Beastly and Fearlessly - Chapter 119
Only Noblemtl
“Go and tell everyone. I will be leaving for Hwanmilu tomorrow, so everyone should prepare to fight.” Episode 119
“Phew… … .”
I put down the rock salt.
My whole body was drenched in sweat.
Now that the sun has risen, we head to Sacheon.
Where Hwanmiluju is waiting for me, fully prepared.
Sichuan is the second largest province after Qinghai, excluding Xinjiang and Tibet in the far west.
This is where the Amipa, Cheongseongpa, and Sacheondangga are located.
However, the nuns of the Ami sect do not come down from Amisan Geumjeongbong Peak, and the Taoists of the Cheongseong sect are not interested in the secular world.
Even though the Tang family is watching the surroundings, their power only reaches to the area around the castle where the Tang family is located.
This means that the remaining areas do not receive any significant protection.
‘Maybe they’ll welcome us quite well… … .’
Hwanmilu is located in Seochang County, southwest of Sacheon.
No, it would be more accurate to say that he is dominating rather than establishing himself.
He gathered all the trash black market thieves and started all kinds of dirty businesses, and invested the money he earned in more dirty businesses to expand his influence.
Naturally, there are people staggering around on drugs all over Seochang, and people who have lost all their fortunes gambling fight with each other with knives.
It can be said to be the root of all evil.
At that time, barbarians appeared who wanted to wage war with Huanmilu.
I don’t think we’ll win, but don’t you think we’ll at least have some hope?
I can’t support you openly though.
‘But I can never get used to this thirst… … .’
It doesn’t mean I’m thirsty.
The dragon’s power that has settled in the corner of the heart wants something more.
I have already obtained the power of the Red Dragon.
That thing that swallowed up that great power is now seeking even greater power.
Perhaps it means to quickly offer up the power of the black dragon, white dragon, and blue dragon.
‘I guess I’ll have to go to Bukhae once things are somewhat settled. Is the princess okay?’
Although the power of the Red Dragon suppressed the negative energy that had accumulated in her, it was not a complete cure.
In the first place, it was impossible to completely cure the chronic rhinorrhea she had.
‘Well, it’ll be okay. I told you to come see me if your condition worsens… ‘
First of all, the fight right in front of you is important.
There is only one reason why Huanmilu, located in Sacheon, would be so interested in Kunming’s Beast Gate.
Eunrim suspects me of being the adversary mentioned in the prophecy.
After Salmak failed to get rid of me, Hwanmiluju would have taken it upon himself to take care of it.
The other Twelve Apostles will probably just watch.
So it’s less likely that other people will get involved.
‘But I’ll watch from afar… … and judge. Whether Dam-myeong is a true opponent or not.’
So, there is no need to show them the power I possess.
The power of the red dragon that shoots out flames, and the power of the red eye that makes the left eye turn red like blood.
It means that you have to fight without using your two strongest forces.
‘Well, I don’t think I’ll lose though.’

Hwanmilru.
“Rouge, these crazy kids are coming here right now. Hehe. Who would have thought they would be this stupid and simple-minded.”
“I told you so. Those savage bastards are like that. How many of them are coming?”
“That guy Dam-myeong and his gang of thirty ronin who follow Maeng Deung-ho are all there are.”
“Are you sure? There’s no way a mere ronin could have dealt with the guys he was watching last time so cleanly. Aren’t there other guys out there?”
“I’m sure. I checked out over a hundred pages, but I didn’t see any other people.”
“So that means there are less than forty people. How long do you think it will take to get here?”
“They said they were passing through Ryogang right now, so maybe tomorrow night? They’re stupid, so if they get lost on the way, it’ll take a few more days. Ha.”
“Don’t let your guard down until the very end. After all, these are the guys who destroyed Chilseongbang with just a few guys.”
“Hey, shouldn’t we compare our Hwanmilu with those cheap guys like Chilseongbang? Anyway, the preparations are all done.”
Soon this place will become a graveyard for stupid savages.
All you have to do is watch from the 8th floor of the Hwanmilu while drinking a cup of warm tea.
“Bring that damned bastard with his limbs cut off and bring him to me. Bring that bastard Maeng Deung-ho who dared to betray us too.”
“Brother, can I take care of Maeng Deung-ho? I don’t like the way that little brat looks at me every time I see him.”
Although it was Hwanmiluju Ma Jeongso who threatened Maeng Deungho, it was Ma Hyo-won who originally planned to use his daughter as bait and treat her like a doll.
He even kidnapped his young daughter himself.
So, it is impossible for Maeng Deung-ho’s gaze to be sharp.
“Or so it is. Oh, skin that traitorous bastard and hang him outside. I heard that the barbarians of the South do that kind of thing. I’ll bring that little girl back later and show her around. Heh.”
* * *
In the distance, the huge pavilion of Hwanmilu came into view.
Rouge must be looking at us from the top floor right now.
“Well, it’s complicated.”
Ahead are alleys that are intertwined like a spider’s web.
To get to the pavilion, you have to go through those alleys.
A place where all kinds of traps await us.
If you open the super hot jade, a large road opens up in the middle of those alleys.
But now that he is suspected of being the rival of the Thousand-Year-Old Emperor, there is no need to attract unnecessary attention.
Moreover, there is a possibility that even ordinary people like Seo Chang-hyun will be engulfed in flames.
“I will lead the way. The Hundred Bears will follow behind me.”
The thirty ronin led by Maeng Deung-ho decided to stay at the Beast Gate without exception.
He gave them the name Baekungdae, which means a hundred bears, and appointed Maeng Deung-ho as its leader.
Of course, there are only thirty of them now, but fate sometimes follows the name.
It will soon become a military force comparable to Namungdae in Namcheon Damdong.
“Maybe they’ll sprinkle some red powder called Dreamy Red Mountain. Now, swallow the antidote pill I gave you earlier. It’s made with the secret recipe of Dokgok, so it’ll be able to withstand those cheap poisons from the Central Plains.”
And he said to Nok Seung-seo and Bang Yak-ran.
“You two move as we talked about earlier.”
The two people nodded silently.
I have given each of you a task that matches your abilities, so you will do well.
“As soon as I arrive at Hwanmilu, I will head to the eighth floor. Would Baekungdaeju like to come with me? That guy I mentioned earlier, Ma Hyo-won, should definitely be there.”
According to Maeng Deung-ho, the person who planned to kidnap his young daughter and use him like a puppet was a man named Ma Hyo-won.
The half-brother of Hwanmiluju Majeongso.
“If only Your Majesty would permit it… … I will take care of that bastard.”
“What kind of permission will you need to peel your daughter?”
Maeng Deung-ho nodded, gripping his axe tightly.
And asked.
“But where is the iron gate? I’ve been wondering that ever since I left Kunming.”
“Oh, they’ll be somewhere. If we move, they’ll move with us, so we’ll meet soon.”
Cheolyeongdae has been in charge of Namcheon Damdong’s secret missions for a long time.
Among them, there were many situations where I had to go all the way to the Central Plains.
Although it is not known, there were many Black Swordsmen who were wiped out by the Iron Age.
Even without separate instructions, Grand Master Kwak Deung-un knew better than anyone what Cheolyeongdae should do in this situation.
I just have to trust them.
“Okay, then let’s go and meet Hwanmiluju.”
* * *
Ma Jeong-so and Ma Hyo-won were looking outside through the window on the eighth floor.
Those savages you see in the distance.
Even though he clearly saw a spiderweb-like maze right in front of him, he faced it without fear.
“These idiots. How many of them will make it here alive? Haha.”
“That’s right. I didn’t expect it, but you’d just come at me head on. Hehe. Are you stupid or fearless? Haha.”
“What about Dream Mountain?”
“I’m waiting. I’m disguised as a normal person, so no one will notice. I’ll probably lose my senses soon because of the red powder that’s being sprayed everywhere. There might even be a fight between my men.”
“That sounds fun. Where are those crazy kids from King of Hell?”
“There’s a group in the middle of the alley, and the rest are mixed in here and there. They’re really excited because it’s their first time burning uncivilized savages to death.”
King Yeombang uses white phosphorus, which is prohibited in the martial arts world.
A dangerous item that has a low ignition point and can easily catch fire spontaneously.
The moment it touches the skin, it continues to burn, and if you pour water on it, it seems to go out for a moment, but when it comes into contact with air, it flares up again.
Those crazy guys who carry around white phosphorus in their pockets are the King of Hell.
“Clean up everything after work. We don’t want it to be revealed that Hwanmilu used the King of Hell guys.”
The moment those stupid savages enter the alley, red powder will be sprayed everywhere.
A dreamlike mountain that causes confusion and hallucinations.
Then I’ll be lost and wandering around.
Baekrin of the King of Hell is waiting for those savages.
The flames that Baekrin creates are not only red, but blue.
Soon, blue flames will burst out from all over the alley.
“Rouge, if it was going to be this easy, why didn’t you call in Jeok-an-bul and Na-chal-sam-gwi for nothing? They were grumbling, asking why I called them for such a trivial matter.”
Jeok-an-bul is a master swordsman who swings a giant Nang-a-bong like chopsticks.
There is a red dot right in the center of the forehead, and it looks like a bloodshot eye, hence the name red-eye.
The three Nachal Samgwi are people who use short straight swords as weapons, and they are also guys with certain skills.
It’s a bit flawed that it highlights women so harshly.
“Are those guys on the sixth floor now?”
“Yes. I first tried to stop him from asking for alcohol. I told him that once I was done with work, I would make him drink until his nose was crooked.”
All preparations are complete.
Now, in about an hour or two, you will be able to accomplish what even a single person could not do.
The act of killing a guy named Damyeong.
There are no other variables.
‘But why do I have such an ominous feeling?’
Ma Jeong-so turned his eyes out the window again.
* * *
In the middle of a labyrinthine alley, three of the King of Hell’s men were hiding in the darkness.
“My lord, can’t I just throw this away now? My hands are itching. Hehe.”
One of the men was holding a pouch containing white phosphorus in his hand and giggling.
In fact, even if you say that there are only about twenty people in the King of Hell’s room,
There aren’t that many crazy people in the world in the first place.
A madman who sets fires here and there for fun and delights in seeing people burn to death in the hot flames.
“You little punk, how many times have I told you that the red powder comes first? You’ve finally got a golden opportunity to become part of the Hwanmilu, so are you going to ruin it?”
“Hehe. I know that, but my hands keep itching. But, Master, the savage kids will ride for a long time, right? They’re big, after all.”
“I guess so. Huh? Wait a minute.”
The King of Hell’s Ark raised its head.
Choaack!
Not far away, a red powder could be seen being sprinkled.
This is clearly the dreamy mountain that Hwanmiluju was talking about.
“The long-awaited dreamland has been scattered. Everyone, stand by. Soon, the stupid savages will come here, shambling.”
The moment we’ve been waiting for.
“Oh, and be careful not to let the white phosphorus touch your body when you spray it. Who was it last time? Some idiot sprayed it on me and burned to death. That idiot.”
There was no answer.
He was the guy who was twitching his hands a little while ago.
“Hey kid, be careful.”
King of Hell looked back in annoyance.
The guy who had been talking to her just a moment ago was looking at her with a stern expression.
“What are you doing without coming to your senses… … .”
In an instant, the guy’s head separated from his body and slid away.
As if they were separate from the beginning.
“T, tsk, shit… … .”
The moment I was about to swear.
A cool sensation was felt on the neck of the King of Hell’s Ark, and the world spun around.
The last thing he saw were men wearing long black robes.
After confirming that the King of Hell’s Ark’s neck had fallen off, Cheolyeongdaeju Gwak Deung-un quietly muttered.
