Chapter 51

As night fell, the lights on the island went out one by one.
Sigh.
There was a black shadow, cloaked in darkness, running toward the center of the island.
I was a puffy snowflake dressed in a tight-fitting nightgown.
“This is the Blood Yin Society.
After a long drive to the center of the island, the snow flurries blinded me.
Dozens of pavilions had been erected in rows and dozens of red-cotton robes were worn by church members.
‘I said it was an unjust reward for the dynasty.
Recalling Maun’s explanation and what she’d seen in the booklet, she quickly scanned the interior of the Blood Yin Society.
Though he had never been taught stealth, he moved with the stealth of a seasoned killer.
Extremely fast.
The divine law of saving money, created by Gowol, who was a great martial artist, and the sharp but cautious personality of Bu Eun-sul combine to create a ghostly movement.
Towering.
After skimming past several pavilions, it suddenly stopped moving.
Under the opposite pole, I noticed a middle-aged man standing and talking to someone.
His eyes were very dark under his eyes, and his lips were red and thin. It looked like a grim-looking viper masquerading as a human.
“Stone Tablet.
That snake-like middle-aged man was the vice-president of the Blood Yin Sect, the Black Saber Seokjung.
‘indeed…….’
Buunsul narrowed her eyes as she watched the stone circle in the distance.
A piercing gaze that seems to see through the darkness. And an aura of razor sharpness radiating from his entire body.
One look at him and I knew he was a master.
Plus, it’s the headquarters of a bloodsucking cult. If we make a mistake, we’ll be spotted before we even get close.
“I should really try my hand at being a janitor.
I’ve already been ambushed more times than I can count in Hell.
Among them were those who attempted assassinations in bizarre ways, and trainees in the deadly art of killing.
“First you have to find the best place to ambush.
The first thing to consider when memorizing is location.
If you ambush in the wrong place, you might get counterattacked, and you can easily call in allies.
“Sure, let’s do that.”
Then, as if they were done talking, the other party left, and Sukjeong went back inside the hall.
Eek.
Unleashing the Divine Law like a ghost, Bu Eunseol quietly entered the hall of stone.
‘This is…….’
I walked down a long hallway and saw a staircase leading down to the basement.
As I cautiously made my way to the bottom of the stairs, I could smell the medicine stinging my nose.
“This is.
As we moved deeper into the basement, we saw a large stone room.
To one side was an armory with weapons, and all around the room were large jars that could fit a man inside.
That was the jar in which elixirs were made and aged, used by the Blood Yin Society to perform magic.
‘It’s a great place for an assassination.
It’s where the elixir is stored, so no one outside of the Betrothal Party can enter.
In addition, the enclosed basement meant there was less chance of noise escaping.
“Good.
Bu Eunseol slowly ran her hand over the single killing sword on her back.
Assassination attempts are like extreme combat practice. You need to pick the right time and opportunity, and if you miss, the consequences can be irreversible.
“This is where we handle it.
By this time, Seokjeong was looking all over the jar.
There was never a better time for an assassination.
Grabbing her killing blade, she approached near the back of Seokjeong’s head, where he was examining the jar, and was about to thrust a blow,
“……!”
Suddenly, Buunsul’s pupils dilated, and time seemed to stand still.
His sharpened beast senses detected something falling from the ceiling.
Pods.
Without even thinking about it, you swerve to the side to avoid it,
Papapap!
Dozens of sharp kangjeons pierced the bluestone floor where Buunseol had stood.
“I can’t help it, those bastards.”
Seokjeong smiled as she looked at the jar where Buunseol was hiding.
“Why are you using this place as a raid site, like you promised?”
Hearing that, Bu Eun-sul realized something.
‘Gurye…’
Seokjung has survived eight assassinations so far.
He’d known all along what the assassins coming in here would do.
“Come on out. There’s no way out anyway.”
Buunseol, who had been hiding from Seokjeong’s words, slowly came out.
He was right, there was no way out since we were already blocking the exit.
“This one’s quite young.”
Seokjeong said as she stared into Buunseol’s eyes, which were revealed through the mask.
“Old or young, your ways are the same: always sneaking on incoming ships, looking for an opening, and then trying to assassinate me when I get here.”
Looking at Bu Eunseol, who had bowed low, Seokjeong put a hand to one forehead and sneered.
“That’s why we’ve even installed an organ here that can detect them. So we know when a rat gets in.”
‘It was.’
Seokjeong is always running into the same foes at the same place because of the obvious assassination spots.
He had set up a device to detect the lurkers.
“This is a problem for the old guard.
Only then did Buunsul realize what was wrong with Gusaldae.
They do not know each other’s factions or identities, only the tasks assigned by the branch. This was a good way to hide their identities and secrets, but it was an inefficient way to accomplish their goals.
We don’t share information with each other, so we can repeat the same mistakes. Like right now.
Growl.
Instead of the black sword strapped to her waist, Sukjeong picked up the large sword in her armory.
“Murderers like you take their own lives when they have no choice.”
With a cruel smile, he spoke again.
“The struggle of the desperate killer. It’s as addictive as opium, heh heh.”
Seok-Jung wants to take care of the snowfall herself, without alerting anyone to the break-in.
‘The sea you hoped for.
The assassination failed, but the fight was won.
Drawing one of the two killing swords she wore on her back, she walked forward to the front of the stone circle.
Wham!
Then he unsheathed his sword and stabbed her in the neck.
It was an instinctive killing weapon, adapted from the Hua Wu Thunderbolt Swordsman’s style of swordplay.
“Ho-ho.”
Realizing that Bu Eunseol’s sword technique is quite stable, Seokjeong looks surprised.
“That’s not the sword method used by the killer bastards.”
Laughing softly, he held up his clenched sword as an interruption.
“Stop this.”
Similar.
Black sand-like flesh enveloped her entire body as she unleashed her dao.
The Black Sabbath. A decade in the making, this is the first book in a series that showcases the full range of his stanzaic verse.
Bam!
Sparks flew as the sword and dao clashed.
Before I started practicing the inner circle method in earnest, I was overwhelmed by the demands of my career and took a back seat.
But now, Bu Eunseol’s defense has caused Seokjeong to take two steps backwards.
“The kid’s got some serious chops.”
Surprised by the level of Buunseol’s hollow, Seokjeong unleashed the Black Saber Method with all his might.
Whirrrrrrr!
The layers of torches preempted all possible directions of movement for the frozen snow.
At the same time, it was a relentless, unrelenting assault on the swollen tongue that left no room to breathe.
Podpod!
Blood stains appeared on Bu Eunseol’s body as she fended off the Black Saboteur.
“That’s weird.
He blocked the blade accurately, but strangely enough, the tip of the blade extended by Seokjung was touching his body.
“Once again.
This time, as he slashed at her head, Bu Eun-sul slowly extended her sword, forcing the weapons to collide.
Whip.
But the gemstone’s spin seems to disappear halfway through, and then it slashes at his shoulder again.
“I see.
A knife grazed his shoulder, and his swollen eyes flashed open.
“You’re transforming herbivory in the middle.
It looks like you’re aiming for the head, but you’re aiming for the shoulder. Slash at the waist while pretending to stab the chest.
Hype.
The Black Sword of Shijiazhuang was a kind of altered sword, or rather, altered sword, that created an afterimage to dazzle enemies and deceive the enemy.
“This is the difference in experience.
Even if you’re a master of deception, you don’t have the luxury of being able to bluff your way through a life-or-death situation.
It’s a trick that’s only possible because he’s survived so many enemies.
“I need to steal that secret.
Buunseol’s sword grass, which he had been observing for a long time, began to change.
He would change the number of moves he was making, sometimes stopping them abruptly, sometimes poking in the wrong places like a madman, and his offense would slow down a little.
“That’s not a great technique.
Bu Eun-sul, who mimicked the Yonshin Black Sado method, was disappointed.
However, this is not true.
When learning to use a sword, it is important to have your instructor slowly demonstrate the sword movements that can be used in practice.
However, she has mastered the Beast Dao and has an innate sense of combat.
Even in the midst of battle, he was picking up the stonecrystal’s sword lines as naturally as water flows.
“This guy?
Seokjeong felt a chill run down her spine as Bu Eunseol began to imitate her Black Saber methods.
“You’re going to imitate my methods when you don’t know when your neck is going to fall off?
Seokjung twisted the tao.
“He’s going to be a pain in the ass!
Shhhhhhhh!
Changing his tactics, he unleashed a barrage of attacks without a single pause, relentlessly pressuring Bu Eunseol.
“Let’s try this!”
With a thunderous shout, Shi Zheng’s dao intensified.
Thirty seconds later, another red patch began to form on Buunsul’s body.
‘This is what it’s like to fight the strong…….’
The only person Bu Eun-sul has ever competed against who is higher up the ladder than her is Go Goong-pyeong of Baekmasa.
Even then, it was more of a test to see if I could get the first bite, not a real fight.
However, Seokjeong’s dao was not a test, and she used it relentlessly to cut off Bu Eunseol’s breathing.
Whirr, whirr, whirr!
It’s not a martial art, it’s a storm of herbs.
However, Bu Eun-sul used her beastly abilities and her unique combat sense to defeat them one by one.
Seokjeong shouted in annoyance at Buunseol, who looked like he was about to collapse, but held on to the end.
“Inoom! Are you going to keep running around like a rat!”
Boom!
At the same time, he stomped hard on one of the bluestone slabs on the floor.
The mnemonic machine in this basement chamber has been reactivated.
Shhhhhh!
Thirty-six needles rained down from the ceiling, staggered in time to hit the snow.
Self.
In the next moment, Bu Eunsul’s body blurred, and a strong needle swept through his body.
In one fell swoop, he changed direction a whopping thirty-six times.
Pow!
But Seokjeong’s dagger grazed Buunseol’s forearm as he took advantage of the opening.
Jurrrrrr.
Seokjung clicked her tongue in satisfaction.
“Hmph, I can see the Grim Reaper behind your back!”
Ding! Shush-shush!
As Seokjeong activated the tarred needle tube one after the other, the holes in Buunseol’s defense gradually became apparent.
Bu Eun-sul swung her sword with all her might, but there was no way she could break through the Black Saber Method and mortally wound Shi Zheng.
“I think I’ll use a lightning bolt.
Currently, Bu Eunseol’s strongest fatigue is the Lightning Bolt of Tian Yun Guang.
However, it is extremely draining on your strength and endurance per cast.
Furthermore, it was a sword style that could put you in danger if you didn’t get the kill.
“Let’s apply what we’ve learned about no-schooling.
Xiao Zhen’s Thousand Blades, Qi Yun’s Focusing Technique, and Handan’s Heavy Blade.
Isn’t the whole point of applying to the Gusalbande to master these three no-semester methods and bundle them into a single unit?
Bam!
That’s when the sword and dao clashed and sparks flew.
Seeing the loophole, Seokjeong seized the opportunity and slashed Bu Eunseol’s shoulder again.
Pow!
The splash of blood jolted her awake, and she realized something.
“He’s not trying to kill me!
