Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 76



Only Noblemtl

Episode 76. Unexpected Mission (2)

Hyeolhwa, who was chasing Hanbin, stopped in a thick pine forest.

This is the back mountain that blocks the Cheonsujang and the market street.

People called this mountain, which was only a hill that could be climbed in half a day, Songhwasan (松火山), which had the character for fire (火) in it, a meaningful name.

In fact, until just ten years ago, this place, covered with blue pine trees, was a landmark of the village.

Since some time ago, this place has been dyed red as if on fire, and because of that, the villagers called it a haunted mountain and were reluctant to go there.

The reason why the blood flower stopped moving for a moment was because of an unknown ominous feeling.

She looked at Songhwasan Mountain again. It seemed like it was blazing with flames.

This place was clearly cursed, just as the townspeople said.

Could it be because of the sunlight streaming through the red pine trees?

The pine needles sticking out like blazing flames looked like blood splattered on the rice paper.

After looking at the view of Songhwasan Mountain for a while, Hyeolhwa looked at his subordinate, Sipalho, who had approached him.

The middle-aged man called Shippalho had encountered Hanbin in Jeolhogok.

That’s why I decided to join this mission.

“Number 18, is this the right place?”

“Yes, Captain. I’ve definitely passed by here.”

“Eighteenth, lead the rest of the personnel and monitor the surrounding area. Never do anything rash, and just monitor. Got it?”

“Jeonmyeong!”

“Never kill!”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Sippahho disappeared from his seat with his eyes shining through his mask.

Sasa-sak.

Hyeolhwa slowly walked towards the entrance of Songhwasan Mountain.

For a moment, she stopped walking and recalled the urgent memories of the past two months.

Heukcheon thoroughly punished Madam Jeonghwa for deceiving him with false information.

During that time, there was never a day when the blood of the Blood Flower Sword dried.

It was only when the business trip led by Madame Jeonghwa was almost cut off that the sword of Heukcheon stopped.

After all the revenge was over, Heukcheon showed curiosity towards Hanbin.

Hanbin, the coward of Habukpengga, defeats Heukcheon’s special and super special assassins in succession?

And on top of that, you’ve cut off the breath of the legendary demon, the Thousand-Sal Blood Wolf?

This was an unsolvable mystery in Heukcheon.

Hyeolhwa received instructions before coming here.

First, reveal the identity of the youngest prince of the Habuk Peng family.

Second, embrace him.

Third, the duration of the mission is indefinite.

This was the order given by the master of Heukcheon.

In other words, the story was that if you fail to complete the mission, don’t come back.

In fact, the battle with Hanbin came before this mission.

After the Jeolhogok incident, Hyeolhwa woke up every night with a pain in his side.

The physical wounds healed, but the mental pain remained.

“Huh.”

Hyeolhwa sighed and touched his side.

Thinking back to that time, I felt like a bloody mess of ten thousand thoughts.

Hanbin, who could have ended his own life in an instant, sent it away.

And on top of that, it wasn’t a head-on fight, but rather a stealthy assassination attempt?

This was a huge stain on her, who was to inherit the Black Heaven.

Hyeolhwa, who had entered the middle of Songhwasan, lowered his head, picked up a handful of dirt, and held it to his nose.

“hmm.”

Hyeolhwa, who had been silent for a moment, looked around.

This was because the traces Hanbin left behind were becoming increasingly darker.

Just then, someone nearby spoke to me.

“What are you doing now?”

“oh.”

“Why are you sniffing other people’s urine?”

“What? It’s urine!”

When the blood flower was startled, he quickly threw the dirt on the ground.

At the same time, a faint shape appeared in her vision.

Red martial arts uniforms shimmering against the red backdrop of Songhwasan Mountain.

He was definitely Hanbin.

Hanbin approached me with a big smile.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a joke. I saw a wild boar just now excuse itself and leave.”

“Are you kidding me right now?”

“What are you so upset about? How have you been?”

“What are you doing now?”

Hyeolhwa, who had been retreating, pulled out his sword and shouted.

At that sight, Hanbin stopped walking and shrugged his shoulders.

“Are you saying that to me now? Should I say that you are talking about your in-laws after seeing this? Or is it more correct to say that the one who farted is angry?”

At Hanbin’s words, Hyeolhwa bit the inside of his cheek.

It was Hyeolhwa himself who had been secretly watching him. But at some point, the situation became reversed.

Moreover, Hanbin was laughing at Hyeolhwa without even drawing his sword.

Hyeolhwa looked at Hanbin again.

Hanbin stares at the blood without any expression, holding a begging bowl in his right hand.

He opened his mouth again.

“If you come to someone else’s area, shouldn’t you say hello before you leave?”

That’s true, but the bloodshot eyes that I didn’t want to admit crumpled my impression.

If the Black Heavenly Priests had seen this sight, they would have been shocked and fallen down.

Hyeolhwa was famous for not showing his emotions even in Heukcheon.

Another nickname for the blood flower was cold-blooded flower.

The nickname, “Hyeolhwa,” is a combination of the character “naeng” (冷), which means cold.

She wasn’t cool today.

The crumpled bloodshot face responded nervously as if it were an impression.

“That doesn’t sound like something someone who stole someone else’s stuff should say.”

“I jumped out?”

When Hanbin tilted his head, Hyeolhwa pointed to the begging bowl and continued speaking.

“Then what if it wasn’t thrown away? My begging bowl is right there.”

“Since when has Salsu crossed the open zone?”

Hanbin looked at the blood flower as if he was playing with it, rolling the iron coin in the begging bowl noisily.

She quickly collected her expression and continued speaking.

“Is there a law that says you can’t beg for money? You’re taking our livelihood away.”

When Hyeolhwa got angry, Hanbin waved his hand.

“Hey, let me be precise. I just found my money.”

“What does that mean?”

“Think about it. I’m not rich, so why would I throw silver coins to a beggar?”

“Then why did you throw the silver coin??”

“That was a mistake. What do you mean, throwing an iron coin and catching a silver coin?”

“Then why didn’t you just go get the money? Why did you run away with someone else’s money?”

“Even if it’s not sticky, it’s stuck to my hand and won’t come off. What do I do?”

Hanbin pointed to the begging bowl with a nod.

Hyeolhwa sighed at Hanbin’s natural and innocent excuse.

Hanbin’s words and his own words are equally nonsensical.

At that moment, Hanbin took out an iron coin from the begging bowl.

An ordinary iron fence, nothing special.

Hanbin narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the side of the iron fence.

Hanbin, looking at the iron gate, gradually raised the corners of his mouth.

After a while, Hanbin put the iron coin back into the begging bowl and spun it around.

Clang. Clang.

As the iron fist made a pleasant sound, Hyeolhwa felt relieved for a moment.

At that moment, Hanbin picked up a few pieces of iron and threw them.

Whoosh!

The blood flowed reflexively and the iron fist was caught.

widely!

She quickly stuffed a few coins into her bosom and shouted.

“Please give me the rest quickly!”

Hanbin smiled at that sight and continued speaking.

“It seems like Cheoljeon is talking to me.”

“… … .”

Hyeolhwa didn’t answer, but swallowed his saliva and waited for Hanbin to speak next.

“Is the aim of being ineffective considered to be above the peak?”

“omg!”

Hyeolhwa opened his eyes wide.

Because Hanbin seems to recognize Heukcheon’s secret language.

Clearly, this was information written on the iron plate.

At the end of the short elasticity, a blood clot formed.

“What does that mean?”

“It’s written there. Why are you pretending not to know?”

“What, what does it say?”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, Hanbin took out a few coins and examined them again.

Hanbin, who had been watching for a while, said.

“This is a little hard to read. Is this an order from the Master of Black Heaven?”

Hanbin, who had finished speaking, threw the iron ball again.

Whoosh!

widely!

Hyeolhwa snatched a coin out of thin air.

“phew.”

As she sighed, Hanbin snickered and continued speaking.

“You’re an easy girl to fool.”

“What is easy to deceive?”

Hyeolhwa’s eyelashes fluttered.

Water training I received from the age of five.

The most important of these was how to control one’s emotions.

But today, Hyeolhwa’s emotions were fluctuating.

Hanbin said after seeing her expression.

“How would I know what’s written on that iron plate? I just guessed.”

“… … .”

Hyeolhwa looked at Hanbin quietly.

There was no way to confirm whether Hanbin’s words were true.

Even if it was true, I couldn’t believe it, and even if it was a lie, I couldn’t accept it as is.

Hyeolhwa decided that this was clearly a game of self-deception.

Hyeolhwa shook his shoulders in anger.

At the same time she drew her sword.

Srrrrung!

Hyeolhwa secretly stored his internal energy in his toes.

One, two… … .

Hyeolhwa, who was watching the situation, exploded with the internal energy stored in his toes.

In an instant her body leapt forward.

Papak!

Her sword, held straight up, flew towards Hanbin’s neck.

Whoosh!

Her sword flew through space in the blink of an eye and got stuck somewhere.

Hyeolhwa opened his eyes wide and looked at the tip of his sword.

Chaenggrang.

What his sword pierced was a begging bowl.

The iron coin in the begging bowl hanging from the end of the sword rang like a bell.

Hyeolhwa looked around anxiously, but couldn’t find any trace of Hanbin.

Only then did she realize her mistake.

An exquisite harmony of red uniforms and Songhwasan Mountain.

It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In comparison, his own uniform is black.

In the red pine forest, this uniform stood out too much.

In other words, it is not a fair match.

Moreover, the lightness that Hanbin was showing just now was incomparable to the level of skill he had in Jeolhogok.

After the Jeolho Valley incident, Hanbin was taught the Eighteen Steps of Begging, so his level of lightness increased several times.

Hyeolhwa, who was unaware of this fact, couldn’t help but be flustered.

At that moment, Hanbin in red military uniform appeared from afar.

“Wow, it’s so brutal!”

Hanbin’s expression looked calm, as if he had come out to drink in the next town.

On the contrary, Hyeolhwa’s face changed from red to blue. But that was only for a moment, and Hyeolhwa, who had regained control of his emotions, asked in a low voice.

“What is your identity?”

“Me? You’re not really asking because you don’t know, are you?”

“It’s true that I’m asking because I don’t know.”

“He is the youngest prince of the Habuk Peng family.”

“Not that. The youngest prince of the Habuk Peng family uses his sword like that? Where on earth did he learn such swordsmanship? From what I’ve investigated, none of the guests of the Habuk Peng family have ever used such swordsmanship.”

Even while his life was on the line, Hyeolhwa tried to extract information.

However, Hanbin answered with a cold expression.

“Let’s just say I learned it on the street.”

“That aside, what is that vibe you have?”

“Why are you suddenly talking about the atmosphere?”

“That’s because you smell just like us.”

“Smell? I took a bath today.”

When Hanbin lifted his sleeve and pretended to sniff, Hyeonhwa narrowed his brows.

“I’m not talking about that smell. I just sense a strangely strong scent of blood coming from you. Tell me honestly. What organization are you from?”

“Oh, how stupid!”

“What do you mean, stupid?”

“If you were me, would you be able to easily name the organization you belong to? You’re not stupid.”

“… … .”

Hyeolhwa looked at Hanbin again without saying a word.

All of that is true, but seeing Hanbin’s smiling face made me feel angry.

Besides, Hanbin kept calling Hyeolhwa an idiot.

She was even more upset because she had never been treated like this before.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“Shall we make a bet?”

“A bet?”

The blood flower showed curiosity.
