The Green Forest King's First Female Defeat
It was the first female defeat of Ma Hui's life, the Green Forest King.
The title of Green Forest King was originally reserved for the one who excelled most at schemes, plots, and political maneuvering. Ruling over 108 mountain strongholds without discord required more than just raw strength. No matter how powerful you were, your reach didn't extend to every mountain in the Central Plains. Of course, that didn't mean weakness was acceptable either. You needed immense power and mastery of schemes, plots, and politics to claim the throne. Only a bandit who was proficient in both letters and arms could become the Green Forest King.
That is, until Ma Hui appeared. The mountain lord and Green Forest King, Ma Hui—she was a monster who had seized the throne with nothing but her own strength in a mere six months, without a single backer. Becoming the Green Forest King required more than power alone. Ma Hui shattered that obvious truth with sheer force. She proved with her own body that any shortfall in other areas could be filled with overwhelming might.
Ma Hui of the Strength to Uproot Mountains Body. She had demonstrated to all the stronghold leaders what she was capable of right before their eyes, and thus she became the Green Forest King.
"Y-you, you filthy bastard! I'll kill you!!"
And now, that very Ma Hui was swinging her axe at me.
Whiiiiiirrr!!!
The force capable of tearing mountains apart surged toward me aboard the axe, intent on pulverizing me. It was incredibly crude, nothing like the swing of a polished martial artist, but that didn't matter. The power infused in the axe was off the charts. That crude, savage swing carried such freakish strength that it birthed small whirlwinds along its path. Dodge just the axe, and you'd get sucked into the vortex.
The moment I finished my judgment, I kicked off the ground and leaped far back.
Kraka-ka-ka-boom!!!
Immediately after, everything along the axe's trajectory and its surroundings was swept up and crushed by the vortex of its force. The traces of destruction resembled the claw marks of some massive beast. Getting caught in that monstrosity—even a graze would rip off a limb without effort. At minimum, she was on par with Seoryeong, or perhaps even stronger. The Green Forest King truly lived up to her name.
If Seoryeong had been in fighting shape, she'd have rushed in to block Ma Hui right away, but right now, Seoryeong was out cold, defeated by climaxing submission to my cock. Yeon Wol was the same, knocked unconscious from loving sex pickling. At Yeon Wol's current level, she'd die without even understanding why her upper and lower body had been separated, so even if she were awake, I wouldn't have let her step in.
In the end, it meant I had to handle this alone. What a real pain.
Out of nowhere, the Green Forest King swinging an axe at me. Wasn't there some other way?
I raised both hands toward Ma Hui, who was heaving with shoulders rising and falling, and said,
"Green Forest King, let's resolve this with words."
If we could settle it through talk without fighting, nothing could be better. That's why I raised my hands to show I had no intent to fight—but Ma Hui's face flushed beet red, and she got even more pissed.
"D-don't raise your hands! Raising them just emphasizes it more!"
"Ah."
In my panic from the sudden axe swing, I'd forgotten for a moment. Right now, I was standing there with my cock fully exposed. And not just any cock—a still-erect one, at that. No wonder whatever I said wouldn't register on a first meeting while I was panting with this massive hard-on on display. But covering it with my hand wasn't an option either; my cock was far too big for that.
"I left my clothes inside the bath and came out naked. Mind if I get dressed so we can talk?"
I asked Ma Hui, whose expression screamed annoyance at my dick invading her field of vision. If it was hindering conversation, covering up made sense.
"Talk? There's no talking to be done with a freak like you!"
But Ma Hui didn't seem interested in chatting with me at all.
"From the moment you invaded my brother Ma Gal's stronghold and caused a ruckus, all you bastards deserve from me is my axe!"
From Ma Hui's perspective, we naturally looked like thugs who'd illegally occupied her family's business. But I had a rebuttal for that.
"Hold on, let's get the story straight. Your bandits picked the fight first."
Though we had used them to throw off the Subjugation Squad's pursuit. Still, they'd thrown the first punch. We had justification for counterattacking.
"Hah, so what? All the mountains under heaven are Green Forest territory to begin with. Isn't it obvious you prepare to meet bandits when you enter the mountains?"
Of course, Ma Hui wasn't the type to be swayed by justifications. She was the head of the unorthodox factions, a woman who'd claimed the Green Forest throne with her personal martial prowess alone. With such overwhelming power, she could resolve anything by force. Talking her way out of this was impossible.
"Daring to barge into my blood kin's stronghold, cause chaos, and show me that heinous thing—your crimes are grave. The only way to atone is to be bisected by my axe and die!"
Boom!!!
Ma Hui stomped the changing room floor hard enough to shatter it completely, closing the distance in an instant. Her savage charge brimmed with furious rage. Crystal-clear fury, intent on crushing the enemy before her in one blow.
"Die!!!"
Whiiiiiirrr!!!
Facing the massive axe swinging diagonally with her charge, I had to admit it now.
"No helping it, then."
We'd have to fight.
※
Kraka-ka-ka-boom!!!
Ma Hui smashed through the changing room into the bath, relentlessly swinging her axe at the naked Baek Jincheon.
"Argh!!! Just take a hit already!!!"
Ma Hui wielded the axe—nearly as big as her own body—like a feather, light and swift, but not a single strike landed on Baek Jincheon. He dodged perfectly, as if he could see the whirlwinds created by her Strength to Uproot Mountains Body right through them. Ma Hui ground her teeth at his precise technique, pulling his body back just beyond the vortex's reach.
'What the hell is this guy!?'
Ma Hui's five senses were developed to an incomparable degree, beyond even wild beasts. They allowed her to sense an opponent's threat level. But from Baek Jincheon before her, she felt no danger at all. Just a bland, plant-like emptiness. That was all she could perceive from him.
'This vegetable dodging my axe so perfectly. What kind of freak is he?'
While racing here after receiving Ma Gal's messenger pigeon, Ma Hui had focused solely on Jin Seoryeong, leader of the Subjugation Squad. Ma Gal's message had only said a group led by the Subjugation Squad leader had invaded the stronghold and begged for help. So she'd come eagerly, anticipating a fight with the Subjugation leader she'd long wanted to clash with.
Whiiirrr! Boom!!!
Instead, for some reason, she was swinging her axe at a bizarre pervert bastard.
"You're the one wrecking this stronghold more than we are."
"Urk...!"
Needled by Baek Jincheon's mocking words, Ma Hui could no longer hold back. Not that she'd been holding back before, but now she really couldn't.
She hated how he perfectly evaded as if reading her every move, his snide remarks, and especially that massive, rock-hard cock flopping with every dodge.
"I'll sweep it all away."
So Ma Hui decided to obliterate everything in sight. This hot spring in Ma Gal's stronghold was precious to her too, but she had no choice. She wanted to crush this pervert before her as quickly as possible.
Ma Hui gripped the axe haft with both hands, which she'd been wielding one-handed until now.
Grrrrrind—
She twisted her waist, pulled the axe back, and focused her entire body's power into the swing. It was the killing move she'd used against the previous Green Forest King eight years ago—the one that made her queen.
"Full-Power Swing."
'Full-Power Swing' exploded toward Baek Jincheon before her. Or rather, it tried to.
Until the moment their eyes met.
"...Eek?!"
Ma Hui froze mid-preparation for her Full-Power Swing. Not by her own will. Her body had locked up under the overwhelming aura that suddenly blanketed the room.
'W-what is this? That guy. He just picked up his sword. But the atmosphere... it's changed.'
Before Ma Hui's eyes stood Baek Jincheon, holding his pure white sword still fully sheathed. He hadn't even drawn it. Hadn't gripped the hilt. Just held the sheathed sword in hand, and yet the atmosphere had utterly transformed.
'Not a plant. That's... that's...'
Midnight. The bottomless darkness at the base of an endless cliff. Seeing Baek Jincheon with sword in hand, Ma Hui recalled fathomless abyss.
"Hii, hiik."
Ma Hui, who had solved everything with her innate strength, faced for the first time a being that utterly transcended her power. The sensation of prey meeting its predator. Fear surged, her whole body trembling.
Step.
Step.
Step.
Thud!
As Baek Jincheon with sword in hand approached, Ma Hui's grip failed, and she dropped her axe.
Step.
Step.
Step.
Thump!
As he drew three steps closer, Ma Hui's legs gave out, and she fell on her ass.
"Ah, ahh."
When he took three more steps to stand right before her, Ma Hui felt it deep in her heart. This man before her was an existence she could never defeat, no matter what she tried.
The moment his cock's shadow fell over her face, filling her vision entirely with the erect member.
Spurt... spurt...
Terrified, Ma Hui pissed herself.
It was the first female defeat of Ma Hui's life, the Green Forest King.
