Chapter 220. An Uncomfortable Envoy Delegation (3)
Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle.
Blood Battle twenty years ago, and Flame Ghost Consort ten years ago, had each been designated public enemies of the murim and then gone into seclusion. They were Black Path masters.
It seemed they had crawled back into the world after hearing the news of the Black Thought Alliance’s formation.
“It is nice to see you. You arrived fairly quickly.”
Ё n̆ūm̂ а̃ . і́ ď
Flame Ghost Consort approached, flicking off her blood-soaked hands.
Ak Byeong-bi slammed his iron spear down with a thud and warned her.

“Stop!”
Ak Byeong-bi did not seem to know Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle either, but unlike at the inn, the atmosphere they gave off was anything but ordinary, so he seemed to have raised his guard sharply.
Unlike him, Flame Ghost Consort did not lose her relaxed smile and acted coquettishly.
“Oh my! If you speak so coldly, this girl will be hurt…….”
W̆ е bn̈ öṽ е l̆ Е̄n̆u mа̂
Flame Ghost Consort pouted and made a gloomy expression.
Compared to Ak Byeong-bi, who certainly looked old even among middle-aged men, Flame Ghost Consort’s outer appearance, which looked not quite thirty yet, did look like a young girl.
However…….
‘Is that woman not over sixty?’

As someone who knew the truth, even watching that scene was quite the ordeal.
More importantly, I grew curious about why those two had separated from the group they had been moving with and come here on their own.
Еn u.m а̀
Because I was not innocent enough to believe their claim that this was a coincidence.
Ak Byeong-bi, still not lowering his guard, said,
“What are you doing?”
His gaze moved from the corpses lying scattered to one side to the trembling bandits.
Flame Ghost Consort clapped her hands as though it was nothing special.
“Ah! These people were committing evil deeds, so we were correcting them.”

“Correcting?”
“Yes! Coveting other people’s lives and possessions and trying to collect tolls is wrong, is it not?”
“…….”
Flame Ghost Consort smiled sweetly with her lush lips and continued speaking.
“If our identities make you uncomfortable, you may simply pass by.”
“……Hmm.”
Wеb n̊ŏvеl E̊ ň úṁ а
Suspicion did not disappear from Ak Byeong-bi’s face, but Flame Ghost Consort merely smiled softly at him.
“Of course. We are only trying to punish these people for daring to pretend to be bandits when they are not even real bandits.”

“I see.”
Perhaps he thought it was a fight between villains anyway.
In the end, Ak Byeong-bi nodded, turned around, and shouted,
“We continue!”
Е ńu m̃ а . î d̆
At Ak Byeong-bi’s command, the carriages began moving slowly.
The escorts and envoy delegation members did not lower their guard against the two of them the entire time they moved.
Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle simply watched quietly as promised, taking no action.
But as I passed them, I looked around and let out a deep sigh.

It was good that Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle were letting us go quietly. That much was certain. But…….
Tremble, tremble, tremble.
Ѐ n u mӑ.i d
The half-baked bandits were trembling with deathly pale faces as though they had met messengers from the underworld.
Perhaps they had brought the tools they used for farming just as they were, because the only weapons they had were sickles and pitchforks.
……No matter how much I tried to look away, they kept catching my eye.
‘Haa…… Of all people, why did they have to get caught by Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle…….’
If they had been caught by us, it would have ended with them being beaten and having a few bones broken.
……Originally, that should have been the extent of it.

In the end, I stopped walking.
“What do you intend to do with those people?”
“Jin So-un!”
“Benefactor Jin!”
Before my question, the people walking ahead called me in surprise, but I kept staring at Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle.
Flame Ghost Consort’s eyebrow twitched subtly.
È n ǔ m̌ă
“Why are you curious about that, Young Master?”
“They seem like people who had no choice but to become bandits because of the poor harvest…….”

I swept my gaze once over the bandits trembling after being subdued, then glared at Flame Ghost Consort.
“Killing them seems too much.”
“Too much?”
Flame Ghost Consort touched her lips with her long, bloodstained finger and laughed brightly.
Е̃num̂ а̊
“Because of these people, we lost our companions. They must take responsibility for that.”
“And the method is death?”
For an instant, a firm light flashed through Flame Ghost Consort’s eyes.
“If they stepped into the world where the weak are prey to the strong, the responsibility is always their own life.”

“…….”
“Moreover, if we had not judged them, your group would have been attacked by them. Is that all right?”
E ň ũḿа̀
“We are not that weak either.”
“Hmm…….”
Flame Ghost Consort stared at me strangely and intently, then continued.
“Then are you saying you will fight us for the sake of these people who might have targeted you?”
It was a clear provocation.
However, I did not avoid her eyes.

The martial arts level of Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle that I remembered was two levels above the Eight Evils.
If we fought here, the damage on our side would not be minor either.
“Do not tell me you interfered in our business without even that much resolve?”
“…….”
Then Flame Ghost Consort turned her head halfway and said,
“Old Slave Tu.”
Wē b n̄ о̇v̊ е̄ l̄ Е ńum̃ à
“Understood!”
Blood Battle, who had been called Old Slave Tu, knocked over one of the half-baked bandits in his hand and tried to stomp his head open just like that.

“Crazy!”
I stepped with Taeul Eighty-Thousand Divine Steps, passed Flame Ghost Consort, and blocked Old Slave Tu’s foot path.
Thwack.
“Aaaaaaagh!”
Е ǹ um а̌. і ḋ
The half-baked bandit whose head had nearly burst screamed and fainted, and the area between his legs grew wet.
Tingle, tingle.
I, who had blocked Blood Battle’s foot, also felt my bones tingle.
Feeling as though they might truly break if he put just a little more strength into it, I kicked his foot upward with all my might.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Whirl. Tap.
Though the force of his stomp had been that strong, Blood Battle spun through the air as if he were a feather and lightly landed on the ground.
Е̌ń u m̀а. їď
Clang.
Clang.
Clang, clang.
The envoy delegation members also prepared for battle.
Ak Byeong-bi adjusted his grip on his iron spear, Il-myeong put his prayer beads into his bosom, and Dang Seo-hui slipped throwing knives between her fingers.
Blood Battle grinned as though delighted.

“See? I told you he was an interesting fellow.”
Even though the energy the envoy delegation members released was not insignificant, Blood Battle and Flame Ghost Consort merely continued talking among themselves.
Flame Ghost Consort also covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
“That is true. I heard he was a child even more interesting than Small Buddha. He really did withstand Old Slave Tu’s leg strength.”
At her words, the faces of the envoy delegation members turned sharp.
The fact that she knew Small Buddha’s identity meant she knew this traveling party was the Murim Alliance’s envoy delegation and was still acting relaxed.
Е̄n ūmä . і̆d
Blood Battle pointed at me with the tip of his chin and asked,
“Little brat. Where is your sect?”

I received his gaze directly and answered,
“Is it not courtesy in the murim to state one’s own sect before asking another person’s sect?”
At my words, Blood Battle looked for a moment as though he had been struck, then burst into hearty laughter.
“……Hahahahaha. You truly are a funny fellow.”
Е̃n̈ u̇m а̌.і̄d
Then, soon after, he wiped the laughter completely from his face.
“So you will not say it?”
Of course, I was not the type of person to force courtesy upon another person.
“I am Jin So-un of Taeul Sect.”

“…….”
“…….”
Еn ù m̄а
“…….”
I could feel it.
I could feel the sharp gazes of the envoy delegation members.
But what of it? The opponents were Black Path giants who had once been designated public enemies of the murim.
At my answer, Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle appeared rather surprised.
“Mm? You are the Black Flame Dragon?”

“Oh my? Really?”
“…….”
The two suddenly released their fighting spirit and approached.
What was this reaction?
“You look gentler than I expected.”
“They said you are the joint successor of the Black Path. Who taught you?”
Еn̂.u mă
For a moment, my head spun.
‘Do not spread bullshit rumors! There is an ideological inquisitor over there!’

Since I did not have the confidence to shout the voice in my heart before those two masters, I quickly changed the topic.
“In any case, they are probably the heads of households, so please let them go at the level of corporal punishment.”
While Flame Ghost Consort had already stopped paying attention and did not take her gaze off me, Blood Battle frowned and shook his head.
“No!”
Èn ùm̀ ӑ
“Pardon?”
“I have never once let anyone who interfered in my business live in my entire life.”
“…….”
Was that not the reason he had been marked as a public enemy of the Murim Alliance because of that temper?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
How could he not reflect even once after twenty years?
While I was dumbfounded, Blood Battle crossed his arms and made a proposal.
Е ǹu m а̂
“But if you make a wager with me and win, I will listen to your opinion.”
“What kind of wager?”
“Receive three forms from me. Then I will spare them.”
Without the slightest hesitation, I pointed at Ak Byeong-bi and said,
“That person is the leader of our traveling party. Could he receive them instead?”
“……!”

I could feel Ak Byeong-bi’s widened gaze.
But what could I do? Blood Battle was scary even to me.
However, Blood Battle shook his head firmly.
“No. The one who will receive my three forms is you. If not, I will kill all of these people.”
That, that temper of his.
In the end, I let out a sigh.
Е̂n̄um á . i d̄
“Haa…… Very well.”
When I spread my legs shoulder-width apart and took a sword-drawing stance, curiosity appeared in Blood Battle’s eyes.

“Ho, did Taeul Sect have a sword-drawing stance?”
“This is the first time I have heard that Blood Battle’s tongue was this long.”
“……!”
For the first time, surprise appeared on Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle’s faces.
W̆е́bnо̄v̊ е̃l̊ Eňu m а
Of course, the envoy delegation and escort agency members were almost on the verge of fainting at their identities.
Blood Battle wore a serious expression unlike before.
“You knew us?”
“Are we not starting?”

“……Huhu, how amusing.”
When I did not answer, Blood Battle stood with his hands clasped behind his back and raised one knee to waist height.
W̊ѐ b ñ о̄vе̂ l̂ E n̄ um ӑ
Soon, red energy gathered on his foot, and an enormous force began stretching out from it.
“This is the first form.”
Boom!
With a sound like the air being torn apart, Force Qi shot out like an arrow and aimed for my heart.
I drew up my inner arts and unfolded the first form of Three Forms of White Moon Ruling Heaven.
Shweeek—

Although it was far later than the blood energy Blood Battle had shot out, “Extreme Speed” of Three Forms of White Moon Ruling Heaven sufficiently caught up to the speed of the Force Qi.
And the moment the two energies collided right in front of my nose,
Screeeeeeeeeech—
The sound of iron grinding rang out around us as though tearing through the eardrums.
“Haa, haa, haa.”
I had only barely blocked the first form, yet it felt as though all the energy in my body had been drained away.
Ѐ ňûm̆_а̃.і d̄
“Eh? That sword of yours is……?”
I quickly cut off Blood Battle’s words.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“There are two forms left.”
“The more I look, the more interesting you are.”
Blood Battle loosened his hands from behind his back and began curling both hands into circles.
Shiiiiik—
Wëb̊ nо v е̂ l Ӗ n ü m̌ ā
The sound of air being sucked in echoed from all directions, and a massive energy gathered inside his hands.
I also prepared Radiant Heaven Divine Palm and struck back.
Bang!
Bang!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Kwaaaaaang!
Blood Battle’s energy and the energy of Radiant Heaven Divine Palm interlocked, making the entire unnamed mountain ring thunderously.
Ê n ûm̆ ӓ..і d̆
Among the half-baked bandits and cart hands trembling in fear, some could not withstand the shock and vomited blood.
Whoooosh—
When the thick sand and dust cleared, Blood Battle was looking at me with unbelieving eyes.
There was an unusual light in his gaze.
“Huh……. I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but were they instead underestimated?”
Having blocked Blood Battle’s second form, I was already in no state to answer.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
‘I will die at this rate.’
Usually, once people reached the level of an absolute master, they tended to hold back at least for the sake of amusement, but this madman Blood Battle had no such thing.
I also put on as much bravado as I could because I did not want to lose.
“One form remains.”
Blood Battle also seemed to have grown excited, and nodded.
“Yes, yes. If you receive this as well, I will listen to your request.”
Ё ñü mа.. і d
Blood Battle took a starting stance and then lightly extended his fist.
From his fist, a red Fist Force stretched out.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was a simple form without feints or variations, but at the enormous energy it held, curses sprang out of me on their own.
‘Fuck……. He really intends to kill me!’
At the same time as I unfolded Ten Thousand Seas Heaven-Earth Sword Formula, I coated a single sword from Ten Thousand Swords in Force Qi and slammed all of my inner arts into it.
It was an extremely slow Fist Force without variations, but from what I felt, it seemed to arrive in the blink of an eye.
Е n̈u mа.
“Hraaaaaah!”
And the moment the Fist Force and Sword Force clashed,
Whooom.
The energy in the area exploded, instantly creating a vacuum, and as air was sucked back into that vacuum, explosions burst out in every direction.

BOOM, BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
I endured until the end, but was eventually pushed out of my place by the force.
Е̌n ü m ă
“Haa, haa, haa, haa.”
Even though I had not moved violently, my breath came out in harsh gasps, and cold sweat flowed all over my body on its own.
After the explosion subsided, Blood Battle still stood in place before me, looking at his own fist.
“How is it? I won, did I not?”
Blood Battle smiled at me, seeing that I had been pushed from my place.
The moment his hand turned toward the bandits,

I stood between him and the bandits and extended the Black Dragon Sword.
Blood Battle’s eyebrow twitched slightly.
“……Do you want to die in their place?”
“I do not want that.”
“Then move aside.”
“I do not want that either.”
Е nūm.а̌ .і̃ d
“Eh?”
Blood Battle’s face, which had been full of playfulness until now, stiffened.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“I only overlook things because you are entertaining once or twice. If you do not want to die, it would be better for you to move.”
I did not want to die, but I also did not want to see these people die.
“It will not be easy.”
“Hah…….”
Еn ũm̀ а
Fortunately, because I had quickly withdrawn my body, I had no internal injuries.
Moreover, after the three forms ended in my defeat, the envoy delegation members also took their positions and surrounded Flame Ghost Consort and Blood Battle.
It was a situation where they could act at any moment.
At the very least, we could buy enough time for the half-baked bandits to run away.

While I was thinking that, Blood Battle looked at Flame Ghost Consort.
Judging by the way Flame Ghost Consort’s lips moved, she seemed to be sending Sound Transmission.
E n̄ ü m a
“Hmm?”
Soon, Blood Battle made a strange expression and nodded.
Then Flame Ghost Consort opened her mouth.
“Then how about this? In the first place, the reason we were trying to judge these people was because we lost the companions who were supposed to guide us.”
They were killing people because they had lost their way?
As expected, these crazy Black Path people had no common sense at all.

While I was so dumbfounded that I lost my words, even more absurd words came.
“So how about letting us travel with your traveling party?”
Hah, I really could not predict them.
“……Do you know where we are going before you say that?”
“Are you not going to the founding ceremony of the Black Thought Alliance?”
“…….”
Ē ń u m̆a .іd̊
Flame Ghost Consort opened her eyes wide and added,
“Ah, do not misunderstand. I only guessed it. I heard that the Murim Alliance had sent an envoy delegation.”

“Then are you saying you will spare them?”
Flame Ghost Consort shrugged and answered,
“Of course. The problem has been resolved.”
I was not the leader of my traveling party. Strictly speaking, it was not even my traveling party.
W ѐb̈n̊о̃ v̀ е l̂ E̊n ù ṁ ӑ
If permission was needed, naturally, I had to receive the permission of Ak Byeong-bi, who was serving as the leader.
When I turned my eyes toward Ak Byeong-bi, Ak Byeong-bi shook his head slightly.
It was a clear sign of refusal.
I nodded to Ak Byeong-bi, then spoke to Flame Ghost Consort.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Very well. Let us travel together. In return, you must keep your promise.”
“……!!!”
Е̊ňúm.а̄ . īd
Whether Ak Byeong-bi glared at me from afar as if he wanted to kill me or not, Flame Ghost Consort smiled at me and answered,
“Of course.”
But, well, in the end, had the suspicious gaze I had been receiving until now not merely changed into a gaze that wanted to kill me?
It was better than someone actually dying.
Of course. Absolutely.
