Chapter Index

    The atmosphere of Bingeumgok was generally quiet. This is due to the cold weather where the snow does not melt all year round, and the characteristics of the ice ball that the demons who rule there have learned.

    Because of this, even if conflicts between demons occurred, most incidents were often concluded quietly. Occasionally, accidents involving young horsemen mostly occurred in relatively warm areas located below Bingeum Valley.

    The biting cold was great for practicing ice ball, but it tended to stifle almost all other activities.

    So, when a loud noise and a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of Bingeum Valley, all the demons who were in a position to sense it were alert.

    Boom!

    “What… !”

    “There was a commotion at the gate!”

    “Has there been a fight among the experts?”

    It was natural that the demons rushed out in beoseonbal.

    As its name suggests, the terrain where Bingeum Valley is located is a canyon. It has occupied a position where the yin energy of heaven and earth naturally accumulates. Because of this, the three sides of the ice valley were surrounded by the steep cliffs of mountain ranges. The only route to the outside was through the main gate in front of the manor.

    However, when they arrived at the gate of Bingeumgok, the scenery that unfolded was something they had never imagined.

    The gate burst open without leaving any trace. And the wall that lost its meaning and collapsed.

    The remains of the main gate of Bingeumgok, which had stood firm for decades, were on fire, turning into ashes and scattering.

    “!”

    “What on earth is this…? ”

    “Did a bomb explode? ?”

    When the demons were embarrassed by that terrible scene.

    That… That…

    Due to the explosion, the snow covering it was blown away, and there was a shadow approaching, stepping on the exposed dirt.

    “Is this a bingeum song?”

    The size of the shadow was not very large. He was a strange man wearing a gray robe and a dark-looking bamboo hat that can be seen everywhere in the central plains. However, the voice coming from under the bamboo ribs had a low resonance, as if it was coming from hell.

    In reality, it was a modulated voice that can be commonly heard in real life, but it felt different to demons who heard it for the first time.

    The demons of Bingeumgok were in confusion. Listening to the strangely deformed voice, it was clear that he was a demon who had learned magic.

    “… What on earth is this? Did it come from the extinction group?”

    The Extermination Group is a group of demons who practice Yeolyang Qigong. It was natural to ask such questions after seeing the fire on the remains of the gate. Some people guessed that the reason the monster spoke in a strange voice was because his vocal cords were damaged due to excessive yang energy.

    However, since it was the first time that someone from another tribe attacked like this, the person asking the question also looked embarrassed.

    Minho felt better after hearing those words.

    ‘You misunderstood me from the beginning.’

    “Then?”

    “… Take off your bamboo lip and reveal your name and purpose. Otherwise, I will judge you as an enemy and freeze you to death on the spot.”

    Mine’s tone suddenly became fierce at Minho’s crooked answer. Although they were surprised by the bursting of the gate, the members of Bingeumgok also had a cruel disposition like the demons of other tribes. Rather, thanks to Binggong’s unique temperament, they were a more formidable opponent once he got angry.

    Of course, Minho snorted.

    “So you’re saying they’ll make it up to the fact that they already broke down the gate? You have an unusually merciful heart. It has been done. Call for Bingeumgokju. I’ll tell you the business myself.”

    “How dare you… !”

    Damn it!

    At the sight of the intruder carelessly mentioning their leader, Bingeumgokju, Bingma, the demons all became angry and showed their strength. At the same time, thin ice began to form in the air due to the emitted air waves.

    By learning similar types of ice balls, their energy waves resonated with each other.

    Minho spoke while activating his inner energy and supernatural ability to prevent the cold that spread into the air in an instant from penetrating his body.

    “He told me to sing Bingeumgokju. You are the ones who did not follow, so you will also have to take responsibility.”

    “The devil was so concentrated in his bone marrow that he went crazy! I’ll freeze you and break it in a matter of days!”

    One of the demons screamed and ran towards me. Among the gathered demons, he seemed to be of a slightly higher rank. His hands were covered with an ice protector that instantly froze anything he touched.

    Slurp~

    To respond, Minho took out a sword from his inventory. It is made of jet black ink iron and has a unique shape with a ring on the back of the knife. It was the sword used by Hwan Gong-do, the Sapa expert whom Minho dealt with for the first time on this trip.

    ‘The name of the weapon was Hwangongdo, the same as its nickname. It’s a heavy weapon.’

    I didn’t specifically choose the path on purpose. Among the various weapons stored, it was the first thing I grabbed.

    “You were hiding the Tao in your bosom! But it doesn’t work! I will shatter the Tao to pieces with my Nachal Ice Soul Spear!”

    Mine, who saw Minho’s move, shouted with a confident expression. It was not unfounded confidence. Unless the weapon was well protected with internal energy, a weapon hit head-on by an ice attack was usually destined to shatter like glass.

    However, there is no way that Mine, whose name I do not know, will be able to stop Minho just because he randomly draws a weapon.

    Suuu

    The exhaled breath came out like a cloud. He planted his feet firmly on the ground and freely unleashed the energy waves that had been dormant while taunting the enemy. When Mine’s eyes widened as he rushed at Minho’s suddenly increased presence, Minho twisted his waist sharply and swung his sword.

    The large and heavy sword tore through the air, drawing a rough trajectory.

    Nang-Adobeop (狼牙刀法) Non-call castle (flying 虎出城).

    Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!

    “!”

    There was no need to use strength. It was possible to grind the first stone stone with just the pottery that was made. Mine could not even scream and his whole body disintegrated.

    Patter…

    Steaming organs and blood were belatedly scattered in the air.

    ‘It’s reasonably useful against sewage.’

    It was a method of enlightenment that was infinitely shallow compared to the Changgung Muai sword method. Even if he succeeds, it’s a martial arts skill that I wonder if he can barely reach the top level.

    However, it was a good martial art that was interesting and easy to learn quickly.

    And because of its rough and unpolished herbivore, if it was swung with plenty of power, it could actually exert such great power against the lower class.

    “Sound the alarm! It’s an intruder!”

    “He’s not just crazy! They really came after Gokju!”

    “Bingryeongdan conduct a checkup centered on me!”

    The frantic demons moved around bustlingly, wary of Minho. However, instead of immediately swinging his sword to stop it, Minho waited leisurely for them to finish maintenance.

    In order for Baek Geon to safely steal the treasure, he needed to get as many people out as possible, including Bingma.

    ‘The guys who showed up now are all small talkers. The real ones are the ones that come out next.’

    Of course, Baek Geon also knew about Minho’s intentions.

    He was hiding and watching Minho’s battle.

    ‘amazing… Standing alone against the demons… ‘

    Baek Geon was secretly impressed as he controlled his breathing and killed his presence.

    There was no other reason why he decided to follow Minho’s risky plan more easily than expected. This is because I wanted to follow in some small way the accomplishments of his execution.

    Baek Geon watched right from the side as Minho, who joined the Namgung family at the same time as him, became stronger. From his perspective, Minho had something that couldn’t just be called talent. There were times when his brother-in-law trained hard and achieved mediocre results, and at other times, he suddenly achieved tremendous growth overnight.

    “Didn’t you say you would freeze me to death? On the contrary, it feels hot when I wield the sword!”

    ‘The fighting zone is not normal either.’

    The way he casually crushed his enemies in a nonchalant manner seemed skillful. As the elders of the family once inadvertently shared, it was a confident feeling that made me wonder if the blood of the royal family really flowed. The tone in which he spoke about his enemies’ shortcomings was not vulgar at all.

    Baek Geon, who watched the scene for a moment, came to his senses when he saw demons rushing out from inside the palace.

    ‘Oh, this is not the time to just watch. Let’s move quickly.’

    Baek Geon has no idea about the structure of Bingeumgok. This meant that we had to search every nook and cranny for possible supplies. If I didn’t finish the work quickly, there was a risk that things would go wrong in various ways, so I had to move slowly.

    While watching Minho deal with the demons’ examination for the last time, Baekgeon slipped into the inside of Bingeumgok’s palace.

    ***

    Sigh!

    I cut down one more demon from the approaching Ice Valley. He was a guy who jumped out at the checkup, taking advantage of the loophole I had shown on purpose.

    There were already so many demons lying on the floor.

    “Kaaak!”

    “Die!”

    “Keuuu… ”

    Demons who fell down after being stabbed in a vital spot or having two or more of their limbs cut off groaned. They were the ones who kept attacking me for no reason, even if one of my limbs was cut off.

    When on earth has the Demonic Cult ever been attacked like this?

    Although the Jungwon Martial Arts and Magyo had a hostile relationship with each other, there were many obstacles that prevented the Martial Arts from flocking to Cheonsan. The biggest problems were distance and supply. There is no way it would be easy for so many people to move around to start a war with the Demonic Cult.

    They probably thought they were safe within Cheonsan Mountain, which was their home base. There are things about me that are strong, but that’s probably why I can’t keep up with a single expert like this.

    ‘Now these guys will know what it feels like to have your house robbed.’

    I watched as the demons of Bingeumgok formed a firm examination.

    The demons of Tuma and Suramun were literally crazy about fighting. There was no such thing as a plan or strategy, or it was only one-dimensional, and they were just people who focused on fighting individually and spilling the blood of their enemies.

    However, the demons of the remaining seven tribes seemed to be different from that. That was the case when the Binggeumgok mine members organized the checkup. Basically, it was a move that did not rule out the possibility that they were the underdog.

    ‘That’s fun.’

    The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

    It was my first time dealing with a prosecutor from the perspective of a strong person.

    I faced the completed examination head-on.

    Kwaang——!

    “Stop it!”

    “Take it! Poke the gap!”

    “What, power… !”

    The examination was a big surprise. Some demons gave up trying to fight back. Then, he instinctively realized that if he even escaped the examination, his head would be taken off in a single stab. The demons of Bingeumgok seemed to be generally very patient for a demon.

    I muttered a simple sentiment.

    “Tough.”

    “Tough… And?”
