Chapter 36 – 37. Adversary-3

Seonwoo forcibly lifted his heavy eyelids.

Since the state of my body was incomprehensible, even my eyelids felt heavy.

I forced my eyes open, but it was completely dark in front of me, and I couldn’t see anything around me.

‘What?’

I tried to get up, but I couldn’t even move.

Is it because of the lack of power?

After opening my eyes, there was nothing I could do.

He clearly remembered that he struggled in pain after taking refuge in the hideout of White Sword Gate with Jade Spirit.

I don’t remember after that.

‘Did you bite your tongue?’

Did he end his life by biting his tongue, unable to bear the pain?

Or did you pass out because you couldn’t stand the pain, and you’re still wandering in a dream?

I don’t know.

I don’t remember at all.

It was when I was lost in thought for such a long time.

Thump thump

Footsteps came from outside the crypt.

Sunwoo was nervous.

Who is the owner of those footsteps?

Jade Spirit?, Yin-Yang Ma? It doesn’t matter who it is, so I prayed and prayed that it wasn’t just Lee Jae-won.

Ttubeok

And the owner of the footsteps appeared.

“Are you awake? You’re sleeping like crazy.”

It was a yin and yang horse.

Sunwoo let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it seemed that Lee Jae-won was not the owner of the footsteps.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Yin-Yang Ma, forgotten memories gradually began to emerge.

Struggling in pain, he tried to commit suicide, and Yin-Yang Ma breathed Yin-Yang Harmony into him, saving his life.

“Thank you for saving my life!”

Seonwoo started off by saying thank you.

Because I am truly grateful.

Had it not been for the existence of Yin-Yang Ma, he and Jade Spirit would have suffered a terrible fate at the hands of Jae-Won Lee.

The jade spirit would have been slaughtered, and he himself would have had no choice but to look at it.

In addition, you gave Lee Jae-won time to escape, so how can I not be grateful?

“Okay, I didn’t mean to save you.”

Seonwoo was suspicious of those words.

Could it be that he didn’t save him because he was his successor?

When the identity of the Yin-Yang Demon was revealed, Seon-woo had doubts, but he made the assumption that he had appeared to save himself.

Otherwise, wouldn’t there be a chance that the yin and yang horse that disappeared 20 years ago will suddenly appear at Baekhwa Peak?

It’s not like I came to the neighborhood and heard it.

“Wasn’t it because you saved me because I was a descendant of the Onmyo Harmony Art?”

“How do I know if you’ve mastered it?”

“Did you feel the wave of energy…”

“Crazy.”

Seon-ho was at a loss for words at Yin-Yang Ma’s firm answer.

It seems that his reasoning was wrong.

Sunwoo kept his mouth shut in embarrassment, and only silence flowed between the two.

But surprisingly, it was Yin-Yang Ma that broke the silence first.

“When I asked, why did you come to Baekhwabong?”

“That…That’s…”

Seonwoo was engulfed in trouble for a moment.

Should I tell the truth, or should I lie as I did to the Jade Spirit?

“By the way, if you’re going to cheat, do it well so you don’t get caught. If you fool around and get caught, I’ll tear off the sheep.”

Seonwoo felt the yangmul portion get cold in an instant.

I got the feeling that if I said the wrong thing, I might really be ripped off.

I quickly came to the conclusion that I wouldn’t lie.

But here another problem arose.

I was worried about where to start and how far to say it.

If Yin-Yang Ma heard the conversation between himself and Lee Jae-won from beginning to end

It’s okay to just tell the truth, but if you don’t, it’s very embarrassing.

Can’t you just say that you are fictional characters that exist in novels?

If you do, your head will break, saying bullshit.

Sunwoo, who had been struggling for a long time, slowly opened his mouth.

“My name is Jang Sam, the great disciple of Lee Jae-won, an absolute god of war. …From there, I pursued the divine art of yin and yang harmony…By chance…At Baekhwa Peak…That’s how I got to where I am today.”

Sunwoo explained in detail all the things he had experienced as Jangsam.

Why was he chased, how did he learn Yin-Yang Harmony Art, and even how he reached Baekhwa Peak?

Except for the false accusation, most of them were choices intended by Seonwoo as a reader, but he dismissed them all as coincidences and lied.

However, from Jangsam’s point of view, everything was a product of coincidence, so isn’t it all a lie?

Yin-Yang Ma, who had been quietly listening to Seon-woo’s words, stroked his chin.

Pounding

Seonwoo could feel his heart beating.

He couldn’t tell the whole truth, but he couldn’t lie either, so he mixed the truth with the lies.

As a result, it has become a ridiculous story that all these things are coincidental results by coincidence.

Sunwoo felt deep regret.

I didn’t know when I was talking about it, but when I started screaming, it was such bullshit.

I didn’t know that I might break the sheep.

With a nervous heart, Seonwoo secretly examined Yin-Yang Ma’s face.

M-yamma had a very serious expression on her face.

“Is it all ‘coincidence’?”

“That’s right.”

A very satisfied smile appeared on the Onmyangma’s face.

“As expected.”

“Yeah?”

“You are the only one who has the potential to kill Lee Jae-won.”

“Yeah!?”

Seonwoo’s eyes widened at Yin-Yangma’s words.

What kind of nonsense is that that he is the one who will kill Lee Jae-won?

It’s nonsense.

Lee Jae-won is the main character of this novel.

It is the sound of being loved by the world.

In addition, he is the best man in the world and a master who has reached the present state called Banseon.

How could he kill such a human being close to him?

Seonwoo looked at Yin-Yang Ma with suspicious eyes.

“Don’t open your eyes like that, should I just dig them out?”

Seon-wu lowered his eyes in a hurry at Yin-Yang Ma’s bloody words.

“Well, I think it’s natural for you to be suspicious, but there’s some basis for that.”

Yin-Yang Ma took a deep breath and continued.

“Who do you think is more powerful, me or that bastard?”

“Yeah?”

At the words of the yin-yang horse, Seon-wu fell into trouble.

According to the setting, it was clear that Lee Jae-won, the first man in the world, would be stronger, but the martial arts of Yin-Yang Horse that he actually saw were beyond imagination. Didn’t Lee Jae-won scatter the attack with a single gesture?

Sunwoo, who was struggling, opened his mouth.

“I think Lee Jae-won is stronger.”

“Wrong. I am stronger.”

“Then why don’t you kill him?”

Seon-wu had doubts about Yin-Yang Ma’s words.

If the martial arts of the Onm-Yang Demon are even more powerful, why doesn’t the Onm-Yang Demon kill Lee Jae-Won sooner?

Isn’t Lee Jae-won the enemy of Cheolcheonji who almost killed Yin-Yang Ma?

Sunwoo could hardly understand.

“But I couldn’t win.”

“Yeah!?”

Feeling embarrassed by his answer, Seonwoo asked again.

Martial arts are more powerful, you can’t win, what kind of novel bullshit is that?

“If I fight with that bastard, I’ll have the advantage at first because I’m strong in martial arts, but as the fight progresses, that bastard grows up, to the point of being on par with me!”

Yin-Yang Ma raised her voice as if exasperated, and continued.

“Of course, there is a saying that there is no teacher as great as the real battle, but even taking that into consideration, he grew up at an absurd rate. At most, a guy who just entered the prefecture can match me who has reached the end of the prefecture!”

From the point of view of the yin and yang ma, it was an exasperation.

It was because I felt like I was being taken away from the knowledge I had accumulated over years or decades.

“After my first defeat at Sunong’s residence, I fought him several times, and came to a hypothesis. I wonder if some unknown transcendental being is orchestrating the world so that he won’t be defeated, so that he can win. Otherwise, there would have been no way that such a ridiculous achievement and good fortune worthy of being called heavenly luck would have been established.”

Seonwoo was very surprised by the words of the onmyangma.

Onmyangma noticed the existence of the so-called main character, Bajeong.

Protagonist correction is a fictional device for the main character.

It had many clichés, such as providing a clue to defeat a powerful enemy or surviving by acting on heavenly luck even in a situation where there was no choice but to die.

As a novelistic device used by the writer’s expediency, to develop a story
It was acting as an element to relieve the dramatic tension.

In ‘High 3, Go to Moorim’, Lee Jae-won was never defeated because this main character correction was a work that could be beaten.

Yin-Yang Ma became aware of the irrationality.

Sunwoo couldn’t help but be surprised.

“In the end, I gave up on attacking that calf. It’s very infuriating, but it wouldn’t be so heartbreaking if it grew more and more using me as a stepping stone.”

Suddenly, Yin-Yang Ma grabbed Seon-Woo by the shoulder.

“But today, I saw you. Lee Jae-won, who is receiving blessings from the whole world with a weak body that is only in the middle of the peak, is the only one who can’t do what he wants!”

His voice grew furious, and his voice only rose higher.

“And I realized. If it were you guys, I would be the only one who could defeat Lee Jae-won.”

Seonwu was confused by the words of the onmyangma.

Honestly, isn’t it the result of using the MacGuffins in the novel that I know as a reader rather than a coincidence?

However, in hindsight, just like Yin-Yang Ma said, Lee Jae-won, the only protagonist in the world, was a person who could not do as he pleased.

It was because it was true that he, like Lee Jae-won, came from a higher dimension, and that the yin-yang demon appeared at the moment of crisis.

“So, I intend to train you to face Lee Jae-won.”

“…”

Seonwoo had doubts about Yin-Yang Ma’s words.

Of course, I understood everything.

Even the fact that Lee Jae-won has a main character, correction, and that he, the only being that does not work, is the only opponent who can stand against him.

However, there is no reason why Yin-Yang Ma should train himself.
He learned his martial arts, and although he saved the lives of himself and Jade Spirit, he was definitely called the best horse in the world, and he was a great horse head who slaughtered countless people.

I wondered what he was up to.

Why did he bother to take revenge by raising disciples when he could have just avoided it?

Isn’t Lee Jae-won a disaster that ordinary people can’t help but deal with?

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no possibility.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Because you are the enemy.”

It was an immediate answer that came without any hesitation.

“…”

At Yin-Yang Ma’s answer, Seon-woo was able to realize that he had been looking at Moorim from a modern person’s point of view.

Yes.

These were Murim people.

They hated being humiliated more than dying, they always repaid their enemies no matter how many generations passed, spoke with a sword rather than words, and hated losing more than anyone else.

When faced with an ordeal that ordinary people could not handle, they were bound to sit down and despair.

However, these Moorim people are the ones who choose to move forward rather than sit down even when faced with an unbearable ordeal.

Rather than succumbing to and avoiding a disastrous human named Jae-Won Lee, Yin-Yang Ma chose to stand up to it.

“By the way, I don’t need your consent. I will train you and you must become stronger. Until you beat Lee Jae-won. This is a notification, not a solicitation.”

“…”

Of course, even the aspect of being a careless person was thorough as a Moorim person.

“Thank you very much, Master.”

Seonwu put his head on his head and began to chant the incantation.

There were no options anyway.

He had to be strong, and he had to kill Jaewon Lee.

Anything that can be used will be used

Except for the Jade Spirit, of course.

For a moment, Seonwoo, who was crazy about Okryong, hurriedly finished the Gubajirye and got up from his seat.

“Master, what about the Jade Spirit?”

“You’re asking too soon.”

Seonwu was taken aback by Yin-Yangma’s answer.

Even though he cherished her life, he felt ashamed of himself for remembering it now.

“If it’s that child, he passed out in the dungeon on the other side.”

Upon hearing Yin-Yang Ma’s answer, Seon-woo immediately ran to where she was.

I should have checked first

It was his own negligence.

Ok-ryeong was sleeping on the flat rock Seon-wu had laid down, catching her breath.

However, the situation was very strange.

Her complexion was red enough to her eyes, and her breathing was so rough that her breath echoed.

‘What!?’

Seeing this, Seonwoo hurriedly put his hand on his forehead.

It was a ball of fire.

Sunwoo took her hand to her forehead, then placed her hand on her palm and began blowing her yin-yang blender into her.

It was intended to activate her recovery power by forcibly circulating her blood system using the Yin-Yang Harmonizer, but it was useless.

Her breathing was still more rough, and Seonwoo’s stomach burned.

“Jade Spirit!”

She called her name urgently, but she showed no signs of waking her up.

“No use.”

Bruise bruise

At that time, a Yin-Yang Demon was walking in from outside the crypt.

“What do you mean?”

“It means that no matter how hard you hit the Yin-Yang Harmony, it’s useless.”

“What is that!?”

“She will die.”

At Yin-Yang Ma’s words, Seon-woo’s eyes widened.
