Chapter 537
537fury. There's one more
The Ten Lords of Wulin, King Yue Fei, lost in a life-or-death battle..
He did not die in the fight against the blood religion, but his head was cut off by the sword swung by the son of the Namgung family. There were hundreds of pairs of eyes that witnessed the scene..
Gulp…….
Even after the fight was over, no one dared to open their mouth. The area of the Emperor Sword type seemed to extend to hundreds of pages..
The crowd watched with bated breath, then began to murmur one by one..
“……I can't believe it when I see it. King Chang is so overwhelming…….”
“Is the person whose head was cut off really King Chang??”
“Are you trying to say no after seeing the incredible fight just a moment ago? Who in the world would treat a spear like that?!”
“However, the supply and demand that arrived in the morning is clearly…….”
“These are difficult times. In less than a year, two of the Ten Lords have died.…….”
“In this case, it is fair to say that it has changed. The Thunder God of the Namgung family has been crowned as the new Ten Lords..”
“Namgoong’s power is still scary. Even after going through that bloody death, did you manage to raise a new expert?…….”
Because the two peerless fighters engaged in an incredible fight, most people had no choice but to stand back and watch the fight. Moreover, because they were constantly fighting against the blood religion, few people heard the conversation between the two world-class experts..
However, the scene where Yue Fei's head was blown off while he was on his knees remained vivid in everyone's mind. Along with the image of Namgung-su cutting off the head as if beheading a high treason criminal..
Nangongsu looked at Yue Fei's painfully distorted face for a moment and then raised his head..
[Is it okay??]
Hearing the worried voice of Changryong Shingeom, Namgungsu nodded slightly..
On the outside, he looked fine with no major injuries, but the internal injuries were serious. It was because he went to great lengths to end the fight with Yue Fei as quickly as possible..
[Wouldn't it be a good idea to ask your colleagues to help you protect the law, even just for a moment??]
“……I don't think I'll have time for that..”
I'm used to this level of pain. Namgungsu muttered softly and looked around, hiding his pale complexion with an expressionless expression..
Most of the warriors who made eye contact with him avoided their gaze, but not everyone looked at the new Ten Lords with awe..
“The head of the family……!”
In particular, the atmosphere of the musicians was unusual. There were quite a few people who were glaring at Namgungsu as if he were going to kill them. Because I saw his status, I couldn't do anything rashly, and his expression was full of anger and hostility..
‘It's something I was prepared to do.’
Since he killed the head of the Murim family, it was natural to incur the resentment of its members. Kangho's support was never light..
Still, I had to do it. If Yue Fei had been spared, the three-chili tongue would have caused another uproar. I had no choice but to nip it in the bud in the first place..
I had the confidence to endure it. Namgungsu looked around, held his sword tightly, and opened his mouth..
“If you are dissatisfied with me…….”
“The head of the family!”
Everyone's eyes turned to someone other than Namgungsu at the sight of a scream. There was a small family member of the Shandong music family..
Ak Yeon-hwa was supporting Ak Yeon-ho, who was seriously injured. After looking around at the family's warriors, she looked at Namgungsu again..
“He lost his senses due to the evil witchcraft of the blood religion..”
“……!”
A bigger shock than when the head of the family fell was spread among the evil warriors. Namgungsu remained silent, neither confirming nor denying..
[Namgung Daehyeop. I will take care of this..]
It was because of the sound of the evil love story that was heard just now..
“The head of the family did not even recognize me, his flesh and blood, and tried to kill me. If Namgung Daehyup hadn’t come at the right time… … Both of us would have lost our lives..”
When Sogaju, who was expected to be more angry than anyone else about his father's death, defended Namgungsu's actions, the evil family members fell into great confusion..
“Sister, sister?”
A startled Ak Yeon-ho looked back at her..
It was a look that meant why would you lie like that?.
What she said just now was no different from throwing the honor of the family head and the honor of the family into the mud..
‘this is best.’
Ak Yeon-hwa said that with her eyes, took a deep breath for a moment to control her emotions, and then spoke to everyone with a determined expression..
“At the last moment, the matriarch, who briefly regained her senses due to a flash of light... … He preferred to die honorably as a warrior rather than become a puppet of the blood religion. So, he asked Namgung Daehyeop to cut off his head himself. I heard it all clearly with my own ears.”
The strength was slowly released from the hands of the evil warriors. Instead, hatred toward blood religion boiled over..
“How dare the religious bastards…….”
“I can't forgive!”
Ak Yeon-hwa, who turned the hostility towards Namgung-su into a blood feud, loudly ordered the warriors of the family..
“The warriors of the evil family should aim their spears at the enemies, not the family's benefactors.!”
The battle that had stopped for a while has resumed..
While sporadic fights were taking place everywhere, Namgungsu approached Akh Yeonho, who was being supported by Akh Yeonhwa..
Ak Yeon-ho smiled with a pale complexion..
“older brother…….”
“Injuries?”
“It's like this. If you rest for a while, you'll get better soon..”
Namgungsu frowned, but then nodded..
I didn't believe that kind of joke, but shouts and screams were coming from all directions. We couldn't just focus on Ak Yeon-ho's injury..
“You can rest now. I'll take care of the rest.”
“Namgung Daehyeop. I have something to tell you.”
Ak Yeon-hwa intervened in the conversation between the two people. She lowered her voice and said.
“It is said that there is a secret passage through the canyon..”
“……Please tell me in detail.”
Ae Yeon-hwa honestly confessed the story she heard from Ae Fei..
A secret passage that exists somewhere in the canyon..
If we can find that location, we will be able to get the wounded and students out of the battlefield safely..
After hearing the story, Namgungsu shook his head and asked..
“Is there anyone who might know about the secret passage? I wouldn't have made the passage by myself.…….”
“well… … ah!”
Ak Yeon-hwa spoke as a person's face suddenly appeared..
“Uncle Jinheon might know..”
“Are you my father??”
Ak Yeon-hwa nodded to Ak Yeon-ho’s question..
“Because there is no way that self-respecting warriors would have dug a cave. They must have called in workers to do it, and it must have cost a considerable amount of money, including wages..”
The story was that Ak Jin-heon, who works at the General Administration Department, might remember the flow of money..
Fortunately, her prediction came true..
“It's a secret passage.…….”
As soon as Ak Jin-heon, who was hiding in a safe place with the help of Ak Yeon-ho, heard about the secret passage, he searched his memory and said that one thing came to mind..
“In the past, I was trying to build a cave for closed-tube training, but it ended up being a disaster. Maybe it is connected to a secret passage. At the time, the cost and time were unusually high, but the head of the family suddenly ordered it to be closed..”
“Uncle. Where is that place??”
Ak Yeon-hwa’s eyes sparkled. She intuitively realized that it was the secret passage that Yue Fei had mentioned..
However, Ak Jin-heon showed an expression of apology to So Ga-ju..
“Sorry, I'm not sure of the exact location. It's night so the surroundings are dark... … . I think I can find it if my friends who have worked at the branch for a long time help me.…….”
“If you don't mind, may I help you??”
Everyone's heads turned in the direction the voice came from. Ak Yeon-ho was delighted to see a familiar face..
“Donggeol-ah!”
He was Donggeol, a guard who guarded the main gate of the branch..
When he was young, he was a friend of Yeonho's martial arts training, but due to his lack of qualifications, he had to remain a low-level warrior..
He must have been through a tough fight, his uniform was soaked in blood and his arms were bandaged..
Donggeol said with a somewhat pale complexion..
“I know the terrain here better than anyone else. I've been here for over ten years..”
“Good! Can I ask for directions??”
“Of course. Elderly.”
In response to Ak Jin-heon’s question, Dong-geol bowed his head politely..
In order to shorten the time as much as possible, Namgungsu decided to find a secret passage with them himself..
“Donggeol. I will take care of my father.”
Ak Yeon-ho, who was seriously injured and could not go with them, held Dong-geol's hand with his free hand..
Donggeol answered awkwardly..
“All right. master.”
“I'm not a master anymore. I decided to give up my last name, Mr. Ak..”
Hearing those words, Ak Jin-heon smiled bitterly. The father and son seemed to have already talked, so they didn't seem surprised..
“So, you can call me comfortably now. Donggeol-ah.”
Dong-geol hesitated for a moment and then smiled awkwardly..
“……Yeonho. thanks. And I was sorry.”
They were two people who could no longer be friends due to their different social status and different situations. I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. So even though he unilaterally distanced himself from Yeonho, he still thought of himself as a friend..
A bright smile also bloomed on Ak Yeon-ho’s face. It was a smile so precious that you could forget for a moment that it was a battlefield..
“If we survive here, let's have a drink later..”
“okay. please.”
The two smiled and promised to meet each other later..
* * *
Namgungsu moved with Ak Jinheon and Donggeol to find a secret passage..
Pajik, Pajijijik!
Every time the lightning flashed, the blood cultists' shouts and screams rang out. We advanced, eliminating enemies as we saw..
‘We have to hurry..’
I had a strangely strong premonition..
As I reached a higher level, did I awaken to a new sense? Namgungsu’s expression hardened due to unidentifiable anxiety..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!
A series of loud noises were heard from afar. It was the aftermath of King Noh and King Yeom fighting against their enemies of life and death..
Although he felt that the presence of the two people was getting weaker, Namgungsu could not go to help them..
[Don't overdo it, even if you're lucky,!]
Namgungsu shook his head despite Changryong Shingeom’s advice to start with luck..
‘I should have said it. I don't have time for that.’
[How can their stubbornness be so similar?…….]
Leaving behind Changryong Shingeom’s lament, Namgungsu focused on finding the secret passage..
Fortunately, it didn't take long to find the location. Tracing Ak Jin-heon's memories, I found my way following Dong-geol's guidance..
Soon the three reached the dead end wall of the canyon. Ak Jin-heon checked the map and pointed to the large rock in front of him..
“Namgung Daehyeop. I think it's behind that rock.!”
“Please step aside for a moment.”
썣썄죤 죣죣!
As the sword was swung at a speed that was barely visible, the rock blocking the entrance broke into dozens of pieces and collapsed. And finally, the hidden entrance to the cave appeared..
Namgungsu spread his energy widely and confirmed that there was a long passageway inside the cave..
“That seems correct. The road continues inside.”
“Phew…….”
At Namgungsu’s words, the two people simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Dong-geol said, wiping the sweat from his forehead..
“Good. Now, let's bring the students and the injured here and get them out.…….”
It was then.
Namgungsu turned around, raised his sword and pointed into the darkness. It was only for a moment, but a shockingly sharp sharp stab ran down his spine..
“Come out.”
The bushes in the dark swayed, and a small shadow slowly walked out..
Two people facing each other under the moonlight looked embarrassed at the same time..
“Teacher Namgoongsu?”
“……Wijicheon?”
They were two people who could not properly recognize the surprising change in each other. Namgungsu lowered his sword slightly, and Wijicheon swept his chest..
“who is behind?”
“Since you are a good student, please put down your sword.!”
A short-haired girl walked out with a cheerful voice that was somewhat out of place on the battlefield. There was a man tied with rope hanging behind him..
Namgungsu narrowed his eyebrows and asked..
“Are you a student at Jujak Hall??”
“yes. And there's one more thing.”
He pulled the rope of the man he was dragging and pushed him forward..
A man whose entire body was in tatters had both his arms cut off. Ak Jin-heon recognized his face and said in surprise..
“Isn’t he one of the three famous monsters??”
Surprisingly, the man was the strangest of the three swordsmen who wielded a spear..
Wijicheon and Yeonha.
And a teenage villain whose arm was cut off and was imprisoned..
In this situation, Namgoongsu came up with a hypothesis and asked with a slightly surprised expression..
“Did you two capture the teenage villain??”
“yes.”
“Somehow… … . We fit together better than I thought..”
The geniuses of the Blue Dragon Academy and the Jujak Academy nodded as if it was no big deal..
