Dad Is the Demonic Cult Leader – Chapter 86

Chapter 86

“……!”

“……!”

“……!”

Actually……

Whether it was in my past life or this life.

I’ve become quite immune to the gazes of people staring at me with shocked eyes.

I don’t know why, but.

People would occasionally stare at me like that.

Is it because I’m a complete ‘crazy bastard’ who deviates from the realm of normalcy?

Or is it because the entire world, except for me, is strange?

Even if I ponder for a hundred days, I can’t find an answer to this question.

Because this isn’t anyone’s problem.

I’m just me.

The world is just the world.

We each live our lives in our own ways, and I simply don’t want to conform to the world.

However……

“What will you do? From today onwards, you and the Hengshan Sect will be under my protection?”

When conflicts arise because of that.

I am prepared to bear the repercussions.

“Jin So-cheon……”

The moment expressions of astonishment washed over the faces of all the Hengshan Sect bastards……

The Grand-Uncle bastard, suppressing his anger, calmly uttered my name.

“I’ve heard rumors about you. They say you’re the Sect Leader of the sect showing the most prominent growth in Shaanxi, surpassing even Chang’an, in the past year……”

“That’s right. That’s why I’m saying I’ll protect you.”

“……You’re quite the jokester.”

“I don’t know about jokes, but I’m pretty good at arguing.”

“Jin So-cheon.”

“What.”

“Do you know something?”

“So, what?”

“Since I became a martial artist, you’re the first arrogant person I’ve ever seen.”

For a moment, the Grand-Uncle bastard’s brow furrowed, contorting in anger.

I realized that he was currently enraged, but as I had expected, I let out a smirk and continued speaking.

“Thank you for teaching me something good.”

“……”

“So, I should tell you something good too.”

“……”

“There have been a few people who’ve called me arrogant until now…… The Boar, the leader of the Green Gang, did, and so did the leader of the Black Society…… The Sect Leader of the Noh Family Assassin’s Guild also said something like that. Oh! I think a Guardian Messenger of the Cult of the Evil Path said that too.”

“……”

“But do you know what happened to all of them?”

“???”

As incomprehensible words tumbled out of my mouth, the Grand-Uncle bastard seemed bewildered.

However, I didn’t care and continued speaking nonchalantly.

“They all got the s*it beaten out of them.”

“Wh, what?”

“Therefore, you too.”

“……!”

“Keep in mind that you can also get the s*it beaten out of you.”

◈ ◈ ◈

Chaeng━!

Chaeng━!

Chaeng━!

As soon as I finished speaking……

The Hengshan Sect bastards suddenly drew their swords and pointed them at me.

Yeon-u, seemingly startled by the escalating situation, tried to dissuade me, and the Grand-Uncle bastard was still glaring at me with a vicious look.

Then……

I became certain that I wouldn’t be able to get through today peacefully.

“Alright! Let’s be frank.”

Anyway……

Confrontation with the Hengshan Sect had become inevitable with this.

Even if I apologized now, or if they apologized to me.

Would the resentment between us disappear?

In other words, all that’s left is to have a fight.

Then?

There’s no need to be polite or to say nice things.

I went straight to the main point.

“That bastard Jong-hoe tried to kick out paying customers relying on the Hengshan Sect’s name. But, it just so happened that I was among the customers, and I don’t get intimidated by the Hengshan Sect’s name. But you guys don’t like me like that, so what can you do? We have no choice but to fight.”

Then, the Hengshan Sect bastards, who were filled with rage just a moment ago, burst into laughter.

Of course……

They were probably laughing because they found me ridiculous.

But conversely, I also found them ridiculous, so I just smiled.

“Jin So-cheon. Remember one thing.”

At that moment, the Grand-Uncle bastard had a sinister expression.

“Remember what?”

“You challenged the Hengshan Sect yourself. Therefore, you have no right to complain even if you die. Do you understand?”

In a comprehensive analysis.

It seemed like the Grand-Uncle bastard was planning to at least break one of my limbs, and he also seemed to be intending to shift the blame onto me for any problems that might arise later.

I nodded and replied.

“I understand. But that also applies the other way around.”

“What?”

“If all of you bastards die by my hand today, it’s because you brought it upon yourselves, so don’t complain later.”

“How dare you speak of our sect like that!”

“How dare I speak of it how? How else should I see you? I see you as a bunch of crazy bastards filled with inferiority complexes because you want to be part of the Nine Great Sects but can’t.”

“You bastard!”

At that moment.

Before I could even finish my insults, one of the Hengshan Sect members suddenly charged towards me.

Sswaeeaaek━!

The bastard’s sword path was aimed directly at my chest.

It was proof that he intended to kill me for real.

Deopseok━!

Since the opponent had shown killing intent, I didn’t need to hold back, and I had no intention to, so I grabbed the bastard’s wrist, twisted it with a crack, made him drop his sword, and then headbutted his face with the Iron Head Technique.

Kwaaaang━!

I felt an intense impact on my forehead.

If it was that intense even for me who hit him……

“Ju, Junior!”

“Junior!”

“Junior!”

“Junior!”

“Senior Brother!”

“Senior Brother!”

What about the bastard who got hit?

“Brother!!!”

The Hengshan Sect bastards were horrified, Yeon-u also shouted in surprise, and

“Ugh……Ugh!”

Thud!

The bastard who got hit by my Iron Head Technique, with his face covered in blood, just……

“……”

Fainted.

◈ ◈ ◈

Currently, the Hengshan Sect members’ mental states had reached a devastating level.

They……

Had underestimated Jin So-cheon, and the price was truly disastrous.

Of course, they probably didn’t look down on Jin So-cheon from the beginning.

However, they might have thought that some of the rumors circulating about Jin So-cheon were exaggerated, and they might not have heard some of them at all, and even considering that, they probably didn’t think that Jin So-cheon would act recklessly in front of the Hengshan Sect’s name.

But Jin So-cheon far exceeded that expectation,

“Come at me. A series of matches is fine, and you can all attack at once too.”

He had inflicted unspeakable humiliation……

“You bastard! I’ll kill you!!”

It was natural for the Hengshan Sect members to lose their composure.

“Jong-hoe. Stop.”

“Grand-Uncle!”

“I’ll step in myself.”

“Bu, but! This happened because of me, so I should take care of it……”

“This is no longer just your matter.”

“Grand-Uncle……”

“This has become a grave matter concerning the sect’s pride.”

“Grand-Uncle Yeong-myeong……”

Yeong-myeong.

He was a first-generation disciple of the Hengshan Sect and a promising rising master of the martial world.

But since they had suffered an unexpected misfortune, he decided to step in himself……

“Jin So-cheon. I am Yeong-myeong, a first-generation disciple of the great Hengshan Sect. You have insulted our sect, so even if I kill you, it does not violate our sect’s rules. So, will you face me in a fair duel as a martial artist today?”

He……

Asked Jin So-cheon that.

At first glance, it seemed like a martial artist’s courtesy of seeking the opponent’s consent before a fight……

But in reality, it was a statement with a strong implication of shifting responsibility, saying, ‘It’s not my fault even if I kill you!’

Of course, Jin So-cheon readily agreed.

“I already said. A series of matches is fine, and you bastards can all attack at once too.”

“You’re crazy.”

“I’m not exactly normal.”

“No need for long talk. Let’s move.”

“Alright.”

Since the duel was confirmed, the two immediately left the inn and faced each other in a secluded forest.

The Hengshan Sect members still seemed puzzled by Jin So-cheon’s relaxed demeanor, and Seok Yeon-u cautiously spoke up.

“Brother…… Are you sure about this? That person is…… Yeong-myeong of the Hengshan Sect. I’m also angry, so I wasn’t going to stop you if possible, but…… If the opponent is a first-generation disciple of Hengshan, this could escalate into something serious.”

Seok Yeon-u’s words made sense.

Even if the opponent wasn’t Yeong-myeong……

The Hengshan Sect was a powerful sect with a strong influence, among the most powerful of the righteous sects excluding the Nine Great Sects, and some even considered it a large sect comparable to the Nine Great Sects.

It was understandable for Seok Yeon-u to worry about the aftermath.

However, Jin So-cheon shook his head, as if he had a different opinion.

“Yeon-u.”

“Yes, Brother.”

“What kind of people are we?”

“Huh?”

“What are our jobs, you and I?”

“Well…… Martial artists active in the martial world?”

“That’s right. We’re martial artists.”

“Brother……”

“The Shaolin monks who are active with the goal of saving sentient beings. The Taoist priests who want to spread the teachings of Taoism to the world. Even the Greenwood bandits who make a living through robbery and the Demonic Cult bastards. We’re all martial artists.”

“Brother……”

“I know what you’re worried about. It’s not pleasant for me either. Do you think I want to make enemies of the Hengshan Sect if I’m not out of my mind? So, I held back a lot today.”

“……”

Seok Yeon-u couldn’t refute Jin So-cheon’s words.

It was true that Jin So-cheon had held back more than usual today.

If it had been the usual Jin So-cheon or Jin So-cheon in a bad mood?

The moment Jong-hoe told them to leave the inn, his head would have been smashed.

“There’s nothing else to being a martial artist. Whether you’re a good guy or a bad guy. When it’s time to fight, you fight, that’s what a martial artist is.”

“Brother……”

“Therefore, I will fight.”

Only then……

Did Seok Yeon-u realize that he couldn’t stop Jin So-cheon from fighting.

『Brother! ……But you absolutely must not kill him. You must…… Keep that promise.』

However, he couldn’t just leave everything to Jin So-cheon’s emotions.

Seok Yeon-u sent a voice transmission to him, trying to avoid the worst-case scenario.

Fortunately, Jin So-cheon seemed to agree and nodded, sending a voice transmission back.

『Of course. I don’t want to kill him either. But I don’t know if that’ll go as planned. What if his martial arts are far beyond my expectations? What if I can’t find an opening to subdue him without using a powerful technique? I can’t guarantee anything then.』

‘Come to think of it……!’

Suddenly, a chill ran down Seok Yeon-u’s spine.

‘I was overlooking Master Yeong-myeong’s skills!’

He had forgotten because Jin So-cheon’s martial arts were so extraordinary and he couldn’t imagine him being defeated.

‘Yeong-myeong, the first-generation disciple of the great Hengshan Sect━!’

He was the first-generation disciple of the Hengshan Sect, which had formidable power comparable to the Nine Great Sects, and

‘He’ll definitely be a formidable opponent.’

Although he wasn’t on the list of top-tier rising masters like the ‘Nine Phoenixes of the Righteous Path’.

Yeong-myeong of the Hengshan Sect was a master known to almost every rising master of the righteous path.

『Brother! Still, there must be no killing! If someone dies…… It will really become a huge problem. You have to think about the disciples too. The Dawn Heaven Sect has just settled down and is growing. It will be a headache if you make enemies of the Hengshan Sect.』

However, Seok Yeon-u was repeatedly worried not about Jin So-cheon’s defeat, but about him killing Yeong-myeong.

That’s how much Seok Yeon-u believed in Jin So-cheon’s martial arts……

Of course, regardless of all that.

『I’ll try my best.』

Jin So-cheon……

『Well…… I might be able to cripple one of his legs while beating him up.』

Seemed to have no thoughts at all.

『Br, Brother!』

『It’ll be over soon.』

『……』

“But why are we talking through voice transmission? It’s not like we’ve committed a crime.”

“Th, that’s…… Don’t you know?”

Jin So-cheon, who had asked Seok Yeon-u with an indifferent expression, then picked his nose and spoke to Yeong-myeong.

“Yeong-myeong.”

“……”

Suddenly━.

He then suddenly held out the booger he had just picked.

“Do you know what this is?”

Yeong-myeong, as if he wasn’t worth dealing with, took a middle stance with his sword drawn without responding.

At that moment,

“It’s Flicking Finger Technique.”

Paaaaaang━!

With a loud explosive sound, Jin So-cheon opened the duel with an unprecedented ‘Booger Flicking Finger Technique’.
