Episode 286
“The criminal was caught?”
“They said he was dead. “In the guest room in the corner over there.”
“Huh… Which guy was it? Sapa? Demonic religion?”
“Well… I’m not sure about that, but I heard that Daein Hong put an end to the situation by collecting the body…?”
People’s stories were heard from all over the place.
The evil beast that had terrorized the entire Jangsa area died, and his body was taken from the government office.
Since it was declared that the evil beast had been caught and killed at the government office rather than anywhere else, it seemed certain that this incident was over.
However, many thoughts were still going through people’s minds.
Some people claimed that Mo Yong-hyeok-mun was an evil beast, or that he was a member of the Safa or Demonic Cult, and all sorts of speculations were being made.
The incident was over, but anxiety seemed to remain in people’s minds.
Meanwhile, unlike the noisy business, Dan So-mi was playing in the peaceful yard of Honam Danga, and in the training hall, Kwon Mu-jin, Majang-gang, and Je-gal-yeon were frantically concentrating on training.
However, some people were sitting peacefully on the veranda, none other than Dan Woo-hyeon, Jang Sam-tae, and Mae Hyang.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Jang Sam-tae intently.
Sensing those gazes, Jang Sam-tae turned his head.
Mae Hyang was wrapping a clean cloth around Jang Sam-tae’s fingers, and whenever she moved, Jang Sam-tae flinched and frowned, probably because it was quite painful.
“Your finger went out?”
“…yes.”
“So you can’t compete?”
“No… I can’t do it because it hurts.”
Jang Sam-tae looked somewhat aggrieved.
How can I participate in the martial arts competition when my fingers are sore?
No, shouldn’t Dan Woo-hyeon be responsible for making him learn this dangerous martial art in the first place?
He opened his eyes and expressed his dissatisfaction.
“Isn’t your other hand fine?”
“No, I don’t use any weapons, but at least I have to use both hands!”
“Nangong Cheon fights well with just one arm.”
“I’m not Ohwang, am I?”
Jang Sam-tae chuckled and made a bewildered expression.
How can you compare Ohuang and an ordinary person?
“Aren’t we the same person?”
“Could it be a person like Wusin and the Five Emperors?”
“…Then maybe it’s a person?”
“…Hehehe.”
Jang Sam-tae smiled brightly.
Even though he said something, he looked the other way as if he had made a mistake.
Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze was staring at me, and it hurt me a lot today. The good news is that his hand didn’t fly away, and from that expression on his face, it seemed like he would die if he hit him, so he didn’t touch it.
Jang Sam-tae sighed in relief.
“No matter what, I can’t do it! “Why didn’t you tell me in the first place that it was such a dangerous martial art?”
Some people who were listening to that from afar looked on with quite surprised expressions.
He could not hide his surprise at the part where Dan Woo-hyeon, not someone else, taught him martial arts himself.
“Even if you tell me, it’s still a mess. “Some people are anxious because they can’t learn.”
“Hehehe Lee Samtae! There is no need for danger, and I want to live and die comfortably and comfortably next to Jangju and Somi.”
“I see.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.
His expression was very gentle, but his eyes were strangely cruel. Jang Sam-tae noticed that Dan Woo-hyeon’s judgment was completely distorted.
“There is a place I must go.”
“Oh, where is the time for that? “I’m busy preparing for the martial arts competition.”
If this continues, you will die. Jang Sam-tae thought instinctively.
I don’t know exactly where they are sending him, but if he takes on the job Dan Woo-hyeon tells him to do now, he will never return in good health.
“okay?”
“yes! I will work hard and win for Jangju! “That’s it!”
“Right.”
Dan Woo-hyeon sighed as he looked at Jang Sam-tae who kept nodding his head. Then, I glared at the man’s grinning face.
That gaze was so stinging that Jang Sam-tae turned his head without realizing it.
For some reason, this ominous feeling did not go away.
On the day of the martial arts competition preliminaries, countless martial artists gathered, so the business was literally crowded.
Although there was not even room to step, there were not as many people participating in the competition as expected.
Most of them seemed to be there for the sights or to win a lot of money through gambling.
Although it is hosted by the King and there are significant rewards, when it became known that later leaders of the Cheondohoe were participating, those who judged that there was no chance of winning quickly withdrew.
In fact, most of those who participated were those who were hungry to cross swords with the late exponents of eight major families or those who were confident in their own skills.
“It’s amazing….”
Namgung So-hye muttered in a low voice as she looked at the preliminaries.
The intense confrontation unfolding here and there was so great that it was eye-rolling.
Those watching also booed at low-level fights and cheered when there was a fierce battle.
That loud sound sent shivers through my whole body.
“If we continue like this, of course we will be doing good deeds.”
Zhuge Yan, who was nearby, muttered, burning his fighting spirit.
Not only Namgung So-hye, but most of those who participated in the Honam Danga won the preliminary round.
Since it was a preliminary round with the purpose of shaking off the losers, it was natural that the finals would be decided since we won without much trouble.
“Is that…?”
“Hwang Bo-young….”
Wow!
Soon a shout was heard.
In the large venue on one side, Hwang Bo-young stretched out his fist and instantly defeated a man several times larger than himself.
The cheers heard at that moment were greater than any cheers I had heard before.
I thought it was an achievement created by the expectations given by the name of the Eight Great Emperors and the splendid martial arts skills.
Zhuge Yan looked at it and smiled.
What appeared on my lips was obvious ridicule.
“You still like flashy things.”
“Because it’s personality.”
Even Namgung Sohye shrugged her shoulders and smiled awkwardly. Given the personality of Hwang Bo-young, who likes to stand out in front of others, it was a natural result for her to overpower her opponents with flashy and cool martial arts skills.
I also knew that this was a fatal flaw in a battle where life and death were at stake, but it did not seem that easy to fix.
However, on the other hand, there were some who made the audience remain silent.
The only thing that can be heard from there is the scream of the fallen person.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
A person who is lying around with his/her entire body turning black.
His lips were turning blue and his mouth was spitting out dead blood. Eventually, his body began to tremble, but soon became limp.
“Four… murder…”
“He is not dead.”
The referee approached the woman’s cool answer cautiously. When I checked the pulse of the fallen person, fortunately, I found that he was breathing.
However, the spiritual condition is not good.
I felt like if I left it like this, I would most likely lose my life.
Moonhye Dang.
She, a member of the Four Heavenly Dang Family, lightly shook her hand and turned her back.
The surprise of giving up the game in less than a second was surprising, but the hand itself was so cruel that it left people speechless.
“It will be resolved within an hour, so you can leave it alone.”
“Ah… I understand.”
The referee barely nodded his head at the words he heard.
I had to get the man out as soon as possible, but I couldn’t do anything for fear of becoming addicted.
“Is that kid your greatest enemy?” Namgung Sohye looked at Tang Munhye intently.
Tang Wen-hye also looked at Nangong Xiao-hye the moment she passed by, and those cold eyes seemed to shake a person’s heart.
“It’s scary.”
“That’s right.”
The two women shrugged their shoulders and smiled. Since I was well aware of Tang Mun-hye’s personality, I had no idea what that gaze meant.
It’s a provocation.
It means to attack somewhere.
The two women smiled bitterly and looked elsewhere. At that moment, Jang Sam-tae, who was competing wearing the mask of Macheongun, was seen using various techniques to subdue his opponent.
The movements were quite agile, which was surprising.
at that time.
bang-!
A loud noise sounded from somewhere.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were focused on one place.
On one wall of the large conference hall, an eight-foot-tall man could be seen collapsing, trapped against the wall.
It is unknown by what method he was hit, but his eyes were already rolled back as if he had suffered a significant blow, and his face was covered in blood.
“S… victory…”
The referee said the man’s victory with a blank expression.
Just one move at best.
She didn’t use an eagle weapon like Tang Mun-hye, but it was just a single swing.
The eight-foot-tall, sturdy man was trembling and stuck against the wall, unable to do anything.
Wearing a mask with the image of Asura engraved on it, he looked as if he was angry, but the mask did not reveal his true face, arousing people’s curiosity even more.
“What… just happened?”
People whispered, but no one could give an answer. It was a thrilling move that made me feel like I had actually seen the saying that hands are faster than eyes.
Even among the later generations of the Eight Great Families or the ronin who were confident in their abilities, none of them noticed the man’s methods.
Trudging –
The masked man came down from above without saying a word.
Perhaps he was unaware of the fact that everyone’s attention was focused on him, or perhaps because he was not interested, he disappeared without notice.
“Uh… what a great expert.”
Namgung Sohye clicked her tongue and looked at the person’s back. He doesn’t seem to have disappeared anymore, but I thought he was the strongest person I’ve ever seen in this venue.
Perhaps the person to be most careful of was not Tang Mun-hye, but the man from before.
“Yes, you look strong.”
But then I heard a grave voice nearby.
It is Zhuge Yan, who is staring at the place where the man has disappeared with a dumbfounded expression.
It was as if he was fed up and he sighed that there was nothing he could do about it.
“what’s the matter? “Do you know someone?”
“Yes? No… I just… feel sorry for someone…”
Zhuge Yan looked at Jang Sam-tae with a pitiful expression.
He was staring at the back of the man who had disappeared with a look of astonishment. He pinched his cheek several times as if he couldn’t believe it, then sat down and pulled out his hair.
“Well… I think people should live good lives. right?”
“O huh?” Namgung So-hye, who couldn’t understand what was going on, just tilted her head.
He looks like he has no clue what he’s saying.
Zhuge Yan patted the innocent Nangong Xiaohye on the shoulder and shook his head.
I thought that if it was a relationship that old, you should recognize it just by looking at it.
