NIP Chapter 270 : I'll Make Sure You're Not Bored
Chapter 270 : I'll Make Sure You're Not Bored
Ten iron poison pills that had jumped up at the exact moment.
Considering the range, if the ten iron poison pills exploded at the same time, it was clear that about eighty percent of the martial artists in this place would be poisoned by the poison qi and die.
But the next moment, Cheon Yusin’s blade cut the world.
Seureung—!
The iron poison pills, which had been cut in half with a bright white halo, fell without being able to explode.
Tuk— tuk—!!
‘Why!?’
The one who was most surprised by this was Hamgi.
It was normal for it to explode even with a small shock.
But Cheon Yusin’s blade had strongly frozen the iron poison pills he had cut, and thanks to that, the iron poison pills were split in half while frozen and could not explode.
Even the poison that was filled inside was in a state of being frozen solid.
“Hoo—!”
The expression of Cheon Yusin, who had saved everyone’s lives with a single slash, was not very bright.
‘I used too much internal energy.’
In fact, White Moon Freezes the World was a special technique that should not have been used here.
It was a special technique that had been prepared to block the movement of the Blood Demon, which would happen later, even for a moment.
He had come this far, saving his internal energy for this, but the iron poison pills of the formless killing poison that the Poison Sect had secretly prepared had made him swing his sword.
“Are you okay!?”
So Wigyeon quickly approached.
“I’m fine, so check the gate.”
“Beyond the last gate… there is only one enemy.”
“One person?”
Cheon Yusin raised his head and stared beyond the gate.
And there, on the empty space, only one man was standing tall.
As if he were waiting for something with his eyes dyed in blood-red light.
“Blood Demon… don’t tell me he’s really waiting for Jin Sohyun alone.”
Cheon Yusin, who had confirmed that Ma Seongun was alone beyond the last gate, raised his internal energy and put strength into his voice.
“Listen, righteous path! From now on… open a path for the flying sword!!”
Open a path for the flying sword.
Cheon Yusin’s command was quickly delivered beyond the four gates.
At this, the martial artists who were fighting fiercely to open a path at each gate shouted with one heart and one mind.
“Open the path!!”
“Open the path!!”
Kang Seopyeong, who was passing the second gate, also heard this and smiled broadly.
“The time has come. You bandit and ronin bastards! From now on, open a path! Kill everything you see!”
“You shiiit! Come on, you sons of bitches!”
“Let’s do it!”
The bandits and ronin were entangled and started to fight to open a path.
Their role was to open the path of the third gate.
Risking their lives.
They started to fight, swinging their swords, daos, and axes with all their might so that the path would not collapse.
Following that, the martial artists of the 11th unit, who had passed the first gate.
Gwak Myeong, the four masters, and the disciples of the Four Gods’ Daoist Temple supported the backs of their seniors to open the path of the second gate, and they personally swung their swords and fought against the men in black.
Although their whole bodies trembled at the fierce killing intent they were facing for the first time, they gritted their teeth and endured.
Gwak Myeong cut down the men in black who were rushing in like crazy at the same time and said with a blood-stained face.
“Open… the path.”
***
Zhuge Suk, who had received the signal, threw the folding fan he had always been holding and shouted.
“12th unit!”
Jin Sohyun and the seven young martial artists who were escorting him, who had heard Zhuge Suk’s voice, raised their heads.
“Advance!”
After a long time, finally, the last order of the righteous martial world, the twelfth unit, advanced.
At this, Gamak of the Iron Cutting Escort Unit and Wigeumseong of the Golden Heaven Escort Unit moved together.
They took charge of the front and rear, in front of and behind Jin Sohyun.
“I will open the path first.”
“I’ll leave it to you.”
“I am the one who should be asking. Please… win.”
Gamak ran forward.
And in an unseen place, the Silver Shadow Unit accompanied them.
They were escorting Jin Sohyun in the shadows, preparing for a possible surprise attack.
Following that, behind Gamak, Jin Sohyun and the seven martial artists moved.
Tadat—!
Jin Sohyun and the seven martial artists.
A total of eight martial artists passed the first gate.
“…!”
Although he didn’t know because he hadn’t seen it directly, the battlefield he had actually witnessed was more tragic than he had imagined.
The dead bodies and the blood they had shed were enough to make his eyes dizzy.
But the eight martial artists did not stop.
They just ran forward with their gazes fixed on the front.
Using the sacrifice of the martial artists in white as a stepping stone.
Tadadat—!!
‘The second gate!’
The advance of the eight martial artists was much faster than expected.
“Go! Go and kill the Blood Demon!”
“I believe in you!”
“Please… fight for our share too!”
Jin Sohyun passed the martial artists of the Nine Great Sects and the Five Great Families.
“Young Master Jin! Hurry up and go!”
“We will block them!”
“Young Master Jin is going! Everyone, do your best until the end!”
He passed the young late-stage prospects of the Four Daoist Temple and reached the third gate.
There, the bandits and ronin led by the Green Forest’s General Leader, Kang Seopyeong, were helping the martial artists in white and fighting against the heretic martial artists.
“General Leader! Go!”
Receiving the encouragement of the bandits, Jin Sohyun advanced with all his might, and Kang Seopyeong, who had discovered him, struck the men in black who were trying to block the path with his axe and smiled broadly.
“Don’t die, General Leader.”
Jin Sohyun nodded his head.
At that moment, some of the men in black discovered Jin Sohyun and shouted loudly.
“There’s the Flying Heaven Sword Ghost!”
“If we just kill that bastard, it’s over!”
“Kill him somehow!!”
The men in black who had discovered Jin Sohyun threw their whole bodies.
But Ilgaek, who had at some point appeared, cut down and killed all the men in black who were trying to attack Jin Sohyun with a dazzling fast sword.
“Go.”
“Yes.”
Following the path that Kang Seopyeong and Ilgaek had opened, Jin Sohyun and the seven martial artists ran forward.
At the fourth gate they arrived at, Cheon Yusin, the White Sword Unit, and Cheongheo Jinren and Jeongu Satae were struggling to open a path against a huge number of men in black.
“You’ve come!”
“Open the path… everyone!!”
For just one person, Jin Sohyun, the White Sword Unit and the martial artists of the alliance opened a path.
In between, Jin Sohyun and the seven martial artists walked out.
“Unfortunately, I don’t think I can give you my help.”
Jin Sohyun felt that the qi flowing in Cheon Yusin’s body was unstable.
It must be the backlash of having recently emitted a large amount of internal energy.
Jin Sohyun nodded his head and stared at the last gate that everyone had opened, risking their lives.
There.
‘He’ was standing, flashing a blood-red light.
“Then, I’ll be back.”
About three hours after the battle had started, Jin Sohyun stepped on the last gate.
“…Is this the real fight from now on?”
Cheon Yusin said this and stood in front of the last gate.
“Listen carefully from now on. The escort of the flying sword is over. Now… it’s time to sharpen the sword.”
The mission to safely transport Jin Sohyun to the heart of the Heretic Path's Alliance was over.
Now, there was only one mission left for them.
In case Jin Sohyun was defeated by the Blood Demon, to subdue the Blood Demon in his place.
For that, they had to be ready to pass the last gate and face the Blood Demon at any time.
“Listen, righteous path! Everyone, gather in front of the last gate!!”
***
Jeobeok— jeobeok—!
As they passed the last gate, the seven martial artists who were escorting Jin Sohyun remained at the entrance and held their breath.
Their role was now over.
What was left was to watch the fight between Jin Sohyun and the Blood Demon and to help him in case of an emergency.
That was the mission of the seven remaining martial artists.
“You’re late.”
Ma Seongun tilted his head from side to side and smiled.
His eyes, which were dyed in a blood-red color, stared at Jin Sohyun.
“It was worth the long wait. This time, it will be a fight where both you and I… cannot retreat.”
Behind Ma Seongun, the Mixed Demon Unit, including Pyo Ung, revealed themselves.
The number was the same as the seven martial artists who had come with Jin Sohyun.
“Ah, don’t worry. Those bastards will never interfere in our fight. Their only purpose is to execute those who try to disturb our glorious fight.”
“A glorious fight…”
“Yes. A glorious fight. A fight to determine the number one under heaven… no! The absolute one that will never be again!”
Jin Sohyun laughed.
“Ma Seongun. There is no glorious fight here.”
The smile disappeared from Ma Seongun’s joyful face.
“What did you say?”
“There will be no glory. You will just die miserably here… as a monster mad with slaughter.”
Ma Seongun nodded his head and then clapped his hands.
And he said with a dry voice.
“Do it.”
***
‘It’s hard… to even breathe properly.’
Beomkang’s skin was tingling, and it was even hard to breathe.
The air was heavy, and his hair stood on end.
Even if he clenched his fists strongly, he could not stop his fingertips from trembling.
‘It seems I’m not the only one.’
Fortunately, the other six young martial artists who had come with him also seemed to have difficulty breathing in the presence of Jin Sohyun and Ma Seongun.
‘By the way, brother… is he fighting such a monster?’
Beomkang felt like he would wet his pants in fear just by looking at Ma Seongun.
His instinct said.
From that monster.
Run away right now.
“Damn it… I’m not running away.”
Beomkang gritted his teeth and faced his fear.
In the meantime, the tip of Jin Sohyun’s hand pointed at Ma Seongun.
“I was planning to do that anyway.”
Piing—!!
Ma Seongun’s head automatically turned to the sky.
There, two flying swords were falling.
Like thunderbolts.
Ureureung— kwaang—!!!
A strong shockwave that was reminiscent of the great explosion that had occurred on the plain occurred.
Ma Seongun looked at the wound on the back of his hand with a displeased face.
“It’s not an ordinary sword.”
No matter how hard it was forged, if it were a flying sword made of ordinary metal, it would have been crushed by Ma Seongun’s fist.
But Jin Sohyun’s flying sword, far from being crushed, bounced off with amazing elasticity.
Seuk—!
Jin Sohyun appeared from between the sand dust that had risen from the explosion.
“It’s a gift from my master.”
Jin Sohyun’s two hands were stretched forward, and four flying swords, which held a blue flame, thrust at Ma Seongun.
The speed was so fast that it was impossible to follow with the eyes.
But Ma Seongun rotated his two hands up and down.
Kwadeudeuk—!!
“Tsk!”
At the monstrous strength that seemed to tear space itself, Jin Sohyun took a step back.
At the same time, the four flying swords, whose sword paths themselves had been twisted, flew, cutting through the empty air.
‘But I found out.’
Although the surprise attack had returned to nothing, it was not that there was no gain.
‘The current Ma Seongun is not invincible either.’
If it were the past Ma Seongun, he would have rushed at Jin Sohyun, ignoring the flying swords.
But was it because of the memory of having almost died once?
Ma Seongun chose defense instead of attack.
‘I can’t stop.’
The tip of Jin Sohyun’s foot strongly kicked the ground.
Kwang—!
Jin Sohyun, who had come close to Ma Seongun at a speed that surpassed the Shadowless Divine Step by flicking his deeply embedded foot, aimed the sixth flying sword he had taken out from his flying sword sheath at the front.
Beonjjeok—!
Jin Sohyun’s sixth flying sword, which contained the essence of both the Thunder Flash and the Explosive Flying Sword, accurately hit Ma Seongun.
Kwang—!!!
With a huge explosion, Jin Sohyun took out two more flying swords.
‘This much won’t even leave a scratch.’
Although it was a power that was enough to take the lives of several people, Jin Sohyun was not careless.
Because the Ma Seongun he had experienced was a person who could not be broken with this much power.
And as expected, although Ma Seongun had been hit directly by Jin Sohyun’s flying sword, which contained the power of the Thunder Flash and the Explosive Flying Sword, only his clothes were torn, and no particular wound was visible.
“Jin Sohyun.”
Ma Seongun looked at Jin Sohyun with eyes full of disappointment and asked.
“Is this… all?”
“As expected, this much is not enough.”
Jin Sohyun was not disappointed.
Anyway, he had not expected to be able to injure Ma Seongun, who had become the Blood Demon, with a half-assed attack.
“Hmm… no, no.”
Ma Seongun shook his head from side to side.
“The fight I was expecting was not like this. Do I have to break a toy… to fight properly?”
Ma Seongun’s gaze turned to the seven martial artists standing behind Jin Sohyun.
The seven martial artists, who had felt his gaze, unknowingly placed their hands on their weapons in an indescribable fear.
“It should be fine to kill about two of them…”
Ma Seongun’s head was suddenly bent.
Because a flying sword had come flying, aiming for his head.
Jureuk—!
Blood flowed down from his wounded cheek like a stream.
Ma Seongun, who was stroking the wound with his fingertips, smiled as if he were satisfied.
In the meantime, Jin Sohyun, who had collected his flying sword, said with a cold voice.
“Focus on me. I’ll make sure you’re not bored.”
