Subdued Soul Chronicle

Chapter 161

Keeeik!

The heads of ghosts came at him from all sides, with their heads tied and mouths wide open.

Jeok Ryun-rang has a bad taste in choosing weapons.

Zaha swung his sword and created a powerful sword wind. He looked back as he slashed down those who were caught.

Seol Young-rang, are you sure it was just one drink?

No.

Then what is this? You say you want to play the role of a reaper, but you cannot even properly understand it! Unless you are drunk from one glass of alcohol

No!

Seol Young said, as he slashed the flying heads with Blue Rainbow.

Weird. How many years have I been doing this? So would I make such a mistake? I mean, I didnt feel it until now, but to change his attitude in an instant for no reason

Because that guy is mad!

Hwa Un quickly approached them and said that.

Originally, he would have fought with a fan. It was because when he would swing his sword, he didnt want his hair or clothes to become messy. But this was a critical situation.

So all the Hwarangs moved and drew their swords. Every time a red aura flashed, bundles of ghost heads would fall.

After all, if one gets involved with the Ghost Demon King, the outcome wont be good. Then Hwa Un shouted,

I was foolish. For falling for the words of the Ghost Demon King! I shouldnt have let you touch her!

Dont.

Seol Young didnt even budge.

The main thing is to make them move back. Because the mad need to be dealt with the mad alone.

Zaha looked over his sword.

What mad thing will you do now?

The mad one I am talking about isnt me.

Seol Young said.

Anyway, first we need to know where the attack is coming from.

The whole place was filled with a hazy energy that wasnt fog or smoke.

Where is she?

Seol Young lightly tapped the floor with his sword. Immediately, the ground below shook and a black wind rushed in. It was a headwind with the intent of pushing them back and wounding them.

South wind?

He figured out from which direction the wind came, but it was too strong.

Seol Young freed himself by stepping onto a defense form and using footwork. But at the last moment, his foot stumbled.

Heads that were tied together and appeared black swarmed like bees and attacked him.

There are too many of them!

Seol Young swung his Blue Rainbow sword.

Talismans rose along Blue Rainbow, forming a circle, then attacked and exploded at the heads. But a few bundles of heads broke through the gaps.

Uh?

At that time, Hwa Un, who was next to Seol Young, had no choice but to raise his sword and stand.

Sangyang was the name of his sword, which meant a large bird.

The sky rains heavily because of the Sangyang sword.

As the phrase spoke about heavy rain, it meant that the large bird would dance, and when the sword dances, a flood of blood would happen everywhere.

The ones who were about to attack Seol Young were cleared at once.

Hwa Un-rang?

Zaha looked at him with his golden eyes.

I thought you hated Seol Young-rang because of what happened in the past! Yet even when Seol Young was being accused of being evil, you personally came to save him! Arent you the most mature of the leaders?

Seol Young glanced at Hwa Un and nodded.

Upon hearing that, Hwa Un felt angry.

Does he think I saved him because I wanted to?

He only wanted one thing, and that was for Seol Young to be humiliated.

If possible, he hoped for him to fall into a dirty pit. At the time, if he stepped on Seol Youngs back, he would feel more refreshed.

But why are you acting like I saved you!

First of all, Hwa Un said to Zaha, It was nothing, and then he smiled.

Seol Young-rang. Wouldnt it be better not to provoke it?

No. We have to find the source of where the attacks are coming from.

Seol Young replied. However, seeing Jeok Ryun run rampant, they couldnt rush forward.

Then.

Eventually, they came up with a way, and Seol Young clenched his sword with one hand.

It was definitely there.

He reached inside his pocket and took out a small string.

It was a peach tree.

High Governor!

He called Zaha, who was cutting down a strange head, and gave him the piece of peach tree.

?

Zaha couldnt understand, but since he was busy, he continued cutting the heads, and Seol Young went behind him and struck Blue Rainbow on the ground.

Thud.

Waves of spiritual power spread in all directions. At that moment, the entire place shook.

Kuak!

The ghost heads, which were screaming, suddenly vanished.

Um?

Hwa Un was surprised as he looked around.

Aha, I get it.

Zaha said.

The reason she has so much power is because Wonhwa is a priestess. You gave her a peach tree instead of something else and took my power to shake the barrier?

Seol Young just nodded. Although it consumed a lot of his spiritual power, he knew it would work.

The fog was lifted, and the trees were revealed. A stone tower stood tall in the back.

It was the Tower of Wonhwa that sealed Jeok Ryun-rangs soul and items.

Behind them, someones shadow shimmered.

Hwa Un shouted.

Jeok Ryun-rang!

The shadow immediately disappeared. At the same time, an evil energy poured out in all directions like black waves.

Seol Young raised his sword and said,

We have to attack the tower to make sure she reveals herself.

Okay.

The three of them ran towards the tower. Then Hwa Un stopped.

Why am I suddenly obeying him? And why is the High Governor

At that time, a string of black energy came for his chest, making him swing his sword to deflect it.

Now wasnt the time to think, so he moved, and Jeok Ryun hid behind the tower while manipulating this energy.

It seemed so vicious.

When Seol Young hit it with Blue Rainbow, it looked like it scattered, split into several more strands, and moved through the sides.

But the Blue Rainbow sword managed to hit them, and they all collapsed.

However, the moment the wind rose as they fell and hit his cheek, he felt a throbbing sensation.

If being hit by the wind from the tower was already like this, then what would happen if she was in front of them?

While running, Zaha said,

Do not fight it, just surround it.

Yes.

Seol Young and Hwa Un answered.

The three surrounded the tower and began to attack.

Gold, silver, blue, and red lights shone as they surrounded the tower. The range of the evil energy was starting to become limited, and the space where Jeok Ryun could hide was getting smaller.

Eventually, when she could no longer hide, the shadow behind the tower vanished.

Up!

Hwa Un shouted.

A woman stood on the tower. Even with the wind blowing, her long gray hair didnt move. And her pale face had red eye makeup on.

Her clothes were pure white. There was armor on her shoulders, and the lotus engraved on her chest was stained with red blood.

As she stood without shaking, she looked like a terrifying beast.

The first sword of the kingdom.

Zaha opened his mouth in a nonchalant tone.

Was the rumor true? It isnt like everyone gave up because they were from the royal family.

He took a step forward and held his sword.

I wanted to compete with you since the first time I heard about you.

His golden aura rose from his sword. At that moment, she jumped off, and her sword attacked him right away.

Her movements were so light.

It was so light as if she were alive, and now that she took the form of a ghost, her body held no weight.

And her sword technique seemed very flexible. In one light motion, several uneven movements were mixed. Then the silvery flowers on the trees began to shine at once.

It was like she was defending herself, but through the repeated motion, they broke, and the beast within them stepped forward.

It was her sword dance that could make one dizzy.

Following the spot where the sword passed, a clear line was engraved onto the ground in red.

Ha!

With a sharp sound of slashing, the swords energy exploded.

In the next moment, all of the red lined parts were cut off. The trees around them fell, making the dirt rise.

Seol Young was dumbfounded as he watched the scene.

Of course, Zaha said that to provoke her, but it was so ridiculous that she fell for his bait.

If she moves like that, then the neck of her enemy would fall at once.

The legends about her didnt seem like exaggerations.

Move back!

Hwa Un told his Hwarangs.

The way his sleeves moved to push them was like a bird using its wings to protect the young ones.

Even if the High Governor is great and stronger than us, how can a small person deal with a mad

Seol Young snorted at his words.

Huh.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

It was something he would have said if he could.

You dont realize that man is also a madman!

Wasnt that what he said when Zaha came out of his tomb?

Even though she has an advantage over him, the High Governor will not lose.

Seol Young was sure of it, and he saw the two swords collide.

There was a loud metal clashing sound. It was the sound coming from their swords.

Just like a dragon that was inside a cave and rushed outside, Zaha managed to handle every attack.

His murderous intent was pulsating in his sword.

It was said that when ones sword technique reached a high level, they would never forget the form it held and conquer the world, but Zaha hadnt reached that level.

However, due to his extreme concentration, it felt like they were similar.

Once his target had been set, no one could stop him.

Even Zaha couldnt stop himself now. Wasnt this the concentration a madman would have?

His murderous intent was so clear that it broke through the movements of his opponents sword.

However, right before it touched her chest and engulfed her in golden flames, she twisted her body to block it.

Both of the swords moved to clash again.

Hwa Un was taken aback by this.

Hwa Un-rang, it isnt the time for this.

As if he hadnt been watching, Seol Young said coldly.

Hwa Un looked at him.

Then?

Please stay behind. In case the heads come flying again or not.

Seol Young raised his spiritual qi, and Hwa Un looked a bit hesitant.

Why am I back to listening to him again?

With a stiff face, he asked,

What else are you trying to do?

They say the dead do not talk, but actually, they always have something to say. I want to know the things inside her heart.

After saying so, he drew a talisman.

Jeok Ryun had been a dead ghost for a long time, and the Yin qi within her must have stopped her spiritual power, but she still must have emotions inside of her.

And through various experiences, he knew that talismans would help her. If he could complete the talisman and turn it upside down, it could handle the ghost.

I want to know her heart and feelings.

Then Seol Young threw the completed talisman.

The moment the swords clashed, the talisman containing his spiritual power landed on her forehead.

And Seol Young asked,

What do you want?
