Episode 234
Conflict (4)
The reason why the black sheep came to visit Intelligence Director Jeong was to understand the personality of the other person through his reaction.
Jeong, successor to the new intelligence chief Mu Jong-moon, was a dangerous person.
They raided the commercial team of Gwiju Merchant Marine and stole the goods being transported to the Murim League?
It was a great feat, but if you think about it a little differently, it was something that anyone could have done if they had the guts to be ignorant.
‘Killing the commercial crew and making a contribution is not, so to speak, proving one’s ability, but merely establishing a cause.’
Intelligence Director Jeong’s real ability was not such distribution or driving force.
‘This guy captured the difficult Yang Cheon at once.’
I don’t know how it was captured. What is important is that he caught Yang Chen’s interest in just one meeting and gained his trust in the second meeting.
He, who had brought so much wealth, women, and various other treasures, was still suspicious of Yang Cheon.
In a way, it was natural. This is because Yang Cheon does not see himself as a black sheep, but as a warrior from the Saeum Church.
‘What’s different about you?’
But if we put it that way, there is absolutely no reason to believe Jeong either.
Rather, he added that it was suspicious. The Mujongmun, which was extinct in the past, was a sect full of mystery and there was no way to prove its origins in the first place.
However, rather than being suspicious of this guy, Yang Cheon was favoring him. He clearly did something he couldn’t do.
‘This guy is dangerous. No matter what purpose you came here for, you need to be fully aware of it.’
Yes. It came with that intention.
If this guy’s personality and abilities are so dangerous, we have to gather all the information about him and send it to the church.
‘But you admit it?’
From the beginning, he didn’t think the b*stard would readily admit it.
That was natural. This is because acknowledging this incident is no different from rebelling against the Mukryongbu.
“That’s an interesting expression.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s laughter was like a cool breeze in the midwinter wilderness, where not a single branch of wild grass grew.
“why? “Did you think it wasn’t me?”
“….”
“Oh no, I’m going to do that. “Does it make sense for someone as tall as the Chinese zodiac to come to rob the head of the intelligence department without any evidence?”
“….”
“hmm? What’s wrong with your expression? Smile. “I answered your curiosity myself, so why are you so stiff?”
The black sheep, who was glaring at Yeon Ho-jeong with a stern face, finally opened his mouth.
“Are you really saying that you killed the Black Sheep and the Black Chief?”
“If you are talking about those idiots who specialize in trampling their opponents with vicious wheel-to-wheel combat, which is far from being a commotion, then that is correct. “I swept it away.”
“…!”
“If you go like that. If possible, why not change it a bit? “It seems like it was made to scare people, but now that I think about it, it’s so crude.”
Tsutsutsu.
Death arose from the black sheep’s body.
“You…”
“Why?”
“…?”
“So you found out everything you wanted to know, right? “What more do you want?”
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Of course I’m sane. Do you think an insane madman can gain the trust of King Yang Chen?”
The black sheep’s eyes sparkled.
‘Tuwang Yangcheon?’
Neither Vice Lord Yang nor Vice Lord.
This is Tuwang Yangcheon. The head of the intelligence department who had sworn loyalty to Yang Cheon, the new wind of the Mukryongbu, who was fully trusted by Yang Cheon, was saying that he was the king of battle, Yang Cheon, as if it were only natural.
The black sheep was greatly embarrassed by that surprising statement.
“Unless you came to check on that matter.”
Grumble!
A sparkle flickered in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
The life of the flame that had been suppressed boiled over. Just looking at his red-hot eyes, as if they were made of ruby, sent a feeling of heat that made my whole body feel like it was on fire.
“Did you come here with the intention of confessing that you are still the leader of the Saeum Church?”
“…!!”
I was already in a state of panic.
The expression on his face that had turned blue might have been the first he showed to others.
A look that a normal black sheep would never show.
So the expression revealed the truth more clearly.
“You looked down on Yang Cheon funny, but you looked down on him for a long time. “If you were planning on deceiving him, you should have sent someone better than you. Did you send someone as strong and hard-headed as you to watch over Yang Chen?”
“…!”
“So you’re still being swayed by Yang Chen. No, you wouldn’t have known that your head was being swayed.”
The black sheep’s face was noticeably distorted.
He, who is usually evaluated as cold-hearted, was especially incapable of dancing in front of Yeonhojeong.
“What is your identity?”
“Descendants of the Martial Order.”
“How do you know the name of Saeum?”
“Because Yang Chen told me.”
“…!”
“Of course I knew it before he told me.”
“what?”
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
bang!
The table flew into the black sheep’s face.
Slams the table from less than half a distance away. For the black sheep who had been perplexed the whole time, it was a surprising surprise attack.
But the black sheep was also not an ordinary expert. He was a transcendental expert who had broken through the barrier of martial arts. Even if it was a surprise attack, there was no way he could have taken it lightly.
Kwasik!
He raised his elbow as if cutting with a sword and split the center of the table. It was a desperate season for Saeumgyo.
It was then.
Phew!
‘…!!’
There was a look of urgency on the black sheep’s face.
A large hand came through the cracked table and aimed for his side as if it had been waiting.
It was a very timely move. It was as if he had already guessed that he was going to hit the table with his elbow.
‘Sigh!’
Buuuuuck!
With all his might, he twisted his body to avoid the blow flying towards his side. His waist was torn long by Yeon Ho-jeong’s hand.
‘This guy is crazy…’
At that moment, the black sheep’s body suddenly stopped.
“Oops!”
The clothes, hard as iron plates, put strong pressure on his abdomen. The white tiger energy of the West, the incarnation of gold energy, tore off the entire upper body of the black sheep and hardened it to the strength of steel.
It was an unexpected method. Hardening someone’s clothing to control their movements? It was an incredible technique that is not easily found in Sae-Oe or even in the Jungwon martial arts world.
‘profit!’
Trying to quickly retreat ended up suffocating him. The embarrassed black sheep quickly slapped his capital down on his clothes. They plan to cut off Yeonhojeong’s true spirit along with the torn collar.
It was then.
Flap!
Clothes fluttered around the capital. Before we knew it, Yeonhojeong, who had won the white flag, was one step closer to facing the black sheep.
‘Read!’
The black sheep couldn’t believe it.
‘What on earth has become of this guy?!’
Not only did he immediately identify the loopholes in the elbow attack of invulnerability, he also read the rhythm of the hand-to-hand attack.
This cannot happen. Bujeongbak was a martial art outside of the Sae, a martial art that Jungwon people could never know.
Pow!
“Tsk!”
Black Sheep’s right knee touched the ground. Yeon Ho-jeong’s angle cut the outside of his thigh.
Faaagh!
Black Sheep’s right hand, Kwon Bae, aimed at Yeon Ho-jeong’s temple. It was a deadly attack that could have cost him his life if he allowed it to be a quick and rapid blow.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong’s arm curved like a snake and wrapped around his waist and elbow.
Crump!
“Big!”
It was a move aimed at a reverse joint. Cartilage was torn and joints were broken.
‘this!’
My entire right upper body seemed to be paralyzed from the terrible pain.
Even if I get treatment, I will never be able to use my right arm again. The black sheep’s eyes were bloodshot.
Bye!
“Oops!”
The victory was taken away by surprise. The upper body of the black sheep collapsed due to the raised knee attack, and Yeon Ho-jeong’s two fists swung like a hammer on the clearly exposed back plate.
Quack!
I couldn’t bear it anymore. The black sheep screamed without realizing it.
No, I thought it was over.
‘…?!’
Even while struggling in excruciating pain, Black Sheep felt a chill run down her spine from her opponent’s meticulousness. As soon as he smashed the bone with both fists, he stopped the scream from escaping by pointing at the bleeding point.
‘Damn the rain!’
Urgency appeared on the black sheep’s face.
My clavicle and ribs were broken at the same time. Although my spine was not broken, the injury was such that it would be difficult to stand upright for a while.
But his worries were meaningless.
Yeon Ho-jeong kicked him in the stomach with an indifferent expression.
Whoa!
The black sheep spit out blood.
Pussssss.
The true energy that was filled with every muscle was vaporized at an alarming speed.
It’s a power outage destruction. It was a terrifying technique that split apart not only the defense shield around the Danjeon but also the Danjeon itself with a merciless blow.
The match is over.
“Isn’t it fun?”
Tsutsutsutsu.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s murderous spirit penetrated every part of the black sheep’s body.
Even during this time, he was somehow able to control his life. If the Suzakugi had exploded, his deadly force would have penetrated the thick stone wall and spread throughout the Mukryongbu.
“I’ve seen your bare-handed martial arts skills countless times. Among them, it’s called Bu-Desperate… Su-gyeol-cham-do following Cham-jang Jugyeok? “Isn’t it such a monotonous combination?”
“…?!”
I don’t know how much analysis was done on the martial arts used by the Saeumgyo, especially among the three Gwangsingyo religions.
And in the contemporary martial arts world, there is probably no one who knows the seasons of Saeumgyo better than Yeonhojeong.
Even including the black sheep.
“I was already thinking about it. I needed just one more person to be my sacrifice, and I didn’t know it would be you. “I was thinking about the painter, that bad-tempered b*tch.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled brightly.
“thanks. For stimulating me. I’m happier because it’s you. “It’s too easy to make up a justification.”
He kicked the black sheep in the chin.
Bye!
The eyes of the black sheep with its broken jaw rolled back. He just passed out.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes distorted.
“…I’m ending it like this because the lives of my group are in my hands. “Consider yourself lucky, you son of a b*tch.”
Yeon Ho-jeong was no longer a master.
The Emperor of Darkness abandoned his dignity and began to step into the mud. He had put aside the discipline he had learned for a while and was gradually returning to his past self, which was meticulous and radical.
Half a day later.
As Yeonhojeong crossed the underground plaza, he heard the voices of many people.
“hmm? Hwawon?”
“well? “I didn’t see it?”
“It looks like you were on a secret mission again.”
“I guess so.”
“All zodiac gods are like that. Or perhaps you are resting at your residence. “Because you’ve been so busy these days.”
As expected, it is like that.
The zodiac gods were those who only followed the orders of Yang Cheon. Until Yang Cheon gives a separate order, he does not get involved in the affairs of the department and has no authority to do so.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Yeon Ho-jeong was planning to go to Yang Cheon like this. I was planning to go and tell him everything about the identity of the black sheep.
Of course, I will not convey the truth as is. In his arms was a neatly folded letter containing information he had fabricated over the course of half a day.
‘I won’t kill Yangcheon right away either. They’ll first lock him in prison and wait until he comes to his senses.’
That’s why the black sheep was brought to that point. So that it will be difficult to come to your senses for at least a few days.
And by the time he wakes up, Yangcheon will have gone to see Prince Moyong.
‘From now on, it’s a race against time.’
It was then.
‘what?’
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the entrance to Mukryongjeon with puzzled eyes.
The door to the Mukryongjeon Hall was wide open. And many people were coming and going through that door.
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped for a moment and soon found a white paper.
“Seniors.”
The white paper was still expressionless, but it seemed like there was a sense of urgency somehow.
“Is there a problem?”
The white paper spoke in a low voice.
“We’re in big trouble.”
“…?”
“The vice-lord has collapsed.”
“…!”
