Chapter 432
432fury. Home visit (5) - Long-awaited wish
Just before Meng Haobong's mountain strike reached Jeongmanpae's body, the green robed monk who was closely watching their confrontation shouted to his subordinates:.
“Everyone get out of the way!”
The bandits moved instinctively at Chaeju's frost-like voice. As if the excited laughter and chatter just moments ago was a lie, he immediately stepped back and became wary. It was a scene that showed how well the training went..
Judgments and actions made immediately.
If the two had engaged in a confrontation using internal energy, it would have been too late, but fortunately, it was an external attack competition using only the body..
However, in other words, even though it was a foreign attack, it was dangerous enough to worry about repercussions..
“……This is so loud.”
Jeokmanpae sighed softly as he watched the blurry movements of Baeksuryong crawling into his arms..
thud……!
The moment Baek Su-ryong's shoulder touched Jeok Man-pae's chest, ripples rippled across Jeok Man-pae's muscles and the shock spread. An earth-shaking roar and shock wave erupted next..
―Ughhhhh!
With the sound of the drum exploding, the flag flew and destroyed everything in its path..
“debt lord!”
“older brother-!”
The bandits cried out for debtors with surprised expressions, and some glared at Baeksu-ryong with ferocious eyes..
Until just a moment ago, the bandits were very fond of Baeksu-ryong..
As one of the top leaders of the political faction, he drank with the bandits, got into physical contact with them, and instead of ignoring them as bandits, treated them as 'the same people'..
It didn't matter that the method was a bit rough. Rather, that aspect was enough to win Nokrim’s favor..
However, the attack that just blew up the debtor was an attack that could not possibly be called an external attack from the bandits' perspective..
“Where is the use of inner strength?!”
“Give a helping hand to our debtor……!”
A faint spark of murder appeared in the bandits' eyes. The bandits who were close to the debtor slowly reached for their weapons..
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong stood still and looked at his hands without making any excuses. Seeing that calm appearance, more sparks flew out of the bandits' eyes..
“Would you like to explain??”
The green-robed monk was at the head of his men, staring at Baeksu-ryong with a serious expression. It was a moment when the atmosphere was about to turn into an imminent situation..
“Cough! What are you doing to be rude to a customer?!”
With a coughing sound, Jeokmanpae rose from the pile of collapsed rubble..
“Who used my skills? You simple bastards. If the Blue Dragon Credit Union decided to kill me, would I be able to rise again??”
“debt stock…….”
“formation. I'm fine. You guys! Apologize to the customer right away!”
After clearly warning his subordinates to prevent them from acting rashly, Jeok Man-pae looked at Baek Soo-ryong, licking his lips with regret..
“I lost. Just that ancient law... … I hope you can give it a try again later. I learned a lesson well..”
Jeokmanpae took the gun and admitted his defeat cleanly..
If you look at the fact that he got up unharmed after being hit by a fierce mountain attack, he was also a monster with tremendous tenacity..
“……I really learned a lot.”
Baek Su-ryong was relieved only after seeing him wake up..
At the moment of the fierce attack, Baek Su-ryong thought that all the organs in the opponent's body might have exploded..
‘I'm still immature.’
Meng Haofeng Mountain Strike (猛虎崩山擊)).
Although I was able to force myself to use it, I never used herbivore until now because it was too hard on my body..
Actually, I thought there was no need to use the sword since I had it..
However, when I actually saw Master Meng's martial arts skills properly displayed, the power was so powerful that even I could not believe it..
Baek Soo-ryong politely took the gun from Jeok Man-pae..
“Thank you for your concession. If the debtor had asked to continue, I would have been the one falling to the floor..”
“What are you talking about? You are too humble..”
“I'm serious.”
The Baeksuryong's hand, which was wielding a sword, was trembling slightly..
The price of suddenly adopting an unfamiliar herbivore.
There was no way a master with a score of 10,000 losses would miss that sight. he asked with a surprised expression.
“……Are you overdoing it? to beat me?”
Baek Soo-ryong sighed and nodded obediently..
“It was the only way I could think of to defeat the hero of the green forest, so I acted recklessly..”
In fact, his body had not yet adapted to the first herbivore, but Baek Soo-ryong allowed Jeok Man-pae to misunderstand that good things were good things..
As expected, Jeokmanpae looked very happy..
“Hahaha! Why so much! Well, even Blue Dragon Credit Union can't blow me away that easily.!”
“I never imagined that I would come to Green Forest and have my eyes opened.?”
“Hahahaha! I don't know what to do with all the undeserved praise.!”
Leaving behind Jeokmanpae, who was laughing heartily, Baek Soo-ryong turned to look at the bandits with bewildered expressions and the green-clad monk who still had suspicious looks in his eyes..
“I learned a lot from the heroes of Green Forest today. Until now, I have prided myself on not being able to lose to anyone in external skills, but after competing with you, I realized my shortcomings. So why don't we call today's game a draw??”
The bandits, who were angry because they thought the debtor was seriously injured, quickly changed their stance as if they had never done so before..
“A draw! Of course, it is a victory for Blue Dragon Credit Union.!”
“I now have something to be proud of for the rest of my life.!”
“How on earth did you train your body??”
“Can I raise a drink for Cheongryong Credit Union??”
Being simple and honest was both an advantage and a disadvantage, like the men of Nokrim. The drinking party naturally resumed, and the atmosphere quickly became lively again..
“Ha, this is true…….”
Seeing the sight of Cheongryong Shinhyeop hanging out with the bandits of Yeomrachae again and having a drinking session as if they had been fighting each other for a while, the monk in green laughed..
‘They said he was someone close to us. Suhyuk. Is this what it meant??’
Detective Nokui wanted to meet in person and find out what kind of person Baek Su-ryong of Blue Dragon Credit Union is and what kind of thoughts and intentions he has..
So, in the name of entertaining guests, he held a banquet and offered them drinks, and even when his subordinates suggested a foreign attack battle, he only pretended to stop them..
I had heard quite a lot about Ya Soo-hyuk, so I knew that his external skills were very outstanding. I also wanted to see that skill with my own eyes..
‘I never thought it would surpass even my expectations..’
I never imagined that Blue Dragon Credit Union would have trained my body to this extent. In particular, the ancient law he showed at the end while dealing with the debtor was…….
‘It was the martial arts of the King of Green Forest. It was a proper martial art, not something that just anyone could imitate..’
Detective Green felt like he had experienced all the surprising things in the last few years today..
“Although I expected it…….”
That guy called Blue Dragon Credit Union.
He was not just a martial arts expert..
Detective Green has now decided to take a step back and stop observing..
thud-!
The bandits' heads turned at the same time as the ground shook..
The green-robed monk, who had everyone's attention, looked around at his subordinates and said,.
“It's late. Since the guests coming from afar will be tired, let's end the feast here..”
It was already late at night.
Everyone was disappointed, but they got up obediently and started to clean up the place..
The rules of Yeomrachae were famous for being stricter than those of any other green forest mountain vegetables..
Although it seemed quite relaxed at times, even that was a freedom achieved within discipline..
“teacher. I will guide you to where you will stay tonight..”
“thank you.”
The green robe volunteered to personally guide them to their lodgings. Baek Soo-ryong said his thanks and followed behind..
At that time, the torches of the mountain village were shaken by the sudden strong wind..
Grumbling!
The moment the flame spread to the side, the shadow of the White Water Dragon under the light instantly swelled to a gigantic size. It seemed as if a giant several times his size was walking behind the Blue Dragon Credit Union..
* * *
Baek Soo-ryong finally got to fight alone with the Nok-ui monk..
Attending the Green Forest's feast wasn't too bad, but I didn't come there to have fun in the first place, but to attract the Green Forest Priest to my alliance..
“As I told you in advance in the letter I sent you earlier, the reason I came here today is not simply to see Ya Su-hyuk's father, but to propose an alliance with Nokrim..”
“I have read the letter you sent me several times..”
The two men sat across from each other and drank tea..
It was quite a sight to see two men with an appearance closer to that of a scholar than a warrior drinking tea with an upright posture inside a huge mountain hut, the size of which could be counted on one hand in the green forest..
However, the conversation between them was not a light chat, but an important issue that would determine the future situation of Kangho..
The green-robed monk took a sip of tea and asked with a calm expression..
“Let me ask you directly. What benefit does this alliance have for us??”
“The biggest benefit is safety. As you know, the blood religion will never leave Green Forest alone. To go to war with the entire martial forest, you have to pass through numerous mountains, and most of the mountains have green forests. The Blood Cult will try to keep them under its control or, if they do not obey, annihilate them and use them as a forward base. and…….”
Baeksu-ryong proposed to the Green-clad monk the safety and benefits they would gain by forming an alliance, as well as the rewards they could promise..
“Akingok and Beihai Ice Palace have already decided to join me..”
“……Your resourcefulness is amazing..”
The green-robed monk was impressed once again and took another sip of tea..
He was lost in thought while listening to Baek Soo-ryong's story..
In fact, I thought about it countless times even before this position was created..
But the conclusion was always the same.
“I don't believe in political factions.”
“…….”
“Especially Gupailbang and Odaese. Hypocrites from arrogant political factions like them do not treat Nokrim as a human being. I think of them as pests that can be killed by stepping on them at any time. That's why this alliance can't happen.”
The green robed monk stood up and politely took his gun..
Although he had a great liking for the Blue Dragon Credit Association as an individual, an alliance with a political faction was not possible with that alone..
“I'm sorry for making you walk the long way in vain. I was going to reply by letter, but I didn't expect you to come before that..”
“for a moment.”
Baeksu-ryong called out to the green-robed monk who was about to turn around..
“There was a misunderstanding..”
“……?”
“This does not mean forming an alliance with a political faction. The nine factions and the five major families have nothing to do with this alliance..”
“……then?”
“I want to form an alliance with the White Water Dragon..”
The green-robed monk thought for a moment and then sat down again. It was because Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes were so serious..
“I'd like to hear more.”
“Cheongryong Academic Center. Wicked song. North Sea Ice Palace. Murim League. These are my allies of influence. I plan to settle the matter with Gu-Fail-Bang later, but I won't tell you because I don't have anything yet. but.”
Baek Soo-ryong spoke in a clear and firm tone..
“If Noklim becomes an ally, I will help Gupailbang to never mess with Nokrim again..”
“……How do you mean?”
The green-robed monk glared at Baeksu-ryong with an expression of anger..
In the history of martial arts, Nokrim was the most common villain, and Gupailbang was the hero who punished the villains..
But the hero wasn't always right.
People who ran away to the mountains just to survive were treated like insects that could be killed at will, and they even slaughtered innocent people out of a desire for publicity..
The political faction even praised such people, calling them charlatans. If the opponent is green, even brutal hand speed is packaged with bravery..
-We wield swords to make a living, but charlatans wield swords to enhance their reputation. Which of the two is worse??
The monk in green recalled the words of a friend who died a long time ago..
Even if Blue Dragon Credit Union is one of the Ten Masters of the time, can it change this green forest reality??
‘If you try to deceive me with absurd stories…….’
No matter how much he was my son's teacher and the Ten Masters of Wulin, I wasn't going to stay still..
Baek Soo-ryong, who was staring blankly into the green-robed monk's eyes, opened his mouth with a serious face..
“First of all, let me ask you one thing..”
It was a question, not an answer.
A question that will completely change the history of green forests in the future..
“Nokrimtuwang's long-cherished wish was to make Nokrim into a great bangpa that was as good as Gupilbang. Is this true for you??”
“……!!”
The green-robed monk looked at the white water dragon with wide eyes. At the same time, the teacup in his hand broke into dozens of pieces and flowed between his fingers..
