Cheonhwa was angry.
It was anger towards all those who touched what was theirs, whether it was Jeongcheonmaeng, Heukdomaeng, or Mine.
“Evil dragon… … ?”
“You were alive?!”
However, the fact that he was alive seemed to be more impactful to them than the wrath of Cheonhwa.
I couldn’t help but wonder if it was really him, or if someone was just imitating or tricking me using a mask or something, and I had no time to think about how I should respond if he really was the real evil dragon Cheonhwa.
That further provoked Cheonhwa’s anger.
“I’m asking you now! You little shits!!”
“Kkukk… … !”
Pubbubububububu!!!
That’s why it’s back to the grindstone.
Every time Cheonhwa, who was holding the Ice Spirit Medicine, swung her arm, a scream that did not sound human erupted.
Even though experts like them would have learned how to protect the inside and outside of their bodies with their internal energy and how to take less pain when hit, it was useless.
It was only natural that they could not defend against the power of Cheonhwa with their meager internal energy, and wherever the Ice Spirit Jade Medicine touched, it froze and stiffened, and the most painful blow hit them, so it was a pain they had never experienced before in their lives, and it was engraved on their bodies.
“Is that really an evil dragon?”
There was no mercy or discrimination in that medium.
He only stopped after he had knocked down everyone standing on their feet, as if everyone in the place was a criminal.
Magic? Magic? What does that mean?
Not only the Minds, but also some of the members of the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance tried to fight back reflexively, but it was meaningless. It was just an attempt and had no effect on Cheonhwa’s merciless beating.
Still, I did thresh it with a little more care as I resisted.
In that state where everyone was equally stretched out, the first ones to rise were the leaders of each faction.
They were the ones who had reached the peak of their maturity and were known as the best hundred martial artists in the world, but in reality, they were the ones who could boast of being the strongest among the mediocre ones.
Although they are all linked together as a hundred great masters, the upper and top levels are mostly occupied by the heads and elders of the old-timers.
But if you think about it another way, it also means that Yang Maeng might have anticipated this situation.
If they were the mid-level 100 masters who did not belong to the Gupaebang Five Great Swordsmen, they would have solid military power, but on the other hand, they were a group that could be discarded at any time.
They either knew it or didn’t know it, or they just stupidly didn’t believe that Cheonhwa could really kill them, so they tried to get up, but then they secretly put their bodies back on the ground because of Cheonhwa’s icy anger.
Still, they couldn’t help but ask, and although the way they teased each other was quite funny, no one could laugh out loud.
“Then what are we going to do?”
“How on earth did you survive in that collapse? Was there a secret passage or something? If so, why didn’t it show up right away… …”
“Why are you sad that you didn’t die?”
This temperament and powerlessness.
Even though they had the unmistakable appearance of a heavenly flower that could be seen without having to lift up the skin, their faces still looked filled with doubt.
Rather, I was suspecting something else.
Those minds lying around me.
We confirmed that he had passed out with all his limbs broken after resisting so fiercely, but we wondered if these guys and Cheonhwa had conspired to set a trap for them.
The timing of Cheonhwa’s intrusion was very coincidental.
“Could it be that you conspired with them to set us up… …”
If I had that much power, I wouldn’t have had to resort to such tricks, and I wouldn’t have had to crush the mines so thoroughly, but maybe I wanted to find another culprit. I didn’t know if I wanted to believe that.
That way, their failures and their position can be forgiven to some extent.
Of course, it was nonsense that would not work on Cheonhwa.
“They say that a bad guy gets angry, but what’s wrong with a guy who was trying to commit robbery and getting caught at the scene?”
Boom!!!
I got beaten up a few more times for talking nonsense and almost fainted, but Cheonhwa didn’t let me faint.
“Okay. If you really think so, there is a good way.”
“Wh, what… … ?”
To those who were barely able to come to their senses, Cheonhwa suggested a solution as if he had a good idea.
It was a way for them to resolve their misunderstandings and also for them to release their anger.
“I’ll kill them all fairly. Since you don’t seem to trust me, I’ll kill those guys first. Then you won’t have any complaints, right?”
“?!”
“Please, spare us. We never even thought of any suspicion!”
Then the reactions were sharply divided.
Jeongcheonmaeng’s greeting, which had initially expressed his suspicion, was momentarily speechless at the pure murderous intent displayed by Cheonhwa, and the men of Heukdoman immediately buried their heads in their hands and begged for mercy.
As expected of a Sapa guy, he had no regard for face.
Wiggle.
But the most violent reaction was from the mines that were thought to have fainted.
I don’t know when I woke up, but the guys who were waiting for an opportunity to pretend to be unconscious immediately lit a firework and aimed for Cheonhwa.
The crimson flame was the essence of my inner strength and the ignition of my vitality.
If we were to judge purely on martial arts and internal energy, he would not be able to match the best of the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Black Sword Alliance, who were standing right next to him, but Magi’s evil internal energy nature and explosively increased internal energy level were more than enough to compete with them.
With their mighty powers blazing, the guys struck Cheonhwa in unison.
No, that’s what I was trying to do.
“They are really annoying.”
“… … !”
But they couldn’t even get out.
That’s because he froze while making the same motion as he was about to emerge, with the magic fire burning.
Cheonhwa simply swung the Ice Spirit Medicine lightly.
Then, a cold wind like a sword blew and froze them.
It was called a weak wind because it was caused by a jade flute, but its power was by no means a weak wind.
Ice and Spirit Unity.
Because of his deepened rapport with the Ice Spirit and his heightened understanding, Cheonhwa was now able to use similar techniques without having to activate the Ice Age.
Although the power of the Ice Spirit Jade Potion was still far more powerful and efficient, Cheonhwa felt that if he could take just one more step, he could generate similar power with his bare hands, so their clumsy fire tricks would not work on him.
Hwaryeong.
Even the internal energy flames that they called Seonghwa and Mahwa were imbued with the spirit energy.
Just like the eunuch I saw before, they planted the spirit’s energy in their bodies and sacrificed their internal energy and life force to grow and pollute the spirit’s energy, which was the true nature of the flames they created.
That’s why I couldn’t move in front of the power of the Ice Spirit, which was the same spirit energy but was far superior and overwhelming.
“If you were to wield a knife in someone else’s house and hurt someone, you would be prepared to pay a price for it, right?”
Bam!!!
What followed was a series of beatings.
But being beaten while completely frozen was on a whole other level than what I had been beaten before.
With each strike, the magic fire, the essence of strength and life, would ripple as if it were going to go out, and the flesh would also break and fall apart.
Since he had dared to harm his subordinates, it was only natural that he would be punished accordingly, and even though it was a rather cruel punishment, Cheonhwa did not even blink an eye.
At that sight, everyone watching trembled.
It was not because of the deep, indescribable chill that emanated from him, but because of the fear that was imprinted on my soul through his eyes.
“Okay, whose turn is it now?”
So the mines were utterly destroyed, and now it was the turn of the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Black Sword Alliance.
“Should I freeze it, burn it, fry it, or tear it up?”
Everyone’s bodies froze at Cheonhwa’s words, which were spooky like a hellish demon.
Even the Sapa guys who were begging for their lives kept their mouths shut.
“Oh, we didn’t use our hands!”
“That’s a misunderstanding. We just dealt with the poison they released… …!”
“Be quiet.”
A beat later, they realized the situation and started to beg, but Cheonhwa just kept glaring at them with a fierce expression.
“My lord, you can’t.”
“Hmm? It’s been a while, Director Ma.”
At that moment, Mayeryeong intervened.
It would have been easy for Cheonhwa to kill them, but that wasn’t the case.
It was none other than the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance.
Because if they do make a mistake, making them pay with death would be interpreted as nothing more than an attempt to turn against them.
Then it’s difficult.
No matter how strong Cheonhwa is, they are the lions of the forces that are currently dividing the martial world.
It would be difficult to kill him rather than punish him separately and make him pay for his crime.
Even if Cheonhwa had the power to take on the world alone, it would be the same.
Unless you really intend to go to war with the world, and even give up the Black Panthers to fight them, it would be difficult to cross the line any further.
Until then, neither he nor Haomun will be able to help.
“You shouldn’t kill them. What they did was outrageous, but in fact, it happened before the incident happened, and since the Mines are involved, it could cause unnecessary misunderstandings. That kind of conflict could be exactly what the Demonic Cult wants. Also, since Yang Meng is the only one who can accept this amount of goods, the entire business could be shaken. So, let’s end it with compensation.”
Even though her own life was threatened, Mayeryeong gave a very rational answer.
For the sake of Cheonhwa and Haomen.
Also for the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance.
It is unknown how strong Cheonhwa really is, but even if we only look at the revealed and confirmed levels, if they decide to run wild, it is clear that they too will have to suffer great damage.
“Tch. There’s nothing we can do. If General Ma says so. You guys, consider yourself lucky.”
In the end, Cheonhwa also accepted the offer.
Although, the story she mentioned was more about the possibility of the business going out of business because there were no buyers for the last elixirs.
“But I still have to do the math properly.”
That’s why the calculations had to be done thoroughly.
“Give me everything you brought.”
There was no need for them to take out their pockets.
With just one flick of the hand of the trembling Cheonhwa, all the pouches tied to their waists flew towards him.
Inside were a few gold and silver coins and a few vouchers that appeared to be personal, but what was unusual was that one part of the vouchers was blank.
Blank sheet of paper.
Since I don’t know how much the elixir from the top of the Black Panther will be worth, I prepared a blank slip for now.
So that you can write down the amount on the spot after converting the value.
Of course, I don’t know if he actually intended to use it, but it seemed like he was prepared.
“… … Then what should the order be?”
Only then did the guys lying on the floor get up.
He furtively glanced at Cheonhwa’s expression, then glanced at the opponent’s reaction and the elixir and inner potion he had brought from Yunnan.
“Order? What order?”
“They said they would sell the carts one by one… … .”
Since they said they would sell the elixirs by the cart, they are trying to figure out which cart would be advantageous for them to occupy.
But Cheonhwa looked at them as if asking what the hell they were talking about.
“A cart? Do you have money?”
“What is that… … Didn’t you just take it!”
When Cheonhwa gave the absurd answer of whether he really had the money to buy that, the guys were embarrassed and protested, but of course, it was a nonsense that didn’t make any sense.
“Money? I got it. Compensation. Consolation money for the injured, the dead, and their families. And there’s also money to repair the damaged areas… … .”
“No, how much is that… …! No, I’ll write it down for you. Give me the receipt!”
“I’m not done talking yet, kid!”
Bam!!
After raising their voices and bursting out, thinking that Cheonhwa’s anger had subsided, the bastards closed their mouths again.
Because it was Cheonhwa who held the sword hilt.
Knowing that their martial arts skills were far inferior to Cheonhwa’s, their right to speak was something they could only do with permission.
“And compensation for the mental damage to me and everyone else. This is a bit more than the value of that cart, but I will only accept that much.”
“W, that’s ridiculous… … huff.”
The compensation thus determined was equal to the price of the cart they wanted to purchase.
Of course, this was the amount calculated by adding 50% to the market price.
“For your information, this is only compensation. Go and tell them. I will personally go and hold Yang Meng accountable for this matter.”
Even that was just compensation for today’s very simple accident.
Accountability and compensation for what caused this incident still remained.
