Hainan Sect.
Five n were sitting in a magnificent room.
The one sitting in the seat of honor was the master of the Hainan Sect, Nam Ji-myeong, who was called the Sword Hero. He had been respected by the people of Hainan for a long ti for his outstanding character rather than his martial arts.
Next to him were the Vice Master, Yuk Nam-gi, the Elder, Lee Yul-dok, the Hall Master, Hae Won-pyeong, and finally, the Young Master, Nam Ji-hyeok.
The Master, Nam Ji-myeong, opened his mouth.
"A ssage has co from the Society. It seems the Blue Heaven and Red Heaven Law Enforcers have failed."
The Young Master, Nam Ji-hyeok, showed a surprised expression.
"The Dog and the Pig have failed... I thought the two of them would be enough, but as expected of the Divine Monk. Then, the Blue Heaven and Red Heaven sides must be in an uproar right now."
"I heard they are sharpening their blades for that matter. At the sa ti, the Lord of the Black Heaven has great expectations for us. If we finish this matter well, the position of the Black Heaven will beco even greater."
"Hehehe. Don't worry about that. The matter of the Sword Pavilion is more than 80% finished."
"How is the Sword Empress's condition?"
"When I visited, she didn't show herself, so it seems she is still unconscious."
"Then we don't need to worry about the Sword Pavilion anymore. A Sword Pavilion without the Sword Empress is nothing more than a small and dium-sized sect."
At that ti, the Young Master, Nam Ji-hyeok, showed an ambiguous expression.
"But there is sothing that bothers ."
"What is it?"
"There was a woman I had never seen before nad Murong Seryeong in the Sword Pavilion."
"The daughter of the fallen Murong family is in the Sword Pavilion... So, what about her martial prowess?"
"It was the Transformation Realm."
"It's nothing special. Did you happen to discover anything special about that child?"
"Not really, but... I don't think we need to leave any variables."
At those words, the Vice Master, Yuk Nam-gi, who had been listening silently until now, expressed his agreent.
"Now that the Blue Heaven and Red Heaven have failed, I think this matter should be handled with great care."
"If the Vice Master says so... What are the opinions of the others?"
The Elder, Lee Yul-dok, and the Hall Master, Hae Won-pyeong, also gave their opinions.
"I also think the Young Master is right."
"However, acting too blatantly can betray the public sentint we have worked so hard to build up."
At the worried words of the Hall Master, Hae Won-pyeong, the Master, Nam Ji-myeong, nodded his head.
"That's right. In this situation where the Sword Empress has fallen, if the last remaining disciple of the Sword Pavilion also falls into an unconscious state, anyone would suspect us, who sent the duel challenge to the Sword Pavilion."
"That's right. I think the best way is to make them give up on their own."
"Since the Hall Master is an expert in that, you can take charge of it yourself."
"Yes, I understand."
"Now that this damn sea life will be over in two weeks, everyone, don't let your guard down until the very end! Then, today's eting will end here."
As the Master, Nam Ji-myeong, stood up, the others also stood up from their seats. But the Young Master, Nam Ji-hyeok, remained seated with a firm face. Naturally, everyone's attention was drawn to him.
"Master, it's not sothing to report, but a small problem has arisen."
"What is it?"
"There has been no contact from the 3rd branch for several days."
"Isn't the 3rd branch the place where that Blood-Faced Demon guy is in charge?"
"Yes, that's right."
"It's obvious what that guy is up to. He's probably drinking all night and rolling around with won. Tsk, tsk. Even if he's demoted, he can't fix his personality... Well, his skills are real, so don't worry about it."
"Yes. If you say so, I understand."
"And that kid... no! Haven't you caught that rat yet?"
"Yes. I'm sorry."
"To think he would run away while I was distracted for a mont when he was on the verge of death."
"He is a child with blocked ridians. Seeing that he can't be found even after searching all over Hainan, it is highly likely that he has beco fish food in the sea by now."
"Still, don't stop the search. The fewer variables, the better."
"Don't worry. I will increase the search personnel."
***
Are there more geniuses in the world than I thought?
"Mister! Look at this! My body is light!"
I raised my head and then lowered it.
Pop!
The kid kicks off the ground.
Although he has no internal energy, the height of his jump was so high that I couldn't see it unless I tilted my head back as much as possible.
Anyone would think he had about one cycle of internal energy.
The kid falls back to the ground due to gravity.
Thud!
Dust rises as the kid lands. From the sound, it wouldn't have been strange if his knees were shattered, but the knees of the person in question were fine.
Was it not only the fine ridians but also the bones that were getting stronger?
I don't know because I haven't had blocked ridians. But I had no intention of closing all my great ridians myself to solve this curiosity.
"Is your body all ward up?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, that's a relief. Then shall we go now?"
"Okay! But where are we going now?"
At the kid's question, I looked ahead.
Dozens of pirates were lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Two-thirds of them were defeated by , and believe it or not, one-third was defeated by the kid.
Surprisingly, the kid was learning the martial arts of the Hainan Sect. When I asked him how he knew it, he said he had secretly stolen the secret manual. If it were the days when the Hainan Sect was on par with the Nine Great Sects, I wouldn't have believed it, but the current Hainan Sect was nothing more than a small and dium-sized sect. Even if he didn't steal the martial arts, there were plenty of ways to know if he just wanted to know.
By the way, for a young kid to have already awakened to thievery... isn't he a great talent to beco a disciple of the demonic path?
For reference, the reason I'm struggling with the pirate bastards here is to interfere with what the Black Heaven is doing on my way to the Sword Empress.
And to find out what their intentions are.
I slapped the cheek of one of the guys who was unconscious on the floor.
"Hey! Wake up!"
The unconscious guy ca to his senses and scread as soon as he saw my face.
"Aaaargh! It's a monster!"
Seeing an obvious person and calling him a monster, I gently planted a punch in his mouth. Three teeth beautifully draw a parabola in the air. Only then does the guy beco quiet.
I'm a person who truly loves peace, but the world always forces to use violence. It's just a sha in this harsh world.
"Now! Listen carefully to what I'm about to say. There's a restriction placed on your head."
At my words, the guy's eyes tremble continuously.
"I know, you can't believe it. But it's true. From now on, you can live if you just do as I say. If you understand, nod your head."
Nod.
"That's right, good boy. Your gang, they're in other places too, right?"
Nod.
"That's right. Well done. Shall we just indicate the direction with your eyes? If you speak, the restriction will be activated, so you shouldn't open your mouth even by mistake. Now! Shall we just move our eyes?"
Right!
"That's right. You're smart. I'll say it again, but you must not open your mouth. Then, the restriction will be activated and your head will explode and you'll die imdiately. Now! It's to the right, how far away is it? If it's correct, blink twice. 1 li? 2 li? 3 li? 5 li? 6 li? 7 li?"
Blink! Blink!
"It's 7 li to the right. I'll have to cross the sea. Alright, are there slaves captured there too? If so, blink twice!"
Blink! Blink!
"Is that place an island too?"
Blink! Blink!
"How many such places are there in total? One? Two? Three? Four? Five? Six? Seven?"
Blink! Blink!
"Hoo! There are seven places? These bastards have been eating a lot. For your information, the restriction is all a lie. You can talk."
"The Blood-Faced Demon in Maindo will..."
Pop!
His head exploded.
"It was a lie. Tsk, tsk, so naive."
I flinched and looked back. The scene just now was a bit cruel for a child to see.
But the kid looked surprisingly okay.
"So cool!"
Does the seed of a sword demon really have a different trajectory from an ordinary person from the start?
I expressed my apologies to all the people in the martial world whose nicknas had 'demon' in them.
Soon, the kid was jumping up and down on his own and was imitating what I had just done to the unconscious people next to him. And the way he giggled in the middle was even a little scary.
I shrugged my shoulders and gathered the people who had been trapped on this island in one place.
Just then, there was a boat on the coast that seed to have been ridden by them.
"Is there anyone here who can steer a boat?"
"I-I'm a forr captain!"
The one who said he was a captain, for so reason, was looking at with fearful eyes. It seed it was because so blood had splattered on his face when the head had exploded earlier.
"That's great. You can take these people back, right?"
"O-of course! I will do my best!"
"Ah! Before that, please drop off at that island over there. I heard there are slaves captured there too."
"O-of course. I will do anything if you just spare my life!"
Anyone would think I was threatening him.
Co to think of it, I was doing a good deed, but I felt strangely bad, so I asked quite seriously.
"Do I look like a villain?"
"Absolutely not! You look like a very benevolent, clean, and pure young man! You are innocent! You absolutely do not look like a group of evil people trying to lead a naive child down the path of a ruthless pirate!"
"Then, that's a relief. I hate being misunderstood when I'm doing a good deed. For your information, the saying I hate the most is 'Let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing.' You've done a good deed, but you're telling not to let anyone know, does that make sense? It's the height of inefficiency. Right?"
"You are a hundred tis right!"
"Ah! But does anyone have a water bottle?"
The forr captain had witnessed this crazy young man break the head of soone who hadn't given him a water bottle right in front of his eyes.
Of course, they were pirate bastards.
What was strange was that so on the friendly side were also trembling.
"Here it is! I will give it to you!"
"Wow~! I knew it from your impression, you're a really good person! Right! We should share even a drop of water like this! Isn't that the taste of life! Haha!"
"That's right! Haha!"
"Wow! We really connect. Alright! It was annoying to have to find a captain to steer the boat on a different island every ti, but you! Let's go together for a while."
"Yes? I'm sorry?"
"Are your earholes blocked? Want to pierce them for you?"
"I can hear you very well now!"
"Phew. That's a relief. I thought I had to pierce your earholes."
Kim, who was born in Hainan, lived a normal life as a captain, and fished peacefully, closed his eyes tightly.
'Mother, I hope you spend the rest of your life comfortably without any illness. Your son has t so crazy bastard and is going first.'
Flash.
A chill ran down his spine at the gaze that was looking at him.
That was by no ans the gaze of an ordinary person.
Until just now, he should have just run away when he was cutting people like radishes.
Of course, he only cut the pirate bastards.
Still, what was scary was scary.
Grin.
When his eyes curved into a crescent moon shape, it was as if a demon had descended.
The gentle-looking kid next to him laughs along.
'Since I've fallen into this pit anyway, let's do what I can! Yes! I'll save the naive kid from that demon bastard!'
Unfortunately, he had no power.
"Now! Let's not dawdle, let's move quickly. Or do you want to live here forever?"
At the demon bastard's words, people move all at once.
Kim, steeling his heart, led them to the pier. After dropping the people off on the outskirts of Hainan, Kim had arrived at another island.
The demon was stretching his body with a crackling sound.
"This is surprisingly fun, reminding of the old days."
The demon looks at the kid.
"Kid, are you okay with not getting off at Hainan just now?"
"I'll follow you, mister. It's fun!"
Demon bastard! He must have brainwashed that naive kid and is asking such a aningless question to relieve his own guilt.
"Heeheehee. If you survive this, I'll make you my comrade too."
"Okay!"
"Then, Captain, I'll go and beat up the guys here, so hide well. If you die, I'll have to bother another captain."
Kim bowed his head deeply and answered.
"Of course. Please go and co back comfortably! I will stay hidden without even breathing."
As the demon bastard kicked off the bottom of the ship, the kid imdiately followed. Kim, upon arriving in Hainan, resolved to hand that demon bastard over to the authorities imdiately.
***
The tent where the Blood-Faced Demon was staying was always filled with the thick sll of alcohol and the scent of won's powder.
Flap!
Soone entered the tent.
The Blood-Faced Demon, regardless, was rolling around with a woman.
The one who entered frowned slightly at the sight of the naked man and woman entangled like beasts.
"Three branches have been hit."
At that mont, the hand that was touching the woman's plump buttocks stopped. The head that was buried in her ample chest was raised.
"Sea-Faced Demon. If it's a joke, it's not funny."
"I don't want to joke with you about sothing like this. It's true."
The Blood-Faced Demon roughly grabbed the head of the woman he was holding. Then, the woman's face contorted in pain, and she looked at the Blood-Faced Demon with a pleading gaze. The Blood-Faced Demon, seeing that, grinned and then squeezed his hand. Crack! The woman's head was crushed as it was. The Blood-Faced Demon licked the blood on his hand and then got up from his seat.
The Sea-Faced Demon, who saw that, frowned again.
"Madman."
The Blood-Faced Demon smiled faintly as he slled the blood on his body.
"I'll get to taste so blood for the first ti in a long ti."
The Blood-Faced Demon.
He was a strong man who was outstanding enough to be given the mask of a Law Enforcer in the Black Heaven. But he had been defeated by the current Law Enforcer and had been demoted to a single island in Hainan.
The Blood-Faced Demon took out the mask he had been keeping in his bosom.
It was a snake-shaped mask, and one end was broken.
The Sea-Faced Demon also took out a mask, following the Blood-Faced Demon.
As expected, one end was broken.
The two n put on their masks at the sa ti, and their appearance as they walked side by side was like seeing a two-headed snake.
The Blood-Faced Demon asked.
"This bug is showing off quite spectacularly. It'll be fun to kill. The location?"
"The 6th branch."
As soon as he heard those words, the Blood-Faced Demon kicked off the ground. The Sea-Faced Demon, who was heading to the pier, frowned again at the sight.
"Hmph. Madman."
The Blood-Faced Demon was now running on the sea.
The distance between their 7th branch and the 6th branch was 5 li.
On a calm day, it would take less than a mont to run across the sea.
