Episode 32. Maengnyongwa River (猛龍過江) 12013.12.21.
“Hehe.”
A light laugh came from the darkness. And with the sound of soft footsteps, a person appeared.
Sabak, Sabak.
The tall young man was dressed in silk clothes as white as snow. The pattern delicately embroidered with silver thread sparkles like a shimmer under the moonlight.
“You’re going to drag me out…” … .”
He spoke while slightly covering his mouth with a transparent green fan. It was a sweet voice that made you feel like you could even sense a faint scent. It’s like whispering to a lover.
“That sounds quite interesting.”
The young man’s eyes smiled softly. The transparent green coffin on his head sparkles under the moonlight.
Even Son Bin, a fellow man, was impressed by the soft facial lines visible above the fan and the stylishness of the hem of the clothes that flowed so naturally that it even gave off a feeling of elegance. Even though she is quite a beauty, it feels like her light will fade if she stands next to her.
“Who are you?”
Sa Su-yeon spoke in a low voice. The nobleman’s words and expression were gentle. As if I happened to meet an acquaintance while taking a walk under the moonlight.
But Sa Su-yeon could not relax her nerves. No, I was more nervous than before.
“well? “Who am I?”
The young man’s eyes were colored with a playful light. Sasuyeon frowns at her.
“Are you trying to make fun of me?”
“Oh no, that’s not true.”
He said with a slight smile.
“Actually, I’m waiting too. “Someone who can tell me who I am.”
The answer was still like a joke, but his eyes were sharp. From those eyes, Sa Su-yeon realized. He has no intention of giving any other answer.
“Then what business do we have?”
Sa Su-yeon asked again. Instead of answering, he slightly lowered his gaze and looked at Sa Su-yeon’s sword. Sa Su-yeon’s sword, which is letting out a soft cry, is pulsing with an eerie blue energy.
Ugh.
“That sword.”
He said.
“Try again.”
Sa Su-yeon frowned again.
“what… … .”
“Try again. “It’s the sword I showed you just now.”
Sa Su-yeon realized what he was referring to.
‘Jade Dragon Station Rincham.’
“I refuse.”
Sa Su-yeon hardened her face and answered in a stern voice.
“So, please leave now.”
“Hehe.”
He smiled.
“It’s been a while since this happened?”
Okay.
He lowered his hand holding the fan and pointed it at Sa Su-yeon. At that moment, Sonbin felt an eerie energy emanating from him. The cold energy that was so cold that it sent a chill down their backs struck Son Bin and Sa Soo-yeon literally in an instant.
Whoops.
The moment Sonbin felt that eerie energy, Sasoo-yeon also felt it. Almost instinctively, Sa Su-yeon tried to throw down her sword. But she couldn’t do anything. The moment that eerie, cold energy hit Sa Su-yeon, she couldn’t move even a single fingertip.
‘Tsk.’
It felt as if something was constricting my entire body. No, it wasn’t just a constriction. Not only were attempts to move, but even the slightest muscle movements were completely blocked. It felt like my whole body had turned into stone.
“How dare you tell me to leave? “It’s the first time I’ve heard that in a really, really long time.”
He slowly raised the hand that was behind his back. The person the hand was aimed at was Son Bin.
Huh.
“Huh.”
Swish.
Sonbin’s body was dragged helplessly as if someone was pulling him. The next moment, thin white fingers gently wrap around Sonbin’s neck.
“But let me ask you this politely again.”
Holding Son Bin’s neck in one hand, he spoke to Sa Su-yeon with cold eyes.
“Try that sword again.”
Not a word was said about Sonbin. But it was a clear threat. Sa Su-yeon’s eyes were colored with anger, but there was nothing she could do. And she knew that, too.
“Hehe.”
The young man smiled, looking at Sa Soo-yeon’s gaze, which was tinged with anger, leisurely, as if savoring it. Then he raised his fan again and slightly covered his mouth. Red lips, like those of a woman, hide behind a transparent green fan.
“Tsk.”
With a short moan, Sa Su-yeon regained her body’s freedom. Sa Su-yeon turned her eyes and looked at her Son Bin. Then, she looked down and saw her own sword. Her own sword, which had sprinkled her blue energy, had long since lost its shine.
Wow.
Sa Su-yeon bit her lip. But she no longer has any choice.
“Who are you?”
At that moment, I heard Sonbin’s voice. Sa Soo-yeon’s eyes turned to Son Bin. He, holding her fan, also saw her hand.
“You should know… … “It’s the same.”
Wiggle.
The young man’s eyebrow twitched. Sonbin said, looking straight into those eyes.
“You are the one called the Jade Dragon.”
“Hehe.”
he laughed.
“that’s right. Some people call me that. “But how did you know?”
“The silver pattern decorated on the clothes was in the shape of a dragon. And that fan and your coffin are also jade green.”
“Hmm.”
The Jade Dragon spoke with a look in his eyes that did not seem very interested.
“It’s an excessive jump and a hasty conclusion based on a weak argument. If that’s the case, it’s just by chance… … .”
“And that momentum you showed just now.”
Sonbin said, interrupting him.
“I can think of only one person who could stand up to him.”
The Jade Dragon was silent. Sonbin continued speaking slowly.
“So you have no choice but to be a Jade Dragon. “The only person in the world who can be compared to Lion Hyeok is the Jade Dragon.”
“Hehe.”
He smiled. It was darker and darker than his previous smile.
“It’s pretty good.”
The Jade Dragon looked straight into Son Bin’s eyes. Her white hand holding Sonbin’s neck turned as cold as ice.
“But I feel like I don’t know the topic a bit.”
Sreuk.
Slowly, the Jade Dragon lifted Son Bin up.
“Ugh.”
Sonbin was simply lifted, like a weightless paper doll. At the same time, his white and cold hands press on Sonbin’s neck.
“You are nothing.”
The Jade Dragon looked up at the struggling Sonbin with cold eyes and spoke in a whisper.
“You mean nothing to me. know? So you can live. As long as you remain silent and faithfully fulfill your role as a hostage. But the moment you make sense.”
He said, his voice cold and dry.
“You die.”
A cold chill ran down Sonbin’s back. It was definitely a sweet and beautiful voice, but at this moment it was eerie, like a haunting sound resounding in the dark.
“So, don’t you dare do such a presumptuous thing of judging him and me again. No, don’t even think about it. okay?”
Sonbin could not answer. No, she couldn’t answer. This was because the Jade Dragon’s hand was tightly squeezing his neck. Sonbin’s face, unable to even moan, began to turn blue.
“stop!”
Whoops.
Sa Soo-yeon’s sharp voice sounded and her sword swung towards the jade dragon.
Hiss.
Her sword, scattering blue energy, was threatening, but the Jade Dragon did not even turn its head. However, she simply lifted her jade-colored fan and pointed it at Sa Su-yeon.
Okay.
“Tsk.”
Sa Su-yeon let out a short moan. And just like that, her every movement was blocked. She literally couldn’t move even a single fingertip.
“There is something you are mistaken about.”
Jade Dragon looked back at Sa Su-yeon with a smile.
“The reason I took this child hostage is because I didn’t want to kill you. A child like you would not have followed my advice even if it meant losing his life. In fact, something like you can be done with just the tip of my finger… … .”
At that moment, Sa Su-yeon felt her heart tightening. It was an eerie feeling, as if someone was grabbing my heart.
‘Ugh’
A terrible pain struck Sa Su-yeon. Her eyes immediately began to turn fearful.
“Heh.”
The Jade Dragon laughed lightly as he looked into her eyes. At that moment, Sasu Yeon’s body regained her freedom. The terrible feeling that was gripping her heart was gone. Like a lie.
‘Tsk.’
As soon as she regained her body’s freedom, Sa Su-yeon first looked at Son Bin. Jade Dragon, aware of her gaze, lightly let go of her hand that was holding her hand.
dump.
“Gagging.”
Sonbin fell to the ground and exhaled harshly.
“haha. Cluck, cluck.”
The Jade Dragon’s thin fingers rested lightly on Sonbin’s pale head.
Palak.
The Jade Dragon lightly lifted his fan and covered his mouth. The jade-colored fan glows softly under the moonlight.
“Now then, shall we ask you again politely? “Try that sword again.”
The Jade Dragon said with a gentle smile. But that smile no longer felt soft. It doesn’t even look like a smile.
“Let’s do it.”
Sa Su-yeon spoke briefly. The Jade Dragon nodded his head slightly with a satisfied look in his eyes.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
After taking a few steps back from the jade dragon, Sa Su-yeon lowered his sword and stood. Her blue energy disappeared from her sword.
“Whoa.”
Standing in the middle of a small clearing bathed in moonlight, Sa Su-yeon slowly caught her breath. And she slowly raised her sword.
Okay.
Above her head, the blade glinted in the moonlight. Sonbin saw her Jade Dragon’s eyebrows twitch slightly for a moment as she watched her.
Sarah.
As soon as Sa Su-yeon took a step, her sword cut through the air.
Whoosh.
It was a smooth trajectory without any extraneous detail or wobble. The sword that fell through the wind rises toward the sky again.
“stop.”
ping.
At that moment, something was shot at Sa Su-yeon along with a low voice.
“laugh.”
Sa Su-yeon immediately turned around and swung his sword. Her sword sharply cut through the air, her clothes rippled in the moonlight.
Kaang!
“Tsk.”
Her sword accurately struck something that was flying, but the impact caused Sa Su-yeon to lose her balance.
Faba Park.
Sa Su-yeon rotated her body and let out that energy. Small pebbles bounced around beneath her feet.
“You’re really so bad at it. No, I don’t know anything.”
Jade Dragon frowned and snapped his fingers again at Sa Su-yeon. A sharp force was fiercely shot from his empty hand towards Sa Su-yeon.
Peeing.
Phew.
Sa Su-yeon’s sword was already starting to scatter blue energy. Her sword traced a semicircle from the ground to the sky, leaving a blue trail. And it collided exactly with the sharp intangible force flying in.
Kaang!
‘Ugh.’
The shock shook Sa Su-yeon’s insides. He definitely hit it, but the aftermath alone is enough to make my whole body tremble.
Okay.
Sa Su-yeon was pushed back one step.
“Do you really understand? “What kind of sword do you want to wield?”
Peeing.
Sa Su-yeon gritted her teeth. And he swung his sword at the invisible force bearing down on him.
Phew.
Her sword, emitting blue energy, split the air. And soon a sharp impact sound erupted.
bang!
“That is not a sword wielded with superficial skill. It is not a sword wielded with strength or endurance. Even if you understand it, the thing you cannot unfold is that sword. know?”
Peeing, peeping.
The Jade Dragon continued to exert momentum with empty fingers. Sa Su-yeon gritted her teeth and took the momentum.
Bang, bang.
She shook off the sword and was no longer pushed back. However, a thin stream of fresh blood was starting to flow from the corner of her mouth.
“There is only one person in this world who can unfold that. “That one person was taken away from me.”
Wow.
An eerie sound flowed from the Jade Dragon’s mouth. And an incredible force emanated from him.
“It’s you.”
Huh.
“Avoid!”
Sonbin shouted without realizing it. I can never accept that. You shouldn’t accept it. Sonbin could say that.
And Sa Su-yeon also had the same thoughts as Son Bin. But where will she flee? It was the exact moment when Sa Soo-yeon’s eyes were filled with despair.
“Sozer!”
Quaaa!
Sa Su-yeon saw it. Sonbin was shouting something behind the enormous force that seemed to swallow her up. But she couldn’t hear. The tremendous force even swallowed her voice.
But the moment she saw Son Bin’s eyes, Sa Su-yeon realized what she had to do.
Phew.
The sword cried. Su-yeon Sa took a step towards the tremendous force that seemed to be her death, approaching her. And the next moment, a huge shock swept through the surroundings along with an explosion of alcohol.
Quaaaang!
Kwakwagak!
The trees swayed as if in a storm, and gravel, dirt, and even the water in the stream splashed everywhere. It was difficult to see clearly due to the thick dust.
‘Tsk.’
Sonbin covered his face with his hand and tried to find Sa Su-yeon. In the midst of the confusion, laughter was heard from above Sonbin’s head.
“Hehehe.”
The Jade Dragon smiled with a relaxed expression.
“excuse. “I got emotional for a moment.”
The Jade Dragon spoke as if nothing had happened.
“Let me correct you. “That’s not you.”
The Jade Dragon lightly waved his fan.
Huh.
A different momentum than before swept through the vacant lot. As the dust blew away, the surrounding area of the vacant lot was revealed. Sa Su-yeon was standing in the middle of an empty lot that had been completely devastated.
“cow… … .”
widely.
Sonbin was about to shout when a cold hand was placed on his head. Like an eerie warning.
“It was someone who looked like you.”
“haha.”
Sa Su-yeon took a deep breath. Her clothes were torn here and there and no longer looked like they used to. Her hair was also completely disheveled. But she was still radiating her black, blue energy.
Ugh.
“haha.”
As Sa Su-yeon’s slender shoulders shake, her sword cries softly.
“It’s pretty good.”
The Jade Dragon said with cold eyes.
“indeed. Unless you’re a fierce dragon, you won’t be able to cross the rough river. It means blood isn’t the only reason he chose you. Hehehe.”
The Jade Dragon’s eyes smiled narrowly.
“very… … “It’s pretty good.”
