Chapter 93

Byeok Tae-san looked down at the person who was lying facedown right in front of him.

It turned out to be Dongho Pyo Guk, who had been called in by him during the pilgrimage and ended up running straight towards here.

Right now, he was bathing in a cold sweat.

As soon as he saw Tae-san, he fell flat on his face without even realizing it, and after that, he refrained from saying another word. He simply just sweated.

“Hm, you seem to know that you’ve done something wrong.”

“Kill me!” Dongho Pyo Guk exclaimed. However, Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly.

“You’ve been living outside for a long time. Seeing you say things like that…”

The people of Cheonma Protestantism never said that. That was because it was one of the words that the Heavenly Demon really hated.

If one had done something under the intention of dying for it, then they would definitely end up killing themselves. However, if they were careful enough not to make a mistake, then they could save themselves.

This was solely the right of the heavenly demon that ruled over them. In addition to this, he shouldn’t let his own death come so easily, for it was far better to beg to continue on living.

After all, wasn’t one supposed to be faithful in life?

“If you want to die, fight the enemy before you do. Don’t just ask me to kill you.”

At this, Dongho Pyo Gukju trembled. “Ah, ah…! I will fight and die!”

Upon hearing this, Byeok Tae-san smiled and nodded. “Okay, that’s all I needed to hear. Get up, now.”

Dongho relaxed upon hearing this. He then proceeded to look up at Tae-san with a bewildered expression on his face. Honestly, this was the first time he had experienced this.

For the first time ever, he had been crushed by the momentum of Byeok Tae-san himself.

Sure, he had experienced being crushed by momentums before, but this was the first time he had fallen over unconsciously whilst shedding cold, nervous sweat in this manner.

“Never again attempt or plan anything related to me without my discretion.”

“I would never!” Dongho shook his head as he answered in a loud voice.

“Have you united the Black Swords?”

“I have. However, they’re not a place that has really built a proper breakwater. Rather, they’re much closer to a back-alley warp.”

Of course, among them were those who had mastered their respective martial arts, and there were also organizations that had managed to establish quite a bit of their power.

Some of them had even managed to create and operate plausible breakwaters. However, they were still lacking in the real Moorimbangpa.

Despite this, however, it would still be beneficial to integrate them all.

“Is there anything strange about it?”

He was still trying to absorb information about Cheon Geum-ryeon, expecting those strange people to be behind this scheme. Right now, Haomen and Chen Chuxin’s disciples were working hard to suck up information at will, so sooner or later, the truth would eventually be revealed.

If they were really going to do anything in Wuhan, they wouldn’t have left the Black Sword alone in the first place.

The group of black swords that Dongho Pyo Guk had integrated were the very ones that could be used in a variety of alternatives that could suit there tastes.

Those who had mastered martial arts were given a potion that unlocked their true potentials, and those who had not yet mastered martial arts could still be matured and used to make bangangsi.

And so, there was a high possibility that he had done something to the black sword while shaking the Cheon Geum-ryeon from behind.

Dongho Pyo Guk swallowed as he maintained a head-on stare with Tae-san, whose own gaze never wavered. The pressure was insurmountable.

“Once we integrated, nothing really happened.”

“Okay?”

“But after the integration, I heard some strange things from the Black Swordsmen.”

Tae-san’s eyes inevitably lit up with interest.

“It is said that there’s a medicine that could boost one’s power tenfold.”

That would be the drug. A terrifying smile formed on the corner of Tae-san’s lips. “That’s fun, please elaborate further.”

“That’s all I heard. So far there’re only rumors circulating about it, and no drugs actually appeared, so I cannot confirm the truth just yet.”

It seemed that the drug had not spread to the Black Swords thanks to the timely integration of Dongho Marksuk. Perhaps they had been trying to use the drugs as bait in order to attract the Black Swords.

‘It seems a little different from what they’ve done to the enemies, though?’

From the looks of it, this one seemed to be approaching them very cautiously, unlike the ones that had drawn in the enemies in the first place.

Tae-san’s lips rose slightly. “So, this means that…. It could be a tail.”

After muttering this, Tae-san turned to Dongho Pyo Guk. “You.”

“Y-Yes…?”

“Will they leave you untouched by the Black Sword? Will you be able to handle this on your own?”

Dongho’s nationalistic expression hardened at this question. He bowed down and answered promptly, “Of course!”

The bitter gourd went to the Nangin market alongside the Black Moon Sword.

Their exact destination was actually not Nangin Market, however, but Giru, which was only a little further away. In advance, they had made an appointment with each of the head districts of Nangin, advising them to meet up at Giru.

There was no further need to fight, or use force to eat up Nangin Market. All the district leaders had to do was swallow it.

Today, ten district leaders would swear an oath of allegiance to him there.

Behind the Wisteria Leaf and the Black Moon Sword, ten warriors were following close behind. These were warriors that had been brought from Cheon Geum-ryeon.

Naturally, they were the ones whose potentials had burst through the Jeunghyeoldan. The samurai belonging to Cheon Geum-ryeon were too low-level to just use them.

Moreover, if any of the district leaders who would come today brought a subordinate with them, then they must show them their overwhelming power.

It would be far better if they knew how great of a drug the Jeunghyeoldan actually was.

After arriving at Giru, Rattan Yeop headed to the annex under the guidance of the courtesans. He had decided to write an annex in the possible event that there might be a commotion.

Ten commanders had already arrived at the annex and were waiting for the stirrups. There was a small pavilion in a fairly large garden, and around the pavilion, there were guards that were strategically scattered in all directions.

Again, it seemed like he did a good job at bringing in the warriors from Cheon Geum-ryeon.

He then entered the front hall with only the Black Moon Sword.

The Cheon Geum-ryeon samurai then stood, as if they were surrounded by a wide range of people. There was apparent tension in every eye.

Meanwhile, Wisteria slightly raised the corners of her mouth. There were ten district managers sitting on the second floor, each one wearing a nervous expression.

There were no prostitutes. he had told them in advance to not let anyone in until later.

If the story went well here, a bunch of high-class prostitutes would definitely come and make it a fun night. However, if it didn’t work out, then the smell of blood would definitely be an evident scent.

Of course, he was not going to kill the district leaders. However, he was just making super corpses to the point where he felt like he was dying this time around.

Seo Do-gun suddenly came to mind as he looked around the district leaders. With this, Do-gun decided to clear up the Heukdo side.

It was probably moving by now.

No matter how much you used Cheon Geum-ryeon to turn the gazes of Moorimmaeng, Heukryeon, Namgungse, and Zhugeulse a little, that time would never prove to be long.

Moreover, if one were to move in earnest now, you would definitely get caught faster. However, the wisteria was not at all concerned.

It was Seo Do-gun’s side that ended up finding out. Considering Seo Do-kun’s disposition, there was a high possibility that he would be able to handle things, albeit in a very loud manner.

Of course, with sufficient focus, one could still quietly eat the entire Nangin market.

Although the group of Black Swords was highly coveted, it was nothing compared to the Nangin market. The scale of the Nangin Market proved to be much larger, and it was easy to use and acquire if only the district heads were truly in control.

Seo Do-kun, meanwhile, had brought a significant amount of heunghyeoldan.

The Blood gang, which was his part, had been stored at the Uichang base. However, there was almost nothing left as it was robbed.

And so, he took a considerable amount of the Blood gang from Go Jun-kwang’s share. He said that he would strengthen the power of the Black Sword gang, so he gladly gave it to him.

Even though the synergist group exploded their potential and increased their strength in an instant, those who ate it alone could not pay for their allegiance

To control them at will, you must break your will at least once.

You had to make it go all the way down to the bottom, not just bend it.

Then, if you were to feed the Jeunghyeoldan, it would harmonize with the unique action of the Jeunghyeoldan, and then proceeded to follow the person who had broken his will.

However, after that, no matter how strong a person were to press it, it wouldn’t change its owner because of the fear that had been engraved in the first place.

It was a very effective rule of thumb. In addition to this, even the person who created the jeunghyeoldan didn’t know that it would have such an effect. This effect had been discovered by chance.

So, wasn’t it a very suitable method for a group of Black Swords?

Seo Do-kun would do that part much better compared to anyone else.

In addition to this, he would definitely be able to embrace the gaze of the great forces in infinity by himself.

The bitter gourd then shook off his thoughts and sat down in front of the district leaders. Behind him was a Black Moon sword, forged as fierce as a single sword, stood.

The eyes of the district leaders had touched the Black Moon Sword for a moment, and then swallowed their saliva, eventually returning to normal.

“Thank you for coming out here, you probably won’t regret it.”

At the words of the bitter gourd, the head of the second district suddenly spoke up, “Anyone can say that. Aren’t you supposed to reveal who you are first?”

“Ah, that’s such a disgrace. It’s called bitter gourd.”

The head of the work district made a succinct impression. “Did I say something like that in order to get your name?”

The rattlesnake tilted her head at this. “What does it matter? Wouldn’t it be more important as to what you can achieve in the future, as well as what kind of destiny you’ll eventually head towards?”

The foreman smirked at this at first, but he eventually nodded.

“Okay, what can we get?”

The bitter gourd then pulled out a blood purifier from his bosom and placed it gently on the table. “This is called the Giant Goddess.”

“Giant Goddess?”

“Eating it gave me ten times as much strength as usual.”

Everyone’s eyes widened at the word tenfold. “What nonsense…!”

The Wisteria Leaf smiled brightly as if she knew that this would be the case. “The people I brought outside, do you know where they all came from?”

The head of the first district one then turned to his head to look at the chief of district ten. Then, the head of the tenth district frowned, got up from his seat, went out, and then came back in.

When he returned, his expression had become a little strange. “Are they from Cheon Geum-ryeon?”

The rattlesnake smiled brightly. “Yes. If you do, you’ll be well aware of the level of the warriors from Cheon Geumnyeon, right?”

“What… aren’t they chaffs?”

“Originally, yes. But if you were to eat the Giant Goddess, things would be different.”

At that moment, things outside started getting noisier. The sound of weapons clashing, shouting, and screaming harmonized.

In addition to this, the stench of blood began to rush inside. “Do you want to see the results?”

Everyone stared at the Wisteria Leaf with a firm expression. However, deep in their eyes, there was quite a deep fear situated within those irises.

The people who were guarding this place were as talented as the people who picked them up. Their number was at sixty.

However, with only ten people, they were defeated by the Cheon Geum-ryeon samurai.

The bitter gourd wanted to confirm the results with them. The Black Moon Sword then moved and opened all the doors behind the cotyledon.

One wall consisted of only doors, so once all doors were open, the garden view proved to be a beautiful sight.

It had originally been built for that purpose. In the garden, ten Cheon Geum-ryeon warriors stood side by side.

In addition to this, the corpses of sixty gu were scattered everywhere. Not a single one escaped.

Seeing the blood and corpse directly, the fear situated in the eyes of the district chiefs increased. Seeing this, the bitter gourd’s lip curled up.

‘My will has been broken.’

Now they just had to throw your broken will down to the floor. After that, he would feed them to the Blood group.

The rattlesnake then spoke with a smile. “We will rule infinity. You, too, can be a part of it.”

As soon as the words fell, the Black Moon Sword behind him released his momentum.

Aww!

The district leaders then looked at the Black Moon Sword with an astonished expression upon feeling the exerted pressure on their bodies.

It was an opponent that could not be defeated.

Even if all ten people here attacked, no, it would be an impossible opponent, even if they were to bring all the people in the Nangin Market.

Upon seeing this, the Wisteria’s smile deepened even more.

‘Finally… I’m stuck on the floor.’

Now, he just needed to feed the Jeunghyeoldan and now it was over. That was, until the chief of the sixth section slowly got up.

“Some people say they hit the players, but you’re the ones that Confucius told me about.”

The rest of the district leaders looked up at him blankly. Everyone was wondering as to why he was acting so crazily.

However, the bitter Sword that faced the chief, did not do this at all. However, there was tension in both of their eyes.

“Huh. There must be people hiding in the Nangin Market,” Stirrup said as he signalled in a backwards motion. This was to bring in the warriors who were situated outside.

However, no one came. The reason for this was said by the head of the Yuk District, as well as Taegu Yuk.

“I also brought two kids.”

Wisteria turned her head with a puzzled look as she gazed down at the garden. Ten Cheon Geum-ryeon warriors were lying on the floor. There were also two ordinary-looking men walking around.

Apparently, the bitter gourd tested Yuk Tae-goo’s ability. He couldn’t figure it out at all. He seemed to have a special ability to hide his skills.

‘I’m a little nervous, but…’

Still, there was a Black Moon Sword around here. In addition to this, he himself was on the level of the Moon Swords.

If one had tea, then they could definitely eat up the Jeunghyeoldan. Not himself, but the Black Moon Sword.

‘The effect will be a little less, but it doesn’t matter.’

Since the Black Moon Sword was not an ordinary warrior, but the effectiveness of the Blood Squadron was slightly lower. However, it was only okay because it would be at least three times stronger.

However, fighting with the author here would probably cause a great commotion.

“If this happens, the plan will go awry…”

His plan to acquire the Nangin Market was slowly going awry. Stirrup looked at Yuk Tae-goo silently.

“Where the hell did that guy from?”

It wasn’t even a secret; he was the leader of a secret force. However, they had not yet obtained any information that such a force existed in Wuhan.

“This is annoying.”

At that moment, the Black Moon Sword rushed towards Yuk Tae-gu. He slashed at Tae-gu’s head with a sword that was packed with immense power.

Aww!

Yuk Tae-gu blocked this, and immediately went to counterattack. In the meantime, Stirrup threw nine daggers towards the nine district chiefs.

Puff!

The daggers were surprisingly fast and accurate. The ninth head district ended up dying without a dagger digging itself into his forehead.

Yuk Tae-gu didn’t even care as he drove towards the Black Moon Sword.

The Black Moon Sword was then pushed out mindlessly. Blood splattered all over his body with a loud, popping sound.

The skill gap between the two of them was too great.

The bitter gourd then threw a dagger at Yuk Tae-gu and shouted, “Eat this!”

Wow!

In the short gap between Yuk Tae-gu’s dagger, the Black Moon Sword ate up the Jeunghyeoldan.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Tae-gu merely laughed as he looked at the Black Moon Sword, which was wild and exuded a huge burst of energy. Then, he pulled out a small, black marble from his bosom.

“Don’t tell me you don’t know what this is?”
