Dad Is the Demonic Cult Leader – Chapter 14

Chapter 14

‘……In the end, I have no choice but to push myself, do I?’

I didn’t want to go this far.

Since the Dongdong brothers have gotten involved, I have to go this far.

The reason I was able to become the Greatest Assassin of All Time in my past life was because of my high level of concentration, which allowed me to naturally absorb Nature’s Meridian even in everyday life.

That’s right.

I have the disposition to absorb Nature’s Meridian while eating, sleeping, and even unconsciously, which others can only activate consciously.

Therefore, even while I was hovering between life and death at Master Dongbyeok’s mountain villa, I maintained the breathing posture of Nature’s Meridian, and as a result, I was able to recover quickly.

However, I never overuse Nature’s Meridian.

That’s because of the characteristics of Nature’s Meridian. The power of Nature’s Meridian brings about tremendous changes that completely alter the innate physical soil.

Because of that, it not only puts a strain on the body but can also lead to Qi Deviation, or even a rampage if one cannot control the ‘power of attributes’ derived from the breathing of Nature’s Meridian.

But now, I……

have no choice but to push myself, even if it means breaking the unwritten rule.

The remaining number of bandits is approximately 70.

If it were a 1 vs 70 fight, I would gladly crush each of their heads with the patience of a snail, but to protect the Dongdong brothers and deal with all of them, I needed immense ‘power’.

‘The longer the fight goes on, one of the Dongdong brothers will get seriously hurt. I need to finish this quickly.’

“Hooop……”

I took a deep breath, deeper than usual, and absorbed the power of nature dispersed in the atmosphere.

Then, the Force attribute mass rooted deep within my lower Dantian wriggled like crazy and, in an instant, surged, flowed, and revolted into every corner of my meridians.

Goooo……!

In an instant, the atmosphere around my body slowly distorts.

Perhaps sensing the intangible pressure emanating from my body and the energy of the Force attribute, all the bandits who were pointing their swords at the Dongdong brothers turned their gaze towards me, and

“Wh…… What is that?”

“What, what is it?”

“……!”

I witnessed fear gradually creeping into their eyes.

“I’ll control my strength so you don’t die, so don’t worry too much.”

I said that, but I don’t know if it will go as planned.

I’ve only used Nature’s Meridian this recklessly when I killed the Mount Hua Sect Leader and the Blue Demon King in my past life, so it’s uncertain whether I can perfectly control my power.

But even if the bandits die because I can’t control my power, it’s their fate, so I don’t care.

I just focused all my energy on unleashing the secret technique of the Wave Fist, which unfolds when the Force attribute explodes, towards the front.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang━!

It was exhilarating.

The energy of Force gathering at the tip of my fist was enough to burst every joint in my hand, and the pressure exploding once from the lower Dantian, once from the middle Dantian, and finally once from the upper Dantian and inside felt like it was engulfing my body.

“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”

“Uaaaaak!”

“Kueeeeek!”

At the same time, the Wave Fist took the form of Fist Aura and swept the front like falling leaves in autumn wind.

A single blow.

The aftermath of that blow was significant.

The bandits, unable to even think of resisting, started to retreat, but the Wave Fist of the Force attribute, once released, continued to spread, striking the bandits blocking the front, sides, and rear without discrimination.

‘Hmm……’

However.

At the moment of victory, I faced a predicament.

‘This is crazy.’

The Force attribute mass that was surging in my Dantian began to consume my ego.

This was due to my lack of internal energy and was a typical case of a rampage.

Most of the high-ranking members of the Demonic Cult learned Nature’s Meridian, but the reason they couldn’t handle the power of attributes like me was because of these side effects.

“Bro, Brother!”

“Big Brother!”

“Brother So-cheon!”

At that moment, the Dongdong brothers were watching me beat the bandits like a ferocious beast. To their eyes, I must look like a murderer possessed by a ‘demon’, right?

‘……Let’s calm down.’

While my mind was becoming hazy, I cast constant suggestions and spells on myself.

If this continues, I will surely kill them all.

It wouldn’t be a big deal to kill bad guys, but I didn’t want to become a murderer in this life, so I calmed my mind and recited the Great Whale Heart Technique, an internal energy cultivation technique derived from Taoism.

‘Phew……’

Great Whale Heart Technique.

This technique is an internal energy cultivation method of unknown origin. The training process is slow and inefficient for accumulating internal energy in a short period, but it embodies the pure and majestic spirit of a whale, making it exceptionally effective in calming the mind and body with its clear energy.

“Hoop……”

Fortunately, as I practiced the Great Whale Heart Technique, the rampaging Force attribute mass gradually subsided.

At the same time, my fists, which were unleashing the Wave Fist towards the bandits, naturally stopped.

“Kuuuuh……”

“S, Save me……”

“Stop……!”

When I came to my senses, the place was a mess.

Perhaps thanks to my will to avoid killing even in a half-crazed state, there were no dead bodies, but nearly 80% of the 100 or so bandits were groaning with broken arms, legs, and other injuries, and the remaining 20% were unconscious.

“Brother!”

“Big Brother!”

“Brother!”

Suddenly.

The Dongdong brothers, trembling at the shocking sight, approached with a mixture of worry and fear on their faces.

I smacked the back of their heads hard.

Paak━!

“Ow!”

“Bro, Brother!”

“Why did you hit us suddenly, Big Brother!”

The Dongdong brothers grumbled while rubbing their heads, and I was dumbfounded. I was about to hit them again, but I just sighed and said.

“Sigh…… Did I tell you not to interfere, or did I not?”

“Big Brother……”

“We, we were……”

“We thought Brother was in danger……”

The sight of the Dongdong brothers, with their huge bodies, cowering like dogs about to poop was inwardly funny, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to check the vertical hierarchy between them and me.

“Guys.”

“Yes, Brother.”

“Yes.”

“Yes, sir.”

“I’ll let it slide this time, but never disobey my orders again. When I give an order, there’s a reason for it. Because you guys interfered in the fight, I had to expend energy I didn’t need to, and I’ll probably have to recuperate for the next few days. In short, you guys wasted several days of my time.”

“Brother……”

“We’re sorry, Big Brother.”

“Honestly, we didn’t imagine Brother would be this strong…… so we clumsily interfered, trying to help.”

“You disobeyed orders, so I’m thinking of giving you a fitting punishment. But we’ll decide on that later. For now, I’ll give you a mission.”

“Yes!”

“Yes, Brother!”

“Speak!”

“All these bastards lying here. Tie their arms and legs tightly with ropes and splash a bucket of cold water on their faces. Let’s get them to wake up.”

◈ ◈ ◈

“Phew……”

How much time has passed?

It seems like about half an hour has passed.

The aftereffects of recklessly exploding the Force attribute mass of Nature’s Meridian were more significant than I thought, so I had to circulate my energy and breathe deeply for quite a while before I could stabilize my body.

Meanwhile, the Dongdong brothers had tied up the incapacitated bandits’ arms and legs and made them kneel in the center of the bandit hideout. After finishing my energy circulation, I got up and approached them, saying.

“I’m going to ask you a few questions from now on, and if I don’t like your answers, I’m going to start by pulling out your fingernails and eventually pull out every single hair on your head. It’ll probably be more painful than dying, so make your choice wisely.”

At my words, the bandits shuddered with wide eyes.

It’s understandable.

How could they remain calm after hearing that I would pull out their fingernails and hair?

“I, I’ll answer everything I know.”

“Please don’t do that……”

“Please spare me just once, Brother!”

Then, some of them started calling me Brother, even though I don’t know when they saw me as one.

To be honest, I’ve never been called Brother in my past life, so I wasn’t offended, but I didn’t want to be the Brother of bandits at all, so I roared.

“You bastards! Who’s your Brother? I don’t want to be the Brother of bandits like you, so Il-dong, slap the faces of those who just called me Brother.”

“Yes, Brother!”

At my command, Il-dong spat on his cauldron-lid-sized palm and then slapped their faces with enough force to make their faces spin.

But……

The corners of Il-dong’s mouth are slowly curling up.

That bastard is definitely enjoying this.

“Who’s the boss among you?”

“I, I am.”

I first identified the leader of the bandits.

As expected, the boss was the bearded man who first pointed his broadsword at me and then got his jaw smashed and fainted.

“Where are the original Golden Tiger Lodge guys who were in charge of this bandit hideout?”

“Yes. We chased them away. We killed those who resisted fiercely, and even those who didn’t, we cut off one of their limbs and left them on the mountainside. The lucky ones might have survived, and the unlucky ones probably became food for wild animals.”

“That’s cruel, isn’t it?”

“I’m sorry…… I apologize.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. I was going to rob them anyway, even if it wasn’t for you. By the way, who are you guys?”

“We are bandits belonging to the Iron Blood Gang. Recently, as the Black Society and other Black Path forces started to concentrate in Shaanxi, we also lost our territory and were scattered. So, while wandering, we settled in Mount Guangyang.”

It was unexpected that the name Black Society came out of the boss’s mouth.

I heard they were trying to take over Shaanxi, but it seems the Black Society is a more established Black Path faction than I thought.

“I, Iron Blood Gang? You’re saying you’re from the Iron Blood Gang?”

Suddenly.

Il-dong asked in a surprised voice, staring at the bandit boss.

“Y, Yes?”

“Yes? You bastard!”

Kwaang━!

Il-dong once again smashed the boss’s head with his steel-like, monstrous hand.

“Aaaack!”

The boss screamed.

How painful must it be to get hit by a hand like that?

I would cry too if I were him.

“Il-dong, what’s wrong?”

“Big Brother, these bastards are complete trash. They’re from the Iron Blood Gang, who used to operate in Hanzhong, and they kill civilians like it’s nothing.”

What else is new……

I already knew that these guys were the worst kind of scum from their confession.

“Il-dong.”

“Yes.”

“Calm down. I know.”

“Brother! We should pour oil on these guys and set them on fire. They’re useless even if they live, aren’t they? If we let them live, they’ll try to get revenge later, or they’ll commit evil deeds elsewhere.”

I was momentarily taken aback.

Il-dong, who was the top ruffian in Chang’an’s marketplace yesterday, is acting like a chivalrous warrior full of righteousness today?

Well……

The position makes the person, and existence defines consciousness. So, Il-dong is no longer a ruffian but a bad guy who catches bad guys.

He’s become almost half a martial artist.

“Il-dong, what was our original purpose for coming to Mount Guangyang?”

“To rob the Golden Tiger Lodge…… right?”

“That’s right. In other words, we came here to make money, right?”

“That’s true, but.”

“Then, would it be okay to kill these guys, or not?”

“Huh?”

“You said these guys are vicious, right?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t know for sure, but……”

“……???”

“Isn’t there usually a bounty on guys like this from the government?”

At my words, the bandits’ faces turned blue, and smiles bloomed on the Dongdong brothers’ faces.
