◈ Episode 76. Military Merit of the Army
While they were excitedly discussing the day’s events, Jinmu-rip, sitting cross-legged at the entrance to the cave, was contemplating his inner self.
‘The Great Law of Gisinbongjin.’
This is the great law that the master inscribed to prevent the balance of yin and yang from being disturbed as the body grows.
Jinmu-rip recalled the situation during the day.
The unexpected fusion of two energies is clearly different from anything I have experienced before.
‘Master said that when the two energies become perfectly one, the Great Law will be released. Then… … .’
It is certain that the lifting of the ban is approaching.
A strange excitement is followed by a little bit of anxiety.
If you gain new powers, you will need time to adapt to them, because you never know in what situations the Great Law will be unleashed.
‘Master clearly said that the day the Great Law is released will be the day when the blind spots of the Heavenly Yin Body are completely erased. I wonder what will happen.’
Jinmu-rip, who was smiling, got up from his seat.
In the vast sandy field outside the cave were hundreds of unkempt corpses.
The most intense battle since entering the precinct.
Although he was the one who made the plan, it would have been difficult to achieve such perfect success without the efforts of his colleagues.
In particular, if Kang Yu-wol, Dang-cheon, Yoo Dae-ha, and Yu Gong-myeong had not been able to stop the Blood Guardian, someone would have definitely lost their life.
They fought better than expected.
“Before we go back to the window… … there’s something I need to make sure of.”
The Bloody Madman’s laboratory has been closed, but the mission is not over until we return to Sacheon.
There was something I had to check first before taking the next step.
As we entered, our colleagues sitting in front of the campfire gave us welcoming looks.
Danryehwa said.
“We’ll take turns, so take a break.”
“No. I have some work to do.”
“What do you want to do?”
Jinmu Rip looked at the army commander and said.
“How are you feeling?”
The army commander shrugged and said.
“Not bad.”
“Come out. I need to get rid of the body.”
“okay.”
As the army commander rose, the two women also rose.
“We’ll help too.”
“Okay. It’ll be over soon, so just rest.”
The quick-witted Dan Ryeo-hwa realized that he wanted to talk to Army Name alone.
And I can guess what you’re trying to say.
“Jin So-jeo. I think it would be better to leave it to the two of you and wait. There are patients inside.”
Jin Seol-ran nodded at Dan Ryeo-hwa’s words.
“I see. Someone must be there for you.”
Jin Mu-rip, who brought out the army, began to remove the sand.
Army Commander, who dug the ground and looked at the corpse, stuck out his tongue.
“There really are a lot. It’s an unbelievable victory.”
“We can’t overlook the fact that there was help from the Bloody Night Maniac.”
Even though they were surrounded, over fifty enemies were killed by just two Blood Knights.
The fact that even those who were exhausted from fighting among themselves in an imperfect state were able to achieve such results means that it will be even more difficult when the finished product comes out.
The army officer asked.
“Is there really another place like this?”
“I think so.”
“If the finished product enters Sacheon, it will be a truly fierce fight.”
“It’s not that hopeless.”
The army commander chuckled.
“Your words are somehow easy to believe.”
What Jinmu-rip was hoping for was the secret weapon he had brought from the testing ground.
‘If it’s Madorim, then it might be possible to interpret it.’
It seemed quite possible, having branched off from the same root a long time ago.
If we study their weaknesses, we might be able to find out what they are weak to.
‘I’ll think about this later… … .’
Jinmu-rip, who had gathered his thoughts, began to move the corpses one by one.
When about five large holes were filled in, Jinmu-rip opened his mouth.
“Army name.”
“huh?”
Jin Mu-rip, who was looking at the army commander with a strange smile, opened his mouth slightly.
[Who taught you the martial arts of the Palhwangmun?]
At that moment, the army commander’s expression hardened.
‘How about that?’
He had never used that martial art in front of others.
Black Martial Arts is not a martial art that leaves any traces.
The army commander’s expression softened and he spoke calmly.

“What does that mean?”
Jinmu Rip picked up the Hwanyeondaewon’s Tao that was rolling around on the floor.
“It’s no use complaining.”
A slowly moving sword draws a picture in the air.
The army commander’s eyes widened.
‘What on earth is this guy?’
The trajectory drawn by Jinmu Rip’s sword was the perfect black Martial Arts Sword of the Black Wall.
A martial art in this world that only you and your master should know.
‘No. There might be one more.’
The army chief asked softly, his eyebrows furrowed.
[What is your relationship with the dead Palhwangmunju?]
The Palcheonyeongsingong learned by Palhwangmunju is a divine art that compiles the martial arts of the Eight Stars.
Anyone who has mastered it will surely know the basics of the Black Martial Arts Sword.
“Don’t get involved with that idiot.”
Jin Mu-rip, who was aiming his sword at the army commander, had cold eyes.
“I won’t ask who taught you. What was your purpose in joining the Sacheon Alliance?”
What Jinmu Rip is worried about is the actions of the Palhwangmun, who caused a bloody disaster in the past.
Having planted people in every faction in the world, they have endured for a long time until Sejak ascended to a high position.
There was even a man who concealed his identity and rose to the position of leader of a sect.
Since it was the Palhwangmun’s method to use them to cause chaos in the martial arts world and then wage war, it was inevitable that they would ask about the Army Command’s intentions.
The army commander collected his thoughts.
‘If I can unleash the Black Martial Arts Sword, at least I won’t be an enemy.’
He hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth as if he had given up.
“My master was a disciple of Do-seong. He opposed the Great War of the World, and he settled down here in Sacheon just before the war. That’s all.”
He was taken in by his master when he knew nothing and began learning martial arts.
But then I found out that it was the martial arts of those who had caused chaos in the martial arts world.
I couldn’t even ask why he taught me this martial art.
Because the teacher was the only adult who showed kindness to the orphan.
There was no big reason for joining the Sacheon Alliance.
That’s because I was working as a ronin when I caught the eye of the Sacheon Alliance and was invited to join.
Jinmu-rip asked.
“Are you saying that you had no purpose in joining the Sacheon Alliance?”
A bitter smile spread across the Army Commander’s lips.
“Can’t someone who has learned this martial art just live an ordinary life?”
The gloomy expression reveals his thoughts.
Jin Mu-rip looked at him for a moment, then turned his back.
“There is no such thing as impossible.”
Sangcheon, like the Army Name, is a group of people who wish to live an ordinary life.
There is no one in the world who can understand him better than he himself.
Unless someone had a dangerous ambition like the Great Swordsman Jong Bi-ung, there was no reason to kill them.
As Jinmu-rip moved the body as if nothing had happened, Army Commander-in-Chief spoke again.
“Is that the end?”
“You want to live a normal life, so what more do I need to ask? Live the way you want. Let’s pretend we never talked about today.”
Several pits were filled with corpses in an awkward silence.
Jinmu-rip, who had finished his work silently, jumped up to the cave entrance.
Army Commander, who was standing there blankly watching the scene, became confused.
It is suspicious that he knows the Black Martial Arts Sword, but considering the abilities he has shown so far, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Finally, he couldn’t stand it anymore and asked.
“Who the hell are you?”
I don’t think there was anyone who had any connection with the Palhwangmunju, but no one in particular came to mind.
A bitter smile spread across Jinmu-rip’s lips as he turned his head.
“He’s much more dangerous than you.”
After saying those words, Jinmu Rip disappeared from sight.
The soldier who was left alone sat down with a dejected look on his face.
“I never thought my identity would be revealed like this.”
I thought it was a secret I had to take to the grave and not share with anyone.
But after I actually confessed my feelings, I couldn’t feel more relieved.
The stars in the night sky shine so brightly that they seem to pour down.
A carefree smile spread across the lips of the Army Chief of Staff, who had the starlight in his eyes.
While the two were talking outside, Jin Seol-ran asked Dan Ryeo-hwa, who was sitting across the campfire.
“Yusojeo.”
Danryehwa, who sometimes forgot that she was using a pseudonym, quickly raised her head.
“yes?”
Jin Seol-ran said with a grateful look in her eyes.
“Thank you so much for the day.”
I don’t know how many times I’ve fought alongside Danryeonhwa and received help in times of crisis.
“If there had been no Yusojeo, the entrance would not have been blocked.”
Danryehwa smiled broadly and was humble.
“No, I got a lot of help too.”
Even though he fought at the forefront and even cut off the enemy general’s head in the end, Danryehwa did not claim credit.
Jin Seol-ran couldn’t help but be inwardly impressed by her humility, which was different from that of other reviewers.
“Are there many female masters like Sojo in Madorim?”
“Ma, is it Madorim?”
“yes.”
Danryehwa’s eyes slowly turned around.
I only stayed in Madorim for a few days, so I don’t know what kind of high school girls there are.
At that moment, reinforcements arrived for her in an awkward situation.
“Of course not much.”
A voice was heard from the hallway, and soon Jinmu-rip appeared.
Jin Seol-ran’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“Is that true? I would definitely like to visit there if I get the chance.”
“Okay. I’ll definitely invite you when I get back.”
Jin Mu-rip, who was passing by smiling, gently grabbed Dan Ryeo-hwa’s shoulder.
[You really worked hard today.]
Jinmu-rip knew very well that she had suffered more than anyone else while blocking the entrance.
Danryehwa glanced back and smiled.
[great job.]
Only now, after we said hello to each other, did I feel like the day was finally over.
The next morning, at dawn, black smoke rose across the dusky sky of Jeoksagok.
Jinmu-rip and his colleagues set fire to all the caves.
At the entrance to the canyon, a four-horse carriage and three horses were waiting to carry the wounded.
This is what the Blood Cult had prepared to move the Blood Knight to another place.
Because it was a carriage intended to transport a coffin, the interior was quite spacious.
Jinmu-rip laid Yu Dae-ha and Jo Yeong-seong on the floor covered with several layers of blankets.
“Dangcheon. You lie down too.”
Although Tangcheon’s face was in much better condition than yesterday when his blood had drained, he was still not in a state where he could move easily.
“I’m done.”
Jinseolran approached with her eyebrows raised.
“You’re not in charge here. Listen.”
She forcibly lifted the dangcheon and stuffed it into the carriage.
“What is this?”
“Stay quiet inside.”
Jinseolran slammed the door and jumped onto the horse’s back.
“song.”
Jinmu-rip, who burst into laughter, climbed onto the horse’s back.
“Sir, is it okay if I ride a horse?”
Kang Yu-wol smiled brightly.
“Don’t worry. If it gets difficult, I’ll take the carriage.”
The wound on his leg still stung, but fortunately his veins were not damaged.
Jinmu-rip smiled and shook the reins.
“Then I’ll hurry up a bit.”
The wheel rolls slowly.
Jinmu-rip and his party, with their backs to the rising black smoke, hurried south.
* * *
In the forest near Changdo.
Dang Jung-ho, who was hiding outside the cave and guarding the outskirts, discovered Yong-chu returning from Changdo.
I knew that he had talked to Dang So-so about something and left, but only the two of them knew the details.
Dang Joong-ho jumped down from the tree and blocked Yong-chu’s path.
“Why did you come to Changdo?”
“Because I want to sleep.”
“… … .”
I’m speechless at such an absurd excuse.
“You can’t have sex in a cave.”
“Are you calling that a word now?”
Yongchu asked Dang Joongho, who was frowning.
“You don’t like me?”
“You know very well.”
“Okay. Then hit me.”
Dang Joong-ho doubted his ears.
“what?”
When Yongchu pushed his face in so that he could hit him, Dang Joongho looked at him in disbelief.
“What are you doing now?”
“Are you deaf? You cowardly little punk. Did you learn martial arts to live long and prosper?”
Dang Joong-ho clenched his fist as he heard the curses coming out of Yong-chu’s mouth.
“Now I see that he was crazy. Alright. I’ll do whatever you want.”
Dang Joong-ho pulled up his internal energy and threw a punch.
Phew!
The startled Yongchu fell backwards.
“Oh my.”
Dang Joong-ho looked at his fist and Yongchu alternately and narrowed his eyebrows.
‘Oh my?’
It wasn’t intended to kill, but it was a punch that took a lot of force.
But the other person’s reaction is very different from what I expected.
Yongchu, who got up after shaking his butt, grinned.
“It’s my turn now.”
“What are you talking about… … .”
Dang Joong-ho’s eyes widened as he opened his mouth.
It seemed as if the collar of the dragon head facing me was shaking.
Kwajik!
With a terrible sound, Dang Joong-ho’s new type flew away like a kite with a broken string.
puck!
As Dang Joong-ho, who had been stuck on the rock, slumped, Yong-chu walked away, grinning.
[There’s no time to play around like that. The enemy will arrive soon.]
The voice that pierced my ear was that of Eun Su-ryeon, the leader of the Eunmu-dae unit.
Yongchu nodded and flew away with Dangjungho by his side.
