Chapter 15
Fire. It is your turn next (2)
"Lord Neung is waiting." Please go in.As the door opened, a modestly decorated tea room revealed itself.
"It's been a while."So-ye smiled softly.
"I was a bit concerned because Confucius was coming.""Hmm.""Please sit down, I will serve you tea.""As Un-hyeok sat down on the chair, So-ye poured a cup of tea that she had brewed in advance."
"The scent is nice." It seems like quite an expensive car."It's the Great Red Robe." It is a type of tea that is rated as the highest quality in Fujian Province."The hospitality is generous." Seeing you easily part with something so precious."How is Confucius different from other guests?"So-ye put down the teacup and lowered her head.
Thank you.”
“……."At that time, I was too flustered to say it, but Confucius is the benefactor of my life.""If Ryu-yeon didn't know that he was the traitor, he would have been stabbed in the back at a crucial moment."
So-ye would have no way of not knowing.
"Surely, you don't intend to settle that debt with Great Red Robe, do you?""That can't be true.""So-ye, who smiled, intertwined her fingers and leaned her body forward."
"In the future, Dragon Brocade Hall intends to fully support the work that Confucius wishes to undertake.""You've made quite a big decision." What kind of wind has blown for this to happen?"Oh, Confucius's eyes cannot be deceived." In fact, I heard that Confucius had a duel with Neung Ja-pil.The result is Dok Un-hyeok's victory.
I was so surprised to hear that news.
"As expected, just as I predicted." Dok Confucius was hiding his abilities. Revealing that means I no longer have to hide my skills."The ideal rule is to buy at the knee and sell at the shoulder.""So you decided to try walking towards me?""Yes."Not a dragon.
Hidden Dragon of the Poison Demon Sect.
There was definitely enough value to invest in.
"And just in case, I've also assigned someone to my younger siblings.""What?""It seems like you get along well with your siblings." If something happens to the two of them, wouldn't it be a big deal?"Ah, really this information light."
So-ye is sitting and penetrating all the information in the world.
But there was one thing she did not know.
"There's no need to go that far."Un-hyeok also buried Crimson Calamity Tracking Incense in the ground just in case.
A poison used for tracking purposes.
It is easy to make, and if anything happens, Un-hyeok can immediately find his siblings' locations.
"Of course, with someone like Mu-won, no matter who challenges him, he won't easily be defeated." In the martial world, being careless is forbidden...Un-hyeok did not feel the need to talk to So-ye about this.
Instead, I expressed my sincere gratitude.
"Thank you for your concern.""What do you mean? This is nothing." It's a simple task."By the way." What happened to Hong Ryu-yeon? Did he ask for information about Woo Mun-so?"No... Ryu-yeon bit her own tongue while being tortured and ended her own life.""...It turned out that way after all.""Did Confucius foresee this?""Because he's such a crazy guy." I had a rough idea."In fact, whether Hong Ryu-yeon lived or died was of no concern to Un-hyeok."
I knew all the information I could get from him.
But So-ye's expression was not good.
"Woo Mun-so must have sent Ryu-yeon knowing that they would do this.""That would be the case."So-ye bit her lips.
"I feel like I've been taken advantage of again." I should have found out what Woo Mun-so's plan was through Hong Ryu-yeon."There's no need to worry about something that has already happened." As promised, I will definitely kill Woo Mun-so."However, all of this was for Un-hyeok to get to the main point."
"There is something necessary for that."”
“…?"I want to borrow some military equipment, are there any good ones at Dragon Brocade Hall?""Everything from the Poison Demon Sect was of low quality."
"As it is, Dragon Brocade Hall said they would support us in every way, so I was planning to borrow it even as a temporary measure."
"Yes, please follow me." Let me guide you to the armory of Dragon Brocade Hall."Thank you.""Let's take our time to hear about the plan to kill Woo Mun-so.""So."
The two people arrived in front of the armory of Dragon Brocade Hall.
As the door opened, the military uniforms hanging on the rack revealed themselves.
Un-hyeok slowly began to look around at them.
"Choose as much as you like." As for Dok Confucius, I will lend you anything."Hmm...."However, there was no weapon that caught Un-hyeok's eye more than expected."
"It's better than that of the Poison Demon Sect, but still all at an ordinary level."After looking around for a while, there was one piece of equipment that caught my eye.
"Oh...."Un-hyeok drew the twin daggers from the scabbard and swung them around.
The center of gravity is well balanced.Not only that, but when I flicked the sword with my fingers, it even produced a transparent sound.
Clear evidence that it has undergone the forging process of a skilled artisan.
There was something strange.
"With a weapon of this quality, it wouldn't be out of place to have the artisan's name engraved on it." Why is it not there?Usually, artisans infuse their works with their spirit.
Or they carve their names to elevate their own reputation.
But this is...At that moment, So-ye came closer.
"As expected, you chose this." Well, unless the eyes are like a knot hole, even an unfinished weapon is better than most things."Is this unfinished?"So-ye nodded her head.
"Yes, this is Gwang Ya Gong (Crazy Craft)." It's their work.Gwang Ya Gong (Crazy Craftsman), U Gwang Mu.
He is one of the powerful figures known as the Three Great Masters of the World.
I never imagined that name would come up here, not even in my dreams.
"This was received as a kind of advance payment.""Advance payment?""Gwang Ya Gong has requested it." Please find me a rare mineral that is among the most sought after in the world."Why on earth...?""To create the world's best sword." That's because it's his wish."Oh, is that why?"
Gwang Ya Gong will fulfill his wishes in the future.
‘Blood Calamity Demon's World Destroying Sword.The true culprit who handed the worst weapon to the killing star bestowed by the heavens.
Of course, it took quite a long time for that to be revealed.
Un-hyeok adjusted his chin.
"It would be great if Gwang Ya Gong could be brought to the Poison Demon Sect."Before entering the Water Demon Cave.
Un-hyeok set a goal to establish the financial foundation of the Poison Demon Sect.
One of the biggest problems of the Poison Demon Sect currently.
It is a granary that is immediately torn apart by poverty.
So Un-hyeok was planning to run the forge again, which was one of the various businesses that the Poison Demon Sect had operated in the past.
Since there is no profit yet, what is needed before that can be borrowed from Dragon Brocade Hall.
I have a secret technique that I learned from one of the other great masters in the Sichuan Tang Clan.The problem is.
Is there any way to obtain ore that could enchant Gwang Ya Gong?Un-hyeok knows what Gwang Ya Gong truly wants.
All you need to do is to break the ice.
If such ore exists, it would be possible to create Un-hyeok's unique weapon.
In other words, it's a two-for-one deal!
"Dok Confucius, are you going to use that as a weapon?"Un-hyeok woke from his thoughts at So-ye's call.
"Ah." Let's do that.Un-hyeok strapped the weapon to his waist.
Since I realized it was from Gwang Ya Gong, I didn't need to look at any other weapons.
"Can I bring a few memorization items?""Of course." Take as much as you want.Thanks to So-ye's generous permission, I was able to gather various memorization tools including Crow Feather Needles.
At that moment.
It was felt that the Crimson Calamity Tracking Incense had changed at Un-hyeok's nose.
'Could it be that something happened to Mu-won?'As expected.'
Someone from the Dragon Brocade Hall rushed over to report to So-ye.
"Oh no, this is a big problem!" Lord Ark!"What is the matter?""W-well..."
Bang-do looked at Un-hyeok's expression and decided to tell the truth.
"Dok Confucius's younger siblings have been attacked!""***
On the other hand, a secluded alleyway.
Huff huff huff-!
Mu-won's back was blocked by a wall as he gasped for breath.
"Ugh...!"Mu-won gripped the sword with one hand and hid Seo-ryeon behind him with the other.
"Brother....""It's okay, Seo-ryeon." No matter what happens, this brother will protect you.Contrary to what he confidently said, Mu-won's condition was not good.
Clothes that have become rags.
In particular, there was a quite deep stab wound on the side.
"I can't believe that was a trap."After breaking up with Un-hyeok.
Mu-won wandered around the marketplace with Seo-ryeon.
But at that time.
A group of ruffians is intimidating an old woman.
Mu-won could not bear to pass by it.
But it turned out that the old woman was also in cahoots with the rascals.
Phew-!
-
Hehehe, little one. In the martial world, women and children. And have you never heard the advice to be careful with the elderly?
When Mu-won was ambushed by the old woman, he had no choice but to be helpless.
A figure with a sword slung over their shoulder displayed a grim smile.
"Hehe." A rat-like bastard. I can't believe you could even cut one of us and escape all the way here with that body. But now there is nowhere left to run!"Who ordered this?""Well?" If you're curious about that..."Tadat-!"
Chae-ae-ae-aeng!
Mu-won's sword and the stranger's sword clashed against each other.
"Find out for yourself.""Ugh!""Naturally, I am overpowered in strength."
In addition, an intangible energy was also rippling against the opponent's sword.
‘Sword Qi!Mu-won tried to evade the attack from the assailant.
However, the relentless attacks were gradually overwhelming Mu-won's insides.
What should I do?'Hehehehe!" "You novice, seeing that your sword has become duller than earlier, it seems you have a lot on your mind!""Shut up!"Mu-won struck down hard from above.
After the stranger let it slip, he deflected Mu-won's sword with a technique of touch.
“!Mu-won's sword left his hand and was embedded in the ground.
The stranger was about to strike down with a sword towards Mu-won's wrist.
"First, should I take one wrist with me?""...No!"
The moment Mu-won tightly closed his eyes.
Swish-!
A warrior suddenly flew over the wall from the air and cut off the strange man's wrist.
"Kkeu, kkeuaaaak!" My hand... my, my wrist...!"Are you okay, young master?"As Mu-won slightly opened his eyes, a wounded warrior was in front of him.
"You, Lord Neung?""That's a relief." It's because I'm not late."No, how on earth did I get here..."I will give you more details later. Getting out of here is the priority right now.Japil hid Mu-won behind.
The situation is worse than expected.
I couldn't even request reinforcements because I arrived in a hurry, and my physical condition was at its worst.
'...there's nothing I can do.Woo woo woo woo woo!
The intangible Sword Qi rippled in Japil's swordsmanship.
Cough-!
Because my injuries from Un-hyeok have not fully healed yet, blood oozed out from the corners of my mouth.
But Japil shouted while hiding his pain.
"Get out of the way!" If anyone dares to attack first! No matter what happens to me, I will make that guy my companion on the road to the afterlife!"Was it because I saw my colleague get hurt in an instant?"
Japil's threats were quite effective.
The assailants, pressed by the momentum, slowly began to retreat.
'Alright, I can take Young Master Mu-won and Miss Seo-ryeon like this.I thought I had found hope.
Someone stepped on the shoulders of the thugs and appeared in front of Japil.
Swish-! Thud!
The kick of the stranger who appeared while doing a somersault.
Japil was hit squarely in the chest.
"Ugh...!"Japil took a few steps back.
The man who landed turned around and scolded the thugs as if they were pathetic.
"You idiots, are you scared of someone who's about to die?""The moment Japil heard the voice, he recognized who it was."
“Go Eoryeong!"Tsk, now it seems hiding it will be useless."Eo-ryeong took off the mask.
There was a glint of malice in his eyes.
In fact, the intention to capture Dok Mu-won and Dok Seo-ryeon was to corner Un-hyeok.
However, the identity was revealed.
Now, in order to prevent future troubles, I have no choice but to kill.
"You foolish fool, if I had known your identity, I would have settled for taking just an arm." Today, Dok Mu-won and Dok Seo-ryeon, the two lovers, are dying because of you, Neung Ja-pil."If the Lord of the Poisonous Horse knows about this, do you think he will just let it go!"Eo-ryeong chuckled.
"How naive of you to say that.""What, what...?""Your corpses and such." If you bury it deep in the mountains of a hundred thousand peaks, isn't that enough? Then, how would the Dokma Trail know that we did it?"The dead do not speak."
Eo-ryeong drew a sword from his waist.
"First of all, you are annoying." First, let me kill you."Who do you think you are!" Mr. Neung, I will help you too."Young master....""There's no need to hurry." Next is Dok Mu-won, it's your turn."Movement like lightning!"
Screech!
The moment Eo-ryeong swung his sword towards Japil's neck!
Waaaaah-!
A dagger striking the swordsmanship of Eo-ryeong in an instant.
Because of this, Eo-ryeong's sword-swinging trajectory was off.
"Ugh!" What kind of guy are you!Eo-ryeong looked around, but there was no one.
However, it was a strange thing.
Thud-!
Thud-!
Thud-!
The warriors fall one by one, powerless.
As Eo-ryeong looked at them, there were things stuck in their necks like Crow Feather Needles.
What is it...? When did I forget the memorization?In that moment, a voice colder than the north wind echoed in my ear.
"Did you do that?""Creepy!"
Eo-ryeong, who was unnecessarily scared, shouted loudly to hide it.
"Who, who is it!" Can't you show yourself right now!"I think it would be better to correct the order.""
Step by step -
Step by step!"
A dark alley.
The figure in the company slowly revealed itself from the legs to the face.
Eo-ryeong recognized him immediately.
"You, are you Dok Un-hyeok?"!"He spoke as he retrieved the dagger he had thrown."
"It's not my brother's turn next."Un-hyeok's eyes quietly burned with the flames of anger.
"It's your turn."”
