The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 106



Only Noblemtl

Episode 106

A wet and clammy sensation. A quickly spreading scent of blood. A warm and sticky sensation.

Seolhwa looked down at her hands.

That which had been so familiar to her, but which had now become unfamiliar, stained her hands.

It was death.

To Yu Kang, the smell of death was in the air.

“… .”

My heart started pounding.

My mind started to feel dizzy, and a buzzing sound filled my ears.

Seolhwa’s fingertips trembled.

A feeling of emptiness gripped her, something she had never felt before, despite having seen countless deaths.

The sound of his breathing felt more threatening than any other sound.

“How is it? Do you feel like you’re going to die soon? It’s so dark I can’t see anything, this is…”

Seolhwa looked up and looked at the Hwangryongdaeju. A red energy flickered in her eyes.

“Wow… It’s a bit scary when you look at it like that…?”

“Why did you do that…?”

“Hmm….”

Hwangryongdaeju brushed the blood off his sword as if it was nothing.

“I didn’t plan on getting involved. I was frustrated because they were doing such stupid things right in front of me. This is a mess because I couldn’t catch one kid.”

“… .”

‘Namgung Horak, the King of the Yellow Dragons.’

There is only one piece of information that Seolhwa knows about Namgung Horak.

‘Yeonsoran’s lover and Namgung Soryong’s biological father.’

A being similar to Namgung who tried to devour Namgung using Yeonsoran and Soryong.

He was the Hwangryongdaeju that Seolhwa knew.

In my previous life, I only remember taking out Yeonsoran and Soryong and escaping before the Blood Cult Rebellion even broke out…

‘…I see.’

Now I understand.

At that time, why were they able to escape before the Blood Cult Rebellion even began?

“ha….”

A cold breath escaped from between Seolhwa’s lips as she realized the truth too late.

This is clearly his own mistake. A fatal mistake brought about by the complacency that he could handle it at any time.

What was left behind in the hope that it would be dealt with directly by Cheonghae’s hands became a self-inflicted wound.

‘Mistakes… must be corrected.’

Sling-

Seolhwa carefully laid Yugang down and picked up the fallen sword.

It was a black fish much bigger than my body, and I brought it with me just in case when I left the waterway.

“Run away.”

A soft voice spoke to the children beyond the bushes.

Hwarin and Soyak, who had been hiding in the bushes, were startled and the bushes shook.

“Run as far as you can. Don’t look back, don’t stop. Go as far as you can.”

Soon I heard the two children running away.

Hwangryongdaeju whistled while looking in the direction the children were running.

“Wow… You’re more meticulous than I’ve heard, Your Majesty. Are you worried that I might kill those kids?”

The children’s presence gradually grew distant, and now even their footsteps could not be heard.

“If we go at a child’s pace, how far will we go…?”

Tch.

“no.”

“?”

“I’m afraid I’ll kill you.”

“…yes?”

At that moment, Hwangryongdaeju felt as if the surroundings were turning pitch black.

It felt like an even darker darkness was descending on the already dark forest.

“What is this….”

A chill ran down his body along with the creepy aura. His hand holding the sword automatically tightened.

Hwangryongdaeju looked at the darkness that was getting closer to him step by step.

The only place that wasn’t consumed by the darkness was behind her, where Yu Kang was.

‘… Is it possible to deal with life like this…?’

This is the first time I have seen such a suffocating, thick murderous intent, and it is also the first time I have seen such a murderous intent take control of an area.

It’s like… .

‘ruler.’

Doesn’t he seem like a ruler?

Shhhhhhhhh

A sharp energy moved in the darkness.

Kaang―!

“Huh!”

It was instinct that made Hwangryongdaeju accept the sword. He raised his attack power at the same time he accepted the sword.

It felt like my breathing, which had been suffocating me from the pressure of living, was somewhat relieved. However, I only had a moment to catch my breath.

Shhh— shh— shh!

Kakang! Kang! Kakak…!

The sharp energy surged forward without stopping.

‘What’s with that little sword…!’

What is this heavy thing!

Where is it heavy? It’s fast and sharp.

Every second is filled with life, as if the moment you show an opening, your breath will be ripped away in an instant.

Chook―

“Kwaaak!”

In the end, Hwangryongdaeju was unable to fully block Seolhwa’s sword and gave up his left shoulder.

He hurriedly took a few steps back and checked his aching shoulder.

Blood was flowing out from the cut that was about a finger joint deep.

“It’s still a long way to go.”

Ugh.

Hwangryongdaeju looked at the child approaching him, gritting his teeth.

‘Haven’t we just reached the peak?’

Sure, I heard that you’re letting go of your blood and rebuilding your internal energy?

Why is it that I, who am at the peak of my maturity, am being pushed back?

‘Shit.’

Hwangryongdaeju took a deep breath and quickly took something out of his bosom before Seolhwa could get any closer.

It was a welcome gift the size of a thumbnail.

Seolhwa, who saw the welcome, stood still and stopped walking.

“I have seen your martial arts clearly in the Heavenly Martial Arts Festival, so how could I have come empty-handed?”

Hwangryongdaeju smiled broadly and put the Hwandan in his mouth. For a moment, a crunching sound was heard, as if he was chewing on a bone.

“Ugh… Kwaaaaak!!”

He started to tremble, clutching his heart as if in pain, and then a dark red energy started to explode out of his body.

Seolhwa frowned as she watched him roar with overflowing power.

‘Blood explosion pill.’

This is a magic potion created by the Blood Sect that instantly raises the body’s blood energy and creates explosive power.

Taking Bok-Hyeol-Hwan causes the heart to beat faster and the blood vessels to dilate, allowing blood to circulate more quickly throughout the body.

The blood pressure raised in this way was maintained for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.

“Kuuuuuuu… .”

The energy of the Yellow Dragon Lord rose from its peak to the highest level in an instant.

Seol-hwa asked him, who was enjoying the explosive power that was so powerful that he could even feel a sense of liberation.

“Do you know the side effects of Explosive Ring?”

Taking the Explosion Pill will give you a momentary burst of strength, but since it is a forced increase, the overloaded body will immediately disappear as soon as the effect ends.

At least half an hour to an hour later, you can’t do anything, and if you’re unlucky or take too much, you could have a heart attack.

‘Because of its side effects, Hwandan was restricted from use even within the Blood Cult in previous lives.’

To use it so defenselessly like this.

“Kuuuuu, I get it. I plan on finishing it before the side effects come. Honey, let’s try this sword too…”

hook-

“Take it!”

Cheonpung Sword Technique 2nd Form, Son-in-law of Nan-ryong!

Hwangryongdaeju attacked using Namgung’s swordsmanship, as befitting a Namgung warrior.

However, the energy flowing from the sword was not blue.

His sword had no sky, only the form.

At the moment when the Hwangryongdaeju’s sword was rushing towards Seolhwa, Seolhwa twisted her body and pushed his sword away.

Kagang- Kang-

‘If you try to receive it, you will be pushed away.’

If you confront the aura intensified by the explosive ring head-on, your sword and body won’t be able to withstand it.

Seolhwa clenched her teeth and barely managed to avoid a sword strike.

Even though the power is at its peak, the black dragon of the Yellow Dragon Lord is a false energy that has not reached that level.

In contrast, even though the power of Seolhwa was at its peak, it was a sword that had already reached the realm of Hwagyeong.

The swords of the two opposing people clashed dozens of times in the blink of an eye.

However, no matter how much experience you have, it is not easy to achieve peak aerodynamics.

Seol-hwa was being pushed back step by step.

‘If we just hold out until the explosive power of the explosion disappears…’

“The enemy monster said so! If I bring you here, I will kill Prince Namgung!”

Heart pounding.

Kagang―!

The power contained in the Sword of Snow Flower wavered for a split second.

The corners of Hwangryongdaeju’s mouth curved as he did not miss that moment.

‘This is it!’

He swung his sword more roughly and quickly, putting pressure on Seol-hwa.

“Do you know that I haven’t felt any energy from the lord since the explosion a little while ago?”

His scheme to shake Seol-hwa’s composure was sharp.

Kakaotalk, kakaotalk!

The sword of the Tale that was resisting the attack began to shake little by little.

‘That’s right! Even so, he’s still a kid! If we keep pushing like this…!’

“That damn kid luckily avoided a vital spot, but he’s going to die soon, right?”

Hwangryongdaeju let out a hearty laugh. Now, he was no longer afraid of the murderous intent that was gradually growing.

“Whether it’s the one who died, that guy or that guy. Do you know who it is that’s to blame for all the deaths in such a remote place?”

Kaka, kaaaang…!

“It’s because of you…!”

Kaang-! With a loud crash, the sword of Seolhwa flew out.

The sword that had been spinning in the air struck the ground three steps away.

“… .”

Seolhwa grabbed her trembling right wrist.

Her bloodshot eyes glared at the Yellow Dragon Lord fiercely.

Hwangryongdaeju swallowed his saliva, feeling nervous for no reason, at that cold gaze and opened his mouth.

“You shouldn’t have come back to Namgung. If you hadn’t been there, Il Gongja wouldn’t have come back, and my plans wouldn’t have been interrupted.”

If this Confucius is appointed as the next head of the clan, his sons, So-ryong and Ung, will naturally become candidates for the head of the clan.

First, Namgung Woong is not fit to leave his brother behind and covet the position of the head of the household, so So-ryong would have become the next head of the household, and if that happens…

‘Namgung was in my hands…!’

“Why did you come back, after living with dirty blood on your hands…?”

“Is that the kind of thing you say to a brat who risked his life to come back?”

With a dull thud, the Yellow Dragon Pearl disappeared from before my eyes.

Seolhwa stared blankly at the feet of someone who had taken her place, then looked at the owner of the feet who had landed on the floor.

“Have you ever seen a guy walking around with a butthole like this hanging out of his mouth? Does he think he can piss wherever he wants because it’s open?”

The one who stepped forward, grumbling and blocking the way for Seolhwa, was the great wind breaker, Seob Mu-gwang.

“Tch! This rotten, rotten bastard is a shame!”

As always, a wild energy that I had never seen before was swirling around the leisurely Seopmu-kwang.
