When Shim Won-San swung the sword, Jin wanted to hit him with his fist.
"W-Wait! I shouldn't fight yet!" he thought to himself.
Shim Won-San stabbed the sword in his hand into Jin's shoulder. Shim Won San thought in a surprised state:
"H-Huh? What was that strange Qi just now?!"
Suddenly, Hye Hwang and the soldiers came in.
"ENOUGH, MASTER SHIM."
Shim didn't stop and cut the sword out of Jin's shoulder.
The soldiers and Hye Hwang ran to Jin's side.
"Please hold on! We'll stop the bleeding!"
"Shit, it hurts! Thank God he missed the vital spot." Jin thought to himself.
Shim Won-San was surprised and thought again:
"He couldn't survive such a simple attack? Were those rumours true?! Did he really not know any martial arts...? And what was that I felt just now? It seems like I'm not feeling well these days."
"What are you doing, Master Shim?!" said Lady Hye Hwang.
Shim Won-San threw down the sword in his hand:
"What is it? I thought he could survive such a simple attack. Who knew he'd be so pathetic? Anyway, I'll leave him to you." and walked away.
"Please forgive me, Master Jin. I didn't think Shim would act so brutally. I apologise on his behalf."
Jin faints from the pain.
....
Jin woke up in his own house. And right next to him was Eun Ha-In.
"Eun Ha-In..."
"Did they do this to you? You're an idiot. You should have fought back even if you were weak! Even if you can't, you should have run away."
Jin suddenly grabbed Eun Ha-In's hand and said:
"Thank you, Eun Ha-In. It's been a long time since I've been scolded by someone other than Mr Zheng."
Eun Ha-In's face suddenly turns red and she slaps Jin's stomach:
"W-What are you doing all of a sudden...?"
"URGHH!!!"
"I might be leaving soon."
"You're leaving...?"
"Yes...Since I'm fully recovered..."
"Ah...I guess you're right."
....
It was evening. Jin was in his own house, Eun Ha-In was meditating calmly in the other building, and suddenly Sun-Ryung walked in.
"Sun-Ryung?!"
"Young lady, I've come from our master's side. Our master is safe and completely fine."
"Really? That's good news!"
"We'll be on the move soon."
....
"SO THIS IS THE WASTELAND OF THE NORTH...WHAT A HUGE LIFE FORCE HERE...DEFINITELY WORTH SEEING."
Suddenly he hears a voice from behind.
"You are savouring me by hiding like a mouse...come out."
Suddenly a small group of ninjas emerged from the sand. The leader of the ninjas immediately stepped forward:
"Please tell me who you are and where you're going."
"Hmm...Who are these bastards? They're carrying strange weapons, the Qi they emit is something completely different..."
Then he said, looking at the ninjas:
"Hey, rat-like bastards, why should I tell you?"
"I'll cut to the chase, I'm thinking of letting you live if you go quietly."
"Pfft, while we're still talking politely...you'd better take heed to those words yourself." He said laughing.
"You're an arrogant bloke...If that's the case...TAKE IT DOWN!" the ninjas attacked.
"If it's war you seek, I'll give it gladly! Come on!" and he took the offensive."
All the Ninjas threw their weapons at him at the same time. The whole place went up in smoke. Suddenly a voice was heard through the smoke:
"THE SECRET POWER OF EVIL FLAMES."
When the smoke cleared, the ninjas saw that nothing had happened to the man. On the contrary, the man had attached all the chains he had to the ninjas' weapons:
"CUT THE CHAINS, RETREAT!!!"
At this moment, the man materialised his Qi in his other hand into a rope and attacked the ninjas, destroying many ninjas, only 3 were left.
"What the hell was that?! He took care of all the hidden ghosts in the blink of an eye.F-Fuck, grab your swords now.Let's finish this in one blow-" At the moment he said, the man attacked and threw a big and powerful punch with the Qi he gathered in his hand.The whole place was in smoke.When the smoke was over, all the ninjas were defeated, the man was injured, and even the swords of the ninjas were stabbed into his body.
"Urgh...They sacrificed their own bodies to wound me." He pulled the swords out of his body one by one:
"These bastards...were not ordinary martial artists...they were stronger than I thought, who were they? I had to leave someone alive to interrogate them...even the swordsman I fought was not this strong..."
He took all the swords out of his body. He spat the blood out of his mouth.
"No matter what happens...I will not let anyone stand in my way."
And then, looking ahead:
"I'm almost there! Wait for me...Hope Sky Sect!"
....
Jin had left his house because he wanted to go for a walk, just when he was about to go for a walk, Hye Hwang came to him.
"Ah! Are you feeling better...? I was just coming to bring you some medicine..."
"It's not the first time I've been hurt..."
"Please allow me to apologise once more."
"Again...This is not the first time people have done this, since you are already here, enjoy your time."
"Thank you...To be honest, I'm surprised that you have the compassion to ignore us like this...I thought Master Jin would be hostile to us...Especially after what our grandfathers did to you...Not to mention that my grandfather was the Ruler of Knowledge "Hyung Hwa"...But believe me, I'm different from my cruel grandfather."
Jin went home without saying anything.
....
Shim Won-San was on his way to his room after a long day. Just as he entered his room, he saw Hye Hwang inside.
"I THOUGHT IT WAS A GHOST! Lady Hye Hwang...Did something happen?"
Hye Hwang said with a dark expression:
"How many times do I have to tell you not to tease that man?"
"I get it, I get it. Stop nagging me. You're creeping me out."
"That man promises an invaluable asset to our plan. You'd better remember that we'll put him to good use."
....
"Urgh...how? Why? Pure chaos demon...Tae Kang! IGHH!"
Tae Kang smacked the man's head with his hand.
"I'm disappointed, they didn't even put up resistance."
At that moment one of his men came to him.
"I'm back, sir."
"What about that secret ghost continent?"
"We sent a number of troops there, but... they've all been destroyed."
"What? Did you say destroyed?!"
"....OHOO?"
"And some random kid took care of them? And that kid can stay in that girl's hiding place? LOOK LOOK!" Tae Kang laughed.
"Alright...let's go "Grey Wolf Pack." IT'S TIME TO HUNT RABBITS."
....
Yeop Wul was travelling around the sect and met Hin Mi-San on the way.
"Hin Mi-San! You just left without saying anything, I was wondering where you were, so you've been staying here! I suppose? How are you, old friend?"
"Old friend? I didn't know stealing a man's woman was called a friend. Focus on your duty and don't talk to me." He replied with a serious expression.
"Are you still upset about that? Well...I was feeling guilty too, but...she chose me."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YEOP WUL!!!" said Hin Mi-San as she suddenly attacked Yeop Wul with his sword.
As soon as Yeop Wul saw this, he also counterattacked, and quickly damaged Hin Mi-San. Hin Mi-San's sword was broken. Yeop Wul looked at Hin Mi-San seriously:
"Calm down...I'm trying to be nice to you now that I can meet you again...Forgive me for saying that, but you have to face reality now, mate...I only made superficial cuts, but get yourself treated."
Hin Mi-San remembered her past while kneeling down and started to laugh with a bitter smile.
....
Jin went home after forging iron as usual. Eun Ha-In came for dinner again.
"Where's my food?"
Jin gave the food and they started eating together. While they were eating, Jin handed Eun Ha-In a flower made of iron:
"Here..."
"Huh? What's this?"
"Why are you so surprised? It's a gift."
Eun Ha-In blushes:
"H-Gift? For me?"
"You said you were leaving soon, so I wanted to give you something."
They continue to eat together.
....
While Eun Ha-In was looking at Jin's gift at home, Sun-Ryung walked in. Eun Ha-In immediately hid the gift.
"Sun-Ryung?!"
"Young lady, I'm here to inform you that our master will arrive at this place soon, by the way...what did you hide just now?"
"A-Ah...it's nothing you need to worry about."
"Young lady, remember that you are our only hope, you shouldn't be personally attached to anything."
"That won't happen."
"I trust you, my lady."
"Something is wrong." Sun-Ryung thought to himself with a mysterious look.
....
Hin Mi-San, who had just begun to train in his wrath even though his wounds had just healed, was even more furious that his girlfriend hadn't chosen him.Suddenly he heard a voice in his head.
"When you begin to doubt yourself, you begin to be consumed by the deep darkness in your heart. The sparks of anger that burn inside you are what drive you to destruction, and in the end... you will never find the answer you seek."
Hin Mi-San looks around in amazement.
"The side you are looking at is only one of the dozens of sides inside you...this one-sidedness certainly does not reflect your self."
"HUH?! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?! COME OUT!"
"When you are able to extinguish the flames burning within you...your mind will become as clear as water and a mirror reflecting the truth...you will be like water flowing down the slopes to the bottom, but when you meet the sunlight, you will evaporate and reach the heavens...what passes through your heart is the same principle...when you reach the sky within you, the rippling winds will begin to move the clouds...just like the turmoil within you."
Hin Mi-San closes his eyes and becomes more focused. He begins to move his sword more calmly.
"Let your meridians become the sea, so that your belly button becomes your anchor. Let your thoughts reach the sky, so that you can reach to rule the heavens."
Hin Mi-San feels like a drop of water, waiting for his turn to fall, and when his turn comes, he swings his sword towards the sea with an intense Qi, and the water suddenly lifts up.
"What was that intense Qi...?! It was as if someone opened the door to the right path for me...Who was it?!"
....
Jin was watching the sun as usual.
"That's enough for today." he said and went towards his house. As he was going towards his house, he felt an intense Qi.
"H-Ha? What is this huge Qi...?!"
