An era of peace.

It was about 25 years since Cheonma was defeated and the Central Plains began to enjoy peace.

Around the year I was born, the Heavenly Demon was defeated, and after it was realized that the Demonic Cult no longer had a negative influence on the Central Plains, many people throughout the Central Plains cheered.

Although cheering was only applicable to the emperor, it was not a big problem since the emperor also shouted ‘Long Live the Sword Saint’ at the sword saint’s victory.

And once safety was secured to a certain extent, many young men and women in the Central Plains began to share love in earnest.

As they became more confident that the children they had were not at risk, many women who had postponed pregnancy began having children one by one.

How love can blossom and children can be born even in the midst of war.

Even before Cheonma was defeated, children continued to be born, but after Cheonma’s defeat, many women in the martial arts world began to give birth in earnest.

Cheonma didn’t kidnap the orphan immediately after his defeat.

He spent his time trying to restore the Heavenly Demon Shingong and suppressing the rebellion against Heavenly Demon within the Demonic Cult. He decided to aim for the next generation, thinking that he could not take revenge on Baekdo Murim with the power of his own generation.

That is, the period between Cheonma’s defeat and me being kidnapped as an orphan by the Demonic Cult was quite long.

The period of peace in the martial arts world was long.

That’s why most martial artists, or perhaps those of the later generation called the “Second Generation” or those who live outside of the Shaanxi region where fierce battles with the Demonic Cult took place, do not know much about the nature of the Murong Family.

A martial arts hero who defeated Cheonma.

Some people think that Geomseong is a cheerful and kind hero, but in fact, Geomseong is a person who reacts more sharply than anyone else.

So to speak, there is no situation in the palm of one’s hand.

When someone picks a fight, he’s the kind of person who hesitates between cutting off their neck or their wrist, but never laughs it off or shows mercy and forgives them.

Although it is unknown whether he had some change of heart after his daughter’s incurable disease was cured after being treated for his vein disease, it is safe to say that he is definitely not the type of ‘righteous hero’ that many in the Central Plains martial arts world think of.

Then what about that daughter, Murong Seol?

In my opinion, she is just a beautiful, generous, loving woman who would do anything for the man she loves, and is somewhat honest about her desires in that regard.

But that’s my position, and the black blood flowing inside her hasn’t disappeared anywhere.

Even without merit.

In terms of skill as well.

-I’ll think after I cut it.

The same goes for Murong Seol, who has such a disposition.

Phew, ahhh.

Something red shoots up toward the ceiling.

At the same time, Murong Xue swung the blanket forward in a big way, and I followed Murong Xue’s hand and stuck to the bed.

“Huh?”

The kidnapper was unaware of the situation.

No, it was too late to realize.

He is making the Moyong family embarrassed with his ridiculous tricks and is not even realizing that we are just accepting his tricks. He is also not understanding the scene unfolding before his eyes.

“Ki…Yeon-ah?”

Since he is also a father with a daughter, he probably didn’t understand the phenomenon that happened to his daughter at the time.

okay.

That’s usually the reaction.

The reaction of those who did not expect that Mo Yong-se would swing his sword like that and were hit by it.

Surely, that must be the case.

That unbelievable dream actually came true.

Mo Yongseol’s sword cut off Yoo Kiyeon’s neck.

It wasn’t just the Adam’s apple that was cut and blood gushed out, but the head and neck were ‘separated’ along the path the blade passed through.

“What is this-”

Yoo Ki-yeon’s body falls backwards, and a fountain of blood shoots up to the ceiling and sprays towards the kidnapper’s face.

“…!!”

Only then did the kidnapper realize the situation and reach for the sword on his waist, but Murong Xue was much faster than him, kicking the bed and jumping up.

Ka-ang!

The sword that Murong Xue thrust forward hit the kidnapper’s sword handle exactly.

Rather than stabbing to death, it was closer to stabbing to inflict damage. The sword that Murong Xue stabbed with was so precise that the kidnapper couldn’t even pull it out, and the sword went back into its scabbard.

“!!”

The kidnapper jumps backwards.

He tried to distance himself and confront the ‘master’, but Murong Seol had already kicked away from the bed and ran towards the kidnapper, swinging his sword sharply at him.

Boo-hoo!

Traces of veins flowed from Mo Yong-seol’s hair, and the black aura, like sky blue, glittered and drew diagonal lines.

“Ugh?!”

It was shallow.

If it had been just a little deeper, it would have cut through his skin rather than his clothes, and blood would have spurted out, but the kidnapper barely managed to avoid it by only cutting his uniform.

“Lee-”

The kidnapper, perhaps aware that his daughter was dead and that it was too late to draw his sword, tried to deal with Murong Xue by holding the sword in its sheath.

“……?!”

However, he met my eyes.

And then he looked at me with surprised eyes and lowered his head.

A fleeting moment.

The moment the kidnapper closed his eyes.

“Chilseong (Seven Stars).”

In that brief moment, Murong Xue lowered his sword and body to the ground and disappeared from the kidnapper’s sight.

And when the kidnapper tried to step on the law with his feet twisted strangely, Murong Xue’s hand had already swung upward.

“One star in the sky.”

Crunch!

This time it reached.

One of the techniques of the Seven Star Sword, the peerless secret sword of the Black Sword Master Moryongcheon, unfolded and the sword soared from the ground into the sky.

“Ouch, gasp.”

The kidnapper’s eyes roll back.

No matter how skilled a swordsman you are, if the sword is slashed straight up from below and up to your neck, you will lose your mind from the pain.

Ta-ah!

Mo Yongseol jumped back greatly.

Then, he landed next to me, who was still lying down, and quickly slid the sword’s handle down while gently supporting it with his wrist.

Boo-hoo!

Quickly rotate the sword with your wrist.

The movements were as fast as the wind, and I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at the sight of a circular, blue-glowing shield appearing in front of Murong Xue.

and.

Puhwaaah!!

The kidnapper, split in half, fell to his knees, blood spurting out from between his uniform.

widely.

As soon as the kidnapper fell, Murong Xue grabbed the sword by the handle.

Although no blood was splattered towards the bed guarded by Murong Seol, our room was instantly turned into a mess from the ceiling to the floor with the blood from the two corpses.

“After.”

Even though he had killed the leader of a sect and his daughter in an instant—to be honest, he had killed them—Murong Xue did not shed a single drop of sweat or shed a single drop of blood.

She is the daughter of the greatest person in the world, and it is not for nothing that she is called the ‘Cheonmujiche’.

‘I knew that he had been learning his father’s martial arts here and there even before he got sick with schizophrenia, but it’s only been a few days since he recovered from schizophrenia and he’s already at the beginning of his peak swordsmanship.’

The Thousand and One Body.

A flesh that possesses martial arts talent that is said to be superior to that of the Black Swordsman Mo Yong-cheon, at least in terms of ‘talent’.

A genius who can cut down the Jageommun Gate Master in an instant before three rounds have passed just by drawing a sword in his head.

“…Ah!”

A swordsman like that.

“That, sir?!”

His cold and haughty expression suddenly collapsed, and he looked at me, not knowing what to do.

“That, that, ah, that, cow, hand…!”

“Young lady.”

I quietly got up and hugged Mo Yongseol from behind.

“It was beautiful.”

“Ah, that, that….”

“I mean it.”

It might be a bit excessive to talk about this in this situation.

“The moment you swing your sword is when you are the most beautiful.”

I, too, know better than anyone that I have a rather twisted aesthetic.

But if you are not a person involved in the investigation, or someone watching from afar, nine out of ten times, you will tell clearly.

Even in the midst of the pouring fountain of blood, a single blue lily flower bloomed proudly, and even though it caused the fountain of blood, it bloomed proudly like a flower on the cliff without getting a single drop of blood on it.

Even if countless corpses were laid out at the bottom of the cliff to pick that one flower, and the ground was filled with bones, no one would deny that the flower has a beauty that no one can deny.

“Well…I want to be lovable rather than beautiful…”

Mo Yongseol lowered his sword with a sad expression.

“I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean to kill you….”

“Is it your fault? It’s their fault.”

They have committed a mortal sin.

“You deserve to die for sneaking into our bedroom and defiling this place where we had our first experience.”

“That’s why I tried not to kill you….”

Murong Xue looked back and forth between the two men, and fiddled with his sword.

“I have a feeling that if I don’t kill him, he’ll do something weird…”

“Good job. That’s the correct answer.”

“Huh?”

“If you don’t kill them in one breath, those mines will show their ‘aftermath’.”

Bubbling.

Somewhere, it may not be my imagination that the blood of the kidnapper and the two women, Yu Gi-yeon, seems to be boiling.

* * *

[A moment later, on the roof of the pharmacy.]

“I see. Did you kill him?”

The warriors of Murong Se-ga, who had been watching the situation, entered the room themselves and took control of the scene, and Murong Seol and I met with Sword Master Murong Cheon, who had come to the rooftop of the medicine hall.

“Good job, Seol-ah.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“No.”

Geomseong spoke to Mo Yongseol in a cold voice, unexpectedly.

“There is no reason to be sorry.”

“…….”

“If there’s anything you should feel sorry for me about, it’s when you break a promise.”

“Huh?”

“You said you would protect the person you love with a sword. If you hurt Assemblyman Seok, then that is something to be sorry about, but that is not the case, so it is not a sin.”

“Ha, but….”

“Just.”

The blacksmith continued speaking in an extremely cold voice.

“The two bad guys just died while trying to make a mess.”

“…….”

“The original plan was to subdue them rather than kill them, but it turned out well. That’s how the ‘original Mo Yong-se’ moves.”

originally.

Although the words were weighty, the middle-aged warriors of the Moryong family who had come to the medicine hall – those of the same generation as Geomseong – wiped away the blood and collected the body with all too familiar hands.

“Rep. Seok. Sorry, but let me change my words. ”

“Yes?”

“They say knowledge is a curse, but I guess I should know now.”

Geomseong pointed with his eyes at the two corpses that the Sega clans had collected.

“What do you think? …Do you think we can save him?”

“…….”

hmm.

“Let’s give it a try.”

Try it, and if it doesn’t work, don’t.
