Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation

Vol 2 Chapter 16. This is Nullllll and Vooooid! (1)

A single move to subdue the enemy.

Literally, nothing else was needed.

What Patrick needed to defeat Blood Wave Saber Guest Ma Jae-ho was just a single strike.

From Patrick, standing confidently in front of the fallen Ma Jae-ho, the majesty of an absolute master was truly….

“See? It’s nothing, right? Why did you interfere with me dealing with this? Huh?”

Not felt at all.

It was an appearance more fitting to be called an absolute thug rather than an absolute master.

However, no matter how frivolous and undignified the act was, the achieved result itself did not change.

“Oh… Oh my goodness….”

“Defeated that Ma Jae-ho in a single blow?”

“…….”

The commoners secretly watching from the surroundings were surprised, but the astonishment of those from the Kongtong Sect was beyond that.

Ma Jae-ho is strong.

Perhaps even if the Virtuous Governance Sword fought with full power, victory could not be guaranteed.

But to defeat such Ma Jae-ho in a single blow….

‘Who on earth is that person? Judging by his appearance, he is not from the Central Plains. Is he a master from the Outer Regions? Why did such a person come here?’

Thoughts continued to tail one another in Yun Gi’s mind. And in the meantime….

“At… Attack!”

“It’s revenge for the Sect Leader.”

“Surround and attack him!”

A beat late, the disciples of the Blood Saber Sect swarmed towards Patrick.

At the joint attack of the Blood Saber Sect members, numbering nearly 300, Yun Gi stopped his thoughts and said.

“Help the Twin Dragon Sect! Defeat the Blood Saber Sect….”

Kwa-a-ang!

“Kuaaaak!”

“Aaaak!”

His words could not continue further.

Before he could finish his sentence, Patrick’s figure disappeared. What Yun Gi saw afterward was truly like a flash of lightning.

All he could see were flashing lights.

After that flash passed, dozens of Blood Saber Sect members were bouncing off as if hit by a carriage.

What kind of scene is this?

Only enough time for a few breaths had passed, but already over 100 disciples of the Blood Saber Sect had fallen.

“Ugh…. Ughhh….”

“Monster….”

The remaining Blood Saber Sect members lost their initial momentum and all hesitated, stopping their feet.

Then Patrick clicked his tongue and said.

“Tsk tsk, Unorthodox kids these days really have no grit. You bastards. With such weak guts, how are you going to make a living as Unorthodox practitioners?”

“…….”

“Eing, in the old days, even Unorthodox kids had grit. What is the Jianghu coming to….”

He’s gone so far as to act like a fuddy-duddy even to the Unorthodox faction now.

Patrick rested his twin swords on his shoulders and said.

“So? Are you going to continue? Or not?”

At Patrick’s words, a scholar with a goatee came forward from the Blood Saber Sect and spoke.

He said with a trembling voice.

“Who…. Who on earth are you?”

“I am Patrick Schneider, Bong-gong of the Great Twin Dragon Sect.”

“Why are you, not even a person of the Central Plains, intervening in the history of the Central Plains Murim?”

“Did you not hear? I said I am the Bong-gong of the Twin Dragon Sect.”

“Even so….”

“And so what if a person from the Outer Regions intervenes? What are you going to do? Huh?”

“…….”

“If you don’t like it, want to fight? Come on. Come on.”

How can there be such a thug?

It was a face that naturally brought such thoughts.

But regardless of what the opponent’s identity is, the fact doesn’t change.

Whether Orthodox or Unorthodox, the Jianghu is a place that ultimately runs according to the law of survival of the fittest.

The Sect Leader fell, and the main force disciples also fell in large numbers.

Although there are still some remaining, honestly speaking….

‘There is no chance of winning against that monster….’

Ppa-a-ak!

“Keueuk…. Why, why? Why are you attacking?”

“I hit you because it seemed like you were cursing me as a monster inwardly.”

“…….”

“Why? What are you going to do?”

Communication is impossible.

The strategist held back his anger and humiliation unavoidably and said.

“We… We will withdraw.”

“Are you admitting defeat?”

“…Ad…mit… Keueuk!”

Pbeo-eok!

“Why aren’t you doing it quickly? Should I just smack you?”

Where is the law in hitting before speaking?

He wanted to say that, but he couldn’t.

Is this human really from the Orthodox Faction?

No matter how he looked at it, even in the Unorthodox faction, no, even among the Unorthodox, such a scoundrel acting as he pleased was rare.

“We admit defeat. Our Blood Saber Sect will withdraw from Tianshui County.”

Eventually, the Blood Saber Sect admitted defeat.

This was tantamount to acknowledging that Tianshui County was completely the territory of the Twin Dragon Sect.

“Should have done so earlier. Then settle what needs to be settled and go.”

“…Settle?”

“Huh?”

“……?”

“……?”

Both people had expressions saying ‘I don’t know what you are talking about’.

And the first one whose expression turned into that of a vicious evil spirit was Patrick.

“Surely, you don’t mean to go empty-handed? You utterly defeated loser bastards intend to just go without paying compensation for damages?”

“Compensation for damages? What damages did you suffer?”

“What damages? Do you know how much the people here trembled in fear and anxiety all day today because of you? Huh?”

“No, such unreasonable….”

“Unreasonable?”

“Th… That is, well….”

“What? Say it? Say the words that might become the last words of your life. Quickly.”

Strategist Jang glanced around.

But the Blood Saber Sect members who met his gaze looked away as if they had seen a plague god.

The Sect Leader was still unconscious and fallen, too.

Grind.

‘Useless things….’

In the end, finishing this situation was his responsibility.

“How much do you want for compensation?”

“How much is the entire property of the Blood Saber Sect?”

“…….”

The moment he saw Patrick looking with twinkling eyes, Strategist Jang intuited.

That he shouldn’t open his mouth carelessly here.

“Th… That is something we can only know after going back and calculating. I cannot answer right here immediately.”

“Ah, of course. I know that. But there is usually a rough estimate, right? Something like roughly how much it would be.”

Why do you need to know that? Surely….

“What? Are you afraid I might demand it all if I know the entire property of the Blood Saber Sect? Ey, surely I wouldn’t do that.”

“I think Master would definitely do that?”

“I wouldn’t. I intend to demand only 99.9 percent. I have a conscience too.”

Is that a conscience?

“Don’t lie.”

A disciple who doesn’t trust even that.

Truly a fantastic master-disciple relationship. No, more than that….

‘Who on earth is this peerless beauty….’

At the appearance of her wearing black martial arts clothes and carrying a large saber on her back, Strategist Jang became tense.

Seeing her call that monster Master, that woman might also be a formidable monster.

“Let’s settle the compensation by collecting the cash you have right now.”

“Yes? Ah… Yes.”

“And we also need to receive a vow that you will never set foot in Tianshui County again.”

“Kuhm, understood. I promise in the name of this Jang Mo, the strategist of the Blood Saber Sect.”

Actually, he didn’t want to come again even if asked.

If he knew there was such a monster, he would have stopped the Sect Leader by any means necessary.

As Persona stepped forward and settled it instead, Patrick clicked his tongue in regret.

“Tsk, that’s not enough. When ripping off Unorthodox factions, you have to suck even the marrow….”

Really won’t come again. Never….

* * *

A while later.

After the Blood Saber Sect withdrew, Patrick looked at the things in front of him with a pleased smile.

“Wow. Little drops of water make the mighty ocean, it’s quite substantial. The economy must be good for Unorthodox kids these days.”

Patrick really thoroughly emptied the pockets of 300 Unorthodox practitioners.

His appearance of thoroughly emptying without leaving a single coin even looked skillful.

He even took the weapons the Blood Saber Sect brought.

[Weapons are the life of a martial artist.]

[Really? Then should I kill you and take it?]

[…….]

There was minor resistance, but it was ignored very naturally.

Looking at the thickly piled money bags and even more piled weapons, Patrick smiled pleasedly.

“Yul-ah. Take this cash and set aside the weapons separately. I should sell them to the smithy later.”

“Is it really okay to do this?”

“Then? Why? Should I return them now?”

“…….”

That’s a bit not right.

Patrick went to Mun Yul, put his arm around his shoulder, and whispered in a small voice.

“Yul-ah. Listen well.”

“What… is it?”

Mun Yul’s voice became a bit cautious.

That was natural.

Since he confirmed Patrick’s inhuman martial prowess with his own two eyes.

‘I knew he was strong, but I didn’t know he was such a supreme master….’

The Blood Saber Sect Leader is a master on a different level from the likes of Great Bear Twin Axes Kang Man.

Patrick’s martial prowess that subdued such a master as if twisting a child’s wrist was….

‘Honestly, I can’t even gauge it. Can our Twin Dragon Sect’s martial arts really become that strong?’

Mun Yul saw hope through Patrick.

With Bong-gong, our Twin Dragon Sect could soar in the Jianghu again.

Respect for Patrick began to sprout in a corner of Mun Yul’s heart….

“Traditionally, you take money when you can.”

“…….”

“And it’s even better if it’s Unorthodox kids’ money. Got it?”

“…….”

…And then stopped.

Right. Such a human cannot be a supreme master.

That is not right.

The Blood Wave Saber Guest must have been weaker than thought. Anyway….

“Yes. Understood. Guys. Let’s move this.”

“Yes. Yul Hyung…. No, Senior Brother Yul.”

“Weapons are sharp, so be careful.”

“Yes. Eldest Senior Brother.”

The adorable disciples of the Twin Dragon Sect began to pack the loot.

Patrick was watching it pleasedly. Then….

“Kuhm, would it be rude if we talked for a moment?”

“Hmm? You guys were still here?”

Virtuous Governance Sword Yun Gi, who spoke, looked at Patrick with an expression like he chewed a bug, but soon straightened his face and continued.

“I have truly witnessed magnificent martial prowess. I did not know there was such a magnificent master in the Twin Dragon Sect.”

“Ahem!”

The skill is magnificent, but the character….

“Would it be rude if I asked about your background?”

“Well, it’s not rude to ask that. I am Patrick Schneider from the Schneider Duchy.”

“…….”

“First time hearing it, right?”

“I apologize. I am ignorant of the affairs of the Outer Regions….”

He just heard that if you go far away to the west, there is a place where many people with different hair colors and eye colors live.

A person of the Central Plains couldn’t know every single country there.

Even the Schneider Duchy isn’t even there, so there was really no way to know.

“Kuhm, by the way, why is someone from such an Outer Region staying as a Bong-gong in the Twin Dragon Sect of the Central Plains?”

“Ah, that is because…. Hmm, it’s a bit long to explain.”

“…….”

“To condense it shortly, do you know Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon?”

“…I have never heard of him.”

“Oho, you don’t know? He fought a duel with your Kongtong Sect Sect Leader and won overwhelmingly? You really don’t know?”

“…….”

“Tsk tsk tsk, didn’t even pass it down to future generations because it was embarrassing. Anyway, this is why Unorthodox kids curse you as hypocrites at the drop of a hat. Eing.”

“…….”

Yun Gi’s face turned red.

Of course, considering the long history of the Kongtong Sect, there must have been times when the Sect Leader lost to an outsider.

But the fact that they hid it was inevitably shameful for the descendants.

“Anyway, 200 years ago, there was a cool, magnificent, and handsome Great Master named Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon in the Twin Dragon Sect. I inherited his martial arts and came all the way here.”

“In other words, you inherited the lineage of the ancient predecessor of the Twin Dragon Sect that was transmitted far away to the Outer Regions?”

“Smart. You can understand it that way.”

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t just inherited, but the Radiant Dragon Great Master himself came, but still.

‘Come to think of it….’

There is a faint memory remaining in Yun Gi’s mind.

When he was still young.

It was when the boy Yun Gi was attending to his Grandmaster.

His Grandmaster, slightly tipsy from evening drinks, suddenly spoke.

[Gi-ya. Once, a figure closest to the World’s Best was born in this Gansu Province.]

[Is that true?]

[Yes. Although he was not a figure of the Kongtong Sect, it’s a pity such a person left so well.]

[…Left so well?]

Usually, don’t people just say left?

Then his Grandmaster cleared his throat and said.

[Kuhm, no. Just forget it.]

The young and innocent Yun Gi really forgot as his Grandmaster said.

But thinking about it now, connecting the story from that time and what this man named Patrick is saying now, the story fits.

“Then, what do you plan to do in the future, Sir Patrick?”

“Future? Hmm, in what sense are you asking?”

“Our Kongtong Sect is a prestigious Orthodox sect deeply rooted in Gansu Province. If we have a good neighbor, shouldn’t we know their movements?”

“Ah, so you are curious whether I will touch your rice bowl or not?”

“…….”

Yun Gi didn’t answer.

But he didn’t deny it either.

In fact, even if they are the same Orthodox sect, if they stay in the same area, friction arises in various ways.

Patrick isn’t ignorant of such circumstances.

“If, let’s say.”

“…….”

“If I touch it, what will you do?”

Then, instantly, Yun Gi’s eyes shone intensely.

“We are the Kongtong Sect.”

Seeing that, Patrick smirked.

“Right. That is true.”

A prestigious sect should be like this.

Even if there is a strong person in front of them whom they cannot beat, they must not show weakness for the honor of the sect.

This was the appearance of a true prestigious Orthodox sect that was taught from a young age that the honor of the sect is more precious than life.
