[ Manbaknogoe (4) ]
Dokgojun faints Because I was there, I didn’t hear Manbaknogoe’s warning.
Even if I had heard, I wouldn’t have cared.
“No monster! “Quickly subdue that guy!”
Dok Go-jun’s eyes were full of murder as he glared at Daein because he was ambushed by Daein and ended up in a miserable situation.
“I’ll tear your limbs apart and make you beg to be killed!”
In response, Manbak Nogee, who was about to get angry at Dok Go-jun, asked with a puzzled expression.
“What do you mean? This child is a descendant of Geomwang. “Shouldn’t it just be handed over to the client?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? “The descendants of the Sword Emperor are not in my hands right now.”
Dok Go-jun shook Nam Goong-hyeon, who was holding his neck with his free left hand. Namgoonghyeon said with a pale face, “Ugh.” He moaned.
“…Not this guy?”
Manbaknogoe forgot to get angry and looked at Daein and Namgunghyeon alternately.
I was sure that this arrogant guy was a descendant of the Sword Emperor, but…
“Did I guess wrong?”
“shit. “I told you so many times no.”
The great man grumbled as he adjusted his grip on his sword.
The situation was close to the worst. Nam Gung-hyeon and Old Man Jin were captured by the enemy, and Dae-in suffered a considerable wound to his shoulder.
‘That monster old man ruined the whole plan.’
All the best.
The great man remembered the name from his memory.
One of the hundred great masters, he was famous for his ugly appearance and various eccentricities rather than his martial arts skills.
But I’ve never heard of it being this strong.
Are you a 100-year-old expert?
Daein felt that even among the teenage masters, there would be very few warriors who could deal with Manbak Nogee.
“Cluck cluck. There are all sorts of strange things happening. Their martial arts skills and even their personalities and auras are exactly alike….”
Now, the Manbak no-goe lowered his sword and laughed. The deadly force that seemed to cut through my skin disappeared as if it had been washed away.
There was something strange about the atmosphere.
The great man asked him subtly.
“Did you know Geomhwang?”
“Cluck. I know. “We had a very special relationship.”
The expression on the face of the old man who said that seemed to be contemplating old memories.
‘I don’t know the exact story, but maybe the relationship wasn’t that bad…’
The great man said, glancing at the warriors who were gradually narrowing the siege. He openly praised Manbaknogoe.
“That powerful swordsmanship. “Now I see that he was a close friend of the Emperor.”
“Didn’t you just call me a crazy old man?”
“That can’t be right.”
Daein took advantage of the disadvantages. And then he formally took the gun from the Manbak Nogee and said.
“Seniors. “I will cherish the teachings you gave me with the sword today deep in my heart, just as life engraves them into my bones.”
It was a moment when a fight in which swords were swung as if to kill was portrayed as a martial arts senior teaching a junior a lesson.
It was an obvious trick, but the shamelessness of it made Manbak Nogee burst out laughing.
“Cluck. Oh my gosh. “It looks like you put some oil on your tongue.”
However, as if he was not in a very bad mood, Manbaknogoe lowered his sword.
There was no more will to fight in that appearance.
“What are you doing now!”
As the atmosphere took a strange turn, Dok Go-jun’s expression hardened.
‘Manbaknogoe was acquainted with Geomwang?’
It was my first time hearing such a story. Actually, it was a story I wouldn’t have believed even if it had been told at any other time.
However, seeing that Nogoe was hiding such strong martial skills… Dok Gojun’s mind became complicated.
This was the power of an absolute master.
If he wanted to, he could decide whether everyone in this room was alive or dead.
And he intended to do so.
“The excitement has died down.”
Manbaknogoe let go of the sword he was holding.
At that moment, the sword flew and moved as if it were alive.
-Sigh!
The sword flew at the speed of a beam of light and cut off Dok Go-jun’s arm. It was the left arm that was holding Namgoonghyun’s neck.
“Kaaak!”
Dok Go-jun hurriedly stepped back. The sword that cut his arm swung around in the air and this time cut both of his legs.
Sigh!
It was the most ideal form of swordsmanship that the great man had pictured thousands of times in his head.
The great man looked at the scene in fascination.
‘It’s awesome.’
Dok Go-jun, with both legs cut off, fell to the floor.
The old man walked languidly towards him.
Dok Go-jun screamed loudly.
“You old man! “You were planning to kill me from the beginning!”
“Cluck. Hey. “Didn’t you also try to silence me by killing me after finding out about the Sword Emperor’s martial arts skills?”
Dok Go-jun flinched.
“What do you mean! “I never made up my mind like that!”
“Did you think I didn’t know what you were up to?”
The old monster laughed at the warrior lying at his feet.
A kid who doesn’t even know the subject who dared to think that he could kill himself.
“In the first place, I was not interested in the martial arts of the Sword Emperor.”
“Then why…”
“…It is said that Geomhwang’s bloodline, which was thought to have been cut off, is alive. “I was wondering if it was true, so I played along with your rhythm for a while.”
Manbaknogoe turned his head and looked at Namgunghyeon.
The girl was supporting the injured old man Jin and looking at him with a very frightened face.
“You were a girl.”
“…….”
Namgoonghyun lowered his head.
As expected, crossdressing as a man did not work for the expert, who was a veteran of all walks of life.
Manbaknogoe looked at that with a complicated expression for a moment and then shifted his gaze back to Dokgojun.
[The blood death of Geomhwangmun 15 years ago. Is the Mo Yong family involved?]
Dok Go-jun flinched at the sudden sound.
[If I tell you what you know, will you let me live?]
[You’re going to die anyway. I’d rather let you die painlessly by my hands.]
Dok Go-jun’s face turned an earthy color.
That was right. If things end up like this, he will no longer be able to live in the martial arts world. Because the evil deeds and resentment he has accumulated over the years will come back to him.
But I still wanted to live. It was an instinct of life.
[Please save me! Hide me in a safe house and I will give you all the information you want. And I will give you all the wealth I have gathered…!]
Manbaknogoe no longer listened.
“Tsk tsk. That’s it, you guy. “Even if I don’t hear it from your mouth, I have a rough guess.”
The sword floated into the air. Dok Go-jun saw that and his eyes widened.
“No monster! No, no! No! Elderly! “Please save me!”
Looking down at Dok Go-jun, who was shouting urgently, Manbak Nogee smiled softly.
“Hey. “I should have done well on a regular basis.”
Suddenly!
Dok Go-jun’s severed head rolled on the floor.
Manbaknogoe kicked it with his foot.
puck! One of the warriors of the dark blood group who was trying to sneak away was hit on the head and fell to the ground.
“Cluck.”
A sword floated above the smiling old man’s head.
That’s three sacks at the same time.
“Don’t even think about one of you getting out alive. “It would be good for the martial arts world if you guys disappeared from here today.”
The line created by the three swords united dozens of warriors.
Phew! Puff, puff, puff!
The time it took for the warriors of the Dark Blood Corps to be wiped out was just a matter of time.
Even after creating such a scene, Manbaknogoe did not show any signs of difficulty. He turned his head and looked at the survivors.
“Cluck, click, click.”
Nam Gung-hyeon, Old Man Jin, and Dae In were standing there looking very nervous.
“……”
The old monster’s gaze stayed on the great man the longest.
‘When I first met Namgungga, he looked young like that.’
I don’t know how surprised I was when I first saw Daein’s martial arts skills. I thought the Geomwang had been reincarnated as a young man and came back to life.
‘I guess that’s why I’ve lost the vigor of my youth.’
He had a lot to say, but decided not to.
“Cluck. “I’ll see you again when we meet again.”
However, without leaving room for a single word, he jumped into the sky.
In an instant, Manbaknogoe’s new form climbed over the fence and disappeared into the darkness.
“Phew…”
The three remaining people finally let out the breath they had been holding.
“I never thought there would be such a master in the world….”
“I thought I was going to die from suffocation.
Old Man Jin and Nam Gung-hyeon were so relaxed that they sat down on the floor.
“…The sword fight you had with me was a joke.”
The great man continued to look in the direction where Manbaknogoe disappeared. The image of him wielding three swords still hasn’t disappeared from my mind.
‘If that monster had decided to kill us too…’ I
honestly wasn’t sure if I could have survived even if I had used all my tricks.
“I thought I had become quite strong. “There is still a long way to go.”
The great man shook his head and tried to shake off the shock he had just received.
He spoke to the two people sitting down.
“How long will it be like that? “Now we have to take care of our business.”
The two people struggled to get up. And then I started searching the manor with Daein.
Thanks to Manbak Nogee’s cleanup of the cancer group, they were able to rob the empty house with ease.
***
The next day.
The warriors of the Moyong family, who responded to reports from residents that there was a bloody smell, were speechless when they saw the horrors unfolding inside the manor.
“Oh my god…”
The corpses of more than a hundred unmanned people were lying around.
The number of corpses was a number, but there was something more surprising than that.
Most of the corpses scattered throughout the manor had no signs of pain on their faces.
That means that he suffered without even realizing the moment of death.
“Most of them died with one sword.”
The commander of the Moyong family nodded at the words of the military officer who inspected the corpses.
“To kill this many warriors by yourself… you must be a great expert.”
The Commander-in-Chief’s expression was stiff.
Among the corpses, his eyes were looking at the corpse of Dok Go-Jun, who died in a particularly horrendous manner.
This was also the reason why the Commander-in-Chief came here in person.
‘Amhyeoldanju is not the type of man to die like that.’
A man whose name was unknown and who could become a 100-year-old master died in a miserable state.
The Commander-in-Chief looked at the corpse with a quite serious expression.
‘What on earth happened last night?’
The Mo Yong family was the owner of the land here in Liaoning.
But last night, an incident occurred here that they were not aware of.
‘No way…’
The general recalled the information he had received from the master of the dark blood group not long ago.
-I think there will be good results soon-
It was all cut out front and back, but it was a sufficient report for those who knew the inside story of the matter.
Finding those who ran away from Geomhwangmun 15 years ago.
The request was entrusted to the Amhyeoldan.
Of course, the general manager did not entrust the request in the name of Mo Yong Sega. When I came here, I always hid my identity and wore a human skin mask.
However, since it was a request that had been going on for 10 years, I thought that the dark blood group might be aware of their identity by now.
‘I was planning to eliminate the dark blood group first after this request was finished, but…’
They are all already dead.
And that too to an expert whose identity is unknown.
‘I feel uneasy anyway.’
At that time, the warriors of the Moyong family who had gone in to look inside the manor came back and spoke.
“I stole everything that could make money. I guess it was the work of thieves aiming for Dokgo Merchant’s money…”
“You idiot.”
“yes?”
“Get out of the way.”
The Commander-in-Chief pushed the warrior and walked into the manor.
It was as if he had been there often, but the warriors of the Moyong family did not even notice and did not ask anything.
“Don’t follow me.”
The Commander-in-Chief said so and went into the room of Dok Go-jun, the leader of the dark blood group. His eyes scanned the room sharply.
“…Who searched first?”
There was a slight opening in one part of the wall. The Commander-in-Chief stretched out his hand and pushed against the wall.
Kugoogung!
The wall was pushed aside, revealing a hidden space.
The space was filled with piles of mixed up documents. The Commander-in-Chief took out the documents and quickly looked through them.
In the meantime, most of the dirty work of murder, robbery, kidnapping and the source of funds committed by the dark blood group remained in the documents.
But there was just one thing missing.
‘There is not a single document related to the inspection report.’
What that meant was clear.
The master who came here last night took it!
“Is there anyone out there?”
The warriors of the Moyong family came rushing in. The commander-in-chief hurriedly gave them instructions.
“Go and prepare the fastest Jeon Seo-gu. “I will send a letter to the head of the Murim Alliance.”
“All right.”
“And find out everything that happened around here last night. In particular, thoroughly investigate whether any outsiders have entered or left the area!”
“yes!”
The warriors of the Moyong family responded loudly and quickly dispersed.
The Commander-in-Chief looked at the back and muttered to himself.
“I guess I should tell the other heads of the family as well. And…”
The Commander-in-Chief muttered in a voice that was barely audible. It was closer to a sigh.
“I guess I should tell him too.”
***
“Why on earth are you doing this?”
“What do you mean?”
“Haa…”
The great man sighed, looking at the old man who was acting like a fool.
When I met Manbak Nogee again half a day after leaving Liaoning, my heart sank.
Because I didn’t have the confidence to handle it if a fight broke out.
Fortunately, nothing special happened.
“Cluck. “It’s amazing to see it again in one day.”
Manbaknogoe disappeared as suddenly as he had appeared, leaving only a few words.
And the next day. Manbaknogoe appeared again while the group was eating.
“Cluck. “Is there such a thing as a coincidence?”
When he appeared for the third time, he subtly joined the meal, got some food and alcohol, and then suddenly disappeared.
And it showed up again the next day, and
the next day again.
At this level, it was like companionship.
In the end, today, a week later, Daein had no choice but to say one thing.
“Why on earth do you keep following us?”
After leaving Liaoning, the group was on their way to the Murim League in Hanam.
The old man followed behind at a reasonable distance, and when it was time to eat, he quietly sat down and ate.
“Cluck. I’m just going wherever my feet take me. “You happen to be right in front of me.”
“Oh yeah? So which way are you going tomorrow?”
I asked with the intention of avoiding that place if I told them the location.
However, Manbaknogoe was not caught easily.
“You go wherever your feet take you. “I’ll go wherever I feel like tomorrow.”
It was like saying that he would keep following me.
The great man frowned.
I couldn’t help but feel nervous as I was followed by a dangerous inspiration whose intentions I could not figure out.
‘I can’t kick him out because he’s more expert than me…’
It was clear that the old man enjoyed seeing people in trouble. He picked his teeth with a toothpick and giggled.
“Cluck, click, click.”
Daein’s stomach was churning. It had been a long time since he felt this high.
It was then.
“You.”
The old man called to the great man in a soft voice.
“Are you not interested in learning martial arts from me?”
