Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 500



Only Noblemtl

500. Tiger in front, wolf in back (7)

Hanbin slowly walked towards the campfire.

There, Jang Yu-jung and the students gathered in one place.

Hanbin crossed his arms near the campfire and looked around.

That was when.

The wind blew from behind.

Swish.

What appeared after the wind stopped was a white-robed Sulhwa.

Seol-hwa was sweating profusely, which was unusual for her.

The reason why Sulwha, who had such a strong martial arts background, was having such a hard time was simple.

It was because of the load she was carrying on her back.

Seolhwa was carrying a load that seemed three or four times larger than her body.

It was very similar to the way ants moved their food.

“Huk, huk. Your Majesty, I’m back.”

“Let’s put it down there and rest, Seolhwa.”

Seolhwa put down the load on her back.

A loud noise was heard as the bundle, which appeared to be three times the size of Seolhwa’s body, hit the ground.

Kwa-ang!

Everyone turned their heads at that sound.

Everyone looked at Hanbin and Seolhwa with eyes of absurdity.

At that moment, Jang Yu-jung came running.

It couldn’t be helped, Jang Yu-jung had just heard that the students were in danger.

Jang Yu-jung thought that the object Seol-hwa brought was a weapon that could protect the students.

Jang Yu-joong asked Han-bin with a face full of anticipation.

“What on earth is this? Scholar Peng Hanbin.”

“This is the thing that will protect us.”

“I guess I was right. So this is… … .”

Jang Yu-jung was unable to continue speaking.

This is because when Seolhwa opened the bundle, an unexpected object appeared.

Jang Yu-jung continued speaking hurriedly.

“Excuse me, what the heck is that?”

“As you can see, it’s an incense burner.”

“Don’t I know that it’s an incense burner? Isn’t that the incense burner in our shrine?”

“Because this is the only one that fits my size.”

“Why did you bring something from the Seowon shrine here? Could it be you… … .”

Jang Yu-jung barely stopped talking.

In fact, Jang Yu-jung was suspicious that Han-bin was crazy.

That would be the case, the giant incense burner seen before my eyes was one that was in the shrine where the old sages were worshipped.

It was quite large in scale because it was a shrine that housed all the ancient sages they should follow, from Confucius to Mencius.

Why did you bring the incense burner that was there here?

Jang Yu-jung couldn’t understand it at all.

Moreover, it was absurd to think that the incense burner in the temple would protect the students.

It was now a time when Jang Yu-jung was doubtful whether there was even a real enemy.

At that moment, Hanbin slightly bowed his head towards Jang Yu-jung.

“Please understand that we need this item here, Dean.”

“hmm.”

“I will take full responsibility.”

It was just as Hanbin finished speaking.

Laughter was heard from somewhere.

haha!

The laughter seemed to come on the wind, so I couldn’t tell where it was coming from.

Also, the voice did not sound like a human voice.

It was dry and lifeless, like crumbling dry leaves.

At that one laugh, the students’ shoulders trembled.

“Where on earth does that voice come from?”

“Ear, aren’t you a ghost?”

“That’s right. It sounds like a ghost’s voice.”

It wasn’t just the students who were agitated.

The guards who had been guarding the perimeter gripped their swords tightly.

He gripped the sword so tightly that the tendons on the back of his right hand were noticeably protruding.

The reason they were so nervous when they reached the peak was because of the inner strength contained in their laughter.

That internal energy was not just any internal energy.

This was because it was not a simple shout of internal energy, but rather it seemed as if a passage had been created with internal energy to send the sound far away.

It was a similar principle to electromagnetism.

It was said that with that level of martial arts, one would have reached the level of Hwagyeong.

There was a strange hostility in that short laugh.

There was no way that someone who smiled without showing his face could be an ally.

It’s surprising that a master of Hwagyeong has appeared here, and even as an enemy.

The guards at Seowon swallowed dry saliva repeatedly.

Jang Yu-jung, the person in charge here, could not have failed to notice the change in the escorts.

Jang Yu-jung swallowed dry saliva.

Hanbin’s words turned out to be true.

He looked at Hanbin again.

“Then do as you wish. But as I said before, you are responsible for what you say.”

“Yes, of course.”

Hanbin answered with a smile.

But Jang Yu-jung did not leave Han Bin’s side.

He didn’t even blink, as if he was watching Hanbin with his arms crossed.

Actually, it wasn’t surveillance.

I was genuinely curious about Hanbin’s actions.

Even the escorts were so tense, but Hanbin’s expression didn’t change at all.

If you hit it with a tree, it would be like a pine tree that boasts greenery all year round.

Hanbin looked at the items left in his bundle without paying attention to his surroundings.

When Hanbin tilted his head while looking at the bundle, Seolhwa said.

“Oh, the item you asked for is inside the incense burner.”

“Okay, I got it.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin took out the items in the incense burner one by one.

Quite a few items came out from inside the incense burner.

As unidentified items continued to pour out, even the anxious students gathered around.

Hanbin organized his things without paying attention to their gaze.

After completing emergency treatment for Hong Geum-ho, Cheong Hwa-do helped Han Bin.

Hanbin placed an incense burner next to the campfire and inserted a long stick of incense into it.

Then he lit the incense.

A gentle fragrance spread in all directions from the incense burner.

Jang Yu-jung, who was watching everything from the side, couldn’t stand it any longer.

“What on earth are you doing, you?”

“As you can see, I burned incense.”

“That’s true, but why are you burning incense here?”

That was when.

The laughter was heard again.

Haha!

This time the laughter was a little louder.

In other words, the enemy had gotten closer.

The students shouted again.

“I guess it’s a real ghost!”

“That’s what I’m saying. What on earth is going to happen today?”

As the students started to stir, Jang Yu-jung shouted.

“Everyone calm down! This place is safe!”

Although he said this, Jang Yu-jung was not sure whether this place was safe.

However, he only trusted the warriors guarding Seowon and Hanbin.

Then Hanbin said.

“The Dean is right. This place is safe.”

In fact, this story was half true and half false.

As the escorts had expected, the opponent was a master of Hwagyeong.

Hanbin also noticed it right away at the first laugh.

The problem was the second laugh.

The escorts didn’t notice, but the first laugh and the second laugh were from completely different people.

In other words, there were two masters of the art of painting.

Two masters of Hwagyeong are targeting Yulim Seowon?

This was unexpected.

But he didn’t show it with his expression.

Jang Yu-jung whispered urgently.

“This place is safe? Is that really true?”

“The proof is that smile.”

“What does that mean?”

Jang Yu-jung tilted his head.

Hanbin continued speaking at that sight.

In fact, this was the first time he had ever been so flustered.

Hanbin continued, pointing into the darkness.

“Think about it carefully. Have you ever seen an enemy who speaks in advance while hitting the back of the head? Even officials who have learned the teachings of the ancient sages, don’t they sneak up on their opponents in political battles?”

“Heh heh… … .”

Jang Yu-jung just laughed.

Hanbin’s words were accurate.

The officials were all followers of the words of Confucius and Mencius.

But when have they ever tried to suppress their opponents fairly?

The sight of them searching for their opponent’s weakness was no different from that of a hungry lynx.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“If that’s the case for managers, what about the martial arts world where people can lose their necks in the blink of an eye?”

“So is it safe here?”

“Yes, it is protected by a formation. It is not an easily breakable formation, so it must be a ploy to lure us out.”

“Ah, it’s a faction… … .”

If it was a faction, I could understand it well.

The reason why Yulim Seowon is safe is also thanks to the formation.

Jang Yu-jung’s eyes suddenly widened as he thought about the formation.

“Why are you doing that, Dean?”

“No, that’s not it, my brother is outside.”

Then a familiar voice was heard from behind.

“You don’t have to worry. Lady Jang Hye-hwa came with me.”

Jang Yu-joong quickly turned his head to check his opponent.

Standing there was Zhuge Liang, one of the newly appointed instructors.

Jang Yu-jung turned his head slightly.

The person standing next to Zhuge Li is none other than his younger sister Zhang Hyehua.

She was drenched in sweat as if she had been rained on.

Jang Yu-jung quickly approached the sight.

“If you are injured… … .”

“Oh, no, brother.”

“Then why are you sweating so much?”

“I was running around with Master Zhuge Li to check the formation, so I got out of breath… … .”

“phew.”

Jang Yu-joong sighed and looked at Jang Hye-hwa before turning his gaze away.

Hanbin was there.

Jang Yu-jung opened his mouth with a calm expression.

“What on earth is going on?”

Hanbin opened his mouth after looking at Zhuge Li’s face once.

“Nothing much. After gathering information from the Justice Alliance and other sources, we received information that someone was targeting this place.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“I just said it was someone, I don’t know who it was.”

“hmm.”

“Do you want to live your whole life with a tingling sensation in the back of your head?”

“That can’t be… … .”

“So I just watched. If I missed the traces, I would regret it for the rest of my life.”

“But if you had told me, wouldn’t I have been prepared?”

“Isn’t the Dean a scholar of great character?”

“… … .”

Jang Yu-joong looked blankly at Han Bin.

The opponent was a Confucian scholar who recognized himself as a genius.

The scholar was poking Jang Yu-jung’s sore spot.

Jang Yu-jung was sick, but he was also great.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“Even if a knife was put to your throat, you would have handled things according to proper procedures. Then, the identities of those targeting this place would never be known. The important thing is… … .”

“Please continue talking.”

“The important thing is that they will hide in the shadows again and come after this place. Of course, if you don’t know that someone is coming after this place, you don’t have to worry. But it’s obvious that someone’s head will be cut off.”

“hmm.”

“Now there is only one thing left for us to do.”

“What is that?”

“It’s a matter of confirming the other person’s identity.”

“Didn’t you say it clearly? We were surrounded. But is it possible to confirm the identity of the opponent? No, even if we did, what good would it do?”

“There are many ways to confirm identity and catch the enemy.”

“What method is there?”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked at Jang Hyehwa.

Jang Hye-hwa took something out from her waist and handed it to Jang Yu-jung.

“Brother, take this.”

Jang Yu-joong reflexively looked at the object Jang Hye-hwa handed him.

“What is this?”

“Yes, it is the light of the Thousand-Li God.”

“You brought what was in my room.”

Jang Yu-jung’s expression noticeably calmed down.

Cheonri Shingwang was a type of firecracker.

But its performance was different from that of ordinary firecrackers.

It was a firecracker designed to be fired into the sky so that danger could be detected here even in broad daylight.

It was given the name Cheonri Shingwang because, with a little exaggeration, it could be seen from a thousand li away.
