The middle-aged guy opens his mouth with a firm expression.
“Know each other?”
Yeop Ya-hyung laughs like he wants to intervene.
“Could that even happen? He must be saying anything because he is surrounded.”
The man nods.
“See here Low-Down Sect Leader. Do you have many lives or something? There are names you can mention and those you shouldn’t.”
“I don’t care.”
The man regains his composure and says
“Anyway you don’t have to touch the sect. You are no cult leader.”
I couldn’t say I was the cult leader because that is what I hate the most. The man laughs and says
“Low-Down Sect Leader about what happened this time. It will not end with you dying. For now the Low-Down Sect will be annihilated without leaving a single living ant in it.”
I cut off his words with a serious tone.
“First of all the Low-Down Sect doesn’t accept ants in it. For your knowledge.”
“…”
I look at the man and say
“Now you continue.”
“We will also take down the Black Rabbit Union Nanming Society and more.”
“That sounds scary you brutal people.”
“Fortunately you must be an organization which has nothing to do with the Murim Alliance. It isn’t over. In addition I will investigate from where you started and I will start with taking down those who even passed paths with you. What will happen? People who know you will…”
He pretends to slit his throat.
“Will be decapitated.”
“Why go after innocent people?”
“Shut up. Do not take my words lightly. You cannot handle your life anymore. Do you get it? I will take all your lowest subordinates in your union. Of course they will be pushed through the initiation training. Take the medicine we give them. You get what I mean?”
I nod.
“Who exactly is the captain? Maybe I touched wrong. Since my life depends on you anyway just say it.”
The middle-aged man whispers with a frown.
“A worthless man like you doesn’t have to know that.”
Scratching the nape of my neck I reply
“I can find out. I will find out when I kill you. And I am no trash. The trash are the Demon Cult members.”
As Yeop Ya-hyung smiles the beggar and the woman too laugh.
“Hahaha….”
In the meantime the eyes of theirs were all glaring at me. Even the middle-aged guy smiles.
“You speak so easily.”
Suddenly the atmosphere warms up and I laugh along.
I had no idea what or who was behind these people but anyway the more skillful they are the less likely I don’t know of them. Since the time where I was strong in the previous life hadn’t yet come things like this can happen unknowingly.
And this is my prediction.
It is highly possible that these people don’t belong to a sect or a family but a fairly strong warrior of an Unorthodox Sect or a member of the Five Evils is their head.
If it is a warrior at the highest level then they can treat me like this since I don’t have an amazing reputation yet. Even if it is the Five Evils it is because they are evil people who didn’t get pushed back even in my previous life.
I continued to smile and kept my eye on the middle-aged man so he wouldn’t move ahead. There are definitely a lot of opponents so I continued to look.
My eyes turn to the man who is still silent.
The middle-aged man sitting holds out glove armor. I respond by using Wooden Fowl Palm Force on both hands.
Kwaaang!
When the frowning middle-aged man stops with just three paces. The bamboo hat one draws his sword…
Yeop Ya-hyung too draws his sword and the Demon Angel swings her sleeves while the beggar gets up with a smile and looks at me.
I dodge two of the swift sword attacks which come in and tilt my head to let the Sword qi pass.
In an instant the beggar’s shoes which flew while spinning in the air are halted by my hands.
I respond with Wooden Fowl Palm Force then with my back I step onto the furniture in the guest house which breaks down.
The beggar who got close had spun in the air and retreated.
‘The movements were light.’
In the meantime the Sword Wind which flew in with the intention of securing a wound on me began to break the inside of the guest house.
‘Ah because it is someone else’s guest house look at them ruining it.’
I get pushed all the way to the kitchen and pull out my dagger with my right hand and use my left hand to grab a random kitchen knife.
I put the wooden sword aside like a trump card for a while. First of all I put flame qi into the dagger and kitchen knife.
As soon as I saw everything in front of me splitting into a straight line with a low sound I soar into the air and break down the roof of the guest house.
The bamboo hat guy glares at me.
“…”
The feet of a dagger too moved diligently to block my escape and the Demon Fairy with Yeop Ya-hyung moved to the east and west to block my paths.
Trying to locate the middle-aged man I say
“…. But are you all here?”
Yeop Ya-hyung asks curiously
“What do you mean by that?”
“I was waiting for you to kill all of you. It is a question of whether there are more people who want to die coming here.”
To which the guy smiles.
“This much is enough I think even after killing the Sect Leader we will have enough strength left.”
I answered walking on the roof that seemed like it would collapse.
“No. That is plain delusion. Those who surrender now will be taken to the Low-Down Sect now. Think well if you want to live. Warrior Yeop. Do you have any thoughts now?”
“None.”
I nod.
“Unfortunate. Then you will have to work too hard.”
Suddenly a horse neighs close by and the middle-aged man mounted on the brown horse pulls an arrow from his back.
I mumble in shock.
“Isn’t bow an unfair weapon in Kangho? Insane people.”
It wasn’t unfair to be precise.
The arrow flies in with a ching sound and when I dodge it without difficulty the guy pulls another arrow and says
“… Trust me and go at him. I will continue to aim.”
No one responds to the middle-aged man’s words so I answer.
“… I understand.”
This time I just moved my head to avoid the arrow but the force of it was so strong that I could feel the pressure on my cheek.
In an instant four of them moved from the four directions.
“Oh my…”
I move back into the hole in the roof and slash the arrow which appears and infuse flame qi into the dagger.
Papapak-
With a sound the roof cracks open…
In return the sword wind sword qi the palm and assassin needles pour in.
Bubububk
I rolled onto the ground and threw myself out of the inn.
Now the sound of the bowstring being drawn was odd.
Blocking the arrows flying between the west side I drew the dagger vertically to release the sword qi.
The middle-aged man moves hurriedly to avoid the sword Qi. The reaction is so fast that this horse doesn’t seem like a normal horse. In an instant four people from above the roof come down.
I suddenly look at the kitchen knife I am holding. When there is no time to care about the situation the middle-aged man points the bow at me.
I can’t think of anything and ask
“… so any thoughts about surrendering?”
“…”
“Fine.”
Yeop Ya-hyung smiles.
“Sect Leader your skills are nothing. At this point we stepped too far in to back out.”
The middle-aged man aiming the bow says to Yeop Ya-hyung
“Can you not shut up?”
Yeop Ya-hyung is surprised.
“Sorry.”
“Shut up and attack. He isn’t even fighting properly.”
Demon Fairy rushes in without another word the man in the bamboo hat swings his sword and the beggar just giggles at me.
Yeop Ya-hyung also looks at me while moving his head to and fro as if he saw a chance.
I slash the fly whisk with the dagger. The white fly whisk is made of the white tail of a horse. Naturally it started to smell burnt as my dagger was surrounded with fire qi. It is perfectly compatible with my martial arts.
“You use that weapon like a fool.”
I laugh throwing it away but I can feel something from behind. An arrow comes and Yeop Ya-hyung leaps into the air and swings his sword.
I slash Yeop Ya-hyung’s sword with my dagger and at the same time flick my wrist at the neck of Yeop Ya-hyung.
The guy is surprised to see me extend my left hand out which holds the kitchen knife and twists his body to the back…
The kitchen knife sticks to his shoulder.
Puak!
In an instant after counteracting the palm of the beggar’s I deliberately widened the distance and did a somersault.
I lost the kitchen knife but it was my gain since I stabbed Yeop Ya-hyung.
Yeop Ya-hyung frowns and grabs his shoulder. I nod looking at him.
“It is meant to hurt.”
“Shut up.”
Even in the midst of this the Demon Fairy the bamboo hat man and the beggar rush for me. An arrow flies that makes a sound as it moves.
I smile stepping back slowly.
“… will you follow if I run?”
The beggar answers.
“If you are confident try running.”
I pushed myself off the ground with my left foot and then spun in the air.
I heard a sound from behind which was an arrow to the back of my head.
Swish!
I lower my body down without slowing too much and then stretch ahead to increase the speed. In an instant my madness was flaring up as I moved. How did I get into a good position in my last life if I cannot even handle these people?
Of course after running for a while I ran around the place.
I arrive again right at the guest house and stare blankly at the broken guest house.
“… ruined.”
At this point it seems like it should be because a solid theory is that every guest house I get into is ruined. I guess it is fate now that I have no one to blame now.
Look at the guest house I came into…
And my pursuers come after me.
And as I watch the guest house which was ruined these guys seem pretty shocked too. I look at them not bothered and put my dagger near my chest.
“…”
Yeop Ya-hyung who had injured his shoulder arrives last and lets out a rough breath.
I try to comfort the guy.
“You worked pretty hard. I think you will die in the next attack. Poor bastard.”
I go back into the guest house and sit down on a chair which seemed alright and look at the insane woman the glaring guy the beggar and the injured. Oh the guy with the bow too.
“…”
The beggar stiffens for the first time and the middle-aged man says
“You aren’t a normal mad man? I thought you were running away.”
The middle-aged man gets off his horse and takes a deep breath as he speaks to me.
“You continue to hide those skills of yours do not look down on us. Things will turn bloody. If the knife you had was poisoned then Yeop Ya-hyung would have been dead by now.”
“I get it.”
I speak in a serious tone to the now alive.
“Surrender. A swordsman doesn’t kill without thought.”
The middle-aged man answers
“Now don’t bother responding to what he says.”
I answer with a nod.
“But I am not a swordsman. Actually the one who kills recklessly is now.”
I look at the Demon Fairy
“Even if I am a mad man I don’t kill women. Get on your knees fast I will give a couple slaps and then forgive you. Fools. One fifth of the power you have is lost. As this archer said I haven’t even done my best yet. Why so?”
Self-Reliance.
“The mindset of a swordsman. Aren’t you all just scarecrows being used too? Perhaps being threatened or coerced by an annoying superior. Raise your hand or blink your eyes to me…”
“…”
“None?”
The middle-aged man says to Yeop Ya-hyung.
“Go bring more.”
Yeop Ya-hyung responds with a light nod and leaves.
“I understand.”
When the middle-aged man sits down at the table outside which is a short distance away the others too fall into chairs.
In the meantime I think of Shadow Moon Martial Arts. Of course that is one thing I know. However I hadn’t tried to use it till now.
Of course there is the cold Qi which spreads around. A situation where my mind is clear should be there because if I fail I die. I find a point to use digging into the estimation of how the people are spaced.
For a moment I look at the enemies with the Shadow Moon Martial Arts being used around my body. It was my first time feeling such coldness wrap over me as I used the technique.
When the air begins to turn cold the chair and table ice over…
The facial expressions of the people left sitting begin to change. I sit in the guest house not speaking and then cool my body and swing the wind at the enemies.
“Ha….”
A cold white fog escapes from my mouth like that of a ghost. Among the forms there are for the Shadow Moon Martial Arts this was one with a terrible form.
After hugging the betrayed lover who was freezing and watching them under the moonlight…
I suddenly think of such a thing and my anger rises.
Come to think of it I was never personally betrayed by anyone.
It was especially because there was no place for loved ones in my life.
And as the anger rose the voice of the beggar could be heard.
“This bastard look at those eyes!”
I soar into the air.
