Episode 117
“Something is strange…”
Man Hou Liang thought as he chewed his nails.
Contact with those sent to Anhui was lost. Considering their abilities, it would never be possible for someone to kill them.
Even if a completely unexpected person from hiding appeared, the Gangsinbeop and the Twenty-Gwis would have been able to deal with it well if they were the one who was in charge of them.
But still no contact?
Since nearly fifteen days had already passed, Man Hu-ryang’s worries grew even more.
“What happened… What happened…?”
I thought and thought about it again and again.
However, I was impressed because I didn’t get any specific answer. If you are truly being harmed by someone, this is not a problem that can be simply overlooked.
“Is it time to get out of here?”
Unexpected variables disrupt plans.
However, the plan to destroy the Murim Alliance was already progressing step by step, and many people were disappointed and turned their backs on the actions of Mo Yong-hyeok, who was sitting on the throne, and the failure to even respond to the collapsed Namgung family.
Powers were already forming below.
Small and medium-sized clans and families came together, and factions began to emerge one by one.
While the nine factions were united and still trying to maintain their power, the remaining eight major families were preparing for what would happen in the future by recruiting outstanding talents.
This is something they also feel implicitly.
This Murim Alliance may be shaken to its core.
Man Huliang laughed.
This is the true martial arts leader he hoped for. What’s fun about a force united under one leader? Isn’t the martial arts world inherently comprised of numerous factions and one must walk a bloody path among them?
Moorim will soon experience great upheaval.
Wasn’t that the plan?
“What’s going on?”
At that time, Man Houliang turned his head and looked out the window. Although it was clearly a space with no one in it, people looked at it as if there were people standing there.
-There is movement in the direction of the old file room. I believe it will be implemented soon.
“It just worked out well. Even so, I was just about to leave… Hahaha, what will they think if they come into the main battle and see what happens?”
Man Huliang laughed as if it was fun just thinking about it.
I think that if he had tarnished the name of the political faction to a large extent, he would have put a knife to Mo Yong-hyeok’s neck. However, although he is a swordsman who is no different from a ruined person, he is also an expert who is in charge of one axis in the midfield.
It will never end easily.
“Leave some kids alone. “The more you kill one person, the more shaken you become.”
_number of people!
Ahhh W
Manhu-ryang let out a small moan.
Leaving here has already been decided. Although it was somewhat unexpected that one of the old factions, which was not greedy for power, would make the first move, it was an interesting situation in its own way.
‘The eight major powers… will create their own force.’
Man Hu-liang smiled and stood up.
It’s time to get out of here.
“Oh, I forgot. “Find out more about Anhui’s affairs and report back.”
-I will send the children to investigate.
“Okay, okay.”
Man Huliang nodded with a satisfied expression and hurriedly moved his body. The smile on his face did not disappear as he looked forward to what would happen soon.
Majang River broke into a cold sweat. On the way to Hanam with Dan Woo-hyeon.
Even though he was injured due to the attack, Dan Woo-hyeon was walking without even worrying about such things. They were taking a hard-line attitude, as if they were saying that if you follow them, they will follow you, but if you don’t, you will be left behind.
Also, the thing that causes Majang River the most difficulty is none other than that.
There are no words.
Dan Woo-hyeon just walks in silence.
If he didn’t know the way, he would only ask, but he kept his mouth shut, as if he had no interest or interest in anything else.
Although there were many questions to be asked about him, what he was doing, how much martial arts he had practiced, or even about Majang Gang himself, he did not open his mouth.
I know why.
Because I’m not interested.
I don’t ask because I don’t feel interested or even interested in that person. This is because I know that he is a person who will not be strange no matter when he leaves.
Majang River clenched his fists. Are you leaving? What nonsense!
It’s because Dan Woo-hyeon doesn’t know properly. The power of this great Majang River. Although he showed a miserably broken appearance in front of him, his actual position in the central martial arts team is great and influential.
I let out a long sigh, wishing I only knew that.
Slowly night fell.
Majang River, who was moving around with his exhausted body, hoped for some rest, but Dan Woo-hyeon walked about two more hours and found a spacious place to sleep.
And I sat down there.
However, unlike Majang River, who was sitting, Dan Woo-hyeon unpacked his luggage without saying a word, put it down, and disappeared somewhere again, nowhere to be seen.
“…Damn.”
hunt.
In order for people to move, they need to fill their stomachs.
Therefore, one had to hunt or obtain edible items. However, it is difficult to hunt in a situation where all you can do is move.
A few days ago, when Dan Woo-hyeon said he was going hunting, there was a time when he tried to stop him and boasted that he would go alone.
‘And I skipped dinner.’
Majang River blushed as if he was embarrassed just thinking about it.
I never thought that the Majang River in the world wouldn’t be able to hunt properly.
It’s to the point where I can’t even carry my face anywhere.
It was only yesterday that he boasted that he would show him something cool and useful, but now he seems to have turned into a complete piece of trash.
I can’t believe I’m receiving support.
This is something that has never happened before in Majang River’s life.
A man sat down, sighing in frustration, when he heard a strange sound coming from one side.
Slurp!
At first, I thought that Dan Woo-hyeon had returned. However, this sound in the ear feels somewhat different from that of a human.
So is it a beast?
Majang Gang clenched his fists.
Unless your Tao is broken and you have nothing to use, you have to use your fists. Since he had just as much skill as Karl, he could easily take on one or two wolves.
Slurp!
A sound was heard again.
I felt a chill running down my spine.
It’s not a wolf.
But it’s not a bear either.
Since wolves live in packs, there is no way that a single sound can be heard. If it were a bear coming now, it would come forward confidently rather than strike its prey from behind.
A bear has no fear even if it encounters a tiger.
Then there is one conclusion.
wickedness!
I felt chills along with the sound of the wind blowing. As he turned his gaze, a huge tiger came running towards him. If you get crushed or bitten by that thing, no matter how powerful it is, it will be impossible.
Majang River rolled on the ground and escaped it.
Daeho
(大虎), who landed with a rough sound, made a low sound and glared at the Majang River. He looks quite angry at not being able to kill him right away.
“Oh… it’s so big…”
My mouth watered.
I’ve seen many tigers so far, but this is my first time seeing one this big.
I thought that he was probably the mountain king who rules over this mountain. It has four legs that are so large and sharp that one swing of their teeth would kill even a martial artist in an instant.
The moment Majang River saw it, he felt his life threatened.
You have to deal with a tiger in a situation where you are not in perfect condition. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a situation where death is imminent.
I smiled awkwardly and clenched my fists.
Isn’t it true that even a rat squirms when you step on it?
“Come on! “Go for it!”
It is the pride of a warrior.
How embarrassing would it be if at most I were killed by a tiger. As he gritted his teeth and raised his voice, Daeho’s eyes narrowed even further.
He quickly left his seat and moved on.
It ran and swung its huge front paws, leaving deep footprints on the ground. The moment it was hit, I felt enough force to explode the goal.
Majang River dodged backwards and suddenly lunged at him with a punch.
puck!
A sound was heard indicating that a proper hit had been made, but Daeho’s eyes did not change at all and he swung his front foot again.
puck!
I felt extreme pain in my back. The sensation of toenails digging into my flesh was vivid.
sick.
That’s what I thought for a moment.
However, this is not the time to cry out in pain. Ma Janggang turned his body and regained his balance and swung his fist again.
Puk puk puk puk!
It screams one after another.
Instead of hitting with one blow, it went out in succession. The raised fist even cut through the wind, creating an optical illusion that made it look like several fists.
The punch that he threw out with all his inner strength
caused such a shock that no one, no matter how powerful, could withstand it. For the first time, the roar of the great tiger was heard, and the man who had retreated quickly glanced at the Majang River with a wary gaze.
“Damn it…! How hard is it?”
Majanggang grunted as he clutched his open wounds.
Even though he was in a situation that was almost like his last season, he was still sane and instead gave an angry look in his eyes and tried to kill himself.
Is the Majang River in the world flowing like this?
He desperately wanted to turn his back and run away, but he couldn’t. If you try to run, you’ll be a flea, and if you harm Dan Woo-hyeon, there’s no turning back.
Then there is one conclusion.
Risk your life to stop this guy.
I clenched my fists and increased my energy.
He took a stance with determined eyes as if he were about to face a life-or-death decision. It’s either death or destruction! If he dies anyway, I’m going to break at least one of his teeth.
Did you feel that spirit?
Daeho’s momentum became more fierce.
Eventually, it took a low stance and flew off, kicking the ground. It is so violent that it seems as if it will open its huge maw and grab your head in an instant and bite it off.
The moment Majang River looks at it and thrusts its fist towards Fang.
Bye!
With the violent sound of a watermelon breaking, the image of Daeho in front of me disappeared.
‘ uh?’
Daeho, who gave me a puzzled look, flew away and was pushed out of the cage and rolled around on the ground.
The body twitches.
And without even thinking about getting up, he started bleeding.
“What… what is it?”
I can’t understand the meaning, so I just stare at it.
“I will eat tiger meat today.”
Dan Woo-hyeon suddenly appeared and approached Dae-ho with a grin on his face.
After confirming that he had stopped breathing, he dragged the huge tiger with one hand.
“Dae… Daehyeop…?”
“You didn’t manage to escape.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and nodded as if he had done well. It seemed as if he was someone who had been looking at this whole situation from the beginning.
He took out a dagger from his pocket and started cleaning it.
Ma Zhanggang looked at it blankly.
“Uh… why did you save me?”
If I thought it was annoying, I would have left it as is. The reason I was watching from the beginning was probably because I thought it didn’t matter if I died.
Ma Jang-gang did not understand the reason.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon ripped off the skin and opened his mouth.
“It’s because you have good guiding skills. “It’s okay to be proud.”
“My pride is… Is that really the best we can do?”
Majang River dropped his shoulders and sighed.
No matter how hard you worked by his side, he was only acknowledged for his guidance skills.
Majang River said, “I didn’t mean to do this,” and pulled out his hair.
