434. Confucius Sharpening His Sword (4)

Baek Mi-rang tilted her head at the unexpected sound and asked.

“What are you talking about, little brother?”

“Sister, that’s the sound of Confucius sharpening his sword.”

“What kind of knife are you using to cut so viciously?”

Baek Mi-rang narrowed her eyes and focused on the sound.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Everyone’s eyes moved to follow Baek Mi-rang.

Swish.

Swish.

Even as everyone looked in one direction, the sound continued.

Black Wolf, who had been watching for a while, let out a sigh.

“Oh, I see. I really couldn’t sleep at all because of that noise.”

“Confucius is not gnashing his teeth, but rather sharpening his sword… … .”

Baek Mi-rang shook her head as if she didn’t understand.

Then the story said:

“When will you grind your teeth, Confucius? You will do it later.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Seolhwa.”

As Baek Mi-rang waved her hand, Cheong-hwa, who was watching from the side, pointed to the direction where the sound was coming from.

“Let’s go first, sisters.”

That was when.

Sim Mi-ho, who had been a little further away, also came running.

“I’ll go too.”

After a while.

Seolhwa tilted her head.

Looking at the back, it was definitely Hanbin.

If so, he must have felt something, but Hanbin continued to sharpen his sword.

Swish.

Swish.

The sound of a sword being sharpened echoing through the moonlit night was truly spine-chilling.

What’s strange is that there’s a subtle sense of murderousness in Hanbin’s sharpening sword.

Seolhwa looked at the people around her.

It seemed like they didn’t feel the killing intent coming from Hanbin.

Swish.

Swish.

It seemed like he was only curious about why he was sharpening his sword and why he was pretending not to notice when he heard the sound.

The only thing that made me feel alive was the story.

Seolhwa knew why only she could feel that life force.

That was because he knew Hanbin better than anyone else.

Hanbin is sharpening his sword while smoking a cigarette?

I wondered for whom he was sharpening his sword.

While everyone was tilting their heads, Seolhwa carefully approached Hanbin.

As he approached, he saw a campfire with only embers left in front of Hanbin.

As the sparks and moonlight blended together appropriately, the sword Hanbin was sharpening became visible.

Seolhwa opened her mouth silently.

It was a moon with its sword cut in half.

Hanbin was sharpening Wol-ah’s sword blade.

Swish.

Swish.

The red sparks are flickering, so the moon that can be seen briefly looks red today.

Why do I have the illusion that the red sword is showing me Hanbin’s chest?

Seolhwa approached Hanbin and licked her lips.

Seol-hwa hesitates, wondering if she is bothering them for nothing.

At that moment, Hanbin quickly turned his head.

“Snow Flower has arrived!”

“yes?”

Seolhwa asked with wide eyes. It was because she felt unfamiliar with the sight of Hanbin greeting her so casually.

Hanbin asked at that sight.

“Why are you so surprised? Sit down here.”

“There? But weren’t you doing anything important?”

“Hey, what’s the big deal about a person raising their sword when faced with a life-or-death decision… .”

“Is it a matter of life or death?”

“Then, it’s a matter of life and death. Do the Wei clan die, or do I live?”

“Well, so… … .”

Seolhwa tilted her head as she pondered Hanbin’s words.

“Confucius, aren’t the words ‘the Wei family will die’ and ‘Confucius will live’ both the same thing?”

“My death was never in the plan in the first place.”

“ah…….”

Seolhwa nodded her head, letting out a sigh.

Those around Hanbin were divided into those who nodded and those who tilted their heads.

The ones who nodded were Seolhwa, Cheonghwa, and Simmiho.

On the other hand, Baekmirang and Heukmirang tilted their heads and made expressions as if they did not understand.

At that sight, Cheonghwa stepped forward.

“Our Confucius never planned for failure.”

“Oh, I see… … .”

Baek Mi-rang nodded with a soulless expression.

At that moment, Hanbin got up from his seat.

And then he started walking off somewhere, seemingly unconcerned.

At that sight, Seolhwa asked urgently.

“Where are you going, Confucius?”

“I should go to where the Red Blood Tigers are and join them. Now that I think about it, I’m hungry.”

Hanbin smiled brightly and rubbed his stomach.

Seolhwa quickly followed Hanbin.

“Confucius, let us go together.”

As Hanbin and Seolhwa disappeared into the darkness, the rest of the people looked at each other.

That too for a moment, Cheonghwa said.

“Let’s go quickly too, sisters.”

“Yes, let us follow our lord.”

As Sim Mi-ho nodded, everyone slowly walked towards where Han-bin had disappeared.

At that moment, Cheonghwa, who had been walking a few steps ahead, stopped.

Cheonghwa stopped walking, tilted her head, and looked behind her.

“But who is that person?”

When Cheonghwa pointed to the back, everyone turned their heads.

Among them, Sim Mi-ho tilted his head and asked.

“I can’t see anything, so how can you say it’s a person?”

“I feel something over there.”

“No matter how much I look, it’s not there… … .”

Sim Mi-ho tilted his head.

Because no one was visible where Cheonghwa pointed.

At that moment, Heukmirang walked urgently towards the place Cheonghwa was pointing at.

Ta-da-dak.

Everyone chased after Heukmirang, who was running in a hurry.

The place where Heukmirang arrived was about ten steps away from the campfire where Hanbin was sharpening his sword.

Heukmirang stopped walking as he searched the surrounding bushes.

Sim Mi-ho opened her eyes wide when she saw where Heukmirang was looking.

“What is that person?”

In the place Simmiho pointed, someone was covering their ears. At that moment, the clouds cleared and the moonlight illuminated the bushes again.

At the same time, the man’s face was revealed.

Sim Mi-ho, who was looking at the man’s face, tilted her head and looked at Heuk Mi-rang.

Then he looked at the man again.

It was the same with white rice.

Everyone looked back and forth between the man and Heukmirang.

Black Mirang looked at White Mirang as if she was bewildered by their strange behavior.

“Sister, why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s because your face resembles this person’s. There’s something similar about it… … .”

As Baek Mi-rang trailed off, Cheong-hwa raised her hand and continued speaking.

“I think I know. They both have the same symptoms.”

“Symptoms?”

When Heukmirang was surprised by the sudden words and asked, Cheonghwa answered.

“Both of them look like they’ve been poisoned. There’s no blood left in their faces, and their skin looks like it’s been eaten away by the poison… … .”

Cheonghwa was left speechless.

Because tears were welling up in Heukmirang’s eyes.

“Ah, I said earlier that it was because I couldn’t sleep… … . It’s not just because I couldn’t sleep, but because I kept running without stopping that’s what happened!”

Everyone turned their heads at her shout.

Black Mirang carried a branch from the bushes over his shoulder.

Then he let out a small sigh.

“Sigh… … . Let’s go now. I can’t just leave you behind, you comrade.”

After she finished speaking, she shook her head slightly.

The man she was talking about was none other than Youngho.

Yeong-ho couldn’t sleep a wink all the way from Hubei to here.

There, he had to suffer even more because his lightness technique was lower than that of Heukmirang.

Heukmirang clearly remembered what Hanbin said every time Youngho fell behind.

Hanbin said only one thing.

It was the word ‘termination’.

The moment he heard those words, Youngho, who had been staggering as if he was about to collapse, came to life in an instant.

Thanks to this, Youngho’s body was in a state of several times more damage than Heukmirang.

There was one part I didn’t understand.

That’s how Youngho followed me here.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was impossible with just mental strength.

Heukmirang quietly looked at the place where Hanbin had disappeared.

if…….

That’s because the scene where Hanbin hits Youngho’s back came to mind.

At the time, it seemed like she was just urging me on, but thinking back, I had a suspicion that it might have been a move that opened up the blood vessels inside her.

At that moment, Heukmirang muttered to herself without realizing it.

“Ah, I want to be right… … .”

Baek Mi-rang, who was ahead of her, turned her head at the sound of her voice.

“What are you muttering so much about?”

“No, sis.”

Heukmirang, who was carrying Youngho, quickly shook her head.

After a while.

Everyone gathered in the empty lot where the Red Blood Tiger Squad was.

Hanbin looked at everyone while putting Wol-ah in her scabbard.

Hanbin’s gaze and the Red Blood Tiger Squad’s gaze intertwined in the air.

The Red Blood Tiger Corps members kept their mouths shut and waited for Hanbin to speak.

As everyone’s eyes turned to him, Hanbin said.

“The battle for your life begins tomorrow. For now, let’s rest.”

At that shout, the Red Blood Tiger Squad members shouted simultaneously.

“Your name!”

Their cries sounded like they were coming from one person.

At that sight, Heukmirang and Baekmirang opened their eyes wide.

Because I had never seen such a well-groomed force.

While they were admiring, Hanbin continued speaking.

“Bring out Baek A-ju, Lord Shim.”

When Hanbin looked at Sim Miho, Sim Miho quickly ran somewhere and brought back a box.

There was a bottle of white wine prepared to be drunk if the mission was successful.

Hanbin looked at the white bottle inside the box.

The white azaleas, which appeared to be at least fifty bottles long, were giving off a subtle fragrance.

Hanbin grabbed a bottle.

Then he shot the bottle at a distant enemy.

Whoosh.

And then he shouted.

“Jangsam!”

In that moment, everyone turned their heads.

A bottle of gourd flying in the opposite direction to the direction where Jang Sam, a member of the Red Blood Tiger Squad, is.

The bottle that rose high into the sky draws a parabolic curve and heads toward the ground.

At that moment, everyone’s mouths opened.

If things continued like this, the bottle would fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.

At that moment, Jang Sam from the opposite side came running.

Pava-Park.

Jangsam, who had come running like lightning, flew away.

Whirlwind.

The bottle fell into Jang-sam’s palm, leaving an inch of space between the floor and the ground.

widely.

As Jang Sam grabbed the bottle, Han Bin smiled.

“You haven’t been slacking off in your training all this time.”

Jangsam stood up and smiled, shaking off his clothes.

“Thanks to you, my lord. And I am also grateful to Baek Mi-rang and So-jo.”

Only then did the Red Blood Tigers look at each other.

The bottle that Hanbin threw without a care.

As it turned out, it was a test.

Right now, they were taking a test on the lightness technique of Haomun that Baek Mirang had taught them.

When Hanbin grabbed the next bottle, Sim Miho asked urgently.

“What were you going to do if Jang-sam couldn’t catch that?”

Sim Mi-ho carefully observed Han Bin’s expression.

Clearly this is a test.

If there is a reward, there is bound to be a punishment.

Hanbin smiled brightly and said after seeing Sim Miho’s expression.

“What should I do? I should retire from the martial arts world.”

“omg.”

“Jangsam, the oldest among the members, succeeded, so what about the rest… … .”

Hanbin raised the corners of his lips and looked at the remaining Red Blood Tiger Squad members.

Then he continued speaking.

“If you don’t receive it, don’t retire from the world of martial arts, but learn to say goodbye to the world.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin threw the bottle with a perfect accuracy.

“Take this, Geom-o!”

The sound of footsteps echoing through the empty lot.

Ta-da-dak.

In this way, Hanbin’s lightness test continued.

It was an hour later that Hanbin’s test was over.

After the test was over, Hanbin picked up the remaining Baek-A-Ju with a satisfied expression.

Hanbin opened the lid and poured the cool Baek-Aju into his mouth.

At the same time, the Red Blood Tiger Squad members also pour Baek Ah Joo into their mouths.

The eyes of the Red Blood Tiger Squad members shone brighter than ever.

The one whose eyes sparkled the most was Jang Sam, the oldest member of the Red Blood Tiger Corps.

Jang Sam, who had finished emptying Baek Ah Joo, quietly looked at Han Bin.

When he first met Hanbin, Jang Sam had decided to retire from martial arts.

My body didn’t follow, and there was no hope within Habukpangga.

But one day, thanks to Hanbin who suddenly changed, he had gone beyond first-class and was now at the peak.

Recently, he has even mastered light martial arts that are comparable to those of young warriors.

Jang Sam thought that he would now have no regrets even if he died.

He gritted his teeth, thinking that he would definitely win the decisive battle that Hanbin had spoken of.

Now the moonlight was hidden behind clouds again, but the eyes of the Red Blood Tiger Squad members, including Jang Sam, shone even brighter.

* * *

As the morning dawned, Hanbin woke up earlier than anyone else and shouted to the team members.

“Now let’s move to a new location and lay out the board!”

At Hanbin’s shout, Jang Sam ran over urgently and asked.

“My lord, what do you mean by breaking the board?”
