It was the exact same look Jo Useong of Taeguk Sword Sect had given me on that small mountain outside Anpyeong. Fighting spirit. The Martial King of all people was openly revealing a raw desire to defeat me. I didn’t know how I was supposed to interpret that, but at the same time, I was ecstatically shaken. Either way, it meant the Martial King acknowledged me.That I was a genius on par with him—Or perhaps, a prodigy who surpassed him. Self-praise? Don’t laugh at me. This…-

As always, the gazes of passersby clung to my face. The way men and women looked at me was clearly different. Both shared a hint of fear, but the men’s eyes held stronger respect and jealousy toward a powerful man, whereas the women’s were more plainly filled with curiosity and disgust. Just as I had done when passing through the streets of Wonjung, I almost glared back at those who openly showed hostility, to scare them a bit—but I held back. It wasn’t because I was mindful that this was…

Staring blankly down at So Daeseong’s crushed head, So Ungseong slowly raised his face. His gaze turned toward the middle-aged law enforcer who had reported the outline of the case. “You investigated properly, I trust?” The law enforcer’s face went ashen. When he faltered, So Ungseong instead addressed the monkey-faced man standing at his side. “Were you there when Maung killed Shin Bonggong?” There was some distance between them, but cowed by the fearsome pressure rolling off So…

Led by Baek Unyeong at the head, a group of warriors burst into the side hall, each of them gripping a weapon. Only then did So Ungseong come back to his senses and order them to withdraw. “All of you, leave.” Baek Unyeong protested. “But, Lord of the Hall, they have entered without authorization…” “I said, stand down. They are here as witnesses for this trial. I will handle this. Law Enforcer Baek, wait in the Hall of Prisons and Punishments.” Before Baek Unyeong could decide…

It was a bleak stone room without a single piece of furniture. It felt like a dungeon. Since there were not even chairs to sit on, I had been seated on the floor, but when I heard the bell announcing the Hour of Mi, I rose to my feet. As soon as the eighth toll faded, the iron door opened with a harsh creaking sound, and two warriors in their thirties, their robes embroidered with the characters for “Law Enforcement,” stepped inside. They were not Baek Unyeong’s subordinates who had come to…

“I don’t understand.” “What don’t you understand?” “He’s still considered a swordsman of some renown, and yet, in front of all those watching eyes, he behaved in such a disgraceful manner.” “Well, listen to this brat. Are you really saying that because you don’t know?” “…” “You have no idea how terrifying you look when you lose your temper, do you? From Flower-Shadow Sword’s perspective, his guts didn’t just shrivel, they must have…

The swordsman with the knife-like ears couldn't answer my question. Instead, one of the martial artists of the Jinmu Academy let out my moniker like a groan. "Demonic Hero." Although it wasn't a loud voice, a commotion immediately arose in the crowd. The old man and the boy who had been prostrated also raised their heads and looked back. But after seeing me, they became like turtles again. However, a sense of anticipation twinkled like a star in the boy's eyes. The swordsman with the knife-like…

The Eccentric Immortal panted like a dog that had run to the edge of the village to escape the hands that were trying to catch it on a hot summer day. Although I didn't feel sorry, I ignored his pain and concentrated on my recovery. It would take another two watches to be in a state where I could use my lightness skill without any problems. At least, unlike ordinary people who took several months for a fracture to heal completely, my bones would set and heal in half a day. It was not because I was…

"What are you doing here, you brat?" I felt my strength drain away. I, who had almost fallen into a state of qi deviation, used the snot-sized primal energy I had barely gathered to move my tongue. "What's the matter, old man?" The Eccentric Immortal got angry at my retort. "I asked you first, you brat. What the hell is this? Is there dragon shit buried in there? Get up quickly, won't you?" Even though I didn't move a muscle, I felt the Eccentric Immortal, who had been panting, sit down…

There are several ways to shake off a pursuit. You can run faster than the pursuer, lure them into your own territory and make them turn back on their own, or you can intimidate the pursuer. The one I chose was the third. I had to make the demonic leaders realize that they could die a violent death if they chased me. To do that, I needed to inflict a real threat, not just a threat. To carry it out, I also had to take a risk. It was because I had to allow the pursuers to get close. The demonic…
