Episode 452
“Huh… Hah…”
Jang Sam-tae took a deep breath and looked around.
The number of men lying around increased to ten.
All of them seemed to be top-notch, and the blades were exquisite and their movement was also considerable.
Jang Sam-tae, who had subdued those people, continued to look at the people lying around while trying to catch his breath, as if he could not believe that it was his own doing.
‘I’ve become stronger… really.’
Jang Sam-tae had an expression of disbelief.
With skills that weren’t even third-rate, he always lived on the run.
He now took on ten people who were likely to be top-notch experts and subdued them without even getting hurt.
No matter how you think about it, isn’t it a funny story
?
It was proven that none of what I had learned from Dan Woo-hyeon and the five old men was in vain.
Jang Sam-tae clenched his fists.
Meanwhile, Hong Won-chang opened his mouth.
“Uh… That’s amazing… Now,
yes….”
“Hmph! It’s as simple as this! Isn’t that right?”
“Haha, it’s really amazing. Now I feel like I can’t even reach my toes.”
What Hong Won-chang said was true.
For a time, the two men’s skills were equal.
Except for the light attack, the difference could be said to be a sheet of paper.
However, it is no wonder that Jang Sam-tae, who has grown rapidly while experiencing countless things by Dan Woo-hyeon’s side, is now called a full-fledged martial artist.
“Big! By the way, what are these guys? Why are we being attacked in the middle of the street in broad daylight?”
“Hmm… since we have a seat, let’s go somewhere else. “I don’t think it would be a good place to talk in a place like this.”
Hong Wenchang looked around.
Many people whispered and looked at the current situation. How great is the surprise that government figures were attacked like this?
Moreover, the martial arts shown by Jang Sam-tae were also unusual, so it was only natural that gaze did not fall off.
You don’t even know where other raiding teams may be.
From Hong Won-chang’s perspective, he wanted to get out of this place as quickly as possible.
“Where are you going?”
“Of course… isn’t this where the lord is?” Jang Sam-tae crossed his eyebrows.
Even so, I thought that Dan Woo-hyeon would be very uncomfortable if Hong Won-chang came back with another problem while the monster issue was not resolved.
And that
was… the correct answer.
Three people were facing each other.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was looking at Hong Won-chang and Jang Sam-tae alternately with a stern expression, looked as if he was shocked, while Jang Sam-tae lowered his head and trembled as if he did not know what to do.
“I sent you to look for monsters, and I found something interesting.”
“Lord… Master, you are coming to pick it up!”
Hong Won-chang broke into a cold sweat.
I knew that he wasn’t usually very welcoming, but today he seemed especially displeased. What even are monsters?
There is no way such a legendary story could actually exist.
“Can’t you please welcome me?”
“Because every time you come, you bring troublesome things with you.”
“…That’s for sure.”
Hong Won-chang broke into a cold sweat.
This is because they are trying to bring work today without fail. But I couldn’t figure out what to say, so I took a deep breath, feeling anxious.
Finally, Woohyun could not bear the silence and opened his mouth.
“So what happened?”
“I was attacked in the middle of the street in broad daylight. “If Jang Sam-tae hadn’t come and saved me, I would have been a corpse already.”
Jang Sam-tae proudly straightened his shoulders. He seemed to have a high opinion of his own abilities, as his tone and actions were powerful.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at it and laughed.
“wherefore?”
“That… That’s it… Do you know the person called Yeokgwi (疫鬼)?”
“This is my first time hearing it.”
“He is a murderer who has been rumored for a very long time. However, such a person was seen in Beijing and a murder occurred. “And that too in the middle of the imperial castle.”
“Huh… that’s crazy.” Jang Sam-tae laughed with a shocked expression.
Committing murder in the middle of the imperial castle is tantamount to insulting the Emperor. It would be difficult to even imagine how many necks would be put on hold if caught.
This was also the reason why Heungwonchang, who was supposed to be in Honam, was called to Beijing.
But the problem was something else.
“The deceased was a high-ranking official of Jeongi-poom. “He is someone who has earned your Majesty’s trust for a long time.”
“Because?”
“But while the body was being examined, something strange happened. “The body disappeared without a trace right before my eyes.” The moment he heard that story, Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes changed.
As if he knew why it happened. However, without saying anything, he kept his mouth shut and listened to Hong Won-chang’s words.
“A report was received in such a situation. The whereabouts of Yeokgwi have been found. I followed him and came here… but at some point, strange people started attacking me.”
“You managed to survive….”
“I was lucky. “Many of my subordinates died, and innocent people died protecting me.”
Hong Won-chang trembled.
He also did not know in detail what kind of person Yeokgwi was. In fact, there were only rumors, and very few people actually saw it, and they did not even know that he had a subordinate.
If I had known that he had this many experts, I would have sent Dong Chang or Geumuiwi instead of Hong Wonchang.
“Am I really… one part a monster and the other a ghost? “What nonsense…”
Jang Sam-tae clicked his tongue after hearing the whole story.
It was laughable that a murder was committed in the middle of the imperial castle, and it was also absurd that the body suddenly disappeared. I felt like a fool for even coming down here to chase it.
If it had been Jang Sam-tae, if he had sensed even the slightest danger, he would not have moved directly and would have sent someone else.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon nodded and looked at Hong Won-chang.
He paused for a moment as if thinking about something, then opened his mouth with a grin.
“You’ve been through a lot of interesting things.”
“Well… I thought I was going to die, really…”
Hong Won-chang wiped away the cold sweat and sighed.
I came here after being chased, breaking through, and making countless efforts to somehow survive my life in danger. Just when he was giving up on his life, thinking that there was nothing he could do anymore, Jang Sam-tae appeared and saved him.
For Hong Won-chang, there was no day as lucky as today.
He came towards Dan Woo-hyeon, crying.
It seemed like the overflowing emotions were in his eyes and he was trying to comfort them.
The moment when Jang Sam-tae, who was watching from the side, made a bewildered expression.
Pot-!
……?W
Jang Sam-tae had no idea what had happened.
Hong Wenchang stretched out his sword.
It is not a long sword, but a dagger hidden on the wrist. The swung blade grazed Dan Woo-hyeon, and Dan Woo-hyeon only stared at Hong Won-chang with a nonchalant expression.
“It’s a shame. The acting was pretty good, but…”
“Huh!”
Dan Woo-hyeon, in turn, grabbed Hong Won-chang’s dagger and slashed it straight away. ‘Sigh!’ Blood splattered out along with the sound, but the afterimage of Hong Won-chang in front of his eyes did not disappear.
“……2W
Jang Sam-tae just watched the absurd situation.
Without understanding in my mind what was happening, I only noticed Woohyun’s movements.
At the same time, ‘Bang!’ With the sound, the entire room shook violently.
Grumble!
It felt like an earthquake had occurred.
The wall was heavily damaged and the two people were no longer visible.
It is so fast that it is impossible to even see it with the eyes.
“What?”
Jang Sam-tae tilted his head, still not understanding.
Suddenly, Dan Woo-hyeon and Hong Won-chang were no longer visible in the room.
“What’s going on?”
At that time, the door suddenly opened and Dang Mun-hye came inside.
Eventually, I looked around the room and my face turned pale.
It’s a mess.
There were holes in the walls and all kinds of household items were swept away and rolling around on the floor.
The moment I looked at it, I was so shocked that I couldn’t even speak. Because I couldn’t believe that something like this had happened so suddenly.
When I looked at Jang Sam-tae with a gaze demanding an explanation, he shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know… what is this?”
Jang Sam-tae blinked and shrugged his shoulders.
“Tsk….”
“The idea was good… In fact, I almost got fooled.”
The two people were standing on an unknown roof, facing each other.
Most of Hong Won-chang’s clothes were torn, probably due to the shock from the previous blow, and there was blood around his mouth.
But it didn’t look like he was seriously injured.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Hong Won-chang’s abilities are beyond imagination, considering that even a single blow from Dan Woo-hyeon of the world resulted in only minor injuries.
“How did you know?”
“The wind told me.”
“Haha….”
Hong Won-chang laughed, making an absurd sound.
Is it possible for the wind to tell us something?
No matter how great a martial artist he is, this is impossible.
Even Emperor Wu of Heaven cannot do that.
Wood-duk-!
At that time, Heung Won-chang’s face began to distort in an instant. It bounced here and there, as if a bone was about to pop out, and regained its original shape again.
Soon, Hong Won-chang’s figure disappeared and a pale-faced hunchbacked man stood there.
“He’s one of the evil-faced twins….”
“…Hehe, it’s my first time meeting you. They are called the evil-faced demons who are the murderers of the evil-faced couple. “I don’t think there could be a greater honor than this, to be face to face with you.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
Dan Woo-hyeon was staring at Heungmyeon-gwi.
Even if he ran away, he didn’t seem to have any intention of missing out.
The sharpness in his eyes grew stronger. The moment you make eye contact, you will not be able to look at it properly, no matter how evil it may be.
He trembled.
“I think it’s even more amazing when we see each other face to face. I don’t think this evil-faced demon alone will be a match for you…”
The evil-faced demon made a perplexed expression as he said those words.
With a pale complexion and even red lips, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised every time he spoke, so if the darkness deepened, he would really look like a monster or a ghost.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon asked without any surprise.
“Where is the other guy?”
“Well… I’m alone here… I’m not sure?”
Dan Woo-hyeon groaned.
Although they are originally two people, I have heard that it is no exaggeration to say that they are one body. If that were the case, it would mean that there was someone else, but there was no sign of that person anywhere.
In the end….
“He’s the kind of guy who needs to be alert to open his mouth.” “ha ha ha!”
The evil face smiled.
I thought that no matter how much I was a military person, I could handle it if I let my guard down, but that plan was so easily crushed.
However, I have no intention of bumping into that guy right now.
He twisted his red lips even more into a smile and opened his mouth.
“It doesn’t matter anyway… will it be okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“That Hong Won-chang… he might die?”
The evil-faced demon saw Dan Woo-hyeon momentarily flinch while trying to take a step. Realizing this, the evil-faced demon quickly retreated and flew away.
At the same time, strange people appeared from all directions.
Are you planning to help the evil demon escape?
They are people with considerable power.
The moment they rush towards Dan Woo-hyeon.
Let’s go!
Blood was sprayed everywhere, and the body disappeared so completely that not even a single piece remained. What falls from the sky is only the blood of those who were human.
However, even though his subordinates were killed before his eyes, the evil-faced demon did not care at all. On the contrary, he moved further and further away, and his voice filled with powerful energy boomed.
“If you don’t find it quickly, you will die! Hahahaha!”
