Episode 144: The Rat in the Poison

The day has dawned.

At the beginning of the Sisi period, the gate of Pyeongcheon Sangdan opened and two men entered the inner garden.

It was Ho-ok-cheong, the head of the Yin-pung-ma family, and his bodyguard, Cho-woo.

The servant who was sweeping the yard early in the morning tilted his head and asked.

“How did you come here?”

“The Ten-Shot Blood Guest, Wang Jeong, has come to meet him.”

“Who should I tell you?”

“Tell them that I am the host of the uninvited guest last night.”

“……?”

Although he did not know what he was talking about, the servant thought that he should first inform the master that a guest had arrived.

“First, I will take you to the reception room. Please follow me.”

A while later, Ho-ok-cheong and his escort, Chow-woo, arrived at the reception room and sat on chairs waiting for Gu-hui.

The servant went straight to Jangju and reported that someone had come to the king.

I wondered who it was, so I went to the reception room where the top was located.

Wiagon’s eyes widened as he saw Ho-ok-cheong’s face sitting in the guest room.

‘Huh! Isn’t that the author of the Yin-Pung-Ma-Ga? Why is the author looking for the King Dae-Hyeop?’

Wiagon nodded to Ho-ok-cheong, who was staring at him.

“Oh, nice to meet you…. My name is Wihagon, the head of Pyeongcheon Sangdan.”

Ho-ok-cheong’s eyebrows furrowed.

“I don’t care about you. I came to see the king.”

“The servant will bring the King Daehyeop soon. Please wait a moment….”

After saying that, Wigon bowed and left the place.

A little later, Gu-Hui arrived at the reception room.

Gu-hui, who was sitting on a chair with the table in the middle, turned his gaze to the black-clothed man wearing a mask, Cho-woo.

“See you again.”

Chow coughed in vain.

Ho-ok-cheong said as he took the lottery ticket.

“Nice to meet you. I am Ho-ok-cheong, the master of the supernatural world and the head of the Yin-pung-ma family.”

Gu Hui-do also took the lottery.

“Nice to meet you. But, why do you want to come to me?”

“There’s something I need to point out before that.”

“Tell me.”

Ho-ok-cheong’s finger pointed to Cho-woo’s severed ear. It was bandaged.

“Even if you entered a room without permission, isn’t that too much? Cutting off someone’s ear.”

Gu-Hui made a face that said he didn’t understand.

“That’s strange. Shouldn’t you be thanking me instead?”

“What does that mean?”

“Even though he came into my room without permission, I saved his life. I even gave him a chance to just leave. But he ignored my warning and tried to take me out using the name of the Eumpungma family. At that level, I have nothing to say even if I die. Since I only cut off his ear, shouldn’t he be grateful to me?”

Ho-ok-cheong burst into laughter.

‘He’s crazy… .’

Ho-ok-cheong changed the subject, thinking that he was someone who didn’t understand common sense.

“Ahem, I won’t talk about last night any more. Let’s get to the point.”

“Speak.”

“Actually, the reason I came to you was to make a proposal.”

“proposal?”

“Four days later, you will know who you will meet in the quarterfinals of the Gyeongcheon Grand Championship.”

“I don’t know.”

Gu-Hwi had not yet heard information about his next opponent from Pyeongcheon Sangdanju. He was not particularly interested, so he did not bother to ask.

Ho-ok-cheong let out a hollow laugh.

“Does that make sense? You don’t even know who your next opponent is?”

“Who are you?”

“You are the Lord of the Dark Spirits, Hocheonak. You are the head of the Dark Spirits family and my father.”

Since you mentioned your father’s name, it would be normal for you to be really scared.

But the bastard’s expression didn’t change.

“so?”

“My father’s goal is the semifinals. He doesn’t want to waste unnecessary energy in the process. And through Black Market, he has bet a lot of money that my father will win the quarterfinals. So I’m going to make you an offer. Give up this match.”

“Are you telling me to abstain?”

“Yes. If you forfeit, the Lord of Gaju can advance to the semifinals without fighting. If you accept this offer, I will give you 40% of the money I won from the black market.”

Gu-Hui asked.

“Is that your father’s will?”

“Yes. I came here to deliver the message on my father’s behalf.”

“What if I don’t accept the offer?”

Ho-ok-cheong said with cold eyes.

“You will regret it.”

“Why? Are you thinking of using force?”

“During the Gyeongcheon Great Battle, it is forbidden to use force on the players. If you touch the players without permission, the Lord will not stay still. However.”

Ho-ok-cheong, who had been silent for a moment, continued speaking.

“There will be no problems after the game is over. Haha.”

It meant that once the game was over, then they would take revenge.

As Gu-Hui remained silent, Ho-Ok-Cheong took advantage of the momentum and pressured him psychologically.

“If you reject the master’s offer, you and this entire Pyeongcheon Sangdan will not be able to avoid great trouble.”

Now it was Ho-ok-cheong who was openly threatening.

Ho-ok-cheong naturally thought that Gu-hui would lose his spirit and give up the match.

It can’t be helped.

The Eumpungma is one of the ten forces that support the Gyeongcheonmaseong.

Turning the Yin-Pung-Ma-Ga into an enemy was the same as turning the entire Gyeongcheon-Sip-Ga and Gyeongcheon-Ma-Seong into an enemy.

If that happened, I would never be able to leave this tent alive.

It is impossible to refuse the offer of the Eumpungma without going crazy.

Ho-ok-cheong with an arrogant expression.

Gu-Hui answered with an indifferent expression.

“I decline your offer.”

“what…?”

“Ah, if I meet the head of the Eumpungma family and talk to him in person, my mind might change. I want to meet your father.”

Gu-Hui plans to meet the head of the Eumpungma family in person and talk to him.

If Gaju also thinks the same as Ho-ok-cheong, then I will not forgive him.

If we just let this go now, the Pyeongcheon Sangdan could be damaged later by the Yin-Pung-Ma-Ga.

So I plan to meet the owner in person and resolve this issue for sure.

Ho-ok-cheong was at a loss.

You want to come in directly to my limbs?

If he ever met his father, he would be completely subdued.

‘It turned out well, actually.’

“Good. I will introduce you to the master.”

“I want to meet you right now.”

“Okay, let’s go now.”

Gu Hui and Ho Ok-cheong got up from their seats. They left Pyeongcheon Sangdan.

A cold chill formed in Gu-hui’s eyes as he followed Ho-ok-cheong, then disappeared.

* * *

Pyeongcheon Sangdanju Wihagon told Baek Su-ryeon that Ho-ok-cheong had come to visit.

Baek Su-ryeon went straight to the reception room, but Gu Hui and Ho Ok-cheong had already headed to the Eumpungma House.

Baek Su-ryeon asked Wi-gon.

“You said it was the Sogaju of the Eumpungma family, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Why did he come to see the King?”

“Um… I don’t know. But I have a guess….”

“What is it?”

“I suspect that there is a match-fixing suggestion. As you know, Wang Daehyeop’s next opponent is the head of the Yin-Pung-Ma family, Yin-Hon-Ma-Gun Ho-Cheon-Ak. The fact that the head of the Yin-Pung-Ma family came to see his father’s opponent, Wang Daehyeop, right before the match… could be a suggestion to forfeit.”

“How can someone as big as the head of the Eumpungma family make such a suggestion?”

“I guess you want to take it easy.”

“Hmm… I don’t think King Daehyeop will accept that offer….”

“That’s right. But the servants say that Wang Daehyeop and Ho Okcheong left the company together.”

“Together? Where do you want to go?”

“well….”

Baek Su-ryeon was worried.

Perhaps, a fight will break out between Gu-Hwi and Eum-Pung-Ma.

If Gu-Hui won the fight, Gyeongcheonma-Seong would not stay still.

I really hoped things would work out smoothly.

The place that Gu-hui arrived at following Ho-ok-cheong was a forest three li away from Eum-pung-ma-ga.

The reason I came here was because the head of the Eumpungma family was hunting.

The head of the Eumpungma family, Eumhonmagun Hocheonak, stands holding a bow.

There were three hundred unmanned soldiers lined up around him.

Their true identity was the Wind Spirit Killing Group, the direct bodyguard of the head of the household.

On one side, twenty villagers who had not learned martial arts were trembling with frightened faces.

And a few dozen pages away, seven corpses lay strewn across the ground.

Gu Hui grasped the situation at a glance.

The Yin Honma Army was hunting people who had not learned martial arts.

He was a demon who found more joy in hunting people than animals.

Ho-ok-cheong showed his respect and spoke to the Eum-hon-ma-gun.

“Father, the Ten-Year Blood Guest Wang Jeong has brought me here to see you.”

The evil spirit’s gaze was directed towards Gu-Hui, who was only three chapters away.

The evil spirit thought that Gu-Hui had come to look good to him.

“Thank you for accepting my offer.”

Gu-Hui tilted his head.

“I never said I accepted the offer.”

“…What do you mean?”

“I have come to ask you something.”

“Tell me.”

“What will you do if I don’t accept your offer?”

The evil spirit said with a sinister look in his eyes.

“You must have heard it from my son. Surely he doesn’t want to turn the Gyeongcheon Shipga into his enemies.”

“Well… you thought the same as your son. Then I guess I can’t just let it go.”

Goo-Hwi decided that if they were going to come after him later anyway, it would be better to resolve the matter now.

The spirit demon asked in a cold tone.

“Don’t do anything you’ll regret. I could kill you right now. I’m just trying to talk things out, so take the chance when I give you the chance.”

Gu Hui sneered.

“It’s funny. You never know who’s giving who a chance.”

A gleam of light appeared in the eyes of the evil spirit.

“Are you… going to reject the offer?”

“then?”

“You chose to be punished anyway… How stupid!”

The evil spirits had no choice but to kill and destroy Gu-Hui.

The dead don’t speak. I plan to dismember his body and bury it in the mountains.

“Punghonsaldan, tear that bastard’s limbs off right now!”

The three hundred warriors of the Punghonsaldan, consisting of the most elite warriors, rushed toward Gu Hui.

– Pavabavabat!

Their spears rained down, aiming for Gu-hui’s body.

A dark blue light appeared on Gu Hui’s forehead. He shook his head.

Jincheon Bombing Site

The torrent of water spread out in all directions, destroying three hundred bodies at once.

– Pfft …

Pieces of flesh flew into the air, and blood rained down.

– Swish…

The earth was soaked with flesh and blood.

The mouths of Yin Honma-kun, Ho-ok-cheong, and his escort, Chow-woo, opened wide.

“I, I…!”

“What is that…?”

“omg….”

They doubted their eyes.

Gu-Hui’s gaze, covered in blood all over his body, turned to the three. Gu-Hui’s steps slowly moved towards them.

As the distance narrowed, Chou blocked the path. Chou’s sword aimed for Gu Hui’s neck.

– Shhh!

Gu Hui’s superior caught the blade.

– Thud!

After splitting it in half, he stabbed the sword into the side of Chow’s neck.

– Shh! Crunch!

The body of Chou, who had died with his eyes wide open, collapsed to the side.

Ho-ok-cheong is terrified.

“Eek…!”

Right now, being a father and everything else didn’t matter to him.

Instinctively, to survive, he kicked the ground and unleashed his divine magic with all his might. His new form shot out toward the forest.

– Pot! Pavabat!

Gu-Hui, who saw that, slowly picked up the bow that had fallen to the ground. Then, he placed an arrow on the bowstring, pulled it back, and shot it.

– Thud! Shuaaaaak!!

Ho-ok-cheong, who heard the news, hurriedly bent down.

An arrow passed through his hair.

Ho-ok-cheong looks relieved with a pale face.

But at that moment.

– Wedge! Crunch!!

The arrow turned and entered the back of Ho-ok-cheong’s neck.

He fell face down on the floor, his body stricken.

When Gu Hui cast the power of soul destruction, the souls of the three hundred people and Ho-ok-cheong were destroyed. The soul energy was absorbed into Gu Hui’s body.

The Eumhonma Army, who had been blank-faced, couldn’t help but be astonished at the archery skills displayed by Gu Hui.

‘Hey, are you going to win?’

Igi-eo-si (以氣馭矢) refers to the supreme skill of controlling a shot arrow with one’s will.

A similar skill is swordsmanship.

It is a peerless skill that can only be achieved by reaching the realm of the supernatural.

The Eumhonma Army looked at Guhwi and thought that he was an unbeatable being.

When Gu Hui killed three hundred of the Wind Soul Slayers in one blow, the spirit of the Yin Soul Demon Army was lost.

‘Seo, he is a master better than Seongju…’

Gu-Hui’s gaze quickly turned to the Eumhonma Army.

The evil spirit’s face was dark.

My body was shaking. My heart was pounding like it was going to burst.

As Gu-Hui approached, the spirit demon fell flat on the ground.

“S, S… Please save me… I was wrong, Daehyeop… Please….”

Gu Hui looked down at the spirit demon with cold eyes. Then he said.

“Give me a chance. A chance to live.”

“Uh, what should I do…?”

Gu Hui’s gaze turned to the villagers who were crouching to one side and shivering. Then he turned his gaze back to the Yin-Pung Demon Army.

“Try to run away from me.”

“How could I possibly shake off the great swordsman…?”

“Half an inch. I’ll chase you after that.”

A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the evil spirit.

No matter how great your opponent’s magic is, if he starts halfway, he will never be able to catch up to you.

“Excuse me, is this true?”

“Okay. Let’s start now.”

With his eyes wide open, the demon spirit suddenly kicked the ground and unleashed his divine technique. His new form advanced towards the forest at a speed as fast as the wind.

– Pfft! Pfft!

A new type of soul demon army that became a dot in an instant.

Gu-Hui intends to hunt the villagers just as he hunted humans. He intends to make them feel the despair of being hunted by the villagers.

As promised, we will depart after half an hour.

Even so, I was confident that I could catch the bastard.

A moment later, as the half-moon passed, Gu-hui pulled out the blood sword hanging from his waist.

– Sreung…

He placed the Blood Heavenly Sword on the ground. Then he stood sideways and stepped on the sword. As he directed his energy, the Blood Heavenly Sword carrying him rose into the sky.

– Shuaaaaaaah!!

It was a sword flying technique that only the best of the Life and Death Realms could master.

In an instant, his new form reached the sky, 200 meters above the ground. In that state, Gu-Hui concentrated his eyes and scanned the ground.

Eventually, I was able to find the Yin Hon Demon Army at the place where the Gyeongcheonmaseong Fortress was.

‘There you are.’

The new form of Gu Hui, who was standing on the bloodline, was shot diagonally.

– Wedge!!
