Chapter 474: Chapter 474

“Uwaaaaaah!”

Jang Sam-tae began to make a fuss while screaming.

The boat tilted this way and that and was hit by high waves.

The moment it was hit, he flew off and bumped his head, and as soon as he got up, he grabbed the bow of the boat and vomited.

“Uwaeek!”

His stomach didn’t feel good.

Despite repeating vomiting several times, his stomach churned even more and his head spun round and round.

Inside the boat moving here and there, Jang Sam-tae gasped for breath, sprawling like a corpse.

“Heok… heok… M-Manor Lord… I… I’m a goner… now…”

“…”

Literally spitting out words weakly like a dying person, tears even welled up in his eyes.

Had he known that riding a boat would be this embarrassing, Jang Sam-tae would never have followed along.

Watching such a sight, Dan Woo-hyun clicked his tongue.

“Absurd…”

“N-No, it’s really hard! Why are you the only one perfectly fine, Manor Lord?”

Jang Sam-tae couldn’t understand.

Looking at it, even Jang Ryang, who was sailing the boat for the first time in a long time, didn’t look good with his complexion turning pale.

The sign of him holding it in was evident, but on the other hand, Dan Woo-hyun stood tall with a nonchalant expression.

Even though the boat shook this way and that, he didn’t move a single step as if a peg was driven in.

At that sight, Jang Ryang and Jang Sam-tae stuck out their tongues.

“Leave your body to the flow.”

“What… if I leave it when it’s shaking this much, I’ll just die.”

Jang Sam-tae clicked his tongue and laughed absurdly.

Leaving it to the flow, what is there to leave?

In the first place, what even is that flow?

To Jang Sam-tae who didn’t even know what kind of flow to look for, Dan Woo-hyun’s words were too esoteric and extremely complicated.

“Hahaha, you’re truly amazing… Even I, who have been a sailor my whole life, find it hard.”

Jang Ryang smiled weakly.

The sea became even rougher.

In fact, it was absurd to pierce through this place using a boat. If it wasn’t for Jang Ryang’s skill, it would have sunk long ago.

Dan Woo-hyun nodded, satisfied with Jang Ryang’s skill.

“How much further do we have to go?”

“It will start to show up soon.”

Jang Ryang answered with a stiff expression and gazed at one place. Considering the distance they had moved, the Zhoushan Archipelago would soon reveal itself.

The moment he said those words.

A strange island could be seen through the thickly fogged mist.

The closer they got, the rougher the sea became, the fog thickened, and he couldn’t even tell where he was.

Even so, Jang Ryang was finding the way.

There was no hesitation in his actions moving forward.

Whether it was because of the thought that he might find his son again, or because of his gratitude to Dan Woo-hyun for letting him get revenge, a firm will to definitely bring the two people to the Zhoushan Archipelago could be felt.

“Heok… heok… N-Now I can see it.”

“Don’t let your guard down.”

The moment the island slowly approached, Jang Sam-tae let out a sigh of relief. But Dan Woo-hyun stepped forward, warning of that.

At the same time.

Chwachwachwachaak!

Arrows began to pour down.

“Heok?!”

“Hik!”

A tremendous amount of arrows, enough to tightly fill the sky, were approaching the boat as they were.

Perhaps containing considerable internal energy, some of them fell into the sea, and seawater surged up with an intense ringing sound of ‘peong’.

“If we get hit, we die!”

Jang Sam-tae shouted in surprise and jumped up from his seat.

He himself also felt that no joke of a power was contained within them.

However, Dan Woo-hyun’s answer was surprisingly calm.

“Isn’t it something that can be resolved by blocking?”

The amount of strongly pouring arrows was considerable.

It was to the point where even if one said they would block it, it couldn’t be easily blocked, which was why Jang Sam-tae was horrified.

But to Dan Woo-hyun, the impossible did not exist.

He raised his sword.

And looking at the pouring arrows, he lightly unleashed a move.

Buung!

Power was loaded onto the lightly swung blade.

A fierce sound was heard as if swinging something heavy.

Soon, the wind suddenly blew fiercely and flew towards the pouring arrows, and instantly knocked them all away and twisted their direction.

Peongpeongpeongpeong!

All the arrows fell into the sea.

As the water surged with a tremendous sound, the already bad sea conditions became even worse.

The boat shook as if it would flip over at any moment, and it was to the extent that even old sailors wouldn’t be able to catch their balance.

“Uwaeek!”

“Kkuuuwaaek!”

In the end, even Jang Ryang couldn’t hold it in and vomited.

The moment Dan Woo-hyun clicked his tongue ‘tsk tsk’ looking at that, a different energy than before was felt, and it flew swiftly towards the boat.

That power was not something that could be deflected.

The moment they tried to deflect or avoid it, not only Jang Sam-tae but even Jang Ryang would be killed.

Dan Woo-hyun did not hesitate.

He quickly carried Jang Sam-tae and Jang Ryang and threw his body.

It extended out rapidly in an instant.

He ran while stepping on the incredibly rough sea.

The speed was so fast that the gap with the Zhoushan Archipelago narrowed in an instant, and even the flying arrows couldn’t hit Dan Woo-hyun.

The moment he soon reached the island.

Saak!

Once again, something flew in.

Dan Woo-hyun avoided it by flying his body high, and as he soon reached the coast, he confirmed the countless people visible to his eyes.

Beings wearing masks.

The energies felt from all of them were the same.

What they had learned was undoubtedly the Martial God’s Dao Scripture.

It seemed only those who had survived after learning that bizarre thing remained in this place.

It didn’t seem strange to think that perhaps this Zhoushan Archipelago was a place for that.

“Uwaaaaaah!”

Listening to the sound Jang Sam-tae let out, Dan Woo-hyun put strength into his feet.

Thousand Catty Weight.

Kwang!

The moment he stepped down and his feet touched the ground.

Tremendous power spread out in all directions.

The ground heaved and surged, and that wave extended outwards, pushing away the dozens of people who were gathered around.

“Keok!”

“Keuak!”

The ones wearing masks flew off and sprawled out without even being able to properly do anything, and even those who weren’t affected because they were far away seemed to have frozen in fear at the felt momentum of Dan Woo-hyun.

Dan Woo-hyun put the two people down.

“This should be enough.”

“It was… a novel experience…”

Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat.

To think that his feet touching the ground would bring such relief. But that thought was only for a moment, the moment he saw those gathered in all directions, he was filled with the desire to turn back again.

“Aren’t… aren’t there too many?!”

“Isn’t it better than Changbai Mountain?”

“Well… that’s true, but…”

Jang Sam-tae couldn’t argue.

The number of those he saw at Changbai Mountain far exceeded the number of those in front of his eyes right now. But he naturally realized that they were only fewer in number, and their power was so great that it couldn’t even be compared.

They didn’t even speak a word.

Only aiming their swords and emitting killing intent.

“Oh my…”

Jang Ryang stepped back in surprise.

Because the thought crossed his mind that his son might be among them, he tried to check their faces one by one, but since everyone was wearing masks, it seemed impossible without taking them off.

“Check the fallen ones first. Since I didn’t kill them.”

“U-Understood.”

Jang Ryang nodded and ran towards the sprawled out people.

It wasn’t an action to take while countless people were emitting killing intent, but Jang Ryang didn’t care about anything else.

Dan Woo-hyun glanced at such Jang Ryang and then looked at the remaining ones.

“Suppressing them… without killing…”

“Is it more difficult?”

“Of course.”

He nodded his head.

If he made up his mind to kill, he could do it as much as he wanted. But most of these people were those who had been captured from somewhere. His son Jang Ryang might be mixed in there.

Therefore, Dan Woo-hyun let out a small sigh and raised his sword scabbard.

Peogeok!

For a moment, it seemed Dan Woo-hyun’s figure disappeared, then he appeared in front of them.

The swung sword scabbard struck faces and hit the chests of others.

Like that, they fell down one by one in an instant.

Watching that scene, Jang Sam-tae clicked his tongue.

From what he could see, Dan Woo-hyun didn’t particularly seem to have any intention of keeping them alive.

Peokpeokpeok!

It was natural to have such thoughts.

Because the sounds coming from those getting hit were fierce.

It sounded as if bones were breaking somewhere, or there were even those who started to gasp as if they couldn’t breathe.

‘This is just… saying he’ll kill them…’

Jang Sam-tae shook his head from side to side.

However, due to Dan Woo-hyun’s actions, the surroundings were quickly being cleaned up.

Most of those who had been shooting arrows from the coast were facedown, and there were no signs of others appearing.

“This should be enough.”

Dan Woo-hyun lightly loosened his body and nodded his head.

Although it took more time than he had thought, looking only at the process of suppressing without killing, it was a fairly satisfactory situation.

“Check them one by one. This side should be safe now.”

“U-Understood.”

Jang Ryang, who was looking at Dan Woo-hyun with a bewildered expression, hurriedly nodded his head.

Thinking it would take a considerable amount of time to check all these many people one by one, cold sweat flowed down his face.

Just then, Dan Woo-hyun turned his head.

A place not too far from the coast.

Small pavilions were built there.

The energies felt one by one were formidable.

He judged that the subordinates the Heavenly Martial Emperor raised were gathered there, and that the Heavenly Martial Emperor’s whereabouts or something that could inform him of it would be somewhere over there.

“You stay here.”

“Yes!”

“…”

Dan Woo-hyun glanced at Jang Sam-tae.

Smiling broadly, he had no hesitation whatsoever.

Originally, one should assist their lord by their side even at the risk of their life, but Jang Sam-tae didn’t seem to have anything like that at all.

“No… shouldn’t there be someone to protect that old man?”

“Right…”

“It’s not that I don’t want to go because I don’t particularly want to die! This Jang Sam-tae! If it’s for you, Manor Lord, my life is not precious at all!”

As if he always moved only for Dan Woo-hyun, he puffed out his chest and spoke proudly. But the moment their eyes met softly, he sweated coldly and turned his head away.

“Then fol…”

“Manor Lord! Hurry up, quickly resolve it and come back! This Jang Sam-tae will dedicate his life here to protect that old man, and wait for the Manor Lord’s glorious return!”

“…”

Dan Woo-hyun silently glared at Jang Sam-tae.

At that gaze, cold sweat poured down like rain on Jang Sam-tae’s face.

But soon, a small sigh was heard, and Dan Woo-hyun gave a smirk as if he found it amusing and turned his back.

“Right, keep waiting. I will return soon.”

Leaving those words behind, Dan Woo-hyun slowly began to walk.
