“The person who knocked down the Stronghold Masters was that man, though?”
Eňùm̃ã
Even though I spoke rationally, Jo Sang-bin did not respond very rationally.
“No more words!”
Jo Sang-bin wrapped even Sword Qi around his greatsword and swung it like a storm.
I shouted loudly without hiding my feeling of injustice.

“Why are you only giving me shit!”
At the same time, I drew out the first (1) form of the White Moon Governing Heaven Three Forms and cut through the bastard’s greatsword and waistline.

TONG───
With a strange sound, the greatsword split in half and rolled across the ground, while his pants fell straight down.
Jo Sang-bin stared blankly back and forth between his greatsword and me.
“Do you intend to continue?”
Bang Du-chil asked Jo Sang-bin, who was standing there blankly with his pants down.
Shake, shake.

Jo Sang-bin, who had lost his wits, hurriedly shook his head.
Bang Du-chil smiled in satisfaction and declared to the surroundings.
“From this hour forth, Red Flower Stronghold and Black Peak Stronghold shall obey the command of Bang Du-chil, Stronghold Master of Green Dragon Stronghold. At the same time......”
His gaze turned toward me.
“Flower Garland Stronghold shall obey the command of Jin So-un, Stronghold Master of Black Dragon Stronghold!”
His ringing voice shook the entire mountain stronghold, and everyone’s gaze focused on me.

Ha, at this point, just spread the rumor to every town and village that I am the Stronghold Master of Black Dragon Stronghold.
If things go well, it might even reach all of Sichuan.
