Episode 371
Mugeomryeon, one of the three bands and the loser of the South Sea.
Haewanggeom (海王劍) Jeon Moo-ok was a martial arts master and the best martial artist in the South Sea.
He had as many as ten disciples.
He instigated competition among his students and declared that he would hand over the position of the unskilled Soviet state to the winner.
As a result, the Namhae Murim fell into extreme chaos.
Mugeomryeon was an association of Namhae Murim.
Each of the ten disciples had formidable backgrounds.
They involved the clans that supported them or the clans from which they came from in the fight for succession.
It was not a simple succession fight, but it turned into a civil war in the Namhae Murim.
The winner becomes the unskilled Soviet state and gets everything.
The future of martial arts and the control of Namhae Murim are to be held in one hand.
The only thing left for the loser is death.
There could be no exceptions.
It was because Mu-ok Jeon, the head of martial arts, created such an atmosphere.
Yoo Soo-hwan was the only disciple who did not participate in the scramble for the successor.
Although Jeon Moo-ok was the second disciple, he had no interest in becoming the master of martial arts practice. But others didn’t think so.
It was because of Yoo Soo-hwan’s talent.
His talent for the sword was so outstanding that no other student could follow him.
Even his master, Jeon Mu-ok, was jealous of his swordsmanship.
“If Suhwan had ambition, he would have handed martial arts training to him without going through such cumbersome procedures. In terms of sword skills, Soo-hwan is better than me.”
The shock that people felt was even greater because it was the words of Jeon Mu-ok, the most unmanned man in the South Sea.
The reason why Jeon Moo-ok did not give Yu Soo-hwan the position of head of the Soviet Union was because his nature was generous and free.
He had no ambition to become a martial arts master.
It was his nature to be a tastemaker who liked to master the sword, liked alcohol, and loved the vast sea.
People gave Yu Soo-hwan a nickname of Blue Sword Investigator.
He took a step back even when Jeon Moo-ok instigated a rivalry among the brother-in-law and a bloody skirmish broke out.
Other brother-in-law tried hard to attract Yoo Soo-hwan to their side, but he stood for neutrality and did not take anyone’s side.
Later, Jeon Moo-ok’s fifth disciple, Dokgo Hwang, eventually became the victor and rose to the position of Soviet leader.
Immediately after that, Yoo Soo-hwan disappeared from Mugeomryeon and Namhae Murim.
Hosagans said that Yoo Soo-hwan left Namhae Moorim on his own because he did not want to burden Dok-go Hwang.
Many people applauded him and praised Yoo Soo-hwan for making a great decision.
After that, Yoo Soo-hwan never appeared again in Namhae and was forgotten from people’s memories.
Yu Su-hwan was skinny as if he had not eaten properly for a long time. It looked as if it had only skin covering its bones, but its eyes were strangely clear.
Pyowol asked.
“Have you been locked up for a long time?”
“It’s only been a few months since I’ve been locked up here. They were locked up for a long time before being transported.”
“Is it related to Dokgo Hwang?”
“Have you met the child?”
“Five months ago.”
“That’s when I was locked in a cramped box and moved to a yeoman. Whoa!”
Yoo Soo-hwan sighed.
There was a lot of emotion in his sigh.
“How is the child?”
“It looked good.”
“Is it so? So, is that child still with you?”
“that’s right.”
“Whoa!”
Yoo Soo-hwan closed his eyes for a moment.
Pyo-wol looked at Yoo Soo-hwan in silence.
Even without asking, I could see that his screening was very complicated.
Eventually, Yoo Soo-hwan opened his eyes.
His eyes were as clear and clean as the Myeonggyeongjisu.
he asked again.
“How is it? Huang’s eyes.”
“…”
“Did you still have strong ambitions?”
“It was huge.”
“Is it huge?”
“It was as good as Cheonmujang’s Jangmu-geuk.”
“Did you see the long martial arts?”
“He stayed with him.”
“Are you… still together?”
Yoo Soo-hwan’s voice trembled slightly.
“I heard you took over the Geumcheonhoe.”
“haha! Did that happen in the end?”
“…”
“I have a request. let me go free With your skills infiltrating this place, it won’t be that difficult to free me.”
“So what do I get in return?”
“I have nothing to give but my body.”
“I have no interest in sodomy.”
“Me too. I will be your tool. It’s like this now, but if you find some of your old skills, you’ll be able to use them.”
It was a position to ask for, but Yoo Soo-hwan did not bow down.
Pyo-wol thought of a blue pine tree in Yoo Soo-hwan’s appearance.
An old pine tree that is always green and lofty.
I don’t know what happened to him, but I didn’t think it would be bad because I erased the debt.
“Gear!”
When Pyowol called, the small snake coiled around his forearm woke up again.
Yoo Soo-hwan murmured as he watched the ghost descend on Pyo-wol’s forearm.
“You’re not a spirit creature, you’re a ghost.”
“Maybe…”
Yoo Soo-hwan stretched out his arm.
Guia bit his forearm with her tiny teeth.
Yoo Soo-hwan closed his eyes at the stinging feeling.
I could feel the poisons that had been gnawing at his body for so long being sucked away like an ebb.
As my mind, which had only been blurry, became clear, I could feel the sensations of my whole body.
It had been a long time since I felt like this.
Vitality returned to her body, which had been as heavy as wet cotton for the first time in a long time.
Even so, it was only that the feeling of exhaustion had disappeared, but Yoo Soo-hwan felt a new birth with just that.
Finally Guia inhaled all the poison and pulled out his teeth.
Yoo Soo-hwan kneaded his forearm and raised himself.
I staggered from being confined for so long, but I finally managed to balance and stand up on my own.
Suddenly, Yoo Soo-hwan’s gaze turned to the man behind the Pyo-wol.
“Who are you? Judging by his appearance, he seems to be in the same age as me.”
“you’re right. I too was stuck here. When Yu Daehyeop came in, I came in too.”
“I see.”
“My name is Hong Youxin, the chief inspector of Haomen.”
“You were a precious person.”
“Where can only this disciple of martial arts practice do it?”
“It’s just a false identity.”
“But depending on the writing, it can be a powerful cause.”
“is it?”
“Isn’t cause the most important thing for people like us?”
“Okay. No, you are right.”
Yoo Soo-hwan shook his head as if he had gained some great realization.
Hong Yoo-shin thought while looking at Yoo Soo-hwan.
‘The author was in the box carried by the Cheonhwa Miscellaneous Theater Company. I never thought I’d see him here.’
As the chief inspector of Haomen, he knew the information about Yu Suhwan well.
What a great talent he had and what a great personality he had.
If he had sincerely decided to become a Soviet state, many would have followed him.
There was only one reason why he was imprisoned here because he did not participate in the succession fight.
‘It must be Dokgo Hwang’s act. No matter how much Yu Dae-hyeop hadn’t participated in the battle for the successor, his mere existence would have been a source of trouble.’
Hong Yu-shin knew the physiology of Gangho Moorim better than anyone else, so he could guess the situation without difficulty.
To Dokgo Hwang, Yoo Soo-hwan must have been a thorn in his eyes.
Yoo Soo-hwan came out of the room.
Even though only one iron gate escaped, he had an expression of relief.
Hong Yoo-shin understood the feelings Yoo Soo-hwan was feeling right now.
It was because he was also locked up for the same amount of time as Yoo Soo-hwan.
Hong Yoo-shin said to Yoo Soo-hwan.
“Now I want to get out of here.”
“It won’t be easy to get out. Because the martial arts of the people here are all out of the ordinary.”
“It won’t be that difficult.”
“huh?”
“Because we have a ticket deal.”
Hong Yushin glanced at Pyowol.
Yoo Soo-hwan also gave Pyo-wol his gaze.
“You must be a great person.”
“He is a great person. I don’t know about Daehyeop Yu because he’s been locked up for a long time, but his nickname is Shinigami.”
“Reaper? It’s bloody.”
“If you see his inaction for yourself, you will understand why he is called that.”
“hmm! is it?”
Yoo Soo-hwan looked at Pyo-wol with his unique clear and deep eyes.
Even if Hong Yu-shin didn’t have to say anything, I could tell that he was different from other people.
‘I don’t feel the darkness and heterogeneity.’
It was the first time he had seen the pitch-black darkness and the appearance that seemed to be part of it.
Pyowol said.
“Now go out.”
He took a step outside.
Hong Yoo-shin and Yoo Soo-hwan quietly followed him.
When I opened the huge iron gate that divided the area and went out, another Donghyeol appeared.
Click!
The moment I set foot in a new area, the soles of my feet felt damp.
An unidentified liquid has pooled on the floor.
It wasn’t there when I came in.
Hong Yoo-shin smelled the scent of blood in the liquid.
“blood?”
He quickly raised his eyes and looked around.
I saw a figure leaning against the wall.
“corpse?”
In-young was holding her head down, breathless. Blood dripped from his neck and pooled on the floor.
It was clear that his breath had been cut off with a single blow.
Hong Yu-shin muttered as he looked at the wounds on the corpse.
“That’s him!”
“He?”
“there is. The beast released by Pyo Dae-hyeop…”
Even in pitch-black darkness, he accurately cut off the opponent’s breath.
Even with a single sword.
Only those skilled in the art of killing were able to perform this skill in the dark.
It was an act of sogyeoksan.
It was Sogyeoksan, which had been imprisoned for a long time and was weakened as soon as it was weakened by taking magic ghost poison. Even so, he showed such terrible skills.
I couldn’t even imagine how horrible it would be when he got his skills back.
The three of them moved forward again.
The body was seen again.
He died in the same form as the one who died first.
It was also the work of Sogyeoksan.
More and more corpses appeared.
Now, I couldn’t kill him with a single blow, as if I was too strong for the small fire.
Some bodies had up to three or four scars.
It was proof that he was struggling so much.
Cacan!
I heard the clashing of weapons in front of me.
I tried to increase my eyesight, but with Hong Yushin’s eyesight, I couldn’t see any more. It was the same with Yoo Soo-hwan.
However, judging by the sound of the clashing weapons, it was clear that the situation was going very urgently.
The two were only guessing, but Pyowol’s eyes clearly saw what was happening in front.
‘Gyeoksan!’
I could see Sogyeoksan moving like a bat hanging from the ceiling stalactites.
Lee Ho-gwan was attacking and chasing Sogyeoksan.
Sogyeoksan used stalactites as cover to protect itself and counterattack.
It wasn’t that he killed all of Lee Ho-gwan’s men without any damage. As many wounds as the number of kills were engraved on his body.
Moreover, he had been imprisoned for a long time and was in a state of weakness as he was about to become weak. It was he who was at a disadvantage when the fight was prolonged.
Sogyeoksan knew that too.
So I took an adventure.
He kicked off the stalactite and threw himself at Lee Ho-gwan.
He was trying to give Lee Ho-gwan a blow with all his might.
However, Lee Ho-gwan was also not an easy opponent.
“No way.”
Wedge liquid!
Lee Ho-gwan made the cut.
The spear exploded like a firecracker from his spear and attacked the small mountain.
Fufufufu!
The spear was pierced through Sogyeoksan’s shoulder and leg.
A normal person would scream and fall out, but Sogyeoksan was different.
He ignored the pain and instead sped up.
Lee Ho-gwan’s astonished expression got closer. I didn’t expect that Sogyeoksan would rush at it with such recklessness.
Fu-wook!
Sogyeoksan’s sword pierced Lee Ho-gwan’s neck.
“Kha!”
Only then did Sogyeoksan let out the breath he had been holding back.
Blood mixed with his breath.
