Chapter 86 : Low Pressure
I wondered if Dam Cheon-yang, the Ten Thousand Blood Poison King, was truly a crazy bastard.
"Let's talk, I said let's talk!"
I spread my hands apart.
"Na."
"Dam Cheon-yang."
"Alias?"
"Ten Thousand Blood Poison King."
I didn't know why he was answering honestly, but perhaps he was just blabbering whatever ca to mind because he was in a rush.
"Ten Thousand Blood Poison King? I guess you use poison?"
My hands moved closer again.
Dam Cheon-yang waved his hands frantically.
"I don't use it! I said I don't!"
"How did you know the escort goods were the Diamond Gauntlet?"
It was surprising that he knew what I was wearing was the Diamond Gauntlet.
– Poison King, those climbing up from below using the Wall Lizard Art are still...
"Sending telepathic ssages, I see. Is it because of those guys?"
Thump.
Whoosh!
"Aaaargh!"
Flas engulfed the area below the cliff.
What kind of martial art was that?
Spewing fire was so natural it verged on sorcery.
Just by stomping his foot, all the guys climbing the cliff burst into flas.
"...Why are you doing this to us?"
"You haven't answered my question yet."
My hands moved closer again.
"Because I heard it!"
"You heard it?"
"I received word that the escort goods the Diamond Gauntlet Escort Agency was carrying was the Diamond Gauntlet!"
"Who was the Divine Thief sending this to?"
Flinch.
The Ten Thousand Blood Poison King flinched.
The fact that the Divine Thief stole the Diamond Gauntlet was top-secret information even within the Blood Cult.
"Who on earth... are you?"
"I believe I said I would be asking the questions."
However, seeing that he had no intention of answering further, I threw the Diamond Gauntlet into the sky.
"What!"
At the sa ti, I drew my sword and swung it.
Ten Thousand Flas Shaking Heavens.
I aid for the mont his gaze was stolen by the Diamond Gauntlet.
The reddened sky crashed down on the Ten Thousand Blood Poison King.
***
'This won't kill him.'
The enemy's alias was the Ten Thousand Blood Poison King.
It ant he was a master of poison.
"You bastard!"
A dagger flew through the flas.
The tip of the dagger was likely coated in poison.
I retrieved my sword.
At the sa ti, I put the falling Diamond Gauntlets back on both hands.
And,
One step.
Diamond Fighting King Divine Fist. First Form.
Fighting King Heaven Breaking Strike!
I extended my fist toward the poison-coated dagger.
Kaboom—
The dagger scattered into dust, and the empty space force capable of crumbling the sky struck the Ten Thousand Blood Poison King.
The Ten Thousand Blood Poison King, whose gaze had been stolen by the flas, unfolded his body protection energy, but.
Crack!
His body protection energy shattered in an instant, and,
"Keuhuk-"
His face caved in.
Thud-
The corpse of the Ten Thousand Blood Poison King, which had beco a bloody ss, collapsed to the ground.
– It seems like... a fairly useful martial art.
– It looks like the martial art the Fighting King used in the past; did he co to be called one of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens?
The Sword Venerable and the Demon Queen marveled at my fighting style.
They had seen exchanging fist blows with the Fighting Venerable in the ntal World, but they hadn't expected to be able to unfold the Diamond Fighting King Divine Fist exactly like this.
"I am sowhat pleased that I can now deal with enemies even when barehanded."
On top of that,
Whoosh!
As I pushed Extre Yang Qi into the Diamond Gauntlets, flas began to flicker on my fists.
I felt that if I combined my specialty with this Diamond Fighting King Divine Fist, I could increase the firepower even more.
***
"You have returned safely."
"Who was it?"
"It seed to be a Blood Cult mber."
"Pardon? I didn't hear you correctly?"
Deung Ga-so's jaw dropped.
A Blood Cult mber?
To Deung Ga-so's knowledge, wasn't the Blood Cult a faction that had perished a long ti ago?
"It seems they have started their activities."
"Dark clouds will hang over the Jianghu."
"Well."
Whether the Blood Cult was dangerous or Hyeokryeon Geuk was dangerous.
If I had to judge which of the two was more dangerous, I would choose Hyeokryeon Geuk without hesitation.
'If the Demonic Cult is already deeply intervening in Murim.'
It would essentially be Hyeokryeon Geuk who could overturn the Murim faster.
"Can you walk a bit now?"
"It has gotten a little better."
"Let's go."
Too much ti had been wasted.
The Blood Cult mbers knew that the Diamond Gauntlet was being transported to Yueyang Tower and tried to intercept it in the middle.
That ant they also knew who was supposed to receive this Diamond Gauntlet.
'The probability of them having friction with him when Seol Ye-rin's party arrives first is...'
It seed quite high.
On top of that.
'Since it was said that Blood Cult mbers tend to target people with unique constitutions.'
If the fact that Seol Ye-rin had the Extre Yin Body beca known to more people, we had to prepare for attacks from the Blood Cult as well.
"I hope they move before that."
The Small Snow Squad alone was not yet enough to protect Seol Ye-rin.
I began to feel the necessity of forming a larger force.
***
"You failed?"
"I apologize. I have no face to show the Blood Lords."
At that ti.
An unknown secret location.
Seven n in blood-red robes gathered at a round table were staring coldly at the n in blood-red robes prostrating on the floor.
"How many tis is this already?"
"It is the second ti following the Twin Venerable."
Bang!
The man in blood-red robes sitting in the center struck the table.
The numbers placed in front of each man in blood-red robes—One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven—rattled.
"I believe everyone knows. How important the divine objects of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens are. At least three divine objects are needed for the Blood Demon to awaken."
"Calm down. Let us hear more since we need to analyze the cause of failure."
As if making an excuse, a prostrating man in blood-red robes opened his mouth.
"There was an interferer."
"An interferer? Who was it?"
"The Ice Palace."
Everyone flinched at the Fourth Blood Lord's words.
"The Ice Palace? Are you saying those guys are roaming around the Central Plains?"
"Co to think of it, the kidnapping of the Ice Palace's Young Palace Head also failed, didn't it?"
"Failure, failure, failure, failure. Just when will you succeed?"
The Blood Lords began to speak simultaneously.
Thump-
"Quiet."
The First Blood Lord silenced everyone.
"A hundred years have already passed."
At the ntion of a hundred years, the Blood Lords shut their mouths.
"It ans it's about ti... for them to co out."
"Indeed."
"Then could the one who interfered this ti be...?"
"If they obtained the Cold Snow Demon Queen's legacy, it is highly likely."
"Then all the more reason! We must gather the divine objects of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens quickly."
"But can one really beco the world's best if they gather the divine objects of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens?"
"We must not forget that the Demonic Cult and the Saphaeryeon have also begun to move."
Legends are just legends.
I know there are Blood Lords who think that way among the Blood Lords.
Even so.
Even if just to awaken the Blood Demon, the Blood Lords had to collect the divine objects.
"Their destination?"
"It is Yueyang Tower."
"If it's Yueyang Tower, that's where the Saphaeryeon is."
"That is correct."
"The Saphaeryeon Leader might be there, so is there a Blood Lord who will go? It's not a mission to kill the Saphaeryeon Leader, but simply kidnapping the Ice Palace's Young Palace Head should suffice."
"If you think it's you, you should go out, right?"
At those words, the Blood Lord with the number Seven placed before him stood up.
"I will go."
"As expected of the Seventh Blood Lord!"
"I told you there is no need to overexert yourself."
"Understood. I will bring back the Ice Palace's Young Palace Head."
Leaving those words behind, the Seventh Blood Lord turned into a stream of blood and vanished.
"Other Blood Lords should also report imdiately upon acquiring information regarding the Ten Venerables under the Heavens."
"Let's do that."
Whoosh- Whoosh- Whoosh-
Watching the Blood Lords disappear in an instant, the First Blood Lord looked at the man in blood-red robes prostrating on the floor.
Tremble tremble.
The man in blood-red robes, who slowly raised his head with trembling eyes...
Smirk.
The mont he saw the First Blood Lord's smile.
Splash!
He transford into a handful of bloody water.
***
Hunan Province, Yueyang City.
The Ice Palace's Young Palace Head's party entered Yueyang City.
"The person we were waiting for... is not here as expected."
"It seems... the probability of them arriving later than us is high."
"Will you go straight to Yueyang Tower? Or do you intend to go to an inn and take a rest...?"
At Baek Mu-yong's question, Seol Ye-rin looked back at the Divine Physician.
Because undoubtedly, the one with the highest fatigue from the long journey was the Divine Physician.
"Are you alright, Elder?"
"You don't need to worry too much about . Cough, cough."
Since falling from the cliff, the Divine Physician's physical condition had been getting progressively worse.
"I think it would be better to rest for now."
"Let's do that."
"So-dong and I will go to Yueyang Tower and check if the Captain is there."
"Would you do that?"
"Yes, understood."
Watching Baek Mu-yong and Yu So-dong walk away, Wi Ji-yeong and Tae Un-seo began to look for an inn.
Seol Ye-rin looked back at the sky while watching them.
It had only been two days since she separated from Hyeokryeon Yeom.
But why did the emptiness feel so great?
"Are you alright?"
If it weren't for Cheon Deung-jin constantly asking if she was okay and checking her condition from the side, Seol Ye-rin might have fallen into despair.
Crackle-
–Growl!
Tamya, who was in her bosom, squird.
Whenever Extre Yin Qi rose up, Tamya absorbed the Extre Yin Qi.
Thanks to that, she didn't have to worry about freezing again or feeling pain.
"Thank you."
Patting Tamya, Seol Ye-rin looked around Yueyang City.
Dongting Lake was visible wherever her gaze landed.
The lake, blue like silk, was glistening in the sunlight.
Although not as much as Hubei Province, the bustling crowd was vibrant.
– Young Palace Head.
At that mont, Eun Bin's telepathic ssage was conveyed.
— They say they secured an inn, let's go quickly.
"Okay."
The inn Wi Ji-yeong and Tae Un-seo secured was the 'Yueyang Inn'.
Since checking the Divine Physician's physical condition was the priority, Seol Ye-rin and Cheon Deung-jin secured a room and laid the Divine Physician on the bed.
"Tsk tsk, you guys are suffering because of an old man."
"No, Divine Physician. It seems like it's because we insisted on stopping by various places, so once Young Master Hyeokryeon joins us, let's go straight to Namman. You must et your granddaughter!"
"Thank you, Jin."
"I'll go get a physician."
"Ah, I also..."
"Jin should stay and look after the Elder. You need soone's hands. I'll be back."
Watching Seol Ye-rin leave quickly, Cheon Deung-jin muttered.
"...Will she be alright?"
"Tsk tsk, who are you worrying about?"
"No, I'm not worrying about the Young Palace Head."
If by any chance there were street thugs approaching Seol Ye-rin in Yueyang City.
They would be frozen helplessly.
Because currently, Seol Ye-rin was in such low pressure that cold air blew fiercely just by being near her.
Please let there be no incidents.
Cheon Deung-jin hoped earnestly.
However.
As if mocking Cheon Deung-jin's hope.
"...Move."
Street thugs who had 'I am a martial artist belonging to the Unorthodox Faction' written on their faces began to surround Seol Ye-rin.
