Chapter 11 (Abandoned Disciple of Heavenly Demon)

---

Episode 11: Ambush (2)

Bang!

Dong Yoon naturally thought that he would be able to pierce Jin Myeong’s back. Because he saw Jin Myeong being distracted by his subordinates.

But rather than piercing, Dong Yoon’s black sword was blocked, too easily.

“How on earth…….”

Dong Yoon was speechless as he watched Jin Myeong simply block the sword with his fingers. He felt ashamed. Jin Myeong who was known to have ‘body abandoned by god’, who was famous for being unable to internal energy, now could blocked his sword by fingers. With only fingers.

Doon Yoon didn’t expect, that there would be this much of a difference of strength between them. No, he simply didn’t want to admit it.

“How could he become this strong”, he couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s just an ordinary martial art”, Jin Myeong said, despite being socked himself. That’s when he remembers.

[Heavenly Demon Divine Finger is a technique that shoots out internal energy like a gun. But also involves ordinary techniques for training the fingers to make them stronger and then attacking.

It is to block the enemy’s sword with fingers, which could become hard as iron, or to pierce the enemy’s body.

And Heavenly Demon Divine Finger Art could also be used like any other ordinary method.]

“Ordinary technique…….”

Dong Yoon couldn’t agree with that.

The technique by which Jin Myeong used to blown up his subordinate’s head in one fell swoop was unique, but the fingers that were blocking his sword now looked even more special.

In particular, he couldn’t help but keep looking at Jin Myeong’s fingers, which were wrapped in pure white flames.

“Where did you get such great martial arts skills?”

“Hmm. Thanks to you guys, I got it from where I was hiding.”

Dong Yoon’s eyebrows twitched at Jin Myeong’s words.

“Ugh!”

At the same time, Jin Myeong’s fingers began to push away his sword. Dong Yoon bit his lips and put strength into his sword, trying his best not to be pushed back.

“Are you greedy for my martial arts skills?”

Jin Myeong could sense the greed in Dong Yoon’s eyes.

“But can you get it from me? With this kind of skill?”

Dong Yoon’s lips twitched at Jin Myeong’s words, but he couldn’t open his mouth easily.

Because the moment he opened his mouth, Dong Yoon felt he would lose all his strength and be pushed away by Jin Myeong.

“Are you weak or am I strong?”

Unlike Dong Yoon, who was biting his lips and pushing the sword with all his might, Jin Myeong looked very relaxed.

“Weak?”

Dong Yoon asked himself, controlling his anger. He had reached the peak of his power after eating the Dragon Elixir.

Dong Yoon, whose pride was hurt by Jin Myeong’s words, began to put his inner strength into the sword.

Woof!

And soon, a dark blue energy began to swirl around Dong Yoon’s sword.

“It’s really over now.”

Since he was using the sword, he had to kill Jin Myeong as quickly as possible. Even though he ate the Dragon Elixir, it wasn’t enough to maintain his sword energy for a long time.

“How dare you ignore me when I have reached my peak!”

Jin Myeong extended his index finger towards Dong Yoon who was running towards him. And soon, Jin Myeong’s internal energy was shot towards Dong Yoon’s forehead.

“Fuck!”

Dong Yoon had already seen his subordinate’s head explode after being hit by a mysterious energy beam.

That’s why Dong Yoon immediately raised his sword as soon as he saw something grey flying towards him.

Bang!

At that moment, when he felt a tremendous impact on his hand, Dong Yoon eventually fell backwards, unable to overcome the power of Heavenly Demon Divine Finger Art.

“Uh?”

Dong Yoon sat on the floor and blankly looked at the sword he was holding.

‘Where did it go wrong?’

The sword that was supposed to be long was broken. It was clearly his sword wrapped in internal energy, but it could not withstand Jin Myeong’s attack.

“Kwaaak!”

Then Jin Myeong’s sword flew in, pierced Dong Yoon’s right thigh, and stuck in the floor. Dong Yoon screamed and reached for the sword with trembling hands.

“Ugh.”

He tried to pull out sword’s blade, but the Jin Myeong’s sword, didn’t budge, it remained stuck in the floor.

“Just keep doing that.”

Jin Myeong turned his head, leaving Dong Yoon behind. The masked men were still there, held back by his swords.

‘You’re blocking it well.’

Because he was so concerned about Dong Yoon, he couldn’t properly handle the sword against the masked men.

Although he couldn’t kill the four black masked men, he was able to hold them off quite well.

‘Why does it feel easier to deal with this person than with me?’

It was strange that he was able to deal with the masked men so easily, unlike when he had dealt with Dong Yoon using the Heavenly Demon Sword Control Technique.

Even when he was not paying attention to the swords properly.

‘Hmm. Is it because of that black aura?’

The difference from when he fought Dong Yoon was that his swords were burning with pure white flames.

‘I think I understand why there are so much craze about internal energies.’

Just by wrapping the internal energy around the sword, its power changed. He wondered how much power would increase; if he used Sword Energy, which is stronger than the internal energy.

‘There are definitely more…’

How nervous he was when he first saw those masked men. But he felt like an idiot for being so nervous.

‘Aren’t they helpless against swords, which I can’t even control properly?’

Phew! Phew!

Jin Myeong began to concentrate on moving his sword again. The four swords, excluding the one embedded in Dong Yoon’s thigh, began to move nimbly.

“Huh!”

The swords began to attack the masked men with sharp movements, unlike before.

“Ugh!”

And then, the pure white aura began to pierce through the bodies of the black masked men.

Bang!

The masked men also tried to block it with their swords, but Jin Myeong’s sword cut their swords with ease.

“Whoaap!”

Among them, there were those who used the corpses of their comrades as shields to approach Jin Myeong.

Because the bedroom wasn’t very spacious, the flying swords had limited movement, and they took advantage of that weakness.

“You should have come a little earlier.”

Jin Myeong smiled and extended his index finger at the two masked men who had somehow approached him.

Puck!

Jin Myeong blasted the head of the masked man who had come closest to him with his sword right before their swords could make contact.

“If that were the case, there might have been some possibility.”

The body that had lost its head and fallen could not hear Jin Myeong’s words anymore. Perhaps, if they had approached while he was fighting Dong Yoon like this, he would have been flustered as well.

“Ugh!”

The masked man left alone bit his lip as he watched his comrades losing his head next to him.

Of course, he too, wanted to approach Jin Myeong. However, while he was flustered, a flying sword killed him. Dong Yoon was already subdued. Dong Yoon, looked around him, thinking:

‘An easy mission?’

‘How can it be an easy mission to kill Jin Myeong, who is slaughtering them like this without moving from his spot?’

Fuck!

Jin Myeong, who had finally burst the heads of the two masked men, approached the him, looked around again.

Phew!

The four swords quickly flew through the air, piercing the bodies of the injured masked men and returned to Jin Myeong.

‘That’s ridiculous’, Dong Yoon blankly stared at his falling subordinates. He didn’t really understand what was going on.

“Ugh.”

A few of his men were seen lying on the floor, trembling, but most of them remained motionless.

Phew!

Jin Myeong grabbed a sword in the air and began stabbing the necks and heads of the fallen masked men one by one.

Jin Myeong was killing the fallen masked men without any hesitation.

“Ugh!”

Dong Yoon’s spine tingled as he met Jin Myeong’s eyes. For the first time, he felt fear against Jin Myeong.

‘Did he become crazy? Why is he laughing like that?’

It was because of the smile on Jin Myeong’s lips. The sight of him smiling brightly in a bedroom full of corpses seemed insane.

“Your Majesty! Are you there?”

At that moment, someone’s voice was heard outside the bedroom.

“You’re coming quickly. Come in.”

The person who came running because of the commotion in Jin Myeong’s bedroom was none other than Yang Jeon.

“Why on earth did you call me, especially at late night…….”

Yang Jeon, who was frowning and spitting out words full of complaints, could not continue. It was because of the corpses strewn about in Jin Myeong’s bedroom.

“Oh, what the heck is this?”

“What the heck, they’re the ones who tried to kill me.”

Yang Jeon swallowed hard and began to remove the masks from the masked men.

“What do you think? Do you know anyone?”

“I don’t.”

As Yang Jeon said that, he immediately looked at Dong Yoon, who was still living alone.

“Why did you keep this man alive?”

“That’s right. Why did I keep him alive?”

Yang Jeon approached Dong Yoon, looking at Jin Myeong as if he found it strange. Then Dong Yoon swung his broken sword at the approaching Yang Jeon.

“Eww! Didn’t you already subdue him? Why is he still resisting?”

Yang Jeon hurriedly stepped back and shouted, but Jin Myeong was still lost in thought.

“No, what makes you think so?”

“Huh? No, I was just wondering why you kept this guy alive.”

“No, is it that important?”

Although Yang Jeon shouted, Jin Myeong still stared at Dong Yoon, who was unable to move, with his thigh still stabbed by the sword.

“Hmm. I really don’t know. Maybe I wanted to extract information.”

Did he keep him alive because he thought he would be able to find out the identity of the person who ordered his assassination?

“Did you actually just want to give me despair?”

Jin Myeong killed all Dong Yoon’s men, right before his eyes. While, he couldn’t even move properly.

Dong Yoon, who had naturally thought that Jin Myeong would be killed, was speechless at the situation that occurred, its completely reverse.

“Hmm. Yeah. That’s right.”

When all hope disappeared from his eyes, Jin Myeong was so happy that he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Young Master!”

“Why?”

Jin Myeong, who was reaching a conclusion, frowned at Yang Jeon’s question.

“You were curious, right? That’s why you thought seriously about the reason.”

Jin Myeong said that and approached Dong Yoon. Dong Yoon swung his broken sword again at the approaching Jin Myeong.

Bang!

But his attack was blocked too easily by Jin Myeong’s index finger.

“Ugh!”

Dong Yoon tried to stab Jin Myeong with his sword somehow, but his sword was caught by Jin Myeong and did not move at all.

“Are you going to subdue me?”

“Hmm. Should I try?”

Jin Myeong reached out his hand toward the acupuncture point he had seen in Heavenly Demon Divine Finger’s secret section.

“Wh…What are you trying to do!”

Dong Yoon looked puzzled as he watched Jin Myeong reach out his hand.

“It’s annoying, so I’ll try to subdue you. I’ve never done it before.”

Jin Myeong thought he’d give it a try since he had a good test subject right in front of him.

“Wait a minute! Aren’t you curious? Who ordered Young Lord to be killed?”

“Okay. Tell me.”

Dong Yoon swallowed hard when he saw Jin Myeong stop his hand.

“Your Majesty, Heavenly Demon.”

“I see. But I don’t believe that.”

Dong Yoon’s eyes began to shake as he saw Jin Myeong’s hand moving again.

“No, I didn’t tell you!”

“Can’t anyone just say anything? By the way, it was Elder Martial brothers, right?”

Dong Yoon’s eyes, which had been wide open, instantly returned to normal. Jin Myeong noticed that he was just blurting out random words.

“That’s it. It’s not hard to say someone’s name. So, I just use it as a reference, but I don’t completely believe it.”

Jin Myeong chuckled.

“Do you have any evidence?”

“Something like that…….”

There’s no way. Especially, it would be impossible to leave any information about such a secretly delivered mission.

“So, I don’t believe it.”

Jin Myeong said that and put his hand on Dong Yoon’s acupoint and pushed in the inner energy.

“Ugh!”

At the same time, Dong Yoon’s pupils rolled upward.

He started to tremble and then fell backwards.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Where on earth are you pointing?”

In response to Yang Jeon’s question, Jin Myeong pointed to the place he had pointed to.

“Where is this?”

“Hmm. I thought he was easy to subdue?”

“You managed to subdue him. Very easily.”

Dong Yoon’s movements, which had been trembling on the floor, had completely stopped. Yang Jeon looked at him and then shook his head.

‘The suppression that the first Heavenly Demon spoke of and the suppression I thought of are different.’

The subjugation that the first Heavenly Demon spoke of was to completely kill the opponent.

The suppression that Jin Myeong had in mind was the kind of suppression that would truly make it impossible for the body to move.

‘Is that why this guy was so in a hurry?’

He knew that the direction that Jin Myeong’s hand is pointing is not an ordinary blood vessel, but a vital blood vessel.

‘I guess I’ll have to study things like demon blood and blood from martial arts separately.’

Jin Myeong saw Yang Jeon taking off Dong Yoon’s mask.

“Do you know who it is?”

“I don’t know him. Would you like to me send him for investigation?”

“That’s true. Anyway, you need to clean up the bedroom.”

Jin Myeong pulled out the sword that was holding Dong Yoon’s thigh in place and lay back down on the bed.

“Yes? Are you going to sleep here?”

“Why can’t I? Just clean it all up before I wake up.”

Jin Myeong said this and lay down on the bed.

Yang Jeon’s eyes began to waver as he watched Jin Myeong fall asleep so quickly.

‘What kind of person is that? Is this really the person I know?’

Yang Jeon looked at Jin Myeong with suspicious eyes and then looked at the scattered corpses. Eventually, he couldn’t hold back the sigh that burst out.
