Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 716



Only Noblemtl

716. Black Moon (1)

Where the dust had cleared, two unmanned men were locked in battle with their swords.

Giggle.

Quite.

A situation where the two swords are clashing violently and making a loud cracking sound.

One side was Hanbin, and the other side was a woman wearing black cotton.

Yang Ye-shin flinched when she saw that sight.

Because I had no idea who Hanbin’s opponent was.

What if the opponent who crossed swords with Hanbin was someone from the palace?

Or what if Hanbin misunderstood?

Princess Hyomyeong’s life could have been in danger.

Other martial artists might not have known, but Yang Ye-shin was from the Shin Chang Yang family, which was between the government and the martial arts world, so he couldn’t make a decision.

That was when.

Hanbin snapped his fingers.

Exactly.

“Hey, come to your senses!”

Only then did Yang Ye-shin look around.

Two giant men started to rush at Hanbin, aiming for his back.

First thing was to stop the two giants.

Yang Ye-shin quickly extended his spear.

The thrown spear flew towards the giant.

Yang Ye-shin ran after the window.

The monster saw the flying spear and stretched out his hand.

phut!

The blade struck the giant’s hand and flew out.

Yang Ye-shin grabbed the end of the spear that was bouncing off and turned it.

humming.

The spear flew in a circle towards the giant monster.

The giant monster deflected the spear again.

phut!

Yang Ye-shin tilted her head.

Because the momentum now was completely different from when he was lightly carrying the carriage.

I glanced to the side and saw that Akbigwang was also continuing his fight with the monster.

Based on the previous momentum, the monster was clearly one step ahead of the current one.

But how did they end up fighting as equals?

It must have been disadvantageous for them when they were holding the carriage, but no matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like their martial arts skills were lowered when they put the carriage down.

That was when.

The monster’s hand flew out.

Bam!

This time, Yang Ye-shin blocked his hand with a spear.

Yang Ye-shin stepped back, clenching and unclenching his fist.

His hands were cold as if he was blocking a crowbar, perhaps because of the gloves the monster was wearing.

Although they had gained momentum, they were by no means an opponent to be underestimated.

Yang Ye-shin quickly fixed the window.

While they were dealing with the monster, Hanbin whispered in a low voice.

“You’re quite the imitator.”

“You have a good eye, Jinryongsohyeop.”

“You must be the enemy if you know my nickname.”

“Enemy? Why are you so determined?”

“Because no one among my allies has ever called me by the nickname Jinryongsohyeop!”

“You won’t be treated well in the political arena. Then please come over.”

“Shouldn’t you know who it is before you can cross over?”

“I’m sorry I have to tell you my identity only after you come across. Haha.”

Hanbin smiled at the sight of the woman laughing.

Hanbin knew that his opponent had martial arts skills comparable to those of the ten greatest martial artists in the world.

As evidence, the traces of the heavenly seal that had been visible to the giant monsters were transferred to her.

Why did the Heavenly Seal that was on the monsters disappear and appear on her instead?

The reason was that the Heavenly Level Gujeol moved according to the internal energy.

It was clear that he had somehow transmitted his internal energy to the monsters holding the carriage.

As a result of the string being cut, the monsters’ powers were noticeably weakened.

Perhaps this kind of reasoning would have been impossible if I hadn’t seen the traces of the knot on the woman.

Only Hanbin could figure out the relationship between the woman and the monster.

The woman asked.

“How did you know I wasn’t Hyo-myeong?”

“It’s a secret… … If you’re curious, give me ten thousand nyang.”

Hanbin smiled and looked somewhere.

That was the direction that the root cause was pointing to.

The root cause was still pointing to where Hyomyeong was.

The distance is roughly two hundred steps.

It meant that Hyo-myeong was two hundred steps behind.

The sign pointing to the source was on the side where the carriage was.

However, while fighting them, their location changed about two hundred steps away.

The story that no signs were noticed during the showdown meant that the kidnapped Princess Hyomyeong and her party were underground, not above ground.

It was unclear whether two hundred paces from here was the final destination or a passageway.

The important thing was to knock down the woman in front of him and open the entrance.

Then the woman pushed Hanbin.

Bam!

The gap is two steps.

It was a range where you could aim for your opponent’s nape by extending your sword.

But I couldn’t just cut off his breathing.

Before that, I had to get a seal too.

Hanbin stepped back and searched through his arms.

As Hanbin searched through her arms, the masked woman quickly took another step back.

Judging from his actions, he didn’t look like he was trying to run away.

Strangely enough, the masked woman never stayed more than a certain distance away from Hanbin.

What Hanbin took out from his bosom was a bamboo tube.

Hanbin threw the bamboo tube high into the sky.

Then he raised his hands.

Whoosh!

A ray of light extended from Hanbin’s hand.

It was the silver needle that Hanbin carried around.

The silver needle was stuck in a bamboo tube floating in the air.

For a moment the bamboo tube shook and burst in midair.

phut!

At the same time, the flames came down.

The masked woman who saw the flames spoke in an ominous voice.

“If reinforcements come, Hyomyeong’s life will be lost.”

“Reinforcements won’t come. The signal I sent was to stop anyone heading here.”

“What is that… … .”

“Probably, for the time being, no one will come in… … or leave.”

Hanbin laughed at the masked woman.

At the same time, Hanbin examined her thoroughly.

Hanbin’s eyes, which examined every corner of the body, were filled with firm determination.

The masked woman, who had been confident until now, covered her body as if she was uncomfortable.

Despite that appearance, Hanbin kept his gaze fixed on the woman.

Because the traces of the thousand-level siege continued to move.

That wasn’t all.

Other colored beads were also noticeable.

These were payment terms that had not been seen for a while.

Hanbin was determined to gather all the necessary funds to pay the debt.

In fact, although the Cheon-geup Gu-gyeol was highly useful, it had its own problems.

The point was that it used a lot of air power or energy at once.

In comparison, payment orders or salary orders had fewer such restrictions.

The most important thing is to benefit everyone.

The more grassroots there are, the better, is an unchanging truth.

Not only was the level of the enemy high, but I was also curious about the identity of the enemy who had various levels of the enemy, from the human level to the thousandth level.

Of course, I planned to ask about his identity after I had taken all the evidence.

In that sense, Hanbin instructed the Red Blood Tiger Corps that followed him to spread their nets here.

It was impossible to spread the net of heaven and earth with a small number of people in the first place.

But the Red Blood Tigers had a secret weapon.

It was the existence of the Gosanpa.

If the Gosanpa masters can easily deploy illusions and formations, they can perfectly surround this place even with a small number of people.

To exaggerate a little, it was possible to spread a net so tight that not even a single fly could escape.

Now the roles of the pursuer and the pursued have been reversed.

Of course, the masked woman didn’t seem to think so.

The masked woman’s eyes showed the confidence that she could take down Hanbin at any time.

However, I felt like they were taking their time.

Hanbin opened his mouth with a big smile.

“Shall we have a go?”

“How about doing the math before you get started?”

“What kind of calculation are you talking about?”

“You didn’t come here to find Hyo-myeong, did you? If you came here to find the hostage, wouldn’t negotiation come before fighting?”

“Negotiation… … It’s not impossible. What do you want?”

“Hyunbi’s neck!”

The masked woman’s eyes seemed to burn brightly.

Hanbin answered nonchalantly.

“Oh, the added weight is tilted too much to one side.”

“Why do you think it’s tilted?”

“If you have one more child, isn’t that enough? You’re asking me to sacrifice my life in exchange for my child’s life.”

“You say it too easily.”

“Because I’m not a party to the matter.”

“If Hyeonbi doesn’t come on time, Hyo-myeong’s life will be lost.”

“Then why didn’t you just kidnap Queen Hyunbi instead?”

“That would be too much trouble.”

“Well, I’ll discuss that with Lady Hyeonbi later, but I have urgent business to take care of first.”

Hanbin stabbed her right after she finished speaking.

It was a method that spread lightning to extremes.

Swish. Swish.

The masked woman seemed slightly embarrassed and hurriedly raised her sword.

That’s understandable, because he needed to talk to get what he wanted.

I thought that any kind of conversation was possible since I had Hyomyeong as a hostage.

However, the person who had been chasing him showed no intention of talking.

This was what the masked woman found most disconcerting.

Does it make sense that you chased the kidnapper but aren’t curious about Hyomyeong’s whereabouts?

Looking at it now, it seemed like no words could make sense.

Looking at the opponent’s sword, it wasn’t an attempt to subdue him.

No, it wasn’t the current actions, but something felt strange from the moment the carriage was torn to pieces.

The opponent was not someone you would easily find in the world of martial arts.

In a word, he was crazy.

The masked woman’s temples twitched.

The masked woman’s name is Heukwol (黑月).

What she wanted, to be exact, was not Hyun-bi’s neck.

It was Hyunbi’s belongings.

But it was impossible to meet Hyeonbi and receive the item.

So, as a second best option, they kidnapped Hyomyeong.

The reason she called him Hyomyeong so comfortably was because the blood of the royal family flowed through Heukwol’s body.

The reason Black Moon left the palace was simple.

It was because of his mother’s death.

Her mother was a consumer.

Sobi passed away when Heukwol was ten years old.

It was right after Hyomyeong was born.

It was from that moment that I felt my life was in danger.

I thought that since I wasn’t born a man, I had nothing to do with the imperial power struggle.

But the reality was different.

At some point, danger began to fall upon Black Moon.

Didn’t the vase fall from the top of the pavilion?

Are you walking in the backyard of the palace when an arrow flies at you?

Incomprehensible things happened.

Immediately after his mother passed away, there was no one in the palace to guard Heukwol.

Then someone reached out to her.

The one who reached out was none other than Hwang Suk, who was said to have disappeared from the world.

It was only later that I learned that Hwang Suk was called Amje by someone in Gangho.

The Dark Emperor promised to give Heukwol the power of the imperial palace register.

It was clear that if I could gain all the power of the inner court, I would be able to avenge my mother.

To gain the right to possess that power, he trained for seven years without even seeing sunlight in a place designated by the Dark Emperor.

Even when his flesh was cut and his bones were scraped away, he did not groan once and focused only on training.

Thanks to that training, Black Moon gained strength.

After finishing her training, she went out to find the dark master.

It was to receive what was promised.

But the dark magician disappeared from the world.

What’s even more absurd is that all of the assets were stolen.

Among those properties was the Black Moon’s share.

Fortunately, there were still a few treasures left in a secret vault in a hidden location.

The greatest of the treasures was a book containing the plans left behind by the Dark Emperor.

According to the book, the dark emperor had two major plans.

One was to take control of the Central Plains.

And the other one was to eliminate the central plains.

I later learned that the plan to take control of the Central Plains had fallen through.

The Wei clan, which played the most important role in obtaining the Central Plains, was disintegrated.

Now, the latter was what remained.

To run the latter, one key was needed.

The key was in none other than Hyunbi’s hand.
