Vol 2 Chapter 61. Tell the Jade Emperor to Come Out, Jade Emperor! (2)
Immediately after the first clash.
Lü Dongbin’s sword, which had blocked Patrick’s sword, counterattacked in reverse.
SWISH!
His sword became a silver thread cutting through the cold night, slicing Patrick’s body in half.
And immediately after….
“Excellent.”
Lü Dongbin let out a word of admiration and simultaneously twisted his body quickly.
FLASH!
Immediately after Lü Dongbin dodged.
A sharp strike slashed across the spot where he had been in a cross shape.
“Tch, he dodged this.”
Patrick expressed his regret.
Beside him, Patrick’s illusion, which Lü Dongbin’s sword had cut, was fading away with a soft sound.
It was Form-Shifting Position Change, Patrick’s specialty.
Lü Dongbin admired that sight.
“That is a Form-Shifting Position Change close to divine skill. I even felt the sensation of actually cutting when my sword passed through. Truly magnificent.”
Lü Dongbin praised Patrick’s skill unsparingly. Of course, there was no way the opponent would be pleased with such praise….
“Hehehe. You don’t have to go that far.”
No, he likes it.
“Kuh, right. Since you are a Sword Immortal, you recognize how amazing this is. As expected, fights should be between people of matching levels. Indeed, indeed.”
Lü Dongbin sighed.
He could not get a grasp on how this human was put together.
“Now, let’s continue….”
“Before that, let me ask you something.”
“Sssss… Talking a lot before fighting is the twenty-eighth thing I hate.”
“Why do you hate so many things? A human who has even ascended to the divine rank?”
“Ahem!”
His insides were boiling.
He had heard he was this kind of human, but facing him in person was beyond imagination.
What on earth was that tongue that was gnawing away at the foundation of a thousand years of cultivation from the bottom up?
Lü Dongbin sighed deeply, composed his mind, and spoke calmly.
“Why on earth must we fight?”
“Huh? You’re asking because you don’t know?”
Patrick spoke with an expression that said he was the one who didn’t understand. At that, Lü Dongbin thought again just in case he had missed something. But….
‘I don’t know the reason.’
No matter how much he thought about it, there was no reason for him to fight Patrick here. To such Lü Dongbin, Patrick slapped his forehead and spoke.
“Wow, just how rock bottom is your character that you don’t even know what wrong you guys did? How can you be like this? Huh?”
“I do not want my character pointed out by you!”
At Lü Dongbin’s scream, Patrick spoke with a face chillingly cold.
“If I summarize what you said earlier, aren’t you telling me to quickly catch the Blood Demon and beat him up?”
“That is correct. Didn’t you cross over to this world for that purpose? I am here to reprimand you for not being faithful to your original purpose….”
“Reprimaaaaand!”
“…….”
“Are these bastards really crazy? Reprimand? You guys? Me? What? Do you want to die?”
“No, why the sudden outburst….”
“Hey. Forget it and tell the Jade Emperor to come out. You won’t do. Tell the Jade Emperor to come out!”
The First Law of a Nuisance.
Call for the superior in a loud voice.
“No, there is no way the Jade Emperor would come out, is there? More than that, is there a reason for you to be angry….”
“Reason? You are curious about the reason? Ah, right. Then let’s go over it one by one.”
Patrick spoke while rolling his eyes.
“In the first place, the ones who caused this mess are the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon. You know that, right?”
“Th…at is so. I acknowledge that.”
“Do you know that when that Heavenly Demon went over to Pangemonia and caused a scene, you guys couldn’t handle it, so you arbitr·aril·y dispatched a poor, pitiful soul who had absoooolutely nothing to do with it to the Continent of Pangemonia?”
“That is….”
“You remember, right?”
“What does that have to do with now?”
“Why does it have nothing to do with it? Why?! Aren’t I explaining the damages I suffered because of you guys right now? You Sword Immortal bastard with hair growing on your conscience!”
“Uh….”
“Am I that bastard? I went there, suffered all sorts of hardships, and eventually even sliced off the Heavenly Demon’s head. Huh.”
“…….”
“Are you listening!”
The Second Law of a Nuisance.
Explain the damages you suffered with maximum focus.
“Did I not suffer like a dog because you guys sent my soul to another world as you pleased? Is that right? Is it not?”
“That is…?”
“Right or not?”
“So….”
“Can’t you answer? If you can’t, call the Jade Emperor. Is it right? Is it not?”
“It… seems right. However….”
“However? There is no however. You just acknowledged my damages, right? It was clear. You acknowledged the damages!”
The Third Law of a Nuisance.
If you catch a weakness, bite and hang on until the end.
Once you come this far, it’s done.
Now the opponent is nothing more than a sucker to be ripped off. Sympathy is unnecessary.
Pick them clean down to the marrow.
“I, you bastards! I suffered like a dog in the world you sent me to as you pleased and eventually saved the world.”
“I think that is magnificent. However, thanks to that, didn’t you also ascend to the divine rank?”
“Ah? Is that so? So what? Are you telling me to be thankful?”
“…….”
“Did I ask you to send me? Did I?”
“You… didn’t.”
“Then why are you talking bullshit? Don’t talk nonsense and listen quietly. You petty immortal!”
“…….”
It was unfair.
That was the Celestial Realm’s decision, and it wasn’t his fault, so why did he have to be chewed out here as the representative?
Whether Lü Dongbin thought that or not, Patrick fired away frantically.
“Furthermore, just because the Blood Demon’s main body remained and was plotting a conspiracy, you sent me, who was living well, here. But what? An order? Don’t dawdle and move quickly?”
“…….”
“Do you have a conscience or not?”
“I am the top dog. I am the top! And you guys are the underdogs! How dare a petty underdog act like a top dog to the top dog? Huh?”
“Wait, that is a bit….”
“Tell the Jade Emperor to come out. Tell the Emperor!”
An all-time greatest nuisance.
A person who should never be specified as the top dog in any contract.
That was the man named Patrick Sky Schneider.
* * *
Lü Dongbin realized.
Trying to have a conversation with this human in the first place was a mistake.
‘If I knew it would be like this, I should have just kept fighting.’
Because he conversed for no reason, isn’t that dual-wielder in front of him screaming his lungs out towards the sky looking for the Jade Emperor?
Above all, the most troublesome thing was….
‘His argument sounds plausible.’
Strictly speaking, if asked who provided the cause of this matter, it lies with the Celestial Realm that sent Patrick’s soul to Pangemonia as they pleased.
It was a price paid as a sacrifice of the few for the greater good according to the Heavenly Demon’s demand, but who would have known?
“Come out, Jade Emperor! Are you ignoring me? Hey?! Are you ignoring me?”
Who would have thought that the few would ascend to such a powerful divine rank and act like such a nuisance after returning?
Honestly, Patrick’s arguments were all valid.
From Patrick’s perspective, the Celestial Realm were the ones who sold him off.
And even though he had no particular obligation, he crossed the wall of worlds and came to catch the Blood Demon.
In such a situation, a person calling himself an envoy of the Celestial Realm came and delivered the Jade Emperor’s order with a high-handed attitude, so….
Even an ordinary person would be angry enough.
‘No, even so, what kind of human shows such an attitude against the Jade Emperor of all people?’
Ordinary people would shed tears, be moved, and do their best to carry out the order with all their heart and soul upon receiving the Emperor’s command.
That is the mindset of a normal person.
There has never been a human in the history of the Celestial Realm who screamed and argued for the Emperor to come out like that.
Then what should be done?
Although his speaking attitude is unjust, there is an undeniable justification in that argument.
If by any chance Patrick raises this issue to the higher Divine Realm….
‘No. I must prevent that at least.’
Lü Dongbin, having made up his mind, said to Patrick.
“You talk too much.”
“Jade Emperor, come…. Huh? What did you say?”
“I said you talk too much.”
“Right now….”
Before Patrick could say anything, Lü Dongbin drew his sword and spoke in a grave voice.
“Since ancient times, whatever the argument, a swordsman is an existence that enforces their will through the sword.”
“…….”
“If you want to whine like that, try defeating me, the Sword Immortal.”
“Does that mean….”
“…….”
“Since words won’t work, you’ll use force….”
“No use for questions and answers!”
The Sword Immortal moved forward first.
At his sword momentum that filled the heavens and earth in an instant, Patrick bared his teeth and said.
“Force if words don’t work? Good. That’s exactly my taste. You bastards!”
Patrick, charging forward towards the myriad sword momentums, became a single streak of golden flash.
BOOM!
Thus, Sword Immortal Lü Dongbin and Patrick Schneider clashed in earnest.
* * *
First move.
To Lü Dongbin’s myriad sword momentums, Patrick responded with Flashing Dragon Strike. That flash pierced through Lü Dongbin’s sword momentum and reached him at the center.
But the opponent was the Sword Immortal.
Lü Dongbin blocked Patrick’s attack and simultaneously moved his other hand to control the sword qi filling the heavens and earth.
[ Eight Immortals Dancing Sword: Ten Thousand Worlds Sword Secret ]
Up, down, left, right.
Sword qi poured towards Patrick from everywhere without a gap.
Sword Control Art using only sword qi, not using a sword.
‘This is possible?’
Patrick couldn’t help but be surprised by this one move.
Indeed, the Sword Immortal.
At the sword qi pouring from all directions, Patrick had no choice but to unfold the maximum defensive technique he could perform.
[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Fifth Form: Dragon Scale Whirlwind ]
ROAAAAAR!
It could not even be compared to what Mun Yul or Yun-a performed.
A tornado of fierce sword qi, like a dragon ascending to heaven, wrapped around Patrick.
CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH BOOM!
Lü Dongbin’s sword qi could not pierce the whirlwind of sword qi Patrick unfolded. However….
‘I waited for this moment.’
In the first place, the initial attack was a move to drive him.
It was merely a move driven to aim for the small gap that occurs after unfolding that defensive technique.
The real thing is this.
[ Eight Immortals Dancing Sword: Heaven Ring Sword ]
Lü Dongbin’s sword drew a circle.
The ring of light formed following the trajectory of that circle surrounded Patrick before he knew it. And then….
“Seal!”
Following the Sword Immortal’s command, the sword ring pressured Patrick in the air.
‘Let’s restrain him first, press him down, and then talk again.’
Thought the Sword Immortal.
“This is….”
Patrick was flustered.
As expected, the opponent was Sword Immortal Lü Dongbin.
Sealing with a sword?
He had never even thought such a thing would be possible. But….
“Do you think I am Sun Wukong?”
I am Patrick Schneider.
A man who does not get restrained.
[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Sixth Form: Nine Dragons Under Heaven ]
Intense Formed Qi of Intent bursting from the tip of Patrick’s sword.
Nine dragons stretched out in all directions and crashed into the ring of light created by the Sword Immortal.
“Keu-heok….”
A handful of blood came out of Lü Dongbin’s mouth.
It was difficult to maintain the sword ring due to the terrifying repulsive force.
‘What on earth….’
According to Lü Dongbin’s theory, Formed Qi of Intent reveals the person’s nature as it is.
In that sense, the will felt from the nine dragons rampaging madly inside his sword ring right now was Viciousness itself.
How could this be the sword of one who walks the righteous path?
“Un… unreasonable.”
The Sword Immortal might want to deny reality, but regrettably, nothing changes by doing so.
CRAAAAASH!
With a roar that seemed to shatter the heavens and earth, the Sword Immortal’s sword ring broke. And as soon as the seal was released….
ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR!
Nine dragons fell from the sky to the ground.
“Crazy bastard….”
Lü Dongbin clenched his teeth.
This was a sword truly determined to kill. He could not receive it by holding back. Then….
“I will show you the sword of the Sword Immortal!”
Simultaneously with his shout, Lü Dongbin’s sword pierced the sky.
The moment his sword pierced the sky, a blinding white light shone from the heavens.
In an instant, night disappeared from the Songshan area, and light brighter than midday filled the place.
In the midst of that, as Lü Dongbin lowered his sword….
[ Eight Immortals Dancing Sword: Sky Limitless Sword ]
A giant sword of light descended from the sky to judge Patrick.
This was truly the ultimate technique unfolded by gathering all of Lü Dongbin’s sword merit and divine power. And….
“Good.”
A smile formed on the lips of Patrick facing this overwhelming sword.
Right. If you are a Sword Immortal, you should be at least this much. Only then can I do my best too.
Light gathers at the tip of Patrick’s sword.
And that light moves, drawing a trajectory in the empty air, taking on a form.
Soon, the moment it became a dragon of light….
“Go!”
With Patrick’s command, it ascended vigorously toward the sword falling from the sky.
[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Twelfth Form: Final Secret Art: Radiant Dragon’s Reign Under Heaven ]
“Th-that is…. What on earth?”
“Oh my, Buddha.”
“Uh… Ubububu….”
At the moment the Sword Immortal and Patrick’s secret arts collided.
A tremendous explosion of light occurred in the Songshan area.
