Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 228

< Episode 63: Queen Hwang (4) >

“From what I heard you have a lot of political opponents right?”

“What?”

“Anyway Mama wants to let go of us so it seems like we have reached the end of our usefulness so we are going to ask them to negotiate with Mama’s life as collateral. What do you think?”

‘!!!!!!’

For a moment the support was tinged with silence.

What Mok Gyeong-un said was enough to shock not only Queen Seo but everyone else.

On the other hand the advance team of the Cheonjihoe side was also the same.

Ganyang the leader of the advance team couldn’t help but feel embarrassed as his eyes widened.

‘No what are you going to do?’

Mok Gyeong-un said he had something to say to Lady Seo Hwang so I wondered if he had a secret plan.

However I had no idea that the compound eye would be a threat that I could not have even imagined.

Not against anyone else but against Queen Seo Hwang one of the four people who control the power of this country and the mother of the Crown Prince.

‘…it’s crazy.’

A threat must have some degree of reality.

Only then can you guide the other person to move according to your intentions but if you suddenly increase the scale like this the results will also become difficult to handle.

How did you threaten to resolve this?

‘If you didn’t know in the past it would be dangerous to provoke Queen Seo in this way now.’

It was not just the backbone of power in words.

If she decides and sets her mind to it she can move the emperor.

In that case the angry emperor could have mobilized the imperial army or political factions to put pressure on the Cheonjihoe.

As a result Ganyang became concerned that the situation would take a turn for the worst.

Sure enough the Queen Mother must have been very angry and her beautiful eyebrows were distorted horribly.

It was strange that she didn’t get angry when she was so openly threatened.

At that time her classmate’s eunuch Chief Suham shouted in anger.

“Yes Inooom! How dare you make such nonsense about someone’s safety? “If you don’t immediately bow your head and ask Mama for your sins I will destroy you and your family…”

“Jean’s thoughts.”

Queen Hwang cut off his urging.

“mama! Do you…”

“Things to say!”

As her voice grew louder Superintendent Jang silenced her.

‘Hoo.’

A strange look appeared in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.

Naturally I thought she would find it difficult to control her anger or be confused by her own direct threats but surprisingly she did not lose her composure even though she was angry.

It looks like he didn’t get to that position just because of his off-white color.

Queen Seo Hwang who stopped her from speaking opened her mouth.

“What is your name?”

Mok Gyeong-un answered her question without any hesitation.

“It’s called tree cultivation.”

“Neck tillage…. Yes wood tillage. “How dare you threaten this rain like this and not be afraid of the consequences?”

“Return?”

“I don’t know how good your martial arts skills are but Master Jang and Peng Chi-jung (capital affairs officer) here are also formidable masters and not only them but there are also hundreds of masters from the Hebei Peng family a prestigious martial arts school of the Wulin faction. “There are soldiers from .”

‘The experts of the Hebei Paeng family also came to support?’

At these words Ganyang swallowed dry saliva.

It seems that Lady Seo Hwang has decided to cut off ties between them and her today.

It’s amazing to see how thorough the preparation was.

If they made a mistake this place could become their grave today.

However Mok Gyeong-un actually answered calmly.

“You prepared with great care.”

One of her eyebrows twitched at this reaction.

“What an arrogant guy you are. “I don’t know if it’s because the liver is overboard or if you’re that confident in your own abilities but I’ll tell you what’s going to happen next.”

“What do you mean?”

“Make sure you keep your word that you will kill them all.”

“yes?”

“If you somehow fail to do that it won’t just be your head to take care of it anymore.”

“….”

“Not only you but all the related nobles will be destroyed and the Heaven and Earth Association of which you are a member will also be held accountable for this incident.”

‘this!’

At the words of Queen Seo Hwang the complexions of Cheonjihoe including Ganyang darkened.

Still I thought they would be swayed by the threats to some extent but instead they counterattacked coolly.

‘Are you going to hold the Cheonjihoe accountable as well?’

As she said assuming that all of this actually happens they will face the worst situation if they fail to kill them all.

This made them all concerned.

No matter how outstanding Mok Gyeong-un’s inaction was the military power prepared by Lady Hwang also seemed formidable.

-Rurg!

Lady Seo Hwang who was watching their reactions filled her glass and said

“Do you see the reality before your eyes now?”

“….”

“So Bonbi will show her mercy and give her one last chance.”

“A chance?”

“okay. Depending on whether or not you seize this opportunity it will depend on whether the anger of this rain reaches the Heaven and Earth Association or not.”

“I’m really curious about that.”

“Are you curious? I’ll let you know when I do. We cannot ignore this sin because it contained profane words that should not be uttered against this monument. So cut off that profane tongue first.”

‘!?’

“And commit suicide. If you do that you will not be guilty of not only your colleagues but also your relatives relatives and the Heaven and Earth Association.”

With those words Queen Dowager raised the corners of her mouth and took a swig from her glass.

-Gulp!

How dare a mere martial arts robber threaten him?

Ever since you started crawling you have been fighting countless battles and eliminating opponents to survive in this cruel and cold imperial palace.

Did you think that you would be so shaken by such threats that you would not be able to discern between right and wrong?

If that were the case it would be a mistake.

‘This is the main queen who survived the imperial palace which was like a plate of thin ice where her life could have been lost at any time and came to this place. I’ll tell you what the price will be if you clumsily try to provoke Bonbi.’

It was right then.

“Foot.”

Lady Hwang’s right eyebrow rose upward.

‘Are you laughing?’

It was absurd.

I was trying to make him realize how tight a tightrope he was walking but he was laughing in this situation.

Moreover that laugh was clearly close to ridicule.

“How dare you…”

“Oh I’m sorry. “It’s so funny to see Mama begging.”

“what? begging?”

“It’s really interesting how you ask someone you’ve turned into an enemy to commit suicide.”

With those words Mok Gyeong-un’s face was torn as if the corners of his mouth were touching both ears.

The sight of her full of malice sent a shiver down the Queen Mother’s spine for a moment.

She wasn’t the only one who felt this way.

‘…This guy is somehow dangerous.’

She just thought he was an arrogant and irreverent bastard.

Her classmate’s eunuch Jang So-gam instinctively sensed a strange ominousness from Mo Kyung-yun.

Maybe that’s why I decided not to simply subdue him but to kill him somehow through combined efforts.

In response Superintendent Jang sent a signal to Top Moon next to him with a glance.

Let’s attack right away.

It was right then.

-Sureuk!

Mo Kyung-un who had been sitting in his seat and laughing disappeared as if scattered.

‘no?’

Everyone quickly looked around as they lost sight of the trace right before their eyes.

The same was true of Dongchang’s sense of place and Topimun who were the most outstanding masters among Queen Consort Seo Hwang’s entourage.

They were doing their best to fight Mokgyeongun in the first place.

How quickly does it take for them to even disappear from their sight?

It was that moment.

-Shudder!

Sensing a faint presence and a sense of discomfort from behind Jang So-gam hurriedly flew toward the back.

‘Gyuhwa Hyeonjo (葵花縣爪) 5th Chosik Muha Level God (舞荷及迅)!’

-grasp!

It was a herbivore technique of striking an enemy aiming at the back with a blow to the face along with a blow from the elbow.

But that was before I could even turn around.

-Park!

I couldn’t turn around because my elbow was blocked by something like my palm.

So I tried to spread my body forward and spread the distance.

-puck!

“100 million!”

With the impact hitting his back he was thrown forward with a deathly scream and crashed into the wall of his patronage.

-bang! Kurrrrr!

It hit so hard that the wall of the wall shattered and the tiles on top collapsed.

“Jang’s thoughts! “This guy!”

Thanks to Jang’s impressions Top Il-moon who had figured out Mok-gyeong-un’s location opened his hand and opened the sword.

It was the 4th second type of Dohaegangcheon of the Five-Handed Gate Sword.

The five-pronged schematic targeted the crown of the head neck shoulders and chest and was incredibly fast.

-Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chach!

At that moment Mok Gyeong-un also responded with a sword.

It was the Seomyeong Kwaedo (閃影快刀) the 7th type of the Flying Ghost Sword method.

Originally Seomyeong Kwaedo was literally a Kwaedo that made the schematic look like Seomyeong but it was quite different from what was unfolding in the hands of the Amjongju.

That’s right too

-Cha-cha-cha-chang!

Mokgyeongun’s capital appears to be still but the top gate is divided into five branches and the incoming diagrams are thrown away all at once.

‘What speed…’

Winning or losing in the speed competition depended on speed.

However Top Gate’s Taocho could not even be compared to Mok Gyeong-un’s.

This goes beyond the difference between walking and running.

Thanks to this Paeng-i-mun’s right hand shot up and Mok Gyeong-un soon found a gap and dug into him grabbed his left arm using Geumna-su’s technique bent it backwards and crushed his right shoulder.

-Park!

“Keueuuuuu!”

-thud!

Five fingers dug into his right shoulder which was pressing down on him and he fell to one knee with a groan probably from the pain.

Top-Moon who had been subdued in just one move by a mere herbivore realized clearly.

‘…It’s impossible.’

If this guy was determined and showed his skills he would be a monster that could not be wiped out even if not only he and his classmate Jang Sogam but everyone worked together.

A monster like this is merely a disciple of a leader-level official of the Heaven and Earth Association?

I can’t believe it.

This level of inaction was not at the level of a latter-day Jisoo but was comparable to an official of the Five Kings level in the Heaven and Earth Association or an elder level of the Gupa Ilbang a major sect if it was a martial arts sect.

At that time Mok Gyeong-un stood and spoke to Queen Hwang.

“mama. “I guess you had great expectations from them.”

-Purrrrr!

Queen Seo Hwang’s hand holding the drink trembled at Mok Gyeong-un’s provocation.

Even if she didn’t know much about her martial arts skills she could tell that her close associates her classmate Jang Sogam and Top Moon were no match for her.

Lady Xu Huang bit her lip and glared at her eunuch Yu-bong.

[Don’t worry. Although he is stronger than God if he is a Pang Daein he will be able to easily subdue him.]

‘Can you subdue it easily?

I didn’t completely trust what that eunuch said.

However since the people sent by Cheonjihoe were young they were thought to be no match for an expert like Topi-moon who had experience and a reputation in martial arts.

However my expectations were completely different.

‘…Even if support comes will we really be able to subdue that guy?’

There is a saying that no matter how strong you are there is no business in numbers.

She thought so too.

She was but she was strangely sinister.

Would that proverb really apply to a being of such overwhelming strength?

‘We don’t know what will happen yet. one….’

She survived by fighting against numerous enemies in the imperial palace for a long time and her senses became much keener than those of ordinary people.

That sensitivity gave her deep insight that allowed her to survive and rise above.

She said ‘If things continue like this the loss may be bigger.’

She was telling me strongly that her senses had to stop now.

hereto

“stop!”

I raised my voice loudly so everyone could hear.

She then gestured with her hand as if to tell the warriors surrounding the Cheonjihoe side to retreat.

The warriors who were hesitating about what to do with this all retreated back.

Then Lady Hwang opened her mouth in a calm voice.

She said “Did you say neck tillage?”

“yes.”

“It’s truly amazing inaction even though there hasn’t even been an agreement.”

-Clap clap!

Queen Dowager Xu clapped her hands and continued speaking in a somewhat softer voice as if she was impressed.

“Even Jang So-jang and Peng Chi-jung are no match for you… I think Bonbi’s discernment is low and she underestimated you.”

Her plan was simple.

After praising her to some extent by acknowledging her asshole Hae-jin was able to naturally end the situation.

It was the only way for her to resolve the situation without losing her prestige as the Imperial Consort.

Here if she finishes well she will be able to end the painting with a picture of her giving in and showing her generosity no matter what the outcome.

Tyler stood on her ass in moderation….

It was that moment.

– Quad deuk!

“Kwaaaaaak!”

‘!!!!!’

Queen Dowager hurriedly turned her head away at the gruesome scene that unfolded before her eyes.

That was because her right arm starting from the right shoulder of the top door which was pressed down by her neck was torn off.

‘As long as this guy doesn’t go crazy…’

She was momentarily shocked and speechless.

At best she was trying to sort out her situation by giving in. What is this?

Her neck tiller grinned at her confusion.

“It would be troublesome if you were to go off like that.”

“what?”

“Surely it can be resolved if you praise and appease it appropriately? “You probably didn’t come up with such a naive idea right?”

“…Are you really going to try to the end?”

“I’m sure you told me. “At the point when she tried to cut ties with us her usefulness as a mother had come to an end.”

“You! You!”

“Now that I think about it I suddenly wonder whether Her Majesty the Young Crown Prince who lost her mother will be able to survive safely.”

‘!!!!!!’

At these words Queen Hwang’s pupils trembled as if there had been an earthquake.

She turned her head to avoid it but the smell of blood and the sound of blood dripping in all directions were choking her.

She thought they were just going a bit hard to get what they wanted.

But it wasn’t.

This guy was really pushing himself to death.

-thud! thud! thud!

Once swallowed by fear even her heart began to beat like crazy and could not calm down.

Her neck trembled as if enjoying her fear.

“Mama brought all of this on herself.”

“…..”

“Then let’s watch them die one by one.”

With those words Mok Gyeong-un wrapped his arms around Top Moon’s neck who was suffering because her arm had been torn off.

-closely!

“Knock knock!”

And then he tried to twist her neck.

At that moment Queen Dowager Xu screamed in a voice that was close to her scream.

“Stop!”
