Side story 268. Bloody battle in the shadows (3)

Lee Cheon-sang thought as he looked into Song Ha’s eyes.

‘That’s dangerous.’

The bloodshot, red eyes were filled with suffocating magic.

I couldn’t figure out how he could hide his presence so well with those magic eyes. Those eyes, stained with madness beyond murder, clearly showed his intentions.

‘It definitely got stronger, though.’

He’s gotten stronger since the first time we fought. He’s only a few steps away from reaching the realm of supremacy.

Those few steps are really big among experts. In real life, everything is a variable, but in terms of pure skill, a difference of one move can drastically widen the gap between winning and losing in a fight between experts.

Moreover, Lee Cheon-sang has reached the pinnacle of martial arts and has acquired martial arts skills that are not far behind those of any of the best martial artists in the civil war. In terms of skill, he may still be inferior to Baek So-dam or Seo Pil, but if he reveals his martial arts skills, he can display skills that are superior to theirs, and in fact, he defeated Heo Seong-gwan in that way.

For Song Ha at the moment, this is an opponent that will be difficult to defeat unless he receives help from a fairly large variable.

So, Lee Cheon-sang decided that he had to properly approach the fight with Song Ha.

There is no way that you would have come here without any variables that could reduce the skill gap that is difficult to overcome. Since you know your own skill, you would have come here with all the means to reduce the gap.

However, Lee Cheon-sang felt the need to ask for understanding once more.

“If you want to fight, take care of my own business first and I’ll fight as much as you want. So, for now, I want you to step aside quietly.”

“Huh, really?”

Song Ha spun the sword he was holding around and around.

It was a sword held in its scabbard. It reeked of danger.

“That is a truly grateful offer. But you know.”

Song Ha tilted her head.

“Why should I grant you this favor?”

“… … .”

“Just do what you have to do. I’ll do what I want to do. That’s fine.”

“Is that so?”

In the end, it is an unavoidable fight.

Although he is clearly a lower-level enemy than himself, if Song Ha starts to run wild in the Blood Soul Pavilion, innocent people could lose their lives.

Now, it was a problem that could have been resolved by asking for help from Baek So-dam, whose body had almost fully recovered. However, Lee Cheon-sang could not do so.

If someone unrelated gets hurt during that brief moment of asking for help, it’s ultimately his fault. He’s taking something that could have been resolved here all the way there.

“i get it.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s gaze changed.

“Let’s start.”

Flash!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lee Cheon-sang rushed in.

He ran towards Bukcheon Mahyebo and fiercely swung the Seven Night Sword. It was a single-slash attack that Song Ha used at a pace that was difficult for him to react to.

The sword that was thrown with the intention of ending it in one blow contained an unimaginable power. Song Ha’s expression was filled with surprise.

That was when.

When Lee Cheon-sang saw something transparent rising in front of Song Ha’s nose, he instinctively increased his magical energy and relaxed his joints.

Boom!

With a loud noise, Lee Cheon-sang’s body took three or four steps back.

A strong impact came to the palm of my hand holding the Seven Night Sword. It was as if a small grenade had struck me.

“also!”

Papak!

Songha disappeared into the forest again.

Apart from other things, that new technique seemed like a real headache. When you are chasing and killing them instead of fighting them, even the Seven Treasures of the Lord won’t work because the distance is too far.

“I knew you’d launch a surprise attack. You’re a rational person.”

Songha’s voice echoed throughout the forest.

‘What kind of explosion is this?’

Lee Cheon-sang didn’t even care about Song Ha’s voice.

What’s important is that the transparent membrane surrounding Song Ha’s body blocked Chil-ya-do’s attack.

No, to be exact, it wasn’t that he blocked the Seven Nights.

‘It blew up first.’

The pressure of the explosion caused him to be thrown from Chil-ya-do to his own body. If it had been a real wall-crash bomb, even Lee Cheon-sang would not have been unharmed.

‘It’s not something like explosives or something external. This is Qi Gong.’

There was no distinctive smell or trace of explosives.

I could feel the strong magic energy from the energy that spread out decisively. The magic energy was so strong that it was comparable to the power of the piercing technique that a top-notch expert would release in an instant.

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.

‘It’s not that I don’t understand. I was like that too.’

Even if the level is not reached, there are times when the power of martial arts increases explosively due to certain factors.

He too would be a variable to his opponent. The problem was that while he had been the one causing such variables up until now, the enemy was now causing them.

And when Lee Cheon-sang realized that fact, he felt no regrets.

“This conversation and the first blow convinced me that the method I brought would work well against you.”

A voice that still echoes through the forest.

It’s a presence, but because of this voice, it’s impossible to track where Song Ha is. I wonder where on earth he learned such hiding techniques and strange sound skills.

When you’re contemplating whether you should blow up the entire forest.

“I’ve been looking into you. I heard you have someone you care about in the Blood Soul Pavilion?”

“… … !”

“It seems like you don’t like seeing unrelated people get hurt because of your work. How surprising.”

In that moment, Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes lit up.

Flash! Kkwarung!

The power of the Blood Wind and Five Sects was contained in the sword that was swung.

Five blasts of wind, accompanied by a strong smell of blood, shattered five large trees.

Of course, there was no Songha there. The forest itself was quite large and deep.

Songha’s voice rang out.

“I’m going to blow up the Blood Soul Pavilion from now on.”

Lee Cheon-sang turned his head in the direction of the blood horn pavilion.

At that moment, his magic eye caught sight of Song Ha’s body, which had turned into a single dot. How could her voice be heard from here, when she was so far away?

“We will make that place our battlefield.”

Paaaaang!!

Exploding Jinmagong.

After reaching this level, the speed at which Lee Cheon-sang performed lightness attacks with all his might was beyond imagination.

However, even at that fast speed, he could not overtake Song Ha. At best, he could barely keep up with them. Although their top speeds were somewhat equal, Song Ha’s normal speed was superior to Lee Cheon Sang’s.

Song Ha’s figure grew slightly larger, but the distance did not narrow any further.

‘You’re serious.’

In the direction Song Ha was heading, there was a blood soul pavilion, and her lightness was showing her determination.

She really intended to jump into the bloodline and fight, and she wouldn’t feel any guilt if innocent people died in the process.

‘Why like this?’

Even for Lee Cheon-sang, who now knew enough about human emotions, it was difficult to understand Song Ha’s insane obsession with him.

Rather, in the past, when I didn’t know what emotions were, I wouldn’t have even thought of this.

‘It’s not just to harass me. That woman’s goal is to kill me. She’s using the Blood Soul Pavilion as a battlefield to constantly find my weak points and kill me thoroughly.’

Even if this fight ends in victory for the opponent, he will never be able to survive. Song Ha will be caught somehow, and he will be severely punished for killing the members of the Blood Soul Hall and the patients for no reason.

‘He doesn’t care about his own life.’

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.

‘Did I stake my life on it?’

Of course, Lee Cheon-sang did not rule out the possibility that Song Ha and Dong-jun would join hands with someone to attack him.

Papapapang!!

As the output was further increased, the already fast lightness was put on fire.

Lee Cheon-sang felt his stomach turn. This was because he had forcibly increased the speed of his lightness by using his internal energy beyond its limits.

It was possible because I had learned the stable Jinmagong. If I had learned another magic, it would have been impossible to even try, and even if I had been able to, I would have vomited blood on the spot due to internal injuries.

In this way, Lee Cheon-sang gradually narrowed the distance between himself and Song Ha.

However, Song Ha, who seemed to be getting closer but was not able to reach the attack range, soon reached the outer wall of the Blood Soul Pavilion.

Paaaaang!

Song Ha, who had stepped on the edge of the outer wall and soared high into the sky, raised her sword, which she had pulled out with its sheath.

“Shall we set off our own firecrackers?”

She swung her sword powerfully.

At that moment, the scabbard flew like an arrow towards the center of the Blood Soul Pavilion.

Lee Cheon-sang’s left hand was pointed forward.

Taaaaang!!

The two hastily fired volleys of magic bullets flew towards the scabbard like lightning.

But it was too late. The scabbard had already reached the center of the Blood Soul Pavilion, in the empty ground.

and.

Kwaaaaang!

A building close to the epicenter collapsed with the explosion, sending flames soaring.

“Eww! What, what?!”

“Fire! Fire!”

“What the hell! Bring me water!”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes shook.

‘Explosion!’

The qigong technique that blocked his sword was not explosives, but there was explosives hidden inside the scabbard. And not just any explosives, but explosives with the power of two or three wall-cracking bullets.

I had no idea where he had gotten such a thing. Now was not the time to be discussing such things.

Paaaaah!

Lee Cheon-sang, who had hurriedly climbed over the outer wall, realized that Song Ha had disappeared again without making a sound.

Lee Cheon-sang, who was trying to find Song Ha’s presence by opening the keyhole, suddenly saw someone covered in blood behind the collapsed building.

He was a young doctor who was not yet twenty years old. His right leg was particularly badly injured, and looking at the direction in which it was broken, it was questionable whether he would be able to walk straight even after it was healed.

hook!

Lee Cheon-sang quickly ran to the doctor and examined the doctor’s leg.

“Please, save me.”

“Just wait.”

That was when.

Phew!

A dagger shot from between buildings flew towards Icheonsang.

He instinctively tried to swing the knife, but then an idea occurred to him and he jumped up, holding the doctor in his arms.

Boom!

As expected, it was. The place where the dagger was stuck exploded and destroyed one of the pillars of the building.

There was a murderous aura in Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes.

‘Bloodborne Magic.’

It was the magic of Jasodaema Lantern. In the short time since then, the level of the explosive magic has also been raised considerably.

If it had been a one-on-one match, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. However, in terms of indiscriminate slaughter, the power of the Explosive Magic was, in a way, worthy of being considered the best in the Shinsei religion.

“You have a good feeling. If you hit a few shots quickly, there will be fewer people getting hurt.”

Lee Cheon-sang spoke in a calm voice.

“You don’t intend to win a one-on-one fight, you just want to kill me somehow.”

“In the end, the one who survives wins. In order to win, you don’t care about the means and methods. That’s what fighting is, isn’t it?”

Boom!

Once again, another building was engulfed in flames.

I couldn’t tell how many gunpowders they had brought, how many knives they had brought. The gunpowder exploded, screams rang out, and the doctors and patients there also started vomiting blood and dying.

An amazing stealth technique that cannot be detected even by the senses of a true master, and a new technique that is difficult to catch up to.

With just those two martial arts, you can outwit enemies with vastly different levels. If your goal is not to fight back but to kill them, then it is standard to use the enemy’s psychology as well.

however.

Lee Cheon-sang couldn’t think of this as a competition.

At the same time, he was fully aware that he had been thrown into a match that didn’t even seem like a match.

“It’s a fight that will determine life and death… … .”

Lee Cheon-sang looked down at the doctor.

The face of the doctor who lost consciousness from the shock of the explosion was filled with nothing but emptiness.

Lee Cheon-sang, who had placed the doctor in a safe, open place, wiped the blood from his face.

“Let’s get along, this fight.”

Since she took the lives of innocent people for the entrance fee, the ticket to the afterlife should be cut off with her neck.
