Chapter 119 : Chapter 119

Chapter 119. Are We Cursed or Something (5)

“If it’s a deal, there must be something given and taken.”

What would he offer, and what did he intend to demand?

The Unit Leader replied with a faint smile.

“Hahaha. Is there really a need for giving and taking between us? It’s enough if you just run wild in the Unwol Sect's territory like before and don't invade our Black Heaven Sect's territory.”

It would be troublesome if the conversation ended this quickly.

Of course, just talking to trash made my tongue feel like it was rotting, but I needed to prolong the conversation.

Because the ship my comrades were on had not yet reached the vicinity of the island.

No, it wasn't just my comrades; the Azure Stream Escort Agency and the latter-generation disciples were the problem.

If they continued to be exposed to the rain of arrows, casualties would start to pour out before they could even fight properly.

So, I was pretending to have a conversation, a so-called deal, with this trash.

Therefore, ending the conversation now was troublesome.

Wondering if there was any pretext, I turned my head and looked around.

Among the trash surrounding the area.

I could see piles of gold and silver treasures, and also the figures of women with their hands and feet bound.

Looking at that sight, I felt like I was about to have a seizure.

As I struggled to hold back my hand that was unknowingly trying to reach for the Restoring Name Sword, the Unit Leader asked with a bitter smile.

“Hoh. Is the Ghost Sword Young Master also interested in such things?”

Did he notice that I was looking at the treasures and the women?

If so, that was for the better.

“I’m overflowing with interest. Are those things collected here at the Dragon King Fortress? Or are they provided by the Black Heaven Sect?”

“Huhu. The gold and silver treasures there were collected by the Dragon King Fortress, and the women were prepared by our Black Heaven Sect. But this is rather unexpected. I thought you weren't very interested in wealth or women.”

As I was about to answer the Unit Leader’s question, a shout erupted from behind.

“Stop at once!!”

The ship of the Azure Stream Escort Agency was slowly approaching. The pirates were shouting at it.

A crisis where my plan could come to nothing.

Above all, if the effort of talking to these trashy bastards became meaningless, it would be quite unfair in many ways.

While I was pondering what to do about this.

“Choose now. If you don’t want to see the bastards on that ship turned into arrow skewers.”

Thanks to the Dragon King Fortress Leader’s reaction, a plan came to mind.

“Hahahaha. Unlike your appearance, you’re quite a coward.”

Before the Dragon King Fortress Leader, whose face had turned red at my provocation, could open his mouth, I spoke to the Unit Leader.

“How long do you intend to deal with a coward like that? How about entrusting this place to us instead? The Yangtze River is a border area with the Unwol Sect to the south, so we will block the Unwol Sect from here.”

And then I turned my head again, glanced at the treasures and women I had seen earlier, and added.

“It seems we could also make various other deals on the side.”

At my proposal, the Unit Leader puts on a troubled smile. At the same time, the Dragon King Fortress Leader shouted.

“Lower your bows!”

When the pirates showed a bewildered reaction, the Dragon King Fortress Leader shouted even more fiercely.

“Are you daring to defy the Fortress Leader’s command now!!”

Only then did the pirates who were aiming at the ship lower their bows.

The Dragon King Fortress Leader glared at me as if to kill me and said.

“How dare you covet the Fortress' territory. Pathetic fool. Did you think I would be afraid of mere brats like you!”

I managed to hold back the sneer that was about to come out.

It was as expected.

It was a reaction befitting a coward who built a fortress on an island and hid.

I knew because I had dealt with many pieces of trash of this type.

Originally, people are bound to have a seizure when the thing they are least confident about is pointed out.

Since that bastard was a coward, I thought he would overreact to being called a coward.

Only then did the Unit Leader open his mouth with an awkward smile, as if to mediate.

“Ahem. Please calm down, Fortress Leader. Young Master, your words were also excessive. This is strictly the territory of the Dragon King Fortress. So, how about setting up a base in Hunan instead?”

Although Hunan was Unwol Sect territory, it was also adjacent to the Black Heaven Sect’s territory.

“If you set up a base there, our sect will prepare various gifts for you, Young Master. Hahaha.”

I also responded by painstakingly imitating his vile smile.

“Gifts prepared by the famous Black Heaven Sect. I am quite curious as to what they might be.”

“You can look forward to it.”

“It’s not about looking forward to it, tell me exactly what they are now. How can you just gloss over it so vaguely when you don’t know when a person’s mind might change.”

Talking to trash made my mouth and tongue feel like they were rotting.

I was at the point where I wanted to slaughter the trash and, while I was at it, rip out my own rotten mouth.

After struggling to calm my anger and talking for a while.

Before I knew it, the ship of the Azure Stream Escort Agency had reached the vicinity of the island.

“Good. Then the deal is sealed.”

It meant that there was no longer any need to hold back.

“But do you know what?”

“What is it?”

“Haa. You’re a needlessly talkative bastard.”

I grinned at the Unit Leader who asked with a puzzled expression and the sighing Dragon King Fortress Leader and said.

“A deal is something done between people. You trash, who are less than beasts.”

And there was only one thing to do to trash.

“There’s a lot of trash to clean up today!”

Fwoosh!

I threw myself at the two trash leaders with all my might.

“How dare you, you brat!!”

“Tsk. You’re reckless because you’re young.”

The two pieces of trash swung their weapons at me in return.

“Charge!!”

No. Trash was rushing in from all sides.

Was it because I had continued to talk to the trash while controlling my body that was about to have a seizure?

As if my mysophobia, pushed to its limit, had flared up again, a crazy laugh burst out.

“Hahahaha!”

While the Dragon King Fortress Leader’s Heavenly Painted Halberd and the Restoring Name Sword clashed, the Unit Leader closed in from the side and swung his blade.

I took a step to dodge and simultaneously swung my sword to the right.

Slice!

The neck of the pirate who was approaching from that side was cut off, and a fountain of blood shot up.

“Hahahaha!!”

The feeling of my pent-up frustration being relieved, if only a little.

I couldn’t be satisfied with just this.

Dozens of trajectories embroidered in the air.

I moved through their gaps and swung my sword like a madman.

Slice!

Slice!!

After slaughtering the trash that had gathered around me for a while.

A ridiculous sight entered my eyes.

“Hahahaha.”

Because the trash filling the area was blocking the way, the Dragon King Fortress Leader and the Unit Leader couldn't even swing their weapons properly.

Slice!

After killing a few more, only then did the idiotic fake Lu Bu and the Unit Leader shout.

“You guys just go kill the ones on that ship!!”

“Stand back!”

At the shouts of the Dragon King Fortress Leader and the Unit Leader, the bastards who had rushed in hastily retreated.

At the same time, a familiar voice was heard from behind.

“L-Land! I-I’m not dizzy anymore!!”

It seemed Nam Geon had finally set foot on the island.

My anger had subsided to some extent.

I entrusted the minor trash to my comrades and focused on the Dragon King Fortress Leader and the Unit Leader who were approaching, flanking me from the left and right.

The Dragon King Fortress Leader, approaching from the left, suddenly swung his Heavenly Painted Halberd in the air.

At that, a crescent moon-shaped spear qi flew at me.

As soon as I dodged by bending my upper body forward, a single trajectory was embroidered from the side.

A single blade swung by the Unit Leader who had closed in in an instant.

I threw my body to the side by using the Eight Trigrams Flying Stream Steps to its fullest.

Since I had dodged the attack from the right, my body was naturally heading to the left.

“Die!!”

The Dragon King Fortress Leader, who was waiting there, shouted like a valiant general and thrust his Heavenly Painted Halberd.

Clang!!

The moment I swung the Restoring Name Sword back to block it, the Unit Leader, who had already caught up, swung a second time.

Individually, their skills weren't that bad.

Honestly, a few months ago, it would have been difficult to face even one of them.

But now, it wasn't that burdensome.

It wasn't just because my skills had improved.

Swwwaaaaeeek.

The moment the Unit Leader’s blade reached close range.

The trajectory visible in the air changed.

I forcefully twisted the angle of the Restoring Name Sword, which was in contact with the Heavenly Painted Halberd.

I deflected the opponent's force according to the subtlety of yielding.

Screech.

With an unpleasant scraping sound, the path of the Heavenly Painted Halberd was twisted.

In accordance with that, I twisted my upper body, and the Heavenly Painted Halberd, which had barely grazed my side, clashed with the Unit Leader’s blade.

Clang!!

Aiming for that moment, I took a step forward.

After instantly closing into the Dragon King Fortress Leader’s range, I once again swung the Restoring Name Sword.

The Dragon King Fortress Leader, who had hastily retrieved his Heavenly Painted Halberd, retreated and blocked the Restoring Name Sword with the spear shaft.

Clang!!

“Keuk…”

His posture had collapsed. Aiming for the moment he let out a faint groan, I consecutively thrust the Restoring Name Sword.

Slice!

Wounds instantly accumulated on his body.

Although blood was spreading, unfortunately, it was not a fatal wound for now.

“Unit Leader!!”

Earlier, he had acted like a valiant general, but now he cowardly and shamelessly requested help.

The Unit Leader, who had hastily run from behind, swung his blade at my back.

It was what I wanted.

The moment the Unit Leader swung his blade, I used the Lazy Donkey Rolls on the Ground technique, and the Unit Leader’s blade headed for the Dragon King Fortress Leader.

Clang!

While the Dragon King Fortress Leader hastily blocked that blade with his Heavenly Painted Halberd.

I rolled on the ground and swung my sword at the Dragon King Fortress Leader’s left ankle.

Slice!

Unfortunately, I couldn't cut off his ankle completely.

But seeing the blood gushing out, it seemed it would be difficult for him to walk comfortably now.

“Damn it!!”

Looking at the Dragon King Fortress Leader who was spitting out curses, a sly smile flowed out.

From the beginning, those two did not belong to the same force.

They must have never once in their lives launched a pincer attack together.

On top of that, with my special eyes, it wasn't difficult to make the situation even worse.

Because if I used the trajectory I saw in reverse, I could make them attack each other as much as I wanted.

It meant that a situation worse than them attacking one by one unfolded.

And since they were both trash, it was obvious they wouldn't fully trust their opponent.

Just like when the Blood Fist Golden Ghost had formed an alliance with me.

“Hehehe. You look like a senile old man.”

Speaking of Blood Fist Golden Ghost, something suddenly came to mind.

It was also thanks to that Blood Fist Golden Ghost that the ship my comrades were on could reach the island so easily.

Because I had formed an alliance that was not an alliance with him, the Black Heaven Sect Unit Leader had proposed a deal.

It was a case of the old man who was of no help at all when fighting Hyeok Ilso becoming a great help after he died.

“Ah ah. As expected, trash is only beneficial to the world after it dies.”

I gained another great enlightenment today.

“So you guys should also die for the sake of the world.”

I closed in on the Dragon King Fortress Leader, whose one leg was half-crippled.

Clang!!

The Dragon King Fortress Leader, with a frightened face, hastily swings his Heavenly Painted Halberd.

And every time the Unit Leader swings his blade to help him.

Screech.

By deflecting or dodging it, I made him attack the Dragon King Fortress Leader in reverse.

Slice!

“W-What on earth are you doing, Unit Leader!!”

Aiming for the moment the idiotic Dragon King Fortress Leader was getting angry at the Unit Leader in reverse, I used Azure Heaven's Hidden Smile.

The neck of the bastard who was just blaming others was cut off.

Slice!

Having dealt with one piece of trash, I took a step towards the remaining trash.

At that, the Unit Leader spoke with an awkward smile.

“Ahem. The Dragon King Fortress has fallen. How about doing business here as we discussed earlier?”

I wondered if he had gone mad.

As I took another step, he rolled his eyes here and there and kept running his mouth.

“I-If you sheathe your sword here, I-I will let this matter go. I-If you make an enemy of our Bl-Black Heaven Sect in addition to the Unwol Sect, it w-will be difficult to survive.”

I had no memory of hitting that bastard’s head, yet I didn’t know why he was talking such nonsense.

“I’ve already fought the Unwol Sect, do you think I’d be scared of the Black Heaven Sect?”

To think they were comparing who was better when they were both the same trash, it was simply absurd.

There was no reason to talk any further, so I used my movement technique with all my might.

Boom!

The ground exploded, and the distance between us closed in an instant.

“You will regret this!!”

The bastard shouted like an idiot and swung his blade back at me.

After a few exchanges of pushing him back while parrying or dodging his blade.

The Restoring Name Sword finally pierced his heart.

Squish.

“Cough…”

Vomiting blood, the Unit Leader’s corpse sprawled on the ground.

I turned my head and looked around.

A chaotic battle was taking place all over the island.

As expected, Nam Geon and my junior sister Baek Hyang were fighting well on their own.

But the escorts of the Azure Stream Escort Agency and the latter-generation disciples seemed to be having a hard time in many ways.

I couldn’t let them die like this, so I used my movement technique and threw myself forward.
