Chapter 234
Chapter 234. Darkness within Darkness (4)
According to my judgment.
The culprit had made three mistakes.
The first was that they had gone out of their way to leave the mark of the “Ak Clan” on Gu Gye-ak’s body.
The second was that they had not expected Ak Byeong-bi’s vitality to be so tenacious.
Е̇ n̊ ū m а̄
Well, this one did seem to have some room for rebuttal.
If they had known that man’s life would be as stubborn as a cockroach’s, they would have put a hole through his heart, just as they had done to Gu Gye-ak.

And the last one was......
That I had been included in that conspiracy.
Above all else, the third mistake was the most important.
To think they had chosen me, a man already filled with resentment from an unlucky life, as the target of a crime.
Wе̃ b nо v̇ е l̆ Е n̄um̌а
There was no excuse for this, even if they were beaten to death.
“What are you thinking?”
Blood Battle, who was following me, furrowed his brow.
I calmly shrugged.

“Mm...... I need to draw out the culprit, don't I?”
“What are you talking about? How exactly will you draw out someone hiding......?”
Е n̄_u̇m ӓ
“The culprit cannot help but take an interest in their own crime. That is an instinct no culprit can avoid. You know that well too, Lord Blood Battle, do you not?”
“What?!”
This was not the Murim Alliance.
This was the Black Thought Alliance, where strength and violence ran rampant.
In this place ruled by the law of the strong eating the weak, I had even received the Alliance Leader’s permission. What was there for me to hesitate over?
BANG.

I kicked open the main gate and strode inside. The martial artists sprawled about the courtyard glared at me with sharp eyes.
I lightly ignored those gazes and shouted boldly.
“I have come to meet Bae Hwan-jang, the Deputy Sect Leader of the Yellow Sand Sect.”
Bae Hwan-jang was an infamous Swordsman and, at the same time, a master of Yang-Style Qi Arts.
Unlike Gu Gye-ak, who had been an outsider who rolled in later, he had originally been a disciple of the Yellow Sand Sect, and because of that, he had often clashed with Gu Gye-ak.
In other words, he could be called one of the leading murder suspects.

“What kind of crazy bastard comes here like this?!”
“Isn’t that guy a complete lunatic?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“He is out of his mind.”
As expected, the atmosphere was different from the Murim Alliance starting from the way they spat curses.
People from Orthodox Path sects would at least begin by mentioning “courtesy.” These bastards drew their blades first before even standing up.
At that moment.
Еñ ûm̊.ӑ ..і̌ ḋ
“You dare speak the name of Lord Bae, the honored elder of our sect.”
A voice filled with anger flew toward me.
The one who pushed past the martial artists and came forward was none other than Gal Cheon-gi.
His anger made him look exactly like a filial son who had heard someone insult his parents.

But did you not enter the Yellow Sand Sect only recently?
If someone saw you, they would think you were born in the Yellow Sand Sect.
Е n um а. і ď
“Ah! Gal Cheon-gi. It is nice to see you, but I came here today because I have something to ask the Deputy Sect Leader, so, mm...... go call him for me.”
“You, you bastard!”
As expected of a bastard who could not control his temper, he thrust out his saber before even hearing what was going on.
Seriously, he is troublesome.
There we go, troublesome things go this way......
I slightly turned my body, unfolded Lotus, and threw him toward Blood Battle.

“Eh?”
Blood Battle, who had been watching with his hands clasped behind his back, clicked his tongue at the blade stabbing right up to his eyes and moved his foot indifferently.
Then.
BOOM! KABOOM!
Gal Cheon-gi flew away with the sound of air bursting and slammed into the wall.
Blood Battle raised his voice, full of dissatisfaction.
Е ṅ ūm̂а
“What are you doing?”
I put on a surprised expression as if I had not known.

“Oh? Why were you standing there, of all places? I am in the middle of working.”
“......You are saying this is my fault?”
“Yes. Otherwise, you could have simply dodged.”
“Huh......! This bastard, I let you go on and on.”
Wéb n̆ о̂ ṽе̄ ľ Е n̆u m а̌
Meanwhile, the martial artists of the Yellow Sand Sect rushed at me.
I grabbed the arm of another Yellow Sand Sect martial artist, snatched his sword, and kicked him down.
“Keuk!”
After kicking up the fallen martial artist’s chin and knocking him unconscious, I immediately blocked the two saw-toothed sabers stabbing toward me.

SCREEEECH.
The rough saber blades tangled with each other, and a metallic screech that scratched at the eardrums rang out all around.
E nû m̊_а̊. і̌ d
I loosened my strength for an instant and once again executed Lotus-
Then threw another martial artist at Blood Battle.
“Jin So-un, you bastard! Why do you keep......!”
BOOM! KABOOM!
Wow, he really is quick.
My, what incredible reaction speed.

With one movement of Blood Battle’s foot, the martial artist flew away and crashed into Gal Cheon-gi, who had just been trying to stand back up.
“Hey now, why do you keep interfering? I told you not to interfere.”
“You bastard! You keep......”
“So you could just dodge, could you not?”
“I have never dodged anything in my life....... You son of a bitch! Stop it!”
I continued throwing the martial artists at him one by one.

After this happened five times, with Gal Cheon-gi, who had tried to get up, being slammed back into the wall again and again by the flying martial artists, the martial artists of the Yellow Sand Sect began hesitating and widening the distance.
In this respect, Black Path people were easier to talk to.
At the very least, once they thought the other person was stronger than them, they stopped charging in, did they not?
I pointed with my chin at Gal Cheon-gi, who was wriggling on the floor, and said to the martial artists,
Е̃ n̈umа̂
“Go bring Deputy Sect Leader Bae Hwan-jang.”
The martial artists of the Yellow Sand Sect were rolling their eyes around as though they did not know what to do.
If they went to call the Deputy Sect Leader, it would feel as though they had yielded to an Orthodox Path brat they had ignored until now.
But if they did not call him, they felt as though they would end up playing house with Gal Cheon-gi and the wall.

At that moment.
“Martial artists of the Yellow Sand Sect, listen!”
Ѐ n̊ û m̂ а̀ .i d́
Along with a booming voice from inside the pavilion, dozens of people came pouring out.
Just from the aura they gave off, their caliber was powerful enough that they could not even be compared to the riffraff I had just dealt with.
The bastard looked around at the mess, then fixed his gaze on me.
“There is an Orthodox Path nobody here who takes the Yellow Sand Sect lightly. Show him that the Yellow Sand Sect is not so easy!”
“Yes, sir!”
With a thunderous response, dozens of people occupied the eight directions and unfolded a saber formation.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
This might not be easy......
Whoosh.
At the sudden sound of wind, I raised my head.
......Blood Battle had lightly kicked off the ground and climbed onto the roof of the main gate.
I asked with an utterly dumbfounded expression.
“Did you not say you never dodged?”
Еnümа̌
“Shut up. I cannot stand troublesome things.”
“Of course.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Well, I had not expected anything in the first place anyway.
I drew the Black Dragon Sword and raised the Taeul True Scripture.
A moment later.
Four blades of Ten Thousand Swords that looked exactly like the Black Dragon Sword appeared and surrounded me on all sides.
W̄ еb ṅо̆v̈ ѐl̄ E n_u m а̄
Standing face-to-face before the members of the Yellow Sand Sect, I grinned.
“Let me see just how impressive the Yellow Sand Sect is.”
As if my words had been the signal, the saber formation moved, and enormous pressure began closing in from all directions.
Although he had moved after receiving Cha Seok-du’s heavy request, at this moment, Blood Battle was more interested in Jin So-un than in that request.

This was effectively a crisis where war might break out between the Black Thought Alliance and the Murim Alliance.
The Envoy Delegation was in danger, and its leader was bedridden with injuries.
Ě ṅũ ḿа
Jin So-un had to resolve this difficulty without a single clue or any support.
Blood Battle had held great expectations for how the promising talent known as the Black Flame Dragon would solve this problem.
And yet......
‘What is this?’
Noise so loud that his brow furrowed on its own rang all around.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
KABOOM, KABOOM, KABOOM!
Huge explosions and bursts erupted, making the surroundings tremble.
The newly laid blue-steel stone floor flipped over, and the neatly leveled piles of earth were overturned wildly, exposing their insides.
It was clearly a fight of one against many, yet the screams and curses were coming from the Yellow Sand Sect’s side.
“What the fuck! What is that bastard?!”
“It is an Illusion Sword! Do not be afraid, just break through!”
Wѐb̄n̄õv̈е̌l̂ En̆ u ḿа̂
“Fuck! You say that like it is easy! That Illusion Sword nearly cut off my arm, you bastard!”
Blood Battle let out a hollow laugh.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Huh, this is so ridiculous it is driving me mad.”
On the way here, he had tried to gauge Jin So-un’s martial talent, but this lightly surpassed the level he had guessed back then.
No, even now, it did not seem like he was going all out.
As if his purpose was deliberately causing a disturbance, he used bold and rough moves, but in truth, no one suffered serious injury or died.
Е̊ n̈ u̇ mа .і d̃
BAM, BAM, BAM!
The sudden uproar that broke out at the Yellow Sand Sect quickly spread to the surrounding Black Path people as well, and as people who loved fighting, they took their places and began gathering faster than anyone else.
“What is this? Why are the Black Flame Dragon and the Yellow Sand Sect fighting?”
“I heard there was friction after he came to investigate the Deputy Sect Leader?”

“Investigate? What investigation is the Black Flame Dragon doing?”
“They say he stepped forward to investigate the matter of Gu Gye-ak’s death.”
Eṅuṁа
“What kind of crazy bastard is that? They killed him themselves, and now who are they investigating?”
As the truth of the incident spread little by little, some among the Black Path people could no longer hide their anger.
Moreover, as the Yellow Sand Sect was being pushed back one-sidedly by the Black Flame Dragon’s tremendous might, there were even more who grew indignant.
In the end, they sprang from their places.
“Let us teach that damned bastard a lesson!”
“Good! How long are we going to keep suffering under the Murim Alliance’s oppression?!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Let us go!”
“Uaaaaaaaah!”
The saber formation unfolded by the Yellow Sand Sect’s martial artists had already been broken long ago.
As if trying to fill the gaps between them, the Black Path people who had gathered after hearing the commotion began climbing over the walls and charging toward Jin So-un.
When dozens of people rushed in at the same time, Jin So-un’s movements began growing even faster.
“Look at this mad bastard......”
E n ŭ m̊ а .іd
Blood Battle could not help being shocked as he watched Jin So-un’s might.
He himself had done every possible thing and every impossible thing when his blood had been hot, but even that had its limits.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He had never provoked enemies like this in the very heart of enemy territory and faced an endless tide of enemies alone.
It was a truly terrifying display of might.
Before he realized it, Blood Battle began following every one of Jin So-un’s movements.
KABOOM, KABOOM, KABOOM.
Е̇ n uṁӑ
Jin So-un’s figure slid as though walking across ice and created space.
Black Path men holding swords, axes, and pitchforks filled that space and swung sharp weapons at Jin So-un.
When the fist extending from Jin So-un’s left hand painted the air with dozens of Fist Forms, the weapons that had been trying to pierce him could advance no farther, as though they had been blocked by a stone wall.
THUD! THUD, THUD! THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Four martial artists fell to the extended Fist Forms.
Behind them, six more Black Path martial artists filled the space again.
Ěn ŭ ḿ а̃
A fight like this would not end no matter how long it continued.
“Huh...... Was the Taeul Sect’s martial art this powerful?”
Blood Battle let out an exclamation before realizing it.
Then he soon shook his head.
‘No. This is enlightenment that the bastard reached entirely on his own!’
He properly utilized the principle of Variation to throw his opponents into confusion, then used the principle of Speed to suppress them in one stroke.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
‘Huh......!’
Illusion and Reality were mixed together, to the point that even Blood Battle found it difficult to distinguish what was real and what was false.
The principle of Combat, which Blood Battle had only understood after crossing life and death hundreds of times, was being freely used by a bastard who had only just passed twenty.
‘Just what kind of bastard is he?’
However, that only lasted for a while.
Once it reached nearly thirty minutes, Jin So-un began to show signs of gradually wavering.
Еn um̂ а̀.id̄
It was not a very long time to the senses, but considering that he had been suppressing two or three people in a single breath, even if one set aside his inner arts, his stamina would not be able to endure.
Moreover, the greatest problem was that Jin So-un was holding back with his attacks.

The people who fell could not get back up, but the fact that none of them were seriously injured made the lowly Black Path men grow a hundredfold in courage and charge in.
“He is tired! Just a little more!”
“Cut off that bastard’s head! Hang it on a pole and display it at the Black Thought Alliance’s front gate!”
“Kill him!”
Е̇ n̆u̇m а́
Amid the violence and screams, blood and teeth flying everywhere, the Black Path martial artists whose excitement had risen to the extreme drew up even more energy and rushed at Jin So-un.
On the other hand, Jin So-un was visibly growing tired little by little.
-Jin So-un! What the hell are you thinking?!
Unable to endure any longer, Blood Battle sent a Sound Transmission, but no answer came back from Jin So-un.

As if he were wholly immersed in the fight, the moment he knocked one bastard down, he swung his sword, fists, and feet in a Trance until he knocked down the next.
At first, even his footsteps had moved fluidly, but because the courtyard was now filled with injured people, his feet began catching again and again. There were also countless moments when he stumbled and exposed openings.
Еňũ m̈а
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG.
In the end, small cuts began appearing on Jin So-un’s arms and legs as well.
The Black Path people did not miss that opening and rushed in like mad.
“The bastard is bleeding!”
“Kill him!”
“It is over now!”

Unable to keep watching, Blood Battle finally sprang from his place and jumped in.
He quickly stood with his back against Jin So-un’s.
“You mad bastard......! Are you planning to die like this?”
Seeing that Jin So-un did not answer him, Blood Battle eventually picked him up by force and leaped onto the roof.
Contrary to his expectation that there would be fierce resistance, Jin So-un leisurely shook the blood from his sword and sheathed the Black Dragon Sword.
“Huh?”
W̃ ĕ_ḃn̄ о̊ ṽеl Е̄_ṅ u m а̃
Moreover, unlike just moments ago, he did not look tired either.
“What in the world is going on?”

Whether Blood Battle looked at him with an utterly dumbfounded gaze or not, Jin So-un’s expression remained peaceful.
“You said it was troublesome, yet you ended up interfering after all.”
“What?!”
When Jin So-un then let out a mischievous laugh, Blood Battle was left speechless.
Е́ n ũ m̈à
“What in the world were you thinking, doing something like this?! Were you not trying to find the culprit?”
Jin So-un calmly dusted off his body with his hand and said,
“I can gain two things from this matter.”
“Two things?”

Jin So-un lightly nodded.
“Yes. First, the Black Thought Alliance will cooperate obediently with the investigation from now on.”
Еn̄ ūm̈а̌
Blood Battle nodded without realizing it.
Rather than have him make a mess like this every time, cooperating would be somewhat better.
But he soon shook his head.
That would only apply to some people.
“You do not know how lowly Black Path bastards can be.”
“Of course I do. However, once they know that I am receiving your help, Lord Blood Battle, they will not dare to fight recklessly anymore.”

Blood Battle’s mouth fell open.
“You aimed for that from the start?”
“Since I am an envoy of the Murim Alliance, there is no way the Black Path people would help me even if I asked them for cooperation.”
“Huh...... Fucking hell. Then what if I had not stepped in?”
Jin So-un smiled leisurely, as though he had known everything.
“If it was just a simple watcher’s role, there are plenty of other people who could carry it out besides you, Lord Blood Battle. There would also be no need to reveal yourself within my field of vision. Does that not mean this was also intended to protect the Envoy Delegation?”
Е̄ nů m а
No, he knew that?
Since when?

“Furthermore, if it was simple protection, they could have used martial artists from Four Emperors Peak, the Alliance Leader’s own sect. Yet the fact that he deliberately attached you two as guards must mean it was to prepare for any possible danger, would it not?”
“......”
His mind was no ordinary thing.
Perhaps it had only been natural that he had lost at go.
Еň üm̈а
For the first time after living for more than One Cycle, Blood Battle felt goosebumps rising on his forearms.
“Black Flame Dragon...... That Seok-du bastard named you frighteningly well.”
“Pardon?”
“Nothing. In any case, this was far too big an incident to say you gained something from it. Now every Black Path man gathered in the Black Thought Alliance will try to kill you. Will you be fine?”

Jin So-un smiled triumphantly.
“That is precisely one of the two things I gained.”

Blood Battle asked back, unable to understand.
“A threat to your life?”
Jin So-un nodded broadly.
“The atmosphere has now begun to form. From the perspective of the culprit who wants conflict between the Murim Alliance and the Black Thought Alliance......”
At last, Jin So-un’s eyes began sparkling.
“Is this not an opportunity they cannot miss?”

“......”
Until now, Blood Battle had never felt afraid of anyone or anything.
And yet, strangely enough, from the brat smiling before his eyes, he felt a chill for the first time in his life.
