“Mother’s… keepsake? Child of Hryeong?”

Jin Song-baek’s voice trembled.

It wasn’t enough to show the plaque and now there was mention of a keepsake from my mother, so his heart shook.

It was then–

An intense light shone in the left eye that was covered with an eyepatch. I quickly turned the head to the side.

Chak!!

At that moment, a sharp feeling passed through the cheek along with the air being swept.

“You?”

Chun Mu-seong frowned. At that moment, when Jin Song-baek’s emotions were agitated, he was the one who quietly called the death of mine by swinging the sword with the opposite hand.

He must have thought I wouldn’t avoid it.

-The gold eye is really helpful.

I agree.

Those belonging to the Eight Great Warriors were known to have such speed and strength that normal humans couldn’t move, and being able to avoid such an attack itself was a great thing.

Chun Mu-seong opened his mouth.

“You seriously are lucky. Let’s see how long the–”

But Jin Song-baek cut off the words.

“Lord Chun. I haven’t made the decision to hand him over. The attack you did now is disrespectful to me.”

“Rude? Ha! You didn’t hear that he killed my disciple. And you are protecting that–”

“Let’s get the words right. I haven’t heard the reason why he killed your disciple.”

Chun Mu-seong’s eyes widened, and then he shook off the wrist which was caught.

He seemed so eager to kill me for the fear of me speaking out but Jin Song-baek blocked his approach.

Papak!

“Lord Jin!”

The movement of Jin Song-baek was so fast that I was shocked. Earlier he moved later than Chun Mu-seong but arrived faster.

“Get out!”

Jin Song-baek warned the impatient guy as he shouted.

“As long as I am here, you will not touch the child.”

Chun Mu-seong’s face stiffened at this, his pride must have taken the hit.

“Not touching him? Kukuku! Kuahahaha!”

Chun Mu-seong burst into laughter. His appearance which was looking so dignified when he entered had turned up like his well hidden side got revealed.

Even the warriors of the Storm Shadow Eight Classes Order frowned.

Chun Mu-seong who was laughing insanely said.

“You grew up so much, Jin Song-baek. A kid who would never say arrogant things has now climbed onto the wall.”

When he said that, he spoke without respecting the opponent. It was as if his entire attitude of handling the issue had changed.

Jin Song-baek ordered his men.

“Protect this child.”

“Yes!”

As soon as the order was given, all the warriors surrounded me. Their Lord ordered them, so they had to move.

Lee Jung-gyeom and Jin Yong who were watching this didn’t understand. Thinking this was a chance, I yelled.

“Where is she?”

At my words the guy laughed and pretended to not know.

“What are you talking about?”

“Are you fine with your secret being out?”

“Secret?”

Everyone looked confused at the word secret.

Chun Mu-seong’s eyes narrowed.

“You are provoking me till the end.”

“Tell me where you kept her. Unless you want your secret out.”

I had to use what I could to find out where Baek Hye-hyang was. If she hadn’t lured the guy to save him but sacrificed herself, then she must be kept around and this was my only chance to save her.

“What do you mean by her? Lord Chun?”

Despite Jin Song-baek asking, Chun Mu-seong didn’t answer.

I didn’t reveal any secret but I spoke of a woman, a possible warrior being imprisoned by one of the Lords of the Dual Martial Forces.

The more I opened my mouth, the more honor he lost.

At that time he glared at me and then smiled strangely.

I thought he was cornered so what more did he have up the sleeve?

Chun Mu-seong said.

“I caught and imprisoned the descendant of Blood Demon who broke into the place, but you are asking me to release her, what relationship do you have with her?”

‘…?!’

Hearing that she was a descendant of Blood Demon, everyone was agitated again. I felt nervous…

I didn’t think he would use this.

The fact that she did her best and used a technique of the sect meant she was caught.

-He is really something.

The guy was smiling like he had the upper hand.

“The imprisoned girl is in the tower. After capturing a descendant of Blood Demon, how can I just release her?”

“Is that true?”

At Jin Song-baek’s question, the guy said.

“Why would I lie to you? I can show it if you want. Wouldn’t it be possible to find out by looking at the origin of her internal qi?”

‘She is imprisoned in the tower?’

He was speaking the truth like he was innocent.

Chun Mu-seong pointed the finger at me.

“I kept thinking it was strange that you were trying to save her, so you must be a member of the Blood Sect.”

In an instant, everyone looked at me, even the eyes of those asked to protect me were doubting if they should.

The man truly had a mind as good as his martial arts.

But he also didn’t know that I existed. I said.

“This is embarrassing. That woman who was forcibly imprisoned by a senior escaped through twists and turns along with me. You caught her, who helped me and since I ask you to release someone who showed kindness to me, you are accusing her of being a descendant of the Blood Sect?”

“What?”

“I never dreamed that the Martial Heavenly Sword Emperor would lie this well. Speaking of which, I didn’t kill your disciple either, right? I remember that your disciple got crushed by the collapsing cave because you were in a hurry to save yourself alone.”

“You bastard!”

I grinned at him. Lies weren’t something privy to only him.

-How many years you were a spy! How dare he try this with you!

Short Sword said and the guy’s face had turned red like it would burst.

He was provoked right, but the guy was a skilled one.

Perhaps because he was a warrior who was pretty skilled, he was good at controlling the emotions, so he calmed the anger and continued.

“I might have disagreements in the forces, but we are all brothers who are of the same time. So do you not believe the words of the Lord of an order and trust the lies of a kid?”

At this, I shook my head.

“It is funny how you are speaking of trust when you are still lying to everyone.”

“You!”

Chun Mu-seong pushed his sword at me but Jin Song-baek moved to stop it.

Chakkk!

Sharp sword slashes appeared on the ceiling. Certainly, the only one who could go against this man was Jin Song-baek.

Jin Song-baek, who blocked Chun Mu-seong, asked.

“And what is this lie?”

“You!!!”

Pat!

Chun Mu-seong somehow managed to break through the defense and arrived at me.

His form blurred at the speed and he appeared everywhere to divert the attention but then Jin Song-baek managed to be right where he would attack.

Papak!

When the two fought, it was like everything was being pushed back. The aftermath was so great that the warriors with weak internal qi were thrown back.

Papapk!

It was blurry to normal eyes but even the qi in the body was ringing.

‘This is a showdown between those who have crossed the wall of strength.’

It seemed that the aftermath would grow bigger and bigger as the fight between superhumans increased.

In response, I shouted.

“This man is not the real Martial Heavenly Sword Emperor. The real one was locked up.”

Papak!

As soon as the shout ended, the two people fighting backed out.

Chun Mu-seong’s expression distorted as he was glaring at me like he wanted to skin me alive.

“He isn’t the real one?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Then he is fake?”

It seemed like everyone was shocked. It was a natural reaction for their side, but this, the warriors who were protecting me, knowing the person in front of them wasn’t the real one, was a huge hit.

And it was hard to believe too.

Chun Mu-seong glared at me like he would kill me and said.

“A lie. Do you really trust those words? Would I be a fake? What is this nonsense?”

“Not a lie.”

“Not a lie? Then, if you are right, someone defeated a person who is like me, one of the Eight Great Warriors and took the role to act? You think it is possible?”

It did. The man was trembling now.

He was trying to keep his cool but it was no different form already lighting the fuse to the bomb.

I made a request to Jin Song-baek.

And I pointed to the left and said.

“I knew you would make excuses like that, and when I escaped from the basement I brought the real person. See.”

Chun Mu-seong laughed at me when I said it.

Of course he did..

The cave collapsed fast so he must have moved the real one elsewhere.

Standing at the place I pointed to was Jin Yong, the grandson of Jin Gyun, who looked shocked.

“I-I have nothing to do with this.”

Of course you don’t.

Because I was just pointing aimlessly.

Not intended but Chun Mu-seong didn’t expect it.

“Why are you not looking at me?”

At that, the face of the man hardened. It was because everyone expected him to look at where I was pointing.

“What are you talking about? I looked too.”

The guy said. Of course he did.

Then Jin Song-baek added.

“I wonder. When I heard the request of the child, you didn’t even avert the eyes from him. Are you saying I saw something wrong?”

‘…?!’

Chun Mu-seong’s expression changed.

A small trap which I set.

“That…”

Jin Song-baek didn’t end there.

“There is something I wanted to ask.”

“…?”

“The plaque the child showed earlier. Do you not remember?”

‘Ah!’

Jin Song-baek pointed out one fact.

If he was the real guy he should have recognized an order which once belonged to the forces. Others might not know, but if it was just 20 years back then this guy was in his prime age.

Of course, then he should have noticed the plaque I displayed.

“Forgotten but didn’t know.”

“I am…”

“If you are not Martial Heavenly Sword Emperor, who are you?”

Everyone’s turned there. He trembled at this, rather than shock, it was close to anger.

‘The light is getting bigger.’

The qi was rising within his body.

Shhh!

At this, Jin Song-baek appeared and said.

“Do not move too much for me.”

At that moment, Chun Mu-seong suddenly burst into madness.

“Kuahahaha!”

Then it led to a laugh of an insane man.

“How dare bugs try to throw ash onto the finished rice!”

He raised the sword.

Jin Song-baek took the stance ready to respond at any time. Chun Mu-seong pointed somewhere and drew something with the sword. And a sharp wind moved, splitting the walls of the tower.

Chacha!

The walls had holes in it, revealing the outside of the tower. What was the point of doing it?

And then came the shout.

“Shoot!”

“Woaaah!”

It was a sound from below somewhere.

Could this be a signal for something?

I could hear the sound of metal and it seemed like a fight had broken down. It seemed like the warriors of Martial heavenly Order who surrounded the place.

Chun Mu-seong had a fishy smile.

“I was planning to handle this quietly, but because of you, I got to speed this up.”

‘…’

This guy was right.

This guy had to be the one who killed Jin Song-baek.

Jin Song-baek shouted.

“This is war!”

Chun Mu-seong snorted.

“Huh. It has already begun. The war will end when everyone inside this tower dies.”

“It seems like it.”

Goooo!

A tremendous force rose from the body of Jin Song-baek.

Not to be outdone by this event Chun Mu-seong did the same.

The vast energy generated by the two made my heart thump in anticipation and weigh us down.

Chun Mu-seong said like he wanted me to listen.

“Did you think the signal was to attack you?”

“No”

“Will you die first or that girl?”

Damn it.

The signal was to kill Baek Hye-hyang.

“You will probably die first.”

Chun Mu-seong approached as creepiness began to fill in.

Jin Song-baek told me.

“I don’t know who the woman you are trying to save is, but I can handle this place.”

“Uh?”

“There is nothing sadder than losing a relationship. Go.”

Pat!

As soon as the words fell, Jin Song-baek moved for Chun Mu-seong.

The two collided.

When such warriors above the normal level collided the wind was pushing everything back.

The two moved in to collide several times.

Kwak!

Watching this I bit my lip, I looked at the wall that the guy had slashed first. And went down it.

Without hesitation I decided to jump down.

Outside it seemed like the bottom was a mess.

Chachachang!

People were already clashing down here, one who was pushing in and the others who didn’t want to let them.

It seemed high from above, but it was more high when I looked down. The height of 8 floors wasn’t small to jump down at once.

It seemed like it had to be done. And right then I heard the shout.

“I said I would kill you first!”

The voice of the fake guy. When I looked behind, he was coming for me, that too, fast.

In response I hurriedly jumped.

The fake guy too threw himself at me. He laughed.

“Foolish guy. Calling your own death.”

Was it possible for a warrior who reached the level of Great Warrior not to catch me? He extended the sword at me.

He wanted to kill me in the air.

“Die!”

Search tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w for the original.

“Can you walk on air?”

“What?”

“Thank goodness.”

I twisted my body and extended the left hand to the outer wall of the castle.

At that moment a silver string emerged from the hand and tied itself around the structure.

Chahhh!

When I used the internal qi, my body was pulled around and I moved.

‘….!?’

Seeing this scene, the face of the fake guy was distorted. Even if he was a warrior considered as a great one, would he be able to use the legendary mythical technique of footwork on air?

As expected, his body descended.

“YOUUUU!”

As if trying to get rid of me before he fell, he tried to throw the sword. I guessed that he was angry with me.

Desperately trying to kill me.

“Where!”

At that moment someone else jumped out of the tower.

It was Jin Song-baek. He jumped down and his image was blurry to follow.

And like that the afterimages moved from, Fist, Palm, Kick, Fingers to Toes, Claw, Blade, Sword and Spear.

All of them were things this order would teach.

‘Hah!’

The true value of one who was within this Order.
