Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 464



Only Noblemtl

464. Pick it up as you pass by (3)

The child’s pulse did not reject Hanbin’s energy.

Hanbin narrowed his eyes.

Contrary to expectations, no magical energy was felt in the child’s body.

There wasn’t even a single speck of magic.

The energy in the danjeon was similar to that of a shaman or a volcano.

That is, it meant the energy of Taoism.

A Taoist child surrounded by demons?

Hanbin snickered.

I don’t know what happened, but I had a feeling that someone had put this case in their hands.

Hanbin used the energy of the Yongrin Sword Technique on the child.

‘Knight’s Resurrection.’

I didn’t use it all at once, I just poured it in a little bit.

Suddenly the child opened his eyes.

Surrounding the child were Hanbin, Seolhwa, and Cheonghwa.

The child stared blankly at the three of them, then screamed as if something occurred to him.

“evil!”

At that sound, Seolhwa immediately took action.

Pick.

It was the very thing that suppressed the blood clot.

Cheonghwa’s mouth opened wide at the sight.

“Sister, what if you draw blood without asking the child?”

“There is a saying in Gangho that there are three things to be careful of.”

“An old man, a woman, a child?”

“Okay. What if this kid calls another colleague?”

“As expected, you are my sister.”

Seolhwa waved her hand with a satisfied expression at the change of stance that was faster than the light of Cheonghwa.

“No. I was touched by your compassion. A martial artist should not only know how to kill people, but also have the heart to save people. Just like you.”

“No. Confucius always said that doubt is a virtue in martial arts. You are the best.”

Seolhwa and Cheonghwa compliment each other in this chaotic scene.

Hanbin’s expression softened.

In fact, the story was right.

To reassure their opponents, assassins usually disguise themselves as old people and children.

But now this child was not disguised.

Hanbin washed the child’s blood-stained face and thoroughly examined it to see if it was covered in food.

He breathed his true energy into the veins and examined whether they had any martial arts skills.

First of all, there were no suspicious circumstances.

There was no sign of any uninhabited people around.

If he had magical power, it would have reacted since he had breathed Yongrin’s energy into him.

But there was no response.

Hanbin, who had been observing the child’s condition for a while, released the blood clot.

The child opened his mouth slightly.

“……ah.”

The child just opened his mouth and looked at the story.

It seemed as if he was asking for permission.

Seolhwa smiled faintly at the sight of the child.

Seol-hwa, her guard down, quickly took the bundle out of the carriage.

Then, at an invisible speed, he took something out and aimed it at the child’s mouth.

It’s a sharp object at first glance.

The child turned his head with his mouth open at the sudden flying sharp object.

But Seol-hwa changed direction slightly and ended up putting it in the child’s mouth.

In an instant, the child’s eyes widened.

For a moment, the child’s mouth twitched.

At that sight, Seolhwa opened her mouth.

“Sugar is the best for waking up. What do you think?”

The child stared blankly for a moment, then picked up the skewer, looked at the candy, and answered.

“Oh, let’s drink.”

I had a handful of candy in my mouth so I couldn’t even pronounce things properly.

Hanbin, who had been watching their conversation, stood up from his seat.

Then he walked towards the groom.

The coachman still had his nose blocked, perhaps because he was upset.

But when he saw Hanbin coming, he quickly regained his composure.

“Are you here, Confucius?”

“Are you feeling better?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“Thank you for your hard work up to this point.”

“What, what do you mean?”

“I think we should part ways here.”

“I was ordered to escort Confucius to the Confucian Academy… … .”

“It’s okay. There are dead bodies strewn about. Can you pass through that road?”

Hanbin looked at the groom with a kind face.

The coachman swallowed his saliva.

“hmm.”

Clearly, I received an order from Baek Mi-rang to escort me to Yulim Seowon.

But the moment I saw that gruesome sight, I lost my mind.

He lost his family to bandits when he was young and has lived with the Haomen ever since.

This scene brought back memories of his childhood.

But the Confucius in front of him was taking care of him as if he knew his pain.

In fact, I heard in passing that he was going to become the master of Haomen.

He was resentful of the idea that a rolling stone would take over Haomen.

But seeing the four Confucius of Habukpengga up close like this, I realized that he was a true saint.

As the coachman’s eyes grew moist, Hanbin continued speaking.

“Do as it says here. Don’t let Haomen handle it. You must contact the place listed here.”

“Yes, I understand. But what about the carriage, Your Majesty?”

“Just take it. We’ll get a new carriage in the next town.”

“ah.”

“Then that’s it… … .”

Hanbin turned around and gestured to his group.

At Hanbin’s signal, Seolhwa quickly grabbed the child’s hand.

Then he stepped over the body and walked away from the carriage.

Hanbin and Cheonghwa also disappeared from their seats.

It seemed as if the wind had passed by as it disappeared without a sound.

As the coachman was blankly watching the scene, an urgent shout was heard from somewhere.

“older brother!”

He was a real evil spirit.

He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then followed Hanbin urgently, holding a spear.

The coachman, after confirming their appearance, climbed into the carriage and quickly grabbed the reins.

I knew that staying in a place like this for too long wasn’t good.

He quickly drove the carriage in the opposite direction he had come from.

How far did it go?

The coachman saw someone blocking the road.

For a moment, my heart sank.

He quickly collected his expression and slowly stopped the carriage.

The coachman stopped the carriage, examined their clothing, and only then breathed a sigh of relief.

“phew.”

Fortunately, the opponent was a member of the political party.

The reason the groom thought they were a sect was simple.

Judging by the plum blossoms densely embroidered on the sleeves, it was clearly the Hwasan faction.

Plum Blossom Inspector is said to be the most talented among the Hwasan faction.

There was another person wearing a shaman’s uniform embroidered with the Taegeuk symbol, the shaman’s symbol.

Both the volcano and the shaman were Taoist sects.

The coachman, who thought he had escaped the misfortune for the time being, asked cautiously.

“Why did the two Taoists block the road?”

“I stopped the carriage because I have something to ask you.”

The person who spoke was the plum blossom inspector of the Hwasan faction.

“Yes, please do. My name is Masam, and I work as a handyman at Haomun.”

The groom revealed his identity without any hesitation.

He humbled himself as much as possible.

Although Hwasan is a Taoist sect, it is a martial arts school.

Wasn’t there a plum blossom inspector there?

Lying about your identity could be detrimental.

As expected.

The other person continued speaking with a smile.

“You’re from Haomen. That’s a good thing.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Is there anyone in the carriage?”

“There is no one in the carriage.”

“Well, the tracks I’m looking for definitely match the wheels of a carriage. But there’s no one there… … .”

“You can take a look.”

The coachman pointed inside the carriage with his hand.

Then, the man from the Volcano faction opened the carriage door in an instant.

He looked inside and muttered with a dejected expression.

“It’s already gone.”

“Huh? What do you mean, disappear?”

“Okay. If you see Prince Peng later, tell him that Plum Blossom Swordsman and Hyeonmun are looking for him.”

“Did you just say Plum Blossom Sword Association?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The plum blossom inspector of the Hwasan faction who was talking to Masam was none other than Seo Jae-oh.

Seo Jae-oh smiled as if he knew this would happen.

He enjoyed the look of surprise on people’s faces when he revealed his nickname.

As expected.

The other person reacted as expected.

“Then aren’t you an acquaintance of Prince Peng? If you had told me earlier… … .”

Masam trailed off.

It was already rumored that Plum Blossom Sword Association was a close friend of the Habuk Pengga Sa Gongja.

If the opponent was the Plum Blossom Sword Association, there was no reason to hide it.

Masam narrowed his eyes and looked at his sleeve.

It was definitely the real Volcano faction’s uniform.

But there were some parts that were a little suspicious.

The point was that his tone was too light for a plum blossom inspector.

Seo Jae-oh continued speaking, not caring about Masam’s burdensome gaze.

“It’s okay. Once you get off the carriage, just look for the trail again.”

“Now, just wait a minute. There’s chaos up ahead.”

Masam decided to be honest.

Seo Jae-oh was startled by his words and asked.

“What does that mean?”

“therefore…….”

Masam honestly confessed what had happened a little while ago.

“Oh, that happens.”

When Seo Jae-oh nodded, the shaman behind him grabbed his head.

He was none other than Hyeonmun.

Hyunmun, whose expression changed from red to blue, muttered to himself.

“Ah, the death penalty strongly warned me not to get involved in the affairs of the Gangho anymore, so how could this happen… … .”

Hyunmun looked at the long, narrow path with a look of embarrassment.

Seo Jae-oh asked at that sight.

“What does that mean?”

“You didn’t mention me. But… I heard that if Prince Peng gets caught up in the affairs of the Gangho, it will be dangerous.”

“Who said that?”

“That’s what the Taegeuk Sword Master said.”

“omg.”

When Seo Jae-oh exclaimed in surprise at the unexpected words, Hyeon-mun pointed to the long path and shouted.

“Well, I guess it would be best to catch up quickly.”

“All right.”

After finishing speaking, Seo Jae-oh quickly raised his internal energy.

Two new models that disappear in an instant.

As soon as they disappeared, the groom Masam quickly grabbed the reins.

The one who respected those who were as far below him as he was the master of Haomen, the Four Dukes of Habukpengga.

But now, when I heard that such a person might be in danger, I became anxious.

The scene of brutal carnage that had just blocked their carriage may have been a sign of this.

He decided to go back and report this situation to Moonju.

* * *

“Etchi.”

A sneeze echoed from the mountainside.

“Master, have you been caught in a trap?”

“No. My ears used to itch, but now my nose is ticklish. It’s obvious someone is talking about me… … .”

“Who is talking about Confucius? They probably don’t even know we’re here.”

Seolhwa pointed downwards.

Below, a long path stretched out.

What on earth happened?

Hanbin and his group left the scene of the incident and climbed up the cliff.

Hanbin and Seolhwa, who had learned the Eighteen Steps of Begging, quickly hid themselves in the foot of the mountain.

There was no need to use the exposed scaffolding since the carriage had been abandoned.

Hanbin turned his head and looked at the child.

The child was also staring blankly at Hanbin.

When their eyes met, Hanbin asked the child with a kind face.

“If there’s anything you remember, feel free to tell me.”

“Ugh, I don’t remember anything at all.”

“Then when did you start remembering?”

“I only remember three faces.”

“Three people… …. Is that us?”

“Yes, that’s right. I don’t remember anything before that.”

“Then you probably don’t remember the name either.”

“That, that… … .”

“If you remember anything, tell me.”

“I remember being called ‘Sogun’. But I don’t remember when, where, or who called me that.”

“You are a small army.”

Hanbin narrowed his eyes and searched through his memories from his past and present life.
