Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 602

602. Blood after (2)

At this point, it didn’t look like the bloody sword that Seolhwa treasured so much.

There is dirt scattered here and there, so a passerby would mistake it for farm equipment.

“It’s all ruined. I didn’t mean to make you suffer, but huh… … .”

Seolhwa let out an exclamation as she looked at the Uhyeolrang Sword.

At that moment, Hanbin’s voice was heard.

“If it’s hard, I’ll trade you some Cheonghwa… … .”

“Oh, no, Your Majesty!”

“If you have a hard time, tell me anytime.”

“No, I will do it.”

Seolhwa shook her head and wiped the dirt off the blood-stained sword with her sleeve.

Thud thud.

Seolhwa took a weak step forward.

* * *

It was a light sound of footsteps, but to Ja-cheong, who was buried in the ground, it was louder than thunder.

Jacheong, barely able to catch his breath through the reeds on the ground, knew that his death was drawing near.

There was only one reason why she was certain of death.

That is because the names Seolhwa and Cheonghwa came from the mouth of a man named Confucius.

It’s a fairy tale… … !

Ja-cheong had vaguely heard that name.

The name of the female martial artist who revealed her face in the martial arts world under the name of Seolsan Shinnyeo was Seolhwa.

I’ve also heard the name Cheonghwa there.

It is the name of a master who first appeared in the Mugajihoe, a direct descendant of the Sacheondangmun.

What Ja-cheong is thinking seriously about now is that he used to hide his name, but now he blurts it out so easily.

There is only one situation in which one would be comfortable revealing one’s identity.

It was time to take the opponent’s life.

It was when Ja-cheong was trembling with fear.

“Huh.”

Suddenly I felt out of breath.

Ja-cheong stopped breathing urgently.

Everything was as she had expected. These people were even more vicious than the Sapa and the Magi.

He said he would spare my life but not let me go, but then he immediately changed his words.

The most vicious thing is that it gives hope at the end.

By blocking the air coming through the reeds, he turned that hope into despair.

In an instant, a kaleidoscope of images flashed before Jacheong’s eyes.

A ship appears before her as she lives in the barren North Sea.

That was the background.

That boat changed her life.

Baek Kyung’s drones landed quietly on the ferry landing of the village where Ja Cheong lived and made a proposal.

They said they came to this village to select someone with the qualities of a hermit.

He said that if one of the chosen ones succeeds in becoming a god, the villagers will no longer have to worry about making a living.

The person chosen that way was none other than Jacheong.

Among the countless adults and children, Baek Kyung’s people only picked out Ja Cheong.

When I was chosen as a Baek Kyung warrior, I thought I could become a god right away.

He was mistaken in thinking that being chosen among hundreds of adults and children meant that he was qualified.

Of course, that illusion disappeared like a mirage a year after it was first revealed.

As a member of Baekgyeong’s crew, Ja-cheong was unable to perform even the most basic role.

Compared to the talents of my seniors, I was just a drop in the bucket.

No, it may not even have had as much presence as a drop of blood on a bird’s foot.

Years passed and I was given my first mission.

That was the mission this time.

In the fleeting images, the family I left behind in the North Sea appeared before my eyes.

Come to think of it, I haven’t heard any news from my family since I climbed the Baekgyeong Peak.

All he was promised was that if he became a god, he would gain eternal life, and his family and others remaining in the village would never have to worry about food or shelter for the rest of their lives.

So what happened to the villagers who remained in the North Sea?

As that thought came to his mind, Jacheong shook his shoulders.

I was surprised that I had never once thought about my family who remained in the village.

‘Why on earth?’

Ja-cheong couldn’t finish his thought.

Because I heard the other person’s voice.

But I couldn’t hear the voice clearly because my mind was hazy.

For a moment, the axis of the earth suddenly shook.

I gritted my teeth, thinking this was the end.

* * *

Seolhwa had momentarily forgotten about the rabbit-masked warriors buried below.

I never thought that someone would be shaking with anxiety.

What was important to Seolhwa now was digging a hole.

Even that had to be done carefully so as not to damage the blood vessels.

After digging holes a few times, Seol-hwa started to get the hang of it.

The trick to digging a hole was finding a place with a smooth bottom.

Seolhwa looked around busily.

A slightly sandy floor came into view.

This is a hundred if not a hundred, if you just stretch out your hand, the floor is piled high.

Seolhwa smiled faintly and walked away holding the Uhyeolranggeom.

Seolhwa, who had been walking a few steps, looked down.

Because the sensation on my toes was subtle.

I squinted my eyes and saw that the thick reeds were bent into the shape of a sickle.

“ah.”

When I think about it, it was the reed that buried Baekgyeong’s warriors and connected them with a lifeline.

Seolhwa took careful steps.

Of course, it wasn’t intentional.

This was a mistake.

Hanbin’s orders were to put the enemy in fear, but to keep them alive until the end.

Seolhwa glanced at Hanbin.

Hanbin was looking at the distant mountains with a blank expression.

Seolhwa sighed in relief and quietly straightened the bent reed.

Perhaps, beneath this reed, there was a warrior named Ja-cheong.

Even though it was a mistake, I felt uneasy after cutting the lifeline like that.

The reed was straightened, and the fairy tale spoke in a small voice.

“I’m sorry, Sister, about the rabbit mask below. I didn’t do it on purpose.”

The pit shook slightly at her words.

Whether they were angry or embarrassed, their feelings didn’t matter to Seol-hwa.

I just stood in front of the next pit to dig, smiling awkwardly.

Then he unfolded the engagement sword.

phut!

At the same time as that sound, the ground where the sword of the broken soul had struck was sunk about a meter deep.

* * *

The first attack of the Pahon Sword that Seolhwa unleashed shook the earth.

Kurung.

It was as if the people around them could not help but feel it, as if it were the precursor to an earthquake.

The vibration was more intense than the sound.

Choa felt a vibration under her feet and raised her sword, looking around cautiously.

It was clear that something had happened to his men.

At that moment, the sound of a horn was heard in my ear.

Phew!

The sound of the horn was clearly that of one of the men.

The blowing of the horn was a crisis, but it was also a sign that the superior, Choa, was a capable enemy.

Choa breathed energy into the sword.

It is prepared to strike the opponent at any time.

Choa, with her sharp sword blade pointed forward, slowly walked towards where the sound of the horn was heard.

That was when.

An ominous voice was heard from somewhere.

“Once upon a time, a rice cake vendor crossed a mountain pass where tigers appeared… … .”

“hmm.”

Choa swallowed her sighs and tried to keep her presence as quiet as possible.

The situation was favorable at the moment.

He made a small noise, but he was hiding his presence.

I intended to cut off that unpleasant voice in one fell swoop.

Choa held her breath and walked towards where she heard the voice.

Then the voice was heard again.

“… … But unfortunately, he met a tiger. The tiger said, ‘If you give me a rice cake, I won’t eat you.’ What happened after that? That’s not the important part. The rice cake vendor’s biggest mistake was trying to cross the pass where the tiger was.”

“… … .”

Choa gritted her teeth without saying anything.

At some strange point, the direction of the voice changed.

Choa slowly changed direction again.

Swish.

Choa moved her feet as if the wind was blowing through the reeds.

That was when.

I felt a cool sensation below my ankles.

“omg.”

Choa quickly stepped back.

I looked down at my ankles and saw that someone had hung a long rope.

This was said to be an enemy trap.

Cho-ah drew her sword and cut down the Cheonjamsa blocking her way.

In front of Baek Kyung’s martial arts, Cheon Jam Sa was just an ordinary thread.

Crunch.

The tangled silk thread in front was split in two like a thread cut by an axe.

It was when Choa was smiling faintly.

An unpleasant ringing sound was heard in my ears.

Whoosh!

At that sound, Choa moved quickly.

A log passed by where she was lying.

“trap?”

This was clearly a trap set by a hunter.

However, it was important to note that the hunter’s target was not a wild beast.

Choa closed her eyes and raised her energy to its maximum.

One of the things I learned from the background was that our senses can be faster than our eyes.

It was said that a sage is someone who opens the eyes of the mind, not the eyes of the body.

I closed my eyes and raised my senses, and I could vaguely feel the traps around me.

Whoosh!

Another trap has arrived.

Judging from the lack of movement and lack of sound, it was clearly a simple trap.

Choa kicked the trap.

Bam!

The heavy log spun around and changed direction.

That was when.

I felt a stinging pain in my thigh.

Choa turned her head and looked at her thigh.

There was a small silver needle stuck in her thigh.

Choa didn’t understand.

I clearly shot down the flying trap, but where on earth did this silver needle come from?

If it was a secret weapon fired from somewhere, there was no way he wouldn’t notice it.

Just then another log flew towards her.

Whoosh!

Choa drew her sword horizontally.

Bam!

The log changed direction weakly.

That was when.

Choa saw a hand coming out from under the log that had changed direction.

The hand flew towards Choa.

In his outstretched hand he held a silver needle.

Whoosh!

Choa stepped back and extended her sword towards his hand.

stroke!

It was when Choa’s sword was about to touch her hand.

The hand quickly disappeared as if it had been pulled into Zara’s throat.

Only then did Choa realize how she had been attacked.

The opponent hid under a flying log and made a sneak attack.

Cho-ah, who realized the situation at that moment, quickly used her index finger to check the acupuncture point on her thigh.

Pick!

And then finally, he tied her thighs.

“You coward, you use poison!”

“Isn’t that similar to you guys? Who used blood poison first?”

An opponent wearing a rabbit mask appeared.

Of course, the opponent’s identity was Hanbin.

Choa couldn’t even guess who her opponent was.

“… … .”

“Don’t worry. I’ll try to save you no matter what happens.”

“… … .”

“Why aren’t you answering? I’ve already taken care of all your subordinates.”

“what?”

“I took care of it. They must have all become wolf food by now.”

“Who the hell are you?”

“I can only say that it is a secret.”

“hmm.”

Choa narrowed her eyes and looked at the other person.

The opponent was also wearing a rabbit mask like the warrior in the background.

After watching for a while, Choa continued speaking.

“How on earth are you wearing the same mask as me?”

“The original shape was a little different. I made it so that it was similar, but the rabbit ears were a little different in shape. But now that you’ve stolen the one your subordinate was using, you can see that it’s the same.”

“… … .”

Choa looked at the other person without saying anything.

The voice that seemed to be strangely scratching my insides sounded familiar.

To be exact, it was the tone of speech rather than the voice.

Choa’s eyes widened as she recalled the tone of voice.

“Have you seen me before?”

“where?”

“You, at Yurim Seowon… … Could it be you?”

“Do you think you’ve only seen it at Yulim Seowon? We must have seen it in other places too.”

“Did you see me somewhere else besides Yulim Seowon?”

Choa’s eyes trembled slightly.
