Chapter 184. Fate (4)
I rushed at the bastard unfolding the first form of the Divine Wind Seven Forms with full power.
The distance closing in an instant.
As soon as I swung the Master’s Blade at the bastard, he showed a ridiculous response.
He lifted the body of the old man lying at his feet with his left hand.
As if he would use that old man as a shield.
The sharpness and strength of the Master’s Blade were not ordinary.
It was even covered in Sword Qi.
It had the power to pierce through the old man’s body and cut even the bastard’s torso.
But I had to turn the sword path.
Because I couldn't kill an innocent old man too.
After hurriedly retrieving the sword, I unfolded the second move.
Then the bastard stepped and dodged.
And just as I was about to swing the sword again. He used that old man as a shield again.
“Tsk.”
When I lightly clicked my tongue and turned the sword path, the Blood Disaster was grinning.
“Hahaha. You worry uselessly. Isn’t it the same once you die by my hands anyway? Are you that afraid of leaving evidence?”
As expected.
There was another reason why the bastard used the old man as a shield.
To leave a wound cut by the Master’s Blade on the old man’s body.
To frame me for the disappearance cases that had happened so far.
“I don’t care about evidence. Trash.”
“Hahaha. But why do you turn the sword path so urgently?”
“My sword is a sword for killing trash like you.”
The bastard tilted his head.
“You have the exact same eyes as me yet say truly strange things.”
Eyes genuinely not understanding.
Why was it?
A story I heard from Teacher Sama in the past came to mind.
The lowest of the foolish cannot be moved.
It was a story where Confucius scolded someone pooping by the roadside, but ignored someone pooping in the middle of the road and passed by.
Someone who poops by the roadside has a minimum of shame so they can be fixed, but a guy who doesn't know shame at all cannot be fixed.
A sigh of relief naturally leaked out.
“That’s a relief.”
I had such a worry while investigating that bastard.
The worry that maybe I was too late.
Even if he lacked emotions, he could be taught with knowledge. Just like with Junior Sister Choyeon.
If I had found him before he committed evil deeds, couldn't I have led him to the right path by dragging him around?
But now that worry disappeared.
“Because you are completely hopeless trash.”
It felt rather refreshing.
That bastard was a guy who couldn't be saved even if taught.
Because he was a guy who felt pleasure through killing.
Even if I taught him to only kill villains, he was a guy who would eventually commit a massacre. Addicted to that pleasure.
Thinking about it, the future Blood Disaster was also like that.
Now he was committing murder saying he gives rest to the sick and old suffering in this life.
It was completely insane talk, but it had its own logic.
But how was the future Blood Disaster?
He was a crazy bastard who killed everyone in sight regardless of age or gender.
Right. That bastard didn't become the Blood Disaster by going crazy at some moment.
He was a guy who was the Blood Disaster from birth.
“Hahahaha. This is truly. I thought we were the same kind, but why do you keep putting on airs? If you keep coming out like that, wouldn't I want to tear that mouth apart?”
Saying so, the Blood Disaster threw a right palm strike unexpectedly.
A hollow laugh was about to escape.
The magnificent Buddhist internal energy running through the bastard’s acupoints was reflected intact in my eyes.
That golden energy known to have the function of destroying evil blooms along the bastard’s palm.
Perhaps because of that energy riding and flowing through the bastard’s whole body.
The sight of the bastard throwing a right palm strike looked like the appearance of a Buddha statue.
And that Buddha statue’s palm was aiming exactly for my heart.
Hurriedly twisting my upper body to dodge, I swung the Master’s Blade at the same time.
The bastard thrusts the old man like a shield again.
When I avoid the old man and turn the sword path, the bastard grins and unfolds the martial arts of the Potala Palace.
A smile stained with pleasure on a benevolent face.
Martial arts aiming only for vitals with internal energy full of mercy.
I thought if you mixed Buddha and Asura half and half, it would feel like this.
After exchanging moves with the bastard a few times.
This crazy bastard thrust the old man like a shield again.
There was no reason to keep falling for the same method.
The sword path that was moving straight twists rapidly.
Unfolding the Flying Swallow Sword Art, I aimed for the bastard’s exposed right thigh.
Just as the bastard was about to move his right leg to dodge. Part of the Sword Qi gathered on the Master’s Blade was shot out secretly.
“Ho.”
The bastard swung his right arm with an expression of interest and struck that Sword Qi away.
I didn't expect to corner the bastard at once.
When I swung the Master’s Blade again, dozens of strands of Sword Qi raged along the Master’s Blade.
They spewed out aiming for different directions each.
Sun Moon Infinite Sword Fifth Form. Illusionary Sun Myriad Changes.
Dozens of strands of Sword Qi drawing different trajectories fly aiming at the Blood Disaster.
The Blood Disaster stepped with the mysterious footwork of the Potala Palace and dodged some, struck some away with his right palm, and blocked the remaining part by thrusting the old man held in his left hand.
I expected that bastard to come out like that.
The trajectories of the Sword Qi moving towards the old man twisted.
Sword Qi twisted like snakes fly aiming for the bastard’s flank.
Paat!
The bastard hurriedly threw his body to dodge this.
I also chased the bastard and swung the Master’s Blade repeatedly.
The bastard continued to use the old man as a shield.
It didn't matter.
Just as the old man was a hindrance to me, he was also a hindrance to the bastard.
Because holding the old man meant the bastard’s left hand was sealed.
Perhaps realizing this belatedly, the bastard made a fed-up expression.
“This is truly. It seems to be a hindrance to the play.”
The Blood Disaster unexpectedly extended his left arm.
Then the body of the old man held in the bastard’s left hand flew roughly towards me.
While softly receiving it by utilizing the Principle of Yielding so the old man’s body wouldn't be hurt.
Paat!
The bastard who dug in unexpectedly threw a right palm strike towards my heart.
The bastard’s eyes filled with joy were visible.
Wait, his eyes had completely rolled back at the thought of seeing blood soon.
I also smiled willingly.
“Hehehe.”
I already knew the bastard would throw the old man at me.
Thanks to the two eyes opened wide long ago.
I thrust the Master’s Blade facing the right palm strike the bastard threw.
Because of the old man held in the bastard’s left hand, I had been swinging the sword as lightly as possible until now.
Because I had to turn the sword path avoiding the old man at every moment.
But not anymore.
It meant I could swing the sword with full power with a comfortable mind.
The internal energy circulating my whole body gathered towards the Master’s Blade at once.
According to the principle of the Sun Moon Infinite Sword Sixth Form Painting the Moon on Still Water, the gathered energy condenses to the utmost.
Wiiiiing.
Enhanced Qi spewing out along with the sword cry.
The bastard’s eyes, which were filled with joy, shake.
Slash!
Blood splattered with a cutting sound.
Regrettably, I couldn't cut off the bastard’s hand completely.
It was just a shallow cut on the back of the hand.
At the last moment, the bastard also formed Enhanced Qi to counter.
Thanks to the Master’s Blade being incomparably sturdy and sharp compared to bare hands, the blade edge touched the back of the hand piercing through that Enhanced Qi.
Only the problem was that the bastard retrieved his hand in the moment the Enhanced Qi collided.
“If you like blood so much, why don’t you lick and eat your own blood?”
I said while gently throwing the old man held in my left hand to the back.
Thud.
The noise of the old man’s body falling to the ground.
The Blood Disaster, looking at the blood flowing from the back of his hand, grins.
Soon he lifted his right hand and licked the blood flowing from the back of his hand.
The bastard tilted his head, then turned his head again to look at me.
“Hmm. It seems it is not as tasty as I thought. Ah. And Benefactor seems to have a misunderstanding. This small monk does not like eating blood. I just like the screams let out while bleeding. Hahaha.”
“That turned out well.”
After nodding, I unexpectedly unfolded movement arts towards the bastard.
“What I like most in the world is also the screams let out by trash.”
Looking at the flying Master’s Blade, the bastard burst into laughter saying he liked it again.
“Hahaha. This is truly. Then today, one of the two will likely have a very enjoyable experience.”
I thrust the Master’s Blade repeatedly towards the Blood Disaster.
The bastard dodged my offense stepping with footwork and looked for opportunities to dig in intermittently.
The Blood Disaster was empty-handed.
Furthermore, now there was no old man held hostage either.
It meant there was no need to give distance.
A distance where the blade edge touches but the bastard’s fist cannot reach.
To maintain this, I also moved my legs ceaselessly.
As if trying to create an opening, the bastard suddenly threw a double palm strike into the empty air.
Magnificent internal energy spews out along the bastard’s both palms.
While I unfolded the Moonlight Coiling Sword to create a Sword Screen and neutralize the palm wind. The Blood Disaster dug in unexpectedly.
Matching the moment the bastard dug in, I took one step to the right to open the distance.
The bastard twisted his body matching my movement and threw a fist.
The Fist Qi spewed along the bastard’s fist flew towards my face.
Matching that moment, I turned my head minimally and swung the Master’s Blade at the same time.
Clang!
Sparks flew in the air.
The bastard threw Fist Qi with his right fist and secretly flicked his finger with his left hand to shoot energy.
It seemed to be a mysterious Finger Art unique to the Potala Palace.
But it didn't mean much.
Whether the bastard shot palm wind, used Fist Qi, or secretly unfolded a Finger Art.
Because in my eyes, the internal energy flowing through the bastard’s body was all visible anyway.
After reading and countering the techniques the bastard tried to unfold a few times after that.
The bastard suddenly tilted his head to the side and said.
“Benefactor. What are those murderous demon-like red eyes?”
Did he feel some sign looking at my eyes dyed red?
Then the Blood Disaster, who expressed doubt, grinned again and spat out his own answer.
“Hehehe. It seems they are some wicked eyes. Following the Buddha’s teachings, I will personally pluck out those wicked eyes for you.”
The Blood Disaster shouted confidently as if he found some solution and rushed in.
I willingly shot Sword Qi towards the bastard’s eyes.
“I will pierce your perverted eyes first.”
The bastard shot back Fist Qi to neutralize the Sword Qi and dug straight into my bosom.
Naturally, I opened the distance matching this and swung the Master’s Blade repeatedly towards the bastard.
The bastard dodged narrowly and made a perverted smile.
“Haa. Imagining the scream Benefactor will let out when those eyes are plucked out, it seems it will be truly enjoyable.”
“I will tear that mouth apart first.”
The moment I thrust the Master’s Blade straight towards the bastard’s mouth. The bastard showed an absurd response.
The Blood Disaster threw a double palm strike facing the Master’s Blade.
Of course, the bastard’s double palms were full of energy.
It might be to block the sword using that energy like a kind of Qi Screen.
If it was a general case, it was a fairly useful response.
But the Master’s Blade was a different case.
A sword boasting overwhelming sharpness and strength. Even the Master’s Blade was covered in Sword Qi all the same.
When saving the old man, there was an event where the Master’s Blade and the bastard’s fist collided.
At that time, the bastard almost had his hand cut off entirely.
But to try again after already experiencing that?
While feeling incongruity, the Master’s Blade and the bastard’s double palms had already reached close range.
And the moment the blade edge was about to dig into the bastard’s palm. The bastard’s movement changed rapidly.
The bastard’s palm, which was wide open, bends and wraps around the Master’s Blade like a cloth.
As if unfolding a grappling technique.
Empty Hand seizing the White Blade. The bastard intended to grab the blade edge with bare hands.
Looking at the bastard with a very joyful face, I also grinned and laughed.
I will cut off all your fingers.
With that mindset, I poured internal energy wildly into the Master’s Blade.
In addition, I hurriedly turned my wrist to twist the blade.
So that the bastard’s fingers would face the blade edge, not the flat of the sword.
A split second. Matching my response, the bastard’s palm also twisted violently.
Can the bastard also see the trajectory in advance like me?
No. Just guessing.
Because the bastard was a genius comparable to Junior Sister Baek Hyang in addition to being a perverted murderous demon.
Subsequently, a bizarre scene entered my eyes.
The moment the energy fully gathered on the bastard’s palm and the Sword Qi on the Master’s Blade collided.
The energy gathered on the bastard’s palm spreads widely.
At the same time, the bastard’s both hands, which acted as if they would grab the sword, drew a circle smoothly.
Then the energy gathered on the bastard’s palm smoothly wrapped around the Master’s Blade.
It was a very familiar scene.
Sun Moon Infinite Sword Fourth Form. Moonlight Coiling Sword.
Belatedly, a cutting sound echoes.
Slash!
The Blood Disaster, whose palm was lightly cut, was laughing as if interested.
“This is true. It seems to be a slightly trickier technique than I thought. Hahaha.”
Unlike that bastard, I couldn't laugh.
It was all of unfolding it a couple of times during the battle.
But to copy it at once seeing that.
And he was mimicking what was unfolded with a sword almost identically with his hands.
I could tell intuitively.
That next time, that bastard would unfold it truly perfectly.
Then the laughing bastard unexpectedly threw a double palm strike.
Since I was already seeing the energy gathering in the bastard’s both hands with my eyes, I wasn't surprised by the surprise attack.
Expecting palm wind to fly, I unfolded the Moonlight Coiling Sword.
But what flew was not palm wind.
The energy gathered in the double palms divided into ten fingers each, and ten Finger Qis flew at once.
And drawing different trajectories each.
It was certain he mimicked the Sun Moon Infinite Sword Fifth Form. Illusionary Sun Myriad Changes.
I struck away some of the ten energies and dodged some by stepping with footwork.
In the meantime, the bastard was already digging in unfolding movement arts.
To maintain distance, I swung the Master’s Blade towards the bastard.
Countless trajectories cross in the air.
The bastard mimicked the technique of the Moonlight Coiling Sword again to flow the Master’s Blade with bare hands, and secretly shot energy to aim for my opening.
It wasn't just mimicking my technique.
Matching the moment I swing the Master’s Blade or step with footwork, the flow of internal energy flowing through the bastard’s body twists rapidly.
To deceive my eyes.
If ordinary guys operated internal energy in that way, they would inevitably suffer internal injuries.
But that bastard’s internal energy was flowing aloofly even in that rapid change.
Gradually, the distance with the bastard was narrowing.
Inside the blade edge. To a distance where the bastard’s fist touches.
This crazy bastard was continuously growing while fighting me.
