Chapter 397

397fury. At that time

Elder Gu easily recognized the face of the man who suddenly entered the fight..

“you…….”

It's a face that's hard to forget if you see it even once, and the nickname and name I memorized in case it would be helpful in getting rid of the Blue Dragon Credit Union in the future..

“Okmyeon Confucius Baek Mu-heun? how to get here?”

“…… I wish they would stop calling me by that nickname. Have you ever thought about how embarrassing it would be to be called that at the age of 50??”

Baek Mu-heun sighed deeply, but Elder Gu had no intention of complying with the other person's request..

He looked at Mae Geuk-ryeom, who looked seriously injured, and Baek Mu-heun, who had just appeared, and his eyes shone cunningly..

“……Geomchi and Okmyeon Gongja appear in front of me at the same time. My luck is good today.”

While saying that, Elder Gu opened his eyes wide and quickly checked to see if there were any other warriors around..

Fortunately, no further signs were felt..

‘There are no other reinforcements..’

One corner of Elder Gu’s mouth rose..

Mae Geukryeom suffered serious internal injuries. Even if I were to swing my sword again, it wouldn't be as threatening as before..

Okmyeon Confucius' martial arts skills were known to be one level below that of Mae Geukryeom. could never be his match.

However, it was a little annoying to have two swords on my waist..

‘Did Confucius of Okmyeon master the dual sword technique? I didn't have that information.’

Elder Gu narrowed his eyebrows for a moment, but even if that were the case, it wouldn’t be a problem..

It seemed like he was stronger than he was known to be when he hit him in person just now, but he only took advantage of the surprise attack and didn't even scratch his own skin..

Elder Gu thought that he had a hand in hand that would immediately turn the situation around. Even two at once.

“I wonder what kind of expression the Blue Dragon Credit Union will make if they take away your supply and demand. No, it would be okay to kill one of them and take the other alive..”

As a mean smile appeared on the corner of Elder Gu's mouth, Mae Geukryeom stepped forward with a face full of anger..

“What an absurd thing to say. You are the only one who will fall to the floor in this place..”

The old swordsman raised his sword again..

Although his body was exhausted and his internal injuries were severe, his sword was still unwavering and strong..

He sent a message to his son-in-law behind him..

[I'll threaten him from the front to get his attention, so you wait and take advantage of the opportunity..]

“Father-in-law. Would you mind? I'd rather…….”

“Do as you are told.!”

As if he didn't want to argue anymore, Mae Geukryeom rushed forward first..

“Ugh. Who will stop that stubbornness?.”

Baek Mu-heun let out a small sigh and ran to keep pace with Mae Geuk-ryeom..

“joy. The old waste still hasn't come to his senses..”

Elder Gu sneered and swung his arms wrapped in demonic energy one after another. Tension containing incredible strength surged towards the two people like a wave..

“Hmm……!”

Mae Geukryeom widened his eyes and swung his sword in concentration. Avoided, dodged, and cut most of the opponent's attacks..

In the process, his beard and front hair became stained red, but Mae Geukryeom swung his sword again and again without even thinking about wiping away the flowing blood..

“……The old man is struggling quite a bit..”

Elder Gu, who was once almost cut by Mae Geukryeom's sharp sword, kept his distance and spread tension in all directions with his overwhelming strength. He was comfortable dealing with both at the same time..

I hope the two people's swords and tension clash violently several times..

The sharpness of Mae Geukryeom's attacks, which were weakened, were greatly reduced, but they still flashed once in a while, chilling Elder Gu's heart..

As if the first surprise attack was not a fluke, Baek Mu-heun's passing also shined sharply..

Well done!

In the end, Mae Geuk-ryeom, with the help of Baek Mu-heun, broke through Gu Jang-ro's tension and narrowed the distance. It was an achievement achieved by a sharp sword that ignored all defenses..

“father-in-law!”

But it was dangerous. Mae Geuk-ryeom, who narrowly avoided the attack to the point that Baek Mu-heun, who was surprised, shouted from behind, managed to wound Elder Gu's palm..

“This crazy old man……!”

Elder Gu, with a perplexed expression, hurriedly pulled back his right hand, which was dripping blood. But he didn't just lose money..

In return for cutting one of his palms, the chest of Mae Geuk-ryeom, who came closer, was opened wide. Elder Gu's eyes glowed maliciously as he clenched his fist with his uninjured hand..

“Stop struggling and die!”

Whoa whoa-!

A fist filled with so much power that it could turn rocks into dust flew towards Mae Geukryeom's wide open chest..

It was a desperate crisis, but Mae Geuk-ryeom did not care. Rather, he sent a message to Baek Mu-heun as if he had been waiting..

[wait.]

It was a gap that was revealed on purpose. The moment that fist touched his chest, Mae Geukryeom was planning to let go of his sword and grab the guy's arm with both hands..

‘You can probably guess my intentions.’

All we can hold on to is a very short time.

However, if you are Baek Mu-heun, you will be able to cut off the enemy's head without missing that moment..

‘If this old man's life can kill the Great Demon Head of the Blood Cult, then it's a very good deal..’

Mae Geukryeom looked at his fist that was almost touching his chest and calculated the moment to let go of the sword..

[now……!]

However, Baek Mu-heun betrayed Mae Geuk-ryeom’s expectations..

whirring!

A strong hand pulling the back of my neck.

Instead of waiting for the moment when Mae Geuk-ryeom would receive the enemy's attack, Baek Mu-heun grabbed Mae Geuk-ryeom's collar and retreated..

At the same time, the startled elder Gu also quickly retreated..

He belatedly realized that Mae Geukryeom had just tried to befriend him..

“this guy! What is this?!”

Mae Geuk-ryeom, who was grabbing his son-in-law by the collar, got angry with a red face, but Baek Mu-heun just shrugged his shoulders..

“Even when I was a student, I didn't listen, will I listen now??”

“Are you sane! It was a genius opportunity to kill that Madou.!”

Mae Geukryeom was angry to the end..

he was exhausted.

It's no longer possible to guarantee how many times you can swing the sword..

So he sacrificed his life to create an opportunity for Baek Mu-heun..

“But you kicked that opportunity away……!”

“father-in-law.”

At that moment, Baek Mu-heun calmed down Mae Geuk-ryeom with a low but powerful voice..

Baek Mu-heun fully understood why Mae Geuk-ryeom was so angry..

“I know you are worried that I too will die following the weak ice..”

“nonsense……!”

Although he spoke in a voice full of anger, his voice was trembling..

it was true.

Mae Geukryeom did not want to lose not only his daughter but also his son-in-law..

If anyone had to die it had to be you.

In a fight against a difficult enemy, the first person to risk his life was himself..

“…… This is not an opponent you can defeat without sacrifice. The author can't just buy something. Even in a blood cult, you probably don't have an ordinary status..”

“Probably an elder. Suryong said that. It is said that one of the elders of the blood religion has been running the living room for generations. It is said that since it is a job that only involves chores, it is usually left to the weakest elder.…….”

“How could that kid do that??”

“You’re a kid with a lot of secrets, right?.”

Baek Mu-heun chuckled as he ignored it..

‘He must have heard the words 'chore' or 'weakest', but Elder Gu was glaring at us from over there, furious..

However, Baek Mu-heun did not even look in that direction and just looked at Mae Geuk-ryeom..

“Besides, didn't Suryong send me here??”

“……What do you want to say?.”

“It means you can afford it.”

At that moment, Baek Mu-heun spoke with an expression that Mae Geuk-ryeom had seen a long time ago..

“Father-in-law. This is Baek Muheun..”

-teacher. This is Baek Muheun..

Is it because I lost too much blood? Once again, Baek Muheun's face from the past overlapped with the present..

On the subject that caused quite a stir right from the entrance ceremony, there was a boy who came to see him with a very confident face..

- My name is Muheun Baek, a first grade student. I heard that Master Mae Geuk-ryeom's swordsmanship is the best in Cheongryong Academy..

-……so?

-Can you teach me?

At first, I didn't like his confident expression and relaxed attitude..

Because I saw that most of those students usually just buy their mouths..

-good night. Come visit me after class tomorrow..

-thank you!

I thought that if I taught him harshly for a few days, he would fall off on his own. So I nodded with the intention of making an example..

Unlike a beggar like Hanryang, Baek Muheun was a boy who was more serious than anyone else when it came to training martial arts..

In addition, he possesses dazzling talent, and he caused a surprise by reaching the top of the four classes in the Cheonmuje Yongbongbimu, which he competed in when he was in his third year. At the time, everyone said it was a miracle..

Of course, apart from that.

-Baek Muheun! Is it you again?!

-Hakju is out! bounce!

-Inooooom! Can't you just come here?!

-It's unfair! I wore a mask and even changed my voice! Why are you always pushing me to Baek Moo-heun?!

-The very fact that you say such things is proof that you are Baek Mu-heun.!

A guy who got into countless accidents, but I didn't even hate him..

“father-in-law?”

“…….”

Mae Geuk-ryeom, who escaped from the past, sighed softly..

Baek Mu-heun, no longer a boy but now middle-aged, was looking at himself with an expression full of concern..

“take a break.”

“……i get it.”

The hand that was clutching my collar slowly lost its strength..

“this guy. Just try to die. I will kill you.”

Leaving behind Mae Geuk-ryeom's threatening cheering, Baek Moo-heun stepped forward with his characteristic leisurely pace..

Elder Gu was glaring at him, his face contorted like a murderer..

“You will deal with me alone?”

Susssut…….

The two arms of Elder Gu, who had raised his magic to the peak, were covered with dark magic energy, so much so that it completely wrapped his entire body like armor..

“After cutting your limbs into pieces, I will drag you in front of the Blue Dragon Credit Union and make you beg for your life.!”

He was a glorious religious elder..

The other person insulted him/her even though he/she knew the fact..

Elder Gu, wearing demonic energy like armor, spoke with his eyes shining red..

“Pull that out too. There will be no chance if not now.”

Elder Gu’s hand pointed to Baek Mu-heun’s waist. There was a sword hanging that had not yet been drawn..

However, Baek Mu-heun smiled leisurely and shook his head..

“I'm not used to this yet. I'll pick it up if I need it.”

Elder Gu, who could no longer tolerate his leisurely behavior, screamed and ran away..

“Inoooooom!”

The momentum of the approaching typhoon was like a typhoon..

However, Baek Mu-heun rode the momentum like a breeze..

“Wow.”

Avoid the opponent's attacks with simple steps.

Block enemy movements in advance with small movements..

No matter how much I attacked, it seemed like I could catch it and escaped without it, so it looked like I was reaching out my hand meaninglessly to catch a leaf blowing here and there in the wind..

No, the warrior named Baek Mu-heun seemed to be the wind itself..

“Huh…….”

Mae Geukryeom looked at that image and thought of it..

Thirty years ago, Emperor Cheonmu.

The reason why Baek Mu-heun defeated students who were objectively evaluated as stronger than him several times at the time..

No matter who the opponent was, Baek Mu-heun never lost his own flow..

‘Looking back, it's a great talent..’

A boy who surprised even the martial arts masters at the time..

If that guy hadn't turned his back on Kang-ho with his daughter... … . Mae Geukryeom briefly made a meaningless assumption..

At that time, Baek Mu-heun's sword could not withstand the storm and began to crack..

Damn it……!

It could be said that he did more than his best with an ordinary sword just by deflecting attacks coming from all directions with the minimum amount of force..

“It's a sword I've been using for quite some time..”

Unable to bear it any longer and looking at the broken sword, Baek Mu-heun muttered regretfully..

Elder Gu, who finally decided that he had won, screamed and rushed in..

“How long did you think this trick would work? I will tear you to pieces and kill you.!”

Even if Baek Mu-heun used his strange walking and sword techniques to ward off all of his attacks, the overwhelming strength and rigidity were still on this side..

“I tried to win without taking it out until the end... … . I can't show off to my son..”

Baek Mu-heun no longer cared about the sword that had reached the end of its life. I threw away the cracked sword and pulled out the extra sword from my belt..

sreung.

He did not master dual swords. Only his son lent him a sack..

Baek Mu-heun spoke politely to Changryong Shingeom..

“Please take care of me.”

[I'll lend you as much strength as I can.]

At the same time as Changryong Shingeom's answer, the spiritual energy flowing from the sword temporarily weakened Elder Gu's magical energy..

“what……!”

It happened in an instant..

As if going up against a typhoon, a bright blue energy formed on the Changryongshingeom, which dug inward to avoid the pouring attacks..

Whirlwind Sword Technique).

This sword technique, which is Baek Mu-heun's martial arts technique, created the illusion that one sword had multiplied into dozens of swords..

썣썄죣죣 죣죣!

Dozens of strands of sword energy came out like threads, chopping up Elder Gu's self-defense energy, which was made up of demonic energy..

No, it wasn't black qi.

Such a thin sword could not pierce the self-defense strength created by ink-seong magic..

“strength……!”

A cry of astonishment came from Elder Gu’s mouth..

It was faint and thin, but it was definitely strong. A strong force as thin as a thread was dismantling the self-defense force that was wrapped around his body and even cutting off the flesh inside..

“Wow!!”

Elder Gu, covered in blood, screamed and swung his sword wildly. Baek Moo-heun avoided it all and dismantled Elder Gu’s self-defense equipment..

To make matters worse,

“Since you've had enough to rest, I'll give you a hand..”

The old swordsman, who recovered his stamina after a short rest, joined the battlefield with death pouring out of his eyes..

The subsequent fight was one-sided..

Elder Gu’s expression became increasingly filled with fear and despair.,

“That, stop……!”

The moment the whirlwind sword technique completely broke the self-defense energy surrounding Gu Jang-ro, the match was decided..

Puuk!

The sword of Maegeukryeom, which squeezed out its last strength, pierced through the heart..

Wow!

At the same time, the Changryongshingeom blew Elder Gu’s head into the air..

Elder Gu’s neck fell on the floor and touched Baek Mu-heun’s feet..

Mae Geuk-ryeom and Baek Mu-heun took a deep breath. They also looked sloppy..

“Phew… … . This is why everyone sacrifices their lives for a good sword. father-in-law?”

“……don't talk to me.”

Mae Geukryeom literally had no strength to move and sat down on the floor. Baek Mu-heun came and looked at him..

“Let me take a look at your wounds..”

Baek Mu-heun skillfully applied Geumchang medicine to the wound and bandaged it. The hands handling the patient seemed quite familiar..

“I administered first aid... … . Can't you walk??”

“……don't do it.”

“yes. I'll give you a special piggyback ride.”

Baek Mu-heun forced his father-in-law, who said he didn't like it, to carry him..

I thought it would be heavy because it was the body of a trained warrior, but it was much lighter than I thought..

“Shall I make you some medicine later??”

“……The white sound.”

Mae Geukryeom, perhaps feeling embarrassed for being carried on his back by his son-in-law, changed the topic..

“Even thinking about it again, it's a pity.”

“yes? What is it?”

“This is the Yongbongbimu dance that you participated in. If you had trained a little harder back then, you would have won..”

“When did the story start?…….”

Baek Mu-heun, who was shaking his head, suddenly burst into laughter..

It also brought back memories of those times..

“Father-in-law. It's a story I'm only telling now... … . no, no.”

“Why do you stop talking??”

“Can you promise not to get angry??”

“I don't know what kind of accident you caused, but what's there to be angry about now?.”

At the benevolent voice coming from behind, Baek Mu-heun confessed the truth he had kept secret for thirty years..

“When I went up to Yongbongbimu Sagang. Actually, I had to abstain from drinking halfway through..”

“……Inoooom!”

“Wow! Father-in-law! Don't strangle yourself! What power do old people who are dying have?……!”

way back together.

As the two moved, a long shadow reflected on the wall staggered as if drunk..
