Chapter 67

Meanwhile, the Dragon Phoenixs waiting outside were almost in despair.

The sounds of fighting and screams could be heard from inside the tent.

The men smirked as they looked at the tent. They had no idea that the source of the sound was the Yin Demon Insect.

The women covered their ears. They were all in despair, thinking about what was about to happen to them.

Of course, not everyone was.

Heuk-hwa (Black Flower) and Cheol-sin (Iron Trust) exchanged glances, planning how to deal with the men around them. As the situation was dire, they couldn't rely solely on Jeok Leegeon. They were cautious. The martial arts of the men surrounding them were not to be underestimated.

Meanwhile, Sa Ma-yeong, who had given up on everything, had lost her usual smile. The most talented woman in Jianghu? She couldn't even handle these villains. It felt like an empty title.

Sa Ma-yeong, who was staring blankly in one direction, was startled.

From the place where swords and sabers were piled up, one sword and one saber floated into the air. She blinked, but they were definitely floating in the air.

Surprised, she looked around, but no one else had seen it yet.

Whoosh.

With a whistling sound, the sword and saber flew towards the tent.

Only then did the masked men hear the sound and look around. The sword and saber disappeared so quickly that only Sa Ma-yeong had actually seen the scene.

"Kihihhihihihihi!"

A strange sound came from inside the tent. Not only the men but also the Dragon Phoenixs covered their ears. It was the wail of a ghost. A dazzling light burst out from inside the tent.

With a final, horrific scream, the tent fell silent.

Belatedly regaining their senses, the masked men rushed into the tent.

They burst into the tent.

"Are you alright?"

The Yin Demon Insect stood before them. Jeok Leegeon stood to one side, and Jeong Charyeon sat on the bed, covering her ears and closing her eyes tightly. The other two were asleep.

At first glance, everything seemed normal.

The scarred man said with a flustered expression.

"We heard a strange noise. We apologize."

It was then.

Thud.

Roll.

The head of the Yin Demon Insect, who had been looking at his subordinates with a pale face, rolled to the ground.

Soon after, the Yin Demon Insect's body shattered and crumbled.

"Aaaagh!"

Even the battle-hardened masked men recoiled in horror.

Jeok Leegeon, standing behind them, smiled grimly and said.

"Welcome to the real hell."

It was a frightening and unfamiliar feeling.

It was like standing alone in a wasteland where a huge whirlwind was raging from all directions.

The sound of the wind was the wail of ghosts devouring human souls.

Kihihhihihihihi!

She covered her ears tightly, but the sound still came through. The faint wail in the silence made Jeong Charyeon even more terrified.

What was happening?

"Aaaaaaaagh!"

The screams of men could be heard.

Jeong Charyeon closed her eyes even tighter. She was afraid. She felt like if she opened her eyes, she would see a terrible sight. But deep down, a desire to open her eyes and see what was happening was rising.

In contrast, the men facing Jeok Leegeon were overwhelmed by the opposite desire.

The men's bodies were frozen stiff. A huge killing intent ensnared their bodies like a spiderweb. The martial arts they had learned all their lives were useless. They wanted to scream in fear, but they couldn't even utter a short groan.

They wanted to close their eyes tightly. But the men couldn't even do that.

They were completely trapped in the net of killing intent.

A red glow appeared in Jeok Leegeon's eyes. Jeok Leegeon's low but chilling words flowed into the men's ears.

"Rape... steal... kill..."

His voice resembled the wail of a ghost.

"You didn't think this day would come, did you?"

Whoosh--

Jeok Leegeon's saber cut through the air.

Thud! Thud!

One man's body shattered and scattered.

Kihihhihihihihi!

Was it because it had tasted blood? The saber began to wail even louder.

"Aaaaaaaaaa!"

The men screamed in terror. But no one could move.

A smile appeared on Jeok Leegeon's lips.

It was the smile of a demon.

More terrifying than any scary scene the men had ever seen.

Whoosh--

Kihihhihihi--

The saber created a new line in the air. Each time, a scream followed without fail.

The men pleaded in their hearts.

They would rather die sooner.

Eventually, unable to resist the temptation to open her eyes, Jeong Charyeon squinted, and what she saw was all red. It was blood. The walls and floor of the tent were all stained with bright red blood. Jeok Leegeon stood alone in the sickening stench of blood.

It was Jeok Leegeon's back, so unfamiliar.

"...Leegeon..."

I'm scared.

Jeok Leegeon turned around.

The eyes of the two met. Jeok Leegeon's eyes were eerie, filled with intense red energy.

Kihihhihihihihi!

The saber in his hand wailed frighteningly.

Jeong Charyeon felt like her heart was stopping.

I'm scared.

Just as she was about to close her eyes tightly again, Jeok Leegeon's frightening eyes slowly began to change. The red energy in his eyes disappeared. And a warm and affectionate energy began to replace it.

As if nothing had happened, Jeok Leegeon smiled brightly.

"I told you not to open your eyes when I'm fighting. You'll have nightmares."

He had said that to her before. That if she saw him fighting, she would have nightmares. That joke was true.

Jeok Leegeon looked down at the large saber he was holding and added as if making an excuse.

"When I draw this, I can't control myself."

Kihihhihihihihi.

The saber wailed again, making a ghostly sound.

"It's because I haven't completely made it my own yet."

"...Then don't draw it."

Then Jeok Leegeon stared silently at the saber and smiled faintly.

"This is my mother's unique weapon."

Jeong Charyeon was startled. That such a terrifying saber was used by a woman. Then what about the sword?

"That's right. The sword is my father's unique weapon."

Jeok Leegeon looked at the sword hanging behind his back and smiled sadly.

"I will conquer the world with my mother's weapon."

"Leegeon..."

"I won't draw the sword."

It was a strange feeling.

Why was he carrying his father's weapon, which he wouldn't even draw?

Jeok Leegeon, who had been serious, soon smiled brightly and said.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

What if the person who had created this sea of blood was not Jeok Leegeon?

No matter how justified the killing of those who deserved to die was, she would have shuddered at this cruelty and never wanted to see him again.

And this terrifying scene today would become a nightmare she could never forget.

But because it was Jeok Leegeon,

Because it was Jeok Leegeon who was looking at her with such a warm smile,

She was confident that she could overcome it.

She could now clearly hear the faint sound of the wheel of fate beginning to turn in earnest.

Jeok Leegeon had definitely entered her destiny.

Or vice versa.

Exactly one hour later.

A new person was standing in the place where the two had been facing each other. It was Yoon, who was in charge of the practical affairs of the Dragon Phoenix Gathering.

Yoon was forcibly suppressing his nausea.

It was the first time he had ever seen such a terrible sight. The inside of the tent was a sea of blood. The flowing blood had completely stained the area around the tent red, and severed limbs and organs were scattered everywhere.

Unable to bear the disgusting and frightening feeling, Yoon ran out of the tent. He was able to calm himself down only after taking several deep breaths. He had lived his whole life as a Martial Artist, but it was the first time he had ever seen such a horrific sight. He couldn't even tell how many people had died?

'Why did this happen?'

Yoon really couldn't understand. He had heard the news that an accident had occurred on the island where the third checkpoint was located, and he really hadn't imagined that such a sight would be waiting for him when he came here with his subordinates.

It was the worst situation. Not only the examiner Yeom-chung, but also all the instructors under him had been killed.

The faces of the Martial Artists collecting the bodies were serious. The dead were well-known experts even within the Northern Sky Hegemon Clan. They really couldn't have imagined that they would be wiped out.

Yoon looked around. The surviving Dragon Phoenixs were resting in groups of three or five around him. The fact that they had survived when Yeom-chung and the instructors had all died seemed quite surreal.

At that time, the ship carrying Bong Suchan, the chief of the Dragon Phoenix Gathering, arrived late.

Yoon ran to meet him.

"Have you arrived?"

Bong Suchan got off the ship with a serious expression.

"What's the situation?"

"It's the worst."

After letting out a sigh, Yoon added.

"There are no survivors."

"What!"

He shouted in surprise, but at that moment, Bong Suchan was forcibly holding back a smile. He was the one who had orchestrated this whole thing from behind the scenes.

But soon Bong Suchan's expression hardened.

He had confirmed that the Dragon Phoenixs were alive far beyond Yoon's shoulder.

"You said everyone was taken down?"

"Ah, the dead are Sohyeop Yeom and the instructors."

"What? They're all dead, but the Dragon Phoenixs are safe?"

"Yes. And all the intruders who seemed to be the intruders are dead too."

Bong Suchan was inwardly startled.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Yes?"

Yoon looked puzzled at Bong Suchan's reaction. He should be asking about the well-being of Im Ha-gi, the heir to the Northern Sky Hegemon Clan, first.

But soon Yoon understood Bong Suchan. He was the person in charge of the Dragon Phoenix Gathering. He had to take responsibility for today's situation, so he couldn't be in his right mind right now.

'Well, you and I are both finished now.'

Hiding his inner thoughts, Yoon said calmly.

"Right now, the Young Clan Leader is..."

He was trying to let Bong Suchan know who he should take care of first by mentioning Im Ha-gi, but Bong Suchan's interest was in a completely different place.

Bong Suchan interrupted Yoon and asked urgently.

"Where are the bodies of those guys?"

"They're inside the tent, but there are hardly any bodies that can be identified."

Bong Suchan hurriedly entered the tent.

Bong Suchan frowned at the stench of blood that stung his nose.

As Yoon had said, the inside of the tent was a mess. Bong Suchan slowly looked around.

And he found a familiar head.

'Yin Demon Insect.'

Bong Suchan stared at his terrified eyes and let out a low groan.

'...He's completely terrified.'

Bong Suchan couldn't understand.

The Yin Demon Insect was a better expert than Yeom-chung, who was the examiner.

The Martial Artists he had sent with him were also more skilled than the instructors.

On top of that, they had launched a surprise attack, so the deaths of Yeom-chung and the instructors were inevitable.

'But?'

Why was the Yin Demon Insect dead like this?

Bong Suchan hurriedly came out of the tent. He asked Yoon, who was waiting outside, urgently.

"Who killed them?"

He asked with a doubtful heart, but Yoon's answer was shocking.

"It's Sohyeop Yang."

"What?"
