< The Return of the God of War, Episode 41 >
In this martial arts world, there are people who do not know about the legendary God of War. However, no matter who you are, regardless of age or gender, there are some things you cannot help but know, no matter who you ask.
Even if it is martial arts or not.
Four Directions God Beast (Four Directions God Beast)
This is a name that many people in the Middle East will inevitably hear as they are born and grow up, and will also be mentioned several times in their lives.
It is a story that has been handed down even longer than the martial god, which is considered the most sacred by everyone and is said to be a legend of martial arts.
Even the symbol of Cheonjigyo symbolizes the white tiger, the god of the four directions, so people’s fear and reverence for them is indescribable.
“Do… this is ridiculous…!”
Chu Zuohan, who was sitting down, trembled and looked at what was in front of him. It’s so huge that words can’t explain everything, and just looking at its sharp, jewel-encrusted eyes made me feel like my whole body would be torn apart.
So I realized it the moment I saw it.
That’s real.
Baekho is a divine beast with no lies whatsoever.
The real thing, completely different from the fakes raised by the priestess of Cheonjigyo, appeared before my eyes.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Cold sweat ran down my entire body out of fear.
And moment.
I felt a chill behind my back.
Without realizing it, I rolled around on the ground and left the place.
wickedness-!
Soon, something small passed quickly next to it. Isn’t this a speed you can’t even see if you don’t look closely?
Is that… Sakwolmyo?
Even one divine beast is not enough, even the Sakwolmyo?
Even Sakwolmyo, who was known to never follow people, naturally jumped on the white tiger’s back and stood on the shoulder of the woman who hit the white tiger’s head.
This is ridiculous.
This can never happen.
“Ah, man over there? Why don’t we just go now? “Because this guy’s temperament is not normal.”
At that time, Ju Ji-yak smiled brightly.
There are white tigers and there are white cats.
He must have been running around somewhere and realized that Dansomi was in danger and ran faster than a bullet. According to Namgung-cheon and Sadohak, the number of people who can stand upright against these two guys is counted on five fingers, so it will probably be okay.
Thinking about that, Ju Ji-yaek smiled even brighter.
Sasasasasak-!
At that time, people dressed in black appeared around Chu Jakhan. Is the number around twenty? They all surrounded Chu Zuokhan with wary expressions.
It seemed as if they were trying to protect him.
“Do you want to do more?”
Crumbling!
Ju Ji Ruo was not surprised or scared when he saw this. Instead, he looked even more triumphant and quietly placed his hand on Baekho’s back.
For a moment, her hands were shaking, but in fact, unless they were Dansomi, they did not follow people very well, and due to their nature as tigers, she had no choice but to be scared.
‘I… I can’t get used to it…’
But Ju Ji-yaek swallowed his tears and hid his fear.
“My lord! First of all, the best thing to do is to leave the place…”
“Huh…!”
Only then did Chu Zuohan stand up and grit his teeth. The charm technique I was most confident in didn’t work and didn’t even achieve the desired goal.
For Chu Zuohan, who had never failed in any mission before, stepping down like this was like having his pride crushed.
However, Chu Jak-han calmed down his boiling anger and controlled his breathing. Only then did my trembling heart regain its stability and the rising fever cool down, allowing me to judge the situation more calmly.
“That’s interesting. “It was just a journey for fun, but thanks to you, I learned something very important.”
“yes?”
Chu Zuohan looked at Dan Xiaomi, who raised her eyes in surprise, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. I was just trying to catch the guy who was selling the Demon Saint’s nickname, but I ended up seeing a woman with Baekho and Sakwolmyo in a place like this?
I feel like I want to do something right away, but it’s not easy.
This is because I felt that Baekho’s abilities were already far beyond his.
For now, I will step away from this position.
The same goes for revenge on that damn bastard.
Even if you postpone it for a while, it won’t work out.
Isn’t there something more urgent than that now?
“Just leave today. But… we’ll see you again soon.”
Chu Jakhan leapt backwards.
At that moment, his subordinates became wary of the white tiger and began to retreat. As the men in the room quickly kicked the ground and retreated, the tense tension seemed to have disappeared.
“Ha-I really thought I was going to die.”
Eventually, everyone disappeared, and Ju Ji-yak seemed to lose strength in his legs and fell down on the floor. She didn’t look at all dispirited in front of Chu Jak-han, but she was more surprised than anyone else and more scared than anyone else.
Dan So-mi, who had quietly approached Joo Ji-yak as if she was aware of his condition, asked.
“are you okay? “You were very surprised, right?”
“Aren’t you… scared? There was no reaction…”
“Ahaha… I was a little scared, but actually… I’m scarier when Grandpa Sa gets angry.”
Ju Ji-yak shook his head and stood up with difficulty. After listening to Dansomi, I felt like I knew something.
Among the five emperors in the world, who is said to be one of the few people in the world who is not scared of being angry?
It’s like the emperor’s scolding is scarier than the father’s scolding.
As I shook my head with that thought in mind, Dansomi’s face with a somewhat troubled expression caught my eye.
“But… what about this person?”
When I glanced at the direction she pointed to, I saw two men lying face down on the floor.
One was hit on the head with a stone and flipped over, sprawling out like a dead frog. Judging by the twitching of his body, it appears that he managed to survive without dying.
The other one is…
“Ugh…!”
Just looking at it made me cover my mouth in disgust.
It’s even more surprising that he didn’t die despite having his head buried in the foul-smelling vomit. If this is heavenly luck, is it heavenly luck?
“Do you think… I can just leave it alone?”
“Still, you came to save us…”
Zhu Ji Ruo shook his head.
I could see Dan Somi’s puzzled expression. I felt bad about leaving it behind, but it seemed like I didn’t really want to save it.
Perhaps there is some kind of ill-will between the two.
“Just leave it alone. “I think if I saved her, she would rush to marry me.”
“Ugh…! “I don’t like that.”
Dan So-mi shook her head with a straight face.
It’s an expression that seems to be asking him to please bear with it.
Considering Dan So-mi, who rarely shows bad feelings toward others, this man seemed to have become something more than disgusting to Dan So-mi.
It’s not easy to do this…
Ju Ji Ruo let out a small sigh.

Chu Jakhan, who was rapidly advancing, still could not tell whether what he had seen was a dream or reality. To see the being that I thought was just a vague legend right before my eyes?
It is completely different from the fake ones that the priestess of Cheonjigyo carries around.
The spirit and power you feel the moment you look at it.
It was so perfect that I literally felt like I was receiving divine help.
That’s why Chu Zuohan couldn’t control his excitement.
‘We must inform the religious leader as soon as possible.’
The white tiger symbolizes Cheonjigyo.
The reason why the priestess of Cheonjigyo carries around a fake white tiger, which is not funny, is to show the believers that she deals with one of the Four Directions Divine Beasts.
That idea was exactly right, and countless cultists blindly follow the priestess and cult leader chosen by the divine beast.
But what if this white tiger is a real white tiger?
What if that white tiger could show its power in front of so many people?
We will be able to secure more believers than we have now, and we will have the influence and power to challenge the Jeongdo Murim head-on, rather than as a group operating in secret in this central martial arts group.
When I think about that, I can’t stop laughing.
So much so that you instantly forget the face of the person who made your face like this.
“There is someone ahead.”
“huh?”
Chu Jak-han, who was moving forward with that thought in mind, looked straight ahead at the sudden words of his subordinate. Sure enough, just as the subordinate said, someone was seen slowly approaching this direction.
It is a place where the bushes are thick and not even people visit.
Because he had not expected that there would be someone else, his expression was somewhat surprised.
The subordinate next to him quietly grabbed the sword.
In this situation, if a person appeared in front of them, it was their job to cut them down.
But Chu Jakhan smiled and opened his mouth.
“I feel really good right now. “Don’t spill blood for no reason.”
“All right.”
Hearing Chu Zuohan’s words, Suha lowered his head.
At the same time, I moved forward while being wary of the figure in front, but soon the distance narrowed and the figure became more and more clear.
Suha’s eyes shook greatly.
That face must be the man in that carriage.
Without realizing it, I was wary and glanced at Chu Jakhan.
However, not knowing anything, he still smiled and quickly passed by the person.
“I used up all my luck.”
Soon, the person’s mouth opened and a voice penetrated like a whisper. He moved without stopping, wondering who he was talking to or if he had any intention of hearing an answer, and before he knew it, In-yeong and Chuchak-han and the others were quickly moving away from each other.
“joy! What a strange guy. If it weren’t for this situation, I would have cut off his head…”
Chu Jakhan frowned, perhaps because he didn’t like the look in the eyes of the person he was passing by. But there is no turning back, and I have no desire to go back and swing the sword.
Right now, all I could think about was going back to the branch as quickly as possible and informing the religious leader of this good news.
* * *
Dan Woo-hyeon was watching Dan So-mi and Ju Ji-yaek return from a somewhat distant distance. The short time they spent together must have been really good, and they look like they have let go of all the difficulties they have had.
His expression was noticeably better than yesterday.
Just looking at the scene leisurely, Dan Woo-hyeon’s heart also seemed to melt like snow.
“I’m glad nothing major happened.”
Eventually, he burst into laughter.
It was my luck to save Baekho and Baekkyo when I was young. Of course, that could also be said to be that child’s strength, but thanks to that, nothing major happened.
No matter how dirty the white tiger is, it has a tendency not to see blood in front of Dansomi.
Otherwise, the entire area would have been a corpse field right now.
“You held back so hard… I thought you were going to cut me right away.”
At that time, Namgung-cheon secretly appeared and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a somewhat unexpected expression. Normally, if it were him, he would have taken his breath away the moment he saw it in front of him.
Wasn’t this followed to prevent something like that?
But you spared a single person without killing them?
It’s completely unexpected.
“I just didn’t want to spill blood on that child’s path back.”
“Hehe, then they were lucky.”
“That’s right….”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.
Throughout all of history, there is only one person who has defied the will of the god of war and survived. At first, I tried to kill it, but I couldn’t because of the sweet taste, and the barking that I saw after that is because I’m used to it now and it doesn’t bother me that much.
Otherwise, Jang Sam-tae would not have existed in this world.
And this is the second time.
It was right in front of me, but I didn’t kill it.
The first reason is that Dansomi does not want to get blood on the path she has to return to, and that first reason is the second.
Dan So-mi didn’t want to get blood on the way back, so he saved them, so today they survived by using all the luck they had to share in their lives.
That’s why it doesn’t happen twice.
“We will meet again. And at a fairly close time….”
