Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 294

<Episode 95: The Majesty of the Blood Horse (3)>

'ah!'

It is said that people who face death gain enlightenment.

Baek Hye-hyang, who had regained consciousness, circulated the energy within her body on her own without needing any help from Nana's Blood Demon Sword, and cleared all the blocked meridians.

Everyone was amazed by her gradually rising energy.

“Hey, hyung, this is…..”

“It’s breaking through the wall.”

On the border between life and death, she was pushing her limits.

A red haze burst out from Baek Hye-hyang's mind, which had lost even her vitality, and caused a whirlwind of energy.

This was a phenomenon that occurred when the Blood Heavenly Sword reached the 8th level.

The surprise was fleeting,

Soon, the rising energy of the Blood Heavenly Sword became calm and her energy became stable.

As soon as she stabilized, she opened her eyes.

The pale face regained its vitality.

“Congratulations, Vice-Chairman!”

“Congratulations!”

Everyone sang in unison to the congratulations of the first king of Ijon Nanmadodo, Seogalma.

You never know what people will do.

She was on the verge of death, but she came back to life and entered the realm of superhumans, which only the best martial artists in the world can achieve.

Baek Hye-hyang looked up at me.

And he said playfully in his characteristically raspy voice.

“I was just trying to get some rest, but you’re holding me back.”

“There’s still a long way to go. Can you give me a break?”

I also responded with a joke.

Baek Hye-hyang raised the corners of her mouth at my words.

Everyone's faces lit up with joy at the sight of her revived body.

Master Hae-ak-cheon said with a smile.

“Click click, there has never been a day as wonderful as today.”

“What Hae-hyung said is right. Hehehe. This old man has no more regrets.”

Baek Hye-hyang laughed at the two venerable men's words.

“It’s still a long way to go. Until the Martial Arts Federation is brought to its knees at the feet of our school, don’t even think about retiring.”

“Brother Seo may be like that, but don’t worry, this old man will keep his place until the children of the leader and vice-leader grow up. Hehe.”

“Three Lords…….”

I couldn't help but feel embarrassed by Master Hae-ak-cheon's words.

What do you mean, "baby" out of the blue?

Although I was attracted to Baek Hye-hyang, I had a fiancé named Sima Young.

And she seemed more suited to accomplishing great things than to being tied down to me.

She was the one who was more suited to the term 'woman warrior' than anyone else.

“The vice-principal has a lot to do. Let’s not even joke about such things…”

“Unhwi.”

She cut me off while I was saying this.

You call me by my name instead of my leader.

When I asked her what was wrong, she sat up and said,

“Do you know what I regret most before I die?”

“That…..”

At that moment, Baek Hye-hyang suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck and tried to kiss me on the lips.

Earlier, I was weak-hearted and gave in because I was on the verge of death, but not anymore.

I covered her lips with my hand like lightning.

“Ugh!”

“There are so many eyes watching you, don’t you have anything to be ashamed of?”

In response to my words, Baek Hye-hyang roughly shook my hand away and licked her tongue as she spoke.

“Be shy.”

'under!'

When I came to my senses, everything was back to normal.

She was a self-centered, opinionated woman.

I don't care at all about what other people think.

Even though the saints are watching.

“Click clap. It’s great to be young.”

Teacher, this is not something to laugh off.

Actually, from the beginning, it was my teacher who wanted me to marry Baek Hye-hyang or Baek Yeon-ha in order to thicken the Baekga bloodline.

However, he only kept his mouth shut after connecting with Sima Ying, the daughter of Sima Zhao, the Wolak Sword.

Baek Hye-hyang, who was licking her tongue, spoke to me.

“There was only one thing I regretted before I died. Not being able to have you, Jin Woon-Hwi.”

For a moment, I am speechless.

You openly reveal your feelings for me.

I was attracted to her too, but I had already decided to be with Sima Ying, so this is where we end up.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but we….”

“Up to there.”

“…….There really is nothing you can’t say to the cult leader.”

Even if she became a cult leader, the only person who could treat me like this is Baek Hye-hyang.

Baek Hye-hyang looked straight into my eyes and said.

“Put aside excuses like engagement and the Wolak Sword and just talk about this.”

"what?"

“Are you attracted to me?”

Her direct question left me speechless.

I was usually the type of person who could lie without even thinking about it.

I could have just said no, but looking into her eyes, it was hard to say those words.

-What's going on with a liar and a conman?

Sodamgeom laughed loudly.

I know.

It's funny to tell a lie.

When I thought that Baek Hye-hyang might die, my heart was torn apart.

From the moment I first saw her, I remembered the hardships and various things we had experienced together in Musou.

That's when I knew for sure.

I'm saying that I'm just as attracted to this woman as I am to Sima Ying.

“Don’t even think about lying. I can tell just by looking into your eyes.”

“………”

She is a woman who really goes straight ahead in everything.

I stared blankly at her, waiting for her answer. Then I took a deep breath and nodded.

“I’m attracted to it. But….”

“Okay. That answer is enough.”

"what?"

What's more important is the aftermath, so what's enough?

Baek Hye-hyang spoke to me in an excited voice that made her lips quiver.

“Whether we split it in half or share a bed together, that’s my problem with the child, so you stay out of it.”

'!?'

What did I just hear?

Split it in half?

Suddenly my head feels like it's going to hurt.

While I was feeling embarrassed, my teacher, Hae-ak-cheon, tapped my shoulder and laughed heartily as if he was having fun.

“Hahahahahaha.”

……..Isn't this your business?

Anyway, now that Baek Hye-hyang is alive, I have to deal with the remaining members of the Moorim Federation branches.

Since they have entered Yeongsan, which can be called the sanctuary of our church, these people must be punished without fail.

In addition to those who had climbed this mountain range, battles were also taking place on the opposite mountain range.

Since there are no high-level experts, the situation will not be as favorable as here.

“You, my lords, go to the opposite mountain range and support our followers.”

At my words, the teacher revealed his yellow teeth and spoke.

“There’s no need to worry about the other side, Leader.”

“What does that mean?”

“I’m not used to the left-handed one, but there’s a guy there who was the best in the school.”

'!!!'

no way?

A chill ran down my spine for a moment.

After hearing the news from Jo Seong-won, I naturally assumed that 'he' was dead.

-Sreung!

I pulled out my sword and threw it towards the opposite mountain range.

It was to check with Sodamgeom’s sight rather than going there directly.

Not long after flying away, the sight of Sodamgeom was shared in my head.

There, a completely unexpected being was swinging a sword with his left hand and leading the followers to fight against the sectarians.

'Ahhhh!'

My heart warmed when I saw him alive.

* * *

North of Guangxi Province.

The main force of the Palcheon Martial Arts Federation was moving south between Yeongbokhyeon and Yangsanhyeon.

They were the last group to arrive, and after two days of nonstop travel to join up with the advance party, they finally arrived here.

Now, if we hurry for about three days, we will reach Yeongsan.

However, the faces of the elders, including Baek Wi-hyang, the commander of the Samgunsa, who was leading them from the front, were filled with anticipation.

This was understandable, since they thought the war would be nearly over by the time they arrived.

The advance party included the leader of the martial arts world, Musangdo Jeongcheon.

He was a peerless master who could be counted among the top five superhumans.

On the other hand, the highest ranking blood cult leader, Iljon Pahyeolgeomje Dan-Gang, was killed by Salhyeong Jeolsim, and the life or death of the blood cult leader was unclear.

It was a situation where we had no choice but to declare victory.

“I was going down there for no reason, but isn’t the war over?”

The other sect leaders nodded in agreement to the words of Gao Jin, the head of the Buyang Sect, known as the largest sect in Anhui Province.

Perhaps the war would have broken out yesterday or today.

I thought it wouldn't take too long since it was a war between martial artists and not a battle between armies.

“It’s a shame. I thought that after twenty years, the blood of the Blood Cultists would be shed on this path, but it seems like they’re only cleaning up the leftovers.”

“Isn’t it a good thing to reduce the damage to the follow-up troops?”

“Hahaha. That’s true.”

The advance party consisted of the main force of the Martial Arts Federation.

If we could end the war without suffering any damage from this force, it would be a great achievement.

If that happens, it will even give them a justification to push back against the vice-chairmen and existing executives who opposed this war.

But not everyone was excited.

“Don’t let your guard down. The opponent is a blood cult. You never know what variables might arise.”

“Huh. Jo Dae-hyeop.”

He was Jo Cheong-un, the Hyeongsan Ilgeom who participated in the war as a representative of the Hyeongsan faction.

He is a skilled martial artist who can be counted among the top three among the veterans of the Martial Arts Federation and the main force of the Martial Arts Federation.

Some executives could not hide their displeasure at his words, which created an excited atmosphere.

Then, Baek Wi-hyang, the commander of the three armies leading the force, spoke in a proud voice.

“What Jo Dae-hyeop said is true. But how could Baek Mo and the leader have planned such a foolish strategy? The messenger announcing the victory should have arrived by now.”

“What the Baek military said makes sense. Didn’t he have the courage to plan a strategy that would deceive all of us? Let’s trust the leader and the Baek military in this punitive war.”

Peng Sa-yong, the 6th elder of the Martial Arts Federation and the head of the Habuk Peng family, intervened in those words.

At his helpful words, Baek Wi-hyang shrugged her shoulders.

Hyungsan Ilgeom Jo Cheong-un sighed and said.

“Military. What if the Blood Cult’s forces empty out Yeongsan?”

“That won’t happen.”

“I haven’t seen all the messengers sent from the Gaebang. They say that Shaolin’s Hundred and Eight Arhats were defeated by the Blood Demon.”

At Jo Cheong-un's words, Woo Bok-chang, the head of the Paejeolmun clan, smiled and said.

“No. Do you really believe that, Jo Daehyeop? That Shaolin’s 108 Arhats were destroyed by a single awakening from the Blood Demon Lord’s Rimbo or something?”

His words were received by Gojin Bang, the head of the Buyangbang.

“Even if the current leader steps forward, it is impossible. I can’t understand how such absurd information could be sent from Gaebo.”

Everyone nodded at those words.

When they heard the news, everyone was more shocked than shocked.

It was because the realism was so lacking.

It would be understandable if it were said that the 108 Arhat formations collapsed after competing for dozens of seconds, but it would be nonsense.

“Aren’t you being too distrustful of the information?”

Jinju Eonga's head of household, Ungwangwoon, listened quietly and then interjected.

He also thought that the information sent this time from Gaebang was exaggerated, but he judged that sending such a messenger was equivalent to showing inaction.

At this, the commander of the three armies, Baek Wi-hyang, smiled and said.

“It’s a blood cult strategy. In the current situation, they don’t have the capacity to wage war. Naturally, we have to disperse our forces.”

Jo Cheong-woon asked with a frown.

“So, does that mean that the person who invaded Shaolin Temple was not the leader of the blood cult?”

“That is my military opinion. I have already confirmed several times through the messengers sent to the council that the Blood Sect Leader is in critical condition due to injuries sustained from the Fearful Sword. Why would he show up in Shaolin? It is absurd…”

It was at that moment.

Someone pointed ahead and shouted.

“Military. Look over there.”

From a distance, I saw someone running towards me, performing light moves.

The person approaching had a small note stuck on his back and was wearing the uniform of the Martial Arts Federation, so he seemed to be a messenger.

Everyone couldn't hide their wonder.

Military leader Baek Wi-hyang raised his hand to stop the advance.

“Look. Didn’t the soldier say that the news of victory would come soon?”

“Hahaha. This makes Cho Daehyeop’s worries seem meaningless.”

They firmly believed that the messenger had arrived to announce victory.

However, everyone couldn't help but frown at the behavior of the messenger who finally arrived.

'what?'

The messenger's attire was completely covered in blood.

Military officer Baek Wi-hyang asked, feeling that something was strange.

“What on earth is going on?”

At that question, the messenger took a deep breath and said.

“Military! The leader has passed away.”

'!!!'

Everyone was taken aback by the messenger's completely unexpected report.

“The leader is passing away?”

“What the heck is this…..”

Most, with a few exceptions, were confident of the vanguard's victory.

But then came the sad news that the leader had died.

The excited military leader Baek Wi-hyang got off his horse and approached the messenger, urging him.

“What nonsense is that! Who can harm the leader?”

“It’s the Blood Horse. The best masters and the leader of the branch were killed by the Blood Horse.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

The shock was so great that Military Officer Baek Wi-hyang lost all strength in his legs and staggered.

I was confident of victory in this war.

Didn't the leader Mu Sang-do Jeongcheon, who was overwhelming in power and was no exaggeration to say the best, personally step forward as the vanguard?

The staggering military leader Baek Wi-hyang denied reality.

“That can’t be. If that’s the case, then the Blood Demon’s inaction surpassed that of the leader, so how could that happen? There’s something wrong with you….”

At that moment, the messenger took out a bundle of something he had been carrying on his back.

It was a red, damp bundle.

"this?"

“I brought it because I thought you might not believe me.”

“What are you bringing?”

“This is the head of the Maengju Musangdo Jeongcheon.”

"what?"

As the messenger opened the bundle, a severed head with its eyes wide open and its tongue hanging out appeared.

All the leaders of the martial arts federation at the forefront were shocked by this sight.

Who would have thought that we would see the supply of the free-spirited Jeongcheon right before our eyes?

“Every…..leader……”

The military Baekwihyang was in utter confusion.

In the meantime, he was curious.

'How can this guy get the leader's head?'

He raised his head from the head of the leader and looked at the messenger.

The face of the messenger who had escaped from the asura and came to report the battle situation was so clean without a single scratch.

Unlike the blood-stained outfit.

-Creepy!

At that moment, military officer Baek Wi-hyang felt goosebumps all over his body.

'This guy…now?'

His eyes were smiling as if he was enjoying this reaction.

-Sreung!

Without time to think, Military Baek Wi-hyang trusted his own judgment and drew his sword, aiming at the messenger's neck.

But before the sword could reach his neck, it was caught by the messenger's index and middle fingers.

-window!

'Huh?'

It was so embarrassing.

A messenger like me can take hold of his own sword.

“You…who are you?”

The messenger raised the corners of his mouth and said in response to his question.

“Is this the person who cut off this neck?”

'!!!'
