Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 313

<Episode 101: Threat (1)>

“It’s been a while. Descendants of the Sword.”

The golden light beyond the black cotton cloth visible as the bamboo stick is lifted.

I was momentarily speechless by the tone of voice and the golden eyes that seemed to confirm that I was a descendant of the Sword Master.

The man who had tried to take away the sword at that time spoke in surprise.

“This person is a descendant of Geomseon?”

“Even if the faces are different, they are clearly visible to these eyes.”

The bastard's golden gaze was staring straight at me like an eagle's eyes.

-What the hell is going on? How did you recognize me?

Sodamgeom's question made my head spin in a complicated way.

Even if you cover it with black cotton, you can't completely hide your face by lifting the bamboo hat.

There is only one person with two golden eyes that I know of.

But the face that was faintly visible was not that person.

-You're saying it's not Seo Bok or something?

no.

There is a high probability that it is a human face mask.

Seo Bok is the only one who has achieved perfect immortality, so both of his eyes are golden.

It is highly likely that he also used a face mask.

-That guy, who is said to be the best, might have achieved complete immortality.

If that were true, it would be the worst case scenario, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

If they had achieved perfect immortality, there would have been no reason to aim for the Four-Legend Sword in the first place, and there was no way they would treat the one with those two golden eyes so comfortably.

Also, when I first met him, Geumsangje did not receive any treatment for Geumsangjiche.

That's why you can't see me with your golden eyes.

At that time, the only person who saw me with golden eyes was Seo Bok, who was serving under the Golden Emperor.

-Huh? But why are you with them?

There must be two.

One is that his relationship with Geumsangje was restored and he began to serve him.

-What about the other one?

The magic poison.

-Hwanma poison?

Seolbaek said that because the bloodline leader died, there was a shortage of magic poison for the Great Plan.

When I heard this, the first thing that came to my mind was that Geum Sang-je was trying to brainwash countless people in the martial arts world with the magic poison.

The key at this time was to what extent the magic poison could work on the masters.

Even if you reach the peak or the ultimate state, you can dispel most poisonous intrusions with your internal energy.

However, if the magic poison could brainwash even those who had reached the realm of superhumans, it could be considered the worst variable.

'It's even worse if it's a magic poison.'

It would have been better to have gone back under the command of the Golden Emperor.

I think it would be better to just leave.

I looked at the guy and opened my mouth.

“Seobok.”

At my words, the golden-eyed bamboo man did not even flinch.

Not emotionally shaken at all.

Instead, he spoke to me leisurely.

“You recognize me, after all. A descendant of the Sword Master.”

“Because you, Seo Bok, are the only one who has achieved perfect immortality.”

At those words, the golden eyes of the bamboo man, presumably Seo Bok, narrowed.

Are you showing emotional agitation?

Then you can't miss this opportunity.

“As far as I know, Seo Bok, you ran away from the Emperor because you disobeyed his will. So why are you with these people?”

At my words, the man next to me, who was not Seo Bok but Jukripin, took a stance with his sword as if to restrain me.

“Don’t even think about it. He is a descendant of the Sword Master. The military is his loyal subordinate. He will not fall for your slander.”

Gunbang (君房) is Seo Bok's nickname.

The situation is ambiguous based on that person's answer alone.

I guess I'll have to do a little more induction.

“Seobok. You disobeyed even Qin Shi Huang and even the Emperor of Jin. Then, you also know that this is not right…”

Before the words could even be finished.

-Shoot!

The bamboo man who was taking the jockey's stance quickly extended his sword to me.

He's a decent guy, but he's no match for me.

I struck his sword with my swordsmanship sword and broke it at the same time.

-Chaenggang!

“Huh?”

And then I tried to stab him between the eyebrows in one breath.

-Chae-Ang!

My sword was struck down by the bamboo man on the right side of the person who was presumed to be Seo Bok like lightning.

I applied force to the sword that bounced off and unleashed a sword strike, but Jukripin also unleashed a sword strike and blocked the sword strike I swung with minimal movement.

-Chachachachachachacha!

'Block everything?'

I couldn't help but be amazed at this guy's swordsmanship skills.

I've seen many masters in my time, but this is the first time I've seen someone with such a clean swordsmanship.

Even the aerodynamics were unusual.

'Who the hell are you?'

Unless special screening was performed and the bamboo sap was removed, it would be impossible to identify it.

“Fuck!”

In that gap, the man who was almost hit by me retreated about five steps back.

I'm sure he knew for sure that he was no match for you.

The bamboo man who blocked my sword spoke in a distorted voice.

“If you are truly a descendant of the Sword Master, you probably haven’t demonstrated your skills properly.”

“I think it’s the same for you too.”

Jukripin didn't respond to my words.

I was being as careful with my words as possible.

If you do that, I'll have to make you take off that bamboo hat.

It was when I was about to use my hand.

“Now it is certain.”

Someone who seemed to be Seo Bok spoke to me.

What has become certain?

“How could you, a descendant of the Sword Master, know that I did not understand his true intentions and did not follow him or run away?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Not many people know that I was running away.”

Then he spoke to me in a meaningful voice.

“So Yun-hui.”

'!?'

I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a moment by those words.

They say he saw through my energy with his golden eyes, but since my face changed with his body transformation technique, they still thought they couldn't know my true identity for sure.

My heart was pounding.

The man with the bamboo hat, who was presumed to be Seo Bok, snorted and said, noticing the brief moment of disturbance.

“That’s right. It had something to do with So Woon-Hwi.”

'huh?'

What does this mean?

Have you figured out my identity for sure?

The guy continued talking.

“Are you surprised? You got your tail stepped on.”

I responded to his words with a dismissive tone.

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s no use pretending not to know. I was already certain that you were related to So Yun-hui, the sword master, when you came to retrieve the Four Swords.”

“It’s related to So Yun-hui…”

I put strength into the hand holding the four-leafed sword.

Rather than having a conversation, I decided it would be better to subdue them first.

At that time, a man with a bamboo hat, presumably Seo Bok, spoke to me.

“If a fight breaks out here, nothing good will come of it.”

“I wonder if that’s true.”

I immediately tried to target him first.

However, I couldn't help but stop at the words that came out of the mouth of the bamboo man who was presumed to be Seo Bok.

“I bet you don’t want it to be known that Sogeomseon Sounhwi is the same person as the Blood Demon.”

For a moment, my mind became complicated.

And then something occurred to me.

Seo Bok, who suddenly appeared with an iron ball while dealing with the monsters in the three forbidden areas of Bongnim Valley, had seen me transform into a blood demon.

At that time, I couldn't do anything to him with my own strength, but who would have thought that it would come flying back like an arrow like this?

-This is difficult. If this continues, I'll lose my position as leader.

That's right.

Now I know why they said the plans were changed.

It seems that I, the Sword Master, was planning to expose the fact that I am the same person as the Blood Demon.

-That's right. Then it will be easy to reinstate the former leader who is pushing.

I got a real kick out of it.

-We have to stop that from happening!

Catching them won't stop it.

The fact that the plan changed meant that even the gold medalist knew about it.

Then the guy continued talking.

“I see that you didn’t know that your disciple was a blood demon.”

I frowned at that guy's words.

I now know for sure what they think of me.

Since I didn't know exactly who Sogeomseon Sounhwi was, I judged him to be his disciple.

Well, it is common sense that there is information that the Soga of Ikyang grew up in, so how can one imagine that it went back in time to 300 years ago?

Then the bamboo man who had been distancing himself from me spoke.

“Ha! That’s what happened. Now everything fits together. Hahahahaha.”

“…….”

“What should I do? If the disciple’s identity is revealed, the Blood Sect will drag him down, and he will be publicly criticized by the sect.”

I guess you already think you have figured out all my weaknesses.

So that's why it's like this.

He held out his hand to me and said.

“Hand over the Four Swords. Descendants of the Sword Master.”

“Do you think I can pass it?”

The guy laughed at my words and said:

“Don’t you think it’s too weak to reject?”

"weakness?"

“Do you think we wouldn’t have placed people next to those related to the Sogeomseon? Even now, they can kill Soyoungyoung and Ikyang Soga at any time. Ah, even if we don’t do that, the Martial Arts Federation or the Blood Cult will try to kill them if their identities are revealed.”

My eyes couldn't help but sharpen at those words.

The guy couldn't hide his excitement when he saw me like this.

It's as if I had a tooth pulled out that had been aching for a long time.

“You wouldn’t want your disciple to be unhappy. No, the entire Buddhist order would be unhappy. The descendant of Geomseong tried to control the martial arts world by influencing his disciple. Wow… How much attention would this attract from the world?”

“……..”

These guys are really determined.

Then the bamboo man who had blocked my sword stepped forward and spoke.

“Do it in moderation.”

"what?"

“There is a saying that even a cornered mouse will bite a cat. If a descendant of the Sword Master were to hide here, would it be possible to find him?”

At his words, the man who had been sulking at me closed his mouth.

I guess he thought I was incredibly provocative.

I was the one their leader feared, and if I were to give up everything and run away, I might have to take responsibility.

As if he had this in mind, the bastard spoke to me.

“I see. Okay. Then I will make the proposal to the descendants of the swordsman.”

"proposal?"

“Yes. If you accept this offer, I will guarantee the lives of your disciple, his family, and everyone involved. And your disciple’s identity will not be revealed.”

He's making an intriguing proposition.

I said with a laugh.

“So what is the offer?”

Then the guy laughed and said,

“Hand over the Sage Sword and the Blood Demon Sword that the disciple has. Then, have the disciple swear allegiance to him.”

"under?"

“Do you think He would leave alone those who are disloyal?”

He said it as if he was being considerate.

Do you think I don't know your intention to eat both the blood sect and the sect at the same time?

The guy continued talking.

“You, the descendant of the Sword Master, are in a different position from your disciple. He does not like to leave behind regrets.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“In this place, close your dantian yourself and cut the veins of both arms and both legs. If you do so, I will report to that person and guarantee your life.”

I guess he thinks I'll accept his offer.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to be so smug.

This was possible because he had already caught all my weaknesses.

Sodamgeom asked with concern.

-What should I do? I'm in a total dilemma.

That's right.

-Even if you know me as your disciple now, it's only a matter of time before you get caught.

I guess so.

He has already completely grasped my energy with his golden eyes.

Whether he comes out as a swordsman or a blood horse, that person, who is presumed to be Seo Bok, will definitely notice.

When my identity was revealed, I was properly cornered.

I said with a long sigh, as if I was in despair.

“Whew… This isn’t a suggestion, it’s more like a threat.”

The guy smiled and replied to my words.

“Think as you wish. I have nothing to lose, but you, the descendant of the Sword Master, are not like that.”

“I have nothing to lose……”

I laughed at what the bastard said.

The bamboo man was talking to me.

“I don’t think you’re in a position to be that relaxed.”

To this I said a word.

“Heungsan.”

'!?'

When he heard that, the guy who had been shaking his shoulders in joy stopped moving.

I didn't stop there and said:

“Jo-yang…..Gichun…..Seoseong…..Nam-so”

There is only one reason why he keeps his mouth shut in response to my words.

This was because the stronghold of the Golden Emperor was located among these locations.

Even if you constantly move locations for your own safety, there will definitely be one of these locations.

“Do you think I wouldn’t have found him?”

The man who had been speechless for a moment because he was embarrassed opened his mouth.

“That won’t make a difference. You can move your base whenever you want, but can you handle it if your disciple’s identity is revealed and you become the enemy of the entire martial arts world?”

"sun."

"what?"

“If you want to expose it, go ahead.”

When he came out strong, the guy couldn't hide his doubts.

I didn't stop there, I used the Chehwamanbyeonsul to change my face on the spot.

“Huh?”

The appearance I had changed into was none other than that of a golden emperor.

Even though he was covered with a bamboo hat and black cotton, his eyes must have widened.

“Uh… how?”

“Oh, I forgot one thing. Your eyes are different.”

I covered my eyes and then opened them as if my eyes had been transformed by magic.

'!!!'

They were all shocked to see that one of his eyes had turned into gold, making him look completely like the Golden Emperor.

I smiled at them and said,

“Let’s see who can become the first to become a public enemy in the martial arts world.”

“Yes, you…. No way….'

“Should I just slaughter everyone in the Martial Arts Federation, regardless of gender or age?”
