Episode 554
Signs of collapse (4)
Song Ha-ni was embarrassed.
“What about So Sohyeop?”
“Are you a small group of people and Amifa?”
It was a voice with a blunt and puzzled tone.
How can I say that I am somehow overwhelmed by the atmosphere?
Song Ha-ni answered without realizing it.
“That’s true, but…”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking down at her, sighed.
“You have to be reasonably naive to even be suspicious. It’s so white, it doesn’t have any blemishes.”
Although he said so, he had thought for sure that she was Amapa’s nun from the moment he followed her in the first place.
It couldn’t be otherwise. From this unknown nun, the true nature of Amipa’s highest-grade magical arts was coming out moment by moment.
The beauty of that level of purity was something that could never be achieved through clumsy learning. It was not an internal skill gained through elixir or physical training, but a pure miracle of enlightenment.
If Jinki contained that level of purity, his personality was bound to be gentle as well, no matter how he said it.
However, the authenticity felt was clearly that of a transcendental master, but the problem was that it was too clean.
“Let’s get out of here for now. “Let’s properly prevent the poison from penetrating.”
“No, who on earth are you…?”
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes suddenly changed.
Song Ha-shini inhales it without even realizing it! I took a deep breath. The young man’s eyes were so scary.
Flash! Flash!
A slash from a black hatchet diagonally crossing left and right.
Sigh!
Blood rain fell under the moonlight, accompanied by an eerie sound.
Song Ha Ni was astonished. The masked people who had not been caught by sight or sense of sight were finally visible.
But it was so terrible. Their bodies were cut diagonally by the slashes of the axe, spilling out large amounts of blood and internal organs.
“What are you doing?! “Move quickly!”
“ah!”
Faaagh!
Song Ha-ni quickly kicked the roof. Even though I thought I shouldn’t be doing this, my body was reacting first to that scary young man’s voice.
“shit.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was about to attack the invisible assassins, clicked his tongue at Song Ha-sini’s unstable movements.
hook!
“omg!”
Song Ha Ni was surprised. Before he knew it, the young man flew next to him and put his arm around him.
“Relax.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
Paaaaaa!
With a tremendous sound, the two people disappeared in thin air.
It was truly crazy speed. Song Ha-ni could not even scream as she experienced rapid movement for the first time in her life.
‘Oh no!’
tremendous. The surrounding landscape was being pushed backwards at an alarming speed.
I have never seen or experienced a divine law this fast before. It seemed to be faster than a winged bird. It was the weightless movement of flame.
How long did it run like that?
Two people stepped through a dozen buildings on a colorful street and landed in front of a small forest.
“Gasp!”
As soon as he landed on the ground, Song Ha-ni knelt down and took a deep breath.
I was so dizzy that I felt sick to my stomach. It was difficult to tell whether it was because of the poison or the incredible speed of the divine law.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong’s hand touched Song Ha-sini’s famous acupuncture point.
“Calm down. “Don’t be nervous.”
In an instant, all strength disappeared from Song Ha-ni’s body.
‘What a strange young man he is.’
When you hear his voice, you naturally act like that. It was a voice with a strangely natural persuasiveness.
Grumble!
The Chuchu Fire energy penetrated into Song Ha-ni’s famous blood.
Song Ha Ni was inwardly surprised. If you make a mistake by infiltrating internal energy of a different nature, your body will suffer serious internal injuries and will not be able to thrive.
But her surprise was soon overshadowed by an even bigger surprise.
‘Unbelievable!’
Wooooow!
Before I knew it, the hot energy flowing through my entire body had burned off most of the miasma that had spread like ink.
It was tremendous power. A force as strong as a fingernail suppressed that poisonous poison in an instant.
Even considering the characteristics of the firearm, this was an incredible feat. Even with Amipa’s peak divine power, the poison that was in such a hurry to be blocked was burned away in an instant!
‘This young man’s true spirit is extremely concentrated! Moreover, this sacred firearm…?!’
After a while.
Cheeeeeeeek!
White smoke rose from Song Ha-ni’s wound, and then blue smoke came out. Residual poison is being discharged outside the body.
Yeon Ho-jeong took her hand away from her Myeongmunhyeol.
“It’s done.”
“…!”
“Internal injuries caused by poison cannot be helped. “I hope you can take care of that.”
Song Ha-ni looked back at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Before I knew it, the ax had been lifted and only the iron bars were visible in my hands. At first glance, it seemed to be an item smelted by a master from high-quality iron.
Song Ha Ni lowered his head.
“Thank you. “Thanks to you, I survived.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
I had been very frustrated just a moment ago, but when I received this greeting, I felt like all that frustration disappeared.
‘He’s quite kind.’
There are not many people who say thank you for saving their life in the brutal martial arts world. Rather, most people were worried and suspicious of why he was spared and whether there was some ulterior motive.
The Kang-ho that Yeon Ho-jeong sees and the Kang-ho that Song Ha-sini sees are very different.
“Amipa, it seems like you are an elder-level person.”
“He’s just an elder.”
“As expected, the elder was right.”
“It is said that you are blessed. “Thank you again to your benefactor.”
Even though he was a young man, his attitude was polite.
It would have been natural since he was the benefactor who saved his life, but even such a sight was extremely unfamiliar to Yeon Ho-jeong.
“It’s okay to say hello. “Because I also followed in Shinni’s footsteps.”
“Yes?!”
“Amipa’s nun was walking down the street, but she was extremely nervous. “I thought something was strange, so I followed him.”
He was extremely confident in saying that he followed behind. Song Ha Ni was dumbfounded for a moment.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“But it was a bit strange. He seemed to have excellent skills, but he was very clumsy. “It seems like it’s being cautious of its surroundings, but I can see a gap in its footsteps and I thought it might be sneaking up on me, but it doesn’t even make a loud noise or try to calm its aggression.”
“….”
“Did you only practice Buddhism in the mountains?”
Song Ha-ni’s face turned a little red.
It wasn’t anything to be ashamed of. Because each person chooses a different path. Would Yeon Ho-jeong be ashamed that he read less Buddhist scriptures than Song Ha-sini?
However, as an elder of Amipa, he still seemed embarrassed.
“It’s just embarrassing. “Because I have never engaged in Sepa and lived only according to the teachings of the mountain…”
“That is amazing in some other way.”
“Anyway… can you tell me the name of your benefactor?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly. Even so, I felt strangely uncomfortable seeing the elder of Amipa treated with such respect.
Yeon Ho-jeong put down his spear and took the gun.
“My name is Yeon Ho-jeong, the eldest son of Gangdong Byeoksan Yeonga. “I am currently serving as the leader of the Murim Alliance’s military and a specially appointed deputy of the Mukryongbu.”
“ah!”
There was surprise on Song Ha-ni’s face.
“The one famous for being the best review index in the world?”
The best review index in the world. It’s a title that gives me goosebumps no matter how many times I hear it.
“You were a great person. Although he did not go out into the world, Eunkong’s cooperation and martial arts were heard even in the quiet mountain temple.”
“I guess so.”
“But… what about the position of special deputy of the Mukryongbu?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head without realizing it. No matter how far away I am from the Murim League, I never thought there would be people who don’t know what’s going on in the world to this extent.
“Did you not know that the Murimmaeng had entered a state of semi-fengmun?”
“Yes?!”
“The Murim Alliance has entered into a temporary alliance with the Mukryongbu to deal with the common enemy. “I’m sure you know the Inkryongbu, right?”
“Oh, I know.”
Song Ha-ni’s face became even redder. For some reason, I felt more and more embarrassed.
It was then.
“Wow, that’s really fast.”
An older man holding a red long spear walked from afar. It was Hwang Seok-tae.
Song Ha-ni was nervous without realizing it. Even at first glance, he was a master who gave off an unusual atmosphere.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“This is my group. “There’s nothing to be nervous about.”
“…Oh yes.”
“by the way.”
Yeon Ho-jeong slowly squatted down and asked with a puzzled look.
“Why on earth did you go there? “No, where is it that you tried to go in so secretly, and what are those damn assassins?”
For a moment, tension appeared on Song Ha-ni’s face.
This is the person who saved his life. Since he received grace, he told me his affiliation and dharma name.
However, when I asked about ‘that matter’, I suddenly had doubts.
It couldn’t be helped. She came here alone, not trusting even the monks. It wasn’t exactly that I didn’t believe it, but it was because I felt like I shouldn’t believe it.
In any case, it is not something that even a benefactor can easily tell.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded as he looked at Song Ha-sini, who was looking at him with nervous eyes.
“If you don’t feel like it, you don’t have to tell me. “Well, since he followed me right away and suddenly said he was the eldest son of the Byeoksan Love Family, I can’t help but be suspicious.”
“Ah…”
Song Ha-ni felt sorry for a moment.
“That’s not it…”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up, holding the spear.
“Judging by the fact that you were wary of your surroundings, I think you wanted to avoid being seen by others. Please take care of your condition here first. “I’m out of danger, but the internal damage from my addiction will be quite deep.”
“I am…”
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Hwang Seok-tae.
“I’m sorry. “Please take charge of this gentleman’s guard for a while.”
“What about you?”
“Whatever the reason, it’s a place full of dangerous assassins. Moreover, since they tried to kill the elder of Amipa, I cannot just ignore it as a member of Kangho.”
Hwang Seok-tae frowned without realizing it.
As Kangho’s eastern province, you can’t just pass over it?
‘Why is this person doing this creepy thing?’
Yeon Ho-jeong is a person for whom words such as Kang-ho’s morality and martial arts friendship will not make any sense. To begin with, he was not a person driven by loyalty or recognition.
Does a person like that say things like Dongdo that are embarrassing to listen to?
It was then.
“omg! Are you really thinking of going back there?”
“Of course we should go, right? These are the ones who attacked the elder of Amipa. “I don’t know what’s there, but I’ll go and get it all out.”
“It’s dangerous up here!”
“Don’t worry. Because somehow I have the ability to save my life. You should worry more about Shinni than me. “Internal injuries caused by addiction are more difficult to repair than regular internal injuries.”
Yeon Ho-jeong coldly turned his back, as if that was the end.
At that time, Song Ha-ni suddenly stood up.
“Please wait a moment!”
“hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head and blinked.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“That’s it…”
Song Hashi-ni, who hesitated, soon sighed deeply.
“No matter what, you can’t just send your benefactor to such a dangerous place, right?”
“I told you not to worry.”
“I’ll tell you.”
“hmm?”
“I haven’t even confirmed what kind of place it is or whether it is there yet… “I’ll tell you anyway.”
“Oh, would you please?”
Yeon Ho-jeong approached with a bright smile.
“I am ready to listen.”
Hwang Seok-tae, standing next to him, thought.
‘An assassin who cleanly kills people seems less evil.’
This is a man you should never pretend to be.
