Episode 544
You have to hear it to know (4)
Because it moved so secretly, the Mukryongbu was the only force that could oppose the Murim Alliance in the central plains of Tanggeum.
Of course, the number of troops under his command is beyond imagination. If we were to look at simple concentration, it was better than the Murim Alliance.
Doo doo doo doo.
The iron foundations were scattered in all directions.
Hwang Seok-tae, who was watching the movement of the iron platform on the hill, said to the new painter.
“Excluding the entire Iron Team, the remaining nine hundred people will block the southern retreat route.”
“That’s right.”
“No matter what, the number of people is too small. “If the intelligence group does not inform you of the situation at any moment, there is a high chance of missing it.”
“Do not worry. “The Iron Knight Lord knows that the information power of the headquarters is better than that of the Murim Alliance.”
“Of course it is.”
“Gwangpungdan (狂風團), who was on a mission, also said they were blocking the retreat route to the south. “They are forming a camp that extends from Cheolgidan to Gwangpungdan on the second side, so at least the south can be at ease.”
Hwang Seok-tae frowned.
“It’s Gwangpungdan.”
Like the Iron Guard, the Gwangpungdan was an elite unit of the Mukryongbu, consisting of 1,000 troops.
The Iron Team is the strongest unit of the Mukryongbu. When considered in many areas, it was indeed a reasonable evaluation.
However, no one will disagree that the Gwangpungdan is also a group strong enough to overcome the stronghold of the Yongah Iron Gidan.
If we were to be specific, we could say that the Iron Guard was a combat unit more specialized in plain battles and all-out warfare, while the Gwangpung Dan was a unit specialized in urban warfare and special operations missions.
“Well, if those gentle guys form a camp, the south can rest assured.”
It was a rather sour voice.
If it’s natural, it’s natural. Although Yonga Iron Team is the strongest of the Mukryongbu, Gwangpungdan is also not easy. Because each other’s characteristics were so different, they couldn’t get along well.
However, we clearly recognize each other’s abilities. That was it between them.
“Anyway…”
the painter asked cautiously, as if he was having a hard time suppressing his curiosity.
“It’s an inappropriate question for the situation, but… what was it like for Deputy Yeon?”
“hmm?”
“I heard that Jeondae Hwawon really disliked Deputy Yeon. “I guess it had to be that way.”
Hwawon was a member of the new Chinese zodiac. It was stronger and much calmer than the existing painter.
Before she became a new painter under Yang Cheon, she was an expert called Ssanggon Nachal (雙棍羅刹). He was a very famous expert in Heukdo and was famous for his unique personality.
Hwang Seok-tae shook his head.
“You are an unlucky person.”
“is it so?”
“But one ability is certain. “I now understand why the Murim League placed such a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of a young man under 30.”
The flower gardener’s eyes lit up.
Although she had only recently joined the Mukryongbu, she knew how proud and demanding Hwang Seok-tae was.
Hwang Seok-tae has already acknowledged Yeon Ho-jeong. He definitely didn’t seem like an ordinary person.
‘Well, he is a person who has seen the iron team fight from the very beginning.’
The rumor that Yeonhojeong had conducted a ceremony with 1,000 troops of the Iron Guard was a famous incident among the leaders.
Martial arts are martial arts, but the distribution was truly amazing. Who in the world would want to take on the Iron Team alone? It was a matter of courage and confidence before force.
‘I’m curious.’
Hwawon’s eyes lit up.
‘I want to meet you sometime.’
Probably more than half of the leaders would like to have a conversation with Yeonhojeong. The other half won’t even want to make eye contact.
“Anyway, I have to move too. “What are you going to do with the flower garden?”
The status of the zodiac gods is extremely high in that they are the direct subordinates of the Mukryongbuju.
However, in reality, among the leaders of the Mukryongbu, there were many people stronger than the zodiac gods. Due to the special nature of their position as one of the zodiac signs, everyone just respected them.
For example, Hwang Seok-tae’s martial arts skills were one step higher than the current Hwawon Ssanggon Nachal.
Even in the Mukryongbu, which is the epitome of strong self-respect, these people are beyond the scale of strength.
That is why Hwang Seok-tae also shows half-respect to the artist.
“Let’s go together. If you’re going to give out information about the south anyway, it would be better for me to act as a bridge.”
“Okay. let’s go.”
Paaaaang!
Two people jumped off a cliff.
It wasn’t just the Cheolgidan and the Gwangpungdan.
To the north of Mukryongbu, the Doryongdan (屠龍團) and the Trench Hodan (斬虎團) spread the Cheonnaji net, while the east and west were blocked by the Blood Eungdae (血鷹隊) and the Bisadae (飛蛇隊), respectively.
At this level, you can absolutely not escape unless you are an expert in the infinite realm. In particular, in the case of Ye Seong, he absorbed Jeon Hong’s internal strength and expedition leader with his four-point attack, but it will take time to control it.
In an instant, the high-ranking master of Mukryongbuju was transformed into a prisoner who had to be captured and dragged away.
In it, Yeon Ho-jeong and Kang Ryang began to attack places that others could not see.
* * *
“This is true.”
Kang Ryang whetted his appetite.
“Things are going very interestingly.”
“That’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong checked the pulse of a fallen body.
“The vitality is gone, but it’s not like I was sucked in through the pores. The cause of death is poisoning. “It was a heart rupture caused by deadly poison.”
He pulled out a transparent needle from the nape of the corpse’s neck.
It was a needle so small and transparent that it could not be easily seen even by someone who had trained in internal energy. It was reminiscent of the Tang family’s cow-moist needle.
“It’s not like a feather.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked around.
It wasn’t just one person. There were many corpses lying all over the forest.
He died in one place. They all got stung.
“Amazing, huh? “These are all powerful people, and not just one or two, but all of them die.”
“It probably means that we received an unexpected attack in an unexpected situation. Of course, this memorization may have been strong.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking around, suddenly focused his eyes on one place.
“It’s over there.”
The place Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to was a branch of a large tree with lush leaves. Even though it was fall, the trees were not yet bare.
“That’s where the memorization started. There is soot on the wooden surface. They used gunpowder. “It means explosive memorization.”
“Explosive memorization….”
Kang Ryang’s eyes deepened.
“Is it really from the Tang family?”
The identities of these corpses were several leaders of the Mukryongbu who had supported Yeopseong but then turned their allegiance back to Buseon.
Although they were considered leaders, they had virtually no power. This was because he was one of the weakest in martial arts and had no other connections.
However, this did not mean that their martial arts skills were absolutely weak. Although he was weak for the leader of the Mukryongbu, each individual was at a level that could make him the master of a small or medium-sized sect.
“I don’t know if it’s from the Tang family. To be honest, when it comes to memorization of this level of power, there is no group that comes to mind other than the Party…”
There is only one group.
It was Namman’s Five Poison Palace. However, they were the ones who clashed with the party and suffered a cruel defeat. Now, I didn’t even know if it was still alive or not.
“At least that’s not what’s important right now.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“The important thing is, if you had these items, why didn’t you use them sooner?”
If you listen to Bu-seon’s words, Ye Seong was literally on the verge of death.
However, Ye Sheng said that he had left one last move to escape. At that time, he was caught off guard and ran away, and not even the boat could catch him.
But that guy even had memorization? If I had written it to Bu-seon on the spot, the pendulum would have been completely tilted, right?
“It’s one of two things. “Either a third party is helping Ye Sheng, or Ye Sheng has created countless traps like this around the Molongbu.”
Kang-ryang shook his head.
“It would be difficult to think of it as the latter.”
“okay. There’s no reason to do that. “I don’t know what you’re planning to do.”
“Then… should we interpret this to mean that it is waterproof?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘It’s giving me a headache.’
It feels similar to catching Sejak in Murimmaeng.
In fact, without knowing Ye Seong’s intentions, it is difficult to judge whether there is really a waterproofing or whether traps have been laid throughout the entire Mukryongbu.
‘When you’re not sure about anything, you choose what’s most likely.’
It was natural. The Murim League’s three pieces were also captured in that way.
But…
‘I don’t know what’s taking this long.’
Assuming that Yeopseong had mastered Saheukgong, it can be seen that someone with ties to the Three Schools approached him.
If someone had approached Ye Sheng, what would Ye Sheng have believed and why would he have accepted the sword handed to him without question?
No, he had an excellent eye for martial arts, so it would not have been difficult to immediately judge whether it was a dangerous martial art or a martial art that could be learned as soon as he received the guidance of a martial arts technique.
What is important is the process by which Yeopseong receives the death blow from ‘someone’.
‘At least Baekdo will not be a political faction. Heukdo or belonging to a tribe that Yeopseong would not be very suspicious of…’
That was then.
Yeon Ho-jeong slowly turned his head towards the southeast.
‘Look at this.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, with his eyes fixed on the southeast, spoke in a calm voice.
“Strength.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Go to the Mukryongbu right now and report the situation here. “Everything about poison and memorization.”
“All right.”
“It can be dangerous, so be careful around your surroundings.”
“Do not worry.”
hook!
Gangryang disappeared in an instant. It was a ghost trick that raised the ghost king’s secret to its limit.
It was a movement that utilized stealth and maneuverability in the forest rather than speed. With that level, you will be able to reach the Mukryongbu without being discovered by anyone.
Sreung.
Yeon Ho-jeong, holding the Black Dragon, stepped on the trail.
A faint trace of Yeopseong remained. There were no traces of blood, as if the bleeding had been stopped properly.
Yeon Ho-jeong walked carefully but at a fairly fast pace.
‘That’s interesting.’
He felt a faint odor coming from the southeast.
It was not just a miasma. It was a sticky energy that was difficult to describe, a mixture of insidious life and death.
‘He’s looking at me.’
Actually, that was also ambiguous.
It seems like he’s definitely looking at me, but I don’t know where he’s watching me.
‘No matter what, if you’ve already caught me, there’s no reason to hide your popularity.’
Phew.
Yeon Ho-jeong naturally prayed.
Jiiiing.
The Yeongasindan began to rotate, and the divine energy of the Four Gods emitted holy light from each part.
Phew!
The energy wave that started low and suddenly spread out in all directions was truly amazing.
Pasasasasasak!
The energy was so fierce that birds, rats, snakes, and other animals hiding in the trees were scattered in all directions.
‘….’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘Are you embarrassed?’
I do not know. The distance was too far. It didn’t read well.
Yeon Ho-jeong awakened his five senses as sensitively as possible.
It was then.
bang!
Before the roar erupted, Yeon Ho-jeong’s body soared high into the sky.
Babababababaak!
Countless needles were stuck where Yeon Ho-jeong was standing.
Cheeeeeek!
The weeds and fallen leaves that had been hit by the needle began to melt, producing white smoke.
It was extremely toxic. It was much more poisonous than the poison lurking in the bodies of the corpses we had seen earlier.
‘crazy.’
Yeon Ho-jeong was embarrassed.
‘Are you really saying they installed memorization all over the place?!’
It was then.
Beyond my blurred vision, I realized that the other person was accurately capturing me again.
Flash!
Yeonhojeong’s eyes sparkled with fire.
When the other person looks at him, he also recognizes the other person. Yeon Ho-jeong even accurately figured out how far the other person was to the southeast.
Paaaaaa!
Yeonho-jeong, who was rushing fearfully while stepping on tree branches, soon landed at the entrance to a wide open space.
And there.
There was a man.
