Episode 288:
The martial arts competition hosted by the King.
With so many people participating, it is inevitable that security will be strengthened.
If there were people targeting the king, it would not have been surprising if they took advantage of this chaos and attacked at any time.
Of course, there was a group of people with such impure purposes mixed in here too.
-Don’t forget. You must win and stand in front of the podium.
Several people shared that message and made a pledge.
Until yesterday.
They were thieves who wanted to overthrow the imperial family, and the first step in that process was the assassination of King Yeongchin and Geumwangya.
Although some of my colleagues will lose their lives in the process, even if everyone here dies, if I achieve my goal, it will be a great help to my other colleagues.
With that in mind, they pledged their resolve.
but.
Squeak-!
“Gawk…
A man sat down, clutching his nose.
I was shaking in so much pain that I couldn’t come to my senses. Soon my eyes rolled over, but no matter how I looked at it, it seemed impossible to continue the game.
The man looked at the person in front of him in confusion, his mind becoming blurred.
A person wearing a goblin mask.
From preliminaries to finals.
They knocked down their comrades one by one.
I don’t know if the bracket was bad or if they were just targeting themselves, but there wasn’t a single colleague who didn’t collapse in front of that goblin man.
In his blurred vision, the man complained.
‘Rain… Damn it…’
The plan I had made so quickly ended up in vain.
“The winner is the ghost!”
Wow!
With a shout, the person who was called a ghost nodded and came down from the stage.
The eyes that were staring at the person being carried away showed no expression at all, so it was impossible to tell what they were thinking.
The deceased sat down in the waiting room without any problem.
Countless eyes were focused on him.
In a situation where only those who could be considered candidates for the championship remained, the unexpected appearance of a master was not pleasant for everyone.
“You seem to have great skills. Congratulations on your victory.”
Hearing the words being heard, the demoniac slowly turned his head.
Hwang Bo-gwon, whom I had seen last time, was standing there, holding his gun.
The contemptuous gaze he had seen before had gone nowhere, and now it seemed like the intention was to recruit him to the Cheondohoe.
The ghost waved his hand as if he was annoyed.
It’s like chasing away flies.
Hwang Bo-kwon’s face turned bright red.
“What a rude person!”
Hwang Bo-kwon, whose face was red, grumbled and walked to another place. It seemed like he didn’t want to deal with the ghost anymore.
Zhuge Yan looked at it with annoyance in his eyes.
‘You have to hit the person who’s going to hit you.’ It was a situation that could have been exhilarating, but she did not show any emotion on her face. As I glanced to the side, I saw Namgung So-hye watching the deceased with a strange expression.
“what’s the matter?”
“No… I keep feeling like I’ve seen it somewhere…”
“Ugh…”
Zhuge Yan let out a small sigh as he looked at Nangong Xiaohye, who still hadn’t figured out the other person’s identity.
A friend who was somewhat serious about this was quite frustrated.
At that time, loud shouts were heard again outside.
“I guess I won.”
A shout was heard announcing Jang Sam-tae’s victory.
The opponent is the late Jisoo of Cheondohoe.
As expected, the expressions of the late index members seemed to have hardened.
This is because, except for those belonging to the eight major families, others continue to fall.
Hwang Bo-young and Jin Yeon-hwa’s gaze turned to the characters of Honam Danga, including Namgung So-hye.
Unlike them, who were frowning, Honam Danga was completely provoking their opponent with a smile on their face.
Next was Namgung Sohye’s turn.
Namgung So-hye, who climbed up unarmed, took a deep breath while listening to the loud noise.
The opponent was Jin Yeon-hwa of the Guangdong Jin family, who was one of the eight major families and had a strong position within the Cheondohoe.
Although he was an opponent whose skills had already been confirmed last time, he was looking at me with determination, promising not to lose this time.
‘I hope you don’t stare at me too much…’
I saw Jin Yeon-hwa biting her lip angrily.
Namgung Sohye smiled awkwardly and looked down. As both of them took the nose-up ceremony,
a loud roar was heard in the competition hall, as if it were thundering.
Wow!
A fight between none other than the Namgung family and the Gwangdong Jin family.
It would not be easy to find something worth seeing like this, so everyone’s expressions of anticipation were evident.
“I will never lose this time.”
“Ah…” Yes….”
Jin Yeon-hwa frowned.
He was angry at Namgoong Sohye’s relaxed appearance.
She prepared for the competition in her own way, endured the hellish training of the elders of her generation, and is now standing here, but Namgung So-hye did not seem to care about such things at all.
On the contrary, even now she seemed to care about others.
It must be Tang Mun-hye.
Jin Yeon-hwa felt this was so humiliating and became angry.
“hot!”
The momentum of Jin Yeon-hwa’s sword was sharp, and the light approach was simple.
It was a move that contained the essence of Guangdong Jinga’s martial arts.
She planned to change the mood by going first.
After suppressing the starting point, he tries to control the entire situation from the beginning to the end of the confrontation.
Jin Yeon-hwa quickly thrust out his sword. Pak-!
The sound of something breaking and flying away.
Soon, the violent sound of something presumed to be a person floating high in the sky and then falling followed.
No one could help but stare blankly at the sight of the body of Jin Yeon-hwa, one of the eight major families and the name of the Guangdong Jin family, falling down in an absurd manner.
thud!
The shock itself.
It seemed like everyone was of one mind.
Jin Yeon-hwa was a promising woman even within the Cheondohoe.
There was some talk that she was pushed out by Namgoong Sohye, but I believed that it would still be an excellent match since the skills of the late Jisoos would be just a page apart.
But one sword.
Namgung So-hye’s sword broke Jin Yeon-hwa’s sword in two, and Jin Yeon-hwa, who was blown away by the recoil, fell down helplessly and was unable to stand up.
“S… winner… Namgoong Sohye!” There was no shouting.
Everyone just watched blankly. Was the name Namgoong Sohye this heavy?
They look like they now know how the Namgung family led the eight major families.
Clap clap clap-!
A small applause was heard from somewhere.
Namgung So-hye glanced back toward that place and smiled without realizing it.
At the head of the table, Ju Ji-yak was clapping with a cheerful expression. Even in the audience, a sweet-looking girl cheered and clapped.
It soon spread like a wave and resonated throughout the venue.
Namgung Sohye walked slowly toward the waiting room with a small smile on her lips.
“and! “My sister was amazing!” Dan So-mi recalled what happened a little while ago with an expression of disbelief.
I saw many martial artists while watching the competition, but there was no one who stretched out a sword as splendidly as Namgung So-hye a moment ago.
Dan So-mi, who was still jumping around in love, pretended to swing a knife as if she were Namgung So-hye.
Namgung-cheon and Sadohak’s eyes sparkled at the swishing gesture.
It seems like he was moving it for fun, because the sword blade was identical to Namgung So-hye’s.
These were two old people who were reminded once again that they were indeed Dan Woo-hyeon’s daughters.
“Isn’t that the swordsmanship of the Namgung family? Is it Dan Jangju’s?”
“It seems so.”
Nangong Cheon nodded.
What Namgung So-hye performed was undoubtedly a swordsmanship.
Although there were sword techniques based on foot sword techniques in the Namgung family, none had the power to lightly but surely overpower an opponent as shown a moment ago.
Moreover, the sword not only contained strength but also somehow elegance.
‘It’s a sword of happiness…’
Namgungcheon nodded with a happy expression.
Proof that they were descendants of Samcheon.
And Namgung Sohye is growing day by day as if following in her footsteps, so how could one not feel good?
His Emperor Sword type was equally powerful and destructive, but that Hwanjo Sword was a sword technique that seemed as if it had been created just for Nangung Sohye.
Like the Emperor Sword type that Nam Gung-cheon created just for himself.
I started laughing without even realizing it.
“It’s pretty good. That girl from Gwangdong Jinga… she was a bad opponent. “If it weren’t for So-hye, she would have shown quite an interesting dance.” Namgungcheon nodded at Sadohak’s review.
Jin Yeon-hwa’s skills were not bad, but the opponent was also bad.
Namgung So-hye, who has been living with Dan Woo-hyeon, is no longer the same person she was in the past, and Namgung So-hye, who has learned and mastered the Hwanjo Sword, should already be seen as equal to Majang Gang or one level lower than him.
“I guess we can’t call it a late index anymore. “Hehehe.”
“We have already passed that area. “Everyone.”
Sadohak clicked his tongue with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
The two siblings of the Hwang Bo family, Tang Mun-hye, Je Gal-yeon, and Namgung So-hye.
Although there are differences between them, they have already gone beyond the realm of the late index.
A worthy warrior.
“The girl named Dang Mun-hye is also quite nice.”
“The Sacheondang family has excelled in martial arts since ancient times. “Isn’t it natural that she was called one of the children comparable to Sohye?”
Apostolic’s eyes were accurate.
Tang Mun-hye, who used dark techniques and used poisonous attacks, was definitely a threat.
Even her martial arts skills are at a high level, so there is no one other than Namgungso Hye-na or Majang-gang who can compete with her.
“But that’s it…”
“Keuung… That’s right.”
The two people looked at their armour, sweating coldly.
Dang Mun-hye, who was standing in a dark place, was adjusting her memory.
In front of him, a person who had not even received a ceremony was standing quietly.
There wasn’t even a slight movement, as if it wasn’t even a threat.
Those who knew nothing shouted Tang Mun-hye’s name one after another. The main axis of the Eight Great Families, a place that once held the highest rank among the Five Great Families.
Sacheondanga, the ruler of Sacheon.
The brilliant poison and dark techniques were so great that they immediately caught the attention of many people.
Moreover, since she was a woman who could be said to be the best among the late exponents of the Cheondo Conference who participated in this competition, many people bet on Tang Wen-hye and expected that she would definitely win the prize.
That is why Nam Gung-cheon of the Department of Apostolic Studies felt very sorry.
It’s not like anyone else, but it’s because I grew up as a ghost.
“I hope you don’t get frustrated….”

‘S■….
The two old men moaned softly.
