Chapter 26 - Diancang Treasure Red Seal
“Eheheh.”
A man wearing a suspicious mask rubbed his palms together and looked at the safe.
Anyone would see it as a thief delighting in his stolen goods.
Who, upon seeing this thief, would think he was the ‘World’s Fastest Sword’ of the past?
“What do you an, a thief! What’s wrong with the Diancang Sect’s Number One Sword taking what belongs to the Diancang Sect!”
Biyoung, who had shouted at the sky, looked down at the safe again.
“I have to finish this before Grandfather wakes up.”
It was still a long way until dawn, but the situation was better than under the new moon.
Biyoung, lest soone snatch it away, placed the safe right next to him and circulated the Profound Heaven's True Energy Unification Art.
Seuseuseuseu…….
He hadn't particularly wasted his internal energy in the process of taking the safe.
This wasn't about replenishing his lacking internal energy, but a process of drawing up the true energy within his body.
To cut through Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron, a simple Sword Aura was not enough.
Biyoung, who had finished circulating his energy, licked his lips and scratched the back of his head.
“Tsk. Just like when I opened the stone gate. I’ve been overexerting myself a lot lately.”
If possible, he wanted to use his strength only within the permitted range.
His internal energy was improving by leaps and bounds without him needing to overdo it.
The spotlessly pure Dantian, Hyeokri Chong's spiritual dicine, and the Diancang Sect's secret art, the Profound Heaven's True Energy Unification Art, were all intertwined, causing his internal energy to grow day by day.
But, today, that wasn't enough.
“My Dantian won’t last at this rate because of this damn sect! Aaargh!”
Biyoung once again vented his frustration at the sky.
No matter if all the masters had disappeared.
How could a perfectly fine prestigious sect of the Nine Sects One Union be ruined overnight?
If at least a few guys had remained, he wouldn't have had to resort to thievery or overexert his internal energy!
Sect Leader.
That’s why I told you we should leave one or two people at the main mountain.
They weren't much help in battle anyway!
Biyoung, who had been fuming for a mont, soon closed his eyes and focused his mind.
“Heup.”
Wooooong!
With Biyoung’s short cry, the Diancang Sect’s sword responded.
The gradually brightening dawn.
A halo of light resembling it blood on the sword.
If a passing martial artist had seen it, they would surely have been astonished.
A boy who still looked young was activating Sword Aura.
But.
Biyoung’s final goal was not Sword Aura.
“Haap!”
Internal energy burst out from his Dantian like a waterfall.
So much so that he worried his Dantian would soon be completely empty.
It was the largest amount in Biyoung’s entire life.
Jureuk.
A trickle of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
He was starting to have problems as he was drawing and using internal energy beyond his limit.
Biyoung clenched his teeth and focused his mind.
He had never used this with his current body, but the sensations of the past remained fully intact.
Woooong…….
Instead of expanding the white, shining Sword Aura, he pushed it back into the sword.
The internal energy created in Biyoung's Dantian beca Sword Aura, and was then sucked back into the blade.
The unique secret art of the Diancang Sect that distinguished it from other sects.
Now, after 15 years.
It was about to bloom in this world again.
Woooong…….
The sword began to make a strange crying sound.
The blade, which had been shining white, turned as black as jet.
It was as if all the darkness that had taken root the previous night had been concentrated and contained in the sword.
Vacuum Sword.
The martial art of the Diancang Sect, infamous for its notoriety, had finally returned to the world of Jianghu.
Bureureu.
The sword held by Biyoung continued to vibrate finely, as if it had co to life.
A very small tremor that would be hard to feel unless you were the user, Biyoung.
But it was a Sword Vibration that was said to make even the masters of Jianghu turn pale once it was revealed.
Jureuk.
This ti, a nosebleed trickled down Biyoung’s philtrum.
Biyoung held onto his fading consciousness and focused his mind.
No matter how much he had cleared the Conception and Governor Vessels, activating the Vacuum Sword at this stage was a very dangerous thing to do.
The reason he could even imitate the Vacuum Sword like this was thanks to the experience he had accumulated through countless real battles in his past life.
He couldn't instantly execute the Vacuum Sword due to a lack of internal energy, but if he flowed his internal energy in like this, one stitch at a ti, he could eventually create a similar form.
‘It only needs to be once anyway.’
Biyoung gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee in front of the safe.
All his energy was gathered in the blade, to the point where his body staggered with that small movent.
Bureureu.
A na given because it was said to cut through space.
Biyoung tightly gripped his trembling hand and swung one arm with all his might.
Finally, the Vacuum Sword cut through the middle of the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron.
Sarak!
Hard iron.
Not just hard iron, but the incredible Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron.
Since a sword and iron had collided, a sharp sound that would make one's ears ache should have been heard.
But a soft friction sound that was unthinkable for cutting iron tickled his ears.
At the sa ti, as if on cue, the doors of the safe opened wide.
If Jang Pae had seen this sight, he might have foad at the mouth and wailed, “Tha-tha-tha-that!”
The safe, which hadn't even been scratched after being struck hundreds of tis with that huge sword, had opened so easily.
“………….”
Biyoung, who had confird that the door was open, slowly closed his eyes.
He was extrely curious about the contents inside, but for now, healing his internal injuries was the priority.
“Ulk!”
Not long after executing the Profound Heaven's True Energy Unification Art, dark red blood flowed out in streams.
It was a very precarious sight, but Biyoung's face looked rather relieved.
“Good thing I wore the thief outfit. If I had worn the new clothes Grandfather got , I would have had to throw them away imdiately.”
Fortunately, it wasn't to the extent of damaging his Dantian or his innate true energy.
Biyoung let out a sigh of relief, thinking he had gotten off cheap.
Sothing he couldn't have even dread of without his past life's experience and his innate talent.
It was a good thing he used it to open the safe; if it had been a real battle, he would have been pierced by a sword before he could even bring out the Vacuum Sword.
Biyoung vowed not to use the Vacuum Sword for a while and picked up the safe.
What on earth was inside this?
What was in it that it was wrapped in Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron, more expensive than a thousand gold pieces, and buried deep in the ground?
“Hm?”
The inside of the safe was simpler than he thought.
A few books and a folded piece of paper.
And a small wooden box was all.
Because the contents were so modest, the inside felt empty despite the safe not being very large.
Biyoung, who had checked the inside, frowned.
“Gold trinkets! Where are the gold trinkets!?”
The safe felt light, so he had a bad feeling, but the things Biyoung wanted were nowhere to be seen.
Where did all the shiny things go, and what was with these scraps of books?
“No! If you were going to go through all the trouble of making it, you should have stuffed it with so expensive things!”
Biyoung spouted words that would have made the Sect Leader faint if he heard them, and took out the things inside the safe.
And soon, Biyoung, who had confird the titles of the books, lit a torch in his eyes.
“!”
