Dad Is the Demonic Cult Leader – Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaang━!

Force-Thunder Sword ……

It’s not an originally existing martial art name.

It’s just an internal energy operation method that draws up and releases both ‘Force’ and ‘Thunder’ attributes simultaneously.

The Force-Thunder Sword truly shot towards the Sixth Guardian’s entire body, letting out an earsplitting explosive sound.

As soon as the Sixth Guardian blocked the sword’s path, I continued to thrust the Force-Thunder Sword whenever there was an opening in space, regardless of whether it was up, down, left, or right. When the stabbing angle was awkward, I also swung the sword like a saber and carried out a ‘slashing’ attack, so the Sixth Guardian blocking it would have been bewildered.

In other words……

The Force-Thunder Sword was a complete ‘killing sword’ unleashed without any concern for counterattacks or escape routes.

Actually……

Even in a life-or-death duel, martial artists who have reached a certain level try to avoid this kind of reckless, attack-only approach.

This is because attacks can always fail, and if you don’t prepare for defense and secure an escape route in case of failure, you become mentally unstable.

But I didn’t do that.

My sword’s path was truly close to a suicidal, ‘you die, I die’ approach , and it seemed to work because the Sixth Guardian was more focused on blocking the sword than counterattacking.

However.

This was my aim.

From the beginning, I was certain that the Sixth Guardian wouldn’t be able to counterattack.

‘Because he firmly believed that I was weaker than him.’

That’s right.

Although he praised me verbally, the Sixth Guardian would never have thought that I was stronger than him or even on the same level.

Then, it was crystal clear that he would try to completely block my rapid attacks and then seize a perfect opportunity, rather than risk getting hurt by counterattacking incorrectly.

My prediction was correct, and the Sixth Guardian’s face was turning blue in the face of the ‘overwhelming force’ of my swordsmanship, which surpassed his imagination.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!

The sword wind and force emanating from the Force-Thunder Sword were so intense that it felt like my hand holding the sword would explode.

‘……!’

The Sixth Guardian’s expression, as he deflected the sword, changed from moment to moment. At first, he seemed surprised by the overwhelming force of the Force-Thunder Sword, then his face became filled with irritation.

And finally, a slight ‘fear’ seemed to settle in.

Perhaps……

He didn’t expect me to be this strong.

However, I didn’t let my guard down.

No.

Rather, I had a hunch that the Sixth Guardian’s next counterattack would be tremendous, so even while unleashing my sword attacks, I raised my Protective Aura to the maximum, preparing for the worst-case scenario.

As expected, the Sixth Guardian, after struggling to block the sword’s path, suddenly exploded with internal energy.

Goooo……!

In an instant, the energy flow in the area changed.

Those with strong martial arts would have grasped it immediately, and even those who weren’t as skilled would have felt a sense of oppression from the heavy killing intent.

“Jin So-cheoooooon!”

Sure enough, a massive, overwhelmingly powerful Sword Energy suddenly erupted from the Sixth Guardian’s sword.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaang!

“Oh my god……”

“Such a monstrous Sword Energy.”

“……”

The onlookers froze at the manifestation of the Sword Energy.

Especially in the case of Il-dong, Yi-dong, Sam-dong, Yeon-u, and our disciples, they would have been quite surprised because they couldn’t usually witness such Sword Energy……

But I wasn’t flustered because I had anticipated that the duel would escalate like this, and I immediately released my Sword Energy to counter the Sixth Guardian’s Sword Energy.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!

As the Sword Energy clashed against Sword Energy, the area around the battlefield surged with red and blue radiance.

The Sword Energy derived from the Sixth Guardian’s sword was tinged with red, fiercely trying to bind my entire body, while the Lightning Energy derived from my sword turned into blue lightning, shattering the Sixth Guardian’s Sword Energy.

“Jin So-cheon. You were hiding your claws after all……?”

At that moment.

The Sixth Guardian, unable to gain the upper hand even after releasing his Sword Energy, retreated a few steps, as if intending to gather his internal energy, and asked in a low voice.

I was so dumbfounded that I replied with a bewildered expression.

“Sixth Guardian. What do you mean hiding my claws? If I hide my claws one more time, my head will be blown off.”

“I admit it. I underestimated you.”

“I admit it too.”

“???”

“I underestimated you too. I thought you were just a good-for-nothing old man who only eats, shits a lot, and is a useless bum and a dung beetle. But you’re actually pretty good. I acknowledge that.”

The Sixth Guardian’s face flushed instantly.

How should I put it?

It was like his face was expressing, ‘I really f cking hate you, you bastard!’

Wouldn’t you say?

◈ ◈ ◈

Meanwhile……

The duel between Jin So-cheon and Yuk Gwang had surpassed 180 exchanges.

Since it was a duel between fast swords, 180 exchanges didn’t even take a full two hours in real-time……

Nevertheless, the onlookers couldn’t help but be enveloped in tension and silence, as if a year had passed.

That’s how much.

Those who had predicted the Sixth Guardian’s victory were astonished by Jin So-cheon’s defense.

And the Dawn Heaven Sect members, who firmly wished for Jin So-cheon’s victory, couldn’t help but be awestruck by the Sixth Guardian’s formidable power.

“I expected it, but…… seeing So-yun’s Father’s martial arts in person is beyond words.”

Master Dongbyeok said, watching the intense duel.

He had trusted Jin So-cheon completely from the beginning and was certain that he would win against the Sixth Guardian.

But it was the first time he had witnessed Jin So-cheon’s full power, so his emotions were particularly profound.

Also,

“Brother…… No, is our Sect Leader truly that strong…… Ha.”

“That’s right, Brother.”

“Brother Il-dong. It was a stroke of genius for us to follow Big Brother, a stroke of genius.”

Il-dong, Yi-dong, and Sam-dong were beyond moved, reaching the point of admiration. The three of them had goosebumps all over their bodies and even trembled.

And,

“Brother! Brother So-cheon! Please win!”

Currently, the person who……

was cheering for Jin So-cheon most passionately was Seok Yeon-u.

Seok Yeon-u was even tearing up.

Before this duel, he was the one who most strongly opposed Jin So-cheon and the one who distrusted him the most among those around him.

But as soon as the fight began, Seok Yeon-u shouted Jin So-cheon’s name as if he were fighting himself, and when the Sword Energy erupted from his steel sword, he felt a thrill and let out a cheer.

‘I will hate myself for not trusting Brother until now. Please…… win.’

Perhaps at this moment.

To Seok Yeon-u, Jin So-cheon was the greatest martial artist under heaven, his life’s goal, and the person he trusted most.

On the other hand,

‘Jin So-cheon……’

‘You’re far exceeding my expectations.’

‘Where did such a person appear from?’

The three people who could be considered the greatest experts in the arena.

Hong Geum-bu, the Cult Leader of the Cult of the Evil Path, Cheongmun Sword Master, and Master Won-il were staring at Jin So-cheon with meaningful eyes.

The ‘Yuk Gwang’ they knew was originally a master.

So, even if Yuk Gwang drew his Sword Energy and unleashed it dozens of times, it wouldn’t be surprising.

But Jin So-cheon’s case was different.

Of course, they had also heard rumors about Jin So-cheon, and his recent actions in Shaanxi were unconventional, so it was true that they had expectations……

Kwakwakwakwakwakwang━!

The three of them, as masters and those at the center of the martial world, couldn’t help but feel complex emotions as they watched Jin So-cheon, who was not backing down at all against Yuk Gwang even after nearly 200 exchanges.

And……

Kwajijijijijijic━!

Suddenly, the Lightning Energy derived from Jin So-cheon’s sword stretched out like a giant tree, piercing through Yuk Gwang’s Sword Energy and landing the first effective blow.

‘……!’

They couldn’t close their gaping mouths.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Kugh!”

Exactly after 207 clashes……

The first groan escaped the Sixth Guardian’s lips.

My Force-Thunder Sword’s wind had pierced his chest.

“Kuhek!”

Although the blade itself hadn’t penetrated the Sixth Guardian’s body……

Just from the impact of the sword wind, the Sixth Guardian vomited blood, then retreated more than 15 feet to regain his composure.

It was just as well, as I was also reaching my physical limit.

But I didn’t rest, and I didn’t give the Sixth Guardian a chance to rest either.

‘I won’t miss this opportunity.’

I.

Objectively, I still couldn’t surpass the Sixth Guardian in terms of power.

In fact, the Sixth Guardian’s internal energy had far exceeded 60 years, and it was clear that if we continued this clash of Sword Energy, my internal energy would be depleted first.

But I had one advantage that the Sixth Guardian didn’t.

It was ‘willpower.’

Just like my past self.

The same goes for my current self.

Even though I’m insignificant compared to my past self, I’m second to none when it comes to ‘willpower’, and I can confidently say that I’m the best under heaven.

And this ‘willpower’ sometimes becomes an ‘absolute’ factor that completely overrides the level of martial arts, enlightenment, internal energy, or even formidable physical advantages and talent.

In that sense, I launched another attack.

Even though I was out of breath and felt like my lungs would burst.

Even though the ‘lightning’ of the ‘Thunder’ attribute was scorching the flesh of my right hand holding the sword.

I endured everything and chased after the Sixth Guardian using Fast Whale Steps.

‘……!’

For a moment, ‘fear’ flashed in the Sixth Guardian’s eyes as he saw me charging.

He probably didn’t expect it.

He probably didn’t know that there was such a tenacious person in the world, right?

Sswaaaaaaaaaaek━!

I thrust the Force-Thunder Sword again, incorporating all the principles of my martial arts.

First, I naturally activated the overwhelming force and Lightning Energy befitting the name Force-Thunder Sword.

Secondly, the moment I launched the attack, I applied the principle of the ‘Gale Fist’, which adds rotational force, to the sword as well. As a result, at the same time the sword strike was generated, a massive whirlwind unfolded around it.

Lastly……

I unleashed the fastest.

The most lightning-fast, ‘ultimate speed’ sword strike since my reincarnation.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that even I was surprised by the speed of this attack. The driving force behind being able to unleash such a lightning-fast sword strike was my mountain training.

In other words, it was the culmination of the ‘Three Emptinesses Training.’

‘Hoo……’

For a month.

I truly suffered like a dog.

Of course, it wasn’t to the point where I, who can do anything, couldn’t endure it, but sometimes I felt like gritting my teeth and giving up. The journey of the Three Emptinesses Training was the peak of hardship and the epitome of adversity and suffering……

Only I in the world could handle the ‘ultimate of ultimates’, which was the Three Emptinesses Training.

But the moment my sword strike completely shattered the Sixth Guardian’s Sword Energy and even his Protective Aura, and landed squarely.

‘As expected…… I was right.’

I was able to fully ‘implement’ and ‘confirm’ my martial arts philosophy that nothing is gained without pain, and that the more painful it is, the stronger ‘martial arts’ become.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaang━!

“Kuaaaaaaaaaack!!”

And so……

My sword strike caused the Sixth Guardian to drop his sword, his hair became disheveled, his upper garment was completely torn, and he flew over 15 feet before crashing to the ground.

“Cough!”

Blood spurted from the collapsed Sixth Guardian’s mouth.

Although my blade hadn’t pierced his body this time either.

The aftereffects of the Lightning Energy had scorched the Sixth Guardian’s upper body black, and it seemed like even simple breathing was difficult for him, as if all the bones around his chest were broken.

In short, he had become a ‘crippled loser’ who couldn’t resist.

‘……’

For a moment.

I hesitated.

This duel was a fight to the death.

In other words, it was about doing your best to kill your opponent until one of you died.

However, the Sixth Guardian seemed unable to recover.

It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to practice martial arts anymore, and he might not even survive without the help of a renowned physician like Master Dongbyeok.

Therefore, instead of finishing him off,

“As a martial artist, the Sixth Guardian is finished. I don’t want to take the life of the human Yuk Gwang, so can I be certain of my victory at this point?”

I asked the onlookers.

But……

“Sob…… Sob…… Brother!”

“Big Brother!”

“Our Big Brother is the best!”

“Brother So-cheooooon!”

Why on earth……

Why are those Dongdong brothers and Yeon-u looking at me with teary eyes as if they’re about to vomit?

Furthermore,

“It’s not Brother, it’s Sect Leader……”

You damn bastards!

Of all the times, in front of all these people……

What’s with the”Brother”,”Brother”?

Please, let’s have some decorum.

Hoo……
