Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 674



Only Noblemtl

674. Baekcheokgandu (4)

“Come down. I’ll finish off a roast rabbit.”

This was Hanbin’s provocation.

This time, Hanbin’s provocation worked, as the rabbit mask shrugged its shoulders slightly.

Naturally, the lips hidden behind the rabbit mask seemed to be twitching.

The rabbit mask, which had been staring at him for a long time, shouted with all its might.

“The one who rescues you will not come!”

“There is a saying in the Gangho region that goes like this… … .”

As Hanbin trailed off and chuckled, the shoulders of the rabbit mask trembled again.

“That’s a proverb?”

“Still, you’re still curious, aren’t you?”

“… … .”

The shoulders of the rabbit mask began to tremble more and more.

The expression on the other side of the mask was so obvious that I didn’t even have to look.

At that sight, Hanbin continued speaking.

“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘The one who survives is the truly strong one?’”

“Huh, so that was your plan to buy time. Do you think I would fall for such a showdown?”

“It’s not a fight, I’m giving you a chance to run away.”

“You gave us a chance to escape? Even a rat caught in a trap has its mouth alive. That proverb is exactly right.”

“A hunter who is afraid of a rat caught in a trap… … . How disappointing.”

“We are afraid of you?”

“So you’re just talking there. But what can you do? You didn’t see the trap I set… … . Tsk tsk.”

As Hanbin clicked his tongue, the head of the rabbit mask immediately responded.

“Did you just say it was a trap? No matter how hard I look, I can’t see the trap.”

“You didn’t wash your eyes enough.”

Hanbin fought back.

As the intensity of the opponent’s provocation grew stronger, Su-woon, who was next to him, opened his eyes wide.

He didn’t understand the situation.

Sending a rescue request and then provoking the opponent?

If you had sent a rescue request, it would have been right to reassure the enemy and hold out.

But now, Hanbin looked like someone who was anxious and couldn’t die.

Su-un looked around.

Everyone was looking upwards in tension.

It felt like they were about to clash at any moment.

Su-un didn’t understand this atmosphere.

Now was not the time to confront them.

It was best to just hold on and hang in there.

As Su-woon looked around with eyes full of suspicion, Mu-young came into view.

Looking at his back, he seemed to be observing the situation with a calm gaze like a monk who had attained enlightenment.

At that moment, the thought of him being Ilji Daesa’s teacher popped into Su-woon’s mind.

How strong would he be if he were the master of the first of the three masters of martial arts?

Su-un spoke to him cautiously.

“Ambassador Muyeong!”

“Did you call me?”

Muyeong turned his head.

In that moment, Su-woon’s eyes widened.

The calm gaze was Su-woon’s illusion.

He had a sleepy look on his face and an annoyed expression.

It wasn’t a feeling, it was a real feeling of waking up from sleep.

Su-un asked cautiously.

“If you are the master of Ilji Daesa, you must be strong in martial arts as well, right?”

“You call that talking?”

“Then please help me quickly.”

“What do you want me to help you with?”

“Please kill the enemies over there and open the passage.”

“Do I look fresh to you?”

“What do you mean?”

“Do I look like a fairy who can fly in the sky riding on a cloud?”

“That’s not it, but… … isn’t there something called walking in the air?”

“So have you ever seen a walking stick?”

“… … .”

Su-woon could only blink his eyes and was unable to answer.

Even in the world’s best sect, the Shamanist sect, the technique of empty stepping has never been seen.

Of course, I’ve seen similar behavior.

The movement of soaring as if stepping on empty space was also present in the Wudangpa’s Yuunshinbo.

But if you look at the essence, it is different from walking in vain.

A spacewalker must be able to change direction in the air.

The principle of walking in the air is to spread a curtain in the air and step on it to climb up.

The story was that it was possible only if the structure could support a person’s weight.

It’s easy to say, but even the best of the best have never made progress in vain.

Muyeong continued speaking.

“Actually, the problem isn’t the empty space. It’s hard for anyone to break that formation.”

“Did you say it was a true law?”

“Look carefully. There’s a delicate mix of machinery and formations there. If they were to make a move, we probably wouldn’t be able to get out of here.”

Muyeong pointed around.

As he said, the only way out of here was through the rabbit mask warrior.

Or else you could jump off a thousand foot cliff.

Su-un asked.

“So, do we have to wait until we die?”

“Well, shouldn’t you be responsible for dragging us here?”

“Why, why should I take responsibility?”

“Aren’t you the one who knows shamans best?”

“… … .”

Su-un chewed his lips.

Su-woon thought he knew shamans well, but today he realized that wasn’t the case.

What was more disconcerting was not the fact that he was being attacked by an unknown enemy, but the fact that he did not know his own sect.

But now was not the time to worry about that.

Su-woon looked at Mu-young again.

“Then how can I get out of here?”

“I have to trust that kid, what can I do?”

“No matter how much I look at it, I can’t believe it… … .”

Su-un trailed off.

Because I felt someone watching me from the side.

It was none other than Hanbin’s gaze.

Hanbin narrowed his eyes and glared at Suwoon.

“Do you not trust me, Master?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I just don’t think provoking the enemy’s feelings is a good choice.”

“If we don’t do it this way, we won’t be able to sweep it all away at once.”

“How can you sweep it all away?”

“That’s still a secret.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin glanced upward.

Su-woon’s eyes widened at that sight.

Because Hanbin’s provocations have begun again.

Hanbin’s appearance as he shouted at the enemy looked like that of a person who was desperate because he couldn’t die.

Hanbin shouted at the rabbit mask.

“I said, come in!”

“… … .”

The rabbit mask shook its shoulders silently.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he shouted.

“Everyone, show yourselves!”

At the same time, another jarring sound was heard from the floor.

Giggle. Giggle.

Hanbin looked at it quietly.

The sound was coming from the area where objects such as tables and pot lids were still attached to the floor of the pavilion.

The objects began to shake more and more, and then the floor opened up completely like an incense burner had opened before.

There wasn’t just one secret passage in the palace.

The passage opened and warriors wearing rabbit masks popped their heads out.

All eyes of the rabbit mask that had popped its head out were focused on Hanbin.

It would be more accurate to say that this is a desperate situation.

Hanbin and his group are hanging on by a thin thread.

It was clear as day that if I moved just one finger, I would fall down a thousand-foot cliff.

But Hanbin nonchalantly pointed to the warriors wearing rabbit masks with his index finger.

“One, two, three… … .”

Hanbin, who had counted to five, burst into laughter.

“Tch, this is amazing. You’re going to catch me to that extent? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it. I clearly heard that you received a confession from a girl named Cho-ah earlier. You came to catch me to that extent… … . No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it!”

Hanbin shook his head.

For a moment, the shoulders of the rabbit masked man, who seemed to be the leader, shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

The rabbit mask raised its right hand as if it couldn’t stand it anymore.

At the same time, arrows shot out one by one from different passages.

They put in the arrows and pulled the trigger.

Of course, their arrowheads were all pointed at Hanbin.

Su-woon, who was next to him, pulled Han-bin’s sleeve.

It was an unspoken advice as to why he was being so provocative.

But Hanbin smiled brightly while looking at Suwoon.

“Master, no matter what happens, you must not let go of this string.”

“What do you mean? Weren’t we all supposed to die before then?”

“Don’t worry about their attacks and don’t let go of this string.”

“No, what is that… … .”

Before Su-woon could finish speaking, Han-bin flew into the air.

Hanbin, who was walking on the perpendicular floor, shot out a dagger.

Whoosh.

The dagger of silence was none other than the full moon.

A dagger that is a sacred object of Haomen and one of the Seven Great Treasures.

The dagger flew towards the rabbit mask, creating a piercing sound.

Phew.

The surprised rabbit mask quickly hid the new shape.

The full moon passed through the space where the rabbit mask of the chief was and lodged itself above.

At that moment, Hanbin unleashed the Yongrin Sword Technique.

‘Lightning strike.’

‘Begging is the 18 steps.’

Hanbin flew into the air.

Of course, it wasn’t really a walk in the park.

It only appeared that way to other people.

The one who supported Hanbin and Manwol was Cheonjamsa.

Thanks to Cheonjamsa, Hanbin was able to move freely.

The silk quilt Hanbin used was thinner than the silk quilts used by the others, so it looked like it was cutting through the air.

The most surprising thing was Su-un.

This is because the sight of Hanbin, who was performing a feat that even Muyeong thought was impossible, was amazing.

“Ah, Ambassador! What happened? How can that small thief perform the empty-air step that even our Taegeuk Sword Master cannot perform?”

“It’s not like I’m just walking around in thin air. Shh.”

“You said that wasn’t a walk in the air, Ambassador?”

“It’s just a catch. But if it looks that way to the enemy, that’s enough. Since it looks that way to you, it seems like that kid’s plan worked.”

“What is the plan, Ambassador?”

“I don’t know that either.”

Muyeong shook his head quietly.

The surroundings began to murmur at Hanbin’s sudden, empty steps.

Of course, the same goes for the rabbit mask.

The surprised rabbit mask cried out.

“That, that’s just walking in the air… … Everyone, be careful!”

“You’re late!”

Hanbin shouted briefly and flew towards the head of the rabbit mask.

At the same time, Hanbin pulled out Wol-ah.

Sling.

The sight of Hanbin moving along a perpendicular wall as if it were flat ground was incredibly strange.

It seemed like Hanbin was performing a walk in the air that even Muyeong said was impossible.

The distance to the rabbit mask is only three steps.

Hanbin narrowed his eyes and counted the numbers.

two.

one!

At the same time, Hanbin quickly changed direction.

The people around Hanbin tilted their heads at the sudden retreat.

For a moment, they could see why Hanbin had stepped down.

Hundreds of silver needles poured out around the passageway Hanbin was heading towards.

Fish.

Fish.

If I had to compare it to martial arts, it would be similar to Mancheonhwawoo of Sacheondangga.

Each and every one of them gave off a terrible smell.

Judging from the fact that it poked his nose even when passing by from a distance, it was clear that the poison was in his stomach.

The rabbit mask said with a smile.

“I heard you’re an expert at poisoning. How does it feel to be hit by your most confident method?”

“It’s quite a fragrant silver needle.”

“He still has a mouth. Everyone, shoot at him!”

At the shout of the rabbit mask leader, arrows flew from various passageways.

Phew.

Not only arrows but also dark weapons came flying.

Fish.

Looking at the current scene, it seemed like a siege.

But it wasn’t enough to hit Hanbin.

Even though he was relying on Cheonjamsa, it was difficult to follow Hanbin’s eighteen begging steps even with his eyes.

Hanbin dodged their attacks with lightning speed.

While avoiding their attacks, Hanbin continued to provoke them.
