Episode 654
Noble Enlightenment (4)
After finding well-dried tea leaves, Ji So-hyeon looked around the village.
‘Feel so good.’
Because of the cold weather, many people wore fur coats. But their faces were full of life.
Those who come out on the streets to promote their guesthouses, those who sell the fish they caught this morning, those who dazzle the eyes of passers-by by brandishing fine silk.
It was a sight that made me feel good just by looking at it.
‘I never thought I would see them with this feeling.’
Ji So-hyun was an orphan. I didn’t know who my parents were, and of course I had no home, so I had no choice but to live as a beggar.
Is that why? She didn’t know that she would be moved by such a peaceful daily life. To her as a child, these people were not ordinary people living their day to day, but cold and harsh people in power.
As she gradually grew older and more mature, she was secretly kidnapped by the owner of a certain Giru.
Even though she was kidnapped, she was grateful for a life where she did not have to beg. Because the scariest thing for her was not violence or lack of freedom, but hunger.
Just before receiving training as a courtesan and living officially.
A fearsome master punished Giru’s master and freed all the courtesans under him.
That person was Ji So-hyun’s teacher, Ha Eung-yo.
All the other courtesans were older and had families, but Ji So-hyun was young and had no family.
In the end, Ha Eungyo took her in and raised her as an entertainer. Furthermore, after finding out that he had martial arts talent, he taught martial arts as well.
Ji So-hyeon, who learned yin and martial arts and further learned the ways of the world, realized what a great fortune it had been to meet Ha Eung-yo.
In that way, Ha Eungyo became heaven for Ji Sohyun.
‘Let’s just go in.’
Ji So-hyun looked at them for a while and then walked towards the mountain.
The distance from my residence to the village was quite long. However, for her who had learned martial arts, Lee Gak was enough for this distance.
That was when I left the village and took the side road leading to the mountain.
“….”
Ji So-hyun’s face became cold.
She had felt some eyes on her before class.
If it’s natural, it’s natural. She became a disciple of Ha Eungyo and learned martial arts, and grew into a beautiful woman. The occasional passing glance was not a big deal.
This gaze was also ignored, but it did not go away even now that we were quite far away from the village.
I felt malice.
“Please come out.”
Slurp.
As soon as she finished speaking, several men appeared from here and there in the bushes.
Ji So-hyun’s eyes lit up.
‘bandit?’
He was wearing a vest made of animal skin and had a series of rather ugly-looking weapons attached to his back and waist.
His face is stained with grime due to not washing, and his beard and hair are shaggy. However, they all had muscular bodies. Anyone could tell that he was a bandit due to his hideous appearance.
“The information was correct.”
The bandit who spoke first was a man with the shortest physique among them.
Although she was said to be short, she had a much bulkier physique than Ji So-hyun. In his hand he was holding an ax with a missing blade, which made him look even more vicious.
“Isn’t it better than what I heard about a fair-faced b*tch moving around town without a house or a house?”
There was a vicious desire in his voice.
Ji So-hyun asked.
“Are you a bandit?”
The men laughed.
“Bandits. “Not like a cancer bandit.”
“Let’s take the leader quickly. “It’s cold too.”
“Ugh, I can’t stand it.”
There are some pretty dirty conversations going on.
Regardless of the sincerity, it was clear that such conversations were extremely powerful in arousing others.
‘There’s no need to find out.’
The teacher always said: Everyone has their own circumstances. What you see on the outside is not everything. So, he said that you should always be careful when using your hands.
But they didn’t seem to need that. There was no need to think about the situation when looking at the ferocious look in his eyes and tone of voice.
The bandit leader pointed his chin at Ji So-hyun.
“Slap me in the back of the head. “Kick me out.”
Pop!
The bandit behind Ji So-hyun quickly rushed at her. Before I knew it, the bandit had a leather bat in his hand.
The bandit swung his bat vigorously.
Squirt! Pow!
“huh?”
The bandit’s eyes widened. The bat that was supposed to hit the back of the head was caught in Ji So-hyun’s hand.
She said calmly.
“Doesn’t it look like you’re about to faint rather than faint?”
“…!”
“Are you really bandits?”
The leader’s eyes grew cold.
“Pounce!”
Faaagh!
The remaining six bandits rushed towards Ji So-hyeon.
Surprisingly, their movements were very fast and sharp. To be considered a simple bandit, he seemed to have learned martial arts at a fairly high level.
Chaang!
The bandit put down his leather bat, pulled a small sword from his waist, and swung it.
Flash!
The short sword split the air. The rushing bandits were startled and stopped charging.
“Slow.”
The eyes of the bandit holding the short sword widened.
A place where voices can be heard. It was right behind him.
Ugh!
With the sound of drums beating, the bandit vomited blood and collapsed.
It was a method of shaking the inside rather than hitting the flesh and muscles. It was a martial art that was difficult to implement in a high-class group where the techniques of penetrating techniques were still alive.
Faaagh!
The bandits each threw down their weapons.
Ji So-hyun’s eyes sparkled.
Flying weapons. They were axes and daggers. However, the speed was considerable and the trajectory was exquisite.
Even if you have learned some internal skills, you cannot make a throw like this. It was a type of flying sword technique that had been practiced over a long period of time.
Pabababak!
Ji So-hyun’s steps as she drew a circle were dazzling.
It wasn’t that fast, but it was a graceful movement. With that movement, all the weapons cutting through the air were blown away.
Percussion!
He even snatched a dagger from one of them.
Ji So-hyun swings by rotating her body. The dagger became a beam of light and stuck in the shoulder of one of the bandits.
“evil!”
It penetrated between the bones, not the shoulder muscles, tearing the cartilage and destroying the joint.
After he fell down and screamed, the five remaining bandits each pulled out their swords and attacked Ji So-hyun.
Ji So-hyun’s right foot stepped forward.
hook!
It seemed like he was moving one step, but in an instant he was right in front of the bandits.
The bandits were frightened and swung their swords, but Ji So-hyeon’s hands were already striking their bodies one at a time.
Boom boom!
With a cheerful sound, all the bandits who attacked fell down on the spot, vomiting blood.
“Whoa.”
Ji So-hyun’s calm appearance as she lightly exhaled and straightened her back was truly impressive.
The bandit leader’s lips twitched.
“It is truly greater than I heard.”
Ji So-hyun asked in a cold voice.
“Who are you? “Reveal your identity.”
“noisy!”
Piiiiing!
At that moment, Ji So-hyun’s eyes brightened.
A ray of light shot from the leader’s left hand and suddenly came right in front of my nose.
‘fast!’
Sigh!
I quickly turned my head to the side, but a small wound appeared on my cheek.
It was not shot like an arrow, but rather a memorized hand held in the shape of an actual arrow.
Paaang!
The leader immediately closed the distance and swung his axe.
Although the movement was like chopping firewood, Ji So-hyun felt a crisis. Both the approach speed and the swing speed were far beyond expectations.
Whick! Whoops!
He quickly twisted his body and hit the wide side of the striking ax blade.
The leader stumbled, but somehow regained control of his posture and swung the ax sideways this time.
The half-moon attack was simple, but fast and vicious. The ability to control the body without complex herbivory was at a high level, so striking a single blow was a burden.
Flash!
He avoided it using the Cheolpangyo technique, but the boss, who had already gained control of his body, struck the ax straight down.
The supply and demand of weapons is free. It cannot be called a giant weapon, but even though it is an ax that is heavier than any other sword, it is handled very quickly and efficiently.
A moment of desperation.
Pow!
Ji So-hyun, who raised her upper body by shooting tension into the ground, wrapped around the slashing ax and raised her knee to hit the boss’s chest.
puck!
“Oops!”
The complexion of the leader who was pushed out with a groan turned pale.
Ji So-hyun asked.
“I asked who it was! “Why are you attacking me?”
“Shut up!”
Paaang!
The superiority in skill was clear. The boss’s martial arts skills were strong, but Ji So-hyun was stronger than him. If Ji So-hyun had had more experience in actual fighting, the match would have ended long ago.
Even though he knew this, the leader did not give up. Although the speed was slower than before, he approached with a fast enough movement and swung his fist. It was because the ax was taken away by Ji So-hyun.
‘Why?’
Ji So-hyun, who dodged the boss’s fist, kicked him in the thigh.
Pow!
The leader’s body shook greatly.
But that was all. Ji So-hyun’s attack was sharp, but not powerful enough to end the attack.
“Ugh!”
With a spirit that was almost like a scream, the leader’s sword was aimed at Ji So-hyun’s neck.
Ji So-hyun’s hands seemed to wrap around the boss’s arms in a gentle curve, and then her body moved behind the boss’s back.
Crump!
I broke my arm by shifting my weight. The leader’s face turned red.
“You damn b*tch…!”
Whoa whoa!
The leader who was hit on the back of the neck fell down.
That was the end of it. I’m not dead, but I probably won’t be able to wake up for half a day.
“Whoa.”
Ji So-hyun, out of breath, suddenly turned her head towards the sound of heavy breathing.
There, a bandit with a dagger stuck in his shoulder was holding a sword that had fallen on the ground and grinning.
Two eyes full of life. A look of boredom appeared on Ji So-hyun’s face.
“Reveal who you are. Then I won’t kill you.”
“dog sound! “How can a b*tch who has never killed anyone be a threat?”
Ji So-hyun’s face turned cold.
I don’t know how he realized that he had no experience with murder. But she wasn’t intimidated.
“That fateful day could be today.”
“noisy!”
Death energy exploded from the bandit’s body.
With the momentum of an immediate attack, Ji So-hyun raised her fighting spirit again.
It was then.
puck!
With a strange hitting sound, the bandit fell to the ground.
“uh?”
The bandit also looked down at his legs in confusion. It seemed like he didn’t even know why he was kneeling.
Teuong!
The bandit fell down with the sound of drums beating. This time too, he didn’t know where or how he got hit.
Ji So-hyun, who was looking down at the fallen bandit with dazed eyes, suddenly turned her head.
Jump and jump.
There was a person walking with footsteps as if he had nothing to hide.
Ji So-hyun frowned.
“…I don’t know what’s going on here.”
The young man walking towards me, quenching his appetite, was carrying a huge spear ax on his shoulder.
At first glance, it was a serious disease with a huge weight. Even though he has such a serious illness, he doesn’t seem to be suffering at all.
Even though I couldn’t feel the energy flowing out, it was clear that he was a master.
The young man asked with a worried expression.
“Let me ask you something.”
“….”
“Perhaps you um….”
Baaaaaaaa!
It is a sure win for the player.
At this moment, a young man holding the same ax that the bandit leader used appeared. It was clear that it was a loss.
Ji So-hyun rushed in without saying a word and immediately swung her tension towards the young man’s side.
Pow!
‘done!’
The intangible tension released from the outstretched hand struck the young man’s side.
The moment a light of victory appeared on her face.
Bye!
The last thing Ji So-hyun heard was a bloody sound in the corner of her head, and she fainted.
The young man, Yeon Ho-jeong, frowned and shook his side.
“What is this, you damn b*stard? “You attack first without even talking? Ugh, just confirm this.”
