Chapter 11. Beheading with Tears (3)
Meanwhile.
The warriors watching Ja-pil's reaction stirred.
"What's going on? Why did the Head Chief suddenly collapse?"
"Did he trip on something?"
"Head Chief, stop joking around and get up! We need to finish the match quickly!"
However.
"Ugh, uweeek-!"
When Ja-pil started vomiting, the warriors were shocked.
"What is that…?!"
"The Head Chief has been defeated?!"
"N, no way!"
The world felt like it was spinning.
"Kheu-eung…."
Ja-pil tried to get up, but soon collapsed again.
He couldn't muster any strength in his body.
"Are you frustrated?"
Un-hyeok looked down at Ja-pil and said.
"You must resent me."
Ja-pil bit his lip.
'Indeed. I resent the Young Sect Leader. Madly so!'
The Poison Demon Sect, which was everything to Ja-pil.
How could he not hate Un-hyeok, the cause of its ruin?
"I'm sorry."
…What?
For a moment, Ja-pil doubted his ears.
A coward who had lived his whole life running away was apologizing.
"I'll take responsibility and restore it. So…."
Un-hyeok grabbed Ja-pil by the hair.
"First, let's get some hits in."
…Huh?
Thwack-!
When his face was slammed directly into the ground, Ja-pil's mind went blank.
"Keok…!"
Two or three teeth flew out of his mouth.
But Un-hyeok's hand was merciless.
Thwack!
Thwack!
Thwack!
Blood splattered everywhere, and Ja-pil flailed, but it was useless.
"Eu, eugh…."
His body twitched, already unconscious.
But Un-hyeok didn't stop.
The warriors who watched the scene had lost all traces of laughter from their faces.
"I, isn't that too much?"
"Someone stop him! He's going to kill someone!"
But who would stop him?
No mouse was brave enough to bell the cat.
Just as the warriors were exchanging glances,
Thuk-!
Someone grabbed Un-hyeok's arm.
"H, Hyung-nim."
“…Mu-won.”
"P, please stop now. T, the match is over."
Even Mu-won felt afraid of his brother this time.
After looking at the bloodied Neung Ja-pil once, Un-hyeok turned his head and looked at the warriors.
Hmph-!
Everyone slowly avoided Un-hyeok's eyes.
Their appearance was like scared puppies with their tails between their legs.
'The hierarchy is definitely established.'
Un-hyeok wiped the blood off his face and got up.
"Hey, you there."
"Y, yes…? Are you talking to me?"
"Rank and name."
"T, that's…."
"Can't you speak quickly?!"
When Un-hyeok raised his voice, the warrior straightened his back as if he had been disciplined.
"M, Dark Shadow Squad, Gwak Jeong, reporting!!"
"Okay, Gwak Jeong."
When Un-hyeok beckoned, Gwak Jeong quickly ran over.
"Y, you called?"
"Take Head Chief Neung to the medical bay right now."
"Yes?"
"What are you spacing out for? If you leave him like this, he'll become disabled. Are you just going to stand there and watch?"
"Ah…."
Only then did Gwak Jeong come to his senses.
"I will follow your orders!"
As Gwak Jeong carried Ja-pil away, Un-hyeok waved his hand, telling him to leave quickly.
After that, Un-hyeok stood in front of everyone.
It was then that Mu-won intervened.
"Hyung-nim, just a moment! That arm…."
The cloth tied around the injured area as a temporary measure was already soaked with blood.
"Hyung-nim, you should go to the medical bay quickly too. If you don't get treatment, you'll definitely have a disability."
"It's okay."
Pat-! Pababat-!
Un-hyeok quickly performed Pressure Point Striking to stop the bleeding.
"I've done some emergency treatment."
"Uh…? No, when did you learn Pressure Point Striking… Well, that's not the point. Hyung-nim, you've been cut so deeply that the bone is visible! That's not something that can be solved with just that!"
"Don't make a fuss. Mu-won, this much injury will heal even if I just apply some saliva."
In fact, Un-hyeok had been injured worse than this countless times while carrying out missions in the past.
Compared to then, this was not even considered an injury for Un-hyeok.
"Uh, uh…? Hyung-nim, where are you going!"
Un-hyeok passed Mu-won and stood in front of everyone.
"Listen up, everyone!!"
The warriors tensed up at Un-hyeok's shout.
"I don't know how you've been living in the Poison Demon Sect until now. But you better forget it all. Because it will be completely different from now on!"
"……."
"I'll completely fix your rotten minds. If anyone has any complaints, come forward now!"
It was obvious that things would get difficult in the future.
How could anyone not have complaints?
However, everyone only thought about it in their heads.
There was not a single person who could voice it.
'Head Chief Neung got into that state after resisting. Unless they're crazy, who would complain to the Young Sect Leader?'
'It's obvious that you'll get into trouble if you step forward.'
'Oh no, I'm doomed! I'm doomed! The good times are all gone now!'
Only after seeing their gloomy faces did Un-hyeok nod in satisfaction.
"Then, I'll take it that everyone agrees. But, what are you all doing?"
Un-hyeok, who smiled like a devil, shouted.
"Everyone, bow your heads."
Meanwhile
Lyun Hui arrived in front of the training hall at an incredible speed in the blink of an eye.
'…It's strangely quiet. Could it be that Un-hyeok has already been defeated by Ja-pil and taken to the medical bay?'
Lyun Hui didn't think Un-hyeok would win in the first place.
No, no one would think so.
That's because Ja-pil was the strongest of the Poison Demon Sect warriors.
With an anxious heart, Lyun Hui slammed the door open.
"Un-hyeok, are you alright!"
But the scene in front of him was.
"Uh… ra?"
The warriors were groaning and bowing their heads to the ground.
Some couldn't stand it and collapsed.
At that moment, a stern order was issued.
"It hasn't even been half a moment yet, do it properly!"!"
Lyun Hui blinked and looked at a young man he didn't recognize.
'Who on earth is that young man, disciplining our warriors?'
Then, the young man turned his head and said this.
"Father?"
"…?"
"What brings you here?"
Father?
Lyun Hui only had two sons.
Could it be…?
"Y, are you really Un-hyeok?"
"Yes."
Lyun Hui's eyes widened.
'I can't believe it!'
Surpassing even the most handsome gigolo, his appearance was enough to overwhelm them.
He was worthy of the title of Jade-Faced Young Master.
To be honest, Lyun Hui didn't believe it at first.
'But when I look closely, he seems to resemble my younger self.'
Lyun Hui recalled his past, when he had stolen the hearts of countless women in the Demonic God Church.
At that moment, Un-hyeok's arm came into Lyun Hui's view.
"Un-hyeok, that arm!"
"Ah, this? It's nothing much…."
Before Un-hyeok could finish speaking, Lyun Hui snatched his arm.
When he removed the cloth, the injury was more serious than he thought.
His arm could have been completely severed.
A wound that could never have been caused by a wooden sword.
Lyun Hui asked.
"Did you have the sparring match with a real sword instead of a wooden sword?"
"Yes."
He felt his heart sink.
Lyun Hui raised his voice.
"Why did you do such a dangerous thing!"
He could have lived as a one-armed man for the rest of his life.
"If Mu-won had done that, I wouldn't have worried so much."
Mu-won had been practicing martial arts steadily since he was young.
At least he was skilled enough to protect himself.
But.
"Un-hyeok, you've never practiced martial arts even once! What courage did you have to challenge Head Chief Neung!"
"Because it was a fight that I, as a martial artist, should never avoid."
"……."
There must be some reason, but if Un-hyeok had been ignored by Ja-pil.
His spirit was certainly worthy of recognition.
But that was not something to be praised.
"What you said is right. As a martial artist, there will come a time when you have to risk your life. And you might die. But what you did today was just…."
Lyun Hui said firmly.
"Recklessness and bravado."
"……."
"Un-hyeok. Remember."
Lyun Hui placed his hand on Un-hyeok's shoulder.
"Your life is not light."
At that moment, Un-hyeok felt an unknown emotion.
Because he was taken in as a dog of the Sichuan Tang Clan.
It was Un-hyeok's fate to be thrown into dangerous situations until he died, even if he died.
The world also wanted his death.
'This is a first. Someone is worried about me.'
Feeling a tickling sensation in his heart, Un-hyeok lowered his head.
"I underst… and. I will engrave it in my heart."
Only then did Lyun Hui show a relieved face.
"Okay, that's enough. Anyway."
Lyun Hui looked around.
No matter how much he looked, he could only see one person missing.
"Where is Head Chief Neung?"
It was at that moment.
"Young Sect Leadeeeer!"
With a loud voice, the gate of the training hall was roughly opened.
Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance.
"Hee, hee…."
Black Kill Sect Leader, Go-gu, was dragging two people by the scruff of their necks, his face red.
Lyun Hui frowned.
Although their faces were completely messed up, one of them was clearly Ja-pil.
'Why is Ja-pil in that state?'
Then, Go-gu strode up to Un-hyeok and threw the two people down.
"Ouch, ouch… Augh…!"
Gwak Jeong clutched his waist and complained of pain.
Ja-pil was lying unconscious.
“…What is this outrage?”
He doesn't respond to Lyun Hui's words.
Go-gu only glared at Un-hyeok and said.
"Young Sect Leader, do you know who I am?"
Thanks to the information So-ye had given him, Un-hyeok could easily recognize him.
"Aren't you the Black Kill Sect Leader? But, what on earth are you so angry about?"
Go-gu contorted his face.
"Ha? Are you asking because you don't know? You made our Black Kill Sect warrior a bloody mess?"
For a moment, Lyun Hui thought he had misheard.
Un-hyeok made Ja-pil like that?
While Lyun Hui was wondering what was going on, Un-hyeok refuted Go-gu's words without backing down an inch.
"Black Kill Sect Leader's words are wrong."
"…What?"
"Isn't Head Chief Neung joining the Black Kill Sect from tomorrow? Strictly speaking, he is a warrior of the Poison Demon Sect until today."
"……."
"And Head Chief Neung said this. Since he is leaving anyway, he would say all the complaints he had inside."
Then, Un-hyeok turned his head and looked at Lyun Hui.
"As he said, since we will be strangers tomorrow anyway. So I wanted to show Head Chief Neung what's what and properly discipline our Poison Demon Sect warriors."
"Huh…."
"I know better than anyone how much Head Chief Neung has devoted himself to the Poison Demon Sect. So, with tears in my eyes, I beheaded Head Chief Neung, who opposed me."
No wonder the warriors were all bowing their heads.
Lyun Hui understood now.
'Everyone is scared of Un-hyeok.'
He used Ja-pil as an example to set an example.
Un-hyeok continued to speak.
"And there is a final goal I want to achieve through this."
"Tell me."
"Yes, my goal is to restore the Poison Demon Sect to its former glory. So I will come to the training hall every day to train individually and train the Poison Demon Sect warriors."
"Huh…."
Lyun Hui couldn't believe it.
He doubted whether the young man in front of him was really his son.
'Until a few days ago, he was addicted to women and escaping from reality. How could he have such thoughts… They say men grow up quickly even if you don't see them for a few days. Has he grown up so much already?'
Lyun Hui's eyes were filled with pride as he looked at Un-hyeok.
But Go-gu was not.
He was furious and burst into anger.
"Even so! You made someone who will be a Black Kill Sect warrior tomorrow like this? I won't let you get away with this…!"
At that moment, the hairs on the back of Go-gu's neck stood on end.
It felt like someone was grabbing his neck and strangling him.
When he slowly turned his head, Lyun Hui was subtly releasing his energy.
"Sect Leader Go, I clearly told you earlier."
Lyun Hui said with a cold face.
"Don't cross the line."
"Ha, but…!"
"I don't want to hear excuses. It seems like you've conveyed your regards enough, so please leave."
A clear expulsion order.
Unfortunately, Go-gu was far below Lyun Hui.
His fists trembled at the fact that he had to follow his words.
“…Poison Demon Sect Leader, the Black Kill Sect will not forget this.”
"Do as you please."
Lyun Hui's face became much brighter than before.
How long has it been since he gave Go-gu a blow because of his son's affairs?
It was as if a hundred years of indigestion had been relieved at once.
But Lyun Hui still felt lacking.
'How can I waste this opportunity?'
Lyun Hui turned around and stopped Go-gu, who was about to leave.
"Oh, Black Kill Sect Leader. You asked me earlier."
"…?"
"Who do you think will enter the Water Demon Cave? I'm sorry, but I'll correct my words.He had been hearing about Go-gu's son's bragging for so long that his ears were bleeding.
It is said that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years.
Lyun Hui's eyes sparkled.
'You're in trouble. You think only your son is great? My son is also great, that's what I'm saying.'
Cheok-!
Lyun Hui placed his hand on Un-hyeok's shoulder.
"You should keep a close eye on Un-hyeok."
Go-gu's cheeks twitched.
Lyun Hui straightened his shoulders for the first time in a long time.
"Your son will face him in the Water Demon Cave."
