Chapter 161: What Kind of Money Is That (4)
So-so and Baeksang’s complexions darkened. There were dozens of warriors surrounding them.
At that time, an angry cry came from somewhere.
“What a shitty situation this is!”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on one place. Someone was approaching with a breathless energy.
Long, dark eyebrows and chilly eyes. Even at a glance, he was a master of a different level from other warriors. He was very angry.
“My lord, are you here?”
He walked towards the fallen and writhing unit owner.
It was such a miserable sight that I couldn’t even see it with my eyes open. Because I was attacked while urinating, I couldn’t even pull up my pants.
“……Great Lord.”
The one called the Great Lord looked around and then looked down again.
“You are a disgrace to our black squad.”
Their identity was Heuksaldae, a military organization directly under the Goyanghoe.
Her feet, raised high in the sky, crushed the face of the fallen unit commander.
Kwasik-!
The battalion leader beneath her feet convulsed and his entire body went limp.
Who would have known that the second-in-command of the organization would be killed like this? Everyone fell silent at the terrible sight.
For an instant, the surroundings were enveloped in silence.
It was a simple movement, but the enormous energy beneath her feet was enough for even So-so and Baeksang to notice.
Baeksang said with a dark face.
“……So-so, you run away first.”
The relatively slow white elephant was unable to escape. I knew that too. But So-so was not the type to abandon his friend.
“Let’s fight together.”
Unlike So-so, Baeksang had already lost the will to fight. It was too scary a situation for a child to handle.
“We can’t win….”
So-so became impatient and stamped her feet. You can’t fight while protecting a white elephant. It was clear that if he ran away, he would be beaten to death alone.
At that time, the leader of the Black Death Squad turned his back and spoke to his subordinates.
“Kill the boy and capture the girl alive. I will give you half price.”
It meant organizing the situation within half a circle. It seemed that his pride did not allow him to step forward on his own.
The warriors stepped forward and unleashed their deadly spirit. Some of them were skilled enough to unleash sword energy.
Since I knew that they were children who had learned martial arts, they seemed to have no intention of looking after them.
Just as the battle was about to begin, So-so shouted urgently.
“Wait a minute!”
The leader of the Black Belt raised one hand. As if they had made an appointment, everyone stopped moving and waited.
So-so, who had gained some time, looked around subconsciously.
The walls of Jangan Fortress were visible in the distance. Although it wasn’t close, I thought that someone inside the castle walls might be able to hear my voice.
So-so took a deep breath and instantly spewed out a lion’s tail towards the castle wall.
“help!!!”
Tremendous sound waves emitted from their small bodies shot out over the headed of the warriors.
Since it was Lion’s Roar performed without any preparation, its power was only three degrees, but that alone was amazing.
The branches of the trees broke as if they were about to break, and the warriors in front stumbled as if they would fall.
And So-so’s actions made the leader of the Black Death Team angry. This was because there was a risk that this place would be exposed if there were government troops nearby.
“Where did this little bitch get her modifications… Kill her now!”
Men in black clutching swords began to rush in from all directions.
At that moment, So-so grabbed Baeksang’s lapel and attempted to leap with all his might. The target was a towering pine tree nearby.
Taaa-!
Two children stood tall on a tree branch this tall.
The white elephant that was being held by So-so asked in confusion.
“W-what are you doing?”
“Stay still.”
The warriors gathered under the tree and shouted.
“Trying to run away? There’s no way!”
“You guys died today!”
The moment the warriors leaped, So-so grabbed the white elephant and flew up again.
After jumping over several trees, I stood on the roof of the shrine.
Movement as quick as a flying squirrel. The warriors who were watching this became very excited.
So-so looked around his head.
Angry warriors were cutting down all the nearby trees. The palace was completely surrounded on all sides. There seemed to be no more room to escape.
“Come down when I say nice things.”
“The higher we go, the more we get hit.”
It was not So-so that would go down smoothly. He let go of Baeksang’s collar and let out a loud noise.
“no, I do not want!”
“How can something as small as a bean make noise so rudely?”
There was no longer a way out.
It was a time when warriors bent their lower bodies to leap. Suddenly So-so looked somewhere and smiled brightly. Then he raised one hand high and shouted.
“Dalong, sister, stay here!”
At that moment, the roar of an animal was heard from somewhere.
Wow-!!!
A tiger’s hearing was ten times better than that of humans. Even more so, if he were the king of beasts who had practiced the Tao for a long time, his abilities were unfathomable.
He was a mountain warrior who heard So-so’s voice inside the castle, cut off his leash, and ran to him.
Tension appeared on the face of the Black Slayer. This was because I felt that something was approaching this place at an incredible speed.
The force was so great that it gave goosebumps all over my body. It was not a level he could handle on his own.
“Leave the kids alone and gather together right away! Set out your battle line!”
***
Boom!
It was the sound of someone’s neck being broken. There were already dozens of bodies lying around.
All of them were pitiful, with certain body parts charred black. There were only three black warriors who were still alive.
And in the center was a woman with one hand behind her back.
Jade Flower Lady’s speech painting.
There was no mercy in her right hand, surrounded by dark fire.
“Is it just you guys who came here? If that’s the case, I’m disappointed.”
They were warriors from the Black Death Team who had come to kidnap Seolhwa and steal the hermit. The problem was that I only found out her identity now.
The three men in black looked at each other. There was fear and solemnity in their eyes.
“Anyway, if we continue like this, we will be killed by the great lord. Let’s go to the end with honor as warriors.”
“It’s an honor to die with you all. Let’s go!”
“We attack at the same time!”
Seolhwa, who was watching this, snorted.
“They are having fun.”
The three warriors looked at each other and nodded.
After one breath. The warrior in the middle took action first.
The moment he began his final rush. The other two defied expectations and turned their backs and ran in the opposite direction.
The warrior running ahead looked like he had chewed shit. This was because he noticed that his colleagues used him as a shield and escaped. But there was no turning back now.
He poured out the last secret he knew.
“Dude!”
It was that time when a ray of light was shining towards Seolhwa.
At that moment, her right hand, which was hidden behind her back, created an alter ego and drew an illusion.
An incredible speed that cannot be traced with the eye. Seomseom Oksu, who had disappeared, was already holding onto the neck of the man in black.
Kuuk-!
“Bwak!”
The veins in the eyes of the man in black, who was out of breath, burst and became bloodshot. Although her hands were slender, they contained tremendous grip strength that could crush even steel.
The other two weren’t safe either.
Seolhwa’s other hand was already stretched out towards them. Beams of light shot out like spiderwebs from the sleeves and wrapped around the necks of the people in black who were running away.
Whirring!
The people in black who were running away fell before they could get far.
“Ugh!”
“Oops!”
As she closed her hands, Cheonjamsa slithered around and pulled them in.
“Did you guys just sell out your colleague?”
The magician he worked for was also not loyal, but not to this extent. I couldn’t help but be appalled by their actions.
Seolhwa let go of the warrior he was holding with his left hand.
After stumbling for a while, he soon regained his posture. At that moment, a murderousness that had never been seen before bloomed in her eyes. The target was not speech painting.
“Die, you bastards!”
Her feet began to kick his fallen comrades.
Wow! Puck-! Kwasik-!
“Ugh!”
“Wow!”
Her eyes rolled back and he didn’t seem to care about the story. There was no mercy in the powerful kick.
After a while, she, who was watching, quietly let out a word.
“stop.”
At that moment, his movements stopped like a lie. He continued to fuss for a while as if his anger had not subsided.
After a while, he came to his senses, realized his situation, and became extremely quiet.
“You just go.”
“……yes?”
“Go away. Or die with these guys.”
He had absolutely no desire to be killed like this.
I couldn’t understand why, but I had to hurry before Madhu in front of me changed his mind again.
“Thank you.”
“If you see me again, I will die.”
“I will leave Shaanxi and live steadily! Thank you!”
The man in black bent her waist vertically, wrapped her arms around him, and ran quickly.
After he disappeared, Seolhwa squatted down by the bed of the two fallen people.
“I should return the favor, but my husband is a little late. So, can you guys guide me?”
“Uh, where are you talking about?”
“Hmm. Shall we go to Ooyanghoe first?”
I couldn’t predict what would happen if I refused. After all, you have nothing more to lose. They didn’t know if they would be saved if they listened carefully.
“Okay, I understand.”
“We will guide you wherever you go.”
Seolhwa stood up and walked towards the hut and spoke.
“Before that, get rid of all this trash first.”
The bodies of black assassins were scattered around the residence. It was quite a hassle to clean it up myself.
The men in black stood up shakily and looked for suitable tools nearby. Then, he silently began digging a hole in an empty lot about twenty miles away.
***
Headquarters of Guard Battalion, Jangan Province.
Captain Hwang Gae-chil was sitting across the table, snapping his fingers. He had a serious expression, as if he was thinking about something.
At that time, one of the gunners came into headquarters.
“Captain, he finally opened his mouth.”
“what?”
“It is said that they attacked the old man at the instigation of Ouyanghoe.”
“I couldn’t believe it, but I never thought they would be this much trash….”
“What should I do?”
Hwang Gae-chil stood up and picked up his sword sheath.
“What should I do? I have to catch the guy who instigated it.”
“The enemy is the Ouyanghoe, Captain. I heard that they even have an armed group under their direct control. Wouldn’t it be too dangerous to just attack them?”
“Didn’t we train magic for times like this? There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“Still, something feels a bit uneasy. I guess I should secure more evidence and ask for help from the government forces….”
Suddenly, Hwang Gae-chil’s face hardened. His heavy voice spoke one word.
“Wang Cheol.”
“Yes, sir.”
Hwang Gae-chil’s eyebrows narrowed and he shouted.
“Action leader Wang Cheol-i!”
Wang Cheol, full of energy, gathered his legs and stood up.
“Yes, brother!”
“What is the first iron rule of the Gaechil faction?”
“Whoever the opponent is, attack them first and see!”
Hwang Gae-chil patted him on the shoulder with a serious expression.
“We must never forget the general’s kindness in giving us a chance. The time has finally come to live up to expectations.”
“Yes, brother.”
“It is our responsibility, not anyone else’s, that the security of the streets has been breached. It must be corrected now.”
“All right.”
“How many guards are waiting right now?”
“About fifty people.”
Hwang Gae-chil nodded and walked out the door, speaking confidently.
“That’s enough.”
