A Tale Of A Scribe Who Retires To The Countryside Chapter 37

Episode 37. Collapse2014.01.07.

As the wind blew, snow powder flew.

On a pure white snow field under a deep blue sky, a nobleman stood leisurely like a painting.

He looked so relaxed that it made you forget that this was a high mountain where even breathing was difficult, but he was none other than the so-called Jade Dragon.

“It’s a beautiful place, isn’t it?”

The Jade Dragon spoke in a soft voice.

He turned his head and looked at the snow-covered peaks. The sharp peaks were all shining white in the blue sky.

“Right.”

Sajahyeok answered in a calm voice.

“It’s a beautiful place. and… … .”

He slowly looked around.

“It’s a lonely place.”

Sonbin sympathized with Sajahyuk’s expression.

The snowy field spread out quietly and alone here, so high that it was difficult to even breathe, and the silver peak overlooking it had a majesty that denied access not only to people but also to all living things.

“When I first came here.”

Jade Dragon said.

His eyes were still focused on the white mountain peak. The sharp peak was like a fang that seemed ready to shatter the blue sky at any moment.

“I was completely overwhelmed by the majesty and beauty of this mountain. Things that seemed so great down there were really nothing when you stood here and looked down. So much so that it’s even funny. But what was better than anything else was the fact that there was no one here.”

Jade Dragon, who was looking at the mountain peak with eyes lost in thought, turned his head and looked at Lion Hyuk.

“My dear friend, Emperor of Xuantian.”

His eyes shone.

“Welcome to this mountain. “You have no idea how happy it is for me to be standing here with you today.”

“I abandoned that name.”

Lion Hyuk looked at the Jade Dragon and said.

“I am Lion Hyeok.”

“Hehe.”

The Jade Dragon laughed.

“If we call Taishan something else, will Taishan disappear?”

Sabak.

The Jade Dragon walked lightly as if taking a walk.

“He who stands alone under the sky. A true warrior who is noble and violent, and whom no one can disobey. The fierce tigers of Sichuan cannot even be compared to you, and the noble cranes that are said to be noble cannot even be compared to you. Even in the world of martial arts, the world of those who belong to the heavenly world, you were the only one who could truly be called heaven.”

Sabak.

The Jade Dragon stopped walking.

“And still, you are the Emperor of Xuantian.”

Sajahyuk was silent for a moment. And then he opened his mouth again.

“why.”

Sajahyeok asked in a heavy voice.

“Is that what you did?”

“That kind of thing?”

The Jade Dragon tilted its head.

“Are you saying you agitated the two of them and made them secretly attack you? Or, did you take that woman hostage and make you addicted to Tianxiangru? Oh, come to think of it.”

The Jade Dragon said with a faint sneer.

“He died in the end, right? The woman who was a hostage. She was stabbed by Meng Hao’s hoa. That was really stupid. “She wouldn’t have been able to protect you if she threw herself at you.”

The Jade Dragon’s smile deepened. he said

“By the way, did you find her body?”

“That is… … .”

Whoa whoa.

The wind began to rise around Sajahyeok.

It was different from Sajahyuk’s momentum that had been felt until now. A gloomy yet intense energy that I had never seen before swirled around Lion Hyeok.

“Is that what you were saying? “What do I want most?”

“no way.”

The Jade Dragon frowned.

“That can’t be possible. You probably know this, right? I don’t touch anything I don’t like. Moreover, there’s no way I could lay a finger on a woman like that. Because it could not even maintain its shape due to the poisonous effects of Hoa, it was burned without a trace. Now, no matter how much I miss her and miss her… … .”

He said with a faint smile.

“You don’t even have a place to go anymore.”

Sonbin saw Sa Su-yeon’s body tremble. The woman Okryong was talking about was probably Sa Su-yeon’s mother.

Sonbin also bit his lip.

“Oh, come to think of it.”

The Jade Dragon said as if something suddenly occurred to him.

“There is one left here too. “The traces of that woman that I don’t want to see.”

The cold Jade Dragon’s gaze turned towards Sa Su-yeon. The Jade Dragon, covering its mouth with a jade-colored fan, spoke in a very low voice as if whispering.

“Take it away, Geomhee.”

Hiss.

A silver blade appeared in the air. Without any sign, as if it had been there from the beginning.

When Sonbin raised his head, feeling an eerie feeling as if it was piercing the top of his head, the blade was already falling towards Sasuyeon.

Whoops.

Sonbin saw Sa Su-yeon’s sword reveal itself and begin to radiate force.

It was a truly instantaneous reaction, but to Sonbin, it seemed slow, as if the world had stopped.

And it was clear to Son Bin that her sword would not be able to stop the falling blade.

‘no!’

I wanted to shout, but even my own movements were too slow. It felt as if her entire body was tied to something.

The moment the sharp, shining silver blade reached directly above Sa Su-yeon, a loud explosion erupted.

Quang! Whilick.

The figure of a woman dressed in white fluttered and soared above the blue sky. At the end of her sleeve, a shining silver sword draws a large circle.

It was the woman who identified herself as Geomhee. And the one who blocked her sword was none other than Lion Hyuk’s great sword, Powell.

Phew.

Powell, who burst into strong momentum, was exuding sharp energy as if he was protecting Sa Su-yeon. Sajahyeok then raised his bow towards Geomhee in the air.

Ugh.

It was at that moment that Geomhee’s sword, which was still floating in the air, began to radiate momentum.

An energy as white and cold as snow spread like frost on her sword and soon began to form the shape of a large sword.

It was as if everything around her had frozen along with her sword, as the huge silver sword fell straight towards Lionskin’s Powell.

Quang! Coooooo!

The ground beneath my feet vibrated as I drank heavily.

Damn it.

An eerie sound spread down the snowy field. Then, part of the surrounding snowfield began to collapse as if it were a lie.

Rumbling.

‘omg.’

Sonbin held his breath in surprise. The surrounding part of the snow field was slowly sliding down and collapsing.

A large pile of snow falls down a distant cliff, and huge blue ice of unknown thickness is revealed.

‘Uh, ice? ‘This place?’

This snowy field that the group was standing on was neither land nor rock. It is covered with snow on top of huge ice that was formed over an unimaginable period of time.

Although the area that has collapsed now is around the relatively weak snow field, there is no guarantee that this area will not collapse if we continue in this manner.

Moreover, this is a high altitude where it is difficult to even breathe, and the cliffs below the snowy fields are far away. The idea of ​​your feet collapsing is something you don’t want to even imagine.

Quang!

Another burst of drinking broke out. Sonbin turned his head.

Facing the huge silver sword, the lion-skinned sword, Powell, was emitting a stream of blue energy.

Kiiiiing!

The huge silver sword and the black lion-skinned sword were making contact, and a sharp cry was coming out. Geomhee’s silver sword looked abnormally large, to the point where even Powell looked small.

It was not that the sword had actually grown larger, but that the force exuded by Geomhee had become tangible.

“It’s a unique sword.”

Sajahyeok said.

Geomhee’s deep and calm eyes are pointed straight at Sajahyeok. The two people’s swords were still emitting sharp cries.

“But this might not be your best?”

“that’s right.”

Geomhee answered.

Jjaeng!

Powell and the silver sword fell with a sound like something breaking.

While Sajahyeok takes a step back, Geomhee spins quickly as if dancing and takes a step back.

Huh.

The hem of her white clothes swept across the snowy field, creating a small snowstorm.

When she stopped again, the image of the huge silver blade had already disappeared. All that remains is her sword.

Sarah.

Her sword was quietly aimed at Lion Hyeok. It was a calm and natural movement that did not feel any force, but Sonbin felt a chill running down his back as he watched the scene.

As if that feeling wasn’t false, her sword soon began to turn white. There was no huge blade or radiating force, but it was very clear that it was the season of sword fighting.

Ugh.

Lion’s Hyuk’s Powell cried softly. It seemed as if he was happy to face Geomhee’s sword.

“this.”

Just then, the Jade Dragon’s voice broke the tension between the two.

“Isn’t it a bit difficult to do this?”

The Jade Dragon said in a voice filled with laughter. Sajahyeok looked back at the jade dragon.

“Is your opponent me?”

Sarah.

The Jade Dragon raised one hand. The Jade Dragon’s sleeves shook, revealing his white hands.

Although there was nothing in that hand, Sajahyeok knew better than anyone how threatening it was.

“But now…” … .”

Okay.

The Jade Dragon’s hand moved gliding. Sa Sa-hyuk’s gaze reflexively falls on Sa Soo-yeon.

However, the person to whom the Jade Dragon’s hand was directed was none other than Son Bin.

“Shall we take out the trash first?”

ping.

Along with the low sound of cutting through the wind, an eerie energy of death was shot towards Sonbin.

And Sonbin clearly heard. The Jade Dragon glared at him and said this.

[It finally makes sense, trash.]

‘meaning?’

At that moment, the cold and dry voice of the jade dragon appeared in Sonbin’s ears.

-But the moment you have meaning, you die.

‘ah.’

It cannot be avoided or prevented. As he saw the energy of death flying towards him, numerous thoughts crossed Sonbin’s mind.

At the end of that thought, Sonbin was able to clearly understand one thing.

‘In the end, I die.’

Quang!

At the same time as the jade dragon’s finger moved, the sword’s white blade exploded and struck Sajehyeok.

As if it existed only for this moment, the sword containing everything she had was shooting towards Sajahyeok. And Sonbin stood beyond her sword.

But Sajahyeok just frowned.

Ugh.

Without wavering even an inch, Powell, shedding a low cry, prepared to meet Geomhee’s sword.

What met the eerie death energy emitted by the Jade Dragon was another sword spewing blue energy.

Shhh!

“It doesn’t work like that!”

Sa Su-yeon’s sword moved through the air. The hem of her clothes fluttered across the white snow field.

In that way, the Jade Dragon’s attack on Sonbin seemed to have failed. If only Sonbin hadn’t shouted.

“no!”

Sonbin shouted while looking at Sasuyeon.

“Avoid! Sozer! What he’s after… … .”

Sa Su-yeon looked at Son Bin with puzzled eyes.

In that split-second moment, Son Bin’s appearance came into Sa Soo-yeon’s field of vision. He was trying to stretch out his hands, as if trying to push himself away.

‘huh?’

I see myself reflected in his eyes as he shouts at me with a desperate expression.

His eyes are full of confidence, as if only Sa Su-yeon exists in the world. And behind him, reflected in his eyes, a white blade was falling.

Deep.

With an eerie sound, a white sword pierced Sa Su-yeon’s chest.

‘ah!’

Sa Su-yeon’s eyes were colored with astonishment. In front of her, her son Bin was desperately stretching out his hand toward her and shouting something, but no sound was heard anymore.

And in the very next moment, the deathly force emitted by the jade dragon pierced Sonbin’s heart.

Pow!

The two people’s new form slowly began to fall apart.

“Kaaaa!”

Sajahyeok’s cry, distorted by anger, rang out in the snowy field. At the same time, Powell, who was following right behind him, falls down on Geomhee with tremendous force.

Geomhee let go of the sword stuck in Sasuyeon and immediately stepped back. This is because he already knew that Powell was following in his footsteps.

But that wasn’t enough to avoid Powell.

Kwaaaaang!

A huge explosion followed by a storm-like shock wave swept through the surroundings. A huge pile of snow erupted like a volcano, and the entire snow field began to tremble.

Kurrrrrr.

The snow field, which was vibrating as if groaning, began to collapse starting from the weakest part, as if it could not withstand the impact.

Cooung, coo googung.

The sound of heaven and earth collapsing continued. You can’t see anything clearly in all directions due to the snowstorm that is blowing up like an explosion.

How much time has passed? With a heavy sound, the snow powder slowly began to settle.

The sound of huge blocks of collapsed ice could be heard like a lingering sound from below, but the snow field seemed to have stopped collapsing.

Phew.

The wind blew. The snow powder that had not yet settled was fluttering around, and the entire area was filled with sparkling light.

It was a beautiful scene, like a fantasy, but there was only one person who could see it.

grasp.

A fan shining softly in a transparent jade color blew away the things that were blocking the view.

“Hehehe.”

The Jade Dragon laughed.

Everything was sparkling with snow powder, and even the snow field was no longer what it used to be, but he was the only one standing there as if nothing had happened.

“at las.”

Jade Dragon said. There was excitement in his voice that couldn’t be hidden.

Sabak.

The Jade Dragon began to walk slowly.

But soon, there was no more leisure in his steps. He even forgot to cover his face with his fan.

Sabagsabag.

He stopped. He said with eyes mixed with greed and joy.

“I finally got my hands on you. Right in my hand!”

Sajahyeok was standing in front of him with shining eyes.

It was as if he was frozen and unable to move even a single finger, but his eyes were burning as if they could pierce the jade dragon.

“Didn’t I tell you that your opponent is me?”

“Falak,” said the Jade Dragon, covering his face with his fan.

“You shouldn’t show a gap as easily as your daughter’s death. No matter how it looks… … .”

The Jade Dragon laughed.

“Even if it looks exactly like the last time she looked.”
