Chapter 350. Revenge (6)
It was the worst possible situation.
Meeting the Demonic Cult's remnants in the Black Forest.
Encountering the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear during our rearward charge.
With no chance for proper rest and sleep cut to a bare minimum, my body had been driven to the absolute limit of its limits.
And that wasn't all.
W е b n̄о vе l_ Е ň ú mа́
From fighting the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear at the end, my qi center, Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and acupoints had accumulated crippling fatigue.
By all logic, without the Taeul True Scripture's miraculous properties, I should have long since become a corpse.

In the midst of all that, meeting Je Geum-hak was a welcome development.
His decision to go for Mutual Destruction was like a single ray of light falling from the heavens.
A chance to seize the ultimate reversal.
Through Je Geum-hak, I could fill my depleted qi center to the brim.

And there was no telling how much it might expand.
If everything went right, I could deal with the remaining Demonic Cult members as well.
The only problem was......
"Young Master Jin!!!"

"Young Master Jin!!!"
"Eldest Senior Brother!!!!"

My squad members, who had no idea what I was truly planning, were charging in desperately to help.
I tried to throw myself into the storm before it was too late.
But.
PING—

As I shot toward Je Geum-hak's maelstrom, Flying Dragon Claws fired by the Gold-Silver-Copper Brothers and Murong Jae-hwa snagged me and hauled me right back out.
What the hell.
"What do you think you're doing?!!"
"What do YOU think YOU'RE doing, Eldest Senior Brother?!"
Eun-ho spoke with the desperation of someone who truly believed I was about to die, and I was rendered speechless......
Oh. I supposed it could look that way.
Ẇе b̀n̂ о̃ v̀ėľ Е̄ n u mã
Tch, that wasn't what this was......
"Unless you've gone mad and want to die!! You're going in there alone?!"

"Eun-ho......"
"Bluntly speaking, why does Eldest Senior Brother have to sacrifice himself?! For whose sake!!!"
Eun-ho seemed to be harboring a massive misunderstanding.
But the moisture glistening in the other children's eyes kept me from easily revealing the truth.
Ӗ nũm̃а̂.ǐ ḋ
It...... wasn't a sacrifice. It was a lifeline.
I wasn't in danger right now—I was staring at a fortuitous encounter perched on a cliff's edge.
I didn't know how effective it would be, but Je Geum-hak's Innate Energy was on the level of any top-grade spiritual medicine.
For me—someone who'd seen no dramatic change from any spiritual medicine lately—crisis or no crisis, there was no way I could kick away the feast Je Geum-hak had laid out for me.

But the Taeul Sect children, oblivious to my situation, were beyond desperate.
It felt like being a father who'd been caught by his children while skulking through the streets at night on his way to steal something.

'No, that's not right. I only target demonic practitioners.'
Morality and ethics aside, reassuring them came first.
"Listen carefully. I don't do sacrifices."
"......"
A murmur—"Then what do you call everything you've done?"—reached my ears, but I gracefully ignored it.
"I have absolutely no intention of dying in the students' place. That hasn't changed, and it never will."

The deepest regret from my past life was failing to protect these children at the very end.
In this life, I would never repeat that same regret.
"I will remain to the very end, standing before all of you. Until then, I cannot die."
"......Isn't that even worse?"
"Hm?"
"......Never mind."
Еń ùm̂ а̃ . і d
Geum-pyo's expression was full of something that looked suspiciously like dissatisfaction before he turned his head away.
What was wrong with him?

Anyway, I flashed a grin at them.
"So stop worrying. If I thought I was going to die, I wouldn't have charged in to begin with."
"......"
The red and blue winds pouring from Je Geum-hak were certainly threatening.

But I didn't feel for a single moment that they could take my life.
Facing the children and their somehow resentful expressions, I shook my head once more.
"This is the best option right now."
"Then...... we'll help."

Honestly, not watching was how they'd help.
I shook my head firmly.
W̄ ébnо̀ v ěľ Е̇ n ūm а̌
"Would it be all right with you if worrying about you kept me from giving my all?"
"......"
"The best thing you can do for me right now is to get as far from me as possible."
So that they wouldn't see the Great Star-Absorbing Art.
"That is the best way to help me. Understood?"
"......"

"Why is nobody answering?"
"......Understood."
That should be enough.
To the children who reluctantly nodded, I added one more thing.
"In return, I'll tell you what you need to do for me."
Their ears perked up.

When the group that had gone to retrieve Jin So-un returned without him, Seong Mo-ran and Namgung Seon-hwa were aghast.

"Why did you just come back?"
"......"
Geum-pyo's heavy silence was his only answer. As Seong Mo-ran and Namgung Seon-hwa shot to their feet to go after him, Eun-ho held them back.
"Please. Going now won't help Eldest Senior Brother."
Е́ ṅũ m̆а̀ .i̊_d́
"What are you talking about?! Of course we have to help!"
"No."
Even a faint undercurrent of rage colored Eun-ho's face.
"Right now, Eldest Senior Brother is better off without us."

Despite everything he'd tried, the realization that he couldn't lend so much as a hand left him livid—his nails dug into his palms.
"Us going would only be a hindrance."
Enu ṁа̀.. і̊d̂
"How can you sa—"
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
As Jin So-un hurled himself into the storm, an immense chain of explosions ripped outward.
Red winds and blue winds tangled together, and threading between them, Jin So-un's golden Jade Purity Qi surged like a flood.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
On top of that, bursts of flame erupted—fiercer than anything the red wind had displayed before.

Could a single person truly produce fire qi that powerful?
It looked like a moth diving into an inferno.
Dozens, hundreds of Illusion Swords fought to hold the line, but the cascading explosions of qi seemed beyond anything of the mortal world.
Unable to bear it, Sa-ryeon sprang from her seat.
"Senior Sister!"
The hand that caught her shoulder was Eun-ho's.

"Let go! That's not something Eldest Senior Brother can handle alone."
"Do you intend to get in his way?"

"I just—"
"Do you intend to render his sacrifice meaningless?"
"......"
Sa-ryeon was thrown into deeper confusion by this side of Eun-ho she had never seen.
Е̇ n̈umа. î d
All his life, he had trailed behind her, calling her "Senior Sister, Senior Sister."
Even after he'd grown taller than her, a single stern look had always been enough to send him scurrying. That he was now standing in her way was more startling than anything.
"Eldest Senior Brother is fighting a battle of life and death for us, staking his life on it. No—he must believe he might die."
"Th-then we should help......"

Sa-ryeon's voice shrank under Eun-ho's intensity.
Eun-ho shook his head even more firmly.

"If I were the only one here, that's what I'd do. No—I would have done whatever it took...... to save Eldest Senior Brother at least."
Eun-ho's gaze fell on Sa-ryeon.
Then on Dong-ryong, fidgeting anxiously beside her.
He put himself in his Eldest Senior Brother's shoes.
The enemy had resolved to go down together.
And every energy he unleashed was catastrophically dangerous.

Against this enemy, numbers didn't matter.
"But going to help Eldest Senior Brother right now won't actually help."
To save the many, one person's sacrifice was needed.
Who would that sacrifice be forced upon?
Eldest Senior Brother had made himself the sacrificial lamb.
To save even one more person.
W̄ е̃ b́ ñо̌ v̀е l Еnu m̌ а́
To save Dong-ryong, Sa-ryeon, and himself.
Eun-ho understood.

Because if he had been in the same position, he could have laid down his own life for Sa-ryeon and Dong-ryong.
But the bitter truth was that Eun-ho's ability wasn't even enough to serve as the sacrificial lamb against that terrifying enemy.

It wasn't just Jin So-un's fight.
From the battlefield where Il-gak fought, from where Cheol Sun-jik fought—the collateral damage kept spreading.
The enemy was few, but their attacks were devastating.
The allies were many, but precious few could actually fight.

There was no front where the people standing here could contribute.
And beyond that—

"Eldest Senior Brother gave us an order."
An order to evacuate while the opportunity existed.
Eldest Senior Brother was proving, through his actions, that he would fulfill every responsibility of his temporary title as Commander of the Life-or-Death Unit.
In a situation like this, Eun-ho knew better than anyone how foolish it was to act on emotion alone.
So at the very least, what Eldest Senior Brother had entrusted to him as a final request—
he had to carry out properly.

So that his sacrifice would not be in vain.
"Let's move. Now."
His lips had been pressed so hard together that blood seeped through. At his words, no one could mount a rebuttal.
No one could argue with someone speaking this gravely.
With a leaden heart, Eun-ho looked toward where So-un had charged.
'Eldest Senior Brother, please be careful.'

Then he began to move his feet—each step heavier than the last.

Yin-Yang Twin Demons.
A being who had mastered the heaven-defying art of yin-yang qi, whose formidable mind perpetually toyed with people—branded by the Murim Alliance as a two-headed monster.
The current Je Geum-hak was nowhere near the stature of the Yin-Yang Twin Demons of my previous life.
At the Black Thought Alliance, he'd shown enough menace to be genuinely threatening, and I myself had been forced to resolve on Mutual Destruction to face him.
Е n u m̃_а.і̇ d̈
But whether from the Void-Annihilation Fist he'd taken that day, his mind had fractured. This Je Geum-hak fell short of even his Black Thought Alliance self, let alone the previous life's Yin-Yang Twin Demons.
'Of course, that's all relative.'
Having shed the restraint called survival, Je Geum-hak had become a different kind of threat entirely.
He wielded yin-yang qi at the level of the previous life's Yin-Yang Twin Demons, and his hand-to-hand combat rivaled Nam Hwa-seong's.

The man who'd once stood still, relying on his [Ice Barrier] to toy with opponents, was now attacking with the frenzied intensity of an empty-handed brawler.
THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK!
Ē n ũ m̂ӓ. іd
Whatever body modifications he'd undergone, every blow of fist and foot felt like it could shatter bone—but mercifully, that was the extent of it.
He hadn't truly trained in combat arts, so the lethal strikes glanced by—barely.
The real problem was the red and blue winds he was unleashing.
SHRIEK—
The gaps in his fighting technique were filled by those winds.
When I tried to exploit an opening and pour in the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist, the red wind surged in to protect him.

BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
I absorbed the explosion and brought my sword crashing down, only to find the blue wind had already transformed into an [Ice Barrier].
Just one opening.
One single opening was all I needed.
That one chance would be enough.
But the chance refused to come.

He was burning through his life force—wrinkles were etching into his face in real time.
'No!! My spiritual medicine—no, ahem.'

I scattered the Ten Thousand Swords with a frantic urgency.
Then poured out the Twin Heaven Sword Formula at full power.
As the number of attacks he had to block inside the storm multiplied, the density of the red and blue winds began to thin.
"Die, you bastard!!!"
W̌е b n̆ оv е́l Е́ ń ŭ mӓ
I scraped my remaining inner arts to the bone and unleashed everything.
A spectacle unfolded that I'd created yet could scarcely believe was real.
Golden Sword Qi splitting countless winds apart.
Yin-yang qi fighting back, refusing to yield.

The instant those two polar extremes collided—

An ungodly volume of smoke obliterated all visibility.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
How long did the explosions keep thundering?
Je Geum-hak, all reason gone, surveyed his surroundings with vacant eyes.
I helpfully informed him.
"Right here."

As he whirled in terror—
TAP.
Feeling my empty qi center, I activated the Azure Dragon Bracelet at full power.
It's coming!!!!
