Chapter 143 : Their Respective Circumstances, Yoo Soo-ah's Story (1)
As soon as I arrived at Shaolin Temple, I was dragged inside.
The leaders of the Righteous Faction were staring at me with bright eyes.
It's a bit rude to think this way about people who are old, but they looked like puppies who needed to go.
'I feel like if I say 'hand', they'll all offer me their hands.'
I exercised my patience as much as possible and brought up another topic.
The reason they were eagerly waiting for me was probably related to the meeting this time.
"So, the meeting didn't go well?"
The meeting was originally destined to end in failure. With most of the people here dying. In other words, the fact that they were alive meant that the meeting had ended very successfully.
Although it didn't seem that way to them.
"Well, listen carefully."
The Divine Monk, who calmly started speaking, his words became more and more impassioned as he spoke.
"...And so it happened!"
I summarized the Divine Monk's words in one line.
"So, you want to absorb the weakened forces of the New Rising Five Families due to the internal conflict, but you're hesitating because of the sudden appearance of a third force of the Chaotic Heavenly Society. Is that it?"
"That's right!"
I came to understand how the Dragon Emperor had eaten the Righteous Faction before my regression.
'So he had wiped out both the New Rising Five Families and the Righteous Alliance at the Righteous Faction meeting.'
He couldn't do that this time.
The reason was probably because of my intervention.
In other words, this meant that the Sword Empress and the Rakshasa Divine Maiden had done their job properly.
For now, the current situation is that an internal conflict has arisen between the Dragon Emperor and the head of the Uiji Family, Uiji-ryong...
'Is Uiji-ryong such an outstanding person?'
The third force of the Chaotic Heavenly Society that appeared behind him, wearing a pig mask.
I didn't think deeply about this side. Because my junior sister would wipe them out anyway.
I focused on the New Rising Five Families.
And the fact that a Chaotic Heavenly Society that was not related to the Righteous Alliance had appeared meant that there was surely a guy in the New Rising Five Families who was in cahoots with the Chaotic Heavenly Society.
And I guessed that that guy was either the Dragon Emperor or Uiji-ryong.
When the conclusion came to this, this matter would also be resolved if I just passed it on to my junior sister.
In other words, if I just meet my junior sister, I can cast off all the yokes and bonds of this world and leave in search of happiness.
I answered simply and clearly.
Because if it was a matter related to the Chaotic Heavenly Society, it had become very simple.
"Leave the Chaotic Heavenly Society to me. Do whatever you want with the New Rising Five Families. Got it?"
"Oh! As expected of the Sword Emperor!"
"Alright!"
"Damn it! I believed in you!"
The hearty exclamations of admiration from the leaders of the Righteous Faction towards me felt like a tribute to me, who would soon be sucking honey.
Returning to my room, I quickly wrote a letter and tied it to the end of Baek-ah's tail.
"You have to deliver this to the Brain Demon. Got it?"
"Shasha!"
Baek-ah, who was in a very good mood to have been given his mission after a long time, buried his head in the ground and disappeared.
Perhaps that guy was a worm, not a snake, in his past life.
The content of the letter was as follows.
[I'll be stopping by the Divine Cult to see my junior sister, so please set up a time as quickly as possible.]
Hehe. If I just meet my junior sister, it's all over!
Perhaps because I was lying on a soft bed in the Central Plains after a long time, I felt sleepy.
'This is the taste.'
How long has it been since I've felt a nap?
The sweetest of sleeps is a light doze in the afternoon.
I hadn't been able to achieve it even once in the past few years due to the pressure of my sunfish life and the Chaotic Heavenly Society, so I forced myself to hold back my tears and closed my eyes.
Just before my mind completely fell asleep, the door opened with a creak.
I looked at the person who had woken me up.
There were a total of three people.
One was the Rakshasa Divine Maiden.
"Sword Emperor. I have fulfilled your request."
Another was the Sword Empress.
"Child. I have something I want to ask."
The last one was the Medicine Saint.
"Let me see your body."
I forced a smile on my face.
Yes, yes. It's before I've completely untangled the twisted thread of fate.
This can happen. Of course!
I shook off my disappointment at the completely gone sleep and got up from the bed.
"Come in one by one."
＊
After Baek-ah left for the Divine Cult, I continued a rather busy life.
When I wake up in the morning, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden comes to visit.
"Is there anything else you want to ask for?"
The kid shows a scary obsession when she gets hooked on one thing. I said.
"No. There isn't."
"Alright."
A moment later, the Sword Empress would come to visit.
"I ask of you."
"Yes."
The Sword Empress couldn't finish as simply as the Rakshasa Divine Maiden. These days, the Sword Empress seemed to be seriously contemplating about martial arts.
So I introduced the Sword Empress to a friend with whom she could discuss martial arts.
"Braha said so. That by restricting oneself, one uses the yin power that comes as a backlash. He said that's condition and fulfillment."
I don't know what he's talking about, but I nodded. Because the Sword Empress, who I had introduced to a new friend named Braha, only bothered me once a day, at this time, and didn't bother me anymore.
"I've thought about this kind of restriction, please evaluate it yourself."
"Yes. Come in."
Fortunately, the Sword Empress had a martial arts contest just once and then left, saying that she needed to polish it a little more.
Now there was only one task left. I went to the Medicine Saint and was examined for various things.
The Medicine Saint no longer told me to have an open-stomach surgery.
"This can't be, this shouldn't be, but it's true!"
Leaving the Medicine Saint, who was talking to himself, I came out and looked up at the sky.
The clear and blue sky seemed to be blessing my complete liberation that would soon come.
Just then.
`
"Shasha!"
A shiny bald head breaking through the floor.
A new letter was tied to Baek-ah's tail.
"You're here!"
I extended my hand towards Baek-ah and had a full smile on my face.
"Shasha!"
The day of liberation from all this was just around the corner.
＊
Yoo Soo-ah was now on the mountainside of a certain mountain.
She had matured quite a bit in the past few years.
"This is the last task."
Next to her stood a man who resembled a rat.
The second elder of the Divine Cult and the former leader of the Heavenly Demon Guardian Squad.
And the Heavenly Lord of White Heaven, Baekseo, who had been infiltrating the Divine Cult for a long time.
"Mister, if I just take care of that, can I become stronger?"
"Yes. The Young Leader will no longer lose anyone."
All this time, Yoo Soo-ah had fought numerous battles as Baekseo had said.
Through those battles, Yoo Soo-ah could feel that she had also become stronger quickly.
In the basin in front of her, there were numerous corpses.
In the center of it, a single man was standing, bleeding profusely.
Looking closely, the man was not bleeding a single drop. It was all someone else's.
Yoo Soo-ah went down into the basin. The man turns around at the presence.
"Huh? I thought it was Jae-ha because the qi wave was strong, but it's not. You, what's your relationship with Jae-ha?"
At the brightly asked question, Yoo Soo-ah's heart ached as if it would burst.
"Don't you dare mention that name in front of me."
"Huh? Who are you to order me? I don't listen to those who are weaker than me. You, are you stronger than me?"
"The young leader of the Blood Cult, Cheonsalso-gaek Soma, right?"
"How did you know my name? Ah! You've come to kill me too!"
Without answering, Yoo Soo-ah kicked off the ground.
Soma, seeing that, smiled brightly.
"Hehe! Let's fight!"
In a place unknown to anyone, a fight between the geniuses of the century was about to unfold.
＊
Heavenly Dragon Sacred Bones.
A constitution named after being born with the senses and body of a dragon.
That bone was as hard as a dragon's bone, and the blood vessels and muscles that made it up surpassed those of a human.
Yoo Soo-ah's lightly extended fist contained enough great power to pierce a huge stone wall.
Heavenly Killing Star.
A constitution that emits an infinite killing intent that is by no means inferior to the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Bones.
From the other side, Soma extended his arm as well.
Boom!
With a roar, Soma was thrown back.
In the first power struggle, the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Bones had slightly surpassed the Heavenly Killing Star.
"You, you're pretty strong, aren't you?"
However, the reason why the Heavenly Killing Star was called the Heavenly Killing Star was not simply because of its body that carried killing intent.
Soma's arm, which had been twisted by the impact, was quickly recovering.
To be more precise, the blood from the surroundings was being absorbed into Soma's arm.
Soma, who had recovered in an instant, turns his arm this way and that.
Grinning, he kicks off the ground first, and then extends his arm just like before.
Yoo Soo-ah carefully extended the hand she had been gathering in front of her chest. It was very similar to a technique she had seen from someone before.
Twin Poles, Three-Legged Crow.
"It's Jae-ha's technique! As expected, you know Jae-ha! Where is Jae-ha?"
Even though he had received a greater impact than before, Soma's arm was fine this time.
"I don't fall for a technique I've seen once."
Yoo Soo-ah immediately drew the sword hanging at her waist. And feeling the nausea that momentarily washed over her, she swung the sword as it was.
Reversal of Heaven.
Soma, feeling the pressure crushing his whole body, also swung the sword hanging at his side widely.
A blood-red powerful qi was emitted towards the front, and it offset Yoo Soo-ah's sword strike as it was.
"I told you before. I don't fall for a technique I've seen once. Is this all? You're no fun. Hurry up and bring Jae-ha."
"...Don't."
"Huh?"
"I said don't say it. How dare you mention my senior brother's name!"
"I don't want to."
At that moment, Yoo Soo-ah's time flowed quickly. On the other hand, the world's time flowed slowly.
And Yoo Soo-ah's hair seemed to have grown a little longer.
Swish.
Yoo Soo-ah kicked off the ground. Soma was still smiling brightly and standing still. To be more precise, all the sights Yoo Soo-ah was seeing now were stopped.
Slice!
Soma's stopped time began to flow normally again.
"Huh?"
Soma looked down at the pain in his chest, and his chest was greatly cut.
"What's this?"
A huge amount of blood poured out from there. Yoo Soo-ah looked down arrogantly at Soma, who had fallen to his knees.
Yoo Soo-ah, with her sword on such a Soma's neck, said.
"Any last words?"
"Hehe. You're pretty fun, aren't you?"
Yoo Soo-ah felt no value in listening to Soma's words anymore. She put strength into her sword and swung it as it was.
Screech!
The sword was blocked by something and was not moving forward anymore.
"If you wanted to kill me, you should have cut my neck right away."
A red energy was interfering with the advance of Yoo Soo-ah's sword.
-Tell me what you want.
Soma heard the whisper of the Heavenly Killing Star.
-Power.
All this time, Soma had learned how to use the Heavenly Killing Star from the Blood Demon. The sinners here were one of the processes of learning how to use it.
In the past, Soma had gained power at the cost of his own life. That was the worst move Soma could make.
The Heavenly Killing Star was not originally used like that.
-The price?
-The hundreds of corpses that have died here, I offer their resentful souls.
-Hehe. It's been a long time since I've had a feast. The deal is done.
Roar.
Soma felt the power filling him.
At this moment, it felt like he could do anything.
However, this was not a power that could be used indefinitely.
If the power that the body could allow was exceeded, the body would not be able to handle it and would explode.
The reason why most of the Heavenly Killing Stars had died was for this very reason.
Addiction to power.
Soma's eyes were stained red. Soon, his pupils changed to be slender. Yoo Soo-ah, at Soma's change, momentarily performed the Reversal of Heaven.
Slice!
Soma, looking at Yoo Soo-ah, whose front was stained with blood, grinned and opened his mouth.
"Is this all? Bring Jae-ha.”
Blink.
Yoo Soo-ah closes and opens her eyes.
A change also occurred in her pupils.
The character for return (回).
"I thought I told you not to mention that name?"
Time accelerated.
